The credit management unit 561 consumes credits according to the player's participation in the horse racing game. The credit management unit 561 manages the payout of coins from the payout opening 15. The credit management unit 561 updates the number of credits according to the reward.

[4. Explanation of operation]
FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the game apparatus 1 (specifically, the station unit 10 and the center unit 30). In the following, it is assumed that the support image G1 is displayed on the display device 11 by the player operating the button P1 of the game image G.

  The bet candidate question unit 551 displays the question regarding the bet candidate as the secretary comment A2, and displays the answer candidate for the question in the communication window A3 (step S500). Therefore, the player feels that the secretary A1 is asking a question regarding the bet candidate.

  In step S500, for example, a question for specifying a betting method, a question for specifying a competitive horse, and a question for specifying a bet candidate based on odds are used as the questions regarding the bet candidate.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a combination example of a question and an answer candidate for specifying a betting method.
In the combination D1, a question for specifying one of the win betting method and the horse betting method as the betting method and two answer candidates are shown. In this example, the player answers “single win” or “maren”. The answer “winning” is used to specify the winning betting method as the betting method. The answer “horse ream” is used to specify the horse ream betting method as the betting method.
In the combination D2, as a betting method, a question for specifying whether or not it is a triple-double betting method and two answer candidates are shown. In this example, the player answers “Suki” or “Kirai”. The answer “suki” is used to specify the triple-double betting method as the betting method. The answer “Kirai” is used to specify a betting method other than the triple double betting method as the betting method.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a combination of a question and an answer candidate for specifying a racehorse.
The combination D3 is used to specify the racehorse in terms of the horse name. For example, the answer “buy” is used to identify “AA” as a competitive horse.
The combination D4 is used to specify a racehorse from the viewpoint of a racehorse owned by the player. For example, the answer “support” is used to identify the racehorse of the player as the racehorse.
The combination D5 is used to identify the racehorse in terms of the racehorse condition in the paddock. For example, the answer “BB” is used to identify “BB” as a competitive horse. The answer “CC” is used to identify “CC” as a competitive horse.
The combination D6 is used to specify the racehorse in terms of the frame to which the racehorse belongs.
The combination D7 is used to specify the racehorse in terms of the racehorse quality.
In addition, as another example of the viewpoint for specifying the racehorse, there are a viewpoint of a jockey, a viewpoint of a racehorse lineage, a viewpoint of popularity, a viewpoint of a winning horse of the previous race, and the like.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a combination of a question and an answer candidate for specifying the odds range of the bet candidates to be selected.
The combination D8 is used to determine whether or not to select a bet candidate associated with an odds higher than the first threshold. For example, the answer “yes” is used to select bet candidates associated with odds higher than the first threshold.
The combination D9 is used to determine whether or not to select a bet candidate associated with an odds lower than the second threshold (second threshold <first threshold). For example, the answer “yes” is used to select bet candidates associated with odds lower than the second threshold.

  The player inputs an answer to the question regarding the bet candidate to the game apparatus 1 by touching any of the answer candidates.

  When the operation accepting device 12 accepts the player's touch, the bet candidate question unit 551 accepts the touched answer as the player's bet candidate answer (step S502).

  Subsequently, the bet amount question unit 552 displays a question regarding the bet amount as a secretary comment A2, and displays a candidate for an answer to the question in the communication window A3 (step S504). Therefore, the player feels that the secretary A1 is asking a question regarding the bet amount.

FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a combination of a question regarding a bet amount and an answer candidate.
The combination D10 is used to specify whether or not the reference bet amount is “100 bets”. For example, the answer “Yes” is used to select 100 bets as the bet amount.
The combination D11 is used to specify whether or not to increase the bet amount compared to the previous time. For example, the answer “yes” is used to specify that the bet amount is to be increased compared to the previous time.
The combination D12 is used to specify whether or not to reduce the bet amount compared to the previous time. For example, the answer “yes” is used to specify that the bet amount is to be reduced compared to the previous time.
The combination D11 is used, for example, when the number of credits of the player exceeds a specified value. The combination D12 is used, for example, when the number of credits of the player is less than a specified value.

  The player inputs the player's answer to the question regarding the bet amount to the game apparatus 1 by touching one of the answer candidates for the question.

