Definitions
- the invention relates to an assembly of a computer with an associated display screen and a game machine, wherein a body, such as a ball, which is freely movable over a practically horizontal field provided with discrete target locations, is used for play.
- This relates in particular to a game machine as referred to in the list of games of chance, electrical billiards with variable stake, usually referred to as 'bingo 1 , wherein the game consists of placing different balls in the holes made on the horizontal surface of the apparatus with the object, in accordance with the type of device, of illuminating different numbers or symbols on the panel of a vertical surface in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line or in a determined zone ⁇
- the electrical billiards with variable stake normally referred to as One-ball', wherein the game consists of placing a ball on the horizontal surface of the apparatus in one of the holes with the same number as the number illuminated on the panel of the vertical surface.
- Such an apparatus is fairly complex, not only in respect of control, but certainly also due to the embodiment and the lighting and the difficulty of changing the game on the display screen on which the results must be shown.
- This difficulty in changing the game is rather a drawback for the player, since the player has the opportunity of choosing a number of game types.
- Each game type has its own designation on the display screen. In the bingo games as currently available on the market, all these game types are shown on the display screen, wherein only those fields are illuminated which are used for the specific game type. This results in an excess of confusing information for the player.
- the invention has for its object to obviate the above stated drawbacks and provides for this purpose an assembly as described in the preamble, which is distinguished in that the screen is provided with one or more result fields which are determined by the software of the computer and on which the data generated by the machine and associated with the discrete target locations struck by the body are indicated.
- this screen can contain any desired pattern of playing surfaces, which pattern then only lights up when the player has made his choice.
- the same screen is subsequently controlled by the information generated at discrete positions.
- a game apparatus is hereby obtained which can be manufactured, assembled, maintained and replaced in simple manner. This is based on the application of software which is entered into the computer and which can be modified or replaced at any random moment .
- the display screen can be any random screen, but is preferably a plasma screen, a TFT or LCD screen, optionally in a projection screen embodiment.
- Figure 2 shows a perspective view of a game machine according to the invention.
- the computer is designated with the numeral 1 and is connected to display screen 3 via a data cable 2.
- the numeral 4 designates the game machine which is embodied with a practically horizontal surface, in practice this takes a slightly inclining form, wherein a movable body 5 can be placed manually on the playing surface and which body 5, here in the shape of a ball, runs down a determined path B depending on the obstacles arranged on the field. Finally, body 5 comes to lie in a discrete position 6 which can be embodied as an opening 6 through which the body 5 can drop. In this hole a signal is generated which is carried via data cable 7 to an electronic interface 12, which in turn communicates via a data cable 13 with the computer, which in turn displays on the screen a determined location corresponding with discrete position 6.
- a field generated by the computer can be seen on display screen 3, on which field the result of the data from discrete position 6 is placed.
- Computer 1 can be controlled with an input means to be operated by the operator, for instance keyboard or mouse (not shown) , such that the computer generates the basic image on display screen 3 via the built-in controllable software, this depending on the choice of the type of game the player wishes to play.
- a second input means 9 is arranged, which is accessible to the player, with which the desired game can be opened using buttons 10, which signal is carried to electronic interface 12 which then communicates with the computer, which generates the desired pattern on screen 3. The player will then place body 5 manually onto field 4, whereby the game progresses through a determined pattern.
- Figure 2 shows an embodiment wherein screen 3 is arranged on the rear side of a gaming machine 4.
- Computer 1, input means 8 and electronic interface 12 are accommodated in lower cabinet 10 and is further not accessible to the player. Only the front side, wherein a panel 9 with controllable buttons 10 is arranged, can be touched by the player. Using plunger 11 a ball or balllike body 5 can then be carried around the playing field 4 along a determined path, such that it comes to lie on playing field 4.
- the game remains the usual one for the player, with a path of body 5 which can be influenced, wherein the player is not distracted by superfluous information on display screen 3.
