BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game device and a game method, and more particularly, to a player who hits a target with a medal and knocks it down to provide a predetermined number of medals to the player. The present invention relates to a game device and a medal flying game method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, there is a type of game machine in which a player plays a medal by throwing it in a hole as a target.

Since the game machine hits a target hole to fly a medal, the trajectory of the fired medal flying in the air is a parabola, and the player predicts the drop point due to the drop motion of the medal in advance. Fire a medal.

Then, when the medal fired by the player enters the target hole, game points and merchandise are given to the player by the game provider.

Alternatively, there is a shooting that can be seen at festivals and the like as a game for defeating a target.

[0006] In shooting, the player shoots a gun with a game gun loaded with a bullet aiming at a target that also serves as a prize, the bullet hits the target, and the target falls from the target mounting table, so that the prize dropped. It is provided to the player by the shooter.

[0007]

By the way, in the above-mentioned game machine for flying medals, the distance to fly the medals is very short, and the time for the medals to fly in the air is extremely short, and the medals fly in the air. It was difficult to get the feeling of exhilarating by skipping the medal.

Further, since the game machine is of a type in which the medal is thrown into the hole of the target, the medal has a parabolic movement and lacks a sense of speed, and the sense of accomplishment that the medal hits the target is poor. .

On the other hand, the shooting of the target is an exhilarating feeling or a sense of accomplishment that the bullet hits the target because it shoots the game gun and hits the target, but it is troublesome for humans.
You must be manned to progress through the game.

Further, since the player only hits the target with the bullet shot by the player, the player is only provided with a prize, and thus the game is poor and the enjoyment of the game is limited.

In view of the above situation, it is an object of the present invention to provide a medal flying game device and a medal flying game method which have a refreshing feeling of flying medals and a sense of accomplishment of defeating a target, and which are rich in game characteristics. .

Between the bracket and the left side plate 4b2 of the bracket.
It is pivotally mounted on the bracket shaft 4bs installed at b.

Further, inside the mounting bracket 4b, the upright solenoid 15 is installed substantially horizontally on the bracket right side plate 4b1, and the backward tilting solenoid 20 is installed vertically on the bracket left side plate 4b2.

Next, the matto standing mechanism (target returning means) will be described.

The matt erecting mechanism is composed of the erecting solenoid 15 described above and the erecting link first member 17a and the erecting link second member 17b shown in FIG.
And the mat 4 in a state of falling down as shown in FIG.
This is a mechanism for raising aa as shown in FIG. 5 (b).

The standing link first member 17a has a notch 17ak formed at one end and the matt standing shaft 16 at the other end.
A hole through which is inserted is opened, and a spindle is installed in the central portion.

The upright link second member 17b has holes formed at both ends thereof, and is attached rotatably about the support shaft of the upright link first member 17a by the holes at one end.
Standing link 17 together with the first member 17a
Is formed.

The mat stand link 17 is located between the mounting member right side plate 4a12 and the mounting member left side plate 4a13 of the mat assembly 4a (see FIG. 4 and FIG. 5), and is provided at the other end of the standing link second member 17b. An armature (movable iron core portion) 15a of the standing solenoid 15 is connected to the hole.

The upright link first member 17a is rotatably arranged by inserting the hole at the other end into the mat upright shaft 16, and the notch 17ak at the one end is provided at the mat assembly shaft 4as. Is in contact with.

Next, the operation of the mat stand mechanism will be described.

As shown in FIG. 5 (a), when the mat 4aa is laid down by the medal, no current is applied to the standing solenoid 15 and the armature 15a is extended.

When a current is applied to the standing solenoid 15 to raise the mat 4aa, the armature 15a retracts, and the standing link second member 17b connected to the armature 15a is pulled in the direction of the arrow a, so that the standing link no. The first member 17a rotates in the direction of arrow b around the mat stand shaft 16.

As a result, the notch portion 17ak of the first standing link member 17a presses the mat assembly shaft 4as in the direction of arrow c, and the mat assembly 4a rotates about the bracket shaft 4bs in the direction of arrow d.

Thus, the mat 4aa stands up from the backward tilted position and returns to the standing position shown in FIG. 5 (b). In addition, Mat 4
When the aa is restored, the energization of the standing solenoid 15 is stopped.

When the mat 4aa stands up, the center of gravity G of the mat assembly 4a is as shown in FIG. 5 (b).
Since the mat assembly 4a is located on the left side of the bracket shaft 4bs (on the side of the mat 4aa), the mat assembly 4a rotates with respect to the bracket shaft 4bs in the counterclockwise rotation moment wl0 (note that
w is the gravity of the mat assembly 4a, and l0 is the distance from the bracket shaft 4bs to the center of gravity G).

Therefore, a part of the mat assembly 4a is
By contacting the stopper 4bt provided on the mounting bracket 4b, even if the energization of the standing solenoid 15 is stopped, the mat 4aa can be kept standing by the weight of the mat assembly 4a.

Next, the matte backward tilting mechanism (target backward tilting means) will be described.

The matt backward tilting mechanism includes the above-mentioned backward tilting solenoid 20 and the backward tilting link 21 shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 6A, the mat 4a in a standing state is shown in FIG.
As shown in (b), this is a mechanism for tilting the mat backward.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the backward link 21 has a right side plate 4a12 attached to the attachment member of the mat assembly 4a.
Between the mounting member and the left side plate 4a13 of the mounting member, holes are formed at both ends thereof, the hole of one end rotatably supports the bracket shaft 4bs, and the hole of the other end rotatably supports the rearward tilt solenoid 20. It is connected to the armature 20a and is arranged so as to come into contact with the upper part of the mat assembly shaft 4as when the mat 4aa is standing in the standing position. (Refer to FIG. 6 (a)) Further, a tension spring 22 having one end locked in the hole 4bb of the mounting bracket 4b is moored to the other end of the rearward falling link 21. The armature 20a of the backward tilting solenoid 20 is constantly urged in the extension direction.

Next, the operation of the backward tilting mechanism will be described.

As shown in FIG. 6 (a), when the mat 4aa is standing in the standing position, the mat 4aa is held in the standing position by the weight of the mat assembly 4a as described above. The falling solenoid 20 is not energized.

At this time, the armature 20a of the rearward tilt solenoid 20 is extended by the elastic force of the tension spring 22 (force in the direction of arrow a), and the rearward link 21 connected to the armature 20a has a rearward tilt link 21. Axis 4bs
It is supported by and is kept horizontal.

When the tilting solenoid 20 is energized to tilt the mat 4aa backward, the armature 20a retracts, and the tilting link 21 connected to the armature 20a moves in the direction of arrow b, as shown in FIG. 6 (a). It rotates around the bracket shaft 4bs.

As a result, the backward assembly link 21 pushes the mat assembly shaft 4as in the direction of the arrow c, and the mat assembly 4a is centered on the bracket shaft 4bs.
Rotate in the direction.

When the center of gravity G of the mat assembly 4a is located on the left side of the bracket shaft 4bs, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), the mat assembly 4a is centered on the bracket shaft 4bs by its own weight and is rotated counterclockwise in the figure. Of the mat assembly 4a, l1 is the distance from the bracket shaft 4bs to the center of gravity G of the mat assembly 4a, and the mat 4aa rotates in the direction of the arrow e and falls.

Here, when the center of gravity G of the mat assembly 4a is located on the left side with respect to the bracket shaft 4bs, the mat 4aa receives a counterclockwise moment wl1 due to the own weight of the mat assembly 4a. Therefore, when tilting the mat 4aa backward, the backward tilt solenoid 2
It is possible to stop the energization to 0 immediately after that, that is, when the mat 4aa receives the moment wl1 in the counterclockwise direction.

Next, a structure for detecting the standing position and the tilted position of the mat 4aa will be described with reference to FIG.

To detect the position of the mat 4aa, the light emitting unit 22 is used.
An optical sensor 22 (photoelectric switch) including a (light emitting diode) and a light receiving portion 22b (phototransistor) is used.

The optical sensor 22 is fixed to the bracket left side plate 4b2 of the mounting bracket 4b, and when the mat 4aa is in the standing position, as shown in FIG. 7 (a), the mating assembly left side plate 4a13 of the mounting member 4a. Are separated from the light emitting portion 22a and the light receiving portion 22b of the optical sensor 22.

On the other hand, when the mat 4aa is located in the rearward tilted position, as shown in FIG. 7B, the attachment member left side plate 4a13
Is located between the light emitting portion 22a and the light receiving portion 22b of the optical sensor 22.

Therefore, when the mat 4aa is positioned at the standing position, the light is not blocked between the light emitting portion 22a and the light receiving portion 22b of the optical sensor 22, and the light receiving portion 22b detects the light to raise the mat 4aa. Detect that you are doing.

On the other hand, when the mat 4aa is tilted to the back tilted position, the mounting member left side plate 4a13 is positioned between the light emitting portion 22a and the light receiving portion 22b of the optical sensor 22, so that the light from the light emitting portion 22a is blocked. Since the light receiving unit 22b does not detect light, it can be detected that the mat 4aa is tilted backward.

The target device including the other mat 4ab, the target device including the mat 4ac, the target device including the mat 4ad, and the target device (special target device) including the king mat 4ak are the above-mentioned mats. Since it has the same configuration as the target device 4 including 4aa, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

By the way, the cover case 5 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 hides the king Mat 4ak in a normal state, but when the game progresses to a mode in which the king Mat 4ak is targeted, 180 The king Mat 4ak is revealed by rotating it and positioning it downward.

The display device 6 can display characters 16
It is a display device that displays three-digit numbers or characters manufactured using segment fluorescent display tubes, and displays a signal to start the game, the number of mates to be defeated, and the remaining time from the start of the game. .

