Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] 3. Detailed Description of the Invention (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for a game, and in particular to a method and apparatus for games, in which numbers are selected in advance and these numbers are arranged in a particular order. A method and apparatus for a game of predicting what will appear.

This patent application claims priority from a continuation-in-part of US patent application Ser. No. 06/287,903 filed on July 29, 1981.

<Prior Art> A variety of probability games for guessing numbers have been known for a long time, regardless of whether they are commercial or home-use games. The well-known ones are roulette,
keno, binga, wheel of chance, lottery,
There are slot machines, etc. These games give players the opportunity to pre-select winning combinations or winning numbers. For example, in the case of a lottery, a player selects a plurality of numbers, purchases a lottery ticket, and compares whether the numbers he or she selected match the winning numbers. Rather than competing, the contestants simply compare their chosen numbers to the winning numbers.

In the case of roulette, a player selects a number that corresponds to a particular payout, spins the roulette wheel, and the player has a certain probability of winning. In the case of roulette, the probability of each player winning is small, with very few players winning, and in some cases, no player winning at all. The same is true for keno, where the player chooses a number and compares the displayed winning number with the number he or she has chosen. In the case of Wheel of Chance, a wheel with numbers marked on it is rotated and it is determined whether the number displayed when the wheel stops matches a pre-selected number.

In the case of such a game, there are only two ways to win, and the probability of winning is small, so the level of excitement among the players is relatively low.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> In view of these points, the main object of the present invention is to provide a novel game method and device that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks.

A second object of the invention is to provide a game that gives players multiple chances to win.

A third object of the present invention is to provide a commercially applicable game that pays out multiple types of payouts to players and allows players to play two to ten games at a time.

A fourth object of the present invention is to provide an improved game that increases the entertainment value of the game by providing a large number of winning patterns.

A sixth object of the present invention is to provide a game that can be played by one or more players.

A seventh object of the present invention is to provide a game that has a simple competition method and is highly entertaining.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The main content of the present invention is to guess numbers, and the above-mentioned and other objects of the present invention will become clear from the following description. Dew. In the following description, the game based on the present invention is described as being played by a single player, but it may also be played by multiple players or by multiple teams. Please understand that there are

A novel feature of the invention is that even if a player inserts a single coin, there is more than one way to win. That is,
Two or more generally identical selection means individually provide multiple ways to win, and provide 12 combinations of multiple ways to win.
This can increase interest in the game. To further increase interest, players are allowed to simultaneously compete in multiple games at once.

Hit, the contestant, by inserting an additional coin,
Additional selections can be made. Each selection action may be an individual game or a part of a game that is a collection of multiple games. In this way, the interest in the game can be further increased by increasing the probability of winning.

In the following description, the basic concept of the game will first be explained. However, this concept can be applied to mechanical or electronic structures of the automatic slot machine type. Further, in the following description, it will be explained that only numbers are used in the game competition, but it goes without saying that letters, symbols, colors, designs, etc. can be used instead of numbers. Therefore, even when the word ``number'' is used below, it should be understood that it means not only numbers, but also colors, letters, symbols, designs, or a combination of these as described above. sea bream. Furthermore, the winning number means the number displayed when the selection means stops, and the selection means should be understood to mean a reel, wheel, ball, etc. that has five or more stopping positions. Further, the means for selecting in advance may be a method for automatically selecting or a method for manually selecting.

Further, in the following description, it is assumed that 1 to 5 numbers are selected in advance and five selection means each having 20 stop positions are used, but this is an embodiment of the present invention. However, any number of numbers can be selected in advance and the selection means with any number of stopping positions can be used. In fact, in one embodiment, seven selection means are used, preselecting numbers from 1 to 7 and each having 254 stop positions.

X used herein represents an integer of 1 or more,
The number of numbers that can be selected in advance is equal to the number of stopping positions of a selection means (such as one reel or wheel). Therefore, X represents the number of numbers that can be selected in advance and the number of stop positions of each selection means. Y is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and represents the number of numbers that can be selected at once in one game, that is, the number of selection means. Therefore, Y represents the number of numbers that can be selected at one time and the number of selection means.

