DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a printed matter on which a bingo game is printed, a printed matter and a booklet binding the printed matter, and more particularly, to a predetermined number of a winning bingo matrix printed matter and a failed bingo matrix. The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing printed matter, a printed matter, and a booklet binding the printed matter.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a bingo game is widely known as a game played at a party or the like. The contents are
The game organizer distributes a printed matter (for example, a card-shaped printed matter) having a bingo matrix printing unit in which identification symbols (for example, numbers) are arranged so that the number of rows and the number of columns are equal to the game participants, and then the game This is a game in which the organizer specifies (for example, reads out) identification symbols one by one and forms a line in the bingo matrix printing section, and gives a prize to game participants as a win. In that case, the prizes are delivered on a first-come, first-served basis, and the game ends when the prizes are exhausted.

[0003] However, this game is distributed as printed products (eg, cards, handbills, direct mail, packages, etc.) and booklets (eg, magazines, books,
Catalogs, pamphlets, etc.) and the distribution of prizes has the following issues.

[0004] In other words, when a bingo game is executed on a printed matter or booklet distributed as a product, first, a printed matter having a bingo matrix printing unit is awarded along with some transaction (eg, sale and purchase of the printed matter or booklet). Participants are distributed, and then the prize organizer designates an identification symbol by another means (for example, presented in a flyer, magazine, newspaper, television, radio, store display, etc.), and forms a line in the bingo matrix printing section. Then, a prize will be given to the prize winners as a prize. However, since it is a prize, the upper limit of the amount and the upper limit of the total amount are regulated, and in particular, the prize can be executed only within the range of the upper limit of the total amount. Therefore, even if a single line is formed in the bingo matrix printing section,
The winners were not necessarily won, and they were narrowed down to the upper limit of the total amount by means of first-come-first-served or lottery. However, this has a problem that the bingo game lacks interest as a game.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems. When a line is formed in a bingo matrix printing unit, a prize can be given to a prize participant as a winner without fail. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a printed matter, a printed matter, and a booklet binding the printed matter, in which the number of printed matters having a bingo matrix printing unit to be won can be predetermined.

[0006]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a bingo matrix printing section in which a group of identification symbols is arranged in a bingo matrix section having the same number of rows and columns, and an identification symbol specified by a separate means. In the method for producing a printed material having a bingo matrix printing unit, a designated identification symbol specified by a separate means, and a non-designated non-designated identification symbol not specified are determined whether or not one line is formed in the bingo matrix printing unit. And a step of manufacturing a predetermined number of winning bingo matrix printed matter and a failed bingo matrix printed matter based on the designated identification symbol and the non-designated identification symbol. It is.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, first, all the identification symbols (for example, numerals) to be arranged in the bingo matrix portion are designated by separate means (for example, leaflets,
Magazines, newspapers, televisions, radios, announcements at store displays, etc.) or designated non-designated non-designated symbols. Next, by producing a winning bingo matrix printed matter in which the designated identification symbol forms a single line in the bingo matrix printing unit, and a bingo matrix printed material in which the designated identification symbol does not form a single line in the bingo matrix printing unit, The number of prints having a bingo matrix printing unit to be won can be determined in advance so that a line is formed in the printing unit and a prize can be given to a prize participant as a winning.

[0008] In this case, although it has the appearance of a bingo game, it is completely different from distributing the same game from the beginning, and the fairness is inevitably lost. Therefore, claim 1 is characterized by the fact that what is predetermined is not a winning identification symbol but a designated identification symbol. In other words, if the winning identification symbol is determined in advance, all the winners will win with the same symbol, the number of winning symbols is small, it is easy to leak in advance, and the prize participants will obtain a printed material with a bingo matrix printing section There is a possibility that it is possible to determine whether the game has been won or lost. On the other hand, when only the designated identification symbol is determined, the number of steps is increased compared to the manufacturing method for determining the winning symbol, but it is not easy to determine which of the many designated identification symbols will be won and in what combination. It is possible to eliminate the possibility that a prize participant can determine whether a winning or a failure has occurred at the time of obtaining a printed material having a bingo matrix printing unit, thereby ensuring fairness.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the step of creating a predetermined number of winning bingo matrix printed matter and a failed bingo matrix printed matter based on the designated identification symbol and the non-designated identification symbol is performed by the bingo matrix section. Selecting a specific arrangement region set at least one place at a time for all the single line lines formed in
A step of manufacturing a predetermined number of winning bingo matrix printed matter and a failed bingo matrix printed matter by arranging designated identification symbols or non-designated identification symbols in the specific arrangement area. 1. A method for producing a printed matter according to item 1.

