Description

[001] The object of the invention is a device for generating a random value as an actuation element of an actuator of a gaming device.

Technical Problem [002] The technical problem to be solved by the invention is how to design such a device that, when inputting sound, which can take up to a predetermined interval of time, and which is in any way generated by the player, will still generate a random number in accordance with such gambling device acceleration standards.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is well known that players of different games of chance wish to be able to influence the trigger of each game. We know of various gambling games which are triggered by springs, which then work e.g. on the ball, the arms used to direct the ball rotate the dials, etc. However, any such device must still comply with the trigger randomness standards.

[004] There is a need for audio input to this type of device by which the player may influence the generation of a random number to generate the actuator of the gaming device. This need comes from the psychological background of the group of players. Any sound input of a maximum of a specified time interval gives players an additional opportunity to create additional tension when playing, which is either fun or adrenaline, depending on the player's approach to such a game.

Solution to a Technical Problem [006] The technical problem described is solved by an apparatus of the invention consisting of a microphone, a microprocessor that controls and performs the entire process, an actuator of the gaming device and a computer program that processes the audio input, adds it to a random number, generated by the microprocessor in such a way that the final number that generates the impulse to activate the gaming device actuator is still random.

[007] In more detail, the essence of the invention will be explained by a description of an embodiment with or in the accompanying drawing, in which FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a device according to the invention.

[008] A random value generating device as a trigger element for a gaming device actuator consists of a microprocessor 1, a microphone 2, an A / D converter 3 for converting an analog signal generated by a microphone 2 after receiving audio information generated by a player . Further, the device according to the invention comprises a random number generator 4 which is required to generate a signal to activate the actuator 5 of the gambling device 6. The gambling device 6 is any such device, e.g. roulette, various games of dice, balls and the like.

[009] An integral part of the apparatus is the computer program 7 that runs each game. Program 7 includes an algorithm for rearranging audio information received by microphone 2 and an algorithm for linking digital form of audio information generated by the player and a random number automatically generated by the microprocessor.

[0010] The aforementioned components of the device according to the invention operate with each other as a whole by first microprocessor 1 allowing the player or another person authorized by the player to enter audio information via microphone 2, at which time is the time for entering audio information certain. The analogue audio information record is first converted to digital format in the analog-to-digital converter 3. This is followed by the conversion of the digital audio information record to a numerical value, which is performed by microprocessor 1 using any known algorithm. Microprocessor 1 generates a random number for each game. Both numbers, i.e. a random number and a number generated from audio information as described above, then microprocessor 1 is combined into a new number, which is still random and is used to generate the actuator trigger signal of the gaming device 3. Combining both of these numbers is performed by microprocessor 1 with an algorithm, preferably with one of or a combination of mathematical operations, e.g. addition, multiplication, potentiation, etc.

[0011] The apparatus according to the invention comprises further necessary known operating elements, such as e.g. electrical connection, various screens for displaying different information for the proper course of the game and directions for the participation of each player individually, etc. These elements are not described in detail because they are obvious to those skilled in the art.

[0012] With such a device, players are offered the opportunity to participate in the generation of an actuator 6 actuation signal, while still ensuring that the actuation signal is a random value and complies with international standards of this type.

[0013] The described essence of the device according to the invention can be attributed to many external elements, graphic, design, even sound, which will seemingly present new challenges for the players without altering the described features of the invention. The device according to the invention does not interfere with the designers of the interior of the casino and the individual gaming units in it.

[0014] The device according to the invention can be designed in terms of industrial design and using different materials in different ways without circumventing the features of the invention as defined in the following patent claims.