The simplest form of this game will be explained for the case where there is only one player. Contestants must choose from 1 to 20 numbers (X).
Select 5 numbers (Y). Next, 5 selection means (Y), for example 5 wheels, with 20 stop positions (X>) are rotated.

Selected numbers 1 to 5 may appear on any of these five wheels. This game will be explained in more detail with the following example. These examples are included merely for convenience of explanation and are not intended to limit the invention. In this specification, the displayed numbers refer to the numbers shown at the stop position of the selection means consisting of wheels, reels, balls, etc.

Example 1: A contestant chooses 3 from among 20 numbers from 1 to 20.
6.9. Select 12 and 15 and move wheels A, B, C,
Suppose that D and E are rotated and the following numbers are displayed.

Wheel ABCDE Displayed number 74121120 In this case, since the displayed number on wheel C is 12, it means that you have won by one.

Second Example: The player may select only one number (out of X selectable numbers) or between one and five numbers. In this case, it is assumed that the contestant selects only the number 7 and the following numbers are displayed.

Wheel ABCDE Displayed number 5172019 Therefore, the contestant won one for wheel C.

Third Example: A player can select any number up to 5 from among X numbers. In this case, it is assumed that the contestant selects three numbers, 3.12 and 15, and the following numbers are displayed.

Wheel A B C'D E Displayed number 42121715 In this case, since the number displayed on wheel C is 12 and the number displayed on wheel E is 15, the contestant has won two points.

Fourth Example The above examples are just a few of the various aspects of the game related to the present invention. To make the game more interesting,
You can earn bonus points by guessing the order in which the numbers appear on each wheel. For example, suppose that a contestant selects 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 from 20 selectable numbers, and the following numbers are displayed.

Wheel 8 BCDE Display number 4661015 In this case, the number displayed on wheel B is 6 and the number displayed on wheel E is 15, so it means that you have won 3 places, and the number 6 on wheel B and the number 6 on wheel E are displayed. Since you were able to guess the displayed number 15 along with its appearance position, you can also get bonus points. Also, bonus points can be obtained by displaying numbers 6 on both wheels B and C.

Fifth Example: Suppose that a player selects the same five numbers, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15, and the displayed numbers on wheels 8 to E are rarely as follows.

Wheel ABCDE Number displayed 15 12 6 1110 The number displayed on wheel A is 15, the number displayed on wheel B is 12, and the number displayed on wheel C is 6, so the contestant has won three points, but the contestant has won three points. Bonus points cannot be obtained because the appearance position of the selected number does not correspond to the position of the selected number. If you hit the displayed number G (!) in the following arrangement or order, you can receive 1 bonus point for all.

1st (Wheel A)-3 2nd (Wheel B)-6 3rd (Wheel C)-9 4th (Wheel D>-12 5th (Wheel E) -15 6th example Additionally, each wheel is given the following points:

a) Wheel C - 3 points Wheel C - 3 points Wheel C - 3 points Wheel C - 3 points Wheel C - 3 points b) If a selected number is displayed on more than one wheel, ( For each coin inserted, you will also receive bonus points.

2 wheels - 5 points 3 (solid wheel - 7 to 25 points 4 wheels - 50 to 150 points 5 wheels - 5,000 to 25,000 points C) Furthermore, the selected number is selected. If the coins appear on the corresponding wheel in the order in which they are placed, you will receive the following bonus points (for each coin inserted).

2 wheels - 5 points 3 wheels - 30 to 50 points 4 wheels - 500 to 1,000 points 5 wheels - 250,000 points Therefore, the game related to the present invention can be used in the following cases. 1 point will be awarded.

Normal points will be awarded if you guess the number A4.

