Description

  The present invention relates to a voting ticket purchase device for betting that predicts a winning / losing order, bets on a numerical value indicating the predicted order, and aims to make a profit, such as a winning voting ticket for a horse race.

  The voting ticket release terminal currently on the racetrack, etc., decides what he / she wants to bet on, then paints the information on the voting card (mark card), inserts it into the voting ticket release terminal, pays the amount, and wins the horse. Voting tickets are issued.

  When purchasing a voting ticket such as a horse race or a bicycle race, when a person who is not familiar with gambling purchases such a voting ticket, it may be difficult to know which one to bet on.

  Also, even those who are familiar with betting are wondering which to bet on and may want to buy it for luck. Even if you roll a dice or pencil to determine the eye, that is, the number, you need to fill it in (mark card).

  For example, taking a horse race as an example, at present, the user wants to buy a mark card and purchases it at a voting ticket vending machine. In this case, it is essential to fill in the mark card even if you want to buy it properly.

There is a voting processing device that uses a random number when it is desired to buy it for luck (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-73465 (pages 8 to 9 and FIGS. 1 to 3)

  This is a home voting terminal that purchases voting tickets at home, and when the first race hits, the dividend is carried over to the next and subsequent voting and can be purchased once. It cannot be applied to anything.

  Therefore, even if you purchase a one-time voting ticket, if you want to place a bet by carrying it, you can have the slot display function on the release terminal and stop the slot without filling in the mark card. It is to provide a slot voting device capable of determining eyes.

  In order to solve this problem, the present invention is configured as shown in the following (1) to (3).

(1) a voting information input unit for inputting voting information;
An information display for selection, a slot start display, a slot stop display, and a display unit for displaying a random number indicating a slot indicating a selection number;
A storage unit for holding a horse number table and a frame number table;
A random number generator for generating a random number corresponding to the slot;
A slot voting apparatus comprising a main control unit for performing voting ticket issue processing based on a number displayed in a slot.

(2) a voting card reading unit for reading voting information entered on the voting card;
A slot indicating the selected number is displayed as a random number, a display unit for displaying the start of this slot and a stop display of the slot,
A storage unit for holding a horse number table and a frame number table;
A random number generator for generating a random number corresponding to the slot;
A slot voting apparatus comprising a main control unit for performing voting ticket issue processing based on a number displayed in a slot.

(3) A slot indicating the selected number is displayed as a random number, and a display unit for starting and displaying the slot and for displaying a stop of the slot;
A slot table for holding the numbers displayed by the slots, a win / double win table for designating either a win or a win, and a storage unit for holding a horse number / frame number table for designating either a horse number or a frame number ,
A random number generator for generating random numbers corresponding to the slots;
A slot voting apparatus comprising a main control unit for performing discrimination control for discriminating voting ticket types based on information entered in a slot table.

  1. In the current system, voting tickets cannot be purchased unless all purchases are marked, but even if not all are entered, only the amount and expression are entered, and the number information (numerical information) of the winning horse is lost in the slot. Therefore, it is possible to purchase a voting ticket without using a mark card.

  2. The slot selection items can be entered on the mark card, and wherever you get lost, you can identify the input at the slot, so you can purchase voting tickets without hesitation even if you use the mark card.

  3. If you enter the amount with a mark card, you can purchase voting tickets without hesitation using the slot method and random number method.

  When the user decides what he / she wants to bet on, the sale terminal device installed in the current racetrack or the like applies the information to the voting card and inserts it into the sale terminal device, and pays the amount to issue a voting ticket. This sales terminal device is usually equipped with a liquid crystal operation screen. In the present invention, this has a slot function.

  In other words, a terminal device that sells voting tickets is provided with a display unit for selecting and displaying the selection according to the formula and the arrival order of the slot configuration, and after inputting the amount of the voting ticket to be purchased, the number according to the formula (for example, single win) 1st slot, 2 consecutive 1st and 2nd slots for horses, 1st, 2nd and 3rd slots for wide). When the user touches a stop button provided on the display unit corresponding to the slot after driving, the slot stops and a random number is displayed. Therefore, a voting ticket is purchased based on the information after the stop of the slot.

  An example in which the present invention is applied to horse racing will be described below.

  A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the first embodiment, the user does not use a voting ticket. FIG. 1 is a display screen according to the first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of a terminal device according to the first embodiment, and FIG.

  In the figure, 1 is a display unit, 2 is a main control unit, 3 is a storage unit, 4 is a random number generation unit, 5 is a voting information input unit, 6 is an input unit, and 7 is a communication control unit.

