Description

Game device for expectation in order of arrival the race}

The present invention relates to a play device for predicting the arrival order of a race, and more particularly, to a play device of a type provided in a game center or the like to receive bets by coins from a plurality of players.

In game centers and the like, various types of entertainment devices that predict the arrival order of races are popular. For example, in a horse racing simulation game, before the start of a race, each player bets on the order of arrival of a specific horse by putting coins into it, causing the horse doll to run on the model of the racetrack, or the screen of a large display device. A game is performed by causing a horse racing scene to be displayed on the screen, presenting the result of the race to the player, and disbursing a predetermined coin to the player who has anticipated the arrival order. In such a game device, the odds of each racehorse are calculated in consideration of parameters such as the ability of each racehorse, the climate, and the state of the course, and the odds are set according to the odds. Each player may place a bet with reference to this odds. Of course, the higher the odds, the lower the odds, so the player may choose to bet as much as possible because the odds may be low, or to bet with a higher odds but with a higher odds. Place a correct bet.

In the above-mentioned horse racing simulation game, various tastes, such as setting a odds ratio, are reflected so as to provide a form of play as close as possible to actual horse racing. However, because the simulation is performed at the game center to the last, the player feels the impression that he is playing against the machine, and the realism that is felt in the actual race track is damaged.

The present invention in view of the above problems is an object of the present invention to provide a play device for predicting the arrival sequence of the race that can provide a sense of reality in the actual race ground.

Hereinafter, it demonstrates based on embodiment which shows this invention. 1 is a block diagram showing the basic configuration of a play device for predicting the arrival sequence of a race according to an embodiment of the present invention. The play device shown here is a device for simulating horse racing, and is a device that enjoys play by predicting the arrival order of the competition horse.

The large components of this play apparatus are the large display apparatus 100, the control apparatus 200, and each terminal apparatus 310,320, (330). First, the hardware configuration of each of these devices will be described. The large display device 100 is a device having a large display screen installed in a place visible to all players. In this example, three display units, a odds display unit 110, a race display unit 120, and an auxiliary information display unit 130, are provided. Have The control apparatus 200 is comprised by a computer, and is a part which functions as a backbone of this amusement apparatus. It is good also as a structure in which the control apparatus 200 inside the large display apparatus 100 was put together. The terminal devices 310, 320, and 330 are devices operated by individual players, and may be constituted by a small monitor device and various kinds of operation buttons (touch panels attached on the screen of the monitor device). ) And a mechanism for accepting and dispensing coins can be exchanged with the control device 200. In practical terms, it is preferable to arrange a chair or the like in front of each of the terminal devices 310, 320, and 330 so that each player can sit and perform operations on the terminal device. In addition, the large display device 100 is to be installed in a position that can be seen from all players sitting in the vicinity of the terminal device. In addition, although only three terminal devices are depicted in the example of the city, it is preferable to allow a larger number of terminal devices to be actually installed and to be able to play simultaneously with a larger number of players.

Subsequently, the software configuration of the play apparatus will be described. First, the terminal apparatus 310 is comprised by the bet accepting means 311 and the betting means 312 from the functional viewpoint. The bet accepting means 311 has a function of accepting bets from a player who plays a game, which specifies a predetermined arrival order, during a betting reception time for each race. The player bets on the terminal device 310 by an operation of specifying an expected arrival order and an operation of inputting a coin to be placed. The terminal 310 has a coin input function that receives a coin input from the player, and a designation input function for inputting a designation of the arrival order forecast from the player (for example, a selection screen for the arrival sequence forecast to the monitor device). Display, and input to select one) is provided, and the betting acceptance means 311 can accept bets by each of these functions. In addition, a coin dispensing function for dispensing coins to the player is provided in the terminal apparatus 310, and the distributing means 312 uses the coin dispensing function to dispense a predetermined number of coins as dividends. Single-shot device 330 has a betting accepting means 331 and the allocation means 332, the function is the same as the terminal device (310).

On the other hand, the control device 200, paying attention to its functional aspects, odds storage means 211, race execution means 220, initial odds determination means 230, odds determination means 240, odds change means ( It is composed of a set of components as shown in (250). The odds determination unit 240 is a component having a function of determining the odds for each race. The odds of each racehorse are determined for each race in consideration of parameters such as the horse's ability, climate, and course conditions. The odds determination unit 240 is provided with data such as a horse's name, various abilities, aptitude for a climate, a course, etc., in advance, regarding a plurality of race horses, and determines a climate and a course for each race, and these are comprehensively obtained. In consideration of this, processing for calculating the odds of winning each race horse is performed. 2 is a table showing an example of the odds determined in this way. In this example, the course, horse name, and odds of each race horse are displayed with respect to three races in which four race horses travel.

The initial odds determining means 230 determines the initial odds at the time of the respective arrival order based on the odds, and stores the initial odds in the odds storing means 210 as the initial odds. In the case of a single race with four race horses as shown in Fig. 2, four kinds of arrival sequence projections showing which one is the first arrival are defined, and the initial odds are determined for each arrival sequence projection. . In addition, if the race is a winning streak with four race horses, six arrival sequence projections are defined to show which two of the four horses will be first and second. This is determined. Of course, the lower the arrival rate expected based on the odds of each racehorse, the higher the initial odds.

