Description

The invention relates to printing products with game elements for conducting lotteries, etc.

Currently, lottery tickets (game cards) are widely used, having on the basis of a playing field on which game cells with game symbols are placed in them, covered with a masking layer with the possibility of its removal. The most characteristic arrangement of game cells is in one or several rows. As game characters, numbers, letters, graphic elements are used. As a rule, tickets have elements of their identification.

So, for example, a lottery ticket is known, made in the form of a square or rectangular base on which there is a playing field, representing in two rows game cells with game elements in their circuit, made in the form of letters for winning game cells and in the form of graphic elements for non-winners. The playing field on the outside and on the base side is covered with protective layers (outside - with a protective layer with the possibility of its removal). On the basis of there is also an identification number of the ticket and its PIN-code.

(see RF patent No. 2233688, class A 63 F 3/00, 2004).

In accordance with the rules for drawing a ticket, the player must remove the protective layer only from those cells that contain letters that form the winning word specified in the rules of the game. The maximum gain is due to the player if the number of game cells opened by him is equal to the number of letters of the game word. The winning size is reduced in proportion to the number of opened cells that do not contain game characters (letters) that form the word being played.

The scope of use of game elements is not limited to applying them to game cards. Quite widespread is the application of game elements to various printing publications.

Thus, a coupon for receiving goods (or services) is known from the prior art, for example, a coupon for gasoline containing a basis on which, in addition to the necessary attributes for receiving a product or service, there is an element for a game consisting of two characters, one of which is a prize for this coupon, and the other a random set of numbers covered by a removable masking layer.

(see the certificate of the Russian Federation for utility model No. 18359, class A 63 F / 06, 2001).

A known subscription card for a printed printing publication containing an information field divided into a subscription with information about the publisher, subscription distributor, subscriber, publication, and delivery coupon, and there is an additional block with game elements on the information field, subscription and coupon.

(see the certificate of the Russian Federation for utility model No. 11142, class B 42 D 15/00, 1999).

A ticket is known on which there are all the attributes typical of tickets (identification number, type of transport for which it is valid, price, anti-counterfeiting elements), advertising information, as well as a game window with game symbols covered by a removable masking layer.

(see RF patent No. 2072152, class B 42 D 15/00, 1997).

Thus, the placement on printing products of the most diverse purpose of game information that allows you to participate in the prize draw and gifts is quite widespread.

An invitation or greeting card is known that contains a base with graphic and verbal attributes placed on it for fulfilling its purpose (congratulations or invitations), and on the basis of which there is a game sign denoting a gift covered with a masking layer with the possibility of its removal and an additional game sign consisting of non-repeating double-digit numbers printed in Arabic numerals, covered by a removable masking layer. The base can be made of two parts,

separated by a perforated inflection line, and game elements are applied to any one part of the base.

(see the certificate of the Russian Federation for utility model No. 20245, class A 63 F 3/06, 2001).

As a result of the analysis of the implementation of this printing product, it should be noted that, as already noted above, it has all the necessary attributes to fulfill its main inherent purpose. Performing on the basis of a game sign meaning a gift and an additional game sign - meaning a period of access to a gift, allow a person who has this card to perform game actions related to receiving the gift based on the gift by determining if the code of the additional game sign matches the played founder of the game.

This implementation of the game elements virtually eliminates the concept of the game, as it does not allow the player to carry out game actions, and boils down to only removing the protective layer from the game characters and visual control of the information available on them.

Known print products (postcard, ticket, envelope, booklet, prospectus, brochure, calendar, congratulatory address, letter, book, magazine, newspaper, notebook, diary, study guide, textbook, notebook, album, stamp, label, sticker, label, form, card) containing a base having at least one area for placing gaming and corresponding at least one identifying elements made in the form of characters, and / or letters, and / or numbers, and / or images, and game characters and identifying elements from the main Ovs and the outside are covered with at least one layer that protects these elements from recognition. The outer protective layer can be made continuous over the entire area, with the possibility of its removal over the elements for visualization of the latter, while at least one layer placed at least from the outside is made in the form of a hologram, and the contour of the surface from which the protective layer is removed , forms a game element.

(see RF patent for utility model No. 39088, class A 63 F 3/06, 2004) - the closest analogue.

