Description

The invention relates to the field of mass entertainment and can be used to conduct games according to the rules similar to the rules of the game of roulette.

A known game for the implementation of which a roulette wheel is used, a playing field is made on the periphery of the wheel, which consists of sectors (cells) with game signs, for example, in the form of numbers, as well as a set of cards (tickets) for participants in the game, each of which has an individual index , covered with a masking layer with the ability to remove the latter, moreover, the cards are equipped with a game field consisting of a set of cells, each of which has a game symbol in the form of a number selected from the set of numbers available on the game field p of the spinning wheel, while the numbers in the cells are located in a predetermined combination and are covered with a masking layer with the possibility of its removal, at least one card is made with the markup of the table playing field in the form of sectors for placing bets (chips).

(see Utility Model Certificate No.21349, class A 63 F 5/00, 2001)

As a result of the analysis of the gamut of attributes necessary for holding this game, it should be noted that the necessity of having a roulette wheel and a set of cards for its implementation reduces the scope of its implementation, since the roulette wheel is installed in certain places, for example, gaming halls, where access is not always possible to the players. Visualization of the roulette wheel on the screen necessitates the use of communication and demonstration, which is not always possible and convenient for players. A set of cards for the game complicates the perception of its rules, leads to confusion during the game, which generally leads to a decrease in the dynamics of the game and its attractiveness for the players, to a decrease in the last sensations of excitement from the game.

It should also be noted that the roulette wheel bets are not drawn by the player himself, which may give the impression of

incorrect draws, and in addition, reduces the gaming capabilities of the player.

The lottery game "Super Roulette" is known, which provides for the use of a lottery ticket (game card) with a decorative base on which playing areas with "winning" and "non-winning" symbols, covered by easily removable protective opaque masks, are evenly spaced. In the area of each playing area made its number. For all issued game cards, the following condition is met:

the number of "winning" game symbols is less than the total number of game sites located on the basis of the game card. Winning symbols form a winning combination on each ticket.

To conduct the game, the players acquire lottery tickets and, removing the opaque protective masks from the playing areas in an arbitrary sequence chosen by the player, identify the game symbols of each opened symbol until a winning combination is obtained. In this case, the number of opened playing areas can be equal to the number of areas that make up the winning combination or exceed it. In the first case, the gain is the maximum value, and in the second case, the winning amount decreases in proportion to the number of additionally opened playing areas with “non-winning” symbols.

(see Published application PCT / RU / 00332, cl. A 63 F 3/06, publication date 11/09/2000, international publication number WO 00/66236).

As a result of the analysis of the implementation of the game card for the implementation of the lottery game, it should be noted that it, like the claimed device, contains a game field made in the form of playing areas arranged around the circumference with game symbols covered by a masking layer.

However, the gaming capabilities of this game card are very limited. The actions of the player who purchased this game card are reduced only to removing the masking layer from the game areas randomly until the winning combination of characters determined by the founder of the game is opened. All this reduces the excitement and attractiveness of the game, which,

although it is called “Super Roulette”, it has practically nothing to do with the actions performed when playing roulette.

A known game method and device for its implementation, according to which to implement the method using a device that is a base made, for example, in the form of a circle on which the playing fields are formed. The basis of several circles (for example, two) is divided into several (for example, three) game zones ("rows"). Game fields are divided into game cells by rays extending from the center of the circle, and the number of game cells of each subsequent row, counting from the center of the circle, obeys the condition N = n ^k , where n is the number of game cells of the first row, k is the number of the series. In game cells there are game symbols, which can be very different, for example, images of card suits. Game cells of the previous row (counting from the center) are made in contact with game cells of the next row.

As a basis, paper, cardboard, the plane of a casino gaming table, etc. can be used.

(see RF patent No. 2211719, class A 63 F 3/06, 2003) - the closest analogue.

To conduct the game, bets are accepted from the players, and each player makes a bet on at least one image (game symbol) of the playing field, at least one of the rows, which means that the player takes part in this drawing and in all previous drawings corresponding to the previous rows, and automatically for each previous row makes an indication of the rates in the transverse direction of the rows to the said adjacent images of the playing fields with images of symbols made on them. Thus, the player actually makes a bet on one image of the playing field, any row, also makes bets on all previous, adjacent adjacent game cells of the previous rows.

As a result of the analysis of this device for the game, it should be noted that it actually represents a field of bets that is played by the game organizer on the media (base). This reduces the excitement of the game and can create an impression on the gamers about the bias of the rally conducted by the founder of the game.

In addition, the mandatory implementation of the device by making one chip at once several bets reduces the gaming capabilities of the players.

