[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on the illustrated embodiments.

§1. Basic Configuration FIG. 1 medal game machine according to the present invention is a block diagram showing the basic configuration of a medal game machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to the present invention, it is possible to play a game in which a part of the medal accumulated on the field is dropped out of the field and paid out to the outside by inserting a medal into the field from the outside, and The present invention is applicable to a medal game device in which a player or a team can play at the same time. The embodiment shown here is a game device in which two players A and B (or two teams A and B) can play at the same time, but of course, the present invention is not limited to three or more players. Is applicable to a game device that can be played simultaneously by three or more teams).

Each component shown in the left half of the block diagram (a component having an A suffixed to the symbol) is a component involved in the play of player A (or team A). Each component shown in the right half of the block diagram (a component having a B at the end of the reference numeral) is a component involved in the play of the player B (or the team B). The components shown at the center of the block diagram (components without A or B at the end of the reference numerals) are components involved in the play of both players (or both teams). Are the constituent elements that characterize the present invention. It should be noted that the solid arrow in the figure indicates the physical movement path of the medal, and the broken arrow indicates the path of the electric signal.

As shown in the figure, the medal game device has individual fields 10A and 10B respectively assigned to individual players or teams, and the individual fields 10A and 10B have insertion means 20A. , 20B, a medal M can be inserted from the outside. Each of the individual fields 10A and 10B is a plate-shaped stage, on which a large number of medals M can be placed. The insertion means 20A and 20B have a function of inserting a medal M possessed by the player into each of the individual fields 10A and 10B. That is, the player A (or team A) uses the insertion means 20A to insert the medal M into the individual field 10A for himself, and the player B (or team B) uses the insertion means 20B to The medal M is inserted into the individual field 10B for the purpose. In addition, medals M are also supplied to the individual fields 10A and 10B from the individual medal supply means 25A and 25B, respectively. The individual medal supply means 25A and 25B have a function of supplying individual medals to the individual fields 10A and 10B from supply ports provided above the individual fields 10A and 10B, respectively, based on predetermined conditions. The condition determination for replenishment is made based on the result of the charging operation by the charging means 20A, 20B. For example, in a specific embodiment described later, the fact that the medals inserted by the insertion units 20A and 20B reach a predetermined target (here, considered as a part of the insertion unit) is one element of the condition determination. The individual medal supply means 25A and 25B are activated based on the electric signal from the target.

The individual fields 10A and 10B are provided with moving operation means 30A and 30B, respectively. The moving operation means 30A has a function of applying a moving operation to the medals M stored in the individual field 10A, and the moving operating means 30B applies a moving operation to the medals M stored in the individual field 10B. Has functions. For example, as will be described later, the moving operation means 30A and 30B are constituted by a plate-shaped pusher arranged on each of the individual fields 10A and 10B and a driving mechanism for reciprocating the plate-shaped pusher on each of the individual fields. The medals M inserted or replenished at predetermined positions on the individual fields 10A and 10B are moved by these plate-shaped pushers, and in some cases, by this moving operation, the medals M are moved to the individual fields 10A and 10B. , 10B. The payout means 40A and 40B have a function of paying out medals dropped from the individual fields 10A and 10B to the players A and B (or the teams A and B) by the moving operation. Specifically, the payout means 40A is configured by a lead-out path for guiding the medal M dropped from the individual field 10A to the payout port to the player A (or team A), and the medal M dropped from the individual field 10B is The payout means 40B is constituted by a lead-out path leading to a payout port to the player B (or team B).

As each player inserts medals, medals on each individual field increase, and some medals are dropped by the moving operation of the moving operation means, and the dropped medals are sent from the payout means. Will be paid out. Players will play games with the goal of acquiring more medals than the number of medals inserted.

