Description

The invention relates to board games and can be used in casinos and gaming halls.

The inventive method of playing roulette consists in the ability to predict the coincidence of the same features of the game elements and the playing field. Game elements adopted tetrahedral multicolored pyramids of the icosahedron, served in the center on the four-color sections of the gaming table, which rotate in different directions. The coincidence of the same signs determines the gain.

There is a device for playing roulette with two playing fields, one below the other. At the same time, the game fields have their own ball and a handle in the center of the game table for the promotion of game fields. Game fields and balls in this roulette design rotate in opposite directions. Those playing on each playing field as a result of the game receive a winning number. But winning is possible only if the numbers on both game fields coincide.

Roulette with a mechanism for rotating game fields with a handle passing along the axis of rotation does not cause full confidence. Suspicions of unauthorized interference by the dealer at the time of rotation of the lower playing field for viewing and when the handle is detached are justified, because shaking elements of the entire structure are possible and the probability of a change in the position of the ball on an already stopped lower playing field is not ruled out.

The closest analogue is the invention, claimed as a roulette, but more intended for the drawing of lotteries. This game design has several balls and the same number of playing fields. The device uses a node for balls with the ability to move them independently from each other relative to the surface of the gaming table to simultaneously throw the balls on the playing field. The node is made in the form of nests, each of which is located above its playing field. A lot of playing balls in this device or design is more designed to obtain ordinal numbers of the lottery ticket number of a lottery. Many established playing fields, one under the other, will undoubtedly cause a certain distrust of the game itself. A design having a mechanism for untwisting game fields for playing with a handle is more suitable for lotteries. In this game, in addition to everything, every player gets the opportunity to independently start the wheel and enter the balls into the game, which contradicts the rules of the roulette game.

A device for playing roulette, as a rule, has only one game ball per one playing field. Playing on installations with a hidden lower playing field always causes players to distrust the process, and therefore interest and, as a result, excitement disappear.

The objective of the invention was to create a game table with rotating game fields in the same plane, increase the number of game elements, to develop a site for simultaneously throwing game elements onto game fields. Simultaneous improvement in the quality of the game and an increase in the number of players at one table is the second solvable task of the proposed development.

The game of roulette consists in the ability to predict the coincidence of the same signs of game elements and the playing field. Game elements can take the tetrahedral pyramids of the icosahedron, fed to the four-color sections of the gaming table, which rotate in different directions. Accidental coincidence of the same signs will determine the gain.

To solve this problem, a prefabricated package of twenty-four-sided pyramids was made. The Icosahedron of the twenty-sided has become the basis for the development of a gaming table of a different format and method for determining the winning number. This package - a multipurpose game element - determines the winning number with its pyramids. Four sides of the pyramids defined a playing field of four sections of twenty sectors with the possibility of rotation in opposite directions. The sides of the pyramids of clearly similar coloring to the sectors of the sections are numbered in accordance with the playing fields in accordance with the accepted rule of the game on the playing field. Sectors are installed separately, each with a fence. Sections have clearly different colors in twenty sectors of each section. All sectors are numbered in color according to the side of the game pyramid. There are eighty playing sectors on the playing field. Twenty game pyramids of four color matching with the coloring of four rotating sections of twenty sectors will allow you to have twenty game matches according to the main features in the ideal case. A device for throwing in the playing elements on the playing field is made inside the tubular base. In the center of the gaming table mounted lifting device with a saddle at the top. Playing elements will be put into the saddle. In a game session, when the sections rotate, the saddle will rise above the hemisphere, the thrower will push the pyramids out of the saddle and they will fall onto sectors of the playing field. Matching color and digital signs and determine the win.

Figure 1 shows the playing field in the plan. Figure 2 - section of a four-tier mechanism for rotation of the sectors of the gaming table, where: 1 - saddle lift; 11 - inertial load; 38 - hemisphere; 39 - icosahedron; 40 - bed of the gaming table. Figure 3 is a small part of the sections of the gaming table, where: 2 - twenty sectors of red in the first section; 3 - twenty sectors of blue color of the second section; 4 - twenty green sectors of the third section; 5 - twenty yellow sectors of the fourth section. The displacement of the general section is due to the fact that for holders 1 and 2, the design of the gaming table provides six holders, and for the third and fourth sections three holders. The game table is mounted on a massive tubular bed, the playing field of which consists of 4 sections, rotating at different angular speeds in opposite directions.

