This step, in association with a selection of the gamer is characterized in that it comprises the step of deleting the poker hand from the gamer specific area.

Hereinafter, a poker game providing system and method for providing a poker game service to a gamer through the Internet of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The poker game according to the present invention is a modification of a game method of a general poker game in which two or more gamers play a game, and is called 'Choice Poker'. That is, 'choice poker' refers to a game-type poker game that gives the gamer the right to discard a predetermined number of basic poker cards from among the basic poker cards distributed to the gamers at the start of the game. For example, as a typical 'choice poker' game method, in the present specification, four cards are distributed to each gamer as a basic poker hand, and among them, one basic poker hand can be discarded according to the gamer's choice. It illustrates a gameplay that allows you to start a poker game with a basic poker hand. In other words, in 'Choice Poker', gamers can select three basic poker cards which are considered to be likely to be combined as a genealogy considered by the gamers among the four basic poker cards distributed.

In order to be provided with a game service based on the game method of the 'choice poker', the gamers may select a game room whose game method is 'choice poker' when the game room is selected. The game method performed in the game room may be determined according to the selection of the game director who opens the game room, and checks the type of poker game that is played in the specific game room and performs a poker game among a plurality of gamers connected to the game room.

In addition, poker cards in poker games are divided into four types of spades, diamonds, hearts, and clover. Each card consists of 13 cards. These poker cards consist of a predetermined number of basic poker cards distributed at the beginning of the game, and then a poker poker card distributed sequentially to each player. Here, one poker card selected by the gamer from among the basic poker cards (three basic poker cards selected by the gamer) is opened and arranged in a predetermined gamer's unique area, and the turning poker card is hidden only in the last poker card distributed to the gamer's unique area. Are arranged. In addition, in each game turn in which the poker poker hand is distributed to all gamers one by one, betting processing is performed between gamers. At this time, the size of the bet point data is, for example, 'b', which is a basic bet. There are 'Dang' to bet twice the size of the gamers in the order, and 'Half' to bet 1/2 of the size of the point data accumulated by the bet so far.

In the "Choice Poker" poker game described above, the four basic poker hands are distributed to each gamer, and the three basic poker cards selected from the four players are selected according to the gamers' choice. do. The gamer selects one of three distributed basic poker hands as open, and the server providing the poker game service plays the poker based on the order of distribution based on the card details (card pattern or card number) of the opened basic poker hand. The hand is sequentially distributed and bets are processed from the gamers. Thereafter, the server repeatedly performs a game turn consisting of the distribution and betting of the poker poker hand, and hides the poker poker hand in the last game turn (e.g., the game turn in which the seventh poker hand is distributed) according to the rules of the poker game. To each gamer.

The game win / loss decision can be flexibly designed by the operator of the present system. In the poker game providing system of the present invention, for example, the distribution of poker cards (basic poker cards or poker poker cards) to the gamers is completed and distributed poker is completed. The combination of hands may determine the winner with the highest grade genealogy. In determining the winner's game, each genealogy is matched with the rating information so that the server can determine the superiority among the gamers, and among the gamers with the same genealogy, the gamers have higher scores based on the contents of the poker hand (numbers / patterns, etc.). The player with the poker hand of rank is decided as the winner. For example, after the poker hand is finally dispensed, if the combination held by gamers A is 'one pair including the seventh heart card' and the combination held by gamers B is 'one pair including the seventh spade card', the server As game winners between A gamers and B gamers having the same genealogy, the B gamers with the pattern superiority (spade> heart) can be determined as the winner gamers.

The method of determining the winner gamers can also be applied to determining the order in which the poker poker hand is distributed or to the betting order among the gamers. Sequential (clockwise or counterclockwise order) distribution and betting may be performed based on the gamers holding the game.

1 is a view for explaining a brief configuration of the poker game providing system of the present invention.

The poker game providing system 100 allows a poker game to be played between gamers 120 according to an algorithm corresponding to a game method of a typical poker game, but sets various anomalies for the distributed poker hand to interest the poker game. Can increase. In addition, the poker game providing system 100 determines the genealogy by combining poker cards distributed to each gamers as the game progresses, and determines the game win or loss by using the genealogy and reward processing according to the game result, that is, bet points. Transition processing such as transferring data to the winner's storage space (user account) is performed.

