Abstract

A method of playing a game of skill is provided which includes providing a display, providing several different insignia, and providing a group of several sets of insignia. Each set includes an equal number of insignia in a prearranged order. The group includes first and last sets and a plurality of sets arranged in a designated order on a virtual track. The first set abuts the last set thereby forming a continuous virtual track. The order remains constant. A player provides credits for a play and the display sequentially displays one set of the plurality of sets in the designated order on for a finite period of time. Each set is displayed in a matrix until the player requests the sets to stop the sequential displaying at a particular set. The player is awarded credits for stopping the sequential displaying on a set displaying a winning pattern of indicia.
