<row Bingo game 〉
Figure 21 shows the control sequence of capable Bingo game.The row Bingo game can be selected by " OK " sign that touches display frame on display device DS.
If select the row Bingo game, then capable Bingo game control module 124, each player is generated the image of several intrinsic bingo cards, on the display device DS of correspondingly player's seat PS, show the card (step S101) that has a plurality of signs at an upper portion thereof.The player from many cards, selects 1 bingo card of liking.The switching of the image of bingo card, the selection of bingo card are undertaken by the sign that touches the visual top that is positioned at bingo card on display device DS.The image of each bingo card generates by card administrative unit 1241.Bingo card as shown in figure 16, is optionally arranged the symbol of " 1 "~" 25 " on 5 * 5 matrix shape.In addition, the image of gambling rate corresponding with each bingo card and corresponding bingo card together shows.Thus, the player can be low from elected probability and the low bingo card of the bingo card that income is high, elected probability height and income, select bingo card.The gambling rate, according to the card information from card administrative unit 1241, the calculating formula according to regulation in computing unit 1242 is calculated.
At this, describe the generation of the bingo card that capable Bingo game control module 124 carries out and the computation sequence of gambling rate in detail with reference to Fig. 9, Figure 22.
At first, the symbolic information that is stored in the auxilary unit 57 is read into card generation unit 411 randomly, determine the arrangement (step S121) of the symbol that each card is subsidiary.Wherein symbol arrangement information can be read the information that is stored in advance in the auxilary unit 57, also can determine randomly in the card generation unit after reading symbol.Below, with effective coverage setup unit 412, the symbol of the ad-hoc location on the matrix is specified as the effective coverage.The information of this ad-hoc location can be read in advance with certain pattern and is stored in information in the auxilary unit 57, also can determine randomly in the card generation unit after reading symbol.The arrangement information of if symbol and the information of effective coverage are determined, and then it becomes bingo card (step S122).The number of effective coverage and position can be arranged in difference in each arrangement information, also can be arranged in whole arrangement informations identical.
Below, with the ad-hoc location number of the bingo card that in card generation unit 411, generates and be configured to the basis, calculate gambling rate (step S123) with computing unit 1242.Usually, the number of ad-hoc location and configuration, since different in each bingo card, so become the distinctive gambling rate of each bingo card.For example, number few card in effective coverage is set higher gambling rate.Bingo card of Sheng Chenging and gambling rate are presented at display device DS by display unit 1243 and go up (step S124) like this.
If the demonstration bingo card, each player then can be to each every trade alter operation (step S102) of advancing of card.Example with reference to the capable alter operation of description of drawings in the present embodiment.
Figure 19 is an example of the action of the row change of showing that row guest dagger-axe control module 414 carries out.In Figure 19, shown the capable move operation figure on the both sides that are configured in bingo card and each row.
As can be known, in the 3rd row of bingo card, the position of symbol " 17 " is the effective coverage in the last figure of Figure 19, and symbol " 21 " is a significant character, and the position of symbol " 14 " is the effective coverage, if this row symbol is next by validation then become and be about to reach effective.At this, the most descending symbol " 12 " of this card has been because be significant character, so if can make symbol " 12 " move to the 3rd row, then remaining have only symbol " 5 ", can expect to increase the probability of guest's dagger-axe.
Thereby, the player, if touch the left-hand arrow that once is configured the most descending in the drawings left side, the symbol rank that then is configured on this row is moved to the left 1.Figure below of Figure 19 is the figure that shows the configuration status of this symbol rank after moving.The symbol 22 that is configured in this row left end is when right-hand member moves, and symbol " 1 ", " 10 ", " 12 ", " 3 " are moved to the left a position separately as can be known.At this moment, by selecting the symbol that becomes significant character, the symbol of remaining valid moves, and the effective coverage of setting by effective coverage setup unit 412 zone of descending right-hand member (), even the symbol of row all is moved to the left also and moves not together, and is fixed on right-hand member in the same old way.Like this, the player, whenever pushing once should left side arrow, this symbol rank one by one in this row circulation move.In addition, if push right arrow, then similarly move round about.The configuration again of the symbol rank that is undertaken by this row move operation is only carrying out in certain hour described later, if crossed during this period then the configuration of the symbol on the card is fixed.
