DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game device for playing a game under predetermined rules and a control method thereof.
In particular, the present invention relates to a game device and a control method of the game device, which change a game operation condition such as a hit probability, a capability of a character in a game, or a game operation performance.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, there has been known a prize game device in which a game is played in which a win or loss is determined with a predetermined probability and a prize is paid out when the player wins. This premium game device
A box-shaped game device body, an operation panel formed on the front surface of the game device body, a prize payout port provided at a lower portion of the operation panel, and a game play section provided at an upper portion of the operation panel; A display unit provided above the game play unit. The display section displays prizes to be paid out when hit.

The main body of the game machine is provided with a prize storage and payout mechanism for storing and paying out prizes at the time of hitting, a control means for controlling the probability play of the player, and the like. In addition, a coin slot is opened in the operation panel,
Operation means such as a push button and a throttle operated by the player are provided. In the game play section, for example, three display windows for displaying a single-digit number and a picture are arranged in parallel, and the player operates the operation means after inserting a predetermined number of coins from a coin insertion slot. Thus, the numbers and the like of the three display windows change independently of each other, and after a predetermined time (several seconds) elapses, the numbers and pictures set at random are displayed in each of the display windows. Then, when the numbers and the like in the three display windows all match, a prize is won and the prize stored in the game device body is paid out to the prize payout exit. If the numbers do not match, no prizes will be paid out.

[0004] In this type of game apparatus, the probability of winning for one play is set in advance, so if you are unlucky, you may not win even if you play a plurality of times, and you will recover your investment. On the other hand, there is a problem that the next player may win the game in one play, and the game is high, but in some cases, the player is uncomfortable.

Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, a prize game apparatus of a probability variation method in which a plurality of coins are inserted at a time to change the probability of hitting has been proposed in recent years. In this probability variation type game apparatus, the maximum number of coins inserted is determined to be three. A coin holding section for holding the inserted coins is provided, and the winning probability is varied depending on the number of coins held in the coin holding section. When only one coin is held in the coin holding unit, the hit probability of one play is set to, for example, 26%, and when two coins are held, the hit probability of one play is set to, for example, 63%. When three cards are set, the probability of winning in one play is set to MAX%. Then, regardless of the number of coins inserted, play can be performed only once. Therefore, the player who enjoys the speculative property selects the insertion of one coin at a time so that a large amount of funds can be collected with a small amount of money (three coins can be played three times). The player who wants to play the game can select one play to be performed by inserting three coins at the same time.

[0006]

By the way, in the prize game apparatus of the above-mentioned probability variation method, the player recognizes the hit probability according to the number of coins to be held in the coin holding section in advance and starts playing. However, there is a new problem that the player is less nervous when the probability of hitting is unknown and lacks the interest of a prize game. That is, if three coins are put on hold, the hit probability becomes MAX%.
Unless you are very unlucky, one prize can be obtained in one play, and the prize game as a prize game with gambling is killed.

[0007] Therefore, if the player selects to play each time a coin is inserted, the probability of hitting for each play is always 26%. .

[0008] Further, since only one play can be performed regardless of the number of coins inserted at the same time, a player who wants to enjoy the play itself and to satisfy the gambling spirit is also provided. There is also a problem that makes them feel unsatisfactory.

As described above, the prize game apparatus has been described as an example of the conventional game apparatus. However, the above-mentioned problem existing in the prize game apparatus is a race in which a racing object such as a racing car is run to compete for speed. A game device, a fighting game device in which fighters such as boxers and martial arts fight, and the like also exist.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is intended to keep a player's dissatisfaction while losing gambling while ensuring a sense of tension as a game. It is an object of the present invention to provide a game device and a control method of the game device with less number of game devices.

