Gaming apparatus and playing method thereof

Abstract

A gaming apparatus according to the present invention comprises: a roulette wheel including a plurality of pockets associated with respective numbers in advance; a first memory for storing a plurality of control data for controlling the gaming apparatus so as to provide different weights on probabilities that a ball is housed in each of the pockets; a second memory for storing pattern data indicating a pattern for selecting control data to be a reference target, out of the plurality of control data; and a controller, the controller programmed to execute the following processings of: (a) controlling rotation of the roulette wheel and launching of the ball by referring to a single control data, that is extracted out of the plurality of control data based on the pattern data, and (b) extracting a control data to be a reference target out of the plurality of control data, based on the pattern data, when a predetermined condition is satisfied.

1 . A gaming apparatus comprising:
 a roulette wheel including a plurality of pockets associated with respective numbers in advance;   a first memory for storing a plurality of control data for controlling the gaming apparatus so as to provide different weights on probabilities that a ball is housed in each of said pockets;   a second memory for storing pattern data indicating a pattern for selecting control data to be a reference target, out of said plurality of control data; and   a controller,   said controller programmed to execute the following processings of:   (a) controlling rotation of said roulette wheel and launching of said ball by referring to a single control data, that is extracted out of said plurality of control data based on said pattern data, and   (b) extracting the control data to be a reference target out of said plurality of control data, based on said pattern data, when a predetermined condition is satisfied.   
   
   
       2 . A gaming apparatus comprising:
 a roulette wheel including a plurality of pockets associated with respective numbers in advance;   a first memory for storing a plurality of control data for controlling the gaming apparatus so as to provide different weights on probabilities that a ball is housed in each of said pockets;   a second memory for storing a plurality of pattern data, each of which indicating a pattern for selecting control data to be a reference target out of said plurality of control data; and   a controller;   said controller programmed to execute the following processings of:   (a) controlling rotation of said roulette wheel and launching of said ball by referring to a single control data, that is extracted out of said plurality of control data based on a single pattern data selected to be a reference target out of said plurality of pattern data,   (b) extracting the control data to be a reference target out of said plurality of control data, based on said single pattern data, when a first predetermined condition is satisfied, and   (c) selecting another pattern data different from said single pattern data, out of said plurality of pattern data, to set the selected pattern data as a reference target, when a second predetermined condition is satisfied.   
   
   
       3 . A gaming apparatus comprising:
 a roulette wheel including a plurality of pockets associated with respective numbers in advance;   a first memory for storing a plurality of series of control data, each series comprising a plurality of control data for controlling the gaming apparatus so as to provide different weights on probabilities that a ball is housed in each of said pockets;   a second memory for storing a plurality of pattern data, each of which indicating a pattern for selecting control data to be a reference target out of the plurality of control data, which constitute a single series of control data selected out of said plurality of series of control data; and   a controller,   said controller programmed to execute the following processings of:   (a) controlling rotation of said roulette wheel and launching of said ball by referring to a single control data extracted out of said plurality of control data, which constitute said single series of control data, based on a single pattern data selected to be a reference target out of said plurality of pattern data,   (b) extracting the control data to be a reference target, out of said plurality of control data which constitute said single series of control data, based on said single pattern data, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, and   (c) selecting another pattern data different from said single pattern data, out of said plurality of pattern data, to set the selected pattern data as a reference target, when said single series of control data is changed to another series of control data that is different from said single series of control data.   
   
   
       4 . A playing method of a gaming apparatus comprising the steps of:
 (a) controlling rotation of a roulette wheel and launching of a ball by referring to a single control data, the single control data extracted out of a plurality of control data for controlling the gaming apparatus so as to provide different weights on probabilities that a ball is housed in any of a plurality of pockets included in a roulette wheel and associated with respective numbers in advance, based on a pattern data indicating a pattern for selecting control data to be a reference target out of said plurality of control data; and   (b) extracting the control data to be a reference target, out of said plurality of control data, based on said pattern data, when a predetermined condition is satisfied.   
   
   
       5 . A playing method of a gaming apparatus comprising the steps of:
 (a) controlling rotation of a roulette wheel and launching of a ball by referring to a single control data extracted out of a plurality of control data, based on a single pattern data selected to be a reference target out of a plurality of pattern data indicating a pattern for selecting control data to be a reference target out of said plurality of control data for controlling the gaming apparatus so as to provide different weights on probabilities that a ball is housed in any of a plurality of pockets included in a roulette wheel and associated with respective numbers in advance;   (b) extracting the control data to be a reference target out of said plurality of control data, based on said single pattern data, when a first predetermined condition is satisfied, and   (c) selecting another pattern data different from said single pattern data, out of said plurality of pattern data, to set the selected pattern data as a reference target, when a second predetermined condition is satisfied.   
   
   
       6 . A playing method of a gaming apparatus comprising the steps of:
 (a) controlling rotation of a roulette wheel and launching of a ball by referring to a single control data extracted out of a plurality of control data which constitute a single series of control data, based on a single pattern data selected to be a reference target out of a plurality of pattern data, each of which indicating a pattern for selecting the data to be the reference target out of said plurality of control data which constitute said single series of control data selected out of a plurality of series of control data, each series comprising a plurality of control data for controlling the gaming apparatus so as to provide different weights on probabilities that a ball is housed in any of a plurality of pockets included in a roulette wheel and associated with respective numbers in advance;   (b) extracting the control data to be a reference target, out of said plurality of control data which constitute said single series of control data, based on said single pattern data, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, and   (c) selecting another pattern data different from said single pattern data, out of said plurality of pattern data, to set the selected pattern data as a reference target, when said single series of control data is changed to another series of control data that is different from said single series of control data.