In particular, the poker game providing system 100 according to the present embodiment is not provided in the conventional poker game, such as excluding a predetermined number of poker cards from the basic poker cards allocated to the gamers 120 at the same time as the start of the poker game. Options may be provided to gamers 120. In the present embodiment, the poker game providing system 100 will be described with reference to performing a poker game between a plurality of gamers 120 located remotely on an online game, particularly a network, for convenience of description. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the technical idea of the present invention can be applied to not only online games but also personal computer games and video console games.

First, the game support server 110 is connected to a predetermined terminal means 125 held by the gamer 120 through a wired / wireless network 130, and includes various kinds of poker game services online to the gamer 120. It is a concept that collectively refers to a service support device that provides a game service. The game service provided by the game support server 110 is a game support server when the gamers 120 having installed the program related to the game in the terminal means 125 access the game support server 110 according to the present invention. Predetermined game data or game patches required for the game by the 110 are transmitted to the terminal means 125, and game related programs (e.g., poker game execution programs) driven by the game data or game patches are transferred. Can be provided to the gamers 120 through.

Gamer 120 has a terminal means 125 for connection with network 130, and receives the game data or game patch for game progress from the game support server 110 according to the present invention poker according to the present invention It may mean an Internet user who receives a predetermined game service including a game service.

The terminal means 125 maintains a connection state with the game support server 110 via a network 130 such as the Internet or a telephone line, and implements a poker game service provided through the network 130, for example, a personal computer. It is a concept to collectively refer to a terminal having a predetermined computing power by providing a predetermined memory means such as a handheld computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile phone, a smartphone, and the like by mounting a predetermined microprocessor.

The poker game providing system 100 may support various game methods that could not be performed in the existing poker game through exchange processing of the distributed basic poker hand. Hereinafter, a detailed configuration of the poker game providing system 200 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

2 is a block diagram showing a poker game providing system supporting a game method of the choice poker according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The poker game providing system 200 of the present invention includes an account holding means 210, a game progressing means 220, a genealogy information database 230, a winner determining means 240, and a point transferring means 250.

First, the account holding means 210 is a device for recording the point data of the gamer 120 in the gamer account assigned for each gamer 120, the user information (for example, the game player 120 receiving the poker game service) Gamers identifiers, network addresses of gamers, etc.) and the point data held by the corresponding gamers 120 are recorded for each gamer 120. Here, the point data refers to the numerical information worth the money used in the participation and betting of the poker game in the provision of the poker game service through the network 130, for example, gamers 120 through an event such as the first sign-up May be given / granted or increased through a predetermined purchase process by the gamer 120. In addition, the point data of the account holding means 210 may be deducted by a predetermined size by the betting of the gamers 120 according to the progress of the poker game, and may be further deducted or increased through the reward processing according to the game win or lose. If the point data recorded in the gamer account falls below a certain size, the account maintaining means 210 notifies the gamer 120 of predetermined guide information for inducing the purchase of additional point data or the gamer 120. It can be controlled to forcibly limit the progress of the poker game.

The game progress means 220 is a device for controlling the poker game to be performed according to a game progress algorithm related to the progress rule of the poker game. That is, the game progress means 220 distributes a predetermined number of basic poker cards (eg, four cards) to the gamers 120 participating in the same poker game, and the predetermined basic poker cards not to be used as the basic poker cards in the poker game. (Eg, Chapter 1) gives gamers 120 the right to select. In addition, one of the remaining basic poker cards selected by the gamers 120 is opened according to the selection operation signal of the gamers 120 to be opened to the gamers 120 participating in the same poker game.

That is, the game proceeding means 220 records the distributed basic poker hand in the gamer's own area, and according to the arbitrary judgment of the gamer 120, one basic that is determined to be less than the combination and relationship that the gamer 120 intends to achieve. Controls the poker hand to be deleted from the gamer's own area. To this end, the game progress algorithm, which is a standard of the operation of the game progress means 220, is allocated to the gamers 120 at the same time as the start of the poker game and is recorded for the poker hand recorded in the gamers' own area. And processing information about deleting the predetermined number of poker hands from the gamer's unique area according to the selection of.

