Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Münzspielgerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The present invention relates to a coin operated game machine according to the OberConcept of claim 1.
Aus der DE-OS 29 35 188 ist bereits ein gattungsgemäßes Münzspielgerät bekannt, bei dem die Registriereinrichtung als Zähler ausgebildet ist, der bei einem gewinnlosen Spiel um eins weitergeschaltet wird. Bei einer bestimmten Anzahl von gewinnlosen Spielen bzw. beim Erreichen eines vorgegebenen Zählerstandes werden durch den Zähler Sonderspiele mit erhöhten Gewinnchancen ausgelöst, um den Spieler an das Gerät an das Gerät zu fesseln.DE-OS 29 35 188 is a generic coin-operated game deviceknown in which the registration device is designed as a counter,which is advanced by one in a winning game. Ata certain number of winning games or when reachinga predetermined counter reading are special games by the counterwith increased chances of winning triggered the player to the deviceto tie the device.
Sobald jedoch während einer zeitlich variablen Spielserie ein Gewinn erzielt wurde, wird der Zähler auf Null gesetzt, so daß keine Sonderspiele gewährt werden, wenn nur ein einziger, im Verhältnis zum Einsatz relativ kleiner Gewinn erzielt wurde. Daraus folgt, daß keine Sonderspiele gewährt werden, wenn beispielsweise während der einer zeitlich relativ langen Spielserie von beispielsweise 30 Minuten auch nur ein einziger kleiner Gewinn erzielt wurde.However, as soon as a win during a time-varying game seriesthe counter is set to zero, so that no specialgames are granted, if only one, in relation to the onerelatively small profit was achieved. It follows that noneSpecial games are granted, for example, during onea relatively long game series of 30 minutes, for exampleonly one small win was made.
Aus der DE-OS 26 36 253 ist ein münzbetätigtes Münzspielgerät mit einer von einem Mikroprozessor gesteuerten Uhr bekannt. Diese Uhr soll u. a. eine Wanduhr in Gaststätten ersetzen, um die Tageszeit anzuzeigen. Außerdem wird durch die Uhr in Anlehnung an die Öffnungszeiten einer Gaststätte das Geldspielgerät ein- und ausgeschaltet. Außerdem kann eine evtl. vorhandene Alarmanlage gesteuert werden. Ferner kann auch durch die Uhr das Gerät so gesteuert werden, daß in auf Erfahrungswerten beruhende, spielschwache Zeiten Freispiele gewährt werden. Auch bei diesem Spielgerät ist es nicht möglich, Sonderspiele nach einer zeitlich vorgegebenen Spieldauer zu gewähren, da die Uhr des vorbekannten Gerätes wie eine Zeitschaltuhr arbeitet.From DE-OS 26 36 253 is a coin-operated coin-operated game machine witha clock controlled by a microprocessor. This clockshould u. a. replace a wall clock in restaurants to the time of dayto show. In addition, the clock is based on the openingtimes of a restaurant the gaming machine is switched on and off.An existing alarm system can also be controlled. Ferner can also be controlled by the clock so that in onExperience-based, game-weak times granted free spinswill. Even with this game device, it is not possible to make special gamesto grant after a timed game duration, since the clockof the known device works like a timer.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Münzspielgerät der eingangs genannten Art so weiterzubilden, daß mit erhöhten Gewinnchancen gerechnet werden kann, auch wenn keine dafür vorgesehene, einen Gewinn bringende Merkmalskombination während einer zeitlich begrenzten Spielserie erzielt wurde.The present invention has for its object a coin gamedevice of the type mentioned in such a way that with increasedChances of winning can be expected, even if noa profitable combination of features during a timelimited game series was achieved.
Die gestellte Aufgabe wird durch die im Kennzeichen des Anspruches 1 aufgeführten Merkmale gelöst. Durch die als Zeiterfassungseinrichtung ausgebildete Registriereinrichtung wird erreicht, daß die Dauer einer nicht unterbrochenen Spielserie derart erfaßt wird, daß beim Erreichen eines vorbestimmten Wertes auf das Sonderspielwerk so eingewirkt wird, daß unabhängig von den während der Spielserie erzielten Merkmalskombinationen eine Serie von Sonderspielen ausgelöst wird. Dadurch soll der Spieler zum Weiterspielen angeregt werden, auch wenn während der vorhergehenden, zeitlich festgelegten Spielserie kein Gewinn erzielt wurde. Da jedoch auch Sonderspiele gewährt werden, wenn in der zeitlich festgelegten Spielserie Gewinne erzielt wurden, empfindet der Spieler es nicht als eine Entschädigung für den verlorenen Einsatz.The task is achieved by the in the characterizing part of claim 1listed features solved. By as a time recording facilitytrained registration device is achieved that the duration of auninterrupted game series is recorded so that when reachinga predetermined value is acted on the special game mechanism,that regardless of the feature com. achieved during the game seriesa series of special games is triggered. This is supposed tothe player is encouraged to continue playing, even if during theprevious, scheduled game series did not make a profithas been. However, since special games are also granted if in timedetermined game series were won, theDon't use it as compensation for the lost bet.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist, wenn die Zeiterfassungseinrichtung als eine mit elektrischer Energie betriebene Zeitschaltuhr mit analoger oder digitaler Anzeige ausgebildet ist, da dann die Zeitmessung der erstmaligen Inbetriebnahme durch einen Spieler einschaltbar ist. Sobald die vorbestimmte Spieldauer erreicht ist und die Sonderspiele gegeben werden, kann durch entsprechende Schaltung die Messung der Spieldauer von vorn beginnen.It is particularly advantageous if the time recording device asa timer operated with electrical energy with analogor digital display is formed, since then the time measurement of the can be switched on for the first time by a player. Like thissoon the predetermined game time is reached and the special gamesgiven, the measurement ofStart the game from the beginning.
In Abwandlung dazu kann die Zeiterfassungseinrichtung eine optische Anzeige, vorzugsweise in Form von Lichtleisten aufweisen. Bei einer derartigen Ausführung könnte die Zeitmessung von dem Antrieb für die Spielwalzen bzw. -scheiben abgenommen werden, da die Dauer eines Spiels festleg- und nicht veränderbar ist.In a modification of this, the time recording device can be an optical oneDisplay, preferably in the form of light strips. At asuch execution could be the timing of the drive for thePlay reels or disks are removed because the duration of a gameis definable and not changeable.
Die Anzeige der Zeiterfassungseinrichtung kann so ausgelegt sein, daß entweder die Spieldauer einer Spielserie oder die Zeitspanne bis zum Auslösen der Sonderspiele angezeigt wird.The display of the time recording device can be designed so thateither the duration of a game series or the period of time untilTrigger the special games is displayed.
