[0057] Further, a curved transparent plate 48 having an arcuate shape is disposed between the hollow protruding wall body 46 of the prize receiving unit 10 and the outer left end of the rectangular parallelepiped satellite unit 3 adjacent to the right side thereof. The top plate 43 of the prize receiving unit 10 and the curved transparent plate 48 constitute a prize receiving space B.

[0058] Furthermore, a short transparent partition plate 49 is provided at the boundary between the satellite unit 3 and the prize receiving unit 10, as shown on the left side of FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, a ceiling plate 50 is stretched over the top of the knitwear 3 and the prize receiving unit 10, and a prize storage body 51 is arranged above it. On the outer periphery of the prize storage body 51, a large number of prize storage sections 52 are formed in the circumferential direction, and on the outer periphery of the prize storage section 52, transparent article retrieval doors 53 are arranged vertically around the upper edge. A large number of prizes (not shown) are stored in each of the prize storage sections 52, and the prizes in the prize storage sections 52 serve as demonstrations, as well as displaying the prizes in the satellite unit 3. When the number of prizes on the placing board 12 runs out, the prizes in the prize storage section 52 can be taken out and the prizes in the prize display space A of the satellite unit 3 can be replenished with the prizes.

[0059] A lamp 54 is arranged above each article takeout door 53, and the lamp 54 illuminates the inside of the play area where the prize acquisition game device 1 is installed.

[0060] In the present prize acquisition game device 1, as shown in FIG. 9, each satellite unit 3 is equipped with a microcomputer 210, and a catcher drive mechanism 211, which drives a prize grasping device 34, which is a catcher. The host computer 200 provided in the central unit 2 controls the first camera driving means 212 that drives the first camera 35, the second camera driving means 213 that drives the second camera 42, etc., and the host computer 200 provided in the central unit 2 functions as a satellite unit. a central device drive mechanism 201 that centrally controls the microcomputer 210 of 3; a motor movement mechanism 202 that rotates the turntable 6 and pivots the monitor 7; a monitor image forming means 203; It controls the camera driving means 204 and the like.

[0061] The host computer 200, etc. of the central unit 2, and the microcomputer 210, etc. of the satellite unit 3 constitute a control device.

[0062] As mentioned above, the prize grasping device 34 is called a catcher, the prize acquisition situation photographing camera 35 is the first camera, the prize exhibition situation photographing camera 42 is the second camera, and the player photographing camera 56 is the third camera. It will be called. [0063] Hereinafter, control regarding the movement of the monitor 7, which is rotated by the central unit 2, and the display of the monitor 7 will be explained using flowcharts shown in FIGS. 10, 11, and 12.

First, FIGS. 10 and 11 are continuous flowcharts showing control in the satellite unit 3 and control of monitor display and monitor movement in the central unit 2. This will be explained below according to the same flowchart.

[0065] Initially, the advertised video is displayed on the monitor 7 of the central unit 2.

[0066] First, each satellite unit 3 judges whether or not a credit has been generated (step A1). If a credit is generated for the first time in a certain satellite unit 3, then in that satellite unit 3, First the game starts (step A2).

[0067] When the game starts on the satellite unit 3, the second camera 42 of the satellite unit 3 starts shooting (step A3), and the monitor 7 displays the live video of the second camera 42 (field of the satellite). ) is displayed (step Bl).

[0068] At the same time, central unit 2 determines whether monitor 7 is positioned with its screen facing the relevant satellite unit 3 (step C1), and if monitor 7 is positioned at another satellite unit 3, step Proceed to C2, and the turntable 6 on which the monitor 7 is mounted rotates and moves until it is located at the satellite unit 3.

[0069] When it is confirmed that the monitor 7 is positioned with its screen facing the satellite unit 3, the second camera 42 of the satellite unit 3 switches to the first camera 35 (Step A4). , the live image of the first camera 35 (the view directly below the catcher 34) is displayed on the monitor 7 (step B2).

[0070] Therefore, the player of the satellite unit 3 can see in front of the monitor 7 on which the situation directly below the catcher 34 of the satellite is displayed on the screen.