[0010] According to the second aspect of the present invention, first, at least one specific arrangement area is set for every one line formed in the bingo matrix section, so that the winning symbol is set in advance. Winning bingo matrices can be produced without selection, and bingo matrix prints can be manufactured without fail, so that when a line is formed in the bingo matrix printing section, the winning bingo matrix can be handed out to the prize participants without fail. This makes it possible to predetermine the number of prints having a print section, and at the same time eliminates the possibility that a prizewinner can determine whether a winning or a loss has occurred at the time of obtaining a print having a bingo matrix print section. Can be secured.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, a predetermined number of winning bingo matrix prints and a predetermined number of bingo matrix prints are manufactured by arranging designated identification symbols or non-designated identification symbols in the specific arrangement area. Of the processes, the process of manufacturing a rejected bingo matrix print is
3. The method according to claim 2, further comprising the step of arranging a non-designated identification symbol in the specific arrangement area.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the non-designated identification symbol is arranged in at least one specific arrangement area for every one line formed in the bingo matrix portion. Even if all of the identification symbols are designated identification symbols, the designated identification symbols do not form a single line, and it is possible to reliably produce a bingo matrix printed material, and form a single line in the bingo matrix printing section. It is possible to predetermine the number of prints having a bingo matrix printing part to be won so that the prize can be given to the prize participant without fail at the same time, and at the same time, the prize participant obtains a print having the bingo matrix printing part Ensure fairness by eliminating the possibility of being able to judge whether it was won or lost at the time It can become.

In particular, when a failed bingo matrix print is manufactured by a manufacturing method in which a non-designated identification symbol is arranged in a specific arrangement region, the designated identification symbol and the non-designated identification symbol can be randomly arranged in areas other than the specific arrangement region. for that reason,
In the case where the identification symbol is specified a plurality of times by a separate means, even if the bingo matrix print is a rejected bingo, the specified identification symbol is present on the bingo matrix print from the first specification to the last specification, and the bingo until the last specification. It is possible to enjoy the game.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, a predetermined number of winning bingo matrix prints and a predetermined number of bingo matrix prints are manufactured by arranging designated identification symbols or non-designated identification symbols in the specific arrangement area. Of the processes, the process of producing a winning bingo matrix print is
A step of selecting a designated identification symbol arranging portion for arranging the designated identification symbol in the specific arranging region; a step of listing up a line passing through the designated identifying symbol arranging portion; The step of classifying the bingo matrix portion through which the selected line passes as a designated identification symbol arrangement area, and the step of arranging the designated identification symbol in the area, and any of the locations of the bingo matrix portion through which the unselected line passes A step of arranging a non-designated identification symbol at a non-designated identification symbol location and arranging a non-designated identification symbol at the location; and a step of arranging the non-designated identification symbol in a specific arrangement area other than the designated identification symbol arrangement location. A method for producing a printed matter according to claim 2.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a step of selecting a designated identification symbol arranging position for arranging a designated identification symbol in a specific arranging area, and a step of listing lines passing through the designated identifying symbol arranging portion. Classifying the listed lines into a winning line and a failed line; and setting a portion of a bingo matrix portion through which the selected line passes as a designated identification symbol arrangement area, and arranging a designated identification symbol in the area. Arranging any of the locations of the bingo matrix portion through which the unselected line passes as a non-designated identification symbol, arranging a non-designated identification symbol at the location, and a non-designated identification symbol in a specific arrangement area other than the designated identification symbol location. The bingo matrix printed matter can be reliably manufactured by having the process of arranging the bingo matrix, and a single line is formed in the bingo matrix printing section Then, it is possible to predetermine the number of prints having the bingo matrix printing section to be won so that the prize can be given to the prize participant as a prize at the same time, and at the same time, the prize participant can print the print having the bingo matrix printing section. It is possible to exclude the possibility of determining whether the game has been won or lost at the time of acquisition, and it is possible to ensure fairness.

