Abstract

公开了一种游戏方法,其中响应确定的预设游戏结果、投注金额或随机事件,增加累进奖金值。根据主游戏或辅助游戏结果增加累进奖金的值。另一创新是当完成奖励事件时,无论在所述奖励事件中实际上奖金是否被赢取,重置累进奖金。玩家跟踪系统允许累进奖金值与特定玩家相关联,从而对玩家个人保持累进奖金值。还公开了重置增加后的累进奖金。

Description

涉及累进投注的游戏方法和装置
相关申请交叉参考
本申请要求2004年8月3日提交的临时申请60/598,305的利益。
技术领域
本发明的实施例涉及具有一项或多项累进奖金的娱乐场投注游戏,累进奖金的值根据随机事件或其他预设事件或结果增加,和/或如果在奖励事件期间未被赢取则进行重置。
背景技术
众多投注游戏的特征在于奖金值随时间增加。这样的奖金被称为累进奖金。通常,累进奖金最初是特定的值,称为种子值或重置值,随后累进奖金在合格的投注数量基础上随时间增长。通常,通过利用每一个合格的投注的指定部分累进奖金得到增长。词组“合格投注”是指赢得累进奖金所需的预设投注数量,通常是最大可能的投注。此外,一些投注权限要求只有产生累进奖金的投注才能被用于提供增加累进奖金的资金。
常见的累进奖金运转如下:当第一次进行游戏时,或赢得以前的累进奖金后,将累进奖金值设置为特定的值。随后,累进奖金值中加入每一个合格投注的固定百分比,直到玩家赢得累进奖金的游戏结果出现。
累进奖金可以包括投注,并从单个机器或多个机器投入。在后者的情况下,称为互连累进,机器可以配置在一组相邻的机器中,或分布在一个娱乐场内的多组机器中,或分布在一个局部地理区域内的多个娱乐场中,或分布在多个局部地理区域内的多个娱乐场中。在许多带有累进奖金特别是互连累进奖金的游戏中,累进奖金的增加是隐藏的,从而奖金值数额的变化可以显示为连续和平稳的增加,而不是快速跳跃地变化。累进奖金通常以汽车里程表记录的方式显示,以更好地给出累进奖金连续和平稳增长的印象。
常规的从每个合格的投注增加累进奖金的一个值得注意的例外在Silicon Gaming公司的电子扑克游戏“Phantom Belle Playoff”中最为明显,在投入特定数量的合格投注后,其提供特定数值的不连续的累进奖金增长。在这种情况下,特定数额的最大投注投入之后,累进奖金才增加。
大多数具有累进奖金的游戏配置为根据主游戏的结果支付奖金。例如,在投币机游戏中,响应一组特定的符号赢取奖金,通常是当投入最大投注时,沿特定支付线对齐的最顶端的符号。然而,还有一些投币游戏根据奖励事件的结果支付累进奖金。另一个例子涉及纸牌游戏,其中出现特定的一手牌,如皇家同花(同花的A、K、Q、J、10)。
许多娱乐场游戏在主游戏之外提供奖励事件或奖励轮。响应主游戏的结果可以触发该奖励。例如,在投币机游戏中,结果可以基于出现在特定位置的特定符号。在提供的其他游戏中,根据辅助事件触发奖金。例如,电子扑克游戏,Phantom Belle Playoff,从一副中出现的一张特定的牌不影响主游戏,但是引起加载奖励轮。
在奖励事件中,通常根据不同于主游戏结果的辅助结果给予玩家奖励。在投币游戏中,例如类似“黄金转盘”或“幸运转盘”,当奖励符号以预设方式(或者在最后一个转轴的支付线上或者在支付线的所有位置上,根据游戏规则而定)出现且玩家已投入最大投注时,触发奖励轮。在奖励轮期间,由玩家发动奖励转盘的旋转。转盘逐渐减速并停止。转盘被分为很多扇形,每一个代表一项奖金。在转盘停止之后转盘边缘的一根指针指向转盘的一个扇形,玩家赢得该扇形代表的奖金。
奖励事件通常包括以下特征:
-使玩家获得奖金;
-实际奖励数额通常对玩家是未知的,直到进行了奖励轮;
-使用不同于主游戏的奖金发放和/或选择机制;
-要求玩家输入以启动奖励游戏;
-在一些情况下,奖励事件会要求玩家提高互动性,如玩家确定选择位置以显示隐藏的符号;和/或
-在一些情况下,奖励事件会涉及实际玩家的决定,如是否接受当前的奖金或放弃该奖金而代之以寻求更多奖金的机会。
发明内容
本发明的实施例包括指导投注游戏的方法:接受玩家投注,产生游戏结果,响应于与预定的获胜结果相匹配的游戏结果,通过向玩家支付奖金归结玩家投注,及响应与预定结果相匹配的游戏结果提高关联的累进奖金值。
