[The problem to be solved by the invention]

The game devices of Patent Documents 1 to 3 all belong to the type of prize-obtaining games that aim to obtain prizes through actions by means of actions, and the game of Patent Document 1 corresponds to the type of obtaining prizes by conveying prizes by means of action. game. In a bonus acquisition game of this type of conveyance, the conveyance process of the bonus by such an action means and the skill or ability to operate the action means are often functions as part of the fun of the game. In addition, in the game of Patent Document 1, the conveyor belt is operated with the conveying amount corresponding to the result of the slot, so for example, if the result corresponding to the larger conveying amount can be obtained by using the slot, it is possible to increase the chance of playing once. Achieve the possibility of getting a giveaway. Therefore, the user can be given an expectation that cannot be obtained when the gift is conveyed with the same conveyance amount.

On the other hand, in the game device of Patent Document 1, one prize is arranged on one conveyor belt, and the prize is always conveyed with the operation of the conveyor belt, so the possibility of an accidental development during the conveying process is low. Specifically, for example, when the gift is captured by an action method, the gift is released from the captured state during the conveyance and cannot be transported to the predetermined position for giving the gift. With this release, the position of the gift The relationship develops into a situation that is easy to capture or difficult to capture due to changes in the placement angle, or when there are multiple gifts, it becomes easy to capture or difficult to capture due to the positional relationship with the gifts, or, conversely, other Giving of premiums becomes easy, and it actually causes the possibility of unexpected development of other premiums. In many cases, the user is stimulated by such a possibility to contribute to a part of the fun. However, in the case of Patent Document 1, the possibility of such a situation developing is low. In addition, the movement of the conveyor belt is automatically controlled according to the result of the draw. Therefore, although the player can participate in the determination of the conveying amount through the slot, it is not actually an operation to move the conveyor belt. As a result, there is little room for the player's skill or ability to be reflected in the operation of such a conveyor belt.

In the game devices of Patent Documents 2 and 3, the bonus itself is still used as the game body. Also, the gift is a plurality of gift support parts that operate by changing the exposed area of the opening, and is supported on the opening from below. 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. A take-out port, and the dropped bonus is given to the player from the bonus take-out port. Among the plurality of bonus support parts, the bonus support part of the action object is determined by the player's operation, so it may be said that the bonus acquisition game of the type of operating the action means according to the user's skill or the like. Therefore, there may be room for reflecting the player's skill or the like in the process of determining the bonus support part of the action target. However, the amount of operation of each bonus support unit is only the same, and the user can only be given the same degree of expectation every time. In other words, it is not possible to change the expectation related to a one-time play opportunity.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a game system that can reflect the user's skill etc. on the action of the action means, and can change the user's expectation of the action of the one-time action means. [means to solve the problem]

The consideration collection agency may be configured to collect, for example, a predetermined amount of coins (including banknotes, tokens, etc. surrogate money) as the predetermined consideration, or may be configured to collect other various values such as electronic money (including various points). You can also. However, these illustrations are omitted.

Next, a method of playing the gift game and the relationship between the pressing operation of the pressing button 4 and the operation of the belt conveyor unit 3 will be described. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a method of playing the gift game. The example of FIG. 7 shows a situation in which the bonus 30 itself is used as the game body. At this time, the bonus 30 itself is discharged from the discharge port 5, and the bonus 30 is directly given to the user by this discharge. Moreover, at this time, as shown in FIG. 7, the bonus 30 is set on the belt conveyor unit 3 so that it may be located in the position which straddles the plurality of belt conveyors BC. That is, the bonus 30 is directly arrange|positioned on the conveyance surface DA so that each part may contact the conveyance surface DA of the belt conveyor BC. Specifically, since the belt conveyor unit 3 includes 10 belt conveyors BC that can be driven independently of each other, the belt conveyor unit 3 is formed by the aggregation of the individual conveying surfaces DA (upper surface) of the respective belt conveyors BC. The conveying surface DA of the present invention has a function as an arrangement surface (the bottom surface of the accommodating portion 6 ) of the gift 30 . As a result, 10 conveying surfaces DA corresponding to 10 belt conveyors BC are formed on the conveying surface of the belt conveyor unit 3 (hereinafter referred to as the arrangement surface DAG), and are divided into the respective conveying surfaces DA. The bonus 30 is arrange|positioned so that a plurality of conveyance surfaces DA of such 10 conveyance surfaces DA may be straddled.

On the other hand, each indication mark part 10 of each LED display part 9 is lit so as to indicate the operation amount of the belt conveyor BC corresponding to each LED display part 9 . Specifically, each indicator portion 10 of each LED display portion 9 informs the operation amount of the belt conveyor BC by the number of the boxes 10a as described above. Therefore, the respective indicator portions 10 are lit so that the number of the blocks 10a in the lighting varies. Furthermore, each instruction|indication mark part 10 is used for the identification of the belt conveyor BC which is an operation|movement object, and its operation amount. Specifically, each indicator portion 10 is sequentially changed to light up in other colors (intention to visually look different, including only an 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 is lit and stopped in another color is set as an operation object, and the amount of operation indicated by the indicator portion 10 is specified for the belt conveyor, respectively. The amount of movement of the machine BC.

In the example of FIG. 7, the indicator mark part 10 during lighting is shown with a left oblique line. Specifically, among the three indicator portions 10 of each LED display portion 9, the five blocks 10a (all) in the central indicator portion 10 are lit, and the three boxes in the indicator portions 10 adjacent to the left and right sides thereof are lit. 10a Light up. In this case, the central indicator portion 10 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, two types of motion amounts are indicated by the three indicator portions 10 . Moreover, the indication mark part 10 located in the center of the 4th LED display part 9 from the right is shown with a right oblique line so as to show another color. That is, by pressing the push button 4, the indicator portion 10 located at the center of the fourth LED display portion 9 from the right (hereinafter, regardless of the position, there is an indicator portion 10 with such other colors). The change of color matching is stopped in the state called the other color indication indicator portion 10S). 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 operation of the maximum amount of operation indicated by the indicator portion 10S is indicated by the other color. In this example, the fourth belt conveyor BC from the right, which is the object of operation, functions as an operation means as part of the present invention. In addition, the operation of pressing the push button 4 is used as a common game action of the present invention, and such a pressing operation has a function as a stop action of the present invention. As a result, such a pressing operation has the functions of both the specific behavior and the motion amount specific behavior as a part of the present invention. Furthermore, the number of boxes 10a in the lighting of each indicator portion 10 functions as the motion amount information of the present invention. In addition, lighting of other colors and general lighting have functions as object specific information and non-specific information of the present invention, respectively. Similarly, the other color indicator portion 10S functions as a determination portion for presenting partial information and object-specific information of the present invention. Then, the number of squares 10a illuminated in the indicator portion 10S in other colors, and the number of squares 10a illuminated in the indicator portion 10 other than that in the indicator portion 10 have quantity specifying information and non-quantity, respectively, as the present invention. Functions for specific information.

