ABSTRACT:
An improved slot machine provides a plurality of animated scenes, the outcomes of which determine whether the player has won. The slot machine provides some of the traditional elements of a slot machine but with improved entertainment replacing the spinning reels. Scenes may depict objects that are moving toward a line, which is reminiscent of the line in the traditional slot machine, but in this case represents something physical with which the objects interact. For example, the objects could be birds that are falling/flying down onto a wire. In another example, the objects are freely falling onto the ground or floor. The scenes depict several possible outcomes of the interaction between the objects. Based upon the resulting outcomes (e.g. matching outcomes, like a traditional slot machine) the player wins or loses.
