Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Roulett, bestehend aus einem Sockel mit darüber vorspringender Stehachse, einem an der Stehachse drehbeweglich gelagerten Kessel mit einem vom Umfang her einfallenden, mit dem Zahlenband versehenen Bereich, an den sich ein abgesetzter Bereich anschließt, in dem durch radial verlaufende Stege die in ihrer Breite auf die Breite der Zahlenfelder des Zahlenbandes ausgelegten Fangnischen für die Roulettkugel ausgebildet sind, deren auf das Zentrum orientierte Begrenzung durch den auf dem Kessel aufsitzenden Hut gebildet wird. Ein solches Roulett ist der AT 396 069 B zu entnehmen.The invention relates to a roulette, consisting of a base with a projecting standing axis, a kettle rotatably mounted on the standing axis with a circumferentially falling area provided with the number range, to which a stepped area adjoins, in which the radially extending webs The width of the catch niches designed for the roulette ball is based on the width of the number fields of the number band, the center-oriented boundary of which is formed by the hat sitting on the kettle. Such a roulette can be found in AT 396 069 B.

Bei diesem Glücksspiel markieren die Zahl und/oder die Farbe des Zahlenfeldes des in der Regel 37 Zahlenfelder aufweisenden Zahlenbandes, das der Fangnische zugeordnet ist, in das die gegenläufig zum in Drehung versetzten Roulettkessel in Umlauf gebrachte Roulettkugel letztlich fällt, die Gewinnsituation. Bei anhaltend gleichbleibenden Spielbedingungen besteht bei hinreichender Spieldauer für alle Plazierungen die gleiche Chance, zum Gewinn zu führen. Wird demnach über einen längeren Zeitraum ein Zahlenfeld nicht angespielt, besteht für dieses Zahlenfeld eine zunehmend größere Wahrscheinlichkeit, in der Folge angespielt zu werden. Das machen sich Profi-Spieler zunutze, indem sie einen Spieltisch über einen längeren, sich möglicherweise sogar über Tage und Wochen erstreckenden Zeitraum unter Kontrolle nehmen und registrieren, welches bzw. welche Zahlenfelder überhaupt nicht oder nur begrenzt angespielt wurden. Diese Profi-Spieler gehen anschließend beim möglicherweise dann auch wiederholten Setzen auf die im zurückliegenden Spielzeitraum vernachlässigten Zahlenfelder ein geringeres Risiko ein.In this game of chance, the number and / or the color of the number field of the band of numbers, which generally has 37 number fields and which is assigned to the catch niche in which the roulette ball that is brought into circulation in the opposite direction to the rotating roulette wheel ultimately falls, mark the winning situation. If the game conditions remain constant and there is sufficient playing time, there is an equal chance of winning for all positions. Accordingly, if a number field is not scanned over a longer period of time, there is an increasingly greater probability for this number field to be scanned subsequently. Professional players take advantage of this by taking control of a gaming table over a longer period of time, which may even span days and weeks, and registering which or which number fields were not or only partially used. These professional players then take a lower risk when betting on the number fields that were neglected in the previous game period.

Aus den Unterlagen zum DE-GM 1 998 918 ist ein roulettartiges Spielgerät zu entnehmen, dessen sogenannter mit dem Kessel eines Rouletts vergleichbarer Läuferscheibe ein auswechselbares Ringteil zugeordnet ist, in dem das Zahlenband und die Fangnischen zusammengefaßt sind, womit die Möglichkeit eröffnet wird, verschiedene Läuferscheiben mit unterschiedlichen Teilungen einzusetzen. Nicht möglich ist hierbei eine Veränderung der Zuordnung der Fangnischen zu den Zahlenfeldern des Zahlenbandes.From the documents relating to DE-GM 1 998 918, a roulette-type game device can be found, the so-called rotor disc of which is comparable to the kettle of a roulette, and which is assigned an interchangeable ring part, in which the number band and the catch niches are combined, thus opening up the possibility of different rotor discs with different pitches. It is not possible to change the assignment of the catch niches to the number fields of the number range.