  When the operation accepting device 12 accepts the player's touch, the bet amount questioning unit 552 accepts the touched answer as an answer of the player's bet amount (step S506).

  Subsequently, the priority notification unit 553 selects a priority bet candidate based on the answer to the question regarding the bet candidate, and further selects a bet amount candidate based on the answer to the question regarding the bet amount (step S508).

In step S508, the priority notification unit 553 selects a priority bet candidate as follows.
For example, when there is an answer “MAREN” regarding the combination D1, an answer “Buy” regarding the combination D3, and an answer “YES” regarding the combination D8, the priority notification unit 553 has a plurality of bets of the horse betting method. Among the candidates, a bet candidate corresponding to the horse name “AA” and associated with an odds higher than the first threshold is selected as a priority bet candidate.

In step S510, the priority notification unit 553 selects a bet amount candidate as follows.
For example, when there is a reply of “100 bets” regarding the combination D10, the priority notification unit 553 selects “100 bets” as a bet amount candidate.
In addition, when there is an answer “Yes” regarding the combination D11, the priority notification unit 553 selects a bet amount obtained by adding a first predetermined number of bets (for example, 20 bets) to the previous bet amount as a bet amount candidate. To do. The first predetermined bet number is not limited to 20 bets and can be changed as appropriate.
Further, when there is an answer “Yes” regarding the combination D12, the priority notification unit 553 selects a bet amount obtained by subtracting a second predetermined number of bets (for example, 10 bets) from the previous bet amount as a candidate for the bet amount. To do. The second predetermined bet number is not limited to 10 bets and can be changed as appropriate. If the bet amount obtained by subtracting the second predetermined number of bets from the previous bet amount is smaller than 1, the combination D12 is not used.

  Subsequently, the priority notification unit 553 displays the priority bet candidates and the bet amount candidates on the communication window A3 (step S510). Therefore, the player feels that the secretary A1 is presented with the priority bet candidate and the bet amount candidate. Therefore, even if the player is not accustomed to the horse racing game, it becomes easy to specify a bet candidate to be specified from among a plurality of bet candidates according to the presentation of the secretary A1.

In step S510, when the number of priority bet candidates selected in step S508 is greater than a predetermined value (eg, “2”), the priority notification unit 553 selects a communication window from among three or more priority bet candidates. You may select the priority bet candidates displayed in A3 by the number of predetermined values. The predetermined value is not limited to 2 and can be changed as appropriate.
Further, when displaying a plurality of priority bet candidates in the communication window A3, the priority notification unit 553 may change the bet amount candidates for each priority bet candidate (see FIG. 2).

Subsequently, the bet receiving unit 554 receives a bet designating a bet amount for at least one bet candidate among a plurality of bet candidates (step S512).
For example, the bet receiving unit 554 receives a bet specifying a bet amount for a bet candidate through a narrowing operation. Further, the bet receiving unit 554 (priority bet receiving unit 554a) receives a touch on the button P2 displayed on the communication window A3, and the operation receiving device 12 receives the bet receiving unit 554 to the priority bet candidate B1 displayed on the communication window A3. A bet is accepted with the bet amount candidate C1.
The bet receiving unit 554 stores the bet history received from the player in the storage device 34 as information on the player's betting tendency.

Subsequently, at a predetermined timing, the lottery execution unit 557 executes a lottery for selecting a racehorse corresponding to the rank from a plurality of racehorses for each rank in the race (step S514).
In step S514, the lottery execution unit 557 first determines the first racehorse by lottery from a plurality of racehorses based on the performance parameters of each racehorse. Subsequently, the lottery execution unit 557 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 557 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 558 determines that only the betting candidates corresponding to the lottery result among the betting candidates received by the betting receiving unit 554 are winning (Step S516).
For example, when the order of arrival is determined by lottery in which the first place is the horse number “2” and the second place is the horse number “5”, the winning determination unit 558 selects the bet candidate of the horse number “2” of the single win bet system, It is determined that a bet candidate of a combination of horse number “2” and horse number “5” in the double and horse betting methods 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 558 does not win the bet candidate for the horse number “2” of the single bet method. It is determined that the betting target of the combination of the horse number “2” and the horse number “5” of the double and horse betting methods has won.

  Subsequently, when the bet candidate in which the winning is achieved is not the priority bet candidate (step S518: NO), the reward granting unit 559 grants a reward (credit) corresponding to the odds of the bet candidate as the first reward (step S520). ). In response to the grant of the first reward, the credit management unit 561 updates the number of credits.

