Abstract

The table (1) has a gambling surface (5) with partitions and/or labels (2) for a gambling field (3) for placing a gambling token (4) or jeton, where the partitions and/or the labels are arranged and/or integrated on, in or under the surface of the table in a permanent manner. The token or the jeton is directly laid on the surface that is made of a hard and/or wear-resistant material, and slots for the labels are milled into the surface. The slots are filled with a material whose color is different from the color of the material of the surface. An independent claim is also included for a gambling label for use with a gambling table.

Description

The The invention relates to a game table for games of chance, in particular one Game table for American Roulette, blackjack or the like according to the preamble of the claim and a game mark according to the preamble of claim 36.

table games for gambling show depending on from the gambling game to play different markings and labels on, where about for the widespread and common played roulette games symbols and boxes for placing the chips or chips in the form of a so-called Roulettetableaus must be present. Depending on the type of roulette game, whether French roulette or American Roulette, are combined with 37 or 38 fields and additional setting fields Number ranges and colors needed. Other games, such as blackjack, are in turn other fields and to provide inscriptions.

The Fields are usually applied to fabrics of cloth-like materials and with the fabric is stretched on a table or a plate, wherein the game table usually from a simple hard material such as wood or the like exists and carries no marks itself. Such a construction of gaming tables for gambling has the disadvantage that the fabric with the arranged thereon Fields that are usually either colored on the stringing applied or can be embroidered in the fabric, against contamination and damage such as cigarette burns or overturned drinks or the like is very sensitive. So have to These fabrics, also independent from the normal wear and tear, for example, by constantly moving tokens on the clothing, usually several times be replaced in the year, for example, focal spots or To eliminate soiling that does not otherwise come from the Covering are herauszubekommen. This replacement of the clothing has the disadvantage that on the one hand, the cost of replacement the clothing accumulates several times a year, on the other hand corresponding Labor and thus costs are incurred and beyond the game table for the time of the new voltage can not be recorded. thats why the use of fabrics made of cloth-like materials for gaming tables for gambling neither durable nor inexpensive.

task Therefore, it is the object of the present invention to provide a game table for gambling develop in such a way that an exchange of clothing not is more necessary and therefore in addition to increasing the life of the table the constantly incurred costs for new clothing or the like can be omitted, at the same time the optical design of the game table and the game performance compared to known Constructions of gaming tables should be improved.

The solution the task of the invention with regard to the table results from the characterizing Features of claim 1 in cooperation with the features of associated Generic term and in terms of the chip from the characterizing Features of claim 36 in cooperation with the features of the associated Preamble. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention emerge from the dependent claims.

The Invention according to claim 1 is based on a generic game table for gambling, in particular a game table for American Roulette, Blackjack or the like, having a playing surface with Subdivisions and / or labels for playing fields or the like. In particular for placing tokens, tokens or the like .. Such a generic game table is developed in an inventive way, by at least the surface of the Game table made of a hard and / or durable material is formed on the chips, chips or the like. Placed directly are, with the subdivisions and / or labels for playing fields or the like forming markings on, in or under the surface of Game table permanently arranged and / or integrated. By the Use of a gaming table with a hard and / or durable surface is the risk of damage the surface or no longer eliminable pollutions of this surface essential reduces, while maintaining the durability of the markings across from due to wear the normal game operation is also significantly improved. Because of the surface hard and / or hard-wearing is formed and the markers on, in or under the surface permanently arranged and / or integrated, form the surface of the Game table and the markers a unit whose life much longer than when using gaming tables with conventional clothing. This will continue in an advantageous embodiment improves that the material of the surface of the play table from a Abriebarmen material is formed. The use of special abrasives Materials can be used to extend the life of the game table and in particular the markings in addition to improve Arrangement of markings on the top or in the area of the top the game table, for example by moving chips or the like constantly are subject to abrasion and therefore subject to a certain wear.