In addition, in the example of FIG. 7, the bonus 30 is not flat, and has a shape including unevenness. Therefore, the bonus 30 contacts only a part of the arrangement surface DAG. Specifically, the bonus 30 touches only the conveying surfaces DA of the 4th, 5th, and 7th belt conveyors BC from the left (for convenience of explanation, the colors are colored in a dot pattern). The load is supported from below on the conveyance surface DA. That is, the bonus 30 is substantially supported by the three conveyance surfaces DA. Therefore, only the belt conveyor BC which has these three conveyance surfaces DA participates in the conveyance (movement or displacement) of the bonus 30. As a result, in the case of this example, in order to convey (obtain) the gift 30 , the user is required to operate the three belt conveyors BC more significantly by pressing the button 4 . That is, the user is required to play a game of conveying a part of the bonus 30 in contact with the conveying surfaces DA through the operation of the three belt conveyors BC in stages. On the other hand, depending on the form and the like of the bonus 30, even among the three belt conveyors BC, the distribution of the load is not necessarily uniform. Therefore, if all the three belt conveyors BC are not operated, the gift 30 may not move entirely (not toward the opening 7), and the gift 30 may be operated by the belt conveyor BC with high load distribution. A state of substantial movement as a whole. As a result, a user's request is also made to estimate the distribution of the load among the belt conveyors BC (for example, the one with a higher load distribution, in other words, may participate in the conveyance of the gift 30). Furthermore, since each part of the gift 30 is supported by each of the belt conveyors BC in this way, the conveyance degree of each part of the gift 30 varies, and the belt conveyor BC supporting each part may change according to the conveyance degree. Therefore, the user is required to play a game that takes such changes into consideration. 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. Furthermore, the three belt conveyors BC, the fourth, fifth, and seventh belt conveyors BC from the left in contact with the bonus 30 so as to participate in the conveyance of the bonus 30, function as two or more operation means of the present invention. Similarly, each of the three conveyance surfaces DA of the equal belt conveyor BC has the functions of two or more areas of the present invention.

In addition, in the arrangement surface DAG, the bonus 30 (game body) of an appropriate form (size, shape, etc.) may be arranged across the plurality of conveyance surfaces DA. Or conversely, the belt conveyor unit 3 of a suitable form may be used so that the gift 30 of a suitable form may be arrange|positioned. Moreover, only one belt conveyor BC may actually be in contact with the bonus 30 (or load the bonus 30 ) as long as the user visually sees that it is straddling the plurality of conveyance surfaces DA (or there is a possibility). The same applies to the belt conveyor BC that participates in the conveyance of the bonus 30 . That is, as long as the user visually sees that the plurality of conveying surfaces DA are involved in the conveyance of the bonus 30 (or there is a possibility), there may be only one belt conveyor BC that actually participates in the conveyance (load) of the bonus 30 . . In this way, it is sufficient to interpret the intention of the explanation that the plurality of conveyance surfaces DA are involved in the conveyance.

In addition, the change of the color of the indicator part 10 is not limited to the form which occurs one at a time. For example, such a change occurs simultaneously in the plurality of belt conveyors BC, and the plurality of indicator portions 10 may be stopped so that the indicator portions 10 have the functions of the indicator portions 10S in other colors by pressing the push button 4 once. That is, the change in the color of the indicator portion 10 may be appropriately generated so as to indicate one or more belt conveyors BC. Furthermore, when the plurality of indicator portions 10 have the functions of the indicator portions 10S in other colors, the plurality of belt conveyors BC corresponding to the indicator portions 10S in other colors may all operate once, or may operate individually in sequence. The same also applies to the belt conveyor BC of the plurality of operation objects corresponding to the plurality of times of play when the number of times of play is provided in accordance with the set consideration. That is, the belt conveyor BC corresponding to a plurality of action objects of a plurality of times of play may be operated individually in sequence for each game. The belt conveyor BC can also operate at the same time. That is, the belt conveyor BC of such a plurality of operation objects may operate at an appropriate timing. When the plural belt conveyors GC are specified as the belt conveyors BC to be operated, such plural belt conveyors GC have functions as two or more operation means of the present invention.

8 to 10 , the relationship between each LED display part 9 and the belt conveyor BC to be driven, and the relationship between the lighting state of each indicator part 10 and the movement amount of the belt conveyor BC, together with the flow of the gift game, will be described. Further explanation. Gift games are provided for a specified number of plays together with the collection of a specified consideration. Specifically, with the collection of the predetermined consideration, the change of the color of each indicator portion 10 is started first, and the change is stopped by the pressing operation of the pressing button 4 . Next, the belt conveyor BC to be driven and its motion amount are determined according to the stop position, and the actual belt conveyor BC to be driven is driven by its motion amount. The predetermined number of times to repeat the above is given as one time from the start of the change of the color matching to the actual driving of the belt conveyor BC. As an example, a gift game is provided in such a flow.

FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the relationship between each LED display unit 9 and the belt conveyor BC to be driven. As shown in FIG. 8 , as consideration is collected (for example, a coin is put into the consideration collection mechanism), each indicator portion 10 changes color one color at a time from the left end. In other words, each indicator portion 10 is lit so that the color changes are sequentially moved from the left end to the right end. In addition, when the color change reaches the right end, it occurs again at the left end, and similarly moves toward the right end. That is, the color change is repeated in one direction from the left end to the right end. Furthermore, when the plurality of belt conveyor units 3 are installed in the gaming machine 1, such a color change occurs in a predetermined order corresponding to each belt conveyor unit 3. For example, when two belt conveyor units 3 are arranged side by side, they are generated in order from each indicator portion 10 of the left end belt conveyor unit 3 to each indicator portion 10 of the right end belt conveyor unit. That is, in such a manner as to span the two belt conveyor units 3 , it occurs sequentially from the leftmost index mark portion 10 toward the rightmost index mark portion 10 . On the other hand, when the push button 4 is pressed, that is, when the operation of pressing the push button 4 is performed (hereinafter, there is a situation called stop operation), the color change is stopped according to the operation period. Then, the belt conveyor BC corresponding to the LED display portion 9 including the instruction indicator portion 10 for stopping by the color change is specified as the belt conveyor BC to be driven.

