Game machine

Abstract

A game executer is operable to sequentially execute a plurality of racing games in which a plurality of racing members compete to each other. An instruction receiver is adapted to receive, from a player, a first instruction for causing a personal racing member prepared by the player to participate at least one of the racing games as one of the racing members, while being associated with a player identifier identifying the player. A processor is operable to increase a winning probability for the racing games of the personal racing member when it is executed, as one of the racing games, a first racing game in which the personal racing member satisfying a prescribed requirement participates. A prohibiter is operable to prohibit the personal racing member having participated the first racing game from participating the racing games executed subsequently to the first racing game.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a game machine for executing a racing game where a plurality of racing objects race with one another.BACKGROUND ART[0002]As this type of game machine, for example, a horseracing game machine for executing a horserace (racing game) where a plurality of racehorse characters (race objects) race one another is well known (for example disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2002-95870A).[0003]In the horseracing game machine disclosed in this publication, a racehorse character (specific racing object) related to a horse owned by a player can run in the horserace. With a racehorse character related to a horse owned by a player, which satisfies a condition (prescribed condition) that the horse won at least three times in GI races prepared in the racing game machine or the number of acquired medals (acquired total prizes) exceeds 2000, when the player performs a retirement operation (prescribed condition), the racehorse character can...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0015]The racing game may further comprise a rank determinant, operable to perform random number selection to determine a rank of each of the racing members in each of the racing games. In this case, each of the racing member is associated with winning probability data indicative of the winning probability for the racing games thereof. The rank determinant is operable to perform the random number selection with reference to the winning probability data. The processor is operable to modify the winning probability data so as to increase the winning probability when the personal racing member satisfies the prescribed requirement.

[0017]The game machine may further comprise a storage, operable to store performance information indicative of a racing performance of the personal racing member while associating the performance information with the player identifier. In this case, the game executer is operable to execute the racing games with reference to the performance information. The processor is operable to modify the performance data so as to enhance the racing performance when the personal racing member satisfies the prescribed requirement.

[0020]The change of the capability information corresponds to an operation for allowing the player to virtually train the private racing object, The player particularly wants the private racing object trained by the player to win in the last racing game in which the private racing object can participate. According to the present game machine, it is possible to increase a probability that the private racing object wins the last racing game in which the player wants the private racing object to win.

[0022]With this configuration, it is determined whether a probability that the private racing object wins in the last racing game increases or not, according to the win-loss result of the racing game in which the private racing object participated in the past. Accordingly, it is possible to obtain an advantage that the probability that only a private racing object restricted by the win-loss result of the past racing game wins in the last racing game increases and to increase a game enjoyableness.

[0028]increasing a winning probability for the racing games of the personal racing member temporarily, when it is executed, as one of the racing games, a first racing game in which the personal racing member satisfying a prescribed requirement participates; and

Problems solved by technology

Accordingly, in the conventional horseracing game machine, the player's wish is not reflected to the result of the retirement race and thus there is a problem that the game enjoyableness is low.

Accordingly, even in this horseracing game machine, the above problem occurs.

In addition to the horseracing game machine, even in a game machine which repetitively executes a racing game where a plurality of racing objects race with one another, allows a specific racing object to participate in a plurality of racing games, and prohibits a specific racing object satisfying a prescribed condition from participating in a racing game after a racing game in which the specific racing object participates, the same problems may occur.
