Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betrieb eines Geld­ spielgerätes nach Art eines Roulettes mit einem an der Frontseite des Geldspielgeräts angeordneten rouletteartigen Zahlenkessel und Setztastenfeld, bei dem der Spieler die Höhe des Spieleinsatzes durch Einwurf von Münzen und an­ schließende Tastenwahl festlegt und dann ein Mikroprozessor mittels eines Zufallsalgorithmus das Spielergebnis ermittelt und, wenn eine gesetzte Zahl getroffen wurde, die Münzaus­ gabeeinheit zum Auswerfen des Gewinns ansteuert und ein Geldspielgerät zur Durchführung des Verfahrens.The invention relates to a method for operating a money Play equipment in the manner of a roulette with one on the Front of the gaming machine arranged roulette-like Number kettle and setting keypad, where the player Amount of the bet by inserting coins and an determines the final key selection and then a microprocessor the game result is determined by means of a random algorithm and, if a set number has been hit, the coin Control unit for ejecting the profit and on Gaming machine for performing the method.

Bei bekannten gattungsgemäßen Geldspielgeräten können mit einer oder mehrerer Münzen Zahlen von 0 bis 12 gesetzt wer­ den. Je nach gesetztem Zahlenfeld und nach der Wahl des Spielers wird bei einem Gewinn ein Betrag in Höhe des zwölf­ fachen des Einsatzes auf die Gewinnzahl gegeben. Es hat sich jedoch gezeigt, daß ein maximal erreichbarer Gewinnmultiplika­ tor von 12 den Spielern nur einen geringen Spielanreiz gibt, die von anderen Geldspielgeräten die Möglichkeit zur Erzie­ lung von Jackpot-Gewinnen kennen.In known generic gaming machines can with one or more coins numbers are set from 0 to 12 the. Depending on the number field and the choice of The player will win an amount equal to twelve times the stake given on the winning number. It has however, shown that a maximum achievable multiple of profits goal out of 12 gives the players little incentive to play, that of other gaming machines the opportunity to educate know jackpot wins.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, das eingangs ge­ nannte Verfahren zum Betrieb eines Geldspielgeräts nach Art eines Roulettes so zu verbessern, daß zufallsabhängig die Möglichkeit besteht einen jackpot-artigen Größtgewinn zu erzielen. Ferner ist es die Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Geld­ spielgerät so auszubilden, daß es die Durchführung des Ver­ fahrens ermöglicht.The object of the invention is that initially ge named procedure for operating a gaming machine according to Art to improve a roulette so that the Possibility of a jackpot-like biggest win achieve. Furthermore, it is the object of the invention to make money Train game device so that it is the implementation of Ver allows driving.

Erfindungsgemäß erfolgt die Lösung der Aufgabe bezüglich des Verfahrens durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 und bezüglich des Geldspielgeräts durch die kennzeichnen­ den Merkmale des Anspruchs 4. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung werden in den abhängigen Ansprüchen beschrie­ ben. According to the invention, the problem is solved with respect to Procedure by the characterizing features of the claim 1 and regarding the gaming machine by the the features of claim 4. Advantageous refinements the invention are described in the dependent claims ben.  

