Abstract

An entertainment machine (1) operable to play a game of a predetermined minimum duration, the machine having a plurality of reels (8) with a variety of symbols about their peripheries which rotate after a game credit has been staked and come to rest so that each reel (8) shows one symbol on a central horizontal win line, the resultant display of symbols is assessed by a control unit and a win indication produced in the event that a predetermined combination of the displayed symbols is of a predetermined winning nature, immediately after the win has been assessed the reels (8) are automatically rotated again within the same game without any further stake being debited to once again come to rest to produce a fresh display of symbols and are again win-assessed.
