Coin-operated amusement machine using double-sided card displays

摘要

The cards (6) depicted on rotors (4) of "fruit-machine" type carry symbols (7) alternately on front and back only and are visible through three windows (3), adjacent backs (8) being patterned like conventional playing cards, and displayed when the top card is rotated through one step. The player wins when the rotation of a "back" by a selected pushbutton (10) brings up a winning symbol. Winnings may be distributed (11) or accumulated (12), and risk multipliers (17, 24) activated by a button (21) with the risk of loss (20) of any accumulated winnings. Two concealed cards can be "drawn" when a jackpot (23) is full.
