Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming system.

Conventionally, in facilities where game machines such as pachinko machines, slot machines, lottery machines, etc. are installed, it is possible to play games by putting various game media such as pachinko balls, medals and cash into the game machines. Each gaming machine pays out a payout according to a winning state (game result) generated by the progress of the game.
By the way, because there are a limited number of participants in a gaming machine in which a plurality of players can participate at the same time, if there are a large number of participants who want to play a game, a long waiting time is required until they can participate in the game. Things can happen frequently.

In order to solve such a problem, for example, in Patent Document 1, a player who is waiting for the turn of the game uses the waiting time until the player participating in the game finishes the game. A gaming machine has been proposed that allows participants to participate indirectly. Specifically, in this gaming machine, for example, a person who is waiting for the game order bets the game value (the result of the main game) of the player who is currently playing the game and sets the game value. You can play games.

As shown in the figure, this gaming system S includes a plurality of mobile terminals (mobile phones in the figure) 1 and data collection means (a network in the figure) connected to these mobile terminals 1 via a predetermined communication means (a network in the figure). Server) 80 and display means (monitor in the figure) 90 for collectively displaying game information of a plurality of predetermined portable terminals 1 collected by the data collecting means. Such a gaming system S may be employed in a single gaming facility such as a bar or a casino where various games can be performed, or handles a plurality of gaming facilities (for example, a coloring game played in China, etc.). For example, it may be adopted between tobacco sales offices).

  The communication means may adopt a network as shown in the figure, but can transmit and receive information between the portable terminal 1 and the data collection means 80 regardless of wired, wireless, dedicated circuit, exchange line, etc. (For example, short-range communication (Bluetooth, ZigBee, wireless LAN, NFC, etc.) performed in a peer-to-peer format or the like without using a network) may be used.

  In addition, a mobile phone may be adopted as the mobile terminal 1 as shown in the figure, but the mobile terminal in the present invention is a mobile phone, laptop computer, PDA, etc. that can be carried and can play games or game data. It is an electronic device that can transmit and receive.

  The data collecting means 80 may employ a server as shown in the figure, but may be anything as long as it can manage game information, such as an electronic / mechanical device such as a set-top box (cable television receiver). Other than the above, artificial data collection may be performed. When a server is used as the data collection means 80, such a server manages a plurality of portable terminals 1, and can be accessed from a hall server installed in each amusement facility (hall), a communication line or a dedicated line. This is a broad concept including a server of each gaming facility or a management server that manages and manages the mobile terminals 1 scattered in an arbitrary place via a network. Each mobile terminal 1 is assigned a unique identification number, and the server 80 determines the origin of data sent from each mobile terminal 1 based on the identification number. Also, when transmitting data from the server 80 to the mobile terminal 1, the transmission destination is specified using the identification number.

  The display unit 90 may employ a monitor separate from the mobile terminal 1 as shown in the figure, but the monitor screen 1a of the mobile terminal 1 may be used as the display unit. Examples of the monitor separate from the portable terminal 1 include a monitor installed in a game hall or a public place.

  In addition, as a game played on the mobile terminal 1, a result is obtained such as a slot machine or a poker game in which the result is known in real time (including a net game), a horse racing game, a bingo game, a lottery ticket, or the like. Any of those requiring a predetermined time may be used. Moreover, such a game may be stored in advance in the mobile terminal 1 as a program, or may be downloaded via a network. Further, the mobile terminal 1 may play a game using a predetermined game medium. In this case, the game medium used is actual cash (coins, banknotes), electronic money, a credit card or a prepaid card. This includes using payment.

  FIG. 2 shows a mobile phone as an example of the mobile terminal 1. As shown in the figure, the mobile phone has a display unit (monitor screen) 1a for displaying various data including game information, various operation buttons 1b, and a transmission / reception antenna 1c.

