Definitions

  • This invention relates to coin- or token-operated entertainment machines and is particularly although not exclusively concerned with such machines of the kind known as fruit machines.
  • a coin- or token-operated entertainment machine comprising a plurality of main display regions, means operable to produce a display of one or more symbols at each said region, some combinations of said displayed symbols being winning combinations and others being losing combinations, a pay-out mechanism operable to give a pay-out following a winning said combination, the value of the pay-out being different for different said winning combinations, a gamble device operable after production of a winning combination to change the value of the pay-out, and an adjustment mechanism operable in correspondence with the gamble device to change the displayed symbol combination to accord with the changed pay-out value.
  • the gamble device and the adjustment mechanism may become available for operation on all winning occasions or only on some such occasions on a random or predetermined basis. When so available preferably operation thereof is only effected when initiated by a player-operable control such as a press button.
  • the machine incorporates a gamble indicator which comprises an arrangement of indications representative respectively of the different pay-out values obtainable with the machine and also a lost or nil pay-out representation, the appropriate such indication being illuminated after operation of the gamble device to indicate the new pay-out value obtained.
  • a gamble indicator which comprises an arrangement of indications representative respectively of the different pay-out values obtainable with the machine and also a lost or nil pay-out representation, the appropriate such indication being illuminated after operation of the gamble device to indicate the new pay-out value obtained.
  • the machine of the invention is a fruit machine and the displayed symbols (which may be representations of fruit) are selected at random as by the rotation of reels (usually three or four reels) having such symbols marked around the periphery thereof, or by the operation of a vdu display simulating such rotation of reels (as described in our British Patent No. 1,596,363), or by the random illumination of symbols on areas of a display panel, or otherwise.
  • Actuation of the solenoid 4 causes the pawl to be withdrawn from engagement with the teeth and to cause the reel 1 to rotate freely, and deactuation of the solenoid causes the pawl to drop back into engagement with the teeth to arrest the reel in one of 20 stopping positions thereof in which one of the pictures of fruit on the periphery of same is in precise registration with the window 2.
  • Each stopping position is identified by a respective coded arrangement of holes in a side wall of the reel and the codes are read by a bank of photosensitive devices 5 which receive light from a light source or sources through the holes.
  • the machine In use, the machine is actuated by a player by insertion of one or more coins or tokens into a coin mechanism 6 and a starter button is pressed to operate a control unit 8 which causes the three reels 1 to be set in rotation for different random periods of time.
  • a control unit 8 which causes the three reels 1 to be set in rotation for different random periods of time.
  • the stopping positions thereof are identified by the photosensitive devices 5 in conjunction with data processing circuitry 9 and a win indication is produced which may enable a pay-out mechanism 10 to be actuated by a pay-out button 13 in the event that the identified stopping positions correspond to the display of a predetermined winning combination of fruit (say three fruit of the same kind) through the window 2.
  • each reel there is provided a respective hold button 14.
  • the hold buttons 14 are made available for operation and when so operated by the player the or each pertaining reel is held against rotation during the course of the ensuing game.
  • the indicator comprises a series of marked indications constituting the different winning pay-out values which can be obtained with the machine (say 20, 40, 80, 160) and also a nil pay-out or lose indication. Whenever a win is obtained with the machine, the corresponding pay-out value is illuminated with steady light (by a respective bulb 17) on the indicator 15. At the same time, and as appropriate, indications above and below such value are alternately illuminated with flashing lights.
  • the arrangement may be such that the above and below indications always constitute respectively that immediately above and that immediately below the original indication or, alternatively, that immediately above and the lose indication. In the latter case if the player gambles unsuccessfully he receives no pay-out. In the former case an unsuccessful gamble may still result in a pay-out if the original indication is above the lowest actual pay-out value (i.e. above 20 in the drawing).
  • the arrangement may be such that the player is only ever allowed one gamble per game. Alternatively, the player may be allowed successive gambles as long as such gambles are successful and until the highest pay-out value has been reached.
  • the gamble button is arranged also to operate a reel- position adjustment mechanism 18. After selection of a new pay-out value with the gamble button the mechanism 18 initiates adjustment of the positions of the reels 1 such that the displayed combination of symbols on the winning line changes from the original winning combina- ation to a new combination corresponding to the new pay-out value.
  • a winning combination of three like fruit may change to a winning combination of three other like fruit where an actual pay-out of greater or less value is obtained; and a winning combination of three like fruit may change to a losing combination of three different fruit where the player gambles unsuccessfully.
  • vdu display which simulates the rotation of reels and in this case the gamble indicator may be displayed on a region of the vdu screen.