  The display unit 1 includes an input amount display part 1-0 for inputting an amount for purchasing a voting ticket in a terminal device for selling voting tickets (hereinafter referred to as a terminal device), information on the type of voting ticket to be purchased, A selection button for inputting horse number and frame number information, a slot display portion 1-1 for displaying the horse number and frame number of a voting ticket to be purchased, and the like are provided. The display unit 1 is characteristic of the first embodiment and will be described in detail later.

  The main control unit 2 controls various processes such as random number display processing, voting ticket issuance processing, and expression-specific determination processing in the terminal device, and is controlled based on a program held in the storage unit 3. Configured by a processor.

  The storage unit 3 holds programs and data necessary for operating the main control unit 2, and creates and holds a horse number table 3-1, a frame number table 3-2 and the like which will be described later.

  The random number generation unit 4 determines a number generated in the slot display portion by a random number, and receives a slot start / stop signal.

  The voting information input unit 5 is used to input information necessary for voting such as a single win, a double win, a double, a triple, a horse number, a frame number, and the like necessary for determining the type. These pieces of information are selectively displayed as a single button 10, a double button 11, a double button 12, a triple button 13, a horse number button 14, and a frame number button 15 which are selection buttons displayed in the slot display portion 1-1. Is input by touching and the formula is determined as will be described later.

  In addition to the information input from the selection button, the input unit 6 is used to input information necessary for voting ticket sales, for example, purchase price information. In order to input the purchase amount, the terminal device is provided with a purchase amount input port (not shown) and a deposit display portion 1-0. The deposit display portion 1-0 includes numbers 1 to 9, 10,000, thousands, hundreds, etc., and when the user inputs money from an amount insertion slot (not shown) and selects this display section, for example, “ If “2” and “1000” are touched, the purchase amount of 2000 yen is determined and displayed as the purchase amount.

  The communication control unit 7 controls communication between the terminal device and a host (not shown), and transmits voting ticket purchase information or receives odds information.

  First, the characteristic selection button of the present invention will be described. In order to purchase a voting ticket, it is necessary to select either a win or a horse or a formula for that. There are only public horse races, but there are some that are not in central horse races, so that many formulas can be selected with a few selection buttons, and it is expected that it will be released in the future although it is not currently released There are some, so it is desirable to be able to cope with them. Accordingly, in the first embodiment, “single win”, “double win”, “2 consecutive”, “3 consecutive” are provided as selection buttons according to formula, and “horse number”, “frame number” are provided as horse number / frame number selection buttons. The case will be described. When actually purchasing a voting ticket, a “race number”, “place name”, etc. are also necessary, but these are simple selections and are omitted for the sake of simplicity.

  a. When only “win” is touched, the first horse is hit, and if the start button 16 is pressed, one slot 20 moves. Alternatively, only one may be displayed. When the stop button 17 corresponding to the slot 20 is pressed, the slot 20 displays a number by a random number display and stops.

  b. This is the case where a single horse that hits the first or second horse is selected when touching “Success” or “Two consecutive”, and if the start button 16 is pressed, the slot moves in two directions 20 and 21, and then stops. Slot numbers do not display the same as the previously stopped slot numbers. Only two slots may be displayed.

  c. When “Twin” or “Triple” is touched, this is the case of selecting a single triple (currently only a public horse race) that hits the first, second and third horses in the order of arrival. For example, three slots 20, 21, and 22 move, and the next slot does not give the same number as the previously stopped slot.

  d. When only “double win” is touched, one of the first to third horses is hit. When the start button 16 is pressed, one of the slots, for example, the slot 20 moves.

  e. Touching “double win” and “2 reams” is the case of selecting the 1st, 2nd or 2nd or 1st horses, and if the start button 16 is pressed, the slots are 20, 21 One moves and does not give the same number as the previously stopped slot. Only two slots may be displayed.

  f. If you touch “double win” or “triple”, you can select the “triple double” that hits the first, second, and third horses regardless of the order of arrival. If pushed, three slots 20, 21, and 22 will move, and the next number will not be the same as the previously stopped slot.

  g. If “horse number” is touched, the number displayed in the slot is the number of running horses. For example, when 12 horses run, a number of 12 or less is displayed, but a number of 13 or more does not appear.

  h. If you touch "Frame number", the number displayed in the slot will be the number of frames. For example, if “2” and “frame number” are touched, the frame number wins, that is, the case where a frame sequence is selected, the number displayed in the slot does not exceed 8.

  As described above, when the selection by the selection button is completed, the slot is started by the start button.

  In the case of horse racing, since there are 8 running frames, the division is performed when the number of running horses is 9 or more. For example, in the case of nine horses, horses 1 to 7 are assigned one by one up to 1 to 7 frames, and horses 8 and 9 are assigned to 8 frames.