In particular, since there is a step of classifying the listed lines into a winning line and a failed line, a plurality of lines do not form a single line, and only one of the vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines is won. Can be a line.
Therefore, it is possible to set the number of vertical, horizontal, and diagonal winnings, and to change the rank of the vertical, horizontal, and diagonal prizes. Note that a plurality of lines can be set so as to form a single line. In other words, in order to improve the fun of the game, it is one of the effective methods to set a multiple reach state such as double reach, triple reach,
If the winning line is limited to one line, the existence of a plurality of reach states such as double reach and triple reach depends on the chance of chance (and the line to be won is always one line). However, if a plurality of lines are selected here, a plurality of reach states (and a plurality of lines to be won) are intentionally created, and the fun of the game can be effectively improved.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a printed matter having a bingo matrix printing unit having a predetermined number of winnings, which is manufactured by the method according to any one of the first to fourth aspects. It is. According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the number of prints having the bingo matrix printing unit to be won is determined in advance so that when a line is formed in the bingo matrix printing unit, the prize can be given to the prize participant without fail. At the same time, it is possible to eliminate the possibility that a prizewinner can determine whether a winning or a loss has occurred at the time of obtaining a printed material having a bingo matrix printing section, thereby ensuring fairness. . Here, the printed matter includes, for example, a card, a leaflet, a direct mail, a telegram mount, a package, and the like. The card may be any card as long as it is in the form of a card, for example, a card distributed at a party, a greeting card, a postcard, a business card, a printed card put in a pocket tissue, a prepaid card, a credit card, a memory card, an IC card, and the like. The flyer may be of any type as long as it is a foldable form. For example, there is a newspaper insert flyer, a street distribution flyer, and the like. The direct mail may be in any form as long as it is in the form of an envelope, and the telegram mount may be in any form as long as it can hold the telegram paper. The package may be any one that can be printed as a three-dimensional object that can be printed, such as a paper box for sweets, a soft packaging material for snacks, a lid or cup for ramen, a paper pack for beverages, cans, and juices. Metal cans. Of course, the invention of the present application is not limited to this, and all the things that can be printed correspond to the printed matter, and may be any of clothing, booths, home appliances, and the like.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the bingo matrix printing section in which the identification symbols are arranged in the bingo matrix section having the same number of rows and columns, the identification symbol specified by a separate means is provided by the bingo matrix printing section. In the printed matter having a bingo matrix printing unit, the number of winnings is determined in advance for each of the vertical, horizontal, and / or diagonal one-line lines. It is a printed material having a bingo matrix printing unit. According to the invention described in claim 6, the number of prints having the bingo matrix printing unit to be won is determined in advance so that when a line is formed in the bingo matrix printing unit, a prize can be given to a prize participant without fail. At the same time, it is possible to eliminate the possibility that a prizewinner can determine whether a winning or a loss has occurred at the time of obtaining a printed material having a bingo matrix printing section, thereby ensuring fairness. . In particular, the number of winnings in the vertical, horizontal, and oblique directions is set, and it is possible to add value to the bingo game, for example, by changing the rank of the prize in the vertical, horizontal, or oblique directions.

According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, in the bingo matrix printing section in which the identification symbols are arranged in the bingo matrix section having the same number of rows and columns, the identification symbol specified by a separate means is provided by the bingo matrix printing section. In a printed matter having a bingo matrix printing unit, if the number of times of specifying an identification symbol by a separate means is plural, the number of wins for each time is predetermined. A printed matter having a bingo matrix printing section, wherein According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, the number of prints having the bingo matrix printing unit to be won is determined in advance so that when one line is formed in the bingo matrix printing unit, the prize can be given to the prize participants without fail. At the same time, it is possible to eliminate the possibility that a prize participant can determine whether it is a winning or a loss at the time of obtaining a printed material having a bingo matrix printing part, and it is possible to ensure fairness Become. In particular, the number of wins for each designation is set, and added value can be added to the bingo game. At the same time, it is set so that the winner will appear each time the designation is made, dispersing the trouble of the prize organizer such as sending prizes to the winner, or setting so that the winner will appear only at the last designation In this way, the prize organizer can concentrate the time and effort of the prize organizer, such as sending the prize to the winner, and thus can perform a rational business distribution for the prize organizer.

According to an eighth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a booklet, wherein the printed matter according to any one of the fifth to seventh aspects is bound. According to the invention described in claim 8, in a booklet (for example, a magazine, a book, a catalog, a pamphlet, and the like), when a single line is formed in the bingo matrix printing unit, a prize can be given to a prize participant as a winner without fail. As described above, it is possible to provide a booklet in which the number of printed materials having the bingo matrix printing unit to be won is determined in advance, and at the same time when the prize winner obtains a booklet binding the printed material having the bingo matrix printing unit. It is possible to exclude the possibility of determining whether the game has been won or not, and to ensure fairness. This is important when implementing bingo game sweepstakes in booklets, especially magazines. That is, magazines are sold regularly,
First, the printed matter having the bingo matrix printing unit is bound and sold, and the text for designating the identification code is issued in a plurality of issues from the next issue, whereby the effect of sales promotion can be maintained. In that case, even if one line is formed in the bingo matrix printing section, it is difficult to maintain the effect of sales promotion over multiple issues if there is a lottery after that, and if it is on a first-come, first-served basis, there will be differences depending on the region As a result, there is a possibility that the prize participants may feel unfair and have an adverse effect.
In addition, since magazines can be browsed, the effect of sales promotion is lost if it is possible to determine whether the magazine has been won or lost just before obtaining the booklet.

