Description

Roller figure selection device rotating machines for recreational machines.

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a device to implement a ticket game on a recreational machine like single game or as an additional game to another, particularly when called the main game of the recreational machines that it uses means carrying symbols such as ribbons or rollers, which are they act by introducing an amount of money preset for each game, and that allow the player to perform presence bets, among the symbols that appear on the display area of said belts or rollers in each cycle of game, of some combinations that have been assigned a prize according to a Certain profit plan.

Background of the invention

Among the games of chance the classic of "trileros" has always been very successful so it does not work strange that the recreational machines have tried to include it in your offer. On the other hand until relatively recently it was habitual in the fairs, tombolas and bars play to "discover the prize hidden in a ticket "(game of "Tickets").

Recreational machine proposals are known that incorporate the game of "trileros" using various types of mechanisms, based on the previous presentation on various supports (rotating discs or rollers, numerical displays) of the possible symbols to be obtained and in their subsequent concealment, to the player then chooses the position where he thinks he is You will find the desired figure. The same does not happen with the theme of  game of the "Tickets", of which no background is known in Recreational machines

It would therefore be of interest to combine the two popular games in one, and implement it on machines recreational to offer players new possibilities of game.

Summary of the invention

The present invention proposes a device for implement a ticket game on a recreational machine like single game or as an additional game to others.

The device according to the invention comprises in first a plurality of rotating rollers of the type of described in Spanish patents 2128273 and 2144960 and the Model of Utility 1048245 or other elements used in the recreational machines as support means of a carrier band of symbols, with the particularity that each roller is covered of a housing with a viewing window sized for display a single symbol, secondly two buttons associated with each roller to be able to move it forward or towards back to show the symbols next to the one displayed and, in third place a viewer to show a prize associated with the game.

The device also comprises motor means. for driving the rollers and electronic means for game control and in this sense, these means are configured, first, to inform the player of whether the option chosen when pressing a button corresponded or not with the position associated with the prize shown in the viewer and, in second term to, in case of mistake, show you that position.

Other features and advantages of this invention will follow from the detailed description of the invention that follows in reference to the drawings They accompany each other.

Brief description of the drawings

Figure 1 is an exploded view of the constituent parts of the device object of the present invention.

Detailed description of the invention

Following figure 1 it is observed that in a preferred embodiment of the invention the device comprises the following items.

First, the rotating rollers 2, 2 ', 2 '' whose bands have printed symbols (not shown) of which half are always the same (which we will call in forward TICKETS) and the other half are symbols not necessarily Equals (which we will call hereinafter AWARDS). Both groups of symbols are interspersed alternately along the printed band, so that a TICKET is always surrounded of two AWARDS.

The rollers 2, 2 ', 2' 'are covered by 4, 4 ', 4' 'black plastic housings in solidarity with the support of holding the rollers to the furniture of the recreational machine, with the in order to avoid any possible manipulation of the bands that allow to "predict" the symbols located on both sides of the TICKETS. These housings incorporate display windows 6, 6 ', 6' ', protected by transparent glass fixed to the housing by rivets to show a single symbol on each roller. It is important that the viewing window prevents access to the roller symbols without leaving traces of it to prevent can add brands that allow to know the AWARDS adjacent to Tickets.

Secondly, the buttons 8, 8 ', 10, 10', 12, 12 '(double the number of rollers) that allow the player "discover" the desired symbol, which is "hidden" above or below the symbol shown in the window 6, 6 ', 6' 'display that will always be at the beginning of the game a TICKET and therefore the adjacent figures on both sides will be AWARDS.

Third, a viewer 18 in which it is displayed in each game cycle the MAXIMUM PRIZE found in the positions adjacent to the TICKETS.

Next we describe the game process in a preferred embodiment of the invention.

Once the TICKET is shown in each of the rollers 2, 2 ', 2' ', the MAXIMUM PRIZE indicated on the display 18 It is associated with the symbols located in the positions next to the symbols shown in the viewing window 6, 6 ', 6' '. From this moment the player is given time to decide which symbol you want to discover. The way of doing this will be by one of the buttons 8, 8 ', 10, 10', 12, 12 ', which will cause the "discretized step" rotation of the roller corresponding and in the selected direction of rotation (upwards or down, depending on the selected button). If the PRIZE selected matches the maximum expectation shown in the viewer 18, the corresponding celebration is held and the process. If not, the maximum prize is shown in the same way. that the one described for the chosen prize, without action by the player, so that he has the conviction that he existed the real possibility of having chosen it, to be hidden again and perform the corresponding prize celebration reached.

Among the AWARDS there may be a TICKET EXTRA, which does not have any specific prize assigned but allow the player to continue with the process, making a new choice, among the symbols of the remaining rollers. If eventually discovering an EXTRA TICKET in each of the rollers would cause a new rotation of all rollers to a new TICKET position, and a new one would start  selection process with a higher prize expectation maximum.

The main advantage of the present invention is the attractiveness of a recreational machine player the to be able to choose the final result of a game, based solely on chance and that this is evidently shown by a mechanism electromechanical "without trap or cardboard", since at the end of each election, and provided that it has not coincided with the maximum expectation indicated in the numerical display, the location of this one.

Another advantage of the present invention is that traditional gaming devices of the recreational machines, with what this means taking advantage of usual technology, while more attractive to the player, for Your immediacy of understanding.

Although a detailed embodiment has been described of the invention, it is evident that other ones can be introduced therein modifications within its scope, not this should be considered limited to said realization but to content of the following claims:
