  • Patent number: 10196836
    Abstract: A locking system includes a first wire, a first block, a locking core, and a cam. The first wire includes at least one positioning structure and the first block is attached to the first wire at a first positioning structure of the at least one positioning structure to prevent movement of the first block on the first wire. The locking core rotates between a locked position and an unlocked position, and the cam is secured to the locking core to move the first block between a first position that corresponds to the locked position and a second position that corresponds to the unlocked position.

  • Patent number: 5280909
    Abstract: A gaming system in which a plurality of gaming machines are provided with an additional progressive jackpot gaming system which allows players on the gaming machines to play for a jackpot provided by the progressive system. The controller of the progressive system generates in random fashion at the beginning of a game cycle a jackpot-win value for the progressive jackpot which is displayed to the players of the gaming machine from the beginning of the game cycle. The controller also randomly generates a parameter for use with unit bet information from the gaming machines in determining a current jackpot value. When the current jackpot value is brought to the jackpot-win value, the gaming machine responsible is the winner of the progressive jackpot. Also disclosed is the generation by the progressive controller of signalling which is supplied to a winning gaming machine and causes the machine to make the jackpot payout.
