DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention is a game of bowling, and each registration type i ji'1. The number of games played is registered (entry) in Game 1) II, and the number of fallen female pins as a result of pitching with each registered number as a target (hereinafter referred to as 1) (hereinafter referred to as the "target number") matches (hereinafter referred to as the "target number" or "strike") more than one (hereinafter referred to as the "target number").
! 11 (hereinafter referred to as 1 hit 11.1 number), a game system in which scores are competed based on the number difference, t, or degree (hereinafter referred to as ``entry bowling''). The device 1fil L has a game style conversion function that allows various types of entry bowling games to be performed while sharing the same lane.
In addition, it is equipped with a compatibility function between different game styles of U-ridge mode, and this compatibility detail pin allows various types of conventional bowling (hereinafter referred to as "standard bowling") and entry bowling to be used. The present invention discloses a game device in which players can select and play a style of game (-r), respectively.

StructureIn a game like bowling, where there are multiple games with different playing styles, the frame format (pattern) of each game style and tomonibinsupanoto (setup:
i) Each element of format, correctness judgment, game format, score calculation method, and display style (hereinafter referred to as "mode element").

) are matched, the set is called "Same Game Mode", and when the mode elements do not match, it is called "Same Game Mode".
11 of each set when forming a plurality of different sets of
Assuming that these are different game modes, the various styles of entry bowling presented here as an example are the same game mode, and are different game modes from standard bowling.

By the way, it is possible to smoothly carry out entry bowling by sharing the conventional standard bowling facilities (11<
In order to solve this problem, we have created a new game style attached to each lane so that you can select and implement the style of your choice from among multiple game techniques with different game styles. A bowling device with a conversion function is required, and the means for realizing various functions of such a game device and the connection relationship thereof will be explained with reference to FIG. 1 (claim correspondence diagram). A means (f) for selecting and inputting a game technique of any style from the technique styles, setting the channel address of the player, and counting the frequency for outputting the number of frames and the number of pitches. , player signals are input into r7iJ by a signal specifying the pitching order, a means for player checking ()°), and a registration form prescribed or defined for each game style of entry bowling. It is constituted by a means (Z) for entering the number of games.

Of these, the game style selection JR means (J') is a storage means (A) for system programs according to each game style pattern to be incorporated into the gaming machine, and a storage means (C) for system programs for each game mode pattern. Accordingly, an arbitrary game style is selected and input via the game style conversion means (d), and when a plurality of game modes are incorporated, via the game mode compatibility means (g).

(C) (S) ('L") is the same mode (hereinafter "
Press mode C) to connect (S) to the circuit of tile (C>channel I/')
In the circuit, press (T) and 'anti-tile <T> channel 1
In the circuit No. 9, the ma/ζ symbol (St) exemplifies the selection key of the game style of a different mode (hereinafter referred to as "Mode <2>J"), and when this (St) is pressed, the "Style <S"

These circuits for each game style control the system program for each game style! A record of going to J
(A) and the game mode system program f 1l
By using the storage means (c) for jfj, you can select any A4 game style selection key. By pressing the button, the address of the storage unit of that game mode is excited, and by the player check input 0) and this game style J's 1 (manpower (7)), In addition to setting up a "channel" based on the 7-choice playing style of the daughter player, from then on (up to the ζ game set),
Check the channel address by hand.
It is used as a means to bring out j'.

In addition to serving as a means for connecting channels in this way, the game checking means ω also counts the number of frames and the number of pitches per game by multiplying the frequency of the check. For example, when setting the round classification, pitch execution 1i- when specified by the skip order (1 - designation signal (4)) in conjunction with the frame count.
This is the first input method.

In the frame format of standard bowling (referred to as Natsushita's "Standard Frame"), the number of pitches per frame is two, excluding cases of strikes, and only in the 10th and final frame is there a strike or a strike. In this case, you can pitch up to 6 times, whereas in the 7-frame format of entry bowling (hereinafter referred to as "Entry frame"), you can pitch only once per frame. If you are unable to hit any pins due to reasons such as this, you can set a limit on the number of times you hit the ball (e.g. 6 times), including the first time, or you can pitch an unlimited number of times until you fall.
Hereinafter, it will be referred to as Lost Stand Dirt Mode 1. ) and the entry bowling game style (hereinafter referred to as "Entry mode").
In either mode, the frequency of game consideration input for each section of each game process is 1ltlJ so that it is valid only once, the number of frames and the number of pitches are an up counter, and the number of remaining frames is the number of executions. A down counter is output to output i&, respectively.

The game number entry means (Z) is a means for specializing the entry bowl link, and in a device that implements ten-pin bowling, IJ < 1l by ten keys.

Use the 11 keys of t@> or select-S to input and output <A> to <O> and <10> depending on the game style. By the way, in the entry mode, the entry format for the number of games differs depending on the conditions stipulated or defined for each game style, but generally speaking, the entry mode for the number of games that can be entered is all or part of the specified number of registered pieces.・Random number adding means (y) that is randomly set and registered, and the number of games with specific roles or constraints added to the prescribed number of registrations (hereinafter referred to as "number of characters")
That's what it means. ) or set separately from the prescribed number of registered characters, and character number setting means (/L) for inputting other game numbers according to the set character number, these random number addition means and character number setting (The number of games can be entered arbitrarily based on the number of characters automatically output by means)
An example of the circuit mechanism of the game number entry means including random number addition and character number setting is as shown in FIG. , the number of games to be randomly set for each registered number, the range of the number of games, the timing of output, and the display position (location) of each number of games in the entry display area of the display device. In addition, the number of characters is the type and content of the number of characters for each game style, and the prescribed number for each type. In this example, the number of characters is set by adding random numbers, and This shows the case where the number of games is entered based on the set number of characters. In other words, by using the game style selection keys (P) (C
) (S) ('L') When you input, for example, (C), the program timer is activated by the human power pulse of that game style and the number of characters is calculated.F>Saki<B>→<J
'＞→<J> are output in sequence at random, and the numbers to be output (the number of games to be displayed in the number ratio) are printed at the predetermined number ratio (the place to display the number of games) in the entry display area. A range of game numbers is specified for each character number, for example, <3, 4, 5, 6, 7 for <F>.

), the prescribed number is randomly set for each. This number of characters sets the output order along with the type and set number of cylinders depending on each game style.

The game number end IJ means (i) adds a random number to 1, and based on the number of games or the number of characters set (in this example, the number of characters set by adding a random number), for each game style. The number of games with the specified number of registered cylinders is entered into Renji according to predetermined conditions, but the key input means for entering the number of games is the number keys, as well as a random number among the number of games entered using the number keys. Clear key to erase all game numbers other than the Lk number or set number of characters and reset to the initial state, and input the number of games manually to any number ratio in the entry area of the display, or set the number of games to any number. The cursor key is used to locate the @ position by force, -, etc. in order to clear the number of games entered in the ratio, and the entry set key is used to finally confirm the registration of the number of games. . The game style select keys (P) (C) (S) (T) and (StjSt
Fig. 6 shows an example of the display format in the entry mode, in which the entry mode game style input is confirmed and the input mode is set to "OK". The display's entry tZ area (ENTRY:

At the same time, the entry-set person Kapalus excites the sequential circuit of the game progress organizing means (≠), and uses the chronological input order to record the pitching order when the mantissa players share the lane.1. Then, based on the stored ranking, the timing is specified for each game by a pitching ranking designating means (+) using a signal lamp or the like.

As a pitching order sound designation means, for example, when multiple players (e.g., up to 4 players) share the same lane at the same time, the pitching order sound can be specified by 6° green"(symbol; G), 4° green"(symbol; Sidanal lamps of each of four different colors are placed in each lane. When a player takes the H4 (e) stand, the signal color of the bowling board he or she is on is attached to the player's symbol signal (PLA).

From the time of inputting the 1st check (this is called the "start check") to the time of inputting the final player check (this is called the "end check") that each player performs when completing the game (game set). Depending on the number of game consoles d whose time zones overlap,
(If there is more than one player, the player is designated by the player's symbol signal.

When this pitch 111 [signal l G of the board serving as the j-place designating means (+)] starts blinking, the player (G) designated by the signal starts blinking as the player checking means (Jo) of his/her own board. check key
ck). This is pitching execution 1r'i by the user F.
This pitching order sound designation signal (#l''G) is transmitted by the game progress organizing means (Kyo) so as to be linked with the pitching order sound designation signal attached to the wall in front of the lane. The values are measured at the same time, and each player can also read the execution command signal from the signal in front of the lane.

