In addition, the conventional gaming table points with a plurality of player slots essentially the following Facilities on: a facility is assigned to each playground to insert a token (token or token or real money ze) with a uniformly defined value of, for example, 1 Dollar; a counter which records every throw in of a token and registers the number of these tokens accumulated in the jackpot; a display of the amount of money accumulated in the jackpot; and a computer among other things for the administration of the Jackpotanspa and for the distribution of profits that is made in the event that the player won in the main game - whereby the Ge Winning odds (total jackpot or a percentage of the jack pots or a defined number of tokens) after the combination nation of playing cards that led to winning the main game has, judges. Several game tables can go to the jackpot system. Only one type flows into the jackpot part of 93 to 97% of the bets placed, the difference remains with the bank as a profit. The bank advantage is demented 3 to 7% of the stakes for the jackpot.

A reference to the playability of a jackpot game in connection with the game of roulette or an indication of which concept play equipment for a rou lette jackpot game should or could be found in the State of the art neither suggested nor hinted at.  

Detailed solutions known according to the prior art, which the Er Finding uses can be found in the context below and partially cited (WO 96/14115 A1 = EP 0 790 848 B1).

Object and solution according to the invention

The invention has for its object in roulette to sheep a jackpot game for dynamic to provide increasing jackpot levels at which the Participation in the game is optional, the game system for the players is easy to understand, easier to achieve interim profits and a particularly lucrative main prize (winning the jackpot) possible and the winable respective jackpot stand are displayed openly becomes. In a further developed technical embodiment the jackpot game controls itself automatically and the game sequences also Record automatically and have it evaluated. Furthermore, the system allow a plurality of roulette tables on the jackpot game to participate.

The complex task is done with a play structure with the characteristics of claim 1, wherein the dependent patent Claims 2 to 15 special configurations and further training find the invention specified.

The following explanations relate to the game of roulette.

Every player on roulette can make one or more bets take part. A knowledge of the rules of the game and diverse betting possibilities of the roulette game is for the roulette jackpot game not required; only the following basic features are essential of the roulette.

Roulette is played on a roulette table. The game table is covered with a cloth (play cloth) on which the for the implementation tion of the game, technically referred to as coup, required Symbols and fields for placing the tokens (tokens) open are printed. This part of the roulette table or its game  ches, the playing field, is called the roulette table. The Rou lettenableau contains the classic variant of roulette 37 number fields for the numbers 0 to 36 and betting fields together quantified ranges of numbers. Except for the numbers (Plein) and Zah The ranges can be based on the colors rouge (red) and noir (black) and on the odds Pair (even numbers) and Impair (odd numbers) be set.

In addition to the roulette table, the roulette table contains a kettle well-designed rotatable disc, the so-called Roulettekes sel, which has 37 compartments on the bottom, one each of the numbers 0 to 36 (number fan), and at its top Has area around a trough for the roulette ball.

In a variant of the roulette, especially in the USA This includes the roulette wheel and the roulette table in addition to the Number 0 (zero) also a double zero (00; double zero); consequently there are 38 number fields and 38 number fields (for the numbers 0, 00, 1 to 36).

Unless otherwise stated, the further Be refers writing the invention on the classic roulette variant 37 numbers (0, 1 to 36) - and basically also applies to the Va Riante with 38 numbers (0, 00, 1 to 36).

After the bets have been placed on the roulette table, the roulette ball against the direction of rotation of the wheel Thrown channel, from which after a few laps it Leaves the kettle edge and finally into one of the 37 number compartments falls. The decisive factor in the game is the number field in which roulette ball comes to rest.

The following explanations relate to the jackpot game.

According to the game plan according to the invention for the roulette jackpot game is also decisive for the game obtained with the coup Number (0-36). The following gameplay can apply.  

The jackpot player participating in the roulette game is betting on that Jackpot game on Plein (one of the roulette numbers 0 to 36) - and sets - especially - on a specially for the jackpot game Setzfeld seen, the Jackpot tableau, a token (token or token). The jackpot tableau has 37 number fields (0 to 36) - or 38 number fields (0, 00, 1 to 36) for the above extended roulette version - each Number field represents one of the roulette numbers. The jack Potableau is preferably between the usual roulette tableau and the roulette wheel.

However, you can also do without your own jackpot tableau, if the number field for placing the chips for the jackpot game the roulette table and tokens are used, which are different from the chips for roulette. The Like chips are referred to as jackpot chips in the following.

