Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9738401A1] A coin-operated leisure machine has a play mechanism with symbols (1), at least one bonus mechanism (18, 19) and at least one jackpot box (28) designed as a real money collecting container (29) visible from outside the machine. In order to allow the payment of bonuses only when a predetermined admissible total winning amount per game is not reached, the jackpot box (28) can be filled when certain winning or partial winning combinations are displayed by the play mechanism with symbols (1) and/or certain losses or partial losses are displayed by the bonus mechanism (18, 19), after these winning combinations and/or losses are converted into amounts of money by a computer. The amounts of money accumulated in the jackpot box (28) can be paid out up to a fixed predetermined total winning amount per game when at least another determined winning or partial winning combination is displayed by the play mechanism with symbols (1) and/or another determined loss or partial loss is displayed by the bonus mechanism (18, 19), after said winning combinations or losses are converted by a computer into amounts of money (31).