In addition, in the example of FIG. 8, only the LED unit 8 on the lower side of the two LED units 8 (refer to FIG. 3) located up and down so as to hold each belt conveyor BC is disclosed, but the LED unit 8 on the upper side is also shown. It operates similarly to the LED unit 8 on the lower side. That is, the two LED units 8 both perform the same action in a mutually synchronized manner. Since the bonus 30 moves at any time, there is a possibility that one of them is hidden by the bonus 30 (the user cannot see it). However, even if this happens, the display of the other side notifies the change of coloring and the like. That is, the LED units 8 in the front and rear are mutually presenting the same display in such a way that the other assists the deficiencies of either one. In addition, the change of the color of each LED display part 9 may occur suitably. For example, the change of the color of each LED display part 9 may occur so that it does not circulate but turns back. Specifically, the change in color of all the indicator parts 10 included in the belt conveyor unit 3 occurs in sequence from the left end to the right, and after reaching the right end, it turns back from the indicator part 10 at the right end. The indicator portions 10 toward the left end may be sequentially generated. In the case where there are plural belt conveyor units 3, it also occurs from the left end to the right end in the all indication mark parts 10 of the full belt conveyor unit 3, and after reaching the indication mark part 10 at the right end of the right end belt conveyor unit 3, The way of turning it back may also occur toward the indicator portion 10 at the left end of the belt conveyor unit 3 at the left end. Alternatively, such color matching changes are randomly and sequentially changed in the all-indicating marking portion 10 .

Furthermore, the change in color of each LED display part 9 may be caused by an appropriate number of indicator parts 10 . For example, such a color change may occur every two indicator portions 10 . In addition, such two indicator portions 10 may be continuous or discontinuous. The color change of the indicator portions 10 may be stopped by a one-time stop operation, or may be stopped by a second stop operation corresponding to each indicator portion 10 . And the belt conveyor BC corresponding to the instruction|indication marker part 10 may operate|move according to the movement amount of each instruction|indication marker part 10. Specifically, when the two indicator parts 10 of the color change correspond to two belt conveyors BC, the two belt conveyors BC may be operated with the movement amount corresponding to the individual indicator part 10 . Alternatively, when the two indicator portions 10 of the color change correspond to one belt conveyor BC, one of the belt conveyors BC may be operated by the total amount of the movement amounts indicated by the two indicator portions 10 respectively. Alternatively, when the change of color in one belt conveyor BC is stopped, a benefit such as an additional movement amount may be given. That is, one of the belt conveyors BC may be operated by an operation amount equal to or greater than the total amount.

Furthermore, each LED display part 9 is not limited to the structure which corresponds to one belt conveyor BC. For example, the LED display part 9 corresponding to the plurality of belt conveyors BC may be provided. Specifically, in the belt conveyor unit 3, the LED display part 9 corresponding to the two belt conveyors BC may be provided between the two belt conveyors BC. Then, when the color change in each indicator portion 10 of the LED display portion 9 is stopped, the two belt conveyors BC (for example, the belt conveyors BC on both sides) corresponding to the LED display portion 9 are stopped by the color matching indicator. The movement of the part 10 may be performed according to the movement amount. That is, when one belt conveyor BC is operated by the movement amount of the normal one indicating mark portion 10, two belt conveyors BC corresponding to twice the movement amount may be operated. In this way, an appropriate discount may be provided for the operation amount of each belt conveyor BC. On the other hand, this kind of privilege (the situation in which the plurality of belt conveyors BC operate is more likely to improve the conveyance efficiency of the gift 30 than the situation in which the plurality of belt conveyors BC operate alone, so the situation including the change in the color of the plural indicator parts 10 is also included. Yes) is limited to the situation where additional consideration is collected (for example, twice the price of normal games, or 1.5 times the price, etc.). Moreover, the belt BC1 itself may have the function of such an LED display part 9. Specifically, such an LED display part 9, or an equivalent display part (that which shows the belt conveyor BC of an operation object and its operation amount) may be provided in the belt BC1 itself. For example, as such an equivalent display unit, a projector or the like may be used that projects the belt conveyor BC to be operated and information (including, for example, only the presence or absence of light and the change in color) indicating the operation target belt conveyor BC and its operation amount on the belt BC1. That is, with such a projector or the like, the belt BC1 itself may have a function as a display unit that shows the belt conveyor BC to be operated and the amount of operation thereof.

FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the relationship between the lighting state of each indicator part 10 and the operation amount of the belt conveyor BC. As shown in FIG. 9 , when the five blocks 10a (all) are lit in a discolored state (the state where the indicator portions 10 of the five blocks 10a are lit in a different color indicator portion 10S), the action amount ratio is 3 When the boxes 10a are lit in a discolored state (the situation where the indicator portions 10 of the three boxes 10a lit are indicator portions 10S of other colors), there are many cases. Specifically, since a predetermined amount of motion is assigned to one block 10a, when three blocks 10a are lit in a discolored state, the belt conveyor BC is driven only by the motion amount of the three blocks 10a. In addition, the movement width (pitch amount) 40 of the conveying surface DA of the belt conveyor BC moving in a predetermined direction is determined in accordance with this amount of movement, so the movement width 40A when the three boxes 10a are lit in a discolored state is naturally The movement width 40B (about 1.7 times the movement width 40A of 3 minutes) at the time of lighting in the discolored state is less than five squares 10a (all). The gift 30 is moved from the original position OP in response to the movement width 40 . Therefore, when the change of color is stopped in the indicator portion 10 illuminated by the five blocks 10a, 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, the belt conveyor BC with the same load distribution can be driven closer to the opening. 7 ways to carry free gift 30. Therefore, the user is required to perform a stop operation of stopping the color change in the indicator portion 10 (the indicator portion 10 in which the five boxes 10a are lit) with a larger amount of movement.

In addition, the assignment of the amount of operation of the three indicator portions 10 may be appropriately performed. For example, two blocks 10a in the indicator portion 10 on the left are lit, three blocks 10a in the indicator portion 10 on the right are lit, and four blocks 10a in the indicator portion 10 in the center are lit. In addition, among the three indicator portions 10, the indicator portion 10 indicating the largest amount of motion is not limited to the center. Such an indication mark part 10 may be arrange|positioned in the appropriate position including the left and right. In addition, the amount of movement of the block 10a during 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 configuration in which the number of blocks 10a in the lighting corresponds to a line. The amount of movement indicated by each indicator portion 10 may be appropriately allocated according to the number of blocks 10a in the lighting.

Furthermore, the number of the indicator 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 all the LED display parts may be provided instead of the indication mark part 10 of each LED display part 9 . At this time, in such an indicator, the amount of the scale (including the box-shaped one that is the same as the box 10a) indicating the amount of movement may be changed in accordance with the elapsed time. Then, the change of such a scale may be stopped by stopping the operation. Alternatively, a single numerical value display unit common to all the LED display units may be provided, and the change of the numerical value of the numerical value display unit which changes according to the elapsed time may be stopped by a stop operation. Then, the numerical value at the time of the stop may have a function as the action amount. In this case, the information of such a numerical value may function as the motion amount information of the present invention. As a result, the number of the indication mark indicating the amount of movement and the number of the belt conveyors BC that operate in accordance with it is not limited to 1 to 1, and may be associated with an appropriate ratio. The same applies to the LED display unit. That is, instead of a plurality of LED display parts, a display part that presents information such as the numerical value displayed by each belt conveyor BC is provided, and the information is stopped by stopping the operation to display the information of a part of the belt conveyor BC. Changes are also possible. In this case, the information of such numerical values may function as a part of the information of the present invention.

Moreover, there is a possibility that various forms of bonuses 30 are arranged in the belt conveyor unit 3 . For example, even with the same shape, the gift 30 having a larger size may be arranged, and the gift 30 having a smaller size may be arranged. In the case of the gift 30 having a small size, the distance to the opening 7 tends to be relatively larger than that of the gift 30 having a large size. Therefore, at this time, if the amount of action in the case of the small bonus 30 is not set larger than the amount of action in the case of the large bonus 30, the user may feel unfair (or relative to one play) decrease in value). Therefore, the amount of movement configured in accordance with the number of the boxes 10a during lighting can be appropriately changed by the manager of the game machine 1 (eg, the owner of the game machine 1, the operator of a predetermined facility, etc.). Furthermore, for example, when the game machine 1 is provided with a sensor capable of detecting the size of the gift 30, the game machine 1 (the control unit 21) automatically performs the setting of the action amount according to the detection result of the sensor. Can. The same applies to the situation where the amount of movement is changed due to factors other than the size of the bonus 30 .

FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a change in the amount of movement that may occur in the indicator portion 10 having the same number of blocks 10a during lighting. As shown in FIG. 10 , even in the state of the indicator portion 10 with the same number of boxes 10a being lit, the movement width 40 changes according to the setting of the administrator. Specifically, even in the case of the indicator portion 10 with the same number of boxes 10a being lit, the movement range 40C when the larger gift 30 is arranged on the belt conveyor unit 3 is smaller than that when the smaller gift is arranged. In the form of the movement width 40D at 30 o'clock, the movement amount corresponding to the number of the 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 action amount is not limited to the situation where the size of the bonus 30 changes, and may be performed in an appropriate situation.

Next, the procedure of the display control process and the drive control process will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12 . Both display control processing and drive control processing are performed by the control unit 21 . The display control processing is processing for controlling the display of each LED display unit 9 . More specifically, the color matching of each indicator portion 10 during lighting is changed in a predetermined order, and processing for stopping 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 a predetermined change start condition is satisfied (for example, when a coin or the like is charged as described above), and first of all, the indicator parts included in the upper and lower LED units 8 are displayed. The lighting color of 10 is changed in order from the left end corresponding to each LED unit 8 (step S101). That is, the display control part 23 controls the lighting of each indicator part 10 so that the coloring changes sequentially from the left end to the right end as time elapses. In addition, 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 carried out in such a way that the order of the respective indicator portions 10 occurs. That is, the display control unit 23 causes such a change in order from the leftmost indicator portion 10 to the rightmost indicator portion 10 so as to span the two belt conveyor units 3 . Furthermore, the display control part 23 makes such a change circulate in order from the left end to the right end, and repeatedly occurs in one direction. On the other hand, the display control section 23 performs such a change in a synchronized manner in the two LED units 8 . That is, the display control unit 23 performs the same change corresponding to each LED unit 8 in such a manner that the changes of the upper and lower LED units 8 are synchronized.

Next, the display control unit 23 determines whether or not a stop operation has been performed, that is, whether or not 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 determines whether or not the stop operation has been performed at a predetermined cycle. That is, the display control unit 23 repeatedly executes the process 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 changing the color matching in accordance with the timing of the stop operation (step S103). Then, the display control unit 23 ends the current processing after stopping the color change. Thereby, the colors of the indicator portions 10 during lighting are changed in a predetermined order. Then, such a change may be stopped by stopping the operation.

On the other hand, the drive control process is a process for driving each belt conveyor BC. Specifically, the drive control process is to specify the belt conveyor BC of the driving target and its operation amount according to the stop operation from the full belt conveyor BC, and use the driving amount to actually drive the belt conveyor BC of the driving target. deal with. 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 process of FIG. 12 when the display control process ends, and first acquires the stop position of the change in color of the indicator 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 unit 10, and identifies the belt conveyor BC corresponding to the LED display unit 9 as the belt conveyor BC to be driven. Next, the drive control part 24 specifies the movement amount of the belt conveyor BC of the drive object specified in step S202 (S203). Specifically, the drive control unit 24 discriminates the number of blocks 10a that are lit in the indicator section 10 of the stop position, and identifies each block 10a based on the previous setting results (including the setting results by the administrator). The amount of action (or the amount of action corresponding to the number of boxes 10a). Then, the drive control unit 24 acquires the motion amount corresponding to the number of the blocks 10a in the identified lighting based on the motion amount of each of the specified blocks 10a, and specifies the motion amount as the belt conveyance to be driven. The driving amount of the machine BC. In addition, when a plurality of belt conveyors are specified as the belt conveyors to be driven by the stop operation, the drive control unit 24 specifies the plurality of belt conveyors and the amount of movement in steps S202 and S203. Furthermore, when the plurality of belt conveyors corresponding to the plurality of times of play are simultaneously driven, the drive control unit 24 determines whether or not the identification of the full belt conveyors corresponding to the plurality of times of play and the amount of motion has been completed after step S203, and in this case, If the specification has not been completed, the process of step S204 may be retained until the specification is completed.

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 such a manner that the belt conveyor BC specified in step S202 actually performs the driving operation (conveying operation) with the movement amount specified in step S203 . Then, the drive control unit 24 ends the current processing 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 is actually operated by its movement amount.

As described above, according to this aspect, the arrangement surface DAG is divided into 10 conveyance surfaces corresponding to 10 belt conveyors BC so that the bonus 30 is positioned over the conveyance surfaces DA of two or more belt conveyors BC. DA, the belt conveyor BC corresponding to each conveyance surface DA conveys a part (part) of the gift 30 located on each conveyance surface DA in a predetermined direction (forward). In other words, since the ten belt conveyors BC each share the conveyance of a part of the gifts 30 on each of the conveying surfaces DA, the distribution of the gifts 30 over the two or more conveying surfaces DA is permitted. Thereby, it is possible to make the arrangement and conveyance of the gift 30 not only dependent on one of the action means such as a belt conveyor or a gripper arm (a well-known operation means of the type of capturing the gift 30, hoisting and conveying), etc. The conveyable range (the condition of the gripper arm depends on the length and opening angle of the claws, or the force of capture, etc.) is shared by the plurality of conveying surfaces DA and the corresponding plurality of belt conveyors BC. Therefore, even an article that cannot be arranged and transported by the transportable range of only one operation means can be arranged and transported by such a plurality of transport surfaces DA and a corresponding plurality of belt conveyors BC. As a result, by this sharing, items having a greater variety of forms can be placed on the placement surface DAG as a bonus 30 than in the case where the transportable range of only one operating means is formed on the placement surface DAG, so that it is possible to Increased freedom of items that can be used as bonus 30.

