A games system comprises a plurality of entertainment machines 1 linked to a common display device 21, which may be a set of reels 22 or a selector wheel (17, figure 1), and an award is made available at one or more of the individual machines 1 in dependence on a display attained on the common display device 21. This may provide an additional award opportunity for one of the individual machines 1, or alternatively when one machine 1 attains a win on the common display device 21, the winnings may be shared amongst all of the linked machines 1. The award paid out from the common display device 21 is preferably of greater value than can be won on an individual machine 1 without using said common display device. The entertainment machines 1 may be coin operated 'fruit' or 'poker' machines. Preferably, the entertainment machines 1 are located side by side, and the common display device may be mounted on top of the machines 1. |
