However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below, but may be implemented in various forms, and only the present embodiments are intended to complete the disclosure of the present invention and to those skilled in the art. It is provided for complete information.

First, as an embodiment proposed to implement the present invention, a description will be made of a first embodiment having a one-screen two game format and a second embodiment having a two-screen two game format.

(First embodiment)

Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to Figure 1, the body of the one-screen two game device 100 is a prize storage 110, prize outlet 120, A game screen 140, B game screen 130, input button 150 It is configured to include a coin injection hole 160 and the PCB mounting portion 170.

A game and B game is not particularly limited and may be of various kinds, and A game may be, for example, a high-stop game, a foca game, a hula game, and the like, which are commonly known in the art, and a B game may be a reel game or a belt game. For example, it may be a game known as a slot machine game.

Hereinafter, referring to FIG. 2, the functions and operations of the components of the one-screen two game apparatus 100 will be described. 2 is a schematic block diagram of a one screen two game device.

One screen two game device 100 is the central processing unit 200, game program module 210, A game screen 230, B game screen 220, prize discharge motor 240, prize pool 250, It is configured to include a coin inlet 260 and the input button 270.

First, when the amount of coins required by the game to the coin inlet 260, the sensor (not shown) mounted on the coin inlet recognizes this, the central processing unit 200 through the game operation signal unit (not shown) Inform this information The sensor and the game operation signal unit are known to those skilled in the art, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted for convenience of description.

The CPU 200 receives a signal from the game operation signal unit (not shown), requests a game program from the game program module 210, reads the game program, starts the game, and displays the game screen on the A game screen 230. ) And B game screen 220 is configured to allow the user to see the screen and play the game, respectively. In addition, the central processing unit 200 is connected to the prize discharge motor 240 in order to deliver the prize by the user's selection when a predetermined condition is satisfied.

In addition, the center processing apparatus 200, first, when the game is started by administering a coin, it is configured to start only the A game. That is, the game B is executed only through the game A, and if the user wins the game A to obtain a score, the user can select one of three menus: the double game, the score acquisition, and the game B selection. Only when the user selects a game B, he is given a chance to start game B. The relationship between the A game and the B game does not proceed in the form of a simple bonus, but the score obtained in the B game may be downloaded back to the A game, while the score obtained in the A game may be transferred to the B game. In addition, if the combined score of A and B games exceeds a certain value, the computer displays a screen indicating whether to win a prize. If the user agrees to select a prize, the prize is acquired and if not, the score is obtained. Remains the same.

The game program module 210 is a module that records a program capable of executing game A and game B. The module is connected to the central processing unit 200 so that the central processing unit 200 as required by A, B. Provide a game program. In some cases, the game program module 210 and the central processing unit 200 may be integrated and manufactured on a single PCB substrate.

A game screen 230 and B game screen 220 is used to separate one screen, such as a conventional monitor A game screen and B game screen, each screen is controlled by the central processing unit (200). Of course, conventional interface devices (not shown) can be used for such control.

Prize discharge motor 240 is implemented in the form of a motor to discharge the prize stored in the prize storage 250 under the control of the central processing unit 200 when the user selects a prize as described above.

Hereinafter, a game operation of the one screen two game apparatus 100 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5.

First, the configuration of the input buttons 150 and 270 of the one-screen two game device 100 will be described in detail, taking the case where the A game is the high stop and the B game is the reel type or the strip type game. 3 is a diagram illustrating the types and functions of the input buttons 150 and 270 of the one-screen two game. In this case, the total number of buttons is eight. Hereinafter, the functions will be described.

The start / select button 278 performs a function of starting a game and a function of selecting a hand of a go-stop game. The left button 276 and the right button 277 have a selection function for moving to select a hand shown on the screen. The bet button 275 is a button for setting a score per one point of the high-stop game. For example, it may be selected to give 100 points per high stop. As a function control button of the B game, the start / stop button 271 is a button for controlling the start and stop of the B game. The score lowering button 272 is a button for moving the score of the game B to the score of the game A, for example, moves 1000 points each time. The prize discharge button 273 performs a function for discharging prizes using this button when the score is above a certain value, and the roll / coin button 274 selects a screen for viewing the rules of the game. Do this.

