Abstract: In contrast to slot-type gaming machines with their preset paylines designating predetermined array positions, the paylines of this novel wagering game are unknown until the indicia in the array have been selected. The indicia are selected from a variety of indicium types, each having a different number of members for identifying adjacent indicia. The randomly selected indicia determine the paylines, if any, in the array. Conditions may be imposed that limit the size and geometry of the paylines in this wagering game.

Abstract: A method and device is described for recording and storing handwritten telephone messages. The device comprises a box structure which houses a roll of duplicating recording paper having a top sheet and a continuous bottom sheet. The roll of paper is unrolled in the box structure and across a writing surface visible through the window area on a front cover plate attached over the front portion of the box structure. The user records the message on one of a plurality of message outlines on the top sheet in the window area. The leading edge of the bottom sheet is attached to a sleeve member also housed inside the box structure. A handle is attached to the sleeve member which is used to selectively rotate the sleeve member to collect the bottom sheet thereon forming a collection spool which may be removed from the box structure and stored in a convenient location.
