  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the game apparatus 1 of the present invention is a two-play type game apparatus in which two players can execute simultaneous play, and includes a chassis 2, a prize acquisition game apparatus 1 </ b> A, and a prize acquisition game. It has the apparatus 1B, the memory | storage part 8 provided in the housing | casing 2, and the control part 9. FIG. The game apparatus 1 is a two-play type game apparatus, but may be a one-play type game apparatus that one player plays. Hereinafter, the configuration of each unit will be described.

<Case>
The housing 2 is formed in a box shape and has a function of installing or storing each member of the game apparatus 1. The shape of the housing 2 is not particularly limited, and can be changed to a triangular prism shape, an elliptical cylinder shape, a cylindrical shape, or the like according to the number of the prize acquisition game apparatuses 1A and 1B. For example, when there is one prize acquisition game device, it can be formed in a columnar shape or a triangular prism shape. Further, when there are three prize acquisition game apparatuses, the apparatus can be formed into a triangular prism shape. The housing 2 is composed of a prismatic housing upper portion 21 and a substantially rectangular parallelepiped housing lower portion 22.

(Upper case)
The housing upper part 21 is formed in a prismatic shape composed of a frame, a rectangular upper surface 211, a front surface 212, a rear surface 213, and two trapezoidal side surfaces 214. The frame is configured so that an advertisement text or the like is directly displayed, and a signboard or the like can be pasted thereon. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, an advertising signboard is attached to the upper frame of the front surface 212.

  Unlike the crane game apparatus, the game apparatus 1 of the present invention does not include a crane arm. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the front surface 212 can be inclined with respect to the vertical axis Z toward the back surface 213. Since the front surface 212 is inclined, the player can confirm the installation status of the prize from above, so that it is easy to predict how the prize can be obtained.

  The inclination angle θ of the front surface 212 is not particularly limited, but is 1 to 45 ° with respect to the vertical axis Z, preferably 5 to 30 °, and more preferably 10 to 25 °. Within such a range, in addition to the front direction (X-axis direction) and the side surface direction (Y-axis direction), the prize can be visually recognized from the vertical direction (Z-axis direction). Therefore, the player can accurately grasp how the prize is arranged, and can determine whether or not the prize can be acquired.

  Each surface (in particular, the front surface 212 and the side surface 214) is substantially transparent (colorless and transparent, colored and transparent, and translucent) so that the player can visually recognize the game space. The space defined by the upper part 21 of the housing is a game space for acquiring prizes.

(Lower case)
The housing lower part 22 is connected to the housing upper part 21 on the upper surface thereof. The housing lower part 22 is used for housing the storage unit 8 and the control unit 9. The housing lower part 22 includes a prize take-out port 221, a shielding plate 222, a prize take-out space 223, and a prize escape portion 224.

  Two prize outlets 221 are provided on the front surface of the housing lower part 22 corresponding to the prize acquisition game apparatuses 1A and 1B. The prize take-out port 221 has a function of taking out a prize from the prize take-out space 223, and is formed in a rectangular shape.

  The shielding plate 222 is provided at the upper part of the lower part 22 of the housing so as to close the prize outlet 221. The shielding plate 222 is formed in a rectangular shape corresponding to the prize outlet 221. The shielding plate 222 has a function of preventing an act of illegally taking a prize from the prize take-out port 221. Therefore, the long side of the rectangle can be rotated backward with respect to the vertical axis Z with respect to the vertical axis Z.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the shielding plate 222 is bent in two stages behind the game apparatus 1 with respect to the surface of the shielding plate 222. In other words, the shielding plate 222 has a first bent portion 2221 and a second bent portion 2222 that is further bent from the first bent portion 2221. The first bent portion 2221 has a function for facilitating taking out a prize from the prize taking-out space 223. The angle θ ₁ of the first bent portion 2221 is not particularly limited, but is preferably about 5 to 30 ° with respect to the surface of the shielding plate 222.

The second bent portion 2222 has a function of preventing the player's hand from being sandwiched between the shielding plate 222 and the housing lower portion 22. The angle θ ₂ of the second bent portion 2222 is larger than the angle θ _{1 of} the first bent portion 2221 from the viewpoint of preventing injury. Specifically, the angle θ ₂ of the second bent portion 2222 is not particularly limited, but is preferably about 15 to 45 ° with respect to the surface of the shielding plate 222.

  The prize take-out space 223 is provided in the housing lower part 22 and communicates with the game space through an opening 41 of the defining portion 4 described later. As shown in FIG. 5, the prize take-out space 223 is formed so as to be larger than the opening 41 and include the opening 41 in a plan view. By being formed in this way, the prize can be reliably guided to the prize take-out space 223. Conversely, the opening 41 may be formed so as to include the prize take-out space 223 in plan view.

  The prize take-out space 223 is a space constituted by the side surface, the bottom face, the prize escape portion 224, and the shielding plate 222 inside the housing lower portion 22. This bottom surface is configured not to come into contact with the prize support section 5 when the prize support section 5 described later is in the second state. Thereby, the prize that has fallen into the prize take-out space 223 is not obstructed by the prize support unit 5, and the prize can be reliably taken out.

