Description

Baccarat poker game method and casino game system supporting it}

The present invention relates to a baccarat poker game method and a casino game system supporting the same.

In the traditional baccarat game, the casino's theoretical (mathematical) rate of return is 1.23% on the bet amount, so it is marketed to customers to encourage them to bet repeatedly for as long as possible and to bet a high average bet amount, so that the actual casino's rate of return is as high as possible. Do it.

Promoters called junkets, who recruit customers for casinos, engage in customer attraction activities by paying a portion of the theoretical profit as a commission to customers based on the number of game participation and the amount of bets. Of course, the method of attracting customers is to limit the minimum dowry and minimum bet amount to encourage customers to continue playing in unfavorable situations.

In a typical poker game, two or more players compete to win or lose based on the combination of cards they have while increasing the amount of their bets. In order to proceed with the game, players must wait for other players to participate.

In a typical casino, a fee called rake is taken as a certain percentage of the bet amount. Unlike baccarat, it is not a game between the casino and the customer, but a game between the customer and the customer.

The electronic video poker game created by IGT in the U.S. in the 1990s draws five cards first, selects the card the customer wants to hold, then draws the card that cannot be held, and bases the bet amount on the combination (family tree) of the cards. Although it gained sensational popularity by developing a game with differential payouts, it was not introduced to general table games.

According to domestic and foreign casino-related laws, the payout ratio for gambling-related games must be 75% or higher.

In addition, mathematical standards for odds and game probability and mathematical probability must be secured based on the number of cases, and when the content is randomly performed tens to hundreds of millions of times, the error in mathematical probability is more than +/- 5% on average. should not be exceeded.

Domestic casino game companies do not disclose the method of statistical verification by detecting the number of mathematical cases in existing baccarat and poker games.

Hereinafter, a baccarat poker game method and a system supporting the same according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail based on the attached drawings.

First, the baccarat poker game method mentioned in the present invention may be a game that combines the rules of the general baccarat game and poker.

Additionally, the baccarat poker game method mentioned in the present invention may be a game method played using a card distribution system that automatically distributes casino playing cards to the player and banker in a non-contact manner.

First, a typical baccarat game is a game in which the dealer deals player and banker cards according to baccarat rules, then compares the sum of the card numbers, and the one closer to 9 wins.

The game rules of baccarat can be explained by the value of the playing cards shown in Figure 2.

Ace counts as 1, King, Queen, Jack, and 10 count as 0, and other cards from 2 to 9 count as the numbers displayed on the surface. If the sum is 10 or more, only the ones digit is calculated.

Additionally, the dividend conditions of general baccarat differ depending on the winning side, tie bet, and pair bet.

First, the winning side is paid 1 times the bet amount (however, if the banker wins, a 5% commission is deducted). For reference, no commission is deducted from the No Commission Table.

However, if the sum of the banker's cards is 6, a 50% commission is deducted.

Second, if the Tie Bet wins, you will receive 8 times the bet amount.

At this time, a Tie corresponds to the case where the sum of the cards of both the Player and the Banker is the same value.

Third, if the Pair Bet wins, you will receive 11 times the bet amount.

At this time, Pair corresponds to the case where the first two cards have the same number.

Below, we will briefly explain the Player rules and Banker rules in the baccarat game.

The player game rules are as follows.

If the sum of the player's first two cards is 0 to 5, he or she receives one more card. If the sum of the cards is 6 or 7, the player does not receive any more cards and competes with the banker. (Stand).

If the card sum is 8 or 9, the game is decided without both the Player and Banker receiving additional cards.

The banker game rules are as follows.

If the sum of the banker's first two cards is 3, the player receives an additional card if the third card is 0 ~ 7, or 9, and if it is 8, no additional card is received.

If the sum of the banker's first two cards is 4 and the player's third card is 2 to 7, an additional card is received, and if the player's third card is 0, 1, 8, or 9, no additional card is received.

If the sum of the banker's first two cards is 5 and the player's third card is 4 to 7, an additional card is received. If the number is 0, 1, 2, 3, 8, or 9, no additional card is received.

If the sum of the banker's first two cards is 7, the player does not receive any more cards and competes with the banker.

If the sum of the banker's first two cards is 8 or 9, the winner is decided without both the player and the banker receiving any additional cards.

Hereinafter, the baccarat poker game method proposed by the present invention and the casino game system that executes the same will be described in more detail.

Figure 5 is a flowchart explaining a baccarat poker game method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Figure 5, the baccarat poker game method (S700) according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a game betting process (S710), a baccarat game progress process (S720), and a bonus distribution process (S730).

The game betting process (S710) is a process of betting on one of the Player, Banker, and Tie displayed on the baccarat game table. At this time, 5% of the banker's dividend rate is not reimbursed as a commission.

Here, the bet amount is recognized as a pure bet amount only with 20% of the bet amount as a pre-commission, and a pre-designated odds ratio (e.g., 100% banker, 100% player, 400% tie) is paid.