The components described above are standard components provided in a conventional general medal game device. The feature of the present invention is that such a medal game device is further provided with a storage unit 50, an undecided medal replenishing means 60, and an undecided medal distribution means 70. As described above, the medal M on the individual field 10A is an individual medal exclusively used for payout to the player A (team A), and the medal M on the individual field 10B is exclusively These are individual medals used for payout to player B (team B). Therefore, in the case of the conventional medal game device, even if two players A and B play a game using the same medal game device, there is no play relationship between the two. The storage unit 50, the undecided medal replenishing means 60, and the undecided medal distributing means 70, which are the features of the present invention, provide a play relationship between the two so that the players A and B can play with each other's awareness. Fulfill the function of

The storage unit 50 is a component having a function of accommodating medals, and may be in the form of a container or simply a plate-shaped member. The storage unit 50 is a component that performs the same function as the individual fields 10A and 10B in the sense of “a component that stores the medal”. It is already determined that the medals stored in the storage unit 50 are to be used in the game of which player is to be used for the game. Therefore, the medals stored in the storage unit 50 will be referred to as “undetermined medals”. The undetermined medal supply means 60 has a function of replenishing the storage unit 50 with undetermined medals, and the undetermined medal distribution means 70 stores the undetermined medals stored in the storage unit 50 in the individual fields 10A and 10B. It has a function to distribute some of them. In other words, the undetermined medals stored in the storage unit 50 will be distributed to one of the individual fields 10A and 10B by the undetermined medal distribution means 70 in the future. It is uncertain whether distribution will take place. A battle for undecided medals in the storage section 50 is conducted between the players A and B, and a game can be played with each other's awareness.

The undetermined medal replenishing means 60 performs a replenishment process of replenishing the storage unit 50 with undetermined medals based on predetermined conditions, and the undetermined medal distribution means 70 stores the undetermined medals in the storage unit 50 based on predetermined conditions. It has a function of performing distribution processing for distributing the undecided medals to any individual field. In the case of the present embodiment, both the replenishment process and the distribution process are performed based on the conditions that are satisfied as a result of the input operation by the input unit. In the specific embodiment described later, the fact that the medal input by the input means 20A and 20B reaches a predetermined target is one element of the condition determination, and the supply of the undetermined medal is performed based on the electric signal from the target. The means 60 and the undecided medal distribution means 70 are activated.

For example, a replenishment target and a distribution target are provided above the individual fields 10A and 10B, respectively, when the inserted medal hits the replenishment target on the individual field 10A, and When a target for replenishment on 10B is hit, a fixed number of medals are supplied from the undetermined medal supply means 60 to the storage unit 50 in any case. On the other hand, when the inserted medal hits the distribution target on the individual field 10A, the undetermined medals (all or some) stored in the storage unit 50 are changed to the undetermined medals. The distribution means 70 distributes the tokens to the individual field 10A. If the inserted medals hit the distribution target on the individual field 10B, the undetermined medals (all May be distributed on the individual field 10B by the undetermined medal distribution means 70.

If the undetermined medals in the storage unit 50 can be distributed on one's own individual field, the number of medals on one's own field increases, so that the probability of paying out medals naturally increases, and Can advantageously proceed. Therefore, each player plays a game under an operation of distributing as many undecided medals as possible to its own individual field with the accumulating unit 50 supplying as many undecided medals as possible. In some cases, despite the fact that a large number of undetermined medals could be supplied to the storage unit 50 by one's own efforts, the undetermined medals are eventually distributed to the opponent's individual field. Cases can happen. Thus, while the conventional medal game device could only play a so-called “game of a machine opponent”, the medal game device according to the present invention added an element of “a game of a human opponent”. become.

§2. Specific Embodiment (Part 1) FIG. 2 is a front view showing an example of a specific embodiment of the medal game device according to the present invention. In this medal game device, it is possible to play with two teams of one or two members. A play section 110 occupying the upper half of the apparatus is formed in a region in the housing in which a glass plate is fitted on the front, and each player can check a game progressing inside through the glass plate. On the other hand, the operation unit 120 occupying the lower half of the apparatus functions as a pedestal supporting the play unit 110 and has a function of performing a medal insertion operation and a payout operation.