According to the first aspect of the present invention,
A game in which a game is executed a plurality of times in accordance with the value of a valuable unit entered, a game result of one of a hit and a miss is obtained, and a predetermined premium is paid out at the time of a hit. In the apparatus, a hit probability changing means for changing the hit probability in a direction advantageous to the player, a condition setting means in which a predetermined condition for permitting the change of the hit probability is set, and the predetermined condition is cleared in a game. Determination means for determining whether or not the game has been performed, and game control means for, when determining that the above condition is satisfied, changing the hit probability in a direction advantageous to the player to play the game. It is a feature.

In the present invention, a valuable unit is a coin, a ball, a card, or the like which is inserted into a game apparatus in advance when executing a game, and is given a value as a price for enjoying the game. Further, in the present invention, the hit probability is a probability that a player plays a predetermined game and, as a result, wins or loses, thereby obtaining a prize.

According to the present invention, it is possible to set conditions so that the same player continues the game to increase the hit probability, thereby obtaining a prize while the game is repeatedly executed. As a result, if the hit probability is set uniformly as in the prior art, the inconvenience that a prize cannot often be obtained even if a plurality of plays are performed is solved, and the player is eliminated. No complaints remain.

[0014] In addition, in the conventional game machine in which the winning probability is increased by increasing the number of valuable units per game execution, the prize can be obtained by increasing the number of inserted units. However, it is not possible to play the game the number of times corresponding to the number of throws, and the player who wants to enjoy the game leaves unsatisfactory. However, in the present invention, the number of throws is increased to increase the hit probability. Does not reduce the number of games, and in this respect the player remains unsatisfied.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a game apparatus configured to execute a game a plurality of times in accordance with a value of a valuable unit inputted and to obtain a game result in accordance with a game operation of a player. An operating condition changing means for changing the operating condition in a direction advantageous to the player; a condition setting means in which a predetermined condition for permitting the change of the game operating condition is set; and the predetermined condition being cleared during the game. Determination means for determining whether or not the game has been performed, and game control means for, when determining that the above condition is satisfied, changing the game operation condition to a direction advantageous to the player to play the game. It is characterized by the following.

In the present invention, the valuable unit is the same as that of the first aspect. Further, in the present invention, the game operation condition is, for example, when the game is a fighting game in which a virtual fighter such as a boxer or a martial artist fights, the strength or agility of the fighter operated by the player, etc. In the case where the game is a racing game in which a racing object such as a racing car is run and the speed is competed, for example, the operability of the racing object operated by the player is improved. The factors that contribute to winning a race.

According to the present invention, for example, the game character ability is improved by continuing the game by the same player, whereby the condition setting is made so that the progress of the game is developed to the player while the game is repeatedly executed. When the game operation conditions such as the game character ability are set to be constant as in the related art, it is often impossible to obtain a victory at all even if the player plays a plurality of times. Is eliminated, and the player is not dissatisfied.

Also, by increasing the number of valuable units to be inserted per game execution, it is possible to improve the game character ability, and in this case, the player remains unsatisfied.

[0019] According to the eleventh aspect of the present invention, there is provided a light emitting unit comprising a plurality of light emitting members arranged in a ring and observable from the outer surface of the apparatus main body; An operation unit exposed to the apparatus main body for instructing a stop of the blinking operation and a light emitting member in a lighting state when the blinking operation is stopped by an operation on the operation unit are located at a specific contact position.

Prize payout control means for paying out the prize when the prize is paid, and a selection means, wherein a plurality of the light emitting units are provided, and the selection means is controlled by the light emission control means from among the plurality of light emitting units. And it is characterized in that it is configured to select one of those.

According to the present invention, the game becomes visually gorgeous and interesting, and it is possible to entertain the player, to give a prize to the player who hit the game, and to satisfy the player's ambition. . In particular,
If a plurality of rings are formed according to the arrangement of the light emitting members, and the determination means is configured to determine whether any one of the selected rings hits or misses, the fun is doubled depending on which ring is hit. In addition, if different premiums are set corresponding to each of the plurality of rings, the fun is further increased. Further, different premiums may be set for each of the plurality of rings.

