[Game progress, processing in each scene, etc.]
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a relationship between a ranch, a stable, and a train where a player can place a racehorse. As shown, the player can place his or her own racehorse on a ranch, stable or train. Data indicating whether the racehorse is in the ranch, stable or train center may be managed in the satellite device 200 or may be centrally managed in the racehorse database 142 of the main device 100.

  In the horse racing game that the game apparatus 1 advances, the life of the racehorse does not change when it is grazed on the ranch, but when it is in the stable or the train, the life decreases for each game. When running in a race, the racehorse must be moved to the stable and registered for a run from the stable before one or more games. Race horses can be moved between the ranch and stables. It is also possible to perform automatic training (automatic training) by sending racehorses in the ranch or stables to the train. When automatic training in the train center is completed (including when the player interrupts before the race is finished), the racehorse is automatically moved to the ranch.

(Login process)
When the player inserts the IC card 300 into the card reader / writer 250 of the satellite device 200, the card data input control unit 212 detects card insertion, and the login processing unit 218 starts login processing. The login processing unit 218 displays a personal identification number input screen on the monitor 230 via the video output unit 214 and accepts that the player inputs the personal identification number to the input operation unit 240 and the input instruction reception unit 213. The login processing unit 218 compares the personal identification number input from the player with the personal identification number held by the main apparatus 100, and if the two match, determines that the player is an appropriate player and permits login. The login processing unit 218 transmits a login notification including the satellite ID and the card ID to the main apparatus 100, and the satellite management unit 122 of the main apparatus 100 associates the satellite ID and the card ID with the satellite correspondence table 141. to manage.

(Bet game (outline))
The bet game management unit 219 and the bet game management unit 123 are configured such that a player wins a single win, a double win, a frame win, a horse run, a wide run, a horse run, It manages betting games for betting on in-game currency in the form of multiple, WIN5, etc. Details of the betting game will be described later.

(Racing horse mode, jockey mode)
The racehorse mode management unit 223 and the racehorse mode management unit 127 accept the start of racehorses that satisfy the race condition among the racehorses held by the player for each race to be held, and carry out the races. When the racehorse to run in the race is determined, the jockey mode management unit 224 and the jockey mode management unit 128 display the selectable jockeys, cause the player to select the jockeys, and determine the jockeys to ride.

  The racehorse mode management unit 127 determines the ability parameters (speed, stamina, etc.), suitability for the course form (turf / dirt, distance, corner curvature, gradient, etc.), assumed pace, and stance The race development and results are determined based on the jockey skill, random numbers, and the like, and the race development and results are displayed on the large display 160.

(Raising of racehorses)
While the racehorse belongs to the stable, the racehorse mode management unit 223 and the racehorse mode management unit 127 determine the ability (speed, racehorse) of the racehorse based on the type and number of fodder given to the racehorse by the player. Improve stamina, etc.) and increase or decrease weight.

  FIG. 5 is an example of a display screen showing a scene in which fodder can be given to the racehorse. In the figure, when the player selects a fodder included in the fodder list L and performs a confirming operation, the fodder is given to the racehorse, and a performance-up effect peculiar to each fodation occurs in the racehorse. The corresponding medal is consumed. In addition, by touching the recommendation button B1, the most suitable fodder for the racehorse at that time is automatically selected.

  When the player selects the racehorse and performs an operation to instruct the input operation unit 240 to move it to the train center, a train center request is made from the satellite device 200 to the main device 100. The selection instruction for the input operation unit 240 is recognized by the racehorse mode management unit 223 via the input instruction reception unit 213.

  FIG. 6 is a display screen example when a racehorse to be bred is selected, (a) is a display screen example after selecting a racehorse from the ranch, and (b) is after selecting a racehorse from the stable. It is an example of a display screen. In either case, selection is performed by touching the “Train” button (Trescen button) B2. When the train center request is made, the racehorse mode management unit 127 in the main device 100 determines the number of medals (credits) of the satellite device 200 that has made the train center request, the remaining life of the target racehorse, and whether the train center is free. If it is possible to accept the training request, “OK” is returned to the satellite device 200. In response, the racehorse mode management unit 223 moves the racehorse to the train center managed by the train center mode management unit 227. Due to the movement to the train center (deposit), the racehorse cannot run to the race until the automatic breeding is completed, and the operation cannot be performed except for the interruption of the automatic breeding described later. Further, at the time of moving to the train center, the number of medals corresponding to the selected type of auto training is collected from the credit. In place of the advance payment of medals, the payment may be weekly or postpay. The payment method may be a format approved by the player (such as selecting OK / NG by a button touch or the like) or an automatic withdrawal format.