[0071] When the operation buttons 37 and 38 are operated while the live image of the first camera 35 (the view directly below the catcher 34) is displayed on the monitor 7 (step A5), the operation continues until the operation is completed. (Step A7), the catcher 34 moves according to the operation (Step A6), and during this time the situation directly below the catcher photographed by the first force camera 35 is displayed on the monitor 7, and the traverse operation button is pressed.

When the operations of 37 and vertical operation button 38 are completed (step A7), recording of live video starts (step A8). [0072] In the recording of this live video, even if there is a switching between the shooting by the first camera 35 and the second camera 42, the video of the switched shooting is continuously recorded.

[0073] Furthermore, if the operation of the operation buttons 37, 38 in another satellite unit 3 ends at the same time, recording is performed in the same satellite unit 3.

[0074] The catcher 34 descends almost simultaneously with the start of this recording (step A9), and when the descent ends,

(Step A10), the shooting is switched from the first camera 35 to the second camera 42 (Step A1 1), and the monitor 7 displays the live image of the second camera 42 (the state of the field of the satellite unit 3). (Step B3). Then, close the arm 34b of the catcher 34 and try to grab the prize (Step A12)

In other words, while the catcher 34 is descending, the situation directly below the catcher 34 (prizes, etc. that were aimed at) photographed by the first camera 35 is displayed on the monitor 7, and when the descent is finished, the prizes, etc. are shown close-up. It is displayed on the monitor 7 (as an enlarged image), and when the prize is grasped, the grasped prize is fixedly displayed in a close-up position, and then the second camera 42 is switched to take a picture.

[0075] Next!, the catcher 34 rises (step A13), and when the rise ends (step A14), it is determined whether the weight of the prize is detected or not (step A15).

[0076] That is, the weight is detected by the weight detecting means to determine whether the catcher 34 is gripping the prize with enough force.

[0077] When the weight of the prize is detected, proceed to step A16, and use another satellite unit 3 to determine whether or not there is a prize in the get presentation mode (prize acquisition presentation mode) (described later). , if there is no included satellite 3, proceed to step A17 and start weight production.

[0078] When the weight effect is started, a weight effect is performed in which a description such as ``I got a prize!'' is displayed superimposed on the live video of the second camera 42 on the monitor 7 (step B4).

[0079] If the weight of the prize is not detected! (step A15), jump over step A17 to step A18 and do not perform the weight effect.

[0080] In addition, if there is another satellite unit 3 that is in the get effect mode (step A16), the process jumps to step A18, does not perform the weight effect, and in this case monitor 7 as described later. Move to satellite unit 3 that has entered the get production mode, and The image from unit 3 will be displayed. However, recording on the satellite unit 3 will continue.

[0081] Proceeding to step A18, the catcher 34 moves above the prize receiving opening 44.

[0082] Then, in the next step A19, it is determined whether the weight of the prize is detected or not, and when the weight of the prize is no longer detected, that is, when the catcher 34 drops the prize. Then, the program jumps to step A20, stops the weight display, stops displaying statements such as "I got a prize!" on monitor 7 (step B5), and proceeds to step A21.

[0083] When the weight of the prize has been detected (step A19), the process directly proceeds to step A21, where it is determined whether the catcher 34 has approached the upper part of the prize receiving opening 44, and the weight of the prize receiving opening 44 has been detected. Return to step A19 until the weight of the prize is approached and continue determining whether the weight of the prize is in the detected state.

[0084] When the catcher 34 approaches the top of the prize receiving slot 44 (step A21), the process goes to step A22, the second camera 42 switches to the first camera 35, and the monitor 7 displays the light of the first camera 35. An image (view directly below catcher 34) is displayed (step B6).

[0085] Then, when the catcher 34 reaches above the prize receiving opening 44 (step A23), the catcher 34 stops above the prize receiving opening 44 (step A24) and opens the arm 34b (step A25).

[0086] Therefore, if the catcher 34 is holding a prize, the prize will fall into the prize receiving opening 44 when the arm 34b opens.

[0087] At this time, the monitor 7 displaying the live image of the first camera 35 shows how the arm 34b opens and the prize falls into the prize receiving slot 44 due to the increased state force of the prize being held. It will be done.

[0088] Therefore, the player can watch the prize being won live, and can clearly confirm that the prize has been obtained, giving him a great sense of satisfaction.

[0089] On the other hand, when you cannot get a prize, you will experience emptiness just by seeing the prize receiving slot 44, and this emptiness will motivate you to try again.

