Abstract
A gaming machine provides for random winning payouts for game plays. The gaming machine includes a game score module and a visual indicator. The game score module tracks previous game play results including all winning and losing game play results, and determines from the previous game play results the degree in which the gaming machine is currently playing hot. The visual indicator is on the gaming machine or physically mounted to the gaming machine and indicates the degree in which the gaming machine is currently playing hot. The visual indicator may be a thermometer-type gauge.