The medal insertion slots 131A and 132A are ports for two players who belong to the team A who stands in the left half of the apparatus and play a game, and insert medals. Two players who belong to Team B, who stands in the right half and plays games. Similarly, operation rods 133A and 134A are devices for two players belonging to team A to perform a medal insertion operation, and operation rods 133B and 134B are two players belonging to team B. Is a device for performing a medal insertion operation. For example, when a player inserts medals through the medal insertion slot 131A, the medals are loaded into an unillustrated insertion section, and are loaded into the insertion section by the player performing an operation of pressing a button on the upper portion of the operation rod 133A. The medal is flipped up and thrown into the left half space of the amusement section 110. The loading position can be controlled by tilting the operating rod 133A back and forth and left and right. Each player performs a medal insertion operation by aiming at a desired insertion position. On the other hand, the medal payout port 135A is a port through which medals paid out to the team A flow out, and the medal payout port 135B is a port through which medals paid out to the team B flow out. Eventually, each player inserts medals through the medal insertion slots 131A, 132A, 131B, 132B, operates the operating rods 133A, 134A, 133B, 134B to skip the medals, and pays out the medals paid out. It will be received from the exits 135A and 135B.

On the other hand, many of the components in the play section 110 are also arranged separately on the left and right. Of course, the components arranged in the left half of the game unit 110 relate to the team A, and the components arranged in the right half of the game unit 110 relate to the team B. The individual fields 141A and 141B are individual fields for teams A and B, respectively, and a medal M is placed thereon. Plate-shaped pushers 142A and 142B are arranged on the upper surfaces of the individual fields 141A and 141B. These plate pushers 142A and 142B are reciprocated in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing by a driving mechanism (not shown). FIG. 3 is a top view showing the positional relationship between the individual fields 141A and 141B and the plate-like pushers 142A and 142B. Although the individual fields 141A and 141B are fixed stages, the plate pushers 142A and 142B are stages that reciprocate with a constant amplitude in the vertical direction in FIG. The position of the plate-like pusher 142A in the figure indicates a state where the plate-like pusher 142B has moved to the front side, and the position of the plate-like pusher 142B indicates a state where the plate-like pusher 142B has moved to the farthest side.

The medals M inserted by the team A are placed on the upper surfaces of the individual fields 141A and the plate-shaped pushers 142A, and the medals M inserted by the team B are placed on the upper surfaces of the individual fields 141B and the plate-shaped pushers 142B. Will be. A mechanism (not shown) for preventing medals from dropping is provided on the sides and back of each stage, and medals fall only from the near side of the stage. A stage housing box 140 is provided at the back of each stage, and the plate-like pushers 142A and 142B move to the back through a slit provided at the front of the stage housing box 140, or move forward or backward. They will move and reciprocate repeatedly. The medals M on the plate-shaped pushers 142A and 142B are pushed out by the upper wall of the slit of the stage housing box 140 toward the near side when the plate-shaped pushers 142A and 142B move to the back, and the individual fields 141A and 141B. Fall on. On the other hand, the medals M on the individual fields 141A, 141B are pushed forward by the front end faces when the plate-like pushers 142A, 142B move to the front, fall from the individual fields 141A, 141B, and receive medals. It flows out to payouts 135A and 135B.

The individual medals are discharged from the individual medal supply port 143A based on predetermined conditions, and are scattered on the individual field 141A or the plate-like pusher 142A. Similarly, individual medals are discharged from the individual medal supply port 143B based on predetermined conditions, and are scattered on the individual fields 141B or the plate-like pushers 142B.

The targets 151A, 152A and 153A are arranged at positions where the medal inserted by the team A can be reached, and the targets 151B, 152B and 153B are arranged at positions where the medal inserted by the team B can be reached. I have. Each target has a built-in sensor for detecting medals, and when a medal hits, a predetermined detection signal is issued. The medals that have hit the target fall on the individual fields 141A, 141B or the plate-like pushers 142A, 142B, similarly to the medals off the target. The display screens 161A and 161B are for presenting various messages to the players of the teams A and B, respectively. The indexes 162A and 162B in the form of anchors serve to indicate the current distribution probability of undetermined medals stored in the storage unit 170 to each individual field. The indices 162A and 162B are both suspended by chains, and indicate that the higher the lifting state, the higher the distribution probability. In the state shown in the figure, the position of the index 162B is higher than the position of the index 162A, which indicates that the distribution probability to the team B is higher than the distribution probability to the team A at this time. ing.

