ABSTRACT:
Device to simulate the action of a conventional mechanical poker machine in an electrically operated poker machine in which the game cycle is initiated by the operation of an electric switch comprising a handle similar to that of a conventional machine connected to a friction device within the cabinet consisting of a spring loaded friction clutch arranged so that as the handle is pulled its movement will be resisted as in a conventional machine, the frictional resistance being automatically removed after the handle has travelled through a predetermined arc. The elements of the friction clutch are provided with ramps such that as the handle is pulled the frictional resistance progressively increases until at the end of the predetermined arc the ramps on the friction elements of the clutch reach their peaks and fall off into the next ramp immediately reducing the frictional load and an electric switch is actuated to start the machine.
