Definitions

  • Gaming, betting and / or entertainment device
  • the present invention relates to a gaming, betting and / or entertainment device, in particular coin and / or monetary value operable gambling or betting device, comprising a housing, a data processing unit accommodated in the housing, at least one display device for displaying game and / or Entertainment signals and arranged on the housing control device for device operation.
  • a gaming device of the type mentioned is known for example from WO 2005/041139 A1 or DE 200 00 990 U1. While the latter DE 200 00 990 U1 shows a roller-game device in which run in a display panel made of glass, the rotating lucky rollers with the symbols thereon, the former WO 2005/041139 A1 shows a screen device in which the display device two superposed, to each other includes obtusally inclined screens.
  • the device housing is regularly designed as a cabinet, wherein the display device is arranged in the upper half of the cabinet-shaped housing, while in a lower housing section the data processing unit or control device for Device control and possibly a payout to pay for a game profit are housed.
  • the operating device is provided regularly, which is connected to the control device and in addition to the control buttons for device control and money or monetary value input means may have. It is known to provide the cabinet-shaped device housing with a door which can be pivoted about an upright axis to gain access to the components arranged inside the housing (see WO 2005/041139).
  • EP 15 22 978 A1 it is known from EP 15 22 978 A1 to accommodate the cash input unit with banknote reader in a separate housing compartment, which can be screwed laterally to the main housing.
  • the main housing takes in a known manner in its lower portion of the data processing unit for device control and in an upper portion of the display device of the device. Between these two, the control panel is provided for game operation on the main body in a likewise known manner.
  • the separate accommodation of the cash input unit allows to provide them only when needed, but to omit them entirely in training the device without money input unit.
  • Such gambling devices are capable of improvement in several ways.
  • the known devices are not very flexible with regard to the display device or the cash dispenser and / or input device.
  • the cutouts in the upper half of the device housing specify the arrangement of the display means, such as screens or displays, before.
  • the present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide an improved game and / or entertainment device of the type mentioned, which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art and the latter further develops in an advantageous manner.
  • an improved gaming device is to be created, which is easy to configure individually according to customer requirements, facilitates maintenance and repairs and has easy portability.

  • the modular design of the device housing allows it to set up depending on the configuration request on the control or operating housing block different display device housing blocks.
  • a housing block with two mutually obtuse inclined screens as shown for example in WO 2005/041139, are placed.
  • a correspondingly differently designed second housing module can be placed thereon with display means pre-mounted thereon.
  • the second housing module which carries the respective display device, two mutually not inclined - A -
  • Include screens contain only a screen or have a field of view glass with behind arranged rotating gambling rollers to configure the device as a rolling device can. It is understood that combinations of screen and roller field of view are possible. Thanks to the modular design of the device housing, not only the manufacturing and assembly costs as well as the storage costs for the various device housings can be reduced, but also the ease of maintenance can be improved. If a game device breaks down, for example, in the area of the display device, the entire device does not have to be exchanged or the display device has to be removed and reinstalled locally. Rather, it can be removed from the housing device containing the display device and replaced by a new one.
  • the portability of the devices can be improved because the housing blocks with the pre-assembled electronic components can possibly be transported separately, if necessary.
  • a game device can be relatively easily reconfigured. If, for example, after a certain period in a casino from a device with only one screen, a double-screen device are made, only the second device module needs to be removed and replaced by a corresponding differently designed.

  • the aforementioned automatic adjustment of the driving of the device considerably simplifies the configuration of the device and enables a complete plug-and-play.
  • the automatic adjustment of the control need not be limited to the detected electronic component itself, but the data processing device can also change the control of other blocks depending on the respective detected block or adapt, for example, the control of the display device and / or the control and / or Change the assignment of the operating device depending on the respective detected electronic component.
  • a key assignment of the operating device can be adapted to the respectively connected and detected electronic component or, in the case of a touch screen, for example, provided for the operating device, a control panel mask suitable for the respectively recognized component can be generated and interrogated.
  • the modularity of the device housing does not only relate to the connectivity of several different display device modules.