The prize escape section 224 is provided in the back of the prize take-out space 223. The prize escape section 224 forms a prize take-out space 223 and is configured by a surface that is inclined rearward of the game apparatus 1 with respect to the vertical axis Z. Therefore, for example, when taking out a large prize from the prize taking-out space 223, it is possible to avoid the disadvantage that the shielding plate 222 pressed by the player comes into contact with the prize and cannot take out the prize. Prize escape portion 224, so that the player can easily take out the prize, is set to an appropriate inclination angle theta ₃ (e.g., 20 to 70 °). Further, the prize escape section 224 may be configured to move in the X-axis direction of the game apparatus 1 by changing the inclination angle θ ₃ by a movable mechanism (not shown).

Thereby, the outer diameter gradually decreasing portion 52 has an outer diameter (height) that gradually decreases. Further, as shown in FIG. 8D, not only the inclined surface 522 but also the side surface 523 is tapered toward the tip. Thereby, in the outer diameter gradually decreasing portion 52, the contact area with the prize is reduced, so that the support of the prize becomes unstable. As a result, when the prize support portion 5 is displaced from the first state to the second state, the possibility that the prize will move unexpectedly increases, and the player can be entertained.

  As shown in the side views of FIGS. 8B and 8C and the top view of FIG. 8D, the mounting portion 53 is connected to the outer diameter gradually decreasing portion 52 and linearly extends from the outer diameter gradually decreasing portion 52. Extend. The upper surface (mounting surface) of the mounting portion 53 is formed continuously with the inclined surface 522 of the outer diameter gradually decreasing portion 52. The placement unit 53 has a function of placing a prize. As shown in FIG. 8, the placement portion 53 is formed in a long prismatic shape, but may be a rod shape, a flat plate shape, a long plate shape, a semicircular shape, a circular shape, or the like. The diameter of the placement portion 53 is not particularly limited, but has a predetermined diameter so that a prize can be placed. The diameter may be constant from the proximal end to the distal end of the placement portion 53, or may be tapered from the outer diameter gradually decreasing portion 52. The length of the mounting portion 53 is not particularly limited, and may be a length that can reach the opposing connecting portion 42, a length that corresponds to the radius of the opening 41, or the outer diameter gradually decreasing portion 52. It may be as long as

  The placement unit 53 may be provided with a non-slip member so that the prize can be stably placed on the placement unit 53. Such an anti-slip member may be provided over the entire mounting portion 53 and the outer diameter gradually decreasing portion 52 or a part of the upper surface. Thereby, for example, when the small prizes are placed on the placement unit 53 one by one, it is possible to suppress or prevent the prizes from slipping, so that the prizes can be reliably supported.

  As shown in the side view of FIG. 8B, the prize support portion 5 as described above has a continuous bottom surface 524 of the outer diameter gradually decreasing portion 52 and a lower surface (second opposing surface) of the mounting portion 53. Constitute one plane. Moreover, since the attaching part 51 is formed in the box shape, it can be attached to the connecting part 42 even in the normal state of FIG. 8B and the inverted state of FIG. 8C. As a result, when the prize support portion 5 is attached to the coupling portion 422, the height from the lower surface of the attachment portion 51 to the upper surface of the placement portion 53 is h1 in the normal state (FIG. 8B), and in the inverted state. The height from the lower surface of the mounting portion 51 to the upper surface of the placement portion 53 is h2. As described above, the distance from the lower surface of the mounting portion 51 to the upper surface of the placement portion 53 (hereinafter, also referred to as “height of the premium support portion 5”) can be changed depending on how the premium support portion 5 is attached. As a result, when the prize support portion 5 is attached to the coupling portion 422, the placement portions 53 of the prize support portion 5 are irregularly aligned.

  The prize support portion 5 of the present invention is not limited to the above-described configuration, and various configurations can be used. Hereinafter, an example of another configuration example of the prize support unit 5 will be described.

(Other configuration example 1)
Another configuration example 1 of the prize support unit 5 is different from the prize support unit 5 having the above-described configuration in that the placement unit 53 includes a rod-shaped body. That is, the mounting portion 53 of the other configuration example 1 extends from each columnar base end portion on the outer diameter gradually decreasing portion 52 side and each columnar base end portion, as shown in FIG. It consists of a rod-shaped tip. Moreover, this front-end | tip part may be formed with the anti-slip | skid member. Thereby, for example, when the small prizes are placed one by one on the tip of the placement unit 53 or when the prizes are suspended, it is possible to suppress or prevent the prizes from slipping, so that the prizes can be reliably supported.

(Other configuration example 2)
Another configuration example 2 of the prize support portion 5 is different from the prize support portion 5 having the above-described configuration in that the attachment portion 51 does not have a bottom surface. That is, as shown in FIG. 9B, the prize support portion 5 of the other configuration example 2 does not have a bottom surface and a left surface, but has two openings. Since there is no lower surface, the prize support portion 5 of the other configuration example 2 is configured in a handle shape as a whole. In this case, the prize support section 5 cannot be used in the inverted state, but if used together with the prize support section 5 of the configuration example 3, the height of the prize support section 5 can be changed.

