  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  First, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a first embodiment of a game device to which the present invention is applied. The game device 11 is a device that performs processing of a card game (hereinafter referred to as a card game A) using playing cards (Playing Cards).

  Here, the rules of the card game A will be described. In simple terms, the card game A selects a card satisfying a predetermined condition from the hand distributed to the player, puts it into play, and if the deck remains, remove 1 card from the deck. It is a game that aims to put as many cards into play as you can by drawing them and adding them to your hand. In addition, if all the cards can be put into play, it means that the game of one stage has been cleared, and the player aims to put out more cards and take out more stages.

  Specifically, first, from a deck of 52 cards of a set of playing cards, 5 cards are dealt to the player as a hand and one card is put into play as the first place card. Placed. At the beginning of the stage, there is no card placement direction (hereinafter referred to as billing direction), so the player chooses one card from the hand that has a different rank than the first card. Can be put in play.

  In the card game A, the order of cards is determined based on the rank of cards. That is, the rank of the card is the lowest in the rank 2 card, and is 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J (Jack, 11), Q (Queen, 12), K ( King, 13), A (Ace, 1).

  If the rank of the first card (second place tag) placed from the hand is higher than the first place card and not the highest A, or if it is the lowest 2, the billing direction is If it is set in ascending order (hereinafter referred to as HIGH) and is lower than the first card and is not the lowest 2 or the highest A, the billing direction is set in descending order (hereinafter referred to as LOW). Is done.

  If the player's billing direction is set to HIGH, the player was put on the battlefield the last card on the battlefield, in other words, the card that was put on the battlefield Only cards with higher rank than cards (hereinafter referred to as the latest place tag) can be put into play, and if the billing direction is set to LOW, only cards with lower rank than the latest place tag are put into play. I can't. Also, cards with the same rank as the latest place tag cannot be put into play. Also, when the highest ranking card A is put into play, the billing direction is switched from HIGH to LOW, and when the lowest ranking card is put into play, the billing direction is changed from LOW to HIGH. Switch.

  And if you can put all your decks into play and lose your hand, you will be able to clear the game in one stage. The player can challenge up to a predetermined number (for example, 5) of stages, and the game ends when the final stage is cleared. On the other hand, if there are no cards in play that can be put into play, the game is over. The player is given basic points according to the number of stages cleared and the number of cards put into play.

  Also, in the card game A, when a role defined based on at least one of the soot, rank, and color of the field tag (hereinafter referred to as a field tag role) is completed, Bonus points will be given accordingly. There are two types of playing cards: chain color and complete. The chain color is a place tag where bonus points are awarded according to the number of cards of the same color in succession on the place. In addition, there are four types of complete system place cards: straight, straight color, flash, and straight flash.

  In the straight, regardless of the type of suit, 13 cards with different ranks from 2 to A are continuously arranged in ascending or descending order (for example, 2, 3, 4,..., Q, K , A, or A, K, Q,..., 4, 3, 2). When a 2 or A card is put into play, the billing direction is switched, so the ranks of cards after 2 or A do not have to be continuous. For example, when starting from 7, if 13 cards are arranged in the field like 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K, A, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, the straight is completed. It is regarded. A straight when the ranks of 13 cards are consecutive may be referred to as a royal straight, and higher bonus points may be given than other straights.

  The straight color is a place tag in which all the 13 cards constituting the straight have the same color. The flash is a place card combination where 13 cards of the same suit are lined up in a row regardless of their rank. The straight flush is a place card in which all the suits of the 13 cards constituting the straight are the same. Note that a straight flush when the ranks of 13 cards are consecutive may be referred to as a royal straight flush, and higher bonus points may be given than other straight flushes.

  Further, the basic points and bonus points vary depending on the number of bets designated by the player before playing the game. That is, the higher the bet number, the higher the points awarded, and the lower the bet number, the lower the points awarded.

  The game apparatus 11 is configured to include an input unit 21, a game processing unit 22, a display unit 23, an audio output unit 24, and a medal control unit 25.

  The medal control unit 25 controls the insertion and payout of medals used for playing the game. The medal control unit 25 notifies the point management unit 37 and the interface control unit 38 of the number of medals inserted by the player.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 23 during the play of the card game A.

  In the basic point display area 101, a list of basic points for the stage number and the number of place cards is displayed. In the basic point display area 101, a cursor is displayed in a column corresponding to the stage currently played and the number of place cards, and the player can easily check the current basic points. In the number-of-places display area 102, the number of the stage currently being played and the number of current place-tags are displayed. The chain color point display area 103 displays a list of bonus points for the number of chain colors (the number of cards having the same color in succession). A list of bonus points for each of the complete system of the field card combination points is displayed in the field card combination point display area 104.

  In the remaining card display area 105, a list of suits and ranks of cards that have not been put into play yet and are left in the deck or hand. Of the remaining card display area 105, regardless of whether it is in the hand or not, the card corresponding to the card that can be put into play is changed in color or flashed to select a card that can be put into play. You may make it show clearly.

