Definitions
- This invention relates to player-operable entertainment machines, particularly coin-operated amusement with prizes (AWP) machines, such as "fruit” or “poker” machines of the kind having a main display device for displaying a selected combination of symbols at a win zone.
- ADP amusement with prizes
- coin is intended also to cover tokens, charge or credit cards or any other means of supplying credit or monetary value.
- the awards of different award zones may be of different kinds. For example, awards may change by increase in value from zone to zone, or by range of awards or otherwise. Thus, there may be an incentive for the player to seek to move to another zone, rather than obtaining an award already offered on one zone, e.g. in the hope of obtaining a higher value award.
- the player inserts coins into the coin mechanism 13 through the slot 7 sufficient to generate credit for one or more games, and the machine is actuated so that a game can now be played.
- the game commences after a start button 5 has been pressed and the reels 9 spin and then come to rest so as to select a combination of symbols displayed on the win line.
- the displayed symbol combination is assessed by the control unit 12 and a win indication is given in the event that the combination is of a predetermined winning nature.
- the control buttons 6 can be used to perform 'hold' or 'nudge' functions, when made available to the player, so that the player can seek to influence the outcome of a game, in conventional manner.
- this games feature comprises a wraparound trail 17 comprising a series of printed sections 18 marked with decoration, information and symbols.
