Definitions

  • the invention is for an automatic dice game consisting of a rotating drum containing a number of dice which are visible to the player and which are provided with code carriers which work in conjunction with a code reader and an interface unit for reading the dice symbols, when the drum comes to a standstill, after which this information is compared with a predetermined winning combination.
  • U.K. patent 1,180,560 consisting of a frame, a body or basket capable of rotating on a shaft bearing in the frame, a means of propulsion for turning the body or basket, a number of dice bodies with code carriers and dice symbols and placed in the body, a code reader for reading the code carriers and installed between the frame and the rotating body or basket.
  • a frame 1 which by preference slopes backwards in which an axle 3 is mounted on ball bearings 2 to which a by preference octagonal drum 4 is fitted.
  • a gearwheel 5 is also mounted on said axis over which a toothed belt 6 runs which likewise runs over a toothed pinion 7 fixed on the shaft of an electrical motor 8 mounted on aforementioned frame 1.
  • the front of the drum is covered by a transparent wall 9 consisting of one or more parts which swing open.
  • a dice bed 10 is fitted in the drum in which te dice bodies 11 of several dice are caught and positioned next to one another when the drum 4 comes to rest. Furthermore at least one cord 12 is stretched across and inside the drum in order to give the dice bodies an extra turn when the drum is rotated.
  • each dice body 11 In each plane of each dice body 11 their is a panel 13 on which the values 1 to 6 are marked and to which a code carrier 14 is attached. Behind the drum 4 and on the frame 1 a code reader 15 is mounted for reading said code carriers 14 on the dice bodies through the drum wall 16 when the drum comes to a standstill.
  • An interface unit 17 operates in conjunction with said code reader 15 for capturing the signals transmitted by the code reader and converting these signals for a control card 18 of a control unit.
  • Detection strips 19 are fitted to the drum wall 16 which work in conjunction with an optical sensor 20 which gives a signal to the motor 8 for transforming the rotary motion into a delayed back and forth motion of the drum 4, which motion is limited by aforesaid detection strips 19.
  • a coin test unit 21 attends to the validation of the inserted coins in order to put the atuomatic game into motion by pressing a button 22.
  • the control card 18 coordinates the group of components constituting the game and the performance of the calculations.
  • a unit 23 displays the winning combinations of the dice game visually and a payment unit 24 pays the prize in the event of a win.
  • Other provisions include a unit 25 for the power supply and the conversion of mains voltage to low voltage, a unit 26 for the acceptance of coins, a unit 27 of limiting the number of rotations of the drum 4, a unit 28 for slowing the rotational speed of the drum 4, and a unit 29 for checking the received codes by the code reader 15 and the interface unit 17.
  • the coin When a coin is inserted in the coin insert of the dice game the coin is checked by the coin test units 21 and is stocked in a pay-out unit 24 after validation by unit 26.
  • the control card 18 of the control unit starts the electrical motor 8 and the drum 4 turns through a number of revolutions. Thereafter the combined action of the optical sensor 20 and the detection strips 19 causes the zero position of the drum to be detected, after which the control card 18 will cause the motor 8 to impart a slowed back and forth motion to the drum 4.
  • the dice bodies 11 fall into one or another position next to one another in the dice bed 10, after which the code reader 15 reads the code carriers 14 on the dice bodies, which are closest to the code reader 15.
  • the interface unit 17 connected to aforesaid code reader converts the signals received by the code reader into coded figures for control card 18.
  • the coded dice symbols are visible to the player through the transparent wall 9.
  • the drum 4 continues to move back and forth until the control card has received three different figures relating to the position assumed by the dice bodies 11, after which the drum 4 becomes stationary in its zero position. Afterwards the control card 18 checks the figure combination obtained against the predetermined winning figures. When these correspond the amount won is paid out by sending a signal to pay-out unit 24.
