The display mode of the options in the display area a1 changes. For example, in the Three Dice Total area a1-6, there is no possibility of hitting other than "11", so it is displayed dark. Further, the result display r1 indicating "11" is displayed. Here, the player can recognize that the bet (E1) to the area of "11" has been won.
　（第１実施形態のゲーム装置の作用、画像表示方法）
　次に、図１から図３、図５から図７を参照して、第１実施形態のゲーム装置の作用を説明するとともに、第１実施形態のゲーム装置の画像表示方法について説明する。第１実施形態のゲーム装置の画像表示方法は、仮想遊技具（ＳＩＣＢＯで使用されるダイス等の遊技具の表示）を動的に変化させて抽選結果を演出表示する画像表示方法である。この画像表示方法は、抽選結果のとりうる範囲を一覧表示するための一覧画像を生成するステップと、仮想遊技具を動的に変化させて抽選結果を演出表示するための抽選演出画像を生成するステップと、仮想遊技具の動的な変化に対応して変動する抽選結果となりうる第１の選択肢群と、抽選結果となりえない第２の選択肢群との間で、一覧画像における表示態様を異ならせるステップと、を有する。以下、画像表示方法を具体的に説明する。 (Operation of the game device of the first embodiment, image display method)
Next, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 and 5 to 7, the operation of the game device of the first embodiment will be described, and the image display method of the game device of the first embodiment will be described. The image display method of the game device of the first embodiment is an image display method in which a virtual game tool (display of a game tool such as a dice used in SICBO) is dynamically changed to produce and display a lottery result. In this image display method, a step of generating a list image for displaying a list of possible ranges of the lottery result and a lottery effect image for displaying the lottery result by dynamically changing the virtual game tool are generated. If the display mode in the list image is different between the first option group that can be the lottery result that fluctuates according to the dynamic change of the step and the virtual game tool and the second option group that cannot be the lottery result. It has a step to make it. Hereinafter, the image display method will be specifically described.
　図８のフローチャートを参照して、第１実施形態のゲーム装置の画像表示方法を説明する。図８に示すように、ゲーム装置１００においてゲームが開始されると、まず、コンピューティング装置２００の制御部２０１は、画像処理部２０６を制御してベットボード画像を生成し、表示装置１０２に一覧画像としてのベットボード画像を表示する（Ｓ１１０）。 The image display method of the game device of the first embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, when the game is started in the game device 100, first, the control unit 201 of the computing device 200 controls the image processing unit 206 to generate a betboard image, which is listed on the display device 102. A betboard image as an image is displayed (S110).
　次に、制御部２０１は、ベッティングボード表示エリアａ１のいずれかのベット位置にベットが終了したか否かを判定する（Ｓ１２０）。制御部２０１は、ベットが終了していないと判定した場合（Ｓ１２０／ＮＯ）、ベットが終了するまで待機する。制御部２０１は、ベットが終了していると判定した場合（Ｓ１２０／ＹＥＳ）、抽選に移行する（Ｓ１３０）。 Next, the control unit 201 determines whether or not the bet has been completed at any bet position in the betting board display area a1 (S120). When the control unit 201 determines that the bet has not been completed (S120 / NO), the control unit 201 waits until the bet is completed. When the control unit 201 determines that the bet has been completed (S120 / YES), the control unit 201 shifts to the lottery (S130).
　抽選処理を行った後にダイス表示エリアａ２の左側の第１ダイス表示部ａ２－１をオープンする（Ｓ１４０）。図５に示したように、制御部２０１は、第１ダイス表示部ａ２－１に第１ダイスＤ１の出目が表示されると、画像処理部２０６により第１ダイスＤ１の出目表示により当選可能性のなくなったベットエリアにおける選択肢群を暗く表示する（Ｓ１５０）。 After performing the lottery process, the first dice display unit a2-1 on the left side of the dice display area a2 is opened (S140). As shown in FIG. 5, when the result of the first die D1 is displayed on the first die display unit a2-1, the control unit 201 is elected by the image processing unit 206 by displaying the result of the first die D1. The options in the betting area where the possibility has disappeared are displayed in dark (S150).
　次に、制御部２０１は、ダイス表示エリアａ２の右側の第２ダイス表示部ａ２－２をオープンする（Ｓ１６０）。図６に示したように、制御部２０１は、第２ダイス表示部ａ２－２に第２ダイスＤ２の出目が表示されると、画像処理部２０６により第２ダイスＤ２の出目表示により、更に当選可能性のなくなったベットエリアにおける選択肢群を暗く表示する（Ｓ１７０）。 Next, the control unit 201 opens the second die display unit a2-2 on the right side of the die display area a2 (S160). As shown in FIG. 6, when the roll of the second die D2 is displayed on the second die display unit a2-2, the control unit 201 displays the roll of the second die D2 by the image processing unit 206. Furthermore, the option group in the betting area where the winning possibility is lost is displayed darkly (S170).