From significant advantage over the use of game tables with fabrics such as textile It is materials that in an inventive embodiment of the surface of the table this surface by punctual or areal Sanding or the like. Surface treatments can be repaired or refreshed without the markings be affected thereby. For example, the hard surface of the table after a certain playing time, which is low even on a hard surface, although under certain circumstances visible or disturbing impairments the surface or markings, such as a fine one Emery or a corresponding polish or polishing material be treated so that the impairments removed and the surface the game table is quasi redesigned. This is but one constantly visually flawless and durable design of the surface of the Play table accessible without removing parts of the surface of the Game table must be exchanged or elaborate and lengthy processing of the game table will be required. For example, it is also possible the surface the game table in the manner described above only partially to re-treat in areas where, for example, soiling or other impairments appeared. As a result, the maintenance of game tables according to the invention is clear reduced.

In a first advantageous embodiment, it is conceivable that the hard and / or hard-wearing Material of the surface of the gaming table made of a surface-hardened plastic material, preferably formed of Plexiglas. Plexiglas is a transparent one and optically very attractively designed plastic material, which at the same time has a relatively high hardness and is easy to edit and sometimes surface treatment in the form of Grinding or the like operations. Through the transparent Design of Plexiglas or other plastic materials is it also possible the surface of the game table multi-layered build and, for example, the markings not on the top of the table, but also in deeper bring in layers lying. Of course it is also possible to Place of plexiglass as a transparent material glass or other transparent materials for the production of the surface to use the game table.

In Another embodiment, it is also conceivable that the hard and / or durable material the surface of the gaming table made of a surface-hard artificial stone material, preferably a plastic-bound mineral material such as Corian is formed. Mineral materials such as corian are for example from the sanitary area or the kitchen area known and are there for the production of sanitary objects such as Sink or the like used. These are also materials very good workability and form with their surface hard and yet visually attractive designs.

Farther It is also conceivable that the hard and / or durable material the surface of the Game table made of a hard surface Wood material, in particular material made of wood layers is formed. Such wood materials can for example, also in several layers, for example in the form of multilayer boards or the like, in which the uppermost layer as surface the gaming table particularly hard and / or hard-wearing or Abriebarm can be configured. By appropriate selection The individual layers of wood can also warp or impact from moisture to the surface be largely determined.

Furthermore It is also conceivable that the hard and / or durable material the surface of the table from a surface hard laminated or pressed material is formed. Such materials usually become formed from multilayer composite materials or the like, which are pressed together, for example, under the influence of heat and can be made particularly hard and abrasion resistant. Appropriate Materials are for example for the production of loading areas for trucks or the like.

From particular advantage for the visual and technical design of the gaming table is if the hard and / or durable material of the surface of the Game table at least partially transparent or translucent is trained. Such a transparent or translucent surface offers on the one hand a valuable optical design of the table, on the other hand, the arrangement of the markings in transparent or translucent surfaces also be done so that the markings are not on the top surface of the Game table is the wear due to the normal game operation directly subject, but deepened below this top surface of the Gambling table to be attached.

A further improvement of the optical effect of such a transparent or translucent surface of the table can be achieved if the surface of the table is formed frosted. For example, when using Plexiglas or other transparent materials, the matt surface creates a uniform appearance of the material, which in addition op table visible contamination such as fingerprints and the like is much less sensitive.

Farther It is also conceivable that the surface of the table is colored is configurable. Thus, for example, a transparent or translucent surface of the table, possibly also in addition to a matting dyed in color and thus, for example, in the vicinity of the game table or due to demands of the operator of the gaming table to be fulfilled color designs guarantee.

A advantageous first embodiment with regard to the color design the game table and the arrangement of the markings can be seen therein when the material of the surface of the table is transparent or translucent and below by the surface of the table translucent materials or layers are arranged. The surface the game table forms a wear-resistant and hard playing surface, under the materials and thus not the normal game operation arranged accessible are that for the color scheme of the table and / or the attachment the markings of the table can be used. Here is It is also possible that the translucent through the surface of the table Materials or layers as a cloth-like material in the sense known Coverings of game tables is formed. This will ensure that the cloth-like material itself is no longer subject to normal wear and tear the game operation and the unpredictable pollution is subject and therefore a much longer one Lifespan as usual reached freely lying clothing.

