Description

Game system

The present invention relates to providing a frame with an arrangement surface provided with an arrangement amusement body and an action means for carrying out a conveying action for conveying the arrangement surface of the amusement body to a predetermined position. An action control means that controls the player’s play behavior in response to the play behavior. Through the aforementioned action means, when the amusement body is transported to a predetermined position, a gift is given to the user’s gift to obtain a game system for the game.

There is a conveying action provided with a frame provided with an arrangement surface provided with an arrangement amusement body and an action means for executing a conveying action for conveying the amusement body on the arrangement surface to a predetermined position. A game system in which an action control means that controls the play action during the play action, through the action means, when the amusement entity is transported to a predetermined position, gives a gift to the user to obtain a gift for the game system. For example, as this kind of entertainment and action means, it is known to use the gift itself and the conveyor belt (belt conveyor) to arrange a gift on a conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt can respond to the slot When the amount of conveyance as a result of the slot game advances or retreats, and the bonus is conveyed to one end, the bonus dropped from the end is given to the game device of the player (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). In addition, there are Patent Documents 2 and 3 as prior art documents related to the present invention. [Prior Technical Literature] [Patent Literature]

[Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent No. 3857851 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent No. 6375000 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent No. 6375001

[The problem to be solved by the invention]

In the game of Patent Document 1, the conveyor belt is prepared for each gift, so the size of the gift depends on the size of the conveyor belt. Therefore, for example, when an article larger than a conveyor belt is used as a gift, there is a possibility that the transportation of the gift may be hindered. In order to eliminate the possibility of such obstacles (inappropriate), there is a high possibility that the conveyor belt is required to be prepared according to the size or shape of the gift, or the gift is limited to items that can be placed on the conveyor belt. . At least, there is only a fixed conveyor belt, and there is a possibility that the form of the gift will cause restrictions.

Similarly, in the game devices of Patent Documents 2 and 3, the bonus itself is still used as an amusement body. On the other hand, in this game device, the bonus is a plurality of bonus support parts that operate by changing the exposed area of the opening, and the opening is supported from below, and the support of the bonus is released by the action of this bonus support part At time, the gift falls from the opening to the gift outlet, and the dropped gift is given to the player from the gift outlet. In the situation of this kind of organization, the size of the opening needs to be designed in a way that is related to the size of the gift. Specifically, compared with the gift, if the opening is made too large, there is a possibility that the support of the gift cannot be performed appropriately, or the relationship between the action of the gift support department and the drop of the gift may become unexpected. Because of the use of such openings, although the game device does not have a structure for transporting gifts like the game device of Patent Document 1, the form of the gifts is still highly likely to depend on the size of the opening and the bonus support part. As a result, although it is necessary to prepare an opening (in other words, a game device) corresponding to the shape of the gift, or to limit the gift to items that can be arranged in the opening, there is still a possibility that the shape of the gift may be restricted.

In addition, the game devices of Patent Documents 1 to 3 belong to the type of bonus acquisition games that aim to obtain gifts through actions by means of action. The type of giveaway game. In this kind of gift-acquiring game of the type of gift-carrying gifts, most of the gift-carrying process caused by this kind of action means and the skill or ability of operating this kind of action means have a function as a part of the fun of the game.

However, in the game device of Patent Document 1, one gift is arranged on one conveyor belt, and the gift will be conveyed with the movement of the conveyor belt, so the possibility of unexpected development during the conveying process is low. Specifically, for example, when it is configured to capture the gift by means of action, the gift is released from the captured state during the transportation process and cannot be transported to the predetermined location for the gift. With this liberation, the location of the gift When the relationship develops with a change in the arrangement angle, etc., it changes into a situation that is easy to capture or difficult to capture, or there are multiple gifts, because of the positional relationship with these gifts, it becomes easy to capture or difficult to capture. The granting of gifts has become easier, which actually creates the possibility of the unexpected development of the granting of other gifts. In many cases, this possibility gives users a stimulus and contributes to a part of the fun. However, in the situation of Patent Document 1, the possibility of such a situation development is low. In addition, the movement of the conveyor belt is automatically controlled in response to the result of slotting. Therefore, although the player can participate in the determination of the transport amount through slotting, it is not actually an operation to move the conveyor belt. As a result, there is little room for the player's skills or abilities to be reflected in the movement of such conveyor belts.

On the other hand, in the game devices of Patent Documents 2 and 3, the bonus support part of the action target in the plural bonus support part is determined by the player's operation, so it may be said that it is based on the user's skill, etc., the type of operation means Giveaway to get the game. Therefore, there may be room for reflecting the player's skills and so on in the process of determining the bonus support section of the action target. However, the gift support section only operates by changing from the supported state to the unsupported state, and the movement of the gift to the gift outlet mainly depends on gravity, so it is not the game that the gift is transported by means of action to obtain the game. As a result, the transport process due to the action means does not occur, and of course the fun accompanying the transport process does not occur. Therefore, there is still room for enhancing the fun of the game obtained by giving away gifts.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a game system that can increase the degree of freedom of items that can be used as amusement bodies. [Means to solve the problem]

Hereinafter, an example of a game system of one aspect of the present invention will be explained. First, referring to FIG. 1, the overall structure of a game system according to one aspect of the present invention when it is constructed as a game machine will be described. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the gaming machine 1. The game machine 1 is an example of a game device, and is configured as a commercial (business) game machine that allows the user to play games within a range corresponding to the game play fee at the expense of payment of a predetermined play fee. Such a game machine 1 may be called an arcade machine. The game machine 1 is a computer device installed in a predetermined facility for the main purpose of repeatedly allowing most users to play games repeatedly to increase revenue.

The gaming machine 1 is configured as a gift game (a gift obtaining game) to be played for the purpose of obtaining a gift. Gift games are based on a variety of action methods that act in response to the user's play behavior. When the amusement body (mostly the situation of the gift itself, but also the situation of using other predetermined media other than the gift) moves to a predetermined position, Give gifts to the user's type of game. The game machine 1 uses a plurality of belt conveyors BC each having a function as such action means. Specifically, the game machine 1 has a housing 2. The frame 2 is provided with a belt conveyor unit 3, a push button 4, a discharge port 5, and a storage section 6. Pressing the button 4 is a well-known input device for inputting the pressing operation as a play behavior of the user. By pressing the push button 4, the action of the belt conveyor unit 3 is controlled. The relationship between the pressing operation of the pressing button 4 and the operation of the belt conveyor unit 3 will be described later.

The accommodating part 6 is a part for accommodating the amusement body, and is formed in the space inside the housing 2. The accommodating part 6 is constructed with a transparent material inside, such as acrylic or visible glass, which separates the outside from the inside, and allows the inside to be visible from the outside. An opening 7 connected to the discharge port 5 is provided on the bottom surface of the accommodating portion 6. That is, the receiving portion 6 is connected to the discharge port 5 through the opening 7. The discharge port 5 is an opening through the opening 7 for discharging (paying) the amusement game housed in the accommodating part 6 to the outside of the housing 2. When the amusement body is discharged from the discharge port 5, gifts are given to the user. That is, the discharge port 5 has a function as a predetermined position for giving gifts.

The belt conveyor unit 3 is a well-known device that has a plurality of belt conveyors BC, and conveys objects to be conveyed in a predetermined direction through each of the belt conveyors BC. The belt conveyor unit 3 is installed inside the housing 2 in such a way that a plurality of belt conveyors BC form the bottom surface of the accommodating part 6. Moreover, the belt conveyor unit 3 is arrange|positioned so that the opening 7 may be located at the front end of a predetermined direction. Then, the amusement body of the storage section 6 is conveyed toward the opening 7 by the movement in the predetermined direction of each belt conveyor BC. More specifically, the belt conveyor unit 3 operates in a manner of conveying the amusement bodies on the belt conveyors forming the bottom surface of the receiving portion 6 toward the opening 7 in response to the pressing operation of the pressing button 4.

In addition, the number of the opening 7, the discharge port 5, and the push button 4 may be the same as the number of the belt conveyor unit 3, or it may not be inconsistent. That is, one opening 7 and one pressing button 4 may be provided in a manner corresponding to the plurality of belt conveyor units 3. The relationship among the opening 7, the discharge port 5, and the push button 4 is also the same. In addition, the opening 7, the discharge port 5, and the system for pressing the button 4 are similarly provided in the front of the housing 2 (the side where the user is playing, in other words, the predetermined direction in which the belt conveyor unit 3 conveys the amusement body). However, the arrangement positions of the opening 7, the discharge port 5, and the push button 4 may be appropriate. In addition, the arrangement positions of the opening 7, the discharge port 5, and the push button 4 may be consistent with each other, or may not be inconsistent. Furthermore, the conveyance direction (predetermined direction) of the belt conveyor unit 3 is not limited to the horizontal direction (forward in the example of FIG. 1). For example, two belt conveyor units 3 may be arranged on the left and right end sides of the accommodating portion 6 to pinch one opening. At this time, the two belt conveyor units 3 may be arranged horizontally so as to convey the amusement body in the horizontal direction toward the opening 7 in the center, or arranged inclinedly so as to gradually climb the inclined surface upward. In addition, the conveying direction of each belt conveyor BC may be different. Specifically, for example, when two openings 7 are arranged at mutually opposite positions, the two belt conveyors BC may be arranged in opposite directions so as to be conveyed toward the openings 7 respectively. That is, the arrangement of the belt conveyor unit 3 etc. should just be appropriate.

