An embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. The embodiments described below include various technically preferred limitations. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited to the forms exemplified below.

<Game system>
FIG. 1 is a plan view illustrating the configuration of a game system 1 according to an embodiment. The game system 1 is installed, for example, in an amusement facility. Amusement facilities are, for example, entertainment facilities such as game centers or casinos, or commercial facilities such as shopping centers. The game system 1 provides a lottery game to users (that is, players) within the gaming facility.

A user plays a lottery game by using game media. A game medium is a tangible or intangible value medium used in a lottery game. A tangible game medium is, for example, a token coin (medal), a coin (money), or a ticket. Intangible game media are, for example, electronic medals, credits, or points. The number of intangible game media is stored as electronic data in a recording medium such as an IC card. A user plays a lottery game by using game media, and obtains as a reward the amount of game media according to the progress of the lottery game. The game media used for playing the lottery game and the game media given to the user as rewards may be of the same type or of different types. The use of game media can also be called input or consumption (or betting) of game media, and the giving of game media can also be called payout of game media.

It should be noted that the user may acquire the game media used in the lottery game in exchange for value media of a different type from the game media. For example, in exchange for a predetermined amount of various value media such as token coins, coins (money), or electronic money, the user acquires game media such as credits used in the lottery game. As can be understood from the above description, the game media used in the lottery game, the value media consumed to obtain (for example, purchase) the game media, and the game media given to the user as a reward are , can be allogeneic or heterologous.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, a game system 1 according to the embodiment includes a lottery device 11, a supply device 12, and a plurality of stations 13 (eg, six stations).
A lottery device 11 executes a physical lottery using lottery bodies BL. The lottery results obtained by the lottery device 11 are used for progress of the game at the six stations 13 . In other words, the six stations 13 execute a lottery game using the lottery results of the common lottery device 11 .
A lottery device 11 executes a physical lottery using lottery bodies BL. The lottery device 11 is a structure that is generally circular in plan view from the vertical direction. The lottery body BL is a rollable three-dimensional object such as a sphere or a polyhedron. In the following description, the direction along the circumference of a circle centered on the center line of the lottery device 11 in the vertical direction is referred to as "circumferential direction", and the radial direction of the circle is referred to as "radial direction".

2 is a plan view illustrating the configuration of the lottery device 11, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line aa in FIG. The lottery device 11 includes a lottery unit 20 and a lottery field 30, as illustrated in FIGS. The lottery unit 20 is a disc-shaped structure that is rotatably supported in a horizontal plane. The lottery unit 20 rotates counterclockwise, for example, by being driven by a driving mechanism (not shown) such as a motor. The lottery field 30 is an annular plate-shaped member that surrounds the lottery unit 20 in a plan view, and is fixed to a housing (not shown) of the game system 1 . The surface of the lottery field 30 is an inclined surface that descends from the outer peripheral edge to the inner peripheral edge.

The lottery unit 20 includes a first lottery board 21, a second lottery board 22, and a plurality of partition walls 23. The first lottery board 21 is a circular plate-shaped member, and the second lottery board 22 is an annular plate-shaped member surrounding the first lottery board 21 . The multiple partitions 23 are structures that extend in an arc shape along the outer peripheral edge of the second lottery board 22 . The plurality of partition walls 23 are installed at intervals from each other. Each partition wall 23 protrudes from the surface of the second lottery board 22 . The height of the partition wall 23 with respect to the surface of the second lottery board 22 exceeds half the diameter of the lottery body BL. Therefore, the lottery body BL basically cannot climb over the partition wall portion 23 .

Each of the plurality of partition walls 23 is divided into a plurality of, specifically, for example, six first unit portions U1 along the circumferential direction. That is, a total of 18 first unit portions U1 are arranged in the circumferential direction over the three partitions 23. As shown in FIG. A first lottery hole H1 is formed in a portion facing the lottery field 30 in each first unit portion U1. The first lottery hole H1 is a through hole through which the lottery body BL can pass. A first lottery hole H1 is formed for each first unit portion U1. As understood from the above description, 18 first lottery holes H1 are formed at intervals. The 18 first lottery holes H1 are arranged in the circumferential direction along the inner peripheral edge of the lottery field 30 .
The number of the first unit portions U1 and the number of the first lottery holes H1 are not limited to "18", and may be integers of 2 or more. Further, although not particularly shown, each first lottery hole H1 is provided with a sensor for detecting the entry of the lottery body BL, and the detection result is notified to a processing control unit, which will be described later.

The first lottery wheel 21 is divided into, for example, six second unit portions U2 along the circumferential direction. Each second unit portion U2 is a fan-shaped portion in plan view. A second lottery hole H2 is formed in each of the six second unit portions U2. The second lottery hole H2 is a through hole through which the lottery body BL can pass. As can be understood from the above description, the first lottery wheel 21 has six second lottery holes H2 arranged in the circumferential direction at intervals. On the surface of the first lottery board 21, unevenness (not shown) is formed to irregularly change the direction of the lottery bodies BL. The surface of the second lottery board 22 is an inclined surface that descends from the outer peripheral edge where each partition wall 23 is installed to the inner peripheral edge adjacent to the first lottery board 21 .
In addition, the number of the second unit portions U2 and the number of the second lottery holes H2 are not limited to "6", and may be integers of 2 or more. Further, although not particularly shown, each second lottery hole H2 is provided with a sensor for detecting the entry of the lottery body BL, and the detection result is notified to the processing control unit.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating colors assigned to each of the first unit portion U1 (first lottery hole H1) and the second unit portion U2 (second lottery hole H2).
As shown in FIG. 4, each of the 18 first unit portions U1 is assigned one of six colors from the first color to the sixth color. For example, the first to sixth colors are as follows. That is, the first color is red (R), the second color is yellow (Y), the third color is green (G), the fourth color is pink (P), and the fifth color is It is blue (B) and the sixth color is gray (Gr).

As shown in FIG. 4, each of the 18 first unit parts U1 has a red color (R) as the first color to a gray color (Gr) as the sixth color, which is repeated counterclockwise one by one. assigned. In other words, each color is assigned three first unit portions U1.
The allocation of colors to the first unit portion U1 is variably controlled. Although the details are omitted, the first unit portion U1 includes a translucent surface member that transmits and scatters part of incident light, and an illumination unit that illuminates from the back side of the surface member (for example, vertically below). Consists of The illumination unit is, for example, a light source such as an LED whose emission color can be changed, and the emission color is individually controlled for each first unit portion U1. With such a configuration, the light emitted from the illumination section of the first unit portion U1 is transmitted through the surface member of the first unit portion U1 and reaches the user. Therefore, the user perceives the color assigned to the first unit portion U1 by the light emitted from the lighting section.
The luminescence color of the lighting section in the first unit portion U1 is assigned by, for example, the processing control section. Therefore, when the lottery body BL falls into one of the first lottery holes H1, the processing control section can know the color assigned to the dropped first lottery hole H1.

Each of the five second unit portions U2 out of the six second unit portions U2 is assigned a combination of two arbitrary colors among the five colors from the first color to the fifth color. . Specifically, each of the five second unit portions U2 is divided into an inner portion and an outer portion as indicated by broken lines in FIG. 4, and different colors are assigned to the inner portion and the outer portion.
A special color is assigned to the remaining one second unit portion U2 among the six second unit portions U2. The special color is rainbow color (Rbw), for example, and is clearly distinguished from the other five second unit portions U2.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the colors assigned to the five second unit parts U2 are distinguished by inner part/outer part, the special rainbow color (Rbw) starts from the second unit part U2. , two colors are assigned in the order of B/P, P/Y, G/R, Y/G, and R/B counterclockwise. In other words, each of the first to fifth colors, excluding the sixth color, is assigned to the inner portion of one second unit portion U2 and assigned to the outer portion of one second unit portion U2. be done.

Although the details of the second unit portion U2 are omitted, the second unit portion U2 consists of a translucent surface member that transmits and scatters part of incident light, and an illumination device that illuminates from the back side of the surface member. two sets of parts corresponding to the inner part and the outer part. The illumination unit in the inner part and the illumination part in the outer part are light sources such as LEDs whose emission colors can be individually changed, and the emission colors are individually controlled. In the second unit portion U2 to which two colors are assigned, the color of light emitted by the illumination unit in the inner portion and the color of light emitted by the illumination portion in the outer portion are set independently. In the second unit portion U2 to which the special color is assigned, for example, the color of light emitted by the illumination unit of the inner portion and the color of light emitted by the illumination portion of the outer portion are repeatedly changed in a predetermined order in a time division manner.
With such a configuration, the light emitted from the illumination portions of the five second unit portions U2 is transmitted through the surface member of the first unit portion U1 and reaches the user. Therefore, the user perceives the two colors or the special colors assigned to the second unit portion U2 by the emitted light from the illumination section of the inner portion and the emitted light from the illumination portion of the outer portion.
The luminous color of the lighting section in the second unit portion U2 is assigned by, for example, the processing control section. Therefore, when the lottery body BL falls into one of the second lottery holes H2, the processing control section can know the color assigned to the dropped second lottery hole H2.

