  • Patent number: 8246047
    Abstract: A display for a game is provided with a display portion that provides indication of a plurality of movable symbols that are necessary for playing the game, and which are moved in a determined direction. A special kind of symbol, among the plurality of symbols, is associated with a predetermined game condition, such as a win or a loss, and is displayed in the display portion two or more identical symbols being caused to appear serially on the display portion. When two or more such identical symbols appear in sequence, even if the symbols are moved at a fairly high rate of speed, the player can distinguish such repetition of a symbol in the sequence, and thereby identify the special symbol. With knowledge of the identity of the special symbol, the player can relatively easily execute a stop motion operation with good timing.
