With the winnings in the gold pool, players will be attracted by the ever-increasing winnings in the winning pool and continue to play the game machine.

In order to increase the number of times players have won prizes to attract players to play, the prize pools currently have a multi-level design, that is, the prize pool can have multiple prizes, for example, they can be called separately As Mini, Minor, Major and Grand prizes, they can have different start-up values and correspond to different prize values, and each prize The gold value is accumulated independently, and at the same time, it is calculated separately whether to obtain the bonus or the qualification to enter the bonus game. And the prize pool of the prize pool may be accumulated by multiple gaming machines. Therefore, multiple players may have the opportunity to win the prize at the same time. These players need to go through additional prize games to determine the final winning prize. Players.

However, for a player with a large bet, if the bonus game is in progress, he can only win a bonus value that is smaller than the payout value of the game result in the game, or follow it. After the other players compete, they cannot become the final winner. For these players with large bets, it is easy to feel that it is better not to play the jackpot game, that is, they will want to give up the chance to win the jackpot because it takes time to play extra. Bonus game, but the final reward may not be as expected. Even if the bonus is directly obtained, it may also be the minimum bonus value. The minimum bonus value may be smaller than the payout value that is often won in the course of the main game, which affects the bet. The game playing rhythm of the player with a larger stake will affect the player's interest in playing instead.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to disclose a game device and its bet pool switch control system, which can first determine the bet amount of the player, and then turn on the bet prize that the player who uses this bet amount is expected, and turn off the bet that is too small.

The detailed description and technical content of the present invention are described as follows in conjunction with the drawings: The first embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3 and Figure 4, which depicts the present invention as a kind of lottery pool. The switch control system 20 is connected to a game device 10 and a betting servo device 30. The game device 10 has a processing unit 11, a betting interface 12, a game display interface 13, a scoring unit input port 14 and a scoring unit output port 15. The processing arithmetic unit 11 generates a complex number game result. The betting interface 12 is operated by a player to generate a bet selection. In practical applications, the betting interface 12 can be a button or a touch screen. The game display interface 13 is a display screen for displaying the game results; in addition, the game display interface 13 can also be integrated with the betting interface 12 for players to place bets on a touch display screen And check the game result. The scoring unit input port 14 is for players to put in banknotes or substitutes. The currency is converted into an amount or points for the player to play the game. When the player wants to stop the game, the remaining banknotes or tokens are retrieved from the output port 15 of the scoring unit.

When a player wants to play a game, he first puts banknotes or tokens into the scoring unit input port 14 to obtain the amount or points required for the game. The game display interface 13 can display a plurality of different bets. The bet selection allows the player to make a selection on the betting interface 12 to play the game. When the game result is generated, the processing unit 11 randomly selects from the game results and displays it on the game display interface 13, and at the same time according to the game result Decide whether to pay the player. In addition to the payout of the game result, the player can trigger a jackpot game based on the appearance of a specific symbol in the game result or because the game result meets specific rules, and then win the jackpot. The detailed description of the jackpot is as follows. The jackpot servo device 30 stores the plural jackpot values corresponding to the plural jackpot prizes 31, as shown in FIG. 4. For example, the plural jackpot prizes 31 include mini, winning, and grand prizes ( Major) and Grand Award.

The betting pool switch control system 20 includes an activation threshold calculation element 21, a control arithmetic unit 22, and a closing element 23. The activation threshold calculation element 21 captures the bet made by the player on the betting interface 12 Select and generate at least one activation threshold value according to a specified calculation method.

The control arithmetic unit 22 executes a determination procedure as follows: a) retrieve the at least one activation threshold and the winnings; b) compare the winnings with the at least one activation threshold, when at least one of the When the equal prize value corresponds to the at least one activation threshold, an activation signal is generated; and c) the activation signal is transmitted to the prize servo device 30 so that the prize value corresponding to the at least one activation threshold is The jackpot 31 is in a triggerable state.

The aforementioned jackpot prize 31 that can be triggered can be determined whether to be paid to the player according to various game settings nowadays. Therefore, in the process of playing the game, players can not only randomly win the basic payouts of the game results, but also have the opportunity to win prizes.

