Abstract (en)

The method involves evaluating the simple or repeating pool of profit symbols in every profit line (8-12) shown the symbol game mechanism (2) of a coin-operated game machine (1) to determine agreeing, homogenous or equivalent profit symbols which indicate the profit value. The profit symbols are evaluated from left to right or vice versa. The profit symbols are shown in matrix form by a control unit which includes a pseudo random number generator for producing the profit symbols.