  On the other hand, if the winning bet candidate is a priority bet candidate (step S518: YES), the reward granting unit 559 adds an additional reward (first reward) in addition to the reward (first reward) according to the odds of the bet candidate. 2 rewards) (step S522).

  With this additional reward, the player can be motivated to bet on the betting candidates recommended by the secretary A1.

In the present embodiment, the reward granting unit 559 adds a predetermined parameter as an additional reward. The value of the predetermined parameter is shown on the secretary gauge A4 (see FIG. 2). The initial value of the predetermined parameter may be, for example, MIN (minimum value) or a value between MIN and MAX (maximum value). When the value of the predetermined parameter reaches the first specific value (for example, MAX in the secretary gauge A4 shown in FIG. 2), the reward granting unit 559 has a right to play a predetermined game in which the amount of reward in horse racing competes with the secretary A1. Is given to the player. Therefore, the player can be motivated to bet on the betting candidates recommended by the secretary A1.
The reward granting unit 559 may subtract a predetermined parameter as an additional reward. In this case, the initial value of the predetermined parameter may be, for example, MAX or a value between MIN and MAX. When the value of the predetermined parameter becomes the second specific value (for example, MIN in the secretary gauge A4 shown in FIG. 2), the reward granting unit 559 grants the player the right to play the predetermined game.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining an example of the predetermined game. The player operates the game image G, selects a bet candidate, and bets on the selected bet candidate. In FIG. 10, betting candidates selected by the player are shown in the communication window A3. When the player wins the secretary A1 in the predetermined game, the reward granting unit 559 gives a predetermined item to the player.

In this embodiment, even if a player leaves | separates from the game device 1, the game device 1 can play a horse racing game on behalf of a player. The result of the horse racing game played on behalf of the player after leaving the game device 1 is stored in the game device 1 or the storage device of the server device connected to the game device 1 via the network in association with the identification information of the player. Is done. When the player resumes playing in the game apparatus 1, the result of the horse racing game stored in the storage device in association with the identification information of the player is acquired and notified to the player. In addition, after a player leaves | separates from the game apparatus 1, another player can also play.
FIG. 11 is a flowchart for explaining an operation in which the game apparatus 1 performs a horse racing game on behalf of the player. 11, the same operations as those shown in FIG. 5 are denoted by the same reference numerals. Hereinafter, the operation illustrated in FIG. 11 will be described focusing on differences from the operation illustrated in FIG.

  For example, when the player leaves the game apparatus 1 and touches the button P5 (see FIG. 2) in the game image G, the instruction bet execution unit 556 receives a bet execution instruction operation via the operation reception apparatus 12. Upon receiving a bet execution instruction operation, the instruction bet execution unit 556 sets an automatic bet mode. In the setting of the automatic bet mode, the player can designate the maximum number of credits that can be used in the automatic bet mode, and an automatic bet is made within the range. When the automatic bet mode is set, the credit management unit 561 stores the number of credits at the time of setting the automatic bet mode in the storage device 34, and the bet tendency information collection unit 555 stores the bet tendency of the player from the storage device 34. Trend information is collected (step S524).

Subsequently, the instruction bet execution unit 556 selects bet candidates and bet amounts based on the bet tendency information collected by the bet tendency information collection unit 555 (step S526).
In step S526, for example, the ratio of the bet to the bet candidate of the single bet method is higher than the ratio of the bet to the bet candidate of the other bet method, and the odds of the bet candidate of the single bet method bet are three times or less. If the bet tendency information indicates that the bet tendency information, the instruction bet execution unit 556 selects a bet candidate whose odds are three times or less from a plurality of bet candidates of the single-bet method.
In step S526, when the bet tendency information indicates that 30 bets are most often used as the bet amount, the instruction bet execution unit 556 selects 30 bets as the bet amount.
Note that the selection method of bet candidates and bet amounts in step S526 can be changed as appropriate.

  Subsequently, the instruction bet execution unit 556 executes a bet with the bet amount selected in step S526 on the bet candidate selected in step S526 (step S528). The bet executed by the instruction bet execution unit 556 is received by the bet reception unit 554 (step S512). Thereafter, the operations after step S514 are executed. The results of the horse racing game played instead of the player (first reward, second reward grant history, etc.) are connected to the game apparatus 1 or the game apparatus 1 via the network in association with the identification information of the player. Stored in the storage device of the server device.

