[4. Explanation of operation]
In a situation where the display control unit 552 displays the racehorse designation image G1 shown in FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B, or FIG. 2C on the display device 11, the player races the horse (horse number) without designating the betting method. Can be specified.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the game apparatus 1 (specifically, the station unit 10 and the center unit 30) when the player specifies the racehorse without specifying the betting method.
The player inputs to the game apparatus 1 designation of a racehorse and designation of evaluation for the racehorse by touching the racehorse designation image G1. The designation accepting unit 551 accepts designation of a racehorse and designation of evaluation via the operation accepting device 12 (step S500).

Subsequently, the display control unit 552 selects an available betting method based on the designation of the competitive horse and the designation of evaluation received by the designation receiving unit 551 (step S502).
In step S502, when the designation receiving unit 551 does not receive an evaluation, the display control unit 552 selects an available betting method based on the number of designated racehorses. In the present embodiment, the display control unit 552 can use a betting method that can use a betting method in which the number of competing horses required for specifying betting candidates is equal to or less than the number of designated racehorses among a plurality of types of betting methods. Select as.
On the other hand, when the designation receiving unit 551 receives the evaluation for the racehorse, in step S502, the display control unit 552 selects an available betting method based on the evaluation for the racehorse. In the present embodiment, the display control unit 552 selects a bet method that has received an evaluation necessary for identifying bet candidates as a usable bet method from among a plurality of types of bet methods. In addition, in any of the plurality of types of betting methods, when the evaluation necessary for specifying the betting candidate is not accepted, the display control unit 552 is necessary for specifying the betting candidate among the plurality of types of betting methods. A betting method in which the number of competing horses is equal to or less than the number of designated racing horses is selected as an available betting method.

When selecting an available bet method, the display control unit 552 displays bet candidates belonging to any of the selected bet methods on the display device 11 as selected bet candidates (step S504).
In step S504, the display control unit 552 displays a bet candidate corresponding to the designated racehorse on the display device 11 as a selected bet candidate from a bet candidate group in which a plurality of bet candidates belonging to the available bet methods are collected. To do.

For example, when the horse number “4” and the horse number “6” are designated without evaluation, the display control unit 552 designates the horse number “4” and the horse number “6” as the first place in the win bet method. One bet target that specifies [horse number “4” / horse number “6”] as a combination of “first and second” in a horse betting method and two horses in a wide bet method [horse number] One betting object that designates “4” / horse number “6”], and “1st and 2nd” in the horse single betting method, [horse number “4”, horse number “6”], [horse number “6”, horse number A total of six betting objects including two betting objects respectively designating “4”] are displayed on the display device 11 as selection betting candidates.
Note that the display control unit 552 does not have to display the selected bet candidate of the winning bet method on the display device 11.

  In addition, a racehorse is designated with an evaluation, and a sink bet method, a one-flow bet method, a two-flow bet method, a multi-flow bet method, a single-head flow bed method, and a two-head flow bed method When the 1-head multi-flow betting method, 2-head multi-flow betting method, and box betting method are selected as available betting methods, select as follows for each available betting method. Bet candidates are determined.

  When the sink bet method is selected as an available bet method, the display control unit 552 uses a racehorse that uses “real” as the “axis” and has received an evaluation other than “real” as the “partner”. The selection bet candidate corresponding to the designated racehorse is determined.

  When the one-flow betting method is selected as an available betting method, the display control unit 552 uses a racehorse that uses “real” as the “axis” and has received an evaluation other than “real” as the “partner”. Thus, the selected bet candidate corresponding to the designated racehorse is determined.

  When the 2-flow betting method is selected as an available betting method, the display control unit 552 uses a racehorse that uses “real” as the “axis” and has received an evaluation other than “real” as the “partner”. Thus, the selected bet candidate corresponding to the designated racehorse is determined.

  When the multi-sink betting method is selected as an available betting method, the display control unit 552 uses a racehorse that uses “real” as the “axis” and has received an evaluation other than “real” as the “partner”. Thus, the selected bet candidate corresponding to the designated racehorse is determined.

  When the single-head axial betting method is selected as an available betting method, the display control unit 552 uses the “real” as the “axis” and the racehorse that has received an evaluation other than the “real” as the “partner”. By using, a selection bet candidate corresponding to the designated racehorse is determined.

  When the two-head axial betting method is selected as an available betting method, the display control unit 552 uses “real” and “counter” as “axis” and “real” and “counter” as “partner”. The selected bet candidate corresponding to the designated racehorse is determined by using the racehorse that has received an evaluation that is not any of the above.

  When the single head multi-flow betting method is selected as an available betting method, the display control unit 552 uses the “favorite” as the “axis” and the race that has received an evaluation other than the “favorite” as the “partner”. By using the horse, the selection bet candidate corresponding to the designated racehorse is determined.

  When the two-head axis multi-flow betting method is selected as an available betting method, the display control unit 552 uses “real” and “counter” as “axis” and “real” and “counter” as “partner”. The selected bet candidate corresponding to the designated racehorse is determined by using a racehorse that has received an evaluation that is not any of the above.

