Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game medium (medal, ball, etc.) inserted, a reel composed of a plurality of types of pictures being moved (rotated), and stopped on a reel display window when the reel is stopped. The present invention relates to a gaming table (slot machine, pachinko machine, etc.) in which a prize is determined from a combination of the designated patterns and a player enjoys paying out a predetermined game medium.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional gaming machine performs a random number lottery to determine a winning combination by comparing a sampled random number value with predetermined lottery data, and when a predetermined winning combination is internally won by the random number lottery. , The stop of the reels is controlled such that the combination of the winning combination patterns is stopped at a predetermined reel stop position in the reel display window. When the combination of pictures stopped by the reel control is a winning combination, the player can acquire a predetermined number of game media corresponding to the stopped winning combination. The gaming table sets a plurality of lottery data in which, when a predetermined number of games are played, the number of game media that can be obtained by the player during this game is statistically converged to different values. .

A typical slot machine will be described as an example. Generally, a medal is used as a game medium,
Multiply the medals and operate the start lever. Then, the three reels having a pattern of 21 frames per rotation start to rotate. At the same time, the control unit obtains the above-mentioned random numbers and determines whether or not the internal winning is possible. The player presses a stop button corresponding to each reel to stop each reel. Then
Each reel can see three frames of each reel from a reel display window on the front of the player. That is, the player is 3 ×
3 reels of 9 frames can be seen from the front. Here, if a combination of pictures displayed on the reel display window (usually a combination of pictures arranged in a straight line) is awarded according to the number of medals won, a corresponding medal is paid out.

Here, when a special game (for example, a big bonus) is won in a general game, a special game is started, and during the special game, for example, 30 times of a general game or three times of a special game (for example, a regular bonus) are won. You will be given the opportunity to In addition, when a special game is won in a general game, a special game is started, and in a game during a special game, a state of being internally won with a high probability is achieved. That is, in the conventional slot machine, when a player wins a special game or a special game, a privilege that a large amount of medals can be obtained is given to the player. Therefore, for the player, how many special games or special games are won. Being able to play is the biggest factor that affects the interest of the game.

[0005]

However, in a slot machine which is a conventional gaming table, since the probability of winning a special game or a special game is set low, most of the game period is limited to the special game and the special game. Other games, that is, general games. In this general game, usually, the number of medals to be inserted into the slot machine is larger than the number of medals that can be obtained, and the player is constantly investing until special games or special games are won. It was difficult to increase the interest of the game in.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming table that diversifies a game during a general game and increases gambling, thereby increasing a player's interest in the gaming table.

[0007] It is another object of the present invention to provide a gaming table which can not only increase gambling but also control the number of medals paid out during a predetermined game, while realizing diversification of games during a general game. The purpose is.

[0008]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a gaming machine according to the present invention uses a game medium and a game start operation to determine whether or not a prize is won, and the type of a winning combination when a prize is won. In addition to performing an internal lottery to determine the start of the reels in a plurality of rows, stopping each reel based on the result of the internal lottery and the stop operation of the reel by the player, the internal lottery on the winning line A game machine to be a prize when the picture combination corresponding to the winning combination determined by the award is stopped, the control unit of the gaming machine is used for the internal lottery, the winning probability of the winning combination is different from a plurality of It has a lottery table, and the lottery table used for the internal lottery is changed according to predetermined conditions.

[0009] Preferably, the plurality of lottery tables include a small winning combination probability lottery table. In addition, the predetermined condition is a result of a table selection lottery performed during a general game separately from the internal lottery. Further, the predetermined condition is that a predetermined pattern combination according to a result of a table selection lottery performed during a general game besides the internal lottery is prepared. Further, the predetermined condition is:
In addition to the internal lottery, a predetermined pattern combination according to the result of the table selection lottery performed during the general game is prepared a predetermined number of times. The table selection lottery is executed for each game. Further, in the table selection lottery, the transition probability at which the lottery table used in the current game shifts to another lottery table is changed. The change of the transition probability is performed according to the type of the lottery table used in the previous game. Further, the change of the transition probability is performed in accordance with the difference between the stop symbols on the reels and the winning combinations. Further, the predetermined condition includes that a predetermined pattern combination is prepared a predetermined number of times. In addition, the predetermined condition is that, in the lottery table, the type of the small winning combination with a high winning probability is made different, and in the internal lottery using the current lottery table, the small winning combination other than the small winning combination with a high winning probability is set. Including the case where the internal election. Further, the predetermined condition includes a change of a game state to a general game. Also,
The change of the game state to the general game is when the general game is started after the end of the special game. Further, the predetermined condition includes an internal winning of a predetermined winning combination. Further, the predetermined winning combination is a winning combination for starting a special game or a special game. The predetermined condition is the number of games. When the predetermined condition is satisfied, a lottery table used for the internal lottery is determined by lottery. When the predetermined condition is satisfied, the internal lottery is performed using the lottery table in which the winning probability of the winning combination is set highest among the plurality of lottery tables. Further, each time the predetermined condition is satisfied, the process shifts to the lottery table in which the winning probability of the winning combination is set higher among the plurality of lottery tables. Also, when the predetermined condition is satisfied again during the game in which the internal lottery is performed using the lottery table in which the winning probability of each winning combination is set to the highest among the plurality of lottery tables. The internal lottery is performed using a lottery table other than the lottery table in which the winning probability of each winning combination is set highest. Further, when a game in which the internal lottery is started by using the lottery table in which the winning probability of the winning combination is set to the highest among the plurality of lottery tables is started, the winning combination is determined for a predetermined number of games. The internal lottery is performed using the lottery table in which the winning probability is set highest. Further, the number of games is determined by selecting one of a plurality of predetermined games by lottery. Further, in response to the selection instruction by the player, the winning probability of the winning combination in the general game and the game mode of the special game are changed as a set.

