Abstract

A coin-operated entertainment machine, such as a fruit machine, can be used to play a game resulting in the selection and display of a combination of symbols. A win indication is given in the event that a winning symbol combination is obtained. A jackpot display (18) is provided and the player has an opportunity of obtaining a jackpot win and a corresponding award. When a jackpot win is obtained the machine may operate to augment the displayed jackpot value and the corresponding amount awarded.
