Excerpt
Excerpt column 3 line 12-36: In operation, the player selects a digit for each of the reels 12, 14 and 16. Typically, when the player inserts a token into the slot 18, reel one of the indicators of the select digit indicator 34 will become illuminated. Once activated by the token, the indicator 38 bearing the message token accepted will become illuminated. The indicator of the select digit indicator 34 corresponding to the particular player selected digit of the digital display 36 will be, for example, cyclically iluminated, flashing ON and OFF. The player may then enter the desired digit by depressing a particular keyswitch 30 of the keypad 28. After a number is selected via keypad 28, the corresponding select digit indicator 34 will remain continuously on, demonstrating to the player that a number for that corresponding reel has been selected. This sequence is repeated until all selections are made. Each time the keyswitch 30 is depressed the next digit is selected until the last digit has been selected. At this point another actuation of the clear button 32 allows the first digit to be selected again and the process may be repeated as often as desired. After the last digit has been selected, the player pulls the handle 20 to begin play. The player wins if any one of the reels 12, 14 or 16 displays the corresponding previously player selected digit. |
