Definitions
- the invention relates to a money-operated entertainment device with a symbol game device which displays a symbol combination indicating a profit or loss on rotating bodies behind associated reading windows, at least one additional prize game device in which a symbol game device in the symbol game profit can be played out or accumulated, at least one real money filling jackpot device designed as a collecting container which can be viewed from outside the entertainment device and which is triggered by the occurrence of certain events in the symbol game device and / or in the additional profit device.
- Game device can be filled with valuables, and a computer-controlled control unit for game sequence control.
- Such entertainment devices are known in a wide variety of embodiments. They comprise a symbol game device which generally has three circulating bodies which can be designed as rollers, disks, folding card carousels or the like.
- the revolving bodies have symbols on the surface which can be seen from the outside through a reading window.
- the circulating bodies are stopped one after the other and after all the circulating bodies have come to a standstill, the symbol combinations displayed in the reading windows indicate a gain or loss. In different amounts, money and / or point and / or special game winnings or the like are promised.
- known gaming machines often have a risk gaming facility as an additional profit gaming facility, which can be actuated via a button if a win has already been achieved.
- the profit already achieved and the achievable profit are optically highlighted on at least one risk conductor, which displays various profit values on profit display elements.
- a random generator in the gaming device decides whether the profit already achieved is lost or increased. When the profit is increased, it is displayed again as the profit achieved and the profit which can now be achieved is also highlighted again optically. The profit can be risked again by pressing the risk button.
- a risk game is carried out, a decision is usually made about an increase or total loss of the profit used.
- an additional profit game device in which display fields occupied with different profits light up randomly and a display field representing the profit achieved remains illuminated.
- a further game incentive with an additional possibility to win is represented by an additional game device in the form of a jackpot game device which is formed from a light bar comprising various profit display elements.
- the light bar of the jackpot game arrangement can, however, also consist of neutral illuminable display elements, each of which occurs when a win or one occurs Loss in the symbol game device and / or additional profit game device are illuminated in turn and trigger the additional profit when the light bar is fully illuminated.
- money-operated entertainment devices are known in which a collecting container, which is visible from the outside, of a jackpot designed as a real money filling jackpot device with valuables up to a predetermined or randomly determined total Amount from a value-specific stacking container of a money processing device is either computer-controlled directly or, depending on the occurrence of a specific event, is replenished in the symbol game device or the additional game device.
- These valuables are output as an additional profit from the collecting container when a filling level determined or determined in a random manner or when a certain event occurs in the symbol game device or in the additional game device.
- the additional winnings spent exceed the fixed, permissible total winnings. This is exceeded even further if a profit achieved in the normal game is spent in a game at the same time as an additional win.
- the object is achieved in that the real money filling jackpot device, designed as a collecting container, is computer-controlled by means of its reinterpretation with value amounts when certain winning or partial winning combinations occur in the symbol game device and / or certain losses or partial losses in the additional winning game device is cash, and the amounts of value accumulated in the real money filling jackpot device if at least one further specific winning or partial winning combination occurs in the symbol game device and / or a certain loss or partial loss in the additional winning Game facility not up to a predetermined total amount of winnings per game exceeding additional profit can be output computer-controlled by conversion into valuables.
- the player achieves a partial winning combination of, for example, "1.20-1.20-3.20" on the circulating bodies of the symbol game device, then for example the maximum amount DM 3.20 of the right circulating body of the symbol game device, or a partial amount of these, for example DM 2, - or DM 3, - transferred as a value or by converting them into valuables into the collecting container of the real money filling jackpot device, if this was not risked, for example, in a risk gaming facility If the further game of the players risks and loses a profit achieved in the symbol game device, for example DM 1.20 in the corresponding display field of a risk game device, then this loss is also made into the collecting container of the real money filling jackpot device as a value or by being converted into valuable objects If the player achieves a further profitable symbol combination in the subsequent game in the symbol game device, can n thus the jackpot is triggered by the issuance of valuables.
- the maximum amount DM 3.20 of the right circulating body of the symbol game device or a partial amount of these
- DM 3.20 from the normal game is in the symbol game facility and DM 1.20 from the lost risk game, ie DM 4.40 in the collection container, he does not receive the full amount of valuables in the amount of DM 4 , 40, but only a maximum of DM 4.00. This is the predetermined allowable total winnings that must not be exceeded. However, if the player had achieved a profit of DM 2.40 in the symbol game device, he would have won the real money filling in the collecting container.
- Jackpot facility contained total amount of DM 3.60 received as additional profit, since the permissible total amount of winnings within the game, which was triggered by the further winning symbol combination in the symbol game device, was not reached. This applies analogously to all possible combinations of winnings and partial winnings in the symbol game device or losses in one of the additional profit game devices. Special game winnings from the additional winnings game facilities are not affected by this.
- the real money filling jackpot device designed as a collecting container is according to the invention during a computer-controlled game series length when certain winning or partial winning combinations occur in the symbol playing device and / or certain losses or partial losses in the addition ⁇ computer-controlled profit game device can be replenished with value amounts by its reinterpretation, the beginning of the game series being initiated by the occurrence of one of these events, and the value amounts accumulated in the real money filling jackpot device are at least one white one when occurrence occurs Certain specific winning or partial winning combination in the symbol gaming device and / or a certain loss or partial loss in the additional winning gaming device as an additional profit in a game series not exceeding a predetermined total amount of winnings per game by converting into value counter results can be output under computer control.
