Description

特許文献１のように硬貨の投入が要件付けられているゲーム装置においてゲームプレイをするためには、ユーザは対価を用意する必要がある。一般的なゲーム装置は、釣り銭を返却する機能を有していないため、繰り返しのゲームプレイを所望するユーザは、所持していた硬貨がなくなった際には、ゲーム装置あるいは待機列を離れ、両替等を行って硬貨を用意する必要があった。
ところで、業務用のゲーム筐体等のゲーム装置の中には、例えば少なくとも一部のゲームの進行状況を継続させた状態でのゲームプレイを可能ならしめる等、同一のユーザによる連続のゲームプレイを許容しているゲーム装置も存在する。換言すれば、所謂「コンティニュー」機能を設けたゲームを提供するゲーム装置では、同一のユーザに対し、１回のゲームプレイの完了後に更なる対価の支払いがなされることを要件として、連続する後続のゲームプレイを提供する。しかしながら、特許文献１は、このようなコンティニュープレイ時の対価の支払いについて、ユーザの状況を考慮して好適なゲームプレイを提供することについて開示がなかった。 In order to play a game on a game device that requires the insertion of coins as in Patent Document 1, the user needs to prepare a consideration. Since a general game device does not have a function of returning change, a user who desires repeated game play leaves the game device or the waiting line and exchanges coins when he / she runs out of coins. It was necessary to prepare coins by doing such things.

Some game devices allow it. In other words, in a game device that provides a game provided with a so-called "continue" function, the same user is required to be paid a further consideration after the completion of one game play, and is continuously followed. Provides gameplay. However, Patent Document 1 does not disclose that the payment of the consideration at the time of such continue play provides a suitable game play in consideration of the user's situation.

本発明は、コンティニュープレイ時における不要な制御を回避しつつ、好適なゲームプレイを提供するゲームシステム、ゲーム装置及びプログラムを提供することを目的とする。 The present invention, while avoiding unnecessary control during continue playing, the game system that provides a suitable game play, and an object thereof is to provide a game apparatus and a program.