(Other configuration example 3)
The other configuration example 3 of the prize support portion 5 is different from the prize support portion 5 of the other configuration example 2 in that the outer diameter gradually decreasing portion 52 is not provided. That is, as shown in FIG. 9C, the prize support portion 5 of the other configuration example 3 does not have the outer diameter gradually decreasing portion 52, so that the diameter of the prize support portion 5 can be made constant. Further, the prize support portion 5 of the other configuration example 3 is configured in a handle shape as a whole because the attachment portion 51 does not have a bottom surface, like the prize support portion 5 of the other configuration example 2. In this case, although the prize support unit 5 cannot be used in the inverted state, if used together with the prize support unit 5 of the other configuration example 2, the height of the prize support unit 5 can be changed.

(Other configuration example 4)
Another configuration example 4 of the prize support unit 5 is different from the prize support unit 5 having the above-described configuration in that the placement unit 53 includes a squid-type flat plate portion 531. That is, as shown in FIG. 9D, the prize support unit 5 of the other configuration example 4 has a configuration in which the placement unit 53 has a flat plate portion 531 on the upper surface thereof. Thereby, since the area of the mounting part 53 increases, when a small prize is placed, the prize can be stably placed. In addition, although the flat plate part 531 is not specifically limited, it is comprised with transparent materials, such as an acrylic board.

(Other configuration example 5)
Another configuration example 5 of the gift support unit 5 is the above-described configuration in that the mounting unit 53 is formed to be approximately the same size as the outer diameter gradually decreasing unit 52 and a substantially semicircular flat plate unit 531 is provided. This is different from the premium support portion 5 of FIG. That is, the prize support portion 5 of the other configuration example 5 is configured to have a substantially semicircular flat plate portion 531 as a whole. As a result, the area of the portion on which the premium is placed on the side of the defining portion 4 is increased, so that a small premium can be stably placed on one premium support portion 5. In addition, it can be used as a support for large prizes.

(Other configuration example 6)
Another configuration example 6 of the prize support portion 5 is different from the prize support portion 5 having the above-described configuration in that the configuration example includes only a substantially semicircular flat plate portion. That is, the prize support portion 5 of the other configuration example 6 does not include the attachment portion 51, the outer diameter gradually decreasing portion 52, and the placement portion 53, and is configured only by a flat plate portion. The giveaway support portion 5 has a locking portion 54 for attaching to the defining portion 4. As shown in FIG. 10, the locking portion 54 is inserted into the space between the operation instruction portion 6 and the connecting portion 42. Thereby, the prize support part 5 of the other configuration example 6 is suspended on the connecting part 42. Since the prize support portion 5 of the configuration example 6 does not have the attachment portion 51, it is not connected to the coupling portion 422. Therefore, the prize support portion 5 is not displaced and is used for prize placement or prize support.

  By attaching the prize support portion 5 as described above to the defining portion 4, it is possible to increase variations in the method of placing the prize and the attachment state of the prize support portion 5, and the game's preference can be enhanced. Next, FIG. 10 shows a configuration in which the prize support portion 5 is connected to the defining portion 4.

  As shown in FIG. 10A, the prize support portion 5 is attached to the connecting portion 42 of the defining portion 4 with an attachment portion 51. The prize support portion 5 extends along the radial direction of the opening 41 toward the center of the opening 41. Thereby, the prize support unit 5 is in a state (first state) in which the prize can be supported. In other words, the coupling portion 422 of the coupling portion 42 is in a state protruding from the recess 421 (first state).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10B, when the locking of the coupling portion 422 is released, the prize support portion 5 extends along the vertically downward direction toward the prize taking-out space 223. Thereby, the prize support part 5 is in a state (second state) in which the support of the prize is released. In other words, the coupling part 422 of the coupling part 42 is in a state of being accommodated in the concave part 421 (second state).

  Specifically, when the locking of the coupling portion 422 is released, the coupling portion 422 of the connecting portion 42 rotates downward about the locking portion 423 as a support shaft. Thereby, the prize support part 5 changes from the first state to the second state. In FIG. 10B, of the 16 prize support parts 5 (joining parts), 12 prize support parts 5 are in the second state. As described above, the prize support portion 5 is configured to be displaceable from the first state to the second state.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10A, each prize support portion 5 is continuously provided along the circumferential direction of the opening 41 corresponding to the connecting portion 42 of the defining portion 4 through a predetermined interval. Is provided. As a result, in the first state, the tips of the prize support portions 5 face each other in the vicinity of the center of the opening 41. In addition, the prize support 5 defines a circular small opening at the center of the opening 41 in plan view, and 16 fan-shaped small openings between the prize support parts 5. As described above, the prize support portion 5 is provided without blocking the entire opening 41, and particularly without blocking the central portion of the opening 41. Thus, since many openings are formed, it is possible to give the player an image that the prize is likely to fall, and the player's chances of playing with the game apparatus 1 are increased.

  As shown in FIG. 10B, the game manager executes the game with the four prize support units 5 set to the first state and the other prize support units 5 set to the second state in advance. You can also. Thereby, the administrator can adjust the difficulty level of a game. In this way, the prize support unit 5 is configured to be able to change its layout.

  In the prize acquisition game device 1A of the present invention, in the first state, the height of the top surface of the placement portion 53 of the prize support portion 5 from the bottom surface constituting the prize take-out space 223 (hereinafter referred to as “the prize support portion 5”). The height can be changed. In FIG. 11, a plurality of prize support portions 5 are turned upside down and attached to the connecting portion 42.

