Abstract (en)

A coin-operated entertainment machine has a main display device, such as rotatable reels (9), with which a main game can be played involving selection and display of symbols, a prize being awarded if the symbols make up a winning combination. Supplementary play features can be implemented, such as a feature game played on a display (15), or a gamble feature or a mystery award or the like. After inserting coins to provide credit at least equal to a required stake value a press button (4) can be operated to initiate game play. Different start buttons (4) are provided, each relating to a different range of supplementary play features. The player can select the desired range of such features by operating the corresponding button (4), the correspondence between the buttons (4) and the ranges of the features being indicated on a display (18). <IMAGE>