The odds storage unit 210 stores the initial odds determined in this way by the initial odds determining unit 230. A feature of the present invention is that the odds are sequentially changed by the player's betting. That is, when a bet designated by the betting reception means 311, 321, 331 in the terminal devices 310, 320, 330 that specifies a specific arrival order prediction is received, the odds changing means 250 is received. Is based on the bet, to change the odds in the odds storage means 210. More specifically, when a bet specifying a specific arrival order prediction is received, the odds change is performed so that the odds are relatively lower than the odds regarding other arrival order predictions. . Such a change may be made by lowering the odds regarding the expected arrival order that is the bet, or conversely, by increasing the odds regarding the expected arrival order other than the expected arrival order. Of course, you may carry out by the method which combined both.

In this way, each time the betting is performed, the odds in the odds storage means 210 are updated by the odds changing means 250, but the odds display portion 110 stores each arrival order stored in the odds storage means 210. FIG. It functions as a odds ratio display means for displaying the latest odds at each expected time, and the latest odds at the time of the situation is displayed. In addition, the odds display unit 110 also displays a total amount of bets for the corresponding arrival sequence predictions, as well as the odds for each arrival sequence prediction. Therefore, each player can immediately know the odds and betting states with respect to each arrival order forecast at the present time by looking at the odds display unit 110. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing a display example of the odds ratio for a race of four consecutive races in which four race horses travel. In this example, numerical values are displayed in each of six areas from the areas 111 to 116, but these six areas correspond to six types of arrival sequence projections, respectively. For example, the region 111 predicts the "1-2" arrival sequence (when the example shown in Fig. 2 is applied, the word "active ace" that runs one course and two courses are run. (1-2) in the upper left indicates the expected arrival order, and "0" in the lower left indicates the total amount of bets on the expected arrival sequence. (In this example, there is no bet on the corresponding arrival sequence prediction yet), and the "009" on the right shows the odds (the number of coins allocated for one coin bet).

The race execution unit 220 executes a race of each race horse based on the winning percentage determined by the odds determination unit 240 after the type of betting connection for each race. The race display unit 120 functions as race display means for displaying the progress and the final result of the executed race. That is, the race progress is sequentially displayed on the race display unit 120, and the final result is also displayed here. When the final result of the race is determined, the divider means 312, 322, 332 divides the wagers with the expected arrival order on the basis of the final odds at the end of the betting connection.

Finally, the typical progress of play using the play apparatus which concerns on this embodiment is described. In this play device, a race is held periodically every fixed time. For example, it is said that it is time to hold "the third race of the day" from now on. The contents of the race to be performed from now on are displayed on the auxiliary information display unit 130 shown in FIG. In the example of the city, "the third race of the day" is held from now on, information on the course is "grass" and the climate is "sunny". At this time, the odds determination for each racehorse as shown in Fig. 2 is determined by the odds determination means 240, and the information of such odds is, for example, the information before the race in the race display section 120. Presented. On the other hand, the initial odds determination means 230 calculates the initial odds based on the odds, and stores them in the odds storage unit 210. As a result, for example, the odds display unit 110 displays an initial odds as shown in FIG. 3. At this point, no bet on each arrival sequence estimate has yet been made, and the total amount of each expected arrival sequence is "0".

In this state, the betting reception regarding "the third race of the day" starts. The player uses any terminal device to place a bet on his or her desired arrival sequence. At this time, with reference to the odds shown in FIG. 3 displayed on the odds display unit 110, it is sufficient to determine how many coins are to be bet for which arrival sequence prediction. For example, a player may bet 5 coins on the predicted arrival sequence of "1-2." Then, the odds changing means 250 changes the odds so that the odds of the arrival order forecast of "1-2" are relatively lower than those of the other arrival order estimates. The simplest change method is to lower only the odds of the arrival order of 1-2. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the initial odds of the arrival sequence of "1-2" are "009 (9 times)", but it is good to change it to "008 (8 times)", for example. As a result, in the display of FIG. 3, the lower left end of the region 111 becomes "5 (batting total amount)" and the right becomes "008".

In this way, when any player bets from any terminal apparatus, the number of times, the odds changing process by the odds changing means 250 is performed, and the odds after the change is displayed on the odds display unit 110. Therefore, the player who bets from this time selects the arrival sequence expected to be the most profitable while watching the change of the odds display unit 110 to place a bet, and the player who has already bet already has another player from now on. Since the betting odds of one's own bet depends on what kind of betting is performed, attention is paid to the change of the odds display unit 110 until the start of the race. In this way, in the game, attention is always paid to the trends of other players, rather than "play against the machine" rather than "play against the machine," so that the player feels more like a real racetrack. I can tell you.

As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated based on embodiment which shows this invention, this invention is not limited to this embodiment, It can implement in various forms other than this. In particular, in the above-described embodiment, an example of a horse racing simulation game using race horses as an object of a race is given, but the present invention is not limited to a race horse, but can be widely applied to a race about various objects.

As described above, the present invention is a play device for predicting the arrival order of a related race, and since the odds are changed by betting of each player, it is possible to provide a sense of reality that is close to the actual race ground.