  FIG. 3 conceptually shows the basic functions of the mobile terminal 1 and the data collection unit 80. As shown in the figure, each portable terminal 1 includes a display means A for performing display necessary for the game, an operation means B for performing operations necessary for the game, and a predetermined image displayed on the display means A. Image control means C for controlling the output, game control means D for overall control of the progress of the game, and communication means E for exchanging signals with the server 80 are provided. In this case, taking the mobile phone shown in FIG. 2 as an example, the display means A corresponds to the display unit (monitor screen) 1a of the mobile phone 1, the operation means B corresponds to the operation button 1b, and the image control means. C and game control means D correspond to a control circuit (not shown) built in the mobile phone 1, and communication means E corresponds to a built-in transmission / reception circuit (not shown) including the antenna 1c.

  On the other hand, the data collection means 80 such as a server aggregates sales for a predetermined period related to the game in each mobile terminal 1 and a dividend for a predetermined period based on the sales totaled by the sales aggregation means F. A payout determining means G for determining a payout amount (game medium) and distributing the payout amount at a predetermined distribution rate, and a mobile terminal to which payouts (each payout amount of the game medium) distributed at a predetermined distribution rate The payout determining means H for determining 1 by lottery or the like, the communication means I for exchanging signals with each mobile terminal 1, and the mobile terminals 1 according to the number of mobile terminals 1 involved in the game. And a split display control means J for generating split display control signals for splitting and displaying the game content on the display means (monitor) 90. The data collection means 80 has an external storage device such as an arithmetic processing unit (CPU), a main memory (RAM), a read only memory (ROM), an input / output device (I / O), a hard disk device, etc. The various means F, G, H, I, and J constituting the data collecting means 80 are realized by executing a predetermined program on the information processing apparatus.

  An example of the operation mode of the mobile terminal 1 and the data collection means 80 having such a function is shown in the sequence diagram of FIG. 4 and the flowchart of FIG. In this example, a prize system is adopted, for example, after the prize money of the day (the amount of dividends to be paid out or the prize money in the case of a lottery) is determined according to the sales at each mobile terminal 1 on the previous day. A prize is awarded to the portable terminal 1 designated on the day.

  First, a game is played from each of a plurality of mobile terminals 1 (two mobile terminals A and B for simplicity in the figure) that participate in a game performed at a game facility or participate in a game from an arbitrary place on the net for a predetermined period. The game information data regarding is transmitted to the data collecting means 80 (S1). When the data collection means 80 receives the corresponding game information data from each mobile terminal 1, the data collection means 80 displays the game contents on these mobile terminals 1 according to the number of mobile terminals 1 involved in the game. A divided display control signal for dividing and displaying the screen is generated and transmitted to the display means 90 (S2). Then, the display means 90 receives the divided display control signal and displays the game content on each portable terminal 1 in a divided manner (S3). An example of such a divided display is shown in FIG. In the illustrated example, the users (players) of the four mobile terminals 1 participating in the battle game are in charge of the soldiers C1 to C4 that appear on the screen of the display means 90, and the users of all the mobile terminals 1 Assume that a game is played by sharing an image. When the soldiers C1 to C4 face each other along a predetermined route and specific soldiers (C1 and C2 in the figure) start to face each other, the screen automatically switches from the entire screen X to the divided screen Y, for example. In the split screen, the main screen Y1 displaying the battle scene between the soldier C1 and the soldier C2 occupies a considerable area (for example, 2/3 of the entire monitor screen), and the insertion screen Y2 corresponding to the entire screen X is, for example, the monitor It is displayed at the corner of the screen (for example, 1/3 of the entire screen). In another aspect in which the display unit 1a of the mobile terminal 1 functions as the display unit 90, the entire screen X is displayed on the display unit 1a of each mobile terminal 1, and the user of each mobile terminal 1 can select the entire screen X as desired. May be switched to the split screen Y. In that case, for example, when the click button a attached to the soldier in battle is clicked using the operation means B, the whole screen X is switched to the divided screen Y, and the divided screen Y is attached to the insertion screen Y2. For example, when the click button b is clicked using the operation means B, the divided screen Y may be switched to the entire screen X. Further, the game information (game data) of each player may be displayed in text on each screen X, Y. Further, the game content on each mobile terminal 1 is not limited to the display form of FIG. 6, but may be displayed in a grid-like divided display form. Further, when there are a large number of players participating in the game, the divided display screen may be switched sequentially at a predetermined time interval. In addition, you may provide in the said display means the touch panel means which switches by the player touching the display part 1a of the portable terminal 1 directly.

