Description

 The invention relates to entertainment and games, in particular card games, and specifically to methods of entertainment on electronic gaming machines with a symbolic indicator field, and can be used in gaming rooms, casinos, etc. institutions.

 The electronic method of implementing symbolic games of the Black-Jack type is widely known, in particular, including prepaying the game by means of a set of coins in the amount of the bet, giving a command to the game, then generating a combination of symbols that determine winning or not winning, and displaying them, for example, on the indicator field, giving the team to end the game, an indication of its result and the possible issuance to the player of a team win. Also known is an apparatus for implementing this method, comprising a coin acceptor connected to a microprocessor control module with a rate counter, a symbol indicator field with a control unit, digital indicators and buttons for game commands. In this case, the microprocessor control module includes a memory block with the corresponding game program.

 The main disadvantages of the known method and apparatus for its implementation are the need to prepay each game through coins, the player has no opportunity to bluff, i.e. include in the game the psychological moment of conscious risk and its management, its low staginess and attractiveness due to the fact that the player cannot refuse to continue it at the final stages of the game, thus saving credit for continuing the game in the next round.

 Closest to the present invention, its prototype is an electronic way of playing a symbolic, in particular card game, such as "Poker", including pre-paying the loan and setting the value of the game bet within this loan, indicating them, then, upon command, forming random combinations of non-repeated, for example cards, symbols and their display on the symbol device, the player's submission of commands for a random replacement in this combination of part of the symbols that determine winning or not winning, and indication p Results of the game [1] A well-known apparatus for implementing the prototype method includes credit and rate adjusters associated with a microprocessor-based computing and computing device, a control unit, for example, a video driver, a symbolic indicator field (in the form of a video monitor), digital indicators of credit, rate and result games, button panel of game commands. In this case, the microprocessor software and computing device includes a program unit with a corresponding game program recorded in its memory and a random access memory for long-term storage of information about the game process.

 The main disadvantages of the known method and apparatus for its implementation, taken as prototypes of the claimed technical solutions, are the insufficient entertainment and attractiveness of the game due to the complete lack of the ability to bluff, in particular by changing the value of the game bet, during the game to influence the player's decision to continue or termination, etc. maintaining the chances of winning in the next round with a constant loan. In addition, the game symbol does not correspond to the numerical values and the conditions for comparing the game and the response combination of symbols are not defined, which reduces the content of the game.

 The aim of the present invention is the richness, attractiveness and entertainment of the implementation of the game.

 This goal is achieved by the fact that in the well-known electronic method of implementing a symbolic, in particular card type "Sikka" game, including pre-setting the amount of credit, the game bet within this credit and their indication, the formation of a random sequence of signals of a given number of characters, for example, card, determining winnings or non-winnings, the supply of game teams, as well as an indication of the results of the game, additionally set each of the symbols of a random sequence accordingly e him the numerical value and set the quantitative restriction of the combination of characters participating in the game, for example three, after which they give a command by which they select symbol signals from a random sequence, display their game combination and form the corresponding numerical value, then set and display the value of the game bet and generate a losing command; otherwise, a command is issued by which a response combination of symbols is selected from the remaining in a random sequence, after which a winning command is generated, and Instead, they set and indicate the value of the response bet not less than the game one, after which they will generate a losing team, otherwise the game bet will be increased to equal the value of the response bet, then the numerical value of the response combination of characters will be generated, if it is exceeded, the losing command will be generated otherwise, the winning team, and they are indicated, while on the winning team, the credit value is increased accordingly, and on the losing team, they are reduced by the value of the game bet.

 In a known apparatus for implementing this method, comprising a game bet controller associated with an indicator of its value, first and second buttons for supplying game commands connected to inputs of a software-computing device, the outputs of which are connected to a game result indicator and through a control unit with a symbol indicator field as well as a loan controller and an indicator of its value, an adder of signals, an indicator of the number of characters participating in the game, for example, three by the number of cards, an indicator of numerical values, are also included Nij, characters in the sequence are connected to the inputs and software computing device, the latter outputs are respectively connected to an indicator value of the response rate and the adder of signals at the input connected with setpoint values credit, and an output with the indicator of its size.

 Figure 1 presents a block diagram of a gaming machine for implementing an electronic method of implementing a symbolic, for example, a card type "Sikka" games.

 The gaming machine contains a game bet controller 1, in particular a P2G-3 type multi-position switch associated with an indicator 2 of its size, for example, liquid crystal type IZhTs 18-4 / 7, control switches 3 and 4 in the form of buttons for game commands, for example, VP- type 711 UZ (TU 16-526.439-78), a setter 5 of the number of characters participating in the game, a setter of 6 numerical values of characters in a sequence connected directly to the first to fifth inputs, and a setter of a credit amount 7 through a credit amount calculator-adder 8, associated with indica oror 9 of its magnitude, to the sixth input of the control signal generation unit in the form of a microprocessor device 10, for example, a controller of the type KMB-48 (TU 22-01-12-90), with its first to fourth outputs connected respectively to the indicator 11 of the game results, for example translucent banner of winning or losing, illuminated by light bulbs (type A12-1), indicator 12 of the response rate and through the video control unit 13, for example, a transistor switch, with a symbol indicator field 14, in particular, for example p video monitor type "Electronics MS 6113.02".

