Description
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
[0001] As stated in the title of this specification, the following
invention relates to a recreational gambling machine with roulette
game, being of the type of recreational gambling machine which
functions by means of introducing coins and, optionally,
bank-notes, said gambling machines having two games associated with
each other in such a way that the recreational machine has an
electronic game of chance and a game of roulette associated
together, along with a touch-sensitive screen for playing the
roulette game, the corresponding operating push-buttons and other
elements for the development of the game.
[0002] Moreover, the roulette wheel is driven by a pair of motors
with a common shaft from which common shaft movement is transmitted
to the shaft of the roulette wheel via a reducing gear, the motors
having opposite direction of rotation.
FIELD OF APPLICATION
[0003] This specification describes a recreational gambling machine
with a roulette game, being of the type of gambling machine which
functions by means of introducing coins and, optionally,
bank-notes, said gambling machines having two games associated with
each other.
PRIOR ART OF THE INVENTION
[0004] As is known, there exist on the market a great diversity of
recreational gambling machines, in such a manner that in relation
to type "B" recreational gambling machines, in other words, those
for installation in bars, cafes and similar, they can present very
different dynamics of game in such a way that, in principle,
recreational gambling machines had just one electronic game, but,
with the passing of time, most recreational gambling machines have
come to have two electronic games associated together.
[0005] Moreover, as is known, recreational gambling machines have
the corresponding slot for the introduction of coins for being led
to the corresponding coin validator and, optionally a slot for
bank-notes, along with the operating push-buttons and a box for
collection of the coins.
[0006] In terms of recreational gambling machines installed in
amusement arcades, we can consider "multi-player" machines, in
other words, those in which several players can play, which have a
roulette game, in which case the ball is driven by air and the
roulette wheel only has one direction of rotation, being opposite
to that of the ball.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0007] The present invention describes a recreational gambling
machine with a roulette game, being of the type of recreational
gambling machine which functions by means of introducing coins and,
optionally, bank-notes, said gambling machines having two games
associated with each other in such a way that the recreational
machine has an electronic game and a roulette game, along with a
touch-sensitive screen for playing the roulette game, in such a way
that the roulette wheel is driven by a pair of motors with a common
shaft.
[0008] Moreover, the pair of drive motors for the roulette wheel
present opposite directions of rotation and the transmission of the
movement from the common shaft for both motors to the shaft of the
roulette wheel is materialised via a reducing gear.
[0009] In the rotary launching thrust of the ball in relation to
the roulette game, the wheel is operated by a first motor in one
direction of rotation and later on the wheel is operated by the
second motor in the opposite direction of rotation to that of the
first motor and to that of the free rotation of the ball until it
stops with the ball in the corresponding numbered compartment of
the roulette wheel.
[0010] Indeed, the aim is to have a recreational gambling machine
with prizes in which an electronic game is associated with a random
game of roulette.
[0011] In order to complement the description that is going to be
made, and with the aim of aiding a better understanding of the
characteristics of the invention, this specification is accompanied
by a set of drawings containing figures which, on an illustrative
rather than limiting bases, the most characteristic details of the
invention are represented.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DESIGNS
[0012] FIG. 1. Shows a perspective view of a recreational gambling
machine, where it can be seen how the machine has an upper front
panel with an electronic game and a roulette game with a
touch-sensitive screen for playing it, along with other operating
elements.
[0013] FIG. 2. Shows a lateral elevation view of the means of
driving the roulette wheel, these means being basically defined by
a pair of motors and a reducing gear for transmission of the
movement.
DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0014] With the commented figures in view and in accordance with
the numbering adopted, we can see how the recreational gambling
machine 1 with prizes comprises an upper front panel 2 for playing
an electronic game and a roulette game 3, along with a
touch-sensitive screen 4 for playing the roulette game.
[0015] Likewise, the recreational gambling machine 1 with prizes
will have the corresponding operating push-buttons 5, along with
the slot 6 for introducing coins, a possible slot for bank-notes 7
and a box 8 for collection of coins, whether they be those relating
to change, those rejected by the validator and those relating to
payment of prizes.
[0016] In this way, the recreational gambling machine 1 with
prizes, of type "B", has a roulette game 3 associated with an
electronic game which is played in the upper front panel 2 of the
recreational machine 1 by means of the corresponding operating
push-buttons 5, while the roulette game 3 is played by means of the
touch-sensitive screen 4, due to the appearance therein of a
graphic representation of the operation for the normal playing of
the game.
[0017] Moreover, the rotation of the roulette wheel 9 is produced
by a pair of motors 10 and 11 with a common shaft 12, in such a way
that the motors 10 and 11 rotate in the opposite direction and the
movement is transmitted from said shaft 12 to the shaft 13 of the
roulette wheel 9 via a reducing gear 14.
[0018] So, at the moment the game of roulette 3 is going to start,
the free rotational movement of the ball has to be provoked with
respect to the actual body of the roulette wheel 9, for which a
first motor, for example motor 10, is operated causing the rotation
of the shaft 12 and its transmission to the shaft 13 which entails
rotation of the roulette wheel 9 and the thrust of the ball in its
same direction.
[0019] After that, the rotation of the roulette wheel 9 in the
opposite direction will then take place, for which the supply of
current to the first motor 10 will be cut off and the second motor
11 will be activated, which causes the rotation of the shaft 12 in
the direction opposite to direction of rotation of the first motor
10, until the roulette wheel 9 is halted with the ball housed in
the corresponding numbered winning compartment.
