Coin-operated amusement machine with computer-controlled jackpots

摘要

Winning or losing combinations of symbols visible through windows (4) are presented by rotation of wheels (5) set in motion by coins inserted into a slot (10). Each jackpot (19) represented by a ladder arrangement of illuminated display elements (20) can be filled up or emptied in accordance with the number of steps of chance attained during a game on a longer ladder (13) and shown on a separate display (21). The chance of winning can be increased by activation of a predetermined or randomly chosen element of either jackpot when the other is emptied.