  Subsequently, after the game (not limited to one) under the divided image display as described above is completed, for example, when the game facility is closed (S4), the game of each mobile terminal 1 on the closing day (today) Sales corresponding to the results are totaled by the sales totaling means F of the data collecting means 80 (S5). In this case, the sales of each portable terminal 1 necessary for the totalization are transferred from the portable terminal 1 (mobile terminal A, portable terminal B... In FIG. 4) to the data collecting means 80 via the communication means E and I, for example. Will be sent.

  When the sales totaling means F counts the sales of each portable terminal 1 today, the dividend determination means G then determines the amount of the next day's prize money (payout amount) based on the sales (S6). ). In this case, the amount of the prize money is, for example, an amount obtained by subtracting profit from today's sales. Note that if the previous day's sales are all reflected in the next day's prize money as in this example, there is a possibility that the amount of the prize money will differ depending on the day. For example, if sales are high on Sunday, Monday is advantageous. In order to eliminate such unfairness, for example, it is conceivable to take means for evenly distributing the average sales of the previous week, etc., on each day of the next week.

  When the amount of the prize money for the next day is determined as described above, the payout determination means G further distributes the determined prize money amount at a predetermined distribution rate (S7). For example, 50% of the determined prize money is defined as prize money A, 30% of the determined prize money is defined as prize money B, and 20% of the determined prize money is defined as prize money C. .

  When such prizes are distributed, the payout determination means H subsequently determines the gaming machines 1 to which the distributed prizes A, B, C will be paid out by lottery (S8). For example, the mobile terminals A, B... Are determined by lottery from among the various mobile terminals 1 as payout mobile terminals (winning mobile terminals). The determined information is transmitted as a winning information signal to the gaming machines A, B... Serving as payout portable terminals via the communication means I (S9). The winning information signal includes, for example, the time and place where the prize money is paid out.

  As described above, in the gaming system S of the present embodiment, the game information related to the games of the plurality of mobile terminals 1 is collected by the data collecting means 80 and displayed collectively by the display means 90. It is possible to realize a game that a number of players can play while sharing game information with each other from any place. Therefore, there are basically no restrictions on the number of participants, so it is possible not only to avoid the situation where waiting time is required for gaming, but also to eliminate the need to secure a gaming space for a large number of people, thereby reducing the cost associated with it, It is also possible to increase the profits of the game management side.

  In the present embodiment, each mobile terminal 1 may include the display unit 90 as described above. That is, the mobile terminal 1 may also serve as the display unit 90. By doing so, it is not necessary to provide the display means 90 separately, and thus not only can the installation space and cost of the display means 90 be saved, but also the player does not bother to go to the installation location of the display means 90, for example. The game information of other players can be shared by his / her mobile terminal 1, which is beneficial.

  Further, according to the gaming system S of the present embodiment, the game content on these mobile terminals 1 can be divided and displayed according to the number of mobile terminals 1 involved in the game, so that the player is bored with the game. It is possible to lose and attract willingness to continue playing. Therefore, it is possible to increase the profits that can be obtained by playing the game.

  Further, according to the gaming system S of the present embodiment, since the payout amount for the mobile terminal 1 is determined based on the sales information for a predetermined period related to the game on the mobile terminal 1, the payout for the mobile terminal 1 is determined. A payout amount can be sufficiently secured in a short time. In the above configuration, the payout amount is determined by the payout determination means G, the mobile terminal 1 to which the payout is paid out is determined, and the payout of the corresponding payout amount is determined only for the determined mobile terminal 1. The sweepstakes system that pays out at the same time is adopted. Therefore, it is possible to concentrate the payout on a specific mobile terminal 1 and to give a game with a high excitement level.

  Further, in the gaming system S of the present embodiment, the payout determination means G determines the payout by allocating the payout amount determined based on the sales information at a predetermined distribution rate. For this reason, it is possible to increase the chances of obtaining a payout by distributing the payout to several mobile terminals.

  Further, in the gaming system S of the present embodiment, the data collecting means 80 includes a sales counting means F that counts sales for a predetermined period related to games on the mobile terminal 1, and sales of the sales totaled by the sales counting means F. A portion is allocated to dividends. Therefore, it becomes possible to optimally control the profitability of the manager managing the game.

