Description

The technical field to which the utility model relates. The technical solution proposed to be protected by a patent of the Russian Federation relates to entertainment complexes, and more specifically, to slot machines with a random outcome of the game serving several participants simultaneously.

State of the art

The entertainment industry around the world is one of the most profitable business areas. As you know, the most important factor in the successful development of any business is the creation, development and implementation of new technologies to attract potential users to a specific type of product or service. In this case, the entertainment industry is no exception, as evidenced by the activity of foreign manufacturers of products that are directly related to the technical solution proposed for protection.

So, for example, ifph machine with a control unit, to which indicators, control switches and switches are connected, is known from the prior art. The control unit of the machine along with indicator devices is also used to control faults (see the description of patent DE 3020226, G 07 F 17/32, 05/06/1982) (1). However, this machine has small functionality.

expressed, for example, in the impossibility of its simultaneous use by several players.

A known gaming machine for entertainment, having a symbolic game mechanism, a game mechanism, a music device housed in a housing with free spaces on its side surface and / or side surfaces, which are made in the form of advertising blocks for displaying ads of various shapes (see the description of the patent DE 19754294, G 07 F 17/32, 06/10/1999) (2). This unit is multifunctional, but it has a rather complicated structure, which leads to an increase in its cost, as well as the cost of its maintenance, which in turn leads to a limitation of its use.

Also known is a gaming machine containing a case, a device for demonstrating the number of points received by the user as a result of the game, a device for storing the values of points accumulated and the sums of wins, a device for paying out wins, and also a microprocessor control device, (see description of patent GB 2171234, G 07 F 17/32, 08/20/1986) (3). The disadvantage of this gaming machine is the complexity of its maintenance and limited functionality associated with the fact that it cannot be used by several players at the same time.

Also known from the prior art is a gaming machine consisting of a housing within which power devices are located, to which control devices and associated coin receiving and dispensing devices, electromechanical counters and indicating devices, including indicators and control means of the latter, are connected (see patent specification DE 3426431, O 07 F 17/32, 01/23/1986) (4). This device also has low functional capabilities and the complexity of its maintenance, including repair.

in Russia, recently this industry has also been developing rapidly, as evidenced by the increased interest in it from developers and manufacturers of products close to the claimed technical solution. Interest is expressed, inter alia, in the emergence of new technologies and devices for their implementation, proposed for protection by a patent of the Russian Federation.

So, for example, a gaming machine for playing a game with payment is known from the prior art, comprising installed mechanical counters and an electronic payment mechanism, payment control units, betting units and a gaming machine. The electronic payment mechanism of this machine contains an electronic card and is configured to reject the communication line between the payment control units and the betting units and with the ability to place bets and issue winnings on the electronic card without receiving or issuing tokens (see description of the patent of the Russian Federation. No. 2161821 C2, G 07 F 17/32, 01/10/2001) (5). The disadvantage of this machine is that it can only serve one player at a time.

Also known is a gaming machine comprising a game panel with located means for influencing a game element and a group of win sensors, a coin input unit, a payout unit and a game element supply unit connected through the game element with means for influencing it and with outputs of the win sensors. A comparison element, a counter-indicator of the number of sensors and a player’s progress indicator are entered into the machine, the output of the coin input unit is connected to the feed unit of the game element and a counting input of a counter-indicator of numbers of winning sensors, the output of which and the output of the corresponding winning sensor are connected through the comparison element to the input the payout unit, the means for influencing the game element is connected through the game element to the player’s end-of-turn sensor, the outputs of which are connected respectively to the input of the indicator counter n mers sensors vyigryscha

(see the description of patent RU No. 2074421 C1, G 07 F 17/32, 02.27.1997) (6). The disadvantage of this machine is that it can simultaneously

serve only one player.

A known gaming machine comprising a housing and a coin acceptor located therein, a gaming device controller, a control computer, a payout device (see the description of the patent of the Russian Federation No. 2072560 C1, G 07 F 17/32, dated January 27, 1997) ( 7). The disadvantage of this machine is that it can only serve one player at a time.

Common disadvantages for all the above devices are their limited functionality, due to the inability to simultaneously participate in the game more than one player, as well as a fairly simple, unpretentious panel graphics system to demonstrate the results of the game, which negatively affects its attractiveness.

The closest analogue to the claimed technical solution is a gaming machine containing a vertically oriented body configured to simultaneously serve several players on its game sides, a panel for displaying game results, a panel with an opening for receiving payments, a window for dispensing a win (see RU 25805 and 1, G 07 F 17/32, 10/20/2002) (8).

