Definitions
- the invention relates to a gaming machine in the manner of a roulette with a roulette-like number kettle and betting keypad arranged on the front of the gaming machine, in which the player determines the amount of the game bet by inserting coins and subsequent key selection and then a microprocessor is determined by means of a random algorithm and the game result is determined and if a set number has been hit, the coin dispenser controls to eject the main prize.
- numbers from 0 to 12 can be set with one or more coins. Depending on the number field set and the choice of the player, an amount of up to twelve times the winning number can be played in the event of a win.
- Such gaming machines are known, for example, from US-A-4,321,673 and US-A-3,819,186.
- a maximum achievable profit multiplier of 12 gives the players only a small incentive to play, who are familiar with the possibility of achieving jackpot winnings from other gaming machines.
- Such a gaming machine is described, for example, in EP-A-0 281 402, in which three reels with symbols arranged behind a window are brought to a standstill at random in order to achieve a winning combination. A jackpot win can be achieved.
- This gaming machine does not allow the game to be played in accordance with the roulette rules.
- the object of the invention is to improve the aforementioned gaming device for playing games according to the roulette rules so that a jackpot-like biggest win can be achieved.
- the random number generator of the additional processor determines a profit multiplier for the maximum profit, which is many times larger than in known gaming machines.
- the factors of the random profit multiplier are e.g. B. staggered in the following grid: 10, 25, 50, 100, 1000 or 8, 12, 20, 100, 1000.
- the statistical mean value of payments actually made is also 12, which means that even when the additional random generator is used, it remains in the statistical mean with the profit multiplier of 12.
- the random number generator of the additional processor is designed so that in 85% of all game situations when hitting a set number, the random number generator only determines the lower profit multiplier.
- the player in this case will only receive ten times or eight times his bets and therefore less than with the known slot machines.
- the random generator of the additional processor in 15% of all game situations with a hit on a set number determines a higher profit multiplier such as 25, 50, 100, 1000 or 12, 10, 100, 1000. So with 15 bets on the number hit is a jackpot-like main prize of fifteen thousand bets possible. This significantly increases the incentive to play for the player.
- the additional processor as a 33-bit processor with a random number generator, it is practically impossible to determine the random combination that causes a jackpot due to the large number of approximately 4.2 billion base numbers. This provides the device operator with a high level of security against unauthorized persons from manipulating a jackpot.
- a risk switch can also be provided in addition or as an alternative.
- the player By pressing a risk button, the player can then e.g. gamble at risk for the jackpot and thus have the opportunity to achieve a kind of super jackpot.
- it is advantageous to display the status "jackpot" on the front face of the gaming machine so that the player has the opportunity to start the risk game for a short period of time.
- a roulette-like number pad 3 and a setting keypad 10 are formed on the front of the device housing 2 of the gaming machine 1.
- an attachment part 4 with a display field 5 for profit multipliers and a display field 6 for indicating that the gaming machine 1 is a roulette gaming machine.
- a flashing light 7 which flashes in the event of a malfunction of the gaming machine and in the event of a jackpot. This enables the supervisory staff to immediately recognize deviations from normal game operations or the occurrence of faults.
- the attachment part 4 can also be integrated into the actual device housing 2.
- a display field 8 for the profit display and a display field 9 for displaying the stake still available.
- Function keys 11, 12 and the coin slot 13 are located between the number kettle 3 and the setting keypad 10. Further function keys 14, 15, 16 and the coin ejection tray 17 are arranged under the setting keypad 10.
- the setting keypad 10 has keypads for the numbers 0 to 12 and keypads for the high numbers 7 to 12 and for the low numbers 1 to 6 and for only on the black or only on the red background Count on.
- the maximum use of coins in a game period is limited and can be, for example, 15 coins per field hit. If the number bet is hit, a hit is scored.
- the microprocessor of the control unit in the device housing controls an additional processor with a random generator, which determines the profit multiplier on the basis of the algorithm read. This can e.g. B. according to a graduation 10, 25, 50, 100, 1000 or 8, 12, 20, 100, 1000. If the profit multiplier 1000 is determined, a jackpot is achieved and the gaming machine 1 ejects the bet 1,000 times, in this example 15,000 coins.
Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Geldspielgerät nach Art eines Roulettes mit einem an der Frontseite des Geldspielgerätes angeordneten rouletteartigen Zahlenkessel und Setztastenfeld, bei dem der Spieler die Höhe des Spieleinsatzes durch Einwurf von Münzen und anschliessende Tastenwahl festlegt und dann ein Mikroprozessor mittels eines Zufallsalgorithmus das Spielergebnis ermittelt wird und, wenn eine gesetzte Zahl getroffen wurde, die Münzausgabeeinheit zum Auswerfen des Hauptgewinns ansteuert.The invention relates to a gaming machine in the manner of a roulette with a roulette-like number kettle and betting keypad arranged on the front of the gaming machine, in which the player determines the amount of the game bet by inserting coins and subsequent key selection and then a microprocessor is determined by means of a random algorithm and the game result is determined and if a set number has been hit, the coin dispenser controls to eject the main prize.