It is also conceivable that the material of the surface of Gaming table is partially or completely dyed through, wherein in a further embodiment, the material of the surface of the Playtable area also different color designs can have. This can be due to different color Design of partial surfaces of the surface the game table, the arrangement of the necessary markers for the game even without subsequent markings the surface the game table or arranged on the surface of the game table Need to become.

In In another embodiment, it is also conceivable that the markings in or on the surface recessed in the game table in the surface of the table are. You can do this In a further embodiment, the recesses for the Mar kierungen in the surface of the Game table incorporated, in particular milled and with a relative to Material of the surface the game table differently colored material be filled and preferably flush with the surface complete the table. By the appropriate dimensioning of the recess for the recording the markers can do that be taken care that even with more frequent Post-processing of the surface the game table the markers always enough material of the markings available to make even after finishing the surface of the Game table to make the markings completely visible. So can the depressions, for example, several millimeters deep into the surface of the Milled gaming table or be embedded, so that post-processing of the surface, for example by grinding, the material only in the hundredth of a millimeter range removed, even after many hundreds of edits not to one impair the markers leads. From It is an advantage here if the different colors filling the recesses Material of the markings one of the surface of the game table same or near hardness has, since then both the surface of the game table and the surface of the Wears marks evenly.

In Another embodiment of the game table, it is also conceivable that the surface of the game table from a thinner, transparent or translucent cover plate is formed, the is applied to a preferably thicker carrier plate. Such a multi-layered construction of the game table allows a free variation of both the material properties of the two layers as well as their material thickness, so that the gaming table both visually and in terms of wear and the loads can be adapted to any requirements. Of particular advantage here is when the carrier plate as the cover plate formed transparent or translucent be since then visually imperceptible a two-layered structure of the Game table is present, the advantages described in terms the attachment of the markings allowed.

It is hereby conceivable that the markings of the game table are applied to the top of the support plate or the underside of the transparent or translucent cover plate and are not directly accessible when playing the game table. Thus, the markings themselves are subject to no wear and therefore can not be affected for example by burn marks or other contamination. In this case, in a further embodiment, the markings applied to the upper side of the carrier plate or the underside of the transparent or translucent cover plate can be applied by means of coating methods. Such coating methods can on the one hand printing method, esp special also screen printing method, which allow inexpensive and high quality any optical designs of the coated surface. It is also conceivable that the application of preferably self-adhesive films is used with the markers as a coating method, such films can be configured monochrome or multi-colored and thus all markings of the table can be applied with only one slide at the same time. Of course, it is also conceivable that the application of markings by means of painting techniques is used as a coating method, for example by means of airbrush technology or even masked paint.

From advantage for the durability and manageability of the game table is when the transparent or translucent cover plate and the support plate after coating with the markings, can be fixed permanently to one another, are preferably glued together. This forms the cover plate and the carrier plate and the optionally interposed layers or markers a compact unit that is managed together and between which spilled, for example liquids no longer occur and, for example, those between the layers affect attached markings can.

It is in another embodiment also conceivable that the transparent or translucent cover plate and the carrier plate after coating with the markings or the interposition of colored materials or layers by a holding device, preferably a boundary of the Game table on top of each other are arranged arranged. Usually become conventional Game table covers mounted around a support plate around and inserted in a frame-like boundary of the table, so that the game table is on the one hand kept safe and on the other hand a moving of the game table is impossible. Similarly could also the plates according to the invention one above the other be held, whereby, if necessary, the cover plate still easy removed from the carrier plate can be about extra markers or other information between cover plate and carrier plate to be able to order.

Farther It is conceivable, in addition to in the manner described above the markings of the field labels or the like. For advertising purposes in, on or on the gaming table. So could about the logo or the name of the gaming table operator or else e.g. advertising information Third just in for attached to the player visible area of the table and possibly also easily exchanged and updated.

