Game device and jackpot switch control system

The invention relates to a jackpot, in particular to a jackpot switch control system.

Game consoles do not require dealers, there is no room for artificial cheating, and the manufacturing and management costs are low. It can be applied to a variety of games such as slot machines, poker games, Sic Bo and roulette, etc. Players are welcome, and in order to increase the sense of excitement and give players the feeling of winning a jackpot, the general gaming machine will have a design of a bonus server (commonly known as a bonus pool). Players will raise money every time they place a bet. A certain percentage of the bet amount is accumulated into the jackpot pool. When the game meets certain conditions, the player can get the jackpot in the jackpot pool, or obtain the qualification to enter a jackpot game, so as to obtain the prize based on the result of the jackpot game. The winnings in the winning pool will be attracted by the increasing winnings in the winning pool and continue to play the game machine.

In order to increase the number of winnings for players to attract players to play, the winnings of the winnings pool will have a multi-level design, that is, winnings pools can have multiple winnings, for example, they can be called separately As Mini, Minor, Major and Grand, they can have different start-up values and correspond to different prize values. The gold value is accumulated independently, and the eligibility of winning a prize or entering a prize game is calculated separately. Moreover, the winnings of the winning pool may be accumulated by multiple gaming machines, so there may be multiple players who have the opportunity to win winnings at the same time. These players need to go through additional winning games to determine the final winning of the winnings. Player.

However, for players with a large bet, if the time of the bonus game is in progress, they can only win a bonus value that is smaller than the payout value of the game result in the game, or after competing with other players. And ca n’t be the final winner. For those players with a large bet, it ’s easy to feel that it ’s better not to play a winning game, that is, they will want to give up the chance to win a winning game, because it takes time to play an additional winning game, However, the final reward may not be as expected. Even if the winnings are directly obtained, it may be the minimum winnings value. The minimum winnings value may be smaller than the payout value often won during the main game, which affects the bet amount. However, the rhythm of the game played by the players will affect the player's interest in playing.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to disclose a game device and a prize pool switch control system thereof, which can first determine a player's bet amount, and then turn on a prize prize that a player using the bet amount would expect, and at the same time, close a small prize amount. Gold awards, so that players wo n’t expect the prizes wo n’t be turned on to maintain the player ’s sense of rhythm while playing without affecting the player ’s interest in playing.

To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a jackpot switch control system, which connects a game device and a jackpot servo device. The game device has a processing operation unit, a betting interface and a game display interface. The processing operation unit generates a plurality of game results.

It can maintain the sense of rhythm when players play, and ensure that when prizes are won, It can meet the expectations of the players and will not affect the players' interest in playing.

The detailed description and technical contents of the present invention are described below with reference to the drawings:

The first embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4. It depicts the present invention as a jackpot switch control system 20. The jackpot switch control system 20 is connected to a game device 10 and一 彩 金 SERVICE device 30. The game device 10 has a processing operation unit 11, a betting interface 12, a game display interface 13, a scoring unit input port 14 and a scoring unit output port 15. The processing operation unit 11 generates a plurality of game results. The betting interface 12 is used by a player to generate a bet selection. In practical applications, the betting interface 12 may be a button or a touch screen. The game display interface 13 is a display screen for displaying the results of these games. In addition, the game display interface 13 can also be integrated with the betting interface 12 for players to place bets on a touch display screen. And review the game results. The scoring unit input port 14 is for players to put in banknotes or tokens, which is converted into money or points for players to play the game. When the player wants to stop the game, he then retrieves the remaining banknotes from the scoring unit output port 15. Or tokens.

When a player wants to play a game, he first puts in banknotes or tokens through the scoring unit input port 14 to obtain the amount or points required for playing the game. The game display interface 13 can display multiple different bets. The bet selection can be used by the player to make a selection on the betting interface 12 to play the game. When a game result is generated, the processing operation unit 11 randomly selects from the game results and displays it on the game display interface 13, and at the same time according to the game result Decide whether to pay the player. In addition to the payout of the game result, the player can also trigger a jackpot game based on the occurrence of specific symbols in the game result or because the game result meets certain rules, and then win the jackpot. The detailed description of the jackpot is as follows. The winning prize servo device 30 stores a plurality of winning prize values corresponding to the plurality of winning prizes 31, as shown in FIG. 4. For example, the winning prize 31 includes a mini prize, a minor prize, and a grand prize ( Major and Grand.