Further, a light emitting member at a specific position among the plurality of light emitting members is lit, and a hit means that the light emitting member being turned on when the blinking operation is stopped coincides with the specific light emitting member. By doing so, it becomes possible for the player to clearly confirm the hit position. Further, if the value of the hit probability is increased by increasing the number of light-emitting members that are always lit, the mechanism for increasing the probability is simplified, which contributes to a reduction in device cost. .

Is controlled.

In this embodiment, a human body sensor 6 for detecting a state in which the player faces the premium game apparatus 1 is provided on the front surface of the lower bulging portion 12 of the casing 11, as shown in FIGS. When the human body sensor 6 continues to detect the player throughout the play, a detection signal is output to the control means 5 so that the control means 5 determines that the same person is continuing to play. It has become. As the human body sensor 6, for example, an infrared sensor that detects the presence of a human body by detecting infrared light emitted from the human body is preferably used.

Hereinafter, the play by the premium game apparatus 1 will be described by way of an example. First, the player inserts a coin into the coin insertion slot 16. Then, at the same time as the rotating body 23 of the right roulette 22 in FIG. 3 starts to rotate counterclockwise, the simulated petal 24 at the position A becomes bright by the lighting of the lamp 24a (FIG. 4), and the lighting of the lamp 24a continues. In synchronization with the rotation of the rotating body 23, the moving body sequentially moves in the direction of the arrow. Thereby, it is visually observed that one of the simulated petals 24 rotates together with the rotating body 23.

After the pseudo rotation of the simulated petal 24 has been continued for one and a half rotations, the lamp 24a of the simulated petal 24 at the position B is turned on and the lamp 24 at the position C of the roulette 22 at the center is turned on.
a, this time the rotating body 23 of the roulette 22 in the center
And the simulation petal 24 rotates clockwise. After this rotation is continued for one and a half rotation, the lighting of the lamp 24a shifts from the position D to the position E of the left roulette 22, and the rotating body 23 and the simulated petal 24 of the left roulette 22 rotate counterclockwise. I do. Then, after this rotation is continued for two rotations, the lighting of the lamp 24a shifts from the E position to the D position, and after the center roulette 22 rotates clockwise, C
From the position to the position B, the left roulette 22 rotates counterclockwise, and the relay rotation of the roulette 22 is continued. That is, the simulated petals 24 sequentially move from one roulette 22 to the next roulette 22 so as to draw a figure eight.

Then, the player presses the play button 15 at an appropriate timing so that the roulette 22 corresponding to the desired premium K stops rotating. Then, the simulated petal 2 of one of the three roulettes 22
4 is kept on (ie, the rotation of the roulette 22 is stopped), and the simulated petal 24 is turned off.
Is selected as the prize K of the roulette 22 corresponding to.

Next, the selected roulette 22 (FIG. 3)
Only the center roulette 22 is selected), the normal and reverse rotations are repeated at predetermined time intervals, and the simulated petal 24 also performs the forward and reverse quasi-rotation in synchronization with the rotation of the rotating body 23. Play button 15
Is pressed again, the roulette wheel 22 stops after a predetermined time lag, and this stop causes only the lamp 24a of one of the twelve simulated petals 24 to light up.

In the present embodiment, as shown by the dotted lines in FIG.
4 is set as the lowest standard hit petal. In order to display these hit petals, the lighting of the lamp 24a is continued, and when the simulated petal 24 that has disappeared and has simulated and moved is stopped at the hit petal, the lamp of the stopped simulated petal 24 is stopped. 24a lighting and petal lamp 2
4a is confused with the lighting of 4a, and it is determined that a hit has occurred. In addition, it can be visually recognized that the hit has occurred. Then, when the simulated petals 24 other than the hit petals are turned on in a state where the simulated movement of the simulated petals 24 is stopped, it is determined that the simulated petals 24 are out of contact. If it is determined that the prize is hit, one prize K stocked in the prize hopper 31 is obtained by the rotation of the rotating chute 32 around the horizontal axis 32a by the driving of the payout motor 33 (FIG. 2). 1
7 will be paid out.

