Abstract (en)
A fruit machine has a display screen (5) on which is formed an image consisting of a plurality of columns of symbols (1-4), the symbols progressing during play along the column to disappear from the bottom end thereof while fresh symbols appear at the top end of the column. The movement of the symbols is stopped at the end of the game to produce a static final image in which the combination of symbols determines whether or not a player has won. Column-exchanging means controlled by player controls (8 and 9) are provided to enable the player to exchange the positions of respective columns of symbols in the display in an attempt to achieve a winning combination.