The jackpot switch control system 20 includes an enabling threshold computing element 21, a control computing unit 22 and a closing element 23. The enabling threshold computing element 21 captures the bet that the player places on the betting interface 12. Select and generate at least one activation threshold according to a specified operation method.

The control arithmetic unit 22 executes a judgment procedure as follows: a) extracting the at least one activation threshold value and the winning value; b) comparing the winning value and the at least one activation threshold value, when at least one of the Generating an activation signal when the winning value corresponds to the at least one activation threshold; and c) transmitting the activation signal to the winning server 30 so that the winning value corresponding to the at least one activation threshold The jackpot award 31 is in a state that can be triggered.

The aforementioned bonus prize 31 that can be triggered can be decided according to various game settings at present whether to pay the player. Therefore, in the process of playing the game, players can not only randomly win the basic compensation of the game results, but also have the opportunity to win prizes.

The judgment procedure further includes: when at least one of the winnings values does not correspond to the at least one enabling threshold value, the control arithmetic unit 22 controls the closing element 23 to generate a closing signal, and transmits the closing signal to the lottery The gold servo device 30 keeps the winning prize 31 without at least one such winning value corresponding to the at least one activation threshold value in a closed state. In this way, when there is no corresponding threshold for the activation of the winnings, the winnings 31 can be ensured to be closed, so that it is possible to avoid players who bet big to get small winnings 31. In other embodiments of the present invention, the jackpot switch control system may only include an enable threshold calculation element and a control calculation unit, and the foregoing determination procedure for the control calculation unit 22 to control the shutdown element 23 to generate a shutdown signal may be omitted. .

It should be noted that each time the player changes the bet selection, the activation threshold calculation element 21 will re-execute the aforementioned determination procedure according to the specified calculation method, and generate the activation threshold value corresponding to the change again, so that the corresponding The winning prize of 31 is in a state that can be triggered, and the winning prize of 31 that does not correspond to the changed activation threshold is closed, and will not be triggered and the player will win.

The specified calculation method of the activation threshold is determined by integrating calculations based on game characteristics, local needs, player expectations, and rules of thumb. The signal of the player's bet selection can come from the bet option, bet multiple or total bet. The threshold calculation element 21 forms the activation threshold value by using a function calculation conversion or data look-up table for the signal selected by the bet, and the control arithmetic unit 22 compares the activation threshold value with the prize value of the multiple prize 31 , And the corresponding one or more winning prizes 31 generate an activation signal, and notify the winning server 30 to set the corresponding one or more winning prizes 31 to a state that can be triggered. On the other hand, if there is no corresponding one or more winning prizes 31, the control arithmetic unit 22 notifies the closing element 23 to generate a closing signal, and transmits the closing signal to the winning servo device 30, so that there is no corresponding one. One or more of the prizes 31 are closed.

Alternatively, the activation threshold calculation element 21 first calculates a bet amount according to the bet selection calculation, and then directly multiplies the bet amount by a specific multiple to determine the activation threshold value for opening and closing. For example, the activation threshold calculation element 21 may directly set 2 times the bet amount as the activation threshold value. When the control arithmetic unit 22 determines that the initial value of the prize amount is greater than 2 times the bet amount, it transmits The enable signal is sent to the bonus server device 30 to turn on the bonus prize 31 corresponding to the bonus value, so that it can be triggered; on the other hand, if the control arithmetic unit 22 judges that the bonus value is less than the bet amount When it is twice, the control operation unit 22 controls the closing element 23 to generate a closing signal, and closes the winning prize 31 corresponding to the winning value, so that it cannot be triggered. The 2x here is just an example, and it can also be set to 1.3x, 3x, or 5x. The better, the multiplier can be determined according to the expectations of players in each place or the profit target of the game venue.