In this way, the player's channel connection hand = (-) and the frequency counting hand plate (p), which are charged by the flashing of both the board and positive signals, are charged by the blinking of both the board and positive signals. 1 set to a state of other acceptance, both signals are lit by the player's human power to check, and the player's punishment is determined by the number of games entered by the system program of the game style and the command to execute the pitch by that signal. The player checks and pitches, and accesses and updates the game data based on the number of executions as a result of the pitch, and even if a player who is not specified by this signal presses the check key, it will not operate and the channel will be connected.

3. Detailed Description of the Invention (Object of the Invention) This invention is a bowling-like game,
The number of cartwheel pins is defined as the number of games to be played, and the number of games for each registered number specified for each game style is registered (entry) before the game, and the number of cartwheel pins as a result of pitching with each registered number as a target ( (hereinafter referred to as the "number of executions") and the number targeted in the current frame (hereinafter referred to as the "number of targets") (hereinafter referred to as "the city" or "strike"). ) (hereinafter referred to as [
It is called the appropriate number J. ) This relates to a gaming device that executes a game system in which scores are competed based on the number difference or degree (hereinafter referred to as "entry bowling").
Equipped with a game style conversion function to allow various entry bowling games to be played while sharing the same lane, and a compatibility function between game modes with different game styles. Equipped with this compatibility function, you can select and play any style of game from the various styles of traditional bowling (hereinafter referred to as "standard bowling") and entry bowling. A gaming device is disclosed.

(Structure of the Invention) In a bowling-like game, when there are multiple games with different game styles, the frame format (guturn) of each game style, pin spant (alignment) format, current judgment method, A set of cases in which each element of game format, score calculation method, and display format (hereinafter referred to as "mode element") match is defined as the "same game mode", and a set of cases where the mode elements do not match is defined as a set of different "same game modes". Assuming that when multiple sets are formed, each set has one different game mode, then the various styles of entry bowling presented here as examples are the same game mode, and are different from standard bowling. are different game modes.

However, it is extremely difficult to smoothly carry out entry bowling by sharing the conventional standard bowling facilities. In order to be able to select and implement a bowling device, it is necessary to have a bowling device with a game style conversion function attached to each lane. ) explained by ・
do.

As an example of the system configuration of the hardware of the bowling game machine disclosed herein, there is an "entry board" as an input device attached to each lane, and an "entry board" as an input device that is attached to each lane, and )'s input interface to access and display the number of targets and other real-time game data for each frame (
The system uses an "Entry & Play Board" (hereinafter referred to as "Board J"), which is a combination of the "Play Boat" (Nice Play) device, and is attached to the wall in front of each lane as a peripheral device to organize the game progress. ``Data panel'' that simplifies and publishes the real-time game data of the pitcher's signal and the pitching rank specified by the signal.
be equipped with.

The key input means (a) includes a game style selection means (f) for selecting and inputting an arbitrary style of game technique from among a plurality of different game styles, and a registration form defined for each selected game style. It is composed of a number of games entry board means for inputting the number of games played, and a player checking means (j) for testing the player as a game progress organizing system. In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 18, the types of keys on the entry board as this key input means are a game style selection key and a number key for registering and inputting the number of games (<1/2/3/415/
6/7/8/9/A10>) (A-10) and the cursor movement key for individually correcting the input number of games (
"←""→"), the key (rcLJ) that clears the input number of games to the initial state, and the entry set key ([e
ntry-set jJ) and a player check key ([checkJ). In addition, when setting a game course, a course key (rvJ rwj) is attached as means for selecting the game course.

In this case, the game style does not depend on key input.
Equipped with a card reader, this can be done using a card input method using a magnetic card or the like, and when setting a game course, the game course can be blocked at the same time as the game style and card input can be performed. In addition, the selection of a game style and a game course can be made by displaying each menu with a number on the display, instead of using dedicated keys as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 19, and inputting the displayed number using the number keys. Can be done.

The game style selection means (f) includes a storage means (b) for storing a system program according to the game style to be executed by this gaming device, and a storage means (C) for controlling the system program according to the game mode. Regarding the game style conversion means (
d), or in the case of incorporating a plurality of game modes, the game mode compatibility means (e) is used to excite the controllers for the respective input game modes and styles.

The circuit structure of this game style converting means (d) is shown in FIG.
(Key input) and Figure 3 (Card input), the same mode (hereinafter referred to as "
Mode Ku1〉”. ) is set as a "definition variable" that defines each of the single or plural game styles (four in this example), and "P" is the symbol of the definition variable.
(Style P>), “C” (Style <C>), rs
J (Style S>), and "T" (Style T>
), press the circuit select key or menu number of each gaming style channel by pressing "P", IC
”, “S” and rTJ.

That is, pressing rPJ will change the style <P> channel circuit, rCJ will change the style <C> channel circuit, pressing "S" will change the style <S> channel circuit, and pressing ITJ will change the style <T> channel circuit. In the channel circuit,
Also, the symbol 1stJ is a different fx mode (hereinafter [Mode 2
〉 ), and pressing this "St" connects exclusively to the circuits of the style <St> channels, and each channel includes the gaming mode elements of that gaming style. In addition, in the case of different game modes, variable elements of the device system are included for the different modes, and the definition access manner of the input game style is controlled.

In the case of mode 17(1) as the game style conversion means (d), there are common mode elements between a plurality of different game styles, and therefore, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the same mode The common access part is (1;R
OM) and (2; RAM), and the access part of the gaming style as the non-common part is "#P", r#
4: Create a circuit for the game style conversion mechanism by configuring channels for CJ, "#S", Fu・Yo and "・#T" separately.

In addition, as a game mode compatible means (e), as shown in FIG. 5 (corresponding to FIGS. 2 and 3), mode 1> and mode
≧, create a circuit of a game mode compatibility mechanism for a plurality of different game modes, and use the compatibility mechanism to create a circuit for rPJ, rcj, rsJ, ITJ in mode <1> and "St" in mode 2>, respectively. An arbitrary style of game in different game modes is selected by connecting the game modes with an exclusive OR gate rMJ.

The check key as a player check means (j) is
By matching this gaming style selection input (f),
The channel is set according to the game style selected by the player, and the channel for the player is preset when the pitching order is designated by the pitching order designation signal from then on until the game is set. Further, the player checking means (j) calculates the number of frames and the number of pitches per frame by 1/1 according to the frequency of the check. For example, when setting a round division, the round division is input in conjunction with the frame count. Furthermore, when multiple players share the same lane at the same time, a game progress organizing means (k )
The pitching order (person) from the game progress organization
This is used as an input means for a pitching execution signal when designated by the designation signal (1).

In the standard bowling frame format, the number of pitches per frame is two, except in the case of a strike, but only in the final 10th frame, in the case of a strike or a spare, the ball can be pitched up to three times. In the frame format of entry bowling, the number of pitches per frame is limited to one, but if the pin does not fall at all due to a gutter, etc., a limit (e.g. 3) will be set to include the first pitch. , or pitch the ball indefinitely until it collapses.The frame patterns are different in the game style of Sukunda bowling and the game style of entry bowling, but in both modes, each section of each game process is The frequency of player check-in is controlled so that it is valid only once, the number of frames and the number of pitches are outputted by an up counter, and the remaining number of frames is outputted via a down counter.

The game number entry means (i) is a game number registration mechanism that characterizes the entry bowling game machine, and although the game number entry format differs depending on the conditions stipulated or defined for each game style, it is generally Specifically, random number adding means (g) randomly sets and registers all or part of the number of games out of a prescribed number of registrations, and games in which specific roles or restrictions are assigned to each of the prescribed number of registrations. character number setting means (h) for inputting the number of games to be played, including the number of characters (hereinafter referred to as the "number of characters") or set separately from the prescribed number of registered characters, and according to the set number of characters; It is constituted by a game number setting key (a) for inputting the game number arbitrarily on the premise of the character number automatically outputted by the random number adding means and the character number setting means.

An embodiment of the circuit mechanism for one format of game number entry including random number addition and character number setting is shown in FIG. Process control of the number of game numbers randomly set for each registered number, the range of the game number, the output timing, the display format of the display device, and the display position (locate) of each game number in the entry display area. In addition, the number of characters is the type of number of characters for each game style, the content of the character, and the prescribed number for each type. In this example, the number of characters is set by adding a random number. This shows a case where the number of games is entered based on the set number of characters.

