DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a network pachinko system in which a business device and a plurality of game consoles are connected by a network.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Pachinko machines have different degrees of popularity depending on pachinko machines, and popular machines change with fashion. Therefore, the life of recent game consoles is short, and new models appear one after another. Under these circumstances, pachinko parlor owners are forced to replace new machines, but in the conventional pachinko system, the type of game machines is fixed for each game machine, so even if the structure of the game machines is similar, There are few things that can be dealt with by upgrading the software, and in most cases the game console itself must be replaced. In addition, since various types of game consoles are provided in one store, in order to secure pachinko machines of models that are popular with the user side, they are lined up before opening or the game consoles are empty. I had to wait for a long time.

Further, the conventional pachinko system is a system in which a game is played with a predetermined jackpot probability and the number of balls to be set, and it is not possible to set the jackpot probability and the number of balls to the user's preference. For example, it was not possible to change, for example, a small number of payouts but a high probability of large hits, or a low probability of large hits but a large number of payouts per game machine.

Further, in the conventional pachinko system, the jackpot information and payout data of each game console are totaled via a network, and the collected jackpot information and payout data for each game console are provided in an information terminal provided in the pachinko parlor. Was displayed. In addition, there has been an apparatus that displays jackpot information and payout data of each gaming table on a monitor screen or the like installed beside each gaming table. However, in such a conventional pachinko system, in order to obtain information such as jackpot information and payout data of each game machine other than the game machine currently playing, the user has to beside each game machine. You have to look into the set monitor screen or go to a remote information terminal. In a store with few information terminals, the user may have to line up to obtain information.

[0005] Furthermore, while pachinko machines are often played for a long time, users cannot watch other video media and audio media during pachinko games.
In addition, when viewing video media such as public betting such as horse racing, bicycle racing, and boat racing, voting for the public betting cannot be performed.

[0006]

The above-mentioned conventional pachinko system has the following problems. (1) Since the model is fixed for each game console, when changing the model, it is necessary to replace the game console itself, and in order to secure the model that the user wants to play, the user must wait in order. Time was required. (2) It is not possible to set the jackpot probability and the number of payouts according to the user's preference. (3) In order to obtain information such as jackpot information and payout data of each game machine other than the game machine currently playing, the user moves to another game machine or an information terminal provided in the store. Must. (4) Other video media and audio media cannot be viewed during pachinko games. (5) During pachinko games, it is not possible to vote for public betting.

[0007] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a network pachinko system capable of performing a game of a pachinko model selected from a plurality of models on a single game console. Is to provide.

Another object of the present invention is to set the jackpot probability and the number of payouts according to the user's preference, so that the user does not move and each other than the gaming table currently playing.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

(First Embodiment) FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention.
It is a block diagram showing the composition of the network pachinko system of an embodiment. The network pachinko system shown in FIG.
Abbreviated as gaming table 1. ). FIG.
In FIG. 1, only one gaming console 1 is shown, but actually a plurality of gaming consoles 1 are connected to the business entity device 3 via a network. In addition, the company apparatus 3 may be installed in each store one by one, or may be installed as a representative store or independently, by connecting the entire affiliated store with a network.

The gaming table 1 includes a pachinko screen display section 51 having a liquid crystal display device or the like on its surface, a model list requesting means 11, a model name selection inputting means 13, and a lottery requesting means 15. I have.

The business operator device 3 includes a pachinko model list database (DB) 41 and a model list output unit 1.
2, pachinko model information data (DB) 42, model information extracting means 14, reach / big hit lottery means 43,
It comprises a lottery result output unit 22 and a communication unit 31.

The pachinko machine type information DB 42 stores a plurality of programs for realizing a pachinko machine. The pachinko model list DB 41 stores a list of the model names of the pachinko models that can be realized by the programs stored in the pachinko model information DB 42 as a model list.

The model list requesting means 11 is operated by the user and transmits a list request to the business entity apparatus 3 via the communication means 31. Upon receiving the list request from the model list requesting means 11, the model list output means 12 extracts the model list from the pachinko model list DB 41 and outputs the model list via the communication means 31 to the pachinko screen display section 51 of the gaming table 1. Output to

The model name selection input means 13 transmits information for specifying the model selected by the user to the business entity apparatus 3 via the communication means 31. The model information extraction unit 14 stores the model information corresponding to the model specified by the information received from the model name selection input unit 13 in the pachinko model information DB 42.
And transmits the extracted model information to the game console 1.

When the pachinko ball wins the attacker provided on the gaming table 1, the lottery requesting means 15 transmits a lottery request to the business apparatus 3 via the communication means 31. When a lottery request from the lottery requesting means 15 is input, the reach / big hit lottery means 43 calculates information on the model currently selected by the gaming machine 1 and the probability of the reach / big hit according to the selected model. The information is read from the information DB 42, and a lottery is performed to determine whether or not a reach or a big hit is performed according to the read probability. Lottery result output means 16
Is to display the result of the lottery in the reach / big hit lottery means 43 via the communication means 31 in the pachinko screen display unit 5 of the gaming table 1.
Send to 1.

The pachinko screen display section 51 is constituted by a liquid crystal display device or the like, is provided on the entire board of the game console 1, displays a model list received from the business operator device 3, and displays model information from the business operator device 3. Is received, the model information is displayed, and when the lottery result is received from the lottery result output means 16, the lottery result is displayed.

Among the above-mentioned components, the model list requesting means 11, the model list output means 12, the model name selection inputting means 13, the model information extracting means 14, the lottery requesting means 21,
The lottery result output means 22 can be realized by software of a computer, or can be configured by hardware. Pachinko machine list DB
41, the pachinko machine type information DB 42, and the reach / big hit lottery means 43 can be easily realized by ordinary database technology of a computer. The communication means 31 can be realized by an automatic response in the Internet, personal computer communication, or voice communication such as a telephone or a dedicated line.

Next, the operation of the network pachinko system of the above-described embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
