Description

Game device

The present invention relates to a gaming device, in particular a gaming device that plays a game for obtaining prizes.

Conventionally, there is a crane game device as a game device for playing a game for obtaining prizes. The crane game device includes a prize stand for placing prizes; Openings for falling prizes; And a crane arm for moving the prize from the prize stand to the opening (for example, Patent Document 1). This crane arm has a function of holding a prize or dropping it into the opening, and if the position of the opening is fixed, the operation becomes monotonous. Accordingly, attempts have been made to increase the gameability (not to get tired of the player) by configuring the arrangement of the prize stand so as to be changeable and changing the position or shape of the opening (for example, Patent Document 2).

The crane game device described in Patent Document 2 is provided with a prize stand, an opening, and a crane arm, and is configured to change the height or inclination of the prize stand. Accordingly, the crane game device manager can freely change the position or shape of the opening, and accordingly the player can improve the gameability by manipulating the crane arm. However, there is a limit to adjusting the height or inclination of the prize stand, making it difficult to maintain high gameability. In addition, in the crane game device, the movable area of the crane arm extends over most of the space in the case. Therefore, it is difficult to efficiently use the space in the case in such a crane game device.

In addition, in order to efficiently utilize the space in the case, there is a prize-obtaining game device without a crane arm (for example, Patent Document 3). Such a prize-obtaining game device includes a hook member provided on an opening; Prizes hung with strings on these hook members; And cutting means for cutting the string to drop the premium into the opening. There is room for improvement in such a prize-obtaining game device since the operation of the cutting means is as monotonous as that of the crane arm, so as not to tire the player.

The case 2 has an upper body 21 forming a cylindrical shape; And a main body bottom 22 forming a bottomed cylindrical shape, and has a function of installing or storing each member of the game device 1. The upper body 21 has a transparent cylindrical side wall 211; And an upper wall surface 212 for blocking the upper opening thereof, and a premium is placed therein. That is, the space created by the upper portion of the main body 21 is a space (game space) in which a game for obtaining prizes is played. The side wall 211 may be substantially transparent (colorless transparent, colored transparent, translucent) so that the player can visually recognize the game space. In addition, a window portion (door) configured to be opened and closed may be provided on the side wall surface 211. As a result, the administrator of the game device 1 may access the game space from the window portion to facilitate replenishment or maintenance of prizes. Further, the case 2 is formed of a hard resin material, a metal material, a ceramic material, or the like.

In the upper portion of the upper body 21, there is provided an exhibition stand 213 composed of two stages of shelves, which are provided erected from the inner side of the side wall 211. In the exhibition stand 213, prizes for display are displayed. Accordingly, the prizes obtainable to the player can be advertised. Also, due to the presence of such an exhibition stand 213, the manager of the game device 1 can easily replenish the prize when the prize is obtained. Since the game device 1 of this embodiment is not provided with a crane arm, the range in which the arrangement and shape of the exhibition stand 213 can be devised is wider than that of a conventional crane game device. For example, it is also possible to configure the exhibition stand 213 to automatically replenish the next prize when the prize is obtained. In this way, the game device 1 of the present embodiment can efficiently utilize the game space.

In addition, a band-shaped cover member 23 is provided at the upper end of the side circumferential wall surface 211 and can be used as a signage. The posts 24 are provided on the left and right sides of the upper body 21, and the posts 24 connect the upper body 21 and the lower body 22. On the other hand, the pillar 24 can also be used as a signage.

The lower portion of the main body 22 has an internal space that communicates with the game space through the regulation section 4 to be described later. This internal space is used to temporarily place the dropped prize or to store the storage unit 8 or the control unit 9, which will be described later. The premium discharging box 25 is provided on the front surface of the lower body 22, and a substantially rectangular premium discharging outlet 251 communicating with the inner space of the lower body 22 is provided on the front surface of the premium discharging box 25. . Accordingly, the dropped prize can be taken out from the prize outlet 251. In addition, although not shown in the lower part of the main body 22 or the prize discharging box 25, a coin plate, a shield plate for preventing access to the game space from the prize dispensing hole 251 is provided. An operation unit 3 is provided on the top of the premium discharging box 25.

(Operation department)

The operation unit 3 is composed of a circular push button 31 provided on the top of the prize discharge box 25. The operation unit 3 has a function of receiving input information of the player, and the player issues various commands for obtaining prizes to the operation unit 3. Specifically, the player presses the push button 31 to stop the operation of the operation instruction unit 6 to be described later at a desired timing. In this embodiment, the number of push buttons 31 is one. Accordingly, players of various age groups (infants, elderly people, etc.) can easily operate the game device 1. Meanwhile, the number of push buttons 31 is not particularly limited and may be two or more. In addition, the operation unit 3 may include a stick for operation depending on the configuration of the game device 1 (for example, a configuration with a crane arm).