  Information for confirming the progress status of the nameplate combination is displayed in the nameplate display area 106. Specifically, the rank of the card within the range in which the rank of the place tag continues is displayed in the first line of the place label display area 106. For example, in the example of FIG. 2, it is shown that the ranks are consecutive in the order of 10, 9, and 8 from the third to the fifth of the place cards. On the second line, card suits within a range where the suits of the field tags are continuous are displayed. For example, in the example of FIG. 2, it is shown that clubs are continuous from the first to the second sheet of the place tag, and hearts are continuous from the third to the seventh sheet of the place tag. In the third line, the color of the card within the range where the color of the place tag continues is displayed. For example, in the example of FIG. 2, it is shown that black cards are continuous from the first to the second card of the place tag, and red cards are continuous from the third to the eighth card of the place tag. Yes.

  In the field tag display area 107, the field tags are displayed side by side so as to overlap from left to right in the order in which they were put on the field. An arrow indicating whether the rank is higher or lower than the previous card is displayed on each card in the place tag display area 107. For example, in the example of FIG. 2, the seventh 2 card is lower in rank than the previous 6 fifth card, so a downward arrow is displayed on the seventh card, and 8 Since the sixth card is higher in rank than the previous second card, an upward arrow is displayed on the eighth card. In addition, the place tag display area 106 may be displayed in an overlapped manner below the suit and rank of each place tag in the place tag display area 107. As a result, the place combination display area 106 shown in FIG. 2 becomes empty, so that the display of other areas can be enlarged.

  In the deck display area 108, decks are stacked face down and displayed at a height corresponding to the remaining number. In the hand display area 109, the hand is displayed side by side face up. In addition, the word “SELECT” is displayed on the card that can be put into play. In addition to displaying the word “SELECT”, for example, a card that can be put into play by changing the color of the card, flashing the card, or surrounding the card with a frame, etc. You may make it distinguish.

  In the medal display area 110, the current bet number (BET), earned point number (WIN), paid medal number (PAID), and deposited medal number (CREDIT) are displayed. In the medal display area 110, a message (MESSAGE) corresponding to the game situation is displayed.

  Hereinafter, it is assumed that the number of earned points and the number of medals to be paid out correspond one-to-one. That is, one medal is paid out per point. It is also possible to set the number of earned points and the number of medals to be paid out to a ratio other than 1: 1.

  In FIG. 2, the points displayed in the basic point display area 101, the chain color point display area 103, and the placeball combination point display area 104 are examples. Further, the points displayed in the basic point display area 101, the chain color point display area 103, and the placeball combination point display area 104 also change as the points change due to the change in the number of bets.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of buttons provided on the input unit 21 for playing a game.

  The SELECT buttons 151 to 155 correspond to one of the five cards displayed in the hand display area 109 and are used to select a card to be put into play from the hand. More specifically, the SELECT button 151 corresponds to the leftmost card in the hand display area 109, the SELECT button 152 corresponds to the second card from the left, the SELECT button 153 corresponds to the third card from the left, The SELECT button 154 corresponds to the fourth card from the left, and the SELECT button 155 corresponds to the rightmost card. The SELECT buttons 151 to 155 are also used, for example, to select a double-up game type as will be described later.

  The SORT button 156 is a button for rearranging the hand displayed in the hand display area 109 based on the card rank or suit. By rearranging the hand, for example, confirmation of the order of cards to be put into play and confirmation of the progress of the hand combination described later become easy.

  The BET button 157, the 5BET button 158, and the MAXBET button 159 are buttons for setting the number of bets. Pressing the BET button 157 once increases the bet number, pressing the 5BET button 158 once increases the bet number, and pressing the MAXBET button 159 once sets the bet number to the maximum bet number. The

  The START button 160 is a button for starting a card game or double up. The TAKE button 161 is a button for ending the game and confirming the acquired points. The PAYOUT button 162 is a button for paying out medals. The HALF button 163 is a button for selecting half-up by double-up described later. The RAISE button 164 is a button for selecting a raise by double-up.

  Note that the types and arrangement of buttons are not limited to this example. For example, a plurality of buttons used in different scenes may be combined into one, or the function may be switched depending on whether one button is long-pressed or short-pressed, thereby reducing the number of buttons.

  Next, processing of the card game A executed by the game apparatus 11 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. This process is started, for example, when the player inserts a medal into the medal control unit 25, specifies the number of bets using the BET button 157, the 5BET button 158, or the MAXBET button 159, and presses the START button 160. The At this time, the medal control unit 25 notifies the point management unit 37 of the number of inserted medals as the number of medals deposited.

  In step S1, the game apparatus 11 starts a game. Specifically, each unit of the game processing unit 22 initializes various variables and states. At this time, the bill management unit 31 resets the state of the deck, hand, and place tag. That is, the bill management unit 31 places a set of 52 playing cards on the deck and does not have any cards in the hand or the field tag. Further, the billing direction setting unit 32 sets the billing direction to an unset state.

  The display unit 23 and the audio output unit 24 stop the display of the screen (eg, a game demo screen) and the output of the audio that have been displayed so far under the control of the display control unit 51 and the audio control unit 52. Then, the display of the game screen shown in FIG. 2 and the output of sound are started.

  The input unit 21 notifies the point management unit 37 of the designated bet number. The point management unit 37 subtracts the bet number from the current deposited medal number. Further, the point management unit 37 notifies the interface control unit 38 of the number of bets and the number of medals deposited. The display unit 23 updates the bet number and the deposited medal number in the medal display area 110 under the control of the display control unit 51.

