Description
The present invention relates to a kind of method that the control debt flows in the game machine with electronics cash machine, more particularly is the method for controlling the amount of money of being returned by this electronics cash machine (cash device) on the game intelligence card.
Game machine also claims " slot machine ", particularly uses in authorized recreation ground usually.The main points of recreation principle are, use the coin pressure injection, and by shaking the running that operating rod starts the machine, this operating rod triggers the selection mechanism of a random operation.This selection mechanism makes it can control any return of bonus, and bonus might be with large amount.
Yet it is not very actual using coin, because use coin must handle a large amount of coins, total value is relatively low, has so just reduced the speed that the person of participating in makes a bet, and has also reduced the obtainable profit volume of the machine owner thus.In addition, slot machine also is used to dispose a large amount of counterfeit moneys by the fake producer.
In order to overcome these shortcomings, the applicant has invented a kind of equipment that is applicable to the common slot machine of charged sub-cash machine, its type is a smart card reader, for example use the game intelligence card of the general type of using on the bank debits machine (to see European Patent Application No. A-0,673,005, on the March 15 nineteen ninety-five applying date, denomination of invention is " game machine that band is regulated mechanical counter and electronics cash machine ").So the machine that is equipped with has mixed function.In fact it can use token (the certain value of money of each token representative) operation, also can use smart card operation.In addition, it also contains the content that the adjusting mechanical counter is controlled token in its hopper.Two other electronic counter that is arranged in electronics cash machine also calculates the sum of the bonus number that the credit number of making a bet with game card and same card obtain.
The title of these counters has the origin of big belly lattice Shandong Anglo-Saxon:
-" TOTAL IN " be (TI): mechanical counter, and its calculates the token of actual input and the sum of the credit that carries over,
-" TOTAL OUT " be (TO): mechanical counter, and its calculates the token of actual output and the sum of the credit that carries over,
-" CASH BOX " be (CB): mechanical counter, and its calculates and is instructed to the sum of the token that receives the storehouse,
-" JACKPOT " be (JK): mechanical counter, and its calculates the sum of what is called " JACKPOT " (first prize) bonus with large amount, and they are with the manual payment of form of evidence for payment (BP),
-" CANCEL CREDIT " be (CC): mechanical counter, and its calculates and returns the sum of the small amount bonus sum of the limit with the form payment of evidence for payment (BP) to surpassing slot machine,
-" GAME PLAYED (GP): mechanical counter, it calculates the sum of the recreation of having played,
-" TOTAL IN CARD " be (TIcard): electronic counter, and its calculates the sum of the credit of making a bet with the game intelligence card,
-" TOTAL OUT CARD " (TO card): electronic counter, it calculates the sum of returning that debts on the game intelligence card.
In France, counter " CANCEL CREDIT " is merged with " JACKPOT " becomes single counter " JACKPOT ".
In this equipment, the generation of the return of bonus in the electronics cash machine will be used slot machine to send to the signal of its hopper, and transmit these signals by relay, so that point out the quantity of the credit that will import in chip card to the cash machine.Have the people and can attempt to usurp debt by electronics cash machine, method is to send the signal that the unlimited debt that is worth is returned in simulation on the electronic link between machine and the cash machine.
In order to overcome this problem, the present invention is in providing the system of a kind of improvement to the protection of game machine, and it can calculate the amount of money of being returned and control these amount of money on game card.The objective of the invention is to improve the safe coefficient of aforesaid patented claim.For this reason, with the form of voucher (advance voucher) BA in advance, provide one to authorize and return limit to electronics cash machine, so that record and storage in electronics cash machine.Voucher BA is the result who fills this behavior of protected field of the electronics cash machine that has formed the electronics hopper in advance, more precisely, is the result in the filling behavior at described hopper place.
More particularly, the objective of the invention is the method for the amount of money that a kind of control returned by the electronics cash machine of game machine on the game intelligence card, be characterised in that, by different storage mediums, with the form of voucher in advance,, transfer in the electronics cash machine limited return amount of money.
According to another feature of the present invention, storage medium is realized by reloading smart card.
According to another feature of the present invention, be in the formation of voucher in advance record and storage in the protected field of electronics cash machine of electronics hopper.