(Regulation)

The regulation part 4 is provided between the upper body 21 and the lower body 22 of the case 2 along their inner peripheral surfaces. The regulation part 4 is comprised of a donut-shaped frame body, and defines the opening 10 of a circular shape (circular plane). The opening 10 is configured such that the game space of the upper body 21 communicates with the inner space of the lower body 22. Meanwhile, the vicinity of the opening 10 can also be used as a game space. The number, size, and shape of the openings 10 are not particularly limited. Specifically, the number of openings 10 may be two or more. Further, the opening 10 may be a closed shape in plan view, and may be, for example, an elliptical shape, a polygonal shape, a rectangular shape, or a curved shape (for example, a shape defined by a designed curve). In addition, when the opening 10 is circular, the diameter is preferably 40 to 120 cm, more preferably 50 to 100 cm. In addition, the shape of the defining portion 4 is not particularly limited as long as it can define the opening 10 having a desired shape. The regulation part 4 may be formed of a hard resin material, a metal material, a ceramic material, etc., and the case 2 (the lower body 22) and the regulation part 4 are integrally formed to independently define the regulation part ( 4) There is no need to provide. In this case, the case 2 (the lower portion 22 of the main body) functions as the prescribed portion 4.

In addition, a connection portion 41 is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the regulation portion 4, and the connection portion 41 has a function of connecting the premium support portion 5, which will be described later. The connection part 41 is provided standing on the inner circumferential surface of the regulation part 4, and a pair of side plate parts 411 for holding and holding one end (base end) of the premium support part 5 rotatably therebetween; And an engaging portion (not shown) that engages (fits) the premium support portion 5 in a predetermined state (see FIG. 3). In this way, the regulation part 4 has a function of defining the opening 10 and a function of supporting the premium support part 5.

(Gift support)

The premium support section 5 is composed of a plurality of (16 in this embodiment) arm members 51 that support the premium. Each arm member 51 forms an elongate shape and has the same length. On the other hand, the number of the arm members 51 is not particularly limited, and may be odd or even, and may be more than 16 or at least. Further, the lengths of the arm members 51 may be different from each other. Since the premium support part 5 has the arm members 51 of different lengths, the type of the method of placing the prize (the placement method) can be increased, and the gameability can be improved. The premium support 5 can be formed of a hard resin material, a metal material, a ceramic material, or the like.

As shown in Fig. 3 (a), the proximal end of the arm member 51 is connected to the connecting portion 41 of the defining portion 4, and the arm member 51 is opened from the proximal end to the distal end of the opening 10. It is provided along the plane direction. In other words, the arm member 51 is provided at the proximal portion 4 at its base end, and extends in the radial direction of the opening 10. As a result, the arm member 51 is in a state capable of supporting the premium (first state). On the other hand, the base end of the arm member 51 is provided with a concave portion (not shown) to fit with the engaging portion of the connecting portion 41, and the engaging portion and the concave portion are fitted so that the arm member 51 is the first You can keep it.

When the fitting (engaging) of the engaging portion of the connecting portion 41 is released in the first state, the arm member 51 rotates downward with its base portion as a supporting point, and vertically as shown in Fig. 3 (b). It becomes a state along the direction (second state). In Fig. 3 (b), the three arm members 51 are in the second state. In this way, the arm member 51 is configured to be displaceable from the first state to the second state. The displacement may be made for each arm member 51, or may be made simultaneously in a plurality of arm members 51 (for example, three adjacent arm members 51). In the former case, the arm members 51 are displaced one by one, so that the player can enjoy the process of obtaining the prize for a long time. On the other hand, in the latter case, since the plurality of arm members 51 are displaced at once, it is possible for the player to more easily acquire the prize, that is, to lower the difficulty of the game.

In addition, the outer diameter (width and / or thickness) of the arm member 51 is gradually decreasing from its base to the tip. Accordingly, the gap between the arm members 51 is enlarged, and it is easy to give the player an image in which the prize falls, so that the player can increase the chance to play on the game device 1. In addition, since the contact area between the tip of the arm member 51 and the premium is reduced, the support of the premium may be relatively unstable. As a result, when the arm member 51 is displaced from the first state to the second state, the prize becomes easy to move, and furthermore, the likelihood of the prize moving unexpectedly or the greater the likelihood of moving largely is increased, which can entertain the player. , You can also visually give the player an image to win the prize. Further, an anti-slip member may be provided on the upper surface of the distal end of the arm member 51. Such an anti-slip member can suppress or prevent an unintentional fall of a prize when one small prize is placed on the tip of each arm member 51, for example, or can reliably support the prize.

In addition, each arm member 51 is continuously provided along a circumferential direction of the opening 10 at a predetermined distance from each other (to form an equilateral triangle of the isosceles triangles adjacent to each other when viewed in a plan view). Accordingly, in the first state, the arm members 51 face each other toward the center of the opening 10. In addition, the arm member 51 defines a small circular opening in the center of the opening 10 when viewed in a plan view, and at the same time introduces 16 fan-shaped (almost isosceles triangular) shapes between the arm members 51. Is prescribed. Thus, the premium support 5 is provided to divide the opening 10 into a plurality of introduction ports. That is, the premium support portion 5 is provided not to cover the entire opening 10, particularly not to block the central portion of the opening 10. By placing the prize on the prize support portion 5 having such a configuration, it is easy to give the player a falling image of the prize, which increases the chance for the player to play on the game device 1. In addition, due to the introduction of the opening in the center of the opening 10, the support of the prize may be relatively unstable. As a result, when the arm member 51 is displaced from the first state to the second state, the prize becomes easy to move, and furthermore, the likelihood of the prize moving unexpectedly or the likelihood of large movement as a shake increases, which can entertain the player. , You can also visually give the player an image to win the prize. In addition, because the introduction opening is formed in the center of the opening 10, it is easy for the manager to place the prize, and the pattern formation of the arm member 51 as shown in FIG. (51) can be easily displaced from the first state to the second state in advance.

