The above and other technical contents, features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention.

Before the present invention is described in detail, it is noted that in the following description, similar elements are denoted by the same reference numerals.

Referring to Figures 1 and 2, a first preferred embodiment of the interactive wheel game apparatus 1 of the present invention is illustrated by the game apparatus 1 shown in Figure 1. The game device 1 mainly includes a machine body 10, a control system 2 installed inside the machine body 10, an input unit 3, and an output unit 4. The control system 2 includes a processor 21 and a first memory and a second memory connected to the processor 21. The input unit 3 includes a start button 31 mounted on the surface of the machine body 10, and a left button 32 and a right button 33 disposed on the front surface of the machine body 10 on the front surface of the machine body 10. The start button 31 is provided. A start switch 310 connected to the processor 21 is connected. The left button 32 and the right button 33 are respectively connected to a left selection switch 320 and a right selection switch 330. The left and right selection switches 320, 330 are respectively connected to the processor 21. The output unit 4 includes a display screen 40 mounted on the uppermost side of the front surface of the machine body 10, and a display controller 41 connected between the display screen 40 and the control system 2.

The operation table surface of the machine main body 10 may be configured with, for example, a coin slot, other function buttons, a coin outlet, and a retainer, depending on the design or requirements of different machines, and details are not described herein.

In this embodiment, the first memory of the control system 2 is a read-only memory (ROM) 22 carrying a plurality of program instructions for controlling the game, and the second memory is generated for the temporary game. Data random access memory (RAM) 23. In detail, the program instructions can be divided into a main game program instruction set and an interactive game program instruction set. The processor 21 sequentially reads the program instructions in the main game program instruction set to execute the game control method. When the instruction to call the interactive game program instruction set is read, the interactive game program instruction set is executed, and the detailed process will be described below. . However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and all instructions may be planned for reading and execution by the processor 21 in a single program.

Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 at the same time. The following will describe the control method of the rotary game executed by the game device 1 of the preferred embodiment. When the player performs an appropriate startup step, such as launching a game with a full amount of game currency, the processor 21 begins reading and executing the main game program instruction set, and the game begins. In this embodiment, the program provides the opportunity for the player to turn the wheel at the beginning of the game (i.e., i=p), and records the number of opportunities in the RAM 23. When the player wins the prize in the p opportunity, the game ends early. The game, otherwise the p-rotating wheel and subsequent processes are executed to end the game.

When the game starts, in step S _11, the processor 21 receives a command of rotation of the wheel, the player is pulling start instruction button 31, the start button 31 to trigger the start switch 310 is generated. At this time, the processor 21 rotates the revolver (this embodiment is an instruction to the display controller 41 to output the rotation of the output revolving screen, so that the display screen 40 displays the revolving screen), and the chance of turning the revolving wheel is reduced by one (ie, i=i-1).

When the display screen 40 is rotated still picture display wheels, while the processor 21 performs step S _12, a random combination of m × n matrix totem, followed by a combination of the totem screen display controller 41 through the screen 40 by the display output. This embodiment is exemplified by m=3 and n=5.

In step S _13, the processor 21 determines whether the combination according to the totem complete the connection. The judging principle adopted in this embodiment is to determine whether all the totems located in the same row are the same and are connected to the upper line, the middle line, or the lower line. If the wiring is present, the step S _14, if no connection occurs, the process proceeds to step S ₁₅ to decide whether to enter the interactive game mechanics. The manner in which the embodiment determines whether the interactive game mechanism can be entered is to determine whether the m×n totem combination meets a specific condition, such as a sufficient amount of ☆ totem, or for example, the first column and the nth column. Complete the connection, etc. If the interactive game mechanism is accessible, the program instruction in the main game program instruction set calls the interactive game program instruction set, and the processor 21 then executes the instruction of the interactive game program instruction set. Please refer to FIG. 4 and the following description. If the interactive game mechanism is not entered, it is judged whether the chance i of turning the wheel is zero. If it is, it indicates that the p-time opportunity has been used, and the output related to the "end game" is performed; if not, then, for example, "turn the wheel" The associated output prompts the player to turn the wheel again, and then repeats steps S ₁₁ ~ S ₁₆ .