The gaming machine of the present invention performs an internal lottery for determining the type of a winning combination when a winning or a prize is won by a game medium input operation and a game start operation, and a plurality of reels. Starts moving, stops each reel based on the result of the internal lottery and the stop operation of the reel by the player, and stops the pattern combination corresponding to the winning combination determined by the internal lottery on the winning line. In this case, the gaming table to be a prize, storing a predetermined number of game information in a predetermined storage area according to the progress of the game, and changing the lottery table based on the calculation result using the game information It is characterized by.

Preferably, the lottery table is changed based on the calculation result and a predetermined condition. The game information is the number of inserted coins, the number of coins to be paid out, the number of special game winnings, and the number of special game winnings. If the current game information exceeds a predetermined number of game information in the storage area, the current game information is sequentially stored in the oldest game information. Further, the calculation result is a result obtained by subtracting a total inserted number from the total inserted number in the predetermined number of game information, a result obtained by dividing a total inserted number in the predetermined number of game information by a total inserted number, and It is any one or a combination of a plurality of special game winning numbers in the number of pieces of game information. In addition, the predetermined condition is, when the predetermined number of games has been reached, when the payout rate has reached a predetermined value, when a predetermined pattern combination is aligned on the winning line, when a predetermined time has elapsed,
Also, it is one or a plurality of combinations when the number of times the pattern combinations corresponding to the internally won winning combinations have not been aligned reaches a predetermined number.

[Example of Reel Picture Arrangement] FIG. 3 shows an example of reel picture arrangement used in the slot machine of the present embodiment.

In this embodiment, a picture number (Pi in FIG. 3)
c No), when the "Hip" patterns of the left reel 18, the middle reel 10 and the right reel 12 are aligned on the winning line (hereinafter referred to as "Hip-Hip-Hip"), the next game starts. It is controlled so that a “high-probability game” in which an internal lottery is performed using the “high-probability lottery table” is started.

[Example of Lottery Table Used During General Game] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of a lottery table used during a general game in the slot machine of the present embodiment.

In this example, a "low probability lottery table"
"Small role high probability lottery table", "High probability lottery table"
There are three types of lottery tables, and which lottery table is used to determine the internal lottery is determined by performing a lottery table shift lottery different from the internal lottery. However, regarding the “high-probability lottery table”, when the “high-probability lottery table” is won in the lottery table transfer lottery and “Hip-Hip-Hip” can be further aligned on the winning line, the next game is executed. , An internal lottery using the “high-probability lottery table”, that is, a “high-probability game” is executed.

In this “high probability game”, as shown in the figure,
Since the winning probability of each winning combination is set high, and as will be described later, the winning combination is continuously performed for a predetermined number of times,
You can get a lot of medals. That is, a game with a high expected value, which is different from the conventional special game and the special game, and can win the winning combination with a high probability becomes possible.

Note that, as shown in FIG. 5, the transition probability of the lottery table in the lottery table transition lottery differs depending on the type of the lottery table currently used.

[Control Processing] Next, an example of the control processing in the slot machine having the configuration of the present embodiment will be described in the ROM 3.
17 will be described in detail with reference to flowcharts of FIGS.

(Basic Control of Game) FIG. 6 is an example showing a flowchart of a main flow of game control in the slot machine of the present embodiment.

In the first ST120, it is checked whether or not medals have been inserted. In order to insert medals, one of the medal insertion buttons 130 to 132 is pressed when medals are stored in the slot machine, or the medal insertion port is manually set by the player when no medals are stored. 13
This is done by inserting medals from 3.

When medals are inserted, a prize display lamp for displaying a prize line on the reel display window is turned on in accordance with the number of medals inserted.

In the next ST121, it is checked whether or not the start lever 134 is operated by the player.
If it is determined that there is a start operation, ST12
In 2, the number of medals inserted by the player is determined. However, when the player inserts four or more coins, since the fourth coin is stored in the slot machine, three coins are determined to be inserted.

In the next ST123, a random number is obtained. This is performed by the CPU 310 obtaining a random number from the random number generator 311. Here, the obtained random numbers are used for the lottery process in the next ST124. Therefore,
In the lottery process in ST124, the acquired random number value and the ROM3
The lottery of each winning combination is performed by using a predetermined lottery table stored in 17.

The types of winning combinations include, for example, the following.