  When the prize support portion 5 is attached to the connecting portion 42 in a normal state, the height of the prize support portion 5 is the distance from the bottom surface constituting the prize take-out space 223 to the bottom surface of the attachment portion 51 and the bottom surface of the attachment portion 51. This is a height obtained by adding the height h1 up to the upper surface of the placement portion 53 (hereinafter referred to as “first height”). On the other hand, when the prize support portion 5 is attached to the connecting portion 42 in an inverted state, the height of the prize support portion 5 is the distance from the bottom surface constituting the prize take-out space 223 to the lower surface of the attachment portion 51, and the lower surface of the attachment portion 51. And a distance h2 from the top surface of the mounting portion 53 to the top surface (hereinafter referred to as “second height”).

  Therefore, the first height and the second height differ depending on the height from the lower surface of the mounting portion 51 to the upper surface of the placement portion 53, that is, the heights h1 and h2. In this way, depending on how the prize support portion 5 is attached to the connecting portion 42, the height of the prize support portion 5 can be changed between the first height and the second height. The first height of the prize support portion 5 is substantially equal to the thickness of the placement portion 53, and the second height of the prize support portion 5 is equal to the thickness of the outer diameter gradually decreasing portion 52.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, the first prize support section 5a, the third prize support section 5c, and the fifth prize support section 5e are in the inverted state, and the second prize support section 5b and the fourth prize support section 5d. The sixth prize support portions 5f are alternately attached to the connecting portions 42 in the normal state.

  Accordingly, the heights of the second prize support portion 5b, the fourth prize support portion 5d, and the sixth prize support portion 5f, and the heights of the first prize support portion 5a, the third prize support portion 5c, and the fifth prize support portion 5e. Is different. Therefore, for example, when the third prize support portion 5c is displaced from the first state to the second state, the prize tends to be inclined to the second prize support portion 5b, and the prize may move unexpectedly. As a result, it is possible to give the player an image capable of acquiring a prize. The prize support portion 5 is not limited to being alternately attached in the normal state and the inverted state, and can be attached at random.

  Since the basic configuration of the prize support section 5 is as described above, the prize support section 5 is attached to the defining section 4 so that the height of the prize support section 5 can be changed even if the prize support section 5 of another configuration example is used. In particular, the prize support unit 5 of the other configuration example 6 is provided at a position between the connecting portion 42 and the operation instruction unit 6 as shown in FIG. Is higher than the heights of the other prize support parts 5.

(Operation instruction part)
The operation instruction unit 6 has a function of supporting which premium support unit 5 is to be operated by the player. The operation instruction unit 6 is provided on the defining unit 4 corresponding to the opening 41. That is, the operation instruction unit 6 is provided along the circumferential direction of the opening 41 so as to surround the prize support unit 5 and the opening 41. In the present embodiment, the operation instruction unit 6 is provided concentrically (annular) with the prize support unit 5.

  The operation instruction unit 6 is composed of a plurality of block bodies 61 as shown in FIG. Note that the number of the block bodies 61 is not particularly limited, and may be one or may be two or more. In the present embodiment, the number of block bodies 61 is 32.

  The plurality of block bodies 61 are provided between the 16 corresponding block bodies 61a provided adjacent to the prize support section 5 so as to correspond to the prize support section 5 and the corresponding block bodies 61a. 16 non-corresponding block bodies 61b provided so as not to correspond to 5. That is, the corresponding block body 61a and the non-corresponding block body 61b are alternately provided.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the corresponding block body 61a is formed so as to protrude toward the center of the opening 41 from the non-corresponding block body 61b. Thereby, the game manager can recognize the corresponding block body 61a at a glance, and the setting of the prize support unit 5 and the like can be executed promptly.

  Each block body 61 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and a display device 611 is provided therein. Examples of the display device 611 include an LED and a liquid crystal monitor.

  In FIG. 10, eight (plural) LEDs are shown for one block body 61. In FIG. 10, the display device 611 of the other block body 61 is omitted. Lighting and blinking of the display device 611 are controlled by the control unit 9 described later.

  In the present embodiment, the corresponding block body 61a and the prize support portion 5 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, one corresponding block body 61a may be provided so as to correspond to a plurality (for example, 2 to 8) of prize support portions 5 provided continuously. One corresponding block body 61a corresponding to the plurality of prize support portions 5 is larger than the corresponding block body 61a corresponding to the prize support portion 5 on a one-to-one basis. When the push button 31 is pressed while the display device 611 of such a large corresponding block body 61a is lit, a plurality of prize support portions 5 corresponding to the large corresponding block body 61a can be displaced together. As a result, it is possible to give the player a sense of winning.

  Further, a plurality of (for example, 2 to 8) block bodies 61 may be configured as one group that is lit and blinked at the same time, and the group and the prize support unit 5 may correspond to each other on a one-to-one basis. Even with such a configuration, when the push button 31 is pressed while the display device 611 of the grouped block body 61 is turned on, the plurality of prize support portions 5 can be displaced together, and thus the above effect can be obtained. It can be demonstrated.

  The prize acquisition game device 1A includes a first detection unit, a second detection unit 111, and a third detection unit. The first detection unit detects that the coupling unit 422 (premium support unit 5) of the coupling unit 42 is in the second state. Therefore, the 1st detection part is provided in the connection part drive mechanism which is not illustrated in the connection part 42 vicinity. Thereby, the operation control unit 93 to be described later can operate appropriately.

