Definitions
- a money-operated entertainment device with a game device consisting of several illuminable, profit-specific display elements and with a computer-controlled control unit for game sequence control.
- DE 36 38 100 AI discloses a coin-operated, prospective game device in the manner of a roulette with a roulette wheel consisting of number fields, on which a circumferential ball can be simulated as a light point, and with a panel provided with key fields that represents the numbers of the roulette wheel to bet on a winning number or a group of winning numbers.
- the individual number fields are assigned lamps which illuminate the number fields in the form of a point of light in a direction of rotation in succession during the course of the determination of the winnings in order to simulate the course of a roulette game.
- an illuminated numerical field results which, in the case of agreement with the associated set keypad of the panel triggers a profit.
- game devices provided with a symbol game device which as a rule have three circulating bodies designed as rollers, disks or folding card carousels.
- the revolving bodies have symbols on the surface that can be seen from the outside through the reading window.
- the revolving bodies are stopped one after the other and after all the revolving bodies have come to a standstill, the symbol combination indicated in the reading window indicates a profit or loss.
- light fields covered with symbols are also used, each of which is assigned a revolving light point. In this case, at the end of the game, the light fields marked by the light spots determine a win or loss.
- known entertainment devices with a symbol game device often have a risk game device which is designed as an additional game device and which can be actuated in a button-controlled or computer-controlled manner in the event of a win already achieved in the symbol game device.
- the profit already achieved and the achievable profit are highlighted on a risk ladder which displays various profit values on display elements. It is decided via a random number generator in the entertainment device whether the profit already achieved is lost or increased. When the profit is increased, it is displayed again as the profit achieved and also the profit that can now be achieved is highlighted again optically. If the random generator decides that the profit is lost, a total loss display element assigned to the risk manager lights up and a new game can begin.
- the object of the invention is to make the course of the game more interesting in a game device of the type mentioned at the beginning and thus to offer the player further entertainment and therefore a greater incentive to play by making the game event more varied.
- the game device is designed as a risk game device which increases a game stake or a partial amount thereof or a multiple thereof if there is a risk of loss.
- the risk game device comprises a risk column placed on a standing housing, which consists of a display ladder composed of display elements lying one above the other. This results, on the one hand, in a simple change in the location of the entertainment device and, on the other hand, in a visually striking representation of the risk-playing device.
- each display element of the risk column is divided into at least two display segments which represent the same profit value and are spatially offset from one another.
- the display elements of the risk column are expediently designed to be circular or polygonal. With appropriate design of the display segments of the individual display elements, this enables an all-round view of the risk column, whereby a relatively large group of people can follow the game in addition to the player.
- the bottom display element of the risk column is occupied with a total loss and the display elements above it are in increasing order with profits. sets.
- a display field is provided at the upper end of the risk column, in which the profit achieved at the respective level can additionally be represented within the risk column.
- This display field is preferably divided into at least two display segments which are offset from one another and represent the same profit value. This makes it possible to view the highlighted profit from several perspectives.
- the display elements of the risk column are designed as a display that can be changed in its assignment.
- the installer of the entertainment device can adapt the entertainment device to the changing requirements of different installation sites by simply redesigning the assignment of the display elements of the risk column.
- a rapid change in the type of win shown on the display elements money wins, special game wins, in which a winning key with an increased chance of winning is used, for example every win achieved is doubled, free spin wins, point wins and the like
- the given the amount of the winnings whereby a partial transfer of winnings can also be provided.
- the start of the game is expediently triggered when a sufficient stake is shown in a credit display by actuating a manual start lever.
- the start of the game can also be computer-controlled by pressing a button.
- the credit display is assigned a button for the gradual selection of the amount of the game bet in the risk column.
- the player can therefore determine the amount of entry into the risk pillar according to his credit. The player can thus choose the stake and thereby determine the amount of the achievable profit.
- the risk column is assigned a risk button, the actuation of which either achieves the higher profit or the stake or profit used is lost. Furthermore, it is preferably provided that an acceptance button is assigned to the risk column, the actuation of which aborts the risk offer and the profit obtained is accepted.
- At least one loudspeaker is preferably attached within the stand housing. The loudspeaker is used for acoustic information and animation, both during the risk game and in the non-play time.
- the risk pillar is expediently switched as an animation device in the game-free time, ie the display elements of the risk pillar light up in a predetermined or randomly controlled manner.
- the risk game device is preferably accommodated in a wall housing.
- several risk game devices are arranged in the wall housing.
- the display elements of the risk game device are each subdivided into a display area occupied by a profit and a display area flashing during the risk game.
- the entertainment device is expediently provided with a coin slot, a bill entry slot and / or a user card entry slot. In this way, the entertainment device can be operated with different means of payment.
- the risk game device is assigned at least one additional profit game device in which a profit achieved in the risk game device can be played out.
- the additional prize game device is preferably designed in the manner of a roulette with a roulette wheel consisting of display fields, on which a revolving ball can be simulated as a light point.
- the additional prize game device is preferably a symbol game device whose circulating bodies carrying symbols show a game result after they have been stopped behind reading windows.
- At least one of the circulating bodies of the symbol game device and / or a separately provided circulating body is expediently provided with at least one visible channel for receiving coins which extends outward from its axis of rotation and which, when a coin occurs certain event in the risk game device and / or the additional profit game device can be output via an output device.
- the player can thus immediately see in real terms what amount of coins he actually receives in the event of a win, and in addition the player can estimate the total value of the coins on the basis of the recognizability of the filling level of the circulating body with coins.
- At least one jackpot game arrangement is assigned to the risk game device in order to achieve an additional profit.
- the jackpot game arrangement consists of a light bar comprising various profit display elements. When a certain event occurs in the risk gaming facility and / or in the additional profit gaming facility a certain profit display element of the light bar is illuminated, which carries a symbol related to the profit achieved. If a certain number of profit display elements of the light bar is illuminated, the additional profit is given.
- the light bar of the jackpot game arrangement can, however, also consist of neutral, illuminated display elements which are illuminated one after the other when a certain event occurs in the risk game device and / or the additional profit play device and trigger the additional profit when the light bar is fully illuminated.
- FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of an entertainment device according to the invention.
- the entertainment device provided with a computer-controlled control unit for the entire course of the game has a risk game device 1 which increases the risk of losing a game and which is accommodated in a circular risk column 3 placed on a cuboid standing housing 2.