Thereafter, the game progress means 220 combines the poker hand that is opened and recorded in the gamers' unique area of the gamers 120, and turns in the next game turn based on the gamers 120 that are combined into the highest grade genealogy. The order of distribution and betting of the poker hand is determined. In addition, the game progress means 220 repeats the game turn for which the distribution of the poker hand and the betting of the point data are performed a predetermined number of times to advance the poker game. Here, the game turn is a period in which the distribution of the poker poker hand by the game propagation means 220 and the reception of the signal related to the betting of the point data from the gamers 120 are continuously performed. After that, it may mean a period required to perform the betting process by each gamer 120. The number of repetitions of the game turn can be set flexibly by the operator of the present system. In this embodiment, the game poker is repeated three times, the number of times the poker poker hand is distributed to the open and the number of times to the hidden one. . The distribution order and the betting order of the poker hand may be according to a general game method of a poker game, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted herein. Hereinafter, referring to FIG. 3, the operation of the game progress means 220 according to the game progress algorithm will be described.

3 is a view showing an example of the operation of the game progress means according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, the game progress means 220 performs a poker game according to a game progress algorithm, and first distributes a predetermined number of basic poker cards to a plurality of gamers 120 participating in a poker game (S310). . This step (S310) is a process of distributing the basic poker hand to each gamer 120 at the start of the game, corresponding to various game methods of the poker game. In the present embodiment of playing a poker game of the "Choice Poker" method, four basic poker cards may be distributed to the gamers 120 and recorded in the gamers' unique area allocated to the gamers 120. In particular, the game progress means 220 in this step (S310) is a predetermined number (e.g. one) of the basic poker cards selected by the gamers 120 according to the game strategy of the gamers 120 in the gamers unique area. Delete it. Therefore, according to the present invention, three basic poker cards can be selected by the gamers 120 among the four basic poker cards distributed, so that the optimal condition (family tree is easily combined) among the basic poker cards distributed by the gamers 120. Can be started / played with the basic poker hand in the condition that it can be.

In addition, the game proceeding means 220 opens one basic poker hand to display the details according to the selection of the gamers 120 among the basic poker hands selected by the gamers 120 (S320), and the opened basic poker hand. The distribution order is determined based on the predetermined grade information about (S330). The steps S320 and S330 open one basic poker hand according to the selection of the gamers 120 and arrange it in a predetermined area unique to the player (the remaining poker hands are arranged in hidden so that the card details are not visible). It is a process of determining the order of distribution of poker cards according to the grade of the poker hand. As the game progresses, the game progress means 220 arranges the poker poker hand distributed in the next game turn in the gamer's own area with the opening, and uses the opened poker hand to determine the rank and the next game turn of the poker hand. The order of distribution in can be determined.

That is, the game proceeding means 220 opens and distributes a poker poker hand to each of the gamers 120 based on the distribution order determined in the previous game turn (S340), and responds to a signal related to the betting of the point data, the betting. The point data having a predetermined size is extracted from the gamer account of the gamer 120 inputting the signal and accumulated in the earning means (S350). The steps S340 and S350 combine only the opened poker cards by gamers, and distribute all the poker poker cards to individual gamers based on the gamers 120 having the combination cards of the highest grade genealogy. The betting process is performed between the gamers 120. In general, the distribution direction of the poker poker hand is distributed in the counterclockwise direction based on the gamers 120 having the highest grade, but this is not specifically determined and can be flexibly changed by the operator of the present system. Of course.

In addition, the game progress means 220 repeats the distribution of the poker poker hand and the betting of the point data by a predetermined number of times (S360). This step (S360) is a process of proceeding a poker game while repeating the game turn made of the distribution and betting process. In particular, the game progress means 220 in this step 360 may drop the gamers 120 giving up the poker game in progress without generating a betting signal in a specific game turn. The dropped gamers 120 may not give new betting poker cards from the next game turn, and may not give any more betting opportunities.

Next, when the repeated number of times satisfies the predetermined value, the game progress means 220 controls to transfer the point data accumulated in the earning means to the winner's gamer account determined by the winner determination algorithm (S370). . This step (S370) is a process of repeating the game turn consisting of the distribution / betting to play a poker game, and after the end of the poker game to be paid to the winner gamers accumulated point data to the present bet according to the result of the win or loss.

By performing the operation of the game progress means 220, the poker game providing system 200 may provide the gamers 120 with a poker game of a 'choice poker' method supported by the present invention.

In addition, the game progress means 220 receives a connection request from a plurality of gamers 120 to receive a poker game service, and in response to the received access request, authentication processing for the corresponding gamers 120 and associated with a poker game. Various information is controlled to be transmitted to the terminal means 125 of the gamer 120. That is, the game progress means 220 receives the gamer registration or authentication request signal from the gamer 120, manages the system login of the gamer 120, and logs in predetermined poker game applications or patch data for performing a poker game. And transmits to the terminal means 125 of the gamers 120, and updates the poker game application driven by the terminal means 125.