Next, referring to FIGS. 2 to 5, the detailed structure of the belt conveyor unit 3 will be described. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing one of the belt conveyor units 3 in a state of being removed from the housing 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the belt conveyor unit 3 is configured as a single device, and is configured to be removable and installable from the frame 2. The belt conveyor unit 3 is provided with 10 belt conveyors BC. Each belt conveyor BC system is not affected by other belt conveyors BC, and is configured to operate independently. In addition, two LED units 8 are provided in the belt conveyor unit 3.

LEDs are provided in the inside of each block 10a, and it is comprised so that it can turn on and off corresponding to each block 10a. That is, each LED display portion 9 is configured to light up and turn off the lights through each frame 10a of each indicator mark portion 10. Then, each indicator mark portion 10 informs the user of the operation amount of the belt conveyor BC by the number of the light-on state boxes 10a. The relationship between the lighting state of each indicator mark 10 and the operation amount of the belt conveyor BC and the relationship between the pressing operation of the push button 4 and the operation of the belt conveyor unit 3 will also be described later.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view when the cross-section of the example of FIG. 3 along the line IV-IV is viewed from the right side. As shown in Fig. 4, each belt conveyor BC has a belt BC1 that rotates together with two rollers BC2 wrapped on the inside at both ends of a wheel-shaped belt BC1, and is known to convey articles on the belt BC1 in a predetermined direction. Institutions. A motor 11 is provided under each belt conveyor BC. The motor 11 has a function as a driving source for driving each belt conveyor BC. Specifically, in the motor 11, the timing pulley 12 is coaxially mounted on the rotor part. Then, the timing pulley 12 is rotationally driven in accordance with the rotation of the rotor part. That is, the timing pulley 12 has a function as an output target of the driving force of the motor 11, and the timing pulley 12 is first rotated and driven by the motor 11. In addition, the timing pulley 12 is arranged so as to contact the lower side of the belt BC1 of the belt conveyor BC. Then, the timing pulley 12 is driven to rotate the belt BC1 by the resistance (frictional force) accompanying the contact with the belt BC1, and the motor 11 drives each belt conveyor BC. In addition, the belt conveyor BC, its driving method, etc. may be appropriately configured.

Fig. 5 is a plan view of the belt conveyor unit 3 of Fig. 2 viewed from below. As shown in Fig. 5, in one belt conveyor unit 3, 10 motors 11 are respectively arranged under the 10 belt conveyors BC. In addition, the motors 11 are divided into two groups 11G of five. One group 11G1 is a group arranged with the timing pulley 12 on the left side, and the other group 11G2 is a group 11G arranged with the timing pulley 12 on the right side. The motors 11 of each group 11G are positioned to drive each belt conveyor BC by skipping one in the middle. Specifically, one group 11G1 drives the odd numbered belt conveyors BC, such as the first and third from the left, and the other group 11G2 drives the second, fourth, etc. from the left. The even-numbered belt conveyors are positioned in BC mode. In this way, the motors 11 are arranged in different directions in order to effectively use the space.

In addition, each motor 11 is provided with a well-known measuring device 13 for measuring the number of rotations (rotation amount) of the timing pulley 12. The measuring device 13 is configured to rotate integrally with the timing pulley 12 and is coaxially attached to the rotor portion 14 of the motor 11 in the same manner as the timing pulley 12. The number of rotations of the timing pulley 12 corresponds to the moving range of the belt BC1 (the conveying range of the amusement body, or the amount of movement). Therefore, the measurement device 13 is used for the measurement of the movement width of the belt BC1.

Next, with reference to FIG. 6, the main part of the control system of the game machine 1 is demonstrated. The game machine 1 is provided with a control unit 21 as a computer, a memory unit 22 as a memory means, the belt conveyor unit 3 described above, and a push button 4. The control unit 21 is configured as a computer combining a CPU, which is an example of a processor that executes various processing in accordance with a predetermined computer program, and internal memory and other peripheral devices required for its operation. In the control unit 21, a display control unit 23 and a drive control unit 24 are provided as a logic device realized by a combination of the hardware resources of the control unit 21 and the game program PG as the software resource. The display control unit 23 executes various processes for controlling the operation of the LED display unit 9, and the drive control unit 24 executes various processes for controlling the operation of the motor 11. Such processing includes display control processing and drive control processing. The steps of the display control process and the drive control process will be described later.

The memory part 22, the belt conveyor unit 3 and the pressing button 4 are all connected to the control unit 21. Then, the display of each LED display part 9 of the belt conveyor unit 3 and the operation of each motor 11 are controlled by the control unit 21. More specifically, each LED display unit 9 is controlled by the display control unit 23 to operate, and each motor 11 is controlled by the drive control unit 24 to control its operation. Therefore, the lighting and extinguishing of each frame 10a of each indicator portion 10 included in each LED display portion 9 (including the change and stop of the color arrangement described later) is controlled based on the output signal from the display control portion 23. Similarly, each motor 11 operates in accordance with an output signal from the drive control unit 24, and with such an operation, each belt conveyor BC of the belt conveyor unit 3 operates. That is, the operation of each belt conveyor BC is controlled by the drive control unit 24 through the motor 11. In addition, the measurement result of the measurement device 13 of each motor 11 and the result of the pressing operation with respect to the pressing button 4 are also output to the control unit 21. That is, the measurement device 13 and the pressing button 4 have a function as an input device for inputting a signal corresponding to the measurement result or the operation result to the control unit 21. More specifically, the measurement result of the measurement device 13 is output to the drive control unit 24 and used for the control of the drive of each motor 11, in other words, the control of the operation of each belt conveyor BC. On the other hand, the result of the pressing operation for pressing the button 4 is output to both the display control unit 23 and the drive control unit 24. Then, the display control unit uses the output result for each LED display unit 9, in other words, controls the lighting of each block 10 a of each indicator portion 10. In addition, the drive control unit 24 uses its output result to control the drive of each motor 11, in other words, to control the operation of each belt conveyor BC.

The memory portion 22 is an external memory device realized by a memory unit including a non-volatile memory medium (computer-readable memory medium) such as a hard disk, a semiconductor memory device, and the like. In the memory unit 22, various data are recorded together with the above-mentioned program PG. In the example of FIG. 6, the game data GD is revealed. The game data GD is used to follow the program PG to allow users to play gift games. The game data GD includes, for example, BGM data for reproducing BGM. In addition, various input devices and output devices included in commercial game devices can also be installed in the game machine 1. Such an input device includes, for example, a well-known consideration collection mechanism for collecting consideration required for playing a gift game. The consideration collection agency is constituted by collecting, for example, a fixed amount of coins (substitute currency including banknotes and tokens) as the set consideration, and it may also be constituted by collecting various other values such as electronic money (including various points). It's also possible. However, these illustrations are omitted.

Next, the relationship between the pressing operation of pressing the button 4 and the operation of the belt conveyor unit 3 will be described with respect to the play method of the gift game. Fig. 7 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the play method of the gift game. The example of FIG. 7 reveals the situation of using the gift 30 itself as an amusement body. At this time, the gift 30 itself is discharged from the discharge port 5, and the gift 30 is directly given to the user through this discharge. Also, at this time, as shown in FIG. 7, the gift 30 is placed on the belt conveyor unit 3 so as to be positioned across the plurality of belt conveyors BC. That is, the gift 30 is directly arranged on the conveying surface DA so that each part is in contact with the conveying surface DA of the belt conveyor BC. Specifically, the belt conveyor unit 3 includes 10 belt conveyors BC that can be driven independently of each other. Therefore, the collection of the individual conveying surfaces DA (upper side) of each belt conveyor BC forms the belt conveyor unit 3 The conveying surface DA of this type has a function as the arrangement surface of the gift 30 (the bottom surface of the accommodating portion 6). As a result, on the conveying surface of the belt conveyor unit 3 (hereinafter referred to as the arrangement surface DAG), 10 conveying surfaces DA corresponding to the 10 belt conveyors BC are formed, and the conveying surfaces DA are divided into each. The gift 30 is arranged so as to span the plural conveyance surfaces DA of such 10 conveyance surfaces DA.

On the other hand, each indicator mark portion 10 of each LED display portion 9 is lit so as to indicate the amount of operation of the belt conveyor BC corresponding to each LED display portion 9. Specifically, each indicator portion 10 of each LED display portion 9 is as described above, and the amount of operation of the belt conveyor BC is notified by the number of blocks 10a. Therefore, the respective indicator parts 10 are lighted in such a way that the number of the squares 10a in the light is different. Furthermore, each indication mark part 10 is used for the identification of the belt conveyor BC of an operation target and its operation amount. Specifically, each indicator portion 10 is sequentially changed into lighting of other colors (intentional to look different visually, including only the increase in brightness), and the color change is stopped by pressing the button 4 . Then, the belt conveyor BC corresponding to the LED display portion 9 including the indicator portion 10 that stops with the lighting of other colors is used as the operation target, and the movement amount shown by the indicator portion 10 is specified as the belt conveyor. The amount of movement of the machine BC.

