Definitions

  • the present invention relates to slot machines.
  • the present invention relates to those machines which are normally installed in pubs, cafes, recreational centres, sports salons and similar establishments, which operate by the insertion of coins, or possibly tokens, having a predetermined value and which, in each operating cycle, following the dictates of chance, pay off prizes consisting of multiples of the value of the mentioned coins, or in some cases of vouchers which can be exchanged for such prizes or for services rendered by the establishment itself in which the machine is installed, such as, for example, food or drink having a pre-established value.
  • the present invention relates to known machines which comprise a completely closed casing having, at the front and at the a height suitable to be conveniently observed, a number of display units for displaying digits, or possibly any other conventional signs or symbols.
  • symbols or signs are continuously, randomly and independently changed for a pre-established period of time at a rapid speed to produce a resulting combination of signs or symbols from which the prizes paid off by the machine depend.
  • This type of machine can be adapted with relative ease to the realization of different games.
  • Prior art machines comprise a slot for the insertion of coins, a push button which permits each operating cycle to be commenced after a coin has been inserted and duly been accepted by a corresponding coin control device, and a set of three push buttons by means of each one of which the changing of symbols on an associated display unit may be interrupted.
  • a prize is obtained when pre-established combinations appear on the display units. These combinations are valued differently in accordance with a table which basically consists in the repetition of the same sign on all of the display units, or at least on two of them.
  • the machine is also provided with a system which permits, in a determined game, the signs or symbols which are of interest to be retained in order to increase the possibility of success in the following game.
  • DE-A-2 205 993 there is described a slot machine which has a rear box connected by hinges to a front box.
  • the operating components of the machine are located in this box.
  • the front box is provided with windows through which the rotating parts of the machine may be viewed.
  • the object of the invention is to facilitate and simplify assembly of the machine during manufacture as well as repair and maintenance of the machine.

  • These slots 5 are arranged in two molded bodies 6, 6' identical to each other, conveniently secured to this upper surface, for example, by means of screws which thread in corresponding holes 7, whereby they are completely inaccessible from the outside.
  • Each one of these bodies 6, 6' has a stepped configuration, presenting an approximately L-shaped section which defines a protruding vertical surface 8, aligned with the slot 5 in the same vertical plane or slightly inclined, so as to facilitate the insertion of the coins.
  • the coin receiving bodies 6, 6' are capable of receiving coins having two different values, for example, 5 and 25 peseta coins, respectively.
  • the body 6' serves only to provide the players with small change, in the normal case in which the machine is programmed to operate with coins having the first mentioned value.
  • These two bodies 6, 6' are connected to devices 9, 9' for controlling the size, weight and alloy of the coins.
  • the devices 9, 9' are connected to small grooves 10, 10' into which faulty or false coins are dropped and which can be collected through corresponding side opening 11, 11'.
  • the coin control devices 9, 9' are fixed to the casing 1 in a readily dismountable manner. They are, for example, fitted into corresponding fixed guides and locked by means of bolts or latches 12, 12' which can be actuated from the outside.
  • the gate 14 with which the rear face of the casing 1 is closed is mainly flat, in order to permit the possible installation of the machine against a wall or a similar vertical surface, and has only one continuous perimeter edge or flange 13 which fits into a corresponding step 15 provided at the edge of the face of the casing 1, forming a sufficiently sealed closure to prevent the penetration of dust or other impurities and any type of foreign elements with which fraudulent handling could be attempted.
  • This gate 14 in accordance with the invention serves as a support for a plate 16 for a control circuit which will subsequently be described in detail.
  • the rear gate 14 will, furthermore, have a countersunk zone, not represented in the drawings, in which there will be situated the plug connection element through which the machine will be coupled to the main supply network, a general switch and a general safety fuse.
  • the gate 17 by means of which the front face of the casing 1 is closed, has a slightly bulged shape, preferably formed by two inclined planes 18, 18' joined by a rounded horizontal edge 19.
  • a plate 20 which supports luminous display units, to which reference will be made subsequently, and which are visible from the outside through screen units 21, 21', 21" which, in conjunction, form a playing screen 22.
  • This gate 17 is also provided with openings through which there project to the outside, ready to be actuated, control elements comprising a push button 23, by means of which the machine is operated, once the corresponding coin has been inserted in the slot 5 and has been duly accepted, and a set of push buttons 24, 24', 24" by means of which there is achieved the dual function of interrupting, when desired, the rapid succession of signs or symbols on a corresponding display unit and of retaining a symbol obtained in a previous game for the following game, in the conditions which will subsequently be studied.