In other words, rPJ, rcJ,
For example, when inputting [C-1] among rsJ and rTJ, the program timer is activated by the input pulse of that game style, and the character number rFJ (first number) is input.
→ rJJ (joke number) → rBJ (Bo + Sunan Ha) The colors are output in random order, and the numbers to be output are printed in the predetermined number positions (grays that display the number of games) in the entry display area. The range of the number of games is specified for each character number, for example, 3 for rFJ.
．． 4.5.6.7.8>, and for IBJ <2.
3.4.5.6.7.8.9,〉, and for rJJ, if the specified number is one, then set 2.3.4.5〉, and if there are two, then those two Close your eyes 6.7.8.9〉,
In the case of 3 pieces, set the mode as 4.5.6.7> and select the data selector that sets the specified range of the number of games to be output according to the number of each character number. Or a ring counter and random number addition mechanism timer (
tl, t2, . . . tn), the prescribed numbers are randomly set. The number of these characters is sorted according to each game style, as well as the type and set number, and the order of output.

The number of games entry area means inputs the number of registered games prescribed for each game style based on the number of games set with a random number or the number of characters set (in this embodiment, the number of characters set with a random number added). is input arbitrarily according to predetermined conditions, but in addition to the number keys, the key input means for entering the number of games are the number keys, and other than the character number set by adding a random number among the game numbers entered with the number keys. Clear key rCLJ to clear all the number of games and reset to the initial state, enter the number of games in any number of seats in the entry area of the display, and clear the number of games entered in any number of seats individually. An entry set that uses the cursor movement keys ([←] and "→") to specify (locate) the number position with a cursor, etc., and finally input the registration confirmation of the number of games! J(setj).

The game style select, which is the input means for this game machine,
Keys rPJ, rcJ, rsJ, ITJ and rst (
Standard) j and the final input of each game style. [The arrangement of the OKJ key and the embodiment (example) of the display display format according to the end IJ mode as the display means (X) are shown in Fig. 18 or Fig. 19. The display's entry display area [ENTRYJ has 10 numbers (el, e2, ... elo) to print the number of games played, and on the right side, set them separately from the specified registered number. A number seat is provided to print the real number of the character number rBJ, and furthermore, a three-digit number seat is set to the right of the number place to print the prescribed registered number according to the game style.

The number position that displays this registered number is [FRONTJ and “~R
The reason why there are two EARJs is that this entry mode is "Front Round J (II~1.

Frame, symbol; FRONT) and “Rear Round”
(11th frame to 15th frame, symbol: REAR) consists of 2 rounds', i.e., the front round as the "first stage", and the front round as the "all stages" from front round 1-' to the rear round. It is based on a two-stage system of All Round (1st to 15th frame, symbol: ~REAR), and at the same time as the selection input of each game style, the number of registered pieces specified for that game style is printed for each round stage. Also, in the number seat that displays the number of games, the leftmost number seat (el) is displayed for a certain period of time (e.g. 20 seconds).
ec) Blink the character number symbol rFJ, and then print the real number <f> of 1F, which is randomly set. This "F" is set as a character number that is "registered as the first ranking target number at the beginning of the number of games to be registered, and cannot be moved to other target numbers unless the first number is hit." However, in the rear rounds, this mandatory restriction will be lifted and the number of registrations will be normal.

Also, at the same time as <f> is output, the symbol rJJ is blinked for a certain period of time at the numeral position of "J", and then the real number <j> of rJJ, which is randomly set, is printed. This rJJ is the number of games commonly included in each style, usually around 2, and its function is that it is a number that "unconditionally disqualifies the game if you do not hit all the specified number by the last frame". Set,
In this embodiment, the number position of °rJJ is printed at the leftmost position (e2, e3) when rFJ exists, and <j> is printed at the leftmost position (el, e2) when there is no rFJ.

At the same time as this <j> is output, the symbol "B" is blinked for a certain period of time in the number position of rBJ, and then the real number <b> of rBJ, which is randomly set, is printed. This rBJ is a character number that is "set separately from the specified number of registrations, and replaces <b> with one of the number of runs in the rear round so that the score is most advantageous after the completion of the last frame." The function is set as , and in this embodiment, it is printed on the number position of rBJ on the right side.

As in this example, when the number of characters is automatically set to the gold side for each game style, the operating procedure is specified for each key on the key board as the number of games entry (j) at the same time as the setting is output. Attach a key lamp that is relevant to the game, turn on the key lamp (or LED) by setting the number keys related to the game to the input acceptance state, and turn the number keys not related to the game to the input inhibit state. to turn off the key lamp. Furthermore, if a "same number of games that can be registered" is specified, a warning is given by blinking the key lamp etc. of the number of games that have reached the borderline.

Regarding the number of entries for the number of games "N" other than this number of characters, the locate program for each game style lights up or flashes (i (or specified in the guide area of the display, the same applies hereinafter) by pressing any number key from the number of games being played.

In this case, the arrangement of the number keys is for single numbers from <1> to <A> (A=10), which do not require carry except in certain gaming styles characterized by arithmetic operations, and <0>. In this game style, the number keys that are lit or blinking are printed on the number positions specified by the cursor without using calculation means, but the total number of pins to be knocked down in a specified frame is determined and registered. In the case of style <T>, the calculation program according to the game mode is accessed and printed through the built-in calculation means. The number of registrations for this style <T> can be entered arbitrarily within the specified range of 2 to 3 digits, but in this case the number key is <0
A number from ＞ to 9〉, and <A> is prohibited from operation. In this example, <A> and <0> depending on the game style.
Use the same key differently.

When the entry of the number of games is completed, the data is latched into the working RAM of the entry setter memorization means (r) using the determined manual power, and at the same time, the sequential circuit of the game progress organizing means (k) is excited by the entry cent,
Based on the chronological input order, the pitching order when multiple players share the same lane is memorized, and the pitching order designation means (1) using a signal lamp or the like uses the memorized order to specify the timing for each game. do.

As a means of specifying the pitching order, for example, when the same lane is shared by a plurality of players (for example, up to four players) at the same time, each player can select one of the four different colors of green, yellow, red, and white. A signal lamp of one color is attached to each of the four key boards placed in each lane, and when each player lands on one blank, the signal color of the board he or she landed on is changed to that player's Symbol signal (PL
AYER SIGNAL (symbol; #) indicates that the time period from when the player inputs the first check (start check) to declare the start of work () to when the last check (end check) is input when the player completes the game overlaps. Depending on the number of players that meet, each player's pitcher's signal (symbol; #1)
) When the signal (#1) of each hoard as the pitching order designation means (1) starts blinking, the players designated by that signal each check the player check means (j) of their respective boards. check key [checkJ
Press. This is a visual transmission of a signal for the command to execute a pitch, and the pitching order designation signal on this board is a pitching order designation signal (symbol;
#2) is simultaneously controlled by the game progress organizing means (k), and can be read by the players, others, and spectators by the signal (#2) in front of the lane. Further, the check key is controlled so that it does not operate even if a player who is not specified by the signal (-14-1, #2) presses the check key.

Exclusive acceptance of the human signal by the player's check key, identified by the blinking of both the signals on the board and the front of the lane, in this way allows that player's channel connection means (
When connected to the channel φ preset circuit mechanism as φm), the gaming style setting means (n) controls access to each frame by the system program of the respective selected gaming style, and the gaming mode setting means (0 ) controls the mode element (variable element in the apparatus body), and the frequency counting means (p) sets and outputs the counting method for the number of frames and the number of pitches.

The main game data of the current frame launched into the storage circuit as the game data storage means (r) is transferred and copied to the data panel in front of the lane by the preset of this channel, and the number of executions is detected and stored for a certain period of time (e.g. ;30se
c) At the same time as the signal (#L #2) turns off after the elapsed time,
Clear that panel's take as well.

An example of the implementation of the display format according to the ends IJ-, IB-1 of this gaming device is shown in FIG. 18 (no game course division) 1. It is as shown in Figure 19 (with game course classification), namely, the round division, the number of remaining frames (symbol: R), the number of targets, the number of executions, the number of pieces in the city, the number of remaining pieces of character number "J", and its character. After passing the test (hereinafter referred to as "J check") to determine whether or not all the pieces of "Number 1 - J" have been hit, the remaining number obtained by subtracting the number of pieces in this city from the number of registered pieces stipulated for each game style (hereinafter referred to as "Magic number” or “magic”
That's what it means. Symbol; Z), each real-time game data with the score defined and calculated by that magic number,
'Print on each predetermined display area of the board as display means (X).

