Roulette-type coin-operated gaming machine
First Claim
1. A process for operating an electronic coin-operated gaming machine of the roulette type, the gaming machine including a roulette-like number pan with number fields having a plurality of numbers displayed thereon and a setting keyboard a plurality of keys, the amount of keys being equal to the amount of numbers on the number-pan, wherein each key corresponds to a particular number on said number-pan, said keys arranged on the front side of the coin-operated gaming machine, the process comprisinga player fixing the amount of a stake by inserting coins into a coin-slot of the gaming machine and subsequently said player selecting a number from said number pan by depressing the corresponding key of the setting keyboard,said depressed key activating a random algorithm in a first microprocessor, said first algorithm randomly selecting a number from said plurality of numbers;
- said first microprocessor determining if said randomly selected number corresponds to the number which has been selected by the depressed key of the keyboard, if said randomly selected number corresponds to said number selected by the depressed key, said first microprocessor activating a second microprocessor with a random-number generator, said random-number generator randomly determining a win multiplier as a function of an entered algorithm and said second microprocessor multiplying said randomly selected win multiplier by the amount of the stake on the selected number and said second microprocessor activating a payout unit to output a number of coins, the quantity of which corresponds to the product of the stake on the selected number times the win multiplier.

Abstract
According to a process for operating a slot machine that works as a roulette wheel, the gambler determines the amount of the stake by introducing coins then by pressing selection keys. A microprocessor determines the result of the game by means of random algorithm. When the chosen number is hit, the microprocessor instructs the coin distributing unit to eject the main prize. When a chosen number is hit, the microprocessor drives another processor with a random generator. The random generator determines, depending on a written algorithm, a gain multiplier which is multiplied by the amount of the stake on the number that was hit. The payment unit is then instructed to distribute an amount in coins which corresponds to the product of the stake on the number that was hit and the gain multiplier.
