摘要： A fibre optic light pen including a hollow elongate cylindrical housing having a tip portion and a base portion, and having an elongate cylindrical actuator positioned for axial movement relative to and within said housing tip portion is described. The actuator is operable between an extended position at which the actuator point portion projects outwardly from the housing tip portion, and a retracted position at which the actuator point portion is pressed within the housing hollow tip portion. An axial bore extends through the actuator and contains therein a light conductive rod which extends axially along said bore from the actuator's point portion to the actuator's base portion. A fibre optic light conductor is secured within the hollow housing base portion in such a manner that the light conductive rod focuses light on the light conductor when the actuator is recessed within the hollow tip portion of the housing. When the actuator extends from the hollow tip housing portion, the light conductive rod is moved by the actuator away from the fibre optic light conductor such that light is not transmitted to the light conductor from the light conductive rod. The invention also includes a switch that produces a switching signal when the actuator is recessed within the hollow housing.

摘要翻译： 描述了一种光纤灯笔，其包括具有尖端部分和基部部分的中空细长圆柱形壳体，并且具有定位成相对于所述壳体顶端部分和内部轴向移动的细长圆柱形致动器。 致动器可在致动器点部分从壳体顶端部分向外突出的延伸位置和致动器点部分在壳体中空末端部分内被压紧的缩回位置之间操作。 轴向孔延伸穿过致动器并且在其中容纳有从所述致动器的点部分到致动器的基部部分沿着所述孔轴向延伸的导光杆。 光纤光导体以这样的方式被固定在中空壳体基座部分内，使得当致动器凹陷在壳体的中空尖端部分内时，光导体棒将光聚焦在光导体上。 当致动器从中空末端容纳部分延伸时，导光棒被致动器移动离开光纤光导体，使得光不从光导棒传递到光导体。 本发明还包括当致动器凹陷在中空壳体内时产生开关信号的开关。

摘要： A system to generate large (e.g. $1 million) jackpots for live card games such as blackjack is disclosed. Multiple live card tables are placed in one or more gaming establishments. A coin acceptor is assigned to each player position on the tables and includes a sensor for determining the presence of a coin to generate a signal indicating that a jackpot side bet has been placed and to correspondingly increase the available jackpot that is being accumulated from the side bets on all tables. The coin acceptors are mounted directly to the playing tables. The acceptors have a low profile above the table top and include sloping surfaces to facilitate the insertion and withdrawal of coins from them. Each coin acceptor communicates with a central computer or processor. The computer keeps track of jackpot accumulations, deducts winnings therefrom, controls strategically positioned displays to inform players and dealers of the size of the available jackpot or jackpots, and the table includes controls adjacent the dealer position to prevent late betting and pay winning players their jackpots. To generate the large jackpots, blackjack is played with six full decks of cards, and winning blackjack hands are selected to have the requisite low probability of occurrence.

摘要翻译： 公开了一种用于为诸如二十一点的活动卡游戏产生大（例如100万美元）的累积奖金的系统。 多个活动卡桌放置在一个或多个游戏机构中。 硬币接收器被分配给桌子上的每个玩家位置，并且包括用于确定硬币的存在以产生指示已经放置了中奖投注的信号的传感器，并且相应地增加从侧面累积的可用累积奖金 在所有表上投注。 硬币接收器直接安装在播放桌上。 接收器在桌面上方具有低调，并且包括倾斜表面以便于硬币从其中的插入和取出。 每个硬币接收器与中央计算机或处理器进行通信。 计算机跟踪累积奖金积累，从中扣除奖金，控制策略性定位的显示器，向玩家和经销商通报可用的累积奖金或累积奖金的大小，并且该表格包括与经销商职位相邻的控制，以防止后期投注和支付获胜玩家的累积奖金 。 为了产生大型的积雪潭，二十一点是用六张全套牌进行的，而获胜的二十一点牌被选为具有必要的低发生概率。

摘要： A light pen is described wherein light information indicative of a selected position on a lighted display is propagated along a light conductive fibre cable to a processing circuit. The light pen includes a retractable sleeve wherein pressing the pen to the lighted display moves a pin-hole objective to its focal point on a light conductive fibre cable such that light entering through the pin-hole objective from the lighted display may be propagated along the light conductive fibre cable. Additionally, a magnet may be secured to the sleeve such that the magnet is brought into proximity to, and operates a magnet-actuated switch when the sleeve is retracted.