Bei bekannten gattungsgemäßen Geldspielgeräten können mit einer oder mehreren Münzen Zahlen von 0 bis 12 gesetzt werden. Je nach gesetztem Zahlenfeld und nach der Wahl des Spielers kann bei einem Gewinn ein Betrag von bis zum zwölffachen der Gewinnzahl ausgespielt werden. Derartige Geldspielgeräte sind z.B. durch die US-A-4 321 673 und die US-A-3 819 186 bekannt. Es hat sich jedoch gezeigt daß ein maximal erreichbarer Gewinnmultiplikator von 12 den Spielern nur einen geringen Spielanreiz gibt, die von anderen Geldspielgeräten die Möglichkeit zur Erzielung von Jackpot-Gewinnen kennen. Ein derartiges Geldspielgerät ist z.B. in der EP-A-0 281 402 beschrieben, bei dem drei hinter einem Fenster angeordnete Walzen mit Symbolen zufallsabhängig zum Stillstand gebracht werden, um eine Gewinnkombination zu erzielen. Es kann ein Jackpot-Gewinn erzielt werden. Dieses Geldspielgerät ermöglicht jedoch kein den Rouletteregeln entsprechendes Spiel.In known generic gaming machines, numbers from 0 to 12 can be set with one or more coins. Depending on the number field set and the choice of the player, an amount of up to twelve times the winning number can be played in the event of a win. Such gaming machines are known, for example, from US-A-4,321,673 and US-A-3,819,186. However, it has been shown that a maximum achievable profit multiplier of 12 gives the players only a small incentive to play, who are familiar with the possibility of achieving jackpot winnings from other gaming machines. Such a gaming machine is described, for example, in EP-A-0 281 402, in which three reels with symbols arranged behind a window are brought to a standstill at random in order to achieve a winning combination. A jackpot win can be achieved. This gaming machine, however, does not allow the game to be played in accordance with the roulette rules.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, das eingangs genannte Geldspielgerät zur Durchführung von Spielen nach den Rouletteregeln so zu verbessern, daß ein jackpotartiger Größtgewinn erzielt werden kann.The object of the invention is to improve the aforementioned gaming device for playing games according to the roulette rules so that a jackpot-like biggest win can be achieved.
Erfindungsgemäß erfolgt die Lösung der Aufgabe durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung werden in den abhängigen Ansprüchen beschrieben.According to the invention, the object is achieved by the characterizing features of
Nach der Erfindung ist es für den Spieler möglich, daß bei einem Treffer der gesetzten Zahl der Zufallsgenerator des zusätzlichen Prozessors einen Gewinnmultiplikator für den Höchstgewinn ermittelt, der um ein Vielfaches größer ist als bei bekannten Geldspielgeräten. Bei erfindungsgemäß ausgeführten Geldspielgeräten sind die Faktoren des zufallsabhängigen Gewinnmultiplikators z. B. in folgendem Rastern gestaffelt: 10, 25, 50, 100, 1000 bzw 8, 12, 20, 100, 1000. Der statistische Mittelwert tatsächlich erfolgter Auszahlungen beträgt ebenfalls 12, das heißt auch bei Einsatz des zusätzlichen Zufallsgenerators verbleibt es im statistischem Mittel bei dem Gewinnmultiplikator von 12. Der Zufallsgenerator des zusätzlichen Prozessors ist aber so ausgelegt, daß in 85% aller Spielsituationen beim Treffer auf einer gesetzten Zahl der Zufallsgenerator lediglich den unteren Gewinnmultiplikator ermittelt. Wenn 15 Einsätze auf eine Zahl gesetzt sind, erhält der Spieler in diesem Fall also lediglich das Zehnfache bzw. Achtfache seiner Einsätze und damit weniger als bei den bekannten Geldspielgeräten. Dagegen ermittelt der Zufallsgenerator des zusätzlichen Prozessors in 15% aller -Spielsituationen mit einem Treffer auf eine gesetzte Zahl einen höheren Gewinnmultiplikator wie z.B. 25, 50, 100, 1000 oder 12, 10, 100, 1000. Bei 15 Einsätzen auf die getroffene Zahl ist also ein jackpot-artiger Hauptgewinn von fünfzehntausend Einsätzen möglich. Hierdurch wird der Spielanreiz für den Spieler wesentlich erhöht. Durch Ausbildung des zusätzlichen Prozessors als 33 Bit-Prozessor mit Zufallsgenerator ist es aufgrund der großen Anzahl von ca. 4,2 Mrd. Basiszahlen praktisch nicht möglich, die einen Jackpot bewirkende Zufallskombination zu ermitteln. Hierdurch besteht für den Gerätebetreiber eine große Sicherheit dagegen, daß Unbefugte durch Manipulation einen Jackpot erzielen.According to the invention, it is possible for the player that when the set number is hit, the random number generator of the additional processor determines a profit multiplier for the maximum profit, which is many times larger than in known gaming machines. In the case of gaming machines designed according to the invention, the factors of the random profit multiplier are e.g. B. staggered in the following grid: 10, 25, 50, 100, 1000 or 8, 12, 20, 100, 1000. The statistical mean value of payments actually made is also 12, which means that even when the additional random generator is used, it remains in the statistical mean with the profit multiplier of 12. However, the random number generator of the additional processor is designed so that in 85% of all game situations when hitting a set number, the random number generator only determines the lower profit multiplier. If 15 bets are placed on a number, the player in this case will only receive ten times or eight times his bets and therefore less than with the known slot machines. In contrast, the random generator of the additional processor in 15% of all game situations with a hit on a set number determines a higher profit multiplier such as 25, 50, 100, 1000 or 12, 10, 100, 1000. So with 15 bets on the number hit is a jackpot-like main prize of fifteen thousand bets possible. This significantly increases the incentive to play for the player. By designing the additional processor as a 33-bit processor with a random number generator, it is practically impossible to determine the random combination that causes a jackpot due to the large number of approximately 4.2 billion base numbers. This provides the device operator with a high level of security against unauthorized persons from manipulating a jackpot.
