JP 2009-5852 A

  In the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 described above, when a roulette start operation is performed by a user, a roulette wheel on which a number is drawn rotates and a winning number determined by lottery is displayed.

  On the other hand, when trying to realize a roulette game in a casino game (rotating the roulette wheel and throwing a small ball and betting on what eye the ball will stop when it stops) In addition, the physical calculation of the movement path of the sphere must be performed each time, which increases the load on the terminal.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a roulette game program in which a calculation load on a terminal is reduced in a virtual space.

According to the present invention, a layer setting means for setting a virtual partition layer, a roulette wheel layer, a sphere layer,
On the virtual partition layer, partition placement means for placing a predetermined number of virtual partitions in a circle,
On the roulette wheel layer, a roulette wheel display means for displaying a roulette wheel having a predetermined number of numeric parts located on the predetermined number of sections so as to be rotatable by a predetermined angle;
On the sphere layer, a sphere video display means for displaying a video that moves along a predetermined course so as to stop on one stop zone among the virtual zones,
In the roulette game program that makes the terminal function as
By start operation from the user,
A number lottery step for drawing one winning number from the numbers displayed in the predetermined number portion;
A roulette wheel placement step for placing the roulette wheel at an initial position so that the winning number of the roulette wheel stops on the stop section when the roulette wheel rotates by the predetermined angle;
A roulette game program for causing the terminal to execute a roulette control method including rotating the roulette wheel disposed at the initial position from the initial position and reproducing the moving image is obtained.

  According to the present invention, since the initial position of the roulette wheel is determined so that the winning number comes to the section where the ball that moves according to the predetermined course stops, the physical calculation of the course of the ball becomes unnecessary. . Further, by preparing a plurality of ball courses and selecting them at random, it is possible to perform natural effects similar to those of an actual casino roulette.

  The roulette game realized by the roulette game program according to the embodiment of the present invention is a roulette game in a casino game or the like (rotating the roulette wheel, throwing a small ball, and betting which eye the ball will stop when stopped. Is virtually realized).

  Referring to FIG. 1, the roulette game program according to the present embodiment is executed on user terminal 10, and the program is provided from game server 20, for example. The user terminal 10 and the game server 20 can communicate with each other via the Internet 30. The user terminal 10 may be any device that can display a game image generated by the game server 20 and / or the user terminal 10 using an application such as a browser. For example, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a game console, a notebook PC, a desktop PC Etc., but is not limited to these.

  As illustrated, the user terminal 10 includes a terminal display unit 11, a terminal input unit 12, a terminal processing unit 13, a terminal communication unit 14, a terminal storage unit 15, and the like, which are electrically connected to each other via a bus. Connected. The terminal display unit 11 displays the game image received by the terminal communication unit 14 from the game server 20 and temporarily stored in the terminal storage unit 15 on the screen of the terminal. The terminal display unit 11 can be realized by, for example, a liquid crystal display (LCD) or the like. In the present embodiment, the terminal display unit 11 is particularly preferably configured as a multi-touch screen. The terminal input unit 12 performs commands for controlling the operation of a virtual camera arranged in the three-dimensional virtual space, and user actions (coin betting operations (described later), etc.) for various objects arranged in the three-dimensional virtual space. Enter the command to do. The input means can be character input using a keyboard or virtual keyboard, mouse click, touch input with a finger at a position on the touch screen, input using a stylus, or a combination thereof, but is not limited thereto.

  Based on the input command received by the terminal input unit 12, the terminal processing unit 13 creates a user command and communicates with the game server 20 through the terminal communication unit 14 and the network 40. The terminal storage unit 15 stores various data associated with the user terminal and applications such as a browser necessary for displaying image data, and also temporarily stores various data such as image data received from the game server 20. The terminal processing unit 13 may also be configured to execute the game program module stored in the terminal storage unit 15 on the terminal side based on various data received by download from the game server 20.

  On the other hand, the game server 20 includes a processing unit 51, a main memory 52, an external memory 53, an interface 54, a communication unit 55, a disk drive 56, and the like, which are electrically connected to each other via a bus.

  In addition, you may comprise so that the user terminal 10 may bear all or one part of various functions as an information processing apparatus regarding the said game server 20. FIG. In this case, the user terminal 10 may constitute a single information processing device, or the user terminal 10 and the game server 20 may constitute the information processing device.

