Benefits of technology

[0035]The orange color is associated in the mind of the player with the orange colored “K” symbol. The “K” symbol may be one of the important symbols of the game, as one defining an award. The player thus seeks to find an orange “K” in the game display 13. The orange color facilitates such seeking by the player, and stimulates the player through his or her eyes.

Problems solved by technology

Players who regularly play gaming machines can quickly lose interest in the particular games used.
Certain disadvantages have been present in many prior slot machines.
For example, limitations of prior gaming machines include an inability to captivate gamblers, poor lighting, lack of interchangeability or reconfiguration among components, and / or issues with reel movement.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]Referring to FIG. 1, a gaming device 11 is in the form of a video slot machine having a game display, generally indicated at 13, for presenting game content to the player. Display 13 may be formed from a video display device 14, as for example, a liquid crystal display (LCD), a cathode ray tube display (CRT), a plasma display, or other type of video display, and is controlled to display five (5) simulated spinning reels 15, 17, 19, 21 and 23. When the reels stop game symbols are displayed in the game display 13 in matrix-form.

[0023]It will be understood that instead of providing a video display unit which displays representations of reels, actual, electro-mechanical reels may be used. Such gaming machines including actual rotatable reels are commonly termed stepper machines. For example, in an alternative embodiment, the gaming device 11 may be implemented as an electromechanical reel-based slot machine having a content display area 13 with spinning stepper reels 15, 17, 19, 2...
