Abstract
An electronic system to implement a networked interactive game. A slot machine game based on a random number generator operates alongside a side game which can require physical dexterity. Awards from both the slot machine game and the side game are combined and accumulated throughout the game. Computer generated animation is utilized to enhance the side game and provide opportunity for the player to use dexterity to earn more credits. A plurality of machines are networked and communicate their scores (win points) to a central server which administers the game and identifies each winning machine and its respective award.
