【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 2 is an external perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1 is an enlarged perspective view of an essential part of FIG. 2. In the figure, a quiz game machine 1 is provided in a game table 2 and game control calculation means ( (Not shown), a video monitor 3 is arranged above the game table 2, and, for example, three sets of operation panels 4a, 4b, 4c are arranged in front of the video monitor 3, for example. For example, three players can play at the same time.

The game control calculation means causes the video monitor 3 to display a multiple-choice question that prepares, for example, four choices of answers for one question, on the video monitor 3 in sequence so that the game proceeds. In addition, the speaker (not shown) outputs at least only the problematic part by voice.

Each of the operation panels 4a to 4c has one start button 5 for starting a quiz game, and numbers corresponding to, for example, four options of a multiple-choice question, for example, numbers 1 to 4 respectively. Four answer selection buttons 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, which are sequentially marked, and one quick push button 7, which is larger than the push buttons 5, 6a to 6d, are provided respectively.

Each start button 5 is a switch for starting the game when the play coin is inserted into an insertion slot (not shown) and then pushed down. For example, a blinking lamp is built in the transparent push button switch body. When a credit is added during one-player or two-player play, one of the vacant operation panels 4a to 4c blinks to show the vacant operation panel 4a to 4c. ing.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, each of the quick-press buttons 7 has a tip end portion of the plunger 7b of the micro switch 7a projected a little above the upper surface through hole of each operation panel 4a to 4c, and the protruding tip end portion thereof. The outer side of is covered with a comparatively large hemispherical rubber 7c, and it can be turned on by pushing in from any direction as shown by the small arrow in the figure and can withstand a strong pushing force. It is like this.

Each quick-press button 7 sequentially gives the answer right to the multiple-choice question in the order of the quick-press, and only the answer of the player who has the answer right is validated, and the correctness of the answer is correct in the game. The answer by the player who does not have the answer right is invalidated by the control calculation means. However, when the answer of the player who has the answer right is an incorrect answer, the player who presses the quick-press button 7 next next can obtain the answer right, and the answer right is sequentially transferred in the same manner. Answers are sequentially activated.

On the other hand, the answer selection buttons 6a to 6d of each set are configured to light up or blink only when the answer right is obtained by the quick push button 7, and have the same number as the option of the multiple choice question. One option is selected by selecting and pressing one of the answer selection buttons 6a to 6d, and if two or more answer selection buttons 6a to 6d are pressed at the same time, an error will occur. It is determined to be an answer or an error, and the right of answer is transferred to one of the operation panels 4a to 4c (player) in the next quick pressing order.

Then, the game control calculation means determines the quick pressing order of the quick pressing switches 7 to order the answering right, and sequentially lights or blinks the operation panels 4a to 4c according to the order of the answer selecting right. , A means for setting the rules of the game while displaying the existence of the right to answer and setting the game as follows, for example.

Game Settings This quiz game is a fast-paced competitive quiz game in which three players (including a computer) compete, and in the case of one player, the computer (the character on the display screen) is the opponent. . In the case of two-player play, one computer (same character) will be the opponent, and in the case of three-player play, it will be set as a battle between the players.

In addition, the winner takes the form of winning for one week, for example, and challenges in the second week, and if the second and third places, the game is over. At this time, it is possible to continue (continue), but in the form of a challenge in the first week, even champions who have won several weeks will continue in the first week. After winning five weeks, he becomes the grand champion and makes a name entry.

Rules of the game For the number of questions in the multiple-choice question, for example, 15 questions are prepared for each play. For example, this is divided into 3 stages, and each of the 5 questions in the first stage is 1 point. Each of the 5 questions in the stage is assigned to 2 points, and the 5 questions in the final stage are assigned to 3 points each. In case of care, the score becomes negative, the right to answer the question is lost, and You also lose the right to answer the question. However, if all three players make an incorrect answer, the following three questions can be attended together. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the progress of such a game. First, in S1, the demo mode of the quiz game is started, and a predetermined demo screen is displayed on the video monitor 3 to invite participation in the quiz game. This continues until the player inserts a coin into the slot at the next S2.

In the next S3, for example, a title screen such as a quick-press quiz title battle is displayed, and this title screen display continues until one of the start buttons 5 is pressed in S4, and by S5 to S7, Screens that are recruiting participants, that is, screens that invite players to participate in the game, screens in which the participants (characters) designated by each player appear in TV studios, literature, history, sports, etc. A screen for selecting the genre of the multiple-choice question is sequentially displayed on the video monitor 3.

Thereafter, in S8, the game screen is displayed on the video monitor 3, the multiple-choice question of the genre selected in S7 is displayed, and the quiz game mode is started. At this time, at least the problematic part is also output as sound from the speaker.

In this game mode, a screen for displaying the results of each player (or character) is displayed in S9 in accordance with the above-mentioned game rules, and these screen displays are continued until the winning player appears, for example, 5 If a player who has won the week appears, the name of the winner is displayed in S12, and if the computer (character) wins, the game is over.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, in the quiz game machine of the multiple choice type question in which only one option can be selected for one question, the quick-press button 7 which gives the answer right in the order of quick-press is provided. Therefore, even if multiple players select multiple options almost at the same time, only the answer right of the player who has the answer right is validated, and the other one is invalidated. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of multiple play.

For this reason, a plurality of players compete with each other for the score given to the correct answer, which can further enhance the fun of the quiz game, and the agility and the motility to push the quick-press button 7 too quickly. You can enjoy the exciting development of the game because it is required.

Also, since multi-play is possible and the game becomes more interesting, the profitability per quiz game machine can be increased.

Further, at least the problematic part of the multiple-choice problem is displayed on the video monitor 3 and is also output as sound from a speaker to be provided to the player in duplicate, so that the player can recognize the problem, or The degree of understanding can be deepened.

[0036]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the first invention of the present application is provided with the quick-press switch for sequentially activating the answers to the multiple-choice questions in the order of quick-press, so that it is assumed that a plurality of players can play a plurality of questions for one question.
