Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lock cylinder for a gaming machine and a method of controlling a lock cylinder for a gaming machine.
  • the present invention also relates to a gaming machine.
  • Gaming machines of the generic type generally have a machine housing with a base body and a door arrangement, the machine housing often having a play mechanism with, for example, circulating bodies or the like carrying winning symbols and serving to notify the winners.
  • the machine housing usually houses safety-critical components such as a cash box, a controller and various service modules.
  • safety-critical components such as a cash box, a controller and various service modules.
  • lock cylinders usually up to four lock cylinders
  • slot machines in particular cash-operated slot machines with a profit promising for the user, are repeatedly exposed to criminal activities, so that the security of the locking systems themselves but also the controllability and transparency of the service processes are critical. For example, when a plurality of machine modules or a plurality of service personnel are involved, there may be difficulties in verifying the identity of the persons who are permitted access to the interior of a gaming machine.
  • gaming machines are provided with simple safety devices.
  • gaming machines of the type mentioned at the beginning often have simple locks with purely mechanical lock cylinders which have mechanical tumbler pins and can be unlocked by means of a mechanical key.
  • Such a mechanical lock cylinder is from the publication, for example EP 1 482 109 A2 known.
  • Such security devices have the decisive disadvantage that they can be opened easily, for example by using force or by replicating duplicate keys or other auxiliary tools, so that unauthorized persons can easily gain access to the interior of the gaming machine.
  • the latter is to be considered against the background that the lock cylinders built into conventional gaming machines are due to the limited space available characterized by their small, filigree design.
  • a lock cylinder for a gaming machine having an electromechanical locking device and a mechanical locking device.
  • the electromechanical locking device and the mechanical locking device can be unlocked in order to unlock the lock cylinder.
  • a lock cylinder can be understood to mean that part of a cylinder lock that is to be actuated by means of a key and / or an electronic access authorization, which, as is known, consists of a housing and a rotatable cylinder core.
  • the verification of the electronic access authorization is preferably carried out using an electronic identifier (e.g. in the form of a mobile transponder as an RFID data carrier, NFC data carrier or the like) in which the data relevant for checking the access authorization (identification code or access authorization code) is stored in electronic form .
  • the electronic access authorization can also be checked using a mobile phone (smartphone) or a portable computer (PDA or tablet computer).
  • the lock cylinder has a combined mechanical and electromechanical locking device.
  • the electromechanical locking device In order to be able to release or unlock the locking cylinder as a whole, the electromechanical locking device must accordingly also be unlocked in addition to the mechanical locking device.
  • the combined arrangement of the mechanical and electromechanical locking devices in a lock cylinder enables existing gaming machines to be retrofitted without structural modifications and, due to the additionally provided electromechanical locking device, offers an additional security measure against unauthorized actions.
  • a gaming machine which has a plurality of lock cylinders, each with an electromechanical locking device and a control device, the control device having at least one Lock cylinder of the plurality of lock cylinders selectively releases based on an electronic access authorization check.
  • the gaming machine identified according to the second aspect has a plurality of lock cylinders in order to regulate access to the gaming machine itself and to the components housed in the gaming machine (e.g. cash box, control, service modules). Furthermore, a control device of an electronic type is provided. The access authorization check is similar to authentication. As soon as an identification code is accepted by the electronic control device, the power supply to an electromechanical drive can be switched through, for example via a circuit breaker, so that this causes the electromechanical locking device to be released. When the electromechanical locking device is released, the lock cylinder can be locked or unlocked, for example, by means of an actuating element (handle, preferably a knob or the like).
  • an actuating element handle, preferably a knob or the like.
  • a method for controlling a lock cylinder for a gaming machine having an electromechanical locking device and a mechanical locking device, the electromechanical locking device and the mechanical locking device being unlocked in order to release the lock cylinder.
  • a method for controlling a lock cylinder for a gaming machine having an electromechanical locking device, the electromechanical locking device being optionally unlocked based on an electronic access authorization check in order to release the locking cylinder.
  • the lock cylinder has evaluation electronics for recognizing an access authorization.
  • the evaluation electronics are optionally connected to an identifier (e.g. a smartphone or tablet, a transponder, etc.) by means of a wireless or radio connection.
