Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1983/002904
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A roulette device which has the object of being able to automatically perform the operation required to play roulette in practice. When a start switch is closed, a rotary disc (9) rotates normally, thereby throwing a ball (24) made of a magnetic material onto a rolling passage formed along a ball rolling member (7). A number of sensors (P1, P2, P3, ...) for detecting the passage of the ball and electromagnets (M1, M2, M3, ...) energized in sequence by outputs of the sensors are arranged along the passage, and the ball is gradually accelerated by the attraction forces of the electromagnets so that it rolls along the passage. The disc is rotated in reverse when the ball is thrown into the passage, and therafter idles in reverse. When the energization of the electromagnets is broken, the ball is gradually decelerated, the rolling radius is reduced, the ball then rides on the disc, and is stopped in a certain pocket (10). The betting number is written on the pocket. The roulette device can be installed mainly as a games machine in a games center or sports ground, but when it is fabricated to a small size, it can become a roulette toy capable of being played in domestic situations.
