摘要： A slots game is comprised of a plurality of stages. Each operation of the game begins with the operation of a first stage. Depending on the outcome of the first stage the game may be over, or there may be an operation of a second stage. Depending on the outcome of the second stage, the game may be over or there may be an operation of another stage. This sequence continues until the game ends or until the final (nth) stage has been operated. A bet made on a stage of the game which is not played is lost. One embodiment is a multi-stage, multi-line, multi-coin video slot machine. The same game format with the same paytable is operated on each stage, with increasing payout multipliers at each stage providing an increasing amount to win at the higher stages. The “spin” at each stage is independent of the previous stages.
摘要翻译：老虎机游戏由多个阶段组成。游戏的每个操作开始于第一阶段的操作。根据第一阶段的结果，游戏可能已经结束，或者可能存在第二阶段的操作。根据第二阶段的结果，游戏可能已经结束，或者可能存在另一个阶段的操作。该序列继续，直到游戏结束或者直到最后（n ^{th ）阶段被操作。在游戏的舞台上进行的一场没有被打的赌注丢失了。一个实施例是多级，多线，多币投影视频老虎机。在每个阶段都运行相同的付款方式的相同的游戏格式，每个阶段的支付乘数越来越多，在较高阶段赢得越来越多的收益。每个阶段的“旋转”与以前的阶段无关。}

摘要： In an embodiment as a video gaming machine, a racetrack and a plurality of racers in the form of racecars are generated. The program driving the game includes a function for randomly assigning a finishing position for racers at the end of a race. A racecar is selected, as by player input, as the player's racer. The player inputs a wager, with the wager further preferably requiring an input by the player as to a number of races desired to be completed up to a preset maximum number for the game. The player can thus choose to bet upon all stages (races or laps) potentially available, or some lesser consecutive number of races. The first race is initiated, with the racecars being randomly assigned finishing positions. In this embodiment, there is the elimination of at least one racer as a result of a predetermined threshold finishing position required at the end of a race; that position could be anything other than last, for instance. Play continues with another race provided the player's racer has not been eliminated, and the next lap has been enabled; that can include an initial input by the player of a wager on the next stage (race, lap). This repeats until a game-ending event; such as the player's racer has been eliminated; or a predetermined number of races have been completed; or the player's racer is the last one not eliminated. A payout is awarded based upon the number of races completed by the player's racer and the finishing position of the player's racer in each race.

摘要： Gaming machines are disclosed having a basic mode defining a plurality of reels and a bonus mode defining a plurality of stations about a game board (e.g., MONOPOLY board) traversable by a token identifier. The disclosure describes a plurality of play features for the basic and/or bonus modes including (1) a feature allowing the player to select a game token; (2) a feature allowing the player to predict and wager on landing position(s) of the token identifier; (3) a feature allowing the player to obtain deferred-execution instruction(s) which are exercisable by the processor to override later-issued instruction(s) otherwise to be executed by the processor; (4) a feature in which movements of the token identifier are determined according to movement tables corresponding to the various stations of the game board; (5) a feature in which escalating bonuses are awarded for reaching a designated bonus square (e.g., the ‘GO’ square); (6) a feature in which bonuses are awarded for completing groups of stations (e.g., color groups); and (7) a feature in which the gaming machine includes two bonus modes, each entered upon certain symbol combinations in the basic game. The first bonus game provides an award selected from a plurality of fixed values and multipliers, and the second bonus game moves a token identifier on a game board and provides an award determined by the landing station of the token identifier.

摘要： A method for controlling a multi-tasking time slice to support a desired system frame operating time. Depending upon the number of tasks which take control within the desired system frame, and the length of the processing time required for each task, the system frame would extend beyond the desired system frame operating time. In this event, it is necessary to shorten the time slice so that subsequent frames remain as close as possible to the desired system frame operating time. Similarly, if extra time is left in each frame, then the slice time is expanded to allow tasks to complete processing within the desired system frame operating time without being sliced as often.
摘要翻译：一种用于控制多任务时间片以支持期望的系统帧操作时间的方法。取决于在期望的系统帧内进行控制的任务的数量以及每个任务所需的处理时间的长度，系统帧将延伸超出期望的系统帧操作时间。在这种情况下，有必要缩短时间片，使得后续帧保持尽可能接近期望的系统帧操作时间。类似地，如果在每个帧中留下额外的时间，则切片时间被扩展以允许任务在期望的系统帧操作时间内完成处理，而不经常被切片。

摘要： The present invention is a computer-controlled interactive playfield feature for pinball games. The system microprocessor monitors activity on the playfield and controls the interactive playfield feature, directing the player's attention to specific targets and activities on the playfield. The playfield feature operates in conjunction with a speech synthesizer, which may be programmed to taunt and challenge game player, increasing player appeal. In a preferred embodiment, the interactive playfield feature is in the shape of a jocular human head. The mouth, eyelids and eyes are movable under microprocessor control. The mouth serves as a ball target. When the player successfully shoots the ball in the mouth, a solenoid ball ejector returns the ball to the playfield. The eyes may be programmed to follow the travel of the pinball on the playfield.

摘要： A microprocessor system monitors operation of an amusement device, such as a pinball machine, to detect inoperative switches and the like associated with game features, such as drop targets. Inoperability is assumed if the switch has not been activated after a statistically significant number of game plays. When an inoperative switch is detected, an audio/visual announcement is generated to advise the operator that repair is necessary. In addition, the microprocessor alters the game rule operation to compensate for the inoperative switches to avoid player dissatisfaction. The processor system includes a microprocessor and associated memory and interface devices for connecting the game elements to the processor system.