B. Bonus points are awarded if the same winning number appears on two or more wheels simultaneously.

C9 If the selected number is displayed on the selected l1lfi, that is, the first selected number is displayed on wheel △, the second selected number is displayed on wheel B, and the third ) The double-selected number is displayed on wheel C, the fourth selected number is displayed on wheel D, the fifth selected number is displayed on wheel E, and so on. Bonus points will also be given if they appear.

Seventh Example Next, we will further explain the game M1 related to the present invention, in which one player competes with a coin-operated machine in a commercial casino.

1) A slot machine with five reels numbered from 1 to 20 is placed in front of the player. Insert one coin for each number the contestant chooses. To select the number 3 - 1 coin To select the numbers 3 and 6 - 2 coins To select the numbers 3.6 and 9 - 3 coins Numbers 3, 6, 9 and 1
If you select 2 - 4 coins If you select numbers 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 - insert 5 coins.

Eighth Example In the eighth example, assume that the player selects two numbers, 3 and 6, and inserts two coins. Next, suppose you pull the lever, rotate the reels, then the reels stop and you get the next number displayed.

Reels ABCDE Numbers Displayed 36”1186 Therefore, the player wins 2 (see Example 6 for how to calculate points) and receives the payout as shown below.

Normal score when the number displayed on reel A is 3
- 1 point Normal score when the displayed number on reel B is 6
- Normal score when the number displayed on 2-point reel E is 6.
- 5 points Bonus points due to the number 6 being displayed in the first and second positions (reels A and B) (see 6th example)
-5 points Bonus points due to the numbers in the first and second selection positions, i.e. 3 and 6, being displayed on the first and second reels (reels A and B) (see 6th example C) -5 points Total score -18 points or 18 coins 9th example The case of using the coin-operated machine of the 6th example will be further explained.

The contestant selects only one number, 3, and inserts one coin.

Suppose that the following numbers are displayed on the rotating reels.

Re-Rul ABCDE Display number? 361186 Therefore, the contestant will receive the following points:

Regular points by guessing the numbers on the reels
- 1 point Bonus points due to the number 3 appearing on two reels (A and B) 1 5 points Bonus points due to appearance of numbers - 0 points Total 19 points - 10 points or 10 coins 10th EXAMPLE A case in which the same machine as that used in the sixth to ninth examples is used and the payout rate given in the sixth example is used will be further explained. Contestant or 5 numbers, 3.
6.9. Select 12 and 15 and insert 5 coins. Pull the lever and rotate the wheel. Let's say the following number is 17 on the wheel.

Reel ABCDE Displayed numbers 3391211 a) Normal score according to winning numbers 3 on reel A = 1 point 3 on reel B = 9 on 2 point reel C - 12 on 3 point reel D - 4 points b) Bonus Points / I / 3 on A or B - 5 points C) Bonus points according to the order of appearance of numbers - 3 on reel A 9 on reel C 12 on reel D = 30 points Total score 45 points 11th example Of course, if a contestant is unable to guess the numbers on all the wheels, or conversely, he or she can guess the numbers on all the wheels, then the contestant is chewed. If you can guess the numbers that appear on all wheels △, B, C1D, and E and the order in which they appear, you win a "jackpot." This is the case, for example, when the selected number is 3.6.9.12.15 and the following number display is obtained.

1 Norm ABCDE display change 3
691215 Therefore, the payout is a) Wheel A = 1 point Wheel B = 2 points Wheel C = 3 points Wheel D = 4 points Wheel E = 5 points Total 15 points b) M6 One number is displayed on two or more wheels 10 bonus points for being able to say all the numbers and the order in which they appear - 250,000 points Total - 250,015 points or 250,0 points
15 coins The game related to the present invention can be used as a game for home enthusiasts, but it can also be used commercially as a slot machine. Iquilis Patent No. 881.803, 19

The only part of the machine from thrower 1 that is not listed in this catalog is the keyboard (keyboard 60 in Figure 6).
), which consists of standard parts manufactured by the former 1ler Dial corp, located in California, USA.