The genealogical information database 230 is a device for recording predetermined grade information corresponding to one or more poker hand combinations, and stores a genealogical identifier for determining a winner of a poker game, and combination data corresponding to the genealogical identifier and a combination of poker hands. do. The genealogy supported by the poker game providing system 200 of the present invention follows a general poker game, and the genealogy information database 230 is, for example, 'Royal Straight Flush' as the highest grade and 'Pair' as the lowest grade. Save it. Hereinafter, the genealogical information database will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

4 is a view for explaining an example of the configuration of a genealogical information database according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4, the family tree in a poker game may be defined as a combination of poker cards classified into eight grades. That is, the genealogy is generated when up to five poker cards of the poker cards distributed to the gamers contain the predetermined card contents. For example, among the seven poker cards finally distributed to any gamers 120, when all five cards are spades, the family tree that the gamers 120 holds is 'flush'. In addition, when the genealogy of other gamers who play the same poker game as the gamers 120 is less than or equal to 'straight', the gamers 120 having the 'flush' are determined as winners, and the point transfer means 250 to be described later is Through the game progression, it is possible to control the bet accumulated point data to be transferred to the gamer account of the gamer 120 determined as the winner.

The winner determining means 240 generates a combination data by combining poker cards distributed to gamers 120 participating in a poker game according to a game progress algorithm, and generates a genealogical identifier corresponding to the generated combination data in the genealogy information database 230. Search for and provide the game progress means 220 to control a predetermined win / loss decision algorithm. That is, the winner determining means 240 compares the grades of the genealogy possessed by each of the gamers 120 and determines the gamers 120 having the relatively high grade genealogy as the winners. In addition, the winner determining means 240 compares the highest number of poker cards included in the genealogy among the gamers 120 having the same genealogy, and determines the winner gamers. The winner will be determined by comparison. At this time, the priority of the pattern is in the order of spade (♠), diamond (◇), heart (♡), clover (♣). For example, two gamers having a combination of poker hands '1 to 5' both have an 'Ace Straight' as a genealogy, and thus cannot determine the superiority between the genealogy and the gamers by the number. At this time, the winner determining means 240 compares the ace poker hand of each gamer, and determines a gamer holding a poker hand having a higher priority pattern type as the winner. In the above-described example, when A gamer is an 'Ace Straight' including a heart ace and B gamer is an 'Ace Straight' including a spade ace, the winner determining means 2400 indicates a gamer 120 holding a spade ace. You can decide to be a winner.

The point transfer means 250 accumulates the point data betted by the plurality of gamers 120 according to the game progress algorithm to a predetermined earning means, and adds it to the gamer account of the gamers 120 determined as the winner gamers by the win / loss decision algorithm. It is a device for transferring accumulated point data. The earning means is a device that temporarily records and accumulates the point data betted from each gamer 120 during the progress of the poker game, and the point transfer means 250 stores the point data accumulated in the earning means at the end of the poker game. Pay to the winner gamers.

Therefore, according to the poker game method according to the present invention, the gamers 120 have an opportunity to exclude one basic poker hand from the game according to the selection of the gamers 120 among the basic poker hands distributed at the beginning of the game. In this way, the gamers 120 can play the poker game with the poker hand determined that the combination of genealogy is easy.

In addition, the poker game providing system 200 of the present invention may be performed in accordance with the determination of the gamer 120, such as the establishment, change, etc. of the game room that performs the poker game independently, for this purpose, the game room management means ( 260).

That is, the game room managing means 260 is a device that generates game room list information for the game room that allows the gamers 120 to access and provides the generated game room list information to the gamers 120. That is, the game room management means 260 creates a list (game room list information) about game rooms to which the gamers 120 can access in response to the poker game service providing request received from the one or more gamers 120, and the gamers Provided to 120. The game room refers to a virtual game space in which the poker game of the present invention is independently performed. The game room to which the gamers 120 can be connected may be a game room newly opened by another user or a game room that does not fill a predetermined garden. That is, the game room management unit 220 searches for and provides a game room where the gamers 120 may be provided with a poker game service when the gamers 120 are connected to the poker game providing system 200 according to the present invention. Allow gamers 120 to create new game rooms.