In this embodiment, one premium (bear doll) is provided so as to be supported at the distal end side of each arm member 51, so as to block the center (introduction port) of the opening 10 (FIG. 1), but the shape and size of the premium , Placement and placement methods are not particularly limited. For example, a small premium may be installed on each arm member 51, or a plurality of medium-sized premiums may be placed over about three to five arm members 51, respectively, of the same size as the diameter of the opening 10. Only one large prize having a width (for example, 40-50 cm width) may be placed on the arm member 51. Further, the premium may be hung on each arm member 51 with a string or the like. In this way, the manager of the game device 1 may employ various wit methods. Accordingly, the player can be continuously entertained. Meanwhile, a combination of these wit methods may be employed.

Here, as shown in Fig. 1, when the prize is supported by a plurality of arm members 51, even if one arm member 51 is displaced to the second state, the remaining arm members 51 in the first state It is impossible to drop a prize because it is supported by. Specifically, when one arm member 51 is displaced to the second state, the center of gravity of the premium may be moved, but it may or may not move. Therefore, the player displaces a plurality of arm members 51, and in order to drop the prize in the shortest time (minimum number of times) (shortest route), the player can be given an incentive to devise the arm member 51 to be displaced. have. For example, depending on the shape, size, arrangement, etc. of the prize, it may be the shortest route to displace neighboring arm members 51 in order, or the shortest route may be to displace the opposing arm members 51. It may be. As described above, in the game device 1 of the present embodiment, when the player displaces the arm member 51 from the first state to the second state while considering the size or shape of the prize, the exposed area when the opening 10 is viewed in a plane ( The size of the opening 10) is changed. Accordingly, the player can subjectively change the size of the opening 10 compared to a conventional game device in which the administrator has changed the arrangement or size of the opening. As a result, the player can continue to be entertained.

Furthermore, there may be cases where the shortest route is unclear. Specifically, since the prize support portion 5 includes a plurality of arm members 51, it appears that the prize is supported depending on the prize placement method, but the arm member 51 does not actually support the prize (contacting the premium) However, it may include) that the prize is rarely weighted. Even if the arm member 51 is displaced from the first state to the second state, the center of gravity of the premium does not move or hardly moves. In this way, it is possible to make it unclear which weight of the prize is hung on which arm member 51, and the player can be continuously entertained. As described above, as the outer diameter of the arm member 51 gradually decreases from the proximal end to the tip, the area where the distal end of the arm member 51 contacts the premium is reduced, and the degree of support becomes more unclear. Thereby, the said effect can be exhibited remarkably.

As described above, the prize support unit 5 has a function of supporting a prize such as a prize stand and a function of physically accessing a prize such as a crane arm that moves the prize to the opening 10. For this reason, in the conventional crane game device, at least a prize stand and a crane arm were required, whereas in the game device 1 of the present embodiment, only the premium support portion 5 may be provided. Therefore, in the game device 1 of this embodiment, the exhibition stand 213 can be provided in the area | region (game space) which was the movable area of a crane arm, and the game space can be used efficiently. It is also possible to make the size of the game device 1 compact compared to the conventional crane game device.

Moreover, in contrast to the conventional crane game device which required to separately provide (in another place on the same plane) a prize stand for placing the prize and an opening for dropping the prize, the game device 1 of the present invention is a prize The support 5 is provided on the opening 10. Accordingly, the area corresponding to the conventional premium stand and the area corresponding to the opening are concentrated, so that the size or shape of the opening 10 is small. Therefore, the game device 1 of this embodiment can respond to various prizes while making its size compact.

In this way, the game device 1 of the present embodiment is compact and can respond to various prizes compared to the conventional crane game device, so that the player can continuously enjoy the process of obtaining the prize. Therefore, the game device 1 of this embodiment can utilize a game space efficiently and can exhibit high game performance.

On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 4, before the game starts, the game device 1 administrator sets three or four arm members 51 in the first state, and sets the other arm members 51 in the second state in advance. It will be easier to win prizes. In this way, the administrator can easily adjust the game difficulty. Moreover, the premium support part 5 may be provided with respect to the regulation part 4 so that separation is possible. Accordingly, for example, since the arm member 51 having different lengths or outer diameters or the arm member 51 having various directing members (for example, a plurality of visible parts) can be exchanged and mounted, the prize placement method You can increase the width of the type or game difficulty. As a result, the administrator can freely set the composition of the game, and the player can be continuously entertained. Further, if the prize support 5 is configured as in the configuration example 2 or the configuration example 3 described later, the administrator can set the arm member 51 in a state other than the first state or the second state. Specifically, the manager so that the angle (angle with respect to the surface direction of the opening 10) with respect to the connecting portion 41 of the arm members 51 is different from each other (for example, neighboring arm members 51 between the state B of FIG. 15) And C), each arm member 51 may be set in advance. Accordingly, it is more likely that the prize will move unexpectedly, and the player can visually give the image to win the prize. Also, as shown in FIG. 16, if the plurality of connecting portions 41 are provided at different positions in the vertical direction (height direction) of the prescribed portion 4, the premium support portion 5 is provided in two stages (two-stage type) It is also possible to configure the height of the arm member 51 in the first state differently. Thereby, the gameability of the game device 1 can be improved, and the player can be made more enjoyable. On the other hand, in the case of constructing the premium supporting portion 5 in a two-stage type, the connection portion 41 may be provided so that the upper and lower arm members 51 do not interfere with each other. After the start of the game, the arm member 51 to be displaced is indicated by the operation instruction unit 6.

