The input unit 21 notifies the point management unit 37 of the specified bet number. The point management unit 37 subtracts the number of bets from the current number of deposited medals. Further, the point management unit 37 notifies the interface control unit 38 of the bet number and the deposited medal number. Under the control of the display control unit 51, the display unit 23 updates the bet number and the deposited medal number of the medal display area 110.

In step S2, the tag management unit 31 distributes cards. Specifically, the tag management unit 31 shuffles the decks, determines the order of the decks, and transfers the first five cards from the top of the decks to the hand. Further, the tag management unit 31 transfers the top card of the deck after transferring the five cards to the hand (that is, the sixth card of the deck) to the place tag. The tag management unit 31 notifies the interface control unit 38 of the state of the deck, hand and place bill after the transfer of the card, and notifies the bill out determination unit 33 of the state of the hand after transfer of the card. Under the control of the display control unit 51, the display unit 23 displays the first place tag in the place bill display area 107 and displays five cards in the hand display area 109. As a result, five cards are dealt as a hand to the player and one card is put into play. Further, under the control of the display control unit 51, the display unit 23 updates the display of the bill number display area 102, the remaining card display area 105, and the deck display area 108 to the latest state.

In step S3, the payout determination unit 33 determines whether there is a card that can be put into play in the hand. Specifically, the payout determination unit 33 obtains information indicating the current payout direction from the payout direction setting unit 32, and obtains information indicating the latest rank of the place bill from the tag management unit 31. When the payout direction is not set, the payout determination unit 33 determines that the card in the hand which can be placed on the card having a different order from the latest place note, and a card having the same place as the latest place note is determined. Determines that the card can not be played. In addition, when the payout direction is set to HIGH, the payout determination unit 33 determines that the card having a higher priority than the latest place in the hand can be put into play, and the second place is less than the latest place. It is determined that the card of the order can not be put into play. Furthermore, when the payout direction is set to LOW, the payout determination unit 33 determines that the card in the hand that can be placed in a card with a lower order than the latest place tag, is more than the latest place tag. It is determined that the card of the order can not be put into play. If the payout determination unit 33 determines that there is a card that can be placed in the hand as a result of the above determination, the process proceeds to step S4.

In step S4, the bill out determination unit 33 notifies the card management unit 31 and the interface control unit 38 of cards that can be put on the ground based on the determination result in step S3. Under the control of the display control unit 51, the display unit 23 displays the characters "SELECT" on the card determined to be put out in the hand display area 109.

In step S5, the game device 11 transfers the selected card to play. Specifically, the player uses one of the SELECT buttons 151 to 155 to select one of the five cards displayed in the hand display area 109 from among the cards on which the word "SELECT" is displayed. Is selected, and information indicating the selected card is input to the tag management unit 31. The bill management unit 31 transfers the card selected by the player from the hand to the playing card. The bill management unit 31 notifies the interface control unit 38 of the state of the hand after transferring the card, and the state of the place bill after transferring the card is the place combination judgment unit 34, the point management unit 37, and the interface The control unit 38 is notified. Under the control of the display control unit 51, the display unit 23 erases the card selected by the player from the hand display area 109, and arranges it next to the right of the latest place tag displayed in the place tag display area 107. indicate. Further, under the control of the display control unit 51, the display unit 23 updates the display of the position of the cursor in the basic point display area 101, the number display area 102 for the bill and the remaining card display area 105 to the latest state.

In step S6, the field card combination determination unit 34 determines the field card combination. Specifically, on the basis of the order, suit, rank and color of the place bill, the place combination judgment unit 34 checks the progress of the place combination changed by the addition of a new place note, and the progress status is a point management unit 37 and the interface control unit 38. Under the control of the display control unit 51, the display unit 23 updates the display of the field winning combination display area 106 to the latest state.