  Next, the slot display portion 1-1 will be described. The slot display portion 1-1 includes a winning button 10 which is a selection button for each formula, a double winning button 11, a two consecutive button 12, a three consecutive button 13, a horse number button 14, a frame number button 15, a start button 16, and a stop button 17. , 18, 19, a cancel button 23, a return button 24, and slots 20, 21, 22.

  Then, the slots 20 to 22 are selected by the number corresponding to the formula selected by one or more touches of the win button 10 to the frame number button 15, and the number of slots selected by the touch of the start button 16 is operated. . When the slot is started, a stop button (stop button 17 for the slot 20) corresponding to the slot is touched to stop the slot 20, and a numerical value to be purchased is displayed as a random number. Finally, the numerical value to be purchased is as shown in the thick frame in FIG. The cancel button 23 cancels the numerical value in the bold frame when the user is dissatisfied so that the user can select it again. The back button 24 re-selects the numerical value within the bold frame. Touch to select the one to cancel.

  In the example of FIG. 1, it is shown that numerical values in three vertical columns are flowing. After displaying the upper numerical value, the interrupted numerical value is displayed, and then the lower numerical value is displayed. By doing this at high speed, the numerical value appears to flow from the top to the bottom.

  Alternatively, the upper numerical value is displayed as a random number, the same numerical value is interrupted, and the lower numerical value is displayed. Alternatively, all the numerical values are displayed in random numbers, and when the middle stage number is determined, the upper stage displays a numerical value one less than the middle stage, and the lower stage displays a numerical value one more than the middle stage. The slot screen may be not only a numerical value but also a picture related to the betting.

  The operation of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the terminal device according to the first embodiment, a horse number table 3-1 and a frame number table 3-2 are sent from the center in advance for each race, as shown in FIG. Is done. Then, the terminal device will explain an example of a round sale in which a voting ticket for the next race is released.

A. For a win,
When purchasing a winning voting ticket, the user inserts a purchase amount by inserting a bill or a coin through an amount insertion slot (not shown) and touching the amount display mark on the deposit display portion 1-0. This purchase price information is input from the input unit 6, temporarily held, and then the voting ticket to be purchased is selected by formula.

  S1. When purchasing a winning voting ticket, the user selects and touches the winning button 10 shown in the slot display portion 1-1 of FIG. As a result, it is input from the voting information input unit 5 shown in FIG. 2 that the win button 10 has been touched, and this information is transmitted to the main control unit 2 to recognize that each formula is a win.

  S2. Next, the user touches the start button 16.

  S3. Thereby, the main control unit 2 refers to the horse number table 3-1 and recognizes that the number of running horses is 18.

  S4. Then, the random number generator 4 is controlled by the fact that each expression is a win, and the random number generator 4 recognizes that the maximum number of random numbers to be generated is 18 and the number of slots to be driven is 1. For example, the slot 20 is driven.

  S5. The user touches the stop button 17 after driving the slot 20.

  S6. As a result, the random number generation unit 4 displays one of the numbers shown in the horse number table 3-1, for example, “3” as a random number and stops the slot 20. This is notified to the main control unit 2, and a flag is set in the corresponding number column in the horse number table 3-1.

  S7. Then, the main control unit 2 transmits ticket purchase data, that is, “single win” for each expression and “3” for the horse number to the host from the communication control unit 7.

  S8. On the other hand, when an acknowledgment response transmitted from the host is received, the main control unit 2 recognizes this in the terminal device.

  S9. Then, the ticket issuing process is performed based on the ticket issuing data. At this time, if a change such as change is required for the user, it is refunded together with the voting ticket.

B. In the case of a horse race When purchasing a ballot ticket for a horse race, the user selects a voting ticket to be purchased after depositing the purchase amount in the same manner as in the case of the win.

  S1. When purchasing a betting ticket for a horse run, the user selects and touches the win button 10, the double button 12, and the horse number button 14 shown in the slot display portion 1-1 of FIG. As a result, it is input from the voting information input unit 5 in FIG. 2 that the winning button 10, the double button 12, and the horse number button 14 have been touched, and this information is transmitted to the main control unit 2, where It is recognized that there is.

  S2. Next, the user touches the start button 16.

  S3. Thereby, the main control unit 2 refers to the horse number table 3-1 and recognizes that the number of running horses is 18.

  S4. Also, as described above, the random number generator 4 is controlled by the fact that the expression is a horse run, etc., and the maximum value of the random number to be generated is 18 and the number of slots to be driven is 2, For example, the slots 20 and 21 are driven.

  S5. The user first touches the stop button 17 of the first slot 20.

