Abstract: A gaming machine includes a basic game and a bonus game. The basic game is
controlled by a processor in response to a wager amount and includes a plurality of
different start-bonus outcomes. The bonus game is activated by the start-bonus
outcomes which cause the processor to shift operation from the basic game to the
bonus game. The bonus game is capable of providing a plurality of bonus payouts. In
accordance with one feature of the gaming machine, a probability of winning certain
ones of the bonus payouts varies in response to the different start-bonus outcomes that
activate the bonus game. In accordance with another feature of the gaming machine.
the bonus game includes a video-type display controlled by the processor and

Abstract: In a method for effecting protection of a digital communications system having N
communications units and K protection units, the protection units are initially set up by
storing in memory in the protection units the configuration data relating to the
communications units. Subsequently, when a fault occurs involving one of the
communications units, it is only necessary for one of the protection units to be supplied with
an indication of which communications unit is involved, upon which the protection unit
accesses in memory the configuration data associated with that unit and uses those data as its
own configuration data. By this means the protection unit assumes the role of the fault-related
communications unit with very little delay. Once the fault has been rectified, the protection
unit has its own configuration data restored and the fault-related communications unit is put
back into service. The method is envisaged as finding major use in an SDH communications
system employing a 1:N protection scheme.
