AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a gaming device with a display that can show various information to the user, such as game instructions. The display can also show advertising or other games to enhance the device's entertainment value. The device is designed with improved visibility and easy use, as the display and coin track are in close proximity to each other. The device can also be mounted on a pivoting door of the device housing for installation and maintenance. The technical effects of the patent text are improved visibility and ease of use of the gaming device, increased entertainment value, and improved facilitation of installation and maintenance.

Problems solved by technology

Up to now, solutions for display of such information on the aforementioned devices have been unsatisfactory.
On the one hand, the user's concentration on the actual coin-tossing or coin-shooting game is impaired; on the other hand, it is tiring for the device user to glance back and forth between the coin-tossing game and the display of such information, as the eyes need to look back and forth accordingly in this case.

Embodiment Construction

[0033]As FIGS. 1 and 5 show, the gaming device 1 may comprise an essentially cubic device housing 2, which may be advantageously designed in the manner of a cabinet and comprise a housing door 13 in order to be able to open the device housing 2 and render accessible the components accommodated inside the device. Said housing door 13 may in this case form the housing front, which can be essentially viewed frontally from an operating terminal suited to the purpose. The gaming device 1 may be designed as a free-standing, a so-called standalone device, but may also form a wall-mounted device that can be fixed to the wall.

[0034]As FIG. 1 shows, a firing mechanism 7 is provided on the housing front or the housing door 13, preferably in a bottom section, of which the operating lever 14 can be seen in FIG. 1. Using said firing mechanism 7, a player can shoot a game coin or game object 11 into a coin or object track 5, or set the coin or object in motion, wherein said coin or object track 5 ...

Abstract

Gaming device with a firing mechanism for shooting a game coin into a coin track, comprising a preferably arc-shaped deflection track and leading to a target device, wherein the deflection track is bordered by a recess in a housing front panel and the target device is arranged in the area of said recess, characterised in that the housing front panel is at least sectionally transparent in design, wherein behind the housing front panel, a visualisation device is arranged such that at least a portion of the visualisation device is visible through the housing front panel and / or through the recess.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention concerns a gaming device with a firing mechanism for shooting a game coin into a coin track comprising a preferably arc-shaped deflection track and leading to a target device.BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0002]A gaming Adevice of this kind is known from DE 87 06 212 U1. The deflection track is of circular design in this specification, such that depending on the velocity with which the game coin is shot in, the latter drops sooner or later from an overhead section of the circular track and subsequently continues to travel along a parabolic trajectory or a ballistic trajectory. The target device comprises a crown open towards the top, having several juxtaposed target channels, so that depending on the velocity with which the coin is shot in, the latter falls into one of the target channels or areas, or next to the target device.[0003]Different types of coin such as chips, tokens or genuine currency may serve as game coins.[00...