When the number of winnings in the vertical, horizontal and diagonal directions is set, it is possible to add value to the bingo game by changing the rank of the prize in the vertical, horizontal and diagonal directions. This is important when implementing bingo game sweepstakes in booklets, especially magazines. In other words, in order to maintain the effects of sales promotion across multiple issues, it is necessary to interest readers, who are readers, as much as possible. By changing the rank of the sweepstakes, it is possible to interest the sweepstakes participants who are readers.

Further, when the number of winnings is set for each designation, it is possible to add value to the bingo game, and at the same time, it is set so that the winners appear at each designated time, and the prize for the winners is given. The prize organizers disperse the labor of the prize organizers, such as shipping operations, or concentrate the labor of the prize organizers, such as sending prizes to the prize winners, by setting the winners to appear only at the last designation. It is possible to make the business distribution reasonable for This is important when implementing bingo game sweepstakes in booklets, especially magazines. In other words, in order to maintain the effects of sales promotion across multiple issues, it is necessary to interest readers who are readers as much as possible, and a winner is set at each designated time (dispersion according to the nature of the magazine, It is possible to select the concentration, the middle, etc. For example, if the monthly magazine has a longer specified interval, it is better to disperse it, etc.), so that the prize participants who are readers can be more interested.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic external view showing a booklet of the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 is a booklet, 2 is a binding portion of the booklet, 3 is a printed material having a bingo matrix printing portion, and a bingo card which is a winning bingo matrix printed material or a dropped bingo matrix printed material, and 4 is the text of the booklet. is there. In FIG. 1, a booklet 1 is a booklet of a saddle stitching type, and a text 4 and a bingo card 3 are bound in a binding section 2. The body 4 is formed by stacking a plurality of printed signatures, and the binding unit 2 staples a wire into the signature and binds it. The bingo card 3 is bound to the signature by using an adhesive or the like. There are two types of bingo cards: winning and losing. Although the present embodiment employs the saddle stitching method, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a known binding method such as perfect binding, azimuth binding, or flat binding can be employed. Further, in the present embodiment, the bingo card 3 employs a binding method in which the bingo card 3 is attached to a signature as a card shape, but the present invention is not limited to this. Directly (for example, in the case of saddle stitching or flat stitching, stab it with a wire or thread, and for perfect stitching or aziro stitching, the back part is fixed with an adhesive such as hot melt and stapled). It may be printed as a part of the book.

In FIG. 1, the booklet 1 is used for a magazine, and a prize using a bingo game is given. In this case, the prize organizer is a publisher or an advertiser, and the prize attendee is a reader who has purchased a magazine. Sweepstakes participants purchase a magazine that is a booklet binding the bingo card 3 and judge whether or not the sweepstakes has been won by checking whether the identification symbols specified in the next issue are aligned in the purchased bingo card 3. Become.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged schematic view showing the surface of a printed material having the bingo matrix printing section shown in FIG. In FIG. 2, portions denoted by the same reference numerals as those in FIG. In FIG. 2, 4 is a bingo matrix part, 5 is an identification symbol group, 6 is a management number, 7 is a copy of the management number, 8 is a cutout line, 9 is a cutoff portion, 10
Is a copy portion, and 17 is a bingo matrix printing portion.
In FIG. 2, a bingo card 3 which is a printed material having a bingo matrix printing section is formed by connecting a separating section 9 and a holding section 10 via a cutout line 8, and the separating section 9 includes a bingo matrix printing section 17 and a management number. Reference numeral 6 is printed, and a copy number 10 is printed with a management number copy 7, and a bingo matrix printing section 17 includes the bingo matrix section 4 and the identification symbol group 5 arranged there. The bingo matrix printing unit 17 has five rows and five
The identification symbol group 5 is arranged so as to have the same number in the column, and the identification symbol group 5 uses 25 of the integers from 0 to 99. The cut line 8 may be a perforation or a print (for example, printing of a dotted line and scissors) for simply instructing cut. Further, the identification symbol is not limited to an integer, and may be any symbol, for example, a pattern of an animal, a fish, a plant, a personal item, or the like, as long as the difference between the symbols can be identified. It is not limited to 99 and can be freely increased or decreased.