In practice, the bet selection includes a bet option, a bet multiple, or a total bet (BET). The bet option can be applied to a wheel game or a specific line game. ). In terms of the wheel direction payment game, as shown in the game display interface 13 of FIG. 3, this game provides all wheel direction payment, that is, 243 wheel directions (three to the fifth power), and five bets are provided on the left side. Options are 8, 18, 38, 68, 88. Players can select different betting options to open or close the prize pool for different awards, such as Mini, Minor, and Major. ) And Grand Prize, and the right side of the game display interface 13 provides five multiple options, including 1, 2, 3, 6, 10, etc., and the total bet points calculation is 8, 18 on the left. , 38, 68, 88 and other five bet selections selected by the player, multiply by the right one of the five bet multiples selected by the player 1, 2, 3, 6, 10. As shown in the example shown in Figure 3, the player selects 88 betting options (box selection), and 10 times the bet multiple (box selection). The total bet is the left 88 times the right 10, which is the picture. Shown in 880.

Please refer to FIG. 4 again, in which the game device 10 can be connected to a jackpot display interface 16; in actual application, the game device 10 has the aforementioned game display interface 13 (that is, a display screen), It is also connected to an additional display screen that is independent of the gaming device, that is, the prize award display interface 16, and the game device 10 obtains the prize values of the prize awards 31 from the prize server 31 and the available prizes. The winning prize 31 in the triggered state is transmitted to the winning prize display interface 16. The winning prize 31 is displayed in the winning prize display interface 16 and the winning prize 31 in the triggerable state is For highlighting.

In addition, please refer to FIG. 3 again. In another embodiment, the winning prizes 31 may be directly displayed on the game display interface 13 so that the game results and the winning prizes 31 are displayed at the same time at the same time. A display screen; or, the game device 10 has two screens at the same time, displaying the game results and the prizes 31 respectively. Regardless of whether the game display interface 13 is a single display screen or two more display screens, the jackpot award 31 which can be triggered is highlighted to attract the attention of players.

Taking the examples in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 as an example, the jackpot award 31 that can be triggered is only the major award and the grand award. There are multiple ways of highlighting, such as using a higher brightness display; or changing the brightness and darkness, the prize 31 that is turned on is displayed with higher brightness, and the prize 31 that is not turned on is darker; or it can be turned off The winning prize of 31 is added with symbols such as a cross, a chain and a lock; or the opened winning prize of 31 is enlarged. The above-mentioned highlighting manner is merely an example, and the actual application aspect of the present invention is not limited thereto.

Based on the above, the present invention can open or close the winning prize 31 according to the bet selection. In other words, when the bet value is high, the winning prize 31 with a small winning value is closed, so as to avoid being triggered by the player to affect the game rhythm. . The betting options corresponding to Figure 3 are listed below. The betting options are divided into 8, 18, 38, 68, and 88, and the corresponding winning prizes 31 are divided into Mini, Minor, and Major. And Grand Prize. With the prize pool switch control system of the present invention, after different betting options are calculated and judged, corresponding prizes 31 can be opened and closed. For example, when the betting option is 8, only Mini is turned on; the betting option is At 18:00, Mini and Minor are enabled; when the betting option is 38, Minor and Major are enabled; when the betting option is 68, Major and Maxi are enabled; when the betting option is 88, Maxi and Grand are enabled Species. The correspondence between opening and closing of the prize 31 can also be implemented in other ways, depending on actual needs.

The control arithmetic unit 22 can execute the judgment procedure independently for these prize values, because each bet selection may correspond to more than one prize value, the control arithmetic unit 22 must select the selected bet. Individual judgment procedures. The above-mentioned individual judgment procedures may seem complicated, but it is well known that the program executes extremely fast. When the user changes the bet selection, the game display interface 13 can directly display the open or closed winning prizes 31.