In step S7, the point management unit 37 calculates points. Specifically, the point management unit 37 calculates the basic point at the present time based on the number of the stage currently being played and the number of the current place plate. In addition, when a place card of a complete system is completed by a card newly put into play, the point management unit 37 adds bonus points for the completed system of the completed system to bonus points accumulated so far. . In addition, when the bonus point of the chain color is increased by the card newly put into play, the point management unit 37 adds the increased point to the bonus points accumulated so far. The point management unit 37 notifies the interface control unit 38 of the points acquired by the player, which is the sum of the calculated basic points and the bonus points. The display unit 23 updates the number of points acquired in the medal display area 110 under the control of the display control unit 51.

In step S8, the tag management unit 31 determines whether or not the hand is exhausted. If it is determined that a hand is left, the process proceeds to step S9.

In step S9, the payout direction setting unit 32 determines whether it is necessary to change the payout direction. Specifically, the tag management unit 31 determines that the latest place card (ie, a card newly put into play by the player) and the previous place note (ie, the card is newly put into play by the player) At the time, the information indicating the rank of the card which is the latest place card is notified to the payout direction setting unit 32. The payout direction setting unit 32 determines that a change in the payout direction is necessary if the payout direction is not set, or if the order of the latest place tag is the lowest 2 or the highest A. The process proceeds to step S10.

In step S10, the payout direction setting unit 32 changes the payout direction. Specifically, when the bid out direction is not set, the bid out direction setting unit 32 sets the position of the latest place tag higher than the one on the previous place and not the highest A, or the latest place. When the rank of the tag is the lowest two, set the payout direction to HIGH, and when the rank of the newest tag is lower than the previous tag and not the lowest 2, or, the rank of the newest tag When is the highest A, set the payout direction to LOW. In addition, when the bid out direction is set, the bid out direction setting unit 32 changes the bid out direction to HIGH when the order of the newest place tag is the lowest 2, and the order of the latest place note is When it is the highest A, change the payout direction to LOW. The payout direction setting unit 32 notifies the payout determination unit 33 of the set or changed payout direction. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S11.

In this way, when a payout direction is not set, when a card higher in rank and lower in rank than the latest place card is put into play, or regardless of the presence or absence of the setting of the payout direction. If the card with the lowest is put into play, the issue direction is set to HIGH, and if the issue direction is not set, cards with a lower rank than the latest place card and the lowest place are placed in the place. When the card with the highest rank is placed on the battle when it is dealt, or regardless of the setting of the payout direction, the payout direction is set to LOW.

On the other hand, in step S9, when the payout direction setting unit 32 sets the payout direction, the change in the payout direction is performed when the latest place tag is neither the lowest 2 nor the highest A. It is determined that the process is not necessary, the process of step S10 is skipped, and the process proceeds to step S11. That is, when a payout direction is set, when a card other than 2 or A is put into play, the payout direction is not changed.

In step S11, the tag management unit 31 determines whether or not a bill remains. If it is determined that the deck is left, the process proceeds to step S12.

In step S12, the tag management unit 31 transfers one card from the hand to the hand. That is, the tag management unit 31 transfers the top card of the deck to the hand. The tag management unit 31 notifies the interface control unit 38 of the state of the deck and the hand after transferring the card. Further, the tag management unit 31 notifies the bill-out determination unit 33 of the state of the hand after transferring the card. Under the control of the display control unit 51, the display unit 23 adds and displays the newly added hand on the hand display area 109. The display unit 23 updates the display of the deck display area 108 to the latest state under the control of the display control unit 51.

At this time, for example, by continuing to press one of the SELECT buttons 151 to 155 pressed to bring the card to the play in step S5 (by long press), the card on the top of the deck is selected. It is also possible to add a display effect to display the display until it is flipped and added to the hand, taking a longer time than usual. For example, in the state of FIG. 2, when the player presses the SELECT button 152 in order to put the 9th card of the second spade from the left of the hand display area 109 onto the battlefield, the state continues to be pressed. As shown in 5, after the top card of the deck display area 108 is placed face-down in the second space from the left of the hand display area 109, it is displayed to be slowly flipped upside down . This allows the player to feel a sense of expectation and tension as to what card will be added next to the hand, as compared to the normal display.

