BACKGROUND

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a game method using a game machine, and more particularly, to a game method using a ticket output game machine in which a ball of a ball throwing portion moving along a rail portion to obtain a score is to be dropped and inserted into a ball insertion hole or a bonus hole device corresponding to a light emitting diode (LED) emitting light on a game plate so as to obtain a ticket number corresponding to the score.

2. Discussion of Related Art

Generally, through a game vending machine, a prize or tickets which are designated according to an outcome of a game is obtained so that a sense of accomplishment is obtained even more in an aspect of enjoying the game.

Here, in the game vending machine, an outcome of a game is determined according to a manipulation ability of a user so that the user who is enjoying the game feels a sense of accomplishment as well as obtaining a prize or tickets.

Patent Document 1 relates to a conventional falling object goal game machine. Referring thereto, the machine includes a case including a transparent window, a manipulating handle having one end exposed in front of the case and the other end located inside the case and horizontally moved forward, backward, leftward, or rightward, a goal rim installed at an end of the manipulating handle, located in the case, and horizontally moved by the manipulating handle so as to pass a ball and sense whether the ball passes, and a display portion installed on an inner wall surface of the case and configured to display the number of balls passing through the goal rim or a score.

Here, a function input button configured to rotate a prize holder connected a motor installed on the inner wall surface of the case by rotationally driving the motor is further formed on a front surface of the case.

Here, the function input button may selectively control rotational driving of the motor and the prize holder.

That is, when a coin is inserted into the case, a plurality of balls provided in a ball collection hopper fly in the air as an air blower is turned on and operates so that the balls are located at an upper part of the case.

Subsequently, when the air blower is turned off and stops, the plurality of balls flying in the air are dropped downward toward the ball collection hopper. Here, the goal rim is horizontally moved leftward, rightward, forward, or backward while the manipulating handle is gripped so as to allow the ball dropped to the goal rim to pass therethrough.

Then, a score and the number of balls passing through the goal rim are displayed on the display portion to be proportional to the number of balls passing therethrough. Subsequently, when the ball is dropped to the ball collection hopper, the air blower is turned on/off as described above so as to allow the ball to be dropped from the air.

Also, when a determined score is obtained by allowing the ball to pass through the goal rim while flying in the air and being dropped, a prize corresponding to the score is selected by the function input button to obtain the prize held by the prize holder.

However, in Patent Document 1, physical strength is exhausted by repetitively performing an operation of passing the ball through the goal rim while horizontally moving the goal rim forward, backward, leftward, or rightward with the manipulating handle being gripped. Due to the exhaustion of physical strength, the old and the infirm or children have difficulty in playing a game. Also, when the operation of passing the ball through the goal rim is repetitively performed, the game becomes boring. Since the game is a simple game of shooting the ball upward and passing the dropped ball, it is impossible to set a level of difficulty of the game. Particularly, as a person becomes skilled in the game operation of passing the ball through the goal rim, the level of difficulty of the game is rapidly degraded, and thus fun and interest are reduced and reliability of the product is degraded.

The body100includes a drop button103formed in the front surface thereof and connected to the ball throwing portion200to allow the ball B to be dropped from the ball throwing portion200.

The drop button103transmits a signal to the ball throwing portion200to stop a driving wheel201aof the ball throwing portion200as well as releasing a support bar201bsupporting the ball B so that the ball B is dropped in a housing201of the ball throwing portion200or to release the support bar201bwhile the ball throwing portion200is moved on a rail portion300so that the ball B is dropped in the housing201of the ball throwing portion200.

The body100includes a ticket output portion107formed on one side of the coin slot101and configured to output a ticket number corresponding to a game score calculated by the ball being inserted into the ball insertion hole102a, the bonus hole device104, or the ball discharge hole102c.

The ticket output portion107calculates a sum of numbers of output tickets when the tickets are output more than a determined number of times and controls an angle of the bonus hole device104to be adjusted when the sum of numbers of output tickets exceeds a determined number of output times.

The ticket output portion107restricts a game progress of inserting a coin into the coin slot101and dropping the ball B onto the game plate102using the ball throwing portion200to one time. Here, when exceeding a number of times (for example, ten output times) determined by a user, numbers of output tickets are added. When a number of output tickets exceeds a determined ticket number, an angle of the bonus hole device104is adjusted by operating a motor104cof the bonus hole device104.

The body100includes a ball supply hole100aformed in an inner wall surface thereof and configured to supply the ball B to the ball throwing portion200which has moved backward.

