Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent gifts from being paid off over a preset paying-off rate for improving an earning property without damaging the reliability of a player on a game machine. SOLUTION: The same presumed number of medals are enabled to be inputted through a plurality of ports, while the number of medals paid off according to the number of the inputs are increased. Thus, the recovery rate (earnings) of medal of a game machine is increased while a player can play also an enjoyable and exciting game. Also, when the paying-off rate exceeds the set one, even if the number of medals presumed by the player coincides with the number of read-out medals, the number of the presumed medals is subtracted from the number of the read-out medals in the medal counting to be displayed on a counter 11. Thus, the medals can be prevented from being paid off over the set paying-off rate and since the player can view the count action, the count number also gets reliable.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game machine, and more particularly, to estimating the number of falling objects (eg, medals) of an indefinite number.
If the estimated number of falling objects is correct, the present invention relates to a game machine for paying out a predetermined prize.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an indefinite number of medals are dropped from the upper part of a main body case, and the number of dropped medals is estimated. There are game machines in which the same number of medals are paid out.

[0003] As a game method of this game machine, first,
When the game is started, a plurality of medals fall from the upper part of the main body case, and the dropped medals are stored and held in a tray. The player estimates the number of medals stored in the tray based on the amount of medals. At this time, the player inserts medals necessary for playing the game into the game machine, and then operates the operation keys to input the estimated number of medals. Here, by increasing the number of inserted medals, the number of inputs of the estimated number of medals also increases. That is, one estimated medal number can be input for each inserted medal number.

When the input of the estimated number of medals is completed, the number of medals on the saucer is clearly indicated to the player. Here, when the estimated number of medals input by the player matches the actual number of medals on the tray, the same number of medals as the estimated number of medals are paid out to the hit player. That is, in this game machine, the estimated number of medals input by the player is the odds (payout ratio) at that time.

[0005]

However, the game machine according to the prior art has the following problems.

(1) The estimated number of medals that can be input can be increased by the number of inserted medals, but a plurality of medals cannot be input for the same estimated number of medals. That is, even if a plurality of numbers are input for one numeral (the same estimated number of medals), the odds do not change.

Therefore, there is a problem that the number of medals inserted from the player into the game machine is low, and the medal collection rate of the game machine is low. Also, for the player side, 1
Since only one input is possible per estimated number of medals, there is a problem that there is no interest.

(2) When the input estimated number of medals matches the actual number of medals, the same number of medals are paid out, but this system does not work as a game. That is, the medal payout magnification (odds) always changes according to the estimated number of medals, and is indefinite. The fact that the number of prizes to be paid out is indeterminate does not hold as a game and is not interesting. In other words, the game machine ignores the rule that the odds are not more than the reciprocal of the hit probability.

(3) The counting place for counting the number of medals on the receiving tray is performed at a position where the player cannot visually recognize the medal, and only the counted number is displayed to the player. Therefore, the player determines that the displayed number of medals is
I was wondering if the number of medals actually counted was the same, and lacked credibility. As a result, the frequency of playing the game machine decreases, and the number of medals collected by the game machine also decreases.

(4) When the player gets used to a certain degree,
There is a risk of overpayment. The reason is that the number of dropped medals is three digits (for example, 48
5), 1 due to the falling time of the medals and the bulkiness on the tray
The number in the 00's place ("4") can be approximated. In other words, when the number of dropped medals is “485”, the player has an estimated amount and the number of dropped medals is “40”.
It can be easily determined that the number is in the range of “0” to “499”. Therefore, the hit probability is that the actual number of dropped medals is 3
Despite being a digit number, the actual hit probability is the hit probability (one hundredth) that hits the last two digits.

However, even in this case, the odds are 485 times the number of dropped medals. Therefore, when the player becomes accustomed to the game, this game machine may cause overpayment, and the game cannot be established.

In order to solve this problem, if the number of dropped medals is set to two digits (for example, 60 (in this case, the odds are 60 times)), the number of payout medals is small even if the hit is successful. Therefore, the game is uninteresting because of the opposition of the player.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and a first object of the present invention is to provide a game machine capable of improving income. A second object is to provide a game machine which can prevent a premium from being overpaid when the estimated number estimated by the player matches the actual number of falling objects.

