Abstract

  • 1. Jackpotspieleinrichtung mit einem Anzeigemittel zur Darstellung eines Jackpotzählerstandes.
  • 2.1 An einer Jackpotspieleinrichtung sind münzbetätigte Unterhaltungsautomaten angeschlossen. Die Jackpotspieleinrichtung umfaßt eine eigenständige, den Jackpotzählerstand darstellende, Ziffernanzeige. Mit der Neuerung soll eine Jackpotspieleinrichtung dahingehend weiter ausgestaltet werden, daß von dieser stets eine Spielspannung und ein Spielanreiz ausgeht.
  • 2.2 Jedem Unterhaltungsautomaten wird ein weiteres, den Jackpotzählerstand darstellendes, Anzeigemittel mit eigenständiger Steuereinheit zugeordnet. Die Steuereinheit ist zum einen mit der Steuereinheit der Jackpotspieleinrichtung und mit der des münzbetätigten Unterhaltungsautomaten verbunden. Zum Ende eines Spiels am münzbetätigten Unterhaltungsautomaten kann nachfolgend eine Symbolkombination mit der Zusatzanzeigevorrichtung dargestellt werden, die bei Anzeige einer vorgegebenen Symbolkombination den Jackpot auslöst.

  • 1. Jackpot game device with a display means for displaying a jackpot counter reading.
  • 2.1 Coin-operated amusement machines are connected to a jackpot game facility. The jackpot game device comprises an independent numerical display which represents the jackpot counter reading. The innovation is intended to further develop a jackpot game device in such a way that it always creates a game tension and a game incentive.
  • 2.2 Each entertainment machine is assigned a further display means, which represents the jackpot counter reading, with an independent control unit. The control unit is connected on the one hand to the control unit of the jackpot game device and to that of the coin-operated entertainment machine. At the end of a game on the coin-operated entertainment machine, a symbol combination can subsequently be shown with the additional display device, which triggers the jackpot when a predetermined symbol combination is displayed.
