5 illustrates a poker wheel game providing process according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, when the poker wheel game request signal is input from the game terminal 110, the game server 150 transmits the poker wheel game main screen information to the game terminal 110 in response thereto (S501 and S502). Here, the poker wheel game main screen information includes game selection information including the type and method guide screen of the game. Meanwhile, the game terminal 110 displays the poker wheel game main screen information (S503) and waits for a user operation input. The game terminal 110 receives the game selection information (S504) and transmits it to the game server 150 (S505).

When game selection information is input from the game terminal 110, the game server 150 transmits the selected game information, for example, game screen information including a game start menu and a poker wheel screen, to the game terminal 110 (S506). Here, the poker wheel screen provided by the game server 150 has a poker card board on which poker cards are displayed at equal intervals on the circumference so that patterns and numbers do not overlap, and a position corresponding to each poker card of the poker card board. It includes a plurality of pockets displayed at equal intervals.

When the game start command is input from the game terminal 110 (S507), the game server 150 transmits game screen information including the poker wheel driving screen to the game terminal 110 (S508). When the ball launch information is input from the game terminal 110 (S509), the game server 150 determines a poker card to be used for the poker wheel game currently in progress by activating the random generator (S510). Thereafter, the game server 150 may display game screen information including a screen on which the ball is launched and moved to the poker wheel and a screen in which the ball is dropped in the pocket corresponding to the poker card according to the poker card information determined in step S510. 110) (S511).

Thereafter, the game server 150 transmits additional information including the poker card information and the betting information for the poker wheel game progress to the game terminal 110 (S512). On the other hand, the game terminal 110 displays the poker card information and betting information confirmation and waits for the user operation input. When the game terminal 110 receives the betting information (S513) and transmits it to the game server 150 (S514). Of course, the user may abandon the bet and wait for the current poker wheel game to end. The game server 150 transmits the results of the poker wheel game between the plurality of game terminals to the game terminal (S515).

6 illustrates a poker wheel game providing process according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

First, when the poker wheel game request signal is input from the game terminal 110, the game server 150 transmits the poker wheel game main screen information to the game terminal 110 in response thereto (S601 and S602). Here, the poker wheel game main screen information includes game selection information including the type and method guide screen of the game. Meanwhile, the game terminal 110 displays the poker wheel game main screen information (S603) and waits for a user operation input. The game terminal 110 receives the game selection information (S604) and transmits it to the game server 150 (S605).

When game selection information is input from the game terminal 110, the game server 150 transmits the selected game information, for example, game screen information including a game start menu and a poker wheel screen, to the game terminal 110 (S606). Here, the poker wheel screen provided by the game server 150 has a poker card board on which poker cards are displayed at equal intervals on the circumference so that patterns and numbers do not overlap, and a position corresponding to each poker card of the poker card board. It includes a plurality of pockets displayed at equal intervals. Meanwhile, the game terminal 110 displays a game start menu and game screen information input from the game server 150 and waits for a user operation input. Subsequently, when the game terminal 110 receives the betting information including the poker grade selection information and the betting amount information desired to be won (S607), it transmits it to the game server 150 (S608).

The game server 150 temporarily stores the betting information input from the game terminal 110, and when a game start command is input from the game terminal 110 (S609), the game screen information including the poker wheel driving screen is displayed. 110 to transmit (S610). When the ball launch information is input from the game terminal 110 (S611), the game server 150 determines a poker card to be used for the poker wheel game currently in progress by activating the random generator (S612). Thereafter, the game server 150 may display game screen information including a screen on which the ball is launched and moved to the poker wheel and a screen in which the ball is dropped in a pocket corresponding to the poker card according to the poker card information determined in step S612. 110) (S613).

After that, the game server 150 analyzes the poker card information to confirm the poker grade, and determines the winning bet according to whether the confirmed poker grade matches the poker grade selectively input from the user terminal (S614). The poker wheel game providing device 520 transmits the betting winning result to the game terminal 110 (S615). In this specification, a poker class should be interpreted as a collective term for poker terms such as one pair, two pair, triple, flush, straight and the like. In this embodiment, the gamer starts a poker wheel game after betting 50 thousand won for two pairs, two hundred thousand won for a triple, and ten thousand won for a straight.

In an embodiment, the step S615 of transmitting the result of the betting win to the game terminal 110 calculates the amount of winning the bet by multiplying the addition point according to the poker level of the winning bet and the amount of the bet previously input from the game terminal 110. The method may further include transmitting the calculated betting winning amount information to the game terminal 110. In the present specification, the addition point according to the poker grade means a kind of betting winning bonus. Here, the additional points according to the poker grade, for example, according to the setting of the poker wheel game providing device manager, 1 pair winning, 2 pair winning 2 times, triple winning 3 times, straight winning 4 times, flush When winning, it can be decided by 5 times.

As described above, the poker wheel game providing apparatus according to the present invention introduces a poker wheel to an existing poker game to drive the poker wheel during game play, and to launch the ball on the poker wheel. By providing a new poker game that determines the winner with a poker card of a pocket in which a plurality of balls are dropped, a user can check a hand by flipping an existing card using a game terminal in which the poker wheel game providing device of the present invention is implemented. There is a useful effect that allows you to enjoy a new poker game that is much more dynamic than you've ever had.

In addition, the poker wheel game providing apparatus according to the present invention has a useful effect that can be implemented in the game server to provide a poker wheel game to a plurality of game terminals at the same time online.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the accompanying drawings, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that many various obvious modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the invention from this description. Therefore, it should be interpreted by the claims described to include many such variations.
