Abstract

  • 1. Verfahren zur Ermittlung eines Verlaufs eines Speilfeldes, bestehend aus einer Mehrzahl von Speilfeldern, die ein Startfeld mit einem Zielfeld verbinden.
  • 2.1 Münzbetätigte Unterhaltungsautomaten weisen eine Spieleinrichtung, bestehend aus einem Monitor, auf. Mittels des Monitors wird u. a. ein aus Feldern gebildetes Spielfeld abgebildet. Mit der Neuerung soll eine möglichst große Varianz von Spielfeldern erzielt werden.
  • 2.2 Zu diesem Zweck wird zu Beginn eines jeden Spiels von der Steuereinheit ermittelt, wieviele Felder zwischen dem Startfeld und dem Zielfeld liegen sollen. Durch die so ermittelte Anzahl von Feldern wird das neue Spielfeld gebildet.

  • 1. Method for determining a course of a game field, consisting of a plurality of game fields that connect a start field with a target field.
  • 2.1 Coin-operated amusement machines have a gaming device consisting of a monitor. Using the monitor, a field made up of fields is depicted. The aim of the innovation is to achieve the greatest possible variety of playing fields.
  • 2.2 For this purpose, the control unit determines at the beginning of each game how many fields should be between the starting field and the target field. The new playing field is formed from the number of fields determined in this way.
