Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for controlling a System of at least two slot machines according to the preamble of Main claim.
- the mode of operation of such slot machines usually consists in that a game result is determined via the central control unit, which in the following about suitable display means, which for example as revolving disks, rollers, cube folding cards or a display can be formed is shown. Depending on whether it is this game result is a winning combination or not, the contents of profit storage and its subordinate Display devices increased accordingly. This process too again controlled by the central control unit of the gaming machine.
- the slot machines are mostly in equipment stands or on Wall brackets arranged so that a player can use a maximum of two Playing slot machines at the same time or their course of play can track.
- a method is known from publication US Pat. No. 6,117,013, in which several gaming devices, such as telephones or computers respective data lines are connected to a central computer can. With the help of the respective game device, a user can make individual play bets. Included in one by the central computer Random generator then runs a game, the result of which transferred from the central computer to the connected gaming facilities and is displayed there on a respective display device.
- the Game facilities themselves only need an ad facility for Display of the game result and coupling means for connecting the Data line to the central computer to help determine the To participate in the winners. Both for all participating gaming facilities jointly run game as well as determining the winners or the winning game facilities takes place with the help of the central computer.
- a game system based on the same concept is from the publication DE 197 01 301 A1 known. It is a slot machine system described with a plurality of game points, which at times over a Exchange the respective online connection with a central control unit can. Here the course of the game takes place with all its individual steps, such as drawing random numbers, determining symbol combinations or similar random game results, finding a profit, etc., only in the central control unit.
- the Decentralized game stands, on the other hand, serve to display or display the information necessary for the course of the game.
- the object of the invention based on a method of controlling at least two slot machines propose that run completely synchronized with each other and the same Show game results, but still the opportunity to achieve offer different profits.
- the solution according to the invention is distinguished from the prior art Technology characterized by the slot machines of the slot machine system each have a central control unit which is networked with one another are or that all slot machines of the slot machine system are common can be controlled via a central control unit.
- the common The control unit or the networked control units now control the Display means for displaying the game results of all slot machines of the Slot machine system so synchronously that on all slot machines of the Slot machine system identical symbol combinations for display to be brought.
- the fact that on each of the slot machines of the Slot machine systems controlled by the buttons for Game flow control based on an individual distribution of bets Paylines and / or winning combinations can be made despite identical combinations of symbols on each slot machine of the slot machine system profit values of different heights can be realized.
- Another advantageous design variant is that several Slot machines of the slot machine system are arranged in a stand unit are and that all of these slot machines of the slot machine system are over interconnected central control units can be controlled.
- a further display unit for displaying the game results is assigned, via which also the same symbol combinations, as they appear on the slot machines of the slot machine system, is pictured.
- a further advantageous design variant of the basic idea according to the invention is that at least two players play at least two slot machines the slot machine system an equally high value is specified.
- This predetermined number of single games is now dependent on different betting strategies of the individual players with the same Symbol combinations as a game result each have a different height Winning value achieved in the individual games and in each case on the Saved earnings of the individual slot machines are saved and displayed.
- the winner will be after the specified number of individual games for example, the player who has the highest win value in Sum has reached.
- an undersigned Procedure for the individual distribution of Game bets on the paylines and / or winning combinations be made.
- This procedure can consist in that all or only one slot machine of the slot machine system player-controlled setting.
- the advantage of the latter is there in that a player with his individual distribution of bets against a slot machine 1 of the slot machine system with a Play "machine-controlled" individual distribution of the stakes can.
- Starting point should be a group consisting of two slot machines 1, such as shown in Figs. 1 to 3.
- the central not shown Control units of the slot machines 1 directly or via a coupling link are networked with each other.
- all slot machines 1 of the slot machine system have a common one central control unit can be controlled, for example in the essay 10 (Fig. 3) can be arranged.
- the inventive method is further characterized in that as shown in Fig. 1 via the keys 4 for game sequence control the available stake on each of the slot machines 1 of the slot machine system can be distributed individually on the paylines 3. For this the player will be wagered 1 per game on each of the slot machines 40 points (or also 40 Pf), which he now denominates for example, assign 5 points (5 Pf) to the individual paylines 3 can.
- the left slot machine 1 was one Denomination in the form: 05/10/15/01/05 and the right Slot machines 1 have a denomination in the form: 05/10/01/15/05 assigned what is shown on the digit displays 5.
- the displays 2 of the left and the right show Slot machines 1 each have the same symbol combination.
- This profit value can be in its height can be determined, for example, in such a way that the Stakes of the winning paylines with the values 12 of the Profit plan can be multiplied.
- Payline with the individually defined insert "10" a win would achieve, which according to the profit plan 12 has the value "100”, would subsequently a profit value of "1,000" on the profit memory credited.
- FIG. 2 shows a possibility according to which the symbol combinations, which is achieved in the result of a single game and on the Ads 2 of slot machines 1 can be displayed different weights can be assigned. After that can for example a first symbol combination of the same symbols 6 a first value 7 and the same symbols 8 a second value 9 can be assigned. Again, the result of the individual games and their sum because of the individual distribution of the valences same symbol combinations on the slot machines 1 of the Slot machine system a different win value can be achieved. With regard to the ultimately saved profits can be analogous to the above described procedure to be followed.
- Fig. 3 shows a combination of the individual Distribution options for the stakes shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Additionally an attachment 10 is also provided here, which is also a Includes display unit 11, which is synchronous with the displays 3 of the Slot machine 1 of the slot machine system is running and consequently also shows the same symbol combination.
- the individual Distribution of bets on paylines 3 and / or Winning combinations 6, 8 up to their player-controlled change is retained or, for example, event-dependent and / or randomly changed.
- the latter is particularly advantageous if at one of the slot machines 1, the individual betting distribution through the Players using the buttons 4 and the other slot machine 1 of the Slot machine system the individual betting distribution through the Slot machines 1 itself. This allows a realistic game of Player against the slot machine, which in addition to a high Dexterity share also has a lot of fun.