As exemplified in FIG. 3 , a lottery surface Q is composed of the surface of the first lottery board 21 , the surface of the second lottery board 22 , and the surface of the lottery field 30 . The lottery surface Q is a board surface on which the lottery body BL rolls. The lottery surface Q is an inclined surface that gently descends from the outer peripheral edge (specifically, the outer peripheral edge of the lottery field 30) to the center (specifically, the center of the second lottery board 22). As illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, the lottery surface Q includes a first area Q1 and a second area Q2. The first area Q1 is an area formed by the surface of the lottery field 30. As shown in FIG. As described above, 18 first lottery holes H1 are arranged along the inner peripheral edge of the lottery field 30 . That is, 18 first lottery holes H1 are formed in the first area Q1. On the other hand, the second area Q2 is an area formed by the surface of the first lottery board 21 and the surface of the second lottery board 22 . Six second lottery holes H2 are formed in the second area Q2. The 18 first lottery holes H1 and the 6 second lottery holes H2 move in the circumferential direction as the lottery unit 20 rotates.
Although the line aa in FIG. 2 does not pass through the center of the second lottery hole H2, FIG. there is

As understood from the above description, the first area Q1 is an annular area surrounding the second area Q2. Eighteen first lottery holes H1 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the first region Q1, and six second lottery holes H2 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the first region Q1. The number "18" of the first lottery holes H1 exceeds the number "6" of the second lottery holes H2.

Each partition 23 is positioned between the first region Q1 and the second region Q2. That is, the movement of the lottery body BL between the first area Q1 and the second area Q2 is blocked by the partition wall portion 23 . On the other hand, the first area Q1 and the second area Q2 are connected to each other by a plurality of (specifically, three) connecting paths 24 . Each connecting path 24 is a passage formed between two partition walls 23 adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction. The width of the connecting path 24 (that is, the interval between the partition walls 23) exceeds the diameter of the lottery body BL. Therefore, the lottery body BL can move from the first area Q1 to the second area Q2 through the connecting path 24. FIG. That is, the lottery body BL can move from the first area Q1 to the second area Q2 as indicated by the path K2 in FIG.

Thus, the lottery device 11 includes the lottery surface Q, the partition wall portion 23, and the connecting path 24. The lottery surface Q includes a first area Q1 in which 16 first lottery holes H1 are formed and a second area Q2 in which 6 second lottery holes H2 are formed.

The supply device 12 in FIG. 1 ejects and supplies the lottery body BL to the lottery device 11 in the clockwise direction, which is the opposite direction to the rotation direction of the lottery unit 20 . The lottery body BL gradually approaches the inner peripheral edge of the lottery field 30 while rolling clockwise, and enters one of the 16 first lottery holes H1 (path K1) or the connecting path 24 (path K2). . The lottery body BL that has passed through the connecting path 24 enters the second area Q2.
The lottery body BL that has entered the second area Q2 rolls on the surfaces of the first lottery board 21 and the second lottery board 22, and finally reaches the six second lottery holes H2 as indicated by the path K3. enter one of the
As described above, the total number "3" of the connecting paths 24 is less than the number "18" of the first lottery holes H1. Therefore, the probability that the lottery body BL supplied to the first area Q1 passes through the connecting path 24 is lower than the probability that the lottery body BL enters the first lottery hole H1. That is, the probability that the lottery body BL supplied to the first area Q1 enters the second lottery hole H2 is lower than the probability that the lottery body BL enters the first lottery hole H1.

As described above, in the lottery device 11, the lottery body BL supplied to the first region Q1 by the supply device 12 enters the first lottery hole H1 while moving in an arc shape in the first region Q1, and the lottery body BL moves in the first region Q1. A state of movement from the first region Q1 to the second region Q2 via the connecting path 24, and a state of the lottery object BL arriving at the second region Q2 moving in an arc and entering the second lottery hole H2, Visible to the user.

The operation in which the lottery body BL supplied by the supply device 12 enters either the 18 first lottery holes H1 or the 6 second lottery holes H2 corresponds to the entered lottery hole H (H1, H2). It is an operation of selecting the color assigned to the unit portion U (U1, U2) by lottery.
Of these, when the lottery body BL enters any one of the 18 first lottery holes H1, the operation of entering any of the 18 first lottery holes H1 is performed in the first lottery hole H1. This is an operation of selecting a single color assigned to the corresponding first unit portion U1 by lottery. Note that if the single color drawn by lottery is the sixth color, gray, it is treated as "OUT" in the lottery game.

The action of the lottery body BL entering one of the six second lottery holes H2 is the action of selecting by lottery two colors or a special color assigned to the second unit portion U2 corresponding to the second lottery hole H2. is. When two colors are drawn, for example, the process corresponding to the color of the inner part is executed first, and then the process corresponding to the color of the outer part is executed. If a special color is selected by lottery, it is treated as a special winning.
In the game system 1, the lottery game proceeds using the lottery result by the lottery device 11 as described above.

Each of the multiple stations 13 shown in FIG. 1 is a unit used by the user to play the lottery game. The progress of the lottery game is individually controlled for each station 13 . A plurality of stations 13 are installed in the circumferential direction so as to surround the lottery device 11 . A lottery game progresses in parallel at a plurality of stations 13 . As illustrated in FIG. 1, each station 13 comprises a reception device 135 , a display device 136 and an operation device 137 .

The accepting device 135 includes an insertion slot into which tangible game media such as token coins are inserted, and a payout slot through which tangible game media are ejected as a reward (not shown). However, for example, a reading circuit for reading an intangible game medium such as electronic medals or credits from a recording medium such as an IC card and a writing circuit for writing the intangible game medium to the recording medium are used as the accepting device 135. good too.

The display device 136 displays various images. For example, a flat display panel such as a liquid crystal display panel or an organic EL display panel is used as the display device 136 . For example, the display device 136 displays an image representing the progress of the game, the ranking, or the reward (for example, the amount of payout).
The operating device 137 accepts user's operations. The operation device 137 is a touch panel that is integrated with the display surface of the display device 136 and detects user contact. However, an operator operated by the user may be used as the operation device 137 .

FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating the configuration of the management device 10. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, the management device 10 is a computer system comprising a control device 31 and a storage device 32 in addition to the lottery device 11 and supply device 12 described above.

The control device 31 is, for example, one or more processors that control each element of the management device 10 . Specifically, for example, one or more types of processors such as CPU (Central Processing Unit), GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), DSP (Digital Signal Processor), FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), or ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) The control device 31 is configured by the following.

By controlling the supply device 12, the control device 31 (processing control unit) can repeatedly supply the lottery bodies BL to the first area Q1. The controller 31 assigns one of the six colors to the 18 first unit parts U1, and assigns two colors to each of the five second unit parts U2 out of the six second unit parts U2. and assigning a special color to the remaining one second unit portion U2.

The storage device 32 is a single or multiple memories that store programs executed by the control device 31 and various data used by the control device 31 . For example, it is composed of a known recording medium such as a semiconductor recording medium and a magnetic recording medium. Note that the storage device 32 may be configured by combining multiple types of recording media.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram illustrating the functional configuration of the control device 31. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, the control device 31 functions as a plurality of elements (processing control section 311, communication section 318) for advancing the lottery game by executing a program stored in the storage device 32. .

FIG. 8 is a block diagram illustrating the configuration of the station 13. As shown in FIG. Since the six stations 13 have the same configuration, an arbitrary one station 13 will be described. As shown in FIG. 8, the station 13 is a computer system comprising a control device 131 and a storage device 132 in addition to the reception device 135, the display device 136 and the operation device 137 described above.

Controller 131 is, for example, a processor or processors that control each element of station 13 . Specifically, like the control device 31, the control device 131 is composed of one or more types of processors such as CPU, GPU, DSP, FPGA, and ASIC. The control device 131 calculates rewards and generates game screens as the game progresses.
The storage device 132 is one or more memories that store programs executed by the control device 131 and various data used by the control device 131 .

FIG. 9 is a block diagram illustrating the functional configuration of the control device 131. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, the control device 131 executes a program stored in the storage device 132, thereby executing a plurality of elements (progress control unit 1311, acquisition unit 1315, calculation unit 1316) for advancing the lottery game. and a communication unit 1318). Note that some functions of the control device 131 may be installed in the management device 10 .

Next, an overview of the lottery game using the lottery result by the lottery device 11 provided in the game system 1 will be described.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a configuration example of groups in a lottery game. The lottery game progresses in each of the six stations 13 using the common lottery result by the lottery device 11 . In this embodiment, up to six users can play the lottery game, but users do not necessarily have to participate in all six stations 13 . At the station 13 in which the user does not participate, the movement rule is set by the control device 31 (processing control section 311) on behalf of the user. The movement rule, which will be described later, is an example of a "game progression condition."