(Operation instruction part)

The operation instruction unit 6 is composed of a plurality of (32 in this embodiment) block bodies 61 provided on the regulation unit 4. On the other hand, the number of block bodies 61 is not particularly limited, and may be odd or even, and may be more than 32 or at least. The block body 61 is continuously provided along the circumferential direction of the opening 10 so as to surround the premium support 5 or the opening 10. That is, the operation instruction part 6 and the premium support part 5 (constituent members of a movable part) are provided concentrically.

The plurality of block bodies 61 includes 16 corresponding block bodies 61a provided adjacent to the arm members 51 and corresponding to the arm members 51; And 16 non-corresponding block bodies 61b provided between the arm members 51 and not provided to correspond to the arm members 51. That is, the corresponding block body 61a and the non-compliant block body 61b are alternately provided.

Each block body 61 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and a lighting device (for example, an LED device) 611 is provided therein. In FIG. 3, for one block body 61, a lighting device 611 provided therein is shown. On the other hand, the lighting device 611 of the other (31) block bodies 61 in FIG. 3 and the lighting device 611 of the block bodies 61 in FIG. 4 are not shown. Each lighting device 611 is composed of a plurality of (eight in this embodiment) LEDs. The lighting and flashing of the lighting device 611 are controlled by the control unit 9 described later. Specifically, the lighting devices 611 for each block body 61 are controlled to flash according to a predetermined program or randomly, and are controlled to blink sequentially in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, for example. Thereby, the lighting device 611 of the block body 61 is sequentially flashed in a predetermined direction, and the player can see the moment when the lighting device 611 of the block body 61 corresponding to the arm member 51 to be displaced lights up. Aim to operate the operation unit 3 (press the push button 31). By lighting only the lighting device 611 that was lit when pressed, the presence or absence of the arm member 51 corresponding to the block 61 of the lighting device 611 that is lit (the presence or absence of the arm member 51 to be displaced) It can be instructed to the player by the operation instruction unit 6. As described above, the operation instruction portion 6 corresponds to the premium support portion 5, and has a function of instructing the player to operate the operation portion 3 and instructing the presence or absence of the arm member 51 to be displaced. The lighting device 611 of the block body 61 that is lit when the player has operated may be detected by the detection unit 7.

Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, the corresponding block body 61a and the arm member 51 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence, but are not limited thereto. For example, one corresponding block body 61a may be provided so as to correspond to a plurality of (for example, 2 to 8) arm members 51 continuously provided. One corresponding block body 61a corresponding to the plurality of arm members 51 is larger than the corresponding block body 61a corresponding to the arm member 51 one-to-one. When such a large corresponding block body 61a is selected by the player's operation (when the push button 31 is pressed while the lighting device 611 is lit), a plurality of arm members corresponding to the large corresponding block body 61a ( 51) can be displaced all at once. Thereby, the hit feeling can be given to the player, and the gameability can be improved.

In addition, a plurality of (for example, 2 to 8) block bodies 61 corresponding to each arm member 51 and one-to-one may be composed of one group that lights and flashes simultaneously. Even with this configuration, when the grouped block body 61 is selected by the player's operation (the push button 31 is pressed while the lighting devices 611 are lit), the plurality of arm members 51 are displaced at once. Can achieve the above effect.

(Detection department)

The detection unit 7 is composed of various sensors (not shown) having a function of detecting the operation of each member of the game device 1, and is arranged to detect the operation of each member. For example, the detection unit 7 may be configured as a camera provided in the lower body 22 to detect that the prize has been dropped. In addition, the detection unit 7 is composed of a weight sensor, a pressure sensor, a photoelectric sensor, etc. provided on the arm member 51 to detect the state of the arm member 51 (first state or second state) or falling of the prize. . In addition, the detection unit 7 may be configured by a camera provided in the game space of the upper body 21 to detect the falling of the lighted block 61 (lighted lighting device 611) or prize. The configuration of the detection unit 7 is not particularly limited as long as it includes various sensors capable of exerting such functions. In addition, the presence or absence of a prize may be managed by the administrator of the game device 1, and in this case, the detection unit 7 may be omitted.

Each member constituting the game device 1 as described above may be integrally formed. For example, the regulation part 4 and the premium support part 5 may be integrally formed, and the connection part 41 and the arm member 51 may be integrally formed. In addition, the game device 1 of the present invention does not need to have the detection unit 7.

As described above, the game device 1 has a case 2, an operation portion 3, a regulation portion 4, a premium support portion 5, an operation instruction portion 6, and a detection portion 7. In addition, the game device 1 has a storage unit 8 and a control unit 9 provided in the lower body 22 of the case 2. In the following, along with the description of the storage unit 8 and the control unit 9, another configuration example of the premium support unit 5 and a method of operating the game device of the present embodiment will be described in detail.

(Memory part)

The storage unit 8 includes a ROM that stores game programs executed by the CPU, sound information, and the like; And RAM for temporarily storing the result of the calculation executed by the CPU. Specifically, the storage unit 8 stores patterns (flashing patterns) such as, for example, a speed (flashing speed) in which the lighting device 611 of the block body 61 flashes sequentially or a direction (flashing direction) flashing sequentially. have. In addition, the storage section 8 is a combination of the state of the prize support section 5 (whether the arm member 51 is in the first state or the second state), or the arm member 51 in the first state at the start of the game. (See FIG. 4) and the like. In addition, the memory | storage part 8 memorize | stores the some arm member 51 provided in the premium support part 5, and the some block body 61 provided in the operation instruction part 6 in correspondence. Specifically, the storage unit 8 stores them in a correspondence relationship (correspondence table) as described in Table 1 below.