  In step S2, the bill management unit 31 distributes cards. Specifically, the bill management unit 31 shuffles the deck, determines the order of the deck, and moves the cards up to the fifth card from the top of the deck to the hand. Also, the bill management unit 31 moves the card on the top of the deck after transferring the five cards to the hand (that is, the sixth card of the deck) to the playing field. The bill management unit 31 notifies the interface control unit 38 of the state of the deck, hand, and place tag after the card is transferred, and notifies the tag placement determination unit 33 of the state of the hand after the card is transferred. Under the control of the display control unit 51, the display unit 23 displays the first tag in the tag display area 107 and displays the five cards in the hand display area 109. As a result, five cards are dealt to the player as a hand, and one card is put into play. Further, the display unit 23 updates the display of the number-of-places display area 102, the remaining card display area 105, and the deck display area 108 to the latest state under the control of the display control unit 51.

  In step S3, the bill removal determination unit 33 determines whether there is a card that can be put into play in the hand. Specifically, the tag placement determination unit 33 acquires information indicating the current tag placement direction from the tag placement direction setting unit 32, and acquires information indicating the latest rank of the field tag from the tag management unit 31. If the billing direction is not set, the billing determination unit 33 determines that the card in the hand has a different rank from the latest place tag and puts the card with the same rank as the latest place tag. It is determined that the card cannot be put into play. In addition, when the billing direction is set to HIGH, the billing determination unit 33 determines that a card having a higher rank than the latest place tag in the hand can be put into play, and the card with the latest place tag or less is determined. It is determined that the card cannot be put into play. Further, when the billing direction is set to LOW, the billing determination unit 33 determines that the card having a lower rank than the latest place tag in the hand can be put into play. It is determined that the card cannot be put into play. As a result of the above determination, if the bill removal determination unit 33 determines that there is a card that can be put into play in the hand, the process proceeds to step S4.

  In step S4, the bill removal determination unit 33 notifies the card management unit 31 and the interface control unit 38 of cards that can be put into play based on the determination result in step S3. Under the control of the display control unit 51, the display unit 23 displays the characters “SELECT” on the card that is determined to be able to enter the hand display area 109.

  In step S5, the game apparatus 11 moves the selected card to the field. Specifically, the player uses one of the SELECT buttons 151 to 155 to select one of the cards displaying “SELECT” from among the five cards displayed in the hand display area 109. And information indicating the selected card is input to the tag management unit 31. The bill management unit 31 moves the card selected by the player from the hand to the playing card. The bill management unit 31 notifies the interface control unit 38 of the status of the hand after the card is transferred, and the status of the tag after the transfer of the card is determined by the place tag determining unit 34, the point management unit 37, and the interface. Notify the control unit 38. Under the control of the display control unit 51, the display unit 23 deletes the cards selected by the player from the hand display area 109 and arranges them on the right side of the latest place tag displayed in the place tag display area 107. indicate. Further, the display unit 23 updates the display of the cursor position in the basic point display area 101, the number-of-places display area 102, and the remaining card display area 105 to the latest state under the control of the display control unit 51.

  In step S <b> 6, the place tag combination determination unit 34 determines the position of the place tag combination. Specifically, the place-tag combination determination unit 34 checks the progress of the place-post combination that has changed due to the addition of a new place tag based on the suit, rank, and color of the place-tag, and indicates the progress status as a point management unit. 37 and the interface control unit 38. Based on the control of the display control unit 51, the display unit 23 updates the display of the nameplate display area 106 to the latest state.

  In step S7, the point management unit 37 calculates points. Specifically, the point management unit 37 calculates the current basic point based on the number of the stage currently being played and the current number of place cards. In addition, when the complete cardboard combination is completed with the newly placed card, the point management unit 37 adds the bonus points for the completed complete combination to the bonus points accumulated so far. . In addition, when the chain color bonus points are increased by the card newly put in play, the point management unit 37 adds the increased points to the bonus points accumulated so far. The point management unit 37 notifies the interface control unit 38 of the player's earned points obtained by adding the calculated basic points and bonus points. The display unit 23 updates the number of acquired points in the medal display area 110 under the control of the display control unit 51.

  In step S8, the bill management unit 31 determines whether or not there is no hand. If it is determined that the hand remains, the process proceeds to step S9.

  In step S9, the billing direction setting unit 32 determines whether or not the billing direction needs to be changed. Specifically, the bill management unit 31 determines that the latest place tag (that is, a card newly put on the field by the player) and the previous place tag (that is, a card is newly put on the field by the player). Information indicating the rank of the card (which is sometimes the latest place tag) is notified to the tag placement direction setting unit 32. The billing direction setting unit 32 determines that the billing direction needs to be changed when the billing direction is not set, or when the latest place tag rank is 2 or the highest A. The process proceeds to step S10.

  In step S10, the billing direction setting unit 32 changes the billing direction. Specifically, the billing direction setting unit 32 determines that when the billing direction is not set, the latest place tag rank is higher than the previous place tag and is not the highest A, or the latest place Set the billing direction to HIGH when the rank of the tag is the lowest 2, and if the rank of the latest place tag is lower than the previous place tag and not the lowest 2, or the rank of the latest place tag When is the highest A, set the billing direction to LOW. In addition, when the billing direction is set, the billing direction setting unit 32 changes the billing direction to HIGH when the latest place tag rank is 2, and the latest place tag rank is changed. When it is the highest A, change the billing direction to LOW. The billing direction setting unit 32 notifies the billing determination unit 33 of the set or changed billing direction. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S11.

