摘要： A coin acceptor for use in accepting coins, paper currency, tokens, or magnetic cards includes a multi-state visual display for indicating the condition of the coin acceptor or an attached device. The coin acceptor finds application in connection with gambling devices including video poker games and slot machines, as well as with vending machines, arcade games, automated teller machines, and other similarly actuated devices and machines. In a preferred embodiment, the coin acceptor finds application in connection with a progressive jackpot component for a live casino table game and includes a visual display having three different states. In a first state, corresponding to jackpot wager attract or invitation, a plurality of LEDs surrounding a token slot flash sequentially to form a traveling pattern around the slot. In a second state, corresponding to jackpot wager placement, the LEDs flash simultaneously. In a third state, corresponding to jackpot wager acceptance, the LEDs remain continuously illuminated.

摘要： In a poker game variation in which one or more players play against the house, the player(s) place bets and then three face-up hands consisting of two cards each are dealt. Player(s) each choose one of the three hands and then five communal cards are dealt face-up. In a first embodiment, all five communal cards are dealt face-up at one time, and then the winning hand(s) is determined by comparing the three hands in conjunction with the communal cards using poker rank as the criterion for comparison. Each player betting on the winning hand wins his or her bet. In a second embodiment, three of the five communal cards are turned face-up, after which all players have the option of surrendering one-half of their bet and folding. After the surrender opportunity, the remaining two communal cards are turned face-up and the winning hand determined using poker rank as the criterion for comparison. A third embodiment is identical to the second embodiment, with the exception that winning players are paid a bonus amount depending upon the poker rank of the winning hand. For example, a royal flush pays 50 to 1, a straight flush pays 20 to 1, etc. Live casino and video poker versions of each of the three embodiments of the game are disclosed. A novel gaming table layout for use in the live casino versions of the game is also disclosed.

摘要： A bulkhead assembly for use with a concrete form and a first reinforcement bar is disclosed. The concrete form may have first and second spaced form sides; and the first reinforcement bar may be disposed between and may extend longitudinally of the spaced form sides. The bulkhead assembly may have a first pair of channel assemblies, each including a channel member and an elastomeric member. The elastomeric member may be positioned longitudinally in the channel member, with a portion of the elastomeric member extending outward transversely from the channel member. The portion may include an outer end that extends longitudinally of the channel member. The channel assemblies may be positioned on opposite sides of the reinforcement bar, with the elastomeric member outer ends facing one another and contacting the reinforcement bar, thereby inhibiting uncured concrete from passing between the channel assemblies when uncured concrete is poured into the concrete form.