The ball supply hole100asupplies the ball B to the ball throwing portion200when the ball throwing portion200which drops the ball B onto the game plate102is moved backward behind the rail portion300.

The body100further includes an upright transfer rail109installed in a rear interior to be upright and configured to move the ball B upward and supply the ball B to the ball supply hole100a.

The upright transfer rail109supports and lifts the ball B inserted into the ball discharge hole102cof the game plate102and then moved to the upright transfer rail109.

The ball throwing portion200is installed on an inner top end of the body100and accommodates the ball B therein and is horizontally moved back and forth to drop the ball B accommodated therein onto the game plate102to be inserted into the bonus hole device104or the ball insertion hole102aof the body100.

The ball throwing portion200is repetitively moved back and forth along the rail portion300above the game plate102.

The ball throwing portion200receives a signal of a front sensor301and moves backward behind the rail portion300when reaching a front end of the rail portion300and receives a signal of a rear sensor302and moves forward in front of the rail portion300when reaching a rear end of the rail portion300.

The ball throwing portion200drops the ball B onto the game plate102of the body100and then is moved to be located at the rear end of the rail portion300to receive the ball B from the ball supply hole100aof the body100.

The ball throwing portion200includes the housing201having a hollow shape with an open bottom, formed on one surface thereof and including a through hole201ccommunicating with the ball supply hole100a, the driving wheel201arotatably installed on a top end of the housing201and moved along the rail portion300to move the housing201back and forth, and the support bar201binstalled in the housing201to be horizontally movable to support the ball B supplied to the inside of the housing201.

The housing201receives and accommodates the ball B therein.

The housing201is moved, by the driving wheel201a, to a determined position on the game plate102.

The driving wheel201ais operated when a coin is inserted into the coin slot101and receives a signal of the drop button103to be stopped or continuously operated so as to move the housing201back and forth.

The driving wheel201ais stopped or continuously operated by manipulating the drop button103according to a setting value of the user.

The driving wheel201amay be connected to a driving motor (without reference numeral) installed on a top surface of the housing201and may be rotationally operated by the driving motor.

The support bar201bsupports the ball B accommodated in the housing201and is slidably moved by the drop button103to be released so that the ball B is dropped onto the game plate102.

The support bar201bmay be horizontally operated by a solenoid valve.

The rail portion300includes the front and rear sensors301and302longitudinally installed on the inner top end of the body100and configured to guide the ball throwing portion200to be slidably moved back and forth, to sense the ball throwing portion200at front and rear ends thereof, and to restrict movement of the ball throwing portion200more than a determined distance to the front end and rear end.

The rail portion300guides horizontal movement of the ball throwing portion200so that the ball throwing portion200moves back and forth above the game plate102.

The front sensor301recognizes that the ball throwing portion200reaches the front end of the rail portion300, outputs a signal to the ball throwing portion200, and controls the ball throwing portion200to move backward behind the rail portion300.

The rear sensor302recognizes that the ball throwing portion200reaches the rear end of the rail portion300, outputs a signal to the ball throwing portion200, and controls the ball throwing portion200to move forward in front of the rail portion300.

The rear sensor302stops operating when the ball B is thrown by the ball throwing portion200so as to allow the ball throwing portion200to be located at the rear end of the rail portion300.

A game method using the ticket output game machine configured as described above according to the present invention will be described as follows.

First, a coin is inserted into the coin slot101formed in the front surface of the body100to allow the ball B to be inserted into the ball throwing portion200so that the ball throwing portion200is horizontally moved along the rail portion300installed in the body100while gripping the ball B (S100).

Here, while being located at the rear end of the rail portion300, the ball throwing portion200presses the housing201to the ball supply hole100aof the body100to allow the through hole201cof the housing201to communicate with the ball supply hole100aand to supply the ball B toward the through hole201cthrough the ball supply hole100aso that the ball B is accommodated in the housing201.

Here, the ball supply hole100apasses the ball B moved upward by the upright transfer rail109therethrough toward the housing201of the ball throwing portion200.

Also, the ball accommodated in the housing201is supported by the support bar201bto maintain a state of being accommodated in the housing201.

Subsequently, the driving wheel201ainstalled at the top end of the housing201moves the housing201back and forth on the rail portion300while moving along the rail portion300so that the ball B gripped by the ball throwing portion200is moved back and forth above the game plate102.

Subsequently, the plurality of LEDs102bformed on the game plate102of the body100emit light in different colors on the periphery of the ball insertion hole102a(S200).

