This invention relates generally to a game, and more particularly to an electronic
game that simulates trading securities on an exchange. The game of the present
invention is preferably played as a video gaming machine for gambling purposes.
A computing device is provided having, among other things, a video screen display
on which a line chart is displayed. The computing device also includes a selection
device, which provides a means by which the player interacts with the computing
device to "buy" or "sell". The line chart includes a vertical axis that corresponds
to the value or price of one or more securities, and a horizontal axis that corresponds
to time. A segmented line is plotted on the line chart during a round of play.
A random number generator randomly determines the vertical axis value for each
point plotted along the segmented line.
