Abstract

A roulette device is disclosed. The roulette device comprises a housing and a top lid, wherein an inner side of the housing comprises a bottom surface, a slop portion and a cover portion. The bottom surface having a plurality of round holes arranged along the edge of the bottom surface; the slop portion being disposed to surround the edge of the bottom surface, and having a plurality of folding lines corresponding to the number of the plurality of round holes, so that a slop surface of the slop portion forms a non-curved surface; the cover portion being disposed above the slop portion, with its inner edge covering the slop portion, so that the bottom surface, the slop portion and the cover portion forms a storage space for a ball to roll inside; and the top lid can be placed above the cover portion and assembled with the housing to form a box-like structure for easy carrying.

Claims (21)

1 . A roulette device, comprising

a housing; and

a top lid configured to be able to assemble with the housing to form a box-like structure, wherein

an inner side of the housing comprises a bottom surface disposed at the bottom side of the housing, a sloped portion disposed to surround an edge of the bottom surface, and a cover portion disposed above the sloped portion;

wherein the bottom surface comprises a plurality of round holes arranged along the edge of the bottom surface; and

wherein the sloped portion comprises a plurality of folding lines corresponding to a number of the plurality of round holes, so that a sloped surface of the sloped portion forms a non-curved surface.

2 . The roulette device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of folding lines divide the sloped portion into a plurality of sloped surface sections, so that the plurality of sloped surface sections corresponds to the plurality of round holes respectively.

3 . The roulette device of claim 2 , wherein an inner edge of the cover portion covers the upper side of the sloped portion, so that the bottom surface, the sloped portion and the cover portion forms a storage space for a ball to roll inside.

4 . The roulette device of claim 3 , wherein the ball is kept inside the storage space by the inner edge of the cover portion covering the upper side of the sloped portion.

5 . The roulette device of claim 3 , wherein an aperture of the plurality of round holes is slightly smaller than a diameter of the ball.

6 . The roulette device of claim 1 , wherein an inner edge of the cover portion covers the upper side of the sloped portion, so that the bottom surface, the sloped portion and the cover portion forms a storage space for a ball to roll inside.

7 . The roulette device of claim 6 , wherein the ball is kept inside the storage space by the inner edge of the cover portion covering the upper side of the sloped portion.

8 . The roulette device of claim 1 , wherein an aperture of the plurality of round holes is slightly smaller than a diameter of the ball.

9 . The roulette device of claim 1 , wherein the housing and the top lid are square-shaped.

10 . The roulette device of claim 1 , wherein an edge length of the top lid is longer than an edge length of the housing so as to be smoothly assembled with each other.

11 . The roulette device of claim 1 , wherein an inner edge of the cover portion covers the upper side of the sloped portion, so that the bottom surface, the sloped portion and the cover portion forms a storage space for a ball to roll inside.

12 . The roulette device of claim 11 , wherein the ball is kept inside the storage space by the inner edge of the cover portion covering the upper side of the sloped portion.

13 . The roulette device of claim 11 , wherein an aperture of the plurality of round holes is slightly smaller than a diameter of the ball.

14 . The roulette device of claim 1 , wherein an inner edge of the cover portion covers the upper side of the sloped portion, so that the bottom surface, the sloped portion and the cover portion forms a storage space for a ball to roll inside.

15 . The roulette device of claim 14 , wherein the ball is kept inside the storage space by the inner edge of the cover portion covering the upper side of the sloped portion.

16 . The roulette device of claim 14 , wherein an aperture of the plurality of round holes is slightly smaller than a diameter of the ball.