Further, when the number of mates that the player has defeated reaches a predetermined number and the mode is changed to the slot mode, the display device 6 randomly displays three-digit numbers at high speed.

Then, when the player presses the operation button 3a or the operation button 3b, the numeral displayed at that moment is statically displayed.

A treasure chest 7 provided below the display device 6.
Is a storage room capable of storing at least about 50 medals, and its front is open so that it can be visually recognized by the player.

With respect to the large amount of medals stored in the treasure trove 7, the medals fired by the player are changed to the mode in which the king Mat 4ak appears,
When you hit k, you will be rewarded to the player.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the pusher table 8a is located below and in front of the mat 4aa, and is a table for receiving paid-out medals and falling medals fired by the player. In addition, the movable table is adapted to perform a horizontal reciprocating motion forward and backward.

Due to the forward and backward reciprocating motion of the pusher table 8a, the medals on the pusher table 8a are positioned further below.
It falls on b.

The pusher table 8b has a payout medal, a medal fired and dropped by the player,
The pusher table 8a is a table that receives medals that drop due to the reciprocating motion of the pusher table 8a. The pusher table 8a is a movable table that performs a horizontal reciprocating motion forward and backward during the game as in the pusher table 8a.

Due to the forward and backward reciprocating movement of the pusher table 8b, the medals on the pusher table 8b further drop onto the pusher table 8c located below the medal.

The pusher table 8c is provided with medals that have been paid out, medals that are fired and dropped by the player,
The pusher table 8b is a fixed table that receives medals that fall due to the reciprocating motion of the pusher table 8b, but unlike the pusher table 8a and the pusher table 8b, the fixed table does not reciprocate back and forth.

The medals on the pusher table 8c fall on the medal dropping portion 9 located below the medals by the reciprocating motion of the pusher table 8b or the falling medals becoming saturated. It is guided to the medal ejection port 10 by the falling part 9 and the medal ejection port 10
Will be paid out to the medal discharge port receiver 10u.

By the way, each member of the game device 1 is woodworking,
Alternatively, since it is made of metal, the medals that are fired while the game apparatus 1 is in use may collide with each other, resulting in damage or depression.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, on the surface 1nh of each member of the game apparatus 1, a protective sheet 12 which is a transparent resin thin plate having a thickness of 2 to 3 mm and made of acrylic, vinyl chloride or the like is used. Is screwed on.

As described above, since the protective sheet 12 is screwed to the member in the game apparatus 1, it can be easily replaced.

The material of the protective sheet 12 is not limited to resin, but may be appropriately used such as rubber or a member in which a cushioning material is laminated.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 6 and FIG.
The protective sheet 12 is also screwed onto the surface of the mat 4aa, and similarly the mats 4aa, 4ab, 4ac, 4ad
The protective sheet 12 is also attached to the surface of the.

Next, the control system of the game apparatus 1 for executing the normal mode game, which is the first embodiment of the medal flying game method, will be described.

The game in the normal mode is played by one player using one of the lanes 1A and 1B, and the game in the normal mode is the first lane.
It consists of stages, stage 6, and king mode (special target mode).

As each stage becomes the latter half of the stage,
It becomes difficult to defeat all the mats, and the difficulty level of playing is set to increase.

For example, in the second stage, mats standing farther from the launching device than in the first stage stand up, or a large number of mats stand up, or the stage game time is short.

In the present embodiment, it is assumed that predetermined seven mats are standing on the first stage.

When the player hits the medals standing on each stage with the medals and defeats them, the number of medals corresponding to the defeated mates, for example, the number of medals that are farther from the launcher is greater. Medals and a small number of medals close to each other are paid out onto the pusher tables 8a, 8b, 8c through the medal payout opening 13.

Then, when the player hits the medals standing up in each stage within the time required for the stage and defeats them all (clears the stage), the player can proceed to the next stage. .

For example, if the first stage is cleared, the second stage
If you clear the 5th stage, you will proceed to the 6th stage.

If the player cannot hit all the standing mats by hitting the medals and defeating all of them even after the required time for the stage in each stage, the game ends.

When the player clears the first to sixth stages, the game shifts to the king mode.

When shifting to the king mode, the cover case 5
Is rotated 180 degrees and is positioned below, and the standing King Mat 4ak appears.

When the player hits the king Mat 4ak with a medal and defeats it, a large amount of medals placed in the treasure chest are paid out as rewards on the pusher tables 8a, 8b, 8c, and at the same time, the game ends.

If the player cannot hit the standing king Mato 4ak with a medal and defeat it even after the time required for the king mode has elapsed, the game ends.

FIG. 9 shows the structure of the control means for the normal mode game.

When the player presses the operation button 3a or 3b, the start signal 30a is sent to the game detection means 30.
Is entered.

The game detecting means 30 determines from the input start signal 30a that the game is in the normal mode and starts the game.