  • control elements comprising a push button 23, by means of which the machine is operated, once the corresponding coin has been inserted in the slot 5 and has been duly accepted, and a set of push buttons 24, 24', 24" by means of which there is achieved the dual function of interrupting, when desired, the rapid succession of signs or symbols on a corresponding display unit and of retaining a symbol obtained in a previous game for the following game, in the conditions which will subsequently be studied.
  • This gate 17 is also provided with one or more plates 25, on which there are represented the distinct combinations of prize awarding signs, together with the amounts thereof, forming a sort of table, as well as one or more plates 26 which contain the instructions for use of the machine and a signalling element in the form of a luminous screen 27 with the pertinent indication which will be illuminated notifying the public when the machine is out-of-order for example, because of breakdown, because the supply of coins for paying off the prizes has been worn out, or for any other reason. Finally, at the lower part of the machine there is a large sized groove 28 readily accessible from the outside in which the coins corresponding to the prizes obtained by the players in the successive games will be dropped in a position to be picked up.
  • a coin storage housing 29 capable of sliding horizontally on guides 30, 30', so that it is in a position to be partially extracted, for example, towards the front part, before the gate 17 is opened, by merely pulling a handle 31 of any suitable type.
  • the housing 29 serves to store the coins which constitute the profits corresponding to the operation of the machine, and is secured in the closed position by means of a safety lock 32, whereby to have access to the contents it is necessary to have at least two keys corresponding, respectively, to this latter lock 32 and to the lock 3 of the front gate.
  • the guides 30, 30' form part of a frame 33 which can slide on guides fixed to casing 1 so that it can be preferably partially or completely withdrawn from the casing 1 by horizontal sliding both through the front and the rear part thereof, in order to facilitate any repair, control or maintenance operations which should be carried out.
  • a transformer 35 with a primary winding prepared to operate at any normal voltage, i.e. normally at 125 or 220 V, and three independent secondaries of 9, 14 and 24 V, respectively, which supply the operating voltages of the various individual elements.
  • the outputs of the transformer 35 are connected to a plate 34 which supports an input circuit, which has at least one heat dissipator which is made, for example, of black anodized aluminium.
  • this frame 33 there is likewise installed an amplifier 36 which emits different sounds during operation of the machine, specially emphasizing, by duly selected melodies, that a player has obtained one of the different possible prizes, and which also emits predetermined melodies when the machine is out-of-order for a pre-established period of time.
  • this amplifier 36 is used to emit alarm signals, for example, in the form of a siren, when the machine is subjected to blows, pushes, inclinations or any type of fraudulent handling.
  • the elements which guide and control the passageway of the coins from the inlet slots 5 towards the housing 29 or towards the groove 28 accessible from the outside, in which the coins originating from the small change and prizes are dropped.
  • These elements basically comprise a coin registering the dispensing mechanism 37, of the rotary type, known per se, which is conveniently controlled by an electronic control circuit and which drives towards the groove 28 the amounts corresponding to the distinct prizes obtained by the player, as well as the small change corresponding to the coins having a value higher than the price of the game, which are inserted. through the corresponding slot 5, i.e.
  • the tank 38 is provided with a safety device which cooperates with the electronic coin metering system of the machine and which can, for example, consist in a sensing element 41 or a similar element which is activated by the weight of stored coins, so that when the reserve coins are reduced to below a pre-established level, the machine will no longer operate and further games cannot be played, since the existing reserve does not permit the prizes which could possibly to obtained by the player to be paid off.
  • the machine is equipped with three meters 42, 42', 42" installed, for example, on a support plate 43 directly fixed to the frame 33, which register, respectively, the insertions of coins having a higher value (i.e.
  • the display units 51,51', 51" for producing the rapid succession of luminous signs or symbols adopt an already known structure, incorporating a certain number of sign bearing transparent plates 52 mounted in parallel on a frame.
  • This frame comprises a flat rectangular shaped plate 53 of insulating material on which there rest, and to which there are fixed by means of screws, two opposing metal bodies 54, 54'.
  • These bodies 54, 54' have a number of horizontal grooves 55, separated by corresponding ribs 56, equal to half plus one of the number of transparent plates 52 which should be mounted and so situated that each one of these plates 52 fit into one of the grooves 55 one of the bodies 54, 54', and are merely supported at their front against a rib of the opposite body 54, 54', whereby assembly is substantially facilitated.
  • Each one of the metal bodies 54, 54' has a countersunk zone, opposite to the grooves 55, in which there fits and is fixed, by means of a mere screw 57, an insulating plate 58, 58'.
  • each one of these plates 58, 58' is provided with a printed circuit 59, while the opposite face has, emerging in an orthogonal direction, a certain number of lamps 60 (as many lamps as transparent plates of which the display is comprised) duly connected to said circuit 59.
