Abstract
A gaming machine display, apparatus and method in which a simulation of minting coins is provided on a video monitor of a gaming machine coupled to a processor which simulates a plurality of balls extending down a trackway, a simulated minting machine on the display oriented to receive the balls and simulated coins exiting the machine as a function of player performance. The player performance, should it reach a grand prize level causes the minting station to break via simulation and the appearance of a caricature announces that an attendant will come by for resetting the machine for hand payout.
