Method and apparatus of playing a game using the alphabetic letters

A gaming machine, comprising:

• a display,
• a data processor implementing a random number generator;
• a database storing libraries with a plurality of sets, each set comprising at least 26 letters of the alphabet, the letters including 21 consonants and 5 vowels;
• a user-operable trigger causing the data processor to randomly select and display in sequence one or more of the letters (L) to form an outcome;
• and
• wherein the data processor is programmed to apply a ranking system to the sequence upon activation of the trigger, the ranking system including the following operations:
• randomly selecting and displaying a permutation of one or more letters in sequence to form an outcome;
• comparing the outcome of the letters to all the possible outcomes of L letters that can be formed within seven categories, G to A, higher to lowest, representing combinations or permutations of letters listed and stored in seven libraries G (L) to A (L) as follows:
• category G:
• a unique pre-determined outcome of letters and/or participant's choice of an outcome from all possible outcomes listed in libraries G (L) to A (L);
• category F:
• outcomes of consonants only and which form an established word, as listed in library F (L);
• category E:
• outcomes of vowels only, as listed in library E (L);
• category D:
• outcomes of letters that form an established name, as listed in library D (L);
• category C:
• outcomes of letters including at least one vowel and which form an established word, as listed in library C (L);
• category B:
• outcomes of letters including at least one vowel, unlisted in library C (L), D (L) or E (L), as listed in library B (L);
• category A:
• outcomes of consonants only, unlisted in library D (L) or F (L), as listed in library A (L);
• and
• wherein the outcomes within each category A to G are re-ranked, lowest to highest, in accordance to the order of the alphabetic letters that form the outcomes.
