Abstract: A game information storage medium is removably connected to a first game machine having a first architecture, and includes a game program for a second game machine having a second architecture, an emulator program for converting the second architecture into an architecture compatible with the first architecture, and a game selection program. When the game information storage medium is started-up on the first game machine, by executing the game selection program, the first game machine displays a game title to be selected by a player, and executes a game program of the selected game title by using the emulator program.

Abstract: A gaming device including plurality of aligned channels mounted to the cabinet and a movable object is positioned in each channel. An actuator for engaging the movable object is positioned at the base of each channel and a partitioner for partitioning each channel into a plurality of sections is connected to each channel. An award is provided to the player based on the sections the moveable objects are captured in after the partitioners partition the channels into a plurality of sections.

Abstract: A method and gaming machine for generating display indicia in synchronization with an adjacent gaming machine is disclosed. The gaming machine includes a display, an emitter, and a sensor. The sensor detects a first signal from the adjacent machine. In response to the first signal or a game-related event in a game executed on the machine, the machine generates the display indicia on the display and emits a second signal from the emitter. The display indicia may vary depending upon whether it is generated in response to the first signal or in response to the game-related event. The second signal may be detected by yet another adjacent gaming machine which, in turn, generates the display indicia on its display.
