Description

Application of Article 30, Paragraph 2 of the Patent Act This was disclosed by the inventor, Nobutaka Anzai, at the award ceremony of the golf competition held at Bando Golf Club on August 12, 2020.

The present invention relates to a high-probability bingo card, and more particularly to a high-probability bingo card designed to increase the probability of achieving bingo for use in karaoke tournaments and golf competitions.

Bingo cards are cards that are generally used in bingo games played using bingo machines (equipment that extracts numbers), and are usually made up of a set of many cards with numbers written randomly in a 5 x 5 grid. used. Each square has perforations (cuts) on three sides, allowing it to be pushed out and pushed forward.

In the karaoke industry, karaoke machines with scoring functions have recently become common and widely used. When holding a karaoke tournament using this karaoke device, there has been an attempt to play a bingo game using the scoring results. However, in that case, the displayed score generally ranges from 60 points to 90 points depending on the type of scoring function and the level of singing ability, so it is not possible to use general bingo cards with a maximum number of 75 as is. .

Furthermore, recently, a karaoke device has been proposed that uses a karaoke with a scoring function to play a bingo game without using bingo cards (Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 2017-198923 and 2017-173752). The karaoke device is equipped with a bingo game function and combines the bingo game function with a karaoke scoring function, and the score obtained during karaoke is compared with the numbers on the bingo card to achieve bingo. This is what we aim for.

However, in the case of this type of karaoke device, it can only be used at karaoke parlors that are equipped with devices that have such functions. You will not be able to enjoy the excitement of the process of performing operations and achieving reach and bingo, and furthermore, it will take an excessive amount of time to achieve bingo, and it is expected that you will become bored.

In addition, there is also a proposal for a bingo card for playing a bingo game based on batting results in baseball (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2000-334078), and a proposal for playing a bingo game based on the number of strokes and number of putts in golf. There are some that propose bingo cards (Utility Model Registration No. 3160794) and others that propose bingo cards that use musical symbols instead of numbers (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-271942). The cards are specialized for baseball, golf, or music, and are not suitable for use in karaoke tournaments or golf competitions.

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2017-198923 Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2017-173752 Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2000-334078 Utility model registration No. 3160794 Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2006-271942

As described above, a general bingo card is used for a limited bingo game played at home or at a specific venue, and is not intended for use in other applications. Further, the various special bingo cards that have been proposed can only be used in connection with baseball, golf, music, etc., and are not suitable for use in karaoke tournaments or golf competitions.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a high-probability bingo card that can be used not only in the original bingo game but also in karaoke tournaments and golf competitions.

In order to solve the above problem, the invention according to claim 1 provides 5×5 squares, and divides each of the squares into four small sections to form a total of 100 small sections, and This is a high-probability bingo card characterized by having 100 small sections randomly written with different numbers.

In one embodiment, the number written in the 100 small sections is any one from 1 to 100.

Further, in one embodiment, the 100 numbers written in the 100 small sections are divided into a plurality of groups and color-coded.

In one embodiment, the squares are individually enabled.

In one embodiment, the grid is a square, and the number displayed in the small section is one of 1 to 25 in the upper left corner and one of 26 to 50 in the lower left corner. The upper right row is one of 51 to 75, and the lower right row is one of 76 to 100.

In one embodiment, the grid is diamond-shaped, and the numbers displayed in the subdivisions include numbers from 1 to 25 on the top and numbers from 26 to 50 on the left. , the right side is one of 51 to 75, and the bottom is one of 76 to 100.

In one embodiment, a hit mark is written in a hidden state on the back side of the grid at an arbitrary location, and the hit mark is made visible by appropriate means.

The high-probability bingo cards and sets according to the present invention are as described above, and have a wide range of numbers written on them, are ingenious in the number writing, and are designed to make effective use of the back side. Therefore, it is suitable for use in karaoke competitions using a karaoke device with a scoring function, or bingo games in golf competitions where the number of scores is a hot topic, and has the effect of enlivening these competitions.

FIG. 1 is a front view of an embodiment of a high probability bingo card according to the present invention. It is a back view of one embodiment of the high probability bingo card according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a method of using an embodiment of the high probability bingo card according to the present invention. FIG. 7 is a front view of another embodiment of the high probability bingo card according to the present invention. FIG. 7 is a back view of another embodiment of the high probability bingo card according to the present invention. It is a figure which shows the usage method of other embodiment of the high probability bingo card based on this invention.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The high probability bingo card 1 according to the present invention has a total of 25 squares 2 of 5×5, and each square 2 is divided into four small sections 3 to form a total of 100 small sections. , the 100 small sections 3 are each marked with a different number at random. The shape of the grid 2 is usually rectangular (square) (see FIGS. 1 to 3), but it can be rhombic (see FIGS. 4 to 6), or any other shape.

