Slot machine device
First Claim
1. A slot machine device comprising changeable display means, a pseudo random number generator, a microprocessor connected between the number generator and display means for accessing former and controlling the latter to present an apparently randomly selected character, said display means comprising a matrix of activatable display elements arranged in rows and columns, character generator means connected between said microprocessor and display means and controlling activation of said display elements to present a character and to change the activated display elements to present the appearance of a moving character, and a variable speed timer connected to said microprocessor to modify the transfer rate of randomly selected character input signals from the microprocessor to said display element to simulate a decelerating mechanical wheel.