This corresponds to the number set for the jackpot game (jackpot number) the number dropped in the roulette wheel (number of bowls) the player already has a base win, and the real one Jackpot game starts. To do this, a device is started which allows either only one of the roulette numbers (0 to 36 or 0, 00, 1 to 36) or a number-free result nis to play.

Such a play device could work mechanically, for example on the principle of a wheel of fortune or a lottery machine with ejection of balls, which are a number or none Bear number. On the other hand, electromechanical musical mechanisms with rollers. However, an elec tronic play device provided which the play out number or the countless result after a random jump zip determined. The result obtained can then be on a Show display device.  

Since the jackpot game is the coup sequence of the main game (roulette) The jackpot game is preferably not to delay with short-term electronic play equipment conditions, the playing time of which is also adjustable.

Carrying out the jackpot game after achieving the base Prize can be won in several turns with one possibility an interim profit. For statistical reasons two turns are not exceeded, otherwise the Jackpot would drop too rarely, causing the targeted additional there would be no incentive to play roulette.

The jackpot game can now be organized in such a way that First there is an interlude, after winning the game in another turn to play for the entire jackpot. An electronic play device is preferably used for this, which of the numbers 0 to 35 is one of these numbers averages. The jackpot number played matches the number of kettles match, the player receives a higher than the base win hereditary additional profit. Correct the jackpot number played Jack does not match the number of boilers Pot game ended, and the next main game (roulette) can be start.

If the aforementioned interlude has been won, it will Jackpot game started. That could be the game process the interlude, where the chance of winning is 1:37 be fetched. More attractive, however, because according to the laws of Statistics result in higher amounts of winnings when playing to lower the jackpot chances of winning, for example to 1:74. When using an electronic play device This is to be interpreted in 74 positions so that not only the numbers 0 to 36, but just as many (37) spaces given are. In this regard, the numbers and spaces can be used arrange len in a number ring or a position ring. Such a game device with which both the Zwi  schenspiel as well as the final game for the jackpot to be guided can be found below.

For a more immediate understanding, the invention is as follows immediately as an example and based on principle figures in general and in particular explained in more detail.

Brief description of the figures

It shows

Fig. 1 shows a roulette table (only the game surface is shown) with a conventional roulette table and between the roulette table and the roulette wheel arranged jackpot table and also a device for executing the jackpot game - as part of a game system according to the invention;

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the device for executing the jackpot game shown in FIG. 1, designed as a “chaser arrangement”;

Fig. 3 is a circuit diagram for the association of several (here four) roulette tables (each with associated Vorrich device for executing the jackpot game) for joint participation in the jackpot game.

Ways of Carrying Out the Invention

For the following description of the invention, general Roulette tables with a jackpot table provided. The all general explanations of the rules of the game or the course of the game the jackpot game, which involves placing the chips for deal with the jackpot game then apply - unless otherwise is specified - accordingly also for the execution of the game without Jackpot tableau, where special jackpot chips are placed on the Number fields of the roulette table can be set.

Regardless of the chance set on the roulette table 1 (color, pair, impair, number or number combination) for the roulette game, the player who wants to play the jackpot game places a token on a number field 2 of the jackpot table 3 or on a number field 2 a of the roulette table 1 . The token for the jackpot game has a unit value (e.g. 10 DM) and can be a standard roulette chip or a special token or token.

No player in the jackpot game should be allowed to place more than one bet in order not to unjustifiably multiply his chances of winning at the expense of the players who have not bet multiple times. If multiple bets were allowed, in extreme cases a single player could occupy all 37 number fields 2 of the jackpot tableau 3 and thus have the absolutely certain chance of winning the jackpot. Preferably no number pad 2 or 2 a should be more occupied as a bet for the jackpot game to a division of the fallen jackpots to avoid multiple players. However, there is no need for such a rule of the game; Each casino can set up its own house rules in this regard.

The jackpot tableau 3 is preferably integrated into the playing field of the roulette table ( FIG. 1), but it could also be arranged on a separate game board on or off the roulette table. If one of the numbers placed on the jackpot tableau 3 matches the number that fell in the roulette wheel 4 (number of bowls), the corresponding player receives a base win and takes part in the actual jackpot game. A playout device 5 is used for this purpose , which can determine numbers, possibly also spaces. Such Ausspielvor direction 5 preferably includes a chaser 6 , as illustrated in Fig. 2 and explained in more detail below.

The chaser arrangement 6 shown has a display 7 , on which a number ring 8 is arranged, which carries the numbers 0 to 36 (or for the extended roulette variant: the numbers 0, 00, 1 to 36) in a number field 9 each. The sequence of these numbers is the same - internationally customary - as for the roulette wheel 4 . Within the number ring 8 there is a ring 10 of 37 segments 11 (inner segment ring) and outside a ring 12 of 74 segments 13 (outer segment ring).

