Abstract
A gaming machine preferably operated by coins possesses features located on moving carrier means preferably provided with their own drives, the relative position of which features to each other decides at the standstill of the carrier means at the end of a game on win or loss. To allow a player to cash in winning after each step of the game or, however, to risk the stakes or winnings in following steps of the game, each carrier means is moved individually one after the other for a certain time determined by chance or by hand. After each movement a win is obtained if the features are located in a predetermined position at the standstill of the carrier means.