  S6. As a result, the random number generation unit 4 displays one of the numbers shown in the horse number table 3-1, for example, “3” as a random number and stops the slot 20.

  S7. This “3” is notified to the main control unit 2, and a flag (1) is set in the corresponding number column in the horse number table 3-1.

  S8. Next, the user touches the stop button 18 of the second slot 21.

  S9. As a result, the random number generation unit 4 displays one of the numbers shown in the horse number table 3-1, one of the horse number numbers in which the flag (1) of S 7 is not set, for example, “16”, and displays the slot 21. Stop. This is notified to the main control unit 2, and a flag (2) is set in the corresponding number column in the horse number table 3-1. In this way, the horse number “3-16” in the case where the expression is a horse run is obtained.

  In this way, when the formulas and horse numbers are selected and determined, these ticketing data are transmitted to the host in the same manner as in S7 to S9 in the case of the win. When the approval response is received from the host, the release terminal device performs the ticket issuing process based on the ticket issuing data.

C. In the case of framed frames When purchasing voting tickets for framed frames, the user selects the type of voting ticket to be purchased after depositing the purchase amount in the same manner as in the case of the win and horse-run.

  S1. When purchasing a frame-linked voting ticket, the user selects and touches the double win button 11, the double button 12, and the frame number button 15 shown in the slot display portion 1-1 of FIG. As a result, it is input from the voting information input unit 5 in FIG. 2 that these double win button 11, the double button 12, and the frame number button 15 have been touched, and this information is transmitted to the main control unit 2 so It is recognized that it is a frame series.

  S2. Next, the user touches the start button 16.

  S3. Accordingly, the main control unit 2 recognizes that the frame number is 8 with reference to the frame number table 3-2.

  S4. In addition, as described above, the random number generator 4 is controlled by the fact that each expression is a frame series, and the maximum number of random numbers to be generated is 8 and the number of slots to be driven is 2. For example, the slots 20 and 21 are driven.

  S5. The user first touches the stop button 17 of the first slot 20.

  S6. As a result, the random number generation unit 4 displays one of the frame number numbers shown in the frame number table 3-2, for example, “5” as a random number, and stops the slot 20. Then, “5” is notified to the main control unit 2, and the flag (3) shown in FIG. 3D is set in the corresponding number column in the frame number table 3-2.

  S7. Next, the user touches the stop button 18 of the second slot 21.

  S8. As a result, the random number generation unit 4 displays one of the numbers shown in the frame number table 3-2, for example, “5” as a random number and stops the slot 21. This is notified to the main control unit 2, and a flag (4) shown in FIG. 3 (D) is set in the corresponding number column in the frame number table 3-2. In this case, the second frame number may be the same frame number as the flag number before the random number display in S6. In this way, the frame number “5-5” is obtained in the case where the expression is a frame series.

  In this way, when the formulas and frame numbers are selected and determined, these ticketing data are transmitted to the host, similar to S7 to S9 in the case of a single win. When the approval response is received from the host, the release terminal device performs the ticket issuing process based on the ticket issuing data.

  A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the first embodiment, a selection button is used to input a formula, but in the second embodiment, a voting card which is a mark card without a selection button on the screen for shortening the release time. This is a case where a slot column is provided in such as to purchase a voting ticket such as a winning horse voting ticket.

  4 is an example of a voting card used in the second embodiment, FIG. 5 is a configuration diagram of a terminal device of the second embodiment, FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram of a display screen, and FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram of an operation of the second embodiment.

  In the figure, the same symbols as those in the other figures indicate the same parts, 30 is a voting card, 31 is a voting card reading unit, and 32 is a display unit.

  In order to purchase a voting ticket, the voting card 30 is filled with a race number, a formula type, a horse number or a frame number, a purchase price, and the like. In the present invention, an arrival order mark column (slot is indicated by S in FIG. 4) including a slot mark indicating that a horse number or a frame number is selected in a slot is entered, and 1 in the first to third columns. The S is entered in addition to the numbers of -18. Numbers such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 30 are entered in the amount column, units of 10,000 yen, thousand yen, and hundred yen are entered in the unit column, and numbers and units in the amount column The voting ticket purchase amount is determined by selecting a combination of units in the column.

  The voting card reading unit 31 reads the voting card entered by the user, reads data such as races, expressions, arrival order mark fields, amounts, and units, and sends them to the main control unit 2. These data are decoded by the main control unit 2, and control based on the data is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, the display unit 32 displays the start button 16, stop buttons 17, 18, 19, slots 20, 21, 22, cancel button 23, etc. as an initial screen and fills in the voting card 30. The slot to be driven is determined according to the selection of the slot S.