In the example of FIG. 7, the indicator mark portion 10 during lighting is indicated by a left diagonal line. Specifically, among the three indicator portions 10 of each LED display portion 9, five squares 10a (all) in the central indicator portion 10 are lit, and the left and right adjacent indicator portions 10 have three squares. 10a lights up. At this time, the indicator portion 10 in the center indicates the maximum amount of motion, and the indicator portions 10 adjacent to the left and right indicate the amount of motion that is equal to or more than half of the maximum amount. That is, the three indicator parts 10 indicate two types of motion amounts. In addition, the indicator portion 10 located in the center of the fourth LED display portion 9 from the right is indicated by diagonal lines to the right so as to indicate other colors. That is, by the pressing operation of the push button 4, the indicator mark portion 10 located in the center of the fourth LED display portion 9 from the right (hereinafter, regardless of the position, there is an indicator mark portion 10 with such other colors It is referred to as the condition of the other color indication marking portion 10S) in which the color matching is stopped. At this time, the fourth belt conveyor BC from the right corresponding to the fourth LED display portion 9 is specified as an operation target, and the other color indicates the maximum amount of operation indicated by the indicator portion 10S to operate. In this example, the fourth belt conveyor BC from the right of the action target has a function as a part of the action means of the present invention. In addition, the operation of pressing the button 4 is used as a common play action of the present invention, and this pressing operation has a function as a stop action of the present invention. As a result, such a pressing operation has a function as both a part of the specific behavior and the amount of motion specific behavior of the present invention. Furthermore, the number of the squares 10a in the lighting of each instruction indicator 10 has a function as operation amount information of the present invention. In addition, the lighting of other colors and the general lighting have the functions of specific information and non-specific information of the object of the present invention, respectively. Similarly, the other color indicator 10S has a function as a judging unit for presenting some information and object specific information in the present invention. Then, the number of the squares 10a in the lighting in the other color indicator portion 10S, and the number of the squares 10a in the lighting in the other indicator portion 10 have the quantity specifying information and the non-quantity as the present invention. The function of specific information.

In addition, in the example of FIG. 7, the gift 30 is not flat, and has a shape including unevenness. Therefore, the gift 30 only touches a part of the placement surface DAG. Specifically, the gift 30 only touches the conveying surface DA of the 3 belt conveyors BC (the 4th, 5th, and 7th from the left) (for convenience, the colors are arranged in a dot pattern). The transfer surface DA supports the load from below. That is, the gift 30 is substantially supported by the three conveying surfaces DA. Therefore, for the conveyance (movement or displacement) of the gift 30, only the belt conveyor BC having the three conveying surfaces DA is involved. As a result, in the situation of this example, in order to transport (obtain) the gift 30, the user is required to press the button 4 to make the three belt conveyors BC move more significantly. In other words, the user is required to perform a game in which a part of the gift 30 that touches the conveying surface DA is conveyed in stages by the actions of the three belt conveyors BC. On the other hand, depending on the form of the gift 30, etc., even among the three belt conveyors BC, the load distribution is not necessarily uniform. Therefore, if all of the three belt conveyors BC are not operated, the gift 30 will not move completely (not toward the opening 7), and there may also be the operation of the belt conveyor BC with a high load distribution. The gift 30 The overall situation of a large move. As a result, the user is also required to estimate the load distribution between the belt conveyors BC (for example, those with a high load distribution, in other words, may participate in the transportation of the gift 30). Furthermore, according to the respective belt conveyors BC supporting each part of the gift 30, of course, the conveying degree of each part of the gift 30 will also be different, and the belt conveyor BC supporting each part may also change according to the conveying degree. Therefore, users are required to play in consideration of such changes. In this example, the 10 conveying surfaces DA corresponding to the 10 belt conveyors BC respectively have the functions of the plural areas of the present invention. In addition, the three belt conveyors BC, the fourth, the fifth, and the seventh from the left, which are in contact with the gift 30 by participating in the transportation of the gift 30, have a function as two or more operating means of the present invention. Similarly, the three conveying surfaces DA corresponding to the belt conveyors BC respectively have the function of two or more areas of the present invention.

Furthermore, on the placement surface DAG, as long as it straddles a plurality of conveyance surfaces DA, the premium 30 (amusement body) of an appropriate form (size, shape, etc.) may be placed. Or, conversely, the belt conveyor unit 3 of an appropriate form may be used so that the gift 30 of an appropriate form may be arrange|positioned. Moreover, as long as the user visually sees that it straddles the plural conveying surfaces DA (or there is a possibility of it), there may be only one belt conveyor BC that actually comes into contact with the gift 30 (or carries the load of the gift 30). The same applies to the belt conveyor BC participating in the transportation of the gift 30. That is, as long as the user visually sees that the plural conveying surfaces DA are involved in the conveyance of the gift 30 (or there is a possibility), there may be only one belt conveyor BC that actually participates in the conveyance (loading of the load) of the gift 30. . It is also possible to explain the meaning of the explanation that spans the plural conveying surfaces DA, or the plural conveying surfaces DA participates in conveyance.

In addition, the change of the color of the indicator mark portion 10 is not limited to a mode that occurs one at a time. For example, this kind of change occurs simultaneously on a plurality of belt conveyors BC, and it may be stopped in such a way that the plurality of indicating signs 10 have the functions of other color indicating signs 10S by pressing the button 4 once. In other words, the change in the color of the indicator marking portion 10 may appropriately occur so as to indicate one or more belt conveyors BC. Furthermore, when the plural indicating markings 10 have the function of indicating the marking parts 10S in other colors, the plural belt conveyors BC respectively corresponding to the indicating marking parts 10S of the other colors may all be operated at one time, or may be operated individually in sequence. The same applies to the belt conveyor BC that is the object of the plural actions corresponding to the plural number of times of play when the plural number of times of play is provided with the set consideration. That is, the belt conveyor BC corresponding to the plural action objects of the plural number of times of play may also be operated individually in sequence each time. The belt conveyor BC can operate at the same time. That is, the belt conveyor BC, which is the subject of such plural operations, may be operated at an appropriate time. When the plural belt conveyor GC is specified as the belt conveyor BC to be operated, such plural belt conveyor GC has a function as two or more operation means of the present invention.

8-10, together with the flow of the gift game, the relationship between each LED display unit 9 and the belt conveyor BC to be driven, and the relationship between the lighting state of each indicator portion 10 and the amount of movement of the belt conveyor BC Further explain. Gift games provide a set number of games together with the collection of the set consideration. Specifically, with the collection of the set consideration, first, the change of the color of each indicator mark portion 10 starts, and the change is stopped by pressing the push button 4. Next, in accordance with its stop position, the belt conveyor BC to be driven and its movement amount are determined, and the actual belt conveyor BC to be driven is driven by the movement amount. From the start of the change of these colors to the actual driving of the belt conveyor BC as one time, a predetermined number of times to repeat these are provided. As an example, a gift game is provided in this process.

FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the relationship between each LED display portion 9 and the belt conveyor BC to be driven. As shown in FIG. 8, with the collection of consideration (for example, coin input to a consideration collection institution), each indicator mark portion 10 changes one color at a time in order from the left end. In other words, the indicator parts 10 are lighted in such a manner that the change in color scheme moves sequentially from the left end to the right end. In addition, when the change of the color arrangement reaches the right end, it reoccurs at the left end, and similarly moves toward the right end. That is, the change of the color scheme is repeated in one direction from the left end to the right end. Furthermore, such a change in color arrangement occurs in a predetermined order corresponding to each belt conveyor unit 3 when a plurality of belt conveyor units 3 are installed in the game machine 1. For example, when two belt conveyor units 3 are arranged side by side, they occur in the order from each indicator portion 10 of the belt conveyor unit 3 at the left end to each indicator portion 10 of the belt conveyor unit at the right end. That is, in a way of straddling the two belt conveyor units 3, it occurs sequentially from the left-most indicator marking portion 10 to the rightmost indicator marking portion 10. On the other hand, the change of the color arrangement is stopped in accordance with the operation time when the push button 4 is pressed, that is, when an operation of pressing the push button 4 is performed (hereinafter, a situation referred to as a stop operation). Then, the belt conveyor BC corresponding to the LED display portion 9 including the indicator 10 that stops with the change of the color arrangement is specified as the belt conveyor BC to be driven.