  As a result, when the billing direction is not set, when a card with a higher rank than the latest place tag and the highest ranking is put into play, or regardless of whether or not the billing direction is set If the card with the lowest card is put into play, the billing direction is set to HIGH, and if the billing direction is not set, the card with a lower rank than the latest card and with the lowest rank is put into play. When it is put out, or when the card with the highest ranking is put into play regardless of whether or not the billing direction is set, the billing direction is set to LOW.

  On the other hand, in step S9, when the billing direction is set, the billing direction setting unit 32 changes the billing direction when the latest place tag rank is neither the lowest 2 nor the highest A. It is determined that it is not necessary, the process of step S10 is skipped, and the process proceeds to step S11. That is, when the billing direction is set and the card that is neither 2 nor A is put into play, the billing direction is not changed as it is.

  In step S11, the bill management unit 31 determines whether or not the deck is left. If it is determined that the deck remains, the process proceeds to step S12.

  In step S12, the bill management unit 31 moves one card from the deck to the hand. That is, the bill management unit 31 moves the card on the top of the deck to the hand. The bill management unit 31 notifies the interface control unit 38 of the state of the deck and hand after the card is transferred. Further, the bill management unit 31 notifies the bill placement determination unit 33 of the state of the hand after the card is transferred. The display unit 23 displays the newly added hand in the hand display area 109 under the control of the display control unit 51. Further, the display unit 23 updates the display of the deck display area 108 to the latest state under the control of the display control unit 51.

  At this time, for example, by continuing to press one of the SELECT buttons 151 to 155 pressed to put the card into play in the step S5 (by long pressing), the card on the top of the deck is You may make it add the display effect which displays the display until it is turned and added to a hand taking longer time than usual. For example, in the state of FIG. 2, if the player presses the SELECT button 152 in order to put the second 9 cards of spades from the left of the hand display area 109 into play, As shown in FIG. 5, the card at the top of the deck display area 108 is placed face down in the second space from the left of the hand display area 109 and then displayed so that it is slowly turned over. . As a result, the player can experience a sense of expectation and tension as to what is the next card to be added to the hand as compared with the normal display.

  If any of the SELECT buttons 151 to 155 is pressed and released immediately, the top card in the deck display area 108 is immediately displayed face up in the hand display area 109. If any of the SELECT buttons 151 to 155 is pressed and held down while the card is being turned, the display effect is stopped at that time, and the card is displayed face up. This display effect can be applied not only to the card game A but also to other card games (for example, a card game B described later).

  Thereafter, the process returns to step S3, and the processes of steps S3 to S12 are repeated until it is determined in step S3 that there is no card that can be put into play or the hand is exhausted in step S8. Executed.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S11 that no deck is left, the process returns to step S3. In step S3, it is determined that there is no card that can be put into play, or in step S8, Steps S3 to S11 are repeatedly executed until it is determined that there is no more.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S8 that the hand has run out, the process proceeds to step S13.

  In step S13, the end processing unit 35 determines whether or not the final stage has been cleared. Specifically, the bill management unit 31 notifies the end processing unit 35 that the hand has been exhausted. If the end processing unit 35 determines whether or not the final stage has been cleared, and determines that the final stage has not yet been cleared, the process proceeds to step S14.

  In step S14, the game processing unit 22 performs stage clear processing. Specifically, the end processing unit 35 notifies the point management unit 37 and the interface control unit 38 of the cleared stage number. In addition, the end processing unit 35 notifies the tag management unit 31 that there is still a stage. The bill management unit 31 resets the state of the deck, hand, and place tag. The display unit 23 and the audio output unit 24 display a screen for notifying that the stage has been cleared and output audio based on the control of the display control unit 51 and the audio control unit 52, and display the next stage. To start. Thereafter, the process returns to step S2, and the process of the next stage is started.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S13 that the final stage has been cleared, the process proceeds to step S15.

  In step S15, the game processing unit 22 performs a final stage clear process. Specifically, the end processing unit 35 notifies the point management unit 37 and the interface control unit 38 that the final stage has been cleared. The display unit 23 and the audio output unit 24 notify that the final stage has been cleared based on the control of the display control unit 51 and the audio control unit 52, and select a screen for selecting whether or not to play a double up. Display and audio output. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S17.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S3 that there is no card that can be put into play in the hand, the process proceeds to step S16.

  In step S16, the game processing unit 22 performs a game over process. Specifically, the bill removal determination unit 33 notifies the end processing unit 35 that there are no cards that can be put into play in the hand. The end processing unit 35 notifies the point management unit 37 and the interface control unit 38 that the game is over. The display unit 23 and the audio output unit 24 notify that the game is over based on the control of the display control unit 51 and the audio control unit 52 and select a screen for selecting whether or not to play a double up. Display and audio output. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S17.

  In step S17, the game processing unit 22 performs a double-up process. The details of the double-up process will be described later with reference to FIG. 6. By this process, a double-up challenge is performed by the player's selection, and the acquired points increase or decrease based on the result.

  In step S18, the end processing unit 35 determines whether or not a refund is selected. At this point, the player can select a medal refund by pressing the PAYOUT button 162, and can play the game again by specifying the number of bets and pressing the START button 160. When it is notified from the input unit 21 that the START button 160 has been pressed, the end processing unit 35 determines that the game is selected to be played again, and determines that the game is selected to be played again. The management unit 31 is notified, and the process returns to step S1. Thereafter, the processing after step S1 is executed, and the processing of the next game is started.