When one of the SELECT buttons 151 to 155 is pressed and released immediately, the uppermost card of the bill display area 108 is immediately displayed in the hand display area 109 face up. In addition, when one of the SELECT buttons 151 to 155 is held for a long time and pressing of the button is stopped while the card is being flipped, this display effect is canceled at that point, and the card is displayed face up. Note that this display effect can be applied not only to card game A but also to other card games (for example, card game B described later).

Thereafter, the process returns to step S3 and steps S3 to S12 are repeated until it is determined in step S3 that there is no card that can be put into play in the hand, or it is determined in step S8 that the hand has run out. To be executed.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S11 that no deck is left, the process returns to step S3, and it is determined in step S3 that there is no card in the hand that can be put into play, or in step S8. The processes of steps S3 to S11 are repeatedly executed until it is determined that the time t has disappeared.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S8 that the hand has run out, the process proceeds to step S13.

In step S13, the end processing unit 35 determines whether the final stage has been cleared. Specifically, the tag management unit 31 notifies the end processing unit 35 that the hand has run out. If the end processing unit 35 determines whether the final stage has been cleared and if it determines that the final stage has not yet been cleared, the process proceeds to step S14.

In step S14, the game processing unit 22 performs a stage clear process. Specifically, the end processing unit 35 notifies the point management unit 37 and the interface control unit 38 of the cleared stage number. Also, the end processing unit 35 notifies the tag management unit 31 that the stage still remains. The bill management unit 31 resets the states of the cashier, the hand and the bill. Under the control of the display control unit 51 and the voice control unit 52, the display unit 23 and the voice output unit 24 perform screen display and voice output for notifying that the stage has been cleared, and display of the next stage To start. Thereafter, the process returns to step S2, and the process of the next stage is started.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S13 that the final stage has been cleared, the process proceeds to step S15.

In step S15, the game processing unit 22 performs final stage clear processing. Specifically, the end processing unit 35 notifies the point management unit 37 and the interface control unit 38 that the final stage has been cleared. Under the control of the display control unit 51 and the audio control unit 52, the display unit 23 and the audio output unit 24 notify that the final stage has been cleared, and on the screen for selecting whether to play double-up or not. Display and output audio. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S17.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S3 that there is no card that can be put into play in the hand, the process proceeds to step S16.

In step S16, the game processing unit 22 performs a game over process. Specifically, the payout determination unit 33 notifies the end processing unit 35 that there are no cards available for play in the hand. The end processing unit 35 notifies the point management unit 37 and the interface control unit 38 that the game is over. The display unit 23 and the voice output unit 24 notify that the game is over under the control of the display control unit 51 and the voice control unit 52, and select a screen for selecting whether to play double-up or not. Display and output audio. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S17.

In step S17, the game processing unit 22 executes a double-up process. The details of the double-up process will be described later with reference to FIG. 6, but with this process, a double-up challenge is performed at the player's selection, and points acquired are increased or decreased based on the result.

In step S18, the termination processing unit 35 determines whether a refund is selected. At this time, the player can select the payout of the medal by pressing the PAYOUT button 162, and can play the game again by specifying the bet number and pressing the START button 160. When notified by the input unit 21 that the START button 160 has been pressed, the end processing unit 35 determines that it is selected to play the game again, and notes that it is selected to play the game again. The management unit 31 is notified, and the process returns to step S1. Thereafter, the processing of step S1 and subsequent steps is executed, and the processing of the next game is started.

On the other hand, in step S18, when notified by the input unit 21 that the PAYOUT button 162 has been pressed, the end processing unit 35 determines that refund is selected, and the process proceeds to step S19.

In step S19, the medal control unit 25 performs a payout. Specifically, the end processing unit 35 instructs the point management unit 37 to pay back the medals. The point management unit 37 notifies the medal control unit 25 of the current number of deposited medals. The medal control unit 25 pays back to the player the medals of the notified number of deposited medals. Thereafter, the process of the card game A ends.

Next, the details of the double-up processing in step S17 of FIG. 4 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

In step S51, the end processing unit 35 determines whether the double-up challenge has been selected. At this point, the player can challenge the double-up by pressing one of the SELECT buttons 151 to 155 and the START button 160, and ends the game by pressing the TAKE button 161. You can determine the points earned. When the end processing unit 35 is notified by the input unit 21 that one of the SELECT buttons 151 to 155 and the START button 160 has been pressed, the end processing unit 35 determines that the double-up challenge is selected, and the process is performed Go to S52.