Moreover, by the user's stop operation (operation of pressing the push button 4 ), the belt conveyor BC to be operated is specified. Therefore, through such a stopping operation, for example, a technique for recognizing a more suitable (higher load distribution) belt conveyor BC, or a technique for stopping the color change in the more suitable belt conveyor BC, etc. can be given. Various skills and abilities are reflected in the operation of the belt conveyor BC, in other words, the room for conveying the gift 30 . As a result, various forms of gifts 30 can be targeted, and a conveyance process for conveying such gifts 30 can be provided, and the skill of operating the belt conveyor BC to be operated can be reflected in the conveyance. With such content, the fun of the game can be enhanced.

Furthermore, according to the stop operation for specifying the belt conveyor BC of 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 skill and the like can be reflected in the operation of the belt conveyor BC (in other words, the conveyance of the gift 30 ) to be operated, and the user's expectation of the operation of the belt conveyor BC can be changed. . In addition, both the identification of the belt conveyor BC to be operated and the amount of operation thereof can be specified by the same common stop operation. Therefore, compared with the situation in which these operations are realized by individual operations, it is possible to Omit the effort of the user. In this way, the convenience of the user can be further improved, and thus the fun of the game.

On the other hand, a part of the gift 30 (the part on the conveyance surface DA) is conveyed forward (the direction of the opening 7) by each belt conveyor BC. Therefore, as long as each belt conveyor BC does not move to the rear (reverse direction) opposite to the front, for example, even if the gift 30 cannot be conveyed to the opening 7 by one-time conveyance, it is not necessary to retreat from the position, and the operation to the opening can be continued. Conveying 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-time conveying, the advantageous situation (the situation close to the opening 7) accompanying the conveying can be obtained. It will be maintained until the next transfer opportunity. Thereby, the user's expectation of obtaining a gift can be almost directly related to the number of games played, so that the game can be promoted. In addition, the influence of each belt conveyor BC on the conveyance of the gift 30 tends to be larger in a situation in which a plurality of belt conveyors BC are operated at one time than in a situation in which each belt conveyor BC individually operates one at a time. Therefore, when there are a plurality of belt conveyors BC to be operated, by adjusting the operation timing of each belt conveyor, the difficulty level of the bonus game can be adjusted. Specifically, in a situation where all the plurality of belt conveyors BC to be actuated operate at the same time, it is possible to reduce the difficulty of obtaining a gift compared to the situation in which they operate sequentially. Thereby, the user's expectation for obtaining a gift can be increased.

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

The present invention is not limited to the above-described form, and may be implemented in a form to which appropriate modifications or changes are added. For example, in the above-mentioned form, the bonus 30 itself is used as the game body. However, the amusement body is not limited to this form. For example, the amusement body may be an item other than the bonus 30 . That is, the form of the game body related to the difficulty or fun of the game may be different from the bonus. Then, when the game body and the bonus are different items, the bonus may be given to the user by exchanging the game body discharged from the discharge port 5 with the bonus by the operator of the facility or the like.

Moreover, in the above-mentioned form, the push button 4 is provided in the game machine 1, and the bonus game is played on the front surface of the game machine 1. FIG. 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 through a network, and various user terminals (such as personal computers, smart phones, and other game devices, etc.) connected to such a server device. The belt conveyor BC of the game machine 1 may be remotely operated. Then, the gift may be given to the user by mail or electronic means. That is, the gift may be used as an electronic item. In addition, in such a situation, the operation of the belt conveyor BC may be indirectly controlled by instructing the game machine 1 through the server device through the user terminal, by instructing the game machine 1 to stop the operation. Then, by executing such an instruction to indirectly control the belt conveyor BC, the server device may have all or part of the functions of a part of the specifying means, the movement amount specifying means, and a part of the movement 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 .

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

In addition, the belt conveyor BC system 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 shape. For example, various protrusions and grooves may be provided in the belt BC1. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a perspective view of the belt conveyor unit 3 according to the modification. In addition, the example of FIG. 13 shows the case where various protrusions BCB are provided in belt BC1. As shown in FIG. 13 , such a protrusion BCB includes a small protrusion BCB1 with a small drop and a large protrusion BCB2 with a large drop (in the example of FIG. 13 , the width between the protrusions BCB is also larger than that of the small protrusion BCB1 ). , and arrow-shaped projections BCB3 may be used. The conveying force of each belt conveyor BC can be adjusted by such protrusions BCB. Specifically, when such protrusions BCB are provided, the gift 30 can be hooked by the protrusions BCB, so that the conveying force can be improved compared with the flat state. Such a rise in the conveyance force increases as the drop of the protrusions BCB increases (for example, the conveyance force of the large protrusions BCB2 increases more than the small protrusions BCB1). As a result, by such protrusions BCB, the difficulty of the bonus acquisition game can be reduced. In addition, in the state of the arrow projection BCB3, since the conveyance direction can be indicated by the shape, the fun of the game can also be affected. For example, when a plurality of belt conveyor units 3 are installed in different conveying directions, it may be difficult to grasp the conveying direction, but the arrow projection BCB3 makes it easier to grasp. For example, there are protrusions BCB etc. which have the same level difference and different interval widths, and various protrusions BCB for difficulty adjustment may be provided on the belt BC1. Furthermore, each belt conveyor BC system may be configured to be capable of being conveyed in both front and rear directions. Then, such a conveyance direction may also be added as a kind of gameplay. Specifically, for example, when a conveyance display unit that displays to change the conveyance direction is provided, the change in the conveyance display unit is stopped by the stop operation in the same manner as the movement amount, etc., and the belt conveyor BC is stopped in the direction of the Movement in the conveying direction is also possible. Alternatively, when a key corresponding to each conveying direction is provided, the conveying direction may be designated by the user through selection of such a key.

Hereinafter, various aspects of the present invention derived from the above-described embodiments and modifications will be described. In addition, in the following description, in order to understand each aspect of this invention easily, the corresponding member shown in the drawing is attached|subjected with parenthesis, However, This invention is not limited to the aspect of illustration by this.

The game system of the present invention provides two or more action means of a plurality of action means (BC) that act in response to the user's play behavior input through the input device (4), and participates in the storage of the storage unit (6). A frame body (2) arranged in such a way that the position of the amusement body (30) is changed, in the frame body, when the amusement body moves to a predetermined position (7) through the action of the two or more action means, the gift ( 30) A game system (1) for giving a gift to the user to obtain a game, which includes: a part of specific means (24), when the play behavior includes a part of specific behavior for specifying a part of the plurality of action means, In response to this part of the specific action, a specific part of the action means; the action amount specific means (24), when the aforementioned play behavior includes the action amount specific action for specifying the action amount of the aforementioned part of the action means, the action amount specific action, The amount of movement when the part of the movement means is specified; and the part of the movement means (24), which makes the part of the movement means actually act according to the specified result of the part of the specified means and the movement amount specified means.

