1. A method for determining a game result on a coin-operated amusement machine.
2.1 amusement machines have to display profit symbols on a game device. The game device can be formed, for example, by folding card carousels. The innovation is intended to make the drawing procedure more attractive and, moreover, the draw process should produce a longer lasting playing tension.
2.2 This is accomplished by assigning to the winning symbol display means another display means which signals which winning symbol represented by the winning symbol displaying means is granted.
