A preferred method includes displaying a plurality of indicia-bearing game pieces 12 on a gaming grid 14. A player then selects game pieces 12 that are adjacent and that have matching indicia 16. Preferably, the matching adjacent game pieces 34 that are selected are then removed from the gaming grid 14. One or more prizes are awarded in association with the selection and removal of the matching adjacent game pieces 34. Preferably, the player is also provided with the ability to shuffle any remaining non-selected game pieces 32, after all matching adjacent game pieces that are perceived by the player are selected and removed. In this regard, it is possible that the player may overlook some matching adjacent game pieces 34. Additionally, some preferred embodiment gaming methods incorporate the use of multiple indicia 16 on each game piece 12 for potentially matching with adjacent game pieces. Finally, awards can be awarded to a player based upon game speed and the number of shuffles required to clear the grid 14, amongst other criteria. Preferably, the method also includes activation of an interactive help feature 100 for the bonus game. The help feature 100 is continuously accessible, allowing access to the help feature during play of the bonus game so that a player unfamiliar with the bonus game may receive instructions on how to play the bonus game during play of an active bonus game.

Synthetic multi-string musical instruments have been developed for capturing and rendering musical performances on handheld or other portable devices in which a multi-touch sensitive display provides one of the input vectors for an expressive performance by a user or musician. Visual cues may be provided on the multi-touch sensitive display to guide the user in a performance based on a musical score. Alternatively, or in addition, uncued freestyle modes of operation may be provided. In either case, it is not the musical score that drives digital synthesis and audible rendering of the synthetic multi-string musical instrument. Rather, it is the stream of user gestures captured at least in part using the multi-touch sensitive display that drives the digital synthesis and audible rendering.

A game system using tokens allows a user to play a game on a mobile communication terminal at a location remote from a game hall. The game system includes a game hall (1) to lend tokens to a player so that the player may play game machines (3) installed in the game hall with the tokens, keep tokens deposited by the player after the play, and return the kept tokens to the player so that the player may play the game machines with the tokens, a management unit (7) provided for the game hall, connectable to the Internet and having a database (9) to store and update data on the kept tokens, a mobile communication terminal (13) connectable to the Internet to receive game content and allow the player to play a game on the mobile communication terminal, and a game content provider (11) to provide the game content to the Internet. Gains and losses of tokens of the player on playing the game on the mobile communication terminal are transmitted to the management unit, which updates the data on the kept tokens in the database accordingly.