According to the present invention, an action means that is part of a specific action object is specified by specifying the action as a part of the play action. Therefore, by such a part of specific behaviors, it is possible to give a leeway to reflect the user's skill or the like in the motion of the motion means. In addition, the action amount of such a part of the action means is specified by the action amount specifying action which is the play action. Therefore, the motion amount of such a part of the motion means can be changed by the motion amount specifying behavior. This makes it possible to change the user's expectation of the operation of the one-time operation means. As a result, the user's skill and the like can be reflected in the movement of the action means, and the user's expectation of the movement of the one-time action means can be changed.

Various play behaviors may be used as a part of specific behaviors and specific behaviors of action amount. In addition, these part of the specific behavior and the specific behavior of the amount of action are regarded as the same one common game behavior, as independent game behaviors (including the situation where the game behavior itself is the same type, that is, two identical games executed separately). behavior) can also be used. For example, in an aspect of the game system of the present invention, the above-mentioned part of the specific means and the above-mentioned action amount specific means are used as the above-mentioned part of the specific behavior and the above-mentioned action amount specific behavior, using a common play behavior, so as to respond to the one common game For the behavior, the aforementioned part of the operation means and the movement amount of the part of the operation means may be specified separately. In this case, both the action means and the action amount of the action object can be specified by a common play behavior, so that the user's effort can be omitted compared to the individual execution situations. In this way, the convenience of the user can be improved, and thus the fun of the game can be improved.

In the case where one of the same common game behaviors is used as a part of the specific behavior and the specific behavior of the action amount, various behaviors (not only for various operations of various operation parts, but also for the user) are adopted as such one common game behavior. various actions) can also be used. Then, the input device may be configured so as to input such a common play behavior. Likewise, various output devices may be used in order to assist such a common play behavior. For example, in an aspect of the present invention that utilizes the same one common play action as a part of the specific action and the action amount specific action, the aforesaid part of the specific means is connected to a symbol representing one or more action means among the plurality of action means. A part of the information is presented by the display device (8) of the judgment unit (9) so as to change the action means of the object according to the elapse of time, as the above-mentioned play action, when the stop action is executed to stop the change of the above-mentioned part of the information, as the above-mentioned A common game action uses the stop action to specify the action means corresponding to the aforesaid part of the information stopped by the stop action as the action means of the aforesaid part; The movement amount information of the movement amount of a part of the movement means is displayed on the volume display part (10) so as to change according to the elapsed time. In addition, as a common play action, the action amount of the action amount information of the action amount information to be stopped by the stop action may be specified as the action amount of the above-mentioned part of the action means.

In addition, in order to assist the same one common game action, a display device having a judgment unit and a quantity display unit that changes the presented information with the passage of time is used as an output device, and as such one common game action, use In the case of stopping the operation of stopping the change of the determination unit and the quantity display unit, the determination unit and the quantity display unit may be appropriately provided as long as the information presented can be changed with the passage of time. For example, a determination unit and a quantity display unit may be provided in such a way that information for specifying the numerical value of a certain part of the action means and information for specifying the numerical value of the action amount may be provided, and the information corresponding to the plurality of action means may be provided separately. A complex number determination unit and a complex number determination unit may be used. In this case, the number of plural operation means and the number of plural determination parts, the number of plural operation 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 an aspect of the present invention using the determination unit and the quantity display unit, the part of the specifying means is that the determination unit includes one or more operation means respectively corresponding to the above, so as to specify the object in accordance with the stop action. When either the information or the non-target-specific information is stopped in accordance with the elapse of time, and the plural determination units of the above-mentioned target-specific information and the above-mentioned non-target-specific information are respectively presented in sequence, the above-mentioned target-specific information is used as a part of the above-mentioned information. The one or more action means of the determination part of the object specific information is specified as a part of the action means; the action amount specifying means is that the amount display part includes respectively indicating different action amounts, so as to accompany the stop action, in the amount When either the specific information or the non-quantity specific information is stopped in accordance with the elapse of time, and the multiple-quantity display parts of the above-mentioned specific information and the above-mentioned non-quantitative specific information are respectively presented in sequence, the above-mentioned action amount information is used as the above-mentioned specific information. The action amount corresponding to the aforementioned amount specifying information may be specified as the action amount of the aforementioned part of the action means. Moreover, in this aspect, the said plural number display part may be provided corresponding to each determination part.

Two or more action means may be involved in changing the position of the amusement body in various forms. For example, two or more action means are carried out by transporting the amusement body, and it is also possible to participate in the change of the position of the amusement body. In this way, the amusement body is supported, and the position of the participating amusement body can also be changed. For example, gravity may be used as such another element. That is, for example, two or more action means may be supported from below so as to prevent the falling of the amusement body, and may participate in the change of the position of the amusement body. Specifically, for example, in one aspect of the game system of the present invention, the plurality of action means are located below the accommodating portion, and the opening serving as the accommodating portion for discharging the game object to the outside of the housing is located below the accommodating portion, In addition, there is a discharge port (5) serving as the function of the predetermined position, and an opening (7) opened on the bottom surface of the receiving portion so as to connect the discharge port. The action means may be arranged in such a way that the game body is supported from below and the bottom surface of the receiving portion is formed.

In the case where a conveying means by conveying an amusement object is used as the operation means, such conveying means may be appropriately configured. For example, such a conveyance means may be comprised so that a part of an amusement body may be displaced in a predetermined direction by utilizing the pressure of a water flow or an air current. Alternatively, each operation means may be configured so that a part of the amusement body is displaced 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 arrangement surface through a device that is similarly affected, each action means uses the magnetic force to make a part of the amusement body move. It is also possible to configure in a way of displacement in a predetermined direction. Moreover, as such an operation means, the belt conveyor which conveys an amusement object by displacing a conveyance surface in a predetermined direction may be used. Furthermore, such a belt conveyor, a rod-shaped member, etc. may be comprised so that a part of an amusement body may be displaced in a predetermined direction by magnetic force.

Specifically, for example, in a state of the game system of the present invention, as the plurality of operation means, a part of the conveying surface (DA) supporting a part of the amusement body is used to move the part of the conveying surface (DA) supporting a part of the game body in a predetermined direction. Plural belt conveyors (BC); The plural belt conveyors may be arranged such that the opening is located at the front end of the predetermined direction. At this time, the amusement system is conveyed in the predetermined direction by the belt conveyor. Therefore, as long as the belt conveyor does not move in the reverse direction opposite to the predetermined direction, for example, even if the amusement object cannot be conveyed to the predetermined position by one-time conveyance, it is not necessary to retreat from the position and continue to execute the movement in one of the predetermined directions. transport. As a result, for example, when the operation direction of the belt conveyor is limited to a predetermined direction, for example, even if the amusement object cannot be conveyed to the predetermined position by one-time conveyance, the favorable situation accompanying the conveyance can be maintained until the next conveyance. . Thereby, the user's expectation of obtaining a gift can be almost directly related to the number of games played, so that the game can be promoted.

