Definitions
- This present invention concerns a machine for playing a game by introduction of a coin or the like and by manual movement of a lever.
- the drawbacks inherent in slot machines are due to two main causes: firstly the game played is a game of chance, generally banned in public places or allowed only in licenced gaming houses; secondly the result of each turn depends entirely on chance as the wheels stop due to friction created in the works, possibly assisted, for example, by an air-friction braking device .
- the fortuitous nature of the game prevents the person in charge of it from calculating his return unless relating it to a long per-. iod of time.
- the machine conforming to the invention here described conventionally consists of a structure holding most of the parts, a slot in the outer casing through which a player puts in his coin enabling him to play, a lever on the outside of the casing moved by the player to accomplish his turn, several wheels so assembled that they can turn simultaneously and separately one from another, a part that transmits the lever movement simultaneously to each of said wheels to set them turning, a number of conventional symbols (images) mounted on the perimeter of each wheel and a window in the casing for viewing one symbol on each wheel when that wheel is still, a container for used coins, a container for coins to be emitted as a prize and comprising in an original fashion an electronic programmer with microprocessor (hereinafter called a programmer) associated to a memory store into which a program has been put to control emission of coins for each one of n previously determined playing programs, the programmer comprising a part that records the order number of each turn played in one of n playing programs and transforms said recordings into information utilizable by the micropzo
- the machine comprises a number of means of reference placed round the perimeter of a selector disc associated to each wheel, a starting means of reference being added to each set of said means of reference so that a position counter can count the passage of each means of reference in relation to the starting means of reference, each of said means of reference and the starting means of reference also corresponding to a conventional symbol mounted on the perimeter of the wheel; a part that transmits the position counter's signals to the programmer so that said programmer can operate the stopping or braking device of each wheel and stop said wheel in such a position that through the window in the casing can be seen the conventional symbol or combination of symbols (according to whether there is one wheel or more than one) in accordance with the coin emission program, the combination of conventional symbols, indicated for the player on a chart placed outside the machine and corresponding to the number of coins to be emitted, being observed at the same time.
- the machine conforming to the invention comprises: a detector of valid and non-valid playing coins and a channel and container for each of the two types of coins; one or more coin counters, each one associated to one of the n programs for coin emission, that progressively count the number of playing turns effected by the machine in each single program; a detector of the speed at which the player moves the lever; a part that transforms the information received from said detector into information used by.the microprocessor to execute that particular program of the n playing programs corresponding to the range of speeds within which lies the speed at which the player has moved the lever; a selector disc for each wheel having means of reference corresponding to each conventional symbol mounted on the wheel concerned and a detector of said means of reference that transmits to the programmer the position, in relation to a starting means of reference on the selector disc, of each conventional symbol mounted on the wheel associated to that selector disc, so that the programmer can .
- the machine described may undergo numerous modifications without departing from the field of invention; for example, it could be adapted for use of a single type of coin so that the coin valid for a playing turn will be determined by an additional program containing a certain number of valid coins and a certain number of non-valid coins.