The determination procedure further includes: when at least one of the winnings does not correspond to the at least one activation threshold value, the control arithmetic unit 22 controls the closing element 23 to generate a closing signal, and transmits the closing signal to the lottery The gold servo device 30 keeps the winnings 31 without at least one of the winnings corresponding to the at least one activation threshold in a closed state. In this way, when the winning value does not have the corresponding activation threshold value, it can be ensured that the winning prize 31 is in the closed state, so that it can be ensured that a player with a large bet can be prevented from getting a small winning prize 31. In other embodiments of the present invention, the betting pool switch control system may also only include an activation threshold calculation element and a control calculation unit, instead of the aforementioned determination procedure of the control calculation unit 22 controlling the closing element 23 to generate a closing signal .

It should be noted that whenever the player changes the bet selection, the activation threshold calculation component 21 will re-execute the aforementioned determination procedure according to the specified calculation method, and generate the activated threshold value corresponding to the changed again, so that the corresponding The bonus prizes 31 of the changed activation threshold value are in a state that can be triggered, and the bonus prizes 31 that do not correspond to the changed activation threshold value are in a closed state, and will not be triggered to win the player.

The specified calculation method of the activation threshold is determined by integrated calculation based on game characteristics, local needs, player expectations and rules of thumb. The signal for the player's bet selection can come from bet options, bet multiples or total bets. After the threshold calculation component 21 uses a function calculation conversion or data look-up method to form the activation threshold value for the signal selected by this bet, the control calculation unit 22 compares the activation threshold value with the prize value of the plural prize prize 31. , And generate an enabling signal for one or more of the corresponding jackpot prizes 31 to notify the jackpot servo device 30 so that the corresponding jackpot One or more of the jackpot prizes 31 are set to a state that can be triggered. Conversely, if there is no corresponding one or more prizes 31, the control computing unit 22 informs the closing element 23 to generate a closing signal, and transmits the closing signal to the winning servo device 30, so that there is no corresponding one. One or more of the jackpot prizes 31 are closed.

Or, the activation threshold calculation component 21 first calculates a bet amount based on the bet selection, and then directly multiplies the bet amount by a specific multiple to determine the activation threshold to be turned on and off. For example, the activation threshold calculation component 21 can directly set 2 times the bet amount as the activation threshold value, and when the control calculation unit 22 determines that the initial bonus value of the bonus value is greater than 2 times the bet amount, it transmits The activation signal is sent to the bonus servo device 30 to turn on the bonus prize 31 corresponding to the bonus value, so that it is in a triggerable state; on the other hand, if the control computing unit 22 determines that the bonus value is less than the bet amount When the value is doubled, the control arithmetic unit 22 controls the closing element 23 to generate a closing signal to close the bonus prize 31 corresponding to the bonus value, so that it is in a state where it cannot be triggered. The 2 times here is just an example. It can also be set to 1.3 times, 3 times, or 5 times. Preferably, the multiple can be determined according to the expectations of players in various places or the profit target of the gaming venue.

In practice, the bet options include one bet option, one bet multiple or one total bet (BET). The bet option can be applied to the wheel direction payment game (way game) or specific line game (line game). ). In terms of the wheel direction payment game, as shown in the game display interface 13 in Figure 3, this game provides all wheel direction payment, that is, 243 wheel directions (three to the fifth power), and five types of credits are provided on the left side. The options are 8, 18, 38, 68, 88. Players can open or close different prize pools by selecting different betting options, such as Mini, Minor, and Major ) And Grand Prize. The right side of the game display interface 13 provides bet multiples, which are 1, 2, 3, 6, 10 and other five multiple options. The total bet calculation is 8, 18 on the left. , 38, 68, 88 and other five betting options selected by the player , To multiply by the player's choice among the five betting multiples of 1, 2, 3, 6, and 10 on the right. As shown in Figure 3, the player chooses the 88 bet option (the box-selected), with 10 times the bet multiple (the box-selected), the total bet is 88 on the left multiplied by 10 on the right, which is the picture 880 shown in.

Please also refer to FIG. 4, where the game device 10 can be connected to a jackpot display interface 16. In actual application, the game device 10 has the aforementioned game display interface 13 (that is, a display screen), It is also connected to an additional display screen independent of the gaming device, that is, the bonus display interface 16, and the gaming device 10 obtains the bonus values of the bonus awards 31 from the bonus servo device 30 and is in the available state. The jackpot 31 in the triggered state is sent to the jackpot display interface 16, and the jackpot 31 is displayed on the jackpot display interface 16, and the jackpot 31 series in the triggerable state For highlighting.