(1) Special games (for example, big bonus)
Start winning combination: After this winning combination is internally won, thereafter, the reels 110 to 112 are arranged until a pattern combination (for example, “Seven-Seven-Seven”) corresponding to the winning combination is arranged on the winning line to win. , The state of the internally won is carried over to the next and subsequent games.

In the special game started from the next game which has won the winning combination, the winning combination for starting the special game described below and the winning combination of the small role are internally won with a high probability for a predetermined number of times. Therefore, a large number of medals can be obtained.

(2) Winning role to start a special game (for example, regular bonus):
Like the winning combination that starts the special game, the reel 110
In -112, the internally won state is carried over to the next and subsequent games until a picture combination (for example, "BAR-BAR-BAR") corresponding to the winning combination is arranged on the winning line to win a prize.

In the special game started from the next game which has won the winning combination, the winning combination of the character is internally won with a high probability, so that a large number of medals can be obtained even if the special game is not achieved. Further, as described above, depending on the game mode of the special game, it is possible to obtain a medal comparable to the special game even in the special game. In the following, a game in a special game is referred to as a bonus game.

(3) Winning role of small role: Unlike the above-mentioned special game and the special game starting special game, a state in which the winning combination is internally won is effective only in the game and the next game is effective. Not carried over.

Usually, a plurality of small roles are provided.
The number of medals paid out at the time of winning differs depending on the winning combination of each small role. That is, a pattern combination (for example, "Cherry-*-*", "bell-bell-bell", "watermelon-watermelon-watermelon", etc.) corresponding to the winning combination of each small role is aligned on the winning line. When a prize is won, a number of medals corresponding to the winning small role are paid out.

(4) Winning prize of a role: During a special game, a prize is won with a high probability.

(5) Re-game: When a re-game is internally won and a pattern combination corresponding to the re-game is completed on the reels 110 to 112, in the next game, the same number of medals as the medals inserted in the previous game are automatically generated. The game is started by operating the start lever 134 without the player inserting a medal.

In the next ST125, all reels (3 reels)
Starts, and when the rotated reel reaches a predetermined speed, a stop button can be accepted in ST126. If the player leaves the stop button without pressing the stop button, the control unit performs control to stop the spinning reel after a predetermined time has elapsed.

When the player presses the stop button corresponding to each reel in ST127 to ST129, control is performed to stop the reel corresponding to each stop button in ST130. Upon recognizing in ST131 that all reels have stopped, in ST131, the control unit 300 performs a winning determination process described later, and in ST133, a predetermined number of medals according to the type of the winning combination are transferred to the motor by the hopper control unit 321. It is paid out to the medal outlet 150 by operation or stored in the slot machine.

[Detailed Flow of Lottery Processing (ST124)]
FIG. 7 shows an example of the procedure of the lottery process executed in the present embodiment in the lottery process (ST124) of FIG.

ST140: The game state data of the current machine set in the RAM 318 of the control unit in FIG. 2 is obtained.

ST141: It is determined from the acquired data whether or not the game state is the high-probability game state. Specifically, the state of the “high-probability gaming state flag” is checked. During the high probability game with "1",
At "0", a normal probability game is in progress, and the initial state is reset (= 0).

ST142: If it is determined in ST141 that a high-probability game is being played, the value of the high-probability game number counter N (the number of games in which the high-probability game can be continuously executed) set in ST166 of FIG. Update (in this example, minus 1 is used).

ST143: Among the winning combination lottery tables shown in FIG. 4, the high probability lottery table is obtained and used in the subsequent lottery.

ST144: It is determined whether the type of the lottery table currently being used is the low probability lottery table or the small combination high probability lottery table.

ST145: It is determined whether or not the internal winning of the high-probability game is being performed based on the high-probability internal winning flag. If it is an internal lottery, the process proceeds to ST154, and an internal lottery is performed using the current lottery table recognized in ST144.

ST146: If the internal winning is not determined in ST145, a lottery table transition probability shown in FIG. 5 is obtained according to the current lottery table recognized in ST144.

ST147: Using the random number obtained in ST123 of FIG. 6, the transfer lottery of the lottery table is performed according to the transfer probability probability obtained in ST146. Here, the random number used for the transfer lottery in the lottery table may be used as the random number used for the internal lottery, or a random number for the transfer lottery may be separately generated.

ST148: It is determined whether or not the result of the shift lottery is an internal win for shifting to a high-probability game. If the transition to the high-probability game has been won, the process proceeds to ST149; otherwise, the process proceeds to ST151.

ST149: If it is determined in ST148 that the internal winning of the high-probability game has been won, the internal winning flag of the high-probability game is set. Note that an internal winning flag area is provided in the RAM 318 of the control unit in FIG. 2 to indicate whether or not a lottery of a high-probability game has been won.

ST150: Inform the player of the internal winning of the high-probability game. Specific examples of the internal winning notification include, for example, turning on the effect lamp 128 of FIG. 1, blinking the backlight in a predetermined pattern, and generating a predetermined notification sound. If the slot has a liquid crystal, the liquid crystal may be used, and if the slot has a sub-reel, the stop reel pattern may be used for notification. Then, ST1
Proceeding to 54, an internal lottery is performed using the current lottery table recognized in ST144.

