A coin-operated player operable entertainment machine has a main display
device, such as rotatable symbol-bearing reels, which selects a
combination of symbols at a win zone after a game-play stake has been
credited. Some symbols are bonus symbols which can initiate a bonus
feature if at predetermined win zone positions. The game-play stake can
be changed by the player to change options for attaining the bonus
feature. The arrangement may be such that an increase in stake value
results in an increase in the number of predetermined positions which
correspond to initiation of the bonus feature.