That is, the memory | storage part 8 memorize | stores the arm member 51 numbered 1-16, and the block body 61 assigned the number 1-1. In addition, the storage unit 8 is an arm member 51 of the block body 61 to which the odd number is assigned, and the block body 61 to which the odd number is assigned to the arm member 51 and the corresponding block body 61a. It is stored as a non-compliant block body 61b that does not correspond to. On the other hand, the storage unit 8 may store the block body 61 to which an even number is assigned as a corresponding block body 61a, and the block body 61 to which an odd number is allocated as a non-compliant block body 61b. In addition, the storage unit 8 may store and store only the arm member 51 and the corresponding block body 61a in a one-to-one correspondence.

Accordingly, the presence or absence of the arm member 51 corresponding to the block 61 that is lit when the player operates, and, if there is the corresponding arm member 51, the information processing unit 92, which will be described later, specifies the number can do. For example, when the seventh block body 61 (corresponding block body 61a) is lit, the information processing unit 92 determines that the fourth arm member 51 is the corresponding arm member 51. On the other hand, when the eighth block body 61 (non-compliant block body 61b) is lit, the information processing unit 92 determines that there is no arm member 51 corresponding thereto.

(Control part)

The control unit 9 includes a CPU that executes the game program, and controls the entire game device 1. Specifically, the control unit 9 is an information acquisition unit that acquires information about the state of the prize holding unit 5, lighting of the operation instruction unit 6, information regarding the presence or absence of falling of the prize (information detected by the detecting unit 7), and the like. (91); An information processing unit 92 that processes the information acquired by the information acquisition unit 91; And an operation control unit 93 that controls the operation of the premium support unit 5 and the operation instruction unit 6.

(Information acquisition department)

The information acquisition unit 91 has a function of acquiring various types of information. Specifically, the information acquisition unit 91 is input information of the operation unit 3, information about the state (first state or second state) of each arm member 51, and lighting that is lit when input to the operation unit 3 Information specifying the device 611 (the block body 61 selected by the player) is acquired. The information processing unit 92 processes the obtained information.

(Information processing department)

The information processing unit 92 has a function of processing the entire game, and particularly has a function of processing the information acquired by the information acquisition unit 91 and instructing the operation control unit 93. Specifically, the information processing unit 92 is based on the block 61 information illuminated by the input to the operation unit 3 and the correspondence table (Table 1) stored in the storage unit 8, and corresponding arm members ( 51) Specify presence or absence. In addition, when there is a corresponding arm member 51, the information processing unit 92 specifies the number and instructs the operation control unit 93 of the operation of the specified arm member 51.

For example, referring to Table 1, when the block body 61 that is lit at the time of input to the operation unit 3 is the fourth block body 61 (non-compliant block body 61b), the information processing unit 92 Specifies that there is no corresponding arm member 51. In addition, for example, when the block body 61 that is lit at the time of input to the operation unit 3 is the fifth block body 61 (corresponding block body 61a), the information processing unit 92 includes the corresponding arm member ( 51) and that it is the third arm member 51. The information processing unit 92 instructs the operation control unit 93 to operate the specified arm member 51.

(Motion control)

The operation control section 93 has a function of controlling the operation of the premium support section 5 and the operation instruction section 6. The operation control unit 93 controls the operation of the operation instruction unit 6 as follows, for example. That is, the operation control unit 93 controls the lighting and flashing so that the lighting device 611 built in each block body 61 blinks sequentially. In addition, the operation control unit 93 may control the flashing direction clockwise or counterclockwise, or freely control the flashing speed. Accordingly, for example, the difficulty of the game can be lowered by slowing down the flashing speed, and the difficulty of the game can be increased by increasing the flashing speed. In addition, if the flashing direction or flashing speed is changed at random, the difficulty of the game can be further increased.

On the other hand, the operation control unit 93 may be controlled to light and flash some or all of the plurality of block bodies 61 simultaneously. Specifically, when the lighting device 611 built in each block body 61 blinks sequentially, the operation control unit 93 simultaneously blocks the No. 1 to No. 3 blocks 61 as shown in Table 2 below. It is also possible to control the block bodies 61 to 17 to be individually flashed, the block bodies 61 to 24 to 61 to be simultaneously flashed, and the block bodies 61 to 32 to be individually flashed sequentially. Accordingly, when the push button 31 is pressed when the block Nos. 1 to 3 are flashing simultaneously, the first arm member 51 and the second arm member 51 are displaced at the same time, so the player feels a hit feeling. Can give In addition, when the push button 31 is pressed when the blocks No. 18 to No. 24 are simultaneously flashing, the arm member 51, arm member 51, and arm member 51 of No. 12 are simultaneously displaced. You can give the player a feeling of great hit.

In addition, for example, the operation control unit 93 may control two or eight consecutive block bodies 61 to be simultaneously and sequentially flashed as shown in Tables 3 and 4 below. As described in Tables 3 and 4, by simultaneously flashing the odd and even numbered block bodies 61, any one arm member 51 can be displaced. Therefore, it is possible to give the player a sense that there is no slam, thereby increasing the chance for the player to play on the game device 1.

