Abstract

The specification describes a slot machine with a prize display (12), a coin entry slot (13), a payout tray (14) and internally mounted game control processor circuits. The game display (11) comprises a video display screen (11) controlled to display a game image divided into a matrix of elements or player selectable zones. The video screen has an array of touch sensitive areas located on its display surface with one such area associated with each matrix element (40-48). The player selects one of the matrix elements (e.g. 44) by touching the screen within the area of the respective element to be selected, thereby causing the image in the element to change to reveal the associated prize value. Additional player controls are implemented by displaying images (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23), corresponding to controls on the screen such that when the control images are touched, the associated function is caused to be performed. In the event that the player wins the game, by aligning three of the selected zones in a straight line, the machine will pay him a prize equivalent to the sum of the prizes displayed in the zones selected by the player multiplied by the number of units bet, if appropriate.
