Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention automatically swings a plurality of dice having special shapes, and based on the eyes of the dice produced, a voting ticket such as a bicycle race ticket, a boat race ticket, a horse race betting ticket. The present invention relates to a dice game machine suitable for use in purchase of

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there are known various types of dice game devices which automatically swing a die having a general cubic shape and utilize the roll of the die for an appropriate purpose, and are used for various purposes. ing. For example, it is known that an automatic mahjong table is installed and the vibrator rolls a die.

[0003]

However, the conventional dice game machine uses dice having a general cubic shape, and uses a number other than 1 to 6 for a bicycle race ticket and a boat boat. It could not be used to purchase tickets, voting tickets such as horse racing betting tickets. For example, in a bicycle race, one race is usually contested by nine athletes, and in a horse race,
Normally, the starting gate consists of eight frames. Therefore, to use to purchase voting tickets such as car tickets and betting tickets,
9 and the numbers 1 to 8 were required.

Further, the conventional dice game machine vibrates the dice by a vibrator, and the dice cannot be made to be large and complicated like a person can do. Therefore, depending on the state of the dice placed at the beginning, the probability that the eye will definitely come out fluctuates, and the phenomenon that some eyes tend to come out often occurs, and the randomly appearing eye is used for appropriate purposes. I didn't.

The present invention has been made in view of the problems in the above-mentioned conventional dice game machine, and it is possible to use numbers other than 1 to 6, for example, to purchase a voting ticket such as a car ticket or a horse betting ticket. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a dice game device which can be used also for the above, can make the dice behave large and complicated, and can use the eyes of the dice randomly generated.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a housing having a locking portion for locking the working plate, and a working plate disposed in the housing and having a protrusion. An apparatus main body including a base portion having a spring disposed in the housing for constantly elastically biasing the action plate, a transparent lid portion, and a die having a regular polygonal section. Is a dice game device.

It is preferable that the lid body is hemispherical because the die that collides with the lid body can be made to be larger and more complicated.

If the die is a prism having a regular decagonal cross section and the peripheral surface is engraved or printed with numbers 0 to 9, it can be used when purchasing a bicycle race ticket or the like. It's done and convenient.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Preferred embodiments of the dice game device of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the dice game device 1 of the present invention is composed of a device body 2 and dice 3, and the device body 2 is composed of a base portion 4 and a lid portion 5. It

The base portion 4 is composed of a casing 6, an action plate 7 and a spring 8. The casing 6 is a disc-shaped substrate formed by molding a thin metal plate as shown in FIG. 2B. A cylindrical tubular body 10 formed by molding a thin-walled metal tube is fixed on 9 by welding or the like. The central portion of the substrate 9 is slightly raised upward to form a raised portion 9a, and the upper end portion of the tubular body 10 is
The locking portion 10a is formed by bending inward. In addition, a guide groove 1 extending from the upper end to the lower end is formed on the side surface of the cylindrical body 10.
0b is formed.

As shown in FIG. 2 (A), the action plate 7 has protrusions 7b formed on both sides of the disc portion 7a. When the action plate 7 is placed in the housing 6, the protrusions 7b serve as guides. It is adapted to project outward from the groove 8b.

The lower end of the spring 8 is a raised portion 7a of the substrate 7.
And the working plate 7 is placed on the upper end thereof. Then, in normal times, the upper surface of the action plate 7 contacts the lower surface of the locking portion 8a by the elastic force of the spring 8.

The lid 5 is made of synthetic resin and is formed into a hemispherical shape, and is transparent so that the state of the die 3 and the like inserted therein can be easily visually recognized.

As shown in FIG. 3, the die 3 is a prism having a regular decagonal cross section, and the front surface 3a, the back surface 3b and the peripheral surface 3c are engraved or printed with numbers 0-9. In the dice game machine 1 of the present invention, a plurality of dice 3 are usually used, and particularly three dice are used.

Next, the operation and effect of the dice game machine 1 of the present invention will be described in connection with the case of using it when purchasing a bicycle ticket.

In a bicycle race, normally, one race is contested by nine athletes. There are two ways to vote for tickets
There are several types of methods, such as a consecutive win system that hits the first place and a single win system that hits the first and second place in the order of arrival. In recent years, since the payout rate has increased considerably, a three-game winning single game that hits the first to third places in order of popularity has become popular. However, in the case of a three-game winning series, it is extremely difficult to make it realistic even if you anticipate various factors such as the player's ability and race development. Therefore, it is conceivable to use the dice game machine 1 of the present invention and purchase a car ticket based on the randomly rolled dice 3.

First, three dies 3, 3, are provided on the working plate 7.
3 is placed, but in case of 3 consecutive wins, 1 to 3
Since it is necessary to hit the clothes according to the wearing order, in advance,
It is decided which die 3, 3, 3 corresponds to which wear. For example, it is easy to understand if the colors of the dice 3, 3, 3 are different from each other.

Then, the thumb and the middle finger are applied to the protrusions 7b and 7b of the action plate 7, and the protrusions 7b and 7b are pulled down along the guide groove 8b. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4A, the action plate 7 descends in the housing 6 and presses the spring 8 to compress it.

When the thumb and the middle finger are separated from the projecting portions 7b, 7b of the action plate 7, the spring 8 as shown in FIG. 4 (B).
The action plate 7 is pressed upward by the elastic force of, and instantly rises in the housing 6. The upper surface of the action plate 7 is the locking portion 1.
It collides with 0a.

When the working plate 7 collides with the locking portion 10a, the impact causes the dies 3, 3, 3 to fly up into the air, collide with the inner wall surface of the lid 5, and then drop and roll to cause the working plate. Stand still on 7. Each die when stationary 3,3,3
You can visually check your eyes and decide from the first to the third, and purchase a ticket for a three-game winning series. If you get 0,
I'll try again.

In horse racing, since the starting gate is composed of eight frames, when it is used to purchase a betting ticket, the die is a prismatic body having a regular octagonal cross section, and the front,
Numbers 1 to 8 may be engraved or printed on the back surface and the peripheral surface.

As described above, in the dice game apparatus 1 of the present invention, the dice 3 is a prismatic body having a regular polygonal cross section other than a cube, and the numbers 1 to 9 are engraved or printed on the front surface, the back surface, and the peripheral surface. Therefore, it can be used when purchasing a voting ticket such as a motorcycle ticket, a boat ticket, or a horse racing ticket, which is extremely convenient.

Further, the dice game device 1 of the present invention utilizes the elastic force of the spring 8 to cause the dice 3 to jump up into the air by the impact force when the action plate 7 collides with the locking portion 10a, and the lid is closed. Since the die 3 is made to collide with the inner wall surface of the body 5, the die 3 can be caused to behave in a large and complicated manner, and any eye can be randomly produced with substantially the same probability.