This unit has the ability to play simultaneously

several people at once (up to four), however, to demonstrate

the results of the game uses the results panel, made in the form

a rectangular digital seven-segment indicator, which has a fairly simple and unattractive graphical system for demonstrating the results of the game, which also affects the decrease

interest in this game and the decline in popularity of games held on such machines.

Utility Model Essence

The objective of the claimed technical solution is to create a gaming machine capable of serving several players at the same time, in which the system for demonstrating the results of the game would be presented more attractively, which would affect the increased interest of potential players in the draw held on such a machine.

The specified task is implemented as follows.

The gaming machine comprises a vertically oriented body configured to simultaneously serve several players on its game sides, a panel for displaying game results, a panel with an opening for receiving payments, a window for dispensing a win. The machine case, according to the claimed technical solution, consists of sections, and at least on one of the game sides of the machine, in its upper section, a panel for demonstrating the results of the game is made in the form of a screen, which occupies most of the space of the upper section.

The case of the gaming machine can be made in the form of a prism with a base in the form of a square or trapezoid or triangle or polyhedron.

Sections of the machine can be either approximately equal in height, or the height of the upper section is slightly less than the height of any other section of the machine.

As the screen can be used the screen of a computer monitor, electron beam or liquid crystal.

On the game sides of the machine, in the upper section of which there is no panel showing the results of the game, made in the form of a screen, the panel can be made in the form of a seven-segment digital indicator.

The machine may optionally contain at least one counter, designed to calculate the results of the game.

The counter of the machine can be electromechanical.

List of figures of drawings and other materials

On graphic materials a schematic representation of a gaming machine is presented, which in no way limits all possible options for the implementation of the claimed technical solution.

The diagram shows a gaming machine, configured to simultaneously serve multiple players. The list of elements vodyash, their composition:

1- upper section of the machine;

2- middle section of the machine;

3- lower section of the machine;

4- hole for receiving payments;

5- win table;

6- window for issuing a win.

7 - a panel for demonstrating the results of the game, made in the form of a screen that occupies most of the space of the upper section (1);

8 - a panel showing the results of the game, made in the form of a seven-segment digital indicator.

The set of elements of the machine 5 and 6 is a panel with a hole for receiving payments 6

The following is an example of the implementation of a decisive technical solution, which in no way limits all possible options for its implementation.

Before starting work, a voltage is supplied to the control computer (not shown) from the power supply unit (not shown), which are responsible for all the processes occurring in the electronics of the gaming machine. The player throws a coin or token or, for example, a bill into the hole for receiving payments (4), after which a signal is sent to the control computer. The control computer distributes the signal as follows:

- sends a signal to the panel showing the results of the game, made in the form of a screen (7) (while on the screen (7) it is possible to demonstrate barrels, flowers, fruits, reels with any graphic symbols, which significantly increases the attractiveness of the machine, increases interest in it );

- sends a signal to the counter (not shown). Further options are as follows:

- in the event of a winning combination, a signal is sent to the controller (not shown), which gives a signal to the coin issuing device, in this case the window for issuing the win (6) starts to give out the necessary amount;

- in case of failure of the winning combination from the control computer, a signal is sent to the panel showing the results of the game, made in the form of a screen (7), which, in turn, shows a negative result.

The case of the gaming machine in the proposed example of the implementation of the claimed technical solution is made in the form of a prism with a base in the form of a square. Automatic sections are not equal in height, because the height of the upper section is slightly less than the height of any other section of the machine. As can be seen from the graphic materials, on one of the game sides can be installed, used most often at a given time for

Demonstration of the results of the game seven-segment indicator. The machine may further comprise at least one counter (not shown), made, for example, electromechanical, designed to calculate the results of the game.

It is important that, according to the claimed technical solution, the panel for demonstrating the results of the game is made in the form of a screen (7), which occupies most of the space of the upper section (1). It should be noted that a screen is installed in the machine that is capable of demonstrating the results of the ongoing game in a more attractive form, for example, when the screen is executed as a computer monitor screen, a more colorful and dynamic demonstration of the game results is achieved. Winning combinations can be shown in the form of barrels, flowers, fruits, vegetables and any other items indicated in the win table (5).

Specifically, by the indicated execution of the panel for demonstrating the results of the game, an increase in the interest of the participants of the drawing for the game held on the machine is achieved, which ultimately leads to an increase in the attractiveness of the gaming machine and its popularity.