　次に、制御部２０１は、ダイス表示エリアａ２の中央の第３ダイス表示部ａ２－３をオープンする（Ｓ１８０）。図７に示すように、制御部２０１は、第３ダイス表示部ａ２－３に第３ダイスＤ３の出目が表示されると、画像処理部２０６により第３ダイスＤ３の出目表示により、多くの当選可能性のなくなったベットエリアにおける選択肢群を暗く表示する（Ｓ１９０）。 Next, the control unit 201 opens the third die display unit a2-3 in the center of the die display area a2 (S180). As shown in FIG. 7, when the third die display unit a2-3 displays the roll of the third die D3, the image processing unit 206 displays the roll of the third die D3 more often. The choice group in the betting area where the winning possibility of is lost is displayed darkly (S190).
　制御部２０１は、ダイス表示エリアａ２の全ダイスＤ１、Ｄ２、Ｄ３が表示されたか否かを判定する（Ｓ２００）。制御部２０１は、全ダイスＤ１、Ｄ２、Ｄ３が表示されていないと判定した場合（Ｓ２００／ＮＯ）、ステップＳ１４０に戻る。制御部２０１は、全ダイスＤ１、Ｄ２、Ｄ３が表示されていると判定した場合（Ｓ２２０）、当選表示を行うとともに、配当処理を行う（Ｓ２３０）。配当処理を行った後、ゲームは終了する。 The control unit 201 determines whether or not all the dice D1, D2, and D3 in the die display area a2 are displayed (S200). When the control unit 201 determines that all the dice D1, D2, and D3 are not displayed (S200 / NO), the control unit 201 returns to step S140. When the control unit 201 determines that all the dice D1, D2, and D3 are displayed (S220), the control unit 201 displays the winning and performs the payout processing (S230). After processing the payout, the game ends.
　以上説明したように、第１実施形態のゲーム装置１００は、仮想遊技具の動的な変化に対応して抽選結果となりうる選択肢群が変動して表示される。具体的には、第１ダイスＤ１、第２ダイスＤ２、第３ダイスＤ３が順にオープンされ、各ダイスＤ１、Ｄ２、Ｄ３の出目に応じて（すなわち、ダイスの出目の表示の動的な変化に応じて）、抽選結果となりうる第１の選択肢群と、抽選結果となりえない第２の選択肢群との間の表示態様を異ならせる。したがって、第１実施形態のゲーム装置１００によれば、抽選結果が確定するまでの期間中であっても従来よりもプレイヤを楽しませて気持ちを高揚させることができる。その結果、ゲーム装置１００の顧客吸引力を向上させることができる。 As described above, in the game device 100 of the first embodiment, the option group that can be the lottery result is displayed in a variable manner in response to the dynamic change of the virtual game tool. Specifically, the first die D1, the second die D2, and the third die D3 are opened in order, and the dice rolls are displayed dynamically according to the dice rolls D1, D2, and D3 (that is, the dice rolls are displayed dynamically). (Depending on the change), the display mode is different between the first option group that can be the lottery result and the second option group that cannot be the lottery result. Therefore, according to the game device 100 of the first embodiment, the player can be more entertained and uplifted than before even during the period until the lottery result is finalized. As a result, the customer attraction of the game device 100 can be improved.
　仮想遊技具の動的な変化に対応して変動する抽選結果となりうる第１の選択肢群に比べて、抽選結果となりえない第２の選択肢群を暗く表示させることにより、抽選結果となりうる第１の選択肢群が明確になる。 A first option group that can be a lottery result by displaying a second option group that cannot be a lottery result darker than a first option group that can be a lottery result that fluctuates according to a dynamic change of a virtual game tool. The choice group of is clarified.
　一つのダイスの出目が確定する毎に表示態様を異ならせるので、当たりの期待感を演出することができる。 Since the display mode is changed each time the roll of one die is confirmed, it is possible to produce a feeling of expectation of hitting.
　さらに、一覧画像は、抽選結果を予測するためのＳＩＣＢＯゲームのベッティングボードをモデルとしているので、臨場感を演出することができ、ゲーム装置１００の顧客吸引力を向上させることができる。 Furthermore, since the list image is modeled on the betting board of the SICBO game for predicting the lottery result, it is possible to produce a sense of presence and improve the customer attraction of the game device 100.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, 9A to 12, the operation of the game device 300 of the roulette game of the second embodiment will be described, and the image display method of the game device 300 of the second embodiment will be described. explain. The image display method of the game device of the roulette game of the second embodiment is an image that dynamically changes the virtual game tool (display of the game tool such as roulette and balls used in the roulette game) to produce and display the lottery result. This is the display method. In this image display method, a step of generating a list image for displaying a list of possible ranges of the lottery result and a lottery effect image for displaying the lottery result by dynamically changing the virtual game tool are generated. The display mode in the list image is different between the step and the first option group that can be a lottery result that fluctuates according to the dynamic change of the virtual game tool and the second option group that cannot be a lottery result. It has steps and. Hereinafter, the image display method will be specifically described.