According to another feature of the present invention, money will credit or when returning bonus, it requires electronic counter " VT CARD " is upgraded simultaneously when electronics cash machine will be failed, and this counter is intended to calculate the residue amount of money of the content that is in the electronics hopper.
According to another feature of the present invention, before returning bonus, electronics cash machine need calculate remaining amount of money renewal in the electronics hopper, whether surpasses this residue amount of money so that check the bonus of being repaid.
According to another feature of the present invention, storage medium makes it can shift the voucher in advance of different numerical value on the different electronics cash machines relevant with different game machines.
Another object of the present invention relates to a kind of game machine of charged sub-cash machine; be characterised in that; electronics cash facility have a protected district to realize the function of an electronics hopper; the voucher in advance that provides by different storage mediums is recorded therein and stores; money will credit or when returning bonus, electronic counter " BA CARD " will remain amount of money and be calculated as voucher in advance when electronics cash machine will be failed.
By reading explanation, will understand other characteristics of the present invention and advantage.This explanation is by carrying out in conjunction with exemplary, the nonrestrictive example at accompanying drawing 1.Fig. 1 represents the process flow diagram of amount of money in a kind of game machine of general type, the electronics cash facility that this game machine is equipped with have to the game intelligence card of cash office connection on the device controlled of the amount of money returned.
Schematically shown a most preferred embodiment of the present invention in the accompanying drawing 1.In order to simplify diagrammatic sketch, the mechanical part of the game machine that do not draw among the figure.
Game machine is represented by mark 10, and electronics cash machine is represented by mark 20.Cash machine 20 links to each other with game machine 10 by electronic link.The cash machine is a smartcard types, describes to some extent in the patented claim of preamble citation, and its merchandise marks number is GCV400.
Pay the bill in order to prevent that the fraudster from simulating on game card, the present invention takes measures, and introduces one and return limit in the cash machine, surpasses this limit and just no longer may pay the bill.For this reason, amount of money is preferably provided with the form of voucher BA in advance by the recreation ground office worker, record and storage in electronics cash machine 20 then.
These in advance voucher BA preferably transfer in the electronics cash machine 20 by different storage medium CR.This medium CR preferably generates in reloading smart card CR.This card CR is unique, and the office worker holds by recreation ground.
The type of terminal 30 is personal computers, and it is being managed these numbers and is fixing the BA of voucher in advance of (for example FRF10,000) and import them in reloading card CR.The number that is generated by this terminal is known, can be by computer control.
Voucher BA is preferably in the protected district of electronics cash machine and is recorded and stores in advance.This protected district can be arranged in the SAM (Secure Application Module) of cash machine 20.This zone for example is subjected to the protection of key.
When voucher BA was provided in advance, the electronic counter of placing in the protected district of cash machine 20 " BA card " just increased progressively a corresponding value.
The person of participating in is if play games, as long as the socket F that the game card CJ of its smartcard types is inserted cash machine 20 by pressing button on the cash machine, makes a bet with the certain amount of money that contains in the game card then.The cash machine comprises a microprocessor MP, and microprocessor is used for control and sends signal by electronic link to game machine, comes count-up counter " CREDIT " 11 so that use with the corresponding value of the volume of making a bet.
Microprocessor MP also controls electronic counter " TIcard " simultaneously and increases progressively one and be worth accordingly with the volume of making a bet.This counter " TIcard " is arranged in cash machine 20, and it calculates the total value that the person of participating in made a bet.
After in the counter " CREDIT " 11 certain amount of money having been arranged, the person of participating in just can start game machine.
This counter " CREDIT " calculates amount of bonus, does not so just need bonus is assigned among the game card CJ immediately.With regard to stake, this counter " CREDIT " is successively decreased with the corresponding value of the volume of making a bet by one.
When the person of participating in wished to play one innings again, just may the use tricks amount of money (words if not zero) that contains among the number device CREDIT or make a bet once more with the amount of money that contains among the game chip card CJ (words if not zero) of the person of participating in was played.Whenever open one innings, " recreation that finished " counter GP just increases progressively 1.
Just on game card CJ, return bonus, might be with two kinds of solutions, these two kinds of schemes all are usual for those skilled in the art.The main points of first kind of solution are to use " CASH OUT " button and " CANCELKEY " key that links to each other with game machine 10 by cash machine 20.