In the case where the identification symbol specified by a separate means forms a line in the bingo matrix printing unit 17 and is won, the prize participant separates the cut-off portion 9 from the cutout line 8 and gives it to the prize organizer. You will send it and receive the prize afterwards. At that time, the management number 6
This corresponds to the arrangement of the identification symbols of the identification symbol group 5 of the bingo matrix printing unit 17, and the corresponding data is held by the prize organizer. Therefore, the management number 6 is the identification symbol group 5
Is a means to prevent counterfeiting and to detect counterfeiting. The copy portion 10 including the management number copy 7 is:
It remains in the hands of the reader who is a participant in the sweepstakes, and is certainly evidence that the bingo card 3 has been purchased. Furthermore, if there is a disconnection part 10 that is incorrectly sent to the prize organizer despite being lost, this is one of the means for solving the misunderstanding of the prize participants.

It should be noted that the management number 6 can be used not only for preventing forgery but also for independent lottery. For example, it is possible to carry out a lottery for a person who is lost in the bingo game by giving a sorry prize and handing out a prize.
In this case as well, the prize organizer has data corresponding to the arrangement of the management number 6 and the identification symbols of the identification symbol group 5 of the bingo matrix printing unit 17, so that the lottery can be performed quickly. In addition, the prizewinner who has won the lottery of the management number 6 has the separated part 9 as in the case of the bingo game.
Is sent to the prize organizer.
Is retained in the hands of the reader who is the sweepstakes participant, and is indeed evidence that the control number 6 has been purchased.

FIG. 3 is an enlarged schematic view showing the back surface of the printed matter having the bingo matrix printing section of FIG. In FIG. 3, portions denoted by the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 and 2 have the same configuration, and a description thereof will be omitted. In FIG. 3, 11
Is a glue allowance, 12 is a stamp sticking instruction section, 13 is a postal code, 14
Is a destination address, 15 is a destination, and 16 is a sender entry field.
In FIG. 3, a margin portion 11 is provided in the retaining portion 10, and the printed material 3 having the bingo matrix printing portion is attached to a signature (not shown) by an adhesive or the like applied to the margin portion 11. A stamp pasting instruction section 12, a postal code 13, a destination address 14, a destination 15, and a sender entry field 16 are printed on the back surface of the separation portion 9, and can be used as a postcard as it is. Further, the sender entry column 16 is provided with a space for entering the address, telephone number, name, age, and the like of the prize participant.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the bingo matrix printing portion is printed on the front surface (one surface) of the cut-off portion 9, and the printing required for use as a postcard is performed on the back surface (the other surface). With this configuration, the bingo matrix printing unit itself can be sent to the prize organizer by directly using it as a postcard. That is, in the bingo game, the bingo matrix printing unit has a function as a prize number, and sending the bingo matrix printing unit itself to the prize organizer is an essential requirement for executing the prize.

The cut-off portion 9 is rectangular paper having a long side of 14 cm or more and 15.4 cm or less and a short side of 9 cm or more and 10.7 cm or less. The weight is not less than 2 grams and not more than 6 grams. Therefore,
In the booklet of the saddle stitching method, there is a problem that it is too hard to specially bind the printed matter having the bingo matrix printing part as a signature with wire or thread, and special equipment is required.
As in the present embodiment, there is an operational effect that the facility is not limited by the method of providing the glue allowance 11 and pasting it to another signature and binding it.

FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the method for producing a printed material according to the present invention. In FIG. 4, 21 is a start,
22 is a step of determining a designated identification symbol / non-designated identification symbol, 2
3 is a specific arrangement area selection step, 24 is a determination step of winning or rejection, 25 is a step of arranging a non-designated identification symbol in the specific arrangement area, 26 is a designated identification symbol arrangement location selection step, and 27 is a classification of the hit line list. Step 28, a designated identification symbol arrangement area setting step from the winning line, 29 is a designated identification symbol arrangement step, 30 is a non-designated identification symbol arrangement location setting step from the failed line, 31 is a non-designated identification symbol arrangement step, 32 is designated identification. A step of arranging an undesignated identification symbol in a specific arrangement area other than a symbol arrangement location; a step of determining the completion of three steps; a step of randomly arranging identification symbols in a remaining bingo matrix part;
5 is a management number assigning step, 36 is an identification symbol arrangement / management number storing step, 37 is a printing step, 38 is a step of determining whether or not printing of all the sheets is completed, and 39 is an end.

