Description

  The present invention relates to a roulette game machine.

Conventionally, there is a medal game machine as a game machine installed in a corner of a game center or a shopping center. This medal game machine includes a horse racing game machine, a card game machine, a roulette game machine, and the like. Each game machine plays using a special medal.
In the roulette game machine, a dedicated medal is inserted into the machine, and a number selection button provided in each play corner is operated to press a number button corresponding to a number likely to win. Then, the roulette wheel rotates and the ball rolls in the roulette wheel. When the rotation of the roulette wheel is weakened and the ball is accommodated and held in any groove in the roulette wheel, it is determined whether or not the number betted by the player matches the number accommodated by the ball (winning). Determined.
Here, when it is determined that the same number of grooves are held (struck), medals are paid back to the player at a predetermined magnification. For this reason, the applicant has invented a roulette game machine in which the roulette game machine in the above prior art is improved (Patent Document 1). In the roulette game machine disclosed in Patent Document 1, the same betting board is shared with other players, and the betting status of the other players can be viewed on the same monitor display.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-325726

However, sharing the monitor display in this way causes the other player's cursor to enter the team (your chip stock area), which makes the player misunderstanding that his cursor is moving. There is. In addition, if the player's cursor and his / her cursor are interlaced by himself, the cursor may be difficult to see and may interfere with the betting operation. Also, in some cases, there is a possibility that another person arbitrarily (or mistakenly) moves his chip icon onto the betting board and makes a bet.
The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its object is to make it possible to reliably distinguish one's own chip icon from another person's chip icon when using a shared monitor display. It is to provide a game machine.

To achieve the above object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, a roulette wheel that displays a different chip icon for each play corner, and a graphic character that is the same as the graphic character displayed on the roulette wheel are displayed. Monitor display, a plurality of cursors movably displayed on the monitor display, cursor moving means for each play corner for moving each cursor to an arbitrary position on the monitor display, and movement of the cursor And a roulette game machine comprising: chip icon moving means for moving the chip icon from the play corner; and marking means for marking the chip icon as a chip mark on a monitor display at a position where the cursor has moved. In said moni A betting board and a chip stock area in which the player's chip icon is displayed for each play corner are displayed on the display, and the chip icon moved to the monitor display together with the cursor is the same. At the betting position on the betting board, the marking means displays a marking as a chip mark, and the cursor can access only the chip icon displayed in the chip stock area of the player who uses the cursor, and the other chip stock. The gist is that the same chip icon in the area cannot be accessed.
The gist of the invention described in claim 2 is that, in the invention described in claim 1, the cursor is displayed in a hand shape, and the chip icon is displayed so as to be held by the cursor.
According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect of the present invention, the cursor cannot enter a chip stock area other than the chip stock area where the cursor moving means corresponding to the cursor is arranged. This is the gist.

In the above invention, each player operates the cursor moving means to move the cursor to an arbitrary position on the monitor display when playing the game. At this time, a desired chip icon is moved together with the cursor on the monitor display from the play corner by the cursor, and the chip icon is marked and displayed as a chip mark by the marking means. The chip icon moves together with the cursor. A betting board and a chip stock area are displayed on the monitor display, and the player can move the cursor freely on the monitor display, but cannot access other than his own chip icon. Inaccessible means that the chip icons in the chip stock area other than the own chip stock area cannot be moved together on the betting board without permission.
Here, it is preferable that the cursor shape is displayed in the shape of a hand because of the realistic sensation of the game. Moreover, it is preferable to change a color or a shape so that each cursor may be easily distinguished. Furthermore, it is preferred that the cursor not only be unable to access the chip icons of other chip stock areas, but also cannot enter into other chip stock areas. To prevent other people's cursors from being confused when they are in their own chip stock area, and accidentally intruding into the adjacent chip stock area, so that they do not know who is operating which cursor But there is.

  According to the above invention, the cursor is moved on one shared monitor display so that each player can bet on a desired position. As a result, the player corresponding to each cursor can show which graphic character he / she selects to other players and surrounding galleries, and can also see where other players bet the chip icon. . In addition, it is possible to avoid accidental betting by accessing another person's chip icon and avoiding a situation in which the progress of the game is hindered.