Der Erfinder hat sich vor diesem Hintergrund die Aufgabe gestellt, diese Möglichkeit des Abschätzens der Gewinnchancen durch Profi-Spieler zu begrenzen.Against this background, the inventor set himself the task of limiting this possibility for professional players to estimate the chances of winning.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß bei einem gattungsgemäßen Roulett dadurch gelöst, daß das Zahlenband einem eigenständigen, auf dem Boden des Kessel aufsitzenden, gegenüber dem Boden des Kessels in Umfangsrichtung unter Einwirkung von außen gegen Selbsthemmung verlagerbaren Ringes zugeordnet wird. Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen 2 bis 17.The object is achieved in a generic roulette in that the number band is assigned to an independent, seated on the bottom of the boiler, relative to the bottom of the boiler in the circumferential direction under the action of outside against self-locking ring. Embodiments of the invention result from subclaims 2 to 17.

Bei diesem Roulett wird der das Zahlenband aufweisende Ring nach einer gewissen Spieldauer, etwa am Ende eines Spieltages, gegenüber dem Kessel in Umfangsrichtung um einen ein oder mehrere Zahlenfelder des Zahlenbandes abdeckenden Bereich verlagert, woraus eine Änderung der Zuordnung der Zahlenfelder zu den Fangnischen für die Roulettkugel resultiert. Damit wird Profi-Spielern die Chance genommen, durch eine sich über einen längeren Zeitraum fortsetzende Beobachtung des Spielverlaufs herauszufinden, welchen Zahlenfeldern, konkret welchen Fangnischen, bei den folgenden Spielen größere Gewinnchancen zukommen.In this roulette, after a certain playing time, for example at the end of a game day, the ring having the number band is shifted in relation to the circumference of the kettle by an area covering one or more number fields of the number band, resulting in a change in the assignment of the number fields to the catch niches for the roulette ball results. This means that professional players are deprived of the opportunity to find out which number fields, specifically which catch niches, have greater chances of winning in the following games by observing the course of the game over a longer period of time.

Der mit dem Zahlenband versehene Ring kann mit dem Boden des Kessels unlösbar zusammengefaßt sein. Das schließt eine lösbare Zusammenfassung des Ringes mit dem Boden nicht aus, die sich dann ergibt, wenn die den Ring durchsetzenden Bohrungen, in denen sich die den Ring mit dem Boden zusammenfassenden Kugeln führen, durch Madenschrauben verschlossen werden. Damit wird die Möglichkeit eröffnet, die zwischen Ring und Boden ausgebildete Laufbahn des Ringes im Bedarfsfall zu reinigen.The ring provided with the number band can be permanently combined with the bottom of the boiler. This does not preclude a releasable combination of the ring with the bottom, which results when the holes passing through the ring, in which the balls which bring the ring together with the bottom lead, are closed by grub screws. This opens up the possibility of cleaning the ring's raceway formed between the ring and the bottom if necessary.

In der Zeichnung ist die Erfindung weitergehend erläutert. Die Zeichnung zeigt einen die Details der Erfindung wiedergebenden Ausschnitt aus einem Roulett.The invention is further explained in the drawing. The drawing shows a section of a roulette showing the details of the invention.

Mit 12 ist die sich in der Vertikalen erstreckende, am Sockel 11 des Rouletts gelagerte Achse bezeichnet, um die der sich daran über Kugellager 121, 121' vertikal und radial abstützende Kessel rotiert. Der eigentliche, erfindungsgemäß zweiteilig ausgebildete Kessel setzt sich zusammen aus dem Boden 21 mit seiner sich auf der Achse 12 führenden Nabe 211 und einem am Umfang des Bodens auf dem Boden 21 aufsitzenden, das Zahlenband 221 tragenden Ring 22. Bestandteil des Bodens 21 bleibt ein von dem am Boden 21 angesetzten, das Zahlenband 221 tragenden Ring 22 umgebener Ringbereich 24, in dem die Fangnischen 241 für die Roulettkugel ausgebildet sind. An diesem Ring 24 stützt sich der sogenannte, das vom Ring 24 umgebene Innere des Rouletts überdeckende Hut 26 ab, der von der vom Kesselboden 21 ausgehenden Nabe 211 durchsetzt ist. Festgelegt ist der Hut 26 gegenüber dem Boden 21 durch eine in Gewindeeingriff mit der Nabe 211 befindliche, gegen den Hut 26 zur Anlage kommende Mutter 213.The axis 12, which extends in the vertical direction and is mounted on the base 11 of the roulette, is designated by which the boiler rotates vertically and radially by ball bearings 121, 121 '. The actual boiler, which is designed in two parts according to the invention, is composed of the base 21 with its hub 211, which is guided on the axis 12, and a ring 22, which rests on the circumference of the base on the base 21 and carries the number band 221. Part of the base 21 remains a the ring region 24, which is attached to the bottom 21 and surrounds the ring 22 carrying the number band 221, in which the catch niches 241 for the roulette ball are formed. The so-called hat 26, which covers the inside of the roulette and is surrounded by the ring 24, is supported on this ring 24 and is penetrated by the hub 211 extending from the bottom 21 of the bowl. The hat 26 is fixed relative to the base 21 by a nut 213 which is in threaded engagement with the hub 211 and comes to bear against the hat 26.

