    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: A method and apparatus for including a progressive jackpot component in a live casino table game. In addition to playing a live casino table game, each player makes an additional wager at the beginning of each hand that makes that player eligible to win all or part of a jackpot. If during the play of the hand a player is dealt a predetermined arrangement of cards, the player wins a preselected percentage of the jackpot amount. The jackpot is progressive in that unwon amounts of the jackpot carry over to the next hand. Apparatus is provided to receive each gaming token wagered for the jackpot component, to increment the jackpot meter which displays the jackpot amount, to decrement the jackpot meter whenever a winning hand is paid and to reset the apparatus for the next hand.

    摘要: The method of the present invention generally involves a typical casino or cardroom game modified to include a progressive jackpot component. During the play of a Twenty-One game, for example, in addition to this normal wager, a player will have the option of making an additional wager that becomes part of, and makes the player eligible to win, the progressive jackpot. If the player's Twenty-One hand comprises a particular, predetermined arrangement of cards, the player will win all, or part of, the amount showing on the progressive jackpot. This progressive jackpot feature is also adaptable to any other casino or cardroom game such as Draw Poker, Stud Poker, Lo-Ball Poker or Caribbean Stud™ Poker. The apparatus used to practice the present invention comprises a gaming table, such as those used for Twenty-One or poker, modified with the addition of a coin acceptor that is electronically connected to a progressive jackpot meter. When a player drops a coin into the coin acceptor, a light is activated at the player's location indicating that he is participating in the progressive jackpot component of the game during that hand. At the same time, a signal from the coin acceptor is sent to the progressive meter to increment the amount shown on the progressive meter. At the conclusion of the play of each hand, the coin acceptor is reset for the next hand. When a player wins all or part of the progressive jackpot, the amount showing on the progressive jackpot meter is reduced by the amount won by the player. Any number of gaming tables can be connected to a single progressive jackpot meter.

    摘要翻译: 本发明的方法通常涉及经修改以包括累进累积奖金组成部分的典型的赌场或梳理游戏。 例如,在二十一场比赛中,除了这种正常的投注之外,玩家还可以选择进行额外投注,成为一部分,并使玩家有资格赢得累进累积奖金。 如果玩家的二十一只手包含特定的预定安排的牌,则玩家将赢得累积大奖上显示的金额的全部或部分。 这种累进累积奖金也适用于任何其他赌场或卡牌游戏,如扑克扑克,扑克扑克,Lo-Ball扑克或加勒比海盗扑克。 用于实施本发明的装置包括游戏桌,诸如用于二十一或扑克的游戏桌,其通过添加电子连接到累积累积奖表的硬币接收器进行修改。 当玩家将硬币投入硬币接收器时,在玩家的位置处激活灯光,指示他在该手中参与游戏的累进累积奖金分量。 同时,将来自硬币接收器的信号发送到渐进式计量器以增加渐进式计量器上显示的量。 在每只手的结束时,硬币接收器重新设置。 当玩家赢得全部或部分累进累积奖金时,显示在累积奖杯上的金额减少了玩家赢得的金额。 任何数量的游戏桌可以连接到单个累进累积奖金表。
