Risk game
After getting a winning combination the Gamble button on a control panel lights up. Pressing it starts a risk game. This round begins with an appearance of the inverted pyramid divided into five horizontal bars. The lowermost starts to flicker. If a gambler hits the double button while it’s highlighted – his payoff will be doubled. Bonus round continues and the next bar starts flickering. If he fails to hit a bar in time then he loses his last payoff.