In addition, the operation control unit 93 controls the operation of the premium support unit 5 as follows. That is, as illustrated in FIG. 15, the operation control unit 93 basically controls the prize support unit 5 to be displaced from the first state (A state in FIG. 15) to the second state (D state in FIG. 15). In addition, as shown in another configuration example below, the operation control unit 93 controls the prize support 5 to be displaced in multiple stages (stepwise) or controls the prize support 5 in the second state to return to the first state. can do. Specifically, referring to FIG. 15, the operation control unit 93 displaces the premium support 5 from the first state (state A in FIG. 15) upwards (state B in FIG. 15), and directly there from the second state It can be controlled to be displaced to the second state in step (D state in FIG. 15) or, for example, through the C state in FIG. 15. In addition, the operation control unit 93 displaces the prize support 5 from the C state of FIG. 15 to the B state, where it is directly transferred to the second state, or, for example, stepwise through the C state of FIG. 15 to the second state. It can also be controlled to be displaced. In addition, the operation control unit 93 may also control the prize support 5 to vibrate when the prize support 5 is displaced (operated). By controlling the prize supporting portion 5 as described above, the gameability of the game device 1 can be increased, and the player can be more continuously enjoyed. In addition, by displacing the prize support portion 5 upward, the prize is greatly moved, and an image capable of obtaining the prize can be visually given to the player. As a result, it is possible to increase the chance for the player to play on the game device 1.

2. Other configuration examples

(Other configuration example 1 of the premium support)

In this embodiment, each arm member 51 is provided along the surface direction of the opening 10 from its base to the tip in the first state, but at least one arm member 51 is provided in the surface direction of the opening 10. It may be provided at an inclined angle. Specifically, for example, when the arm member 51 is inclined downward toward the radial center of the opening 10, the prize tends to fall easily, so that the game difficulty can be lowered. On the other hand, when the arm member 51 is inclined upward toward the center of the radial direction of the opening 10, the prize tends to be difficult to fall, thereby increasing the game difficulty. The arm member 51 inclined downward and the arm member 51 inclined upward may be used in combination. Meanwhile, the inclination angle is not particularly limited, but is preferably 15 to 60 ° with respect to the surface direction (diameter direction) of the opening 10, and more preferably 30 to 45 °. According to this configuration example, it is possible to provide a game device 1 that is easy to maintain (highly difficult to get tired of) by maintaining a high gameability by increasing the width for selecting the game difficulty.

(Other configuration example 2 of the premium support)

Further, the arm member 51 may be configured to be displaced in a multi-step (stepwise) manner from a first state to a second state by having a plurality of concave parts that engage with the engaging parts of the connection part 41. The posture of the prize is changed stepwise (finely) by the stepwise displacement of the arm member 51 supporting the prize. As a result, the degree of weighting of prizes on the arm member 51 is also slightly changed, so that the player is given the weight of the prize on which arm member 51 and how much weighting the arm member 51 is. It becomes difficult to figure out if it is hanging on. Accordingly, the process of obtaining the prize can be enjoyed more by the player.

(Other configuration example 3)

In addition, a drive mechanism for driving the premium support 5 may be provided on the lower body 22 so that the arm member 51 automatically returns from the second state to the first state. With such a configuration, for example, when the block body 61 corresponding to the arm member 51 already in the second state is lit by the player's operation (input), the arm member 51 is placed in the first state. You can revert to, increasing the difficulty of the game. In addition, when the game is over, the arm member 51 in the second state is automatically returned to the first state, so that the operation rate of the game device 1 can be increased compared to the case where the administrator manually reverts. On the other hand, if the prize is not obtained and the game is over, the arm member 51 in the second state may be automatically returned to the first state for a predetermined time, and play may be resumed in the meantime. . As a result, the player (including other players who have not played the game from the beginning) can resume the game on the way, thereby giving the player the incentive to play on the game device 1. In this case, the above-mentioned effect can be exhibited more effectively by displaying a predetermined time on a display portion (such as a display panel). In addition, if the storage unit 8 memorizes the combination of the arm members 51 in the first state at the start of the game (see FIG. 4), the game device 1 manager is the arm members 51 in the first state This saves you the trouble of manually setting the combination of before the start of the game.

In addition, by providing the driving mechanism, it is possible to produce various directions. For example, the motion control unit 93 sequentially displaces the arm members 51 in the first state or the second state (for example, clockwise) to the second state or the first state, and returns to the original state. Can be controlled. In addition, for example, the operation control unit 93 may also control the state of all the arm members 51 to be reversed collectively. Specifically, the operation control unit 93 may collectively displace the arm member 51 in the first state into the second state, and the arm member 51 in the second state into the first state. If such a directing is performed while the game is not being performed, the prizes move (for example, the bear doll moves largely as if dancing), so the gameability of the game device 1 is different from that of the conventional game device. It can communicate visually. You can also visually give the player an image of the prize dropping as the prize moves. As a result, it is possible to give the player an incentive to play on the game device 1. In addition, when the game is finished without obtaining a prize or during such a game, the function of resetting the prize is exhibited. Accordingly, it is possible to increase the chance for the player to play on the game device 1.

Also, the motion control unit 93 may control the arm member 51 displaced to the second state during the game to be returned to the first state after a predetermined time (for example, 60 seconds to 180 seconds). In this way, the difficulty of the game increases and the player can be continuously entertained.