While each segment 11 of the inner segment ring 10 is assigned to one of the number fields 9 of the number ring 8 , in the outer segment ring 12 only every second segment 13 is assigned to a number field 9 , those segments 13 which are assigned to a number field 9 being identified by 14 , and the unassigned, neutral segments 13 are marked with 15 .

According to a possible embodiment of the playout device 5 with a chaser arrangement 6 , at least the segments 11 and 13 can be individually illuminated. If desired, the Zah lenfelder 9 can be illuminated. To illuminate the segments 11 , 13 and numerical fields 9 , light bulbs or light-emitting diodes arranged under the translucent display 7 can serve as the light source. On the other hand, it is possible to provide the numbers of the number fields 9 and the segments 11 and 13 as LCD elements. Because of the better conspicuousness of light effects and in particular because of a play of colors in the event that the number fields 9 and the segments 11 and 14 , 15 are executed in different colors or can light up, the illuminated version of the LCD version will be preferable. In the colored version, the colors of the number fields of the roulette wheel (red; black; green for zero) and the roulette table (green) could be adopted accordingly. In this sense, the number field of 9 shines green, while the segments 11 of the inner segment ring 10 and the segments 14 of the outer segment ring 12 assigned to a number field 9 alternately appear red and black (or, for example, gray for better transparency) and those for the number field Zero assigned segments ( 11 , 13 ) turn green again. In contrast to this, the neutral segments 15 of the outer segment 12 that are not assigned a numerical field 9 should be able to light up in a further color, for example in yellow.

The described displays and colorful lighting effects can accordingly also be achieved by means of a color screen, in particular by means of a flat plasma screen. The display 7 is then displayed on the screen.

The chaser arrangement 6 preferably works by means of an internal or an external electronic control so that the segments 11 of the inner segment ring 10 are lit up in turn for a time interval of about 8-10 seconds (inner chaser) for jackpotzwischenspiel, whereby - to increase the tension of the jackpot players - the Umlaufgeschwin speed becomes ever slower until the control switches off arbitrarily and a segment 11 remains illuminated. The number field 9 assigned to this illuminated segment 11 indicates the number played during the interlude, if the number of kettles matches the jackpot game continues.

It should be noted that in the play device 5 on an inner segment ring 10 could be dispensed with, since its function could also take over the ring 8 ; The running light would then remain directly on a number field 9 . It is of course also possible to let the chaser effect take place synchronously on both the inner segment ring 10 and the number ring 8 ; in this case the light then remains on both the numerical field 9 and the associated segment 11 .

The end game for the jackpot takes place accordingly by starting the running light for the outer segment ring 12 (outer running light) in the same way as the inner running light, after which either a number is played again (the outer running light stops in a segment 14 ) or an empty space is determined (the outer running light stops on a neutral segment 15 ). As an alternative to lighting up a segment 14 , one can also light up its associated numerical field 9 .

As an alternative to the running light arrangement 6 shown in FIG. 2 and described above, in which the running light for the intermediate game and the running light for the end game are combined in one image (display), the play-out device 5 for the running lights has two spatially separate displays , for example a lower display with a number ring 8 and an inside or outside ring with segments 11 for the interlude and a display above it with a number ring 8 and an outside ring of segments 13 for the end game for the jackpot.

To display game data, in particular the jackpot level, a display device 16 is used , which either represents an independent device or is integrated as a display field in the display 7 of the chaser arrangement 6 . A corresponding double display can be provided.

The play-out device 5 is preferably set up next to the roulette table and can be automatically pivoted horizontally back and forth on a support 17 for easier reading by the players sitting around the roulette table.

If the number played in the final game for the jackpot matches the number of bowls in the roulette, the jackpot has fallen (won) and the player receives the jackpot amount indicated by the display device 16 from the croupier.

The financing of the jackpot can be quoted in such a way that a percentage of the stake is retained for the bank (bank advantage) and an "open" jackpot and a "hidden" jackpot are paid for with the share flowing into the jackpot. While only the open jackpot displayed by the display device 16 is paid out in the event of a win, the amount saved in the hidden jackpot serves as the starting amount for the next jackpot.

A calculation example is given for this, provided that is that it is the classic roulette variant with 37 Zah len (0 to 36).

The following parameters should apply:
The playing value of the tokens for the jackpot tableau is 10 DM (or dollars or euros or the like).

Each of the 37 number fields 2 of the jackpot tableau 3 is only occupied with a single token.