This entry motor's front round and front)
It will be carried out in two stages: all-round from round to rear round, and the number of registrations will be stipulated for each round stage, and the number of registrations in this city will include all the number rJJ of the front and the number of registrations. If it is reached in the first round, it is called [Front Up] (symbol: Fr-UP), and if it is reached in the rear round, it is called "Rear Amp" (symbol: Rr-UP). As long as the number of cities reaches the registered number of each frame, the game will go up by 1.
(UP). However, in the case of style <T>, the game is up when the number of pieces in the city reaches the specified number of registered pieces after completing all the prescribed frames for each round stage.

The number of registrations for each round stage for each game style can be determined at the same time as the input of the selected game style.
“FRONTJ” and “~REARJ” in the ENTRYJ area
Print on each number position separately, and turn on the [FRONTJ] lamp in the round stage division display area (Figure 18: top left).

First, the initial value of the number of remaining frames for the front round (10) is printed, and then the player specified by the pitching order designation signal [#-1] [c. h e c k Press the J key to pitch and output the number of executions (1-) - step by the number of times -1

Access is performed by the definition method processing means (U) based on the output of 0).

The output format of the number of targets has characteristics depending on the definition specifications of each game style, and the initial value is set to the first frame (R = 10) by the program set by the game style and mode setting means (n, 0). , and access and output each frame below.
In this case, l-ch as player checking means (j)
The frequency counting means (p) using the eckJ key outputs the frenime number counting means (q), and the game data storage means (r) that stores the remaining number among the registered numbers without winning the market. The number of targets in the frame is output (S), and each target number display area “TA
The locate style is set for the five number positions of RGETJ, and each is printed according to the prescribed number of outputs.

In this way, our city determination means (u) serves as a mechanism (Figure 7) to control the access method for the number of targets prescribed for each game style and determine whether the number of targets and the number of executions match (strike). There is an access mechanism that performs definition processing in the case of a strike (hereinafter referred to as [strike cycle]), and an access mechanism that performs definition processing when the number of targets does not match the number of executions (out) (hereinafter referred to as "out cycle"). ) and an access mechanism (hereinafter referred to as "foul cycle") that performs definition processing in the case where the pin does not fall down at all due to the gutter etc. (hereinafter referred to as "foul cycle").

Of these, the foul cycle also includes
Press the "key" and pitch until the pin falls (outputs the number of executions), but if you limit the number of pitches in the event of a foul, within that limit, only the number of pitches will change, but the number of frames will not change. However, when the number of executions exceeds the limit, the number of executions is recorded as 0〉 (hereinafter referred to as a "nonsense number") and the process moves to the next frame. In this example, the limit number of pitches is set to 3, and the number of fouls is counted each time the initial value is 3〉, and the number of frames and the number of remaining frames are updated by the output of the callan l-<0>. do.

Fig. 8 is an example of the basic format of the entry bowling game format, and Fig. 9 shows how the round classification is set according to this basic format, and the play bank is used to determine the rear round and the "front" of the play bank. (symbol; v) and the score after play hack (symbol; W) (symbol; 5C
This is an implementation of a general game format that has a mechanism that compares the scores (ORE) and adopts the score of the more advantageous one, and includes a game format that omits such a play bank (V course) and a game that does not omit play no cook. This shows an overview of the mechanism of the format (W course), and if the game course is to be selective, input the rVJi or rWJ game course in advance and register the number of games.

10 to 17 illustrate embodiments of the access procedure according to the basic format (corresponding to FIG. 8) for each game style of the entry mode performed by this gaming device. That is, the entry set diagrams for each game style (Style <P>), Figure 12 (Style <C>), Figure 14 (Style S), and Figure 16 (Style T) are as follows. In addition, the implementation steps leading to the entry set ND for each game style are shown in Figure 11 (Style <P>), Figure 13 (Style C), and Figure 15 (Style <S>).
) and Fig. 17 (style <T>).

When you press the [chechJ key (check) on the board, a player code is set using the address attached to the board (code setting). When each game style is confirmed and input, the process control circuit corresponding to the input game mode and style is activated, and the display format according to the input game style is defined and set, and the number of registered pieces, the number of pieces in the city, the magic number, and the score are set. The initial value is set for each numerical ratio of the remaining number of frames and is output and displayed. In addition, in the case of a game mode that stipulates round divisions, the display format is output and the number of registered pieces (fr) of each front round is displayed in the ENTRYJ display area. The number (ar> is printed in the number ratio of r to REARJ, and the number ratio of the remaining number of frames in the front round [FR
For AMEJ, set its initial value (RIO> to the number ratio of the city's number [<0> for sTRIKEJ, and for MAGIcJ to the number of joke numbers rJl specified for each game style) Accordingly, Zono “J”
Will it come with one? 〉Blint one item, score number ratio ``S
"CORE" is set to <0> as the initial value (gaming mode and style setting; (0)).

After printing the initial value for each predetermined number ratio in this way, the next step is to randomly output the number of characters specified for the game style in a certain order and print them on the predetermined number positions (character number setting), and Set the definition shift of the number keys for registering the number of games according to the game style to the initial state. At the same time, by the definition shift (shift l-<N>) for registering the number of games other than the character number, a lamp or LED, etc. (hereinafter referred to as "lamp, etc.") is turned on for each number key in the input acceptance state. However, especially in the case of a game style that stipulates the number rkJ of the same number of pieces that can be registered, a lamp or the like will be flashed to warn that the number keys have reached the specified number by flashing.

To register the number of games (N) other than the number of characters, input by using the number keys whose lamps are lit or blinking at the number position specified by the cursor. The cursor will automatically move to the next number position (locate/next) at the same time as the number of stations is displayed. If you wish to correct the number of stations you have entered, use the cursor keys to move the cursor to the number position and Correct input using lit or flashing numeric keys (Entry)
.

In this way, you can input and display arbitrarily in the predetermined number positions using the number keys, and when the number of input items including the number of characters reaches the specified number of registered items, the (set?) lamp prompting entry cents will start blinking. At this time, if you want to correct all registered numbers except character numbers, reset them to the initial state using the clear key l'-CLJ, and if you want to correct individual numbers, operate the cursor keys and re-enter them. Do (okay). Then, when the number of stations is input and displayed in the total number ratio, l”entry-
set jJ Kiki lamp blinks. If you like this [
entry-set jJ key (When set, the seven 1. l key lamps will light up, and at the same time, the shift l-(N) lamp etc. will go out. It will not be possible to change the registered contents after this.) Set.

Access the target number of this entry set frame and print it on the number position of l-TARGETJ, and set! The pitching order among a plurality of players is set for each lane according to the chronological order of The player presses the check key "CheCk" to connect the channel (pricent), but at this time, even if a player whose board signal (#) is not flashing presses the check key, the channel will not be connected. Prohibit input like this.

When the channel is connected in this way, data such as the number of targets for each frame will be transferred and copied to the data panel in front of the lane, along with the game style selected by the player, the number of remaining frames <R=>, and the number of registrations set. . At this time, if there is a round division, l'-FRON
TJ [~REARj, initially [FRONTJ lamp is lit.

When the number of executions as a result of the pitch is output via the sensor that detects the number of cartwheel pins, the remaining number of frames is updated (R update; step 7 <-i>), and the number of executions matches the number of targets. As a result, in the case of this city (y), a strike is displayed and the correct number is output (callan l-<41>, but in the case of style <T>) Hakuko execution number), print that data to the number of [STRIKEJ], and then [J
Check J (J?) by Joke Nano)<
- If it is (J?;y), the number <j> of the rJJ that was selected will be deleted from the display screen of [ENTRYJ, and at the same time, it will be printed in the number position of [MAGICJ? 〉
Delete one.

The presence or absence of the remaining number of joke numbers after the <j> deletion (
If you hit all the joke numbers correctly and the remaining number becomes Cero (J remaining - 0?; y), the last number? > is deleted, and at the same time, the magic number "Z" (Magic <2> - registered number x X - appropriate number <Y>) is output to the number position of MAGICJ. Also, depending on whether the magic number has reached guO〉, if the magic number is rPJ, rcJ, "S", the magic number is zero.
(When R remaining = (+?; n or y, Z = 0?; y), the game is up for that frame only.
In addition, in the case of ITJ, when the number of remaining frames is zero and the magic is zero (R remaining = 07; y, Z = 0?; y),
"Game Amplifier".