The above three hit petals are the number set as a minimum reference. When the player performs an action satisfying a predetermined condition, the number of hit petals is controlled by the probability setting unit 57 described later. Is to be increased.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the play control by the control means 5. As shown in this figure, the control means 5 includes detection from a coin insertion sensor 41 provided on the coin selector 4, a human body sensor 6 provided on the front surface of the casing 11, and a phase sensor 27 provided on the roulette 22. A signal is input, and an operation signal from the play button 15 is input. The control means 5 includes a coin number counting section 51, a player determination section 52, a roulette control section 53, a lighting control section 54, a hit determination section (determination section) 5
5, a payout control unit 56 and a probability setting unit (hit probability changing means) 57. Note that the probability setting unit 57 has a function of a condition setting unit of the present invention.

Further, the control means 5 is provided with a RAM 58 and a ROM 59 each of which is an external storage device such as a magnetic drum. The RAM 58 is a storage device used to temporarily store data necessary for performing the play control of the premium game apparatus 1, and the ROM 59 is capable of reading, but writing, the play control program and the like. The data that cannot be stored is stored.

When the coin is inserted, the coin counting section 51 recognizes the coin by a detection signal from the coin insertion sensor 41, thereby putting the premium game apparatus 1 in a standby state and displaying the inserted coin. The number is stored in relation to the number of plays, and the number is reduced each time the play is performed. When the stored number becomes "0", the player plays even if the play button 15 is operated until the next coin is inserted. It locks so that you can no longer do it.

The roulette control unit 53 outputs a control signal to the drive motor 26 by pressing the play button 15 after inserting a coin into the coin insertion slot 16. , Play button 1
The control signal is output to the changeover switch 28 by the pressing operation of No. 5. The driving of the drive motor 26 by these control signals and the switching operation of the changeover switch 28 rotate the rotating body 23 (FIG. 4) of the roulette 22, and the lamp 24a blinks sequentially in synchronization with the rotation, thereby increasing the brightness. The simulated petal 24 that glows turns around the rotating body 23.

After a predetermined time set in a timer (not shown) elapses, the roulette control unit 53 and the lighting control unit 54
Then, the power supply to the drive motor 26 is stopped by the stop signal from the motor, and the rotating body 23 is rotated by inertia until the rotation is stopped thereafter, and the switch 28 performs the switching operation in synchronization with the drive motor 26 even during the inertial rotation. When the rotating body 23 stops, the switching operation of the changeover switch 28 is stopped at that point, so that only the lamp 24a that was turned on lastly is turned on.

The hit judging section 55 judges whether or not the result of the play is a hit. When the phase sensor 27 detects that the light-shielding plate 23e is located at the position of the hit petal set by the probability setting unit 57, the hit determination unit 55 determines a hit based on the detection signal. The hit determination signal is output to the payout control unit 56.

The payout control section 56 outputs a drive signal to the payout motor 33 based on the hit determination signal from the hit determination section 55. At the time of a hit, a driving signal is output from the payout control unit 56 to the payout motor 33 of the prize hopper 31 in which the selected prize K is stored.
Performs the payout operation, and the premium K in the premium hopper 31 is paid out to the premium payout exit 17.

The probability setting section 57 increases the predetermined minimum reference hit probability (25%) when the player takes an action that satisfies a predetermined condition, and increases the original 25% hit probability when a hit occurs. The probability is increased / decreased so as to return to the above, and has both functions of the hit probability changing means and the condition setting means of the present invention. Various actions can be considered for the action that satisfies the predetermined condition of the player. Hereinafter, the first embodiment and the second embodiment according to the above predetermined condition (that is, the condition that permits the change of the hit probability) will be described. I do.