In order to distinguish between the six stations 13, ordinal numbers from 1st to 6th are given before "station", and if they are not distinguished, they are simply written as "station".
From the first station 13 to the sixth station 13, as colors corresponding to each station 13, for example, red (R), yellow (Y), green (G), pink (P), blue (B), Violet (V) is assigned. Note that (R), (Y), (G), (P), and (B) assigned to the station 13 have nothing to do with the color assigned to the first lottery hole H1.

A game field Gf is displayed on the display device 136 of each station 13 . FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of the game field Gf in the lottery game, and FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example in which six characters are arranged in the game field Gf. The six characters in the game field Gf correspond to the six stations 13 on a one-to-one basis.

As shown in FIG. 12, for the six characters, the character corresponding to the first station 13 is indicated as (R) for distinction. Similarly, characters corresponding to the second station 13 to the sixth station 13 are indicated in order as (Y), (G), (P), (B), and (V).

FIG. 12 shows an example of the game field Gf displayed on the display device 136 of the first station 13, and the character (R) corresponding to the first station 13 itself can be seen at a glance. They are displayed larger than the characters (Y), (G), (P), (B), and (V) corresponding to (from the second station 13 to the sixth station 13). Although not shown, in the game field Gf displayed on the display device 136 of the second station 13, the character (Y) corresponding to the second station 13 is the character (R), (G) corresponding to the other stations 13. , (P), (B), and (V) are displayed larger.

For a plurality of characters displayed on the display device 136 of a certain station 13, it is sufficient if the character of the station 13 itself can be distinguished from the characters of other stations 13. Therefore, in addition to a mode in which the character corresponding to the station 13 itself is displayed larger than other characters, a mode in which only the character corresponding to the station 13 itself blinks, or only the character corresponding to the station 13 itself has an arrow or the like. may be attached.

As shown in FIG. 11, in the game field Gf, a plurality of squares are arranged in a matrix along the vertical and horizontal directions. A plurality of squares in the game field Gf include normal squares and dash squares Md1 to Md5. Dash squares Md1 to Md5 are examples of special squares.
In FIGS. 11 and 12, for the convenience of specifying a plurality of cells, numbers "1" to "12" are given in order from top to bottom along the vertical direction, and numbers "1" to "12" are given along the left-right direction from the left. Numbers "1" to "10" are assigned in order from right to left.
The numbers "1" to "12" arranged in the vertical direction and the numbers "1" to "10" arranged in the horizontal direction are given for convenience in order to specify the squares. It is not displayed on the screen showing the game field Gf (see FIG. 15, which will be described later).

The arrangement of squares along the horizontal direction is defined as a row (column), the arrangement of squares along the vertical direction is defined as a row (row), and the position of a certain square is expressed as the i-th row and the j-th column. i is an integer of 1 or more and 12 or less, and j is an integer of 1 or more and 10 or less. For example, in the game field Gf, the top leftmost square is located at the first row and first column, and the bottom rightmost square is located at the 12th row and tenth column.

As described above, characters corresponding to each station 13 are placed on the game field Gf. Each character moves on the game field Gf according to the lottery result (color) by the lottery device 11 .
Red (R), yellow (Y), green (G), pink (P) and blue (B) corresponding to the first lottery hole H1 or the second lottery hole H2 are effective colors that contribute to character movement. .
Specifically, the lottery object BL supplied by the supply device 12 in the lottery device 11 is red (R), yellow (Y), green (G), pink (P), or blue (B) in the first lottery hole H1. , the character is moved according to one color corresponding to the entered first lottery hole H1.

　Gray (Gr) corresponding to the first lottery hole H1 is an invalid color (OUT) that does not contribute to the movement of the character. Specifically, when the lottery body BL enters the gray (Gr) first lottery hole H1, the process of moving the character is not executed. In this embodiment, the lottery game ends when, for example, the number of times the lottery body BL has entered the gray (Gr) first lottery hole H1 reaches "3" after the lottery game started. Therefore, when the lottery body BL enters the gray (Gr) first lottery hole H1, the number of outs is counted up.

When the lottery body BL enters one of the five second lottery holes H2 to which two colors are assigned, first, the character is moved according to one color of the inner part of the two colors, and then, A process of moving the character according to one color of the outer portion is executed.
When the lottery body BL enters the second lottery hole H2 of the special color rainbow (Rbw), special winning is established. Specifically, the rainbow color (Rbw) of the lottery result is such that the amount of movement of the character according to the lottery result is three times more advantageous than when colors other than the rainbow color (Rbw) are drawn. is set to

When a character corresponding to a certain station 13 moves in the game field Gf according to the result of the lottery, the character has obtained the square passed through by the movement. The total number of squares acquired by the character is the score of the character (station 13).
However, when another character passes through a square acquired by a certain character, the square is acquired by the other character. That is, when a plurality of characters pass the same square at different times, the square is acquired by the character who passed the last in time. Therefore, when another character passes through a square acquired by one character, the square is taken by the other character, and the score of the one character decreases.

If a plurality of characters reach (or pass through) the same square as a result of movement according to the lottery result, it is assumed that the square was acquired by the character that left the square later in time, for example. . When a plurality of characters leave the same square according to the same lottery result, it may be decided by a lottery other than the lottery device 11, for example, or a predetermined rule (for example, a rule that the character with the lower score wins) may be used. ) may be determined by

FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining the rule that characters move in the game field Gf according to the lottery result (color).
In this embodiment, the character movement rule is defined by a direction pattern and a color assigned by the processing control unit 311 to each direction of the direction pattern. The directional pattern is selected by the user. However, if the user does not participate, the processing control unit 311 selects a direction pattern.
In this embodiment, there are three types of direction patterns, Type_1, Type_2 and Type_3, as shown in FIG.

Of these, the direction pattern Type_1 is a combination of the four directions of up, down, left, and right, and any one of the up, down, left, and right directions, and designates movement of one square in each direction. Note that the example of FIG. 16 is an example in which the downward direction is combined as one direction. These five directions are assigned by the processing control unit 311 so that the five effective colors do not overlap. One direction combined with the four directions is also arbitrarily selected from the four directions by the processing control unit 311 . The correspondence between the direction and the color assigned to each other in this way is the movement rule of the character.
In FIG. 16, in the direction pattern Type_1, yellow (Y) is upward, red (R) and pink (P) are downward, blue (B) is leftward, and green (G) is rightward. Each is an assigned example. Characters set to such movement rules move upward one square if the color of the lottery result is yellow (Y) in the game field Gf, and move downward if the color of the lottery result is red (R) or pink (P). If it is blue (B), it moves one square to the left, and if it is green (G), it moves to the right.

The direction pattern Type_2 designates movement of one square in three of the four directions of up, down, left, and right, and movement of two squares in the remaining one direction. Note that in the example of FIG. 16, the direction in which movement of two squares is designated is the downward direction. Arbitrary four colors among the five effective colors are assigned to these four directions by the processing control unit 311 so as not to overlap each other. The processing control unit 311 also arbitrarily selects one of the four directions for specifying the movement of two squares.
In FIG. 16, in the direction pattern Type_2, yellow (Y) is 1 square upward, red (R) is 2 squares downward, blue (B) is 1 square leftward, and green (G) is rightward. This is an example of a movement rule assigned to each square. A character set to such a movement rule does not move on the game field Gf when pink (P) is selected among the five effective colors.

The direction pattern Type_3 designates a movement of two squares in two of the four directions of up, down, left, and right, namely upward or downward and leftward or rightward. For example, the example (a) of FIG. 16 is an example of specifying a move of 2 squares upward and to the left, and the example (b) of FIG. 16 is an example of specifying a move of 2 squares downward and to the right. is. Although not shown, there is an example of designating a move of two squares upward and to the right, or an example of designating a move of two squares downward and to the left. Therefore, the direction pattern Type_3 has a total of four modes.
Two directions in the direction pattern Type_3 are assigned by the processing control unit 311 so that arbitrary two colors out of the five effective colors do not overlap. Any one of the four modes may be selected by the processing control unit 311, or may be selected by the user.
The color assigned to each direction of the direction patterns Type_1, Type_2, and Type_3 may also be selected by the user instead of the processing control unit 311 .

When the movement rule is set for the character in this way, the character basically moves based on the color of the lottery result and the movement rule. However, in the movement, when the character reaches or passes through any of the dash squares Md1 to Md5, the character moves in a predetermined direction (hereinafter referred to as "skip direction") by the dash square a predetermined number of squares (hereinafter "skip direction"). number”). The skip direction by dashes Md1 to Md5 is the direction in which ">" is directed, and the number of skips is indicated by the number of ">".

FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining the skip directions and skip numbers of the dashes Md1 to Md5.
When the character moves or passes through the dashed square Md1 according to the lottery result, the dashed square Md1 causes the character to skip in the right direction, which is the skip direction, by adding the skip number "1". Similarly, the dashes Md2 to Md5 cause the character to skip in the right direction, which is the skip direction, by adding the skip numbers "2" to "5" in order.
In FIG. 17, the skip directions of the dashes Md1 to Md5 are arranged rightward for the sake of convenience, but actually, as shown in FIG. and the skip direction.