From the undetermined medal supply port 171, undetermined medals are discharged to the storage unit 170 based on predetermined conditions. The storage unit 170 is a vessel in the shape of a ship and has a function of storing the ejected medals. When a predetermined condition is satisfied, the storage of the undetermined stored medals is performed by a drive mechanism (not shown). It has a function to scatter medals on one of the individual fields or on a plate-shaped pusher. For example, in the case of scattering on the individual field 141B and the plate-like pusher 142B on the team B side, as shown by an outline arrow in FIG. The ship body tilts to the right, and after all the accumulated medals M that have been accumulated are scattered, the ship returns to the original position.

In this embodiment, the processing of replenishing individual medals from the individual medal supply ports 143 A and 143 B, the processing of replenishing undetermined medals from the undetermined medal supply port 171, and the processing of distributing undetermined medals stored in the storage unit 170 Are executed based on the conditions that are satisfied as a result of the input operation. For example, regarding the game for team A, first, when a medal inserted by a player of team A hits any of the targets 151A, 152A, and 153A, the display screen 161A displays the replenishment of individual medals and an undecided medal. The conditions for supplying medals or distributing undecided medals are presented. This condition is, for example, an instruction such as “hit a medal in the order of targets 151A, 152A, and 153A within 30 seconds”. When the player can achieve the instructed condition, a predetermined number of individual medals are supplied from the individual medal supply port 143A, or a predetermined number of undetermined medals are supplied from the undetermined medal supply port 171.

The conditions for receiving the distribution of undecided medals stored in the storage unit 170 are set more strictly, and a plurality of conditions must be satisfied step by step. Then, each time one of the conditions is satisfied, the index 162A or 162B is raised upward by a predetermined size. When the index of one of the teams is raised to the highest position, the corresponding team is stored in the accumulation unit 170. You can receive the distribution of all undecided medals stored in. As described above, the distribution of the undecided medals in the storage unit 170 is a battle for teams A and B, and if one of the teams receives the distribution first, the storage unit 170 becomes empty. , The later team will not be able to receive the distribution. Eventually, the locations of the indices 162A and 162B indicate the current distribution probabilities, the higher the location, the higher the distribution probabilities.

The display screens 161A and 161B show the result of the condition determination or the progress of the supply or distribution of the undecided medals, so that the supply or distribution is not performed because the predetermined conditions are satisfied. This display screen shows the progress that has been made and the progress of the process until the conditions are satisfied (for example, the process of clearing each target when instructed to hit three targets in order). Can be confirmed.

§3. Specific Embodiment (Part 2) FIG. 5 is a partial front view showing another example of the specific embodiment of the medal game device according to the present invention. This medal game device can also be played by two teams of one or two members. Although only the amusement section occupying the upper half of the apparatus is shown in the figure, the operation section showing the lower half of the apparatus is almost the same as the embodiment described in §2.

The individual fields 241A and 241B are individual fields for teams A and B, respectively, and a medal M is placed thereon. Plate-shaped pushers 242A and 242B are arranged on the upper surface of each individual field 241A and 241B, and their functions are the same as those of the above-described embodiment. Individual medals are discharged from the individual medal supply port 243A based on predetermined conditions, and are scattered on the individual field 241A or the plate-like pusher 242A. Individual medals are discharged from the individual medal supply port 243B based on the predetermined conditions. Is discharged and scattered on the individual field 241B or the plate-like pusher 242B.

In this embodiment, the storage unit 270 is in the form of an airplane. The left and right wings of the airplane function as storage plates arranged in a region extending from above the individual field 241A to above the individual field 241B. The undecided coins ejected from the undecided medal supply ports 271A and 271B are accumulated on the upper surface of one of the left and right wings (accumulation plates). Targets 251A and 251B are provided in the engine portion of the airplane. The player of team A determines the aim at the time of insertion so that the medal hits the target 251A, and the player of the team B determines the aim at the time of insertion so that the medal hits the target 251B. Various information to be presented to the players of teams A and B are displayed on the display screens 261A and 261B, respectively.