  First, the display state of the display unit 32 will be described. When the user does not insert the voting card 30 into the terminal device, an initial screen as shown in FIG. 6 (A) is displayed.

  Next, if the user inserts a voting card marked with “3 races” as the race name, “3 singles” as the formula, and “3-5-S” as the arrival order into the terminal device, the first place is the horse number. “3”, second place is determined by horse number “5”, and third place is determined by the slot 22, and the display screen shown in FIG. In this case, 1st and 2nd are selected as “3-5”, and only slot 3 is displayed as a slot, so slots 20 and 21 are stopped with “3-5” displayed, and only slot 22 is driven. A stop button 19 is displayed.

  If the stop button 19 is touched in this driving state, for example, a numerical value “8” selected by a random number is displayed in the slot 22, and the slot 22 stops. As a result, “3-5-8” is selected.

  In the example of the voting card shown in FIG. 4, when “3 races”, “triple single”, and “SSSS” are marked, slots 20, 21, and 22 are driven from 1st to 3rd this time. As shown in FIG. 6C, the slots 20, 21, and 22 are driven, and a display screen on which the stop buttons 20, 21, and 22 are displayed is displayed.

  In the example of the voting card shown in FIG. 4, if “3 races”, “triple single”, “2-S-16” are marked, the first place is horse number “2”, the second place is the slot, and the third place is The horse number “16” is determined. Only the slot 21 is driven, the slot 20 indicates “2”, the slot 22 indicates “16”, and the slot 21 is displayed as driven, as shown in FIG. Then, a display screen on which the stop button 21 is also displayed. In this case, the first and third places are displayed as “2” and “16” determined by the user, and the second place is determined by the slot.

  The operation of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 (A) explains the case of a horse run as an expression, and FIG. 7 (B) explains the case of a frame run. Similarly to the first embodiment, the terminal device has a horse number table 3-1 and a frame number table 3-2 sent in advance from the center for each race. Since both the horse run and the frame run are for selecting the horse number and frame number of the first and second horses, the ballot card having the blank for the third place in the ballot card shown in FIG. 4 is used.

A. In the case of Maren (Fig. 7 (A))
S1. The user inserts a voting card into which the voting card is issued, that is, a race number, a formula (mare), a purchase amount, and a slot S or the like for each of the first and second garments, into an automatic machine that issues a voting ticket, that is, a terminal device. .

  S2. In the terminal device, the voting card reading unit 31 reads information entered on the voting card, displays the information on the display unit 32, and notifies the main control unit 2 of the information.

  S3. Thus, the main control unit 2 recognizes that both first and second slots are slot selections, and the display unit 32 displays a slot corresponding to two slots and two stop buttons. Display control of the display screen.

  S4. Next, the user touches the start button.

  S5. Thereby, the main control unit 2 refers to the horse number table 3-1 and recognizes that the number of running horses is 18.

  S6. Further, the random number generator 4 is controlled by the fact that the expression is a horse run, etc., so that the maximum value of the random number to be generated is 18 and the number of slots to be driven is 2. Drive.

  S7. First, the user touches a stop button of a first slot, for example, a slot for selecting a worn horse number.

  S8. As a result, the random number generation unit 4 displays one of the horse number numbers shown in the horse number table 3-1, for example, “3” as a random number, and stops one worn slot.

  S9. The displayed random number “3” is notified to the main control unit 2, and a flag (1) is set in the corresponding number column in the horse number table 3-1, as shown in FIG. 7C.

  S10. As described above, slots are driven by the number of slots S entered in the voting card. In the case of a horse run, if either 1st or 2nd is selected, random number display by stopping the driving of the slot is performed only in one slot where 1st or 2nd is not selected. In this example, since the slot S is written in both the first and second places, the random number display of the second horse number by the stop of the second slot is performed in the same manner as described above. In this case, for the second number, one number, for example, the number “16”, for example, is selected from the horse number numbers in which the flag (1) of the horse number table 3-1 is not set, as shown in FIG. The flag (2) is set in the horse number table 3-1.

  When the horse number is selected and determined in this way, the ticketing data such as the race name, the type, the horse number (in this example, “3-16”), the purchase amount, etc. are transmitted to the host, and an acknowledgment response is received from the host. Then, ticketing processing is performed.

B. In the case of frame linkage (Fig. 7 (B))
S1. The user inserts a voting card in which the voting card is filled with the race number, the formula (framework), the purchase price, and the slot S and the like as the first and second place into an automatic machine that releases voting tickets, that is, a terminal device To do.

  S2. In the terminal device, the voting card reading unit 31 reads information entered on the voting card, displays the information on the display unit 32, and notifies the main control unit 2 of the information.