The rules of the game apply,

• - That if a number of jackpot tableau matches the Rou lettekessel number paid a base profit from the jackpot becomes,
• - that the continued jackpot game initially with 37 numbers (corresponding to the inner chaser) is executed, whereby an interim prize from the jackpot was paid in the event of a win becomes,
• - and that the jackpot game for 74 hits is played to the end, of which 37 opportunities to hit the Roulette numbers are eliminated and 37 hit possibilities empty space len are (corresponding to the outer running light with 37 a number assigned segments and 37 neutral segments).

The base prize is 310 DM (including the wagered Token); the interim profit is DM 620; the bank advantage is 2.70% (the same bank advantage of 1/37 as with the Roulette); the open jackpot is 75%, the hidden jack pot with 25% alimentation.

According to the laws of statistics, the averages given are that every 37th bet on the jackpot tableau for a base win (DM 310), every 1369th bet (37 × 37) for an interim prize (DM 620) and each 101306 Bet (37 × 37 × 74) leads to the jackpot being won, the average jackpot payout amount, provided that the hidden jackpot is only donated to a maximum amount, for example DM 25,000, DM 114,580, as calculated as follows:
Statistically, a total of 101,306 × 10 DM = 1,013,060 DM was made up until the jackpot fell. With a 2.703% bank advantage (1/37), this corresponds to a total deposit in the jackpot of DM 985,680.

With 101306 stakes, the base win of 310 DM is 2664 times due (101306 × 1/37 × 36/37), corresponding to a payout total of the jackpot of DM 825,840. The interim profit of DM 620 is due 73 times (101306 × 1/37 × 1/37 × 73/74) corresponding to a payout amount from the jackpot of DM 45,260. Because of these payout amounts, the result is statistically too expected average jackpot savings of (985 680 - 825 840 - 45260 =) 114,580 DM, which will be paid to the winner.

In the calculation example, both of the above remained Quota of 25% for the alimentation of the hidden jackpot as also the start from the previous jackpot cycle amount not taken into account for the new jackpot cycle. This is correctly done because the starting amount taken over at the beginning is returned to the new jackpot at the end of the cycle, thus neutralizing itself on balance. As a result, it happens in statistical means also not to the amount of the starting amount (for example, 25,000 DM).

The importance of providing a starting amount and either quoted (e.g. in a ratio of 25:75) in a hidden and in to let an open jackpot flow or just to open it Allocating jackpot is from the start of the new jackpotzy klus to give an incentive to play the jackpot game immediately (Opening stock of the open jackpot e.g. 18,750 or 25,000 DM). In addition, the jackpot should be able to Serve statistically early base profits and interim profits to be able to.  

The given calculation example is for general Er only purification. Because all of the above parameters are free to choose are cash and, as a matter of course, also deviating Let the rules of the game be up to the casino operator The roulette jackpot game has a wide variety of options regarding the amount of the bets, the chances of winning and the amount to set up the profits variably.

For the practical and technical handling of the roulette jackpot game, it would be most advantageous to take all gaming events - starting with the detection of the roulette wheel number and the detection of the stakes on the jackpot tableau 3 , then the accounting of the stakes with regard to bank shares and jack pot shares, then that Activation of the play device for the interlude and the end game for the jackpot, furthermore the determination of the winnings and also the display and documentation of the game data and more - to be monitored, controlled and automatically run automatically.

In order to achieve this objective, the following play facility is proposed according to the invention:
For the registration of the game-deciding case of the roulette ball (in the main game) into a certain number fan, a monitoring and registration device already known in the state of the art and possibly already installed on the rouet table can serve as a camera (TV camera; CCD- Image converter; digital camera), which is able to determine the number of bowls on the basis of optical marks on the roulette wheel and the angle between the marks and the position of the roulette ball that has fallen into one of the number compartments. Another variant would be to use the optical device to directly identify the roulette number associated with the fallen ball, which is capitalized on the number fan.

The optical recognition device for the fallen roulette number (number of kettles) reports this number to a central unit 18 , which is designed as a computer and control device, stores the number of kettles and for the entire data management and control of the individual devices and functional devices of the game system for the roulette Jackpot game is responsible.