First, in the first embodiment, when the same player plays a plurality of times in succession, the probability of hitting is gradually increased, and control is performed so that the probability returns to the original probability when a hit comes out. Things. Specifically, since three of the twelve simulated petals 24 of the roulette 22 are the lowest standard hit petals, the probability of the hit is 25%, but if the first play is missed, For example, in the second play, the number of hit petals is increased by one to four (the probability of hit is 3).
3%) If the second time is off, the number of petals per hit is increased by one in the third play to five (the probability of hitting 42%),
If the third time is off, the number of petals per hit is increased by one in the fourth play to six (the probability of hitting is 50%).
%.

By doing so, when the same player continues to play, in the fifth play,
Since the hit probability is 99%, if the player plays five times in succession, the prize K can be obtained almost certainly, and the player is not dissatisfied. In addition, when the hit does not come out even after playing five times, the subsequent hit probability is P = 9.
9% is maintained. Note that if the hit occurs up to five times, the hit probability is returned to the original 25%, and restarts from 25%.

The probability setting section 57 determines whether or not the players who play continuously are the same person based on the detection signal from the human body sensor 6. That is, when the coin insertion sensor 41 detects the insertion of a coin in a state where the human body sensor 6 continuously detects that the player is at the play execution position of the premium game apparatus 1, the probability setting unit 57 sets the same. Is determined to be continuing to play, and the probability setting unit 57 performs control to change the hit probability every time a coin is inserted. Therefore, when the detection of the player by the human body sensor 6 is interrupted, the probability setting unit 57 determines that the player has been replaced, and the hit probability is returned to the original 25%.

Next, in the second embodiment, when a plurality of coins are inserted before the start of play, the probability setting section 57
Controls to change the hit probability in accordance with the insertion of the coin. Specifically, for example, when the value of one coin is for one play, if a predetermined number of coins are inserted before the start of the play, compared to the case where the player plays every time one coin is inserted, The hit probability is controlled so that the total hit probability increases. When the value of one coin corresponds to a plurality of plays, the hit probability is set in the same manner as described above by inserting one coin. Therefore, in the case of the second embodiment, the detection signal from the human body sensor 6 is not used. The control of the change in the hit probability with the increase in the number of plays is the same as in the first embodiment.

That is, assuming that one coin corresponds to one play, for example, if the player inserts two coins before playing, the winning probability in the first play is set to 25%, and the first play is performed. Is off, the hit probability in the second play is set to 33%. Also, if three coins are inserted before play, the hit probability increases to 25%, 33%, and 42% each time the number of plays increases,
When the same four coins are inserted, the winning probability is 25%, 33
%, 42%, and 50%.

If the winning is not achieved in the fourth play, the winning probability of the fifth play is set to 99%, so that the prize K is almost certainly achieved in the fifth play.
So that you can get it. If the prize K cannot be obtained even in the fifth play, the game is over without obtaining the prize K.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the progress control of the play in the case where the probability changing method of the first embodiment (when the same player continuously plays a plurality of times) is employed. As shown in this flowchart, by turning on a predetermined power switch, the premium game apparatus 1 is set to a standby state in which play is possible, and first, it is determined whether or not a coin is inserted into the coin selector 4 (S).
T1) When a coin is inserted, it is determined whether or not the same player is at the play execution position (ST).
2). If the players are not the same player, the number of plays N, which is the initial value, is set to “0” (ST3), and then the process proceeds to step ST4.

If it is determined in step ST2 that the players are the same player, the number of plays N is added in step ST4. Then, the next steps ST5 to ST8
After it is determined what the number of plays N is, the play is executed (ST14). First time (N
= 1), the hit probability P is 25% (ST9), the step ST14 is executed, and when it is missed for the first time and for the second time (N = 2), P = 33% is set (ST1).
0) The first time and the second time are both out and the third time (N =
In the case of 3), P = 42% (ST11), and in the case of the fourth time (N = 4) because all of the first to third times are missed, P = 50%.
(ST12), and when all of the first to fourth times are missed and the fifth time (N = 5), P = 99% is set. Then, after one of the hit probabilities P is set according to the number N, a probability play is executed by the player pressing the play button 15 (ST14).