The circuit board containing the game program as described herein was designed by the applicant, and is provided to Mr. Richard Frltz, resident of New York, USA, at the request of the applicant. It is manufactured to order by.

The invention, implemented as a Thrower 1~ machine, consists of: (1) a remote station from which the reels are actuated by the contestant; and (2) a keyboard (part of the programmed keyboard) with numbers 1 to X. a selection station for selecting Y numbers or less; (3) a coin insertion device for accepting Y (digits) or less coins; and (4) 1 to 1.

<Embodiments> Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1, a betting station 10 is set up, and a plurality of players or one player can place a bet in a desired fifth place.
can be done. Bette's mother has some kind of record 11
will be left as. This record may consist of a piece of paper, data stored in a computer, etc. that can be presented as evidence when a contestant wins.

Once all bets on a particular game have been completed,
Betting station 10 reports the total bet amount to computer 12 and the game can begin. When playing this game, a random selector 14 is activated to display a plurality of winning positions or winning numbers.

This random selector 14 causes the plurality of indicators to select one of the plurality of positions.

While this game is in progress, the random selector 14
The operation is displayed on the display device 15.

As will be described later, the display device 15 may be one that allows the rotation of the wheel to be viewed directly, or may be another device that projects an image onto a screen. The purpose of the display device 15 is to display the selection process to each contestant. This is, in fact, an interesting aspect of the game, as each player watches this random selection process, hoping that the number he or she selects will score high and reach 1q. When the selection is made by the random selector 14, the result is sent to the computer 12, and the computer 12 internally stores information such as the total bet amount, the possible winning numbers, the position, etc., and the score for each position. are doing. Based on this information, the computer determines the winning numbers and the number of points corresponding to each winning number.

These results are displayed on the display device 16, and this information is supplied to the payout station 1B.

The details of each bet made at the betting station 10 are stored in a record 11. These records 11
The contents of are supplied to a payout station 18, the correspondence between each bet and a winning position is determined, and if the record 11 corresponds to a winning position, a payout 19 is paid out to the player.

Next, referring to FIG. 2, the flow of a particular game will be described. In FIG. 2, there are a plurality of players 20, but the number of players may be arbitrary, and if there is a limit, it is not due to the structure of the game, but, for example, due to the space near the game device. It is limited by size.

Each player 20 makes a bet as described above, and the total amount of this bet]~ forms a pot 21. The purpose of this game is to distribute the contents of this pot in a certain proportion to the winners from a particular division of players. Needless to say, there may be cases in which there is no winner, in which case the pot is carried over to the next game; It will be done.

In distributing the contents of pot 21, random selector 14 is used. As mentioned above with respect to Figure 1,
Random selector 14 selects a plurality of numbers using specific indicators. To simplify the explanation, the indicators shown in FIG. 2 are numbered 1-70.

The key point of the game of the invention lies in the relationship between the indicators, denoted by 22. First indicator 22
is given the value 2 and the next indicator is given the next value as given as a geometric series. Therefore, the value of the second indicator is set to 4, the value of the third indicator is set to 8, and finally the seventh indicator has a value of 128.

It should be understood that the value given to the indicator 22 is merely relative and does not directly correspond to a score or the like. Rather, the sum of the values of all indicators 22 corresponds to the entire pot 21.
54, and according to the value of indicator 22,
Proportionate the contents of the pot to each winner. Therefore, since the amount of the pot per unit value is given as 1/254 of it, if the player wins (is the indicator 2
The contestant's 1d points will be given as the quotient of the relative value of 2 and the unit value.

This could be a case where players with 2A or more bet on the same number and two or more winners get a certain point. In such a case, the points for a particular number will be divided among the players who placed bets on this number.

In some embodiments of the game according to the invention, in order to be able to identify the individual indicators 22, a series of letters, e.g.
They are labeled with the letters U, M, B, E, R and S. This is preferred in that all the letters are different from each other and have meanings related to the word or game formed by these letters. Therefore, this word is used for the identification of the indicator and can also be the name of the game.