It is a third object of the present invention to provide a game machine that is amusing while standardizing the number of prize payouts when the estimated number of hits is in the middle and ensuring an appropriate prize payout rate regardless of the player's experience.

[0015]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a fallen object storage section for accommodating a fallen object before falling, and a predetermined portion from the fallen object storage section. Estimated number input means operated by the player when inputting the estimated number of fallen objects falling on the object, and counting means for counting the fallen objects dropped from the fallen object storage unit one by one at a position visible to the player Display means for displaying the count number in synchronization with the count by the count means, and informing the player of the count number, and the estimated number input from the estimated number input means, the count displayed on the display means. Prize payout means for paying out a predetermined prize when the number coincides with the number, and the estimated number input means comprises:
The estimated number of the same number can be input in a plurality of units, and when the estimated number matches the count number displayed on the display unit, the prize payout means determines the number of prizes to be paid out according to the input number of the estimated number. The point is to change it.

[0016] In the invention according to claim 2, a fallen object container for accommodating and holding a fallen object before falling, a conveying means for conveying a predetermined number of fallen objects to the fallen object storage unit, and Estimated number input means operated by the player when inputting the estimated number of fallen objects that have fallen from the fallen object storage section to the predetermined site, and the player visually recognizes the fallen object that has fallen from the fallen object storage section after inputting the estimated number. Counting means for counting at possible positions, display means for displaying the count number of the fallen object counted by the counting means, and the estimated number input from the estimated number input means matching the number displayed on the display means In this case, the prize payout means for paying out a predetermined prize and the estimated number input from the estimated number input means before the counting of the falling objects by the counting means are performed by the transport means. The hit determination means for determining whether or not the number of fallen objects matches the sent number of dropped objects, and before the prize is paid out by the prize payout means, the number of prizes to be paid out based on the determination result of the hit determination means is The number-of-payouts determination means for determining whether or not a predetermined condition is exceeded, and the number-of-payouts determination means determines that the number of prizes to be paid out exceeds a predetermined condition. Even if the estimated number input from the number input unit matches the actual number of fallen objects, the count number displayed on the display unit is displayed differently from the actual number of fallen objects counted by the count unit. The gist of the present invention is to provide a count number displacing means.

In the invention according to claim 3, the gist is that the number of prizes to be paid out by the prize payout means is determined based on a preset magnification. (Operation) In the invention described in claim 1, first, an indefinite number of falling objects fall into the falling object storage portion. The player estimates the number of fallen objects that have fallen into the fallen object storage unit with a sense such as the amount of eyes. Then, the player inputs the estimated number using the estimated number input means. When the input of the estimated number is completed, the falling object in the falling object storage unit is counted by the counting means at a position visible to the player.

When the estimated number input by the player matches the actual number of falling objects, a predetermined premium is paid out. At this time, when a plurality of units are input to the estimated number of hits, the number of prizes to be paid out by the prize payout means is changed according to the input number.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, a predetermined number of falling objects are transported to the falling object storage section by the transport means. When a fallen object falls from the fallen object storage unit to a predetermined site, the player estimates how many fallen objects that have fallen into the fallen object storage unit, such as the amount of eyes. Then, the player inputs the estimated number using the estimated number input means.

Before the counting of falling objects by the counting means, it is determined whether or not the estimated number input from the estimated number input means by the hit determination means coincides with the number of falling objects conveyed to the falling object storage section by the conveying means. Is determined. Here, if the hit determination means determines that the two numbers match, the payout rate determination means determines whether or not the number of prizes scheduled to be paid out this time exceeds a preset number of prize payouts. Is done. Here, when it is determined by the payout rate determining means that the number of prize payouts set in advance is exceeded,
The count number of the fallen object by the count number displacement means is displayed as a number different from the actual number of fallen objects counted by the count means. Therefore, even if the estimated number input from the estimated number input means hits the actual number of falling objects, no prize is paid out to the player.

The counting of the falling objects by the counting means is performed at a position where the player can visually recognize the falling objects, but the counting number changing means keeps the player from noticing and changes the counted number displayed on the display means to the actual falling object. Is different from the count number.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in addition to the operation of the first or second aspect, the number of prizes to be paid out based on the number of prize paid out is determined based on a preset magnification. Therefore, the number of prizes to be paid out is standardized.