The index 262 has a function of indicating the current distribution probability of undetermined medals stored in the storage unit 270 to each individual field, similarly to the anchor-type indexes 162A and 162B in the above-described embodiment. In the example shown here, the indicator 262 is composed of seven lamps arranged in the horizontal direction, and one of these lamps is turned on, and the lighting position indicates the distribution probability. In other words, the farther the lighting position of the lamp is to the left, the higher the probability that the team A will receive the distribution. The closer to the right, the higher the probability that the team B will be distributed. In this embodiment, the airplane-type storage unit 270 itself also performs the same function as the index 262. In other words, the distribution probability is indicated by the inclination of the storage plates constituting the two wings. The more the two wings are tilted to the left, the higher the probability that the team A side will receive the distribution is. The higher the probability that Team B will receive the distribution. In the illustrated example, the third lamp from the right is lit, and both wings are slightly inclined to the right. At this time, the probability of the team B receiving the distribution is slightly higher than the probability of the team A receiving the distribution. It is high.

In this embodiment, when a medal inserted by a player hits a target, either individual medals are supplied or undecided medals are supplied. Which will be done and how many medals will be replenished is determined by randomness. In addition, the determination result is presented on the display screens 261A and 261B. For example, suppose that a coin inserted by the player of team A falls on the individual field 241A after hitting the target 251A. In this case, a sensor provided on the target 251A detects that the medal hits the target, and in the first case, a predetermined number of medals are transmitted from the individual medal supply port 243A by randomness using random numbers. In the second case, a predetermined number of medals are supplied to the right wing (left wing when the airplane is viewed from the front) of the storage unit 270 from the undetermined medal supply port 271A. In the case of the second case, the inclination of both wings inclines to the left by one step, and the lighting lamp of the indicator 262 also moves to the left by one step (if it changes from the state shown in the figure, The two wings are horizontal and the central lamp is on. In other words, the probability of distribution to teams A and B returns to a state of fifty-fifth.)

As described above, every time the players of the teams A and B hit the targets 251A and 251B, the game develops in an advantageous state in some way. The inclination state of the two wings of the aircraft and the lighting state of the indicator 262 will change from side to side each time. However, when the state changes to the leftmost or rightmost stage, the state is accumulated on the wings of the storage unit 270. All the undecided medals that have been played will be scattered on the individual field 241A or 241B. FIG. 6 shows that all the undetermined medals accumulated on both wings are displayed on the individual field 241B on the team B side as a result of the inclination state of the two wings of the airplane and the lighting state of the lamp of the indicator 262 being changed to the rightmost stage. Shows the state of being scattered. Through holes are formed in the fuselage of the airplane so that undetermined medals accumulated on the wing can move to the left and right, and undetermined medals on the left wing in the figure pass through the through hole in the fuselage to the right. And falls on the individual field 241B. In other words, when the rightmost lamp of the indicator 262 is turned on, the two wings are tilted to the right until all the pending media stored in the two wings of the storage unit 270 slide down to the right. Become. In this way, when the distribution probability is indicated by the inclination state of both wings, it is possible to intuitively grasp which team is advantageous.

In the above example, when the medal inserted by the player hits the target 251A, either the supply of individual medals or the supply of undecided medals is always performed. Such replenishment may be performed only with a predetermined probability based on randomness using randomness. For example, when a medal hits the target 251A, a window for a slot machine is displayed on the display screen 261A, and individual medals are supplied only when the pattern appearing in this window has a specific combination. Alternatively, the supply of undetermined medals may be performed. In addition, a special pattern combination such as a so-called “jackpot” is defined, and when this “jackpot” appears, the lighting state of the lamp of the indicator 262 and the inclined state of both wings of the storage unit 270 are determined. Regardless, the wings may always be tilted to the final stage toward the team where the “jackpot” has appeared, so that the distribution of undetermined medals may be performed.

§4. Specific Embodiment (Part 3) FIG. 7 is a partial front view showing still another example of the specific embodiment of the medal game device according to the present invention. This medal game device can be played by six teams of one or two members. As shown in the figure, the medal game device has a hexagonal shape as a whole, and includes a game portion 310 occupying the upper half of the device and a base portion 320 occupying the lower half of the device. The play section 310 is surrounded by six pillars and six glass plates, and the players of one team play while standing in front of a predetermined glass surface. A team display 311 indicating the number of each team is provided on the roof of the game unit 310. Here, for convenience of explanation, only the components related to the game of the first team playing at the front position in the figure will be described, but the components related to the game of the second to sixth teams are also completely omitted. The same is true.