All sectors are numbered in order or in discord depending on the accepted form of the game on the table. Sectors of all sections are made on racks, firmly connected to each other by a stiffening belt. Figure 3 - partitions enclosing the sectors between each other, where: 32 - fencing sectors of the first section; 33 - fencing sectors of the second section; 34 - fencing sectors of the third section; 35 - fencing sectors of the fourth section. Figure 4 - the base of the first section, where: 10 - the base of the racks of the first section; 6 - rack sectors of the first section; 45 - belt stiffness of the racks of sectors of the first section; 40 - bed of the gaming table. Figure 5 - the base of the second section, where: 12 - the base of the racks of the second section; 7 - rack sectors of the second section; 46 - belt stiffness racks sectors of the second section; 40 - bed. Figure 6 - the base of the struts of the third section, where: 8 - rack sectors of the third section; 15 - the base of the third section; 47 - a stiffness belt of the struts of the sectors of the third section; 40 - bed. In Fig.7 - the base of the racks of the fourth section, where: 9 - rack sectors of the fourth section; 18 - the base of the fourth section; 48 - belt stiffness of the racks of sectors of the fourth section. The bases of the struts are an elastic circular platform supported by rotation bearings rigidly mounted on the bed and on the transmission wheels of rotation of the bases. In places where the surfaces of the lower and upper bases are touched by the transfer wheels, a track made of a material with a high coefficient of friction, for example rubber, is made to increase the adhesion of the wheels to the surface of the bases. The base of the first section is based on rotation bearings on the bed, figure 2. An inertial load with a drive to lift the icosahedron and the partition mechanism is fixed on the bottom of the base. The base of the second section is based on rotation bearings on the bed and on six gear wheels of rotation of the section, Fig, where: 10 - the base of the first section; 14 - gear wheel rotation section; 24 - the holder of the gear wheel of the first section; 28 - a device for lifting partitions on the holder; 44 - case rack racks sectors; 49 - the stiffness belt of the cases of fencing sectors of the first section. The base of the third section is based on rotation bearings on the bed and on six gear wheels of rotation of the section, Fig.9, where: 12 - the base of the second section; 17 - gear wheel rotation section; 25 - the holder of the gear wheel of the second section; 29 - a device for lifting partitions on the holder; 43 - case rack racks sectors; 50 - the stiffness belt of the cases of fencing sectors of the second section. The base of the fourth section is based on rotation bearings on the bed and on three gear wheels of rotation of the section, figure 10, where: 15 - the base of the third section; 20 - gear wheel rotation section; 26 - the holder of the gear wheel of the third section; 30 - a device for lifting partitions on the holder; 42 - case rack racks sectors; 51 - the stiffness belt of the cases of fencing sectors of the third section. The central supporting platform for the hemisphere is based on rotation bearings on the bed and on three transmission wheels of rotation of the section, Fig. 11, where: 53 is the supporting platform of the hemisphere; 18 - the base of the fourth section; 23 - a gear wheel of rotation of the fourth section; 27 - the holder of the gear wheel of the fourth section; 31 - a device for lifting partitions on the holder; 41 - case rack racks sectors; 52 - the stiffness belt of the cases of fencing sectors of the fourth section. Holders in groups for each section are installed at different levels on the bed. In the internal cavity of the holders mounted transmission device for raising and lowering the fences of the sectors during the game, Fig.12. Six holders of the first section are mounted above the base of the first section at an angle of sixty degrees with each other. Six gear wheels transmit rotation to the base of the second section in a counterclockwise direction of rotation. Six holders of the second section are mounted above the base of the second section at an angle of sixty degrees with each other. Six gear wheels of the holders transmit the rotation to the base of the third section in a clockwise direction of rotation. The holders of the third section are mounted above the base of the third section at an angle of one hundred and twenty degrees between themselves. Three transmission wheels of the holders transmit the rotation to the base of the fourth section in a counterclockwise direction of rotation. The holders of the fourth section are mounted above the base of the fourth section at an angle of one hundred and twenty degrees between themselves. Three transmission wheels of the holders transmit the rotation to the hemisphere section in a clockwise direction. All gear wheels are mounted with a bearing on the holder. The rubber shell on the working surface of the gear wheel is necessary for soft and accurate transfer of rotational movements of the sections in opposite directions. The gear wheels for the rotation of the sections are mounted on tubular holders firmly fixed to the bed. The center of the playing field is covered with a hemisphere with a hole for a lift with an icosahedron in the saddle, Fig.2. The hemisphere surface is made with four vertical oval protrusions to enhance the spread of the pyramids on the playing field. During the rotation of the sections of the gaming table, the throwing mechanism of the polyhedron is simultaneously lifted. The elevator from the level of the gaming table feeds the pyramids installed in the saddle, above the hemisphere hole. When the rotation of the game sections stops and the polyhedron rises completely above the hemisphere, the face-off mechanism is triggered. As a result, all the pyramids of the icosahedron fall on the hemisphere, then slide into sectors of the playing field. Sectors, mounted separately from one another, are limited by a barrier fence. The cases of the racks of the fencing sectors are based on the device for lifting the partitions on the holders and are firmly connected to each other by a stiffening belt. The device fencing sectors raises the walls at the time of throwing the pyramids on the gaming table, distributing into sectors the pyramids that fell on the boundaries between sections and sectors, Fig.12 pos.28-31.