The objective of the present invention is to develop a device for a game, the implementation of which allows for the implementation of all the rules of the game actions on one device, without the use of additional cards, coupons, chips, etc., eliminates the impact on the outcome of the game of third parties by allowing the player to carry out all game actions, as well as being reliably protected from fakes, unauthorized access to his game information and virtually eliminating the possibility of l games in violation of the rules established by the founder of the game.

The task is ensured by the fact that in the device for the game, made in the form of a base on which there is a playing field representing cells with placed game symbols in them, the new thing is that based on the placed betting field made in the form of cells with game symbols, moreover, the playing cells of the playing field and the betting field are closed by a removable masking layer, and on the basis of which there is an element for determining the position of the device during its implementation including automated control, and on the basis of which there is an individual device code, and the base can be in the form of a circle and can be made in the form of a CD or DVD - disk. The playing field may be in the form of a ring, on the outside or inside of which the betting field is placed, and the playing cells of the playing field and betting fields may be provided with identification symbols made in the form of a number or a set of numbers, and the masking layer of the playing field cells may be placed graphic images.

When conducting patent research, no solutions were found that were identical to the claimed one, and therefore, the claimed invention meets the patentability condition of “novelty”.

The essence of the claimed invention does not follow explicitly from the prior art, and therefore, the claimed invention meets the condition of patentability "inventive step".

The information set forth in the application materials is sufficient for the practical implementation of the invention. The manufacture of the device can be carried out on known equipment, in accordance with technologies that are known to specialists in this field of technology.

The invention is illustrated graphic materials on which:

figure 1 - device for playing, view from the front side;

figure 2 - a device for the game, the masking layer is absent;

figure 3, figure 4 - a device for playing, after the game;

figure 5 - device for playing with the identification symbols of the fields;

figure 6 - a device for playing with plotted on a masking layer of cells graphic images.

The device for the game is a base (carrier) 1. The shape of the base can be different: circle, polyhedron, square, rectangle, oval, etc. At least one side of the base has a playing field 2, consisting of game cells 3, in which are placed game symbols 4. As game symbols, numbers, letters, combinations thereof, graphic images, etc. can be used. Game cells with game symbols are covered by a removable mask layer 5.

In addition to the playing field, based on the betting field 6, divided into cells 7, in each of which are randomly placed game symbols 8 identical to the game symbols of the game field 2. Cells 7 with game symbols 8 are closed by a removable masking layer 9.

Based on there is an element 10 for determining the position of the device when it is installed on the equipment of the organizer of the game when checking the device that participated in the game (for monitoring). Element 10 may be in the form of a readable electronic tag, or visual. So, on the presented graphic materials, where the base is made in the form of a circle with

hole 11 in its center, element 10 is made in the form of a radial notch, paired with the hole.

Based on the field designations can be applied. So, for example, field 2 can be indicated by the symbol "WHEEL", and field 6 by the symbol "BET".

On the basis of 1 an individual number (Pin code) 12 of the device can be applied.

As noted above, the device does not imply any strictly defined form of the base for its implementation. It is quite advisable that the shape of the base is determined by the relative placement on it of the device elements (playing fields, tags, individual numbers, additional inscriptions and images (if they are on on this basis), for example, the name of the game, the name of the organizer of the game, the image of the main prize (s), advertising images, fragments of the rules of the game, that is, as is customary in traditional s devices for the game). So, for example, if the device’s betting field and its playing field are located next to each other on the base, then it is advisable to perform the shape of the base in the form of a rectangle or oval. If the playing field and the betting field are arranged “one in another”, then the most appropriate form of the base is a square or a circle. However, in this case, it must be borne in mind that often the form of the base is able to influence the players, if it is associated with well-known attributes of common games. So, for example, to make it look like a game of roulette, which, as it is recognized, is one of the most gambling games, it is advisable to perform base 1 in the form of a circle imitating a roulette wheel. Cells 3 of the playing field 2 in this case form a ring, by analogy with the cells of the roulette table. The cells 7 of the betting field 6 can be arranged in the form of a ring covering the ring formed by the cells of the playing field or covered by it. The gaming cells of the betting field may be arranged in rows within the ring of the playing field.

One of the advantages of this device is the fulfillment of all the attributes of the game on one basis, which eliminates the need

the use of additional cards, chips, etc., the use of which reduces the dynamics of the game and interest in it.

It is also easy to notice that all game actions when using the device are carried out directly by the player, which eliminates the influence of third parties on the game process. Indeed, in front of the player who purchased the device (Fig. 1), there is a betting field and a playing field, the game cells of which are covered by a masking layer, and therefore, the player is absolutely free to choose a combination of winning game symbols of the cells.

