It includes.

The wired communication terminal 102 is a device for connecting to the Internet 108 through various wired communication networks, and includes, for example, a computer. Meanwhile, in the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the wireless communication terminal 100 and the wired communication terminal 102 are shown only one each for convenience of description, but a plurality of wireless communication terminals 100 and the wired communication terminal 102 are provided. Can be.

The wireless base station 104 refers to a base station having a wireless transceiver that is wirelessly connected to the wireless communication terminal 100 and transmits a signal received from the wireless communication terminal 100 to the mobile communication switching center 106. The mobile communication switching center 106 has a management function of the wireless base station 104, which enables a plurality of wireless base stations 104 to operate efficiently, and is connected with the Internet 108.

Game server 110 functions to provide a bingo game according to the present invention. In more detail, the game server 110 may include a web server unit displaying a bingo game screen on a web, a database unit storing information of members registered in the game server 110, and a game having a module of a bingo game.

Figure 3 is a flow chart showing the progress of the bingo game according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the user connects to the game server 110 using the wireless communication terminal 100 or the wired communication terminal 102 (S300). The user who accesses the game server 110 registers as a member by inputting a name, ID, password, contact address, phone number, and e-mail address on the provided web page. Thereafter, the user inputs an ID and a password again to receive user authentication (S304). If user authentication does not work properly, the user may re-enter the user authentication by entering the ID and password again. Otherwise, if the user authentication is properly made, the web page is displayed on the bingo game board and the user's point (S306). Here, the points can be obtained by the user paying a certain amount of money using his bank account or credit card. If the user selects to start the game, the game server checks the user's points to determine whether batting is possible (S308). If it is determined that betting is impossible due to insufficient points, a message indicating that the game cannot be played due to insufficient points is displayed on the web page (S310). Otherwise, if the bet is possible, the user enters a number or a picture on the bingo game board, or the game server 110 is randomly input (S312).

If the user additionally selects the winning line, the selected line is displayed on the bingo board, and the points corresponding to the selected line are subtracted from the user's point (S316), and the winning number is displayed (S318), otherwise the winning number is immediately displayed. It is displayed (S318). The game server 110 compares the reference line and the winning line selected by the user with the winning number to determine whether the winning is performed (S320). When the user wins, the user's points are added to the points corresponding to the winning rank (S322), and selects whether to continue the bingo game (S324). Otherwise, if there is no winning, there is no increase or decrease of user points, and the user selects whether to continue the bingo game (S324). If the user continues to play the bingo game is returned to step S306, otherwise the bingo game is terminated (S326).

In addition, the user who has obtained a certain point or more can be converted into a certain amount of money in accordance with a predetermined ratio and transferred to his bank account.

As described above, the bingo game according to the present invention proceeds the game with the points that the game participants are converted into money, it can lead to continuous participation and desire for game participation.

In addition, since bingo game participants can set a plurality of winning lines, the probability of winning can be increased, and more game participants can get a chance of winning.
