Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Steuerung eines Spiel- oder Unterhaltungsautomaten, welcher zumindest eine zentrale Steuereinheit, mindestens ein Symbole aufweisendes Anzeigemittel (Walzen oder Scheiben oder Bildschirm), vom Spieler betätigbare Tasten zur Spielablaufbeeinflussung, Speicher mit zugeordneten Anzeigen für Guthaben und/oder Gewinn sowie ereignisabhängige Speicher aufweist. Die Erfindung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass das mindestens eine Symbole aufweisende Anzeigemittel mit verschiedenen Gewinnsymbolen und zumindest einem Verlustsymbol von der zentralen Steuereinheit angesteuert und auf zufälligen Positionen gestoppt wird. Nachfolgend wird mindestens ein in der Stoppposition der Symbole aufweisenden Anzeigemittel angezeigtes Gewinnsymbol in einem dem Gewinnsymbol zugeordneten Speicher gezählt, wobei dem jeweiligen Zählwert Gewinnwerte zugeordnet sind. Hierbei kann der Gewinnwert bis zu einer vorgegebenen unteren Zählwertgrenze Null sein und erst nach Überschreitung dieser unteren Zählwertgrenze größer Null werden. Bei Darstellung des Verlustsymbols in der Stoppposition der Symbole aufweisenden Anzeigemittel wird zumindest einer der den Gewinnsymbolen zugeordneten Speicher zurückgesetzt.

The invention relates to a method for controlling a gaming or amusement machine, which at least one central control unit, at least one symbols exhibiting display means (rollers or discs or screen), operable by the player buttons for gameplay control, memory with associated credit and / or profit displays and Has event-dependent memory. The invention is characterized in that the at least one symbols having display means is driven with different profit symbols and at least one loss symbol from the central control unit and stopped at random positions. Subsequently, at least one winning symbol displayed in the stop position of the symbols is counted in a memory assigned to the winning symbol, wherein the respective count value is associated with winning values. In this case, the profit value can be zero up to a predetermined lower count limit and only become greater than zero after exceeding this lower count limit. When displaying the loss symbol in the stop position of the symbols having display means at least one of the memory symbols associated with the memory is reset.
