Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Münzspielgerät gemäß dem Ober begriff des Anspruches 1.The present invention relates to a coin operated game machine according to the Ober Concept 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 device known in which the registration device is designed as a counter, which is advanced by one in a winning game. At a certain number of winning games or when reaching a predetermined counter reading are special games by the counter with increased chances of winning triggered the player to the device to tie the device.
Sobald jedoch während einer zeitlich variablen Spielserie ein Gewinn erzielt wurde, wird der Zähler auf Null gesetzt, so daß keine Sonder spiele gewährt werden, wenn nur ein einziger, im Verhältnis zum Ein satz 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 series the counter is set to zero, so that no special games are granted, if only one, in relation to the one relatively small profit was achieved. It follows that none Special games are granted, for example, during one a relatively long game series of 30 minutes, for example only 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 an zuzeigen. Außerdem wird durch die Uhr in Anlehnung an die Öffnungs zeiten einer Gaststätte das Geldspielgerät ein- und ausgeschaltet. Außerdem kann eine evtl. vorhandene Alarmanlage gesteuert werden. Fer ner 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 with a clock controlled by a microprocessor. This clock should u. a. replace a wall clock in restaurants to the time of day to show. In addition, the clock is based on the opening times of a restaurant the gaming machine is switched on and off. An existing alarm system can also be controlled. Fer ner can also be controlled by the clock so that in on Experience-based, game-weak times granted free spins will. Even with this game device, it is not possible to make special games to grant after a timed game duration, since the clock of the known device works like a timer.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Münzspiel gerät 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 be grenzten Spielserie erzielt wurde.The present invention has for its object a coin game device of the type mentioned in such a way that with increased Chances of winning can be expected, even if no a profitable combination of features during a time limited game series was achieved.

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 zeit lich 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 1 listed features solved. By as a time recording facility trained registration device is achieved that the duration of a uninterrupted game series is recorded so that when reaching a predetermined value is acted on the special game mechanism, that regardless of the feature com. achieved during the game series a series of special games is triggered. This is supposed to the player is encouraged to continue playing, even if during the previous, scheduled game series did not make a profit has been. However, since special games are also granted if in time determined game series were won, the Don'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. So bald 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 as a timer operated with electrical energy with analog or digital display is formed, since then the time measurement of the can be switched on for the first time by a player. Like this soon the predetermined game time is reached and the special games given, the measurement of Start 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 one Display, preferably in the form of light strips. At a such execution could be the timing of the drive for the Play reels or disks are removed because the duration of a game is 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 that either the duration of a game series or the period of time until Trigger the special games is displayed.