The main part of the manufacturing method of the present invention can be processed by a program in the computer, and FIG. 4 corresponds to the flowchart. At this time, the hardware configuration includes a storage unit for storing the identification symbol, the arrangement of the identification symbol and the management number, an arithmetic unit for performing an operation, a printer as a printing unit for performing printing, a display unit such as a monitor, and an input unit such as a keyboard. There is. In FIG. 4, after inputting the necessary items such as the number of the winning bingo matrix printed matter and the unselected bingo matrix printed matter, the type and number of identification symbols, the number of rows and columns of the bingo matrix part, the process starts with a start 21. In the step 22 of determining the designated identification symbol / non-designated identification symbol, the designated identification symbol / non-designated identification symbol is determined automatically or by input. Here, a large number of designated identification symbols are selected, and a large number of designated identification symbols are designated as compared with designating a winning identification symbol (for example, at least five in the case of a matrix portion of 5 rows and 5 columns).

In the specific arrangement area selecting step 23, a specific arrangement area is selected from a specific arrangement area pattern storage means (not shown) created in advance. Here, the reason why the specific arrangement area is selected from the plurality of specific arrangement area patterns is to prevent a single specific arrangement pattern from resembling a rejected pattern and thereby reducing the fun of the game. In the determination step 24 of winning or rejection, it is determined whether to produce a winning bingo matrix print or a rejected bingo matrix print. If either one of them reaches the inputted predetermined number of sheets, it is determined that the other printed matter is to be manufactured.

In the step 25 of arranging the non-designated identification symbol in the specific arrangement area, the unselected bingo matrix print is manufactured by arranging the non-designated identification symbol in the specific arrangement area. Although not shown, there is a process of randomly arranging the non-designated identification symbols while avoiding duplication. Thereafter, in a step 34 of arranging identification symbols in the remaining bingo matrix part, which will be described later, the identification symbols are arranged in the bingo matrix part to complete the bingo matrix. In the designated identification symbol arrangement location selection step 26, in order to produce a winning bingo matrix print,
One designated identification symbol arrangement location is randomly selected from the specific arrangement area.

Then, the hit line list up classification step 2
At 7, a plurality of lines passing through the designated identification symbol arrangement location are listed up and classified into a winning line and a failed line. The reason why the listed lines are classified into the winning line and the unsuccessful line is to select automatically or by inputting whether the number of winning lines is limited to one or plural. In other words, in order to improve the fun of the game, it is one of the effective methods to use multiple reach states such as double reach and triple reach.If the winning line is limited to one line, multiple reach states such as double reach and triple reach The existence of the reach state depends on the chance of chance (and the winning line is always one line). However, if a plurality of lines are selected here, a plurality of reach states (and a plurality of lines to be won) are intentionally created, and the fun of the bingo game can be effectively improved. Conversely, multiple lines do not form a single line,
Only one of the vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines may be the winning line. Therefore, it is possible to set the number of vertical, horizontal, and diagonal winnings, and to change the rank of the vertical, horizontal, and diagonal prizes.

In the designated identification symbol arrangement area setting step 28 from the winning line, the location of the bingo matrix portion through which the winning line passes is set as the designated identification symbol arrangement area.
Next, in a designated identification symbol arranging step 29, designated identification symbols are randomly arranged in the designated identification symbol arranging area. Although not shown, there is a process of randomly arranging designated identification symbols while avoiding duplication.

In the non-designated identification symbol arrangement location setting step 30 from the unselected line, at least one non-designated identification symbol arrangement location at which the bingo matrix portion passes through the unselected line is set at random, and in some cases, a plurality of locations.
Then, in a non-designated identification symbol arranging step 31, the non-designated identification symbols are randomly arranged at the non-designated identification symbol arrangement locations. Of course, this line list up classification process 2
In 7, if there is no unselected line, the non-designated identification symbol arrangement location setting step 30 and the non-designated identification symbol arrangement step 31 are omitted from the unselected line.

In the non-designated identification symbol arranging step 32 in the specific arrangement area other than the designated identification symbol arrangement area, the non-designated identification symbol is arranged in the specific arrangement area other than the designated identification symbol arrangement area. This is to prevent accidental winning. Although not shown, when the winning line passes through a specific arrangement area other than the designated identification symbol arrangement location, the winning line has priority, and therefore, there is a winning line check process for checking the winning line.

