Definitions
- the invention relates to a coin-operated game device with associated viewing windows in two rows, one above the other, folding card carousels, the folding cards of which serve as symbol carriers, and a microprocessor containing a random generator for controlling the entire game process.
- Coin-operated game devices are known in a wide variety of embodiments. They usually have three circulating bodies, which can be cylindrical or disk-shaped. The revolving bodies have symbols on the surface that can be seen through the window from the outside. The circulating bodies are usually shut down one after the other and after all the circulating bodies have come to a standstill, the symbol combination appearing in the windows decides whether to win or lose. This can be seen from a winning plan provided on the front panel of the gaming device. Since only a limited space is available for the installation of the circulating bodies, only a limited number of symbols can be shown on the circumference or the front of the circulating bodies.
- a coin-operated game device with at least is already from DE-A-35 00 946 a display device is known in which an electromechanical drive element moves symbol carrier behind a window visible to the player in cyclical repetition in order to display at least one symbol as a game part result when randomly stopped, which, if appropriate in combination with other symbols, represents a game result, the display device being a known per se Folding card carousel, the folding cards are the symbol carriers, which are pivotally mounted on a hub which can be rotated in one direction by the drive element, in order to fold down from a front-side display position into a rear-side display position each time a nose is passed.
- each folding card of the folding card carousel has a play-decisive symbol on the front and on the back, so that the player can recognize the play-decisive symbols in the display position after swirling through the folding card carousel. This has a negative effect on the entertainment value for the player after a certain time.
- DE-U-87 05 015 shows a game device of the type mentioned at the beginning, in which the folding cards of each folding card carousel alternately carry a symbol which is decisive for the play on the front or on the back.
- the folding card carousel After the swirling of the folding card carousel, all visible pairs of folding cards remain in a display position that hides the symbols, and the left folding card carousel in the top row switches one step further by pressing a button.
- the folding card carousels in the lower row can be incremented by one step from left to right by the player using assigned keys, and this revealing of the symbols can be ended by actuating a corresponding key.
- the other folding card carousels of the upper one Row can be automatically switched one step at a time.
- "blackjack" playing devices are known as such from US-A-3796433 and US-A-4363486.
- the object of the invention is to provide a gaming device of the type mentioned at the outset for a more varied and more varied game with a greater incentive to play, so as to increase the entertainment value for the player.
- folding cards of each folding card carousel alternately carry a symbol that is decisive for the game, that after the swirling of the folding card carousels all visible pairs of folding cards remain in a position concealing the symbols, and one Folding card carousel of the upper row is computer-controlled one step forward, that the folding card carousel of the lower row can then be switched one step at a time by the player using assigned keys, and this revealing of the symbols can be ended by pressing a corresponding key, and that the other folding card carousels in the upper row can now be switched one by one by computer control.
- the player can, by correspondingly actuating the buttons belonging to the folding card carousels in the lower row, determine how many of the symbols he has thus exposed are to be determinative for the game result, with the player having to reveal each time they are turned up exciting question, which symbol with which value, which can be found in a profit plan attached to the gaming device, is now exposed by pressing the button.
- the surprise effect of revealing the symbols of the lower row of folding cards of the carousel causes the player to follow the course of the game with interest, which provides the player with a substantial entertainment.
- the symbols on the mutually facing sides of two circumferentially adjacent folding cards of the folding card carousel are each designed as playing card half symbols, so that in the corresponding display positions of the folding card pairs a complete playing card appears in the viewing window, and the playing cards are each assigned a number of points of the usual playing card value.
- the player wins in analogous application of the rules of the card game "17 + 4" if the total number of points of the visible playing cards of the lower folding card carousel row is greater than the total number of visible playing cards of the upper folding card carousel row and at the same time does not exceed 21 points.
- the mutually symbol-free sides of two peripherally adjacent folding cards of the folding card carousels are provided with advertising-effective identifiers.
- These markings can be implemented as a company logo, advertising slogan or the like.
- each folding card carousel row consisting of five individual folding card carousels is assigned a point display in which the points achieved in the associated row by the visible playing cards can be represented in accordance with their value.
- the player can immediately read the number of points belonging to the upper and lower folding card carousel row and, by comparing them, determine whether he is on the winning or losing side.
- the coin insertion is operatively connected to a supply point display, in which the points assigned to the different coin values according to a certain key can be represented, of which a certain partial amount can be used within a game. For example, 100 points can be assigned to the 1 DM coin, 250 points to the 2 DM coin and 600 points to the 5 DM coin.
- the supply point display is followed by an insert display bar from a plurality of display fields occupied with different numbers of points, in which the amount of the point insert can be selected for a game by actuating an associated key, the selected display field lighting up.
- the insert display bar is assigned a further button which can be actuated after revealing the first and before revealing the second folding card carousel of the lower row in order to double the point bet for the current game.
- the points set in the bet display bar are doubled in a risk bet display, which on the one hand has a display field "0" and on the other hand, several display fields occupied with increasing multipliers, which may flash one after the other alternating with the display field "0", and by pressing a risk button the displayed profit is the same as that flashing alternately with the display field "0"
- Multiplier display field can be multiplied or lost, whereby the profit once achieved can be accepted at any time by pressing an acceptance button and the final profit can be displayed in a profit display.