A number of concave ball receiving grooves 24 are formed on the upper surface of the wheel 23. The numbers N1 of “0”, “00”, “1” to “36” as graphic characters are displayed on the upper surface of the wheel 23 in the outward direction of each ball receiving groove 24 so as to correspond to each ball receiving groove 24. The display unit 25 is formed. A ball insertion hole 29 is formed in the frame body 12a. A ball throwing device (not shown) is connected to the ball throwing hole 29, and the ball B is thrown onto the wheel 23 from the ball throwing hole 29 as the ball throwing device is driven.
A hit determination device (not shown here) is installed below the roulette wheel 12. The hit determination device is a device for determining which number N1 of the ball storage groove 24 the ball B is stored in. Further, a ball collection device (not shown) is installed below the wheel 23. This ball collecting device is a device for collecting the ball B on the wheel 23 after the game is over. Since the ball throwing device, the hit determination device, and the ball collection device are already known, detailed description thereof will be omitted here (Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 8-229190, 8-229191, and No. 9-140857 and JP-A-9-276477), both of which are filed by the present applicant).

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the monitor display 13 is composed of a liquid crystal monitor (a CRT monitor may be used). A betting board 26 is displayed on the monitor display 13. On the betting board 26, a plurality of numbers N2 (including characters) as graphic characters including the same numbers as the numbers N1 displayed on the virus 23 are arranged and displayed in a grid pattern.
In addition, chip stock areas TH1, TH2, TH3, TH4 corresponding to the respective play corners P1 to P4 are displayed on the monitor display 13 in the outward direction of the four corners of the betting board 26.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 4, a bet counter BC, a winning counter WC, and a credit counter CC are displayed in each chip stock area TH <b> 1 to TH <b> 4. The number displayed on the bet counter BC is equivalent to the number of medals bet in one game, and the number displayed on the winning counter WC is the number of medals to be paid out when the game is won. The corresponding number. The number displayed on the credit counter CC corresponds to the number of medals that can be paid out from a medal payout device described later.
A chip counter TC is displayed on the right side of each of the counters BC, WC, and CC. At the bottom of the chip counter TC, “1's place”, “10's place”, “100's place”, and “1000's place” are displayed. The chip icons TI are displayed in a stacked state above the display portion of each place ("1 place" to "1000 place"). For example, when eight chip icons TI are displayed on the “10's place” display section and three chip icons TI are stacked and displayed on the “100's place” display section, that play is displayed. In the corner, 380 payable medals are stored ((3 × 100) + (8 × 10)). That is, the number displayed on the credit counter CC matches the number of chip icons TI displayed on the chip counter TC.

As shown in FIG. 9, the trackball 16 includes a support base 41 provided inside the housing 11, a ball 43 rotatably accommodated in a recess 42 of the support base 41, an X direction detector 45X, and a Y axis. It consists of a direction detector 45Y and the like. The X-direction detector 45X and the Y-axis direction detector 45Y sandwich the disc 48 with a shaft 47 that is rotatably supported by the bearing 46, a disc 48 that is rotatably supported integrally with the shaft 47, and the shaft 48. The projector 49 and the light receiver 50 are arranged. The axis of the shaft 47 of the X-axis direction detector 45X extends in the front-rear direction (vertical direction in FIG. 9A). On the other hand, the axis of the shaft 47 of the Y direction detector 45Y extends in the left-right direction. The shafts 47 of the bidirectional detectors 45X and 45Y are in contact with the balls 43, respectively. By rotating the ball 43 by applying an external force, each shaft 47 rotates while sliding on the ball 43. That is, when the ball 43 is rotated in the front-rear direction, the shaft 47 of the Y-axis direction detector 45Y rotates, and when the ball 43 is rotated in the left-right direction, the shaft 47 of the X-axis direction detector 45X rotates. It is supposed to be. Further, when the ball 43 is rotated in an oblique direction (right oblique direction and left oblique direction), the shafts 47 of both axial direction detectors 45X and 45Y rotate together.
A plurality of slits 51 are formed at equal intervals in the disks 48 of the axial direction detectors 45X and 45Y. Each light receiver 50 receives light from the projector 49 through the slit 51 of the disk 48. That is, when the shaft 47 rotates, the light receiver 50 receives light from the projector 49 intermittently. The signal from the light receiver 50 is output to a controller C described later. Based on the signal from the light receiver 50, the controller C discriminates the rotation amount of each shaft 47, that is, the rotation direction and rotation amount of the ball 43. That is, the trackball 16 of the present embodiment detects the rotation direction and the rotation amount of the ball 43 using a rotary encoder.