Please also refer to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, respectively. The game screens 40A and 40B are used to explain the design of the first embodiment applied to the roller direction payment game. It is to open different numbers of rollers (REEL) to allow players to switch between different The betting option offers different numbers of wheel directions to pay for play. For example, as shown in Figure 5, only one wheel is turned on (the REELS number on the left is marked with a thick frame to indicate that it is turned on, and the dashed line is not turned on), while Figure 6 turns on all five wheels, so that if different numbers of wheels are turned on, players need to invest different bets. The amount or points, and not necessarily the bet amount or points increased by the same number of times depending on the number of rollers turned on, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6, the roller direction payment game design allows players to choose to turn on a different number of rollers At the same time, it can correspondingly open or close the prizes of different prizes31. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, it has fewer wheels, so it can only open small prizes and winning prizes 31; that is, the threshold calculation element 21 is enabled to capture the bet selection that only opens one wheel. After the at least one activation threshold value is generated according to the designated calculation method, the control arithmetic unit 22 executes a judgment procedure, so that the winning server 30 only opens the two winning prizes 31 of the corresponding small prize and winning. As shown in FIG. 6, it turns on all the scroll wheels, so it is to close the small prizes and winning prizes 31, and to open the big prizes and grand prizes 31 at the same time; that is, the threshold calculation element 21 is enabled to capture the player to open all After the bet selection of the five rollers generates at least one activation threshold value according to the specified calculation method, the control calculation unit 22 executes a judgment procedure, so that the winnings servo device 30 generates at least one according to the specified calculation method. After the threshold is activated, the control calculation unit 22 executes a judgment procedure, so that the winning servo device 30 closes the small and winning prizes 31 in response to the activation signal and the closing signal received, and simultaneously opens the big and grand prizes. Jackpot Awards 31.

Please refer to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 respectively. The game screens 40C and 40D are used to explain the design of the first embodiment applied to a specific online payment game. As shown in FIG. 7, the player only selects the game settings. 1 connection method (the LINES number on the left is marked with a thick box to indicate that it is on, and the dashed line indicates that it is not on), and as shown in Figure 8, the player selects the specific 20 connection methods set by the game at this time, Figure 7, Figure 8 The connections shown only appear briefly when the player selects the connection method to bet. Therefore, when the player chooses the connection method of the desired bet from these specific 20 connection methods (that is, selects the bet option of the desired bet), it also corresponds to the connection selected by the player. There are 31 ways to open or close the prizes of different prizes. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the player selects only the bottom 1 line, so he only opens the small prize 31 of the small prize; that is, the threshold calculation element 21 is enabled to retrieve the bet that only bet 1 line. After selecting, at least one activation threshold value is generated according to the designated calculation method, the control arithmetic unit 22 executes a judging procedure, so that the winning server 30 only turns on the corresponding small prize such as the winning prize 31. As shown in FIG. 8, the player selects the top 20 lines, so he closes the small and winning prizes 31 and simultaneously opens the big and huge prizes 31; that is, the threshold calculation element 21 is enabled to capture After the player bets the bet selection of all 20 connection methods, after generating at least one activation threshold value according to the specified calculation method, the control calculation unit 22 executes a judgment procedure, so that the winnings servo device 30 according to the designation After at least one activation threshold value is generated by the calculation method, the control arithmetic unit 22 executes a judging procedure, so that the bonus server device 30 closes the small prize and the winning prize 31 in response to the activation signal and the closing signal received. Open the grand prize and grand prize of 31 prizes.

Also, as mentioned above, each of the game results of the present invention may have a basic payout amount, and the designated calculation method according to the enable threshold calculation element 21 may generate the at least one enable threshold value based on the bet selection and the payout amounts. . Because different bet options (betting options, bet multiples, or total bets) will make the payout value of the game result different, the payout value is converted by the exchange rate (denomination), which is the payout amount. As a result of the design of the probability of general games, the most commonly paid amount for players may be 0 (without winning), and other odds of lower odds, for example, may be 0.05 to 2430 times the bet amount. In other words, in most cases, the payout is The amount is multiples less than 1 or 0 (no winning). For example, for example, a wheel-oriented payout game has five rollers, each of which randomly selects three consecutive symbols to display, and the total bet is divided into 500, and a symbol appears on one of the five rollers. It is 5000, so when this symbol appears on three of the five rollers, it is the fifth power of 3, which is 243, 243x5000 / 500 = 2430, which is 2430 times the aforementioned. It should be noted that this example is all It is stated in credits instead of amounts. After the foregoing points are converted by exchange rates, the multiples remain unchanged. This is because different games will design different payout multiples. For example, some games mostly have no winning points, but there are still games with specific multiples that are more common. For example, the game result of game A is 1.5 times more likely to appear, and the game result of game B is 3 times more likely. In theory, the latter will have a lower probability than the former, that is, two different games. For the second-highest, the two times-higher odds will have a higher chance of appearing than the low-times.