- the point gain indicated in the profit display can expediently be added up in a total profit display and from this total profit display, by pressing a transfer key, profit points in certain partial amounts are added to the stock point display transferable
- the revolving process of the folding card carousels is preferably carried out in the upper row second players scored points can be shown in a separate points display.
- the second player takes over the banking function when simulating the well-known card game "17 + 4". If, at the end of the game, the total number of points in the upper row of folding cards carousel is higher than the total number of points in the lower row of folding cards carousel, the second player wins. In the opposite case, the first player wins.
- the number of games played by the second player in succession can preferably be shown in one display. After 32 games, a bank change can preferably take place between the players by pressing a corresponding key.
- the game device 1 has an upper folding card carousel row 2 and a parallel lower folding card carousel row 3.
- Each row 2, 3 is composed of five adjacent folding card carousels 5, each of which is accommodated in an assembly block 4.
- the individual folding cards 6 of the folding card carousels 5 mounted behind viewing windows 7 in the front panel 8 of the game device 1 serve as symbol carriers.
- each folding card carousel 5 alternately carry a symbol which is decisive for the game only on the front 9 or on the back 10, ie if there is a symbol on the front 9 of a folding card 6, then the back of the same card and the front of the are neighboring folding cards are symbol-free, and if there is no symbol on the front 9 of a folding card 6, then the back of the same folding card and the front of the neighboring folding cards are provided with a symbol that determines the game.
- the symbols on the mutually facing sides of two circumferentially adjacent folding cards 6 are each designed as playing card half symbols 11, and on the mutually symbol-free sides of two circumferentially neighboring folding cards there is an advertising-effective identification 12 in each case the display position in which the two playing card half symbols 11 of a playing card can be seen in the associated viewing window 7, these two playing card half symbols 11 represent a complete playing card to which a number of points of the usual playing card value is assigned.
- this folding card carousel 5 will have a stepper motor switched one step further, the upper folding card folds over from passing through a retaining lug on the mounting block 4 from the front display position to a rear display position, as a result of which two advertising-effective identifiers 12 now appear in the viewing window 7.
- a complete playing card can be seen again in the viewing window 7.
- a complete playing card or the advertising-effective identifiers 12 appear alternately in the associated viewing window 7.
- this playing card is the playing card, “cross 4”, which is assigned a value of four points, which are shown in a point display 15 belonging to the upper folding card carousel row 2.
- the player can then step through the folding card carousels 5 of the lower row one after the other from left to right using keys 16 assigned to these folding card carousels, in order to reveal the face down playing cards.
- the player naturally only reveals as many playing cards as are necessary to use the Add the points assigned to the individual playing cards to the number of points 21 or to come as close as possible to this number of points.
- the playing cards "spades 10" (10 points), “hearts 7" (7 points) and "spades jack” (2 points) are revealed in the lower folding card carousel row 3, ie the player has reached a total of 19 points which are shown in a point display 32 assigned to the lower folding card carousel row 3.
- the player After the uncovering process of the playing cards of the lower row 3, the player actuates a corresponding key 17, whereupon one or more further folding card carousels 5 of the upper row 2 are switched on by one step.
- the playing card "Kreuz 9" (9 points) and the playing card “Kreuz As” (11 points) were also computer-controlled, so that the total number of points indicated by the playing cards is 24. Since this number of points is above the decisive number of points 21, the player has won with his 19 points.
- For the rest by lighting up the display fields "PULL" under the folding card carousels 5 of the lower row 3, it is shown in which time period he can press the keys 16.
- a supply point display 19 is assigned to the coin slot 18 of the gaming device 1, in which the points assigned to different coin values according to a specific key can be displayed.
- a button 22 assigned to the bet display bar 20 the player can select the amount of the point bet for a game.
- the selected display field lights up and at the same time the number of points this display fields is subtracted from the number of points of the supply point display 19.
- the display field 21 lights up with the number of points 50.
- simulated card game "17 + 4" is carried out with the aid of folding card carousel rows 2 and 3.
- the player has the possibility, after revealing the first and before revealing the second folding card carousel 5 of the lower row 3, to double the point bet by actuating a further button 23 assigned to the bet indicator bar 20. If the player has lost the game "17 + 4", the game is over. If, on the other hand, the player has won the game "17 + 4", the point bet in the bet display bar 20 is doubled and transferred to a risk bet display 24. In the exemplary embodiment, this is 100 points.
- the risk application display 24 is assigned on the one hand a display field 25 with the inscription "0" and on the other hand a plurality of display fields 26 which are filled with increasing multipliers.
- the lower display field 26 flashes with the multiplier "x 2" alternating with the display field "0". If the player now presses an associated risk button 27, he can either double or lose the points shown in the risk application display 24. If the player wins, the next higher display field 26 flashes alternately with display field 25, and the player can again press the risk button 27. This process can be continued until the maximum profit is achieved by reaching the display field 26 with the multiplier "x 64". In the meantime, however, the player can at any time accept the points achieved once by pressing a corresponding key 28, which is then displayed in a profit display 29.
- the player has the key 28 when winning in the risk game with the display field 26 occupied by the multiplier "x 4" pressed, whereby the risk game is ended and the number of points in the risk application display 24 is transferred to the profit display 29 by quadrupling. The number of points of the profit display 29 is then added up in a total profit display 30. From this total profit display 30, profit points can be transferred in certain partial amounts into the supply point display 19 by actuating a transfer key, so that the player can continue to play without inserting a new coin.