Then, the signal 30b for starting the measurement of the game time is output to the timer 32, and at the same time, the signal 30c indicating the start of the game is output to the display device 6, and the game start data 30d is sent to the mat standing device 31 (target control device). Is output.

The timer 32 starts measuring the game time when the signal 30b is input, and the display device 6 displays the game start when the signal 30c is input.

When the start data 30d is input, the mat stand means 31 outputs a signal 30f to the target device 4 of the mat to stand in the first stage and the number of mats to stand in the first stage to the display device 6. Signal 30e indicating

The mat to be erected on the first stage is predetermined, and the same applies to the second to sixth stages below.

The display device 6 displays the number of mats to be defeated in the first stage by receiving the signal 30e.

Predetermined target device 4 to which signal 30f is input
Erects Mato from the back-down position to the standing position.

When the game starts, the number of mats
The timer 32 inputs a signal 30g indicating the remaining time required for each stage to the medal payout means 33.

Then, when the player defeats the mat, a signal 30h indicating that the mat has fallen is input from the optical sensor 22 corresponding to the mat.

Mat number counting / medal payout means 33
When the signal 30h is input, a signal 30i indicating that the number of medals to be paid out according to the fallen mat, for example, the farthest mat is larger, is set to the medal supply device 33k.
Output to.

When the signal 30i is inputted, the medal supply device 33k pays out the number of medals indicated by the signal 30i onto the pusher table through the medal payout opening 13.

When the time required for the stage has passed and there is a mat that cannot be defeated among all mats standing on the stage, the mat number counting / medal payout means 33 generates an end signal and the game ends. Becomes

When the player defeats all the mats standing on the stage within the time required for the stage, the matt number counting / medal payout means 33 outputs stage clear data 30j to the stage number counting means 34.

The stage number counting means 34 outputs a signal 30k to the mat erecting means 31 to shift to the next stage after the cleared stage.

Then, for example, if the first stage is cleared, the process proceeds to the second stage, and if the fifth stage is cleared, the process proceeds to the sixth stage.

When the signal 30k is input, the matto erection means 31 is to be erected in the next stage, that is,
The signal 30f is output to the target device 4 of a mat which is more difficult to defeat than the previous stage, for example, a farther mat or a larger number of mats, and the display device 6 displays the number of mats that should stand on the next stage. The signal 30e shown is output, the timer 32 is reset, and the signal 30b1 for measuring the next stage is output.

The display device 6 displays the number of mats to be defeated in the next stage when the signal 30e is input, and the timer 32 starts measuring the time of the next stage when the signal 30b1 is input.

Thereafter, the same processing as described above is repeated until the sixth stage is reached.

In the sixth stage, the stage number counting means 34 receives the stage clear data 30j,
When the stage number counting means 34 recognizes that the sixth stage has been cleared, the data 30l indicating that the sixth stage has been cleared is output to the king matt standing / medal payout means 35.

When the data 30l is input, the king Mat erection / medal payout means 35 outputs a signal 30m to the target device 36 of the king mat 4ak, and at the same time, causes the cover case drive device 37 to display the king mat 4ak. Three
Output 0n.

At the same time, the king mat stand-up / medal payout means 35 outputs the reset signal 30o to the timer 32, and then the timer 32 inputs the stage remaining time signal 30o1 in the king mode.

The target device 36 of King Mato 4ak receives the signal 30.
When m is entered, the king Mato 4ak is erected from the backward tilt position to the standing position.

When the cover case driving device 37 inputs the signal 30n, the cover case 5 is rotated 180 degrees and positioned downward so that the player can visually recognize the king mat 4ak, and the king mat 4ak is exposed.

When the player hits and defeats the medal to the king mat 4ak, a signal 30p is output from the king mat optical sensor 38 to the king mat standing / medal payout means 35.

When the king Mato standing / medal payout means 35 inputs the signal 30p, the treasure trove 7 medal supply device 39
The signal 30q is output to.

When the treasure chest medal supply device 39 inputs the signal 30q, the medals in the treasure chest 7 are pushed to the pusher table 8.
Pay out on a, 8b, 8c.

After the treasure chest medal supply device 39 has paid out the medals in the treasure chest 7, it outputs a signal 30r to the king mato standing / medal payout means 35.

When the king mato stand-up / medal payout means 35 inputs the signal 30r, an end signal is generated to end the game.

However, even if the player has passed the time required for the king mode and the player cannot hit the king to win the medal, the king mat stand-up / medal payout means 35 generates an end signal to end the game.

Next, the game device 1 for executing the game in the battle mode, which is the second embodiment of the medal flying game method.
The control system will be described.

The two-player mode game is played by two players using lanes 1A and 1B.

Then, the two players hold down the operation button 3a and the operation button 3b at the same time for 3 seconds, whereby the game apparatus 1 recognizes the start of the competitive game.

When the game starts, five predetermined mats stand up in the standing position in lane 1A, and lane 1B.
Then, the same five mats as in lane 1A stand upright.

