ABSTRACT:
Gaming apparatus including a series of rotatable reels having indicia on the peripheries for displaying game results and which are set in motion when the game commences and which stop when the game ends. The gaming apparatus includes a number of computers for controlling the various functions such as the acceptance of a coin inserted into the apparatus, pay out of coins when a game is a winner, the commencement and termination of rotation of the reels, and the determination as to whether a game played is a winning game or a losing game. One of the computers includes a random number generator which generates a first random number that is compared to the hit frequency defined as the probability of a game being a winning game to determine whether the game played is a winner or a loser, and if the game is a losing game, the reels are stopped to display a losing combination. If the game is a winning game, a second random number is generated which is compared to the win probability set to determine the value of the win, and the reels are stopped at positions indicating a winning combination corresponding to the value won.
