Abstract (en)

A coin-operated entertainment machine, particularly a fruit machine, has a vdu screen on which symbols are displayed at a number of separate regions (9, 10, 11). Player-operable control buttons (4,5,6) are provided for use in replacing the symbol at one region (9 to 11) with a symbol displayed elsewhere on the screen (region 12). In a preferred embodiment the symbol to be replaced and the new symbol interchange positions in an operation involving simultaneous movement of the symbols across the screen.