The action means of a part of the action object may be one or plural. In addition, in the case where there are a plurality of movement means for a part of the movement object, these movement means may be operated at appropriate timings. For example, these action periods (including the action start period and the action period) may be the same or not. Similarly, in the case where a part of the action means is plural, these action means may be determined by one chance, or may be determined by dividing into a plurality of chances. For example, in one aspect of the game system of the present invention, the aforementioned part of the action means is the aforementioned part of the action means, and when two or more action means are specified, each action means may be actuated in sequence. Alternatively, in one aspect of the game system of the present invention, the part of the action means is used as the part of the action means, and when two or more action means are specified, all of the part of the action means may be actuated at the same time. The influence of these plural action means on the conveyance of the amusement object tends to be larger in a situation in which the plural action means act at one time than in a situation in which each action means operates individually in sequence. Therefore, by adjusting the action timings of the plural action means, the difficulty of the bonus acquisition game can be adjusted. Specifically, in a situation where two or more of the action means act simultaneously as a part of the action means, compared to the situation in which two or more of the action means are actuated sequentially as a part of the action means, the difficulty of obtaining the gift can be reduced. . Thereby, the user's expectation for obtaining a gift can be raised.

Moreover, you may use various articles|goods as an amusement body. For example, the amusement body may be an item other than a gift, or may be the same item. That is, as an amusement body, you may use the gift itself. Then, such a gift itself may be given to the user upon reaching the predetermined position. Specifically, in one aspect of the game system of the present invention, the bonus may be used as the game body.

(reference example) In the game of the above-mentioned patent document 1, since the conveyor belt is prepared for each bonus, the size of the bonus depends on the size of the conveyor belt. Therefore, for example, when an item larger than a conveyor belt is used as a gift, there is a possibility that the conveyance of the gift will be disturbed. In order to eliminate the possibility of such an obstacle (inappropriateness), it is highly likely that measures such as preparing a conveyor belt according to the size and shape of the gift, or restricting the gift to items that can be placed on the conveyor belt are high. . At least, there is a possibility that there is a limit to the form of a gift with only one conveyor belt that is fixed.

Similarly, in the game devices of Patent Documents 2 and 3, the bonus itself is still used as the game 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 operation of the bonus support part. , the prize falls from the opening to the prize outlet, and the dropped prize is given to the player from the prize outlet. In the case of such a mechanism, the size of the opening needs to be designed in such a way as to correlate with the size of the gift. Specifically, if the opening is made too large compared to the gift, there is a possibility that the support of the gift by the gift support section cannot be properly performed, or the relationship between the action of the gift support section and the drop of the gift may be unexpected. Since this kind of opening is used, the game device does not have a structure for conveying bonuses as in the game device of Patent Document 1, but there is a high possibility that the shape of the bonus still depends on the size of the opening and the bonus support portion. As a result, although it is necessary to prepare an opening (in other words, a game device) according to the form of the bonus, or to limit the bonus to items that can be placed in the opening, there is still a possibility that the form of the bonus may be limited.

In addition, the game devices of Patent Documents 1 to 3 belong to the type of prize-obtaining games aimed at obtaining prizes through actions of action means. Among them, the game device of Patent Document 1 conforms to the game device of the type that conveys prizes by using action means to obtain prizes. Giveaway type of game. In a bonus acquisition game of this type of conveyance, the conveyance process of the bonus by such an action means and the skill or ability to operate the action means are often functions as part of the fun of the game.

However, in the game device of Patent Document 1, one bonus is placed on one conveyor belt, and the bonus is always conveyed with the operation of the conveyor belt, so the possibility of an accidental development during the conveyance is low. Specifically, for example, when the gift is captured by an action method, the gift is released from the captured state during the conveyance and cannot be transported to the predetermined position for giving the gift. With this release, the position of the gift The relationship develops into a situation that is easy to capture or difficult to capture due to changes in the placement angle, or when there are multiple gifts, it becomes easy to capture or difficult to capture due to the positional relationship with the gifts, or, conversely, other Giving of premiums becomes easy, and it actually causes the possibility of unexpected development of other premiums. In many cases, the user is stimulated by such a possibility to contribute to a part of the fun. However, in the case of Patent Document 1, the possibility of such a situation developing is low. In addition, the movement of the conveyor belt is automatically controlled according to the result of the draw. Therefore, although the player can participate in the determination of the conveying amount through the slot, it is not actually an operation to move the conveyor belt. As a result, there is little room for the player's skill or ability to be reflected in the operation of such a conveyor belt.

On the other hand, in the game devices of Patent Documents 2 and 3, the bonus support part of the action object in the multiple bonus support parts is determined by the operation of the player, so it may be said that it is a type of operation means according to the user's skill or the like. Giveaways get games. Therefore, there may be room for reflecting the player's skill or the like in the process of determining the bonus support part of the action target. However, the gift support part only operates to change from the support state to the unsupported state, and the movement of the gift to the gift outlet mainly depends on gravity, so it is not a gift-obtaining game of the type that conveys the gift by means of motion. As a result, the conveying process by the action means does not occur, and of course the interestingness accompanying the conveying process does not occur. Therefore, there is room to enhance the fun of the giveaway acquisition game.

Therefore, the aspect exemplified below aims to provide a game system that can increase the degree of freedom of an item that can be used as an amusement body.

The game system of the present reference example provides an operation means including an arrangement surface (DGA) on which an arrangement game body (30) is placed and a conveyance operation for conveying the game body on the arrangement surface to a predetermined position (5). The conveying action of the frame body (2) of (3) is an action control means (21) that controls the user's play action when the user's play action is input through the input device (4), through the aforementioned action means, the aforementioned game A game system (1) in which a bonus (30) is given to the user to obtain a game when the body is transported to the predetermined position, wherein, in the frame, the game body is located in an area spanning two or more ( DA), a plurality of regions that distinguish the arrangement surface are formed on the arrangement surface, and a part of the amusement body located in each region is moved to the predetermined position corresponding to each region. The action means (BC) is provided as the aforementioned action means; the aforementioned action control means is provided with: a part of specifying means (24), which executes a part of a part for specifying the aforementioned plural action means as the play behavior of the aforementioned user In the case of a specific action, due to the part of the specific action, the action means of a specific part; and a part of the action means (24), the action means of the part of the aforesaid plural action means make the part of the aforesaid amusement body corresponding to the action means of the part, The part of the operation means is operated in such a manner as to be displaced toward the predetermined position.