If the character skips due to the dash squares Md1 to Md5, the number of squares acquired increases accordingly, so the acquisition of the score is advantageous compared to the case where the dash squares Md1 to Md5 do not exist.
In the lottery game, after all the characters have moved according to one lottery result by the lottery device 11, the dash cells Md1 to Md5 are configured to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise by 90 degrees.

Note that there is a case where the square skipped by the character by any of the dash squares Md1 to Md5 is another dash square. In this case, it may be configured to skip according to another dash, but in this embodiment, in order to avoid an endless chain of skips by the dash, the skip by the dash is limited to the first time only. . As long as the dashes Md1 to Md5 are arranged so as not to cause an infinite chain, the second and subsequent dashes may be skipped continuously.
Examples of special squares other than the dash squares Md1 to Md5 will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 11, a plurality of tunnels Tn_U, Tn_D, Tn_L, and Tn_R are provided along the four sides of the outer frame of squares arranged in a matrix on the game field Gf. Specifically, ten tunnels Tn_U are provided corresponding to the ten squares in the first row, and ten tunnels Tn_D are provided corresponding to the ten squares in the twelfth row. Also, 12 tunnels Tn_L are provided corresponding to the 12 cells in the first row, and 12 tunnels Tn_R are provided corresponding to the 12 cells in the 10th row.

FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining the functions of tunnels Tn_U, Tn_D, Tn_L, and Tn_R. Note that the dashes Md1 to Md5 are omitted in FIG. 13 to simplify the explanation.

The tunnels Tn_U and Tn_D located in the same row are virtually connected, allowing characters to pass through. As shown in FIG. 13, for example, when the character (Y) positioned in the first row, second column moves upward by one square according to the lottery result, the destination of the character (Y) is the 12th square. It becomes a cell in the second column of the row. Also, for example, when the character (G) located in the 12th row, 9th column moves downward by one square according to the lottery result, the destination of the character (G) is the 1st row, 9th column. Become.

Tunnels Tn_L and Tn_R located on the same line are virtually connected to each other, and characters can pass through them. For example, when the character (P) positioned in the 3rd row, 1st column moves one square to the left according to the lottery result, the destination of the character (P) is the 3rd row, 10th column. . Also, for example, when the character (B) located in the 9th row, 10th column moves rightward by one square according to the lottery result, the destination of the character (B) is the 9th row, 1st column. Become.
If the tunnels Tn_U, Tn_D, Tn_L, and Tn_R do not exist, the movement of the character is restricted.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of the game field Gf in the middle of the lottery game, showing the squares acquired by each character. The midway stage of the lottery game is a state in which the lottery object BL inserted into the lottery field 30 has entered the first lottery hole H1 or the second lottery hole H2 a plurality of times, and the lottery game is in progress. It means that the number of times the lottery body BL has entered the gray (Gr) first lottery hole H1 is less than "3" since the start of the game.

FIG. 14 shows that, for example, the square in the first row and second column has been acquired by the character (P) corresponding to the fourth station 13 . Note that the character (P) is located in the 5th row, 5th column square.
Also, in FIG. 14, the cell in the 3rd row, 5th column was first acquired by the character (V) corresponding to the sixth station 13, but later by the movement of the character (G) corresponding to the third station 13. shown to have been stolen. Note that the character (V) is located in the 3rd row, 3rd column square, and the character (G) is located in the 8th row, 6th column square.

FIG. 15 is a screen displaying various information including the game field Gf in FIG. As shown in FIG. 15, an area L1 is arranged on the left side of the game field Gf, and areas L2, L3, and L4 are arranged in order from the left below the game field Gf.

In the area L1, the numbers of squares (scores) obtained by the characters corresponding to each of the first station 13 to the sixth station 13 are ranked and displayed in order from the top.
In this display example, the first station is the first station 13, and the number of squares obtained by the character (R) corresponding to the first station 13 is "20". The second place is the fourth station 13, and it is shown that the number of squares acquired by the character (P) corresponding to the fourth station 13 is "17". The third place is the second station 13, and it is shown that the number of squares obtained by the character (Y) corresponding to the second station 13 is "16". The fourth place is the fifth station 13, and it is indicated that the number of squares acquired by the character (B) corresponding to the fifth station 13 is "11". The fifth place is the third station 13, and it is shown that the number of squares acquired by the character (G) corresponding to the third station 13 is "10". The sixth place is the sixth station 13, and it is shown that the number of squares acquired by the character (V) corresponding to the sixth station 13 is "7".

In addition, in the area L1, the direction of movement and the number of movements of the character are displayed in association with the color. For example, the directional pattern of the first ranked character (R) is Type_1, and the movement rules are red (R) upwards, green (G) downwards, yellow (Y) leftwards, Use pink (P) or blue (B) to specify a move of 1 square to the right. The direction pattern of the third ranked character (Y) is (a) of Type_3, where pink (P) designates movement upward and red (R) designates movement two squares to the left. By confirming this area L1, the user can know how all the characters will move according to the lottery result (color).

In the area L2, the total number of squares obtained by each character corresponding to the first station 13 to the sixth station 13 (hereinafter referred to as "total score value") is displayed. This total value is one of the reference values for rewards at each station 13 . The reward is the amount of game media given to each station 13 .

A list of rewards for each station 13 is displayed in area L3. In this embodiment, the reward is determined when the lottery game ends, but values other than the reward at the time of display are also displayed in the area L3.

FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining a method of calculating a reward in a lottery game.
First, a basic reward value (P) is determined for each of a plurality of ranges obtained by dividing the value range of the total score value. In the example of FIG. 18, the basic reward value (P) is “125” if the total score value is less than 79, and “250” if the total score value is 80 or more and less than 89, and the total score value is 90. If the total score is less than 99, it is "500", and if the total score is 100 or more, it is "1250".
The base reward value (P) is proportional to the number of game media used (number of bets) input before the start of the lottery. That is, the basic reward value (P) is the product of the number of game media used and a predetermined value. Therefore, for example, if the number of used game media (number of bets) is doubled, the basic reward value (P) is also doubled.

The reward for the first station 13 is a value obtained by multiplying the basic reward value (P) by a multiplier (Q) corresponding to the ranking. In the example of FIG. 18, the magnification (Q) is "5" for the first place, "2" for the second place, and "1" for the third place and below. The three categories of "first", "second", and "third or lower" are examples of "rank" in the present disclosure. “Rank” is an index according to the ratio of each user's score to the total score.
Note that FIG. 15 is a display example of the display device 136 in the first station 13 . The character (R) corresponding to the first station 13 has a score of "20", which is currently the highest. Therefore, the reward for the first station 13 at the present time is the basic reward value (P) of "250" corresponding to the total score value of "81" and the multiplier (Q) of "5" corresponding to the first place. multiplied by , resulting in "1250".

As shown in FIG. 15, in area L3, at the first station 13, 15 rewards determined by combinations of 5 ranges of total score values and 3 ranges of current rankings are displayed. It is calculated and displayed by the calculation unit 1316 in the 1 station 13 .
Specifically, the five total score values are the current total score value, the values before and after that value, the lowest total score value in the next range, and the lowest total score value in the maximum range. Since the current score total value is "81", the numerical values before and after it are "80" and "82", and the lowest score total value in the next range is "90". The lowest total score value in the maximum range (100 or more) is "100".

A frame L31 in the area L3 encloses five types of rewards corresponding to the current ranking. At present, the rank of the first station 13 is the first, so the frame L31 surrounds the five rewards corresponding to the first rank. If the rank of the first station 13 drops from first to second, the frame L31 is shifted downward by one line.
Box L32 encloses the three rewards corresponding to the current score totals. At present, the total score value is "81", so the frame L32 surrounds the three rewards corresponding to "81". If the total score value increases to "82" by the next lottery, the frame L32 is shifted one column to the right.
At present, the total score value is "81", and the rank of the first station 13 is first, so the reward for the first station 13 is "1250" located at the intersection of the frame L31 and the frame L32. ”.

According to such display of rewards, the user of the first station 13 can receive not only rewards according to the current score total value and ranking, but also rewards when the total score value and/or ranking change, and furthermore, You can know the reward when the total score value reaches the next range, and the reward when the total score value reaches the maximum range. Therefore, the user can obtain an indication of how the reward will change according to the lottery result of the lottery device 11 after the present time.

Note that in the other station 13 as well, the calculation unit 1316 in the other station 13 calculates the reward and a list thereof based on the total score value, the own ranking, and the number of game media used in the station 13. do. As a result, the rewards and their list at the other station 13 are displayed in the area L3 of the display device 136 of the other station 13 as well.
For example, at the second station 13, the score by the character (Y) is "16", which is the third place. Therefore, for example, if the number of game media used at the second station 13 is double the number of game media used at the first station 13, each reward displayed in the area L3 of FIG. The position of remains unchanged at the total score value "81", and the frame L31 shifts down two lines.

