Abstract

Entertainment machine with a symbol-play device. Players on entertainment machines are only to a limited extent afforded the possibility of participating in the choice of play incentive. The new entertainment machine has the possibility of enabling the player to determine the play incentive himself. At the start of each game, the player can, by means of an operating element, preselect the desired risk ratio with which, by staking his win, he would like to achieve an increased win. The selected risk is displayed visibly to the player in an indicator member. A random-number generator makes the decision as to a win or a loss.

Das Block­ schaltbild 20 umfaßt die aus 3 Umlaufkörpern 3-5 gebildete Symbol-Spieleinrichtung 2, die Steuereinheit 10, mehr­ stellige Sieben-Segment-Anzeigen 6, 7, 19 a von Zählern 21-23, die aus gewinnindividuellen Anzeigeorganen 11 a-k gebildete Gewinnanzeigeleiter 11 sowie das Bedienele­ ment 19. Die Steuereinheit 10 umfaßt eine Einrichtung 24 zur Ermittlung des Gewinns im Gewinnlinienspiel der Symbol-Spieleinrichtung, eine von der Einrichtung 24 aktivierbare Schrittschalteinrichtung 25, einen Zufalls­ generator 26, sowie ein Steuerwerk 27 des Zufallsgene­ rators 26.The devices necessary for understanding the invention of the entertainment machine are shown in FIG. 2 in a block diagram 20 . The block circuit diagram 20 includes the 3 game bodies 3-5 symbol game device 2 , the control unit 10 , more digit seven-segment displays 6, 7, 19 a of counters 21-23 , 11 a-k formed from profit-individual display elements 11 profit indicator ladder 11th and the control element 19 . The control unit 10 comprises a device 24 for determining the profit in the payline game of the symbol game device, a step switching device 25 which can be activated by the device 24 , a random generator 26 , and a control unit 27 of the random generator 26 .

Nach Stillstand der Umlaufkörper 3-5 wird mit der Ein­ richtung 24 der Gewinnwert ermittelt und in einem gewinn­ individuellen Speicher- und Anzeigeelement der Schritt­ schalteinrichtung 25 zwischengespeichert. Der Gewinn kann entweder sofort gegeben oder aber zur Risikodis­ position in der Schrittschalteinrichtung 25 unter Zuhilfe­ nahme des Zufallsgenerators 26 erhöht oder verringert werden.After the circulation body 3-5 has come to a standstill, the win value is determined with the device 24 and the step switching device 25 is temporarily stored in a win-specific individual storage and display element. The profit can either be given immediately or can be increased or decreased for risk disposition in the stepping device 25 with the aid of the random generator 26 .

Ein im Gewinnlinienspiel erzielter und in der Schritt­ schalteinrichtung 25 zwischengespeicherter und mit einem Anzeigeelement der Gewinnanzeigeleiter 11 angezeigter Gewinn kann auf Wunsch des Spielers zugunsten eines höheren Gewinns unter Verlust des Einsatzes riskiert werden. Die Gewinnhöhen, die dem Speicher und den Anzeige­ elementen zugeordnet sind, bilden eine Folge mit im wesentlichen geometrischer Progression, d. h., daß die nächste Gewinnhöhe des nächsten Anzeigeelementes durch Multiplikation mit dem Faktor 2 aus dem vorherigen hervor­ geht. Nach Stillsetzung der Umlaufkörper 3-5 der Symbol- Spieleinrichtung 2 wird der Gewinnwert des Gewinnlinien­ spiels mit der Einrichtung 24 ermittelt. Die Einrichtung schaltet einen Gewinnimpuls zu der Schrittschaltein­ richtung 25, durch den ein gewinnindividuelles Speicher­ element belegt wird. Mit dem Ausgangssignal des Speicher­ elements wird eines der Anzeigeelemente 11 a-k z. B. 11 a aktiviert, so daß der erzielte Gewinn - 0,20 DM - sichtbar wird. Die Ausgänge der Schrittschalteinrichtung 25 sind je nach der Gewinnart mit einem Gewinnzähler 22 bzw. mit einem Sonderspielzähler 21 jeweils über eine Tor­ schaltung 21 a, 22 b verbunden. Die Torschaltungen 21 a, 22 b lassen sich durch Öffnungssignale auf Durchgang schalten, so daß der Stand des jeweiligen Zählers 21, 22 um den gewinnentsprechenden Betrag erhöht werden kann. Die Öffnungssignale werden jeweils über ein vom Spieler betätigbares Bedienelement 16 zu den Torschal­ tungen 21 a, 22 b geleitet. Bei Nicht-Betätigung des Bedien­ elementes 16 wird der Zufallsgenerator 26 aktiviert. Mit dem als Taster ausgebildeten Bedienelement 19 ist ein Risikozähler 23 gemäß der wachsenden geometrischen ProgressionA profit achieved in the payline game and buffered in the step switching device 25 and displayed with a display element of the profit display conductor 11 can be risked at the request of the player in favor of a higher profit while losing the stake. The winnings that are assigned to the memory and the display elements form a sequence with essentially geometric progression, ie that the next winnings of the next display element are obtained by multiplying by a factor of 2 from the previous one. After the circulation bodies 3-5 of the symbol game device 2 have been stopped, the win value of the payline game is determined with the device 24 . The device switches a winning pulse to the step switching device 25 , through which a profit-specific storage element is occupied. With the output signal of the memory element one of the display elements 11 a-k z. B. 11 a activated so that the profit achieved - 0.20 DM - is visible. The outputs of the stepping device 25 are, depending on the type of win with a win counter 22 or with a special game counter 21 each connected via a gate circuit 21 a , 22 b . The gate circuits 21 a , 22 b can be switched to passage by opening signals, so that the level of the respective counter 21, 22 can be increased by the amount corresponding to the profit. The opening signals are each directed via a control element 16 operable by the player to the scoring lines 21 a , 22 b . If the control element 16 is not actuated, the random generator 26 is activated. With the control element 19 designed as a button, a risk counter 23 is in accordance with the growing geometric progression