Furthermore, in the example of FIG. 8, only the lower LED unit 8 of the two LED units 8 (refer to FIG. 3) located on the upper and lower sides of the belt conveyor BC is disclosed, but the upper LED unit 8 is also It operates in the same manner as the LED unit 8 on the lower side. That is, the two LED units 8 perform the same actions in a mutually synchronized manner. The gift 30 moves at any time, so there is a possibility that either side is covered by the gift 30 (the user can’t see it). However, even if this happens, the other party’s display will be used to inform the color of the change, etc. . That is, the front and rear LED units 8 present the same display to each other in such a way that the other party assists either party's deficiencies. Moreover, the change of the color arrangement of each LED display part 9 may occur suitably. For example, the change of the color of each LED display part 9 may occur in a non-circular and fold-back manner. Specifically, the change in the color of the full indicator marking portion 10 included in the belt conveyor unit 3 occurs sequentially from the left end to the right, and the indicator marking portion 10 at the right end is re-turned from the right end after reaching the right end. The indication marking portion 10 toward the left end may be generated sequentially. In the case of a plurality of belt conveyor units 3, it also occurs from the left end to the right end in the full indication marking portion 10 of the full belt conveyor unit 3, and after reaching the indication marking portion 10 at the right end of the belt conveyor unit 3 at the right end, The way of folding back may also occur toward the indicator mark portion 10 at the left end of the belt conveyor unit 3 at the left end. Or, the change of this kind of color matching is randomly and sequentially changed in the all-indicating mark portion 10.

Furthermore, the change of the color arrangement of each LED display part 9 may occur in the indication mark part 10 of an appropriate number. For example, such a change in color arrangement may occur every two indicator marking portions 10. In addition, the two indicating mark portions 10 may be continuous or discontinuous. The change of the color of the indicator portions 10 may be stopped by a one-degree stop operation, or may be stopped by a two-degree stop operation corresponding to each indicator portion 10. Then, the belt conveyor BC corresponding to the instruction mark portion 10 may be operated according to the movement amount of each instruction mark portion 10. Specifically, when the two indicator marking portions 10 of which the color arrangement changes correspond to two belt conveyors BC, the two belt conveyors BC may be operated according to the movement amount of the individual indicator marking portions 10. Alternatively, when the two indicator portions 10 of the color matching change correspond to one belt conveyor BC, one of the belt conveyors BC may be operated by the total amount of the movement amounts respectively indicated by the two indicator portions 10. Or, when the change of color arrangement in such a belt conveyor BC stops, a discount such as an additional operation amount may be given. That is, one of the belt conveyors BC may be operated with an operation amount greater than the total amount.

Furthermore, each LED display part 9 is not limited to the structure corresponding to one belt conveyor BC one by one. For example, the LED display unit 9 corresponding to a plurality of belt conveyors BC may be provided. Specifically, in the belt conveyor unit 3, LED display parts 9 corresponding to the two belt conveyors BC may be provided between the two belt conveyors BC. Then, when the change in the color of each indicator portion 10 of the LED display portion 9 stops, the two belt conveyors BC corresponding to the LED display portion 9 (for example, the belt conveyors BC on both sides) stop with color matching indicators The operation amount of the part 10 may be operated. In other words, when one belt conveyor BC is operated by the operation amount of one instruction mark portion 10 normally, two belt conveyors BC corresponding to twice the operation amount may be operated. In this way, an appropriate discount may be provided for the movement amount of each belt conveyor BC. On the other hand, this kind of discount (the situation where the multiple belt conveyors BC are operating is more likely to increase the conveying efficiency of the gift 30 than when the belt conveyor BC is operating alone, so it also includes the situation where the color of the multiple indicator portion 10 is changed. Yes) It may be limited to a situation where additional consideration (for example, twice the consideration for normal games, or 1.5 times the consideration, etc.) is imposed. Moreover, the belt BC1 itself may have the function of such an LED display part 9. Specifically, such an LED display unit 9 or a display unit equivalent thereto (that indicates the belt conveyor BC of the movement target and the movement amount thereof) may be provided on the belt BC1 itself. For example, as such an equivalent display unit, a projector that projects the belt conveyor BC and the amount of movement (including, for example, only the presence or absence of light and the change in color, etc.) of the belt conveyor BC that is the object of operation on the conveyor BC1, etc. . That is, through such a projector or the like, the belt BC1 itself may have a function as a display unit that indicates the belt conveyor BC to be moved and the amount of movement thereof.

FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the relationship between the lighting state of each indicator mark 10 and the operation amount of the belt conveyor BC. As shown in Figure 9, the five blocks 10a (all) are turned on in a discolored state (the indicator mark portion 10 of the five blocks 10a is the state of the other color indicator mark portion 10S), the amount of operation is more than three There are many cases when the squares 10a are lit in a discolored state (the indicator portion 10 of the three squares 10a is lit with other color indicator portions 10S). Specifically, a predetermined amount of movement is assigned to one block 10a, so when the three blocks 10a are lit in a color-changing state, the belt conveyor BC is driven only by the amount of movement of the three blocks 10a. In addition, the moving range (pitch amount) 40 of the conveying surface DA of the belt conveyor BC in the predetermined direction is determined in response to this amount of movement. Therefore, the moving range 40A when the three boxes 10a are lit in a discolored state is of course Less than 5 blocks 10a (all) have a movement range 40B when lighting in a discolored state (approximately 1.7 times the movement range 40A for 3 minutes). The gift 30 moves from the original position OP according to the movement range 40. Therefore, the change of the stop color matching in the indicator portion 10 where the five boxes 10a are lit is, for example, when the center of gravity is located on the same belt conveyor BC. When the belt conveyor BC with the same load distribution is driven, it can be closer to the opening. 7 ways to deliver gifts 30. Therefore, the user is required to stop the operation of stopping the change of the color in the indicator portion 10 (the indicator portion 10 in which the five blocks 10a are lit) with a larger amount of movement.

In addition, the assignment of the amount of operation of the three instruction markers 10 may be performed appropriately. For example, two squares 10a in the indicator portion 10 on the left are lit, three squares 10a in the indicator portion 10 on the right are lit, and four squares 10a in the indicator portion 10 at the center are lit. In addition, among the three indication marking parts 10, the indication marking part 10 which shows the largest movement amount is not limited to the center. Such an indication mark portion 10 may be arranged at an appropriate position including the left and right sides. In addition, the amount of operation corresponding to the block 10a in the lighting may also be appropriately set. That is, a predetermined amount of motion is assigned to one block 10a, and the amount of motion indicated by each indicator portion 10 is not limited to a structure that corresponds to the number of blocks 10a in the lighting in a linear shape. The amount of action indicated by each indicator portion 10 is based on the number of boxes 10a in the lighting, and may be allocated appropriately.

Furthermore, the number of indicator marking portions 10 included in each LED display portion 9 is not limited to three, and may be appropriately set. Alternatively, one indication mark corresponding to the full LED display part may be provided instead of the indication mark part 10 of each LED display part 9. At this time, in such an indication mark, the amount of the scale (including the one with the same box shape as the box 10a) indicating the amount of movement in accordance with the elapsed time may be changed. Then, by stopping the operation, such a scale change can also be stopped. Or, a common numerical display part is provided in all the LED display parts, and the change of the numerical value of the numerical display part that changes according to the elapsed time can be stopped by a stop operation. Then, the value at the time of the stop may have a function as an operation amount. In this case, such numerical information may have a function as operation amount information of the present invention. As a result, the indicator indicating the amount of operation and the number of belt conveyors BC that operate corresponding to it are not limited to one to one, and may correspond to each other at an appropriate ratio. The same applies to the LED display unit. In other words, a display unit that prompts information such as the value displayed by each belt conveyor BC is provided instead of the plural LED display units, and the information stops at the information of the belt conveyor BC showing part of the information by stopping the operation. Changes are also possible. In this case, such numerical information may have a function as part of the information of the present invention.

In addition, there is a possibility that various types of gifts 30 may be arranged on the belt conveyor unit 3. For example, even if the shape is the same, there is a situation where the gift 30 is arranged with a larger size, and there is a situation where the gift 30 with a smaller size is arranged. In the case of the gift 30 with a smaller size, the distance to the opening 7 tends to be relatively longer than that of the gift 30 with a larger size. Therefore, at this time, if the amount of action in the case of the smaller gift 30 is not set to be greater than the amount of action in the case of the larger gift 30, the user may feel unfair (or relative to the one-time play). The value of declining). Therefore, the amount of action configured to correspond to the number of boxes 10a in the lighting can be appropriately changed by the manager of the gaming machine 1 (for example, the owner of the gaming machine 1, or the operator of a predetermined facility, etc.). Furthermore, for example, when the game machine 1 is provided with a sensor that can detect the size of the gift 30, the game machine 1 (control unit 21) automatically sets the amount of movement in response to the detection result of this sensor. Can. Because of factors other than the size of the gift 30, the amount of movement is changed in the same situation.

FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the change in the amount of operation that may occur in the indicator portion 10 with the same number of blocks 10a in the lighting. As shown in FIG. 10, even in the case of the indicator portion 10 with the same number of squares 10a in the lighting, the movement range 40 changes in accordance with the setting of the administrator. Specifically, even in the situation where the number of the indicating markers 10 in the lighted frame 10a is the same, the movement range 40C when the belt conveyor unit 3 is configured with a larger gift 30 is smaller than that of a smaller gift. For the movement range 40D at 30 o'clock, the amount of movement corresponding to the number of squares 10a in the lighting is set. In this way, the operation amount of each belt conveyor BC can be appropriately changed by the administrator. In addition, the setting of the amount of motion is not limited to the situation where the size of the gift 30 changes, and it may be executed in an appropriate situation.

Next, referring to FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the steps of the display control process and the drive control process will be described. Both the display control process and the drive control process are executed by the control unit 21. The display control process is a process for controlling the display of each LED display unit 9. More specifically, the color of each indicator mark portion 10 in the lighting is changed in a predetermined order, and the process is used to stop the change in accordance with the stop operation. In addition, the display control process is executed by the display control unit 23 of the control unit 21. The display control unit 23 starts the display control process of FIG. 11 when the predetermined change start condition is satisfied (for example, when the price of coins or the like is collected). The lighting color of 10 is changed sequentially from the left end corresponding to each LED unit 8 (step S101). In other words, the display control unit 23 controls the lighting of each indicator portion 10 in such a manner that the color arrangement sequentially changes from the left end to the right end as time elapses. When the two belt conveyor units 3 are installed in the game machine 1, the display control unit 23 changes the color from each indicator portion 10 of the belt conveyor unit 3 at the left end to the belt conveyor unit 3 at the right end. This change is performed in the manner in which the order of the indications of the marking portion 10 occurs. That is, the display control unit 23 straddles the two belt conveyor units 3, and causes such changes to occur sequentially from the leftmost indicator portion 10 to the rightmost indicator portion 10. Furthermore, the display control unit 23 causes such changes to circulate sequentially from the left end to the right end, repeating in one direction. On the other hand, the display control unit 23 performs this change in a manner of synchronizing the two LED units 8. That is, the display control unit 23 is a method in which the changes of the upper and lower LED units 8 are synchronized, and the same changes are performed for each LED unit 8.

Next, the display control unit 23 determines whether there has been a stop operation, that is, whether an operation of pressing the push button 4 has been performed (step S102). When the stop operation is not performed, the display control unit 23 repeatedly judges whether there has been a stop operation at a predetermined cycle. That is, the display control unit 23 repeatedly executes the processing of step S102 until the stop operation is executed. On the other hand, when the stop operation is performed, the display control unit 23 stops the change of the color arrangement in accordance with the timing of the stop operation (step S103). Then, the display control unit 23 ends the processing of this time after stopping the change of the color arrangement. Thereby, the color of each indicator mark portion 10 in the lighting changes in a predetermined order. Then, by stopping the operation, such a scale change can also be stopped.

On the other hand, the drive control process is a process for driving each belt conveyor BC. Specifically, the drive control process is based on the stop operation of the full belt conveyor BC to specify the belt conveyor BC to be driven and its movement amount, and the drive amount is used to actually drive the belt conveyor BC to be driven. handle. In addition, the drive control process is executed by the drive control unit 24 of the control unit 21. The drive control unit 24 starts the drive control processing of FIG. 12 following the end of the display control processing, and first acquires the stop position of the change in the color arrangement of the indication mark portion 10 accompanying the stop operation (step S201).

Next, the drive control unit 24 specifies the belt conveyor BC to be driven based on the stop position acquired in step S201 (step S202). Specifically, the drive control unit 24 discriminates the LED display unit 9 including the stop position indicator 10 and specifies the belt conveyor BC corresponding to the LED display unit 9 as the belt conveyor BC to be driven. Next, the drive control unit 24 specifies the movement amount of the belt conveyor BC of the drive target specified in step S202 (S203). Specifically, the drive control unit 24 determines the number of blocks 10a in the stop position indicator 10 in the lighting, and specifies each block 10a based on the previous setting result (including the setting result by the administrator) The amount of action (or the amount of action corresponding to the amount in box 10a). Then, the drive control unit 24 obtains the amount of movement corresponding to the number of boxes 10a in the identified lighting based on the amount of movement of each specified block 10a, and specifies the amount of movement as the belt conveyor of the drive object The drive capacity of the machine BC. Furthermore, when a plurality of belt conveyors are specified as the belt conveyor to be driven according to the stop operation, the drive control unit 24 specifies the plurality of belt conveyors and the amount of movement in step S202 and step S203. In addition, when a plurality of belt conveyors corresponding to the plural number of play times are simultaneously driven, the control unit 24, after step S203, determines whether the entire belt conveyor corresponding to the plural number of play times and the identification of the movement amounts have ended. If it is not over, the process of step S204 may be retained until such a specific end.

Next, the drive control unit 24 actually drives the belt conveyor BC based on the specific results of steps S202 and S203. Specifically, the drive control unit 24 drives the motor 11 corresponding to the belt conveyor BC in a manner that the belt conveyor BC specified in step S202 actually executes the drive action (conveying action) with the amount of movement specified in step S203. . Then, the drive control unit 24 ends the processing of this time after actually driving the belt conveyor BC to be driven. Thereby, according to the stop operation, the belt conveyor BC of the driving target and its movement amount are specified, and the belt conveyor BC of the driving target actually moves according to the movement amount.

As described above, according to this aspect, the arrangement surface DAG is divided into 10 conveying surfaces corresponding to 10 belt conveyors BC in such a way that the gift 30 is located across the conveyance surface DA of two or more belt conveyors BC. DA, the belt conveyor BC corresponding to each conveying surface DA conveys a part (location) of the premium 30 located on each conveying surface DA in a predetermined direction (forward). In other words, the ten belt conveyors BC respectively share the transportation of a part of the gift 30 located on each conveying surface DA, so the arrangement of the gift 30 across two or more conveying surfaces DA is allowed. Thereby, the arrangement and transportation of the gift 30 can not only depend on one action means such as a belt conveyor or a gripping arm (a well-known action means for capturing the gift 30 and lifting and conveying). The transferable range (the condition of the gripping arm is the length and opening angle of the claw, or the force of capture, etc.), so that the plural conveying surfaces DA and the plural belt conveyors BC corresponding to these are separately shared. Therefore, even if the articles that cannot be arranged and conveyed by the conveyable range of only one operation means, they can be arranged and conveyed through such plural conveying surfaces DA and plural belt conveyors BC corresponding to them. As a result, by means of this sharing, compared to the situation where the transportable range of only one action means is formed on the placement surface DAG, it is possible to arrange items with a greater variety of forms as gifts 30 on the placement surface DAG, so that Increase the freedom of items that can be used as gifts 30.

In addition, the user's stop operation (the operation of pressing the button 4) specifies the belt conveyor BC to be operated. Therefore, through this kind of stop operation, it is possible to provide techniques such as recognizing a more appropriate (higher load distribution) belt conveyor BC, or a technique to stop color matching in such a more appropriate belt conveyor BC, etc. Various skills or abilities are reflected in the action of the belt conveyor BC, in other words, there is room for the delivery of the gift 30. As a result, various types of gifts 30 can be targeted, and a conveying process for conveying such gifts 30 can be set, and it is also possible to provide room for reflecting the technique of operating the belt conveyor BC to be conveyed in the conveyance. With such content, the fun of the game can be enhanced.

Furthermore, based on the stop operation of the belt conveyor BC for identifying such an operation object, the operation amount of the belt conveyor BC of the operation object is also identified. Therefore, by such a stop operation, the movement amount of the belt conveyor BC to be operated can be changed. That is, the user's skills can be reflected in the action of the belt conveyor BC (in other words, the delivery of the gift 30), and the user's expectation for the once-time belt conveyor BC action can be changed. . In addition, it is possible to specify both the specification of the belt conveyor BC and its movement amount by the same common stop operation. Therefore, compared to the situation where these operations are realized by individual operations, it can be Omit the effort spent by the user. In this way, the convenience of the user can be improved, and the game can be more interesting.

On the other hand, a part of the gift 30 (the part on the conveying surface DA) is conveyed to the front (the direction of the opening 7) by each belt conveyor BC. Therefore, as long as the belt conveyors BC do not move to the front opposite to the rear (backward direction), for example, even if the gift 30 cannot be transported to the opening 7 by one degree of transportation, it is not necessary to retreat from this position and continue to perform the opening. Conveyance in one of the 7 directions. As a result, for example, when the conveying direction of each belt conveyor BC is limited to the front, for example, even if the gift 30 cannot be conveyed to the opening 7 by one degree of conveying, the advantageous conditions associated with the conveying (the condition close to the opening 7) It will be maintained until the next transfer opportunity. In this way, the user’s expectations related to the acquisition of gifts can be almost directly correlated with the number of play times, and therefore, play can be promoted. In addition, the influence of each belt conveyor BC on the conveyance of the gift 30 tends to be greater when the belt conveyors BC are operated one at a time, one at a time. Therefore, when there are a plurality of belt conveyors BC to be operated, by adjusting the operation time of each belt conveyor, it is possible to adjust the degree of difficulty in obtaining the gift for the game. Specifically, the situation in which the plural belt conveyors BC of the action target are all operating at the same time can reduce the difficulty of obtaining gifts compared to the situation in which they operate sequentially. In this way, the user's expectation of obtaining gifts can be increased.