  The second detection unit 111 detects whether or not a prize exists in the prize extraction space 223. The 2nd detection part 111 is provided in the both sides | surfaces which comprise the prize taking-out space 223. FIG. For example, the second detection unit 111 includes a photoelectric sensor including a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, it is composed of five light receiving portions provided on one side surface constituting the prize taking-out space 223 and five light emitting portions provided on the other side surface. Yes. The light emitting part and the light receiving part are provided at equal intervals.

  When the prize falls into the prize take-out space 223, light is blocked by the prize, and the second detection unit 111 detects the prize. Thereby, when only one prize is set in the prize support part 5, the control part 9 can control not to perform a game any more.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 6, the second detection unit 111 prevents the light from the second detection unit 111 from coming into contact with the prize support unit 5 when the prize support unit 5 enters the second state. It is configured. In other words, the second detection unit 111 is provided at a lower position in the prize taking-out space 223 on the bottom surface constituting the prize taking-out space 223 than the prize supporting unit 5 in the second state. Thereby, it is possible to reliably detect only the prize.

  The third detection unit detects that the game apparatus 1 has been shaken. The third detection unit is provided at a position close to the player, for example, the housing lower part 22. The third detection unit is configured by, for example, an acceleration sensor. Thereby, when the player shakes the game apparatus 1 in order to obtain a prize illegally, the shake can be detected accurately and reliably. In this case, a notifying means (not shown) can notify the game administrator of the shaking by sound or light.

  In addition, for example, the detection unit 11 is configured by a camera provided in the upper part 21 or the lower part 22 of the casing, so that it can detect that the lit display device 611 or the prize has dropped. . The detection unit 11 includes a weight sensor, a pressure sensor, a photoelectric sensor, and the like provided in the prize support unit 5, so that the state of the prize support unit 5 (first state and second state) It is possible to detect the fall of the prize.

  As described above, the game apparatus 1 of the present invention is a game apparatus that does not have a crane arm. For this reason, the present invention has an unprecedented feature that the game space can be used effectively. This feature will be further described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 12 is a top view schematically showing the game apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 13 is a perspective view schematically showing a prize display stand of the game apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. is there.

  In the game apparatus 1 of the present invention, only the upper surface 211 of the housing upper part 21 can exist above the opening 41. That is, no structure can be present in the game space between the prize support unit 5 and the upper surface 211 of the housing upper part 21. As a result, the game space can be changed to a game space having a size that matches the size of the prize installed in the prize support unit 5, so that the game apparatus 1 can be miniaturized. In this case, the housing upper part 21 can be formed in a dome shape that matches the size of the operation instruction unit 6. Therefore, the game space above the game apparatus 1 can be effectively used.

  Further, in the game apparatus 1 of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the front surface 212 of the housing upper part 21 can be inclined with respect to the vertical axis Z. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12, in the plan view of the game apparatus 1, the area of the upper surface 211 of the housing upper part 21 can be configured to be smaller than the area of the game field (defining part 4). In other words, in the plan view of the game apparatus 1, a part of the opening 41 is configured to be visible (exposed) from the upper surface 211 of the housing upper part 21.

  The area of the upper surface 211 of the housing upper part 21 is preferably 40 to 90% and more preferably 50 to 80% with respect to the area of the game field. Further, the exposed area of the opening 41 is preferably 5 to 50% and more preferably 10 to 30% with respect to the area of the opening 41 in plan view. By setting the area of the upper surface 211 and the exposed area of the opening 41 in such a range, the player can check the opening 41 and the prize support unit 5 from the vertical direction Z, so that the posture and installation state of the prize are appropriate. I can grasp it accurately. Therefore, it is possible to give the player a feeling that a prize can be easily acquired.

  Moreover, in the game apparatus 1 of this embodiment, structures, such as the prize display stand 7 and a monitor, can be installed in game space, for example.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the prize acquisition game device 1B has a prize display stand 7 (7B) provided above the game field. This prize display stand 7B is composed of a placing stand 71 provided between a plate standing between the prize acquisition game devices 1A and 1B and a side face 214 of the upper portion 21 of the housing. The mounting table 71 may be a shelf suspended from the upper surface 211 of the housing upper part 21, or may be a shelf provided on the back surface 213 of the housing upper part 21. A part of the mounting table 71 may overlap the opening 41 in the plan view of the game apparatus 1. Thereby, many supplementary prizes can be mounted on the mounting table 71. Further, if a gift automatic supply device (not shown) is provided on the mounting table 71, the gift can be automatically and reliably supplied from the mounting table 71 to the opening 41.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 13, the prize acquisition game device 1 </ b> A has a prize display stand 7 (7 </ b> A) provided on a game field around the opening 41.

The base 721 has an arc-shaped notch 7211 corresponding to the outer periphery (arc) of the opening 41. Thus, even if a large prize that protrudes from the operation instruction section 6 or the game field is installed on the prize support section 5, the prize is stably placed on the prize support section 5 without being obstructed by the base 721. be able to. Further, by having the notch 7211, the base 721 can be installed around the opening 41 and adjacent to the opening 41. Therefore, many prizes can be placed and the game field can be used effectively.