For recognition of the occupancy of the jackpot panels 3 (here only the jackpot table 3 is addressed - and not the roulette tableau 1 with respect to the number of panels 2 a) ken with the Spielmar, that is, to detect which of the number of panels 2 of the jackpot panel 3 is covered by a token are techniques such as those disclosed in WO 96/14115 A1 (= EP 0 790 848 B1) which relate to a “game system for the professional practice of table games with playing cards and je tons, in particular the game“ black jack ” Then the occupancy of a setting field on a game cloth can be registered, for example, by arranging a unit of light-sensitive detectors, in particular photodiodes sensitive to IR light, below each setting field, which registers the reduction in the passage of light through the game cloth. if there is an opaque object (e.g. jet on). These detector units for determining whether a betting field is occupied with a token, for example, or not, are referred to as occupancy detector units.

If the technology described is applied to the jackpot tableau 3 , provided that only one token may be placed per number field 2 , the occupancy detector units report to the central unit 18 on which number fields 2 a bet for the roulette jackpot game has been placed. On the other hand, an automatic registration of the occupancy status of the jackpot table 3 with tokens could also be carried out by video analysis, specifically according to the principle explained above for detecting the position of the ball that fell in the roulette wheel, namely by means of a camera arranged above the jackpot table.

By comparing the number dropped in the roulette wheel 4 with the set jackpot numbers, the central unit 18 then determines whether a base win has been won, if necessary, has this indicated by the display device 16 and starts the further jackpot game by starting the playout device 5 . If an interim profit has been achieved, the central unit 18 then starts the play device 5 again. If the jackpot falls, it can be provided that the central unit 18 runs acoustic and / or optical animations (for example a fanfare and / or light effects), which clearly indicate that the jackpot has fallen again.

By means of the EDP programs stored in the central unit 18 - created in accordance with the jackpot game rules, calculation requirements, documentation requests and so on - the central unit 18 not only controls the technical equipment of the game system for the jackpot game and not only balances the bank income and jackpot stands, but also offers In addition, the possibility of statistical surveys, for example on the relative frequency of playing out certain numbers and the frequency of base winnings, interim winnings and jackpot payouts, and has daily and monthly balance sheets drawn up.

For casinos that, for economic or other reasons, do not want to operate the fully self-controlling gaming system for executing the roulette jackpot game according to the invention, in particular no roulette table with occupancy detectors for automatic detection of the bets placed on the jackpot tableau 3 , and possibly want to get by with a central unit 18 without a control program for the automatic operation of the play device 5 - the jackpot game can also offer. Increased use of the croupiers is then required.

If the bets on the Jackpot panel 3 does not automatically determine the croupier can the jackpot panels 3 or Number fields 2 Enter the numbers of occupied with a token number fields 2a of the roulette panel 1 by hand in a device connected to the central unit 18 input device that be a handset can or is integrated in the roulette table.

If the game system is to be operated without automatic control of the play device 5 , the croupier has to play the play device 5 , in particular one with a running light arrangement 6 , for the interlude and for the end game each by hand. The prerequisite is that the play device 5 itself contains the control device for the sequence of the running light arrangement 6 .

It is even possible to dispense with the input device mentioned above for entering the numbers bet on the jackpot tableau 3 or on the roulette tableau 1 - specifically because of the nature of the jackpot game to be mastered by the laws of statistics.

Statistically speaking, every 37th bet made on jackpot tableau 3 wins the base win. Accordingly, the jackpot could be aligned in such a way that the jackpot was left unchanged for every coup (roulette) that did not lead to a base win, and only increased when the base win fell due, but then by 37 times that amount Amounts by which the jackpot has to be increased when registering the individual bets placed. Accordingly, in the roulette game with 38 numbers (double zero), the jackpot is increased by 38 times.

In a further development of the invention, several roulette tables 19 participate in the jackpot game in conjunction ( FIG. 3), which accelerates the dynamic rise of the jackpot. Each roulette table 19 is equipped with the same equipment for the jackpot game (jackpot tableau 3 ; playout device 5 with running light arrangement 6 ; display device 16 ) as described above for the jackpot game system for a singular roulette table.

For the jackpot game in the combination of several roulette tables 19, essentially only the computer programs of the central unit 18 need to be expanded accordingly.

Although statistically extremely unlikely, but possible, the jackpot could be won at two tables 19 at the same time. In order to avoid disputes between the two players, who should now be entitled to the jackpot, the jackpot game in the gaming table network is intended to register every fall of the jackpot according to the time and to the player who achieves the criterion for winning the jackpot first has to award the profit.

Otherwise, for the operation of a play facility for a Rou lette jackpot game according to the invention other facilities be provided, e.g. B. Shift buttons that allow the croupier chen, in the automatic gameplay in such a way that, for example, the final for the jackpot, the Freiga be the jackpot win and the provision of the jackpot display on the starting amount of the new jackpot only after a check le whether there is no malfunction of the game and display devices occurred, take place.