  On the other hand, when it is notified in step S18 that the PAYOUT button 162 has been pressed from the input unit 21, the end processing unit 35 determines that the refund has been selected, and the process proceeds to step S19.

  In step S19, the medal control unit 25 performs a refund. Specifically, the end processing unit 35 instructs the point management unit 37 to return a medal. The point management unit 37 notifies the medal control unit 25 of the current number of medals deposited. The medal control unit 25 pays back the medal of the notified number of deposited medals to the player. Thereafter, the processing of the card game A ends.

  Next, details of the double-up process in step S17 of FIG. 4 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S51, the end processing unit 35 determines whether or not a challenge to double-up has been selected. At this point, the player can challenge double-up by pressing any one of the SELECT buttons 151 to 155 and the START button 160. By pressing the TAKE button 161, the player ends the game. Acquired points can be confirmed. When it is notified from the input unit 21 that any one of the SELECT buttons 151 to 155 and the START button 160 has been pressed, the end processing unit 35 determines that the challenge to double-up has been selected, and the process is stepped. Proceed to S52.

  At this time, the player presses the HALF button 163 before pressing any one of the SELECT buttons 151 to 155 and the START button 160, thereby obtaining a point that is ½ of the currently earned points. By betting (half-up) and depressing the RAISE button 164, it is possible to bet (raise up) twice as many points as the currently acquired points. When either the HALF button 163 or the RAISE button 164 is pressed, the input unit 21 notifies the double-up processing unit 36 that the button has been pressed. If neither the HALF button 163 nor the RAISE button 164 is pressed, all the points currently acquired are bet. The double-up processing unit 36 sets the bet number in accordance with the button pressed by the player, and notifies the point management unit 37 of the set bet number.

  Note that the number of double-up bets may be freely set within a predetermined range (for example, within a range from 1/2 to 2 times the currently acquired points).

  In step S52, the end processing unit 35 determines whether or not one or more stages have been cleared. If it is determined that one or more stages have been cleared, the process proceeds to step S53.

  In step S53, the end processing unit 35 determines whether or not a challenge to special double-up has been selected. At this point, the player can challenge a special double up by pressing the SELECT button 151, for example, and can challenge a normal double up by pressing the SELECT button 152. When it is notified from the input unit 21 that the SELECT button 152 has been pressed, the end processing unit 35 determines that a normal double-up challenge has been selected, and the process proceeds to step S54.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S52 that one or more stages have not been cleared, that is, if the game is over in the middle of the first stage, the process of step S53 is skipped, and the process proceeds to step S54.

  In step S54, the double-up processing unit 36 performs normal double-up. Specifically, the end processing unit 35 instructs the double-up processing unit 36 to execute normal double-up. This command includes information indicating which of the SELECT buttons 151 to 155 and the START button 160 has been pressed. The double up processing unit 36 selects a double up game to be executed according to the button pressed by the player. Specifically, when the pressed button is one of the SELECT buttons 151 to 155, the double-up processing unit 36 selects a game corresponding to the pressed button from five types of double-up games. To do. Further, when the pressed button is the START button 160, the double-up processing unit 36 selects a predetermined default double-up game when the current player tries to double-up for the first time, or selects a random number. The double up game is selected at random using the above, and when the current player tries the double up after the second time, the double up game executed last time is selected.

  The double-up processing unit 36 notifies the interface control unit 38 of the selected double-up game, and instructs the display of the double-up game screen and the output of sound. The display unit 23 and the audio output unit 24 start displaying the screen of the selected double-up game and outputting the audio based on the control of the display control unit 51 and the audio control unit 52.

  Then, the player plays the selected double-up game according to the screen displayed on the display unit 23. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S56.

  On the other hand, when it is notified in step S53 that the SELECT button 151 has been pressed from the input unit 21, the end processing unit 35 determines that a challenge to special double-up has been selected, and the process proceeds to step S55.

  In step S55, the double up processing unit 36 executes a special double up. Specifically, the end processing unit 35 instructs the double-up processing unit 36 to execute a special double-up. The double up processing unit 36 performs special double up. Note that the processing of the double-up processing unit 36 in step S55 is basically the same as the processing in step S54. However, in special double ups, unlike normal double ups, as a bonus for clearing the stage, for example, you can play a special double up exclusive double up game or set a higher bet number. Is possible. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S56.

  In step S56, the double-up processing unit 36 determines whether the double-up is successful. If the player can clear the double-up game, the double-up processing unit 36 determines that the double-up is successful, and the process proceeds to step S57.

  In step S57, the point management unit 37 adds points. Specifically, the double-up processing unit 36 notifies the end processing unit 35 and the point management unit 37 that the double-up is successful. The point management unit 37 adds the points BET in this double-up to the acquired points so far. The point management unit 37 notifies the current control points to the interface control unit 38. The display unit 23 updates the number of acquired points in the medal display area 110 under the control of the display control unit 51.

  Thereafter, the process returns to step S51, and the processes of steps S51 to S57 are repeatedly executed until it is determined in step S51 that the confirmation of points has been selected or until it is determined in step S56 that the double up has failed. The In other words, the player can press the TAKE 161 button to confirm the acquired points or repeatedly challenge the double up until the double up fails.

  As described above, the player can select a double-up game to be played or change the number of BET points each time a double-up is challenged. Further, the number of times of double-up play may be limited, or an upper limit of points that can be acquired by double-up may be set.

