Abstract

An electronic gaming apparatus which preferably corresponds to and effectively electronically automates the game of chance known as 'Pull-Tab.' A primary strip of indicia in the form of a roll is provided in the apparatus and upon actuation of the apparatus, a segment of the strip is severed to provide a strip segment or ticket and is dispensed. If the indicia on the severed segment corresponds to a winning indicia, then the player would win the game. A duplicate copy of each severed segment of the primary strip is maintained on a duplicate strip and stored for purposes of later auditing. In addition, an electronic display is provided on the apparatus. The primary or duplicate strip of indicia contains a code corresponding to the indicia printed on each dispensed segment. This code is read as a segment of the strip is dispensed and simultaneously displayed on the screen.