In the illustrated example, one of the numbers 1 to 100 is randomly written in 100 small sections 3. The following explanation is for a case where one of the numbers 1 to 100 is written in 100 small sections 3. In this case, the bingo cards 1 each contain all the numbers from 1 to 100, and each square 2 contains four numbers that are not present in the other squares 2. Therefore, the probability of winning bingo increases, and it does not take an excessive amount of time to achieve bingo, so there is an advantage that the player can enjoy the bingo game without getting bored. However, it is not always easy to find one specified number among 100 numbers, so some kind of ingenuity is required.

Therefore, if grid 2 is a square, the numbers displayed in small section 3 will be one of 1 to 25 in the upper left row, one of 26 to 50 in the lower left row, and one of 26 to 50 in the upper right row. It is conceivable to use one of the numbers 51 to 75, and the lower right side to one of the numbers 76 to 100 (see FIG. 1). Similarly, if square 2 is diamond-shaped, the top row is set to one of 1 to 25, the left side is set to one of 26 to 50, the right side is set to one of 51 to 75, and the bottom row is set to one of 26 to 50. It is conceivable that the number is between 76 and 100 (see FIG. 4).

It is also recommended to group numbers and color code them. For example, numbers in the range of 1 to 25 are colored black, numbers in the range of 26 to 50 are colored in blue, numbers in the range of 51 to 75 are colored in green, and numbers in the range of 76 to 100 are colored in red. By color-coding in this way, it becomes even easier to confirm the numbers.

Each square 2 can be activated individually as in the case of a general bingo card. For this purpose, in the case of the examples shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a folding line 4 is stamped on the bottom side, and perforations 5 are made on the other three sides. In addition, in the case of the examples shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, for example, the folding line 4 is crimped using the horizontal diagonal line of the lower subdivision 3 as the crease, and perforations 5 are made along the contour line above it (Fig. 6(A)).

In this high-probability bingo card 1, if one of 1 to 100 is specified, that number is always included in one of the squares 2, so when the first number is specified, you are sure to participate. There will be a square 2 corresponding to the high probability bingo card 1 of all players. The square 2 containing the designated number is punched out along the perforation 5 and raised from the folding line 4, but the raised square 2 cannot be used thereafter. That is, although grid 2 contains three numbers in addition to the designated number, if any of the three numbers is designated later, the game will pass.

In addition, as another embodiment, an aspect that utilizes the back surface can be considered. For example, by printing marks 6 on the back side of some squares 2 and covering them with a release sheet 7, or by scratch printing and peeling off the release sheet 7 (see FIG. 6(B)), or by using a coin 8, etc. A mode of making it possible to express it by cutting out (see FIG. 3(B)) or the like is conceivable. This allows the back side of the raised square 2 to be removed by peeling off the release sheet 7, carving it out, etc., in case there are no winners in the original bingo game that uses the front side, or for fun after a predetermined number of players have been reached. When a winning mark 6 appears, it is possible to compete for the number of winning marks. Furthermore, it is also possible to use a plurality of types of winning marks 6 and to set a secondary prize.

The bingo card set according to the present invention is a set of a large number of bingo cards 1, similar to a normal bingo card set, and the bingo cards 1 are supplied to the market in this set.

The above explanation is for the case where one of the numbers 1 to 100 is randomly written in 100 small sections 3, but the numbers written in small sections 3 are not limited to 1 to 100. , can be set arbitrarily depending on the purpose.

As mentioned above, since the high probability bingo card 1 according to the present invention has a wide range of numbers, it can of course be used as a bingo card in conventional bingo games. For example, bingo games at karaoke tournaments that use scoring numbers in karaoke with different levels of singing ability and different scoring functions, half scores and round scores of top performers, or bingo at award ceremonies for golf competitions that use numbers such as handicaps. Suitable for games.

The high-probability bingo card according to the present invention is as described above, and because the range of numbers displayed is wide, it can be used in karaoke tournaments using karaoke equipment with a scoring function, and in bingo games in golf competitions where the number of scores is a hot topic. It is suitable for use in conferences, meetings, events, etc., and can be expected to enliven these conventions, meetings, events, etc., and its industrial applicability is great.