  Hereinafter, the roulette control in the roulette game program according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. The roulette game program sets at least three layers of a virtual section layer, a roulette board layer, and a sphere layer in a virtual space displayed on the terminal screen or the like. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the virtual section layer, the roulette wheel layer, and the sphere layer are set so as to overlap from the bottom.

  On the virtual partition layer, 36 virtual partitions # 1 to # 36 are arranged in a circle. The virtual section is like a “lot number” fixed in the game screen and represents an absolute position. That is, it does not rotate like a roulette wheel described later, and the sections # 1 and # 36 are always positioned on the game screen. The virtual section is not displayed on the game screen. The virtual section according to the present embodiment is composed of a virtual stop portion located inside in the radial direction and a number portion located outside.

  On the roulette wheel layer, a circular roulette wheel imitating a so-called general roulette wheel surface is arranged. The roulette wheel has an annular stop and an annular numeral located adjacent to the outside. The number part has a section in which numbers 1 to 36 are described, and corresponds to the stop part on a one-to-one basis. In other words, it can also be understood that the unit sections composed of one section of the number portion and one section of the stop portion are arranged in a ring shape. Note that the number of unit sections and the number of virtual sections are the same, and when the roulette board is stopped, the unit sections coincide with each other on the virtual section (the control of rotation and stop of the roulette board will be described later). That is, when the roulette wheel is stopped, the number part and the stop part of the roulette wheel layer are positioned on the virtual number part and the virtual stop part of the virtual partition layer.

  On the sphere layer, the sphere object moves (rolls) along a preset sphere course. The ball course is determined in advance by imitating the actual roulette ball movement. In other words, it is thrown from the initial position, circles the number part while drawing a circle, gradually decreases the circle radius toward the stop part, and moves along a course that stops on a predetermined virtual section. .

  Next, control of the roulette game according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. When the user performs a roulette game start operation, as shown in FIG. 3, one number is randomly drawn from the numbers (1 to 36) displayed in the number part (step S101) and the winning number is determined (step S102). ).

  Subsequently, a ball course lottery is performed (step S103). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the ball course in the present embodiment is preset with three positions: a loading position, a course, and a stop section. The throwing position determines the initial position when the ball object is thrown into the roulette wheel. The course is a course in which the thrown ball object moves (rolls) on the roulette wheel. The stop section designates a virtual stop portion where the ball object moved along the course finally stops. In the figure, the movement of the sphere starts from the insertion position at the lower left of the figure, and stops at the virtual section # 12 while decelerating. In the present embodiment, in addition to the ball course shown in FIG. 4, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of types of moving images having different insertion positions, courses, and stop sections are prepared. By preparing a plurality of types of ball courses in this way, a more natural roulette game can be produced. In step S103 in FIG. 3, one ball course is determined from the plurality of types of ball courses. Accordingly, the stop position (virtual section) of the sphere object is determined (step S104).

  Subsequently, the roulette wheel is placed at the initial position (step S105). Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the roulette wheel according to the present embodiment is preliminarily set to stop after rotating 840 degrees from the initial position (that is, “2 + 1/3” rotation). It has been established. That is, as shown in FIG. 6A, for example, the numeral part “3” located in the virtual section # 1 in the initial position is shown in FIG. 6B after the roulette wheel rotates 840 degrees. As shown, it will be located in virtual partition # 12. Thus, in this embodiment, since the rotation angle of the roulette wheel is determined in advance, in order to stop a specific number in the numerical part of the roulette wheel in a specific virtual section, the rotation angle is taken into consideration. The initial position can be determined. Note that the rotation angle can be changed as appropriate depending on the purpose of the game program, the intention of the production, and the like. If the ball course (stop section # 12) of FIG. 4 is selected, the roulette wheel may be arranged so that the number part of the winning number determined by lottery stops at the virtual section # 12.

  When the above steps are completed, the roulette start control, that is, the rotation of the roulette wheel and the movement of the ball are started (step S106). After the ball object stops (stops at the stop portion of the roulette wheel), the winning number is displayed to the player (S107).

  The above-described embodiments are merely examples for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention can be changed and improved without departing from the gist thereof, and it is needless to say that the present invention includes equivalents thereof.