Next, the procedure of lottery game processing will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 and 20. FIG. FIG. 19 is a flowchart exemplifying specific procedures of processes executed by the process control unit 311, the progress control unit 1311, the acquisition unit 1315, and the calculation unit 1316 for the lottery game.
First, in the lottery game, before the lottery starts, the process control unit 311 in the management device 10 accepts user participation for a certain period of time (for example, one minute) (step S10). Specifically, the processing control unit 311 transmits permission to accept participation to each station 13 via the communication unit 318 . In each station 13, the progress control unit 1311 that has received the reception permission via the communication unit 1318 causes the display device 136 to display a screen prompting the user to participate.

At the station 13, when the user consumes the game media and operates the operation device 137 to input that he/she wants to participate in the lottery game, the progress control unit 1311 causes the display device 136 to display a screen prompting the selection of the direction pattern of the character. display. When the user operates the operation device 137 to select one of the direction patterns Type_1, Type_2, and Type_3, the information indicating the selected direction pattern is transmitted to the management device 10 via the communication unit 1318 as an example of the progress condition. sent to.
In addition to the information indicating the direction pattern, information to the effect that the user will participate, information on the number of game media used, and the identifier of the station 13 where the user has accepted participation are transmitted from each station 13 to the management device 10. sent.

The processing control unit 311 in the management device 10 determines whether or not a certain period of time has elapsed since the start of acceptance of participation (step S20). If it is determined that the predetermined period of time has not elapsed (if the determination result in step S20 is "No"), the processing control unit 311 returns the processing procedure to step S10 and cycles through step S10.

If it is determined that the predetermined time has passed (if the determination result in step S20 becomes "Yes"), the processing control unit 311 in the management device 10 executes setting processing and the like (step S30). Specifically, the processing control unit 311 assigns a color to each direction of the direction pattern of the character corresponding to the station 13 in which the user participates, thereby setting the movement rule of the character. Further, when Type_1 or Type_2 is selected as the direction pattern, the processing control unit 311 assigns one direction added to the four directions of up, down, left, and right, and the color to be assigned to the one direction by selection by lottery. Set the movement rules for the character.
If there is a station 13 in which the user does not participate among the six stations 13, the processing control unit 311 sets the character movement rule corresponding to the station 13 in which the user does not participate instead of the user. . Specifically, the processing control unit 311 draws a lottery for the direction pattern of the character corresponding to the station 13, and sets the movement rule for the character by drawing lots for the color of the lottery result in each direction determined by the direction pattern. .

In this way, when the movement rules are set for all six characters from the first station 13 to the sixth station 13, the processing control unit 311 associates the movement rules with the identifiers of the characters (stations 13) to each character. Deliver to station 13.
The progress control unit 1311 in each station 13 receives the movement rules set for all six characters via the communication unit 1318 . As a result, each station 13 can know the movement rule of the character corresponding to each station 13 as the progress condition of the other stations 13 .

In the lottery game, if at least one user uses one station 13, a movement rule for six characters is set even if other stations 13 are not used.
Thus, in step S30, the process of setting the progress conditions in each station 13 or the process of distributing the set progress conditions to each station 13 is executed. Further, in step S30, a process of resetting various information to initial values is also executed.

In the following description, it is assumed that at least one user participates in the lottery game at the first station 13 . As for the second station 13 to the sixth station 13, it does not matter whether the user participates or whether the processing control unit 311 sets the movement rule on behalf of the user.
Also, if the user does not participate in all six stations 13 within a certain period of time, the processing control unit 311 shifts to the demo mode, and displays the outline of the lottery game until the user participates in one of the stations 13. Run the described demonstration.

In the management device 10, when the processing control unit 311 transmits the movement rules for all six characters to each station 13, lottery processing is executed (step S40). In the lottery process, the management device 10 executes the lottery by the lottery device 11 and transmits the lottery result to each station 13, and each station 13 moves six characters according to the lottery result. This process is repeated until is satisfied. This lottery processing includes display processing such as the display of the score associated with the character movement and the display of rewards at each station 13 .

When the lottery process in step S40 ends, the process control unit 311 causes the station 13 of the user who participated in the lottery game to execute a confirmation process for confirming the reward according to the result of the lottery game (step S50). Note that this confirmation processing includes a process of paying out game media corresponding to the confirmed reward or adding the game media to the credit according to the user's operation.

Note that when the lottery process ends, the process control unit 311 may output a performance effect such as fanfare with sound or illumination with light according to the result of the game. You may shift to the game, or you may return to step S10 and start accepting the lottery game again.

FIG. 20 is a flow chart showing an example of lottery processing in FIG. When the processing procedure reaches step S40 in FIG. 19, the processing control unit 311 in the management device 10 and the acquisition unit 1315 and calculation unit 1316 in each station 13 execute the lottery processing shown in FIG.
First, the processing control unit 311 instructs the supply device 12 to supply one lottery object BL to the lottery field 30 (step S401).

The lottery bodies BL supplied to the lottery field 30 as described above enter either the 18 first lottery holes H1 or the 6 second lottery holes H2.
"OUT" is when the lottery body BL enters any of the three first lottery holes H1 to which gray (Gr) is assigned among the 18 first lottery holes H1. On the other hand, when the lottery body BL enters one of the remaining 18 first lottery holes H1, the character moves according to the movement rule. When the lottery body BL enters one of the five second lottery holes H2 of two colors out of the six second lottery holes H2, the character moves in order according to the movement rule for the two colors. On the other hand, when the lottery body BL enters one second lottery hole H2 to which the special color of rainbow (Rbw) is assigned, the lottery will be specially won. The processing control unit 311 executes the processing corresponding to the color of the lottery hole H into which the lottery body BL has entered in steps S402 to S416 and S418 below.

The processing control unit 311 first determines whether or not the lottery body BL has entered any one of the 18 first lottery holes H1 (step S402).
When it is determined that the lottery body BL has entered the first lottery hole H1 (when the determination result in step S402 is "Yes"), the process control unit 311 further causes the entered first lottery hole H1 to be gray ( Gr) is the first lottery hole H1 (step S403).
When it is determined that the lottery body BL has entered the gray (Gr) first lottery hole H1 (when the determination result in step S403 is "Yes"), the processing control unit 311 counts up the number of OUTs (step S404).
Note that the number of OUTs is reset to zero by the setting process in step S30, for example, before the start of the lottery. Therefore, the current number of OUTs indicates the cumulative number of times the lottery body BL has entered the gray (Gr) first lottery hole H1 since the start of the lottery process. Further, in step S404, the processing control unit 311 may output a presentation effect indicating that the lottery body BL has entered the lottery body BL.

Next, the processing control unit 311 determines whether or not the number of times Bsp is "0" (step S405). The number of times Bsp is reset to zero by, for example, the setting process in step S30 before the start of the lottery. is added by "3", and thereafter is subtracted by "1" every time the lottery body BL is supplied.
Therefore, the number of times Bsp indicates the number of times the lottery body BL is inserted after special winning is established. That is, if the number of times Bsp is "0", it means that the special winning has not been established (hereinafter referred to as "non-special winning state"). Indicates that it is in the elected state.

Note that step S405 assumes that the lottery body BL enters the gray (Gr) first lottery hole H1 and becomes "OUT". Therefore, if the number of times Bsp is a value other than "0" (if the determination result in step S402 is "No"), the processing control unit 311 reduces the number of times Bsp of the special winning state by "1". Only (step S406), the process for moving the character in each station 13 (step S417 described later) is skipped, and the process proceeds to step S418 for judging the end condition.
If the number of times Bsp is "0" (if the determination result of step S402 is "Yes"), that is, if it is a non-special winning state, the processing control unit 311 skips the processing of step S417. , the process proceeds to step S418.

If the determination result in step S403 is "No", it means that the lottery body BL has entered any of the first lottery holes H1 of effective colors other than gray (Gr). In this case, the processing control unit 311 determines whether or not the number of times Bsp is "0" (step S407). That is, it is determined whether or not the current state is the non-special winning state. If the number of times Bsp is "0" (if the determination result in step S407 is "Yes"), it is in a non-special winning state. Therefore, the processing control unit 311 transmits information indicating that the current state is the non-special winning state and information about the color of the entered first lottery hole H1 to each station 13 (step S408).
Thereafter, the processing procedure moves to step S417. However, since step S417 is a process executed by each station 13, the processing procedure of the process control unit 311 in the management device 10 proceeds to step S418.

If the number of times Bsp is not "0" (if the determination result in step S407 is "No"), the special winning state is established. , the color information of the entered first lottery hole H1 is transmitted to each station 13 (step S409).
Thereafter, the processing control unit 311 decrements the number of times Bsp by "1" (step S410), and shifts the processing procedure to step S417. As a processing procedure of the processing control unit 311, the process proceeds to step S418.

It should be noted that in step S408 or S409, the processing control unit 311 may execute an effect operation of reading out the color of the first lottery hole H1 into which the lottery body BL has entered by voice synthesis. For example, when the lottery object BL enters the first lottery hole H1 of yellow (Y), the processing control unit 311 executes an effect operation such as outputting "yellow" by voice.

