Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] Various electronic game devices have been developed.

Video games and the like can be said to be a type of electronic game device.

In recent years, mahjong tables have become mechanized and are now commercially available as automatic mahjong tables.

Mahjong tables are now equipped with electronic dice that are displayed using light-emitting diodes, etc., and the automatic mahjong table's tile arrangement device is also used to prevent problems with tile arrangement caused by dice, etc. other than mahjong tiles being mixed in. The electronic dice device is effective.

The present invention relates to an improvement of an automatic mahjong table equipped with the electronic dice device.

When playing a mahjong game, the position at which the tiles start to be dealt is determined by the number of dice rolled.
Regardless of people who play mahjong frequently, those who have been away from mahjong for a while, or who are beginners, cannot immediately tell from the number of dice where they should start dealing tiles.
It often happens that only the dice are counted sequentially.

In order to eliminate the above-mentioned trouble, the present invention uses an automatic mahjong table equipped with electronic dice, and uses optical means such as a light emitting diode to determine the position of the person who starts dealing tiles according to the number of days on the electronic dice. It is designed to notify you by lighting or blinking.

The mahjong table of the present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of the electronic mahjong table of the present invention, in which 1 is an electronic dice, 2 is an opening/closing lid, 31 to 34 are switches, and 41 to 44 are light emitting diodes.

5 is a circuit device that operates the switch and the light emitting diode.

The electronic dice 1 is operated and displayed by pressing any of the switches 31 to 34 corresponding to each person.

Light-emitting diodes at positions counted counterclockwise from the switch pressed at the same time by the number of numbers on the electronic dice are lit.

In the illustrated example, the number on the electronic dice indicates 8, so if the switch 31 is pressed, the light emitting diode 42 will light up and the person at that position will start dealing tiles.

An example of a circuit that performs this operation is shown in FIG.

In FIG. 2, 6 is an oscillator such as an astable multivibrator, and 31, 32, 33, and 34 are switches corresponding to those in FIG.

When the switch 31 is turned to the low potential side, the frequency of the oscillation circuit 6 is counted by the hexadecimal counter 9, and when the switch 31 is turned back, the frequency is stopped and the counted value at that time is displayed on the electronic dice 8 through the decoder 7.

When the switch 31 is returned, a signal is output from the tour gate 11,
A frequency is supplied to the ring counter 12, and the frequency is also supplied to the counter 13, and when it matches the count value of the hexadecimal counter 9, a match signal is output, and the frequency supply to the ring counter 12 is stopped.

In other words, if the number of electronic dice is 10, the ring counter 12 supplies 10 pulses to the ring counter and stops.
If the initial state is determined according to the pressed switch, the light emitting diodes 41, 42, 43, 44 corresponding to the pressed switch will be counted counterclockwise. The light emitting diode that counts the input frequency, ie, the number of numbers on the electronic dice, lights up.

As described above, the present invention has the effect of allowing the contest to be carried out smoothly as it becomes clear at a glance which contestant starts dealing tiles.