In addition, when the prize is hung on the arm member 51 with a string or the like, if the string is fixed to the arm member 51, the falling prize is automatically pulled up by the player's operation, and the next game can be started without replenishing the prize. have. In this case, prize delivery can be done separately at the store counter.

(Other configuration example 4 of the premium support part)

In addition, a vibrating body may be provided in the arm member 51 so that the arm member 51 vibrates when the premium support 5 is operated. The vibration is caused by the vibration of the vibrating body, whereby the arm member 51 is slightly displaced with the connecting portion 41 as a supporting point. For example, the arm member 51 may be configured to vibrate after the arm member 51 is displaced (especially after being displaced stepwise), and the arm member 51 may be displaced before being displaced. (51) may be configured to vibrate. Also, when an arm member 51 is displaced to the second state, an arm member 51 different from the displaced arm member 51 (eg, an arm member 51 adjacent to the displaced arm member 51) It may be configured to vibrate. Accordingly, the possibility that the prize becomes an unexpected posture increases, so that the player can enjoy the process of obtaining the prize more. Such vibration may be controlled to occur (evenly) in a predetermined size within a predetermined time, or may be controlled to occur intermittently. On the other hand, a vibrating body may be further provided in the engaging portion or the side plate portion 411 of the connecting portion 41. By providing a plurality of vibrating bodies in different places as described above, the above effects can be exhibited more remarkably.

3. How to operate the game device

Next, the game device operation method of this embodiment is explained in full detail. 5 is a flow chart showing the overall flow of the game in the game device according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

As illustrated in FIG. 5, when the game is started, the operation control unit 93 operates the operation instruction unit 6 (S501), and sequentially turns on the lighting devices 611 of each block 61 (S502). On the other hand, the processing of step S501 may be performed before the game starts, in this case, for example, before the game starts, the blinking direction of the lighting device 611 of the block body 61 is randomly controlled, and the flashing direction is started from the start of the game. Just keep it constant.

In addition, the determination of the game start is made by the information acquisition unit 91 and the information processing unit 92 based on the information, the player's intention to start the game (for example, coin input, etc.). At this time, the number of games (the number of times the game can be challenged) is set according to the number of coins inserted. Next, the process proceeds to step S503.

In the state where each block body 61 is blinking sequentially, the player makes an input to the operation unit 3 at the moment when the block body 61 corresponding to the arm member 51 to be displaced lights up. When there is no input to the operation unit 3 (No in S503), the processes in steps S502 and S503 are repeated.

When there is input to the operation unit 3 (Yes in S503), the information acquisition unit 91 acquires the input information. The information processing unit 92 identifies the block 61 that was lit at the time of input based on the input information acquired by the information acquisition unit 91 (S504). At this time, the information processing unit 92 instructs the operation control unit 93 to operate the specified block body 61, and the operation control unit 93 turns on only the specified block body 61.

Accordingly, the player can check the selected block body 61 and can check whether the desired arm member 51 can be selected. In the meantime, the presence or absence of the arm member 51 corresponding to the specified block body 61 is specified by the information processing unit 92 through the above-described correspondence table (Table 1) of the storage unit 8 (S505).

If there is a corresponding arm member 51, for example, when the fifth block body 61 is on, the information processing unit 92 is attached to the third arm member 51 corresponding to the illuminated block body 61. Specify (Yes in S505). In this case, the processing proceeds to step S506, and the information processing unit 92 determines whether the third arm member 51 is in the first state. When the third arm member 51 is in the first state (Yes in S506), the operation control unit 93 displaces the third arm member 51 into the second state (S507). The process proceeds to step S508, and the information processing unit 92 determines whether the prize is dropped due to the displacement of the third arm member 51 into the second state (S508). When the prize falls (Yes in S508), the game ends, but when the prize does not fall (No in S508), the process proceeds to step S510.

On the other hand, returning to step S505, when there is no corresponding arm member 51, for example, when the fourth block body 61 is on, the information processing unit 92 specifies that there is no corresponding arm member 51 (No in S505), the operation control part 93 controls the arm member 51 not to operate (S509). In addition, even if the fifth block body 61 is selected in step S506, if the third arm member 51 corresponding to the block body 61 is not in the first state, the information processing unit 92 determines (S506) No), that is, even if the information processing unit 92 determines that the arm member 51 has already been displaced in the second state, the operation control unit 93 controls the arm member 51 not to operate (S509). . After step S509, the process proceeds to step S510.

In step S510, the information processing unit 92 determines whether the number of games is present. If the number of games remains (Yes in S510), the process returns to step S502, and if no number of games remains (No in S510), the game ends.

In the above, the above-described processing method can be created by a program executed by a computer. Such a program is realized by a central processing unit (CPU), a microprocessor (graphic processor), a graphics processing unit (GPU), random access memory (RAM), and read only memory (ROM).

<Second Embodiment>

Next, a second embodiment of the game device of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 6 is a perspective view (a) showing that the prize support is in the first state, and the perspective view showing that the prize support is in the second state, showing the prize support and the operation instruction of the game device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. (b).

Further, the arm member 51 may be configured to rotate relative to the connection portion 41, the arm member 51 may be fixed to the connection portion 41, and the connection portion 41 may be configured to rotate relative to the prescribed portion 4. . In addition, the angle to rotate is not limited, and may be rotated (rotated) step by step. Further, the shape of the placement plate 51b is not particularly limited, and may be circular or elliptical, or polygonal, such as a triangle or pentagon.