As a result of the analysis of the known solution, it should be noted that it has limited gaming capabilities, since it assumes for the player only two options: winning the specified prize or no winning. Given that in order to receive a win, it is necessary to open a significant number of game cells (at least equal to the number of game symbols of the played game combination), the probability of winning is very small, which will reduce interest in the game. In addition, the presence on the playing field of a significant number of game cells with non-winning symbols complicates and increases the cost of printing technology.

The objective of the present invention is to develop a printing product with game elements that allows you to expand the gaming capabilities of the player, increase the excitement for the game, as well as simplify the manufacturing technology of the printing publication and reduce its cost.

The task is ensured by the fact that in a printing product containing a base on which there are fields for placing attributes specific to a particular printing product, as well as a playing field consisting of game cells covered by a removable masking layer, in which part the game symbols of the game combination being played are placed (winning symbols), and in the rest - non-winning game symbols, as well as identification data of the printing product, the new thing is that the game cells are located as mini mum in two rows one above the other with the formation of rows and columns of cells, next to each game cell of one of the rows there is a game symbol of the played game combination of symbols, in one of the game cells of each column the game symbol of the played game combination, which is winning, is placed, and in the rest the cells of this column are non-winning, and the gain is indicated on the basis near each column.

When conducting patent research, no solutions were identified that are identical to the claimed invention, and therefore, the claimed invention meets the condition of patentability “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 a printing product can be carried out on known equipment using technologies known to specialists.

The invention is illustrated graphic materials on which:

figure 1 - printing product made in the form of postcards;

figure 2 - page spread;

figure 3 is a fragment of the base with a playing field, the masking layer on the playing field is absent.

The printing product is made in the form of a base 1 of paper, cardboard, plastic, film, etc. The shape of the base can be very diverse: rectangular, square, round, oval, etc.

The base is made in the form of a flat sheet, which can be divided by lines of inflection into parts. So, in figures 1 and 2, the base 1 is divided into two parts "a" and "b" by the inflection line "c".

On the basis of 1 there are fields 2 for placement of verbal, digital, graphic and other information, the purpose of which is determined by the affiliation of the printed product.

On the basis of 1 there is a playing field 3, consisting of game cells 4, in some of which winning 5 symbols are placed, and in the rest - non-winning symbols 6.

Game cells 4 are linearly arranged, at least in two rows one above the other with the formation of rows (in Figs. 1-3 are arranged horizontally) and columns (in Figs. 1-3 are arranged vertically).

The gaming cells 4 of the playing field may be arranged horizontally, vertically, obliquely, wave-like or otherwise. The location of the cells of the playing field is usually determined by the shape of the base, the size and configuration of the attribute-free inherent in a particular printing product

space. It is quite possible that for the base of a round shape, the playing field is circular, that is, the cells form rings placed one in the other. The presence of such a playing field is well within the concept of the present invention.

It is easy to see that the rows in this case form the game cells located in a circle, and the columns form adjacent game cells of the adjacent rings of the game fields.

Game cells are covered by a removable masking layer.

Along one of the rows near the game cells are the game symbols 7 of the combination being played, the number of which is equal to the number of game cells in the series (number of columns). In each column of game cells, in one of them an identical game (winning) symbol is placed, and in the remaining game cells of this column there are symbols indicating no win.

A win is indicated near each column. 8. A sum of money or another win, for example, a prize, can be indicated as a win.

The column of the playing field, the game symbol next to it and the indicated prize form the local playing area. The number of local playing areas corresponds to the number of columns of the playing field.

Naturally, the fewer game cells in a row, the more rows of game cells are placed on the playing field (the shorter the row (row), the higher the column).

Naturally, in any case, for any arrangement of columns and rows, the number of game cells in each column cannot be less than two, otherwise the meaning of the drawing is lost. The maximum number of game cells in a column can be different and depends on the number of game cells in a row, on the value of the prizes played.

Game symbols of the combination being played, located at the cells of the row, can carry a certain semantic load, be made in the form of a word, graphic images forming a finished plot.

The size (value) of the winnings indicated for each column is constantly increasing as we approach the end of the row.

Printing product is used as follows.