  In the present embodiment, the base 721 is provided in contact with the back surface 213, but it may be provided so as to surround the opening 41 or in contact with the side surface 214 of the housing upper part 21. It may be provided between the acquired game devices 1A and 1B. Thereby, since the prize can be placed so as to surround the opening 41, it is possible to give the player an impression that the prize is naturally provided to the prize support unit 5.

  The two plates 722 have a function of supporting the support bar 723. Of the two plates 722, one plate 722 a is provided in contact with the side surface 214 of the housing upper portion 21. The other plate 722b is provided between the prize acquisition game apparatuses 1A and 1B so as to partition them. One plate 722a can be omitted because it can be replaced by the side surface 214 of the upper portion 21 of the housing. In addition, if the game apparatus 1 is a one-play type game apparatus, the side plate 214 of the upper portion of the housing 21 serves as a plate, so that the two plates 722 can be omitted.

  The support bar 723 has a function like a protective fence so that a prize installed on the base 721 and a prize installed on the prize do not fall. Further, the support bar 723 also has an advertising function by hanging another member. The support bar 723 is sandwiched between the two plates 722 so as to connect them. Therefore, it is possible to display a plurality of prizes without dropping them on the game field.

  The prize display stand 7 as described above can show the player what kind of prizes can be obtained from a distance. Further, the prize display stand 7 as described above allows the game manager to easily install the prize on the prize support unit 5 when the prize is acquired.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the game apparatus 1 may include a display device (monitor) that displays game descriptions and advertisements. Such a monitor is provided on the plate 722b of the prize placement device 72 between the prize acquisition game devices 1A and 1B. In other words, the display device is provided above the opening 41 and is provided so as to overlap a part of the two openings 41 in a plan view of the game apparatus 1. Thereby, since it is possible to greatly show the player the explanation of the game, the method of acquiring the prize, and the like, the players and the spectators who play for the first time can be collected in the game apparatus 1.

  Thus, in the game apparatus 1 of the present invention, the prize take-out space 223, the opening 41, and the prize support part 5 are continuously provided along the vertical direction Z. Therefore, since a crane arm (mechanical structure) or the like is not required, the game apparatus 1 can be reduced in size. In particular, the prize take-out space 223, the opening 41, the prize support unit 5, and the game space are continuously provided along the vertical direction Z. Therefore, a special structure can be installed in the game space above the prize support unit 5.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the internal configuration of the game apparatus 1 will be described.

<Control unit>
The control unit 9 includes a CPU that executes a game program, and controls the entire game apparatus 1. The control unit 9 includes an information acquisition unit 91, an information processing unit 92, an operation control unit 93, an information setting unit 94, and a notification unit 95. Hereinafter, the configuration of each unit of the control unit 9 will be described.

(Information acquisition unit)
The information acquisition unit 91 has a function of acquiring various information. Specifically, the information acquisition unit 91 is lit when input information from the operation unit 3, information on the state (first state or second state) of each prize support unit 5, or input to the operation unit 3. Information for specifying the display device 611 (the block body 61 selected by the player), information detected by the detection unit 11, information input from the input unit 10, and the like are acquired. The acquired information is provided to the information processing unit 92.

(Information Processing Department)
The information processing unit 92 has a function of processing the entire game. In particular, the information processing unit 92 has a function of processing the information acquired by the information acquisition unit 91 and instructing the operation control unit 93. Specifically, the information processing unit 92 determines the presence / absence of the corresponding prize support unit 5 based on the information of the block body 61 lit by the input to the operation unit 3 and the correspondence table stored in the storage unit 8. Identify. Further, when there is a corresponding prize support unit 5, the information processing unit 92 specifies the number and instructs the operation control unit 93 to operate the specified prize support unit 5.

  For example, with reference to Table 1, when the block body 61 that was lit at the time of input to the operation unit 3 is the fourth non-corresponding block body 61b, the information processing unit 92 corresponds to the corresponding prize support unit. Specify that there is no 5. Further, for example, when the block body 61 lit at the time of input to the operation unit 3 is the third corresponding block body 61a, the information processing unit 92 specifies that the corresponding prize support unit 5 is present. Then, it is specified that it is the third second prize support part 5. The information processing unit 92 instructs the operation control unit 93 to operate the identified second prize support unit 5.

  Thereby, the information processing section 92 can specify the presence / absence of the prize support section 5 corresponding to the block body 61 that is lit when operated by the player, and the number of the corresponding prize support section 5 when there is a corresponding prize support section 5.

(Operation control unit)
The operation control unit 93 has a function of controlling operations of the prize support unit 5 and the operation instruction unit 6. The operation control unit 93 controls lighting and blinking based on the correspondence table so that the display devices 611 built in each block body 61 blink sequentially. Furthermore, the operation control unit 93 can control the blinking direction clockwise or counterclockwise, and can freely control the blinking speed. Thereby, for example, the flashing speed can be slowed to reduce the difficulty level of the game, and the flashing speed can be increased to increase the game difficulty level. In addition, if the blinking direction and blinking speed are changed randomly, the difficulty level of the game can be further increased.

  The display device 611 of the block body 61 is controlled to blink according to a predetermined program or randomly. For example, the display device 611 is controlled so as to blink sequentially clockwise or counterclockwise. As a result, the display device 611 of the block body 61 blinks sequentially in a predetermined direction, and the player presses and pushes for the moment when the display device 611 of the block body 61 corresponding to the prize support unit 5 to be displaced lights up. Press the button 31. By turning on only the display device 611 that was turned on when the button was pressed, the player is shown whether or not the prize support portion 5 corresponds to the block body 61 of the display device 611.