In addition, please refer to FIG. 3 again. In another embodiment, the bonus prizes 31 can be directly displayed on the game display interface 13, so that the game results and the bonus prizes 31 are displayed on the same Display screen; or, the game device 10 has two screens at the same time, respectively displaying the game results and the winning prizes 31. Regardless of whether the game display interface 13 is a single display screen and two more display screens, the jackpot 31 in a triggerable state is highlighted to attract the attention of players.

Taking the examples of FIGS. 3 and 4 to illustrate, the jackpot prizes 31 that can be triggered are only two types: Major and Grand. There are many ways to highlight, such as using a higher brightness display; or changing the brightness and darkness, the opened bonus 31 will be displayed with a higher brightness, and the unturned bonus 31 will be darker; or it can be turned off. Add symbols such as crosses, chains, locks and the like to the jackpot 31 of the prize; or enlarge and display the opened jackpot 31. The above-mentioned highlighting method is only an example, and the actual application of the present invention is not limited to this.

Based on the above, the present invention can open or close the bonus prize 31 according to the bet selection. In other words, when the bet value is high, the small bonus prize 31 is closed to avoid being triggered by the player and affecting the game rhythm . The following is a list of the betting options corresponding to Figure 3. The betting options are divided into 8, 18, 38, 68 and 88, and the corresponding jackpot prizes 31 are divided into Mini, Minor, and Major. And the grand prize (Grand). With the betting pool switch control system of the present invention, different betting options can be opened and closed corresponding to the betting prize 31 after calculation and judgment. For example, when the betting option is 8, only the Mini is turned on; the betting option is At 18:00, Mini and Minor are turned on; when the bet option is 38, Minor and Major are turned on; when the bet option is 68, Major and Grand are turned on; when the bet option is 88, only Grand is turned on. The corresponding opening and closing of the jackpot 31 can also be implemented in other ways, depending on actual needs.

The control arithmetic unit 22 can execute the judgment procedure independently on the winnings. Since each bet selection may correspond to more than one winnings value, the control arithmetic unit 22 must select the bet selected. Individually perform judgment procedures. The above-mentioned individual judgment procedure seems complicated, but it is well known that the execution speed of the program is extremely fast. When the user changes the bet selection, the game display interface 13 can directly display the open or closed jackpot 31.

Please also refer to Figures 5 and 6, respectively. The game screens 40A and 40B are used to illustrate the design of the first embodiment applied to the wheel direction payment game, which is to turn on a different number of wheels (REEL) to allow players to switch between different The betting options provide different numbers of roller directions to pay for the game. For example, in Figure 5, only one wheel is turned on (the REELS number on the left is marked with a thick frame to indicate that it is turned on, and the dotted line indicates that it is not turned on), while in Figure 6 all five wheels are turned on, so that when different numbers of wheels are turned on, the player needs to place different bets. The amount or points does not necessarily increase by the same multiple by turning on different numbers of rollers. The wheel direction payment game design shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 allows players to choose to turn on different numbers of rollers. , And can turn on or off different colors 31 gold prizes. For example, as shown in Figure 5, there are fewer scroll wheels, so only small prizes and winning prizes 31 can be opened; that is, the threshold calculation element 21 is activated to capture the bet selection with only one scroll wheel turned on. After generating at least one activation threshold value according to the specified calculation method, the control calculation unit 22 executes the determination procedure, so that the bonus servo device 30 only activates the corresponding small prize and the winning prize 31. And as shown in Figure 6, it turns on all the scroll wheels, so it turns off the small prizes and winning prizes 31, and at the same time opens the big and big prizes 31; that is, the threshold calculation element 21 is activated to capture the player to open all After the bet selection of the five rollers of, and the activation threshold calculation element 21 generates at least one activation threshold value according to the specified calculation method, the control arithmetic unit 22 executes the judgment procedure, so that the winnings servo device 30 responds Upon arrival, the activation signal and the deactivation signal will turn off the small and winning jackpot prizes 31, and open the jackpot prizes 31 for the grand and grand prizes.

