Abstract: Traditional video poker is modified by paying the player a first winning amount if a predesignated arrangement of cards are achieved by the player on the deal. After the first winning amount is paid if won by the player, the game continues with the player holding or discarding as desired from the initial deal and replacement cards are provided to the player to establish the player's final hand. The player is paid a second amount if the player achieves a winning combination on his final hand. Traditional video poker is alternatively modified by the addition of Four to a Royal Flush as a winning hand. A player receives a higher payout if he achieves Four to a Royal Flush on the initial deal of five cards. A player receives a lower payout if he achieves Four to a Royal Flush after he has drawn replacement cards. Another variation comprises first displaying to the player all fifty-two cards of a conventional deck of cards.

Abstract: The operation of a slot machine is modified by the addition of the step of allowing a player to increase his wager after the reels have begun spinning, and more particularly after at least one reel has stopped spinning and is showing a symbol in the pay line position. In the preferred embodiment, a three reel slot machine is provided and the player may increase the amount of his wager after the first two reels have stopped spinning. With two of the three symbols showing on the pay line, the player may then make an additional wager so that his potential payout for a winning combination is increased. The third reel is then stopped showing all three symbols on the pay line and winning combinations are then paid out based on the amount of the player's wagers.

Abstract: A change stroller has a vertically upright framework mounted on wheels and a laterally extending upper cross member on which a change belt is supported. The stroller wheels are positioned to provide a center of gravity that will compensate for the off center weight of the change belt when it is filled with coin rolls.