In this way, in the game device 1 of this embodiment, since there is only one arm member 51 to be displaced, in order to obtain a prize, the player has the arm member in plural (32 in this embodiment) block bodies 61. It is necessary to target the block body 61 (corresponding block body 61a) corresponding to (51) with a pin point. Therefore, it is possible to give the player the pleasure of aiming at the pin point. In addition, since the prize support unit 5 also has a function of supporting the prize and a function of physically accessing the prize, the game space can be effectively utilized.

<Third embodiment>

Next, a third embodiment of the game device of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 7 is a perspective view (a) showing a prescribed portion, a prize support portion and an operation instruction portion of the game device according to the third embodiment of the present invention, wherein the prize support portion is in the first state, and the prize support portion is in the second state It is a perspective view (b) showing this.

Hereinafter, the third embodiment will be described, but the difference from the above-described first embodiment will be mainly described, and the description of the same items will be omitted. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the structure similar to 1st embodiment mentioned above.

In the game device 1 of this embodiment, the structure of the regulation part 4 and the premium support part 5 is different, except that it is the same as the game device 1 of the said 1st embodiment. Specifically, the premium support portion 5 of the third embodiment includes a plurality of (four in this embodiment) rod-shaped arm members 51 provided to traverse the opening 10 in the first state. In addition, the defining portion 4 is provided with holes 42 at positions corresponding to both ends of each arm member 51 on its inner circumferential surface. That is, the prescribed part 4 is provided with eight holes 42, and the diameter of each hole 42 corresponds to the diameter of the arm member 51. Accordingly, the regulation part 4 is configured to accommodate the arm member 51.

The arm member 51 is freely stretchable so as to be accommodated in the prescribed portion 4 in the second state. In Fig. 7 (b), it is shown that the two arm members 51 are in the second state (in the state accommodated in the regulation section 4). In this case, the arm member 51 in the second state may be accommodated in the defining portion 4 in the front hole 42 (not shown), or in the defining portion 4 in the rear hole 42. On the other hand, the arm member 51 may be accommodated only partially in the regulation part 4 in the second state, or may be accommodated in the regulation part 4 stepwise from the first state to the second state. In addition, the number of the arm members 51 is not particularly limited, and may be odd or even, and may be more than four or at least.

In this embodiment, both ends of each arm member 51 are provided corresponding to the corresponding block body 61a in the first state. That is, there are two corresponding block bodies 61a corresponding to one arm member 51, and even if any corresponding block bodies 61a are lit by the player's operation, the arm corresponding to the lit corresponding block bodies 61a The member 51 can be displaced. Accordingly, the probability that the desired arm member 51 can be selected increases, and the game difficulty can be reduced, thereby providing the game device 1 with an advantage for the player. Further, the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained also by the game device 1 of the third embodiment.

<4th embodiment>

Next, a fourth embodiment of the game device of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

8 is a perspective view showing a regulation unit, a prize support unit, and an operation instruction unit of the game device according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, the fourth embodiment will be described, but the difference from the above-described first embodiment will be mainly described, and the description of the same items will be omitted. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the structure similar to 1st embodiment mentioned above.

In the game device 1 of this embodiment, the structure of the regulation part 4 and the premium support part 5 differs, and it is the same as that of the game device 1 of the said 1st embodiment except that. Specifically, the premium support portion 5 of the fourth embodiment includes a plurality of arm members 51 of a long shape (two in this embodiment), and the defining portion 4 includes a guide rail member 43. have. The guide rail member 43 is configured such that the arm member 51 rotates along the circumferential direction of the defining portion 4 (opening 10). On the other hand, in Fig. 8, arrows are given in the direction of clockwise rotation.

When the player inputs to the operation unit 3 and the corresponding block body 61a corresponding to the arm member 51 is turned on, the arm member 51 is rotated clockwise while its tip represents the center of the opening 10 do. The arm member 51 may be rotated corresponding to the block body 61, and the angle of rotation is preferably 15 to 90 °, for example, and more preferably 30 to 60 °.

On the other hand, if one arm member 51 rotates in one direction, the arm member 51 and the other arm member 51 may interfere (neighboring). In this case, even if the arm member 51 is selected, it is not necessary to move it. In addition, when one arm member 51 rotates, the other arm member 51 may be configured to rotate in cooperation. In addition, the number of the arm members 51 is not particularly limited, and may be odd or even, and may be more than two or at least.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the arm member 51 is provided along the surface direction of the opening 10 from the base end to the tip end in both the first state and the second state. In other words, the arm member 51 extends in the radial direction of the opening 10 in both the first state and the second state. As such, since the arm member 51 is displaced in the horizontal direction, it is difficult for the prize to drop depending on the shape, size, and arrangement of the prize. As a result, you can increase the difficulty of the game and keep the player entertained. The same effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained also by the game device 1 according to the fourth embodiment.

<The fifth embodiment>

Next, a fifth embodiment of the game device of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

9 is a perspective view showing a game device according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, the fifth embodiment will be described, but the difference from the above-described first embodiment will be mainly described, and the description of the same items will be omitted. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the structure similar to 1st embodiment mentioned above.

In the game device 1 of this embodiment, the shape of the case 2, the structure of the operation part 3, and the point where the crane part 11 is provided differ, except for the same as the game device 1 of the first embodiment. Do. Specifically, the game device 1 of the fifth embodiment includes a rectangular parallelepiped case 2; An operation unit 3 having three push buttons 31; And as a movable part, a crane part 11 for holding and moving a premium.