In the above form, the drive control unit 24 of the game machine 1 performs the functions of a part of the specifying means, the amount of motion specifying means, and a part of the action means of the present invention by executing the steps in FIG. 12. More specifically, the drive control unit 24 has a function as a part of the specific means by performing step S202 in FIG. 12, and has a function as a motion amount specifying means by performing step S203 in FIG. 12, and by performing step S203 in FIG. Step S204 has a function as a part of the action means. Then, by providing such a drive control section 24, the control unit 21 of the game machine 1 has a function as an action control means of the present invention.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned aspect, and may be implemented in an aspect in which appropriate deformation or change is applied. For example, in the above-mentioned form, the premium 30 itself is used as the amusement body. However, the amusement body is not limited to this form. For example, the amusement body may be used as another item different from the gift 30. That is, the form of the entertainment related to the difficulty or fun of the game may be different. Then, when the amusement body and the gift are different items, the operator of the facility will exchange the amusement body discharged from the discharge port 5 with the gift, and the gift may be given to the user.

In addition, in the above-mentioned form, the game machine 1 is provided with the push button 4, and a bonus game is played in front of the game machine 1 to obtain a game. However, the present invention is not limited to this form. For example, the game system of the present invention includes a server device connected to the game machine 1 via a network, and various user terminals (such as personal computers, smart phones, and other game devices, etc.) connected to this server device. The belt conveyor BC of the game machine 1 can also be operated remotely. Then, gifts can be given to users by mail or electronic means. In other words, the gift can also be used as an electronic item. Moreover, in such a situation, the operation of the belt conveyor BC may be indirectly controlled by instructing the game machine 1 through the user terminal and the server device when the operation is to be stopped. Then, by executing such an instruction for indirect control of the belt conveyor BC, the server device may have all or part of the functions of a part of the specific means, the action amount specific means, and a part of the action means of the present invention. As a result, such a server device may have the function of the game system of the present invention instead of the game machine 1.

Furthermore, in the above-mentioned form, the belt conveyor to be operated and its operation amount are specified by the pressing operation of the pressing button 4. Specifically, by the operation of pressing the button, the change in the color of the indicator portion 10 that changes with the elapse of the stop time is stopped, and the belt conveyor to be operated and its movement amount are specified based on the stop position. In other words, in response to the pressing operation, the belt conveyor of the specified action object and its action amount. However, the present invention is not limited to this form. For example, through various other games, a belt conveyor of a specific action object and its amount of action can also be used. Then, various input devices used to input required play behaviors in various other games can also be used as the input device of the present invention. Furthermore, the belt conveyor of the action object and the amount of action may be specified by individual play behaviors (including other players).

In addition, the belt conveyor BC may be appropriately configured. For example, in the above-mentioned form, the belt BC1 of each belt conveyor BC is formed almost flat. However, the shape of the belt BC1 is not limited to such a flat form. For example, various protrusions or grooves may be provided on the belt BC1. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a perspective view of the belt conveyor unit 3 of the modification. In addition, the example of FIG. 13 discloses the situation where various protrusions BCB are provided on the belt BC1. As shown in Figure 13, this type of protrusion BCB includes a small protrusion BCB1 with a small drop and a large protrusion BCB2 with a large drop (in the example of Figure 13, the width between the protrusions BCB is also larger than that of the small protrusion BCB1) , And BCB3 with an arrow-shaped protrusion. With this kind of protrusion BCB, the conveying force of each belt conveyor BC can be adjusted. Specifically, when such a protrusion BCB is provided, the gift 30 can be hooked by the protrusion BCB, and therefore, the conveying force can be improved compared to a flat state. The lift of this conveying force increases as the drop of the protrusion BCB increases (for example, the conveying force of the large protrusion BCB2 rises more than that of the small protrusion BCB1). As a result, with such a protruding BCB, it is possible to reduce the difficulty of obtaining the game for the gift. In addition, in the case of the arrow projection BCB3, the conveying direction can be indicated by its shape, so it can also affect the fun of the game. For example, when a plurality of belt conveyor units 3 are installed with different conveying directions, it may be difficult to grasp the conveying direction, but the arrow projection BCB3 can be used to make it easier to grasp. For example, there are also protrusions BCB with the same height difference and different interval widths, and various protrusions BCB for ease of adjustment may be provided on the belt BC1. Furthermore, each belt conveyor BC system may be configured to be transportable in both front and rear directions. Then, such a conveying direction may also be added as a kind of gameplay. Specifically, for example, when a conveying display unit that displays the conveying direction is provided, the change of the conveying display unit is stopped by a stop operation in the same way as the movement amount, and the belt conveyor BC is stopped when it stops. Movement in the conveying direction is also possible. Alternatively, when a button corresponding to the conveying direction is set, the user can specify the conveying direction through the selection of such a button.

The various aspects of the present invention derived individually from the above-mentioned embodiments and modifications are described below. In addition, in the following description, in order to easily understand the various aspects of the present invention, the corresponding members illustrated in the drawings are added in parentheses, but the present invention is not limited to the illustrated form.

The game system of the present invention provides a disposition surface (DAG) provided with a disposition amusement body (30) and an action means ( 3) The transport action of the frame body (2) is the action control means (21) that controls the play action when the user’s play action is input through the input device (4). Through the aforementioned action means, the aforementioned amusement body When being transported to the aforementioned predetermined position, the gift (30) is given to the aforementioned user’s gift to obtain a game system (1), wherein in the aforementioned frame, the aforementioned amusement body is located across two or more areas (DA ) Position, a plurality of regions distinguishing the aforementioned arrangement surface are formed on the aforementioned arrangement surface, and a plurality of actions are respectively operated in such a way that a part of the aforementioned amusement body located in each area is displaced toward the aforementioned predetermined position corresponding to each area Means (BC) is set as the aforementioned action means; the aforementioned action control means has: a part of specific means (24), which is performed as a part of the aforementioned user’s play behavior to specify a part of the aforementioned plural action means When acting, because of a part of a specific action, a certain part of the means of action; and a part of the means of action (24), the part of the action means of the aforementioned plural means of action is used to make the part of the aforementioned amusement body corresponding to the part of the action means face The above-mentioned predetermined position is displaced to operate this part of the operating means.

According to the present invention, the arrangement surface is divided into plural areas in such a way that the amusement body is located in a position spanning two or more areas, and the plural action means corresponding to each area displaces a part of the amusement body located in each area. In other words, the plural action means respectively share the transportation of a part of the amusement body located in each area, so the configuration of the amusement body that spans more than two areas is allowed. Thereby, the arrangement and transportation of the amusement body can not only depend on one area corresponding to one action means, but also the plural areas and plural action means can be shared separately. Therefore, even if the area corresponding to the transportable range of only one operation means cannot realize the arrangement and transportation of the articles, it is possible to arrange and transport the articles through plural areas and plural operation means. As a result, with this kind of sharing, compared to the situation in which only an area corresponding to the transportable range of one operation means is formed on the arrangement surface, it is possible to arrange items with a greater variety of forms on the arrangement surface as amusement bodies. Therefore, It can increase the degree of freedom of items that can be used as amusement bodies. In addition, it is possible to set up a transport process for transporting the amusement body, and it is also possible to provide room for reflecting the skill of the operation means in the transport. With such content, the fun of the game can also be enhanced.

Various means of action can be used to make a part of the amusement body move in a predetermined direction. For example, each action means may be constructed in such a way that a part of the amusement body is displaced in a predetermined direction by using the pressure of water or air flow. Alternatively, each operating means may be configured to displace a part of the game body in a predetermined direction by pressing a rod-shaped member or a protrusion provided on the rod-shaped member in a predetermined direction. Furthermore, for example, when the amusement body itself is an object that is affected by magnetic force such as metal, or when the amusement body is placed on the placement surface through an instrument that is similarly affected, the various action means are used to cause a part of the amusement body to move through the magnetic force. It is also possible to configure the way of displacement in the specified direction. Moreover, as such an operation means, a belt conveyor that conveys the amusement body by displacing the conveying surface in a predetermined direction may be used. Furthermore, such a belt conveyor, a rod-shaped member, etc. may be configured to use magnetic force to displace a part of the amusement body in a predetermined direction.

Specifically, for example, in the same state of the game system of the present invention, a plurality of belt conveyors (BC) that operate separately to displace a part of the amusement body in a predetermined direction are installed in the aforementioned frame. As the aforementioned plural action means; the aforementioned plural belt conveyors may be arranged in such a way that the aforementioned predetermined position is located at the front end of the aforementioned predetermined direction. At this time, the amusement system is transported in a predetermined direction by a belt conveyor. Therefore, as long as the belt conveyor does not move in the backward direction opposite to the specified direction, for example, even if the amusement body cannot be transported to the specified position by one degree of transportation, it is not necessary to retreat from that position and continue to move in one direction in the specified direction. Transport. As a result, for example, when the movement direction of the belt conveyor is limited to the specified direction, for example, even if the game body cannot be transported to the specified position by one degree of transport, the favorable conditions associated with the transport can be maintained until the next transport. . In this way, the user’s expectations related to the acquisition of gifts can be almost directly correlated with the number of play times, and therefore, play can be promoted.

