Description

Mobile gaming device

The invention relates to a multi-mobile gaming device intended for lottery and betting purposes.

In practice, individual gaming devices are known, which are designed as static, stationary devices consisting of a control unit, one to three displays, a payment receiving unit and control buttons, all of which are built into the corresponding housing. The disadvantages of the known devices are reflected in their large-scale, static and in the fact that they can only be used as predefined units with an unacceptable usable surface and mode of use, which, among other things, dictates a certain space that cannot be modified or adapted to the specific needs.

The disadvantages of the known gaming devices to date have been remedied by a mobile lottery and betting machine comprising a multi-port control unit, which is connected online to a central gaming server, at least one central display, a payment unit and a control unit. the control module, the essence of which is that the central cash-receiving unit and the central multi-connector display and the control module are adapted for operation outside the control unit and are connected in any known manner by wire or wireless, wherein the control unit is further connected to at least one portable video terminal.

According to the invention, in certain circumstances it may be advantageous if the control unit is installed inside the video terminal.

A further feature of the invention is the fact that a portable video terminal may be equipped with a touch screen, a loudspeaker, an activation key and a security key to prevent minors from playing. It further includes a keyhole, a keyhole, a start key, a pause-lock key, an adjusting plug for connecting to the power supply, and a plug for connecting to communication inputs.

When a gaming device is not in use, commercially stored in-memory cartridges are preferentially played over the portable terminal.

According to the invention, it is also preferred if the central payment unit is equipped with a numeric keypad, display, slip, printer, slip, credit and club card.

The control panel for gaming staff operating a mobile gaming device according to the invention is intended for transmitting the sums of money to the selected video terminal each time, for recording the paid and paid amounts, for printing and reading receipts, for credit card credit and activate or deactivate selected video terminals. According to the invention, there is an opening for a control key, printer, reader, display, numeric keypad with function keys, mechanical and electronic counters on the display of paid and paid amounts.

A further object of the invention is that a gaming device is adapted to play games by means of a portable video terminal connected wirelessly via communication inputs to display units, a central payment unit and a control module via the multiple connection of individual portable video- terminals.

The invention also features the control of a mobile gaming device, whereby the operator determines the credit by using a key for determining the credit on the control panel or by using a central receiving unit, then presses a numeric key on the keyboard and by using the function keys and thanks to the receiver and transmitter, or a wired connection, and possibly transfer a paid credit from the other communication device to the selected portable video terminal.

By connecting individual transmitter video terminals via a receiver and transmitter or communication inputs to a control unit and at the same time a central cash receiving unit, an external control module, and one or more display units, they are capable of operating as standalone, mutually independent gaming devices.

In the case where individual portable video terminals are additionally equipped with a sufficiently powerful control unit, an on-line connection to a server of a central gaming system or other gaming system would be sufficient.

The mobile gaming device according to the invention provides a completely new way of operating and the concept of lottery games and betting, which are applicable in the field of gaming and betting.