Der mit dem Zahlenband 221 versehene Ring 22 führt sich mit einer über seine Unterseite 222 vorspringenden Schulter 223 in einen am Kesselboden 21 ausgebildeten Rücksprung 212 unter Belassung geringen Spiels s. Das Spiel s resultiert aus einer Fixierung des Ringes 22 gegenüber dem Kesselboden 21 in Gestalt einer an der Innenwandung des Rücksprungs 212 des Kesselbodens 21 ausgebildeten umlaufenden Kehle 214, in die sich in den bodenseitigen Überstand 223 (die Schulter) des Ringes 22 durchsetzenden Radialbohrungen 224 führende Kugeln 226 unter der Einwirkung einer sich an einem die Bohrung 224 zusetzenden Stopfen 227 abstützenden Feder 228 begrenzt einfügen, ein Lösen des Ringes 22 vom Kesselboden 21 verhindernd.The ring 22 provided with the number band 221 leads, with a shoulder 223 projecting over its underside 222, into a recess 212 formed on the boiler bottom 21, leaving little play s. The game s results from a fixation of the ring 22 with respect to the boiler bottom 21 in the form of a circumferential groove 214 formed on the inner wall of the recess 212 of the boiler bottom 21, into which radial bores 224 penetrating into the bottom overhang 223 (the shoulder) of the ring 22 Balls 226 are inserted under the action of a spring 228, which is supported on a plug 227 plugging the bore 224 to a limited extent, preventing the ring 22 from detaching from the boiler bottom 21.

In der Unterseite 222 des den Zahlenkranz 221 tragenden Ringes 22 sind des weiteren auf einer Kreisbahn liegend in Abständen Aufnahmen 229 ausgebildet, die jeweils in der Flucht einer Teilung 221' des Zahlenkranzes 221 liegen, wobei die Anzahl der Aufnahmen 229 vorzugsweise der Anzahl der Teilungen entspricht. In diese Aufnahmen 229 fügen sich sich in auf einer entsprechenden Kreisbahn den Kesselboden 21 durchsetzenden Bohrungen 215 führende Kugeln 216 unter der Einwirkung einer sie hinterfangenden, sich an einem die Bohrung 215 zusetzenden Stopfen 217 abstützenden Feder 218 ein. Die so ausgebildeten Rasten 216, 229 stellen einerseits die definierte Zuordnung des Ringes 22 zum Kesselboden 21 dergestalt sicher, daß die Zahlenfelder des Bestandteil des Ringes 22 bildenden Zahlenbandes 221 eindeutig am die am Kesselboden 21, speziell am auf den Boden aufsitzenden Ring 24, ausgebildeten Fangnischen 241 orientiert sind, andererseits ermöglichen sie in der gewünschten Weise die Verlagerung des Ringes 22 gegenüber dem Kesselboden 21 im Sinne des Doppelpfeiles A, wodurch die Zuordnung der Zahlenfelder zu den Fangnischen verändert wird. Unterhalb des Hutes 26 befindet sich eine den Kesselboden 21 durchsetzende Bohrung 219, auf einem entsprechenden Umkreis sind im Sockel ein oder mehrere Sacklöcher 111 vorgesehen.In the underside 222 of the ring 22 carrying the number ring 221, receptacles 229 are further formed lying on a circular path at intervals, each of which is in alignment with a division 221 ′ of the number ring 221, the number of receptacles 229 preferably corresponding to the number of divisions . In these receptacles 229, balls 216 are inserted in bores 215 passing through the bottom of the boiler 21 on a corresponding circular path under the action of a spring 218 trailing behind them and supported on a plug 217 which closes the bore 215. The detents 216, 229 designed in this way, on the one hand, ensure the defined assignment of the ring 22 to the boiler bottom 21 in such a way that the number fields of the number band 221 forming part of the ring 22 clearly on the catch niches formed on the boiler bottom 21, especially on the ring 24 seated on the bottom 241 are oriented, on the other hand they enable the ring 22 to be displaced in the desired manner relative to the boiler bottom 21 in the sense of the double arrow A, as a result of which the assignment of the number fields to the catch niches is changed. Below the Hutes 26 has a bore 219 passing through the bottom 21 of the boiler, one or more blind holes 111 are provided in a corresponding circumference in the base.