Please also refer to Figures 7 and 8 respectively. The game screens 40C and 40D are used to illustrate the design of the first embodiment applied to a specific online payment game. As shown in Figure 7, the player only selects the game settings at this time. 1 connection method (the LINES number on the left is marked with a thick frame to indicate that it is turned on, and the dotted line indicates that it is not turned on), as shown in Figure 8, at this time the player selects the specific 20 connection methods set by the game, Figures 7 and 8 The connection shown only appears briefly when the player chooses the connection method to bet. Therefore, when the player chooses the connection method of the desired bet from these specific 20 connection methods (that is, select the bet option of the desired bet), it also responds to the connection that the player chooses to bet The number of ways to turn on or off the jackpot prizes with different jackpot values 31. For example, as shown in Figure 7, the player only selects the bottom 1 line and only bets on one connection method, so it only opens the small prize prize 31; that is, the threshold calculation component 21 is enabled to capture For the bet selection of betting only 1 line, after at least one activation threshold is generated according to the specified calculation method, the control arithmetic unit 22 executes the judgment procedure, so that the jackpot servo device 30 only activates the corresponding small prize. Jackpot 31. And as shown in Figure 8 The player shown selects the top 20 lines, which is 20 connection methods for betting. Therefore, it closes the jackpot 31 for small and winning prizes, and opens the jackpot 31 for grand prizes and grand prizes at the same time; that is, the activation threshold The calculation element 21 captures the bet selection of all 20 connection modes of the player betting, and generates at least one activation threshold value according to the specified calculation mode, and the control calculation unit 22 executes the judgment process to make the winnings servo In response to the activation signal and the deactivation signal received, the device 30 turns off the jackpot prizes 31 for the small prize and the winning jackpot, and turns on the jackpot prizes 31 for the grand prize and the grand prize at the same time.

Also, as mentioned above, each of the game results of the present invention may have a basic payout amount, and the designated operation method based on the activation threshold calculation element 21 may generate the at least one activation threshold value based on the bet selection and the payout amount. . Since different bet options (bet options, bet multiples or total bet points) will make the payout value of the game result different, the payout value is converted by the exchange rate (denomination), which is the payout amount. The probability design result of a general game, for example, may be 0.05~2430 times the bet amount, but the most commonly received payout amount for the player may be 0 (not winning), other payout amounts with lower probability, in other words, in most cases The payout amount is the bet amount multiplied by less than 1 or 0 (not winning). Take a certain wheel direction payment game as an example. The game has five wheels, each of which randomly selects three consecutive symbols to display, and the total bet is 500. Among them, the game has a rule that when a certain symbol The payout value when one of the five rollers appears is 5000. When this symbol appears on three of the five rollers, the payout value is set to the fifth power of 3 times the aforementioned payout value of 5000, which is 5000 x 243. In other words, the payout value mentioned later is 2430 times the total bet (243x5000/500=2430), which is also 2430 times the aforementioned bet amount. It should be noted that in this example, points (credit) are used instead of descriptions. For the amount, the multiples remain unchanged after the aforementioned points are converted by the exchange rate. This is because different games will design different payout multiples. For example, some games mostly have no points, but there are still some game results with specific multiples that appear more often. For example, the game result of A game has the second highest chance of appearing 1.5 times, and the B game The second highest probability of appearing in the game result is 3 times. Theoretically, the probability of the latter will be lower than the former, that is, the second highest probability of the two different games, the two second highest probability, the higher multiple will appear less than The probability of occurrence of a low multiple.

Based on the above, in the implementation aspect of the first embodiment of the present invention, the designated calculation method adopted by the activation threshold calculation element 21 may be to first determine the player's bet choice, referring to the current payout value of various game results, and the exchange rate. The amount of compensation after conversion. Next, determine the bet amount currently selected for betting, extract the player's return rate of this machine and the appearance probability of each game result, and calculate the appearance probability of various payouts. Except for the case where the payout is 0, the first The multiple of 2~5 high probability of occurrence, choose one or two or three to average, and multiply it by the bet amount as the activation threshold. When the control arithmetic unit 22 determines that the start value of the bonus value is greater than the enable threshold value, an enable signal is generated and sent to the bonus servo device 30 to activate the bonus prize 31 corresponding to the bonus value. , Make it in a state that can be triggered; on the other hand, if the control calculation unit 22 determines that the start value of the bonus value is less than the enable threshold value, the control calculation unit 22 controls the closing element 23 to generate A closing signal is sent to the bonus servo device 30 to close the bonus prize 31 corresponding to the bonus value and make it in a state where it cannot be triggered.