As shown in FIG. 3, a hand cursor HC is displayed on the monitor display 13 as a cursor corresponding to each of the play corners P1 to P4. This hand cursor HC is in the form of a human hand. Each hand cursor HC has a different display color for each play corner P1 to P4 (for example, in the present embodiment, the color of the hand cursor HC of the first play corner P1 is red, and the hand cursor HC of the second play corner P2). Is green, the hand cursor HC of the third play corner P3 is blue, and the hand cursor HC of the fourth play corner P4 is white). Each player identifies his / her hand cursor HC by color.
Each hand cursor HC freely moves on the monitor display 13 by operating the ball 43 of the trackball 16. That is, when the ball 43 is rotated rightward, the hand cursor HC is also moved rightward, and when the ball 43 is rotated forwardly, the hand cursor HC is also moved forward.
The hand cursor HC can be freely moved by rotating the ball 43 on the monitor display 13, but the chip stock areas TH1 to TH4 other than its own chip stock area TH1 to TH4, that is, chip stock areas TH1 to TH4 of other players. Is controlled so that it cannot enter.

Next, the electrical configuration of the roulette game machine will be described.
As shown in FIG. 11, the controller C constituting the cursor moving means and the marking means includes a trackball 16, a hold button 17, a put button 18, a medal payout button 19, and a medal payout device 30 for each of the play corners P1 to P4. It is connected. The controller C is connected with a monitor display 13 and a hit determination device 31. The hit determination device 31 detects the position of the ball B housed and held in the ball housing groove 24 of the wheel 23, that is, the numeral N1, and outputs it to the controller C. The controller C determines the winning number (the number N1 in which the ball B is accommodated and held) based on the signal from the winning determination device 31.

The controller C determines the direction and amount of rotation of the ball 43 based on the input signal from the trackball (light receiver 50). Then, the controller C moves and displays the hand cursor HC on the monitor display 13 based on the determined rotation direction and rotation amount of the ball 43.
For example, as shown in FIG. 4B, the controller C is turned on from the hold button 17 while the hand cursor HC is displayed in the chip counter TC of the chip stock area TH1 (the same applies to TH2 to TH4). When a signal is input (when the hold button 17 is pressed by the player), the hand cursor HC displays the chip icon TI displayed immediately below the hand cursor HC. The controller C displays the number of chip icons TI corresponding to the number of ON signals input from the hold button 17 (the number of times the player has pressed the hold button 17) in a state where the hand cursor HC holds the chip icon TI ( (See FIG. 5).
When the ball 43 of the trackball 16 is rotated from the state where the hand cursor HC holds the chip icon TI, the hand cursor HC is moved while holding the chip icon TI. Then, when the hand cursor HC moves on the betting board 26 (see FIG. 7) and the controller C inputs an ON signal from the put button 18 in this state (when the player presses the put button 18), The chip icon TI gripped from the hand cursor HC is erased, and a chip mark TM as a mark is marked on the betting board 26 corresponding to the hand cursor HC (see FIG. 8). In the present embodiment, the pattern displayed on the chip mark TM is displayed differently for each of the play corners P1 to P4. FIG. 10 is a view showing the pattern of the chip mark TM of each of the play corners P1 to P4. FIG. 10A shows the chip mark TM of the first play corner P1. (B) is the chip mark TM of the second play corner P2. (C) is a chip mark of the third play corner P3. (D) is a chip mark TM of the fourth play corner P4.
On the other hand, when the controller C determines that the hand cursor HC enters the chip stock areas TH1 to TH4 other than its own chip stock area TH1 to TH4 from the rotation direction and the rotation amount of the ball 43, the other chip stock areas TH1 to TH1. When the outer position of TH4 is reached, the movement command of the hand cursor HC in the direction of the chip stock areas TH1 to TH4 is canceled. That is, when the hand cursor HC reaches the outline of the other chip stock areas TH1 to TH4, the hand cursor HC stops at that position.

Next, the processing operation of the controller C will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.
First, in step 101, the controller C starts inputting a bet. In the next step 102, the ball B is thrown onto the wheel 23. In step 103, it is determined whether a predetermined time has elapsed. When it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed, the bet input is closed in step 104, and in step 105, based on the output signal from the hit determination device 31. Determine the winning numbers. In step 106, the display of each counter BC, WC, CC of each chip stock area TH1-TH4 is changed. Then, the controller C once ends the process and returns to step 101 again.