  As shown in the correspondence table of Table 1, the operation control unit 93 performs control so that some or all of the plurality of block bodies 61 are turned on and blinking simultaneously according to the blinking mode stored in the storage unit 8. To do. Specifically, when the display devices 611 incorporated in the respective block bodies 61 are sequentially blinked, in the blinking mode 2, the operation control unit 93 simultaneously converts the first to third block bodies 61 into the fourth to 17th blocks. It is also possible to control the block bodies 61 individually, the 18th to 24th block bodies 61 at the same time, and the 25th to 32nd block bodies 61 individually and sequentially blink.

  As a result, when the push button 31 is pressed when the first to third block bodies 61 blink simultaneously, the first prize support part 5 and the second prize support part 5 are displaced simultaneously, so the hit is drawn. Such a feeling can be given to the player. Further, when the push button 31 is pressed when the 18th to 24th block bodies 61 are simultaneously flashed, the 10th to 12th prize support portions 5 are simultaneously displaced, so that the player feels like a big hit. be able to.

  Further, as shown in mode 3 of Table 1, the operation control unit 93 can also control two consecutive block bodies 61 to blink simultaneously and sequentially. Furthermore, as shown in mode 4 in Table 1, the operation control unit 93 can also control the eight consecutive block bodies 61 to blink simultaneously and sequentially. By flashing simultaneously the block body 61 to which the consecutive number was attached | subjected, any premium support part 5 can be displaced without fail. For this reason, it is possible to give the player a feeling that there is no empty lottery, and it is possible to increase opportunities for the player to play with the game apparatus 1.

  The motion control unit 93 controls the information processing unit 92 to shift the prize support unit 5 having the number specified from the correspondence table from the first state to the second state. That is, it controls so that the coupling | bond part 422 of the connection part 42 to which the prize support part 5 is attached is displaced from a 1st state to a 2nd state. Such a displacement may be made for each coupling portion 422 (premium support portion 5), or may be made simultaneously by a plurality of premium support portions 5 as in the blink mode 2. Thereby, since the prize support part 5 can be changed one by one or plurally, the difficulty level of the game can be changed.

(Information setting section)
The information setting unit 94 has a function of setting a game based on input information from the input unit 10. Based on the input information from the input unit 10, the information setting unit 94 sets the prize support unit 5 in the first state and the corresponding block body 61a corresponding to the first state for use in the game as an initial state. To do.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10B, when the game manager sets the four prize support units 5 to the first state, the second detection unit 111 determines that the prize support unit 5 is the first one. Detect that it is in a state. When the game administrator performs an input operation on the input unit 10 in this state, the information processing unit 92 refers to the correspondence table and the prize support unit 5 in the first state and the corresponding block body 61a corresponding thereto. And specify. The information setting unit 94 sets the prize support unit 5 specified by the information processing unit 92 and the corresponding block body 61a as the prize support unit 5 and the block body 61 used in the game as an initial state.

(Notification part)
The notification unit 95 has a function of notifying information set by the information setting unit 94. In particular, the notification unit 95 notifies the prize support unit 5 and / or the operation instruction unit 6 used in the game as an initial state. The notification unit 95 notifies that the prize support unit 5 has been displaced to the second state. Such notification is performed by blinking or lighting the display device 611 of the corresponding block body 61a of the operation instruction unit 6. However, the notification is not limited to this, and the prize support unit 5 and the corresponding block body 61a used in the game may be notified by voice through a speaker (not shown). Further, the prize support section 5 and the corresponding block body 61a used in the game may be visually notified by the vibration of the prize support section 5 and the corresponding block body 61a, the movement of the corresponding block body 61a, and the like.

  The notification unit 95 may notify the prize support unit 5 and / or the operation instruction unit 6 set in the initial state, but the prize set in the initial state only when the input unit 10 receives input information. The support unit 5 and / or the operation instruction unit 6 can be notified. Therefore, the game manager can quickly set the prize support unit 5 to the initial state.

  As described above, the information processing section 92 causes the operation control section 93 to control the operations of the prize support section 5 and the operation instruction section 6 based on the initial states set by the prize support section 5 and the operation instruction section 6. Specifically, based on the input from the input unit 10, the operation control unit 93 can light the display device 611 of the corresponding block body 61a set to the initial state. Thereby, even if the prize support part 5 is in the second state by the operation of the player, the game manager can easily identify the prize support part 5 in the initial state. As a result, the initial setting of each game apparatus 1 can be performed quickly and smoothly.

2. Next, the operation method of the game apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described in detail. FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a flow of setting an initial state of the game apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing a flow of the entire game of the game apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. is there.

  First, the game manager sets the prize support unit 5 to be used in the game to the first state. As shown in FIG. 10 (a), even if all the 16 prize support portions 5 are set to the first state, the four prize support portions 5 are set to the first state as shown in FIG. 10 (b). It may be set. Thereby, the initial state setting process starts (S1).