At this time, the player presses the HALF button 163 before pressing any of the SELECT buttons 151 to 155 and the START button 160 to obtain 1/2 point of the points currently acquired. By betting (half up) and pressing the RAISE button 164, it is possible to bet (raise up) twice the points currently acquired. When either the HALF button 163 or the RAISE button 164 is pressed, the input unit 21 notifies the double-up processing unit 36 that the button is pressed. When neither the HALF button 163 nor the RAISE button 164 is pressed, all points currently acquired are betted. The double-up processing unit 36 sets the bet number according to the button pressed by the player, and notifies the point management unit 37 of the set bet number.

It should be noted that the double-up bet number may be freely set within a predetermined range (for example, within a range of 1/2 to twice the points currently earned).

In step S52, the end processing unit 35 determines whether one or more stages have been cleared. If it is determined that one or more stages have been cleared, the process proceeds to step S53.

In step S53, the end processing unit 35 determines whether the challenge to special double up has been selected. At this time, for example, the player can challenge the special double-up by pressing the SELECT button 151, and can challenge the normal double-up by pressing the SELECT button 152. When notified by the input unit 21 that the SELECT button 152 has been pressed, the end processing unit 35 determines that the normal double-up challenge is selected, and the process proceeds to step S54.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S52 that one or more stages have not been cleared, that is, if the game is over during the first stage, the process of step S53 is skipped, and the process proceeds to step S54.

In step S54, the double-up processing unit 36 executes normal double-up. Specifically, the end processing unit 35 instructs the double-up processing unit 36 to execute normal double-up. This command includes information indicating which button among the SELECT buttons 151 to 155 and the START button 160 is pressed. The double-up processing unit 36 selects a double-up game to be executed according to the button pressed by the player. Specifically, when the pressed button is any of the SELECT buttons 151 to 155, the double-up processing unit 36 selects a game corresponding to the pressed button from among the five types of double-up games. Do. Also, when the pressed button is the START button 160, the double-up processing unit 36 selects a predetermined default double-up game when the current player challenges the double-up for the first time, or a random number. Choose a double-up game at random using etc., and when the current player challenges the second and subsequent double-ups, select the double-up game that was executed last time.

The double-up processing unit 36 notifies the interface control unit 38 of the selected double-up game, and instructs display of a screen of the double-up game and output of sound. Under the control of the display control unit 51 and the sound control unit 52, the display unit 23 and the sound output unit 24 start display of a screen of the selected double-up game and output of sound.

Then, the player plays the selected double-up game in accordance with the screen displayed on the display unit 23. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S56.

On the other hand, in step S53, when notified that the SELECT button 151 has been pressed from the input unit 21, the end processing unit 35 determines that the special double-up challenge has been selected, and the process proceeds to step S55.

In step S55, the double-up processing unit 36 executes special double-up. Specifically, the end processing unit 35 instructs the double-up processing unit 36 to execute special double-up. The double-up processing unit 36 executes special double-up. The process of the double-up processing unit 36 in step S55 is basically the same as the process in step S54. However, unlike Special Double-Up, playing special double-up special double-up games or setting the number of bets to a higher value, for example, is different from normal double-up, as a bonus when clearing the stage. Becomes possible. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S56.

In step S56, the double-up processing unit 36 determines whether the double-up has succeeded. If the player can clear the double-up game, the double-up processing unit 36 determines that the double-up is successful, and the process proceeds to step S57.

In step S57, the point management unit 37 adds points. Specifically, the double-up processing unit 36 notifies the termination processing unit 35 and the point management unit 37 that the double-up has succeeded. The point management unit 37 adds the point betted in the double-up this time to the points acquired so far. The point management unit 37 notifies the interface control unit 38 of the current acquisition point. The display unit 23 updates the number of points acquired in the medal display area 110 under the control of the display control unit 51.

