Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a combination game machine such as a sparrow ball game machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a sparrow ball game machine has been disclosed in JP-A-7-16.
As described in JP-A-332-332, after displaying 14 hand tiles on a hand tile display section, unnecessary tiles unnecessary for the formation of a winning combination are automatically selected and cut off.

In this sparrow ball game machine, 14 hand tiles are displayed on the hand tile display section by the automatic tile arrangement function of the game control means, and the winning combination determination means determines the success or failure of the winning combination. If it is not established, the unnecessary tile cut-off means is operated to automatically select and cut off unnecessary tiles unnecessary for the formation of the winning combination, and thereafter, the launching means can launch game balls. When the game ball enters any one of the entrances, the tile design corresponding to the entrance is displayed on the hand tile display section, and the winning combination determination means determines the success or failure of the winning combination. One game is performed while repeating the same operation up to a predetermined number of 10 times as an upper limit.

[0004]

In the conventional sparrow ball game machine, every time 14 hand tiles are arranged on the hand tile display unit, the unnecessary tile cut-off means operates up to 10 times, and the hand tile display unit displays. Unnecessary tiles unnecessary for the winning combination are automatically selected from the displayed tiles and cut off. Therefore, the player does not need to judge unnecessary tiles in each case while considering the possibility of winning or losing a winning combination, and a player who does not know Mahjong or the like can play a game relatively easily. Therefore, the game ball is only fired to the game area of the game board, and for a player familiar with mahjong or the like, there is a problem that the game becomes very monotonous and lacks interest.

In other words, when the player is not familiar with mahjong, although the game automatically proceeds, it is determined whether the game is proceeding toward the formation of a winning combination, or when the winning combination is formed. In addition, there is a problem in that it is impossible to grasp the degree of the difficulty, and even if a winning combination with a high degree of difficulty is established, the difficulty cannot be realized and the interest is low.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and has as its object to provide a combination gaming machine capable of improving the interest of a player.

[0007]

According to the present invention, a game ball is fired in a game area 11 with a predetermined number as an upper limit, and a combination of a prize mark corresponding to the entrance 14 into which the game ball has entered is determined by the player.

Determines the start of the game, the number of medals stored in the medal storage number display means 50 is decremented by one, the game start state is displayed on the liquid crystal display means 40 by the output from the game control means 58, and the automatic distribution of the game control means 58 is performed. The tile display process is performed by the tile means 59.

As shown in FIG. 6B, a predetermined display appears on the wind display means 47 and the like on the liquid crystal display means 40.
On the hand tile display means 43, the tiles are displayed at the 14 tile display positions in a state where the tiles are turned over. Then, when a certain time has elapsed from this state, the tiles are automatically arranged in order from the left by the tile arrangement display processing of the automatic tile arrangement means 59.

The tile arrangement display processing is performed in the following order. That is, when a start signal is input to the game control means 58, initialization for clearing all of the tile arrangement extraction data, tile arrangement display data, and storage position data is performed. And 1-2
27 kinds of random numbers up to 7 are input at appropriate timing, and the corresponding tile distribution extraction data is referred to by the random number value.
At this time, it is determined whether or not four pieces of tile distribution extraction data have already been extracted. This is because there are only four identical tiles used in mahjong, so that they match.

If four tile distribution data have already been extracted, a random number is input again and the same processing is performed. If the four tile placement extraction data has not been extracted yet, 1 is added to the tile placement extraction data, and then the position of the tile placement display data to be stored is determined from the storage position data, and obtained by a random number value. The obtained tile distribution data is stored in the corresponding tile distribution display data.

After adding 1 to this storage position data, 1
It is determined whether or not four tiles are determined, and the same processing is continued until all 14 tiles are stored. Then, all tiles are stored and tile display processing is completed. I do.

The tile display processing is performed by the game control means 5.
When the automatic tile distribution means 59 of FIG. 8 is used, each tile displayed in a state of being turned upside down at each tile display position of the hand tile display portion of the display screen, as shown in FIGS. 6 (C) to (F). At regular intervals (approximately 0.3-0.5 seconds) from left to right
The number of the tiles is turned back to four, four, two, and the tile arrangement can be confirmed to the player.

After a certain period of time (about 0.5 second to 1 second) has elapsed after the tiles at the last two tile display positions have returned, FIG.
As shown in (A), the tiles at each tile display position are rearranged in an order having a certain regularity so that the player can easily make a winning combination. There are 27 types of tiles displayed at each tile display position corresponding to each entrance 14 of the game board 5, and the maximum number of the symbols is four.

Next, the winning combination determination means 6 of the game control means 58
0 determines whether or not a winning combination is established by the hand tiles of the hand tile display means 43. If a winning combination is already established, the combination determination is performed, the score is calculated, and the winning combination display means is determined. The winning combination is displayed at 46 and the score is displayed on the score display means 51, respectively, and the medal payout means 38 performs payout processing of medals according to the score, and one game is completed.

If the winning combination has not been established, the tempai judging means 62 of the game control means 58 judges whether the game is in the tempai state based on the hand tiles displayed on the hand tile display means 43. Then, in the case of the tempai state, the feasible combination determining means 63 determines from the combination of the hand tiles of the hand tile display means 43,
All possible possible combinations are determined, and the difficulty determining means 64 determines the difficulty of the possible combination, and the possible combination display means 48 and the difficulty level display means 49 determine the difficulty of the possible combination.
The possible combinations and their difficulty levels are displayed in association with each other.