In addition, in a situation where a belt conveyor is used as an operation means, the belt conveyor may be appropriately arranged so that various directions have a function as a predetermined direction. For example, the belt conveyor may be configured to convey a part of the amusement body obliquely upward as a predetermined direction, and may be arranged obliquely toward a predetermined position obliquely upward. Or, for example, attach a magnetic body to the belt part of a belt conveyor. When the amusement body is metal, as long as the amusement body can be transported, it is a method of transporting a part of the amusement body in the vertical direction (or the direction close to it) in a predetermined direction. The belt conveyor can be placed at a predetermined position facing upwards, and it can also be arranged so as to face directly upwards. Similarly, the predetermined position may be set in an appropriate position. Specifically, the predetermined position may be set at the front end of the predetermined direction by directly conveying the amusement body by a belt conveyor, or may be set by indirect conveying. For example, when the amusement body is indirectly transported to a predetermined position by a belt conveyor, a transport mechanism that automatically realizes the transport to the predetermined position with the same function as the transport to the predetermined position may be installed at the front end of the belt conveyor. . For example, the belt conveyor may be arranged such that the opening connected to the lower discharge port through the connection passage is located at the front end of the predetermined direction, and the opening, the connection passage, and the discharge port may function as a conveying mechanism using gravity. Specifically, for example, in the same aspect of the present invention using a belt conveyor as an operating means, the plurality of belt conveyors are accommodated in the interior of the frame in such a way that the arrangement surface has a function as a bottom surface. The accommodating part (6) of the amusement body, as an opening through which the amusement body of the accommodating part is discharged to the outside of the frame, is located below the accommodating part and has a discharge port (5) that functions as the aforementioned predetermined position, And the opening (7) that opens on the bottom surface of the accommodating portion so as to connect the discharge port, when formed in the frame, is arranged in such a manner that a part of the amusement body is respectively displaced as the predetermined direction toward the opening. It can also be located above the aforementioned discharge port.

The plural action means and plural areas may be arranged in such a way that two or more zones correspond to one action means, and conversely, it may be arranged in such a way that two action means correspond to one zone. In addition, this correspondence relationship may be the same or not all the same. That is, for example, one area corresponding to two operation means and one area corresponding to one operation means are mixed, and the correspondence relationship between the plural operation means and the plural areas may be set. Alternatively, the plural action means and the plural areas may be provided in such a way that one action means corresponds to one area. Specifically, for example, in the same aspect of the present invention in which a belt conveyor is arranged as each action means above the discharge port, the aforementioned plural belt conveyors are arranged such that the conveying surface of each belt conveyor corresponds to each area. ; Each belt conveyor can be operated in a manner that is a part of the aforementioned amusement body and is located above each belt conveyor and moves in the aforementioned predetermined direction.

Appropriate configuration of the amusement body is also possible. For example, in a situation where a plurality of belt conveyors are used as a means of movement, the amusement body may be arranged indirectly on these belt conveyors. For example, in such a situation where the amusement body is indirectly arranged on the belt conveyor, the belt conveyor may be constructed in such a way that the amusement body is put into equipment such as metal, and the equipment is conveyed by magnetic force. Specifically, for example, a magnet may be installed on the conveying surface of a belt conveyor, and the game body may be placed in an appliance that is attracted by the magnet by the magnetic force. That is, the entertainment system may be indirectly arranged on the conveying surface (arrangement surface) through this kind of equipment. Or, between these belt conveyors and the appliance, an arrangement surface (materials that do not affect the magnetic force) may be arranged separately. On the other hand, the amusement body can also be directly arranged on the belt conveyor. Specifically, for example, in the same aspect of the present invention in which a belt conveyor is arranged as each action means above the discharge port, in the plural belt conveyors, a part of the amusement body contacts one of the conveying surfaces of the belt conveyors. In this way, it is also possible to directly configure the aforementioned amusement body.

The action means of a part of the action object may be used as one or plural. In addition, in a situation where there are a plurality of movement means for a part of the movement target, the movement means may be operated at an appropriate time. For example, the action periods (including the action start period and the action period) may be consistent or inconsistent. Similarly, in a situation where a part of the action means is plural, the action means may be determined by one chance or divided into a plurality of chances. For example, in the same aspect of the game system of the present invention, the aforementioned part of the action means is used as the aforementioned part of the action means, and when two or more action means are specified, each action means may be operated in sequence. Alternatively, in the same aspect of the game system of the present invention, the aforementioned part of the action means is used as the aforementioned part of the action means, and when two or more action means are specified, all of the aforementioned part of the action means may be operated at the same time. The influence of these plural action means on the transportation of the amusement body tends to be greater than the situation where each action means individually moves in order. Therefore, by adjusting the action period of the plural action means, the difficulty of obtaining the gift can be adjusted. Specifically, as a part of the action means, the situation where two or more action means all act at the same time, compared to the situation where the two or more action means act in sequence as a part of the action means, it can reduce the difficulty of obtaining gifts. . In this way, the user's expectation of obtaining gifts can be raised.

In addition, various items may be used as the aforementioned amusement body. For example, the amusement body may be used as other items different from the gifts, or may be used as the same item. In other words, as an amusement body, the gift itself can also be used. Then, with the arrival at the predetermined location, the gift itself can also be given to the user. Specifically, in the same aspect of the game system of the present invention, the aforementioned bonus may be used as the aforementioned amusement entity.

(Reference example) As described above, the game devices of Patent Documents 1 to 3 belong to the type of bonus acquisition games that aim to obtain bonuses through actions by means of action. The type of game that gets the giveaway. In this kind of gift-acquiring game of the type of gift-carrying gifts, most of the gift-carrying process caused by this kind of action means and the skill or ability of operating this kind of action means have a function as a part of the fun of the game. In addition, in the game of Patent Document 1, the conveyor belt moves with the transport amount corresponding to the result of the slot, so for example, if the slot can be used to obtain the result corresponding to the larger transport amount, the once-time game opportunity can be improved. Achieve the possibility of getting gifts. Therefore, it is possible to give the user an expectation that cannot be obtained when the gift is transported with the same transport amount.

On the other hand, in the game device of Patent Document 1, one gift is placed on one conveyor belt, and the gift is definitely conveyed with the movement of the conveyor belt, so the possibility of unexpected development during the conveying process is low. Specifically, for example, when it is configured to capture the gift by means of action, the gift is released from the captured state during the transportation process and cannot be transported to the predetermined location for the gift. With this liberation, the location of the gift When the relationship develops with a change in the arrangement angle, etc., it changes into a situation that is easy to capture or difficult to capture, or there are multiple gifts, because of the positional relationship with these gifts, it becomes easy to capture or difficult to capture. The granting of gifts has become easier, which actually creates the possibility of the unexpected development of the granting of other gifts. In many cases, this possibility gives users a stimulus and contributes to a part of the fun. However, in the situation of Patent Document 1, the possibility of such a situation development is low. In addition, the movement of the conveyor belt is automatically controlled in response to the result of slotting. Therefore, although the player can participate in the determination of the transport amount through slotting, it is not actually an operation to move the conveyor belt. As a result, there is little room for the player's skills or abilities to be reflected in the movement of such conveyor belts.

In the game devices of Patent Documents 2 and 3, the bonus itself is still used as an amusement body. In addition, the gift is a plurality of gift support parts that operate by changing the exposed area of the opening, and is supported from below on the opening. When the support of the gift is released by the action of the gift support part, the gift falls from the opening to the gift Withdrawal outlet, the dropped gifts are given to the player from the outlet for gifts. The bonus support part of the action target in the plural bonus support part is determined by the player's operation, so it may be said that the bonus is obtained by operating the type of action means according to the user's skills and so on. Therefore, there may be room for reflecting the player's skills and so on in the process of determining the bonus support section of the action target. However, the amount of action of each bonus support unit is only the same, and only the same level of expectation can be given to the user each time. That is, it is impossible to change the degree of expectation related to the one-time play opportunity.

Therefore, the aspect exemplified below aims to provide a game system that can reflect the user's skills and the like in the action of the action means, and can change the user's expectations for the actions of the once action means.

The game system of this reference example provides the use of two or more action means among the plural action means (BC) that act in response to the user’s play behavior input through the input device (4), and participates in the accommodation by the accommodation section (6). The amusement body (30) is configured in a way that the position of the amusement body (30) changes, and when the amusement body moves to the predetermined position (7) through the action of the aforementioned two or more action means in the frame, the gift (30) A game system (1) for obtaining a game with gifts given to the aforementioned user, including: a part of specific means (24), when the aforementioned play behavior includes a part of specific behavior to specify a part of the aforementioned plural action means ，Specify a part of the action means in response to a part of the specific action; the action amount specific means (24), when the aforementioned play behavior includes the action amount specific action used to specify the amount of action of the aforementioned part of the action means, the specific action should be based on the amount of action , Specify the amount of movement of the aforementioned part of the movement means when it is operating; and a part of the movement means (24), based on the specific results of the aforementioned part of the specific means and the aforementioned movement quantity specifying means, make the aforementioned part of the movement means actually operate.