However, as described above, in the case of the input button 150 shown in FIG. 3, the case where the A game is a high stop and the B game is a roll type is described as an example. As the types of the A game and the B game are changed, It is obvious that the details of the button can be changed.

Hereinafter, the game progression of the one screen two game apparatus 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5.

First, when a game screen is displayed by injecting coins, the user presses the start / selection button 278 to advance the game A (S11). As described above, the B game cannot proceed on its own, and the B game can only be progressed by using the score if a score is obtained by winning the A game.

Next, by using the left button 276, the right button 277 and the betting button 275, and using a game program stored in the game program module, once a game A is finished, whether or not the user wins Therefore (S12), the obtained score is displayed. In this case, if the user does not win, only the game A must be performed, and the game cannot proceed to the game B (S13). On the other hand, if the user wins, it is possible to select one of the double game, to obtain the acquired score as it is, to play the B game (S14). If the user wants to play the B game, select to play the B game (S15) (when the double game or the selected score is obtained as it is, it will be described later).

If you select to play the game B (S15), the score obtained due to the victory of the game A is moved to the game B, it is possible to run the game B using this score. The game B is played using the start / stop button 271 and the score down button 272. In this case, the score moving to the game B may be implemented to be a certain score at a time. That is, for example, assuming that the score obtained through the A game is 5000 points, if the user selects to play the B game, it can move to the B game by 1000 points. And, depending on the user's wishes, the score may be shifted by 1000 points several times.

In addition, once the B game is in progress, the B game can be performed separately from the A game (S16). To explain this in more detail, game A and game B will continue until each point is exhausted. It is also possible for the score of game B to be added to game A and added to the score of game A. At this time, the score down button 272 may be used. And, if the user wins in the game A, it is possible to raise the score to the game B as described above. In the progress of such a game, while focusing mainly on the A game, it is also configured to proceed with the B game additionally, it will be able to induce more various interests.

Next, the central processing unit 200 determines whether the total score is a constant value (for example, 10,000 points) every time the scores of the A game and the B game change (S16). Therefore, when the value is more than the predetermined value, such a fact is detected and a message on whether to receive the prize is displayed on the screen (S17).

In the actual implementation, it is possible to divide the obtained scores by grades and give prizes accordingly. For example, more than 10000 points are a commodity, more than 15000 points are b commodity, and more than 20000 points are c commodity. And, it is natural that the game can be continued (S18) according to the remaining score after receiving the prize. On the other hand, in step S17, when the prize is not selected to receive the prize, the score can be maintained while continuing the game (S19).

On the other hand, in the step S12, a case in which the user selects to play a double game, obtaining a score will be described with reference to FIG.

If the user selects a double game, the user plays a double game (S14). "Double game" means a game that doubles this score when the user wins the game and obtains a score. If the game can select both with a probability of 1/2, it is particularly limited. All is possible without it. For example, a game in which scores are doubled if a user randomly shuffles the same number of cards in two series, presents one of them, and selects one of the two series cards. Thus, such a double game may continue as long as the user matches. When the double game stops, the game A is progressed (S31).

On the other hand, in the step S14, if you want to acquire the score as it is without playing the game continues to continue the A game. However, even in this case, if the game A is played again and wins, the process proceeds to step S12 as described above.

(Second embodiment)

Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Looking at the main differences between the second embodiment and the first embodiment, the first embodiment has a structure capable of implementing two games on one screen. Since the central processing unit can control the A game and the B game as a whole, the second embodiment can implement two games in two screens, so that the central processing unit can be used for the A game and the B game. Two games are provided, and a game program module is also provided separately.