  S3. Thus, the main control unit 2 recognizes that both first and second slots are slot selections, and the display unit 32 displays a slot corresponding to two slots and two stop buttons. Display control of the display screen.

  S4. Next, the user touches the start button.

  S5. Accordingly, the main control unit 2 recognizes that the frame number is 8 with reference to the frame number table 3-2.

  S6. Then, the random number generation unit 4 is controlled by the fact that each expression is a frame series, etc., so that the maximum value of the random number to be generated is 8 and the number of slots to be driven is 2, Drive.

  S7. First, the user touches a stop button of a first slot, for example, a slot for selecting a frame number for wearing one.

  S8. As a result, the random number generation unit 4 displays one of the frame number numbers shown in the frame number table 3-2, for example, “5” as a random number, and stops the slot in which one is worn. The displayed random number “5” is notified to the main control unit 2, and a flag (3) is set in the corresponding number column in the frame number table 3-2 as shown in FIG.

  S9. As described above, slots are driven by the number of slots S entered in the voting card. In the case of the frame series, if one of the first and second places is selected, the random number display by stopping the driving of the slot is performed only in one slot where the first or second place is not selected. In this example, since the slot S is written in both the first and second places, the second frame number random number display by stopping the second slot is performed in the same manner as described above. In this case, “2” is selected as the second number by a random number, and a flag (4) is set in the frame number table 3-2 as shown in FIG. 7C. In the case of frame series, the second random number may be the same frame number as the first random number.

  When the frame number is selected and determined in this way, the ticket issuing data such as the race name, the expression type, the frame number, the purchase amount, etc. are transmitted to the host, and the ticket issuing process is performed when an acknowledgment response is received from the host.

  A third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the third embodiment, not only the numbers in the order of arrival but also the expressions are left to the slots, that is, all the votes are left to the slots.

  8 is an explanatory diagram of a display screen of the third embodiment, FIG. 9 is a configuration diagram of the third embodiment, FIG. 10 is an operation explanatory diagram of the third embodiment (part 1), and FIG. 11 is an operation explanatory diagram of the third embodiment (part 2). FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the third embodiment (No. 3).

  In the figure, the same symbols as those in the other figures indicate the same parts, 40 is a storage part, 41 is a display part, 50 is a horse number / frame number slot, and 51 is a win / double win slot.

  The storage unit 40 is provided with a slot table 40-1, a winning / double winning table 40-2, and a horse number / frame number table 40-3. These tables are sent in advance from a host (not shown). It is.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the display unit 41 includes a start number, a stop button 17 to 19, a slot 20 to 22, a horse number / frame number slot 50 for displaying a horse number or a frame number in random numbers outside the cancel button 23, a win A win / double win slot 51 for displaying a random win is displayed.

  Example 3 will be described below in the case of a turn-sell where only the next race is purchased from a terminal device, where all the formulas and numbers are left to the slots. The amount is deposited in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

  In the third embodiment, the slots 20 to 22 are stopped, and classification is performed as follows according to numbers displayed by random numbers.

a. When all the numbers are the same For example, when 1-1-1 is displayed, the horse number win is “1”.

b. When there is an overlap in numbers For example, when 1-1-2 is displayed, the horse number or frame number is “1 → 2”.
When 2-1-2 is displayed, two or more horse numbers or frame numbers “1 = 2” are displayed.
When 2-1-1 is displayed, the horse number or frame number is “2 → 1”.

c. When there is no duplication of numbers For example, when 3-5-8 is displayed, the horse number triple series “3 → 5 → 8”
Or, the horse number 3 is “3 = 5 = 8”.

d. Display of frame number or horse number For example, when “2-1-1” in b is displayed, it is necessary to determine whether it is a horse number or a frame number. In this case, when the third slot 22 is stopped, the display “horse number” or “frame number” of the horse number / frame number slot 50 is determined and displayed with a random number. In this case, when a number greater than or equal to the frame is present, it cannot be a frame number, so “horse number” is displayed.

e. Display of Win or Win Win For example, when “3-5-8” in c is displayed, it is necessary to determine win or win. In this case, when the third slot 22 is stopped, a single win / double win is determined by a random number, and this is displayed in the single win / double win slot 51.

  The operation of the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 10 illustrates the operation when the numbers of the slots 20 to 22 are all the same, FIG. 11 illustrates the operation when the numbers of the slots 20 to 22 are overlapping, and FIG. 12 illustrates the operation when the numbers of the slots 20 to 22 are not overlapping.

A. When the slot numbers are all the same (Figure 10)
S1. After the user inputs the purchase amount, the start button 16 is touched.

