Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for submitting a game win, in which after a coin is thrown into a game device having an information carrier ejection device, a game sequence takes place and an evaluation and display of the game result takes place, and a device for carrying out the method .
  • Coin-operated play equipment is known in a wide variety of forms and designs. It is a game of skill or luck with direct payouts in the form of one or more coins or one or more free spins. The disadvantage of these facilities is that the winnings are given only in the form of coins or free spins.
  • a disadvantage of this system is the coupling a device used primarily as a vending machine with a game device. It is hardly to be assumed that every recipient of a certain commodity from a vending machine is interested in a game. The goods recipient must compulsorily take part in a game of chance and involuntarily help to finance other, accruing profits with the purchase of the goods, instead of receiving his goods as cheaply as possible. Another disadvantage is the restriction of the choice of goods.
  • GB 1 559 496 discloses a further gaming device in which a lottery ticket is issued for each game and, in addition to a corresponding prize, for example in the form of coins, at least one further lottery ticket is also issued for each competition.
  • the lottery tickets are stored, for example, as an endless reel in the gaming device and are individually cut, whereby if there are several won tickets, these can be issued individually or in one piece.
  • the tickets issued will be entered into a raffle, whereby it is only then certain whether another profit has been made.
  • the disadvantage of this facility is that the gaming device does not make a choice between a winner or a loser for the lots issued. Only with the raffle is it certain which lot or which lot number has won and each lot owner must be interested in whether one of his lots has won.
  • the invention has for its object to propose a method and a game device for submitting a game win, which allow to make a distinction between winners and losers and a game win in the form of any goods, regardless of their dimensions and durability and / or to offer a service without having to operate a goods dispenser to trigger a non-random, desired goods.
  • the advantages achieved by the invention are essentially to be seen in the fact that for every information carrier ejected, any goods gains, regardless of their composition, dimensions or durability, or service profits are in prospect, while at the same time all the information and documents necessary to redeem the respective profit emerge from the information medium issued.
  • Another advantage is that the winners do not receive certain winnings from the operator themselves, but depending on the winnings from a specialist company commissioned by the operator who is also able to install and commission these winnings so that they can be handed over to the winner ready for operation (e.g. TV set) , Refrigerator, etc.).
  • the drawing shows the schematically illustrated front view of the game device according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • the game device 1 has under the front window 2 a playing field 3 with three mutually independent, adjacent, identical, closed ball tracks 4.
  • Each ball track 4 has a ball inlet 5 at the top, different through-baffles 6 in height and two outlet channels 7 below.
  • a step-by-step illuminated hit display unit 10 is provided with a separate, blinking, illuminated profit display 19 and, to the right of the ball tracks 4, an illuminated free play 11 and a step-by-step bonus display 12 are provided.
  • a tilt display 20 Above the free spin and bonus display 11, 12 there is a tilt display 20 and above it a coin slot 13 and to the right of it a return button 14 for the return of a coin that is recognized as not permitted.
  • a counterfeit money return 16 is provided on the right side and an information carrier output slot 17 of an automatic information carrier output device, not shown, is provided on the left side.
  • a free space 22 for the designation of the game device 1 and a play instruction 18 are arranged to the left and right of each, covered by the front screen 2.
  • a free space 21, also covered by the front window 2 is provided for advertising slides.
  • a ticker 23 is arranged between the playing field 3 and the free space 21.
  • a coin validator a ball transport device with a drive unit, at least one electronic cube generator, at least one information carrier, an automatic dispenser for information carriers, a security device against unauthorized manipulation as well as the necessary lighting and control devices.
  • the game device described above is a pure gaming device which is automatically put into operation after a coin has been inserted, without the player being able to influence the course of the game. It works as follows: A coin inserted into the gaming device through the coin slot 13 is initially checked by the coin validator. If it is recognized as inadmissible, it falls into an excretion channel either immediately or after actuation of the return button 14 and can be removed from the gaming device again by the counterfeit money return 16 built into the base 15 of the gaming device 1. If the coin is deemed admissible, it falls into an acceptance channel and the game starts automatically.
  • the electronic cube generator determines one of the two outlet channels 7 as a hit channel for each of the three ball tracks 4 once per game run, the arrows of the marker lamps 8 which are arranged above the determined hit channels being illuminated in each case.
  • the ball transport device is driven by the drive unit and brings a plastic ball 9 into each of the three ball races 4 through the ball inlet 5 at the same time.
  • the three plastic balls 9 pass through with different ones Continuous chicanes 6 equipped ball raceways 4 and fall down into one of the two outlet channels 7 provided for each ball raceway 4.
  • a point is credited in the hit display unit 10, ie the lighting of the hit display unit 10 changes to the next higher digit.
  • a maximum of three hit points and a minimum of zero hit points are possible per game sequence.
  • An entire game cycle consists of four game sequences. As soon as the first three plastic balls 9 have left the playing field 3, three more follow, etc. The ball transport device runs until four balls have fallen through the ball tracks 4 four times. A maximum of twelve hit points and a minimum of zero hit points can thus be achieved per game run, the number of points reached lighting up to ten points on the hit display unit 10 and the profit indicator 19 flashing when eleven or twelve hit points are reached. A game win with a payout is therefore always certain when, after the end of an entire game run, the win indicator 19 flashes and an information carrier representing a voucher for a win is issued from the game device.
  • the information carrier controlled for approval which is given a serial number in advance is provided with a marking denoting the gaming device during the dispensing and is output by the automatic dispenser through the information carrier dispensing slot.
  • the marking ensures that only the information carriers output from a gaming device achieve a profit.
  • the information carrier can be a card consisting of two parts, a delivery part and a detachable document part, the delivery part being provided with the address of the profit issuing point. The winner must enter the winning delivery address in the correspondingly marked fields of the delivery part and affix a corresponding stamp. After separating the perforated section provided as proof of the game win achieved, the card is to be handed over to the next post collection point.
  • Any range of goods, such as gift baskets etc., TV sets, refrigerators, cars or weekend and holiday arrangements can be provided as game wins.
  • a commissioned profit allocation agency under official supervision, takes care of the allocation of the winnings to the information carriers received.
  • the winning issuer then sends the, the number of the Information carrier appropriate winnings to the address of the winner, or instructs a previously determined special company with the delivery of the corresponding game prize and with the eventual installation and commissioning of the winner.
  • the gaming device In addition to the described determination of winnings and the output of an information carrier, the gaming device also has other facilities. Immediately after accepting a coin which is considered to be admissible, a bonus point is credited to the bonus display 12. If the player throws in another coin for another game run after the end of a game, the bonus credit increases by another bonus point. The bonus credit is retained even if a player pauses the game and is then available to a subsequent player. When eight bonus points are reached, the following game is a free spin and lights up in the free spin display 11.
  • a built-in security device protects the gaming device and the operator from fraudulent and unjustified manipulation. If this safety device responds, the tilt display 20 placed above the free spin display 11 lights up and the gaming device is stopped at the same time. In the free space 21 for advertising slides, it is intended to present the main prices in slides and to display the remaining prices with ticker 23.
  • Such play equipment can be set up, for example, as a vending machine in exhibitions and at trade fairs, where exhibition-specific product profits are advertised to visitors and any winnings can be received directly by the winners at an exhibition issuing office.
