Description

Recreational machine with device simultaneous game integrator.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a machine recreational type commonly known as "Slot machine" which are those in which in exchange for the price of the game, grant the user a period of use or play, and eventually, according to the game program, a cash prize.

The object of the invention is to integrate into a single machine body, two, three, or more games, giving the possibility to player can choose at the beginning of each play, the number of games you want to perform simultaneously and the amount of what bet on each one; said projection machine being provided of images, commonly known as rollers, grouped and differentiated for each game, as well as payment methods for plays and collection of prizes, these elements, common to all games.

Background of the invention

This type is known in the state of the art of machines on which, after inserting the amount of the game, the player is required to drive a mechanism for the start of the game, although, after a brief time without the player having operated said mechanism start the game automatically; game normally characterized by the controlled rotation of a grouping (usually three or four) of drums, rollers or any other type of mechanism similar, bearers of signs or figures in their peripheral bands, and that, located on battery and in view of the player, will conform in their alignment, once they have stopped, a combination of signs or figures that will be the result of the play.

Said combination may be a winner or loser, according to the values specified in a table default and known as the Earnings Plan, so if the The resulting combination is one of the winning combinations, the machine proceeds to pay the amount of said gain or to the retention of that gain in the form of credits for later game according to the will of the player.

These machines in their most basic version can be formed by an indeterminate number of rollers; drums; ribbons; Viewers; or, video screen with the representation virtual of any type of mechanism of the above mentioned, mechanical or electronic capable of offering an exchange of images that can be viewed by a player on the front of one machine, although usually there are usually three rollers basic participants in the games to be developed.

Subsequently, various variants in the game of this type of machines, as was the possibility that, obtaining certain combinations, these will give access to a secondary or auxiliary game where you can Increase the amount of the prizes. These auxiliary games were very diverse since they could go from the simplest that consisted of vary a non-winning combination, allowing through a additional operation, replace the figure of one or more of the rollers for other figures and repeat the operation several times to increase the chances of finally getting a combination awarded; another variation was to bet the value of a prize already obtained, for the option to a new draw in a secondary game similar to the main game but formed by a series of rollers with different figures and whose award-winning combinations they were substantially more valuable than those of the rollers of the main play

These machines, equipped with main games and secondary, they had as common characteristic the fact that the player could only play in one of these games, that is, in the main game or in the secondary game, having no chance of playing in both simultaneously.

On the other hand, common practice is known in Recreational machine users, to use multiple machines at the same time, so that they can play several games of simultaneously, even with the discomfort of having to be moving from one machine to another for use.

This game mode is basically used in game rooms where the number of machines present and the proximity between them is very high and therefore usually occurs case of players monopolizing two, three or more machines, playing in all of them at once and producing conflicts with others players who want to use these machines equally.

Description of the invention

The invention consists of a recreational machine with payment means in the form of admission mechanisms for insertion of bills, coins, or tokens; means of payment of prizes tray-shaped with player access and coin container precedents of the paying mechanism located inside the machine; and for the development of the game a certain number of rotating roller groupings; preferably four groups of rollers and three rollers per group; each group of three rollers it will form a combination line, being the purpose of the invention that each combination line form a game independent, so that when entering coins, bills or chips to cover the amount of the desired moves to carry out, and with the previous activation of the mechanism of putting in march, start turning the rollers until their final stop, simultaneously or gradually.

These rollers are visible frontally and at through transparent windows that allow viewing less a figure of each roller that forms each prize line; also having a plurality of switch buttons per means of which the player regulates the operation of the machine.

It is the purpose of the invention, that the game developed by each of the individual games be independent and that the machine's profit plan be unique and common for all games, paying the machine prizes according get winning combinations in one or more of the games included in it.

The recreational machine that advocates this invention solves in a fully satisfactory way the problem set forth in the background of the invention, of way you have a machine that allows the user to play in the same game, several equal games, with variable results in each and simultaneously on the same machine, since the machine has several roller assemblies for this purpose visible through windows, with the particularity that the user can decide in what quantities and in which set of rollers you want to play the credits or the money available in that moment.

It is considered irrelevant for the development of the present invention the means used for the visualization of the game, because for the exhibition of signs or figures in the front of the machine and in view of the player, can be used mechanical rollers or drums, tape visors, visors liquid crystal electronics, video screens, etc. that have as common denominator the ability to show sequentially a line of figures or signs that will be the result of the different combinations to be given during the development of the plays, without affecting the object of the invention decisively. For all this and to do shorter the interpretation of the document at hand, from from this moment, the description will be made by citation of these elements as "rollers", without giving up this term to any of the possible ways described above and with which an identical or similar visualization is offered.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of this description, a single sheet of plans where illustrative and not limiting, it has been represented, according to a perspective view, a recreational machine made of according to the object of the present invention.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the review figure can be observed as the machine that the invention proposes is constituted from of a body or shell (1), which can take any size and configuration deemed convenient, such as with the upper and complementary head (2) that appears in said figure and that, according to the practical example chosen, incorporates a profit plan (3), common for all four games provided in the machine, as well as a numerator element (4) where the sum of the partial or total plenary is reflected as a result of the moves made.

Each of the four games provided in the machine incorporates its corresponding roller grouping (5-5'-5 '' - 5 '' ') that they can be real or, as in the present case, appear represented on a video screen (6), generator of the images for the development of the different games, to which access through a selector (7) of coins, bills or tokens, which is also unique for the different machine games.
