  • a symbol game display which displays a game result on reading bodies covered with symbols behind reading windows
  • Such entertainment devices are known in a wide variety of embodiments. They include a symbol game device, which generally has three circulating bodies, which can be designed as rollers, disks, folding card carousels or the like.
  • the circulating bodies have symbols on the surface that can be seen from the outside through the reading window.
  • the circulating bodies are stopped one after the other and after all the circulating bodies have come to a standstill, the symbol combination displayed in the reading windows indicates a gain or loss. Different amounts of money and / or points and / or special games or the like promised.
  • buttons can be provided for the other circulating bodies in order to allow the player to stop a rotating circulating body, which gives the player the impression that he can influence the game action and thus the symbol combination resulting from the game.

  • EP-B1-0 253 584 discloses a game and entertainment device with at least one separate display area in the form of a screen, which is controlled by a control unit according to a graphics program from a number of different graphics programs. Features in a graphic scene are enlarged so that they occupy a larger area of the display area in a subsequent graphic scene.
  • a slot machine with a screen and several recording media for example compact disks or video tapes.
  • Several key scenes for a certain sport are recorded on these record carriers, for example for a soccer or tennis game.
  • One of the available sports can be selected using a keypad, so that part of the corresponding key scene is displayed on the screen and then stopped.
  • the player selects a bet that is directed to the further event of the key scene, which comprises several different sequels (game progressions). After the bet has been selected, the key scene will continue to be played and a profit will be given if the correct betting event occurs, or the bet will be lost if the betting event does not occur.
  • the task is solved in that game-animated or general commercials are displayed on the screen under computer control.
  • These commercials of different content present themselves visually and possibly also acoustically to the player, so that the entertainment device as such already has an appealing effect on the player.
  • the commercials should encourage the player to use the device and further increase their interest in the game.
  • At least one commercial contains skill game elements which can be put together to be key-controlled and / or randomly controlled to form an overall picture, a profit being achieved if the correct composition is successful.
  • skill game elements which can be put together to be key-controlled and / or randomly controlled to form an overall picture, a profit being achieved if the correct composition is successful.
  • Such a game of skill shown on the screen can be designed, for example, in the manner of a puzzle which consists of several parts and must be put together to form an overall picture in order to achieve a profit.
  • the game of skill developed as a puzzle could consist of creating the overall picture of a Coke can.

Furthermore, the profit made in a skill game of an advertising spot is expediently paid by a third party. This significantly reduces the effort of the manufacturer and / or installer for the entertainment device.
