Abstract
A device and method for displaying a final gaming result, in one embodiment, displays on a video monitor the winning results in a complete manner and all non-winning results in a faded manner. In an alternate embodiment, when a game produces winning results, only the winning results of the game are displayed. Specifically, a video game device has a processor, a video monitor with display screen, and a memory for storing a bit map of the screen. Non-winning results in one embodiment are not displayed or are replaced with a background display. In another embodiment, non-winning results are displayed in a faded manner by substituting selected pixels of a collection of pixels defining an non-winning indicia to be displayed with a background or neutral display. The desired results are achieved by storing data indicative of the desired display in address locations corresponding to pixels on the screen.