ST151: If the high-probability game has not been won, then it is determined whether or not the small-prize high-probability game has been won.

ST152: If a small win high probability game is won, a small win high probability lottery table is acquired.

ST153: When the small winning combination high probability game is not won, a low probability lottery table is obtained.

ST154: ST143, ST152, S
Based on T153 or the lottery table used in the previous game, for example, the internal lottery of the special game, the special game during the general game, the small combination, and the winning combination relating to the replay is performed.

ST155: It is determined whether or not there is an internal winning, and if it is determined that there is a loss, the lottery process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that any of the winning combinations has been internally won, the process proceeds to ST156.

ST156: The type of the internally won winning combination is determined, and an internal winning flag corresponding to the internally won winning combination is set. In the RAM 318 of the control unit in FIG. 2, internal winning flag areas corresponding to each winning combination as shown in FIG. 4 are provided.

As described above, in FIG. 7, when a high-probability game is being played, the process of ST146 (lottery table transfer lottery) is avoided, so that the high-probability game is played without shifting to another lottery table. Can be executed reliably. Further, even during the internal winning of the high-probability game, the process of ST146 is avoided, so that there is no possibility of shifting to another lottery table.

When the internal winning flag of any winning combination and the high-probability game internal winning flag are set, when the reel is stopped in FIG. 6, ST130, the control unit configures the winning combination with the internal winning flag set. Reel stop control is performed so that the pattern to be drawn is easily aligned on the winning line.

In this embodiment, both the high-probability game internal winning flag and the internal winning flag of any winning combination may be set in one game.
In this case, the pattern that constitutes the internally won prize,
Reel stop control may be performed preferentially so as to be easily aligned on the winning line.

Further, a pattern arrangement may be appropriately determined so that a certain winning combination and a "Hip" pattern may be repeatedly won.

[Detailed Flow of Winning Determination Process (ST132)] FIG. 8 shows an example of the procedure of the winning determination process executed in the present embodiment in the winning determination process (ST132) of FIG.

ST160: It is determined whether or not the current state of the machine is a high-probability game. That is, the state of the “high-probability game state flag” is checked as in ST141.

ST161: If a high-probability game is being played, it is checked whether or not the high-probability game counter set to N in ST166 described later is zero. ST if zero
The process proceeds to ST162 if not zero, and proceeds to ST163.

ST162: If the high-probability game number counter is zero, the high-probability game state flag is reset.

ST163: It is determined whether or not "Hip-Hip-Hip" is aligned on any one of the winning lines.

ST164: "Hip-Hip-Hip"
Is reset, the high probability internal winning flag is reset.

ST165: A high-probability gaming state flag is set.

ST166: A high-probability game number counter is set to a predetermined number N (the number of games in which a high-probability game can be played). Here, for example, N is set to 50.

ST167: "Hip-Hip-Hip"
If not, place one of the winning lines
It is determined whether or not the picture combinations shown in the “Composition of winning combinations” column are completed.

If not, see FIG. 7, S
If an internal winning flag corresponding to any winning combination has been set at T156, it is reset. However,
If the internal winning flag of the high-probability game, the special game, or the special game has been set, the set state of the internal winning flag is maintained without resetting until the next game is won.

ST168: Processing corresponding to each winning combination is performed. Basically, a code indicating the winning combination that won the prize (hereafter,
(A winning code) is set in the RAM 319 of the control unit. Thereby, in ST133 of FIG. 6, the number of medals corresponding to the set winning code is paid out,
Thereafter, the set winning code is reset. Then, the internal winning flag corresponding to the winning combination, which has been set in ST156 in FIG. 7, is reset.

When "Red Seven" or "Blue Seven" is completed (when a special game (for example, a big bonus) is won) or when "BAR" is completed (for a special game (for example, a regular bonus)) If you win),
In addition to the processing related to the winning codes described above, preparations are made for starting a special game or a special game from the next game.

The processing for each of the winning combinations in ST167 and ST168 is simplified for the sake of simplicity, but the processing corresponding to each of the winning combinations is performed.

According to the above-described processing, when a high-probability game is internally won in the lottery table transfer lottery of ST147 in FIG.
At T149, the high-probability game internal winning flag is set, and in this way, in ST130 of FIG. 6, reel stop control is performed so that "Hip-Hip-Hip" can be easily aligned on the pay line.

Then, “Hip-Hip-Hip” is displayed on the winning line.
−Hip ”(FIG. 8, ST163, Yes), S
At T165, the high-probability game state flag is set, and the high-probability game is performed for N times from the next game (S in FIG. 7).
T140 to ST143 → ST184, FIG. 8, ST160
→ Until ST161 becomes Yes).

If the lottery table transfer lottery in FIG. 7 and ST147 does not win the high-probability game internally, ST
In accordance with the determination result of 151, the internal lottery is performed using either the low probability lottery table or the small winning high probability lottery table.

The present embodiment has the following effects.