A case where the determination result of step S402 is “No” means a case where the lottery body BL has entered one of the second lottery holes H2 via the connecting path 24 . In this case, the processing control unit 311 determines whether or not the lottery object BL has entered one of the six second lottery holes H2 to which the special rainbow color (Rbw) has been assigned. (step S411).
If the lottery object BL has not entered one second lottery hole H2 to which the special rainbow color (Rbw) has been assigned (if the determination result in step S411 is "No"), the process control unit 311 determines whether or not the number of times Bsp is "0", that is, whether or not the player is in a non-special winning state (step S412). If the number of times Bsp is "0" (if the determination result in step S412 is "Yes"), it means that the player has entered either of the second lottery holes H2 of two colors in the non-special winning state.
Therefore, the processing control unit 311 transmits to each station 13 the information indicating that the current state is the non-special winning state and the two-color information of the entered second lottery hole H2 (step S413). The two-color information of the second lottery hole H2 is transmitted separately for the inner part and the outer part. After that, the processing procedure proceeds to step S417, but the processing procedure of the processing control unit 311 proceeds to step S418.

If the lottery body BL has not entered one second lottery hole H2 to which the special rainbow color (Rbw) has been assigned, and the number of times Bsp is not "0" (the determination result of step S412 is If "No"), it is a case of entering either of the second lottery holes H2 of two colors in the special winning state. Therefore, the processing control unit 311 transmits to each station 13 the information indicating that the player is currently in the special winning state and the two-color information of the entered second lottery hole H2 (step S414). The two-color information of the second lottery hole H2 is transmitted separately for the inner part and the outer part. Thereafter, the processing control unit 311 decrements the number of times Bsp by "1" (step S415), and the processing procedure proceeds to step S417, but the processing procedure of the processing control unit 311 proceeds to step S418.

It should be noted that in step S413 or S414, the processing control unit 311 may execute an effect operation of sequentially reading out the color of the second lottery hole H2 into which the lottery body BL has entered by voice synthesis. For example, when the lottery body BL enters the second lottery hole H2 of Y/G, the processing control unit 311 executes an effect operation such as outputting "yellow" and "green" by voice.

When the lottery body BL passes through the connecting path 24 and enters one second lottery hole H2 to which the special rainbow color (Rbw) is assigned (when the determination result in step S411 is "Yes") ), the process control unit 311 adds "3" to the number of times Bsp (step S416). If it is in a non-special winning state, it shifts to a special winning state by this addition, and if it is already in a special winning state, this addition increases the number of continuations of the special winning state.
Alternatively, a performance action indicating entry into the second lottery hole H2 to which the special rainbow color (Rbw) is assigned may be executed, and the performance action may be continued until the number of times Bsp becomes "0". .

In steps S408, S409, S413 or S414, when the information indicating the current winning state and the two-color information of the entered first lottery hole H1 or second lottery hole H2 are transmitted, these information are received. In each station 13, the progress control unit 1311, acquisition unit 1315, and calculation unit 1316 execute the following processing (step S417).
Specifically, in each station 13, the progress control unit 1311 applies the movement rules set for all six characters according to the color that is the lottery result, and while considering the winning state, the game field Generate movement information in Gf for each character.
In the non-special winning state, the progression control unit 1311 moves the character in the direction defined by the movement rule by the number of squares defined by the movement rule. Also, in the special winning state, the progress control unit 1311 moves the character in the direction defined by the movement rule by twice the number of squares defined by the movement rule. Therefore, in the special winning state, it may be considered that the number of moving squares in the movement rule is changed to double that in the non-special winning state. The progress control unit 1311 considers the dashes Dm1 to Dm5 and the tunnels Tn_U, Tn_D, Tn_L, and Tn_R when moving the character. As can be understood from the above description, when a predetermined condition (election condition) is satisfied regarding the result of the lottery by the lottery device 11, the movement rule is changed compared to when the election condition is not satisfied. That is, the movement rule differs between the special winning state in which the winning condition is met and the non-special winning state in which the winning condition is not met. The winning condition in this embodiment is that the lottery body BL enters the rainbow-colored (Rbw) second lottery hole H2.

The movement information for each character generated by the progress control unit 1311 is information necessary for displaying the screen shown in FIG. Specifically, the movement information includes information such as which squares the character has acquired (which squares have been stolen by another character), the number of acquired squares (score), the ranking of the characters, and the like. including information to indicate
Of the movement information generated for each character, the movement rule of the character (R) corresponding to the first station 13 is applied according to the color that is the result of the lottery, and the result is the movement of the character (R). The information is an example of first information. An example of the second information is score information obtained by the movement of the character (Y) as a result of applying the movement rule of the character (Y) corresponding to the second station 13 according to the color that is the result of the lottery. be.
In the lottery game, the reward for the first station 13 is calculated by the calculator 1316 in detail according to the total score value, ranking, and the number of used game media. Of these, the total score value is the sum of the scores of the first station 13 to the score of the sixth station 13 , so it includes at least the score of the first station 13 and the score of the second station 13 .

At each station 13, the calculation unit 1316 calculates the reward for that station 13 based on the transferred information, the total score value, the rank of the station 13, and the number of game media used (see FIG. 18). calculated as described in The calculation unit 1316 also calculates the total score value and/or the reward when the ranking changes.
In each station 13, the display device 136 displays the screen of the game field Gf as shown in FIG. Also, on the display device 136, the scores of each character are ranked and displayed in the region L1 in order from the top, and the total score value is displayed in the region L2. A list of rewards calculated by the calculation unit 1316, more specifically, a list of current rewards in the station 13 and rewards when the total score value and/or ranking changes are displayed in the area L3.

After step S405, S406 or S417, the processing control unit 311 of the management device 10 determines whether or not the termination condition is satisfied (step S418). In the present embodiment, the end condition is that the cumulative number of times of entering the first lottery hole H1 of "OUT" from the start of the lottery becomes "3". Since the total number of times is indicated by the number of OUTs, the process control unit 311 specifically determines whether the number of OUTs is "3".
If the number of OUTs is less than "3" (if the determination result of step S418 is "No"), the processing control unit 311 returns the processing procedure to step S401 and supplies the lottery body BL to the lottery field 30. to repeat the lottery.
If the number of OUTs is "3" (if the determination result in step S418 is "Yes"), the processing control section 311 terminates the lottery by the lottery game. Specifically, the processing control unit 311 shifts the processing procedure to step S50 (FIG. 19) in order to determine the reward, pay out the game media, and the like.

In the game system 1 according to the present embodiment, the character (R) corresponding to the first station 13 is moved to the game field Gf according to the color of the lottery result by the lottery device 11 and the movement rule set for the first station 13 . to move. The character (Y) corresponding to the second station 13 also moves on the game field Gf according to the color of the lottery result by the lottery device 11 and the movement rule set for the second station 13 . Characters (G), (P), (B), and (V) corresponding to other stations 13 also move in the game field Gf in the same manner. The score of each station 13 is the number of squares acquired as the corresponding character moves, but the reward for the first station 13 is calculated based on the total score of all characters. Therefore, according to the game system 1 , it is possible to direct the interest of the user playing at the first station 13 to the user playing at another station 13 .

In the game system 1, the reward for the first station 13 is calculated according to the total score value of all characters and the score ranking of the first station 13. Therefore, according to the game system 1 , the user playing at the first station 13 can be made aware of the competition with the users playing at the other stations 13 .

Further, in the game system 1, when the lottery body BL enters the rainbow-colored (Rbw) second lottery hole H2, in the subsequent three lotteries, the number of moving squares of all characters is the first lottery hole "OUT". Doubles, except when entering H1. Therefore, the total score value increases compared to the case where the lottery body BL does not enter the rainbow-colored (Rbw) second lottery hole H2, so that the user's expectations can be increased.

Further, after the start of the lottery, the management device 10 only determines whether or not the end condition is satisfied after transmitting the lottery result by the lottery device 11 to each station 13, and moves the character according to the lottery result. , reward calculation, and their display processing are individually executed in each station 13 . Therefore, in the game system 1 , the processing load on the management device 10 can be kept low compared to a configuration in which the management device 10 collectively executes movement, calculation, and display processing in each station 13 .

<Modification>
The embodiments illustrated above can be variously modified. Specific modification aspects that can be applied to the embodiments are exemplified below. Two or more aspects arbitrarily selected from the following examples may be combined as long as they do not contradict each other.

<First modification>
In the embodiment, the game field Gf is provided with a plurality of tunnels Tn_U, Tn_D, Tn_L, and Tn_R on the four sides of the outer frame of the square arrangement area. may be abolished so that it is impossible to pass through.
If the tunnels Tn_U, Tn_D, Tn_L, and Tn_R are not provided, for example, if a character for which only the upward direction and the left direction are set in the direction pattern of Type_3 is positioned in the first row and first column, the lottery result will be A situation is assumed in which it becomes impossible to move accordingly. For this reason, the user may be allowed to select either the configuration with the tunnel or the configuration without the tunnel during the acceptance period before the start of the lottery. According to the first modification, the user can be made to consider strategy in selecting the direction pattern.