As a rule, most constantly playing individuals have their own game system, which in their subjective opinion brings good luck. Quite often, the combination of bets is determined by some signs, memorable dates, etc. Therefore, the performance of all playing cells of the playing field and the betting field with a masking layer closed and complete independence during the game from extraneous factors (the position of the chips, the results of the draw) allows the player to fully implement his own technique definitions of game combinations, which undoubtedly increases interest in the game and almost completely eliminates the psychological factor from him about the allegedly dishonest actions of third parties, I have their ability to influence the process of the game.

It is no secret that for the majority of those who play lotto, roulette bets are associated with numbers or their combinations. Many players have their own traditional number combination selection systems. Therefore, to realize the possibilities of participating in the game with the usual types of bets, each playing cell of the playing field can be equipped with an identifying digital symbol 13, and each cell of the betting field with an identifying digital symbol 14 (Fig. 5). Symbols 13 and 14 can also be used to identify the device by the game organizer, or his representative.

For the device, the location based on the identification symbols 13 and 14 is not essential. In this case, it is only important that

the player unambiguously correlated them with certain game cells of the fields. So in figure 5, the characters 13 and 14 are located on the masking layer of the field cells.

If the base is in the form of a circle, then the playing cells of the playing field can be arranged in a ring around the periphery of the circle, and the playing cells of the betting field are located inside the ring of the playing field.

The cells of the betting field may be arranged in rows or in the shape of a ring.

The number of game cells of the game field and betting field can be different and is determined by the organizer of the game. It is most advisable that the number of game cells of the device corresponds to the number of cells of the roulette table, which enhances the player’s impression of similarity with the game of roulette, especially since the rules of the game when using this device are quite similar to the rules of the game of roulette. To enhance this similarity, the device is advisable to carry out a color gamut identical to the color gamut of the roulette game attributes, for example, the betting field is green, and the periphery of the base is alternated in red and black.

As a basis, paper, cardboard, plastic, etc. can be used. As a basis 1, a CD or DVD disc can also be used, on the non-working surface of which all the elements of the device described above are printed using a printing method, or there is a sticker with these properties .

To conduct the game, the player acquires a device for the game and gets acquainted with the rules of the game distributed by the organizer of the game.

To conduct the game, the player “makes bets” by analogy with the game of roulette, that is, removes from one or several cells 7 of the betting field 6 a mask layer. The number of opened cells of the betting field 6 may be different and is determined by the rules of the game. Then the player “launches the ball on the roulette wheel and determines the place where it stops”, that is, it removes a mask layer from one of the cells 3 of the playing field 2 from the supposed place of the ball’s stop.

To determine the presence of a win and its size, the player compares the game symbol of the opened cell of the playing field with the game symbols of the opened cells

bid fields. If at least one of the game symbols of the opened cells of the betting field matches the game symbol of the opened cell of the playing field, the player has the right to receive a win. Naturally, the gain is the greater, the less bets the player has made (the less number of cells of the betting field he opened). The player is informed about the type and size of the win in the rules of the game.

To receive a win, the player presents the device participating in the game to the game organizer or his representative.

The device is installed in the controls of the organizer so that the element 10 occupies a strictly defined position relative to the scanning elements of the controls. This is necessary to analyze the sequence of arrangement of game symbols of the betting field and the playing field.

The device can also be additionally checked by PIN-code 12, which serves as confirmation that this device is really released by the organizer of the game. Further, the organizer of the game analyzes the identification symbols of the opened cells of the playing field and the betting field, which confirm that these game symbols were placed in these opened cells of the game. If when checking the device, a mismatch of the PIN code or the contents of the game characters of the fields is found, or if the masking layer is damaged, the device is invalid.

If the PIN code and the content of the game symbols of the opened field cells are found to be consistent with the individual data of the device held by the organizer of the game, then the player will receive a payout due in accordance with the rules of the game.

The procedure for identifying a ticket by the organizer of the game, as well as the execution of identification symbols on it, are very important, especially if large prizes or large sums of money are drawn.

After the founder of the game extinguishes the played fields, the device can be used to conduct games in which redeemed game cells do not participate.

The rules of the game, which can be implemented on this device, can be very diverse and can relate, in particular, to a different number of opened game cells, the number of participants simultaneously playing on one device.

The essence of the claimed invention will be more clear from the following example.

