Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for operating a game device of an amusement machine according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • the ball game device comprises a bowl-shaped recessed game kettle, which has an inwardly inclined, formed of a plurality of display panels display area and, on the inner circumference is adjacent, groove-shaped encircling ball track.
  • a permanent magnet arranged on a double arm is moved parallel to the web running surface.
  • the double arm is driven via a belt drive by a drive motor.
  • the device has the disadvantage that the outer peripheral side arranged digit ring is fixed and, secondly, that the rotating ball always remains in the ball track. Due to the rigid arrangement of the dial and the non-removable ball experienced the user of the amusement machine no roulette-specific gaming pleasure.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a game device that is vertically operable and conveys a roulettspiel ancient ceremonies ceremonies etc.
  • the inventive method for operating a game device has the advantage that visible to the player, the ball is automatically placed in the ball track and this subsequently moves opposite to the rotating dial rim. Continuous deceleration of the ball's orbital speed results in a game-like gaming sensation. In particular, this is underlined by the fact that the ball when reaching the target position immediately changes the direction of rotation and moves in synchronization with the target display field of the dial.
  • the free movement of the ball is additionally supported by the fact that the ball can be removed from the ball track by means of a power-operated pivotable ball catching device. With this device, the ball is also used again in the ball track.
  • An Indian FIG. 1 illustrated entertainment machine 1 comprises a on a bottom plate 2 vertically extending base housing 3, on which on a front side 4 a game device 5 enclosing housing part 6 is arranged.
  • the game device 5 is a vertically arranged roulette wheel.
  • the Roulettekessel comprises a arranged on an axis rotatable digit ring 7.
  • the digit ring 7 is circumferentially surrounded by a ball track 8.
  • the ball track 8 has a U-shaped cross-section.
  • the respective free leg end of the U-shaped profile of the ball track points in the direction of the front side 4.
  • a non-illustrated, driven by an actuator support arm is rotatably mounted on a horizontally arranged axis.
  • the support arm is arranged by mediation of a distance behind the ball track 8.
  • a permanent magnet is attached, which is associated with the ball track 8.
  • a ball conveyor 10 is provided in a region 9 of the ball track 8, a ball conveyor 10 is provided.
  • a microcomputer comprehensive control unit is arranged in the vertically extending base housing 3.
  • the control unit corresponds to a roulette control, of which in each case a drive motor for the digit ring 7, the support arm and the actuator for the ball conveyor 10 are activated.
  • FIG. 2 is designed as Roulettekessel game device 5 is shown in perspective.
  • a non-illustrated horizontal axis arranged axis of the digit ring 7 and a turnstile 11 is arranged.
  • the digit ring 7 is surrounded by the ball track 8.
  • the number ring 7 consists of 37 number fields, of which 18 number fields 12 red ground and 18 number fields 12 white ground are formed. A number field is green ground.
  • the number fields 12 are translucent illuminated.
  • the number ring 7 is surrounded by the circulating ball track 8.
  • the ball track 8 has a U-shaped cross-sectional area.
  • a pivotable ball mount 15 of a ball conveyor 10, not shown, is arranged.
  • sensors not shown in greater detail on the ball track side are arranged, which are in operative connection with the roulette control unit.
  • FIG. 3 the back of the designed as Roulettekessel game device 5 is shown in perspective.
  • the Roulettekessel is attached to a support frame 16.
  • the horizontal axis is fixed.
  • On the axis of the digit ring 7 and to the support arm 17 is rotatably arranged on the one hand.
  • the drive of the digit rim 7, as well as the support arm 17, takes place via an electric motor 18, 19 with the interposition of a gear 20, 21 and belt 22, 23.
  • the drive motor 18 is a DC motor with a rotary encoder with 12 pulses per revolution.
  • a zero position of the support arm 17 is a separate Detected light barrier, which is arranged in the ball track 8.
  • the drive of the digit ring 7 takes place with the DC motor 19, which is associated with a rotary encoder with 12 pulses per revolution.
  • a detection of the zero position of the digit ring 7 is detected by separate light barriers, which are attached to a motor mount.
  • the light barrier is connected to the roulette control unit.
  • the ball conveyor 10 comprises a bracket 24 fixed to the holder 24.
  • the holder 24 includes a shaft 25 on which two rotationally fixed two mutually parallel arranged support arms 26 are arranged at the free end of the ball holder 15 is attached.
  • an electromagnetic actuator 27 is arranged with gear.
  • the roulette control is activated by the control unit so that the actuator 27 is activated and the ball is transported into the ball track 8.
  • the roulette control unit subsequently activates the actuator 18 for the support arm 17.
  • the support arm 17 is moved to the ball holder 15, so that the ferromagnetic ball is now held by the arranged on the support arm 17 permanent magnet in the ball track 8.
  • the ball conveyor 10 is moved to its original position.
  • each of the roulette control unit of the drive motor 18, 19 of the support arm 17 and the digit ring 7 are started in the opposite direction.
  • a randomly determined by the control unit digit is passed over a serial interface for roulette control.
  • the roulette control after receiving the target digit continuously reduces the rotational speed of the support arm 17 until a predetermined minimum speed has been reached.
  • the desired target speed is maintained over a given period. Now reaches the ball the desired target number, the Roulette control will change the direction of rotation of the drive 18.
  • it is determined by the roulette control how many drive pulses have been transmitted to the drive motor 18 in order to achieve a direction change.
  • This number of drive pulses is the drive motor 18 subsequently supplied within a predetermined time window in addition to the required drive pulses, so that a synchronization between the target digit, the rotating digit ring 7 and the support arm 17 and thus the ball.
  • the bezel 7 and the support arm 17 is stopped at the same time after a predetermined time.
  • a speed control of the digit ring 7, as well as the support arm 17, takes place until the announcement of the target number to be achieved subsequently in the form of a speed control over time specifications.
  • the time between two or more pulses for driving the respective drive motor 18, 19 is measured by the roulette control unit and compared with a desired value.
  • the roulette control includes a control algorithm for adjusting the motor voltages. As a control algorithm Favor of a PI controller and / or PT1 controller is used. To decelerate the rotational speed of the support arm 17, the timing for the drive pulses of the drive motor 18, 19 are changed over a linear function over time.
  • the output pulses of the Roulette control are compared and counteracted in case of deviations.
  • the roulette control includes a control algorithm, e.g. B. PI controller, to adjust the motor voltage.
  • the current position of the support arm 17 and the digit rim 7 is determined by counting the pulses of the respective rotary encoder on the axes of the drive motors 18, 19.
  • the roulette control unit processes the pulses from the encoders to the displayable 37 fields. Achieving the random destination number for each game is recognized by the equality of the fields of digit ring 7 and support arm 17. For different positions, a corresponding offset is used.
  • the running into the target position is dependent only on the position of the support arm 17 and the dial rim 7 to each other, but not from the respective absolute position.