  S2. As a result, the main control unit 2 refers to the slot table 40-1 of the storage unit 40 and recognizes that the number of running horses is 18.

  S3. Then, the main control unit 2 controls the activation of the random number generation unit 4 so that each slot is driven.

  S4. First, the user touches the stop button 17 of the first slot in the wearing order, for example, the slot 20 worn by one.

  S5. As a result, the random number generator 4 displays one random number referenced from the slot table 40-1 and stops the slot 20. Thereby, for example, the number “17” with the flag (1) set in the slot table 40-1 in FIG. 10B is displayed in the slot 20.

  S6. Next, the user touches the stop button 18 of the second slot 21.

  S7. As a result, the random number generation unit 4 displays one number referenced from the slot table 40-1 as a random number and stops. As a result, the number “17” is displayed in the slot 21 and the flag (2) is set in the slot table 40-1.

  S8. Then, the user touches the stop button 19 of the third slot 22.

  S9. As a result, the random number generation unit 4 displays one number referenced from the slot table 40-1 as a random number and stops. As a result, the number “17” is displayed in the slot 22 and the flag (3) is set in the slot table 40-1.

  S10. As a result, three flags are set on the same number.

  S11. By the way, when the third number is stopped and displayed in the slot 22, either the winning or winning win is stopped and displayed in the winning or winning slot 50.

  S12. In this case, since there are different winning formulas that can be purchased with a combination of numbers such as “17-17-17” in a state where the same numbers are consecutive, the main control unit 2 determines that it is a double winning, A flag (4) is set in the item of double win in the single win / double win table 40-2, and in this case, it is displayed that it is a double win. As a result, the win / win slot 50 is displayed with a win and stops.

  S13. Next, the user touches a stop button for a horse number / frame number slot not shown in FIG.

  S14. As a result, the main control unit 2 recognizes that the flag number “17” exceeds the frame number, for example, “8”, and determines that it is a horse number, not a frame number, and a horse number / frame number table. A flag (5) is set in the horse number section 40-3.

  S15. The horse number / frame number slot 50 displays a horse number and stops.

  S16. In S13, if the flagged number does not exceed the number of frames, the frame number is displayed.

  When the numbers and the numbers are determined in this way, ticketing data including the purchase amount is transmitted to the host, and ticketing processing is performed when an acknowledgment response is received from the host.

B. When there are duplicate numbers (Figure 11)
S1. After the user inputs the purchase amount, the start button 16 is touched.

  S2. As a result, the main control unit 2 refers to the slot table 40-1 of the storage unit 40 and recognizes that the number of running horses is 18.

  S3. Then, the main control unit 2 controls the activation of the random number generation unit 4 so that each slot is driven.

  S4. First, the user touches the stop button 17 of the first slot in the wearing order, for example, the slot 20 worn by one.

  S5. As a result, the random number generator 4 displays one random number referenced from the slot table 40-1 and stops the slot 20. Thereby, for example, the number “17” with the flag (6) set in the slot table 40-1 of FIG.

  S6. Next, the user touches the stop button 18 of the second slot 21.

  S7. As a result, the random number generation unit 4 displays one number referenced from the slot table 40-1 as a random number and stops. As a result, the number “8” is displayed in the slot 21 and the flag (7) is set in the slot table 40-1.

  S8. Then, the user touches the stop button 19 of the third slot 22.

  S9. As a result, the random number generation unit 4 displays one number referenced from the slot table 40-1 as a random number and stops. As a result, the number “17” is displayed in the slot 22 and the flag (8) is set in the slot table 40-1.

  S10. As a result, if the first number and the third number are the same, the main control unit 2 sets a flag (9) in the item of double win in the single win / double win table 40-2 and displays the double win The win / double win slot 51 is displayed as a double win and stopped. As a result, the formula is doubled.

  S11. However, if the first and second numbers are the same or the second and third numbers are the same in S9, the main control unit 2 flags the winning item in the winning and winning table 40-2. The win is displayed, and the win / double win slot 51 is displayed as a win and stopped.

  S12. Next, the user touches a stop button for a horse number / frame number slot not shown in FIG.

  S13. As a result, the main control unit 2 recognizes that the flag number “17” exceeds the frame number 8, and determines that it is not a frame number but a horse number, and the horse number / frame number table 40- A flag (10) is set in the third horse number section.

  S14. As a result, the horse number / frame number slot 50 stops displaying the horse number. In this case, the formula is a single horse, that is, a double series.

  S15. If the number with the flag in S12 does not exceed the number of frames, either the frame number or the horse number may be displayed and stopped.