  On the other hand, if the player cannot clear the double-up game in step S56, the double-up processing unit 36 determines that the double-up has failed, and the process proceeds to step S58.

  In step S58, the point management unit 37 draws points. Specifically, the double up processing unit 36 notifies the end processing unit 35 and the point management unit 37 that the double up has failed. The point management unit 37 subtracts the points BET in this double-up from the acquired points so far. The point management unit 37 notifies the current control points to the interface control unit 38. The display unit 23 updates the number of acquired points in the medal display area 110 under the control of the display control unit 51. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S59.

  On the other hand, when it is notified in step S51 that the TAKE button 161 has been pressed from the input unit 21, the end processing unit 35 determines that the confirmation of points has been selected, and the process proceeds to step S59.

  In step S59, the point management unit 37 determines the points. Specifically, the end processing unit 35 instructs the point management unit 37 to confirm the points. The point management unit 37 resets the acquired points to 0, and adds the number of medals corresponding to the acquired points to the number of medals deposited. The point management unit 37 notifies the interface control unit 38 of the number of earned points and the number of deposited medals. The display unit 23 updates the number of acquired points and the number of deposited medals in the medal display area 110 under the control of the display control unit 51. Thereafter, the double-up process ends.

  If the PAYOUT button 162 is pressed in step S51, it may be determined that a refund has been selected, and after performing the process of step S59, the process may proceed to step S19 of FIG. 4 described above.

  As described above, a new card game with higher entertainment can be provided. Specifically, card game A is a simple rule, but it is very difficult to clear the stage continuously, and the player can play for a long time without feeling bored. In addition to clearing the stage, the player can aim for a place tag. When selecting a card to be put into play, the number of elements that the player's thoughts increase increases, and the excitement of the game increases.

  In addition, in the card game A, compared to the card game described in Patent Document 1 described above, the number of cards that can be put into the field increases on average, and the average number of cards that are finally put into the field also increases. . Therefore, the probability of clearing the stage is also increased, and the player can enjoy a greater sense of achievement.

  Here, a modified example of the rules of the card game A will be described.

  In the first modification, cards having the same rank as the latest place tag can be put into play regardless of the billing direction. In other words, when the billing direction is set to HIGH, it is determined that the card can be put into play with a card with a rank higher than the latest place tag, and when the billing direction is set to LOW, It is determined that the card with the rank lower than the latest place tag is a card that can be put into play, and if the bill placement direction is not set, it is determined that the card with all ranks can be put into play. Only when the billing direction is not set, it may be possible to put a card having the same rank as the latest place tag into play.

  The second modification is a further modification of the first modification. When a card with the same rank as the latest place tag is put into play, the billing direction is set to an unset state, All cards of can be put into play. This makes it possible to change the billing direction based on the player's will, further increasing the number of elements that involve the player's thoughts when selecting a card to be put into play, and further increasing the excitement of the game.

  In the third modification, a predetermined number of jokers are added to the deck, and the joker can be used as a wild card. That is, the joker can be used as a favorite card other than the joker. This increases the elements of developing a strategy for using wildcards, and increases the excitement of the game. A specific card (for example, a card with a rank of 7) may be used as a wild card without adding a joker to the deck.

  In the fourth modified example, a predetermined number of jokers are added to the deck (however, the number of cards in the hand is less than or equal to -1), and the jokers can only be put into play after all the cards other than jokers have come into play. It is to make. Thereby, when a joker is included in the hand, the number of cards that can be put into play is substantially reduced, so that the difficulty of the game can be increased. A card other than a joker (for example, a card with a rank of 7) may be set as a card that cannot be put into play unless all other cards are put into play.

  In the fifth modification, a card having a predetermined rank cannot be put into play last. For example, since the card with the highest rank A and the card with the lowest 2 are easy to put into play at the end, the psychological state that the player wants to hold the cards A and 2 as a hand as much as possible works. Therefore, the difficulty of the game can be increased by preventing the cards A and 2 from being put into play last.

  A plurality of modified examples may be combined within a possible range. For example, combinations of the first modification, the third modification, the fifth modification, the second modification, the fourth modification, and the like are possible. Further, the above modification can be realized, for example, by changing the setting condition of the billing direction by the billing direction setting unit 32 and the determination condition of the cards that can be put into play by the billing determination unit 33. is there.

  In the above description, the first place card is put out from the deck, but it may be selected from the hand. Thereby, the player can devise a strategy from when the first card is put into play, and the excitement of the game increases.

  In the above description, an example is shown in which the billing direction is not set at the beginning of the stage. However, the billing direction may be set to HIGH or LOW at the beginning of the stage. For example, the billing direction may be set at the beginning of the stage using a random number or the like, or the billing direction may be set according to the rank of the first place tag.

  Furthermore, the order of cards is not limited to the above example, but other orders (for example, the order of A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K). ).

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing a second embodiment of the game device to which the present invention is applied. The game device 201 is a device that performs processing of a card game (hereinafter referred to as a card game B) using playing cards (Playing Cards). In the figure, parts corresponding to those in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description of parts having the same processing will be omitted because it will be repeated.

  Here, the rules of the card game B will be described. Card game B, like card game A, chooses a card that satisfies a given condition from the cards handed out to the player and puts it into play. It is a game that aims to put out as many cards as possible while drawing one card and adding it to your hand.