In another implementation aspect of the first embodiment of the present invention, the specified calculation method may be that the activation threshold calculation element 21 is based on at least one of the plurality of game result probabilities corresponding to the winning values and the game results One. At least one of the plural payout values corresponding to the probabilities of the game results is calculated to obtain an average payout amount, and the average payout amount is multiplied by a multiple to generate the at least one activation threshold value.

In more detail, in one approach of this implementation aspect, the designated calculation method is that the activation threshold calculation element 21 calculates the average payout amount based on the probability of the game result, the corresponding payout value of the game result, and the exchange rate. The average compensation amount is multiplied by a multiple as the activation gate Threshold value, the control arithmetic unit 22 then uses the activation threshold value to compare with each winning value. The multiple of the average compensation amount can be 1, or greater than 1, or less than 1, depending on actual demand. In addition, the activation threshold calculation component 21 may also only take the probability of a specific game result and the corresponding payout value, and then calculate the average payout amount in accordance with the exchange rate. The so-called specific game results here are, for example, only looking at the top three payouts, or staggered payouts ranked odd numbers, such as the top 1, 3, and 5 rankings.

Based on the above, the designated calculation method adopted by the betting pool switch control system 20 of the present invention can adjust the initial betting value, the draw ratio, the probability of the game result, and the corresponding payout of the game result according to the preferences of players in different countries and regions. Value of the parameter value.

In addition, the betting pool switch control system 20 may further include an activation threshold data table, each of the bonus prizes 31 is provided with an increment, and the activation threshold calculation component 21 is based on the specified calculation method to bet The selection is multiplied by the allocation ratios, and the at least one activation threshold value is generated from the activation threshold data table. Or, in other implementations, the designated operation method based on the activation threshold calculation component 21 is to multiply the bet selection by the allocation ratio, and then multiply it by an adjustment magnification to generate the at least one activation threshold value.

In other words, the processing unit 11 calculates the total bet points each time the player chooses to bet, then converts it into the bet amount through the exchange rate, and then multiplies it by a transfer ratio, and the distribution is accumulated to each bet. Jackpot 31. This allocation ratio may vary according to different betting options and betting multiples. In addition, the activation threshold calculation component 21 can obtain the corresponding withdrawal ratio for each bet selected by the player, and then can directly use the withdrawal ratio as the activation threshold value, or convert it into the allocated amount and then use it as the activation threshold. Threshold value.

Enumerate a detailed calculation example, the explanation is as follows: It sets the bet selection to bet multiples, and the bet multiples are 10, 20, 40, 70, and 90. By selecting different betting multiples, it will change (that is, Turn on or off) the jackpot 31 that is in a triggerable state. Assume that the bonus prize 31 in this example may have five types, Grand, Maxi, Major, Minor, and Mini from large to small, and the allocation ratio of each bet amount corresponds to 0.01 and 0.05 for each bonus prize 31, respectively. , 0.1, 0.2, 0.25 (only examples, not actual settings), the corresponding relationship between the stake multiple and the amount withdrawn is as follows:

Therefore, it can be designed that when the activation threshold calculation component 21 calculates that the total amount of the current bet selection is 6.1, after the control calculation unit 22 executes the judgment procedure, the jackpot servo device 30 responds to the activation signal or at the same time In response to the shutdown signal, only turning on the Mini can be triggered, and the others are off and cannot be triggered; when the activation threshold calculation component 21 calculates that the total amount of the current bet selection is 12.2, it passes through the control computing unit 22 After the judgment process is executed, the jackpot servo device 30 responds to the activation signal or also to the deactivation signal, and only turns on the Minor as a triggerable state; when the activation threshold calculation component 21 calculates that the total amount of the current bet selection is 24.4 , After the control computing unit 22 executes the judgment procedure, the jackpot servo device 30 responds to the activation signal or also to the deactivation signal, and only turns on the Major as a triggerable state; when the activation threshold calculation component 21 calculates the current bet selection When the total amount withdrawn is 42.7, after the control arithmetic unit 22 executes the judgment procedure, the jackpot servo device 30 responds to the activation signal or the deactivation signal at the same time, and only the Maxi is turned on is a triggerable state; when the activation threshold is calculated When the component 21 calculates that the total amount allocated for the current bet selection is 54.9, the control calculation unit 22 executes the judgment. After the program is interrupted, the jackpot servo device 30 responds to the activation signal or the deactivation signal at the same time, and only the Grand is turned on as a triggerable state.