At the lower left and right sides of the glass surface, medal slots 331 and 332 are provided, respectively. In the above-described embodiment, the mechanism for flipping the inserted medals is provided. However, in the embodiment described here, the medals inserted into the medal insertion slots 331 and 332 are naturally rolled by gravity, and Of the individual field 341 or the upper surface of the plate-shaped pusher 342 provided at the position. The functions of the individual field 341 and the plate-shaped pusher 342 are the same as those of the above-described embodiment, and the plate-shaped pusher 342 performs a reciprocating motion on the upper surface of the individual field 341. Each of the medal insertion ports 331 and 332 is formed of a cylinder having a groove for guiding medals, and the medal insertion position can be adjusted to some extent by moving the position of the cylinder back and forth and right and left. In this embodiment, no target equivalent is provided, and the inserted medals fall directly onto the individual field 341 or the upper surface of the plate-shaped pusher 342. The medals dropped from the individual field 341 are paid out from a medal payout port 335.

At the center of the amusement section 310, a mountain 350 is provided. The individual fields 341 for the first to sixth teams are arranged so as to surround the mountain 350. A display screen 361, a cylindrical medal supply port 362, a small trolley-shaped individual storage section 363, a rail 364, and a tunnel 365 are provided above the individual field 341 of the mountain section 350. These components are provided separately and independently for each team. The display screen 361 has a function of presenting various information to a player of the first team. The medal supply port 362 functions as an individual medal replenishing means for replenishing individual medals toward the individual field 341 of the first team, as described later, and replenishes undetermined medals to the individual storage unit 363. It also functions as medal supply means. The individual storage unit 363 is provided at a position facing the first team, but the pending medals stored here are not necessarily distributed to the individual field 341 for the first team. Rather, it is undecided which individual field will be distributed.

The rail 364 forms a path for reciprocating the small trolley constituting the individual storage unit 363, and the individual storage unit 363 moves along the rail 364 to a position at the back of the tunnel 365 and the front of the tunnel 365. You can move between the positions. The medal supply port 362 is arranged at a position before the tunnel 365. When the individual storage section 363 is at a position before the tunnel 365, the medals discharged from the medal supply port 362 are individually stored. It is stored in the unit 363. However, when the individual storage unit 363 is located at the back of the tunnel 365, the medals discharged from the medal supply port 362 fall down to the near side, and are scattered on the individual field 341 and the upper surface of the plate-shaped pusher 342. It is. After all, when the individual storage unit 363 is located at a position before the tunnel 365, the medal supply port 362 functions as an undetermined medal supply unit that supplies undetermined medals to be stored in the individual storage unit 363. However, when the individual storage section 363 is located at the back of the tunnel 365, the medal supply port 362 functions as an individual medal supply means for supplying individual medals to be scattered in the individual field 341.

On the other hand, a rail 371 is provided on the orbit around the mountain-shaped portion 350 so that the large minecart-shaped collection container 370 can make orbital movement. During the game, the large minecart-shaped collection container 370 keeps orbiting slowly on the rail 371. The collection container 370 having a large minecart shape plays a role of collecting and distributing undetermined medals stored in the individual storage portion 363 having a small minecart shape. Tunnels 365 are respectively formed in the mountain-shaped portions 350 at positions facing the six teams, and individual storage portions 363 each having a small minecart shape are provided in each of the tunnels 365. Here, when it becomes necessary to distribute the undetermined medals stored in the specific individual storage unit 363 to the specific individual field 341, the collection container 370 having a large minecart shape is replaced with a small minecart shape. The specific individual storage unit 363 is moved to the vicinity thereof, the vehicle is stopped at that position for a while, and the undetermined medals stored in the specific individual storage unit 363 are collected. Specifically, by tilting the small minecart toward the large minecart, the accumulated unanswered medals can be transferred to the large minecart. Subsequently, the large-sized trolley-shaped collection container 370 is moved to the vicinity of the individual field 341 to be distributed, stopped at that position for a while, and the collected undetermined medals are scattered on the individual field 341 to be distributed. To do. Specifically, by tilting the large minecart toward the individual field, collected medals can be scattered on the individual field.