As described above, in the battle mode, 5 mats out of all 9 mats stand up at the start, and not all matt stand up.

Then, each time one player in lane 1A hits the medal fired and defeats Mato, the other player plays a predetermined mat in lane 1B to the standing position.

Similarly, each time one player hits the medal fired by the other player in lane 1B and defeats Mato, the predetermined mat in lane 1A played by one player stands up in the standing position.

At the end of the game time, the player who has a smaller number of mats will win.

Then, in Lane 1A, a medal of reward according to all mats that hit and defeated the medal fired by one player during the game (the higher the difficulty level of defeating mato according to the mate that is defeated, the higher the difficulty level). A large number of medals, and a small number of medals when the difficulty of defeating Mato is low) are paid out from the medal supply device to the pusher tables 8a, 8b, 8c through the medal payout opening 13.

Similarly, in lane 1B, reward medals are awarded in response to all mats hit by the medals fired by the other player during the game (the difficulty of defeating mates depending on the matt defeated is high. A large number of medals, and a small number of medals when the difficulty of defeating Mato is low) are paid out from the medal supply device to the pusher tables 8a, 8b, 8c through the medal payout opening 13.

FIG. 10 shows the configuration of the control means for the game in the battle mode.

When one player presses the operation button 3a for 3 seconds, the start signal 40a1 is input from the operation button 3a to the game detection means 41, and at the same time, the other player presses the operation button 3b for 3 seconds. The start signal 40a2 is input to the game detection means 41 from 3b.

The game detection means 41 uses the start signal 40a.

Then, the game detection means 41 starts the game in the battle mode and outputs the signal 40b for starting the measurement of the game time to the timer 32, and at the same time, the display device 6
The game start signal 40c is outputted to the mat start device 42, and the game start data 40d is outputted to the mat stand device 42.

When the timer 32 receives the signal 40b,
At the same time when the measurement of the game time is started, a signal 40e indicating the remaining time of the game is output to the display device 6.

The display device 6 receives the signal 40c,
The start of the game is displayed, and then the remaining time of the game is displayed by the signal 40e from the timer 32.

When the start data 40d is input, the matto erecting means 42 (target control device) outputs a signal 40f1 to 11ka (a predetermined number of mato target devices 4 to erect in lane 1A), and (lane 1B in lane 1B). The signal 40f2 is output to the target device 4) 11 kb of the same number as the lane 1A to be erected.

Each target device 4 in the lane 1A to which the signal 40f1 is input stands up, and at the same time, each target device 4 in the lane 1B to which the signal 40f2 is input stands up.

When the game is started and one player playing in Lane 1A hits a medal and defeats Mato,
From the optical sensor 22 corresponding to the mat, a signal 40g1 indicating that the mat has fallen is output to the opponent mat mat standing means 43 (target mutual control device).

Opponent Matto standing means 43 gives a signal 40g1
Is input, the signal 40h1 is output to the target device 4 having the fallen mat in the lane 1B.

The target device 4 in the lane 1B, to which the signal 40h1 is input, raises Mato from the backward tilt position to the standing position.

Similarly, when the other player who plays in lane 1B hits a medal and defeats Mato, a signal 40g2 indicating that Mato has fallen from the optical sensor 22 corresponding to the mat to the opponent mate erecting means 43 is sent. Output.

Opponent Mato standing means 43 is signal 40g2
Is input, the signal 40h2 is output to the target device 4 having the mat in which Lane 1A is lying down.

The target device 4 in the lane 1A, to which the signal 40h2 is input, raises Mato from the backward tilt position to the standing position.

Throughout the game, the game time discriminating means 4
4 is a signal 40i indicating the remaining time of the game from the timer 32.
Enter.

When the time required for the game has elapsed and the game is over, the game time discriminating means 44 sends a signal 40j1 to 11ta (target device 4 having a mat in the standing lane 1A) 11ta.
And outputs a signal 40j2 to 11tb (the target device 4 having the standing mat in the lane 1B) 11tb.

(Target device 4 of standing Mat in lane 1A) 11
When ta inputs the signal 40j1, the mat is tilted backward, and similarly, when 11tb (target device 4 of the standing mat in lane 1B) inputs the signal 40j2, the mat is tilted backward.

Then, the medal paying means 45 (medal supply control device) moves from the opponent mato standing means 43 to the lane 1A.
The signal 40k indicating the information of all the mats that the player who played in step 1 has defeated during the game and the information of all the mats that the player who played in lane 1B has defeated during the game are input.

Then, the medal paying means 45 is in the lane 1A.
The number of medals to be paid out by the player who has played in lane 1A to all the medals that have been defeated in the game to the medal supply device 46a (that is, when distant mats are defeated, more medals are paid out and defeated close mats) A signal 4011 indicating that a small number of medals are paid out) is output to the medal supply device 46a in the lane 1A, and to the medals supply device 46b in the lane 1B to all mats that the player who has played in the lane 1B defeated during the game. A signal 4012 indicating the number of medals to be paid out (that is, paying out more medals when distant mates are defeated and less medals when close mates are defeated) to the medal supply device 46b in lane 1B. Output.