Regardless of whether the city's decision is a strike or an out, if there are still frames remaining and the magic does not reach zero (R=O?;n, Z20?;n), move to the next frame and [ Loop to wait jJ (wait).

When the number of frames remaining reaches zero, a joke number remains (R=o':/; y, J remaining -〇?;n
), you will be disqualified (Game Town), but your joke number will appear (R2 o?; y, J remaining -0?; y)
If so, perform the predefined processing using the magic number and output it to [5COREJ and print the number of runs. At this time, if a round classification is set, the number of remaining frames is zero (R=0?:y), and the front round is unconditionally shifted to the rear round, and the round area [~RE A Rj The lamp also lights up, and the remaining frame of the rear round i 1RJ (example: R=5
), prints the frame number ratio "F, the initial value of the number of stations rRJ <5> in RAME J, outputs the number of all-round registrations, and updates the number of stations of MAGICJ according to the number of registrations. (Add the difference between the number of registrations for all-round and front-round to the default value).

Even in this rear round, if the magic number becomes 0〉, it is considered ``game up'', and regardless of whether the city judgment is strike (y) - t or ala I (n), this magic is 〈 0>(z=o?;n), and the number of remaining frames is not zero (R=Q'i';n)
If the elements match, move to the next frame,
When the remaining number of frames reaches zero (R-0?;y), if the magic number has not appeared (J remaining = o?;n), you will be disqualified (game down), but if the magic number has not appeared. (J remaining - 0?; Y), the bonus is adjusted to determine the magic number, the defined process is performed, and the score is output.

At this time, if the magic becomes zero as a result of bonus adjustment (Z = O?; y), it will be treated as [game amplifier], and if all "V courses" are selected, it will be treated as "game end". However, I had selected the "W course" and the magic did not become zero (R=0?: y, Z=Q7
;n), the data before the playback (redoing the game) is memorized and the playback is performed unconditionally, the number of executions of the front round is re-centered, and at the same time the number of remaining frames is , playback is performed after setting the magic number and score data to the initial state of the rear round.

If the magic becomes a cello in Brava 7, it is considered "game up", and regardless of whether the city's judgment is a strike or an out, the magic is not a cello and the number of frames remaining is not zero (R = 0? ;n, Z-0? ;n)
In this case, the next frame is accessed by a similar process, the scores before and after the playbank are compared, and the more advantageous score is adopted.

The content of the predefined processing when the number of frames remaining in the rear round becomes zero is the processing of the nonsense number when recording a nonsense number when limiting the number of pitches during a foul. Yes, and in this embodiment, when a nonsense number is included in the front row I, the magic number is output (counted) as +1 for each nonsense number according to the number of nonsense numbers.
do. Also, if you record a nonsense number in the rear round, it will be called "Game Town", and if you have selected "W course" and record a nonsense number in the rear round before the playback, or after the last frame has finished. When you leave a joke number (R=O?;y
, J Zan-o? +n) clears the data of the rear round before the playback, returns to the initial state after the playback, and restarts.

In this way, mode 1> is accessed by a system program that is common to each gaming style, but in addition to this, each gaming style forms a unique flow for the registered number access method and the target number access method. . In other words: Figure 10 shows the procedure for registering the number of characters in the case of style <p>. When "P" is selected and input, the display format of that rPJ is set and the number of characters is changed to <j> → <j> → Randomly output in the order of <b>, and shift <p> to select the same number (k) that can be registered within 2 of the numbers from 1> to A> (A-10), including 2 joke numbers. (k=2)
A program for setting the permutation of the number of games and its initial state are set and stored.

At the same time as this shift+-<p> is set, the lamp of the number key is lit, but in this initial state, only the joke numbers <jl> and kkuj2> are registered numbers, and there are no equal numbers, so <1 Light up the lamps for all keys from > to <A>. Also, by permutation, <jl> is entered into the numerical ratio of "el" in the display area "E N T RY J,"
In addition to printing the numerical ratio of "e2", from "e3" to (e10>), specify and control the numerical ratios sequentially from "e3" to (e10>), and then print the specified number by blinking the cursor under this control. Key in the number of games in the ratio.

In this case, when the number of the same number of items input reaches 2 (k = 2), the key lamp of the number that reached 2 will blink,
Further, when the number of the same number reaches three (k=3), the input of the number reaching three is prohibited and the key lamp of that number is turned off. In this case, the same number of three keys cannot be entered, and therefore, by pressing another number key, the input prohibition state for the number of pressed three keys is canceled, and the key lamp corresponding to the released number resumes blinking.

In this way, the number of games is registered and displayed, and at the same time the cursor is automatically moved to the next ratio (locate; next).
and then flash. If the tatami room is to be corrected at this time, the cursor is moved to the number ratio to be corrected using the cursor keys, and the tatami room is corrected and input using the number keys whose lamps are lit or flashing. In addition, when correcting all numbers except the character number, reset to the initial state by using clear key CLJ.

When the tatami room is input and displayed in the total number ratio of rENTRYJ in the entry display area, the entry set key "entry
-set The jJ lamp blinks to prompt you to confirm the number of registrations. If you like, press the 7th key and [entry-s
et jJ's key lamp lights up, and at the same time, Schiff l
- The <P> key lamp goes out.

Figure 11 shows an entry set of this style <P>. In this case, the number of targets is determined by the order and is always 3 according to the number registered, and one of the three is always 3 in our city. When this happens, the number of the current city is deleted and the order of the permutation is increased by one and added to make three, and the same control is performed thereafter.

Bonus adjustment ends at the last frame (R:0?;y)
Afterwards, the magic is <i> or more (Z=O? ;n, z>1
), the bonus number <b> is output and the <

FIG. 12 is a flowchart 1 showing the procedure for registering the number of games for style <c>. In this case, the flow is almost the same as that of style <P>, but there is no permutation control. However, the first number “F” is included in the character number, and in this first number
Only one permutation is forced as the number of rank targets. The number of characters is the number ratio of the entry display area rENTRYJ
Print <f> on lJ, <jl> on re2J, and print j2> on "e3".

Figure 13 shows an entry set for this style <C>.First, the initial value of the number of targets is the real number <f> of the first number, and the number of remaining frames rRJ is updated by repeating pitching until it hits this <f>. do. If this first number is entered, the number of targets in the next frame - is the remaining target security deposit side, and the number of targets entered in each case is erased.

Bonus adjustment is the same as in the case of style <P>.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart 1 showing the procedure for registering the number of games for style <S>. In this case, the character numbers are 2 joke numbers "J" and 2 sequence numbers "$".
Therefore, the entry display area [
Four numbers are used for ENTRYJ, and the other extra numbers (e5 to e10) are deleted. One of these sequence numbers is the same number as the bonus number <b>, but the other one is a number within the specified range (e.g. 4 to 7) and can be entered arbitrarily using the number keys. do.

Two joke numbers out of the four registered numbers are randomly set, but control is performed so that the same number does not occur. In other words, <jl> is printed for the number of rooms "e1", "j2" is printed for "C2", and re3JE<b> is printed, but at this time, the shift system is changed so that "b>" is not the same number as "jl" and "j2>". , the sequence number <$> arbitrarily selected by the player is outputted at random within the specified range, and input is prohibited for numbers outside the specified range and the key lamp is turned off.

When you enter <$> using a number key whose key lamp is lit, the lamp of the input key will flash, and at the same time, the lamp of the "entry-'set!" key will flash, allowing you to confirm the number of entries. encourage. At this time, the correction of $> is made by pressing the number key whose lamp is lit again. If you like, press l'-entry-set jJ.

Figure 15 shows the entry set I for this style <S>.
Flowchart 1 shows the subsequent access process, and the initial values of the number of targets are 2 joke numbers and 2 sequence numbers. Of these, the joke number is deleted by the city, but the sequence number is Even in this city, it will not be erased and will continue to be connected as a target number until the last frame.

In the case of style <S>, the number of city pieces <S> differs depending on whether the number of city pieces is consecutive (number of sequences?) and whether it is a joke number or a sequence number (J or $?). That is, the calculation is performed using the following formula, where the number of correct sequences is <n> and the number of joke numbers included in the appropriate sequences is <k>.

