Abstract

A gaming machine for distribution of a prize includes a display cabinet which includes a prize display section having at least one transparent surface for allowing exterior viewing of a prize held therein. Access doors are provided on the prize display section, the access doors being releasably locked in a closed position by a locking device. A random number generator generates a random number which is compared an input number input by a user through an input device such as a keyboard. A comparison device outputs a first signal if the random number and input number are equal, and a second signal if the random number and input number are unequal. If the comparison device outputs a first signal, the locking device disengages, thus providing immediate access to a prize held within the prize display section. A method of gaming includes generating a random number, storing the random number in the comparison device, inputting an input number, storing the input number in the comparison device and comparing the random number and input number to one another. The locking device is released in response to a match of the random and input numbers.