The owner of a printing product can use it for the purpose traditional for a particular type of printing product, since the latter has all the attributes of a specific printing product.

To conduct the game, the player alternately from the beginning of the row to the end in each column deletes the masking layer in one of the game cells 4. In case the game symbol of the opened cell of the column matches the game symbol located at the line in the column area (symbol 5 coincides with the symbol 7), then the player has the right to receive the winnings indicated in the column area.

If desired, the player can stop the game and receive a win.

The player can continue the game by opening any game cell in the next column. If the game symbol of the opened cell matches the game symbol located in this local game zone, then the player’s win is a large amount (value) indicated in this local game zone. As in the previous case, the player can pick up the win or continue the game further, and so on until the last column, in the zone of which the maximum win is indicated.

If at any stage of the game the game symbol of the opened cell does not coincide with the game symbol of this local game zone, the player is deprived of the right to receive a win, including the opened columns of the local game zones, in which the opened column symbols coincide with element of the playable composition. Thus, the player at any stage has a choice: stop the game and receive a win or continue the game in order to obtain a higher win, but with the risk of losing previously won amounts (prizes), which expands the player’s gaming capabilities.

It is very important that at each stage of the game the player knows his winnings, as well as the fact that in each game zone there is a win and the possibility of receiving it depends only on the player himself, which increases the game’s excitement.

The invention will be more clear from the example below, which is a printing product - a greeting card.

The greeting card is made in the form of a paper base 1, consisting of two parts “a” and “b”, separated by an inflection line “c”.

On the front side of the card (front part “a”) there are zones 2 in which graphic images are made, as well as verbal information (congratulations) indicating the purpose of the congratulations (holiday, birthday, wedding). On the back of part “a” (on the page spread) there is a field 2 for wishes to the addressee.

At the spread of the postcard on the base part “b” there is a playing field 3 made in the form of rows of game cells 4 linearly arranged one above the other with game symbols 5 and 6 placed in them, covered by a removable masking layer (Fig. 3).

The word “CONGRATULATIONS” is used as a game combination, and the game characters 7 are the letters that make it up. The number of game symbols is equal to the number of game cells in the row, and therefore the number of columns. Each letter of the word is located near one playing cell of the row. A similar letter is placed in one of the game cells of this column, which is a winning one. Each column has a winning amount of 8.

Based on there is a zone 2 on which the rules of the game are given. Product identification data is indicated at 9.

To conduct the game, the person who received the greeting in the form of a card opens one of the game cells 4 of the left column of the first local game zone. If the opened symbol contains the game symbol “P”, the player wins the amount indicated above this column (in this case, 25 rubles). The player has the right to stop the game and receive this amount. If the player wants to continue the game, he removes the mask layer from the column of the next local game zone from one of the game cells. If the game symbol “O” is placed in this game cell, which matches the next game symbol of the game combination being played, then the player

gets the right to receive a more significant win indicated in this local gaming zone (50 rubles). A game is considered to be completed if the player has worked out all the local game zones and in each of their columns the symbols matching the symbols of the game symbol combination located in the column zone are opened. In this case, the gain is 25,000 rubles.

The game is also considered completed if the game symbol of the opened game cell does not coincide with the game symbol of the game combination being played. If this situation does not arise in the first local gaming zone, the player is deprived of the right to receive a win from previously successfully played gaming zones.

It is easy to see that there are no columns in the playing field of the printing product in which there are no winning symbols, which allows to reduce the number of game cells and thereby simplify the manufacturing technology of the printing product and reduce its cost.

All elements of the game: the playing field, the playable combination of symbols, the type and size of the winnings are placed compactly on one side of the base, which simplifies the actions of the player and also simplifies the manufacturing technology of the product.

The game process itself is gambling, on each playing field there is a winning combination of game symbols of the played combination and the player has the opportunity to see this for himself by removing the mask layer from all game cells.

It increases the excitement and the fact that the game is carried out in several stages, at each stage of the game the player knows the amount of winnings, as well as the need at each stage of the game to choose: continue the game further risking losing the already won amount, but if successful, get much larger, or stop the game having received the amount won at the previous stage.

The presence on the printing products of elements for the game described above will significantly expand the sales of printing products.