5=nC2+k In other words, if the sequence number is consecutively matched but no consecutive number is established (n$), the number of consecutive matches is <0>, and if the sequence number is consecutively matched (y$), the number of matches is <0>. The number of cities is nC2〉. In addition, if the joke number does not hold a sequence in this city (nJ), the city's number is <1>, and if the sequence including the joke number holds (y
The number of J) in this city is <n CZ 10k>. The number of items in the city calculated in this way is added up and the resulting count ΣS> is output.

The bonus adjustment is to replace the bonus number ゛〉 with one of the number of runs in the rear round as <$> so that the total number of cities including the number of cities in the all-round becomes the maximum value. do.

FIG. 16 is a flowchart 1 showing the manual procedure of en-I-IJ of style <T>. The total number of pins knocked down in a specified frame is the registered number, and the first display format is

(Effects of the Invention) A game style conversion function that allows you to select and play any style of game from a plurality of different game styles, and a game mode between the different game modes. With this bowling game device that has compatible functions, you can choose from a variety of entry mode styles, and you can play both entry mode and standard mode games by sharing the same lane. Without this device, it is not possible to share the same lane and smoothly play different styles of games. Furthermore, by standardizing the base of the process control circuit of each channel of the gaming style to be incorporated into this gaming machine, including its relay part, the circuit board of any channel can be installed without discarding or modifying the main body of this gaming machine. (storage medium) and
Or it can be replaced, saving resources and being economical.

This gaming device has a game number entry mode mechanism that adds random numbers, eliminating the need to arbitrarily assemble the game security deposit side in advance to participate in the game, and by adding random numbers fairly, you can enter arbitrarily according to the given conditions. By expanding the range of combinations of the number of games to be played and further setting the number of characters, it is possible to add variety to the game content.

In particular, in order to adjust the unbalance of the technical difficulty level between different game styles in the same entry mode, the total number of frames is unified, and the number of registered pieces and the number of characters are adjusted for each frame to approximate it. can be done.

Above all, compared to conventional bow links where you compete for points based on the destructive power of ``killing as many cavities as possible'', this bow link has both aspects of ``how to defeat'' and ``how to leave behind'' and is ``fun to think about''. Entry bowling, which is a new game principle with "suspense", allows the creation of 71's of various game modes and styles, and is effective in developing new demand in the equipment industry and service industry related to this bowling. can be expected.

(2) r from page 5, line 1 to page 6, line 16 of the specification
(Object of the invention) This invention is a game mode. ``(Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a polling game device, and particularly to a polling game device that can be used not only for conventional normal polling games but also for new polling games.

(Prior art) Conventionally, in polling games, the game usually consists of 10 frames, and except for strikes, two pitches are dropped in each frame, and only in the final 1st O frame, either a strike or a spare ball is thrown. In this case, the player would play the ball three times (hereinafter, a polling game using this method will be referred to as "standard bowling").

By the way, as a bowling game method other than this standard bowling, there are 10 bowls lined up at the far end of the lane.
A predetermined number of pins in the book (for example, in the first frame, the number of pins is 3°5.7, and in the second frame, the number of pins is 2 or 3.8. ) is defeated with one pitch, and this pitch is repeated, for example, 15 times, and the player competes for points based on the number of frames in which they knock down a predetermined number of pins (hereinafter, polling games using this method are referred to as "Entry"). ``Bowling'' was invented.

(Problems with the prior art) However, since the standard bowling and entry bowling described above have very different game methods, it is not possible to select and use any of the two game methods on the same lane. Ta.

(Objective of the Invention) An object of the present invention is to provide a bowling game device that can share the same lane and easily select and use any game method between standard bowling and entry bowling. Summary of the Invention) This invention is a bowling-like game, in which the number of pins toppled is used as the number of games, and the number of games is registered (entry) for each registration number specified for each game style before the game, and each registration is The number of fallen pins (
Hereinafter, this is referred to as the "number of executions." ) and the number of targets in the current frame (hereinafter referred to as "target number") match (hereinafter referred to as "target number").
It is called ``dōmae'' or ``r strike''. ) number (hereinafter referred to as “
It is called the "dual number". ) (hereinafter referred to as "the city's number").

) This is a gaming device that executes a game system (hereinafter referred to as "entry bowling") in which points are competed for based on the number difference or degree with respect to the bowling bowl. Equipped with a game style conversion function that allows various types of entry bowling games to be performed while sharing the same lane, and also allows for the conversion of game modes between different game styles. Equipped with a compatible function, this compatible function enables conventional bowling (hereinafter referred to as "standard bowling").

) and entry bowling, the present invention discloses a gaming device for selecting and playing an arbitrary style of game from various styles of games such as entry bowling and entry bowling.

When there are multiple games with different playing styles in a game like bowling, the frame format (pattern) of each game style, pin pad (arrangement) format, city judgment method, game format, score calculation method A set where each element of the display format (hereinafter referred to as "mode element") matches is defined as the "same game mode", and when the mode elements do not match, multiple different sets of "same game mode" are formed. If we say that the intervals between each set are "different game modes," then the various styles of entry bowling presented here as examples are the same game mode, and the game modes that are different from standard bowling. It is.

(Example) Next, before a detailed explanation of the present invention, an entry bowling game method will be explained in detail.

When playing bowling, out of the 10 pins lined up at the far end of the pitch, for example, to knock down only 5 pins with a single pitch, you need to know how to knock them down.
There are two sides to this question: ``How do we preserve it?'' The number of cartwheel pins is defined as the "number of games", and the number of permutations is decided in advance before the game (permutation method), or combinations are made (combination method), or the total number of pins to be knocked down in a specified frame is determined. (Total counting method) In "Entry Bowling", players register before each game and compete for points based on whether or not they are able to perform as registered.

This is a new game principle that is different from traditional bowling (hereinafter referred to as ``standard bowling''), where players compete for points by using their destructive power to knock down as many pins as possible. Therefore, there is a big difference in the rules of the game (game rules) between entry bowling and standard bowling.

In standard bowling, one game consists of 10 frames, and players can pitch up to two times in each frame, except in the case of strikes, and up to three times in the final 10th frame, in the case of strikes or spares. can. This is the standard bowling frame pattern.

On the other hand, in entry bowling, a game usually consists of 15 frames, and the number of pitches per frame is limited to one. However, if the pin does not fall at all due to a gutter, etc., it is considered a ``foul'' (no count) and the player must continue throwing until it falls, or there is a limit on the number of times the pin can be thrown. For example, if the limit number of times is 3, the pin will continue to be thrown only 3 times, including the first time, until the pin falls, and the frame will not move as a result. If it does not fall after three throws, it will be recorded as [01] in that frame, and this is called a [nonsense number], but [0] may be the number to be registered.
In standard bowling, the goal is to knock down all the pins with the first pitch of the frame, but in entry bowling, the number (
This is called the "target number" or "target." )of,
It means to guess the exact number. In the case of standard bowling, the number of targets (this should be called the rth number of targets) is a constant [A] [A = 101, whereas
The number of targets in this entry bowling is a "variable".

Now, in entry bowling, the number of frames is [15
], but from the 1st frame to the 10th frame (this is called the "front round") and from the 11th frame to the 15th frame (this is called the "rear round").
”. ), that is, it consists of a front round and an analog round, and a predetermined frame is arranged in each round.

Furthermore, there is a mechanism called "playback".

This is about "redoing" the game, part 15.
Rather than restarting the entire frame from the beginning, we leave the entries exactly as they are, and reset the number of pitches (this is called the "execution number") as a result of pitching in each frame of the front round. Redo only the rear and rounds. The results of the game before and after playback are then compared, and the score that is more effective is adopted.

Whether or not to perform this playback is left to each player's choice, but as a game, it is better to unify the playback at the beginning as much as possible. In other words, when performing playback, use [W course] (playback course)
, or when not performing playback [V course]
(straight course). As will be explained later, there are differences in the scoring methods for the [V course] and [W course], so it is better to select a course based on these factors and use them accordingly.

What is described here is the basic playing style of entry bowling, but entry bowling also defines various games with different playing styles.
can be created.

A set of cases in which each element of the frame format (pattern), pin arrangement (spud) format, score calculation method, and display format of each style match is called the "same mode." For example, the number of pins arranged in front of the lane is usually 10 and arranged in an equilateral triangle, but the number of pins arranged does not need to be fixed at 10, and each pin is arranged according to the game style. You can use 9 trees or 7 trees depending on your style, and you can choose the best arrangement according to your playing style. In addition, cases where the scoring method, the method of setting round divisions as a frame format, the presence or absence of a limit on the number of pitches in the case of a foul, etc. are the same as the "same mode".

