Definitions

  • the invention relates to a roulette wheel, in particular for use in casinos, with a roulette plate.
  • a roulette plate is known from French patent specification 810 827, but it does not correspond to the "classic” roulette plates, as are used in casinos.
  • This roulette plate carries a circular ring, the circular ring being placed on an upwardly projecting projection of the roulette plate.
  • the webs for delimiting the fields are screwed onto the circular ring in the usual way.
  • roulette plates such as those used in roulette bowls in casinos
  • the 37 fields are recessed and separated from one another by radial webs, which webs are screwed onto the roulette plate. It is known that manipulation is often carried out on roulette plates and roulette wheels and that both the operator and the player fear manipulation of the gaming devices.
  • the webs in particular are the target of a wide variety of manipulations and the aim of the invention is to create a roulette wheel with a roulette plate for casinos or similar establishments in which manipulations are largely ruled out, and in which an optimal compromise between a game sequence desired by the operator and the player is guaranteed and where the device's inaccuracies are switched off as much as possible to prevent a preference for numbers, even if this preference means only a few percent advantage in terms of a hit or win.
  • the exact manufacture of the insert ring with the webs enables an improvement in the smooth running of the roulette plate, so that it is optimally balanced on a pin with a flange part rotatably mounted in the roulette bowl; for this reason it is provided in a development of the invention that the pin bearing the roulette plate with the recessed insert ring is formed in one piece with the flange part and is formed together with the flange part by machining, in particular turning and grinding. So far it has been customary to form the pin supporting the roulette plate and the flange part screwed to the bottom of the roulette wheel from two parts and to weld them together.
  • the insert ring and the webs are solid Brass formed or cast and are produced by machining, in particular milling.
  • Brass has the advantage over the previously commonly used aluminum that it is specifically heavier and thus results in a quieter and longer-running roulette plate, but brass has advantages in terms of processing.
  • brass is also non-magnetic and magnetizable and prevents manipulation using magnets.
  • the surface of brass can be easily finished or coated and it is particularly advantageous if at least the surface of the webs is nickel-plated or chrome-plated. Manipulations on the webs, for example by grinding the webs and widening the fields associated therewith, are prevented, since such manipulations are immediately recognizable.
  • the one-piece design of the solid brass webs with the insert ring prevents loosening and replacement of the webs, which is necessary when the webs loosen and can no longer be tightened or screwed down. According to the invention, it is entirely possible to completely replace the very precisely manufactured insert ring together with the webs, which procedure is welcomed by the players and the operator and can be carried out in a very short time, since the insert ring is recessed into a recess in the roulette plate and fitted into it is screwed on.
  • the operator can be sure that a throw completely after statistical point of view, while the player is not irritated by large jumps and irregularities in the course of the ball.
  • the back or the back edge of the webs has a kink, the height of the outer back area (edge) running essentially constant and the height of the inner back area (edge) decreasing towards the inside, the kink angle between the two ranges in the range between 2 ° to 12 °, preferably between 4 ° to 10 °, in particular between 6 ° to 8 °.
  • the break point is in the range of 40 to 60%, preferably 45 to 55%, of the ring width from the outer web end or if the height of the webs in the outer region is 15 to 27%, preferably 18 to 24% , the width of the insert ring.
  • the web which is higher on the outside, gives the incoming ball a powerful impact, but at the same time causes the ball to "catch" well or prevents a ball from escaping from a field, even if it still has a certain not too high own speed relative to the roulette plate.
  • the back edges of the webs which drop inward from the point of inflection, allow a ball that has fallen onto the roulette cone to enter the fields fairly unhindered, so that jumping of the ball is largely avoided with such throws.
  • the webs are provided on both sides with inclined surfaces in their upper end region, the height profile of which lies in the outer region between 1 to 3 mm, preferably between 1.5 and 2.5 mm, and whose height profile in the inner region between 0.5 to 2.5, preferably between 1 to 2 mm, lies which inclined surfaces merge into one another, in particular with a surface intersection.