At this moment, a relay of closing is for example used in the action of cash machine 20 simulation " CANCEL KEY " keys.Game machine is reset to counter " CREDIT " 11 zero then, and increases progressively mechanical counter " CANCELCREDIT " with the many virtual token corresponding with the amount of money that is won.Being connected also between game machine and this counter " CANCEL CREDIT " links to each other with cash machine 20, the latter can be counted the pulse that arrives counter, and, use the credit corresponding that the game chip card CJ that contains in the cash machine 20 is reloaded with the bonus that is obtained according to this information.
The main points of second solution are, for example by relay, with the signal that is sent to its hopper under the usual manner by game machine 10, they are transferred to cash machine 20, so that point out the line of credit that will import in game intelligence card CJ to the cash machine.
In input bonus in game card CJ, the microprocessor MP of cash machine 20 requires to use the value corresponding with the number of repaying on card CJ to increase progressively electronic counter " TOcard ".This counter " TOcard " is advantageously located in the cash machine, calculates the total value that the cash machine is repaid on card CJ.
When bonus was restored on the game intelligence card CJ, counter " BAcard " was correspondingly successively decreased.So the protected district of cash machine has constituted an electronics hopper, its content " VTcard " can be controlled by conventional computing formula with the information from electronic counter.So this formula becomes:
Vtcard＝TIcard+BAcard-TOcard。
So the electronics hopper of setting up is totally independent of the conventional mechanical hopper in the game machine.Because this electronics hopper just may produce the all-electronic game machine of only using smart card operation.
In order to check the content of electronics hopper at any time, money credits cash machine 20 or when returning bonus, require to upgrade remaining number, refresh counter " VTcard " in other words in the electronics hopper will failing at every turn.
In the embodiment of distortion, cash machine 20 can carry out update calculation in advance before returning bonus on the game card CJ, whether surpassed the return limit of cash machine so that check the amount of money that will repay.So the cash machine just can assess whether can return prize-attached.If not so, it just enters holding state, perhaps sounds and/or picture intelligence is reminded the recreation ground office worker, so game machine is not in " hopper sky " mode owing to there is enough money to return bonus, and therefore reminds recreation ground.
In all cases, when reaching maximum return volume, when the electronics hopper is empty in other words, when perhaps the bonus that will return surpasses the residue limit, cash machine 20 just no longer can be returned bonus to the person of participating in, and sounds and/or picture intelligence and/or enter holding state.At this moment, the recreation ground office worker obtains reloading with voucher in advance the warning of the electronics hopper of cash machine.So the operator will reload the socket that card CR inserts the cash machine, the step that the cash machine is known by the one skilled in the art is checked and approved card CR, checks whether generated voucher BA in advance for it then.If like this, its electronics hopper is credited with corresponding amount of money.
In addition, the single card CR that reloads advantageously makes it the voucher in advance (BA) of some different values can be transferred to each and the related different electronics cash machines of certain game machine.For this reason, information is that in table, the given BA of voucher in advance is corresponding to the cash machine of each mark with the form storage of table reloading on the smart card CR.This solution is highly profitable, because it only makes that reloading card CR with one uses that some even all game machines become possibility in the same recreation ground.
When cash machine 20 will be failed money and credit, counter " VTcard " was increased progressively by a corresponding value.Therefore the amount of money that contains in the electronics hopper situation greater than the return limit that provides with the form of voucher BA in advance will take place.This preferably takes out unnecessary debt by the smart card that is called the unloading card with regard to having explained why the office worker for example beats when pretending at recreation ground, so that it is repaid by in the recreation ground reception storehouse of computing machine by terminal 30 management.
According to variant embodiment, also may imagine another electronic counter " CB card " is set in electronics cash machine, so that calculate the total value that is directed to the receiving record storehouse.This is because this amount of money that just might contain in the electronics hopper greater than with the amount of money of the form introducing of voucher BA in advance the time, uses the value corresponding with the part that exceeds the quata to come count-up counter " CB card ".Representative receives the storehouse so this exceeds the quata.Repay limit like this number that provides with the form of voucher in advance by the recreation ground office worker is provided at most.At this moment, the formula of the content of calculating electronics hopper just becomes: VT card=TIcard+BAcard-TOcard-CBcard.