In the determination step 33 of the end of the three steps, a step consisting of a designated identification symbol arrangement area setting step 28 and a designated identification symbol arrangement step 29 from the winning line, and a non-designated identification symbol arrangement place setting step 30 and a non-designation from the failed line Whether the three steps of the identification symbol placement step 31 and the non-designation identification symbol placement step 32 in the specific placement area other than the designated identification symbol placement location have been completed (if there is no failure line, the failure The non-designated identification symbol arrangement location setting step 30 and the non-designated identification symbol arrangement step 31 are omitted from the line)
Judge. If the three steps are not completed (in the case of NO), a return loop is performed immediately after the hit line list-up classification step 27. And if it is finished (YE
In the case of S), the process proceeds to the step of randomly arranging the identification symbols in the remaining bingo matrix part 34.

In the step of randomly arranging the identification symbols in the remaining bingo matrix section 34, the identification symbols are arranged in the remaining bingo matrix sections that are not arranged. The identification symbols to be arranged here are randomly selected from both the designated identification symbol and the non-designated identification symbol while avoiding duplication. this is,
This is because a bingo game cannot be established if a plurality of identical identification symbols exist in the bingo matrix. for that reason,
Although not shown, there is a step of randomly arranging designated identification symbols while avoiding duplication. In this process, since the designated identification symbols and the non-designated identification symbols are selected at random while avoiding duplication, the designated identification symbols are arranged even in the case of a bingo matrix printed matter, thereby improving the fun of the bingo game. Is possible.

In the management number assigning step 35, a management number is assigned to the sequence of identification symbols of the completed bingo matrix. Here, the management number may be any symbol or number as long as there is no overlap, may be a serial number, or may be discontinuous. Therefore, although not shown, a management number generation means is provided on the program. If no management number is assigned, this step is omitted.

In the storage step 36 of the identification symbol arrangement / management number, the arrangement of the identification symbols arranged in the bingo matrix and the management number are stored in association with each other. Here, the array is
It shows which identification symbol is arranged at which position in the bingo matrix, and it is possible to reproduce the bingo matrix from the identification symbol array. Although not shown, these are stored in the storage means of the identification symbol arrangement / management number. If the management number is not assigned, this step is omitted or only the identification symbol array is stored.

In the printing step 37, the identification code and the management number arranged in the created bingo matrix are output by a printing means such as a printer (for example, a dot printer, a laser printer, or the like), and the printed matter having the bingo matrix printing unit is output. To manufacture. In addition, paper is generally used as an output medium, but is not limited to this. Of course, some of the papers mentioned above have a long side of 14 cm or more.
Weight of rectangle not more than 5.4 cm, short side not less than 9 cm and not more than 10.7 cm is not less than 2 g and not more than 6 g, and paper quality and thickness include those that do not interfere with writing and delivery It is. It should be noted that a common print portion (for example, background, BINGO characters, matrix frame lines, etc.) is printed in advance on the output medium, and what is printed here is a portion that changes every sheet. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the common print portion may be printed here.

In the step 38 of judging whether or not all the prints have been completed, it is judged whether or not a printed material having a designated number of bingo matrix printing units has been printed, and in the case of NO, the process returns to the position before the specific arrangement area selecting means 23. If YES, go to END39 and end the manufacturing. Here, the reason for returning to the position before the specific arrangement area selecting means 23 in the case of NO is to create a bingo matrix printing unit using a plurality of specific arrangement area patterns, thereby improving the fun of the bingo game. be able to.

It should be noted that the first aspect of the present invention is not limited to the present embodiment. After a designated identification symbol and a non-designated identification symbol are determined, a printed material having a bingo matrix printing unit is manufactured based on the designated identification symbol and the non-designated identification symbol. It is the scope of the right. That is, this embodiment is a method for improving the fun of a bingo game by creating as many reach states as possible even in the case of an unselected bingo matrix print, as will be described in an example described later, and reducing the fun. Other manufacturing methods are possible. For example, after specifying a designated identification symbol and a non-designated identification symbol, only the designated identification symbol is arranged in a line in the bingo matrix portion, and then the non-designated identification symbol is arranged in the remaining bingo matrix portion, and the winning bingo matrix printed material is obtained. It is also possible to create a rejected bingo matrix print using only unspecified identification symbols. Even in such a case, if the designated identification symbol and the non-designated identification symbol are determined, the number of winnings can be determined in advance for each of the vertical, horizontal, and / or diagonal one-line lines. Further, even when the identification symbol is specified a plurality of times by separate means, if the specified identification symbol specified each time is determined, it is possible to set the number of wins for each time to be predetermined. .

[0070]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, first,
All the identification symbols (for example, numbers) to be arranged in the bingo matrix section are specified by separate means (for example, announcements in handbills, magazines, newspapers, televisions, radios, store displays, etc.). Determine the designated identification symbol. Next, by producing a winning bingo matrix printed matter in which the designated identification symbol forms a single line in the bingo matrix printing unit, and a bingo matrix printed material in which the designated identification symbol does not form a single line in the bingo matrix printing unit, When a line is formed in the printing unit, the number of printed matter having the bingo matrix printing unit to be won can be determined in advance so that a prize can be given to a prize participant as a winning.