  When the deposit period ends, the train center mode management unit 131 in the main device 100 notifies the corresponding satellite device 200 of the expiration of the train center period. In response to this, the owner game management unit 222 in the satellite device 200 makes a tressen result request to the main device 100. The owner game management unit 126 in the main device 100 calculates a training result reflecting the breeding effect, saves the ability value in the racehorse database 142, and notifies the satellite device 200. Here, the training effect is the amount of racehorse ability increase (change amount of speed, stamina, etc.) by depositing to the train, and is determined by the deposit period to the train, the number of medals, or a random number, for example. .

  The training mode management unit 227 in the satellite device 200 displays the training results as a movie and a comment on the monitor 230 via the video output unit 214. At this time, BGM or the like is also output to the speaker 270 via the audio output unit 215. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a display example of the training results. As shown in FIG. 7A, a plurality of movies MV1 to MV5 flow for a predetermined time, and the training in the training is displayed in a digest manner. Then, a dialog box shown in (b) is displayed on the screen, and a comment and a message to graze on the ranch are displayed. Touching the “OK” button B3 ends the display of the training result.

(Ranch mode)
When the player selects the racehorse and instructs the input operation unit 240 to move to the ranch, the racehorse mode management unit 223 or the train center mode management unit 227 moves the corresponding racehorse to the ranch. Let Moving to the ranch stops the life of the racehorse.

[Bet game]
When the race event is started, the bet game management unit 219 in the satellite device 200 acquires data such as odds from the main device 100. The odds are determined based on a predetermined rule by using the data stored in the race start table 144, the racehorse database 142, and the jockey database 143 by the bet game management unit 123 in the main device 100.

  FIG. 8 is an example of a screen for accepting a bet operation by a player, and is an example of a screen for performing a single win / double win bet operation displayed as a default. In the area A1, a horse name column, a result column, a single win column, a double win column, and the like are provided. In the area A2 at the bottom of the screen, buttons for selecting how to bet are displayed, and by touching these, it is possible to shift to a corresponding page. On this screen, a single win or a double bet is placed on each racehorse, and the cumulative bet number is displayed for each racehorse. The betting operation is performed by touching the software switch in which the odds of the 3rd row winning column or the 4th row winning column are described from the left in FIG. Is displayed.

  When the betting time ends, the betting game management unit 219 of the satellite device 200 notifies the main device 100 of the betting content by the player. This will start the race time. At the end of the race, medals (in-game currency) are paid out to the hit player based on the bet content.

  If the bet is in the win, double win, frame series, horse series, wide, horse single or triple series, the odds are multiplied by the number of bets, that is, the amount of in-game currency bet. In-game currency is paid out.

(WIN5)
On the other hand, when the bet is made in the form of WIN5 and the prediction is correct, a fixed value (for example, 10,000 sheets) of in-game currency is paid out. The WIN 5 in the game apparatus 1 is a form in which the horses that will be first in each of five races are collectively predicted and voted. In order to place a bet in the WIN5 format, the player cannot bet an arbitrary amount, and the winning probability according to the predicted performance parameters of the five horses, the suitability of the course, the skill of the jockey, etc. It is required to bet an amount (hereinafter referred to as a bet request amount) corresponding to the probability.

  As a result, it is possible to prevent the amount of in-game currency paid out at the time of hitting from becoming so large that the game balance is impaired. As described above, the in-game currency is not only used as a stake in a betting game but also consumed for various events such as the development of a racehorse. For this reason, if the in-game currency that cannot be used up is paid out, there will be an adverse effect such as the ability to grow an unlimited number of strong horses, and the fun of the game will be impaired. In the game apparatus 1, since the amount of in-game currency paid out at the time of hitting is a fixed value, it is possible to realize a double win betting game such as WIN 5 in a manner that does not impair the game balance.

  9 to 12 are diagrams showing changes in the reception screen for accepting a WIN 5 betting operation by a player. These reception screens are displayed on the monitor 230 under the control of the double win bet management unit 221 and the video output unit 214.

  FIG. 9 shows a reception screen in the initial state. In the state shown in FIG. 9, the first race is closed up and the horse name is displayed, and one or more horses predicted to be first in the first race can be selected.

  By touching the tab or the like of the second race from the state shown in FIG. 9, the second race is shifted to a close-up state. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the player closes up the second race.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the player has finished predictive input for each race. Here, as highlighted in FIG. 11, the first horse and the fourth horse for the first race, the first horse, the second horse and the eleventh horse for the second race. 3 horses, 3 horses, 4 horses, 5 horses and 13 horses, 4 horses, 12 horses, 4 horses, 3 horses and 5 horses The two were selected. Therefore, the player has selected 36 types of purchases (voting tickets) of 2 × 3 × 3 × 1 × 2.

