[0036] The following is based on Figures 1 to 4 to describe the implementation manners of the present invention. This description is not to limit the implementation manners of the present invention, but is one of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0037] The composite multiple dice-shaking device 100 is for connecting one or more gaming machine platforms M, so that players can bet on the game results of the composite multiple dice-shaking device 100 through the gaming machine platform M. AsFigures 1 to 2 As shown, a composite multiple dice-throwing device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: two or more dice cups 1 and a control device 2.

[0038] The control device 2 is a microcontroller. As Figure 2 shown, the control device 2 is connected to all the dice cups 1. The control device 2 receives a control signal from an external gaming machine M and activates the corresponding dice cup 1 according to the control signal. Therefore, the control device 2 can activate one or more dice cups 1, enabling the player to play games using one dice cup 1 (such as sic bo) or games using multiple dice cups 1.

[0039] Each dice cup 1 corresponds to an identifier for the control device 2 to identify and control the corresponding dice cup 1 according to the identifier.

[0040] In this embodiment, there are three dice cups 1. The player is allowed to play sic bo on any one of the dice cups 1 through the gaming machine M, compare the sum of the points of the dice D on two of the dice cups 1, or count the number of dice D showing a specific point on all three dice cups 1. Of course, the number of dice cups 1 is not limited to three, and the corresponding gameplay is not limited thereto.

[0041] As Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, each dice cup 1 includes a dice tray 11, a cover 12, a photographing device 13, and a shaking device 14.

[0042] The dice tray 11 is a circular flat plate, and the surface 111 of the dice tray 11 is for placing the dice D. The dice tray 11 is arranged on the shaking device 14. Each dice cup 1 can also be marked differently in appearance. In this embodiment, the surfaces 111 of the three dice trays 11 are respectively printed with "banker", "player one", and "player two" for the player to identify. The dice tray 11 is detachable from the shaking device 14 for easy maintenance or for replacing the dice tray 11 with a different appearance of the surface 111 according to the game.

[0043] The cover 12 covers the surface 111 of the dice tray 11 and isolates the inside and outside, so that the dice D is not interfered by the outside. In this embodiment, the cover 12 includes a transparent cover 121 and an opaque cover (not shown in the figure). The transparent cover 121 is transparent, enabling the player to view the points of the dice D to know the game result. The opaque cover is non-transparent and can be moved up and down by operation to prevent the player from knowing the game result in advance. Among them, the transparent cover 121 is the inner cover, and the opaque cover is the outer cover. In other embodiments, the cover 12 may also have only a transparent cover or have adjustable visibility.

[0044] The photographing device 13 is disposed between the dice tray 11 and the cover 12, and the photographing device 13 faces the tray surface 111. The photographing device 13 transmits the photographed game result images of the tray surface and the dice D to the control device 2.

[0045] The control device 2 receives the game result images of the photographing device 13 of the dice cup device 1 corresponding to the identifiers, and identifies the points of each dice D based on the game result images. The control device 2 can output the points of the dice D as the game output result to the external game console M. In addition, the control device 2 can also perform operations on the points of the dice D of the dice cup device, for example, compare the total points of the dice D between different dice cup devices 1, or obtain the number of dice D with specific points in a plurality of dice cup devices 1. Thus, the output game output result includes the point comparison result between the dice cup devices 1 and / or the number of dice D with specific points in a plurality of dice cup devices 1. In other embodiments, according to the requirements of the game, the control device 2 can also identify information such as the landing points and colors of each dice D based on the game result images.

[0046] When there are a plurality of dice cup devices 1 corresponding to the activated identifiers, the control device 2 controls the shaking devices 14 of the corresponding dice cup devices 1 to operate simultaneously. In other embodiments, the control device 2 can also control the shaking devices 14 to operate successively.

[0047] In this embodiment, the game output result output by the control device 2 includes the points of the dice D, the point comparison result between the dice cup devices 1, and the number of dice D with specific points in a plurality of dice cup devices 1.

[0048] The shaking device 14 is connected to the dice tray 11 and applies a reciprocating force to the dice tray 11. As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the shaking device 14 includes a first shaking member 15 and a second shaking member 16. The first shaking member 15 is disposed below the dice tray 11. The second shaking member 16 is disposed below the first shaking member 15. The first shaking member 15 rotates the dice tray 11 about the first axis x1. The second shaking member 16 rotates the dice tray 11 about the second axis x2.

[0049] The first axis x1 and the second axis x2 are non-parallel. Therefore, when the first shaking member 15 and the second shaking member 16 operate simultaneously, the dice tray 11 can present a complex movement. Of course, in other embodiments, when the shaking device 14 applies a force to the dice tray 11, it can also cause the dice tray 11 to oscillate in the up and down direction.

[0050] The first shaking member 15 includes a first actuator 151 and a first support member 152. The first actuator 151 is connected to the dice tray 11 and applies an up-and-down reciprocating force to the dice tray 11, causing the dice tray 11 to reciprocate with the first support member 152 as the fulcrum, so that the dice tray 11 rotates about the first axis x1. Among them, the first actuator 151 is a motor and a connecting rod, and in other embodiments, the first actuator 151 can also be a force-applying device such as a cam motor, an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a pneumatic cylinder.

[0051] The second shaking member 16 includes a second actuator 161 and a second support member 162. The second actuator 161 is connected to the first shaking member 15 and applies an up-and-down reciprocating force to the first shaking member 15, causing the first shaking member 15 to reciprocate with the second support member 162 as the fulcrum, so that the dice tray 11 rotates about the second axis x2. Among them, the second actuator 161 is a motor and a connecting rod, and in other embodiments, the second actuator 161 can also be a force-applying device such as a cam motor, an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a pneumatic cylinder.

[0052] The first axis x1 and the second axis x2 are parallel to the disk surface 111. In this embodiment, the first axis x1 and the second axis x2 are perpendicular. In Figure 3 and Figure 4 the first axis x1 and the second axis x2 are indicated by "⊙" for the position, and the direction is perpendicular to the paper surface. In this embodiment, both the first axis x1 and the second axis x2 are located on the disk surface 111, and in other embodiments, the first axis x1 and the second axis x2 can also be parallel to the disk surface 111 and at different heights from the disk surface 111.

[0053] The above description and explanation are only for the description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make other modifications according to the protection scope defined above and the above description, but these modifications should still be within the protection scope of the present invention in the spirit of the present invention.