本发明的实施例包括用于提供娱乐场游戏的方法和装置,该游戏具有一项或多项累进奖金,累进奖金具有下列一些或全部特征:
-累进奖金只根据某个主或辅助游戏的结果增加;
-对相应于连接到玩家跟踪系统的非关联累进奖金,任何累进奖金的增加均依据游戏进程之间的玩家进行;和/或
-只能在奖励轮期间赢取累进奖金,无论奖金是否被赢取,在奖励游戏之后奖励奖金重置。
因此,不是每一个合格的投注都使累进奖金增加,而是只在响应特定的主或辅助游戏结果累进奖金才增加。这样的方案通过使累进奖金的增加成为特殊事件而不是标准程序、自动事件,提高了玩家的兴奋度和兴趣。累进奖金增加能够变为心理奖励,其不会对提供游戏的娱乐场产生直接的负面经济影响。该特征还有助于鼓励玩家更多地参与游戏,因为玩家根据其实际的表现可以对增加累进奖金感觉到更多的直接责任。
触发主累进奖金增加的示例包括(但不限于):
在进行投币机游戏期间,出现特定的符号,或许出现在特定的位置;
在进行纸牌游戏期间,出现特定的牌,或出现在特定的玩家位置;
出现特定的获胜结果;和/或
出现非获胜结果,特别是在打击频率非常高的游戏中。
触发辅助累进奖金的增长的最基本示例是随机增加累进奖金,并独立于主游戏的结果。在示例中,其涉及显示辅助游戏组成部分,如转盘或其他显示。另一辅助事件示例涉及使用除标准游戏卷轴之外的特殊特征的卷轴。如果特定符号出现在特殊特征的卷轴上,或许与特定的主游戏结果共同作用,可以触发累进奖金的增加。
对于具有累进奖金的标准游戏,游戏可以配置为只允许累进奖金在特定的投注要求得到满足时才增加,例如当投入最大投注时。可选地,游戏可以配置为所有投注都合格时累进奖金才增加。
当累进奖金增加时,很少有方法能确定增加的数额。游戏可以配置为相同的触发增加相同的数额。对于允许针对多项投注金额的奖金累进增加的游戏,可以根据实际的投注额按比例确定奖金的增加。另一种游戏规定能产生增加累进奖金的不同触发类型。还有一种游戏规定能产生随机选择的累进奖金的增加,或许来自可能的奖金分布。这样可变的累进奖金增加能够成为奖励轮事件的一部分。另一种游戏规定是允许不同的触发产生不同的累进奖金值的增加。而且,不同的触发产生的累进奖金的增加不同。此外,游戏规定能允许多个同时的触发,其中的每一个产生一项累进奖金增加,可能是相同的累进奖金和/或不同的累进奖金。
本发明实施例的另一方面是玩家个人累进奖金的概念。具体地,一些游戏设备允许跟踪各个玩家,通常通过玩家在安装于机器上的读卡器中插入其唯一的身份识别卡开始游戏。玩家跟踪还有可能出现在通过因特网提供的游戏中,其中要求玩家提供用户名和密码以进行游戏。能够提供玩家跟踪的游戏系统还能够设计为在游戏进程之间对同一玩家保持累进奖金。例如,如果一个既定玩家能够增加其个人累进奖金到达特定数额,在下一次该玩家返回到游戏中时,累进奖金保持相同的值。
本发明实施例的另一方面是只能在奖励轮期间赢取累进奖金的思想,且如果累进奖金没有被赢取,累进奖金重置。例如,当玩家开始一项具有该特征的游戏时,累进奖金设置在特定的水平,奖金能随着玩家进行游戏而增加,或者通过传统的累进奖金增长机制,或者通过本发明实施例的随机增长机制。只有在进行奖励轮期间玩家能获得累进奖金。无论玩家是否赢得该累进奖金,所有的累进奖金在退出奖励轮时重置。
本发明实施例还具有补充的方面,涉及根据投注额设置和调整累进奖金值。一方面涉及根据投注额选择累进奖金的重置值。例如,累进增长值可以重置为S×W的值,其中,S是基本种子值,W是当奖励游戏或奖励轮激活时,游戏进行期间投入的相关投注额。可选地,当奖励游戏或奖励轮激活时,如果在游戏进行期间投入超过最小投注额的投注,可以应用累进奖金增长。例如,累进奖金值重置为值S,但是如果玩家的投注W大于1个单位,则累进奖金值在奖励轮的开始增加S×(W-1)。在更具体的示例中,累进奖金重置为100个单位。随后,如果在游戏进行期间,累进奖金值增加了60个单位,投注为5个单位,且游戏结果触发奖励轮或奖励游戏,160个单位的累进奖金按下式计算:100×(5-1)=400,增加400个单位,玩家在奖励轮期间有可能赢得总额560个单位的累进奖金值。