A Further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that in or under the transparent or translucent cover plate or the carrier plate in at least some of the regions separated by the markings the gaming table lighting devices are provided which, preferably in dependence from the gameplay, at least some of the markers Illuminate separated areas of the game table visible. such Lighting devices can on the one hand can be used to certain areas of the game table or visually highlight the markings and possibly such Emphasis also dependent from the game play. Such lighting devices, the advantageous as in the game table integrated lamps, LEDs or other substantially punctiform bulbs may be formed can, then serve primarily to the game table and possibly the gameplay for the Make the player visually appealing or even additional To give information or play incentives. It is an advantage if the lighting devices bundling their lighting effect have such that the game table essentially only in the Area to the location of the lighting devices related Marks is illuminated. This is a targeted lighting only individual parts of the markings possible, independent of adjacent parts of the markings can be illuminated. So For example, in a roulette game that of the in the boiler revolving ball ultimately achieved number on the gaming table optically showy be signaled that the corresponding field of the table in the manner described above, mainly from below and about perpendicular to the table surface is lit up and thus the missions that lie in this field, be highlighted. Such a switch on the lighting this field can manually by the game master or possibly also automatically according to the information by a recognition system which determines the number dropped on the boiler and to a Control electronics for the lighting equipment of the game table further reports. In order to let yourself the visual representation of the course of the game or the result of the game improve significantly.

The invention further relates to a gambling game mark according to claim 36, in particular for use with a game table according to claim 1. Such a gambling mark is further developed by the mark having at least partially transparent or translucent areas illuminated from below the supporting surface of the gambling mark Areas of the gaming table in the direction of the gambling brand incident light can be illuminated. This can in particular in cooperation with the lighting devices of the game table according to the invention a further improvement of the visual perceptibility of a game result can be achieved by the lighting devices such as a field whose associated number has been determined as a result, turned on and thus the lying on top, usually arranged in stacks chips illuminated from below. If the transparent or translucent areas of the chips essentially overlap one another in the stack and are illuminated from below, the light is passed on through the chips to the top of the stack and exits from the uppermost chip on the top side. As a result, the light of the lighting devices is also clearly visible on the top side of the stack, which has passed through the stack of chips and thus marked visually appealing and with a high recognition value the stack on the winning field. This makes it easier for the game master and the players to orientate themselves on the gaming table and marks the prize visually immediately.

A further embodiment of the chip can be achieved by that the transparent or translucent areas of the game so are arranged on the chip that incident from below the support surface Light enters the chip and at least parts of the peripheral area the mark at least partially resigns. This can emerging from the lighting facilities of the game table and light entering single or stack of tokens not only emerge on the top of the chips, but also on the periphery be perceived visually. This additionally improves the already above for the Upper light output described function of the lighting devices and the mark, since now also parts or the entire peripheral surface optically can be noticeably illuminated. For this purpose, in a further embodiment in the chip at least one preferably disc-shaped transparent or translucent layer or single substantially radial Elements are embedded, preferably by scattering from below the bearing surface the gambling brand incident light at least partially in the direction to redirect to the peripheral area of the chip. By scattering or Diffraction can be despite the example vertical radiation direction The lighting equipment of the game table also the scope of Tokens are illuminated, which continues to be about the disc-shaped transparent or translucent layer or the individual substantially radial Elements extend into the peripheral area of the chip and there at least partially visible. So, for example also generates corresponding patterns on the perimeter of the chips be by placing the radial elements in the area of the outlet be arranged according to the scope of the chips.

Farther It is conceivable that the translucent or translucent areas the mark depending on the value or meaning of the mark different color are designed. This can be about for the game master Also be better seen, which profit level was achieved when the Stack with the different value chips a corresponding one Color coding by the output from the lighting device Receives light.

Also It is conceivable that in the transparent or translucent Areas of the gambling character or pictogram are insertable, in addition to the lighting can be highlighted again clearly visible.

A particularly preferred embodiment the game table according to the invention and the chip shows the drawing.

