Publication number: 20200286328Abstract: A gaming system may include a gaming machine, a touchscreen device in electronic communication with the gaming machine, and a gaming chair mechanically coupled to the touchscreen device. The position of the touchscreen device may be adjustable relative to the gaming chair. The touchscreen device is configured to display an interactive interface comprising: selection frame fixed relative to a boundary of the interactive interface; a selection bar comprising a plurality of buttons, each having assigned a desired action, rendered behind the selection frame thereby providing the selection bar to be swiped to the left or right to move the plurality of buttons relative to selection frame wherein a button from the plurality of buttons is positionable within the selection frame; and in response to the button last positioned within the selection frame, rendering or associating a corresponding selectable button at a different position of the interactive interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2020Publication date: September 10, 2020Applicant: Novomatic AGInventors: Roman Czubak, Christoph Bichl

Patent number: 10380827Abstract: A gaming system may include a gaming machine, a touchscreen device in electronic communication with the gaming machine, and a gaming chair mechanically coupled to the touchscreen device. The position of the touchscreen device may be adjustable relative to the gaming chair. The gaming machine may perform an action in response to a signal from the touchscreen device. The touchscreen device may communicate with the gaming machine via a conduit plugged into a hardware port of the gaming machine, for example. The action performed by the gaming machine in response to the signal may include, for example, starting a game, cashing out, retrieving information, selecting pay lines, adjusting a bet, or requesting an attendant.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2017Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: Novomatic AGInventors: Roman Czubak, Christoph Bichl

Patent number: 9566504Abstract: The present invention relates to an air cleaner for removing air pollutants from an air stream, for instance such as the cleaning exhaust/intake gas of an amusement machine, said air cleaner comprising a filter device including at least one filter layer (4a, 4b) held by a filter holder (5) in said airflow substantially perpendicular to a main flow direction thereof and including a plurality of preferably stick-shaped filter elements (6) neighbouring each other. In accordance with the present invention, the filter device has no closed surrounding along the circumference of the filter layers, but provides for an open side along at least a portion of the periphery of the filter layer. At least one circumferential side section (7, 8) of the filter layer parallel to or tangential to the longitudinal axis of an outermost filter element is formed as an open side free of flow control elements surrounding the filter layer.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2014Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignees: NOVOMATIC AG, DEXWET USA LLCInventors: Christoph Bichl, Heinz Winkler, Alois Homer, Erich Petein, Maximillian Vojta