在相同的游戏中能够提供上述公开的两种累进奖金调整。具体地,对于与玩家跟踪系统连接的游戏,对第一次进行游戏的既定玩家,累进奖金值设置为S。所述玩家第一次进入奖励轮且玩家的投注大于1个单位,累进奖金值增加S×(W-1)。这样的增加只出现在所述玩家的第一个奖励轮事件。当第一次或随后任一次退出奖励轮时,累进奖金值重置为S×W。
上述所有游戏特征可以应用于涉及多项累进奖金的方法和装置。从以下的详细说明、附图和权利要求中,本发明的其他变化、实施例和特征将变得显而易见。

具体实施方式
为了促进对根据本发明实施例的原理的理解,参考附图中所示的实施例及其具体文字描述。但是可以理解其意不在限制本发明的范围。在此所示发明特征的任何变化和进一步的修改,以及在此所示本发明原理的任何另外的应用,对本领域的普通技术人员和了解本发明公开内容的人显而易见,都在本发明要求保护的范围之内。
参考附图,图1是详细说明本发明的游戏实施例的框图100,即游戏的累进奖金值根据游戏结果随机增长。在框图100中,在步骤110玩家首先投注,在步骤111开始游戏,并在步骤112游戏产生结果。随后在步骤113确定该结果是否引起累进奖金值增加。如果是,在步骤114确定玩家的投注额是否足够产生累进奖金的增加。换句话说,累进奖金增加额取决于游戏结果和玩家投注额。如果对步骤113和114的问题答案是肯定的,在步骤115累进奖金值增加。如果对步骤113和114的问题任意一个答案为否定的,累进奖金值不增加。下一步在步骤116确定游戏结果是否为获胜结果。如果是,在步骤117向玩家支付奖金。在步骤118,确定累进奖金是否被赢取。如果没有,在步骤120游戏结束。如果有,在步骤119重置累进奖金值。
值得注意的是,在框图100中,要求产生累进奖金增加的游戏结果的本质没有根据本发明实施例的功能明确阐述,从而可应用到或主游戏结果或辅助游戏结果。
图2是详细说明本发明另一实施例的框图200,即非关联累进奖金的游戏,其中累进奖金的增加在游戏进程之间累计。在这样的实施例中,玩家跟踪系统在玩家文件和/或数据库中保持累进奖金的积累。为了实现这一目标,框图200详细解释了玩家在单一游戏进程期间进行一种或多种游戏(例如机器、装置、网络接口),其中在该游戏进程期间的每一种游戏都与相同身份的玩家关联。
首先,在步骤210与游戏相连的玩家跟踪系统确定玩家身份,并在步骤211确定玩家是再次参与还是第一次加入。如果玩家是再次参与,在步骤212累进奖金值设置为上一次游戏进程之后的值。如果玩家不是再次参与,在步骤230累进奖金值设置为其默认种子值。随后在步骤213开始游戏并在步骤214产生游戏结果。根据在步骤214产生的游戏结果,在步骤215确定累进奖金值是否应增加。如果是,在步骤231增加累进奖金值,并在步骤232保存与确定身份的玩家关联的累进奖金值。在步骤216玩家选择再次参与游戏或者在步骤217结束游戏。在该配置中,累进奖金值是针对玩家个人的,并由玩家跟踪系统维持。
图3是详细说明本发明另一实施例的框图300,即具有只能在奖励轮赢取的累进奖金的游戏,且无论累进奖金是否被赢取,在奖励轮结束之后重置累进奖金。框图300还解释了累进奖金值的初始设置。这是基于按照每一个合格投注的百分比增加累进奖金的标准方法。
首先在步骤310激活游戏,并在步骤311确定游戏以前是否曾经被激活过。如果没有,在步骤312按初始值或默认种子值设置累进奖金。在步骤313接受来自目标玩家的投注,并在步骤314由玩家开始游戏。在步骤315根据投注额增加累进奖金值,并在步骤316进行游戏从而产生游戏结果。然后在步骤317确定游戏结果是否触发奖励事件。如果游戏结果确实触发了奖励事件,在步骤318进行奖励游戏,其间有可能赢得累进奖金。在完成奖励游戏之后,在步骤319重置累进奖金值。随后在步骤320确定玩家是否获得奖金。如果是,在步骤321把奖金计入玩家账户。在步骤322结束游戏。
图4是类似于框图300的框图400。但是,其按照本发明实施例中的描述,详细说明了随机增加累进奖金的创新方法。
首先在步骤410激活游戏,然后在步骤411确定该游戏以前是否曾经被激活过。如果没有,在步骤412将累进奖金值设置为初始/默认种子值。在步骤413接受来自目标玩家的投注,并在步骤414由玩家开始游戏,在步骤415产生游戏结果。然后在步骤416确定游戏结果是否触发累进奖金的增加。如果是,在步骤417增加累进奖金值,并在步骤418根据投注金额增加累进奖金值。随后在步骤419确定游戏结果是否触发奖励事件。其次在步骤420进行奖励游戏,奖励游戏完成之后,在步骤421重置累进奖金值。然后在步骤422确定玩家是否赢得奖金,如果是,在步骤423将奖金记入玩家账户。在步骤424结束游戏。
