Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a drawing mechanism, specifically a mechanical-electronic device intended to be associated to one or more gaming machines with similar or different characteristics for the purpose of forming an additional game for the same.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a drawing mechanism which allows varying, by means of regulation provided for such purpose, the probability of winning, all according to reducing or increasing the value of the prizes.
  • the drawing mechanism with a variable regulation device for regulating the probabilities of winning proposed by the invention fully and satisfactorily solves the drawbacks previously set forth in the different mentioned aspects.
  • Said mechanism is formed by a drum-shaped receptacle, ball container and mixer, provided with a device with the capacity of randomly reading and identifying each and every one of the balls contained therein. It is for that reason that the mechanism and device are able to:
  • the proposed mechanism intended to be associated to two or more entertainment machines, all of them forming a type game table or counter, is formed from a drum, in which a predetermined number of balls are arranged, which drum could be transparent or like a cage, for allowing in any case the player or players in question to see the balls contained therein, provided with fixing means for fixing it to the mentioned game table with a horizontal rotating shaft arranged inside the drum and in which a motorized drive mechanism is arranged which allows rotating the drum in either direction.
  • Said drum equally has a protrusion in the shape of a protruding turret located on a plane of symmetry perpendicular to the rotating shaft, and with suitable dimensions for allowing the passage and housing therein of at least one of the balls.
  • Said turret includes in its base a mechanism for opening and closing the access of the balls to the same turret for the purpose of allowing the entrance or exit of the balls; said mechanism consists of a pivoting blade, balanced such that the rotation of the drum in one direction makes the blade pivot, closing through one of its ends the entrance of balls to the turret , whereas the rotation in the opposite direction of the drum equally causes a pivoting of the blade in the opposite direction, such that the end thereof preventing the entrance of the balls clears the passage of the ball to the inside of the turret.
  • Said balls will have their outer surface printed with the corresponding number or illustration, being equally provided with an inner circuit for identification by means of an electronic reader associated to the control circuit of the support of the entire drawing mechanism assembly.
  • the mechanism of the invention can be associated to an assembly of two or more betting terminals provided with means for managing charges and payments, as well as managing the development and display of the results of the plays in the form of drawings.
  • the control circuit or CPU of the device will thus be electrically associated: to the mechanism for rotating the drum, controlling both its rotation/stopping and its position; to the means for identifying the balls; as well as to the rest of the conventional electronic elements taking part in the drawings; transmitting said data to the assembly of machines to which the drawing mechanism is associated, machines in which each of them will have its corresponding means for executing its own games and which eventually and particularly will be able, independently or simultaneously at the will of the player, to access the information and use the data of the result of the drawings carried out by means of the mechanism to make bets, whereby the player of each machine can bet what he or she thinks suitable, regardless of the rest of the players.
  • Said drum (2) is fixed to the game table (1) from a pair of vertical arms (4), or any type of raised platform which allows supporting a horizontal rotating shaft (6) at the desired height, carried out as a cylinder inside which an electric motor (12) and the corresponding mechanism associated thereto are arranged in order to allow carrying out the rotation of said drum (2) in either direction, as well as an electro-optical sensor (32) as a controller and detector of the position of the drum (2) and which, acting on a spur located in the shaft/motor, sends the necessary data to the CPU so that the orders corresponding to the motor (12) on starting, breaking and rotation direction can be sent.
  • an electric motor (12) and the corresponding mechanism associated thereto are arranged in order to allow carrying out the rotation of said drum (2) in either direction, as well as an electro-optical sensor (32) as a controller and detector of the position of the drum (2) and which, acting on a spur located in the shaft/motor, sends the necessary data to the CPU so that the orders corresponding to the motor (12) on starting, breaking and rotation direction can be sent
  • Said drum (2) has a protrusion in the shape of a turret (10) provided on the plane of symmetry perpendicular to the rotating shaft (6) thereof, said turret (10) forms an integral part with the outer structure of the drum (2) and is sized such that it allows housing a ball at its distal end (11) when the circumstance of the game requires it.
  • the balls (3) will have an identification printed on their outer surface so the players can see said information, whereas they will internally have an identification circuit for being identified by means of an external electronic reader (13) associated to a control circuit or CPU (14) through which it is connected with the different machines taking part in the game table, which circuit will be further described below.
  • the mentioned turret (10) is provided with a mechanism (8) which allows controlling the entrance of the balls (3) to its inside as well as the exit thereof for joining the rest of the balls in the drum (2) depending on the rotation direction thereof, such that rotating the drum in one direction provided that the turret does not house a ball (3) inside, allows the passage of a ball of those contained in the drum, after which it maintains said ball inside preventing its exit, whereas if the rotation of the drum (2) occurs in the opposite direction, the turret allows the exit of the ball contained therein, preventing the entrance of a new ball.
  • the mechanism (8) for controlling the entrance and exit of the balls to and from the turret (10) has a blade (15) pivoting on a shaft (16), with suitable dimensions and shape so that it is balanced such that by turning the turret (10) in one rotation direction of the drum (2), an end (17) thereof pivots due to gravity, closing at its other end (18) the access to any ball (3), whereas when a rotation of the drum in the opposite direction occurs, the pivoting of the blade (15) equally occurs in the opposite direction, allowing the exit of the ball (3) from the turret (10), and preventing the entrance thereto of a new ball through its lower end (17), as can be observed in Figures 3 and 4 .
  • the mechanism (8) has side supports (7) for the shaft (16) of the pivoting blade (15).
  • the turret (10) can optionally have a longer length for housing a second ball therein, equally preventing the entrance of more balls for the purpose of providing a second prize or larger prize corresponding to two results in a single drawing.
  • the CPU (14) will be equally in charge of controlling the power supply of decorative lighting elements (24) provided in an information panel (25) located next to the drum (2), and on which an alphanumeric panel (26) is contained with the data which is considered of interest in the plays; it will likewise be in charge of generating audio signals (27) and (34) for information of the game in the terminals and in the central unit, giving betting permission (29) to the terminals which wish to take part in the drawing and supplying them before each play with information of the number of balls (30) taking part in each drawing, as well as validating by means of the control (28) the activation of the device by means of the existence of credits in the machines.
  • Said CPU (14) will similarly be associated to a control circuit (32) for controlling the position of the turret (10), having a push-button control (33) for accessing the regulation/validation test for regulating/validating the balls in the game, as well as an auxiliary push-button control (31) for fixing the adjustable variations.
  • a control circuit (32) for controlling the position of the turret (10) having a push-button control (33) for accessing the regulation/validation test for regulating/validating the balls in the game, as well as an auxiliary push-button control (31) for fixing the adjustable variations.