The configuration of this second embodiment has an advantage in configuring two games into one game machine. That is, the characteristic configuration of the present embodiment can be implemented through the interface unit while employing the central processing unit, the screen, the game program module, etc. already developed for the two games. By taking such a configuration, there is an advantage that the implementation of the present embodiment is facilitated by using existing game devices. In addition, the interface unit may be implemented on any PCB of the A game central processing unit or the B game central processing unit, or may be implemented separately. However, it is also possible to apply the configuration taken in the first embodiment to a two screen two game device.

Referring to Figure 6, the body of the two-screen two game device 300 is a prize pool 310, prize outlet 320, A game screen 340, B game screen 330, input button 350, coin It is configured to include an injection hole 360 and a PCB mounting portion 370. As mentioned in the first embodiment, the A game and the B game are not particularly limited, and various kinds are possible.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 7, the functions and operations of the components of the two-screen two game device 300 will be described. 7 is a schematic block diagram of a two screen two game device 300.

The two-screen two game device 300 is classified into a part performing a function related to A game, a part performing a function related to B game, and a common function processing part such as an interface, and a part performing a function related to A game. A game central processing unit 430, A game program module 410 and A game screen 450, and the part that performs functions related to the B game B game central processing unit 440, B game It comprises a program module 420 and the B game screen 460, the common function processing portion interface unit 490, prize discharge motor 500, prize store 510, coin inlet 470 and input button 480.

As described above, the configuration for allowing the user to execute each of the A game and the B game is omitted for convenience of explanation, and the interface unit 490 will be mainly described below.

The interface unit 490 is connected to the A game central processing unit 430 to control the user to execute the A game, and is connected to the B game central processing unit 440 so that the user can execute the A game. To control. That is, when a coin is administered to the coin inlet 470, a sensor (not shown) mounted at the coin inlet recognizes this, and when this signal is transmitted to the interface unit 490, the interface unit 490 processes the A game centrally. Instruct device 430 to start a game. Thus, game A begins. Thereafter, when the user wins the game A, the game central processing unit 430 notifies the interface unit 490, and the interface unit 490 plays the user's double game, to obtain the score obtained as it is, B Present a screen that allows you to choose between playing the game. In response to this, when the user selects to play B game, this information is again notified to the interface unit 490, and the interface unit 490 notifies the B game central processing unit 440 of the instruction of the B game. Through this process, the interface unit 490 may be configured to simultaneously execute A game and B game. In this manner, a two-screen two game device capable of performing a function similar to the one-screen two game device can be implemented.

On the other hand, the game progress using the two-screen two game device 300 as described above is almost the same as the game progress using the one-screen two game device 100 described with reference to Figures 4 and 5 in order to avoid duplication Omit the description. This is because the second embodiment is similar to the first embodiment in that the hardware configuration is somewhat different, and the implementation is similar.

In the actual implementation of the present invention, it is preferable to employ a game that is relatively simple as compared to the A game in the case of the B game by allowing the B game to be performed using the score only when the A game is won. For example, if A game adopts a high-stop game, B game adopts a reel game (aka slot machine), and wins through a high-stop game to obtain a score, the game is raised to a reel game and a go-storm game. It may be effective to keep the reel game running at the same time as you continue to play. On the other hand, when a reel game is adopted as a B game, an electronic reel game and a mechanical reel game can be simultaneously adopted.

In addition, if the game B has some meandering and it is not suitable to produce a game device with only the game B, by using the idea of the present invention, the game B can be played using the score obtained by performing the game A. In addition, it can be configured to prevent the meandering that can be caused by only B games.

Various changes may be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Accordingly, the foregoing description of the embodiments according to the present invention will be provided for purposes of illustration only, and not for the purpose of limiting the invention as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

Through the above-described, the present invention can satisfy the needs of more diverse consumers through multiple games, by allowing two games to be executed at the same time by summing the points obtained through the implementation of the two games by paying a prize It has the effect of providing more thrilling multiplayer games.
