An electronic game machine 20 includes a radio paging signal receiver 22. This allows game programs pre-stored in the machine to be enabled by means of a suitably-encoded paging signal when payment arrangements to a games service provider have been agreed. The machine may also include a paging signal transmitter 24 allowing information to be sent to a controlling device and/or to another such game machine. In the latter case, players at different locations may play against each other. The machine may also receive and display conventional pager messages. |
