Abstract
A gaming apparatus comprising a mechanical ejector adapted to eject the ball from a pocket of the gaming apparatus wherein it is then propelled along a ball track by a solid striker.
Claims
1. A gaming apparatus comprising: a rotatably mounted rotor having pockets into which a ball can be s received, each pocket being associated with a number; a peripheral inclined surface concentric with the rotor, said surface comprising a circular ball track disposed radially outward of the rotor; a mechanical ejector adapted to eject a ball received in a pocket onto the peripheral inclined surface; and O a mechanical propulsion means adapted to strike and propel the ejected ball along the ball track; further comprising a ball trapping mechanism adapted to receive a ball ejected by the mechanical ejector and to restrict movement of the ball prior to the ball being propelled by the mechanical propulsion means. 5
2. A gaming apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ball trapping mechanism comprises an arm operable to move between a first position in which the ball trapping mechanism does not restrict movement of the ball on the ball track and a second position in which the ball trapping0 mechanism is arranged to receive a ball ejected by the mechanical ejector and to restrict movement of the ball on the ball track.
3. A gaming apparatus as claimed in any preceding claim wherein the mechanical ejector comprises a firing pin which is operable to strike a bail 5 from a pocket.
4. A gaming apparatus as claimed in claim 3 wherein the firing, pin is operated by a snail cam and a spring. 0
5. A gaming apparatus as claimed in any preceding claim wherein the solid striker comprises a pivotally mounted flipper operable to- strike the ejected ball. 18
6. A gaming apparatus as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the solid striker is operated by a solenoid.
7. A gaming apparatus as claimed in any preceding claim further comprising striker control means adapted to control the force applied to the ball by the solid striker
8. A gaming apparatus as claimed In any preceding claim further comprising a ball detector adapted to detect the presence of a ball at a location in the gaming apparatus.
9. A gaming apparatus as claimed in claim 8 further comprising computer control means adapted to control rotation of the rotor, wherein an output from the ball detector is fed to the computer control means and at least one of: a motor controlling the rotation of the rotor, the mechanical ejector, a ball trapping mechanism and the solid striker,
10. A gaming apparatus as claimed in any preceding claim further comprising: a motor adapted to rotate the rotor; and motor control means adapted to stop the rotor so that a pocket containing a ball is aligned with the mechanical ejector.
11. A gaming apparatus as claimed in any preceding claim further comprising a fixed rim positioned peripherally outward and at the top of the ball track, wherein the solid striker is contained within the fixed rim.
12. A gaming apparatus as claimed in any preceding claims wherein the apparatus is a roulette wheel.