<Second modification>
In the embodiment, the case where the number of stations 13 forming one group matches the number of stations 13 forming game system 1 has been described as an example, but they do not have to match. For example, if the number of stations 13 constituting the game system 1 is greater than the number of stations 13 constituting one group, the groups may be divided into a plurality of groups.
Specifically, if the number of stations 13 is "12", the first station 13 to the sixth station 13 are grouped as the first group, and the seventh station 13 to the twelfth station 13 are grouped as the second group. A lottery game may be independently executed in the group using the lottery result of the common lottery device 11 .
That is, in the first group, the total score value of the first station 13 to the sixth station 13 is calculated, and in the second group, the total score value of the seventh station 13 to the twelfth station 13 is calculated, and each group , the reward is calculated based on the total score of each group.

If the number of stations 13 is "8", for example, as shown in FIG. As a second group, the lottery game may be executed independently using the lottery result of the common lottery device 11 in each group.
In this configuration, the third station 13 to the sixth station 13 belong to both the first group and the second group. In the first group, the total score values of the first station 13 to the sixth station 13 are calculated. In the second group, the total score values of the third station 13 to the eighth station 13 are calculated. , the reward is calculated based on the total score of each group. When a user participates in a station 13 belonging to both groups, the user may select whether to belong to the first group or the second group during the acceptance period before the start of the lottery.

<Third modification>
In the embodiment, six stations 13 provided at the same game facility form a group, but another station 13 at another game facility may be added to the group.
For example, as shown in FIG. 23, five machines from the first station 13 to the fifth station 13 at the amusement facility A and another station 13 at the amusement facility B may constitute one group.

In this configuration, the lottery device 11 in the amusement facility A is used for the progress of the game from the first station 13 to the fifth station 13 in the amusement facility A. FIG. Specifically, each station 13 from the first station 13 to the fifth station 13 has a movement rule set for each character from the first station 13 to the fifth station 13, and the other station 13 at the amusement facility B and the movement rule set for the character are received before the start of the lottery at the game facility A.
In each station 13 from the first station 13 to the fifth station 13, the characters of the first station 13 to the fifth station 13 and the characters of the other station 13 are displayed according to the color of the lottery result at the amusement facility A. Characters are moved within the game field Gf by applying the movement rules of each character.

On the other hand, the lottery device 11 in the game facility B is used for the progress of the game at the separate station 13 in the game facility B. FIG. Specifically, the separate station 13 converts the movement rule set for each character of the first station 13 to the fifth station 13 of the amusement facility A and the movement rule set for the character of the separate station 13 into the relevant character. It is received before the start of the lottery at the game facility B. Then, in the separate station 13, each character of the first station 13 to the fifth station 13 and the character of the separate station 13 are applied with the movement rule of each character according to the color of the lottery result at the game facility B. to move within the game field Gf.
Specifically, at the separate station 13 in the amusement facility B, the progress control unit 1311 (not shown in FIG. 23) controls the information associated with the movement of the character from the first station 13 to the fifth station 13 and the separate station 13 Generates information accompanying the movement of the character in . Various information generated along with the movement of the character corresponding to the different station 13 is an example of different information.

According to such a configuration, in the first station 13 to the fifth station 13 in the amusement facility A, if the moving rules for each character are received before the start of the lottery at the amusement facility A, the lottery at the amusement facility B is performed. can progress the game independently.
Similarly, at the separate station 13 in the amusement facility B, the game can proceed regardless of the lottery at the amusement facility A if the moving rules for each character are received before the start of the lottery at the amusement facility B.

The movement rules set for each character may be stored in a server on the cloud, for example, and the movement rules set for each character may be obtained from the server.

For example, when attempting to execute a lottery game by forming a group of only the stations 13 in which users participate, it is often difficult for users to participate in all six stations 13 . On the other hand, in the configuration shown in FIG. 23, it is possible to participate in different stations 13 of different amusement facilities. easier to implement.

In this way, in the lottery game, it is possible to form one or more groups in various ways.

<Fourth modification>
FIG. 24 is a diagram showing the configuration of a game system according to the fourth modification. The lottery device 11 and the supply device 12 do not need to be installed in the same amusement facility, and as shown in FIG. It may be configured to be

In FIG. 25, a prohibited square Mi is provided at the position of the 4th row, 2nd column, and prohibits the movement (passage) of the character. For example, if the character is positioned at the third row, second column, downward movement is prohibited, and only upward, left, or right movement is permitted. Further, for example, when the character is positioned at the 4th row and 3rd column, leftward movement is prohibited, and only upward, downward or rightward movement is permitted. Another form of prohibited squares is a one-way square that prohibits movement in only one specific direction.
In the game field Gf, the number of prohibited squares is not limited to one, and a plurality of prohibited squares may be provided.

<Sixth modification>
In the embodiment, before the start of the lottery, the management device 10 distributes the movement rule set for each character to each station 13, and after the start of the lottery, the management device 10 transmits information indicating the result of the lottery to each station 13. On the other hand, although each station 13 is configured to individually execute character movement, score calculation, reward calculation, and the like according to the lottery result, the present invention is not limited to such a configuration.
For example, part of the functions of the station 13 may be installed in the management device 10 . Specifically, the management device 10 may move characters according to the lottery results, calculate scores, calculate rewards, and the like for each station 13 , and distribute them to each station 13 .
Also, for example, a part of the management device 10 may be installed in the station 13 . Specifically, a plurality of stations 13 communicate with each other to acquire movement rules set for each character, and any one station 13 controls the lottery device 11 and supply device 12 to obtain the lottery result. A configuration may be adopted in which the information indicated is acquired and the information is distributed to other stations 13 .

<Seventh Modification>
In the embodiment, it was only possible to set the number of game media used and select the direction pattern of the character during the reception period before the start of the lottery. The color or the like may be changeable. When the direction pattern, the color corresponding to the direction, or the like is changed after the lottery starts, information indicating the content of the change is transmitted from the station 13 to the management device 10, and the management device 10 moves the changed character. Send the rules to each station 13 . Therefore, in each station 13, the progress control unit 1311 generates information regarding the movement of the character with the content after the change.
In addition, as for the reward, the reward not after the lottery game ends, but in the middle of the lottery game, specifically, the reward indicated by the intersection of the frames L31 and L32, is paid out to the user or added to the credit. good too.
Even if a certain user pays out a reward to the user in the middle of the lottery game, if the movement of the character corresponding to the user is continued according to the color of the lottery result, other users may If you look at it, it will not affect your score totals and rankings.

<Eighth modification>
In the embodiment, the condition for ending the lottery game is that the cumulative number of times the game has entered the first lottery hole H1 of "OUT" from the start of the lottery is "3", but other conditions are also possible. For example, the number of times the lottery body BL is supplied has reached a predetermined number of times (20 times), or the lottery body BL has entered the first lottery hole H1 of "OUT" a predetermined number of times (for example, three times) in succession. , and so on.

<Ninth Modification>
For example, animals such as rabbits, cats, and birds may be associated in order with the direction patterns Type_1, Type_2, and Type_3, and one of the animals may be set according to the user's selection. That is, the directional pattern may be set indirectly through an animal such as a rabbit according to the user's selection. In this configuration, an animal associated with the directional pattern may be displayed as the character displayed on the game field Gf. It should be noted that the animal selected in this manner is associated with the directional pattern, and therefore serves as an example of the conditions for progressing the game.

<Tenth Modification>
Also, for example, a user name or nickname is associated with each user, and a user who participates at the station 13 of the character is displayed in the vicinity of the character ranked and displayed in the area L1 on the screen of the display device 136. The user name or nickname of the user may be displayed. As in the embodiment, if the user name or the like is displayed in a case where other users other than themselves are interested, they will be conscious of the user name or the like. Be interested in users.
When the user's user name or the like is to be displayed, information indicating the user name or the like is transmitted to the management device 10 via the communication unit 1318 together with the character movement rule or the like in the station 13 of the user (step S10). Thereafter, information indicating each user name and the like together with the character movement rule of each station 13 may be distributed to each station 13 from the management device 10 (step S30).

<Eleventh Modification>
The functions of the game system 1 according to the embodiments described above are realized by cooperation between one or more processors constituting the control device 31 and programs stored in the storage device 32 . The above program can be provided in a form stored in a computer-readable recording medium and installed in the computer. The recording medium is, for example, a non-transitory recording medium, and an optical recording medium (optical disc) such as a CD-ROM is a good example. Also included are recording media in the form of It should be noted that the non-transitory recording medium includes any recording medium other than transitory, propagating signals, and does not exclude volatile recording media. Further, in a configuration in which a distribution device distributes a program via a communication network, a storage device that stores the program in the distribution device corresponds to the above-described non-transitory recording medium.

