摘要:
An apparatus for directly determining an outcome of a game which identifies this outcome by displaying a series of indicia that correspond to the outcome. The apparatus includes a random number generator which generates a random number from a predetermined set thereof. The random number is scaled to obtain an outcome identifier from a set of outcome identifiers. The set of outcome identifiers are divided into a plurality of subsets, with each subset corresponding to one win/loss tier. The outcome identifier is evaluated to determine which of the outcomes it corresponds to by identifying the subset, into which it falls. Once the outcome is identified, a corresponding win/loss tier is identified. Each win/loss tier is associated with a unique reel combination table, each of which includes at least one series of indicia to be displayed as a reel combination corresponding to the chosen outcome. Once the win/loss tier is identified, the random number is again scaled to obtain an index into the corresponding reel combination table. The table is accessed and the indexed series of indicia are displayed.

A fiber cleaving device comprising a clamp assembly, central moveable stage, right moveable stage, and diamond component. The diamond component comprises a diamond and a diamond oscillator. The clamp assembly secures a piece of bare glass fiber so that it is oriented roughly perpendicularly to the cutting edge of the diamond. The central moveable stage moves the diamond oscillator forward so that the cutting edge of the diamond comes into contact with the piece of bare glass fiber. The right moveable stage pulls the piece of bare glass fiber taught after it has been secured by the clamp assembly. The diamond oscillator is configured so that the diamond cleaves the piece of bare glass fiber at an effective cutting angle of approximately forty-five degrees or, alternately, in the range of thirty to sixty degrees.

An electronic gaming device is provided that has a cabinet. Within the cabinet is mounted an electronic display device. A deck is pivotally mounted to the cabinet. The deck has an opening therein which is located generally above the display device. A touchscreen is sealingly mounted to the deck within the opening so that the touchscreen is located generally above the display device. The deck may be pivoted away from the cabinet while the touchscreen is sealingly mounted within the deck. This allows the seal between the touchscreen and the deck to be preserved while the deck is pivoted away from the cabinet.