The table is shifted to one of the high-probability game, the small-prize high-probability game, and the normal-probability game by the lottery.
The transfer probability differs depending on the lottery table currently used. For this reason, in a certain game state, it is difficult to shift to another game state, and in a certain game state, the game state is shifted to another game state with an equal probability to further improve the diversity of the game. Can be. In addition, by informing the player of the current game state and inferring the next transitioned game state to the player, the interest in the game can be further increased.

In the high-probability gaming state, no shift lottery of the lottery table is performed (ST141, No → ST142, S142).
After T143, the process proceeds to the internal lottery of ST154). Therefore, the high-probability game can be reliably executed N times.

In the above embodiment, three types of lottery tables, a "low probability lottery table", a "small win high probability lottery table", and a "high probability lottery table", are provided as the lottery tables. The type is not limited to this,
For example, there are two types of lottery tables, a “low-probability lottery table” and a “high-probability lottery table”, or four or more types of lottery tables with different internal winning probabilities for each winning combination.
One may be selected by a lottery table transfer lottery.

In addition, the “Hip-Hip-H” is always required only when the high probability game is internally won in ST148 in FIG.
It is not necessary to perform the reel stop control that can align the “ip”. In other words, "Hip-Hip-Hi" is displayed on the winning line despite the fact that the high probability game is not internally won.
p ”may be aligned.

If the high-probability game internal winning notification in ST150 of FIG. 7 is performed with a predetermined probability or is notified after the predetermined game has elapsed, the player can display “ When “Hip-Hip-Hip” is completed, it is possible to have a sense of expectation that a high-probability game has been won, thereby increasing interest in the game.

Further, the pattern combination of “Hip-Hip-Hip” can be used, for example, as a so-called reach eye (a pattern combination displayed only when a special game or a special game is internally won). That is, when the high-probability game is internally won (for example, when the high-probability game internal winning notification of ST150 in FIG. 7 is executed), “Hip-
If "Hip-Hip" is aligned, it means that the internal game has been elected to the high-probability game. It means that you have won. At this time, the high-probability game internal winning notification of ST150 in FIG. 7 is performed with a predetermined probability, or a notification is made after the predetermined game has elapsed, so that when the “Hip-Hip-Hip” is completed, the high probability It is possible to give the player a sense of expectation as to whether the player has won a game or whether a special game or a special game has been internally won.

[Modification 1 of the present embodiment] In the above-described embodiment, the lottery table transfer lottery is performed when either the small combination high probability lottery table or the low probability lottery table is used. The lottery table transfer lottery is not executed after the internal winning of the high probability lottery table in the lottery table until the high probability game is started and during the use of the high probability lottery table).
When "Hip-Hip" is completed, the lottery table transfer lottery may be performed, and the internal lottery after the next game may be performed using the lottery table determined thereby.

[Modification 2 of the present embodiment] In the above-described embodiment, the transition probability is changed according to the type of the lottery table currently used, but it is irrelevant to the type of the lottery table currently used. Alternatively, a lottery table transfer lottery may be performed according to a predetermined fixed transfer probability.

[Modification 3 of the present embodiment] The number of games of the high-probability game is set to N, but, for example, 10
Times, 30 times, 40 times, 50 times, and a plurality of game times are determined in advance, and when a high probability game is internally won, or
When “Hip-Hip-Hip” is completed, a game number lottery may be performed, and a high-probability game may be performed during the game number selected in the lottery.

[Modification 4 of this embodiment] The high probability game internal winning flag is abolished, and the start condition of the high probability game is set to "Hip
-Hip-Hip ", and not when the pattern combination is completed, but in each game, the table transfer lottery in FIG.
The game may shift to any of the high-probability game, the small-prize high-probability game, and the low-probability game.

In this case, ST140 to ST14 in FIG.
3, if ST145 is deleted, and if YES is determined in ST148, a high-probability lottery table is obtained, and then ST15.
Proceed to 4. Also, ST160 to ST166 in FIG. 8 are deleted.

[Fifth Modification of the Embodiment] When the high probability game is won in the fourth modification, when the high probability game is to be continued N times, ST140 to ST143 in FIG. 7 are not deleted.
Only ST145 is deleted, and if Yes in ST148, a process of setting a high probability state flag and setting N to a high probability game number counter is performed. At this time, it may be notified that the game has shifted to a higher probability game. And ST15
Proceed to 4. Also, in FIG. 8, ST163 to ST1
Step 66 is deleted.

[Other Embodiments] In addition to the above embodiments, the following embodiments according to the present invention are possible.

(1) As shown in FIG. 9, a plurality of special game modes at the time of a high-probability game are prepared. Then, when the internal game is won in the high-probability game in ST148 of FIG. 7, the game mode of the special game in the high-probability game is selected by lottery based on the random number acquired in ST123 of FIG. May be determined.

(2) For example, a predetermined number of games (for example, 50
When a predetermined pattern (for example, “Hip”) has been prepared a predetermined number of times (for example, seven times) during the predetermined times, the predetermined number of games (for example, 50 times)
), A high-probability game may be played.