At the upper part of the column 4, a bucket 18 as a fallen object storage portion is supported so as to be rotatable about a shaft 19. The shaft 19 rotates around the shaft 19 with the driving of the bucket rotation motor 20.
The communication between the bucket 18 and the discharge port 17 a of the second counter 17 is via a transfer pipe 21. In the present embodiment, the second hopper 16 (second counter 17) and the transport pipe 21 constitute a transport unit.

Here, the game contents of the game machine according to the present embodiment will be briefly described. First, bucket 18
The demonstration medal M1 is discharged from the medal drop opening 10 into the first hopper 7. The player looks at the falling state of the demonstration medal M1 dropped from the medal drop opening 10 and the bulkiness of the demonstration medal M1 stored in the first hopper 7, and checks the demonstration medal M1 in the first hopper 7. Estimate the number.
Then, the player inserts a predetermined payout medal M2 from the medal insertion slot 14, and inputs the estimated medal number estimated by himself / herself by operating the ten keys 12. When the input of the estimated number of medals is completed, the first counter 9 is driven to start counting the number of demonstration medals M1 in the first hopper 7, and the number corresponding to the counted number is displayed. It is displayed on the display panel 11.

The estimated number of medals input by the player is equal to the number of demonstration medals M stored in the first hopper 7.
When the number of coins coincides with one, a predetermined number of payout medals M2 are paid out. In addition, when it comes off (when it does not match), the payout medal M2 inserted is forfeited. In this manner, a game is played in the present embodiment.

In the present embodiment, the number of payout medals M2 to be paid out is set as follows. In the present embodiment, the maximum number of demonstration medals M1 falling from the bucket 18 to the first hopper 7 is “999”.
Sheets ". In the present embodiment, one estimated medal number can be input for each payout medal M2 (for example, when “2” payout medals M2 are inserted, “156” is entered). And "235" can be input.) Here, the inputted estimated number of medals is displayed on the estimated number of medals display section 25 of the operation panel 2. Further, in the present embodiment, the same estimated medal number can be input up to a maximum of 99 per one estimated medal number (for example, when "30" payout medals M2 are inserted, one estimated medal number is inputted). "15
"30" can be voted (input) for the same estimated medal number of "6". The input number is displayed on a number display section 26 adjacent to the estimated medal number display section 25.

In the present embodiment, when the estimated number of medals input by the player matches all three digits of the number of medals in the first hopper 7, the payout medal M2 of “number × 200” is obtained. You will be paid out.
When the estimated number of medals inputted by the player does not match the number of medals in the first hopper 7 only in the lower one digit, and the lower one digit is the lower one digit before and after the actual number of medals, , A payout medal M2 of “number × 50” is paid out.

When the estimated number of medals input by the player matches the number of medals in the first hopper 7 with the last two digits, a payout medal M2 of “number × 30” is obtained.
Will be paid out. Also, when the estimated number of medals input by the player matches only the second last digit with the number of medals in the first hopper 7 and the last digit is the last digit before and after the actual number of medals. Contains the number of words x
The payout medal M2 of "10" is paid out. Further, when the estimated number of medals input by the player matches only the number of medals in the first hopper 7 with the first digit, the payout medal M2 of “number × 2” is paid out. It has become.

Next, the electrical configuration of the game machine will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG. The CPU 30 constituting the prize payout means, the hit determination means, the payout rate determination means, and the counter number displacement means is connected to a memory 31 for storing the progress of the game and the like and for storing various data.

The insertion confirmation switch 24 is connected. The insertion confirmation switch 24 outputs an ON signal to the CPU 30 when a predetermined payout medal M2 is inserted from the medal insertion slot 14. The numeric keypad 12 is connected to the CPU 30. The ten keys 12 are operated when the player inputs the estimated number of medals. The CPU 30 stores the estimated number of medals inputted by operating the ten keys 12 in the memory 31.
And the estimated number of medals is displayed on the number display section 13.

The CPU 30 is connected to a first counter 9 and a second counter 17. The CPU 30 drives each of the counters 9 and 17 to count the number of demonstration medals M1 stored in the first hopper 7 and the second hopper 16.