It demonstrate:

1 The top view of a typical gaming table for American roulette according to the present invention,

2 - A section through the game table according to 1 with a field delimited by markers and tokens stacked thereon,

3 - a section accordingly 2 by another variant of the gaming table with illumination of the fields demarcated by markings,

4a . 4b - A top view and a section through a transparent or translucent chip according to the invention.

The 1 to 4 show a game table according to the invention 1 with different variants of the construction of the game table 1 and an associated token 4 according to the present invention in a very schematic representation, from which the principles of the invention will become apparent. Same part numbers designate same facts and details.

In the 1 is in a plan view the playing field of a game table 1 illustrated by the game plan of American Roulette as an example of a game, the game table 1 on its surface 5 marks 2 for the demarcation of different playing fields 3 each game-dependent can be configured differently. Also at the bottom is the 1 an additional label 18 to recognize, for example, the name or a logo for the operator of the game table 1 or may include advertising or the like. Such game tables 1 are usually in the form of textile fabrics with printed markings 2 produced, wherein the fabric is applied to an unlabeled or otherwise visible plate. The marks 2 for the playing fields 3 subject in this case once a natural wear through on the pitch 3 lying or relative to these playing fields 3 moved chips 4 that are caused by the contact with the surface 5 of the game table 1 when moving the chips 4 provide for abrasion of the fabric. Furthermore, the fabric of the game table 1 be damaged by burning cigarettes or overturned drinks or even made irreparably useless. The cost and especially the time required and the stoppage of the game table 1 During the repair of the fabric is high and therefore should be made superfluous with the invention described below, this effort or significantly reduced.

For this purpose, an inventive game table 1 according to 2 in a first embodiment of two layers, namely a cover plate consisting of a hard and abrasion-resistant material 6 and a support plate arranged thereunder 7 formed, with the chips 4 only with the hard and abrasion resistant surface 5 the cover plate 6 come directly into contact and therefore the chips 4 the marks 2 in the liner 17 can not touch directly anymore. The cover plate 6 may for example consist of a transparent or translucent material such as plexiglass, other plastic materials or artificial stone materials or the like, so that the markings 2 the playing fields 3 from above the surface 5 of the game table 1 are clearly visible. For this, the markers 2 the playing fields 3 for example, in the form of appropriately cut adhesive films, of coatings or imprints either on top of the carrier plate 7 or on the underside of the cover plate 6 be applied by appropriate coating techniques that allow a large area and accurate coating of the respective top or bottom. It is also conceivable that between the cover plate 6 and the carrier plate 7 a conventional fabric or other textile or sheet material layer is inserted, in turn, the markings 2 wearing. Through the cover plate 6 are in any case the markings 2 protected against abrasion and dirt or damage.

Advantageous and with regard to the visual appearance of the surface 5 of the game table 1 It is beneficial if both the cover plate 6 as well as the carrier plate 7 are transparent or translucent and formed on the surface 5 matted by matting methods such as sanding or etching or the like. The marks 2 are then behind a slightly milky cover plate 6 visible, thereby enhancing the appearance of the surface 5 of the game table 1 particularly valuable. Such matting of the surface 5 has the further advantage that in case of contamination or damage to the surface 5 the cover plate 6 a partial repair of the surface 5 is possible without any visual difference between the post-treated part surface and the rest of the surface 5 of the game table 1 becomes recognizable.

The 3 shows another embodiment of the game table 1 , on the one hand the markings 2 of the game table 1 in the surface 5 in depressions 16 taken in and to the surface 5 are open and the game table 1 only consists of a single layer. This will be on the surface 5 of the game table according to the pattern of the markings 2 according to the respective game 1 wells 16 in the surface 5 introduced by milling or the like and then with a material for the markings 2 filled, its hardness roughly the hardness of the material of the game table 1 corresponds and because of its color position preferably clearly opposite to the surface 5 of the game table 1 recognizable lifts. By a subsequent grinding or polishing process, the material of the markings 2 exactly to the height of the surface 5 of the game table 1 worked off, so that's the markings 2 flush with the surface 5 of the game table 1 to come to rest. Must the surface 5 such a designed game table 1 be reworked due to contamination or damage, so is both the surface 5 in the area of the material of the game table 1 as well as in the area of the material of the markings 2 evenly removed and thus a visually perfect surface 5 produced. Are the marks 2 in the wells 16 deep enough in the surface 5 let in, such a post-processing operation can be repeated very often, without recognizable the material of the markings 2 wears.