(3) A plurality of lottery tables having different winning probabilities for each winning combination are prepared. For example, lottery tables 1, 2,
3 and 4 are prepared, and it is assumed that the winning probability of each winning combination is set to be the lowest in the lottery table 1 and the winning probability is set to be higher in the following order. Then, a specific pattern combination (for example, “Hi
p-Hip-Hip ") on the winning line,
The lottery table 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 may be shifted.

(4) "Hip-Hip-
The low-probability lottery table and the high-probability lottery table may be switched alternately each time "Hip" is completed. In this case, at the time of the high-probability game, the player sets “Hip-Hip-
There is a game property that the stop button is pressed so that the patterns of "Hip" are not aligned.

(5) For example, "Hip-Hip-Hi
"p" and "watermelon-watermelon-watermelon" as common flags (common winning combination), and when "Hip-Hip-Hip" is complete, a high-probability lottery table is selected, and "watermelon-watermelon-watermelon"", The low probability lottery table is selected. In addition, when a winning combination of “Hip” / “watermelon” is internally won, a lottery may be used to determine which one becomes a pattern for selecting the high-probability lottery table.

(6) A plurality of lottery tables each having a different winning combination with a high winning probability are prepared in advance, and an internal winning is performed for a small winning other than the small winning with a high winning probability by an internal lottery using the current lottery table. In that case, the process may shift to another lottery table.

(7) For example, a special game, a special game, a so-called challenge time period, a replay time period, a stock time period, etc. (hereinafter referred to as a special game, etc.)
Is ended and the general game is started, and the game shifts to the high probability lottery table for a predetermined number of games, and thereafter returns to the low probability lottery table. In addition, the number of games of the high-probability game is previously set to a plurality (for example, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 times).
The number of games may be determined at the end of the special game, and the process may be shifted to the high-probability lottery table during the number of games won.

(8) When a special game or a special game is internally won (when the process is shifted to a so-called pattern game), the process proceeds to the high-probability lottery table.

(9) A plurality of lottery tables having different winning probabilities for each winning combination are prepared. For example, lottery tables 1, 2,
3 and 4 are prepared, and it is assumed that the winning probability of each winning combination is set to be the lowest in the lottery table 1 and the winning probability is set to be higher in the following order. Then, the number of games from the time when the special game or the like is completed and the general game is started is as follows: 1st to 10th games → lottery table 1 11th to 50th games → lottery table 2 51st to 200th games → lottery table 3 Switch from 201 to 500 games → lottery table 4.

<Modification of the above (9)> Each time a predetermined number of games (for example, 100 games) has elapsed since the end of the special game or the like and the start of the general game, a high probability lottery table and a low probability The lottery table may be switched alternately.

(10) When using the low-probability lottery table, a high-probability lottery table selection lottery is performed, and when a win is made, an internal lottery is performed using the high-probability lottery table. In addition, while performing the internal lottery using the high probability lottery table, each game and punk lottery are performed, and when the punk lottery is won, the process returns to the low probability lottery table. (Example) High probability lottery table selection lottery winning probability → 1/3
00 Punch lottery winning probability → 1/150 (11) Prepare a plurality of lottery tables with different winning probabilities for each winning combination. For example, the lottery tables 1, 2, 3, and 4 are prepared, and the lottery table 1 has the lowest winning probability of each winning combination,
Hereinafter, it is assumed that the winning probability is set to be higher in order.
At the time of each game and internal lottery, which lottery table is determined by lottery (lottery table shift lottery), and the transition probability of the lottery table shift lottery used for the next game is changed according to the reel stop pattern. The lottery table transfer lottery is performed every game.

(Example) Outcome pattern 1: A combination of 7 and replay on any one of the winning lines, for example, "7-rep-lip", "lip-7-
7 ”,“ Rip-7-Rip ”, etc. Appears at the time of "losing" as a result of the internal lottery. The same applies to the following.

Transition probability to lottery table 1: 3/8 Transition probability to lottery table 2: 3/8 Transition probability to lottery table 3: 1/8 Transition probability to lottery table 4: 1/8 2: When a combination of BAR and watermelon is aligned on any of the winning lines, the probability of transition to lottery table 1: 2/8 The probability of transition to lottery table 2: 2/8 The probability of transition to lottery table 3: 2 / 8 Probability of moving to lottery table 4: 2/8 Rolling pattern 3: 7 and BAR on any of the winning lines
When the combination of is completed, the transition probability to the lottery table 1: 1/8 The transition probability to the lottery table 2: 1/8 The transition probability to the lottery table 3: 3/8 The transition probability to the lottery table 4: 3/8 <Modification of the above (11)> As described above, the transition probability may be varied as described above depending on the winning combination instead of the stop pattern. For example, when a prize is won in the replay, the transition probability of the lottery table transfer lottery in the next game is set to be the same as that of the first appearance pattern.
In the same manner as described above, when a watermelon is won, the transition probability of the lottery table transition lottery in the next game may be set to be the same as the appearance pattern 3.