  When the numerical value is determined for each formula in this way, ticketing data including the purchase amount is transmitted to the host, and ticketing processing is performed when an acknowledgment response is received from the host.

C. When there are no duplicate numbers (Figure 12)
S1. After the user inputs the purchase amount, the start button 16 is touched.

  S2. Accordingly, the main control unit 2 recognizes that the number of runners is 18 with reference to the slot table 40-1 of the storage unit 40.

  S3. Then, the main control unit 2 controls the activation of the random number generation unit 4 so that each slot is driven.

  S4. First, the user touches the stop button 17 of the first slot in the wearing order, for example, the slot 20 worn by one.

  S5. As a result, the random number generator 4 displays one random number referenced from the slot table 40-1 and stops the slot 20. Thus, for example, the number “18” with the flag (11) set in the slot table 40-1 of FIG.

  S6. Next, the user touches the stop button 18 of the second slot 21.

  S7. As a result, the random number generation unit 4 displays one number referenced from the slot table 40-1 as a random number and stops. As a result, the number “2” is displayed in the slot 21 and a flag (12) is set in the slot table 40-1.

  S8. Then, the user touches the stop button 19 of the third slot 22.

  S9. As a result, the random number generation unit 4 displays one number referenced from the slot table 40-1 as a random number and stops. As a result, the number “8” is displayed in the slot 22, and the flag (13) is set in the slot table 40-1.

  S10. As a result, the number of the first slot 20, the number of the second slot 21, and the number of the third slot 22 are displayed as different numbers.

  S 11. When the number “18” is stopped and displayed, the main control unit 2 stops and displays either the winning or winning win in the winning or winning slot 50.

  S12. In this case, the random number generation unit 4 displays either a single win or a double win as a random number. For example, a double win is displayed, and a flag (14) is set in the double win section of the single win / double win table 40-2 in FIG.

  S13. Next, the user touches a stop button for a horse number / frame number slot not shown in FIG.

  S14. As a result, the main control unit 2 recognizes that the number “18” with the flag (11) exceeds the number of frames, for example, “8”, determines that it is a horse number, not a frame number. A flag (15) is set in the horse number section of the frame number table 40-3.

  S15. The horse number / frame number slot 50 displays the horse number and stops.

  S16. If the number with the flag in S13 does not exceed the number of frames, either the frame number or the horse number may be displayed and stopped.

  In this way, formulas such as triples by formula (single win at S12, exceeding the number of frames at S14) or triples are determined.

  When the number for each formula is determined, ticketing data including the purchase amount is transmitted to the host, and ticketing processing is performed when an acknowledgment response is received from the host.

  In the above description, the example of selecting the set number first has been described. However, according to the present invention, the formula number may be selected first. For example, when “horse number” appears in the selection by formula, an arbitrary numerical value is displayed in the slot.

  However, when “frame number” appears in the selection by formula, the set number in the slot is displayed with the number of frames (for example, 8) or less.

  Also, when a horse is canceled, a message is received from the host. This is entered in the table of the terminal device, and if the number of the horse whose start is canceled is selected in the slot, it is selected again.

  Next, the flow of data between the host and the terminal device will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the terminal device is preferably configured so that the user can designate the slot portion from the display screen of the terminal device, that is, the voting ticket vending machine, and the voting card can be used as shown in FIG. Therefore, S1 to S4 in FIG. 13 show the case where the user designates the slot portion, and S6 to S8 show the case where the voting card is used.

  S1. On the sales machine, that is, the terminal device, the user touches a selection button on the display screen as shown in FIG. 1, and a slot corresponding to the selection button is designated.

  S2. As a result, a slot screen is displayed. For example, two slots are displayed.

  S3. The user touches the start button to drive the slot, and touches the stop button to display the slot in random numbers.

  S4. In this way, the eyes are determined.

  S5. In the terminal device, when the eyes are determined, the voting ticket purchase amount information and the voting information are sent to the host. A ticket is issued when an acknowledgment response is received from the host.

  S6. When using a mark card, that is, a voting card, the user enters necessary items on the mark card.

  S7. The mark card is put on the terminal device.

  S8. The terminal device reads this mark card and checks whether the slot mark S has been entered. If there is no entry in the slot mark S, the process proceeds to S5 and a ticket issuing process is performed. If the slot mark S is entered, the process proceeds to S2, and the operations of S3, S4, and S5 are performed according to the slot, and the ticket issuing process is performed based on the determined eye.

  In addition, although the said description was mainly demonstrated based on the type | formula with respect to the voting ticket of a Central Horse Racing Association, this invention is not limited to this, It is applicable also to public horse racing and other types of voting tickets other than a horse race. is there.