  Specifically, first, five cards are dealt to the player as a hand from a deck of 52 cards of a set of playing cards. If there are no cards in play, the player can put his or her favorite cards into play from his hand. In addition, if a card is in play, the player can choose a card with the same suit as the latest place tag, or a card whose rank is adjacent to the latest place tag regardless of the suit (the rank before and after the latest place tag). Card) can be put into play. For example, if the latest place card is 7 of spades, the player can put a card with a spade of spades or a card with a rank of 6 or 8 from the hand. The cards whose rank is adjacent to the A card are 2 and K cards, and the cards whose rank is adjacent to the K card are 1 and Q cards.

  And if you can put all your decks into play and lose your hand, you will be able to clear the game in one stage. The player can challenge up to a predetermined number (for example, 5) of stages, and the game ends when the final stage is cleared. On the other hand, if there are no cards in play that can be put into play, the game is over. The player is given basic points according to the number of stages cleared and the number of cards put into play.

  Similarly to the card game A, when the above-mentioned place card combination is completed, bonus points corresponding to the completed field card combination are awarded to the player. Furthermore, the basic points and bonus points vary depending on the number of bets designated by the player before playing the game. That is, the higher the bet number, the higher the points awarded, and the lower the bet number, the lower the points awarded.

  The game device 201 is configured to include an input unit 21, a game processing unit 221, a display unit 23, an audio output unit 24, and a medal control unit 25.

  The game processing unit 221 includes, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a memory, and the like, and controls processing of the card game B by executing a predetermined control program. When the game processing unit 221 executes a predetermined control program, a bill management unit 231, a bill removal determination unit 233, a place tag determination unit 234, an end processing unit 235, a double-up processing unit 236, a point management unit 237, and The functions including the interface control unit 238 are realized. Note that in the game processing unit 221, the portions corresponding to the game processing unit 22 in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals in the last two digits, and the description of the portions having the same processing will be omitted because it will be repeated. .

  The bill management unit 231 manages the state of the deck, hand, and place tag, and if necessary, displays the state of the deck, the state of the hand, and the state of the place tag. The determination unit 234, end processing unit 235, point management unit 237, and interface control unit 238 are notified.

  As will be described later with reference to FIG. 9, the bill removal determination unit 233 determines whether or not each card in the hand can be put into play, and determines the determination result as a bill management unit 231, an end processing unit 235, and The interface control unit 238 is notified.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 23 while the card game B is played. In the figure, parts corresponding to those in FIG.

  In the screen of FIG. 8, compared to the screen of FIG. 2, the remaining card display area 105 is replaced with the remaining card display area 301 and the place tag display area 107 is replaced with the place tag display area 302.

  The remaining card display area 301 is different from the remaining card display area 105 in FIG. 2 in the card display order. That is, in the remaining card display area 105, the remaining cards are displayed in order of 2, 3, 4,..., K, A from the top, whereas in the remaining card display area 301, A, 2 from the top. The remaining cards are displayed in the order of 3, 4,. Of the remaining card display area 301, regardless of whether it is in the hand or not, the card corresponding to the card that can be put into play is changed in color or flashed to select a card that can be put into play. You may make it show clearly.

  The place tag display area 302 is different from the place label display area 107 in FIG. 2 in that an arrow indicating whether the rank is higher or lower than the previous card is not displayed on each card.

  In FIG. 8, the points displayed in the basic point display area 101, the chain color point display area 103, and the placemark point display area 104 have the same values as in FIG. It is possible to set different points for the game A and the card game B.

  Next, the process of the card game B executed by the game apparatus 201 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. This process is started, for example, when the player inserts a medal into the medal control unit 25, specifies the number of bets using the BET button 157, the 5BET button 158, or the MAXBET button 159, and presses the START button 160. The At this time, the medal control unit 25 notifies the point management unit 37 of the number of inserted medals as the number of medals deposited.

  In step S101, the game processing unit 221 starts a game (card game B) by a process similar to the process of the game apparatus 11 in step S1 of FIG.

  In step S102, the bill management unit 231 distributes cards. Specifically, the bill management unit 231 shuffles the deck, determines the order of the deck, and moves the cards up to the fifth card from the top of the deck to the hand. The bill management unit 231 notifies the interface control unit 238 of the state of the deck and hand after the card is transferred, and notifies the tag placement determination unit 233 of the state of the hand after the card is transferred. The display unit 23 displays five cards in the hand display area 109 under the control of the display control unit 251. As a result, five cards are dealt to the player as a hand. The display unit 23 updates the display of the deck display area 108 to the latest state based on the control of the display control unit 251.

  In step S103, the bill removal determination unit 233 determines whether there is a card that can be put into play in the hand. Specifically, the bill placement determination unit 233 acquires information indicating the latest rank and suit of the place tag from the tag management unit 231. The tag removal determination unit 233 determines that the card in the hand has the same suit as the latest place tag or the card whose rank is adjacent to the latest place tag and can put the other cards in play. It is determined that the card cannot be taken out. In addition, when there is no place tag, the tag removal determination unit 233 determines that all cards in the hand can be put into play. If it is determined that there is a card that can be put into play in the hand as a result of the above determination, the process proceeds to step S104.

  The processing in steps S104 to S107 is the same as the processing in steps S4 to S7 in FIG. 4 described above, and the description thereof will be omitted because it will be repeated.

