Abstract
The present disclosure provides a gaming device. The gaming device may include a geared-wheel assembly having a first gear wheel and a second gear wheel. The first gear wheel and the second gear wheel may be capable of getting rotatably engaged with each other via its teeth and slots. The gaming device may include a gear turntable member that may be aligned behind the first gear wheel and the second gear wheel. The gear turntable member may be rotatingly coupled to the first gear wheel and the second gear wheel. The gaming device may include a first front supporting member and a second front supporting member to support its respective gear wheel from front. The gaming device further includes a method of playing the gaming device, which defines a winning position or a losing position.
Claims20
A gaming device for playing games, the gaming device comprising:
- a geared-wheel assembly having a first gear wheel and a second gear wheel rotatably engaged with each other, wherein the first gear wheel is rotatable along a first axis of rotation and a second gear wheel is rotatable along a second axis of rotation,
- the first gear wheel having a first plurality of teeth and a first plurality of slots, wherein each tooth and slot of the respective first plurality of teeth and first plurality of slots are alternatively aligned across a circumferential edge of the first gear wheel,
- each alternate tooth of the first plurality of teeth having a first card pin coupled to the tooth,
- the second gear wheel having a second plurality of teeth and a second plurality of slots, wherein each tooth and slot of the respective second plurality of teeth and second plurality of slots are alternatively aligned across a circumferential edge of the second gear wheel,
- each alternate tooth of the second plurality of teeth having a second card pin coupled to the tooth;
- a gear turntable member aligned behind the first gear wheel and the second gear wheel to rotatingly couple the first gear wheel and the second gearwheel along the respective first axis of rotation and second axis of rotation;
- a first coupling arrangement to rotatingly couples the first gear wheel with the gear turntable member along the first axis of rotation in spaced manner from each other;
- a second coupling arrangement to rotatingly couple the second gear wheel with the gear turntable member along the second axis of rotation in spaced manner from each other;
- a first front supporting member placed in front and coupled to the first gear wheel along the first axis of rotation, and
- a second front supporting member placed in front and coupled to the second gear wheel along the second axis of rotation,
- wherein the first gear wheel and the second gear wheel are rotatable, respectively, via the first coupling arrangement and the second coupling arrangement, along the respective first axis of rotation and second axis of rotation to define a winning position and a losing position,
- wherein in the winning position, the first card pin and the second card pin of the respective tooth of the first and second plurality of teeth aligned adjacent to each other, and
- wherein in the losing position, the first card pin and the second card pin of the respective tooth of the first and second plurality of teeth not aligned adjacent to each other.
