Abstract
An entertainment machine which has a supplementary game playing
display region 15 with a trail 17 and a number of award zones 22-26
associated with the trail.
Play is transferred from the trail to the award zones 22-26 by a zone
selector which may be a player operable push-button 27 or alternatively
there may be automatic zone selection. Alternatively the prize zones may
be player operable by a plurality of push buttons, which may or may not be
linked to individually selectable prize zones.
The player can operate the button 27 to obtain awards from the
zones, or continue to play by transferring from zone to zone to try to obtain
greater awards.
