Description

DESCRIPCIÓN  DESCRIPTION
Máquina recreativa con premios. OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN Recreational machine with prizes. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención se refiere a una máquina recreativa, del tipo de las que suministran premios en metálico, y mas particularmente del tipo de las que desarrollan el juego del bingo. The present invention relates to a recreational machine, of the type that provides cash prizes, and more particularly of the type that develops the bingo game.
El objeto de la invención es conseguir que, cuando un jugador obtiene el premio máximo en una determinada máquina, ésta genere una algarabía y monte un mini-espectáculo que llame la atención de toda la concurrencia del local donde se encuentre instalada la máquina. The object of the invention is to achieve that, when a player obtains the maximum prize in a certain machine, it generates a commotion and assembles a mini-show that attracts the attention of all the concurrence of the premises where the machine is installed.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Son conocidas máquinas recreativas que utilizan como base el juego del bingo, que consecuentemente está detrás de una pantalla en la que aparecen representados varios "cartones" de bingo, generalmente cuatro, con diferentes combinaciones de números en sus diversas líneas, sorteándose durante el desarrollo del juego un número determinado de bolas, generalmente sesenta, con opción a la compra de bolas extra para conseguir un premio, cuando éste no ha sido conseguido en el sorteo normal. Recreational machines are known that use the game of bingo as a base, which consequently is behind a screen in which several bingo “cards” are represented, generally four, with different combinations of numbers in their different lines, drawing during the development of the game. I play a certain number of balls, usually sixty, with the option of buying extra balls to get a prize, when it has not been won in the normal draw.
Estas bolas aparecen también representadas en pantalla, con su correspondiente numeración, y se van encendiendo a medida que va discurriendo el sorteo, a la vez que sus cifras van siendo señalizadas sobre los cartones, cuando existen en alguno de ellos. These balls are also represented on the screen, with their corresponding numbering, and light up as the draw goes on, while their figures are being marked on the cards, when they exist in any of them.
Como en toda máquina recreativa de este tipo existe una tabla de premios, en este caso los típicos del bingo, que se produce cuando en uno de los cartones se completa una de las líneas, una doble "H", una "M", etc., hasta llegar al "bingo", que como es sabido consiste en completar todos los números del cartón. El premio máximo se produce cuando este premio se consigue en el sorteo normal, es decir sin necesidad de la compra de bolas extra, situación en la que el premio "bingo" pasa a denominarse habitualmente "jackpot". El logro de un "jackpot" por parte de un jugador que utiliza una determinada máquina recreativa, suele estar señalizado con un tipo de musiquilla específica, lo mismo que sucede con el resto de los premios suministrados por la máquina, en orden a que el público presente en el local, con inclusión del resto de jugadores, sean conscientes de que en una determinada máquina se ha producido un premio de máximo nivel. As in any recreational machine of this type there is a table of prizes, in this case the typical bingo, which occurs when in one of the Cardboards complete one of the lines, a double "H", an "M", etc., until you reach the "bingo", which as is known is to complete all the numbers on the card. The maximum prize is produced when this prize is obtained in the normal draw, that is, without the need to buy extra balls, a situation in which the "bingo" prize is usually called "jackpot". The achievement of a "jackpot" by a player who uses a certain recreational machine, is usually signaled with a specific type of music, the same as with the rest of the prizes provided by the machine, in order that the public present at the venue, including the rest of the players, be aware that a maximum level prize has been produced on a given machine.
Sin embargo esta señalización no consigue recabar la atención del publico en los niveles que sería de desear. DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN However, this signaling fails to get the attention of the public at the levels that would be desired. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
La máquina recreativa que la invención propone permite alcanzar sobradamente el objetivo citado, generando una auténtica fiesta en el local cuando se consigue un premio de determinada categoría, identificando además, sin cualquier genero de dudas, en que máquina se ha producido. The recreational machine that the invention proposes allows the aforementioned objective to be exceeded, generating a real party in the premises when a prize of a certain category is achieved, also identifying, without any doubt, in which machine has been produced.
Para ello y a partir de la estructuración básica de una máquina convencional de este tipo en lo que al desarrollo del juego se refiere, la máquina de la invención incorpora, por ejemplo en el seno de un cabezal superior que remate su mueble, un depósito de papel tipo confeti o similar, con su correspondiente entrada o acceso del exterior, estando este depósito de papel comunicado con un tubo de salida que emerge también del cabezal, a través de un ventilador accionado por el correspondiente motor. To do this and from the basic structuring of a conventional machine of this type in terms of game development, the machine of the invention incorporates, for example in a top head that finishes its furniture, a paper tank confetti or similar type, with its corresponding entrance or access from the outside, this paper deposit being communicated with an outlet tube that also emerges of the head, through a fan driven by the corresponding motor.
La estructura descrita se complementa con una pareja de altavoces montados también en la carcasa del cabezal, obviamente encargados de la señalización acústica del premio en cuestión, altavoces que emiten un mensaje efectivo cuando se alcanza el citado premio "jackpot", a la vez que se ponen en funcionamiento los ventiladores para difusión del confeti al exterior de la máquina, generando ésta última una autentica situación festiva ante la consecución de dicho premio. The structure described is complemented by a pair of speakers also mounted on the head housing, obviously responsible for the acoustic signaling of the prize in question, speakers that emit an effective message when the aforementioned jackpot prize is reached, while they put the fans into operation to spread the confetti outside the machine, the latter generating an authentic festive situation before the achievement of said prize.
