Abstract

A game device, preferably hand-held, has an electronic display pattern generator (21), a display (5, 9, 29, fig. 3), a play button (2) to initiate generation of a game which displays sets of symbols which ''rotate'' after the manner of a fruit machine and which can be held from ''rotating'' by means of a hold button (3), and means (26) for limiting the number of games playable. A lock button (4) allows a winning display to be locked irrevocably to establish proof of a win.
