The player of the machine is thereby made aware that a malfunction has occured. In one embodiment, an error indication is given if a predetermined value, such as a maximum jackpot award, is exceeded. In another embodiment repeated machine signals are monitored and an indication is given if there is a departure from a norm indicating a machine crash or other malfunction.