  After that, when the player resumes the game with the game apparatus 1 and inputs the player's identification information, the instruction bet execution unit 556 makes the number of credits when the automatic bet mode is set from the game apparatus 1 or the storage device of the server apparatus. And read the current credit number. Subsequently, the instruction bet execution unit 556 compares the current credit number with the credit number when the automatic bet mode is set.

When the current number of credits is larger than the number of credits when the automatic bet mode is set, the instruction bet execution unit 556 displays a comment such as “I did my best” in the secretary comment A2, and then sets the automatic bet mode. Eliminate.
On the other hand, when the current credit amount is smaller than the credit amount at the time of setting the automatic bet mode, the instruction bet execution unit 556 displays a thankful comment such as “I'm sorry” on the secretary comment A2, and then the automatic bet Cancel the mode.

  According to the present embodiment, for a bet candidate for which a winning has been established, different rewards are given depending on whether or not they are notified preferentially. The user can be motivated to receive the reward. Therefore, it is possible to promote betting on a wide range of betting candidates.

[C. Addendum]
From the above description, the present invention is grasped as follows, for example. In order to facilitate understanding of each aspect, reference numerals in the drawings are appended in parentheses for convenience in the following, but the present invention is not limited to the illustrated aspects.

[Appendix 1]
The game apparatus (1) according to an aspect of the present invention includes a priority notification unit (553) that selects a part of bet candidates from a plurality of bet candidates and preferentially notifies the player, and the plurality of bets A bet receiving unit (554) for accepting a bet for at least one candidate bet, a lottery executing unit (557) for executing a lottery for determining success or failure of the plurality of bet candidates, and the lottery executing unit (557) On the basis of the lottery result and the bet candidate accepted by the bet accepting unit (554), the result of the winning judgment by the winning judging unit (558) and the winning judging unit (558), A reward granting unit (559) for granting a reward when a winning is established for the bet candidate, and the reward granting unit (559) for the bet candidate for which the winning is established To impart different reward and if not notified and if it is preferentially notified by the priority notifying unit (553).

  According to this aspect, in order to give different rewards for the bet candidates that have been awarded, depending on whether they are preferentially notified or not notified, rewards that are given when preferentially notified The user can be motivated to receive. Therefore, it is possible to promote betting on a wide range of betting candidates.

  The game device (1) may be a business game device, a home game device, or a terminal device.

  The game apparatus (1) may be playable using game currency such as coins (medals), credits or points. The game currency such as coins, credits or points may not be exchanged for actual money, or may be exchanged for actual money. The game apparatus (1) may be playable using actual money.

  The game apparatus (1) uses elements of the same type as elements received from the player for playing the game (hereinafter also referred to as “input elements”) and elements used as rewards for the player (hereinafter referred to as “output elements”). (For example, the input element and the output element are both coins) or different types of elements (for example, the input element is a coin and the output element is a voucher).

  For example, the game device (1) executes a lottery game in which a lottery for selecting one or more lottery elements from a plurality of lottery elements is performed. The lottery game may be a game for determining the rank of a competitor such as a horse racing game and a boat race, a ball lottery game such as a bingo game and a roulette game, or a card game such as baccarat and poker.

A bet candidate represents a plurality of events that may occur as a lottery result in accordance with the betting method of the game apparatus (1). A bet candidate is specified using a lottery element.
For example, in the game apparatus (1) that determines the ranking of the competitors by lottery, it means an event that can be bet on the game apparatus (1) among a plurality of events that can occur as the arrival order determined by the lottery. As an example, a plurality of betting candidates belonging to the winning bet system of a horse racing game are specified by individual racehorses that can be first by lottery and can be bet on the game apparatus (1).
The plurality of betting candidates in the bingo game are, for example, a plurality of bingo sheets that can be bingoed by lottery or a plurality of bingo sheet-like lines that can be bingoed by lottery. Betting is possible.
In addition, the plurality of betting candidates in the roulette game are, for example, a plurality of pockets (numbered pockets) into which a ball can be placed by lottery, and betting is possible in the game apparatus (1).

