In the electronic bingo card information memory section 121, the information of the electronic bingo card assigned to each player is stored. In the present embodiment, the information allocated to each of the squares of the electronic bingo card including 25 squares and 5 squares is memorized.

Next, the game flow of the game system 1 will be described. FIG. 3 is a timing chart showing the flow of the game in the game system 1. In the game device 10 and the dart board device 20, an application program for executing a bingo game is started. In addition, an application program for executing a bingo game in cooperation with the game device 10 is installed on the user terminal 30 of the player.

First, a player who wants to participate in a bingo game operates his own user terminal 30 and applies to the game device 10 to join the game (step S101). The application for entry to the game device 10 is made through a dedicated application installed on the user terminal 30. If acceptance is accepted in the game device 10, settlement processing such as participation fee is performed next (step S102), and if settlement is completed, an electronic bingo card for the player is issued (step S103).

An electronic bingo card is a system that assigns numbers to 25 squares, for example, 5×5, and issues different numbers for each player. The information of the issued electronic bingo card is stored in the electronic bingo card information storage unit 121 in association with player information (name, nickname, user ID, etc. registered at the time of joining). In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the information of the issued electronic bingo card is sent to the user terminal 30 of the player and displayed on its display device (step S104).

If the player participating in the game completes the joining (step S105: Yes), the bingo game starts (step S106).

First, in the dart board device 20 (or in the game device 10), a lottery player throwing a dart is drawn (step S107).

If the selected player throws a dart toward the dart target area 211 of the dart board device 20 (step S108: YES), the dart board device 20 calculates a score based on the partition stabbed by the dart and sends it to the game device 10 (step S109) ).

The game device 10 displays the received score as the selected number on the display 13 (step S110). In addition, the game device 10 transmits the selected number to each user terminal 30 (step S111). At each user terminal 30, if there is a square in the distributed electronic bingo card (a square to which the selected number has been received), it will correspond to the electronic bingo card displayed on the display device. Demonstration of filled squares etc. (step S112).

The game device 10 performs a check on the information of each player's electronic bingo card stored in the electronic bingo card information memory section 121 if there is a matching square (a square assigned with the selected number this time) The grid is updated to the processing of the matching grid (step S113).

Furthermore, the game device 10 is based on the information of each player's electronic bingo card memorized in the electronic bingo card information storage unit 121, if there is a bingo (it becomes a state where all the squares in a row of vertical/horizontal/oblique are centered) The established player (step S114: YES) performs a demonstration of bingo (step S115). Specifically, the display 13 displays information (name, registered nickname, image, etc.) of the player who established Bingo. In addition, the demonstration of bingo (the demonstration on the display device) can also be performed on the user terminal 30 of the player where the bingo is established.

The game device 10 ends the game (step S117) when the number of players who have established bingo reaches a certain number (step S116: YES). If the specific number has not been reached (step S116: No), the dart device 20 draws the next player who throws the darts (step S107).

In addition, if a player who has decided to throw a dart by lottery is selected, the dart board device 20 may inquire the game device 10 of the player's electronic bingo card status. Specifically, it asks whether the player is in a draw state (if the next square is centered, the state of bingo is established). The game device 10 confirms whether the player is in a draw state based on the information of the player's electronic bingo card stored in the electronic bingo card information memory section 121 and sends the result to the dart board device 20. In the case of the state of draw, the information of the grid (number) where bingo is established is sent together. The dart board device 20 may also perform a demonstration of a grid expressing the establishment of a bingo, such as flashing a zone corresponding to the grid where the bingo on the dart target area 211 is established, when the player is in a draw state.

In addition, the dart board device 20 may also obtain the information of the electronic bingo card of the player who throws the dart from the game device 10 in advance, in the case where the number of the target in the dart is the number contained on the electronic bingo card of the player Demonstration of flashing the entire dart target area 211, or the partition of the middle target.

(Production of Electronic Bingo Card) Next, the processing of the production of electronic bingo cards issued by the game device 10 to each player will be described. In this embodiment, the number selected in the bingo game is determined by darts, so there is a limit to the number that can be actually played. Figure 5 is a diagram illustrating the score of the dart board. First, the target is 50 points in the center area DB, and 25 points (or 50 points) in SB. When the target is in the area S, it is the score of the number written on the outer periphery of each. When the target is in area D, it is a score of twice the number written on the outer periphery. In addition, when the target is in the area T, it is a score of three times the number written on the outer periphery. Therefore, for example, the target score in the area T inside "20" is 60 points.

As such, since the number that can be generated as the score of the dart board is limited to 1-20, 2 times and 3 times of 1-20, 25, 50, the numbers allocated to each square of the electronic bingo card need to be from these Choose among the numbers. Furthermore, as is clear from FIG. 5, if the area of each area is considered different, the probability of the target in each area may also be considered different. For example, the one with the lowest probability of consideration is DB 50. Also, the probability of considering the target in the area T is lower than that in the area S. Furthermore, for example, in order to score 1 point, the target must be in the area S inside "1". In order to score 6 points, either the area S inside "6" or the area D inside "3" or The area T inside "2". In the present embodiment, the number of squares of the electronic bingo card is determined in consideration of the difference in the degree of difficulty according to the score as such.