By the way, number entry (registration of number of games) is this process,
This is a procedure that is characteristic of entry number bowling, but the entry number (number of registered games) is a number that has a specific role or restriction, such as the ``pieces'' in shogi or chess (this is called a ``character''). ) appears.

These character numbers are usually randomly assigned,
Each player will make an entry including the specified and set number of characters, or in relation to the number of characters. The number of characters may be set in common to all game styles in the same mode, or set only to a specific game style. First, we will introduce the number of characters that are commonly set in the same mode.

Joke number (symbol: J, actual number: j) This is a necessary condition, and what number are the two randomly specified numbers? Be sure to include them in the registered number specified for each game style. You must register, and if you do not leave this number by the final frame, the city will
This is the number of throws that would result in a disqualification. The number is as follows depending on the number of Jl.

[If Jl is 1 (11... one of [2, 3, 4, 5] [If Jl is 2... the second one is [6, 7, 8, 9] One of them [If Jl is 3...The third one is one of [4, 5, 6, 7] Bonus number (symbol: B, real number: b) This is the specified registration By registering one item separately from the number of items,
After the last frame ends, use this when you can get a more advantageous score by replacing one of the execution numbers of the rear round with this number as the current number or execution number (this is called "bonus adjustment"). ), and it is a ``repeat'' that sometimes brings unexpected luck. The numbers are as follows, and adjustment methods are defined for each game style.

Number of [B-]...[2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
] The method of adjusting the one-jo bonus is stipulated for each game style, but in any case
] and cannot be adjusted with nonsense numbers.

Basic format of the game method The basic format of the game method for entry bowling will be outlined. For each game style, the ``number to be registered,'' ``number of targets,'' and ``bonus adjustment method,'' as well as ``the number of characters to be set only for that game style,'' are determined as follows.

10 permutation method (Pera+tation 5style,
Symbol; P) First is the "permutation method". This is “style;
It is also called ``P'' and its symbol is represented by [P], and it is a game style in which a specified number of registered pieces is registered by specifying the permutation and target number, and the player competes for points based on whether or not they are able to execute according to the registered number. be. The number of registrations for this style [P] is [8] for front round and [1 for all round.
0] and a randomly specified joke number [
J] is [2].

Let's assume that there are 10 wooden pins arranged in an equilateral triangle in front of the lane and you try to pitch them 10 times and knock them down one after another. Let's assume that the contestants don't force themselves and throw at their own pace, and if it's a gutter, they throw until they fall, and the number of executions is as follows: 10.

+5181316191AI717181AI This number of cartwheel pins [A] is [10]. With these 10 numbers as the registered number, let's throw the pole again and try to find the city according to this permutation. However, although it would be extremely difficult to recreate this, since it is an array of numbers that the contestants created themselves, there should certainly be a chance of defeating it.

Now, the numbers that appear in Style [P] are 10 from [1] to [A], including 2 joke numbers (usually based on the number of all-round registrations), and the same number of items that can be registered. The number is 2 or less. Further, the number of targets is always three depending on the permutation and the number of registered permutations. In other words, the number of targets in the first frame is 15/
It is 8/3/. I marked the first one, 15/8/, as a joke number and threw it.

If none of the three targets is hit, the number of targets in the second frame will remain the same as in the first frame, but for example, if the number of executions is [8], in the next second frame, the number of targets in the second frame will be the same as in the first frame. Eliminate [8] and obtain the order [6] by permutation
is rounded up to 15/3/6/. In this way, the game progresses while updating the target number by deleting the given number and incrementing the order by permutation.

For bonus adjustment in the case of style [P], if there is a remaining number [tl] equal to the bonus number [b], that [b] is replaced with the current number [tl]. This “residual number”
This refers to the number of targets remaining that are not targeted by the city. Therefore, the bonus cannot be adjusted unless you have entered the same number as the bonus number, and even if you have entered, you cannot adjust the bonus if you have entered the market.

2. Combination method (Co+1bination 5style
, symbol; c) Next is the "combination method." This is also called "Style;C" and its symbol is represented by [C], and it is a game style in which a specified number of registered pieces are registered as one combination, and the score is competed based on whether or not the combination is executed according to the registered number. be. This style [C] The number of cvM records is [8] in the front competition round, [IO] in the all round, and - Joke number specified at random [J]
The number of is [2]. In addition, there is the following "first number" as a personality number set only for style [C]. In other words, it is a conditional combination of first numbers.

First number (symbol; F) This is a number that must be registered at the beginning of several numbers to be registered, and it is a number that has a restriction that you cannot move on to the next target number unless you hit it first. Therefore, unless this number is selected, even if the number of frames changes sequentially, it will never lead to points. However, this essential restriction applies only to the front (front) - round, and in the rear round, this restriction is lifted and the number of registrations becomes normal. The numbers are as follows and are specified/randomly specified.

Number of [F]...One of [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8] The number to register is from 1 to A (A = 10), including this first number and two joke numbers. 1
The number is 0, and the number of the same number that can be registered is 2 or less. In addition, the number of targets is initially only one first number, and when that first number is entered, it becomes the remaining number of registrations excluding that number, and from now on, it becomes the remaining number of registrations excluding the current number. For example, assume that the first number is [6], the joke numbers are [2] and [8], and the number of registrations is as follows.

+1612181 A I 9171618191 A
11 Now, the target number in the first frame is only one, the first number. In any case, unless you hit the first number [6], the number of targets in the second frame will also be /6/, and the number of targets will not change even if you move from frame to frame until you hit this number. In the rear rounds, this first number will be removed from the mandatory restriction and will be registered as a normal number, but if you carry over the first number as it is, you can hardly expect to get a good score. Therefore, the brightness of the game will be determined by which frame the first number is carried over to.

If the first number is this, the next frame will be the rest of the entry numbers, and there is no permutation of this, so it can be any entry number. That is, If -I 21 s l A I 9171 s I
a l 91 A I! and the remaining number of targets are lined up on the gold side,
Probably a series of strikes. The actual number is erased one after another, but as the actual number increases, the number of targets becomes narrower.

Bonus adjustment is the same as in the case of style CP).
If there is a remaining number [tl that is the same as the bonus number [bl], replace that [bl with the current number rt].

3.Sequence method (5equence St71e, symbol;
S) In the continuous number method, which is also called "style;S" and its symbol is represented by [S], entries are made by concentrating on a certain specific number. A specific number is called a "sequence number"
The symbol is represented by [1], which is a character number specific to style [S].

Sequence number (symbol: $) This is a number that appears as the target number in every frame.

The number is a randomly specified bonus adjustment/<-
[Arbitrarily select 1 number equal to bl and 4
It is one number from 7 to 7.

The number e of [$] and [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7゜8.9
] (Random) - Select 11 from [4, 5, 6, 7°]) The number to register for this style [S] is 2 randomly specified joke numbers and this sequence number 2
There are four in total, and these four numbers are lined up as the initial target number. Among these, joke numbers are deleted depending on the city, but sequence numbers are not deleted even if the city is used until the final frame and continue to be connected. Furthermore, the number 1 (lI) alone does not make the city a city.

In other words, style [S] is a game in which players register using a certain calculation method based on the number of combinations of two consecutive registrations (this is referred to as a "consecutive losing streak"), and compete for points based on whether or not they are able to execute as per the registration. It is the law. This [number of combinations of 2 series] means, for example, the following 6 combinations [4C2] of 2 from the 4 numbers [1, 2, 3, 4].

[1,2] , [1,3] , [1,4] , [2゜3
Ko, [,2,4], [3,4]... φε group Therefore, when two consecutive snubbers hit, [2
C2], and the appropriate number is [1].

If it hits [$] for 3 frames in a row, [3°C2
], the city number is [3], and if you hit 4 frames in a row, [
4C2], the number of items in this city is [6].

Consecutive losses are calculated in this way, taking into consideration the difficulty of guessing 2 pieces instead of 1, or 3 pieces instead of 2, in a row.

However, for Joffnavar [j3], which will be deleted by the city, this will be calculated as [$+1]. In other words, the calculation method for the number (S) of the style [S] is as follows, where the number of the appropriate series is [n], and the number of jaw nappers included in the proper series is [kl]. It is as follows. ;5=nCu+k (u=2) Now, the number of registrations for style [S] is
Round [6], rear round [A] (A=10
). If the city's number overflows the registered number, the number shall be the same as the registered number. Further, the bonus adjustment replaces the bonus number [$] with the execution number [p] which is different from [b].