“Notifying a player of some bet candidates preferentially from among a plurality of bet candidates” means that some bet candidates are notified preferentially over other bet candidates.
For example, the priority notification unit (553) notifies some of the bet candidates to the player by notifying other bet candidates, but notifying other bet candidates.
Further, the priority notification unit (553) may preferentially notify the player of some bet candidates by displaying some bet candidates larger than other bet candidates.
In addition, the priority notification unit (553) gives priority to notifying the player of some bet candidates so that the player is more aware of the bet candidates than other bet candidates. To do.

The bet receiving unit (554) may receive a bet for at least one bet candidate among a plurality of bet candidates, directly or indirectly.
For example, the bet receiving unit (554) receives a bet for at least one bet candidate among a plurality of bet candidates from a touch panel, operation buttons, a voice receiving unit that receives an operation by voice, a receiving unit that receives an operation by a player gesture, or the like. You may receive indirectly via the operation reception apparatus (12).
The bet receiving unit (554) may receive a bet for at least one bet candidate among a plurality of bet candidates directly from, for example, a player. The bet accepting unit (554) that accepts a bet directly from the player is operated by an operation accepting device (12) such as a touch panel, operation buttons, a sound accepting unit that accepts an operation by voice, or a accepting unit that accepts an operation by a player's gesture. It may be configured.

  For example, in the case of a game that determines the ranking of competitors, the lottery execution unit (557) executes an internal lottery (program lottery) using the winning percentage of each competitor, and sets the arrival order from the top to the bottom. I will decide. In the case of a ball lottery game, the lottery execution unit (557) executes a physical lottery or an internal lottery and sets the number of the pocket containing the ball as the lottery result or the number assigned to the removed ball. Or a lottery result.

  For example, when the lottery game is a horse racing game, 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. When the lottery game is a roulette game, the lottery execution unit (554) executes a lottery for selecting one number from a plurality of numbers.

  The winning determination unit (555) determines, for example, that only the betting candidates corresponding to the lottery result among the betting candidates received by the betting receiving unit (553) are winning.

The reward when preferentially notified by the priority notification unit (553) and the reward when not preferentially notified by the priority notification unit (553) may be the same type of reward or different. It may be a type of reward.
For example, when the reward when notified by the priority notification unit (553) is a credit reward, the reward when not notified by the priority notification unit (553) is a credit reward. It may be a different type of reward. For example, the reward not preferentially notified by the priority notification unit (553) may be a point that is different from the credit reward, an item, or a lottery right.

[Appendix 2]
In the game device (1) according to another aspect, in the game device described in appendix 1, the reward granting unit (559) is preferentially provided by the priority notification unit (553) with respect to a bet candidate in which the winning is achieved. When not notified, a reward associated with the bet candidate is given, and when notified preferentially by the priority notification unit (553), in addition to the reward associated with the bet candidate, an additional reward is added. Grant reward.

  According to the game device according to the other aspect, when a winning is established in a state where the bet candidate notified with priority is placed, an additional reward is given in addition to the reward associated with the bet candidate. The player is given motivation to place a bet on the bet candidate notified in priority. Therefore, it is possible to promote betting on a wide range of betting candidates.

The reward associated with the bet candidate may be calculated based on the odds and the bet amount when the odds are previously assigned to the betting object.
Also, in a ball lottery game in which the number of a pocket containing one ball is predicted, the reward associated with the bet candidate is such that the total reward is divided by the number of players who hit the winning pocket number. A reward obtained by dividing the total reward by the number of players may be used.

  The additional reward may be the same type of reward as the reward associated with the bet candidate, or may be a different type of reward. For example, if the reward associated with the bet candidate is a credit reward, the additional reward may be a credit reward or a different type of reward. For example, the additional reward may be given a point different from the credit reward, an item, or a lottery right.

[Appendix 3]
A game apparatus (1) according to another aspect further includes a bet candidate question section (551) for notifying the player of a question regarding a bet candidate and receiving a response in the game apparatus according to appendix 1 or 2. The priority notification unit (553) selects the part of the bet candidates based on the answer from the player received by the bet candidate question unit (551).
According to the game device according to the other aspect, it is possible to preferentially notify the betting candidates that the player likes.
Examples of questions regarding bet candidates include, for example, questions for specifying betting methods, questions for specifying competitive horses, and questions for specifying bet candidates based on odds.