Es kann auch ergänzend oder alternativ eine Risikoschaltung vorgesehen werden. Durch Betätigung einer Risikotaste kann der Spieler dann z.B. mit Risiko um den Jackpot spielen und hat dadurch die Möglichkeit, eine Art Super-Jackpot zu erzielen. In diesem Fall ist es vorteilhaft, an der Frontfläche des Geldspielgeräts den Status "Jackpot" anzuzeigen, damit der Spieler noch für einen kurzen Zeitraum Gelegenheit hat, das Risikospiel zu beginnen.A risk switch can also be provided in addition or as an alternative. By pressing a risk button, the player can then e.g. gamble at risk for the jackpot and thus have the opportunity to achieve a kind of super jackpot. In this case, it is advantageous to display the status "jackpot" on the front face of the gaming machine so that the player has the opportunity to start the risk game for a short period of time.
In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines erfindungsgemäßen Geldspielgeräts in einer perspektivischen Ansicht dargestellt, das nachstehend näher erläutert wird.In the drawing, an embodiment of a gaming machine according to the invention is shown in a perspective view, which is explained in more detail below.
An der Frontseite des Gerätegehäuses 2 des Geldspielgeräts 1 ist ein rouletteartiger Zahlenkessel 3 und ein Setztastenfeld 10 ausgebildet. Oberhalb des Zahlenkessels 3 befindet sich ein Aufsatzteil 4 mit einem Anzeigefeld 5 für Gewinnmultiplikatoren und ein Anzeigefeld 6 zur Anzeige, daß das Geldspielgerät 1 ein Roulette-Spielgerät ist. Auf der Oberseite des Aufsatzteils 4 befindet sich eine Blinkleuchte 7, die bei einer Störung des Geldspielgerätes und bei einem Jackpot blinkt. Hierdurch kann das Aufsichtspersonal sofort Abweichungen vom normalen Spielbetrieb oder das Auftreten von Störungen erkennen. Das Aufsatzteil 4 kann auch in das eigentliche Gerätegehäuse 2 integriert sein. Neben dem Zahlenkessel 3 befindet sich ein Anzeigefeld 8 für die Gewinnanzeige und ein Anzeigefeld 9 zur Anzeige des noch zur Verfügung stehenden Einsatzes. Zwischen dem Zahlenkessel 3 und dem Setztastenfeld 10 befinden sich Funktionstasten 11, 12 sowie der Münzeinwurfschlitz 13. Unter dem Setztastenfeld 10 sind weitere Funktionstasten 14, 15, 16 sowie die Münzauswurfschale 17 angeordnet.On the front of the device housing 2 of the
Das Setztastenfeld 10 weist Tastenfelder für die Zahlen 0 bis 12 sowie Tastenfelder für die hohen Zahlen 7 bis 12 und für die niedrigen Zahlen 1 bis 6 und für nur auf dem schwarzen oder nur auf dem roten Untergrund angeordnete Zahlen auf. Der maximale Einsatz von Münzen bei einer Spielperiode ist begrenzt und kann z.B. 15 Münzen je getroffenem Feld betragen. Wird die gesetzte Zahl getroffen, ist ein Treffer erzielt. In diesem Fall wird von dem Mikroprozessor der Steuereinheit in dem Gerätegehäuse ein zusätzlicher Prozessor mit einem Zufallsgenerator angesteuert, der aufgrund des eingelesenen Algorithmus den Gewinnmultiplikator ermittelt. Dieser kann z. B. nach einer Staffelung 10, 25, 50, 100, 1000 oder 8, 12, 20, 100, 1000 ausgelegt sein. Wird der Gewinnmultiplikator 1000 ermittelt, ist ein Jackpot erzielt und das Geldspielgerät 1 wirft 1000 mal den Einsatz aus, in diesem Beispiel 15000 Münzen.The
