Roulette device and game control method
View Patent ↗A roulette device including: a roulette plate having a plurality of marks arranged thereon; a ball which rolls on the roulette plate; a plurality of ball receiving parts which are formed corresponding to the marks in a circumferential direction of the roulette plate to receive the ball; a bank passage which is provided on an outer periphery of the ball receiving parts of the roulette plate and on which the ball rolls along a circumferential orbit; a compressor which compresses air; and a first discharge hole which is provided in each ball receiving part and through which the air compressed by the compressor is discharged to the bank passage.
1. A roulette device comprising:
a roulette plate having a plurality of marks arranged thereon;
a ball which rolls on the roulette plate;
a plurality of ball receiving parts which are formed corresponding to the marks in a circumferential direction of the roulette plate to receive the ball;
a bank passage which is provided on an outer periphery of the ball receiving parts of the roulette plate and on which the ball rolls along a circumferential orbit;
a compressor which compresses air; and
a first discharge hole which is provided in each ball receiving part and through which the air compressed by the compressor is discharged to the bank passage.
2. The roulette device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a second discharge hole which is provided in the bank passage and through which the air compressed by the compressor is discharged to a circumferential direction of the bank passage.
3. The roulette device according to claim 1 , wherein
the ball receiving parts and the bank passage are continuously formed via an inclined plane which is inclined in an ascending direction from the ball receiving parts to the bank passage at a predetermined angle.
4. The roulette device according to claim 3 , wherein
the ball receiving part is formed to have a depth smaller than the diameter of the ball with respect to the inclined plane.
5. The roulette device according to claim 1 , wherein
the bank passage has a wall portion which is provided on an outer periphery to be continuous to the bank passage.
6. A roulette device comprising:
a roulette plate having a plurality of marks arranged thereon;
a ball which rolls on the roulette plate;
a plurality of ball receiving parts which are formed corresponding to the marks in a circumferential direction of the roulette plate to receive the ball;
a bank passage which is provided on an outer periphery of the ball receiving parts of the roulette plate and on which the ball rolls along a circumferential orbit;
a central fixing part;
a rotating part which is provided in a vicinity of the central fixing part and has the marks and the ball receiving parts thereon;
a supporting member which rotatably supports the rotating part with respect to the central fixing part;
a drive unit which rotates the rotating part in a predetermined direction with respect to the central fixing part;
a compressor which compresses air;
a fixed discharge hole which is provided in the central fixing part and through which the air compressed by the compressor is discharged to the ball received in the ball receiving part;
a ball detecting unit which detects a specific ball receiving part having the ball therein, when the ball is received in the specific ball receiving part among the plurality of ball receiving parts; and
a drive control unit which controls the drive unit so that the specific ball receiving part detected by the ball detecting unit is located at a predetermined position where the air is discharged from the fixed discharge hole, wherein
the roulette plate includes: the central fixing part; the rotating part; and the supporting member.
7. The roulette device according to claim 6 , further comprising:
a bank discharge hole which is provided in the bank passage and through which the air compressed by the compressor is discharged to a circumferential direction of the bank passage.
8. The roulette device according to claim 6 , wherein
the ball receiving parts and the bank passage are continuously formed via an inclined plane which is inclined in an ascending direction from the ball receiving parts to the bank passage at a predetermined angle.
9. The roulette device according to claim 8 , wherein
the ball receiving part is formed to have a depth smaller than the diameter of the ball with respect to the inclined plane.
10. The roulette device according to claim 6 , wherein
the bank passage has a wall portion which is provided on an outer periphery to be continuous to the bank passage.