At this time, the game progress means 220 connects the gamers 120 to an arbitrary game room according to the selection of the gamers 120 for the game room list information, and is independent between a plurality of gamers 120 connected to the same game room. Control the poker game to be played. In addition, the winner determining means 240 retrieves the gamers' rating information using the genealogy identifier retrieved from the genealogy information database 230, and provides the rating information to the game progress means 220, thereby providing game progress means 220. ) Determines the order of distributing the poker poker hand or the winner gamers based on the rank information.

In addition, as another embodiment of the present invention, when a part of the point data is stored in another earning means and the genealogy possessed by the winner gamer is a predetermined grade or more, it will be described that the weighted payment of the stored point data to the winner gamers.

That is, in the poker game providing system 200 of the present invention, the point data having a predetermined size is accumulated in the earning means according to the betting of the gamers 120, and the point data of a predetermined ratio among the accumulated point data is not the earning means. Can be stored in another second earning means. The percentage value of the point data stored in the second earning means can be flexibly determined by the operator of the present system. In addition, the poker game providing system 200 may determine that the gamers of the gamers 120 determined to be winners are the point data accumulated in the second earning means when the genealogy identifiers of the gamers 120 determined to be winners by a win / loss decision algorithm are higher than or equal to a predetermined grade. Transfer to account For example, in the case where the set genealogy is set to 'flush or more', the poker game providing system 200 may collect a part of the point data accumulated in the earning means if the genealogy of the winner gamer does not satisfy the 'flush or more' regardless of the game win or lose. Record in the second means of credit. Then, if the end of any poker game and the genealogy of the winner's gamers meets the above condition 'Flush or more', for example, with a 'full house', it is present in the second earning means together with the point data of the accumulating means accumulated during the game. The accumulated point data may be provided to the winner gamer.

Therefore, according to the present invention, by retaining more than a certain level of genealogy so that more rewards are given to the gamers 120 who are winners, the gamers 120 may be motivated to continue the poker game and generated at a low probability. By giving higher weights to genealogy, you can increase your interest in the game.

In addition, as another embodiment of the present invention, when a specific poker hand is included in the genealogy of the winner gamers, an embodiment in which the weighted point data is compensated to the winner gamers will be described.

To this end, the game progress means 220 receives the 'mission completion condition' at the beginning of the game, for example, from an operator or any gamer 120 participating in the game, and wins the 'mission completion condition' after the end of the poker game. If the gamer satisfies, the game player may be provided with more point data than be accumulated during the game progress and accumulated in the earning means. In the present embodiment, one or more poker cards randomly set as the 'completion of a mission' are illustrated, and the same poker cards set as 'completion of a mission' are included among the poker cards constituting the genealogy of the gamers 120 determined as winners. If there is a hand, the game progress means 220 controls the point data to which the predetermined weight is applied to be transferred to the winner's gamer account. For example, the game progress means 220 is set when the ace of spades and hearts is set as the 'mission completion condition' by the operator of the present system, and the winner's genealogy is a pair of spades and heart aces combined. Multiplies the weighted value (eg, a value greater than 1) by the accumulated point data and provides it to the winner gamer.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to enhance the gamers' interest in the poker game by achieving a given task in the poker game to give more rewards to the winner.

The workflow of the poker game providing system 200 according to the present invention having such a configuration will be described in detail.

Subsequently, the poker game providing system 200 generates the combination data by combining the poker cards recorded in the gamer unique area, and searches the genealogy information database 230 for the genealogy identifier corresponding to the generated combination data to play the game. By providing to 220, a predetermined win / loss decision algorithm is controlled (S550). This step (S550) after the end of the poker game, combining the poker cards distributed to each of the gamers 120 to generate a genealogy of the highest grade, and using the generated genealogy to determine the winner gamers in the poker game to be.

In addition, the poker game providing system 200 accumulates the point data betted by the plurality of gamers 120 according to the game progress algorithm to a predetermined earning means, and determines the winner of the gamers 120 determined by the win / loss decision algorithm. The accumulated point data is transferred to the gamer account (S560). This step (S560) is a process of determining the gamers 120 having a relatively high grade genealogy as the winner gamers, and pays the winners points data accumulated by the bet in the poker game.

Therefore, according to the present invention, a game of the gamers 120 may be provided by providing a game of poker to a plurality of gamers online, and by providing a poker game service differentiated from the existing poker game while following the existing poker game. Increase your interest in