For reference, the baccarat poker game presented here does not allow simultaneous betting on the banker and player sides.

Next, the baccarat game progress process (S720) provides playing cards in accordance with the baccarat game rules, uses a card distribution system to automatically distribute 2 or 3 playing cards to the player and banker in a non-contact manner, and automatically determines the win or loss. It may be a process of settling accounts.

The player and banker's game wins and losses are replaced by the baccarat game rules described above.

Here, the card distribution system 1000 rotates 52 casino playing cards according to the number of random rotations, and at least one card random distribution device 100 opens any one of the 52 casino playing cards at a preset position. ) and a central control server 200 that provides different random rotation numbers to each of the at least one card random distribution device 100.

More specific structures and functions of the card random distribution device and central control server 200 will be described later.

Next, the bonus dividend process (S730) may be a process of paying bonus dividends based on a combination of the corresponding card hands (2 to 3 player cards, 2 to 3 banker cards) after the win or loss is determined by the baccarat game.

The conditions for dividends according to the above card combinations are one pair (J pair or higher), two pair, 3 Kinds, 4 Cards, straight, flush, full house, straight flush, royal straight flush. Additional payouts are made according to the preset odds. It can be a process.

In other words, the baccarat poker game method mentioned in the present invention determines the win or loss between the player and the banker through the baccarat game, and then applies a combination of a total of 4 to 6 playing cards of the player and the banker as the poker game rules to receive additional dividends. It may be a method of playing the game.

The support stand 120 is manufactured as a pair (120-1, 120-2) and includes a circular coupling member coupled to the cylindrical rotating part 110 and a triangular support member separating the coupling surface from the ground.

One of the support stands 120 includes an accommodating space inside for mounting the signal processing board 140 and the rotation motor 130.

Referring to FIG. 4, the upper center of the support stand 120 may further include a friction member 120-3 that rubs against 52 rotating playing cards, and the friction member 120-3 rotates at a random number of rotations. It performs a function to help ensure that any one of the 52 rotated playing cards is stopped in an open state.

Next, the rotary motor 130 may be configured to rotate the cylindrical rotary part 110 by being coupled to the shaft of the coupler 111 fastened to the cylindrical rotary part 110 and rotating the coupler in one direction. The rotation motor 130 may include a gear composed of the same number of teeth as the number of fastening holes formed in the cylindrical rotating part 110 described above.

Therefore, since the number of toothed gears and the number of cards are the same, the type of card to be stopped can be predicted by the signal processing board 140 and/or the central control server 200 through the random rotation number.

Next, the signal processing board 140 receives the random number of rotations from the central control server 200 described above and then controls the number of gear rotations of the rotation motor 130 so that the rotation motor 130 rotates at the random number of rotations. It may be a configuration that does.

Meanwhile, in another embodiment of the present invention, the signal processing board 140 of the card random distribution device 100 generates a random number of rotations based on an enable signal provided from the outside, and operates the rotation motor with the generated random number of rotations. It can also be designed to control the gear rotation speed.

At this time, since the type of playing card exposed according to the random number of rotations is a fixed value, the central control server 200 can predict the type of card to be exposed to game participants through the random number of rotations generated by the signal processing board 140. .

Meanwhile, the enable signal, which is a signal to start generating the number of random spins, may be provided through a terminal installed on the dealer side or the player side.

Next, the central control server 200 is configured to provide at least one card random distribution device (information including game execution information and game participant information (table ID)) provided by an external terminal (e.g., an administrator terminal). It may be configured to provide a random number of rotations (100).

Additionally, the central control server 200 may be configured to designate a card random distribution device 100 to participate in the game based on game execution information and control the operation of the designated game random distribution device 100 to be activated.

It may be a configuration that does.

For example, if the game is baccarat and table No. is 1, the channel ID of the card random distribution device 100 located in the player area of table 1, the card random distribution device 100 located in the banker area ) may be configured to select the channel ID.

The random function generator 220 may be configured to generate a random function value for generating a random number of rotations in order to rotate 52 playing cards provided in a card random distribution device, which will be described later, at a random number of rotations.

For reference, the random function may be applied differently depending on the type of card game, card game probability, number of cards to be opened, etc.

For example, if the card game in question is baccarat, different random functions are applied to each of the three card distribution devices (P1, P2, and P3) in the player area, and the random functions applied to each of P1, P2, and P3 are the same. This may be a function value adjusted to prevent the card from being opened.

The random rotation speed generator 240 may be configured to generate a random rotation speed using a random function value.

For reference, as an example of random rotation, It is provided as (N, n is a natural number). Here, 52 is the total number of playing cards entered into the card random distribution device described later.

The random function correction unit 230 may be configured to provide a correction value for adjusting the random function value to the game probability coefficient set in the administrator terminal to the random function generator 220.