The word NUMBER3 consists of seven letters, so the game shown in Figure 2 can use this word.

If you want to reduce the number of indicators, for example MO
You can use the word NEY. Again, there are no identical letters, and words made up of these letters have meanings related to the game. MONEY consists of 5 characters, so the indicator has 2.4.8.16
and 32 values will be given. The factors of the geometric series can be made different to widen the spread of scores. For example, if 3 is used as this factor, the value of the indicator will be 2.6.18.36.72. In this way, by using the features of the present invention, it is possible to provide great diversity in the structure of the game.

FIG. 3 shows one embodiment of a random selector that can be used in the game of the present invention. The random selector consists of a roulette wheel 32 having a bowl-shaped portion 30 for receiving a ball 31. Bowl-shaped part 3
A wheel 32 is rotatably supported around a spindle 34 located at the center of the vehicle. A plurality of positions 35 are defined on the outer periphery of the wheel 32 and can receive holes 31 as indicators. The structure is generally similar to a conventional roulette wheel and requires no further explanation to those skilled in the art.

Whereas in the case of a roulette wheel a relatively small number of positions are defined and only one pole is used, in the case of the game of the invention the rotating wheel 32
It has a number of positions equal to the sum of the values of the indicators. Therefore, if seven indicators are used, with a geometric series factor of 2 and an initial value of 2, 254 positions will be defined on the outer periphery of the wheel 32. Become.

Games according to the invention may take many forms. For example, in FIGS. 1 to 3, it is possible to manually compete using the random selector shown in FIG. The seven poles 31 are labeled with the letters N, U, M, B, E, R, and S, and those who operate the wheel 32 visually determine the winning numbers and determine the score for each number. I can do it. This information can be fed into a simple counting machine to perform the necessary calculations and display the winning numbers and each player's score.

It is also possible to mechanize the entire game. Instead of using a physical wheel as shown in FIG. 3, the display 15 could be an electronically generated rotating pattern display.

The ball is also electronically formed.1. It can be shown to move in addition to the rotating pattern during the process of determining the result.

Another form of game according to the invention is shown in FIG. 4, which uses equipment played by individuals.

The device shown in FIG. 4 is a random actuator with a small wheel, which may be similar to that shown in FIG. This is necessary if the rector 14 is used.

When playing this game, the contestant first places a coin in slot 4.
Insert it within 0 and press Hotan 41 at the betting station.
Press one of the buttons to turn Vera 1 to (1).

The contents of the bet are memorized according to another command. When the start button 42 is pressed, the rotating member starts rotating, and one ball is fed toward the rotating member. Although this embodiment uses one ball, it is also possible to use a plurality of balls, and it is also possible for all the balls to stop on the same number.

In a variation of the device according to the invention shown in FIG. 4, a player can use multiple balls per game during a game as described above. The player can, for example, insert up to seven coins and make seven bets by pressing button 4 on the betting station. After all bets have been placed, start button 42
Press and play the game.

When all the indicators or balls stop at certain positions, the result is displayed on the display board 44 and the required payout is paid out from the payout section 45.

The first ball used in the apparatus shown in FIG. 4 is the ball with the highest value, and each time a coin is added, the ball with the next highest value is used. This situation is shown in Table 1. If only one ball is used and there are 254 positions, the odds of winning are 254 to 1. As the number of balls increases,
The probability of winning increases. Therefore, a high score is given when the probability of winning is the smallest, and a small score is given when the probability of winning is large. Any number (1-7) of balls can be used.

(Leaving space below) Table 1 Payout table One ball: 254 points - total score Two balls to select only one number: 1st ball 170 points 2nd ball

In this embodiment, a display device 50 for a random selector is used. As in the previous embodiments, the display device 50 may generate an optically projected image of the wheel or may be imaged electronically. This game has symbols g51a to 51C.
It is performed by seven competitors using each of the seven devices indicated by I. Each device 51 has a plurality of buttons 52, similar to button 41 of FIG. 4, for entering the numbers on which a bet is placed. By operating the handle 54, the next bet can be made.

