ABSTRACT:
A gaming apparatus may include a cabinet having a front face, a gaming display supported inside the cabinet and positioned adjacent the cabinet front face, the gaming display being operable to generate images and a controller operatively coupled to the gaming display. The controller may comprise a processor and a memory operatively coupled to the processor. The controller may be programmed to allow a person to make a wager, cause an image associated with a game to be generated on the gaming display, to determine an outcome of the game represented by the image and to determine a value payout associated with the outcome of the game. The controller also may be programmed to display on the gaming display a plurality of display elements which change from displaying cards to displaying portions of a first display object wherein the portions of the first display object create an identifiable image.
