Definitions

  • the invention relates to a gaming machine comprising a keyboard and a plurality of display members arranged side by side and being controllable with the aid of the keyboard by means of an electrically and/or electronically operating mechanism, said display members being provided with a plurality of particulate elements, which can luminesce independently of one another by the supply of current so that with the aid of the display members luminescing signs can be formed.
  • Conventional gaming machines of the fruit machine type comprise a plurality of wheel-shaped members arranged side by side, at the peripheries of which various signs, frequently in the form of different products are illustrated.
  • Means are provided to turn the wheel-shaped members with the aid of the keyboard and by means of an electronically and/or electrically operating mechanism, whilst braking members are provided for br a - king the wheel-shaped members by the action of the electrically and/or electronically operating mechanism. If after the wheel-shaped members have come to a standstill a given combination of signs is obtained on the adjacent wheel-shaped members, the player will obtain a given benefit in the form of points, coins or the like.
  • Such gaming machines comprising rotatable, wheel-shaped members, driving means for the hweel-shaped members and braking means for the wheel-shaped members is, however, complicated and expensive and subject to wear, which may result after some time in an incorrect operation of the gaming machine.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a gaming machine of the kind set forth which gives the player the impression to play with the classical automatic fruit machine, in which the wheel-shaped members notate and hence the signs arranged on these wheel-shaped members move from top to bottom in the player's field of view.
  • the surface in which the luminescing elements of the display members are located has an at least approximately curved shaped, which further enhances the impression of a moving wheel.
  • the display member 1 shown in Fig. 4 comprises nine elements 2 arranged in the form of the digit 8. On the rear side of the display member 1 each element has its connection to an electric power source.
  • the design is 3uch that each of the elements 2 can be connected to the current source independently of the other elements and, respectively, be cut off so that each of the elements 2 can luminesce separately.
  • the display member shown in Fig. 1 can produce the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7,8, 9 and 0 as well as the characters A, L, E and F. It will be obvious that in this way with the aid of a single display member a great number of different signs formed by the luminescing elements can be shown. In accordance with the number and the array of the elements 2 in a display member more variations may, if desired, be made in the form of signs adapted to luminesce, whilst it can be imagined to cause different elements to luminesce in different colours and, as the case may be, other signs than digits and characters may be formed.
  • a key 8 may be provided for a purpose to be described hereinafter, as well as a central control-key 9.
  • a further advantage of the possibility of simultaneously obtaining a plurality of signs standing one above the other in each of the columns 3 to 6 resides in the fact that it is then also possible to allow a given benefit when a given combination of signs is obtained along an inclined row or a vertical row of displayed signs.
  • the keys 8 may be used to block the signs luminescing in one or more columns during the next-following game so that said signs will no longer shift.
  • the display members 1 arranged one above the other in the columns 3 to 6 are not disposed in a flat plane rather approximately along an arc, the resemblance of the device embodying the invention to the classical gaming machine with rotating wheels is further enhanced.
  • a further, effective embodiment of the gaming machine according to the invention can be obtained by using an elongate display member 10 having a very great number of elements 11 located side by side and one below the other, which can be individually caused to luminesce through connections 12 on the rear side of the display member 10.
  • the display member 10 is slightly curved, as is shown in Fig. 5.