  7 to 9 show an embodiment in which the technical idea described above with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5 is applied to a lottery payout system. As schematically shown in FIG. 7, this lottery payout system is provided with a plurality of gaming machine installation locations (not limited to casinos and hotels) where a lottery machine is installed as a gaming machine. 70), a management center 72 that manages lottery payouts, etc., and a bank 74 for cashing out lottery payouts (or a clearing machine at a gaming machine installation location) are connected via communication means. Is configured.

  As specifically shown in FIG. 8, at each gaming machine installation place 70, at least one lottery machine (game machine) 1B is installed. The lottery machine 1B functions as the data collecting means 80 in the gaming system S described above, and performs communication with the portable terminal 1 (including data exchange when performing a game etc. associated with the lottery). As described above, the lottery winning result can be given to the player on the spot or after a predetermined period (corresponding to step S9 in FIG. 5). On the other hand, as in the case shown in FIG. 3, the portable terminal 1 has a display means A for performing display necessary for a game called lottery, an operation means B for performing operations necessary for a game called lottery, and a display means. For exchanging signals between the image control means C for controlling the output of a predetermined image displayed on A, the game control means D for overall control of the game called lottery, and the lottery machine 1B or the management center 72. Communication means E. The lottery machine 1B also has an authentication data registration function capable of registering the authentication data of the winner (the player from whom the winning ticket 75 has been issued).

  On the other hand, the management center 72 also has the configuration of the data collection means 80 shown in FIG. 3, and processes various data necessary for winning issuance management such as winning numbers, authentication data, payment information, etc. 70 is integrated and managed. In this case, the data and money stored in the lottery machine 1B are collected and taken back to the management center 72 by human intervention means such as a collector / installer.

  As will be described later, the bank (or the clearing machine at the gaming machine installation location) 74 confirms the winning based on the winning information transmitted by the lottery machine 1B or the management center 72 and makes an inquiry to the management center 72. Various communications can be performed with the management center 72 such as verification of authentication data.

  Next, an example of the flow of the lottery payout system configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 4, 5, and 8. In this example as well, the prize system is adopted, and the winning information on the day is determined according to the sales at each mobile terminal 1 on the previous day (the prize money), and then the winning information is transmitted to the mobile terminal 1 designated on the day. Shall be.

  First, for example, when the game machine installation location 70 is closed (S4 in FIG. 5), the sales at each portable terminal 1 on the closing day (today) is the sales counting means of the data collection means 80 of the lottery machine 1B or the management center 72. It is counted by F (S5 in FIG. 5). In this case, the sales of each portable terminal 1 necessary for tabulation is, for example, data collection of each lottery machine 1B from each portable terminal 1 (in FIG. 4, portable terminal A, portable terminal B...) Via communication means E and I. It is sent to the means 80, or is further transferred from the data collecting means 80 of the lottery machine 1B to the data collecting means 80 of the management center 72 by human intervention means such as a collector / installer. Specifically, for example, the amount of cash inserted electronically by each mobile terminal 1 is automatically counted in the lottery machine 1B. Alternatively, an administrator (or a collection collector) of the gaming machine installation place 70 collects and collects cash from each lottery machine 1B, and the result of the aggregation is input to the management center 72 in an arbitrary method (for example, electronic input). To report on. In that case, it is desirable to check whether or not the collected cash is counterfeit.

  When the sales totaling means F sums up the current sales at each mobile terminal, the winning amount (the prize money; the amount of the dividend) is determined by the dividend determining means G based on the sales. (S6 in FIG. 5). In this case, the winning amount is, for example, an amount obtained by subtracting profits (including forged money if the forged money is included) from today's sales. In particular, in this example, 50% of today's sales are allocated to the next day's winnings (payout rate control is performed). In such a payout rate 50% control, the management center 72 manages the total sales handled by the management center 72, that is, 50% of the total sales of all the gaming machine installation locations 70 managed by the management center 72. It may be used for the sum of winnings (successful prizes) on the next day at all gaming machine installation locations 70, or 50% of the sales at each gaming machine installation location 70 will be won on the next day at that gaming machine installation location 70. It may be used for (stakes prize) In the former case, since the total sales are used, the number of winning units (winning amount) can be increased, and the winnings are not necessarily concentrated on the gaming machine installation place 70 where the sales are high. On the other hand, in the latter case, since the sales at each gaming machine installation location 70 are directly reflected in the winnings at the gaming machine installation location 70, the fairness is excellent.