 The proposed electronic method of implementing a symbolic, in particular card game of the Sikka type, is implemented as follows.

Before the game, the value of N characters participating in the game is set, for example, N is three, and each game, for example, card in each suit, is assigned a numerical value of an ace of eleven, a jack of ten points, nine nine, etc. after which, at the beginning of the game, the operator of the device, for example, after receiving a pledge amount from the player, sets from the console the value of Kp equal to this amount of game credit, which is then displayed on a digital indicator. Then the player sets the value of C _{and the} game bet within this credit, which is also displayed on a digital indicator. After that, a random sequence of mismatched signals X _{i is formed} , taking values from a discrete set consisting of n elements of the same type, for example, the corresponding card symbols (at the beginning of the game n 36), in particular according to the recurrence formula:
Xi MODn (Xi-1 x L) (1) where L any integer is greater than n and coprime with respect to n.

MOD _n (X _i -1xL) is the mathematical operation of taking the remainder of the division by n numbers (X _i -1xL).

In this case, each symbol is assigned a corresponding numerical value X _i = q _i . Then, by pressing the game button, the player selects from a random sequence (see Fig. 3) a combination of N, for example, three X _i , X _i +1, X _i +2 characters, and the number n of characters in the sequence decreases by N. Selected characters display in this case, on the symbolic indicator field, the total numerical value E1 = E (qi) of this game combination is formed, for example, as the largest of the sums of the numerical values of symbols of the same suit, after which the value of C _{and the} game bet are set and displayed on the indicator, greater than or equal to the minimum C _min , while either the player passes, i.e. refuses to play, as a result of which they form a losing team, otherwise they form a response combination of N characters from the remaining in the sequence, respectively, X _j , X _j +1, X _j +2, generate and display the value of the response bet C _о , not less than the game C _and , after which either the player passes, as a result of which they form the losing team, otherwise they increase the value of C _{and the} game bet until it is equal with the response C _and = C _о , then the numerical value E2 E (q _j ) of the response combination is generated and displayed, its symbols are displayed and comparing numerical values If E1 and E2 of the game and return combinations generate a winning team, if the first E1 is greater than the second E2, otherwise a losing team, while on the winning team, the credit value K _p increases accordingly Кр = Кр + С _and , and on the losing team decreases Кр = Кр- C _and the value of C _{and the} game bet, and the winning and losing teams are displayed on the game result indicator.

 Then the player can continue the game in the described way or end the game and get the operator the difference between the deposit amount and the loan.

 The apparatus for implementing this method works as follows.

Before starting the operation of the apparatus, for example, the operator sets 5 the number N of characters participating in the game, for example, three, and the number 6 of the corresponding numeric values q _{i of the} game characters X _i , the signals of which are supplied to the fourth and fifth inputs of block 10, by the setter 6.

 Then, as a rule, after receiving a cash loan Kp from the player, the operator sets 7 Kp of this credit by the collateral operator 7 and, through the adder 8, inputs it to the 6th input of the computing device 10, simultaneously displaying its value on the indicator 9.

After that, the player sets the value C _{and the} game bet by the controller 1, the value of which is displayed on the indicator 2 and sends the corresponding signal to the input 1 of the device 10, in which, for example, using the formula (1), a mismatched random sequence of game symbols X _{i is} generated and set in accordance with the numerical values (see figure 2). Next, the player starts the game by pressing the button 3 of the game commands, according to the signal from which T _k1 supplied to the second input of the block 10 in it, in accordance with the diagram of FIG. 3, select N following the moment T _y1 pressing the signals X _i , X _i +1, X _i +2, game symbols from the sequence, and upon a signal from the third output of block 10, through the control unit 12, they are displayed on the symbol indicator field 13, and the total numerical value of the game combination E1 is formed and displayed, then it is set by the setter 1 and displayed on the indicator 2 C value _and game bet . Then, when the button 3 of the game teams is pressed, a response combination of symbols X _j , X _j +1, X _j + 2 is formed, without displaying it on the field and the corresponding numeric value E2, then a response rate С _{о is formed} , for example, for 21>E1> 18 equal to the game bet C _and large C _and with E1 <18, after which the host 1 increases the game bet C _and until it is equal to the value C _{of the} return bet and indicate its value on indicator 2, while comparing the numerical values of the game E1 and response E2 combinations form a winning team for E1> E2 and losing otherwise tea indicate them on the display 11, wherein the command loss signal C _{and the} value of the gaming bets with the second output of device 10 is summed with the value of Cr loan adder 8 with a minus sign Cr = Cr = C _and, as for the winning team with a plus sign Cr = Cr + C _and .

 The proposed electronic method of implementing a symbolic, in particular card game of the Sikka type, and an apparatus for its implementation provide a significant increase in the content, attractiveness and entertainment of the game.

 The use of such devices will attract a significant number of players in gaming halls, casinos, etc. institutions.