In the case of this game, each of the devices 51a to 51CJ is connected to one of the indicators so that when a player using a particular device wins, the degree of winning is a predetermined degree. According to this arrangement, each device can be structured such that coins of large or small denominations can be used depending on the relative value of the indicator associated with the corresponding device. Each contestant can win in any of the three ways shown in the chart of FIG.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, each player records the number bet by inserting a coin, selecting a number, and pulling the handle 54 until given the signal to stop. I can continue. Once the bet is complete,
The random selector starts operating and all the competitors turn on the display device 50. Once all selection actions have been displayed, the result of the game is calculated and displayed on the tally board 55. The amount of the dividend is determined according to the chart in FIG.

Needless to say, the game of the present invention can be implemented with various modifications.

The device shown in FIG. 5 can be used with the wheel shown in FIG. 3 as a small scale game. Also,
The same domain may be used as an input means in the general configuration shown in FIG. 2, allowing each competitor to use a different device, and each device communicating with the computer 12 of FIG. can be used to determine the score.

In the various forms of games according to the present invention as described above, if any player wins, the total amount of the pot is paid out to the winner. If no one wins, the pot carries over to the next game. This can be done in the case of games for personal enjoyment, where you can bet on all positions, but
When used in commercial establishments and trying to increase profits, it is advisable for the operator to collect a certain percentage of the amount paid out. Therefore, the player can receive a dividend that has been reduced by, for example, 10% by the manager.

Before explaining the structure that allows managers to take a certain percentage of the dividend, we will change the factors as follows to simplify the calculations required. .

The number of indicators is 7 to 5, the numbers attached to the indicators are 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, the number of numbers that can be displayed on each indicator is 20, and the number can be selected in advance from among the 20 numbers. The possible number change is 5.

If you insert one coin and select one number, the probability of winning is as follows.

Probability of getting 2 points 1/20 + Probability of getting 3 points 1/20 + Probability of getting 1q points 4 jq 1/20 + (Probability of getting q points 5 1/20 + Probability of getting 6 points 1/20 For each game Probability of winning at ]/20, so
The dividend rate is 20÷20x100=100%, and the acquisition percentage of the manager is 0%.

If the manager wants to obtain 25%, it is recommended to change the values of each indicator as follows.

The chance of getting 1 point is 1/20 + the chance of getting 2 points is 1/20 + the chance of getting 3 points is 1/20 + the chance of getting 4 points is 1/20 The chance of getting 10 points and 5 points is 1. /20 Therefore, 15÷
The manager gets 2596 with a dividend of 20X100=75%.

Based on this principle, in order to increase the payout to the players, it is preferable to add types of winning cases depending on specific combinations or selection results according to a specific order.

FIG. 6 shows an embodiment as a slot machine 56, which has an arm 57 for rotating five reels having a stop position 58 as indicated by display means 59. A selector keyboard 60 having buttons numbered from 1 to 20 is used to pre-select the numbers by the 5A or smaller contestants. Keypaws 1-00 can have any number of keys, but must be equal to the number of numbers displayed on each reel. For clarity of explanation, consider the case where each tool displays 20 numbers.

One to five numbers may be preselected by the player, but any number of numbers may be selected, the upper limit being given by the number of indicators. An appropriate number of coins is inserted through a coin insertion slot 61, and by operating a keyboard 60, a number from 1 to 5 is selected according to the number of coins inserted. For example, if 4 numbers are selected, if 64 coins are not inserted into the coin slot 61 or the arm 57 is pulled, the reels will rotate and these 1 numbers will be displayed on the display sections 59a to 5.
It stops with the number displayed at the position indicated by 9e. A score table 62 is posted in a conspicuous place on the device 56, and the size of points or bonus points given according to different winning patterns is displayed. This score table 62 will be described in detail later with reference to FIG.