[0090] In the next step A26, it is determined whether the prize sensor in the prize receiving port 44 (the optical sensor that detects the prize that has fallen into the prize receiving port 44) has been turned on (prize has been detected), and whether or not it is turned on. !ヽ, that is, when the prize has not been inserted into the prize receiving slot 44, jump to step A37. , when it is turned on and the prize passes through the prize receiving port 44, proceed to step A27.

[0091] In step A27, wait for a predetermined time (approximately 0.5 to 1 second) to elapse, end the recording started in step A8 (step A28), start the get effect mode (step A29), and start the first camera. 35 stops (step A30), waits for a predetermined time to elapse (step A31), and starts the commemorative photo mode (step A32).

[0092] Here, when the get effect mode of step A29 starts, a get (prize acquisition) effect image is displayed on the monitor 7 instead of the live image of the first camera 35 (step B7).

[0093] The winning effect video is the live video of the first camera 35 and the second camera 42 that have been recorded so far, and even after the prize is acquired, the monitor 7 shows the catcher 34 holding the prize. Then, the recorded video of the catcher 34 grabbing the prize and moving, the prize falling into the prize receiving slot 44, etc. is displayed, and the player can get a sense of satisfaction by watching the process of getting the prize again. can.

[0094] After viewing this recorded video for a predetermined period of time, the camera enters commemorative photography mode, and the monitor 7 displays the video for commemorative photography.

[0095] This commemorative photo mode is a mode for taking a picture of the player with the third camera 56 placed at the center of the upper side of the monitor 7 as a commemoration of winning the prize, and the commemorative photo image displayed on the monitor 7 is This is a video of the player being filmed by the third camera 56, and the video contains an explanation.

[0096] Therefore, in the next step A33, it is determined whether or not the shirt button operation has been performed.

When V, wait for the time limit to elapse in step A34.

[0097] That is, in steps A33 and A34, it is determined whether or not the shirt button operation has been performed within the time limit, and if there is no shirt button operation within the time limit, the process jumps from step A34 to step A37, and the limit is set. If there is a shutter operation within the time, proceed to step A33 and step A35.

[0098] If there is a shirt button operation within the time limit and the process proceeds to step A35, the third camera will take a still image, and monitor 7 will display a still image of the player who has acquired the prize and taken a commemorative photo (step B9).

[0099] Note that this commemorative photo may be printed out and provided to the player. [0100] Then, wait for the predetermined time to pass (step A36), proceed to step A37, and catcher 3

Move 4 to the home position (HP).

[0101] When the catcher 34 reaches the home position (step A38), the process proceeds to step A39, starts the advertising mode, and displays the advertising video on the monitor 7 (step B10).

[0102] In the advertisement mode, in addition to advertising images, recorded images of players acquiring prizes are also displayed on the monitor 7.

[0103] As described above, while the play is in progress, the live images from the first camera 35 and the second camera 42 are displayed while being switched appropriately, and when a prize is obtained, the recorded live image is displayed on the monitor 7. will be displayed again, which will greatly satisfy the players.

[0104] There is only one monitor 7 in the central unit 2, and it rotates to face one of the six surrounding satellite units 3. Its movement control will be explained according to the flowchart in FIG. 12.

[0105] First, when the power is turned on (step Dl), wait for the first credit to be generated in one of the six satellites (step D2), and when the first credit occurs, Proceed to step D3, determine whether Moyuta 7 is located in satellite unit 3 where the credit occurred, and if it is located, proceed directly to step D5, otherwise proceed to step D4 and first Move monitor 7 to satellite unit 3 where credits were generated and proceed to step D5.

[0106] In step D5, it is determined whether or not the power is turned off. If the power is turned off, this control ends, and if the power is not turned off, the process proceeds to step 6.

[0107] In step 6, the above-mentioned get effect mode is detected for the 6 satellite units 3, and when it is not detected, in the next step D7, the above-mentioned weight detection state is detected for the 6 satellite units 3, and it is not detected. When you are back to step D5.

[0108] That is, by repeating steps D5, D6, and D7, out of the six satellite units 3, the satellite unit 3 that entered the get production mode first or the satellite unit ₃ that entered the weight detection state first is found. That's how it is.