Die Erfindung soll also eine Verlagerung des an seiner Oberseite mit dem Zahlenband 221 versehenen Ringes 22 gegenüber dem Kesselboden 21 mit dem auf ihm aufsitzenden Ring 24 auf dem die Fangnischen 241 ausgebildet sind, im Sinne des Doppel-pfeiles A ermöglichen. Hierfür wird nach Lösen der Mutter 213 und Abnehmen des Hutes 26 ein Steckbolzen die oder eine der im Kesselboden 21 befindliche Bohrungen 219 durchsetzend in das bzw. eines der im Sockel 11 ausgebildeten Sacklöcher 111 eingeführt, so den Kesselboden 21 gegenüber dem Sockel 11 festlegend. Nunmehr läßt sich der das Zahlenband 221 tragende Ring 22 gegenüber dem Kesselboden 21 unter Überwinden des von den hinter den sich in die Aufnahmen 229 an der Unterseite des Ringes 22 einfügenden Kugeln 216 befindlichen Federn 218 herrührenden Federdrucks im Sinne des Doppelpfeiles A gegenüber dem Kesselboden 21 verlagern, so eine Änderung der Zuordnung der Zahlenfelder des Zahlenbandes 221 zu den Fangnischen 241 herbeiführend. Anschließend wird der den Kesselboden 21 gegenüber dem Sockel 11 festlegende Steckbolzen wieder gezogen und der Hut 26 wieder angesetzt sowie mit der Mutter 213 gegenüber dem Kesselboden 21 festgelegt. Das Roulett ist nunmehr bei geänderter Zuordnung der Zahlenfelder zu den Fangnischen wieder spielbereit.The invention is thus intended to enable the ring 22 provided with the number band 221 on its upper side to be displaced relative to the boiler bottom 21 with the ring 24 seated thereon on which the catch niches 241 are formed, in the sense of the double arrow A. For this purpose, after loosening the nut 213 and removing the hat 26, a plug pin or one of the bores 219 located in the boiler base 21 is inserted into the or one of the blind holes 111 formed in the base 11, thus fixing the boiler base 21 relative to the base 11. Now the ring 22 carrying the number band 221 can be displaced relative to the boiler bottom 21 with respect to the boiler bottom 21 while overcoming the spring pressure originating from the springs 218 behind the balls 216 inserted into the receptacles 229 on the underside of the ring 22 in the sense of the double arrow A. , thus causing a change in the assignment of the number fields of the number band 221 to the catch niches 241. Subsequently, the socket bolt fixing the boiler bottom 21 relative to the base 11 is pulled again and the hat 26 is reattached and secured with the nut 213 relative to the boiler bottom 21. The roulette is now ready to play again when the number fields have been assigned to the catch niches.

Mit 112 ist eine am Sockel 11 ausgebildete Einfassung bezeichnet, die den Kessel, also den Kesselboden 21 mit dem ihm zugeordneten, das Zahlenband aufweisenden Ring 22, vollständig umgibt. In dieser Einfassung 112 befindet sich mindestens ein Durchgang 113, durch den die den bodenseitigen Überstand 223 des das Zahlenband aufweisenden Ringes 22 durchsetzenden Bohrungen 224, speziell die Bohrungen zusetzenden Madenschrauben (227) bei entsprechender Orientierung des Ringes 22 auf die Durchgänge 113 zugänglich sind.Designated at 112 is a skirt formed on the base 11, which completely surrounds the kettle, that is to say the kettle bottom 21 with the ring 22 associated with it and having the number band. In this enclosure 112 there is at least one passage 113 through which the base 223 of the ring 22 having the number band has the overhang penetrating bores 224, especially the grub screws (227) plugging the bores with appropriate orientation of the ring 22 on the passages 113 are accessible.