(12) A plurality of lottery tables including a plurality of group winning combinations are prepared, and the winning probability of each group winning combination is made different in each lottery table. Then, each game, one of the lottery tables is selected with a predetermined probability.
In addition, in each game, when one of the group winning combinations is internally won, which pattern combination of the winning group winning combination is preferentially drawn is determined by lottery.

(Example) Group winning prize A: Fruit 1 (8
), Fruit 3 (10) Group Winner B: Fruit 2 (15), Fruit 4
(12 pieces) Of the group winning combination A and the group winning combination B, for example, the lottery table 1 in which the winning probability of the group winning combination A is higher than that of the group winning combination B, and the winning of the group winning combination B than the group winning combination A Lottery table 2 with high probability,
Prepare each. Then, for each game, which lottery table to use is determined by lottery. The selection ratio is
It may be fixed or variable.

Further, a game mode A in which the pull-in control of fruit 1 and fruit 2 is prioritized and a game mode B in which pull-in control of fruit 3 and fruit 4 are provided, and a mode selection lottery for selecting one of the modes is also provided. Play every game.

(13) The following three lottery tables are prepared in advance. <Lottery Table 1>: The probability of winning a special game is 1/300
(However, the game mode of the special game is, for example, the game mode A of FIG.
<Lottery Table 2>: The probability of winning a special game is 1/200
(However, the game mode of the special game is, for example, the game mode B in FIG. 9)
<Lottery Table 3>: Winning probability of special game is 1/100
(However, the game mode of the special game is, for example, the game mode C in FIG. 9)
Note that, in the lottery tables 1 to 3, the winning probabilities of winning combinations other than the special game are the same.

Then, the player designates one of the three lottery tables, and the gaming table performs an internal lottery using the designated lottery table.

Although the above-described embodiments and their modifications have been described with a combination of a specific lottery table change condition and a specific game mode, the game can be further executed by executing various combinations of different embodiments and variations. And these are also included in the present invention.

Further, the present invention is to change the lottery table used during the general game in order to diversify during the general game. The conditions are not limited to the above embodiment. Even if they are not aligned, a condition where a specific pattern stops at a specific position or a case where a predetermined pattern stops at a specific position in order may be a condition, and these are also included in the present invention.

Further, the lottery table used during the general game of the present invention may be changed in accordance with a special game or a predetermined condition in the special game, and these are also included in the present invention.

Embodiment 2 Next, referring to FIGS. 10 and 11,
A method according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention for suppressing the number of payouts during a predetermined game will be described. Note that the basic configuration and basic operation (main flow) of the gaming table follow the above-described embodiment.

FIG. 10 is a block diagram of the RAM 3 of the control unit shown in FIG.
18 is a diagram schematically illustrating a part of a storage area in FIG.

In the storage area shown in FIG.
In the past 400 games from the present, the number of inserted IN (n)
And the number of payouts OUT (n), information BN (n) indicating whether or not a special game has been won, and information RN (n) indicating whether or not a special game has been won for each game. It is remembered.

Here, the value of n indicates, for example, the number of games since power-on. In addition, IN (n) indicates the number of inserts of the nth game, and OUT (n) indicates the number of payouts of the nth game. Further, the values of BN (n) and RN (n) are “1” when a special game or a special game is won in the n-th game.
And if no prize is won, it is "0". here,
The payout number OUT (n) of a game when a special game or a special game is won is the number of payouts when a special game or a winning combination that starts the special game is won.

The data in each game after the 401st game are sequentially overwritten on the oldest storage area as shown in FIGS. 10 (b) and 10 (c).

Next, FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a storage area of various variables used in the RAM 318 to suppress the number of payouts during a predetermined game.

In this figure, the total number of inserted coins from the current game shown in FIG. 10 to the past 400 games shown in FIG. 10 is sequentially calculated and stored for each game in the section inserted number ToIN. Similarly, the section payout number ToOT includes the past 40
The total value of the number of payouts during the 0 games is the total number of times the special game has been won during the last 400 games in the section special game prize number ToBN, and the total number of times the special games have been won during the last 400 games in ToRB. Are sequentially calculated and stored for each game.

That is, until 400 games elapse after the power is turned on, the total number of inserted and paid-out cards from the first game to the current game is ToIN, T
In the oOT, after the 401st game, the total value of the inserted number and the paid-out number during the past 400 games is calculated and stored from the game for each game. For example, if the current game is the 402th game, as shown in FIG. 10 (c), ToIN and ToOT are the total of the number of coins and the number of payouts from the third game to the 402th game, respectively. The value is stored.

Here, the storage counter SCt specifies the storage area in which the various data shown in FIG. 10 is stored by its value. The initial value is 0, and is incremented by one each time a game is played. And
When counting up to 399, the value becomes 0 again in the next game, and thereafter, 0 to 399 are repeatedly counted according to the number of executed games. However, during the special game and during the special game, the value of SCt is not updated because the storage counter is not operated. The storage counter SCt may be provided in the CPU 310 or the like as hardware, or may use a predetermined area in the RAM 318 for that purpose.

The section net increase PuOI is an area in which the total net increase in a predetermined section (here, during the past 400 games) is stored, and is calculated for each game by the following formula.