Further, the CPU 30 drives the second counter 17 for each game, and sets the preset medal M1 stored in the second hopper 16 in the memory 31 in advance. The number of demonstration medals M <b> 1 is transported to the bucket 18 via the transport pipe 21. The number of medals read from the memory 31 by the CPU 30 is programmed so as to be different for each game.

The hopper rotation motor 8 is connected to the CPU 30. When the first counter 9 counts the number of medals in the first hopper 7, the CPU 30 drives the hopper rotation motor 8 to The first hopper 7 is rotated. The CPU 30 is connected to the bucket rotating motor 20. After the demonstration medal M1 is conveyed from the second hopper 16 to the bucket 18, the CPU 30 drives the bucket rotating motor 20 to eject the demonstration medal M1 in the bucket 18, and the medal M1
Is dropped into the first hopper 7.

The display panel 11 is connected to the CPU 30. The CPU 30 displays the number of demonstration medals M1 counted by the first counter 9 on the display panel 11 in synchronization with the count timing of the first counter 9 in principle. Next, the CP
The operation of U30 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

First, in step 101, the number of medals to be dropped in the current game is read from the memory 31. In the next step 102, the second counter 17 of the second hopper 16 is driven, and the demonstration medals M1 corresponding to the number of medals read in step 101 are conveyed to the bucket 18. In the next step 103, the bucket rotating motor 20 is driven to rotate the bucket 18. That is, the demonstration medal M in the bucket 18
1 is dropped on the first hopper 7.

In the next step 104, it is determined whether or not the player has input the estimated number of medals based on the output signal from the numeric keypad 12. If the predetermined time has elapsed in step 105, the input of the estimated number of medals is closed. In the next step 106, it is determined whether or not all three digits of the number of medals read in step 101 (the number of medals in the first hopper) match the estimated number of medals input by the player. If it is determined that the estimated number of medals matches the number of read medals in all three digits, the process proceeds to step 107.

On the other hand, if all three digits do not match, the process proceeds to step 108, where the estimated number of medals input by the player is different only in the lower one digit of the number of read medals, and the lower one digit is It is determined whether the number is the number before or after the number of the number of read medals (for example, when the number of read medals is “358” and the estimated number of medals input by the player is “357” or “359”). . Here, if only the lower one digit does not match and the lower one digit is a preceding or succeeding digit, the process proceeds to step 107. On the other hand, if only the lower one digit does not match and the lower one digit is not a preceding or succeeding digit, the process proceeds to step 109.

In step 109, it is determined whether or not the estimated number of medals input by the player matches the last two digits of the number of medals read out (for example, if the number of medals read out is "358" and the player When the estimated number of medals input is “258”. Here, if they match, the process proceeds to step 107, and if they do not match, the process proceeds to step 110.

In step 110, it is determined whether or not the estimated number of medals input by the player matches only the second digit of the number of medals read out, and whether the last digit is the number before or after the number of medals read out. It is determined (for example, the number of read medals is “358”, and the estimated number of medals input by the player is “457”, “259”,
"557 sheets" etc.). Here, when it is determined that only the second digit of the number matches the first digit and the last digit is the number before and after the number of the number of read medals, step 107
On the other hand, if it is determined that the number matches only the second digit of the lower digit and that the lower digit is not the number before or after the number of the number of medals to be read, the process shifts to step 111.

In step 111, it is determined whether or not the estimated number of medals input by the player matches only the first digit of the number of medals read out (for example,
The number of read medals is “358”, and the estimated number of medals input by the player is “248”, “388”.
Sheets "," 138 sheets ", etc.). Here, when it is determined that they match, the process proceeds to step 107, and when it is determined that they do not match, the process proceeds to step 112.

In step 107, it is determined whether or not the payout rate exceeds a set payout rate when paying out medals M2 to a hit player (a player whose input medal number matches the read out medal number) after the game is over. I do. Here, the set payout rate (payout rate) will be described. Assuming that the accumulated number of medals inserted from the medal slot 14 is T1 and the accumulated number of medals paid out from the payout device 22 is T2, the actual payout rate (payout rate) is T2 / T1 × 100%. The set payout rate is a payout rate that can be arbitrarily set by a trader (or maker) who installs and operates the game machine of the present embodiment.

