Specifically, the dice lottery unit 40 receives second game start information from the control unit 70. When the signal is received, the dice drawing game begins.

[0067] Here, the dice lottery game is a physical lottery played via two dice 46 The dice 46 used in the dice lottery game has a lottery face with the lottery contents displayed. Specifically, the dice 46 is an example of a lottery medium having a shape as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the six lottery surfaces 46S and the curved surfaces 46C provided around each of the six lottery surfaces 46S are Each of the six drawing surfaces 46S is a flat surface or a curved surface 46S having a curvature as described later. Each of the six drawing surfaces 46S has a different The number of digits that will be drawn is printed on each of the lottery faces 46S. The six curved surfaces 46C shown in FIG. These are interconnected and uniformly distributed over the surface of a sphere. The curved surface 46C having the curved surface 46C extends the rolling time of the dice 46 on the rotating disk 43 described later. It is possible.

[0068] In the above description, the dice 46 has six lottery faces 46S connected to each other and a single lottery face 46S. The six curved surfaces 46C are uniformly distributed on the surface of the sphere. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The six curved surfaces 46C of the die 46 are not connected to each other. The dice 46 may be arranged in a circle or may not be uniformly distributed on the surface of a single sphere. The lottery surface 46S may be only one, or a number other than six may be multiple. In addition, the lottery contents shown on the lottery surface 46S may include other than the results, such as numerical values, figures, etc. It may be a pattern, alphabet, etc.

[0069] As shown in FIG. 8, the dice lottery unit 40 includes a lottery configuration 401 related to the dice lottery. , and an identification configuration 402 related to identification of the dice lottery result. As shown in FIG. 8, a first base portion 41 and a base portion 42 rotatably supported by the first base portion 41 A rotating disk 43 on which the dice 46 are placed, and the rotating disk 43 is rotated to rotate the rotating disk A rotary drive unit configured to roll the dice 46 placed on the rotary disk 43 on the rotary disk 43. 44, a guide portion 45 provided around the rotating disk 43, and a The dice 46 are prevented from jumping out of the guide portion 45 due to the rotation of the turntable 43. The identification structure 402 is provided on the second base portion 4 as shown in FIG. 2, a lighting unit 48 supported by the second base portion 42, and a lighting unit 48 supported by the second base portion 42. and a dice recognition unit 49 held by the player.

[0070] (Turntable 43) The rotating disk 43 supports two dice 46 and receives a rotational force from the rotary drive unit 44. In other words, each of the two dice 46 is The friction between the rotating disk 43 and the rotating disk 43 allows the disk to roll on the rotating disk 43. The entire rolling plate 43 has an inverted truncated cone shape as shown in FIG. The expression "a surface having a spherical side surface" includes a surface having a spherical side surface. The same applies to the following explanation.

[0071] The structure of the rotating disk 43 will be described in more detail. The rotating disk 43 is shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. As shown in the figure, the first surface on which the two dice 46 can roll and stop after the rotating disk 43 stops rotating is The first surface portion 431 and the second surface portion 432 .

[0072] When the rotating disk 43 is viewed from above, as shown in FIG. 11, the first surface portion 431 has an annular shape. The second surface portion 432 is a circular portion located on the inner periphery side of the first surface portion 431. The first surface portion 431 has an inverted truncated cone shape. The second surface portion 432 has a It has an inverted truncated cone shape with no opening in the center.

[0073] In this way, the inverted truncated cone-shaped first surface portion 431 and the inverted truncated cone-shaped second surface portion 432 According to the above, the dice 46 are pushed to the outer periphery of the rotating disk 43 by the centrifugal force caused by the rotation of the rotating disk 43. When pressed against a guide portion 45, the dice 46 is pushed toward the inside of the rotating disk 43 by its own weight. The dice 46 can roll smoothly, and the dice 46 are pressed against the guide portion 45 by centrifugal force. It is possible to avoid the device becoming stuck.

[0074] In addition, the first surface portion 431 and the second surface portion 432 are supported by the first surface portion 431 during rolling. The force applied to the dice 46 by the second surface portion 432 is different from the force applied to the dice 46 during rolling. For example, the first surface portion 431 has a different surface configuration. The force exerted by the second surface portion 431 on the two rolling dice 46 is The force exerted on the dice 46 is greater than that exerted on the dice 46 .

