Definitions

  • the invention relates to a game device system with the generic features of claim 1.
  • a game device system is, for example, from the WO 94/11696 known, whereby for the organization of tournaments, especially on electronic darts, or to enable the Interaction of remote players suggested is, spatially separated play equipment by means of Connect remote data transmission and score displays sync to display the game results achieved.
  • Remote data transmission between the individual gaming devices is preferably carried out over the telephone network.
  • To the A central computer can also be used for remote data transmission Evaluation of the game results of all play equipment connected be.
  • a similar system for playing on multiple, removed entertainment devices set up from each other is from the WO 94/25928 known, wherein between the game devices bidirectional connecting line is provided.
  • the entertainment or play equipment via modem and Remote data transmission line connected or networked with each other.
  • the game-relevant Data can also be displayed directly on the other devices, comparing the results of the opponents and in the respective displays of the play equipment as total or subtraction results can be displayed.
  • This Game device system is especially for Entertainment device centers designed, the one and outgoing signals from the entertainment devices in question a central computer can be processed, so that a Central control and allocation of the used money stakes is made possible.
  • the Remote data transmission line also to a separate Personal computer of an operator who is connected Data evaluation directly possible at the machine operator.
  • the identification data are in the central computer individual players and their credit saved. Every player receives a card containing his identification, which he presents before Start of a game in a card reader of the gaming device introduces.
  • the calculator evaluates and after the credit check release the game results and determine one Winner. This information about the winner is then sent to the Data line fed to the individual play equipment and there displayed.
  • EP-A-0 015 081 is a game device system known, with several playground equipment over a Remote data transmission, for example a telephone line a central computer are connected. Starting from that The central computer sends program information to the individual game devices sent to the game variants to change. Remote data transmission can also do this be used that reached on the individual play equipment Send game results to the central computer, for example, the number of games, the frequency of winnings and the like on a single device.
  • the generic EP-A-0 620 688 is concerned with two-way cable television (CATV), including satellite TV or Pay TV should be understood.

  • “game opportunity generators” are connected to this network connected. These "game opportunity generators” are called Roulette table in an arcade using a camera is transferred and the game results are then transferred back be evaluated on the respective TV set.
  • EP-A-0 450 520 also describes only one Lottery terminal, with the winning numbers on a keyboard can be entered. These tip numbers are then over Phone line given to a data center and there registered. Then the winning numbers are drawn, which are then published or otherwise published. Of the The player must then put these winning numbers back into his device Enter so that he can see whether he has these numbers typed. From this it is obvious that the winning numbers are on the gaming device will not be retransmitted for display.