The icosahedron is a polyhedron on the surfaces of the bases, composed of regular trihedral pyramids. The faces of the pyramids are red, blue and green. The base of the pyramid is yellow. The sides of the pyramids are numbered in color according to the color and numbering of the corresponding section. The polyhedron, folded inwards, is installed in the saddle of the lift, made in the opening of the bed of the gaming table in the center of the playing field. The mechanism for raising and lowering the fences of the sectors is made on a lifting device inside the bed.

The pyramids are assembled into a bag by the assistant croupier in an arbitrary order with the base out. The package is prepared in advance before the game in the presence of players. Installation of the package in the saddle of the lift is performed by the croupier immediately after pushing the previous one, immediately before the lowering of the lift downward.

A device for playing roulette works as follows. The croupier with the help of a cue sets the polyhedron into the saddle of the lift. The elevator goes down to the level of the gaming table. The croupier announces: "Bet." Players place their order on the betting table. At the words "There are no more bets," the croupier spins the game table clockwise by the handle of the first section. Using the gear wheels, the second section rotates counterclockwise, the third section rotates clockwise, the fourth section rotates counterclockwise, and the hemisphere rotates clockwise. The mechanism of untwisting sectors simultaneously performs the lifting of the throwing device of the pyramids. Slowly, during the unwinding of the first section by three or four turns, the device of the elevator raises the polyhedron to the level of the hemisphere. Sections rotate until the polyhedron rises completely above the hemisphere in its opening. At this moment, the lifting mechanism includes a pusher of the polyhedron, followed by a stop of the rotation of the sections and the lifting of the belt of partitions of all four sections at the same time. By this moment, the pyramids under the influence of the thrower randomly scattered around the hemisphere and rolled into sectors of four sections. The rising partitions distributed the pyramids that fell on the game table into the sectors of the fall for their exact location.

lay on the first section: blue side pyramid Number 2 to the red sector No. 5; green side pyramid Number 10 on the red sector No. 6; green side pyramid Number 6 to the red sector No. 15; pyramid red side Number 4 to the red sector No. 16; blue side pyramid Number 9 to the red sector No. 12; blue side pyramid Number 17 to the red sector number 10. lay on the second section: green side pyramid No. 1 on the blue sector No. 10; pyramid red side Number 14 on the blue sector No. 20; pyramid red side Number 8 on the blue sector No. 12; green side pyramid Number 15 on the blue sector number 11. on the third section lay: pyramid red side Number 3 on the green sector No. 6; blue side pyramid Number 18 on the green sector No. 17; yellow side pyramid Number 13 on the green sector No. 13; green side pyramid Number 20 to the green sector №20 yellow side pyramid Number 12 on the green sector No. 9; yellow side pyramid Number 11 to the green sector number 1. on the fourth section lay: pyramid red side Number 19 on yellow sector No. 7; blue side pyramid Number 7 on yellow sector No. 12; green side pyramid Number 16 on yellow sector No. 14; blue side pyramid Number 5 on the yellow sector number 3.

The croupier begins checking the coincidence of the number and color of the lower side of the pyramid and the number and color of the sector. Using the capture, all suspicious coincidence pyramids are turned upside down to visually determine the coincidence of the indicated signs.

On the gaming table there were 3 cases of coincidence of the same signs:

1) coincided in color - the red side of the pyramid No. 4 and the red sector No. 16 of the first section;

2) matched digitally - the yellow side of the pyramid No. 13 and the green sector No. 13 of the third section;

3) matched digitally and in color - the green side of the pyramid No. 20 and the green sector No. 20 of the third section.

So, as a result of the game session, there were three winning options. The first two winning options are awarded an order of magnitude lower than in the case of the third option. In a practical game, other combinations of coincidence of the same signs and / or their number are possible.

During the control and determination of the win, the thrower lift mechanism returns to its original position, the partition belt falls below the level of the game sectors and the table mechanism is ready for the next game session.

The croupier needs two cues to play the game. One for installing the pyramid package in the saddle of the lift. The second cue for collecting pyramids from the gaming table for subsequent assembly into a package, as well as for viewing signs of the lower edge of the lying pyramid.

The game of roulette on the gaming table with game elements in the proposed format has a significant improvement in the quality of the game process. Compared to existing constructions and game methods, this option has the following advantages:

1) the original method of determining the winning number is applied, and there can be several winning numbers;

2) instead of one playing field, a game on four playing fields is proposed;

3) all playing fields are located in one horizon with the possibility of direct observation by players of the fall of the pyramids from the hemisphere to the game sectors;

4) the number of playing fields is more than doubled;

5) the number of playing elements has been increased - significantly;

6) the color designation of the playing elements and the playing field has become one of the decisive factors in determining winnings;

7) the influence on the end result of the game of subjective factors and extraneous interference are completely excluded;

8) the possibility of using electronic tracking equipment and preliminary determination of winnings is completely excluded;

9) the proposed format of the game has the ability to expand the options for gaming tables and the rules of the game on them by changing the digital and color designations of the sides of the game elements and game fields.