In the 3 is further illustrated that individual playing fields 3 through lighting devices 11 be illuminated locally, with the markings 2 a limitation of the illuminated playing fields 3 form. This is done in the field of playing fields 3 a lighting device 11 for example in the form of incandescent lamps 10 , LEDs or the like inside or below the game table 1 arranged such that the lamps 10 essentially lowered right to the thickness of the game table 1 light 19 radiate and thus the respective playing field 3 enlighten. The lighting devices are switched 11 via power supply lines 12 which, for example, are controlled by the recognition of the number in the roulette wheel depending on a particular score, for example in American Roulette. For example, if the number falls to the playing field 3 of the 3 heard, then either manually or automatically the lighting device 11 turned on and illuminated the corresponding field 3 , The lighting effect of the lamp 10 This is largely upward in the direction of a stack of chips 4 directed, for example by appropriate screens or the like straightening devices, not shown around the lamp 10 be arranged around.

A further improvement of the visual perceptibility of a win state, for example, by using the illumination device 11 be achieved by the special chips 4 with transparent or translucent areas 13 to be used, that of the lamp 10 radiated light 19 pass vertically upwards and out of a stack or a single token 4 in the form of vertically emitted light 8th let escape. Such a brand 4 is in the plan view and in a side cut again in the 4 shown enlarged. Such a brand 4 consists in a preferred embodiment substantially of an annular outer cover portion 22 and a likewise annular bottom portion 23 , in its central central area the chip 4 is made transparent or translucent, such as by appropriate material is used for this purpose. The translucent or transparent center area 13 runs along the entire central axis of the chip 4 so that from below the bottom section 23 entering light 19 after above the deck section 22 can happen. Are now several such chips 4 on top of each other and are centered approximately to each other, so are the transparent or translucent areas 13 to lie on top of each other and let the light in total 19 also through the transparent or translucent areas 13 the stacked chips 4 happen. This light 19 is the top of the stack of chips 4 as vertically emitted light 8th again visible and marked next to the enlightenment of the associated playing field 3 about the stack of chips 4 optically well visible on the winning field 3 lie.

In the 4 is yet another embodiment of the chip 4 to recognize that not only in the deck section 22 a lighting effect of the emitted light 19 but also an enlightenment of at least parts of the peripheral areas 20 of the chips 4 allows. This is between the deck section 22 and the bottom section 23 the brand 4 either a transparent or translucent ring element 14 (Shown on the right half of the plan view according to 4a ) arranged from the transparent or translucent central region 13 to the peripheral area 20 the brand 4 extends. Now falls light from below the bottom section 23 the brand 4 in the translucent or transparent area 13 a scattering or diffraction becomes part of the incident light 19 also in the transparent or translucent area of the ring element 14 initiated and occurs at the peripheral area 20 the brand 4 as radially emitted light 9 out again. As a result, in this area of the ring element 14 the game mark 4 also light up at the periphery when the lighting device 11 of the playing field 3 is turned on, on the thus designed chip 1 or a stack of such chips 4 has been launched. In another embodiment, instead of the transparent or translucent ring element 14 a number of transparent or translucent webs 15 so from the middle area 13 to the peripheral area 20 run (shown on the left half of the plan view according to 4a ) that in the webs 15 incident light 19 only occasionally as radial radiated light 9 in the peripheral area 20 becomes visible. This allows the perimeter of the chip 4 corresponding pattern by the radially emitted light 9 be generated. It is also conceivable, by the design of the ring element 14 or the webs 15 a color effect of the radially emitted light 9 for example, a recognition of the value of the respective chip 4 allowed.