When the medal supply device 46a in the lane 1A inputs the signal 4011, the number of medals corresponding to the mates defeated by the player who has played in the lane 1A is set to the medal outlet 1
Pay out on pusher table through 3.

Similarly, the medal supply device 46 of the lane 1B.
When b inputs the signal 4012, the number of medals corresponding to the mates defeated by the player who has played in lane 1B is paid out onto the pusher table through the medal outlet 13.

Then, the medal paying means 45 generates an end signal to end the game.

The above-mentioned control means is composed of software manufactured in assembler language or C language, and an interface (control device) such as a drive circuit for generating input / output control signals and a sensor circuit. .

Next, FIG. 11 shows the progress of the game in the normal mode.
Will be explained.

(Step 1) The player presses the operation button 3a for the lane 1A of the game machine 1 or presses the operation button 3b for the lane 1B.

(Step 2) The game machine 1 raises seven mats to be defeated by the player in the first stage, and displays the number of the mats on the display device 6.

(Step 3) The player pushes the medal with one hand against the inner wall of the medal slot 2ag1 so that the medal does not fall into the medal launching device 2a, while moving the launcher grip 2ag with the other hand. Aim for Mato.

When the aim is set, the launcher grip 2ag is fixed in that position with the other hand, and the force for pressing the medal of the one hand is released to release the medal into the medal launching device 2.
Drop into a.

Simultaneously with the drop, the medal is fired from the medal launching device 2a toward the mat.

The same operation is performed when the player uses the medal shooting device 2b.

(Step 4) Is the medal fired by the player hit Mato? (Step 5) When the player fires the medals hit by Mato, a certain number of medals according to Mato (more medals when the difficulty of defeating Mato is high, less when the difficulty of defeating Mato is low) Number of medals) from the medal supply device through the medal payout opening 13 to the pusher table 8
It is paid out on a, 8b, and 8c. The fired medals also fall onto the pusher tables 8a, 8b, 8c.

(Step 5-1) If the token shot by the player does not hit Mato, the shot token falls on the pusher tables 8a, 8b, 8c.

(Step 6) Did all the mats on the stage be defeated by the medals fired by the player? If there is a mate who is standing up without defeating all the matoes of the stage due to the medal fired by the player (step 7)
Move to.

When all the mats on the stage are defeated by the medals fired by the player, the process proceeds to (step 7-1).

(Step 7) Has the game time for the stage ended? When the game time of the stage ends, the process moves to (step 8).

When the game time of the stage is not over,
Move to (Step 3).

(Step 8) The game ends.

(Step 7-1) If all the mates are defeated by the medal fired by the player by the end of the required time for the stage, the stage is cleared and the next stage is entered.

(Step 9) Has the player completed the 6th stage? If the player has not cleared to the 6th stage, the process proceeds to (step 2).

(Step 2) The game machine 1 raises a predetermined mat (corresponding to the stage, the difficulty level of defeating all mats increases) corresponding to the next stage, and displays the number of the mat on the display device 6. To do.

(Step 10) When the player clears the sixth stage, the mode is changed to the king mode, and the cover case 5 is rotated 180 degrees to be positioned downward. In the normal state, the hidden king Mat 4ak is revealed. Let out.

(Step 11) Player is King Mat 4a
Shoot a medal aiming at k.

(Step 12) Was the medal fired by the player hit King Mat 4ak by the end of the predetermined time in the king mode? (Step 13) By the end of the predetermined time, when the player shoots the medals to the king Mat 4ak and defeats them, a large amount of medals stored in the treasure chest 7 are paid out onto the pusher tables 8a, 8b, 8c. .

Then, the game ends (step 14).

(Step 13-1) If the medals fired by the player do not hit the king Mat 4ak and cannot be defeated by the end of the predetermined time, only the medals fired by the player are pushed onto the pusher tables 8a, 8b, 8c. To fall.

Then, the game ends (step 15).

Throughout the game, the pusher tables 8a, 8b appropriately reciprocate back and forth to drop the medals on the pusher tables 8a, 8b, 8c to the medal dropping portion 9.

The medals dropped to the medal drop portion 9 are stored in the medal discharge port receiver 10u through the medal discharge port 10.
It will be the player's medal.

Further, the game machine 1 does not shift to the king mode, and when the game ends in the first to sixth stages, it is stopped at that stage.

Therefore, a person who subsequently plays the game in the normal mode using the same lane can start the game from the stage and can start the game at an advantageous position.

It is needless to say that the number and positions of mats standing in the standing position in each stage in the above-described normal mode game can be arbitrarily selected.

Next, the progress of the game in the battle mode is shown in FIG.
2 is used for the explanation.

It is assumed that player A is in lane 1A of game machine 1 and player B is in lane 1B of game machine 1 to play the game.