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 simultaneously, the processor 21 starts to read and execute an interactive game program instruction set. In this embodiment, the programming interactive game initially provides the player with a chance to rotate the wheel q times (ie, j=q ), the number of opportunities is recorded in the RAM 23, and when the player wins the prize in the q chances, the game is terminated early, otherwise the game is finished after executing the q-turning wheel and the subsequent process.

In step S _21, the processor 21 so that the first and second n-th column (i.e. the leftmost and rightmost columns) had the m × n matrix is considered to be universal card without viewing the subsequent connection is determined At the same time, the display screen 40 outputs an interactive game screen; for example, as shown in FIG. 5, a monkey holding a stone appears in the leftmost and rightmost column positions of the original matrix.

In step S _22, the judge turn the wheel of interactive games of chance j is zero, it means that if q chances have been exhausted, a "game over" related to the output; if not, then be like "please turn the wheel "relevant output, the rotatable wheel prompt the player again, then receive instructions in a rotating wheel in step S _23. Since the leftmost and rightmost runners have not been considered, the processor 21 rotates the middle plurality of wheels at this time (this embodiment is an instruction to the display controller 41 to output the middle three wheels to rotate the screen, so that The display 40 displays the wheel rotation screen) and reduces the chance of turning the wheel by one (i.e., j = j - 1).

In step S _24, the processor 21 randomly generates m × (n-2), i.e. the 3 × 3 matrix totem composition, then the composition totem controller 41 through the display screen of the display screen 40 output. Since the focus of this game is on the opportunities for interaction, the situation of connections in this step is not discussed.

In step S _25, the present embodiment is a line by line processor 21 determines whether the conditions for a license, or if a two or three rows meet the conditions for a license, all proceeds to step S ₂₆ and S _27, the absence of any row of compliance In other licensing conditions, go back to step S _22. The condition of changing the card in this embodiment means that two totems are the same in one line, and the other totem is different. The totem different from the other totems is a totem of the convertible card, and the processor 21 replaces the totem with the card. The matrix position of the totem is recorded in the RAM 23 (step _S26 ). It is worth mentioning that the method for determining whether the card changing condition is met is not limited to the embodiment. For example, it is also possible to check whether a vertical column or a diagonal line meets the condition that "two totems are different from another totem". It is even judged by the entire totem combination whether a few of them are different from others, as long as the conditions for the card change can be set in advance and the totem position of the changeable card can be recorded.

When the determination in step S ₂₅ that the totem compositions meet the conditions for a license, the processor 21 starts timing. In step S _27, the processor 21 determines whether a reply to a received signal defining the time (e.g., 3 seconds), the reply signal is the input unit 32 of the left button or right button 3 is pressed touched left 33 The selection switch 320 or the right selection switch 330 is generated. If the processor 21 receives the reply signal within the limited time, the process proceeds to step _S29 for further determination; if the reply signal is not received within the limited time, the related output of "exceeding the time, please re-rotate the wheel" is performed. (Step _S28 ).

Totem combination shown in Figure 6, since only the second row and the leftmost totem other hand, in step S ₂₅ will be determined to comply with the conditions for a license, therefore its position is a record, for example, the record format (2,1 ), representing the first one on the left side of the second line. When the player sees this totem combination appear, the left totem of the second line must be seen within a limited 3 seconds to change cards, and the left button 32 is immediately pressed to allow the processor 21 to receive the left button 32 in time. The reply signal; if the player thinks that the right totem can be changed, the right button 33 should be pressed. If it is considered that the middle totem can be changed, the left button 32 and the right button 33 should be pressed simultaneously.

It is worth mentioning that, in this embodiment, the left button 32 and the right button 33 are used as sources for generating a reply signal, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and an intermediate button may be added, or the buttons may be replaced by a rocker. Or provide a touch screen that allows the player to directly select the totem that can be changed on the touch screen.

In step S _29, the processor 21 interpret the reply signal; to the player presses the left button, the processor 21 having received the signal "left" mean, therefore interpret the signal is directed to the matrix of the interchangeable cards The meaning of the totem on the left side of the column. Thus the processor 21 in step S ₂₆ that records the position of the interchangeable cards totem for comparison, if the same is representative of reply signal correctly, proceeds to step S ₃₀ and S _{31 is;} if the same reply signal represents an error, is performed "Analyzing Incorrect, please turn the relevant output of the wheel again (step _S28 ).

