ELECTRICALLY OPERATED PLURAL REEL CHANCE DEVICE

摘要

An electronically operated gaming device is described which detects the relative position of a plurality of rotatably mounted reels. The amusement device is the type which is activated by a disc operated switch and which can thereinafter be enabled by an arm or handle connected to the gaming device. The handle trips a drive motor which in turn activates timing logic having a plurality of timed outputs. Each timed output activates a reel stopping mechanism and a further time delay. This time delay activates the next corresponding reel stop mechanism, and so on, until all reel mechanisms are stopped. The timing delay logic also in turn activates position sensor boards which detects the relative position of the reels with one another. The positions of the reels may or may not be indicative of a pay-off sequence. A diode matrix responsive to the sensor boards loads the maximum count a counter may have to register full. The diode matrix simultaneously starts a plurality of signals into pay logic. The pay logic starts a hopper motor which mechanically dispenses a number of discs. Discs dispensing from the hopper energize a disc count switch which feeds count pulses into the counter. The counter then counts up on these pulses until full. Thereafter a full register count is applied to the pay logic which stops the hopper motor.
