Abstract (en)

A gaming or amusement machine comprises a die or similar symbol carrying body ( 1) which can be orientated with respect to axes passing through the body ( 1) to present symbols at a viewing station (D) in the machine. Drive means ( 6, 7) is provided to move the body between different presentation positions in which different symbols are presented to the viewing station (D) and sensor means ( 8, 9) detects the orientation of the body ( 1) and produces signals indicative of the symbol presented to the viewing station (D). Control means ( 12) receives signals from the sensor means and controls the drive means ( 6, 7) so that the symbol presented to the viewing station (D) is known to the control means and controlled by it. Driving the body ( 1) to present random faces of the body to the viewing station (D) provides a game of chance. <IMAGE>