According to this reference example, the arrangement surface is divided into a plurality of areas so that the game body is located at a position spanning two or more areas, and a part of the game body located in each area is displaced according to the operation means of each area. In other words, since the plurality of operation means each share the conveyance of a part of the amusement body located in each area, the arrangement of the amusement body over two or more areas is permitted. This makes it possible to not only depend on one area corresponding to one operation means, but also share plural areas and plural operation means respectively for the arrangement and conveyance of the amusement body. Therefore, even an article that cannot be arranged and transported by only one area corresponding to the transportable range of one operation means can be arranged and transported through a plurality of areas and a plurality of movement means. As a result, by this sharing, compared to the situation in which only one area corresponding to the transportable range of one operation means is formed on the arrangement surface, articles having more various forms can be arranged on the arrangement surface as an amusement body. , which can increase the degree of freedom of items that can be used as amusement objects. Moreover, the conveyance process of conveying an amusement object can be provided, and the room for reflecting the skill etc. of an operation|movement means to the conveyance can also be provided. With such content, the fun of the game can also be enhanced.

Each action means may be used to displace a part of the amusement body in a predetermined direction by various means. For example, each operation means may be configured so that a part of the amusement body is displaced in a predetermined direction by utilizing the pressure of a water flow or an air current. Alternatively, each operation means may be configured so that a part of the amusement body is displaced 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 arrangement surface through a device that is similarly affected, each action means uses the magnetic force to make a part of the amusement body move. It is also possible to configure in a way of displacement in a predetermined direction. Moreover, as such an operation means, the belt conveyor which conveys an amusement object by displacing a conveyance surface in a predetermined direction may be used. Furthermore, such a belt conveyor, a rod-shaped member, etc. may be comprised so that a part of an amusement body may be displaced in a predetermined direction by magnetic force.

Specifically, for example, in a state of the game system of this reference example, a plurality of belt conveyors (BC) that operate respectively so as to displace a part of the game body in a predetermined direction are installed in the frame body. As the plurality of operation means, the plurality of belt conveyors may be arranged such that the predetermined position is located at the front end of the predetermined direction. At this time, the amusement system is conveyed in the predetermined direction by the belt conveyor. Therefore, as long as the belt conveyor does not move in the reverse direction opposite to the predetermined direction, for example, even if the amusement object cannot be conveyed to the predetermined position by one-time conveyance, it is not necessary to retreat from the position and continue to execute the movement in one of the predetermined directions. transport. As a result, for example, when the operation direction of the belt conveyor is limited to a predetermined direction, for example, even if the amusement object cannot be conveyed to the predetermined position by one-time conveyance, the favorable situation accompanying the conveyance can be maintained until the next conveyance. . Thereby, the user's expectation of obtaining a gift can be almost directly related to the number of games played, so that the game can be promoted.

Moreover, in the situation where a belt conveyor is used as an operation means, a belt conveyor may be arrange|positioned suitably so that various directions may have a function as a predetermined direction. For example, a belt conveyor may be inclined and arranged to a predetermined position diagonally upward so that a part of the amusement object is conveyed diagonally upward in a predetermined direction. Or, for example, a magnetic body is attached to the belt part of a belt conveyor, and when the amusement body is metal, as long as the amusement body can be transported, a part of the amusement body can be transported in a vertical direction (or a direction close to it) as a predetermined direction, The belt conveyor may be arranged to face directly upwards at a predetermined position facing upwards. Likewise, the predetermined position may be set at 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 object is indirectly conveyed to a predetermined position by a belt conveyor, a conveying mechanism that automatically realizes conveying to the predetermined position may be provided at the front end of the belt conveyor so as to have a function equivalent to conveying to the predetermined position. . For example, the belt conveyor may be arranged so that the opening connected to the lower discharge port through the connecting passage is located at the front end of the predetermined direction, and the opening, the connecting passage, and the discharge port may function as a conveying mechanism using gravity. Specifically, for example, in a state of the present reference example in which a belt conveyor is used as an operation means, the plurality of belt conveyors are accommodated in the inside of the frame so that the arrangement surface has a function as a bottom surface. The accommodating portion (6) of the amusement body, and the opening serving as an opening for discharging the amusement body of the accommodating portion to the outside of the frame body, are located below the accommodating portion, and have a discharge port (5) that functions as the predetermined position. , and an opening (7) that opens on the bottom surface of the receiving portion so as to connect the discharge port, when formed in the frame body, so as to face the opening as the predetermined direction, so as to displace a part of the amusement body, respectively, You may arrange|position above the said discharge port.

A plurality of action means and a plurality of regions may be provided in such a manner that two or more regions correspond to one action means, and conversely, two or more action means may be provided in such a manner that one region corresponds to each other. In addition, the correspondence relation may be the same as the same or not. That is, for example, one area corresponding to two operation means and one area corresponding to one operation means may coexist, and the correspondence between plural operation means and plural areas may be set. Alternatively, a plurality of action means and a plurality of regions may be provided so that one action means corresponds to one region. Specifically, for example, in the case of this reference example in which the belt conveyors are arranged as the operation means above the discharge port, the above-mentioned plural belt conveyors are such that the conveying surfaces of the belt conveyors correspond to the respective regions. Arrangement; each belt conveyor may act in such a way that the portion located above each belt conveyor, which is a part of the above-mentioned amusement body, is conveyed in the above-mentioned predetermined direction.

The amusement body can be properly configured. For example, in the case where a plurality of belt conveyors are used as an operation means, the amusement body may be arranged indirectly on these belt conveyors. For example, in the case where the amusement object is arranged indirectly on the belt conveyor in this way, the belt conveyor may be configured such that the amusement object is put into a tool such as metal, and such a tool is magnetically conveyed. Specifically, for example, a magnet may be provided on the conveying surface of a belt conveyor, and the amusement object may be placed in a device attracted by such a magnet by a magnetic force. That is, the game system may be indirectly arranged on the conveyance surface (arrangement surface) through such a device. Alternatively, an arrangement surface (a material that does not affect the magnetic force) may be separately arranged between the belt conveyors and the equipment. On the other hand, the amusement body can be directly arranged on the belt conveyor. Specifically, for example, in a state of the reference example in which a belt conveyor is arranged as each operation means above the discharge port, in the plurality of belt conveyors, a part of the amusement body is in contact with the conveying surface of each belt conveyor. 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 one or plural. In addition, in the case where there are a plurality of movement means for a part of the movement object, these movement means may be operated at appropriate timings. For example, these action periods (including the action start period and the action period) may be the same or not. Similarly, in the case where a part of the action means is plural, these action means may be determined by one chance, or may be determined by dividing into a plurality of chances. For example, in an aspect 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, each action means may be actuated in sequence. Alternatively, in a state of the game system of the present reference example, the part of the action means is used as the part of the action means, and when two or more action means are specified, all of the aforesaid part of the action means may be actuated at the same time. The influence of these plural action means on the conveyance of the amusement object tends to be larger in a situation in which the plural action means act at one time than in a situation in which each action means operates individually in sequence. Therefore, by adjusting the action timings of the plural action means, the difficulty of the bonus acquisition game can be adjusted. Specifically, in a situation where two or more of the action means act simultaneously as a part of the action means, compared to the situation in which two or more of the action means are actuated sequentially as a part of the action means, the difficulty of obtaining the gift can be reduced. . Thereby, the user's expectation for obtaining a gift can be raised.
