Abstract: A method and device are revealed for scanning a radiation-sensitive layer (2) of a rotating carrier (4) with a constant linear velocity by means of a radiation beam (5) which is directed towards the carrier (4) by an optical system (6) which is radially movable relative to the carrier (4). A velocity-pulse generator (10) generates clock pulses (Ps) of a frequency (fs) proportional to the angular velocity of the carrier (4). A clock generator (25) generates clock pulses (Pk) of constant frequency (fk). In response to every clock pulse (Pk) a sum value (Sw) is corrected by a first correction value (DEC). In response to every velocity pulse (Ps) the sum value is corrected by a second correction value (INC) having a sign opposite to that of the first correction value. The angular velocity (W) of the record carrier is controlled to a value for which the average of the sum value (Sw) remains constant. The ratio between the second (INC) and first correction value (DEC) is maintained at a value which is proportional to the distance (Xr) between the point of incidence of the radiation beam (5) on the carrier and the centre of rotation. Thus, scanning is effected with a constant linear scanning velocity.

Abstract: A slot machine having a plurality of symbol rows each having a plurality of symbols disposed at equal pitch pays out a predetermined number of coins when the symbol rows under movement stop and a symbol combination on a prize-winning line becomes coincident with a hit game symbol combination. The slot machine includes a lost game determining unit (20, 42, 43), a symbol determining unit (43, 44, 45) and a symbol row stop position control unit (28, 29, 30). The lost game determining unit (20, 42, 43) determines if a present game is to be set as a lost game or a hit game. The symbol determining unit (43, 44, 45) responds to a present lost game and determines symbols of the respective symbol rows so as to obtain a highest probability of occurrence of a symbol combination nearest to a hit game symbol combination. The symbol row stop position control unit (28, 29, 30) controls the respective symbol rows such that the symbols determined by the symbol determining unit (43, 44, 45) stop on the prize-winning line.
