Abstract

DC60 (31/08/47) A gambling machine consisting of at least one sensor (2, 3) for monitoring the execution of a current gambling event (1) with a start and end period and producing at least one static representation of the current gambling event. The machine also consists of an operational display (14) capable of communicating with at least one sensor (2,3) and displaying at least one static representation of the current gambling event (1). A communication link between at least one sensor and the display is provided. The machine also consists of an operational processor (14) capable of communicating with the display (14) and providing movement corresponding to the state of the current gambling event (1) on the display. A gambling machine consisting of at least one sensor (2,3) for monitoring the execution of a current gambling event (1) with a start and end period and producing at least one static representation of the current gambling event. The machine also consists of A operative display (14) that communicates with at least one sensor (2,3) and can display at least one static representation of the current gambling event (1). A communication link between at least one sensor and the display is provided. The device also contains an operative processor (14) that communicates with the display (14) and provides movement corresponding to the state of the current gambling event (1) on the display.

Claims (26)

1. A gambling device consisting of at least one sensor for monitoring the operation of an existing gambling event with a set and final phase, and for producing a static representation of the existing gambling event; an operational display device that communicates with at least one sensor and can display at least one static representation of the existing gambling event; a communication link between at least one sensor and the display; and an operational processor that communicates with the display and provides movement corresponding to the state of the existing gambling event displayed on the display. 2. The machine of chance under claim 1, which is known to contain at least one fixed number, can produce at least one fixed number substitute for the event of chance that is present at the final outcome. 3. A machine of chance under claim 1 or 2 in which the display provides a combination of at least one representation and movement. 4. A device for gambling under any of the above-mentioned claims that also includes a bandwidth monitor capable of performing operations to find information related to the bandwidth of the communication link between at least one sensor and a display, and transforming the amount of data from at least one sensor displayed by the display in response to the bandwidth information from the bandwidth monitor. 5. A machine for gambling as per claim paragraph 4, where the processing unit is provided at the communication link between at least one sensor and the display unit. 6. The instrument for the purpose of monitoring the bandwidth under claim 5 consists of a high-frequency signal generator arranged on a communication link between at least one detector and a processor, and a signal detection pathway that is functionally connected to the processor. The high-frequency signal has a set of harmonics such that the frequency of the highest received harmonic is found and communicated to the processor at a frequency at which the response pathway is opened. 7. A device for generating data under claim 6 where the maximum harmonic frequency obtained is periodically determined during data communication between at least one detector and the display device. 8. A machine for generating data under claim 7, where the maximum harmonic frequency obtained is determined every 100th second to allow for a variation in the transmission frequency between at least one detector and the processor every 100th second. 9. A gambling device under any of the above-mentioned claims, in which the communication link between at least one sensor and the display device includes the Internet. 10. Any gambling device under any of the above-mentioned claims in which the communication link between at least one sensor and the display device consists of a telephone line. 11. Any gambling device under the aforementioned claims in which the display and processing units are integrated into a personal computer. 12. Any gambling device under the aforementioned claims in which at least one detector consists of a camera for capturing images of the ongoing gambling event, the representation of the ongoing gambling event shall be an image. 13. A machine for gambling under claim 12 where the image of an event is displayed by the machine as a live video image of the event. 14. A machine for gambling under claim 12 or 13 where the image is a video image and a method is provided to find variations in the video image, the information sent to the display machine via the processor is augmented only with variations in the video image. 15. Any machine of chance under claims 12 through 14 in which at least one detector consists of a first and a second camera, each of which can be rotated to provide different images of the ongoing event of the chance. 16. A machine for drawing lots under claim 15, in which the display shows an image from camera one during the setup period and an image from camera two during the final result period. 17. Any gambling device under any of the preceding claims shall also include an input method that can be placed close to the existing gambling event and shall be able to communicate with the input processor regarding the status and/or final outcome of the event and send it to the processor. 18. A method for remotely monitoring an existing luck event with a setting and final phase, comprising steps for monitoring the operation of the existing luck event and producing at least one static representation of the event; generating motion of the luck event; and displaying the luck event remotely, a combination of the motion and the produced representations of the existing luck event. 19. The method under claim 18 where at least one substitute for an event of the ongoing chance consists of a fixed substitute at the final result. 20. The method under claim 18 or 19 where the movement and the image produced are represented as superimposition. 21. Any of the procedures under Claims 18 through 20 in which the monitoring procedure of the proceeding of the existing gambling event and the production of at least one still representation of the event includes at least one still image of the existing gambling event. 22. The procedure under claim 21 where the capture procedure of at least one still image consists of the capture of the first still image of the first view of the event during the setup and the capture of at least a second still image of the second view of the event during the final result. The first view image is different from the second view image. 23. The method under claim 21 or 22 where the captured image consists of the captured video footage. 24. Any of the methods under Claims 18 through 23 that still include a procedure for determining the bandwidth of the communication between the event of chance and the position of display, and varying the amount of data transmitted depending on the two available bandwidths. 25. Any of the methods under Claims 18 through 24 are implemented using the instruments of Claims 1 through 17. 26. A gambling device consisting of at least one camera for capturing images of ongoing gambling events with their setting and final outcomes; a movable display capable of communicating with at least one camera and displaying at least one still image of the ongoing gambling event; a communication link between at least one camera and the display; and a movable processor capable of communicating with the display and providing motion corresponding to the status of the ongoing gambling event displayed on the display.