According to this reference example, through a specific action as a part of the play action, a part of the action object is specified as an action means. Therefore, through such a part of the specific behavior, it is possible to give room for reflecting the user's skills and the like in the actions of the action means. In addition, the amount of movement of such a part of the movement means is specified by the amount of movement specifying behavior as a play behavior. Therefore, the amount of movement of such a part of the movement means can be changed by specifying the behavior of the amount of movement. Thereby, the user's expectation for the operation of the once-time operation means can be changed. As a result, the skill of the user can be reflected in the action of the action means, and the user's expectation of the action of the once action means can be changed.

As part of the specific behaviors and the amount of specific behaviors, various play behaviors can also be used. In addition, these part of the specific behaviors and the specific behaviors of the amount of action are regarded as the same common play behavior, as mutually independent play behaviors (including the situation where the play behavior itself is of the same species, that is, two identical play performed separately The status of the behavior) can also be. For example, in the same state of the game system of this reference example, the aforementioned part of the specific means and the aforementioned action amount specific means are used as the aforementioned part of the specific behavior and the aforementioned action amount specific behavior, using a common play behavior, so there should be a common The play behavior may specify the aforementioned part of the action means and the amount of action of the part of the action means respectively. At this time, the same common play behavior can be used to specify both the action means and the amount of action of the action object. Therefore, compared with these individual execution conditions, the user's effort can be omitted. In this way, the convenience of the user can be improved, and the game can be more interesting.

In the case of using the same common play behavior as part of the specific behavior and the amount of motion specific behavior, as the same common play behavior, various behaviors are adopted (not only for the operation of various operating parts, but also for the user's Various actions) are also available. Then, the input device may be configured to input such a common play behavior. Similarly, in order to assist such a common play behavior, various output devices may be used. For example, in the same state of this reference example that uses the same common play behavior as a part of specific behavior and amount of motion specific behavior, the aforementioned part of the specific means is connected to one or more of the aforementioned plural motion means. When the display device (8) of the judging unit (9) is presented in such a way that the action means of the object changes according to the passage of time, as the aforementioned play behavior, when the stop behavior that stops the change of the aforementioned part of the information is executed, the The stopping behavior is used as the aforementioned common play behavior, and the action means corresponding to the part of the information stopped by the stopping action is specified as the aforementioned part of the action means; the aforementioned means of specifying the amount of action is provided in the aforementioned display device. The movement amount information indicating the movement amount of the aforementioned part of the movement means is displayed on the quantity display unit (10) in a manner that changes in accordance with the elapsed time. Similarly, as the aforementioned common play behavior, the aforementioned stop behavior may be used to specify the movement amount corresponding to the movement amount information stopped by the stop behavior as the movement amount of the aforementioned part of the movement means.

In addition, in order to assist the same common play behavior, a display device with a judging section and a quantity display section that changes the presented information as time elapses is used as an output device. As such a common play behavior, use In the case of the stop operation that stops the change of the determination section and the amount display section, as long as the information presented can be changed with the passage of time, it may be appropriately set. For example, by separately presenting information for specifying the value of a part of the action means and information for specifying the value of the action amount, one judging part and one quantity display part can also be provided, and the corresponding plural action means can be respectively provided. A complex number determination unit and a complex number determination unit may also be used. At this time, the number of plural operation means and the number of plural determination parts, the number of plural motion means and the number of plural determination parts, or the number of plural determination parts and the number of plural determination parts may be the same or not. Specifically, for example, in the same state of this reference example using the judging unit and the amount display unit, the aforementioned part of the specific means is that the judging unit includes one or more action means corresponding to the aforementioned one or more action means to accompany the aforementioned stopping behavior to the target When either the specific information or the non-object specific information stops with the passage of time, when the plural determination parts of the aforementioned object specific information and the aforementioned non-object specific information are presented in sequence, the aforementioned object specific information will be used as the aforementioned part of the information, and the corresponding presentation will be presented The aforementioned one or more action means of the judging part of the aforementioned object specific information is specified as the aforementioned part of the action means; the aforementioned action quantity specifying means is that the aforementioned quantity display part contains different movement quantities, and the aforementioned stop action is accompanied by the aforementioned stop action. When the method of stopping either of the information or the non-quantity specific information is accompanied by the passage of time, when the plural quantity display parts of the aforementioned quantity specific information and the aforementioned non-quantity specific information are presented in sequence, the aforementioned quantity specific information is used as the aforementioned movement quantity information, The movement amount corresponding to the aforementioned quantity specifying information may be specified as the movement quantity of the aforementioned part of the movement means. Moreover, in this aspect, the aforementioned multiple number display unit may be provided corresponding to each determination unit.

Two or more means of action can also be involved in the change of the position of the amusement body in various forms. For example, if two or more action methods are used to transport the amusement body, the position of the amusement body can also be changed. For example, when the position of the amusement body is to be changed, other elements can be used to violate the function of the other elements. The way to support the amusement sports, the change of the position of participating in the amusement sports is also possible. For example, gravity may be used as such other elements. That is, for example, two or more action means are supported from below in a way to prevent the amusement body from falling, and the position of the amusement body may be changed. Specifically, for example, in the same state of the game system of this reference example, the plural action means are arranged as an opening for discharging the amusement body of the storage section to the outside of the housing, and is located below the storage section. The outlet (5) that functions as the aforementioned predetermined position, and the opening (7) that opens on the bottom surface of the accommodating portion to connect the outlet (7), when formed in the aforementioned frame, can be formed by the aforementioned two The above operating means may be arranged to support the amusement body from below and form the bottom surface of the receiving portion.

As the operating means, in the case of using a conveying means by conveying the amusement body, such a conveying means may be appropriately constituted. For example, this kind of conveying means may be constructed in such a way that a part of the amusement body is displaced in a predetermined direction by using the pressure of water or air flow. Alternatively, each operating means may be configured to displace a part of the game body in a predetermined direction by pressing a rod-shaped member or a protrusion provided on the rod-shaped member in a predetermined direction. Furthermore, for example, when the amusement body itself is an object that is affected by magnetic force such as metal, or when the amusement body is placed on the placement surface through an instrument that is similarly affected, the various action means are used to cause a part of the amusement body to move through the magnetic force. It is also possible to configure the way of displacement in the specified direction. Moreover, as such an operation means, a belt conveyor that conveys the amusement body by displacing the conveying surface in a predetermined direction may be used. Furthermore, such a belt conveyor, a rod-shaped member, etc. may be configured to use magnetic force to displace a part of the amusement body in a predetermined direction.

Specifically, for example, in the same state of the game system of this reference example, as the plural action means, the part of the conveying surface (DA) supporting a part of the amusement body is used to move the part in a predetermined direction. The plural belt conveyors (BC); the plural belt conveyors may be arranged in such a way that the opening is located at the front end of the predetermined direction. At this time, the amusement system is transported in a predetermined direction by a belt conveyor. Therefore, as long as the belt conveyor does not move in the backward direction opposite to the specified direction, for example, even if the amusement body cannot be transported to the specified position by one degree of transportation, it is not necessary to retreat from that position and continue to move in one direction in the specified direction. Transport. As a result, for example, when the operating direction of the belt conveyor is limited to the predetermined direction, even if the game body cannot be transported to the predetermined position by one degree of transport, the favorable conditions accompanying the transport can be maintained until the next transport. In this way, the user’s expectations related to the acquisition of gifts can be almost directly correlated with the number of play times, and therefore, play can be promoted.

The action means of a part of the action object may be used as one or plural. In addition, in a situation where there are a plurality of movement means for a part of the movement target, the movement means may be operated at an appropriate time. For example, the action periods (including the action start period and the action period) may be consistent or inconsistent. Similarly, in a situation where a part of the action means is plural, the action means may be determined by one chance or divided into a plurality of chances. For example, in the same state of the game system of this reference example, the aforementioned part of the action means is used as the aforementioned part of the action means. When two or more action means are specified, each action means may be operated sequentially. Alternatively, in the same state of the game system of this reference example, the aforementioned part of the action means is used as the aforementioned part of the action means, and when two or more action means are specified, all of the aforementioned part of the action means may be operated at the same time. The influence of these plural action means on the transportation of the amusement body tends to be greater than the situation where each action means individually moves in order. Therefore, by adjusting the action period of the plural action means, the difficulty of obtaining the gift can be adjusted. Specifically, as a part of the action means, the situation where two or more action means all act at the same time, compared to the situation where the two or more action means act in sequence as a part of the action means, it can reduce the difficulty of obtaining gifts. . In this way, the user's expectation of obtaining gifts can be raised.