Based on the above, in the implementation form of the first embodiment of the present invention, the designated calculation method adopted by the threshold calculation element 21 may be to first determine what the player's bet selection is, and refer to the current payout value of various game results and the exchange rate. The converted payment amount. Next, determine the current bet selection amount, extract the player return rate of this machine and the appearance probability of each game result, and calculate the appearance probability of various payment amounts. Except for the case where the payment amount is 0, the Multiples with a high probability of 2 ~ 5, choose one or two or three to average, then multiply by the bet amount as the threshold for activation. When the control arithmetic unit 22 judges that the starting value of the winning value is greater than the enabling threshold value, it generates an enabling signal and transmits it to the winning server 30 to open the winning prize 31 corresponding to the winning value. So that it can be triggered; on the other hand, if the control operation unit 22 determines that the initial value of the winning value of the winning value is less than the activation threshold value, the control operation unit 22 controls the closing element to generate a The shutdown signal is transmitted to the winnings servo device 30 to close the winnings prize 31 corresponding to the winnings value, so that it cannot be triggered.

In yet another implementation aspect of the first embodiment of the present invention, the designated calculation method may be at least one of the probability of the plurality of game results corresponding to the game result according to the winning value, according to the bonus value. One, at least one of the plural payout values corresponding to the probability of the outcome of the games is calculated as an average payout amount, and the average payout amount is multiplied by a multiple to generate the at least one activation threshold.

In more detail, in one of the implementations of this embodiment, the designated calculation method is that the threshold calculation element 21 calculates the average payment amount based on the game result probability, the corresponding payment value of the game result, and the exchange rate. The average payment amount is multiplied by a multiple as the activation threshold value, and the control arithmetic unit 22 then uses this activation threshold value to compare with each prize value. The average payment amount multiplied by multiples can be 1, or greater than 1, or less than 1, depending on actual demand. In addition, the activation threshold calculation element 21 may also take only the probability of a specific game result and the corresponding payout value, and then cooperate with the exchange rate to calculate the average payout amount. The so-called specific game results here are, for example, only looking at the top three payouts, or those with odd payouts staggered, such as those in the top 1, 3, and 5.

Based on the above, the specified calculation method adopted by the prize pool switch control system 20 of the present invention can adjust the initial prize value, the proportion of withdrawal, the probability of the game result, and the corresponding payment of the game result according to the preferences of players in different countries and regions. The value of the parameter.

In addition, the prize pool switch control system 20 may further include an enabling threshold data table, and each winning prize 31 is provided with an increment. The designated computing method according to which the enabling threshold calculation element 21 is based on the bet Choose to multiply these transfer ratios to generate the at least one activation threshold value from the activation threshold data table. Or, in other implementation forms, the designated calculation method according to the activation threshold calculation element 21 is to multiply the bet selection by the withdrawal ratios, and then multiply by an adjustment magnification to generate the at least one activation threshold. value.

That is, the processing operation unit 11 calculates the total betting points for each bet selection made by the player, converts them to the bet amount through the exchange rate, and multiplies them by a withdrawal ratio, and distributes and accumulates them to each. Jackpot Awards 31. This percentage may vary according to different betting options and betting multiples. In addition, the activation threshold calculation element 21 can obtain the corresponding withdrawal ratio for each bet selection of the player, and then can be directly used as the activation threshold value according to the withdrawal ratio, or converted into the allocated amount and used as the activation. Threshold.