[0109] When the get effect mode is detected in step D6, the process jumps to step D8, and the get effect mode is detected in step D6. Move monitor 7 to satellite unit 3 that has entered the mode, stop, and return to step D5.

[0110] Furthermore, if the satellite unit 3 that has entered the get performance mode already has a monitor 7, the monitor 7 remains as it is.

[0111] Furthermore, when a weight detection state is detected in step D7, the process jumps to step D9, moves the monitor 7 to the satellite in that weight detection state, stops, and returns to step D5.

[0112] Note that if the satellite unit 3 in the weight detection state already has the monitor 7, the monitor 7 remains as it is.

[0113] Between the get effect mode and the weight detection state, the get effect mode has a higher priority.A certain satellite unit 3 is in the weight detection state and repeats steps D5, D6, D7, and D9. However, if another satellite unit 3 enters the get performance mode first, the process moves from step D6 to step D8, and the monitor 7 moves in priority to the satellite unit 3 that has entered this get performance mode.

[0114] In this way, when the get effect mode is detected, the satellite unit 3 to which monitor 7 has been moved is in the direct get effect mode, and the monitor 7 has already recorded the live performance recorded by the satellite unit 3. The image is displayed (see step B7 in the flowchart in Figure 11 above).

, then steps B8 and B9 are executed.

[0115] Furthermore, in the satellite unit 3 to which the monitor 7 has been moved due to the detection of the weight detection state, a weight presentation is performed, and the weight presentation of step B4 of the flowchart is displayed on the monitor 7, and the next step is as follows. Step B6 and subsequent steps are executed.

[0116] In this way, in the priority order of the get production mode and the weight detection state, the most exciting way to obtain the prize is to rotate the monitor 7 to the satellite unit 3 of the player who obtains the prize as soon as possible. The game can be displayed on the monitor 7, enlivening the play and greatly entertaining the players.

[0117] Regarding recording, recording is performed not only on the satellite unit 3 directly facing the monitor 7, but also on other satellite units 3 at the same time as the operation of the operation buttons 37 and 38 is completed.

[0118] When there are six satellite units 3 and the number of recording means is small, for example, there are only four, the first four satellite units 3 are configured to record. [0119] In this embodiment, the prize acquisition game device 1 performs the operations described above, but in addition to this, the following effects are produced.

[0120] That is, since the turntable 6 rotates, not only can the monitor 7 rotate around the entire circumference, but also the prize placement basket 8 can rotate together with the turntable 6, and the prize placement basket 8 can be rotated up and down. Since it can be raised and lowered, the overall demonstration effect of the prize acquisition game device 1 is increased.

[0121] Six rectangular parallelepiped-shaped satellite units 3 are arranged at equal intervals around the entire circumference of the central unit 2, and there is an adjacent fan-shaped prize receiving unit 10, and this prize receiving unit 10 receives the prize. Since the entrance 44 is provided, the horizontal fixed rail 31 of the overhead crane-type prize acquisition device 30 can be extended to the prize receiving unit 10, and the entire bottom surface of the rectangular parallelepiped satellite unit 3 can be expanded into the prize loading area. .

[0122] Furthermore, since there is only a short partition plate 49 between the prize receiving unit 10 and the satellite unit 3 on the left side, as shown in FIG. Overhead crane-type prize acquisition device in satellite unit 3 30 Vertical movement rail 32 Even if you approach left side vertical movement rail 32 on the right side of satellite unit 3, both longitudinal movement rails 32 The movable rails 32 do not collide with each other, and prizes can be inserted into the prize receiving slot 44 without the risk of mutual interference.

[0123] Next, since the end of the opening/closing door 16 of the satellite unit 3 can enter the adjacent prize receiving unit 10, the opening/closing door 16 is moved to the left to open the prize display space in the satellite unit 3. The prizes can be taken in and out of the right half of A smoothly, and the opening/closing door 16 can be moved to the right to allow prizes to be taken in and taken out of the left half of the prize display space A in satellite unit 3, and the prizes on the left can be taken out and taken out smoothly. It also becomes possible to easily handle the prizes in the prize receiving space B in the receiving unit 10.

[0124] In the above embodiment, the satellite unit 3 and the prize receiving unit 10 were configured separately, but the structure is configured such that the prize receiving unit 10 is integrally connected to the left side of the satellite unit 3.