Thereafter, the process returns to step S51, and the processes of steps S51 to S57 are repeatedly executed until it is determined that the determination of the point has been selected in step S51 or the double-up has failed in step S56. Ru. That is, the player can press the TAKE 161 button and repeatedly try double-up until the point acquired is determined or the double-up fails.

Note that, as described above, the player can select the double-up game to be played or change the number of points to bet each time the player challenges the double-up once. Also, the number of times to play double-up may be limited, or an upper limit of points that can be obtained by double-up may be set.

On the other hand, if the player can not clear the double-up game in step S56, the double-up processing unit 36 determines that the double-up has failed, and the process proceeds to step S58.

In step S58, the point management unit 37 draws points. Specifically, the double-up processing unit 36 notifies the termination processing unit 35 and the point management unit 37 that the double-up has failed. The point management unit 37 subtracts the points betted in the double up from the points acquired so far. The point management unit 37 notifies the interface control unit 38 of the current acquisition point. The display unit 23 updates the number of points acquired in the medal display area 110 under the control of the display control unit 51. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S59.

On the other hand, in step S51, when notified that the TAKE button 161 has been pressed from the input unit 21, the end processing unit 35 determines that the determination of the point has been selected, and the process proceeds to step S59.

In step S59, the point management unit 37 determines points. Specifically, the end processing unit 35 instructs the point management unit 37 to determine points. The point management unit 37 resets the acquired points to 0, and adds the number of medals corresponding to the acquired points to the number of deposited medals. The point management unit 37 notifies the interface control unit 38 of the number of acquired points and the number of deposited medals. Under the control of the display control unit 51, the display unit 23 updates the number of acquired points and the number of deposited medals of the medal display area 110. After that, the double-up process ends.

In step S51, when the PAYOUT button 162 is pressed, it is determined that refund is selected, and after the process of step S59 is performed, the process may proceed to step S19 of FIG. 4 described above.

As described above, it is possible to provide a more entertaining new card game. Specifically, it is very difficult to clear the stage continuously while the card game A is a simple rule, and the player can play for a long time without feeling bored. In addition, the player can aim for a place card role other than clearing the stage, and when selecting a card to be put into play, the factor by which the player's thinking intervenes increases, and the examination of the game increases.

In addition, compared with the card game described in Patent Document 1 described above, card game A has more card candidates that can be put into play on average, and the average number of cards eventually put into play is also increased. . Therefore, the probability of clearing the stage is also high, and the player can enjoy more sense of achievement.

Here, a variation of the card game A rule will be described.

The first modified example is to make it possible to put a card of the same order as the latest place tag into the game regardless of the payout direction. That is, when the payout direction is set to HIGH, it is determined that the card capable of putting the card with the rank higher than the latest place card into play and the payout direction is set to LOW, In addition to determining that it is a card that can put a card of the order below the latest place card into play, it is determined that a card of all the ranks can be put into play if the payout direction is not set. It should be noted that only when the payout direction is not set, it may be possible to put a card of the same order as the latest place bill into the game.

The second modification is a modification of the first modification, and when a card of the same rank as the latest place tag is put into play, the payout direction is left unset and in the hand. It allows you to put all of your cards into play. This makes it possible to change the payout direction based on the player's will, further increases the factor by which the player's thoughts intervene in selecting a card to be put into play, and further enhances the game.

A third modification is to add a predetermined number of jokers to a deck and use the joker as a wild card. That is, the joker can be used as a favorite card other than the joker. This adds more elements to the strategy for using wild cards and increases the game's appeal. Note that a specific card (for example, a card with a rank of 7) may be used as a wildcard without adding a joker to the deck.

In the fourth variation, a predetermined number of jokers (but within (number of cards in hand-1)) is added to the deck and the joker can not be put into play only after all cards other than the joker have been put into play. It is to As a result, when a joker is included in the hand, the number of cards that can be put into play is substantially reduced, so that the degree of difficulty of the game can be increased. Note that cards other than the joker (for example, cards with a rank of 7) may be set as cards that can not be played until all other cards have been played.