In this case, although the game has the appearance of a bingo game, the hit or miss from the beginning is completely the same as distributing the same game, and the fairness is inevitably lost. Therefore, claim 1 is characterized by the fact that what is predetermined is not a winning identification symbol but a designated identification symbol. In other words, if the winning identification symbol is determined in advance, all the winners will win with the same symbol, the number of winning symbols is small, it is easy to leak in advance, and the prize participants will obtain a printed material with a bingo matrix printing section There is a possibility that it is possible to determine whether the game has been won or lost. On the other hand, when only the designated identification symbol is determined, the number of steps is increased compared to the manufacturing method for determining the winning symbol, but it is not easy to determine which of the many designated identification symbols will be won and in what combination. To eliminate the possibility of winning or losing when a prize participant obtains a printed material having a bingo matrix printing section, thereby ensuring fairness. Play.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, first, at least one specific arrangement area is set for every one line formed in the bingo matrix section, so that a winning symbol is previously determined. Winning bingo matrices can be produced without selection, and bingo matrix prints can be manufactured without fail, so that when a line is formed in the bingo matrix printing section, the winning bingo matrix can be handed out to the prize participants without fail. This makes it possible to predetermine the number of prints having a print section, and at the same time eliminates the possibility that a prizewinner can determine whether a winning or a loss has occurred at the time of obtaining a print having a bingo matrix print section. Is achieved.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the non-designated identification symbol is arranged in at least one specific arrangement area for every one line formed in the bingo matrix section. Even if all of the identification symbols are designated identification symbols, the designated identification symbols do not form a single line, and it is possible to reliably produce a bingo matrix printed material, and form a single line in the bingo matrix printing section. It is possible to predetermine the number of prints having a bingo matrix printing part to be won so that the prize can be given to the prize participant without fail at the same time, and at the same time, the prize participant obtains a print having the bingo matrix printing part Ensure fairness by eliminating the possibility of being able to judge whether it was won or lost at the time Operational effects that can become.

In particular, when a failed bingo matrix print is manufactured by a manufacturing method in which non-designated identification symbols are arranged in a specific arrangement area, designated identification symbols and non-designated identification symbols can be randomly arranged in areas other than the specific arrangement area. for that reason,
In the case where the identification symbol is specified a plurality of times by a separate means, even if the bingo matrix print is a rejected bingo, the specified identification symbol is present on the bingo matrix print from the first specification to the last specification, and the bingo until the last specification. It has the effect of being able to enjoy the game.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a step of selecting a designated identification symbol arranging portion for arranging a designated identification symbol in a specific arranging area, and a step of listing up a line passing through the designated identifying symbol arranging portion. Classifying the listed lines into a winning line and a failed line; and setting a portion of a bingo matrix portion through which the selected line passes as a designated identification symbol arrangement area, and arranging a designated identification symbol in the area. Arranging any of the locations of the bingo matrix portion through which the unselected line passes as a non-designated identification symbol, arranging a non-designated identification symbol at the location, and a non-designated identification symbol in a specific arrangement area other than the designated identification symbol location. The bingo matrix printed matter can be reliably manufactured by having the process of arranging the bingo matrix, and a single line is formed in the bingo matrix printing section Then, it is possible to predetermine the number of prints having the bingo matrix printing section to be won so that the prize can be given to the prize participant as a prize at the same time, and at the same time, the prize participant can print the print having the bingo matrix printing section. It is possible to eliminate the possibility that it is possible to determine whether the game has been won or lost at the time of acquisition, and it is possible to ensure fairness.

In particular, since there is a step of classifying the listed lines into a winning line and a failed line, a plurality of lines do not form a single line, and only one of the vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines is won. Can be a line.
Therefore, it is possible to set the number of vertical, horizontal, and diagonal winnings, and to change the rank of the vertical, horizontal, and diagonal prizes. Note that a plurality of lines can be set so as to form a single line. In other words, in order to improve the fun of the game, it is one of the effective methods to set a multiple reach state such as double reach, triple reach,
If the winning line is limited to one line, the existence of a plurality of reach states such as double reach and triple reach depends on the chance of chance (and the line to be won is always one line). However, if a plurality of lines are selected here, a plurality of reach states (and a plurality of lines to be won) are intentionally created, and the effect that the fun of the game can be effectively improved can be achieved.