In step _30, S, 30 to the display controller processor 41 outputs switching command issued license screen, the display screen 40 of the display screen as 7, while the processor 31 further performs the step S _31, a higher probability to a random change brand. In the example of Figure 6, since the convertible totem is "B" and the target of the change is to change to the totem "A" to complete the connection; it is assumed that the probability of designing the totem "A" in the original game is 1/ 3. At this step, the processor 21 will increase the probability of the appearance of the totem "A" to, for example, 2/3, and then randomly select a totem for the card to change the card. Therefore, the probability of completing the connection by changing the card is greatly Upgrade.

In step _S32 , the processor 30 determines whether the line of completion of the card replacement is completed. If the connection is completed, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the related display of "complete connection" is performed and the prize is ended. game; if still unable to complete the connection, then back to step S _22.

It should be noted that, if the step S _25, the processor 21 determines a plurality of rows meet the conditions for a license, the player may optionally reply with a line, a plurality of the received reply signal 21 with a record processor card position can be changed for comparison, as long as any one of the success ratio proceeds to step S ₃₀ and S _31.

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 10, the second preferred embodiment of the present invention is the same as the game device 1 employed in the first preferred embodiment, and the difference between the two is in the game control flow. It should be noted that although the game control flow is separately described in two embodiments, the game mechanism in the middle is optional replacement or integration.

This embodiment provides only one opportunity for a license, and step S ₄₁ and step S ₄₂ of the first preferred embodiment of the S ₂₁ and S ₂₃ Similarly, the following are not repeated.

In step _S43 , the processor 21 generates an m×(n-2) matrix totem combination, and can be divided into two conditions, which are randomly determined by the program, and the first condition is that the control makes the The totem combination includes a row of totems in accordance with the card changing conditions, and subsequent steps S ₄₄ to S ₅₀ ; the second condition is that the totem combination includes a row of totems similar to the card changing conditions, but the only different totem is a trap The card is shown in Figure 11. If the player does not respond and presses the button, the game will end. The detailed execution steps are S ₅₁ ~ S ₅₃ .

Steps S ₄₄ to S _{50 will be} described below. In step _S44 , the processor 21 records the convertible totem and the matrix position of the totem in the RAM 23. In step _S45 , the processor 21 determines whether the reply signal is received within the limited time, and if so, then interprets the reply signal in step _S46 and compares the position represented by the reply signal with the recordable totem position of the record. Is it the same? If the reply signal is not received within the limited time, the relevant output such as "Exceeded time, end game" is performed.

When it is known in step _S46 that the response signal input by the player is correct, the display screen 40 displays the card changing screen (step _S47 ), and randomly exchanges cards with a higher probability (step _S48 ); conversely, when step S _{When 46} matches to know that the response signal input by the player is wrong, the relevant output of "wrong card" is performed, and then the game is ended.

After the aforementioned steps S ₄₈ for a license, the processor 21 determines whether the connection is completed (step S _50), if the connection is complete and to award the end of the game, if you were unable to complete the connection, "too bad!" Correlation output And end the game.

Steps S ₅₁ to S _{53 will be} described below. In step _S51 , the processor 21 records the position of the trap card in the RAM 23. In step _S52 , the processor 21 determines whether the reply signal is received within a predetermined time. If the reply signal is received, the player 21 does not respond and presses the button, and the processor 21 issues an output error trap screen to the display controller 41. The command causes the display screen 40 to display the screens of FIGS. 12 and 13, and then ends the game. Conversely, if in step S _52, the processor 21 is not received within a predetermined time reply signal representation of the player to see this trap card, the processor 21 performs a correlation output of the reward, and the game ends.

This embodiment is an example of ending the game early when the player does not respond correctly (for example, does not make an interactive response or make a wrong interactive response within a limited time); of course, the game can also be designed to ask the player to re-rotate the wheel until the opportunity is used. exhausted.

In summary, the present invention adds an interactive mechanism for testing the player's reaction ability in the game control process, so that the player can enjoy the fun of the existing revolving game, and further increase the excitement and richness of the game, so it is possible to achieve this. The purpose of the invention.