At this time, the possible combination display means 48 and the difficulty level display means 49 check the possible combination and the difficulty level for all of the hand tiles displayed on the hand tile display means 43. In this case, all the possible combinations are displayed and notified by the possible combination display means 48 and the difficulty level display means 49. Therefore, when the player enters the tempai state, based on the combination of the hand tiles at that time, the player can easily grasp the possible winning combinations and the difficulty of the possible winning combinations, and The game can be played while grasping the game content from possible roles and difficulty levels.

When the player selects the automatic game with the manual automatic changeover switch 18, the automatic combination changing means 66 becomes operable. Therefore, if the player operates the possible combination combination selection switch 19, the cursor moves up and down along the possible combination combination displayed on the possible combination combination display means 48, and the possible combination at the cursor position is selected. You. Thereby, the combination automatic changing means 66
Reads the possible combination and operates as follows.

That is, the automatic combination changing means 66 first automatically determines unnecessary tiles unnecessary for establishing the selected possible combination from the tiles displayed on the tile display means 43. Also, the waiting tile necessary for the formation of the possible combination is determined. Then, the unnecessary tiles are deleted from the hand tile display means 43 and cut off, and the waiting tiles are displayed on the waiting tile display means 45.

When the automatic combination changing means 66 deletes unnecessary tiles, one game ball in the standby passage 24 is supplied to the firing means 8, and the firing means 8 can fire one game ball. The game ball is fired aiming at the entrance 14 so that the game ball enters the entrance 14 to which the same tile as the waiting tile of the waiting tile display means 45 is attached. Then, when the game ball enters one of the entrances 14, a tile corresponding to the entrance 14 is displayed on the tile display section 43a.

Until the firing means 8 fires the upper limit of 10 game balls, the unnecessary tiles can be cut off and the game balls can be hit again by the same operation. However, when the player operates the reach switch 56, the tile display section 43a
Are processed as unnecessary tiles. Note that the combination automatic changing means 66 performs processing such as determining unnecessary tiles according to a predetermined program so that a combination of a head, a stitch, and an inscription is established in a state other than the tempered state.

When the player selects a possible combination as described above, the automatic combination changing means 66 automatically deletes unnecessary tiles, and then the firing means 8 can fire one game ball. For this reason, the player only has to aim the waiting tile of the waiting tile display means 45 and shoot the game ball to the game area 11 by the firing means 8, and easily perform the subsequent game toward the formation of the selected possible combination. It can be carried out. Therefore, even a player who is not familiar with mahjong can play the game while grasping the possible combinations and the difficulty levels thereof, and the interest of the player in playing the sparrow ball is improved.

When the player selects the manual game with the manual automatic changeover switch 18, the manual combination changing means 65 becomes operable. Then, when the player operates the joystick lever 16 in the left and right direction, the cut tile selection switch 54 is turned on, and the cursor below the tile display position of the hand tile display means 43 moves left and right. After aligning with the lower side of the tile, joystick lever 1
6 is operated downward to turn on the cut tile determination switch 55. Then, a tile determination signal is input to the game control means 58, and unnecessary tiles are discarded and the processing shifts to re-strike. In this way, the player can select either automatic or manual according to his own judgment.

The winning combinations and their points are as follows. Land warriors, Kurenbao, Daisanyuan, Shikiwa, all-color,
10 points for the old man and 4 Kongs, 2 points for the two cups, 4 times for the darkness, 3 points for the whole zone and 3 points for the whole zone and 3 points for the small Sanyuan, 7 pairs, 2 zones for the whole zone and the whole zone, 9 points for the renunciation, peace One cup, one cup, three shades, one color, and one level up. However, the maximum total score in one game is 10.

FIG. 7 illustrates a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the automatic combination changing means 66
Are operated under conditions preset by the game program.

The automatic combination changing means 66 is provided one step before the winning combination is established, for example, when the tempai judgment means 62 judges that the hand tiles of the hand tile display means 43 are in the tempai state, If there are a plurality of possible combinations at that time, a plurality of difficulty levels are provided on condition that the player performs a reach operation such as operating a reach switch 56. The highest possible (or highest) possible combination is selected, and if there is no reach operation, the lowest difficulty (or lowest) possible combination is selected. The manual combination changing means 65 does not operate if there is a temporary signal from the temporary determining means 62. Other configurations are the same as in the first embodiment.

As described above, the automatic combination changing means 66
May be operated based on a condition such as a temper set in advance by a control program. In this case, if there is a reach operation of the player, a possible role having a high difficulty level is selected, and if the reach operation is performed, a possible role having a low difficulty level is selected, and a game based on each of the feasible roles is selected. Progresses.

FIG. 8 illustrates a third embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the automatic combination changing means 66 selects a possible role having high difficulty, such as a national warrior, a great ternary, etc., and when the winning combination with high difficulty is realized, a predetermined combination after the game is over. The profit state generating means 70 generates a profit state advantageous to the player over the number of games (for example, 10 times).

The profit state generating means 70, for example, at the time of automatic tile arrangement by the automatic tile arrangement means 59, arranges tiles such that a highly difficult winning combination is relatively easily established or a state where a predetermined winning combination is established. And tiles are distributed.
In this way, the possibility that the player can obtain the score is increased, and the interest of the player in the game is further improved.

In this embodiment, in addition to the case where the automatic combination changing means 66 selects the highly possible winning combination, and the case where the highly difficult winning combination is controlled by the control of the manual combination changing means 65, , Profit state generating means 7