a n = aq n-1 a n = aq n -1

veränderbar, mitchangeable, with

a n = Risiko nach n-ter Betätigung des Bedien­ elementes,a₁= erstes Glied der Folge mit dem Wert 1, und q= Quotient, mit dem Wert 2. a n = risk after operating the control element n , a ₁ = first link in the sequence with the value 1, and q = quotient with the value 2.

In der Ausgangsstellung ist der Risikozähler 23 auf 1 gesetzt. Der Zählerstand wird in der 3stelligen Sieben-Segment-Anzeige 19 a dargestellt. Durch ein Be­ tätigen des Tasters 19 ist der Zählerstand veränderbar. Der Zähler ist vom Spieler gewinnlinienabhängig zwischen 1 und 128 einstellbar. Das Risikoverhältnis 1 : 128 ist nur beim kleinsten Geldgewinn von 0,20 DM möglich, d. h., bei einem Gewinnwert im Gewinnlinienspiel von 0,20 DM und einem Risikoverhältnis von 1 : 128 erhält der Spieler im Gewinnspiel 40 Sonderspiele. Ist der Ausgangsgewinn im Risikospiel 2 Sonderspiele, so kann der Spieler ein Risikoverhältnis bis 1 : 8 wählen, d. h. der Gewinnwert ist 40 Sonderspiele. Ein ausgangsseitiges Signal des Risikospeichers 23 aktiviert das Steuerwerk 27 des Zu­ fallsgenerators 26. Das Steuerwerk 27 ermittelt aus dem eingestellten Risikoverhältnis gemäß dem TermIn the starting position, the risk counter 23 is set to 1. The counter reading is shown in the 3-digit seven-segment display 19 a . By pressing the button 19 Be the counter reading can be changed. The player can set the counter between 1 and 128 depending on the win line. The risk ratio of 1: 128 is only possible with the smallest cash win of 0.20 DM, ie, with a win value in the draw game of 0.20 DM and a risk ratio of 1: 128, the player receives 40 special games in the competition. If the initial prize in the risk game is 2 special games, the player can choose a risk ratio of up to 1: 8, ie the winning value is 40 special games. An output signal of the risk memory 23 activates the control unit 27 of the case generator 26 . The control unit 27 determines from the set risk ratio according to the term

die Aktivierungsanzahl N des Zufallsgenerators 26. Bei einem Risikoverhältnis von 1 : 128 wird der Zufallsgene­ rator 8mal nacheinander betätigt und das zuletzt er­ mittelte Ergebnis wird der Schrittschalteinrichtung 25 zugeführt. Der ermittelte Gewinn wird von der Schritt­ schalteinrichtung 25 in einem mit ihr verbundenen Anzeige­ element 11 a-k sichtbar gemacht und dem Gewinnwert ent­ sprechend wird der Zähler 21, 22 erhöht.the activation number N of the random generator 26 . With a risk ratio of 1: 128, the random generator is actuated 8 times in succession and the result which was averaged last is fed to the step switching device 25 . The determined profit is made visible by the step switching device 25 in a display element 11 a-k connected to it and the profit value is increased accordingly, the counter 21, 22 .

Die Anzeigeorgane der zweiten Gewinnanzeigeleiter 12 werden von einem zweiten Schrittschaltwerk aktiviert, das aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit nicht dargestellt wurde.The display elements of the second profit display ladder 12 are activated by a second stepping mechanism, which has not been shown for reasons of clarity.