  When the winning amount for the next day is determined as described above, the dividend determining means G further distributes the determined winning amount (a prize money) at a predetermined distribution rate (S7 in FIG. 5). . For example, as shown in FIG. 9, when 50 million yen (80 million yen; 100 million yen) can be used as the next day's winnings based on today's sales, 1 etc. (10 million yen) is 1 Distribute books (2; 3), 2nd grade (5 million yen) into 2 (4; 40), 3 grade (million yen) into 30 (40; 40) . At this time, it is desirable to ensure a constant amount of 1 or the like regardless of the winning amount determined by the dividend determining means G (the amount that can be used as a winning the next day). Thereby, it is possible to always give the player a sense of expectation exceeding a predetermined level, and to maintain high interest.

  When such a winning distribution is performed, the payout determination means H subsequently determines the mobile terminal 1 to which each distributed winning money (a prize money) is paid out by lottery (S8 in FIG. 5). For example, in the 50% payout rate control in which 50% of the total sales of all the gaming machine installation locations 70 are used for the sum of the winnings of the next day, any lottery machine 1B installed in any gaming machine installation location 70 is involved. The payout determination means H determines the winning payout mobile terminal from among the predetermined mobile terminals 1 to be selected by lottery. On the other hand, in the 50% payout rate control in which 50% of the sales at each gaming machine installation place 70 is used for the next day's winning at the gaming machine installation place 70, the payout determining means H is individually set in each gaming machine installation place 70. The winner will be determined by lottery. The determined information is transmitted as a winning information signal to the winning payout portable terminal via the communication means I (S9 in FIG. 5).

  In addition, the user (player) of the portable terminal 1 to which the winning information is transmitted performs authentication data registration as necessary. In this authentication data registration, for example, a player registers his / her physical characteristics (fingerprint, voice print, face image, etc.), and a recording card 77 on which the registration data is recorded is issued. The winning information data and the authentication data are sent to the management center 72 via the communication means. Thereafter, the player can supply the winning information data and the recording card 77 to the bank 74 and receive the winning money in cash. In this case, the bank 74 side inquires electronically to the management center 72 via the communication means, confirms the winning information data, and verifies the authentication data using the recording card 77. That is, for example, by transmitting authentication data to the management center 72 and receiving the winning management data from the management center 72, a person who confirms the success or failure of the winning and pays out or pays out the winning is true. Check if you are a winner.

  In the above configuration, the bank has been described as an example of means for cashing out the lottery dividend. However, as another means (place) for cashing out the lottery dividend, there is another checkout location adjacent to the gaming machine installation location. And ATM.

FIG. 10 shows the aforementioned lottery directly between a plurality of portable terminals 1 and one common management system (server) S without interposing a plurality of scattered gaming machine installation locations 70. An example of a system flow in which a game and a payout process are performed is shown.
As illustrated, in this system, first, the user of the mobile terminal 1 accesses the management system S (mobile lottery site) (S40). At that time, registration / purchase procedures are performed (S41), and a notification to that effect is sent to the management system S (S42). Thereby, the data of the lottery game is downloaded from the management system S to the mobile terminal 1 (S43), and the user enjoys the game (S44). Thereafter, when the game result is transmitted to the management system S (S45), winning information is transmitted from the management system S to the portable terminal 1 to be won in accordance with the lottery or the like (S46). In response to this, the user of the selected portable terminal 1 transmits authentication data to the management center S (S47). When the verification check of the authentication data is performed between the management system S and, for example, the bank 74 (S48), the user of the mobile terminal 1 to be selected can receive the winning (S49). The other detailed flow including the exchange with the management center 72 is substantially the same as the flow of the system described with reference to FIGS.

  The present invention can be applied to a gaming system including various gaming machines such as a pachinko machine in addition to the slot machine and lottery machine described in the above-described embodiment.
