The present invention relates to a win-win slot machine.

Such devices are known in many forms. Usually the devices come with a or several circulating bodies equipped, the winning symbols and possibly also loss symbols wear. The decision about profit or loss is made after the circulating units have come to rest based on the symbol combination displayed in the respective position.

Such a known coin-operated game device has three circulating bodies arranged in parallel next to one another, of which the two outer circulating bodies each have two superimposed rows of different Have winning symbols, so that each time they come to rest from each of these recirculating bodies two winning symbols are displayed; the middle circulating body has a series of symbols and shows a single winning symbol each time it comes to rest. The device pays a profit then off when the same winning symbol is displayed on all three circulating bodies. It does not matter where the winning symbols of the two outer circulating bodies are in the position shown whether both the same symbols are in the upper position or in the lower position or whether the winning symbol on the one outer circulating body in the upper one, the same winning symbol on the one other outer recirculating bodies are displayed in the lower position, in each case one takes place Payout of winnings in the amount assigned to the symbol shown together, if the middle Recirculating body displays the same symbol. Such play devices offer the player a certain incentive insofar as by the simultaneous display of two winning symbols each on the two outer circulating bodies appears to be a better chance of profit than with other devices.

The inventor set himself the task of making the course of the game more interesting in these devices to design and thus the player a more extensive entertainment and thus a bigger one To offer an incentive to play by making the game more varied and the player is offered additional opportunities to win.

This is achieved according to the invention in that a symbol marked as neutral (joker) of the middle recirculating body is assigned a relay that is energized when this symbol appears, which is used for each of the different winning symbols arranged on the outer circulating bodies is a coin-operated gaming machine

The game device according to the invention has according to brush 12, the contact /, to the joker relay 24 and Fig. 1 and 2 three roller-shaped recirculating body .4, to the negative pole. The joker relay picks up and closes B, C, of which the bodies ^ and C two match - its contacts to 10. The current for actuating other rows of winning symbols containing the payout coil flows from the positive pole to the grinding brush, while the middle body only one Row 20 11 shows over the contacts 3 · of the rotating body A and those of winning symbols. The front of the upper row of contacts of the circulating body B to the Kon device has the coin slot at the top right, the clock spring 3 of the joker relay 24 at the bottom, from here to the contact the payout tray; Under the individual recirculating spring 15 of the shift drum, to the contacts 3 of the bodies A, B, C there are switching elements to the recirculating body C and via the grinding brush 13 for influencing, ie for braking or restarting 25 payout coil 23 and to the negative pole. It takes place like sen of the individual circulations. The middle circulation, previously actuating the payout reel three times, shows a wild symbol at one point of its circumference instead of 23 and thus the payout of a win from one number. DM 0.30. For the last two impulses is the

Figs. 3 to 7 show the recirculating body A, B, C spring of the cam disk 14 to the spring in the developed representation, the rows of the 30 cam disk 15 connected in parallel,
With different numbers provided profit- The Fig. 5 shows the following combination: Circulation symbols are shown. For each individual winning symbol .4 the numbers 8, 3; Recirculating body B the Jokerbol is assigned an electrical contact. This symbol; Recirculating body C the numbers 3, 8. The UmKontakte form two parallel bodies for each recirculating body A and C show two identical symbols, lele rows of contacts. Each circulating body A, B, C is 35 namely the numbers 3 and 8. The joker relay is assigned to a grinding brush 11,12,13, which is the place of the number 8 of the higher profit. A row of contacts is deleted and after the rest of the game, the profit of DM 0.80 is paid out on the basis of the contacts of the symbols displayed: through the bridges on the joker contacts /, d . standing contact bridge 12. of the recirculating unit B

Fig. 3 shows the following profit combination- 4 ° is - as before - - the joker relay 24 energized, so tion: Recirculating body A shows the numbers 3, 8; Umlauf- that its contact springs 3 to 10 are closed, body the number 3; Circulating body C the numbers 3, the current to actuate the payout coil flows 10. There is a payout in the number 3 from the positive pole via the grinding brush 11 of the recirculating level (DM 0.30). body A to the contacts 8 and 3 of this circulation

This payout is effected as follows: From * 5 körpers. The current flows on to the contact 3 of the positive pole, a current flows through the brush upper row of the rotating body B and to the contact 11 of the rotating body A to all contacts 3 spring 3 of the relay 24; At the same time, a current flows and 8 of this circulating body and to the contacts 3 from the contact 8 of the upper row of contacts and 8 of the upper row of contacts of the circulating body B. Circulating body B to the contact spring 8 of the relay 24. The current also flows through the brush 12 to 5 ° Simultaneous currents also flow via the contacts 3 of the lower row of contacts of the reed 15 and 20 and via the contacts 3 and 8 running body B, from here via the contact spring of the two contact rows of the circulating body C via cam disk 15 to the contacts 3 of the contact - The grinding brush 13, the pay-out reel 23 to the minus rows of the rotating body C and over the grinding pole. During the rotation of the holding roller, the counter brush 13 and the payout coil 23 to the negative pole of the 55 clock springs 15 and 20 are simultaneously energized; the voltage source. The switching drum carries for each first five current impulses for the payout coil 23 success number 2 to 10 a cam disk, which is equipped with the gene via the contact spring 20, while the corresponding number of cams. closing three current impulses via the parallel contact springs 15 and 20 all cam disks are connected at the same time. The actuates, so that the contact springs of all cam disks 60 payout coil 23 is energized eight times and pays are closed at the same time. The cam disk DM 0.80 from.

15 has three cams, so that the payout reel The A b b. 6 shows another combination: is excited three times and the amount of DM0.30 running body A shows the number, 8; Recirculating body B ejects. The last payout must have been made after the 15th semester - the wild symbol, the numbers 4 in the circulating block C, 5th announcement; therefore the cam disk 65 begins. The rotating bodies A and B do not show a common 22 with the pulse generation, and the pulse-winning symbols follow; a bonus of DM 0.20 is paid on the basis of the joker gifts of the other cam disks 14 to 21. according to, so that the three pulses from the cam- Through the grinding brushes 11 and 13 of the recirculating body

A and C do not create a circuit. The joker relay 24 is in turn energized by the brush 12 on the contacts d and /. But this excitement of the joker relay is irrelevant for the payment of the bonus. To actuate the payout coil, a current flows from the positive pole to contact d, grinding brush 12, contact /, spring contact of the cam disk 14, and the payout coil 23 to the negative pole. When the shift drum rotates, the cam disk 14 with its two cams directly actuates the pay-out reel 23 solely via the contacts d and / of the grinding brush 12 of the central rotating body B.

Fig: 7 shows the following combination: Recirculating unit A shows the numbers 9, 6; Circulating body B is the wild symbol, circulating body C is the numbers 9, 6. There is a payment based on the wild symbol, depending on the number 9, in the amount of DM 0.90. This win can only be paid out when the wild symbol is displayed, as the number 9 as a winning symbol is not on the middle circulating body B. The same goes for the number 7.

The joker relay 24 is excited by the grinding brush 12 of the rotating body B via the contacts d and /, as already described above. To operate the payout coil, current flows from the positive pole via the brush 11, the contacts 6 and 9 of the recirculating body A to the contact springs 9 and 6 of the joker relay 24; from here current flows to the cam disks 18 and 21 of the shift drum und_ via the contacts 9 and 6 and the grinding brush Ϊ3 and the payout coil to the negative pole. The payout reel is excited nine times and a profit of DM 0.90 is paid out.