After execution of the play in step ST14, it is determined whether or not the roulette 22 has hit (ST14).
15). This determination is performed by the hit determination unit 55 based on a detection signal from the phase sensor 27. Then, when it is determined that the hit, the prize is paid out in step ST16,
Next, after “N” is initialized (N = 0), step S
Returned to T1. Also, when it is determined in step ST15 that there is a departure, the process jumps to step ST1.

According to the play control of the first embodiment, each time a player inserts a coin and makes a probability play, if the player does not win, the winning probability of the next play increases and the same player tries. If there is no hit after 4 plays, P =
99% is maintained. Therefore, if the hit probability is always constant as in the related art, the probability that the premium K can be acquired in each of a plurality of plays is constant (for example, 25
%), So that the prize K may not be acquired in a plurality of plays, and the problem that the probability that the player cannot be satisfied is large is solved, and the player continues to play. Thereby, the premium K can be obtained.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the progress control of the play when the probability changing method of the second embodiment is adopted. In the second embodiment, instead of detecting whether or not the same player is continuing to play and varying the hit probability, the prize of the player is determined by the number of coins inserted by the player into the coin selector 4 before the start of play. K
For convenience, the enthusiasm of wanting to win is counted, and the player is provided with an advantageous hit probability in accordance with this number.

First, by turning on a predetermined power switch, the prize game apparatus 1 is set to a standby state in which play is possible. Then, when the player inserts a coin (ST50), the total number of plays N, which is the initial value, is set.
And the number of plays M from the hit is once set to “0”, respectively, and the number R of coins inserted is counted (ST51). In the present embodiment, the number of coins that can be inserted at one time is determined to be five, and when five or more coins are inserted, the coin is returned to the player.

Next, the total number of plays N and the number of plays M from the hit are added (ST52), and step ST5 is performed.
In steps 4 to ST61, a hit probability according to the number of plays is set. When M is “1”, the hit probability P = 2
When 5% is adopted and the play is executed (ST62) and M is 2, 3, 4 or 5, the hit probability P is 33% (ST58) and 42 through step ST54, step ST55 or step ST56, respectively. % (ST5
9), it is set to 50% (ST60) or 99% (ST61), and play of ST62 is started with the set hit probability.

Then, after the play is executed, it is determined whether or not a hit is made (ST63). When the hit is made, the prize K is paid out (ST64), and the number of plays M from the hit is continuously cleared to "0". Is set (ST6
4) Then, step ST65 is executed. If it is determined in step ST63 that the vehicle is off, the process jumps to step ST65. In step ST65, it is determined whether or not the total number of plays N is equal to the number of inserted coins R. If not equal, the process returns to step ST53, while if equal, the game ends.

According to the play control of the second embodiment, the probability that the player will acquire the prize K is large according to the number of coins inserted before the start of play, that is, according to the player's enthusiasm for acquiring the prize. Once the prize is obtained, the probability is returned to the original 25%.

In the present embodiment, as described in detail above, on condition that the same player continues to play the game, the hit probability is gradually increased according to the number of games until the hit occurs. Therefore, conventionally, a constant hit probability is always set regardless of the number of plays, and the lucky player is one.
Sometimes you can win a prize at a time, but it is usually very difficult to win and it is disappointing, but the player can advance the game advantageously,
Since it is possible to prevent the player from being dissatisfied, the inconvenience that the dissatisfied player no longer challenges the prize game device 1 is solved.
In addition, by appropriately setting the value of the probability, it is possible to prevent the provider of the game from providing the player with a disadvantage.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but includes the following contents.

(1) In the above embodiment, the prize game apparatus 1 has been described as a game apparatus. However, the present invention is not limited to the prize game apparatus 1 but may be, for example, A racing game machine that runs a competitive object such as a racing car and competes for its speed, a fighting game machine in which fighters such as boxers and martial arts fight, and the like may be used.
