This new game element makes the otherwise mono tone gameplay interrupted and more variety ins Brought about by the game tension and a repetitive expectations of the play is brought towards.
Ein erfindungsgemäßes Ausführungsbeispiel ist als Block schaltbild in der Zeichnung dargestellt.An exemplary embodiment according to the invention is as a block Circuit diagram shown in the drawing.
Das Blockschaltbild 1 umfaßt die zum Verständnis der Erfindung notwendigen Teile eines nicht näher dargestellten münzbetätigten Unterhaltungsgerätes. Eine Steuereinheit 2 des Unterhaltungsgerätes umfaßt einen Mikrocomputer 3 und eine Steuereinrichtung 4, für die nicht näher dar gestellten Antriebsmotore der z. B. scheibenförmigen Umlaufkörper 5 bis 7 einer Symbol- Spieleinrichtung 8. Der Mikrocomputer 3 umfaßt eine Zentraleinheit, Festwert speicher, Betriebsdatenspeicher, einen Zufallsgenerator 9, eine Ein-/Ausgabe-Einheit 10 bildende Schnittstelle für Peripherie-Einheiten, wie Bedienelemente 11, Leucht organe des Unterhaltungsgerätes, Anzeigemittel für den Münzgewinn- und Sonderspielspeicher sowie die Anzeige mittel des Spieleinsatzes des Spielers und des Jackpots 12, welcher aus mehreren durchscheinend beleuchtbaren Anzeigefeldern gebildet ist.The block diagram 1 comprises the parts necessary for understanding the invention of a coin-operated entertainment device, not shown. A control unit 2 of the entertainment device comprises a microcomputer 3 and a control device 4 , for the drive motors, not shown, the z. B. disc-shaped circulation body 5 to 7 of a symbol game device 8th The microcomputer 3 comprises a central unit, read only memory, operating data memory, a random generator 9 , an input / output unit 10 forming interface for peripheral units, such as operating elements 11 , light organs of the entertainment device, display means for the coin profit and special game memory and the display means the stake of the player and the jackpot 12 , which is formed from several translucent display fields.
Eine Versorgungseinheit 13 übernimmt die Spannungsversor gung des gesamten Unterhaltungsgerätes. Von einem Netz transformator werden die erforderlichen Spannungen ab geleitet, gleichgerichtet und den verschiedenen Baugruppen zur Verfügung gestellt. Den scheibenförmigen Umlaufkörpern 5 bis 7 der Symbol-Spieleinrichtung 8 sind Positions erkenner 14 zugeordnet, die mit der Steuereinrichtung 4 für die Antriebsmotore in Wirkverbindung stehen.A supply unit 13 takes over the voltage supply of the entire entertainment device. The necessary voltages are derived from a mains transformer, rectified and made available to the various modules. The disc-shaped revolving bodies 5 to 7 of the symbol game device 8 are assigned position recognizers 14 which are operatively connected to the control device 4 for the drive motors.
Zu Beginn eines jeden Spiels werden von einem Zufalls generator 9 des Mikrocomputers 3 die einzelnen Rastposi tionen der Umlaufkörper 5 bis 7 ermittelt und der Steuer einrichtung 4 für die Antriebsmotore und einer Einrichtung 15 zur Gewinnermittlung zugeführt. Diese Einrichtung ist Bestandteil des Mikrocomputers 3 und beinhaltet den Gewinnplan des Unterhaltungsgerätes. At the beginning of each game, a random generator 9 of the microcomputer 3 determines the individual locking positions of the circulating bodies 5 to 7 and supplies the control device 4 for the drive motors and a device 15 for determining the profit. This device is part of the microcomputer 3 and contains the profit plan of the entertainment device.
Sind beim Stillstand der Umlaufkörper 5 bis 7 in den den Umlaufkörper zugeordneten Sichtfenstern eine gewinn bringende mit dem Gewinnplan übereinstimmende Symbolkombi nation sichtbar, so wird von einem ausgangsseitigen Ge währssignal der Einrichtung 15 zur Gewinnermittlung ein weiterer Zufallsgenerator 16 des Mikrocomputers 3 ange lassen, mit dem der Zuwachs des Jackpots ermittelt wird. Aus einem vorgegebenen Wertebereich z.B. von 1 bis 10, wird mit dem Zufallsgenerator 16 eine Ziffer ermittelt. Die ermittelte Ziffer entspricht dem Jackpotzuwachs in Form von zuschaltbaren Anzeigemitteln der entsprechenden Anzeigefelder des Jackpots. Von der Steuereinheit 2 werden unter Vermittlung der Ein-Ausgabe-Einheit 10 die ent sprechenden zu einer Lampenmatrix zusammengefaßten Anzeige mittel der Anzeigefelder des Jackpots z.B. A aktiviert.Are at a standstill of the circulation body 5 to 7 in the windows assigned to the circulation body a profitable with the winning plan matching symbol combination nation is visible, from a Ge output signal of the device 15 for determining the profit another random generator 16 of the microcomputer 3 , with which the Jackpot growth is determined. A random number 16 is used to determine a number from a predetermined range of values, for example from 1 to 10. The number determined corresponds to the jackpot increase in the form of switchable display means in the corresponding display fields of the jackpot. The control unit 2 activates the corresponding display means of the display fields of the jackpot, for example A , by means of the input / output unit 10 .
Sind alle Leuchtorgane des Jackpots erleuchtet, so wird der dem Jackpot zugeordnete Gewinn gewährt, indem von der Steuereinheit 2 Auszahlmagnete einer nicht näher dargestellten Münzeinheit des Unterhaltungsgerätes ange steuert werden. Nach erfolgter Gewährung des dem Jackpot zugeordneten Gewinns wird die Stromzuführung zu den Leucht organen des Jackpots unterbrochen und dieser somit in die Ausgangsstellung zurückgesetzt.If all the light elements of the jackpot are illuminated, the profit assigned to the jackpot is granted by the control unit controlling 2 payout magnets of a coin unit (not shown) of the entertainment device. After the profit assigned to the jackpot has been granted, the power supply to the luminous organs of the jackpot is interrupted and the jackpot is thus reset to the starting position.
In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung umfaßt das Unterhaltungsgerät mehrere Jackpots A - D, die jeweils aus mehreren durchscheinend beleuchtbaren Anzeigefeldern gebildet sind, denen Anzeigemittel zugeordnet sind, die zu einer Lampenmatrix zusammengefaßt werden.In a further embodiment of the invention, the entertainment device comprises a plurality of jackpots A - D , which are each formed from a plurality of translucently illuminated display fields, to which display means are assigned, which are combined to form a lamp matrix.
