Abstract

A coin-operated entertainment machine has a main display device, such as rotatable symbol-bearing reels (9), for use in playing a main game involving the selection and display of symbols. There is a supplementary play feature which acts on occasions automatically to select and display award indications which may be play features or bonuses. This play feature may consist of a closed-loop track (19), arranged around the main display device (9), with multiple positions (20). Play progresses from position to position (20), e.g. by back illumination, to arrive at a final position (20) at which the award is indicated.