For example, it is assumed that the set payout rate is set to 80%. Then, it is assumed that the total number of medals inserted into the game machine is 2000 (T1) and the total number of paid medals is 1500 (T2). In this case, the actual payout rate is 75%. In this state, the number of medals to be paid out in this game is “20”.
If "0", (1500 + 200) / 2
000 sheets × 100% = 85%. In such a case, the set payout rate is exceeded, and step 11
Then, the process proceeds to step 3, and a predetermined number (three in the present embodiment) is thinned out from the number of medals read in step 101. Then, the number of medals thinned out in step 114 is stored as a new number of medals to be read. Then, the flow returns to step 106 again, and the subsequent processing is repeated.

In step 112, the first counter 9 is driven to start counting the demonstration medals M1 in the first hopper 7, and the count is linked with the discharging operation of the demonstration medals M1. To display on the display panel. At this time, exceeding the set payout rate, the bucket 18
When a predetermined number of medals has been thinned out from the number of medals ejected to the player (the number of medals read from the memory 31), a thinning-out display is performed for about one count for every ten counts, and finally the medal read out is started. The display on the counter 11 is performed so that the new read medal number is obtained by thinning out the predetermined number from the number. Then, after all the medals M1 in the first hopper 7 have been discharged, the process proceeds to step 115, in which the payout device 22 corresponding to the hit player is driven to pay out the payout medals M2 of the number based on the above-mentioned predetermined condition. It returns to step 101.

In the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained by configuring the game machine as described above. (1) When the number of demonstration medals M1 is counted, it is performed at a position visible to the player, and the counted number is displayed on the counter 11 in synchronization with the principle. It can be a game machine. Thus, the profitability of the game machine can be improved and an exciting game can be played.

(2) A plurality of coins can be input for the same estimated number of medals, and the number of medals to be paid out increases according to the number of inputs. This allows
As the medal collection rate (income) of game machines increases,
The player can play a more fun and more exciting game.

(3) In the case of a hit, a predetermined condition set in advance (when the estimated number of medals all matches the actual number of medals (the number of medals read out), “number × 100”, and only the last digit does not match. If the lower one digit is a preceding or succeeding digit, the number is “number × 50”, if the lower two digits are the same, “number × 30”, the lower two digits are the same, and the lower one is the same.
If the digit is the number before and after, "Number of mouths x 10", lower one
If only the digits match, the condition is "number x 2")
The payout medal M2 is paid out based on the payout ratio, so the payout rate (odds) is constant in any game. As described above, the game machine according to the present embodiment has a system that can be sufficiently realized as a game. Thereby, the player can also enjoy it sufficiently.

(4) When it is determined that the payout rate exceeds the set payout rate, a predetermined number (three) is thinned out from the read medal number even if the estimated medal number estimated by the player matches the read medal number. The estimated number of medals is no longer correct. This can prevent the payout medal M2 from being paid out beyond the set payout rate. As a result, the medal collection rate (profitability) of the game machine can be improved, and an exciting game can be played.

The present invention can also be configured as follows. (1) In the above-described embodiment, the falling object is embodied by the demonstration medal M1. However, the falling object may be embodied in place of a sphere (such as a pachinko ball or a synthetic resin ball).

(2) In the above-mentioned embodiment, the prize is embodied by the medal (medal for payout) M2, but may be embodied in place of a small ball, a card or the like as the prize. (3) In the above embodiment, the demonstration medal M1 as a falling object and the payout medal M2 as a premium are embodied using the same kind of medals, but may be embodied as different kinds of medals.

(4) The conditions for the number of payouts at the time of hitting may be changed as appropriate. (5) In the above embodiment, a plurality of slots can be input per one estimated medal number. However, a configuration may be made such that only one slot can be input per one estimated medal number.

(6) In the above embodiment, the medal M1 for demonstration and the medal M2 for payout are provided as separate transport paths.
You may comprise so that it may be conveyed by the same path. That is, the demonstration medal M1 and the payout medal M2 may be used together.

(7) The number of medals to be thinned out from the number of medals read out when the payout rate exceeds the set payout rate during a hit may be appropriately changed.