Fig. 6 is a flowchart of the production process of an electronic bingo card. The game device 10 first sets a category in each square of a 5×5 (25 square) electronic bingo card (step S201). FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the setting of various categories of electronic bingo cards. In the example of FIG. 7, each square is divided into C1 by including several lines among the vertical (5)/horizontal (5)/oblique (2) lines that make bingo established ~C3 these three categories. Those classified as category C1 are included in a square in the center of 4 lines (1 vertical, 1 horizontal, and 2 diagonal). In addition, the category C2 is included in the grid of three lines (one vertical, one horizontal, and one diagonal). Category C3 is contained in a grid of 2 lines (one vertical and one horizontal).

Next, the game device 10 determines the number assigned to the square of the category C1 (step S202). The numbers are determined by considering the difference in difficulty (level) of each number of darts as described above. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating the rank of each number of darts. In the example of FIG. 8, the total surface area (total surface area) of the dart board area corresponding to each number is classified into grades 1 to 8. In addition, in the example of FIG. 8, the value of the total surface area when using a general soft dart board is displayed, but the size of the dart board is not limited to this, and the surface area value corresponding to each level is also accompanied by the dart board The size varies.

As shown in FIG. 8, level 1 is the number with the widest area (6, 12, 18) calculated using the three patterns of areas S, D, and T (see FIG. 5). Below, level 2 is the two patterns of areas S and D, level 3 is the two patterns of areas S and T, level 4 is the area S only, level 5 is the pattern of areas D and T 2 and level 6 is the area D or area only. SB (25), level 7 is only area T, level 8 is area DB (50), and the area gradually decreases. That is, the number of level 1 is the most likely to appear, and the number of level 8 is the most difficult to appear.

In the present embodiment, the game device 10 assigns the numbers selected by lottery among the numbers (levels 7 and 8) that are difficult to match for the square of the category C1.

Next, the game device 10 determines the number assigned to the square of the category C2 (step S203). For the squares of category C2, the numbers selected by the lottery among the numbers of levels 5 to 8 are assigned.

Furthermore, the game device 10 determines the number assigned to the square of the category C3 (step S204). For the squares of category C3, the numbers selected from the numbers 1 to 8 are selected by lot.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, in the game device 10, the status of each player's electronic bingo card is managed, and in the dart board device 20, the number of targets in the darts thrown by each player is selected as the target for the guest selection. Fruit game. When each player throws darts, he can use his electronic bingo card to set up a bingo as soon as possible to aim at the dart target. In this way, it is possible to provide a game that utilizes the characteristics of both dart games and bingo games and has high gameplay.

In addition, the game device 10 manages whether the electronic bingo card of each player is in a draw state. When the electronic bingo card of a player who wants to throw darts is in a draw state, since the dart board device 20 expressly corresponds to the established number of bingo Area, it can incite players who want to throw darts, so that the atmosphere of the venue is warm.

In addition, since the order of throwing the darts is determined by lottery, the gameplay can be further improved and the atmosphere can be heated.

When the game device 10 makes an electronic bingo card, the arrangement of the numbers of the bingo code is determined based on the ease of the target among the numbers on the dart board. In this way, it is possible to prevent the making of squares that completely miss the numbers (numbers that do not exist on the dart board), and prevent the bingo from being established too early (the number of digits in the target is concentrated), or vice versa. The situation where the number of Chinese targets is concentrated) occurs. In addition, it can prevent the difficulty of forming a bingo between players from being significantly different.

In addition, because the difficulty of the target among the numbers in the dart board is determined based on the size of the area corresponding to each number on the dart target area, the difficulty of the establishment of bingo and the score of the dart can be obtained The difficulty is matched to accurately and effectively determine the arrangement of the numbers of electronic bingo cards. In addition, the arrangement of the numbers of the electronic bingo card can also be randomly determined regardless of the difficulty of getting the dart score.

Furthermore, the game device 10 may determine the applicable number by including the squares in the row that establishes several bingo when making the electronic bingo card. That is, for the squares included in multiple rows, the target's establishment is set to a low number, and for the squares with a small number of included behaviors, the target's establishment is set to a high number. In this way, the more the square in the center or the square in the four corners is, the more difficult the player wants to align the square as soon as possible, and the game will be active.

In this embodiment, the electronic bingo card is displayed on the user terminal 30 of each player. However, the information of the electronic bingo card of each player may be displayed on the display 13 of the game device 10. Thereby, even a player who does not own the user terminal 30 can participate in the game. In addition, since the status of the electronic bingo cards of other players can also be observed, the competition among players can be incited. Furthermore, in this embodiment, a dart game in which a player actually throws a dart at the dart board device 20 is used, but for example, a virtual dart game executed in the game device 10 may be used.

Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and can be implemented in various other forms without departing from the gist of the present invention. Therefore, the above-mentioned embodiment is merely an illustration in all points, and not a restrictive interpreter. For example, the above-mentioned processing steps can be arbitrarily changed in order within the scope of the processing content without conflict, or can be executed in parallel. In addition, other steps may be added between each processing step. In addition, steps described as one step may be divided into a plurality of steps for execution, or steps described as a plurality of steps may be understood as one step.