图5是详细说明示例游戏系统的框图500,该游戏在单个游戏中结合了多个创造性组成部分。在步骤510获取玩家ID,并在步骤511确定该玩家以前是否曾经参与过游戏。如果该玩家以前没有参加过游戏,在步骤530将累进奖金值设置为其默认种子值,否则在步骤512将累进奖金值恢复为该玩家上一次进行该游戏时的对应值。在步骤513玩家开始游戏,在步骤514游戏产生游戏结果。如果在步骤515游戏结果符合触发累进奖金增加所要求的结果,在步骤531增加相应的累进奖金值,并在步骤532保存更新后的值。框图500适于根据主游戏结果或者辅助游戏结果触发累进奖金的增加。其后在步骤516决定游戏结果是否触发奖金结果。如果游戏结果触发奖励轮,在步骤517检查激活奖励轮的支付线投注额,以确定其是否大于1个单位。如果激活的支付线投注大于1个单位,则在步骤518根据激活的支付线投注额与1个单位之间的差增加累进奖金。随后在步骤519进行奖励事件,其间玩家有机会赢得至少一项累进奖金。当奖励事件结束时,无论玩家是否赢得累进奖金,在步骤520重置累进奖金,且在步骤521存储累进奖金。其后在步骤522玩家能够再次进行游戏,或在步骤523结束其游戏进程。
图6是示例游戏的截屏图,其特征在于本发明实施例的一些方面。截屏图显示了三项累进奖金,称为高级累进奖金610、中级累进奖金620和初级累进奖金630。当玩家第一次进行游戏时,累进奖金例如分别设置为100个单位、75个单位和50个单位。
图7是紧随图6的后续截屏图。累进符号640显示在第三转轴上,在本发明的实施例中其将导致在初级累进奖金630中增加投注的总额,从而新的值变为55个单位(即50个单位+5个单位=55个单位)。图8是另一截屏图。累进符号650出现在第一转轴上,在本发明的实施例中这将导致在高级累进奖金610中增加投注总额的两倍,从而新的值变为110个单位(即100个单位+2×5个单位=110个单位)。
图9是另一截屏图。累进符号660出现在第三转轴上,在本发明的实施例中这将导致在初级累进奖金630中增加投注的总额。由于在该截屏图中,投注大小是25个单位,所以新值变为80个单位(即55个单位+25个单位=80个单位)。图10是表示触发多项累进奖金增长的事件同时出现的另一截屏图。如图所示,两项不同的累进奖金有增长。第二转轴上的累进符号670导致中级累进奖金620增加,同时第三转轴上的累进符号680导致初级累进奖金630增加。截屏图中所示的游戏消息区域680显示“中级累进奖金增加10个单位”。但是,这是动态显示区域,其中还会显示其他消息,在本例中还会显示“初级累进奖金增加10单位”。
图11是表明触发累进奖金的增长和主游戏获胜的结果同时出现的截屏图。如图所示根据转轴上的符号限定的游戏结果赢得32个单位690,中级累进奖金值620已经增加。
图12是另一截屏图。主游戏已经触发在激活奖励的支付线上具有5个投注单位的奖励事件。分别是110个单位、90个单位和90个单位的累进奖金值在奖励轮之前已经增长。在奖励轮开始时,累进奖金值610-630已经增加到510个单位、390个单位和290个单位,其分别对应于400个单位、300个单位和200个单位的增长,这是基于激活的投注是5个单位的事实。因此,每一项增长是根据下式计算:(激活的支付线投注额-1个单位)×种子,或具体地的,4×100个单位=400个单位,4×75个单位=300个单位,4×50个单位=200个单位。截屏图还表明在该奖励轮中,可以赢得的累进奖金由标有“头奖”的奖励轮盘上的彩色编码条700指出。
图13是另一截屏图。该截屏图表示了在完成了奖励轮之后的游戏状态,该奖励轮具有5个单位的激活支付线的投注。因此按下式算法设置累进奖金值:激活的支付线投注×种子,或5×种子,或具体的5×100个单位=500个单位、5×75个单位=375个单位、5×50个单位=250个单位。
虽然参考几个实施例详细描述了本发明,但是按如下权利要求的描述和定义,在本发明的范围和精神之内还有其他变化与修改。
