Abstract

L'invention se rapporte à une machine automatique à sous agencée en particulier pour permettre de jouer à un jeu de bingo se rapprochant des règles générales de bingo. La machine comprend entre autres un microprocesseur qui commande la sélection des nombres se trouvant dans les 25e champs d'une certaine pièce de bingo. La pièce réelle est tirée parmi un grand nombre de pièces générées par un certain algorithme. La collection de pièces représente un nombre suffisant de numéros pour que chaque pièce semble être générée de manière aléatoire. Une liste de prix pour cette partie du jeu est émise simultanément. Il est ainsi possible de jouer un seul jeu ou une seule partie du jeu à l'aide d'une faible quantité de pièces avec la même probabilité de gagner le grand prix que dans des salles de bingo ordinaires, mais afin que le jeu exerce le même attrait qu'un jeu de chance, il est nécessaire de recevoir fréquemment un prix relativement peu important. Les pièces achetées par le joueur sont affichées sur le panneau, et les éléments dont l'actionnement est requis pour choisir un nouveau jeu ou le mode de paiement sont également disposés sur ce panneau.
