Abstract:
The present invention disclosed a elevating cable reel of single-layer winding type comprising; a main body installed on a ceiling or wall or a support of a predetermined shape and having a storage space therein; a drum rotatably accommodated inside the main body, and having a hollow therein, and a power cable being wound around a circumferential surface thereof; a driving motor disposed in the hollow to provide forward/reverse rotational force to the drum; a slip ring installed on a part of the drum to receive commercial power in a contact manner; and an elevating body suspended from the lower end of the power cable and installed to be elevated up and down. And, the power cable is wound in a single layer on the circumferential surface of the drum to prevent heat generation due to eddy current.
Abstract:
A slot machine, gaming method, and program product are provided to simulate a wheel spin interaction. A simulated wheel object is provided with physical simulation of movement interactions both with a player and with a simulated flapper object through simulated pin objects present on the wheel. Player interaction is simulated to allow wheel pull back and spin activation. Flapper interaction is simulated to provide realistic interaction of the wheel and flapper with displacement by the simulated pins in both directions. The wheel may also be decelerated and nudged by the simulated pins.
Abstract:
A gaming machine 1 with a plurality of transparent mechanical reels 51a to 51e, a plurality of motors 60a to 60e arranged respectively for spinning and stopping the transparent mechanical reels 51a to 51e, and a display 20 arranged inside of circumference of the transparent mechanical reels 51a to 51e through which the display can be visually recognized from a player's viewpoint. The gaming machine (a) generates a start signal in response to a player's operation, (b) receives the generated start signal and randomly determines a symbol to be stopped and displayed, (c) displays rotation of combination of the transparent mechanical reels 51a to 51e rotated by the motors 60a to 60e and the video reels shown on the display 20, and (d) stops the rotational display at any determined symbol and grants an award to a player.
Abstract:
A wheel game apparatus comprising an inner ring mounted for rotational motion about a central shaft having a plurality of circumferentially spaced slots, a central cone mounted for rotational motion about the shaft in an axial adjacent position to the upper side of the inner ring and including a plurality of markers thereon, and aligning and engagement features whereby the cone can be rotated relative to the inner ring such that each of the markers will align with a slot and the cone will remain engaged while the inner ring is rotated.
Abstract:
Both dice and teetotums have been traditionally more portable than traditional spinning wheels as a means of random result generation. This invention aims to make a spinning wheel just as portable as either of the above.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for facilitating wagering in wagering games by presenting through a display device a user interface comprising a representation of a segmented ring, wherein each segment of the displayed segmented ring corresponds with a wagering option associated with a wagering game; receiving, through the user interface, input from a player relating to one or more desired wagers, wherein the input is received by detecting physical contact with the display device in the area of the segmented ring; and responsive to the input received, presenting, by the display device, a graphical representation of the one or more desired wagers, wherein the graphical representation comprises a form visible on the user interface, the form having a positional element relative to the displayed segmented ring indicating the outcome being wagered on and a dimensional element relative indicating the amount being wagered.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a self-turning device with the ability to mix and identify balls located in a portable compartment with auxiliary control elements. The device is presented as a whole as a small portable stand-alone device with the ability to perform random drawings. The invention is therefore in the field of devices intended for games of chance and arcade games, such as lotteries, bingo, roulettes, board games, etc.
Abstract:
A wheel assembly for a rotary shuffling device includes a fixed base portion with a central opening formed therein and a lower wheel assembly portion secured to the fixed base portion. The lower wheel assembly portion includes a flange portion and a sleeve portion extending from an underside of the flange portion. The sleeve portion is received within the central opening. The flange portion includes a central aperture formed therein. A bearing is disposed within the sleeve portion. An upper wheel assembly portion is in rotational communication with the lower wheel assembly portion. The upper wheel assembly portion has a top portion and a hub portion extending from an underside of the top portion. The hub portion includes an axle portion extending therefrom and through the central aperture for engagement with the bearing.
Abstract:
A gaming machine of the present invention stores a bet area on which a bet is placed and a game value placed as the bet in each gaming terminal, rotates and stops the wheel to determine a resulting symbol from the plurality of symbols, awards a payout based on the resulting symbol and the odds set for the bet area on which the bet is placed in the gaming terminal, and adjusts the payout rate by changing the odds set for the bet areas in the gaming terminals.
Abstract:
Dice rings are designed in a way that one or multiple outer thinner ring(s) spin in a grooved inner ring that slips onto a finger. The outer smaller ring may have numbers, characters, symbols or words distributed around the ring such that when spun, a random result is produced, designated by an indicator marking on the sides of the grooved inner ring.