A fifth modification is to prevent cards of a predetermined rank from being put into play last. For example, since the card with the highest rank A and the card with the lowest two are cards that are easy to put into play at the end, there is a mental state that the player wants to hold cards A and 2 as much as possible. Therefore, by making it impossible to put the cards of A and 2 into play at the end, it is possible to increase the difficulty of the game.

A plurality of modifications may be combined within the possible range. For example, combinations of the first modification, the third modification, the fifth modification, the second modification and the fourth modification, and the like are possible. Further, the above modification can be realized, for example, by changing the setting condition of the payout direction by the payout direction setting unit 32 and the determination condition of the card that can be put into play by the payout determination unit 33. is there.

In the above description, the first place card is put out from the deck, but it may be selected from the hand and put out. In this way, the player can formulate a strategy from the moment the first card is put into play, and the game becomes more interesting.

Further, in the above description, an example in which the payout direction is not set at the beginning of the stage is shown, but the payout direction may be set to HIGH or LOW at the beginning of the stage. For example, at the beginning of the stage, the payout direction may be set using a random number or the like, or the payout direction may be set according to the rank of the first place tag.

Furthermore, the order of the cards is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and other orders (for example, the order of A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K) ) May be used.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing a second embodiment of the game device to which the present invention is applied. The game device 201 is a device that performs processing of a card game (hereinafter referred to as a card game B) using playing cards. In the figure, parts corresponding to those in FIG. 1 are assigned the same reference numerals, and explanations of parts having the same processing will be omitted because they will be repeated.

Here, the rules of the card game B will be described. Similar to the card game A, the card game B selects a card satisfying a predetermined condition from the hands distributed to the player and puts it on the field, and if there is a deck, the card from the deck It is a game that aims to put as many cards as possible into play while drawing one card and adding it to the hand.

Specifically, first, 5 cards are dealt to the player as a hand, from a deck consisting of 52 cards of one set of playing cards. If there are no cards in play, the player can put any card from the hand into play. In addition, when a card is out of play, the player has the same suit card as the latest play card, or a card with the latest play card adjacent to the rank regardless of the suit (rank before and after the latest play card Card) can be put into play. For example, if the latest place tag is 7 of spade, the player can put a card of spade or a card of rank 6 or 8 into the battle from the hand. The cards adjacent to the A card and the rank are the 2 and K cards, and the cards adjacent to the K card and the rank are 1 and Q cards.

And if all the decks can be put into play and the hand can be eliminated, the game on one stage will be cleared. The player can challenge up to a predetermined number of stages (for example, 5), and the game is over when the final stage is cleared. On the other hand, if there are no cards in the hand that can be played, the game is over. Then, basic points are given to the player according to the number of stages cleared and the number of cards put into play.

Further, as in the case of the card game A, when the above-mentioned place bill combination is completed, the player is given bonus points according to the completed form combination. Furthermore, the basic points and bonus points fluctuate according to the bet number specified by the player before playing the game. That is, the higher the bet number, the higher the points awarded, and the lower the bet number, the lower the points awarded.

The game device 201 is configured to include an input unit 21, a game processing unit 221, a display unit 23, an audio output unit 24, and a medal control unit 25.

The game processing unit 221 includes, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a memory, and the like, and controls the processing of the card game B by executing a predetermined control program. As the game processing unit 221 executes a predetermined control program, the tag management unit 231, the bill-out determination unit 233, the field bill combination determination unit 234, the end processing unit 235, the double-up processing unit 236, the point management unit 237, and The functions including the interface control unit 238 are realized. In the game processing unit 221, the parts corresponding to the game processing unit 22 in FIG. 1 are given the same reference numerals for the lower two digits, and the description is the same for parts with the same processing, so the description is omitted. .

The bill management unit 231 manages the state of the deck, the hand and the bill, and if necessary, the bill state, the bill state, and the bill state, the bill out determination unit 233, the bill The determination unit 234, the end processing unit 235, the point management unit 237, and the interface control unit 238 are notified.

As described later with reference to FIG. 9, the bill out determination unit 233 determines whether or not each card in the hand can be put into play, and determines the determination result as a tag management unit 231, an end processing unit 235, and The interface control unit 238 is notified.