Here, among the LEDs102b, the first LEDs102b-1formed on the periphery of the fixed score insertion hole102a-1of the ball insertion hole102aemit light in different fixed colors, and the second LEDs102b-2formed on the periphery of the random score insertion hole102a-2sequentially emit light in a plurality of colors.

That is, the first LEDs102b-1are installed on the periphery of the fixed score insertion hole102a-1to be proportional to the number of fixed score insertion holes102a-1and emit light of different fixed colors to correspond to the respective fixed score insertion holes102a-1so as to allow the user to see a score of each of the fixed score insertion holes102awith the naked eye.

Also, the second LEDs102b-2are installed on the periphery of the random score insertion hole102a-2to be proportional to the number of the random score insertion holes102a-2and colors thereof sequentially vary to correspond to the colors of the plurality of first LEDs102b-1so as to allow the user to see a score according to a time difference of the random score insertion hole102a-2with the naked eye.

Subsequently, when the ball throwing portion200moves along the rail portion300and reaches the front end or rear end of the rail portion300, the ball throwing portion200is sensed by the front or rear sensor301and302installed on the front end or rear end of the rail portion300. Here, a signal is output to the ball throwing portion200so as to move the ball throwing portion200backward from the front end of the rail portion300or forward from the rear end of the rail portion300(S300).

Then, it is possible to prevent the ball throwing portion200from being moved more than a determined distance from the front end or rear end of the rail portion300and deviating from the front end or rear end of the rail portion300.

Here, the ball throwing portion200is sensed continuously by the front or rear sensor301or302and repetitively moved toward front or rear end of the rail portion300.

Also, when the drop button103of the body100is pushed while the ball throwing portion200is moved back and forth on the rail portion300, a signal for manipulating the drop button103is transmitted to the ball throwing portion200and the ball B gripped by the ball throwing portion200is dropped onto the game plate102(S400).

Here, rotation of the driving wheel201aof the ball throwing portion200is stopped by pushing the drop button103so that the housing201of the ball throwing portion200is located at a determined position above the game plate102. Here, the support bar201bslides and releases support of the ball B so that the ball B is dropped onto the game plate102through a bottom end of the housing201.

Here, the ball throwing portion200may receive a signal of the drop button103according to a setting value of the user, control the driving wheel201ato continuously move along the rail portion300, and slidably move the support bar201bso that the ball B may be dropped onto the bottom end of the housing201while the ball throwing portion200moves along the rail portion300.

Subsequently, when the ball B is dropped in the housing201, the support bar201bis restored to an original state and the driving wheel201ais rotationally operated so as to move the housing201to the rear end of the rail portion300.

Here, the rear sensor302of the rail portion300stops operating and allows the ball throwing portion200to move backward.

Then, the through hole201cof the housing201maintains a state of being located so as to communicate with the ball supply hole100aof the body100.

Subsequently, a score is displayed on the general score plate105or the bonus score plate106of the body100by analyzing a color signal of the LED102bcorresponding to the ball insertion hole102ainto which the ball B dropped from the housing201is inserted, a signal of the bonus hole device104, or a signal of the ball discharge hole102c(S500).

That is, when the ball B is inserted into the fixed score insertion hole102a-1among the ball insertion holes102a, a score corresponding to the fixed score insertion hole102a-1is output to the general score plate105of the body100.

Here, the first LED102b-1emitting fixed-color light among the LEDs102bis installed on the periphery of the fixed score insertion hole102a-1and the score of the fixed score insertion hole102a-1is determined to correspond to the color of the first LED102b-1so that a deviation occurs in scores output on the general score plate105according to the fixed score insertion hole102a-1into which the ball B is inserted among the plurality of fixed score insertion holes102a-1.

For example, when the ball B is inserted into the fixed score insertion hole102a-1corresponding to the first LED102b-1emitting red light among the first LEDs102b-1, one hundred points are output to the general score plate105. Also, when the ball B is inserted into the fixed score insertion hole102a-1corresponding to the first LED102b-1emitting blue light, fifty points are output to the general score plate105. Accordingly, a deviation in scores is caused.

Also, when the ball B is inserted into the random score insertion hole102a-2among the ball insertion holes102a, a score of the random score insertion hole102a-2which varies when the ball B is inserted into the random score insertion hole102a-2is output to the general score plate105.

