Abstract

Afin de diversifier le déroulement et les possibilités de jeu d'un automate de jeu (1) à prépaiement ayant un dispositif de jeu (2) et une unité centrale de commande, de façon à augmenter l'attrait du jeu et la valeur récréative pour l'utilisateur, l'unité centrale commande l'automate de jeu (1) de sorte qu'à certaines heures de la journée ou certains jours de la semaine les coûts d'utilisation du dispositif de jeu (2) soient réduits. En outre, lors de chaque utilisation du dispositif de jeu, l'unité centrale commande l'automate de jeu (1) de sorte qu'un jeu de hasard lancé automatiquement lors de chaque utilisation du dispositif de jeu (2) offre à l'utilisateur, lorsque celui-ci gagne, la possibilité d'utiliser une ou plusieurs fois le dispositif de jeu (2) gratuitement. Finalement, l'unité centrale commande l'automate de jeu (1) de sorte que l'on puisse choisir, au moyen d'un sélecteur (16), avant de commencer à utiliser le dispositif de jeu (2), si le jeu doit prendre fin suite à des événements déterminés faisant partie du déroulement du jeu, ou à la fin d'une période prédéterminée.

Claims (3)

  1. Automate de divertissement à prépaiement comportant un dispositif de divertissement (2), un dispositif de commande central et un sélecteur (16) avec lequel on peut présélectionner si la fin du jeu dans le dispositif de divertissement ou la fin d'un intervalle de temps prédéterminé, détermine la fin du jeu, caractérisé en ce que l'intervalle de temps prédéterminé, qui selon le choix correspondant détermine la fin du divertissement, est automatiquement partagé par l'unité de commande centrale entre deux ou plusieurs utilisateurs de l'automate de divertissement (1).
  2. Automate de divertissement à prépaiement selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que l'automate de divertissement (1) est conçu comme un appareil de jeu avec un dispositif de jeu (2).
  3. Automate de divertissement à prépaiement selon la revendication 2, caractérisé en ce que l'appareil de jeu est conçu comme un appareil de jeu sans gain d'argent.