For example, if the number of registrations is [b=il=31, [! I = 7], and let's actually throw a bowl with [j = 5 and [j = 8]. First, the number of targets in the first frame is +15
/8/3/711. This is [j]! ] [b=l
i] [ti]. These four numbers continue until you hit either [5] or [8] of Joffnabar N], but if you hit these numbers consecutively,
Probably not easy.

Now, what about the number of executions? If the sequence number is [3] or [7], the number of targets will still be +1.
5/3/8/7+1 remains the same. However, if you hit the joke number [5] or [8], that number will be erased. For example, if you hit the target on [8], the number of targets will be 3 (+15/3/7n) in the next frame.

If the number of executions for each frame is as follows, what are the actual numbers before and after the bonus adjustment?

It is a game style where you compete for points.The number to be registered is the total number including two joke numbers (this is called the "number of registrations"), and this total number of registrations is taken as the number of registrations from the front to the rear round. Based on the total number, the total number of the front's own rounds (this is referred to as the "specified total number") including two sono-shoke numbers will be determined using a prescribed formula. Therefore, the number of targets is limited to two joke numbers and the total number for each round stage.

For example, if the joke numbers are [3] and [7] and the total number of joke numbers registered is [100], these are the only real numbers, and the number of targets and executions for each other frame does not matter.

However, it is difficult to say that the number of targets in each frame does not matter. Therefore, for convenience, the "average value" is displayed in each frame as a temporary target number. The joke numbers are [3] and [7]
] Since there are 2 pieces, the count of the real part is [10F
(3+7). In addition, the number of frames to be distributed to two targets in the real part [2] is subtracted from the initial value of the remaining number of frames [15], and the remaining number of frames to be distributed in the mantissa part is [13].
(15-2). The count of this mantissa part is the total number of registrations [
Since the remaining number [90F (100-10) is obtained by subtracting the real number part count [101] from 1001, the mantissa part count [90] is divided by the remaining number of payout frames [13] in the mantissa part.

178+12='IO This is the target number of the mantissa part of the first frame, and is the initial value so to speak. Also, the real part is /
3/7/, so the number of targets in all 15 frames is lined up, and the total number, that is, the total number of registrations, is [10

<10/90 By the way, the number of frames in the front round should have been [10]. For the initial value, the number of moduli with the smaller number ([6] in this case) of the number of the target number in the mantissa part comes first, and the number of moduli with the larger number ([7] here) follows. Instead, cut (omit) 5 of the rules with the largest number, and set the remaining 10, including the 2 joke numbers, as the target number (initial value) for the first frame of the front table round, and then cut that 10 - number. The count becomes the prescribed total number of front rounds. In this example:

<101 55>=<65>iKibutsuSukiNow, what will happen to the number of targets after the second frame? This is because the real part branches into the mantissa part depending on whether the execution number is a Joffnavar or not. In other words, if it is a joke number, the number that was used as a joke is deleted and a (-) mark is added to indicate that the number has been deleted. For example, if the execution number is [7], only the real part of the target number in the second frame changes.

・ ・ ・ <3155> = <58 If it is not a joke number, subtract 1 by the number of executions from the count of the mantissa part, and add this to the remaining number of payout frames of the mantissa part [7] (8-1) Divide by to update the number of targets in the next frame. For example, if the third frame is [2], the target number of the third frame changes by its mantissa part.

55-2=53.53/7=7...a4 In the same way, place the smaller number first, and also put the ordinal number (the dust that displays [number]) in the mantissa part. The [Math. 1] to be displayed is erased one by one from the right, and in this case, a sign (-) is similarly added to indicate that it has been erased.

・ ・ ・ <3153>-<56n In this way, the real number part and the mantissa part are separated and the target number of the frame is updated sequentially. However, the entry bowling game machine uses a computer attached to each lane. The display device automatically displays the number of targets for each frame using the so-called "five-column number display method," so all you have to do is read this and throw, hit, or punch. The way to read it in this case is as follows.

Sui 1 frame 1I3171161i'+711 <1
0155>= <65> Execution 8-. 762 frame 1
131-116171711 <3155> = <

18I+<3153n-<56> Really Atsushi;? In this way, the mantissa part is displayed using three ordinal numbers, but it must be noted that in this case the following instructions are included.

116171711 Throw with weight on ``7'' from ``r6'' 117181811 Throw with weight on ``8'' from r7J 1171 = I811 Throw with weight on ``r7'' or ``8'' (
117171711 r7" (Either is fine) The contents of this 5-digit notation method are the same as the method explained earlier (this is called the 1O zashiki method), so it is 1. If the lane is not equipped with an entry bowling machine, you will have no choice but to calculate the number of targets one by one, which may be a little impossible.

In the case of the total counting method, as the final frame approaches, the movement of the target number becomes violently rough, often overflowing [A] or, conversely, underflowing [01]. In conjunction with the bonus number, think and throw, throw and think, ``How to defeat it''
It is a game technique that can be called the essence of entry bowling, which has the contradictory proposition of ``how to preserve it.'' The bonus adjustment is the bonus number [bl is the execution number,
There are four basic types of game style entry bowling in the second stage system, which replaces one of the number of executions of the rear order round, with different game styles as described above. Various varieties can be created based on this, but here we will explain the standard two-round two-stage game format.

The first stage is the front round, and when the number of registered pieces including the joke number reaches the specified number, the game ends. Yes, but with front up, unless you have great skill and luck, it is very unlikely that you will be able to do it.Therefore, we will bring the game to the second stage, which is the all round from the front round to the rear round. This is the meaning behind the fact that the normal number of frames for entry bowling is [15].

In addition, in entry bowling, the number of registrations is specified for each round stage, but this is due to the imbalance in the technical difficulty of each different game style in the entire entry bowling game system. This is because adjustments are made by adding or subtracting the number of characters and the number of registered pieces, and it is somewhat difficult to completely match the technical imbalance between the styles, which originally have qualitatively different game contents. The results are approximated and verified statistically based on actual data. The normal number of registrations for each game style is as follows.

Unlike standard bowling, except in the case of the total counting method, when the number of bowls in the city reaches the specified number of registered bowls, including the Jofnabar, the game is completed with that frame even if there are still frames left. set) to stop pitching. In that case, especially in the case of front up, the number of registrations will be deemed to have reached the number of all-round registrations up to the rear round, and if the number of runs in the rear round does not include nonsense , this is called "Rear Up" and the bonus adjustment is omitted.

In the case of the total number method, the number of executions in the front round includes nonsense numbers, and when the number of pieces in the city reaches the specified number including joke numbers in the filO frame, it is considered front up, and the number of executions up to the rear order round. Rear-up is when the registered number is reached in the 15th frame without including a nonsense number.

In addition, if the [W course] is selected and the number of pieces in the city reaches the prescribed number of registered pieces including joke numbers before the playback, the playback is omitted and the game is completed. For example, in [W course], style [S]
The player who had selected [jl [$1 [
8] [When the specified number of registrations [6] is reached with jl and 4 pitches, the game is set in only 4 frames.

The score calculation method is common to all playing styles, and after all joke numbers have been played, the number of pieces including that joke number [x 1] is the registered number specified for each game style. By the numerical difference [z] subtracted from [y] (y-x = 2. This is called "magic number" or "magic". In the case of style "T" (total number method), it is "±"), The details are as follows for each game course and round stage.

This score is determined by bonus adjustment after the final frame, except in the case of front number up and rear up. Bonus adjustments do not need to be exercised if there is no benefit.

Compared to this bonus number, the joke numbers that appear in every game style are hard to laugh at. No matter how much the number of hits increases, if there is even one joke number left, it will never lead to points.

The magic count begins when this joke number disappears.

If there are the same number of registrations as the joke number across all game styles, the number of players who hit the market first with that pitch will be treated as the joke number. Also, if there are the same number of joke numbers as the first number, the number of players who hit the ball first with that pitch will be treated as the first number. This is called the principle of number priority.

If a joke number remains after the final frame, the game will be disqualified. In addition, when the number of executions in the front round includes a nonsense number, the magic number is calculated as plus [1] for each magic number according to the number of nonsense numbers. Therefore, if a nonsense number appears, there will be no front up or rear up. Furthermore, if the number of runs in the rear round includes a nonsense number, the game will be disqualified. In addition, if the game is interrupted for more than a certain period of time during the game, the game will be disqualified.