FIG. 8 shows an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 23 while the card game B is played. In the figure, parts corresponding to those in FIG. 2 are given the same reference numerals.

In the screen of FIG. 8, the remaining card display area 105 is replaced with the remaining card display area 301 and the place bill display area 107 is replaced with the place bill display area 302 in comparison with the screen of FIG. 2.

The remaining card display area 301 is different from the remaining card display area 105 in FIG. 2 in the display order of the cards. That is, while remaining cards are displayed in the order of 2, 3, 4, ..., K, A from the top in the remaining card display area 105, in the remaining card display area 301, from the top A, 2 The remaining cards are displayed in the order of 3, 4, ..., K. In addition, among the fields of the remaining card display area 301, regardless of the presence or absence in the hand, change the color of the field corresponding to the cards that can be put on the field or blink the card that can be put on the field. It may be made explicit.

The place bill display area 302 is different from the place bill display area 107 in FIG. 2 in that a portion indicating no arrow indicating whether the order is higher or lower than that of the previous card is displayed on each card.

In FIG. 8, the points displayed in the basic point display area 101, the chain color point display area 103, and the field card combination point display area 104 have the same values as in FIG. It is possible to set different points for game A and card game B.

Next, the process of the card game B executed by the game device 201 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. This process is started, for example, when the player inserts a medal into the medal control unit 25, designates the number of bets using the BET button 157, 5 BET button 158 or MAX BET button 159, and presses the START button 160. Ru. At this time, the medal control unit 25 notifies the point management unit 37 of the number of inserted medals as the number of deposited medals.

In step S101, the game processing unit 221 starts the game (card game B) by the same process as the process of the game apparatus 11 in step S1 of FIG.

In step S102, the tag management unit 231 distributes the card. Specifically, the tag management unit 231 shuffles the decks, determines the order of the decks, and transfers the first five cards from the top of the deck to the hand. The tag management unit 231 notifies the interface control unit 238 of the state of the deck and the hand after transferring the card, and notifies the payout determination unit 233 of the state of the hand after transferring the card. Under the control of the display control unit 251, the display unit 23 displays five cards in the hand display area 109. Thus, five cards are dealt to the player as a hand. The display unit 23 updates the display of the deck display area 108 to the latest state under the control of the display control unit 251.

In step S103, the payout determination unit 233 determines whether there is a card that can be put into play in the hand. Specifically, the payout determination unit 233 acquires, from the tag management unit 231, information indicating the rank and the suit of the latest place tag. The payout determination unit 233 determines that a card of the same suit as the latest place card in the hand, or a card with the latest place card and the rank adjacent to it can be put out on the field, It determines that the card can not be played. Further, when there is not one place card, the payout determination unit 233 determines that all the cards in the hand can be put out on the ground. If it is determined that there is a card that can be put in the hand, the processing proceeds to step S104.

The processes of steps S104 to S107 are the same as the processes of steps S4 to S7 in FIG. 4 described above, and the description thereof will be omitted.

In step S108, as in the process of step S8 in FIG. 4 described above, it is determined whether or not the hand is lost. If it is determined that the hand is not lost, the process proceeds to step S109.

In step S109, it is determined whether or not a bill remains as in the process of step S11 of FIG. 4 described above. If it is determined that a deck is left, the process proceeds to step S110, where one card is transferred from the deck to the hand in step S110 as in the process of step S12 of FIG. 4 described above. Thereafter, the process returns to step S103, and the process of steps S103 to S110 is repeated until it is determined in step S103 that there is no card that can be put into play in the hand, or it is determined in step S108 that the hand is exhausted. To be executed.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S109 that no deck is left, the process returns to step S103, and it is determined in step S103 that there is no card that can be put into play in the hand or in step S108. The processes in steps S103 to S109 are repeatedly executed until it is determined that the time has disappeared.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S108 that the hand has run out, the process proceeds to step S111.

If it is determined in step S103 that there is no card in the hand that can be put into play, the process proceeds to step S114.

The processes of steps S111 to S117 are the same as the processes of steps S14 to S19 in FIG. 4 described above, and the description thereof will be omitted.