  The information processing section 92 determines whether or not the prize support section 5 is in the first state based on the detection information from the second detection section 111 (S2). If it is determined that the prize support unit 5 is not in the first state, the process repeats step S2.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the prize support unit 5 is in the first state, the information processing unit 92 refers to the correspondence table, and determines the prize support unit 5 in the first state and the corresponding block body 61a corresponding thereto. Identify. In this state, the information processing section 92 determines whether input information has been received (S3). If it is determined in step S3 that the information processing unit 92 has not received input information, the process repeats step S3.

  On the other hand, if the information processing unit 92 determines that the input information has been received, the information setting unit 94 sets the premium support unit 5 in the first state and the corresponding block body 61a corresponding thereto as an initial state (S4).

  In this state, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, the game manager installs one stuffed animal on the prize support unit 5A of the prize acquisition game apparatus 1A, and 1 on the prize support part 5B of the prize acquisition game apparatus 1B. Tilt and install two figure boxes. Next, the process proceeds to step S5, and the game is started. The process of step S5 will be described later.

  When the game ends, the process proceeds to step S6. In step S6, the information processing section 92 determines whether input information has been received. If the information processing unit 92 determines that input information has not been received, the process repeats step S6.

  On the other hand, when determining that the information processing unit 92 has received the input information, the notification unit 95 notifies the premium support unit 5 in the initial state. That is, the notification unit 95 turns on the display device 611 of the corresponding block body 61a corresponding to the premium support unit 5 in the initial state. Thereby, the process ends (S8).

  Next, the game process will be described in detail. In step S4 of FIG. 14, when the player inserts a coin, the information acquisition unit 91 acquires this information. Thereby, the control part 9 performs a game.

  As shown in FIG. 15, when the game is started, the operation control unit 93 activates the operation instruction unit 6 (S501). Thereby, the display device 611 of each block body 61 blinks sequentially (S502). Next, the process proceeds to step S503.

  Note that the process of step S501 may be performed before the game starts. In this case, for example, before the game starts, the blinking direction of the display device 611 of the block body 61 is controlled at random to start the game. The flashing direction can be made constant.

  In a state where the block bodies 61 are sequentially flashing, the player inputs to the operation unit 3 aiming at the moment when the block body 61 corresponding to the prize support unit 5 to be displaced is turned on. If there is no input to the operation unit 3, the process returns to step S502, and the processes of steps S502 and S503 are repeated.

  When there is an input to the operation unit 3, the information acquisition unit 91 acquires the input information. Based on the input information acquired by the information acquisition unit 91, the information processing unit 92 identifies the block body 61 that is turned on at the time of input (S504). At this time, the information processing unit 92 instructs the operation control unit 93 to operate the identified block body 61, and the operation control unit 93 lights only the identified block body 61.

  Thereby, the player can confirm the selected block body 61, and can confirm whether the desired prize support part 5 was able to be selected. During this time, the information processing unit 92 refers to the correspondence table stored in the storage unit 8 and determines whether there is a prize support unit 5 corresponding to the identified block body 61 (S505).

  If there is a corresponding prize support unit 5, the process proceeds to step S506, and the information processing unit 92 determines whether the corresponding prize support unit 5 is in the first state. On the other hand, if there is no corresponding prize support unit 5, the process proceeds to step S509, and the operation control unit 93 controls the prize support unit 5 not to operate (S509).

  In step S506, when the corresponding prize support unit 5 is in the first state, the process proceeds to step S507, and the operation control unit 93 displaces the corresponding prize support unit 5 to the second state ( S507). Next, the process proceeds to step S508. On the other hand, if the corresponding prize support unit 5 is not in the first state, the process proceeds to step S509, and the operation control unit 93 controls the prize support unit 5 not to operate (S509).

  In step S508, the information processing section 92 determines whether or not the prize has fallen due to the corresponding prize support section 5 being displaced to the second state (S508). If the prize falls, the game ends. On the other hand, if the prize has not fallen, the process proceeds to step S510.

  In step S510, the information processing section 92 determines whether or not there is a game count. If the number of games remains, the process returns to step S502, and steps S502 to S510 are repeated. On the other hand, if the number of games does not remain, the game ends.

  As described above, the processing method described above can be created by a program executed on a computer. Such a program is realized by a CPU (central processing unit), a microprocessor (micro processor), a GPU (graphic processing unit), a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), or the like.

Specifically, the connection portion 42 of the fourth embodiment is provided with three pairs of locking portions 423 at equal intervals along the vertical direction Z on the side surface of the recess 421. Thereby, in one recessed part 421, the position (height) which attaches the coupling | bond part 422 can be changed. Therefore, for example, in the adjacent connecting portions 42, one attaches the coupling portion 422 to the lowermost locking portion 423 of the recess 421 and the other attaches the coupling portion 422 to the uppermost locking portion 423 of the recess 421. it can. Thereby, the height of the coupling | bond part 422 differs, and when the prize support part 5 is attached, the height of the prize support part 5 can be changed.

  Thus, in the game apparatus 1 of this embodiment, since the prize support part 5 can be attached in the position from which height differs, only one kind of prize support part 5 can be used. Further, even if the upper prize support portion 5 is displaced to the second state, the prize may be supported by the lower prize support portion 5, and the difficulty of the game can be increased.

  In the present embodiment, the three locking portions 423 are provided. However, as in the first embodiment, one locking portion 423 is provided with a moving mechanism that automatically moves in the recess 421 in the vertical direction Z. May be.