  When the box betting method is selected as an available betting method, the display control unit 552 uses the racehorse that has received each evaluation as the racehorse designated for the box betting method, thereby specifying the designated racehorse. A corresponding selection bet candidate is determined.

  In step S504, the display control unit 552 displays the selected bet candidates on the display device 11 for each betting method as shown in FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 2C.

When the selected bet candidate is displayed on the display device 11, the player uses the operation accepting device 12 to specify the selected bet candidate scheduled to bet from the selected bet candidates. Specifically, the player touches the selected bet candidate scheduled to bet among the selected bet candidates displayed in the racehorse designation image G1.
When the operation accepting device 12 accepts a touch on the selected bet candidate shown in the racehorse designation image G1, the bet accepting unit 553 accepts a bet on the touched selected bet candidate (step S506).

Subsequently, at a predetermined timing, the lottery execution unit 554 executes a lottery for selecting a racehorse corresponding to the rank from a plurality of racehorses for each rank in the race (step S508).
In step S508, the lottery execution unit 554 first determines the first racehorse by lottery from a plurality of racehorses based on the ability parameters of each racehorse. Subsequently, the lottery execution unit 554 draws the second racehorse from the remaining racehorses based on the ability parameters of the remaining racehorses excluding the racehorse that became the first race from a plurality of racehorses. To decide. Thereafter, the lottery execution unit 554 similarly repeats the lottery until the lowest-order racehorse is determined. The field control unit 556 controls the plurality of model horses 33 so as to match the lottery result.

Subsequently, the winning determination unit 555 makes a winning determination based on the lottery result of the lottery execution unit 554 and the bet candidates received by the bet receiving unit 553 (step S510).
In step S510, the winning determination unit 555 determines bet candidates for which winning is established for bet candidates of each betting method according to the lottery result of the lottery execution unit 554.
For example, when the first order is horse number 2 and the second is horse number 5 is determined by lottery, the winning determination unit 555 determines whether “winning horse number 2”, “double (horse) betting method” It is determined that the betting object “the combination of horse number 2 and horse number 5” has won. On the other hand, if the first order is horse number 5 and the second is horse number 2, the winning determination unit 555 determines that the betting object of “single-winning betting number 2” has not won, It is determined that the betting object of “a combination of horse number 2 and horse number 5 in a continuous (horse run) betting system” has won.
Subsequently, the winning determination unit 555 gives a reward to the player only for the betting candidates that have won the bet among the betting candidates received by the bet receiving unit 553. This reward is managed by the credit management unit 557.

  According to the present embodiment, even in a lottery game having a plurality of types of betting methods, if the player simply designates one or more lottery elements, it corresponds to at least one of the one or more lottery elements accepted for designation. One or more betting candidates are displayed. This eliminates the need for the player to specify a betting method in addition to specifying lottery elements, thereby reducing the player's bet operation burden. In addition, even in a lottery game having a plurality of types of betting methods, it is possible to display a plurality of bet candidates across a plurality of types by simply specifying one or more lottery elements. It is reduced.

[5. Additional functions]
A configuration in which a bet candidate corresponding to a designated racehorse of another player is presented to the player is conceivable. However, if there are many bet candidates according to the designated racehorses of other players, the player may not analyze the very many bet candidates presented and may not refer to these bet candidates. In this case, there is a possibility that presentation of bet candidates according to the designated racehorse of another player is wasted.
Therefore, the control unit 550 causes the display device 11 of one station unit 10 to display one or more betting candidates corresponding to at least one of the one or more racehorses that have received designations from other players in the other station unit 10. May be further displayed together with the evaluation of other players with respect to the racehorse that has received the designation. Specifically, based on the information of the other station units 10 acquired by the designation receiving unit 551, the bet receiving unit 553, and the winning determination unit 555, the display control unit 552 displays the information on the display device 11 of one station unit 10. Determine the content.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a racehorse designation image G1 displayed on the display device 11 by this function.
The racehorse designation image G1 shown in FIG. 7 has an image G1b. The image G1b shows one or more bet candidates (selected bet candidates) corresponding to at least one of the one or more racehorses that have received designations from other players in the other station unit 10 with respect to the racehorse that has received designations. It is displayed together with the evaluation of the other player. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the image G1b displays the predictions of two other players (designated racehorses of other players and their evaluations, and examples of betting candidates specified by the evaluations). .

  When the image G1b is displayed, the player of a certain station unit 10 can analyze the betting candidates according to the designated racehorse of the other player based on the evaluation of the other player to the designated racehorse. For this reason, it becomes easy for a player to bet on the same bet candidate as the bet candidate corresponding to the designated racehorse of another player. Therefore, the number of bets can be increased.

The number of other players and the number of bet candidates to be presented are not limited. However, if the number of other players and the number of bet candidates to be presented are too large, the number depends on the designated racehorse of the other player. Analysis of bet candidates may take time. Therefore, for example, it is preferable that the number of other players is three at the maximum, and the number of bet candidates provided from the other players is about two types.
Note that the control unit 550 may select another station unit 10 based on the winning or losing of the previous horse racing game at each station unit 10 or may select at random. For example, the control unit 550 selects, as the other station unit 10, the station unit 10 that is played by the player who has received a reward in the previous horse racing game among the other station units 10.