Nach der Erfindung ist es für den Spieler möglich, daß bei einem Treffer der gesetzten Zahl der Zufallsgenerator des zusätzlichen Prozessors einen Gewinnmultiplikator für den Gewinn ermittelt, der um ein Vielfaches größer ist als bei bekannten Geldspielgeräten. Bei erfindungsgemäß ausge­ führten Geldspielgeräten sind die Faktoren des zufallsab­ hängigen Gewinnmultiplikators z. B. in folgendem Rastern gestaffelt: 10, 25, 50, 100, 1000 bzw 8, 12, 20, 100, 1000. Der statistische Mittelwert tatsächlich erfolgter Auszah­ lungen beträgt ebenfalls 12, das heißt auch bei Einsatz des zusätzlichen Zufallsgenerators verbleibt es im statistischem Mittel bei dem Gewinnmultiplikator von 12. Der Zufallsgenera­ tor des zusätzlichen Prozessors ist aber so ausgelegt, daß in 85% bzw. 65% aller Spielsituationen beim Treffer auf einer gesetzten Zahl der Zufallsgenerator lediglich den unteren Gewinnmultiplikator ermittelt. Wenn 15 Einsätze auf eine Zahl gesetzt sind, erhält der Spieler in diesem Fall also lediglich das Zehnfache bzw. Achtfache seiner Einsätze und damit weniger als bei den bekannten Geldspielgeräten. Da­ gegen ermittelt der Zufallsgenerator des zusätzlichen Pro­ zessors in 15% bzw. 35% aller Spielsituationen mit einem Tref­ fer auf eine gesetzte Zahl einen höheren Gewinnmultiplikator wie z. B. 25, 50, 100, 1000 oder 12, 10, 100, 1000. Bei 15 Ein­ sätzen auf die getroffene Zahl ist also ein jackpot-artiger Hauptgewinn von fünfzehntausend Einsätzen möglich. Hierdurch wird der Spielanreiz für den Spieler wesentlich erhöht. Durch Ausbildung des zusätzlichen Prozessors als 33 Bit- Prozessor mit Zufallsgenerator ist es aufgrund der großen Anzahl von ca. 4,2 Mrd. Basiszahlen praktisch nicht möglich, die einen Jackpot bewirkende Zufallskombination zu ermit­ teln. Hierdurch besteht für den Gerätebetreiber eine große Sicherheit dagegen, daß Unbefugte durch Manipulation einen Jackpot erzielen.According to the invention it is possible for the player that a hit of the set number of the random number generator additional processor a profit multiplier for the Determined profit that is many times greater than in known gaming machines. In accordance with the invention led gaming machines are the factors of chance pending profit multiplier z. B. in the following grid staggered: 10, 25, 50, 100, 1000 or 8, 12, 20, 100, 1000. The statistical mean of the actual payout lungs is also 12, which means even when using the additional random generator it remains in the statistical Means the winning multiplier of 12. The Random Genera gate of the additional processor is designed so that in 85% or 65% of all game situations when hitting one set number of the random number generator only the lower one Profit multiplier determined. If 15 bets on one In this case, the player receives a number only ten times or eight times his bets and thus less than with the known gaming machines. There against the random generator of the additional pro cessors in 15% or 35% of all game situations with a hit a higher number multiplier on a set number such as B. 25, 50, 100, 1000 or 12, 10, 100, 1000. At 15 Ein So betting on the number hit is like a jackpot Main prize of fifteen thousand bets possible. Hereby the game incentive for the player is significantly increased. By designing the additional processor as a 33 bit It is due to the large random processor 4.2 billion basic numbers practically impossible, to determine the random combination that causes a jackpot teln. This creates a major one for the device operator Security against the fact that unauthorized persons manipulate one Get the jackpot.

Es kann auch ergänzend oder alternativ eine Risikoschaltung vorgesehen werden. Durch Betätigung einer Risikotaste kann der Spieler dann z. B. mit Risiko um den Jackpot spielen und hat dadurch die Möglichkeit, eine Art Super-Jackpot zu er­ zielen. In diesem Fall ist es vorteilhaft, an der Front­ fläche des Geldspielgeräts den Status "Jackpot" anzuzeigen, damit der Spieler noch für einen kurzen Zeitraum Gelegenheit hat, das Risikospiel zu beginnen.It can also be supplementary or alternative to a risk switch be provided. By pressing a risk button the player then z. B. risk playing for the jackpot and has the opportunity to win a kind of super jackpot  aim. In this case it is advantageous to be at the front display the status of the jackpot status "jackpot", so that the player has a short opportunity has to start the risk game.

In der Zeichnung ist ein erfindungsgemäßes Geldspielgerät in einer perspektivischen Ansicht dargestellt, das nachstehend näher erläutert wird.In the drawing, a gaming machine according to the invention is in a perspective view shown below is explained in more detail.

