has been named as the inventor

There are slot machines with several gaming points and a common set of recirculating bodies known whose symbols arranged on their circumference indicate the win when the vehicle is stationary.

These known devices have only a single display device, so that all simultaneously Participating players will each receive the same winning result.

It has been shown that such an embodiment, which in itself is intended to serve the purpose, to play along incentive, as soon as a player has started the device, has not achieved this goal. Much more the opposite occurred, namely that other players felt that the course of the game was uninteresting started feeling extremely dependent on the main player. That's why these were Devices are unpopular and have therefore not been able to introduce themselves.

The invention is based on the clear recognition of this fact, and it is based on the object the problem posed earlier, but not yet solved in a satisfactory manner cope with several players at the same time using basically only one slot machine and thus at the same time playing along with the use of extremely low expenses to enable in an interesting way.

The solution to this inventive problem is that each game point has its own display device is associated with the different display devices having different end results Show.

The invention can be particularly simple in the

Realize way that in a prismatic, ■ expediently cylindrical housing, the one set on a common, preferably vertical

ίο arranged axis, designed as disks or rings Circulating body encloses a plurality of axially leading windows over the circulating body are.

The slot machine can be designed so that the drive cannot be influenced during the playing time is.

However, it can also be designed so that with a known arrangement of devices to influence the course of the game, such as brakes, restart devices or the like, of these only one, advantageously the one at the game point first used during a game is arranged, can be actuated by a locking comb displaced when coins are inserted only the associated operating button remains movable.

A preferred embodiment of the machine is that the discs on their Both faces bear symbols and thus the arrangement of on their front and back Enable play areas.

Finally, it is advisable if a locking device is provided that can be actuated by blocking the coin slot devices from a certain point in the game from, e.g. B. after the standstill of the second circulating body, no longer permitted.

Some exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawing.

According to FIGS. 1 and 2, a slot machine equipped with three rotating bodies in the form of ring disks a, b, c of any known construction is accommodated in an upright cylinder housing d.

This housing has three windows e, f, g , which are distributed with equal mutual distances on its circumference and extend over the recirculating bodies α, b, c .

The width of this window is chosen so that it only shows one of the symbols arranged on the circumference of the recirculating body α, b, c , z. B. make numbers visible.

Each of these windows is assigned its own coin slot h, i, k and its own payout device with payment cup m, η, ο .

As soon as the drive of the machine is set in motion by one of the coin slots h, i _> k , the disks α, b, c revolve in a known manner and, when the disks come to a standstill, reveal the symbols determining the winnings.

Meanwhile, other players have the option of following the course of the game through the other windows and, as soon as there is a chance of winning, to join the game by inserting a coin at their place. Automatically, as with any normal device, a payout of winnings takes place at every game point via the payment cup m, η, ο according to the value in the associated window e, f, g.

As the drawing reveals, each play area is also assigned an operating button p, q, r for a brake or a restart device, which are, however, coupled to one another so that during a game only that button can be operated whose play area is first thrown in by a Coin has been claimed.

Such a possibility is indicated schematically in FIG. 3. Thereafter, h in one of the ball slots by inserting a coin, k a locking comb od. The like. S so displaced that only the associated push button p, q, r can be operated, while the others are disabled.

In Figs. 4 and 5, practically the same construction is shown. It differs from the first only in the horizontal arrangement in which the recirculating bodies rotate around a horizontal axis, and in the arrangement of only two windows e, f.

In Fig. 6 a so-called three-disk device is shown schematically. This has a central window w covering all three panes t _} u, ν and, for example, a further window ^, y, ζ each, which together result in a three-digit final number or the like. This would give two participants the opportunity to play at the same time. Of course, the panes can also carry additional sets of windows for other players;

Such an embodiment gives the possibility of the discs on both sides with symbols to be provided and accordingly an equal number of game points on their front and back to be arranged (Fig. 7).

The new device is expediently a locking device, for example for the coin slot, show that a coin has been inserted from a certain point in time during the course of the game, z. B. after the second circulating body has come to a standstill, is no longer permitted.

Such a lock can in turn take place in a simple manner by means of a locking comb, as he does is shown in FIG. 3.
