Conventional manual roulette game methods that have been used for centuries have generally been performed by manually rolling a single ball, typically 19 mm to 25 mm in diameter, in the opposite direction of rotation of the roulette wheel. When a ball falls into a pocket of a number, the dealer recognizes the number with the naked eye and provides a predetermined dividend amount to a player who bets the number. This conventional one-ball roulette game method is an extremely simple table game that does not require special skills, and is especially used by beginners or female customers.

The conventional manual roulette game in which only one ball is used as described above uses a roulette game wheel (turn plate) in which numbers from 0 to 36 are regularly arranged. It is divided into European style with one number zero display and American style with two zero number displays.

1 is an exploded perspective view showing a conventional roulette wheel structure for a game. According to FIG. 1, a conventional roulette wheel 10 for a roulette game includes a bowl 11 for protecting rotation, a shaft 12 fixed to the center of the bowl 11, and the shaft 12. A housing 13 fitted in the center is formed at the center portion and rotates about the shaft 12, and wheels on which the number plates 19 to 0 to 36 are alternately arranged at equal intervals on the surface thereof. a separator (17) having a head (14), a pocket (16) mounted at the wheel head (14) and equidistantly spaced to seat the ball (18) for each number plate number position; An inclined inclined plate 15 mounted about the shaft 12 to allow the ball 18 to enter any of the pockets 16, and for physically rotating the wheel head 14 from the outside; Rotation knobs (not shown) or other rotation means.

2A and 2B show the arrangement and arrangement rules of the number numbers displayed on the surface of the conventional roulette wheel 10, the arrangements being numbers 0 to 36 at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the wheel head 14. Will be displayed. FIG. 2A shows a European roulette wheel having one digit zero indicator and thus has a total of 37 indicators. FIG. 2B shows a US roulette wheel having two digit zero indicators and thus has a total of 38 indicators.

As described above, the conventional manual roulette game in which the game is played in the European or American style with only one ball and the display of one or two numbers 0 has been used with almost the same rules for centuries. The conventional roulette game has a problem that the game is very monotonous and does not cause enough interest to players because the game is played using only one roulette ball. In addition, the conventional roulette game has a problem that does not fully satisfy the player's expectations for the probability of winning by using only one ball. That is, in the conventional roulette game, the player selects a number from 0 to 36, and the dealer or the player manually rolls the ball in the opposite direction to the roulette wheel which rotates one ball, so that the roulette wheel has a certain number of pockets. In the case of a single number bet, the European style has a 1/37 chance of winning and the American style has a 1/38 chance of winning. As a result, there is a disadvantage in that the player does not meet the full expectation of winning the roulette game. In addition, since the conventional roulette game uses only one ball to have a uniformly fixed odds of winning the game, there is no room for the player's various strategies or tactics to intervene, and the game is extremely simple. As the player feels bored easily and the game proceeds smoothly, there is a problem that the player's departure from the roulette game becomes deeper than other casino games.

In order to remedy this drawback, an apparatus for performing a roulette game played in a casino in a fully automatic manner has been proposed. According to the prior art, an apparatus such as an electronic device or a video showing an actual roulette game has been attempted. However, such a device proceeds the game by betting a small amount of money only for a limited number compared to the actual roulette game, such a device has a problem that is suitable for indoor entertainment, but not for use in the actual casino.

In order to overcome the disadvantages of the manual roulette device as described above, the United Kingdom Patent No. 9718501.1 filed in the United Kingdom on September 1, 1997 discloses an automatic roulette game device. The automatic roulette game device according to the British patent is an improvement of the conventional manual roulette game device using only one ball, a rotatable roulette wheel having a total of 37 pockets around the circumference, and a drive for rotating the roulette wheel A launch mechanism for rolling the roulette ball with a motor and a rotating roulette wheel formed such that the ball falls into the pocket; Sensing means for detecting the number of the pocket where the roulette ball was dropped; An automatic roulette device comprising a return mechanism for returning the ball from the pocket to the launch mechanism.

However, in the above automatic roulette device, the launch mechanism comprises an air blower for rolling a roulette ball onto a rotating roulette wheel, which air blower includes a plurality of air blowers as in the present invention. In the case of firing the balls sequentially, there is a problem that the balls are entangled with each other, so it is difficult to expect a fair winning probability. In addition, since the launch device is large because the roulette ball is fired by using an air blower, an air blower is required, and a large amount of storage space is required.

In addition, in the above automatic roulette device, the detecting means for detecting the number of pockets in which the roulette ball is dropped comprises a reference sensor, a counter sensor and a ball detecting sensor, and the detecting means counts after reading the reference sensor. It works by locating the balls by counting them one by one. Therefore, since the conventional sensing means move independently of each sensor, there is a problem that operation errors are likely to occur when the processing of any one sensor is delayed. Also, since a sensor is attached to each separator, a problem may occur. There are more problems. Furthermore, in the roulette game in which several balls are used as in the present invention, when several balls falling in one pocket are dropped at the same time, there is a problem in that it is not recognized.

In addition, in the conventional automatic roulette device, the return mechanism for recovering the ball in order to proceed with a new game after the game is finished, removes the ball by lifting the roulette cover or moving the plate with the pocket up and down to remove the ball. The return mechanism has a disadvantage in that the configuration of the automatic roulette device is more complicated and the waiting time for a new game is increased, and the frequency of failure is considerably higher when used for a long time.

In addition, the conventional automatic roulette device still has a problem that does not meet the player's expectations for the odds of winning because the game is played using only one roulette ball, and further various strategies and tactics of the player to the roulette game Since there is no room to intervene and the game method is extremely simple, there is a problem that the player feels fatigue and boredom and the game proceeds smoothly compared to other table games.

The present invention was created to solve the above problems, the automatic roulette device according to the present invention uses a roulette wheel (roulette wheel) provided with three number zero display, and three roulette balls having different colors In the three-ball automatic roulette device to proceed the game, the roulette device,