<Appendix>
From the above description, for example, preferred aspects of the present disclosure are understood as follows. In order to facilitate understanding of each aspect, hereinafter, reference numerals in the drawings are written together in parentheses for convenience, but this is not intended to limit the present disclosure to the illustrated aspects.

<Appendix 1>
A game system (1) according to one aspect (Appendix 1) of the present disclosure includes a plurality of stations (13) including a first station and a second station, the plurality of stations (13) forming a first group. A game system (1) comprising: a lottery unit (11) for generating a lottery result common to the plurality of stations (13); and a first condition set for the lottery result and the first station (13) and second information generated according to the lottery result and the second condition set for the second station (13). 314) and a calculation unit (315) for calculating a reward for said first station according to at least said first information and said second information.

In aspect 1, the reward for the first station (13) is not only the first information generated according to the lottery result and the first condition set for the first station (13), but also the lottery result and other The second information generated according to the second condition set for the second station 13 is also considered and calculated. Therefore, according to aspect 1, it is possible to direct the interest of the user playing at the first station (13) to the user playing at another second station (13).

The "lottery section (11)" is an element that executes a lottery process of randomly selecting one element from among a plurality of elements. The lottery unit is, for example, a physical lottery unit or an electronic lottery unit. A physical lottery is a physical mechanism that performs a physical lottery. A physical lottery mechanism typically provides a lottery wheel having a plurality of holes with a rollable lottery body (BL), and when the lottery body (BL) enters a hole, an identifier for that hole is generated. One example is roulette, in which the lottery result is determined by (color, number, etc.). The physical lottery mechanism is not limited to a roulette, but is a rotatable box containing lottery bodies to which identifiers or the like are assigned. It may be a rotary lottery device in which the lottery result is determined by the provided identifier. It should be noted that the rotary lottery device requires a measure to return the lottery object jumped out of the box to the box again so that the probability of the lottery object being drawn does not change.
Also, the electronic lottery section is a virtual element having functions similar to or similar to those of the physical lottery mechanism, and is realized through cooperation of computer hardware and software. The electronic lottery section is realized by, for example, executing an application having functions equivalent to those of the physical lottery section by a computer.
The lottery section may be provided at a location visible from a plurality of stations, and may be provided at a remote location. The 'common lottery section' means that the lottery results are commonly used in the plurality of stations (13) forming the group. "Using the lottery result" means applying the lottery result.

The "first (second) condition" is a condition or rule that can affect the progress of the game. It refers to the conditions for progress. As in the embodiment, if the game moves the character according to the lottery result, an example of the progress condition is a movement rule that determines how the character is moved according to the color of the lottery result. Since the movement rule assigns the color of the lottery result to the direction pattern that determines the movement direction of the character, the direction pattern is also an example of the progress condition. Also, animals such as rabbits and cats in the ninth modification are examples of progress conditions because they determine the moving direction of the character.
It should be noted that, in mode 1, a game that progresses without character movement is also assumed, so the progress condition is not limited to the movement rule.

The “first (second) information” is information generated according to the lottery result and the first (second) condition, and is information indicating an event that occurred in the game. Specifically, it is information that indicates what kind of result is produced when what kind of rule is used to proceed with the game for a certain lottery result. Typically, the first (second) information is information indicating the game situation at the first (second) station, more specifically the score of the first (second) station. , is not limited to the score, but may be a numerical value that underlies the score, or an event caused by the score. For example, the type of items scattered on the board, the number of wins, the probability (=number of wins/number of lotteries), etc. may be used.
"Depending on at least the first information and the second information" means that other information than the first information and the second information may be included.

<Appendix 2>
In the specific example of Supplementary Note 1 (Supplementary Note 2), the first condition is set according to an instruction from the first user who uses the first station, and the second condition is the second condition which uses the second station. 2 It is set according to instructions from the user. In mode 1, the second condition may be set not only by the user but also by someone other than the user, for example, the progress control unit (1311). is set according to Thus, the first user of the first station (13) will turn his attention to the second user of the second station (13).
Note that "according to (an instruction from the user)" means that the user inputs or operates the first (second) station 13".

<Appendix 3>
In the specific example of Supplementary Note 1 or Supplementary Note 2 (Supplementary Note 3), the first information indicates a first score according to the lottery result and the first condition, and the second information indicates the lottery result and the first score. A second score corresponding to two conditions is shown, and the calculation unit (1316) calculates the reward based on at least the sum of the first score and the second score.

According to mode 3, the reward for the first station (13) is calculated based on the total value including the sum of the score of the first station (13) and the score of the second station (13), The user playing at the first station (13) can be made aware of cooperation with the user playing at the second station (13).
"At least the total value of the first score and the second score" means the total value of a plurality of scores including the first score and the second score. Moreover, "based on the total value" may be the total value itself, or may be a numerical range including the total value among a numerical range divided into a plurality.

<Appendix 4>
In the specific example of Supplementary Note 3 (Supplementary Note 4), the obtaining unit (1315) obtains the result of the lottery and the plurality of stations (13) other than the first station (13) and the second station (13) and a third score corresponding to the third condition set for the third station (13), and the calculation unit (1316) calculates at least the first score, the second score and the third score The reward is calculated based on the total value of . According to aspect 4, the reward for the first station (13) is based on the sum of the score of the first station (13) and the scores of other stations (13) other than the first station Since it is calculated, the attention of the users playing at the first station (13) can be directed to the users playing at all other stations (13).

<Appendix 5>
In the specific example of Supplementary Note 3 or Supplementary Note 4 (Supplementary Note 5), the calculation unit (1316) calculates the first reward according to the total value and the rank based on the ratio of the first score to the total value. Calculate
According to aspect 5, since the reward for the first station (13) is calculated based on the rank as well as the first score at the first station (13), playing at the first station (13) The user can be made aware of the competition with the user playing at the second station (13). Note that "rank" refers to a ranking based on contribution or score.

<Appendix 6>
In the specific example of Appendix 5 (Appendix 6), the calculation unit (1316) calculates the first reward and the second reward when at least one of the total value and the rank changes.
According to aspect 6, the second reward that will be obtained when at least one of the total value and the rank changes is calculated. Note that the fluctuation may be either when the total value or the rank improves or deteriorates.

<Appendix 7>
In the specific example of Appendix 1 (Appendix 7), a plurality of stations forming a second group are further provided, and some of the plurality of stations forming the first group are the plurality of stations forming the second group. Some overlap. According to aspect 7, it is possible to use a lottery result by a lottery unit common to a plurality of groups.

<Appendix 8>
In the specific example of Appendix 1 (Appendix 8), the first group includes a third station different from the plurality of stations, and the acquisition unit (1315) includes a third station different from the first lottery unit (11). 2 Acquire third information generated according to the lottery result of the lottery unit and the third condition set for the third station, and the calculation unit calculates at least the first information, the second information and A reward for the first station is calculated according to the third information. According to aspect 8, for example, a plurality of stations and another station located at a remote location different from the plurality of stations can form the same group.

<Appendix 9>
In the specific example of appendix 3, appendix 4, or appendix 5 (appendix 9), the first character (R) corresponding to the first station (13) is the board surface (Gf) on which a plurality of squares are arranged, and the first character (R) corresponding to the first station (13) is selected as the lottery result. The second character (Y) corresponding to the second station (13) moves according to the movement rule based on the second condition with respect to the lottery result. .
According to aspect 9, the first character (R) moves according to the movement rule based on the first condition set corresponding to the first station (13), and the second character (Y) moves according to the lottery result. It moves according to the movement rule based on the second condition set corresponding to the second station (13). If the first condition and the second condition are different, the movement rule of the first character (R) and the movement rule of the second character (Y) are different even if the lottery results are common. By comparison, it is possible to plan the diversity of movement.
Note that "movement rule based on the first (2) condition" means that the movement rule may be included in the first condition or specified by the first condition. The "movement rule" defines, for example, how many squares are to be moved in a direction determined by a lottery result.

<Appendix 10>
In the specific example of Supplementary Note 9 (Supplementary Note 10), the first score is a value based on a cumulative value of the number of squares moved by the first character (R), and the second score is a value based on the second character (Y ) is a value based on the cumulative number of squares moved. According to aspect 10, the user playing at the first station (13) is given not only his/her own first score at the first station (13), but also other users' second scores at other second stations (13). You can draw attention to the score.
It should be noted that the "value based on the cumulative value of the number of squares" means that when the same square is stepped on by two or more characters, the second priority (overwrite) is given, or the same character can step on the same square twice. It is expressed in consideration of the point that it is not counted twice when stepping on it more than once.

<Appendix 11>
In the specific example of Supplementary Note 9 or Supplementary Note 10 (Supplementary Note 11), when the lottery result satisfies a predetermined winning condition, the moving rule as the first condition is compared with the moving rule when the winning condition is not satisfied. changed by
According to mode 11, when the winning condition is satisfied, the movement rule based on the first condition is changed, so the first reward can be greatly changed compared to when the winning condition is not satisfied.