The organizer of the game released devices for the game, the game field 2 of each of which is made in the form of a ring divided into 36 (Fig. 1) game cells 3, each of which contains game symbols 4 made in the form of numbers and their combinations from 1 to 36 located in a certain order by the organizer of the game (figure 2). Game cells with game symbols are covered by a masking layer 5 (Fig. 1).

The identification digital symbols 13 of each cell of the playing field are located in the zones forming the annular field covering the playing field 2. The identification symbols of each cell of the playing field are made in the form of a digit or a combination of numbers that are not repeated for one device.

The betting field 6 is made ring-shaped. Game symbols of the betting field are identical to the game symbols of the playing field and are located in the cells of the betting field in a random order. Each cell of the betting field has an identifying digital symbol 14.

It is easy to see that the device includes attributes of gaming devices used in the game of roulette. The color scheme of the device is characteristic of the traditional colors of the roulette wheel and the gaming table.

To implement the game, the player acquires a device for the game, gets acquainted with the rules of the game.

During the game, the player “makes bets,” that is, removes the masking layer from one or more cells of the betting field.

So on the device shown in figure 3, the player made one bet on the betting field, removing the masking layer from one of the cells and opening its game symbol. In figure 3, such a symbol is the number "25". By removing the masking layer from one of the cells of the playing field, the player reveals the game symbol of this

cells. In this case, such is the number “25”, which indicates that the symbols coincided and the player has the right to receive a win.

On the device shown in FIG. 4, the player made three bets on the betting field similarly to the one described above, which were the game symbols “10”, “25”, “36”. On the playing field, the player removed the masking layer from the three game cells on which the game symbols “2”, “36”, “25” are made, which indicates that two bets were played, which turned out to be winning for the player.

When using the device for the game (Fig. 5), the game cells of which are equipped with identification symbols, the player is able to conduct the game using his usual digital combinations, following which he removes the masking layer from the game cells of the betting field in the same way as described above. Let it be the cells identified by the numbers "6", "12", "19" of the betting field. Suppose that in these cells game characters “4”, “16”, “5” are open. Then the player “throws the ball and suggests a place to stop it”, that is, it removes the masking layer from one of the cells of the playing field. Let it be a cell with the identification symbol "6". Assume that the game symbol of this cell is the game symbol "5".

Next, the player analyzes the betting field symbols opened by him for their identity with the playing field symbol opened by him. In the analysis, it is easy to determine that of the three bets made, one (with the number “19”) turned out to be winning).

According to the table of winnings published by the organizer of the game, the player receives information about the amount of winnings or their form (depending on the type of rally).

To use the device when conducting sweepstakes, for example, at rallies, racecourses, competitions of exotic fauna representatives, etc., the player bets on one or several (depending on the conditions of the sweepstakes) participants, revealing the corresponding cells of the betting field (for example, on the number participant), and opening the game cells on the playing field, the player indicates the place that, in his opinion, the participant will take

a tote, for example, a race or its stage. In this case, it is advisable to apply images of the participants of the conducted tote, for example, images of camels when conducting the tote on the run of these animals, to the masking layer of the cells of the playing field (FIG. 6).

Winnings are issued (paid) by the organizer of the game or his representative after the control (examination) of the device. In the process of examination, an individual code (number) of the device is checked (it is established whether the device with the given PIN code was really put into circulation) and the identification symbols of the playing field and betting field (do the devices with this PIN code really have opened identification data under these identification symbols game characters).

After the organizer of the game extinguishes the involved game cells, the player can continue the game with the same device, of course, with the exception of the canceled cells, as noted above.

The gaming capabilities of the device are substantially expanded if a CD or DVD disc is used as the basis 1 of the device for playing, on the non-working surface of which all the elements of the device are placed similarly to the one described above.

All the necessary information for the game is placed on this disc and the player can access it at any time. In addition, a variety of information can be placed on the disk.

It is possible to conduct the game by notifying the organizer of the game about the “bets made” and the involved cell (s) of the playing field via known communication networks. In this case, during the game, the organizer and the player interact, reporting on their game actions. The organizer through the communication system identifies the playing device by reading its PIN code and controlling the location of the game symbols, as well as accounting and identification of the opened cells of the playing field and betting field.

This device can be used to implement a wide range of gaming procedures: roulette, sweepstakes, lotto, etc. The rules for the game, as well as the prizes being played, can be very diverse.

It is also very important that the device is reliably protected from fakes and unauthorized access to the information of the game cells of the game field and the betting field.

The device is simpler and more technologically advanced to manufacture, since all its elements are made on one medium, and the presence of graphic images on the masking layer simplifies the procedure for monitoring the integrity of the masking layer.
