GAMING MACHINE WITH BONUS GAME
First Claim
1. Amusement or gaming apparatus comprising first electronic simulation apparatus for simulating the playing of a fruit machine game, and first display means providing a display which simulates a display window or video of a fruit machine, to display the game as simulated by the first electronic simulation apparatus, second electronic simulation apparatus for simulating the playing of a feature game, and second display means providing a second display which simulates a display of the feature game, characterised in that the second display comprises a simulated dial, a simulated pointer pivoted at the centre of the dial, and variable means for swinging said pointer to rotationally sweep the dial between a starting position and a finishing position, the finishing position being determined by the setting of the variable means.

Abstract
A basic fruit machine simulator apparatus (10) is associated with a feature game apparatus (20), so that the feature game may be played when a score above a predetermined threshold is achieved in the basic game. The feature game includes a display (21) showing a dial having a movable pointer (23) and a blocked off zone (24), and divided into sections by dividers (22). The sections are selectively denoted as prize winning and non winning zones, and the outcome is determined by which ever zone the pointer comes to rest in. The pointer may be stopped at, or rebound from the blocked off zone (24). The fruit machine display (15) is driven by a simulator (32), and the dial display (21) is driven by a simulator (34).