Function is changed in above-mentioned going, by detect the input action of importing, the symbol arrangement data realization that change card administrative unit 1241 is carried out on display device DS.
Figure 20 is the figure of another example that shows the action of the row change of being undertaken by row change control module 414.The last figure of Figure 20 goes before changing, and figure below is to go after changing.Figure 20 by mobile significant character, produces on bingo card and is about to reach effective status.In last figure, symbol " 21 ", " 12 ", " 24 " are significant characters, and the position at symbol " 17 ", " 16 ", " 24 ", " 14 ", " 3 " place is the effective coverage but is not to be about to reach effective status in addition.At this, in last figure, symbol " 24 " is a significant character, and is positioned at the effective coverage.In the present invention, when when this significant character is in the state of effective coverage (below, be called repeat mode), be arranged to give the player special interests.In the present embodiment, the gambling rate is set to 2 times of initial value.The situation that the gambling rate increases by rewriting the gambling rate display field on the picture, just can be notified the player.
, though also be not to be about to reach effective status in the last figure of this figure, the player makes significant character " 24 " move right one by to right row move operation the 3rd row, just can realize being about to reach effective.Figure below of Figure 20 represents to make move right one state of symbol " 24 ".If back symbol " 10 " is drawn, then become as can be known and be about to reach effective status.At this, because significant character " 24 " is not at active position, so the gambling rate is returned initial value.This is because consider, when the player makes under the situation of elected probability rising by the row move operation, does not need still to give special interests.That is, in the significant character repeat mode, allow the player select to obtain high gambling rate, seek elected probability and one of rise by going move operation.
In the recreation scene of reality, these row move operations the 1st~the 3rd ball described later select during certain in the execution or after the execution at them in carry out.
After selecting bingo card, the player carries out the stake (step S103) of medal.The medal of being bet is by 54 management of medal management devices.Usually, the player bets the medal of a certain quantity in advance, from wherein specifying the number of stake.Can certainly in each stake, drop into medal.
At this, when betting at every turn, carry out above-mentioned future and select.Specifically, bonus draw portion 123 detects the medal number of offscale player's stake, surpasses predefinedly when several at each all bet numbers, carries out selecting future.By selecting the advantage that the player is stipulated future.In the present embodiment, every throwing 10 notes carry out 1 future and select.Give the player advantageous conditions by the result who selects like this, but this advantageous conditions in the bingo card of not only the being expert at recreation, is reflected to also in the recreation of many Cabbeens dagger-axe, the accumulation stake recreation.
As the advantage that gives the player, the condition as being given in the Bingo game of being expert at, the recreation of many Cabbeens dagger-axe for example, has the multiplication of gambling rate, the increase of effective coverage number etc.In addition, the advantage as being given in accumulation stake recreation has the increase of effective coverage number etc.
As mentioned above, be under an embargo, begin to select through the stake behind the certain hour.At first, select with 3 and carry out the 1st~3 time symbol with ball and select (step S104).Select, specifically, rotate with fixing speed, provide ball to carry out to the face of rotor 12 from supply hole 11 by making rotor 12.The ball that is provided is rolled to brokenly on the face of rotor 12 and flies to reclaiming unit 13, is accommodated in certain of ball bag 14.The symbol that is dispensed in the ball bag 14 of accommodating ball becomes the significant number relevant with this ball.
The 3rd time select end after, through after the stipulated time, the row change of bingo card be under an embargo (step S105).This stipulated time, when giving the suitable think time of player, be set at suitable length from the viewpoint that shortens whole playtime.For example can be set at for 10~15 seconds.
If through this stipulated time, then to select device 10 and further use 2 to select and use ball, the symbol that carries out the 4th, 5 time is selected (step S106).Select and the step of selecting of step S104 is similarly carried out.
If 4th, the 5th is selected end, then carry out bingo card and whether be in the judgement (step S107) that is about to reach effective status.Whether be in and be about to reach effective status, judge by being about to reach effective identifying unit 1244.Be in (step S107: be) when being about to reach effective status when being judged to be, enter step S109 and carry out the 6th time and select.When being judged to be (step S107: not), enter step S108 and select when not being to be about to reach effective status midway.