- the collecting container of the real money filling jackpot device is filled within the game series length determined by the control unit of the entertainment device, but in principle according to the same principles described above.
- the filling process and the dispensing process for the valuables are determined and limited by computer control by the length of the game series, so that the player can only achieve additional winnings within this game series.
- the length of a game series can be predefined or controlled.
- the real money filling jackpot device consists of at least two collecting containers which are computer-controlled when certain winning or partial winning combinations occur in the symbol game device and / or certain losses or partial losses in the additional winning game device by means of their reinterpretation can alternately be filled with amounts of value, and the amounts of value accumulated in the collecting containers when at least one further specific winning or partial winning combination occurs in the symbol game device and / or a certain loss or partial loss in the additional winning game device as an additional profit not exceeding a predetermined total amount of winnings per game by being converted into valuable objects can be alternately computer-controlled output.
- the advantage of designing the real money filling jackpot device as two separate collecting containers is that one of the collecting containers can be filled up further while the other collecting container has already been filled, but has not yet been fully or partially paid out.
- a targeted regular or irregular replenishment of the several collecting containers which can be viewed from the outside, can take place in order to give the player the impression that the collecting containers are already very full and that the jackpot can be triggered soon. It is particularly preferred here that after emptying one of the collection containers, a certain minimum value is assigned to it under computer control, while the other collection container can be further filled with amounts of value.
- the collecting containers are, as it were, rocked up against one another with regard to their filling height, the respectively emptied collecting container being provided with a certain basic filling of value amounts, possibly in the form of valuable objects.
- the collection containers can be filled with different amounts of value both during basic filling after emptying and during the actual filling process.
- the object of the invention is alternatively achieved in an entertainment device of the type mentioned above in that the real money filling jackpot device consisting of at least one collecting container is caused by any events in the symbol game device and / or additional prize game device and / or manually up to one computer controlled specified level can be filled with amounts of value or objects of value, and the amounts of value or objects of value after reaching the level and if at least a certain winning or partial winning combination occurs in the symbol gaming device and / or a certain loss or partial loss in the additional winning gaming device as up to an additional profit not exceeding a predetermined total amount per game can be output in a computer-controlled manner.
- This solution according to the invention differs from the previous solutions in that, before there is any possibility of realizing an additional profit from the real money filling jackpot device, the collecting containers are previously computer-controlled or manually up to a certain filling level in the usual way be replenished.
- the gains or losses achieved in the symbol game device or additional profit game device are accumulated in the collecting container of the real money filling jackpot device. Only when a certain fill level has been reached in at least one of the collecting containers is it possible to achieve additional profit, as was explained above.
- the collecting containers of the real money filling jackpot device can be filled with amounts of value or objects of value up to a fixed or randomly determined filling level.
- the highest winning value in each case on one of the circulation bodies of the symbol game device of a winning or partial winning combination can tion as value or by coinage as objects of value in the collecting container or containers.
- the additional prize game device is a risk game device and / or a play device.
- the respective additional prize game device consists of a plurality of profitable individual display fields that can be illuminated.
- all or part of the losses achieved in the risk-tracking device are transferred into the collecting container or containers as valuable objects or by being converted as valuable objects. So if the player places e.g. If a profit of DM 1.80 in the symbol game device is lost in the risk game device and lost, this amount is transferred completely or, for example, only DM 1.00 into the real money filling jackpot device. The partial transfer of the loss makes the game happening more variable. The same applies if losses achieved in the play-out device are transferred in whole or in part as amounts of value or by means of coins as items of value into the collecting container or containers.
- a further embodiment of the invention consists in the fact that the occurrence of a particular winning or partial winning combination in the symbol game device or a certain loss or partial loss in the additional winning Game facility is displayed optically. This can be done, on the one hand, by arranging at least one indicator light on the front window of the entertainment device as a visual display, whereby the player is permanently informed about the occurrence of a certain event in the symbol game device or in the additional game device - is informed.
- at least one indicator light can also be assigned to each display field of the additional prize game device. That is to say, when a certain loss or partial loss occurs in the additional winnings game device, the corresponding display field is marked.
- an additional profit can be paid out of the real money filling jackpot device in different ways.
- the amounts of value or items of value accumulated in the real money filling jackpot device depending on the highest winning value, on one of the circulation bodies of the symbol game device, of a winning or partial winning combination as up to a predetermined total winning amount per Game or additional win not exceeding in a game series.
- the amounts of value or valuables accumulated in the real money filling jackpot device become dependent on the occurrence of a profit achieved in the normal game in the symbol game device and a further winning or partial winning combination in the symbol game device and / or Loss or partial loss in the additional prize game device as up to one a predetermined total amount of winnings per game or additional winnings not exceeding in a game series.
- the amounts or valuables accumulated in the collecting containers are paid out independently of the maximum achievable fill level of the real money filling jackpot device, the valuables being able to be dispensed at any fill level.
- the amounts or items of value accumulated in the collecting containers can be paid out in full or in part up to a predetermined total amount of winnings per game after the maximum achievable level of the real money filling jackpot device has been reached.
- each collecting container can be designed as a stacking tube for valuables.
- the amounts of value introduced into the real money filling jackpot device are converted and introduced as valuables into the collecting container which is visible from the outside, so that the player is constantly confronted with the stack of coins.
- each collecting container for receiving the valuables can be disc-shaped, box-shaped, drum-shaped or bowl-shaped.
- each collecting container can also be divided into at least two receiving chambers for the valuables, which, as described above, can be refilled differently.