  In step S108, as in the process of step S8 in FIG. 4 described above, it is determined whether or not the hand is exhausted. If it is determined that the hand is not exhausted, the process proceeds to step S109.

  In step S109, it is determined whether or not the deck remains, similarly to the process in step S11 of FIG. 4 described above. If it is determined that the deck remains, the process proceeds to step S110. In step S110, one card is transferred from the deck to the hand in the same manner as in step S12 of FIG. Thereafter, the processing returns to step S103, and the processing of steps S103 to S110 is repeated until it is determined in step S103 that there is no card that can be put into play in the hand or until it is determined in step S108 that there is no more hand. Executed.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S109 that no deck remains, the process returns to step S103. In step S103, it is determined that there is no card in the hand that can be put into play, or in step S108, the hand. Steps S103 to S109 are repeatedly executed until it is determined that there is no more.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S108 that the hand has run out, the process proceeds to step S111.

  If it is determined in step S103 that there is no card that can be put into play in the hand, the process proceeds to step S114.

  The processing of steps S111 to S117 is the same as the processing of steps S14 to S19 of FIG. 4 described above, and the description thereof will be omitted because it will be repeated.

  As described above, a new card game with higher entertainment can be provided. Specifically, the card game B is a simple rule, but it is very difficult to clear the stage continuously, and the player can play for a long time without feeling bored. In addition to clearing the stage, the player can aim for a place tag. When selecting a card to be put into play, the number of elements that the player's thoughts increase increases, and the excitement of the game increases.

  In addition, in the card game B, compared to the card game described in Patent Document 1 described above, the number of cards that can be put into the field is increased on average, and the average number of cards that are finally put into the field is also increased. . Therefore, the probability of clearing the stage is also increased, and the player can enjoy a greater sense of achievement.

  Note that the above-described modifications 3 to 5 of the card game A can also be applied to the card game B.

  Hereafter, the modification which can be considered in both card games A and B is demonstrated.

  First, the place-card combination is not limited to the above example, and other combinations can be added or the combination can be reduced. For example, the following example can be considered as another place tag combination.

-Bonus points will be awarded if you play poker on 5 consecutive cards.
・ Bonus points are awarded according to the number of consecutive odd or even cards.
・ Bonus points are awarded according to the number of consecutive cards of the same rank, such as 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, and 4.
-Bonus points are awarded according to the number of consecutive 1, 1 and 10 picture cards (J, Q, K).

  Further, bonus points may be awarded when a hand combination defined based on at least one of hand suit, rank and color is completed. As a result, the player can aim for a hand in addition to the place card combination, further increasing the number of elements that the player's thoughts intervene when selecting a card to be put on the field, and further increasing the excitement of the game. For example, the following combinations can be considered as the hand combination.

・ Poker role. Further, higher bonus points may be given when the poker combination is completed with the hand handed out first.
・ Bonus points will be given according to the number of times the hand color is red or black only.
Bonus points are awarded when the total rank of the hand reaches a predetermined value (for example, 21).

  Further, the arrangement of decks may be determined randomly using random numbers or may be determined according to a predetermined algorithm. Further, the deck may be shuffled at an appropriate timing or always without determining the arrangement of decks at the beginning of the stage. For example, the card to be drawn from the deck may be determined according to the timing at which the player operates the input unit 21 by shuffling the deck when drawing the card from the deck.

  In the above description, the number of cards in the hand is five. However, the number of cards may be other than five.

  Furthermore, in the above description, the maximum number of stages is set, but it is also possible not to limit the number of stages.

  In the above description, one set of playing cards is used for a one-stage game, but two or more sets of playing cards may be used. That is, two or more sets of playing cards may be used as a deck.

  Furthermore, it is possible not to add a place tag to the rule. In this case, if at least the rank and suit of the hand and the latest place tag are displayed on the display unit 23, the game can be played.

  The deck may not be displayed on the screen.

  Further, a progressive system may be applied to the card game A and the card game B. Here, the progressive system means that a part of medals bet in the card game A or card game B is pooled in a jackpot, and a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, when the final stage is cleared, This is a system that gives pooled medals to players who have met the conditions. In the progressive system, a plurality of game devices are connected via a network or the like, a jackpot is shared, and medals from a plurality of game devices are pooled in one jackpot (or (Linked Progressive) One type of game device has one jackpot, and there is a stand-alone type in which only medals of the game device are pooled in the jackpot.

  In addition, the link progressive is not only a game device dedicated to the card game A or the card game B but also, for example, a personal computer or a general-purpose game device that executes the software of the card game A or the card game B on a network or the like. It is also possible to apply to an online game connected via the Internet. Also, the types of games connected to the link progressive need not necessarily be the same. For example, a jackpot medal is given to a player who satisfies a predetermined condition set in each game. It is also possible.

  Moreover, although the example which uses a medal for playing a game was shown in the above description, for example, instead of a medal, a coin, a banknote, a ticket, various cards (for example, an IC card, a prepaid card, a credit card, etc.) ) Etc. can also be used. Also, for example, it is possible to enjoy the number of cards, the number of cleared stages, and the number of points earned that can be simply put into play without using medals or the like.

  The series of processes described above can be executed by hardware or can be executed by software. When a series of processing is executed by software, a program constituting the software executes various functions by installing a computer incorporated in dedicated hardware or various programs. For example, the program is installed in a general-purpose computer from a program recording medium.