What is called is selected midway, was meant before carrying out final selecting, and when player's bingo card is not when being about to reach effective status, be condition with the stake of appending, significant character is increased.For example, the arrangement of Shi Ke effective coverage and significant character from then on sees, if when the symbol that is configured in the ad-hoc location on the matrix being arranged to the next one effectively then become and be about to reach under the effective situation, by appending stake, just can " buy " this symbol.Thus, can not be arranged to be about to reach effective status yet, can before game over, keep player's interest even before final selecting, be in the bingo card that is about to reach effective status.
Then, further describe the order of stake midway.Row Bingo game control module 124 is being shown as the discernible while to the variation of sign of betting object midway that becomes card in display device DS, the number of the stake that demonstration should be added is waited for player's the stake of appending.Row Bingo game control module 124, when stake administrative unit 1246 is confirmed to have appended stake and card administrative unit 1242 be this object variation of sign significant character together.Thus, having become midway, the symbol of the object of stake is presented on the display device DS as significant character.Tou Zhu bet number according to the quantity of having bet, gambling rate etc., is determined aptly by row Bingo game control module 124 midway.That is,, the bet number that requires to append stipulates that at least the player must bet, if height then stipulate to consider whether bet on the other hand if crossing.In addition, about the quantity that the judgement that whether continues to play can also be bet before this.Thereby, for until the entertaining of at last not damaging recreation, be preferably in quantification in the scope that the player is hesitated whether should append stake.
In addition, when should valid symbol having several and can therefrom select under one the situation, if perhaps several symbols are not set to effectively just not have be about to reach under the effective situation together, when making the player show these on the display device DS with discerning, can select whether certain symbol to be bet midway, perhaps whether carry out a plurality of stakes midway.These are selected, by the game management mechanism 100 in input control device 54, the controller CNT, indication information resolution unit 110, game control unit 120 collaborative carrying out.
As described above bingo card is arranged on be about to reach effective status after, by select device 10 use 1 select with ball carry out the 6th time this select (step S109).Select, with step S104,106 to select step identical.
If whole select end, then judge bingo cards whether elected (step S110) by guest's dagger-axe identifying unit 1245.If be judged to be bingo card elected (establishment of guest's dagger-axe) (step S110: be), then on certain payment mouth 42 of the display device DS that shows corresponding bingo card, return play value (step S111).If be judged to be not elected (Bin Ge is false) (step S110: not), then remove the situation that above-mentioned award takes place, do not carry out the return of play value of bingo card.
In the explanation of the control sequence of above line Bingo game, what illustrate is, be arranged to be about to reach the judgement (step S110) of effective judgement (step S107), the establishment of guest's dagger-axe, respectively selecting of the 1st~3 ball carry out back, the 6th ball select execution after carry out, but because of being about to reach effective status and guest's dagger-axe is no matter carry out selecting of which ball, can taking place of all selecting at every turn, so in fact these judgements are carried out when selecting at every turn.
<many Cabbeens dagger-axe recreation 〉
Figure 23 shows the control sequence of many Cabbeens dagger-axe recreation.The recreation of many Cabbeens dagger-axe is undertaken by " many cards " sign that touches display frame on display device DS.
If select many Cabbeens dagger-axe recreation, many Cabbeens dagger-axe game control unit 125 then generates the image of many intrinsic bingo cards to every player, and the display device DS that they is simultaneously displayed on corresponding game person's seat PD respectively goes up (step S201).In the present embodiment, on 1 display device DS, show the image of 4 bingo cards as shown in figure 17.These 4 bingo cards become the bingo card that this player uses.The image of each bingo card is generated by card administrative unit 1251.Each image of bingo card is optionally arranged the symbol of " 1 "~" 25 " as shown in figure 17 on 5 * 5 matrix, the effective coverage can be distinguished with other zones.The effective coverage is set on the different positions in every card in Figure 17, but these 4 capable bingo cards also can all be set on the identical position.In addition, the image of the image of bingo card and row bingo card similarly generates, also and bingo card show the gambling rate simultaneously.The gambling rate is calculated in computing unit 1252.In addition, show that simultaneously recreation such as having bet play value carries out needed information.
If the demonstration bingo card is is then accepted the stake (step S202) from the player.Stake is undertaken by " 10 annotate " on the picture that touches Figure 17 or " 1 annotates ".