That is, the score of the random score insertion hole102a-2continuously varies to allow the second LED102b-2installed on the periphery of the random score insertion hole102a-2to correspond to color of emitted light. Here, the score varies according to a time when the ball is inserted into the random score insertion hole102a-2to correspond to the second LED102b-2so that a deviation occurs in scores output to the general score plate105.

For example, when the ball B is inserted into the random score insertion hole102a-2at a time when the second LED102b-2emits red light, the random score insertion hole102a-2outputs one hundred points to the general score plate105. When the ball B is inserted into the random score insertion hole102a-2at a time when the second LED102b-2emits light changed to blue, the random score insertion hole102a-2outputs fifty points to the general score plate105. Accordingly, a deviation in scores is caused.

Here, the ball B inserted into the fixed score insertion hole102a-1or the random score insertion hole102a-2is sensed by the sensor and a score corresponding to the first LED102b-1of the fixed score insertion hole102a-1or the second LED102b-2of the random score insertion hole102a-2is output to the general score plate105.

Meanwhile, when the ball B dropped from the ball throwing portion200is inserted into the bonus hole device104, the bonus hole device104outputs a score to the bonus score plate106so that a bonus score is seen through the bonus score plate106.

Also, when the ball B is dropped onto the game plate102, the ball B is guided to the game plate102, moved toward the ball discharge hole102c, and discharged to the game plate102through the ball discharge hole102cso that a score relatively lower than a score of being inserted into the ball insertion hole102ais output to the general score plate105.

Here, a score output to the general score plate105when the ball is inserted into the bonus hole device104may be formed to be relatively higher, by three to five times, than a greatest score of the plurality of ball insertion holes102a. A score output to the general score plate105when the ball is inserted into the ball discharge hole102cmay be formed to be relatively lower than a lowest score of the plurality of ball insertion holes102a.

Subsequently, a number of tickets corresponding to a score output to the general score plate105or the bonus score plate106is calculated and tickets are output through the ticket output portion107formed in the body100(S600).

Here, a time when a game is performed by inserting a coin through the coin slot101and tickets are output through the ticket output portion107is defined as one time. The numbers of output tickets output through the ticket output portion107are added when a number of output tickets exceeds a determined number of times and when the number of output tickets is relatively higher than a determined number of tickets, an angle of the bonus hole device104is automatically adjusted.

That is, the number of output tickets from the ticket output portion107and the number of tickets are calculated at the same time and the motor104cof the bonus hole device104is rotationally driven, and a connection rod104aand a rotational rod104bwhich are connected to the motor104care rotated at the same time. Here, the connection rod104arotates the bonus hole device104so as to adjust the angle of the bonus hole device104.

Here, the angle of the bonus hole device104is changed so that the bonus hole device104faces the front or rear of the body100on the basis of a vertical line at a center thereof.

Also, at the moment that an end of the rotational rod104breaches a top end sensor104d, an intermediate end sensor104e, or a bottom end sensor104f, any one of the top end sensor104d, the intermediate end sensor104e, or the bottom end sensor104foutputs a signal to the motor104cso that operating of the motor104cis stopped. Accordingly, rotation of the connection rod104ais stopped so that the bonus hole device104is fixed at a determined angle.

In the above structure, while the ball throwing portion200gripping the ball B is moved along the rail portion300, the ball B is dropped onto the game plate102using the drop button103so as to be inserted into the ball insertion hole102aor the bonus hole device104, and since a game may be performed by simply manipulating the drop button103while the ball throwing portion200moves along the rail portion300, it is unnecessary to exhaust physical strength and everyone regardless of age or gender may easily perform a game by manipulating the drop button103. An insertion probability that the ball B is inserted into the ball insertion hole102aor the bonus hole device104is changed by dropping the ball B downward while a movement speed of the ball throwing portion200moving along the rail portion300and a ball drop position are analyzed. Due to a change in the insertion probability of the ball B according to the above strategy, interest in playing the game is generated and at the same time, a strategy is required. Also, when the ball is inserted into the bonus hole device104or the plurality of ball insertion holes102corresponding to the LEDs102bemitting different-color light, different scores are obtained so as to generate interest in the game.

According to the present invention, since it is possible to perform a game by simply manipulating a drop button while a ball throwing portion moves along a rail portion, exhaustion of physical strength is unnecessary. Also, since the game is performed by manipulating the drop button, everyone regardless of age or gender may easily perform the game. The ball is dropped downward while a movement speed of the ball throwing portion moving along the rail portion and a drop position of the ball are analyzed so that an insertion probability that the ball is inserted into a ball insertion hole or a bonus hole device varies.