List a detailed calculation example and explain as follows: it sets the bet selection to bet multiples, and the bet multiples are 10, 20, 40, 70, 90. By selecting different bet multiples, it will change (that is, On or Off) Winning prizes 31 that can be triggered. Assume that there are five types of winning prizes 31 in this example: Grand, Maxi, Major, Minor, and Mini, and the proportion of each bet amount corresponding to each winning prize 31 is 0.01 and 0.05 respectively. , 0.1, 0.2, 0.25 (for example only, not actual setting), the corresponding relationship between the stake multiple and the amount of withdrawal is as follows:

Therefore, it can be designed that when the activation threshold calculation element 21 calculates the total amount of the current bet selection to be 6.1, after the control operation unit 22 executes the judgment process, the winnings servo device 30 responds to the activation signal or at the same time In response to the closing signal, only the Mini is turned on to be triggered, and the other is turned off and cannot be triggered. When the threshold calculation element 21 calculates the total amount of the bet selection for the current bet selection to be 12.2, it passes through the control arithmetic unit 22 After the judging procedure is executed, the bonus servo device 30 should only enable Minor in response to the activation signal or also close the signal at the same time. When the activation threshold calculation element 21 calculates the total amount of the current bet selection, it is 24.4. , After the control arithmetic unit 22 executes the judgment procedure, the bonus server 30 responds to the activation signal or also closes the signal, and only turns on Major to be triggered; when the activation threshold calculation element 21 calculates the current bet selection When the total amount raised is 42.7, after the control operation unit 22 executes the judgment procedure, the winnings servo device 30 responds to the startup The signal may also be turned off in response to the signal being turned off. Only the Maxi can be triggered when the enable threshold calculation element 21 calculates the total amount of the current bet selection to be 54.9. After the control calculation unit 22 executes the judgment procedure In response to the signal being enabled or the signal being turned off at the same time, the prize server 30 only turns on Grand to be triggered.

Another design is that, if the total value of the allocated funds calculated by the activation threshold calculation element 21 is 6.1, after the control operation unit 22 executes the judgment procedure, the winnings servo device 30 should respond to the activation signal or also close the signal at the same time. Keep all winnings awards 31 closed and cannot be triggered; when the threshold calculation element 21 calculates the total amount of the current bet selection to be 12.2, after the control operation unit 22 executes the judgment procedure, the winnings servo device 30 In response to the activation signal or at the same time the signal is turned off, turning on the Mini is in a triggerable state; when the activation threshold calculation element 21 calculates the total amount of the current bet selection to be 24.4, the control arithmetic unit 22 executes a judgment After the program, the winnings servo device 30 can be triggered in response to the activation signal or the signal is turned off at the same time, and the Mini and Major are turned on at the same time; when the activation threshold calculation element 21 calculates the current bet selection, the total amount raised is 42.7 , After the control arithmetic unit 22 executes the judging procedure, the winnings servo device 30 should respond to the activation signal or close the signal at the same time. , Close Mini and Major, and enable Minor and Maxi to be triggered; when the threshold calculation component 21 calculates the total amount of the current bet selection to be 54.9, the bonus server 30 responds to the activation signal or at the same time In response to the signal being closed, in addition to keeping Minor and Maxi turned on and being able to be triggered, moreover, turning on Grand to be able to be triggered.

The withdrawal amount of each bet set by the above-mentioned player is set as the bonus withdrawal value. The activation threshold calculation element 21 calculates the corresponding amount to be raised for each prize award 31 in advance as the activation threshold value. Therefore, each time the player bets the amount of the bonus being raised, there will be different possibilities depending on different betting options. The activation threshold calculation element 21 compares it with a preset activation threshold value. The winning prize servo device 30 may decide to turn on or off the corresponding winning prize 31 according to the activating signal transmitted by the activating threshold calculation element 21 or even referring to the closing signal generated by the closing element 23. In order to facilitate comparison, the above-mentioned withdrawal amount to be set for the winning prize 31 which is decided to be opened or closed may be aggregated as an activation threshold data table. The above-mentioned threshold value of the bonus to be set for determining whether to open or close the bonus prize 31 can be used as the threshold by multiplying it by a multiple.
