A video game cabinet has an identical configuration on opposite sides. That is, each side has a video monitor display for displaying the contents of a game and an operation panel for entering player instructions for operating the game. Each side also has a speaker for generating effect sounds for the game play as well as a coin slot. Each side has a second display for showing a winner indication that is displayed when the player has continuously won the game, a third display for displaying the current number of wins, and a fourth display for maintaining/updating and displaying the maximum number of wins over a specified time period.
