Description

Game console control module and game console

The present invention belongs to the technical field of a game device, and specifically refers to a game machine control module and a game machine, thereby enabling the game machine to have a network connection function for remote management of the game machine and adding game modes and Interaction to improve its entertainment.

According to, in recent years, to help people effectively relieve the pressure of life, there are various game machines on the street, shops, and playgrounds for people to entertain and decompress, such as vending machines, shooting machines, and dancing machines. Among them, the selection vending machine is mainly located in a storage space with a falling object opening in a machine, and there are many objects (such as plush dolls, electronic products, etc.) placed in the storage space. The machine is placed in parallel There is a gripping mechanism [including gripper and moving crane] above the storage space, and the gripper movement of the gripping mechanism is controlled by the operating mechanism [including direction rocker and lower gripper button] on the machine for selection And grab the item you want to buy, and move the item to the falling object opening in the storage space. If the item can be smoothly dropped into the falling object opening, the player can obtain the item; but this type of vending machine only It is limited to grabbing items. When the value cost of the provided items is too low, it will be difficult to attract players. If the value cost is too high, it will cause losses to the merchant. Therefore, it must reduce the chance of winning, and it will also lose the player’s interest in the long run. Attractive. Furthermore, when items become less and less or popular items are caught, It will also reduce the player's willingness to play, thereby diminishing the economic benefits of the vending machine. In addition to the item selection vending machine, in addition to providing item selection games, it is limited by regulations and cannot randomly control the winning rate. Therefore, its use and variability are restricted for players, and it is difficult to provide merchants for marketing or Promotional activities have great room for improvement. In recent years, the Internet has developed rapidly since its commercialization. Compared with traditional game consoles that cannot be connected to the Internet, the Internet can bring players and businesses benefits. Including: more diverse game modes, promotion options, payment methods and remote management, etc. In other words, if the advantages and characteristics of the Internet can be used on the selection vending machine, it is believed that the selection vending machine can create more novel and interesting games, so as to increase the consumer appeal to players and bring new business opportunities. And improve its economic efficiency.