Next, the operation when playing the roulette game machine will be described.
First, a medal is inserted into the medal insertion slot 15. Then, a number corresponding to the number of medals inserted is displayed on the credit counter CC. Here, the number of medals inserted this time is 1235. Accordingly, “1235” is displayed on the credit counter CC as shown in FIG. The hand cursor HC is displayed as a standby position at the top of the chip stock area TH1 (same for TH2 to TH4) as the home position before the game starts.
Next, the ball 43 of the trackball 16 is rotated downward to move the hand cursor HC downward, that is, to the chip icon TI side. Then, the hand cursor HC is moved to the desired chip icon TI, and the put button 18 is pressed. This time, it is assumed that the hand cursor HC is moved on the chip icon TI of “10's place” in FIG. When the hold button 17 is pressed in this state, the display of the hand cursor HC changes to a state where the chip icon TI is held (see FIG. 5A). At this time, the number of chip icons TI held by the hand cursor HC changes according to the number of times the hold button 17 is pressed. Here, it is assumed that the hold button 17 is pressed twice.
Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 5A, the hand cursor HC changes to a state in which two “10” chip icons TI are held. The chip icon TI held by the hand cursor HC displays the same number as the number of medals held. Here, since two “10” chip icons TI are held, “20” is displayed on the chip icon TI held by the hand cursor HC. Further, at the same time that the hand cursor HC holds the chip icon TI, the chip icon TI and the credit counter CC that are stacked and displayed on the chip counter TC are displayed in a subtracted manner.

  Further, when it is desired to bet many medals, for example, when it is desired to bet 100 medals, the ball 43 is rotated leftward and the hand cursor HC is moved leftward, that is, as shown in FIG. Then, move it to the “100's place” chip icon TI. Then, the hold button 17 is pressed once to cause the hand cursor HC to hold the “100” chip icon TI. At this time, as shown in FIG. 6, “120” is displayed on the chip icon TI held by the hand cursor HC, and the “100” chip icon TI displayed on the chip counter TC is displayed. The credit counter CC is displayed in a subtracted manner.

  Next, the ball 43 is rotated forward to move the hand cursor HC from the chip stock area TH1 onto the betting board 26 as shown in FIG. Then, the chip icon TI held by the hand cursor HC is moved onto the number N2 that is likely to win. Here, it has been moved up by 4 numbers of “5”, “6”, “8”, “9”. When the expected number is determined, by pressing the put button 18, as shown in FIG. 8, a chip mark TM having a predetermined pattern is formed at the center of the four numbers "5", "6", "8", and "9". Is marked. The chip mark TM marked here is displayed with the same number (120) as the number displayed on the chip icon TI. Simultaneously with the marking of the chip mark TM, the chip icon TI is deleted from the hand cursor HC and the same number as the number displayed on the chip mark TM is displayed on the bet counter BC.

  At this time, if a number is still displayed on the credit counter CC, that is, if there are still remaining medals, the above operation is repeated, so that the same play corner TH1 (TH2 to TH4) has a plurality of locations. You can bet (mark). In this case, the number of the bet counter BC is the total number displayed on the chip mark TM. Thus, even if the player bets on a plurality of places, the player can determine at a glance how many medals he has bet in the current game. When different play corners (here, the second play corner P2 and the fourth play corner P4) bet on the same number, the pattern of the chip mark TM is divided into two as shown by the arrow A in FIG. Displayed. That is, the upper half of the chip mark TM is displayed in the pattern of the second play corner P2, and the lower half is displayed in the pattern of the fourth play corner P4. In addition, when three play corners bet on the same number, the chip mark TM is equally divided into three parts, and when four play corners bet on the same number, the chip mark TM is displayed. Are equally divided into four parts. Of course, in this case as well, the pattern corresponding to each of the play corners P1 to P4 is displayed on the divided surface.

When the display position of the chip mark TM is changed after the chip mark TM is displayed on the betting board 26, the hand cursor HC is moved to the chip mark TM to be changed and the put button 18 is pressed. The chip mark TM disappears from the betting board 26. Then, the disappeared chip mark TM returns to the state held by the hand cursor HC.
Next, when a predetermined time has elapsed, the ball B is thrown onto the wheel 23. When the hit determination is made, the display of the counters BC, WC, CC, TC in the chip stock areas TH1 to TH4 of each of the play corners P1 to P4 is changed, and the mark chip marked on the betting board 26 is changed. TM is erased. Thereafter, the display position of the chip mark TM can be changed by moving the hand cursor HC to the new number N2 position and pressing the put button 18 in the same manner as described above.