As described above, it is possible to provide a more entertaining new card game. Specifically, it is very difficult to clear the stage continuously while the card game B is a simple rule, and the player can play for a long time without feeling bored. In addition, the player can aim for a place card role other than clearing the stage, and when selecting a card to be put into play, the factor by which the player's thinking intervenes increases, and the examination of the game increases.

In addition, compared with the card game described in Patent Document 1 described above, card game B has more card candidates that can be put into play on average, and the average number of cards finally put into play is also increased. . Therefore, the probability of clearing the stage is also high, and the player can enjoy more sense of achievement.

The above-described third to fifth modifications of the card game A can also be applied to the card game B.

Hereinafter, possible modifications of both card games A and B will be described.

First, the role of the game is not limited to the above example, and it is also possible to add other roles or reduce the roles. For example, the following example can be considered as another place-play role.

・ If you can play poker on 5 consecutive cards, you will receive bonus points.
Give bonus points according to the number of consecutive odd or even bills.
・ As in 2, 2, 3, 3, 4 and 4, bonus cards are awarded according to the number of consecutive cards of the same rank.
・ 1, 10, bonus points will be awarded according to the number of consecutive cards (J, Q, K).

In addition, bonus points may be given when a hand specified as a hand based on at least one of a suit, a rank and a color of the hand is completed. As a result, the player can aim for a hand in addition to the playing field, and the factor that the player's thoughts intervene when selecting a card to be put into the game is further increased, and the game becomes more interesting. For the hand role, for example, the following roles can be considered.

・ The role of poker. In addition, higher bonus points may be awarded if the poker hand is completed in the first hand dealt.
-Give bonus points according to the number of times the color of the hand turns to red only or black only.
Give bonus points when the sum of the ranks of the hand reaches a predetermined value (for example, 21).

Furthermore, the arrangement of the decks may be randomly determined using a random number or the like, or may be determined according to a predetermined algorithm. Also, the decks may be shuffled at an appropriate timing or at all times without determining the order of the decks at the beginning of the stage. For example, it is possible to determine the card to be drawn from the bill at the timing when the player operates the input unit 21 by shuffleing the bill when pulling the card from the bill.

Further, in the above description, the number of hand cards is five, but it is also possible to make the number other than five.

Furthermore, although the maximum number of stages is set in the above description, it is possible to set no limit on the number of stages.

Further, in the above description, one set of playing cards is used for a game of one stage, but two or more sets of playing cards may be used. That is, two or more sets of playing cards may be used as a deck.

Furthermore, it is also possible not to add a field card to the rule. In this case, if at least the rank and suit of the hand and the latest place card are displayed on the display unit 23, it is possible to play the game.

Also, the bill may not be displayed on the screen.

Furthermore, a progressive system may be applied to the card game A and the card game B. Here, with the progressive system, part of medals bet on the card game A or the card game B are pooled in the jackpot, and a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, when the final stage is cleared, the predetermined) The game is a system that gives the player who has fulfilled the conditions the medals that are being pooled, for example, when the field card is completed. The progressive system is connected to a plurality of game devices via a network or the like to share a jackpot, and link progressive (or, alternatively, pool medals from a plurality of game devices in one jackpot. There is a type such as a linked progressive), a stand-alone where one game device has one jackpot, and only medals of the game device are pooled in the jackpot.

The link progressive is not limited to a game device dedicated to card game A or card game B, but may be, for example, a personal computer or a general-purpose game device executing software of card game A or card game B, a network, etc. It is also possible to apply to online games connected via In addition, the types of games connected to link progressive need not necessarily be the same. For example, jackpot medals are given to players who have established predetermined conditions set in each game. It is also possible.

Also, in the above description, an example of using a medal for playing a game is shown, but for example, instead of a medal, a coin, a bill, a ticket, various cards (for example, an IC card, a prepaid card, a credit card, etc.) It is also possible to use) and the like. In addition, for example, it is possible to enjoy the number of cards, the number of cleared stages, and the number of points acquired simply by putting them into play without using medals or the like.