  As shown in FIG. 11, when one or more of the races are selected for all the races, the requested bet amounts corresponding to the 36 purchases are displayed on the monitor 230 (indicated as “276.0” in the figure). . When at least one head is selected for each race, the double win bet management unit 221 transmits the selected purchase to the double win bet management unit 125 and obtains a bet request amount from the double win bet management unit 125. It is displayed on the monitor 230. When the player touches the bet button C1 while the requested bet amount is displayed, the bet on the WIN 5 is confirmed. The double win bet management unit 221 transmits the confirmed purchase to the double win bet management unit 125.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a state in which the player has further selected horses No. 6, No. 7, No. 8, No. 10, No. 11 and No. 11 from the state shown in FIG. is there. When a buy eye is added in this manner, the hit probability increases and the bet request amount also increases (denoted as “544.1” in the figure).

(Calculation of bet request amount)
In addition, even if the bet is made in the form of WIN5 and the prediction is partially correct (for example, in the case of 4 races and in the case of 3 races), a fixed value (for example, 2,000 if it is in 4 races) In-game currency is paid out in the case of 3 races. As a result, the player can be encouraged to actively participate in WIN 5 which is very difficult to hit, and the fun of the game can be improved.

  By the way, if paying out a fixed value in-game currency only in the case of 5 races, all the winning ratios of the selected horses are multiplied, and the multiplication result and the payout rate (1-deduction rate) are multiplied by the fixed value. By multiplying, the required bet amount can be obtained.

  However, since the game apparatus 1 pays out the in-game currency in all three races, four races, and five races, the double-betting bet management unit 125 determines each pattern in the three races. It is necessary to calculate the bet request amount in consideration of the appearance probability of each pattern in four races.

  Formula (1) is an example of a calculation formula for obtaining a bet request amount. Where P (k) is the probability that the prediction is correct in the kth race, that is, the probability that the selected horse will be first (if multiple horses are selected, the total probability of being first) Value).

  As described above, the race is performed by the racehorse mode management unit 127, for example. The racehorse mode management unit 127 determines the race development and results based on the ability parameters of each racehorse that has started, suitability for the course form, assumed pace, leg quality, jockey skill, random number, and the like. The double win bet management unit 125 calculates the probability that the selected horse will be first by using the logic that the racehorse mode management unit 127 calculates the result of the race, or the racehorse mode management Can be acquired from the unit 127.

  As shown in Expression (1), the double win bet management unit 125 multiplies all winning ratios of the selected horses and multiplies the payout amount (10,000) in the case of five races (FIG. 1). (A)) and the second term, which is calculated by multiplying the appearance probability of all patterns in 4 races by the payout amount in the case of 4 races (2,000), and all patterns in 3 races The third term obtained by multiplying the appearance probability by the payout amount (500) in the case of three races is added and divided by the value obtained by subtracting the deduction rate Heg from 1 to determine the bet request amount.

  If the bet request amount exceeds the upper limit (for example, 80% of the payout amount in the case of 5 races), the betting-type bet management unit 125 prohibits betting with WIN 5 You may not bet on buying eyes (voting tickets). This is to prevent the player from making a purchase with a high probability of hitting for the purpose of raising the ranking.

[Summary]
According to the game apparatus 1 of the present embodiment described above, when making a bet in the format of WIN5, a bet request amount corresponding to the hit probability is requested, and if the prediction is correct, a fixed value in-game currency Therefore, it is possible to prevent the amount of in-game currency paid out at the time of hitting from becoming so large that the game balance is impaired. As a result, it is possible to realize a double-winning betting game such as WIN5 in a manner that does not impair the game balance.

  In addition, even if the bet is made in the form of WIN5 and the prediction is partially correct, the player will actively participate in WIN5, which is very difficult for the player to hit, in order to pay out a fixed amount of in-game currency. It is possible to improve the fun of the game.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. And substitutions can be added.

  For example, the present invention can be applied not only to a horse racing game but also to a game that reproduces a bicycle race, a boat race, an auto race, a dog race, and the like.

  In the above embodiment, WIN5, which is a five-stake betting method, is exemplified. However, n-winning WINn (n is an integer of 2 or more), that is, all of n races which are arbitrary integers of 2 or more. This method can also be applied to a method of hitting one landing. In this case, in the same way as in the above embodiment, even when the bet is made in the form of WINx and the prediction is partially hit, in order to pay out the fixed value in-game currency, for example, using the formula (2) The bet request amount may be calculated. In Expression (2), Prize (x) indicates the amount of in-game currency that is paid out when the target number is x.