[0075] Specifically, the first surface portion 431 has a surface as shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. The projections 4311 are rectangular in plan view. As shown in FIG. 11, the plurality of protrusions 4311 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the first surface portion 431. In this way, a recess 4312 is formed between two protrusions 4311. It is being done.

[0076] In contrast to the first surface portion 431 having such characteristics, the second surface portion 432 has, for example, As shown in Figs. 11 and 12, the surface is smooth and free of irregularities. The second surface portion 432 is not made of a material having a higher friction than the first surface portion 431. .

[0077] In this way, according to the first surface portion 431 and the second surface portion 432 having the above-mentioned configuration, The frictional force that the first surface portion 431 exerts on the dice 46 is Therefore, when the rotating disk 43 rotates, The driving force that the first surface portion 431 applies to the dice 46 to roll the dice 46 is is greater than the driving force that the second surface portion 432 exerts on the dice 46.

[0078] Specifically, each protrusion 4311 has ridges 4313 on both sides as shown in FIG. According to the ridge line 4313 of the protruding portion 4311, when the rotating disk 43 rotates, Therefore, the ridge 4313 of the protrusion 4311 can come into contact with the die 46. Due to such contact, the ridge 4313 rotating with the rotating disk 43 pushes the dice 46 As a result, the rotating disk 43 rotates. When the dice 46 are rolled, the rolling time of the dice 46 on the turntable 43 can be extended.

[0079] Here, the first surface portion 431 has been described as having a plurality of protrusions 4311. The first surface portion 431 may have only one protrusion 4311. Instead of the protruding portion 4311, the surface has one or more recessed portions. The protrusion 4311 may be made of a material having a large friction. The shape may be circular, polygonal, or irregular, other than rectangular. The portion 431 includes a concave portion, a convex portion, and is made of a material with high friction. and

[0080] The second surface portion 432 is configured to have a smooth surface without any irregularities. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Any structure may be used that reduces the force applied to the two rolling dice 46. For example, in a case where a plurality of projections and recesses are formed on the first surface portion 431, , the unevenness may be shallower than the unevenness of the first surface portion 431. The number of projections and recesses may be less than the number of projections and recesses. In the case where the second surface portion 432 is configured as above, the friction is greater than that of the first surface portion 431. It may be constructed from small materials.

[0081] In the above description, the first surface portion 431 has a ring-shaped planar shape, and the second surface portion 432 has a Although the planar shape of the above has been described as being circular, the present invention is not limited thereto. The surface portion 431 and the second surface portion 432 are such that the first surface portion 431 is closer to the rotating disk than the second surface portion 432. The first surface portion 431 is located on the peripheral side of the second surface portion 432 during rolling. For example, the first surface portion 4 The planar shape of the second surface portion 432 may be a shape other than annular. Specifically, the shape of the first surface portion 431 in a plan view is a rotational On the peripheral side of the board 43, one or more configurations arranged circumferentially and not connected to each other may be In this case, the planar shape of the second surface portion 432 is such that the first surface portion 431 is located inside each of the components. The rotating disk 43 is connected to the first surface portion 431 through the portion where the rotating disk 43 is located and the portion where the first surface portion 431 is not connected to the other components. The rotating disk 43 may have both a first surface portion 431 and a portion extending toward the periphery. In addition to the second surface portion 432, other surface portions may be provided.

[0082] The configuration of the second surface portion 432 will be described in more detail. The second surface portion 432 is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 12, a connecting portion connected to the first surface portion 431 has a ring-shaped planar shape. 433, and a central portion 434 located on the inner periphery side of the connecting portion 433 and having a circular shape in a plan view. Yes.

[0083] As shown in FIG. 12, the connecting portion 433 has an inverted truncated cone shape. Then, the inclination of the connection portion 433 is the same as the inclination of the first surface portion 431. The inclination of the first surface portion 433 may be smaller than the inclination of the first surface portion 431. The first surface portion 431 and the connecting portion 433 having the inclination characteristic can reduce the support at the connecting portion 433. The effect of the weight of the dice 46 on the rolling of the dice 46 is measured by the first surface portion 431. The effect of the weight of the die 46 on the rolling of the die 46 can be reduced to less than that of the connecting portion 433. It can change the movement of.

[0084] As shown in Figs. 11 and 12, the central portion 434 is flat. The shape of 434 may be other than flat.