As described above, the collection container 370 can perform a process of distributing the undetermined medals stored in the optional individual storage unit 363 to the optional individual field 341. In this way, the undetermined medals in each of the individual storage units 363 are eventually distributed to one of the teams by the round container 370, but to which team until the distribution is actually performed. It is undecided whether to be distributed. Here, the control of what kind of distribution processing is performed by the collection container 370 having a large minecart shape is performed. The individual storage section 363 having a small minecart shape is moved to the back of the tunnel 365 or to the front. The control and the control of how many medals are to be ejected from the medal supply port 362 are both performed based on a condition judgment taking into account randomness based on random numbers.

The medals that have fallen from the individual field 341 are paid out to a medal payout exit 335 through a payout path (not shown). On the payout path, a sensor that detects the passage of medals is provided. Is provided. Then, when this sensor detects the passage of a medal, the condition judgment considering the above-mentioned contingency is executed. Specifically, a window for a slot machine is displayed on the display screen 361, and the pattern of the window for the slot machine changes each time the sensor detects the passage of a medal. . In other words, when a medal is paid out from the medal payout port 335, the slot machine on the display screen 361 is activated. Then, when the pattern appearing in this window becomes a specific combination, medals are ejected from the medal supply port 362, the small trolley-shaped individual storage unit 363 moves to the back of the tunnel 365, Control is performed to move to the near side or to cause the large trolley-shaped container 370 to perform a collection process.

In this embodiment, “jackpot” and “superjackpot” are defined as special picture combinations that can receive the distribution of undetermined medals stored in the individual storage unit 363. Here, the “jackpot” is a special pattern indicating that the undetermined medals stored in the individual storage unit arranged in front of the player are distributed on his own individual field. When the “jackpot” appears on the display screen 361 of the first team, the large truck-shaped collection container 370 stops at the position in front of the first team. Then, the undetermined medals in the individual storage unit 363 are collected in the collection container 370, and the undetermined medals in the collection container 370 are scattered on the individual field 341 as it is. On the other hand, the `` super jackpot '' is a special pattern that indicates that the undetermined medals stored in the individual storage units located in front of other teams are distributed on their own individual field. When a “super jackpot” appears on the display screen 361 of the first team, first, a large trolley-shaped collection container 370 is placed in front of another team (which team is determined by the pattern of the slot machine). Stop at the location. Then, the undetermined medals in the individual storage units of the other teams are collected in the collection container 370. Subsequently, the large trolley-shaped collection container 370 stops at the front position of the first team, and the undetermined medals in the collection container 370 are scattered on the individual fields 341 of the first team.

After all, each time a “jackpot” is obtained in the slot machine on the display screen, each team can receive the distribution of the undetermined medals in the individual storage section in front of the team, and can receive the “super jackpot”. Each time a "" is obtained, a pending medal in the individual accumulator in front of another team can be preempted. In practice, the distribution probability of the undetermined medals stored in the individual storage units to the individual fields is the distribution probability to the individual field at the corresponding position (for example, the front probability of the first team). In the case of the individual storage section, it is preferable that the distribution probability to the individual field 341 for the first team) is set higher than the distribution probability to the other individual fields. In other words, the probability that an unresolved medal in the individual storage in front of you will be distributed to you by your “jackpot” will be higher for another team by the “super jackpot” of another team. It is preferable to set it higher than the probability of distribution.

In general, an individual storage unit existing in the game area of one's own game has the impression that it is a storage unit for one's own game. The pending medals in the individual accumulators in this area are more likely to be distributed to oneself, and give a stronger impression that they belong to oneself. In this way, if the players of each team have the impression that the unresolved medals in the individual storage section in front of them are belonging to them, a “super jackpot” is issued. In this case, it is possible to create the impression that the property of another team has been intercepted, and at the same time, to emphasize the fun of `` playing with human opponents '' between players playing games. .

As described above, the present invention has been described based on some embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and can be implemented in various other modes. In particular, the condition setting for performing the supply processing by the individual medal supply means or the undecided medal supply means or the distribution processing by the undecided medal distribution means is performed by various settings other than the condition setting described in the above embodiment. Is possible.