An der Frontseite des Gerätegehäuses 2 des Geldspielgeräts 1 ist ein rouletteartiger Zahlenkessel 3 und ein Setztasten­ feld 10 ausgebildet. Oberhalb des Zahlenkessels 3 befindet sich ein Aufsatzteil 4 mit einem Anzeigefeld 5 für Gewinn­ multiplikatoren und ein Anzeigefeld 6 zur Anzeige, daß das Geldspielgerät 1 ein Roulette-Spielgerät ist. Auf der Ober­ seite des Aufsatzteils 4 befindet sich eine Blinkleuchte 7, die bei einer Störung des Geldspielgerätes und bei einem Jackpot blinkt. Hierdurch kann das Aufsichtspersonal sofort Abweichungen vom normalen Spielbetrieb oder das Auftreten von Störungen erkennen. Das Aufsatzteil 4 kann auch in das eigentliche Gerätegehäuse 2 integriert sein. Neben dem Zah­ lenkessel 3 befindet sich ein Anzeigefeld 8 für die Ge­ winnanzeige und ein Anzeigefeld 9 zur Anzeige des noch zur Verfügung stehenden Einsatzes. Zwischen dem Zahlenkessel 3 und dem Setztastenfeld 10 befinden sich Funktionstasten 11, 12 sowie der Münzeinwurfschlitz 13. Unter dem Setztastenfeld 10 sind weitere Funktionstasten 14, 15, 16 sowie die Münz­ auswurfschale 17 angeordnet.On the front of the device housing 2 of the gaming machine 1 , a roulette-like number kettle 3 and a set key field 10 is formed. Above the number kettle 3 there is an attachment part 4 with a display field 5 for profit multipliers and a display field 6 for indicating that the gaming machine 1 is a roulette game device. On the upper side of the attachment part 4 there is a flashing light 7 which flashes in the event of a malfunction in the gaming machine and in the case of a jackpot. As a result, the supervisory staff can immediately recognize deviations from normal game operations or the occurrence of faults. The attachment part 4 can also be integrated into the actual device housing 2 . In addition to the Zah lenkessel 3 there is a display panel 8 for the profit display and a display panel 9 for displaying the still available use. Function keys 11 , 12 and the coin slot 13 are located between the number kettle 3 and the setting keypad 10 . Under the setting keypad 10 , further function keys 14 , 15 , 16 and the coin ejection tray 17 are arranged.

Das Setztastenfeld 10 weist Tastenfelder für die Zahlen 0 bis 12 sowie Tastenfelder für die hohen Zahlen 7 bis 12 und für die niedrigen Zahlen 1 bis 6 und für nur auf dem schwar­ zen oder nur auf dem roten Untergrund angeordnete Zahlen auf. Der maximale Einsatz von Münzen bei einer Spielperiode ist je Tastenfeld auf 15 Münzen begrenzt. Wird die gesetzte Zahl getroffen, ist ein Treffer erzielt. In diesem Fall wird von dem Mikroprozessor der Steuereinheit in dem Gerätege­ häuse ein zusätzlicher Prozessor mit einem Zufallsgenerator angesteuert, der aufgrund des eingelesenen Algorithmus den Gewinnmultiplikator ermittelt. Dieser kann z. B. nach einer Staffelung 10, 25, 50, 100, 1000 oder 8, 12, 20, 100, 1000 ausgelegt sein. Wird der Gewinnmultiplikator 1000 ermittelt, ist ein Jackpot erzielt und das Geldspielgerät 1 wirft 1000 mal den Einsatz aus, in diesem Beispiel 15 000 Münzen.The setting keypad 10 has keypads for the numbers 0 to 12 and keypads for the high numbers 7 to 12 and for the low numbers 1 to 6 and for numbers arranged only on the black or only on the red background. The maximum use of coins in a game period is limited to 15 coins per key field. If the number bet is hit, a hit is scored. In this case, the microprocessor of the control unit in the device housing controls an additional processor with a random generator, which determines the profit multiplier on the basis of the algorithm read. This can e.g. B. according to a graduation 10, 25, 50, 100, 1000 or 8, 12, 20, 100, 1000. If the profit multiplier 1000 is determined, a jackpot is achieved and the gaming machine 1 ejects the bet 1,000 times, in this example 15,000 coins.
