Description

A device for conducting a game relates to devices for conducting rallies, to devices for generating random numbers or characters. The device can be used in attractions, as well as during quizzes, charity lotteries, contests, and gambling.

The prior art.

A device for conducting a game is known in which space objects of artificial and / or natural origin are used as elements determining winning positions on the playing field, and at least a part of the surface of at least one spacecraft and / or at least a portion of the surface of at least one playing space object of artificial origin (RF Patent No. 2138309, IPC A 63 F 3/06, 1999.09.27).

The objective disadvantage of this device is the complexity and high cost of the used technical means. The disadvantages of this game can also include, in particular, the duration of the game and determining the results of the game, and this leads to a decrease in gambling among its participants, which as a result greatly reduces interest in the game as a whole.

One of the closest analogues is a device for playing a game, containing a playing field mounted rotatably around a vertical axis and having position numbers located along the perimeter, a central "house" with small animals, mounted in the center of the playing field and configured to release small animals to determine the winning item numbers (US 4508352 A (WILLIAM C.JOHNSON), Apr.2, 1985).

The objective of the claimed invention is to reduce the duration of the game while increasing the objectivity of random selection, which in turn will lead to a decrease in the ability to predict winning positions.

This object is achieved in that the device comprises a playing field mounted rotatably around a vertical axis and having position numbers located along the perimeter, peripheral "houses", a central "house" with small animals, mounted in the center of the playing field with the possibility of autonomous rotation relative to it and made with the possibility of releasing small animals to determine the winning position numbers on a stopped playing field, protective fences located between the peripheral "houses" for sending small animals to the peripheral "houses" with their entry into any peripheral "house" to determine the numbers of the peripheral "houses" as the winning position numbers in the game, and the means for registering the winning position numbers.

The task is also achieved by the fact that along the perimeter of the playing field for its rotation are evenly distributed vertical handles.

The invention is illustrated by the following graphic materials. Figure 1 shows a side view of the device. Figure 2 shows a top view of the device.

A device for conducting a game comprises a playing field with positions for accidentally hitting elements defining winning positions by such a hit, a hit registration means and a hit display means. As a game field, a field was used with the possibility of its rotation around the vertical axis and with the numbers of positions located along its perimeter for accidentally hitting the determinants of winning position numbers in the game by such a hit and the means of registering the hit of the determinants of winning position numbers. The device is equipped in the center of the playing field with the possibility of slow autonomous rotation relative to it by a central "house" with small animals (rotation of the central "house" can stimulate the animal to exit from it to the periphery) and with the possibility of their release from the central "house" to determine the winning position numbers on a stopped playing field and protective fences located between the peripheral "houses" for directing small animals to the peripheral "houses" of the playing field and with the entry of these small live from any peripheral "house" to determine the numbers of peripheral "houses" as winning position numbers in the game. Along the perimeter of the playing field, vertical handles are evenly arranged, ensuring its rotation by hand.

The positions in the drawings indicate:

1 - rotatable table;

2 - peripheral "houses" for small (s) animal (s);

3 - the central "house" with small (s) animal (s);

4 - a protective fence (not shown in FIG. 1) to allow the passage of a small animal only into the peripheral "house";

5 - rotation drive of the central "house" and / or table;

6 - handles of rotation of the table manually.

Entrance / exit for a small animal to / from each "house" is not shown.

The gaming machine (device) can be made of ordinary materials such as dimensional wood with standard tools, and therefore the cost of its device is minimized. The material of the playing field-table is plywood covered with carpet. The sector for the "house" can be decorated in a color scheme. The table is made on thrust bearings, ensuring its easy rotation by hand. The axis of rotation of the central "house" relative to the table, the central "house" - removable from the axis. The rotation drive of the central axis is electric or mechanical.

It is possible to use signal systems in peripheral "houses" that are triggered by contact with an animal when it enters the "house" - the signal lamp on this "house" lights up.

The operation of the device is determined by the rules of the game. In this case, the rules of the games conducted by the claimed device can be any, for example, the preparation and conduct of the game may look as follows.

Before the draw, the organizers of the game prepare for launch the playing field (in the form of a rotatable table), divided into sectors with peripheral "houses" with numbers, for example, a multiple of 6.

After the announcement of the game cycle, the game participants register at least one position of the playing field and contribute money (make bets) to the fund of the game organizers. After collecting bets, the organizers of the game draw a winning position by activating the registration mode for the entry of elements (small animals leaving the central "house" and entering the peripheral "houses" with numbers), checking these data by the participants of the game and, if necessary, independent experts. There can be one or several animals in the central "house", but they can be released from the "house" only one at a time. A guinea pig or rodent mouse can play about one hour before being replaced for rest, food, and drink. Since there is always a suspicion that some peripheral “houses” might have been processed with specific aromas of food or the like, the animals involved are fed and watered outside the playing table.

Upon completion of the game cycle, a new game cycle may be immediately conducted.

The use of natural random processes (the behavior of fed small animals is almost unpredictable) in this invention provides guarantees of their objectivity, while the main task of the organizer of the game (or series of games) is only to ensure that data on these processes is recorded in the interests of monitoring the results, the above processes satisfy all the necessary requirements, namely:

- they are "unpredictable", i.e. there is no possibility of predicting the results of the game through the use of any technical means;

- they are amenable to control, i.e. they can be observed with the ability to measure and record the results, while control can be carried out both for the process itself and for its impact on the playing field;

- they are quite frequent, since the waiting time for results is accordingly fleeting;

- they are objective, i.e. game participants and independent experts have the opportunity to check the results achieved, and the game organizers do not have the opportunity to distort or hide the results achieved in the game from such a check.

The game can be played for prizes or for money and bets. Invented game - high voltage and entertainment due to unpredictable tricks of live random selectors and the fact that skilled players do not have an advantage over beginners. Players of all ages can participate and enjoy the game.