  • an identifier e.g. a smartphone or tablet, a transponder, etc.
  • authentication data or the electronically readable code can be supplied wirelessly via the identifier (or alternatively via electronic contacts) to the evaluation electronics and processed further.
  • the wireless communication between the evaluation electronics and the identifier for authenticating the authorization request can take place, for example, via Bluetooth or other wireless transmission techniques.
  • the identification carrier can be authenticated by means of BLE authentication (“Bluetooth Low Energy”).
  • the electromechanical locking device interacts with the evaluation electronics.
  • the operative connection is such that the evaluation electronics controls the electromechanical locking device after successful authentication of an access authorization request in such a way that the electromechanical locking device can be locked or unlocked.
  • the electromechanical locking device has an electromechanically driven locking or coupling element which can be moved between a locking position in which the electromechanical locking device is locked and a release position in which the electromechanical locking device is unlocked .
  • the locking or coupling element is actuated by an electromechanical actuator and in this way enables the electromechanical locking device to be locked or unlocked. It can be provided that the locking or coupling element interacts with a coupling mechanism provided in the electromechanical locking device, so that the electromechanical locking device can be optionally unlocked depending on the position.
  • the locking or coupling element can, for example, along an axis of rotation of the cylinder housing between the locking position and the release position be reciprocated to selectively cooperate with the clutch mechanism for releasing the electromechanical locking device. This configuration enables a compact and secure construction of the lock cylinder.
  • the electromechanical locking device in the release position is decoupled from a cylinder housing of the lock cylinder and the mechanical locking device is coupled to the electromechanical locking device.

  • the electromechanical locking device In the release position, the electromechanical locking device is released from the cylinder housing of the lock cylinder. At the same time, in the release position, the mechanical locking device is in engagement with the electromechanical locking device, so that the lock cylinder can now be released by unlocking the mechanical locking device.
  • the electromechanically driven locking or coupling element can be moved from the locking position into the release position when the access authorization has been granted.
  • the term "completed access authorization” is to be understood as meaning that the authentication of an identifier has been carried out successfully.
  • the release of the electromechanical locking device is therefore only possible after the authorization request has been authenticated. Accordingly, a person who only has an actuator or a key for unlocking the mechanical locking device, but is not authorized to access, fails to attempt to unlock the lock cylinder.
  • a lever or a locking element of the lock cylinder can only be turned when the electromechanical locking device and the mechanical locking device are unlocked.
  • the mechanical locking device is secured against rotation in this embodiment until the electromechanical locking device is released.
  • the locking cylinder can be secured against rotation, for example, optionally based on a position of the locking or coupling element or a configuration of the electromechanical locking device. This can increase the security of the lock cylinder.
  • the mechanical locking device can be unlocked with a key. It can be provided that a lever or a locking element of the lock cylinder can only be turned by means of the key when the electromechanical locking device and the mechanical locking device are unlocked.
  • the key also carries a code and thus represents a further security feature.
  • the mechanical locking device can be locked or unlocked by an actuating member (for example a handle, preferably a knob or the like). Only with unlocked electromechanical locking device and unlocked mechanical locking device it is then possible to use the key to move a lever or to move a locking element in order to bring about the desired opening.
  • the locking or coupling element is driven by an electric motor.
  • the electric motor can be designed as a linear motor, for example.
  • the electric motor can be designed as a three-phase motor.
  • the electric motor is a DC motor.

  • One advantage of this embodiment is that, depending on the security requirements placed on the gaming machines, locking cylinders with a combination of mechanical and electromechanical can be provided.
  • control device is connected wirelessly or wired to an electronic evaluation system for recognizing an access authorization, and that an electromechanically driven locking or coupling element of at least one lock cylinder of the plurality of lock cylinders from a locking position into a Release position is moved.
  • the release of the electromechanical locking device is therefore only possible after the authorization request has been successfully authenticated. Accordingly, a person who only has an actuator or a key for unlocking the mechanical locking device, but is not authorized to access, fails to attempt to unlock the lock cylinder.
  • the gaming machine furthermore has a voltage supply device with at least one battery, so that in the absence of an external voltage supply, a supply voltage for operating the control device is made possible.
