Definitions

  • the invention relates to gaming or gaming machines.
  • it relates to a method for providing a skill request for slot machines or gaming machines, a use of this method and a device, a gaming machine and a device according to the preambles of the independent claims.
  • roller slot machines became known decades ago - because of the lever for operation at that time - under the name "one-armed bandits”.
  • Roller slot machines are based, for example, on three rollers, on each of which a large number of graphic motifs are distributed in the circumferential direction. There are correspondences of motifs on the three different reels.
  • the reels rotate for a certain time, for example at different speeds.
  • the motifs visible in a common display field - one per reel - correspond to each other or a certain one Having patterns, the player has won and, for example, receives a multiple of his bet paid out as a win.
  • Such a reel slot machine offers pure gambling. This is unsatisfactory for several reasons. Skill games are in many ways more appealing and more meaningful, they stimulate and are more fun because you can influence your luck and, if successful, have a reason to be proud. Even in pure gambling, experienced players cannot take advantage of their experience. Finally, there is a tendency in the legislation - probably not least for the above reasons, and also because of the addiction risk of pure games of chance - towards the prohibition of pure gaming machines. But it would be a shame and also not sensible if roller machines and other machines would die out for the above reasons.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of offering technical solutions to the above problem area and, in particular, of making available a method, a use of this method and a device which allow the full use and integration of the attractive attributes of a roller, video monitor or other money-winning machine and nevertheless enable a game of skill.
  • the invention is essentially characterized in that a prerequisite data record, for example a time account, is provided. This is provided with the quantitatively recorded results of a game of skill.
  • the prerequisite. Data set serves as the input data set determining the game options for a money-winning game.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic representation of elements of a gaming machine
  • a slot machine has an ATM machine front face 1.
  • the version shown here relates to an automatic roller machine, but it would just as well be possible to use any other cash machine which is known per se and is additionally provided with the features according to the invention and described here by way of example.
  • a display window 3 is visible on this front surface, through which a peripheral section of three rollers can be seen, a motif 5 being visible on each roller through the window. There may be fewer or more than three rollers.
  • On the front surface 1 there are also operating elements 7 for the automated teller machines.
  • the inventive gaming machine or slot machine also has a device for determining a prerequisite data record by means of a skill game and for forwarding this data record to the automated teller machine.
  • This device is preferably in one with the automated teller machine Integrated slot machines.
  • an internal interface as a communication module provides a connection between the device and the automated teller machine.
  • the device can also be created externally and connected to the automated teller machine via an external interface of a communication module. It has a control panel 11 which is preferably (and not shown in FIG. 1) integrated in the front surface 1.
  • the control panel has an alphanumeric display 13 with display sectors 15.
  • An operating key 17 is assigned to each display sector.
  • the control key 17 is located above the display sector 15, but it can just as well be arranged differently, and in particular the control key can contain the display sector.
  • the operating key does not have to be a key in the actual sense, it can also be designed as a touch surface of a touch sensor or as some other operating element.
  • the device also has a timer 19 and a memory 21.
  • the method is described below, reference being made in part to FIG. 2.
  • the method is controlled, for example, by a computer program implemented in software or hardware.
  • a time account is set up.
  • One such example is as .
  • Part of the electronic or magnetic data memory 21 is formed.
  • the memory can also be designed in a different way, for example in the form of an optical data memory or in the form of a mechanical memory (for example as a flywheel) or the like.
  • the content of the time account is then determined (determination of the season). This can be done, for example, by a process that gives the user the opportunity a game of skill. In the example corresponding to FIG. 1, this would proceed as follows:
  • Time indications are shown on the alphanumeric display 13 on several (but not all), randomly distributed display sectors 15. It can be provided, for example, that three display sectors 15 each receive a time indication 16, e.g. 4 s, 2 s and 1 s in any distribution and order. It can be provided that the time information is predetermined and only the distribution of the time information on display sectors 15 varies from use to use. However, the times and their number can just as well vary from time to time, this can happen at random or based on specified parameters.
  • the timer means ie the timer 19, provides him with a time interval which begins when the time information appears.
  • the timer means works in the same way as a stopwatch.
  • an acoustic and / or optical signal (eg a traffic light turns red) can signal the end of the time interval to the user.
  • the control buttons are deactivated, ie pressing them again has no consequences.
  • there are other possible processes for determining a time account content For example, a sequence of illuminated sectors can appear on a control panel. The user must then press control buttons assigned to the sectors in the same sequence. The further he gets, ie the faster and more skillfully he uses the keys, the more his time account is filled.
  • a sequence of reaction tests with ever shorter reaction times can also be provided: the longer the user "keeps up” and fulfills the requirements, the more time he gets on his account.
  • the responsiveness of the user his or her
  • any machine-compatible method used for skill games can in fact be used, reference being made here to the very extensive state of the art in this regard.
  • the time account will be used as a quasi-quantitative access authorization for the cash prize game.
  • Such a process can be carried out, for example, using an automatic roller machine discussed at the beginning or any other automatic cash machine. Instead of a sum of money - the more you pay, the longer you can play and try your luck - the time account now entitles you to access the gaming machine.
  • the user can play as long as his time account has not been used up (T> 0).
  • the time is debited from the account during the active game phases (T-).
  • the time account can be managed differently during a game of chance. For example, each game round can be selected in one unit length, the time account then fixes the number of game rounds. Alternatively, it can also be provided that the player can determine the length of a game run. For example. in a roller machine, the speed of rotation of the rollers in Compared to conventional roller machines, so that a skilled player can recognize a process and, depending on the one, can determine a favorable time for stopping the rollers. The longer he wants to wait, the more time is deducted from the time account. Provision can also be made for part of the time account to be used for special game features, for example for re-setting winnings requirements or for determining or increasing a maximum winnings.
  • the prerequisite data record it is not necessary for the prerequisite data record to have the form of a time account.
  • a points account or a start number account can also be provided.
  • a certain number of points entitles you to one or more activities.
  • One possibility is, for example, that a game can be played for a certain number of points.
  • points can also be provided to simplify the game, for increased chances of winning, as a bonus, as a wild card, etc.
  • the lottery or slot machine can also be implemented in many different ways. In addition to the options discussed above, the implementation as a video game machine should also be mentioned here.

Abstract

Selon l'invention, une demande d'adresse pour machines automatiques de jeu ou machines à sous est établie du fait qu'un compte-temps est placé dans une mémoire à jeu de données d'hypothèse. Les résultats d'un jeu d'adresse obtenus de manière quantitative sont stockés dans ledit compte-temps. Ce dernier sert à fournir l'autorisation d'accès quantitative à un jeu de hasard impliquant de l'argent, ce qui signifie que plus le compte-temps présente de temps disponible, plus un joueur peut actionner les machines à sous longtemps ou de manière répétée.