  • the inclined surfaces or bevels with the horizontal in the outer land area an angle between 40 ° to 50 °, preferably of about 45 °, and in the inner land area an angle between 30 ° to 40 °, preferably of about 35 ° , lock in.
  • the ridges integral with the insert ring have in their inner end region an inwardly directed nose with an upwardly rising underside, which rests on a rising annular surface of an annular projection of the roulette plate, or if that the outer end of the back edge of the webs is arranged at the same height with an inner edge of an inwardly falling ring surface of the roulette plate.
  • FIG. 1 shows a section through a roulette wheel according to the invention.
  • 2 shows an insert ring and
  • FIGS. 3 to 5 show different views of webs.
  • the roulette wheel 1 shows a schematic section through a roulette wheel 1.
  • the roulette wheel 1 comprises an essentially wooden base plate 2 with an essentially wooden circumferential edge part 17 which carries a top surface 16 in the upper end region, which limits the insertion surface 32 for the ball upwards.
  • a surface 33 adjoins the tread 32 at the bottom, on which deflection or impact bodies 18 are arranged, which are intended to make the running of the ball unpredictable.
  • a metallic roulette bowl 3 is inserted into this outer casing or the base plate 2, which advantageously consists of brass and is screwed onto the base plate 2 by means of screws 34. Care is taken to ensure that the base plate 2 or the roulette wheel 3 are set up horizontally, all the more so to ensure an exact run of the roulette plate 4.
  • the roulette plate 4 is rotatably supported with a bearing unit 19 and a bearing ball 20 on the surface 40 of a journal 8 and by means of bearings 7 on its circumferential surface.
  • the bearing pin 8 is formed in one piece with a flange part 9, which has a circular circumference and is inserted in a recess 35 in the roulette wheel 3 and is fastened with screws 15.
  • a truncated cone 6, preferably made of wood, is arranged between the inner part 36 of the roulette plate 4 surrounding the pin 8 and a circumferential, annular projection 22 on the roulette plate 4.
  • the roulette plate 4 can be closed off and embellished by means of decorative components 37.
  • the cone 6 is fastened to the roulette plate 4 with screws 14.
  • the roulette plate 4 carries at its end a cover plate 13, which is fastened with sealable screws 12 to the roulette plate 4, in particular to protect screws 11 against manipulation with which an insert ring 5 arranged in a recess 21 in the roulette plate 4 is screwed onto the roulette plate 4 is.
  • This insert ring is formed in one piece with webs 10 which laterally limit the fields 39 of the roulette plate 4.
  • the webs 10 have parallel wall surfaces.
  • FIGS. 3 to 5 shows a plan view of the insert ring 5, which is sunk into the recess 21 of the roulette plate 4 and fastened with the screws 11.
  • the radially extending webs 10 are shown in more detail in FIGS. 3 to 5.
  • the back edge of the web 10 has a kink 28, so that the web 10 is divided into an outer, higher section and an inner section with a sloping back edge 30.
  • the angle A between the back edge 24 in the outer area and the back edge 25 in the inner area is 2 ° to 12 °.
  • the outer end of the back edge 24 is at the same height as the inner edge of a circumferential ring surface 23 of the roulette plate 4.
  • the inner back edge runs into a nose 31 and goes over an angle E , which is approximately 40 to 50 °, into an outwardly sloping annular surface of a circumferential projection 22.
  • the back area of the webs 10 is beveled on both sides with inclined surfaces 26 and 27, the angle B between the inclined surfaces 26 and the horizontal lies between 40 to 50 ° and the angle C between the inclined surfaces 27 and the horizontal lies between 30 and 40 °. 4 that the nose 31 terminates at an angle D of approximately 50 to 70 °, preferably approximately 60 °.
  • the underside of the nose 31 is provided with a rising inclined surface 38, the inclination of this inclined surface corresponding to the inclination of the surface of the circumferential projection 22, so that there is a full contact.
  • the inclined surfaces 26 and 27 merge into each other with a surface intersection 28 and correspondingly extending edges 30, so that an optically attractive design of the bevels is also ensured.