(Step 1-1) At the same time as player B, player A continues to press operation button 3a of lane 1A for 3 seconds.

(Step 1-2) The player B keeps pressing the operation button 3b of the lane 1B simultaneously with the player A for 3 seconds.

(Step 2-1) When the game starts,
The predetermined five mats on the lane 1A stand up at the standing position, and at the same time, the display of the game start is displayed on the display device 6.

After that, the display device 6 of the lane 1A displays the remaining game time.

(Step 2-2) When the game starts,
The predetermined five mats on the lane 1B stand upright at the standing position, and at the same time, the display of the game start is displayed on the display device 6.

After that, the display device 6 of the lane 1B displays the remaining game time.

(Step 3-1) The player A presses the medal with one hand against the inner wall of the medal slot 2ag1 so that the medal does not drop into the medal launching device 2a, while the other hand holds the launcher grip 2ag. Move and aim for Mato.
Then, when the aim is set, the other hand holds the launcher grip 2
While fixing the ag at that position, the force for pressing the medal of the one hand is loosened and the medal is dropped into the medal shooting device 2a.

Simultaneously with the fall, the medals are fired from the medal launching device 2a toward Mato.

The same operation is performed when the player uses the medal launching device 2b.

(Step 3-2) The player b presses the medal with one hand against the back wall of the medal insertion slot 2ag1 so that the medal does not fall into the medal shooting device 2a, while the other hand holds the shooting device grip 2ag. Move and aim for Mato.

When the aim is fixed, the firing device grip 2ag is fixed in that position by the other hand, and the force for pressing the medal of the one hand is loosened to release the medal to the medal launching device 2
Drop into a.

Simultaneously with the fall, the medals are fired from the medal launching device 2a toward Mato.

The operation is exactly the same when the player uses the medal shooting device 2b.

(Step 4-1) Did the medal fired by player A hit Mato? (Step 4-2) Did the medal fired by player B hit Mato? (Step 5-1) When the medal fired by player A hits Mato, a predetermined mat in lane 1B played by player B immediately stands up.

(Step 5-2) When the medal fired by the player B hits the mat, the predetermined mat in the lane 1A played by the player A instantly stands up.

(Step 6-1) Has the game time ended? If the game time is not over, the process proceeds to (Step 3-1).

(Step 6-2) Has the game time ended? If the game time is not over, the process proceeds to (Step 3-2).

(Step 7-1) When the game time is over, the player who has a smaller number of mats to win wins.

In Lane 1A, a reward medal corresponding to all mats hit by hitting the medal fired by player A during the game (the higher the difficulty level of defeating mates, the higher the difficulty level). Number of reward medals) are paid out from the medal supply device through the medal payout opening 13 onto the pusher tables 8a, 8b, 8c.

(Step 7-2) When the game time is over, the player who has a smaller number of remaining mates wins.

In Lane 1B, a reward medal corresponding to all mats hit by hitting the medal fired by player B during the game (the higher the difficulty level of defeating mates, the higher the difficulty level). Number of reward medals) are paid out from the medal supply device through the medal payout opening 13 onto the pusher tables 8a, 8b, 8c.

In the battle mode game described above, the number of mats to be initially raised in the standing position is set to 5, but it goes without saying that the number can be arbitrarily selected.

[0279] Also, when one player defeats a mat, the other player plays the mat in the lane, but it is possible to change the number and position of the mats to be raised depending on the difficulty of defeating the mat. Is.

[0280] For example, when one player defeats the matt with the highest difficulty level, the other player raises three mates in the lane where the other player plays, or when one player defeats the matt with the medium difficulty level. Stands up two mates in the lane played by the other player, or stands up one matt in the lane played by the other player if one player defeats the matte with the lowest difficulty level, or When one player defeats the matt with the highest difficulty level, the other player raises the two mates farthest from the launch device in the lane where the other player plays, and when one player defeats the matt with the medium difficulty level Stands up one mat at an intermediate distance from the launch device of the lane that the other player plays, or one player defeats the mat with the lowest difficulty If the a like other players to two standing closest Mato from the launching device of the lane to play.

As described above, the number and position of the mats to be erected in the other lane may be arbitrarily combined depending on the mates that one player defeats.

The normal mode game and the competitive mode game on the game machine 1 have been described above.
It is possible to appropriately set the following slot modes in the normal mode game and the competitive mode game depending on game points such as medals obtained by the player defeating Mato.

In the slot mode, the output is input to the display device 6 using a random number generator, a random three-digit number is displayed on the display device 6 at high speed, and the player presses an operation button. The numbers displayed on the display device 6 are stopped and displayed, and when the numbers displayed are the same, a predetermined number of reward medals corresponding to the numbers are paid out to the player.

For example, when the numbers 777 are aligned, the largest amount of reward medals are paid out, and when the numbers 111 are aligned, the smallest amount of reward medals are paid out.

Next, a third embodiment of the medal flying game method will be described.