　図１２のフローチャートを参照して、第２実施形態のルーレットのプレイにおけるゲーム装置３００の画像表示方法を説明する。図１２に示すように、ゲーム装置３００において、ゲームが開始されると、まず、制御部２０１はルーレット画像を生成し、表示装置１０２に画像処理部２０６によりルーレット画像が表示される（Ｓ３１０）。次に、制御部２０１はベットボード画像を生成し、表示装置１０２に画像処理部２０６により、一覧画像としてベットボード画像を表示する（Ｓ３２０）。 The image display method of the game device 300 in the roulette play of the second embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. As shown in FIG. 12, when the game is started in the game device 300, the control unit 201 first generates a roulette image, and the image processing unit 206 displays the roulette image on the display device 102 (S310). Next, the control unit 201 generates a bet board image, and the image processing unit 206 displays the bet board image as a list image on the display device 102 (S320).
　次に、制御部２０１は、ベッティングボード表示エリアｃ１にベットが終了したか否かを判定する（Ｓ３３０）。制御部２０１は、ベットが終了していないと判定した場合（Ｓ３３０／ＮＯ）、ベットが終了するまで待機する。制御部２０１は、ベットが終了したと判定した場合（Ｓ３３０／ＹＥＳ）、抽選を開始する（Ｓ３４０）。 Next, the control unit 201 determines whether or not the bet has ended in the betting board display area c1 (S330). When the control unit 201 determines that the bet is not completed (S330 / NO), the control unit 201 waits until the bet is completed. When the control unit 201 determines that the bet has ended (S330 / YES), the control unit 201 starts the lottery (S340).
　制御部２０１は、抽選が終了すると、ルーレットの変動処理を開始する（Ｓ３５０）。制御部２０１は、ルーレットの変動処理を開始した後、ルーレットの回転速度が閾値以下であるか否かを判定する（Ｓ３６０）。制御部２０１は、ルーレットの回転速度が閾値を超えていると判定した場合（Ｓ３６０／ＮＯ）、閾値以下になるまで変動処理を継続する。制御部２０１は、ルーレットの回転速度が閾値以下であると判定した場合（Ｓ３６０／ＹＥＳ）、球オブジェクトの投入可能範囲を決定する（Ｓ３７０）。 When the lottery is completed, the control unit 201 starts roulette variation processing (S350). After starting the roulette variation processing, the control unit 201 determines whether or not the rotation speed of the roulette is equal to or less than the threshold value (S360). When the control unit 201 determines that the rotation speed of the roulette exceeds the threshold value (S360 / NO), the control unit 201 continues the fluctuation process until the rotation speed becomes equal to or less than the threshold value. When the control unit 201 determines that the rotation speed of the roulette is equal to or less than the threshold value (S360 / YES), the control unit 201 determines the throwable range of the sphere object (S370).
　次に、制御部２０１は、図１０に示したように、表示装置１０２に画像処理部２０６によりルーレット画像を拡大表示する（Ｓ３８０）。そして、図１１Ａに示すように、制御部２０１は、画像処理部２０６により球の入賞可能範囲のベットエリアの選択肢群を強調表示する（Ｓ３９０）。第２実施形態では、入賞可能範囲の選択肢群が明るく表示され、他の領域の選択肢群が暗く表示される。 Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the control unit 201 enlarges and displays the roulette image on the display device 102 by the image processing unit 206 (S380). Then, as shown in FIG. 11A, the control unit 201 highlights the selection group of the betting area in the winning range of the sphere by the image processing unit 206 (S390). In the second embodiment, the option group in the winning range is displayed brightly, and the option group in the other area is displayed darkly.
　次に、制御部２０１は、ルーレットが停止したか否かを判定する（Ｓ４００）。制御部２０１は、ルーレットが停止していないと判定した場合（Ｓ４００／Ｎｏ）、ルーレットが停止するまで待機する。制御部２０１は、ルーレットが停止したと判定した場合（Ｓ４００／ＹＥＳ）、当選表示を行うとともに、配当処理を行う（Ｓ４１０）。配当処理を行った後、ゲームは終了する。 Next, the control unit 201 determines whether or not the roulette has stopped (S400). When the control unit 201 determines that the roulette is not stopped (S400 / No), the control unit 201 waits until the roulette is stopped. When the control unit 201 determines that the roulette wheel has stopped (S400 / YES), the control unit 201 displays the winning and performs the payout processing (S410). After processing the payout, the game ends.
　以上説明したように、第２実施形態のルーレットゲームのゲーム装置３００は、ルーレットの回転の減速に応じて変動する、球オブジェクトが入りうる区画の範囲を仮想遊技具の動的な変化に対応して変動する抽選結果となりうる第１の選択肢群として取り扱っている。即ち、抽選結果となりうる第１の選択肢群（入賞可能性のある範囲）を強調表示（明るく表示）し、それ以外の第２の選択肢群（入賞可能性のない範囲）を暗く表示している。したがって、第２実施形態のルーレットゲームのゲーム装置によれば、抽選結果が確定するまでの期間中であっても従来よりもプレイヤを楽しませて気持ちを高揚させることができる。その結果、ゲーム装置３００の顧客吸引力を向上させることができる。 As described above, the game device 300 of the roulette game of the second embodiment corresponds to the dynamic change of the virtual game tool in the range of the section where the sphere object can enter, which fluctuates according to the deceleration of the rotation of the roulette.
