  • Patent number: 6705614
    Abstract: Slots is a game in a box and is a multi-player manual slot game designed to simulate mechanical and computerized casino slot machines and computerized slot games. This game uses game tiles, chips, pay tables, and interchangeable sets of game tiles to enhance variety, vary the odds, add bonuses, and incorporate current trends. Players draw tiles face down from a pool and place them in a matrix on a tray which forms pay lines according to the game rules. The object is to match tiles along the predetermined pay lines on the pay table. The bank pays winning pay lines; the bank collects losing wagers. Allowing the players to select tile placement in predetermined rows and columns of the matrix enhances odds of winning and maintains interest. Odds of losing are controlled by placement-as-drawn in the final column or columns.