The outline of the game of the third embodiment is shown in FIG.

This game is, for example, a game of six stages and a final jackpot game (JACK POT GAM).
E, hereafter referred to as the JP game), where each player clears each stage by hitting the medals with Mato and defeating them to obtain the predetermined points, and finally the JP
It is something that can be transferred to the game.

Each of the above-mentioned stages has a stage game and a bonus game or a winning JP game. As shown in FIG. 13, the player first plays the stage game, shoots a medal, hits Mato, and defeats it at a predetermined point ( 25
By earning points, the stage game (step 1) can be cleared to shift to the bonus game (step 2-1) or the winning JP game (step 2-2).

If the player cannot obtain 25 points, the game ends at that point (step E).
Becomes

Then, when the player plays the bonus game or the winning JP game and finishes the stage, the process moves to the next stage.

In this way, the player finally obtains the JP game by clearing the six stages.
It is possible to move to (step 4), the acquisition JP game is executed, and the present game ends.

The progress of this medal flying game is shown in FIG.
A detailed description will be given step by step with reference to FIGS.

The player is the lane 1A of the game device 1.
Alternatively, for the lane 1B, the game is started by pressing the operation button 3a as shown in FIG.

It is assumed that the player plays in Lane 1A.

When the operation button is pressed, the player first plays the stage game shown in FIG.

(Step 11) The game machine 1 is for all mats 4
While raising aa to 4ad, the control means initializes a point variable N for calculating game points (N = 0).

Here, points are attached to the mats 4aa to 4ad, and the upper mat is set to a higher score. For example, the lowermost mat 4aa has 1 point and the second mat 4ab. Is 3 points and so on.

When the player hits the medal and defeats the mat, the point attached to the mat is given to the player.

For 80 seconds, which is the game time of the stage game, an LED (Light Emitting) in the game machine 1 is used.
Diode A light emitting diode (not shown) lights up and displays.

(Step 12) The player presses the medal with one hand against the inner wall of the medal slot 2ag1 so that the medal does not fall into the medal launching device 2a, and moves the launcher grip 2ag with the other hand. Aim for Mato.

When the aim is set, the firing device grip 2ag is fixed in that position by the other hand, and the force for pressing the medal of the one hand is released to release the medal to the medal launching device 2.
It is dropped into a and the medal is ejected from the medal launching device 2a toward the mat.

The same operation is performed when the player uses the medal shooting device 2b.

(Step 13) Is the medal fired by the player hit Mato? (Step 14) When the MAT is defeated by the medal fired by the player, the point K1 attached to the MAT by the control means of the game machine 1 is added to the point variable N indicating the point acquired by the player. (N = N + K1) Then, the acquired points N of the player are displayed on the display device 6.

(Step 15) In this way, steps 13 to 15 are repeated until the game time of 80 seconds elapses.

(Step 16) If the number of points (N) obtained by the player firing the medal and hitting Mato in the stage game of 80 seconds is 25 points or more, shift to the bonus game or the winning JP game. (A2).

The player's earning points N are 25
When the number of points is less than the points, the game ends, and the game machine 1 stands by in the game start state.

In FIG. 13, when the player obtains 25 points or more in the stage game as described above, the game normally shifts to the bonus game, but with a predetermined probability, for example, 1/100, the winning JP game is won. Move to.

The probability of moving to the JP game can be variously selected by appropriately setting the probability using a random number generator in addition to the above-described 1/100.

In the bonus game, the points (N) earned by the player in the stage game are reflected in the game time. When the number of points earned by the player is N, N seconds of game time is given to the player. While the bonus game is being executed, the remaining time of the game is displayed on the display device 6.

Here, the bonus games are bonus game I (first bonus game), bonus game II (second bonus game), and bonus game III (third bonus game).
There are three types.

In the bonus game I shown in FIG. 15, all the mates 4aa to 4ad in the game machine 1 are raised.
(Step I1) (Step I2) Then, at the start of play, first, N seconds, which is the game time reflecting the number of points N obtained in the previous stage game, is displayed on the display device 6, and during the execution of the bonus game I, The remaining time of the game is displayed on the display device 6.

(Step I3) The player drops the medal into the medal launching device 2a by moving the launching device grip 2ag of the medal launching device 2a and aiming the medal to hit the mat. Fires from Mato to Mato.

The same operation is performed when the player uses the medal shooting device 2b.

(Step I4) Is the medal fired by the player hit Mato? (Step I5) When a player hits a medal and the mat is defeated, 6 medals are pushed from the medal supply device through the medal payout opening 13 to the pusher table 8
It is paid out on a, 8b, and 8c.

Also, the fired medals also fall onto the pusher tables 8a, 8b, 8c.

In the bonus game I, no matter which of the mates 4aa to 4ad is defeated, the same number of medals of 6 is paid out.

(Step I6) Is the Game Time of Bonus Game I Over? That is, steps I3 to I5 are repeated until the game time ends.