PuOI = 450 × (ToBN + 1) + 112 × ToRN + (ToOT−ToIN) (1) In the above equation (1), the constant 450 indicates a net increase in number that can be obtained in one special game, and the constant 112 is This shows the net increase in number that can be obtained in one special game.

The section payout rate PoDE is an area in which the total payout rate during the past 400 games is stored, and is calculated for each game by the following formula.

PoDE = {(450 + α) × (ToBN + 1) + (112 + β) × ToRN + ToOT} / ToIN (2) In the equation (2), the constant α indicates the number of cards inserted during the special game. That is, since the value of 450 is a net increase in number during the special game, the number of payouts during the special game can be obtained by adding the number of inserted cards α during the special game. Similarly, the constant β
Indicates the number of cards inserted during the special game, and the number of payouts during the special game can be obtained by adding the net increase number (112) that can be obtained by the special game.

The various data shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 are all cleared when the power is turned on.

In the above description, the storage counter is not operated during the special game and the special game. However, the storage counter is operated during the special game and the special game, and the special game and the special game are performed. The number of games played, the number inserted, and the number paid out may be taken into consideration. In this case, the above-described PuOI and PuOI calculation formula (1),
(2) is as follows.

PuOI = ToOT−ToIN (1) ′ PoDE = ToOT / ToIN (2) ′ In the present embodiment, the section net addition number PuOI shown in FIG.
Section payout rate PoDE and section special game winning number T
The payout number in a predetermined section is managed based on the value of oBN. Further, the number of payouts in a predetermined section is suppressed by comparing each of the above-mentioned values with a predetermined threshold value corresponding to each of the values.

For example, when it is desired to suppress the net increase in number during the past 400 games to, for example, 2400, the threshold value is set to 2400. Done, 24
While the number exceeds 00, the internal lottery is performed using the low-probability lottery table.

When it is desired to suppress the payout rate during the past 400 games to, for example, 3, the threshold value is set to 3, and the high-probability lottery table and the low-probability lottery table are determined by the magnitude relationship between this threshold value and the section payout rate PoDE. To switch.

Similarly, if it is desired to suppress the number of special game winnings during the past 400 games to, for example, four, the threshold is set to four.
The high-probability lottery table and the low-probability lottery table are switched according to the magnitude relationship between the threshold value and the section special game winning number ToBN.

Furthermore, the number of payouts in a predetermined section may be suppressed by a combination of the section net increase number PuOI, the section payout rate PoDE, and the section special game winning number ToBN. In this case, for example, when any one of the values of the section net increase number PuOI, the section payout rate PoDE, and the section special game winning number ToBN exceeds the corresponding threshold, the table is switched to the low probability lottery table. If all the values are equal to or less than the corresponding thresholds, the high probability lottery table is used. In addition, any one of the above-described section net increase number PuOI, section payout rate PoDE, and section special game winning number ToBN.
One or two may be appropriately selected, and the number of payouts in a predetermined section may be suppressed based on the selected value and the threshold.

In the above description, each threshold value is the target value to be suppressed. However, it is necessary to appropriately increase or decrease the threshold value according to the winning probability of each winning combination in the high probability lottery table and the low probability lottery table. There is.

In addition, while changing the lottery table based on the above-described calculation results using the number of coins inserted, the number of coins paid out, the number of special game winnings, and the number of special game winnings during a predetermined game, the following conditions are used. Alternatively, the lottery table may be changed.

(1) When the predetermined number of games has been reached. For example,
The number of games since the power of the gaming table was turned on, the number of games since the last special game or after the end of the special game, or the number of coins / payout / special game prize
For example, there is a case where the number of games has reached a predetermined number since the lottery table was changed based on the calculation result using the number of special game winnings.

(2) When the payout rate has reached a predetermined value: The payout rate referred to here is a predetermined number of games (however, a smaller number of games than the predetermined games (here 400 games)) ) The payout rate for each may be used. The predetermined value may be set in advance as, for example, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 or the like, but is lower than a threshold value corresponding to the section payout rate PoDE. It is preferable to set.

(3) When a predetermined pattern combination is aligned on the winning line. Here, the predetermined pattern combination may be, for example, a pattern combination corresponding to a specific winning combination among the winning combinations, or a predetermined pattern combination not corresponding to any winning combination. A pattern combination may be used.

(4) When a predetermined time has elapsed. Here, the “time” of the predetermined time includes, for example, a time from when the power of the game console is turned on, a time from when all the reels are stopped to when a next medal is inserted, and the like.

(5) When the number of times the pattern combinations corresponding to the internally won winning combinations have not been aligned reaches a predetermined number.

The lottery table may be changed by appropriately combining the various conditions (1) to (5), or may be combined with the lottery table changing method of the first embodiment.

As described above, according to the second embodiment, the number of medals to be paid out during a predetermined game can be controlled while diversifying the game during a general game.

By selecting a lottery table by variously combining the various lottery table changing methods described in the first and second embodiments, it is possible to diversify the game and increase the gambling. It is included in the invention.

[0148]

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a game console that diversifies the game during a general game and increases gambling, thereby increasing a player's interest in the game console.
