BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in a crane game machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Prizes stacked in a housing having a transparent peep cover on an upper surface or a side wall surface are separated from the outside of the housing using a crane-type prize lifting device (catcher) movably provided in the housing. A crane game device in which the catcher is moved while holding the prize by operating and catching the prize, dropping the prize to the prize outlet, and taking out the prize from the outside of the housing is known, and is widely installed in a playground or the like and widely used. It is used.

[0003] However, the fun of the conventional crane game machine depends only on whether or not the prize can be taken, or the thrill of the prize and the satisfaction when the prize is taken, which is the probability of catching the prize by the catcher. Has a problem in that it is directly affected by the problem, and is less entertaining and easy to get tired of. Also, catchers pick up prizes,
When it is carried to the prize exit properly, sound effects such as fanfare are played, and catchers are provided with LED and other lamps and gorgeous illuminations are provided, but players are often offered games. The motivation to try was less effective.

[0004]

[Problem to be solved by the invention] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to motivate a player to repeatedly play a game. It is an object of the present invention to provide a crane game device that has a strong effect, is full of interest, and is less tiring.

[0005]

The object of the present invention is to provide a sensor for detecting whether or not a prize has been taken, and to output a voice praising the prize when the prize has been taken, based on the output of the sensor. If you can not get it, we will provide a sound generator that emits a sound that ridiculs this, and a catcher that picks up prizes will have a multi-digit number display, and the catcher will activate the number display during the prize picking operation, After that, the game is stopped at random, and when the numbers are arranged in a predetermined arrangement, an additional game is provided as a bonus, so that the present invention can be achieved by a crane game device. The sensor that detects whether the prize has been taken
It is recommended to be installed inside the prize exit. The numeric display is configured by arranging 7-segment LEDs in a required number of digits, usually three digits.
2, 333, 444, 555, or 66
When the game is stopped at "777", one game is added as a bonus, and when the game is stopped at "777", two games are added. It is recommended that a sound be generated from the generator to indicate this.

[0006]

With the above arrangement, when a prize cannot be obtained, a sound is produced that teases the prize, so that the player's rivalry is tickled and a willingness to challenge is aroused, and a bonus game is awarded if lucky. Therefore, the player's interest is maintained because there is a fun to be played, and an attractive crane game device is provided.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The configuration of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of one embodiment of a crane game device according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing the configuration of a catcher portion thereof, and FIG. It is a flowchart for explaining.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a machine base, 2 denotes a so-called "lighting-type" housing provided on the machine base 1 in the form of a show-window fitted with glass so that the inside can be seen through.
Is a catcher suspended from the ceiling of the housing 2 so as to be movable back and forth, left and right, 4 and 4 are chutes for guiding the prizes picked up by the catchers to prize outlets 5 and 5, and 6 is inside the prize outlet 5. It is a prize detection sensor provided.

The machine base 1 has coin insertion slots 1a, 1a, coin return slots 1b, 1b, operation buttons 1c, 1c for moving the catchers 3, 3 back and forth, left and right, respectively, and a speaker 1d for generating sound effects. , 1d, etc. are provided.

The interior of the lighting type housing 2 is brightly illuminated, and a large number of prizes are accommodated at the bottom thereof. By operating the operation buttons 1c, 1c, the catchers 3, 2 are operated.
3 can be moved to a position directly above the premium desired by the player. When the catchers 3 and 3 are moved to a position just above the desired prize and the finger is released from the operation button, the catcher descends automatically, and the arms 3a and 3a are opened and then closed to grasp the prize (or Catcher fails), then the catcher rises automatically, moves over the chutes 4, 4 and moves the arms 3a, 3a.
Is opened, and if a prize is held, it is dropped into the chutes 4 and 4. The prize that has fallen into the chutes 4 and 4 is detected by the prize detection sensor 6 provided between the prize outlets 5 and 5 and the chutes 4 and 4, and based on the output thereof, a voice praising the prize from the speaker 1d, for example. The sound "Okay, okay, foo, hoo" is emitted ("hoo" is a sound that imitates the cooling or applause of the praise of the audience). Meanwhile, catcher 3 has shot 4
If the prize is not detected by the prize detecting sensor 6 even after the arm 3a is opened (when the prize cannot be removed), a voice ridiculing the prize from the speaker 1d, for example, "No, no, no, aha ha ha ("Ahhhhah ..." is a sound that mimics the audience's mockery laughter).

FIG. 2 shows a front view of the catcher 3.
As shown in Fig. 7, a three-digit number display 3b, which is composed of three 7-segment LEDs 30,30, is attached. When the catcher 3 descends to grab a prize, the number of each digit sequentially changes, and If the three-digit numbers are aligned when they stop randomly after a lapse of time, one or two games are added and awarded as a bonus, and a voice notifying this is issued from the speaker 1d. For example, the numeric display 3 indicates “111”, “22”
2, 333, 444, 555, or 66
6 ", one game is added as a bonus when the game is stopped, and a sound" Foo, Lucky "is emitted. When the game is stopped at" 777 ", two games are added and" Lucky, Lucky "is added. , Hoo, hoo "
If no digit is obtained, no additional game is given and no sound is issued. In addition, during the period when the number of each digit of the number display changes sequentially while the catcher descends, "Pip,
A beep sound is generated to alert the player to the numeric display. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the above series of operations.

[0012]

[Effect of the Invention] Since the present invention is structured as described above, according to the present invention, when a prize cannot be obtained, a sound is made to make fun of the prize, so that the player's willingness to retry the game is stimulated. It is possible to provide an attractive crane game device that keeps the player's interest and does not get tired because the player can enjoy the bonus game if he is lucky.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. For example, the sensor 6 for detecting whether or not a prize has been taken may be incorporated in the catcher 3. The light emitting elements and the number of digits of the number display 3b, the type of sound emitted from the sound generator, and the like can also be appropriately changed as necessary.Therefore, the present invention provides the above description within the scope of the object. It is intended to cover all modifications that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art.
