Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game machine, a program and a recording medium which are used by being installed in a game room such as a pachinko parlor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A slot machine installed and used in a game arcade such as a pachinko parlor is called a pachislot machine, and a medal used as a game medium is given a certain value to play a game (game). The medals obtained through the exchange can be exchanged for various prizes. For this reason, it is common for a player to play a game only for the purpose of obtaining a large amount of medals, and to select a platform that is easily probabilistically easy to obtain a right to play a bonus game. . The slot machine has a structure in which the reels are driven by a stepping motor, and determines whether or not the winning is performed and the type thereof by electronic lottery based on sampling of random numbers, and performs stop control of the reels in response to the determination. Therefore, it is possible to adjust the occurrence probability of the winning by the electronic lottery in a software manner so as to create a state in which the winning can be easily obtained, and use this to play a bonus game. In addition, in this specification, since a pachislot machine is described as an example,
Although medals are used as game media, game media include other media such as coins and pachinko balls. "Inserting medals (game media)" also includes betting credited medals with a bet button or the like.

[0003] Examples of the bonus game include a game performed by shifting to a big bonus (hereinafter, BB) mode and a game performed by shifting to a regular bonus (hereinafter, RB) mode. This can be done by winning the winning combination BB and RB.

[0004] For example, the shift to the RB mode is performed when the pattern of the reel is aligned to "BAR-BAR-BAR".
The game is played with a medal bet, and the game ends with winning a maximum of 8 times or playing a maximum of 12 games. In addition, when shifting to the BB mode, the picture of the reel is changed to, for example, “7-
The game in the BB mode is repeated two to three times in the BB mode. Further, in the BB mode, there is a case in which a right to bet on one to three medals with a high winning probability and playing a game is given before shifting to the RB mode. When the winning (bonus in) pattern is completed, the mode shifts to the RB mode. When a game in the RB mode or the BB mode is performed, a larger number of medals can be obtained as compared with the game in the normal mode. In addition,
In the present specification, winning a reel pattern corresponding to a winning combination is referred to as a prize, and a state in which a winning combination is drawn by electronic lottery in a state before winning is referred to as an internal prize.

[0005] Against this background, the mode of the bonus game and the bonus game mode within a range that does not impair the profits of the amusement arcade are provided so that even the side that manufactures the slot machine can attract many players. We are developing something that elaborates on the conditions for shifting to. Then, there is a tendency to increase opportunities to be able to play a bonus game, and to provide a game characterized by the possibility that a player can acquire a larger amount of medals in a short period of time at least in a stochastic manner.

[0006] As a kind of pachislot machine having a possibility of obtaining a large number of medals in a short period of time, a game machine provided with a storage game mode (hereinafter, stock time mode) is currently installed in a game arcade. In the stock time mode, for example, a transition from the normal mode is performed on condition that the BB winning is internally won, and the ending condition is that the game is played a specified number of times or the internally winning BB winning is won.

[0007] In this stock time mode, the BB or RB that has won internally can be carried over after the next game. Therefore, if the winning BB or RB is not won during the stock time mode, the winning BB or RB is stored (stocked) in the order of the internal winning. Then, after playing the specified number of games and ending the stock time mode,
The player sequentially wins the stored BBs or RBs in the order in which they have been won. In the game under the stock time mode, BB
Alternatively, when many RBs are stocked, the bonus game can be repeatedly performed after the stock time mode ends. For this reason, the stock time mode can greatly enhance the interest of the player, and the player plays the game while having a great expectation of obtaining a large number of medals.

[0008]

However, some gaming machines equipped with the stock time mode as described above do not display the numbers of actually stored BBs and RBs in order to improve the game characteristics. There is. In this case, there is a problem that when the power of the slot machine is forcibly turned off due to an unexpected trouble or the like when the game arcade is closed, there is no means for confirming the number of stocked bonus games. For this reason, there is a problem that a bonus for the stocked amount cannot be guaranteed at the game hall, and the operating rate immediately before closing the store is affected.

The present invention provides a gaming machine which displays the number of stored bonus games when the power is turned on, and which can improve the guarantee, service and the like at a game arcade, and a program and a recording medium therefor. The purpose is to do.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above object, a gaming machine of the present invention responds to operation of winning combination determination means for determining a winning combination by lottery at the start of each game and reel stop means. And reel control means for controlling the reel to stop so that the pattern constituting the winning combination determined by the winning combination determining means is stopped on the pay line, and a special winning combination not obtained when the reel is stopped is stored. A special winning combination storing means, wherein when a special winning combination in which a bonus in a game is larger than a normal game is drawn by the winning combination determining means, the selected special winning combination which has been won is stored in the special role storing means. The special winning combination storing means is provided with a storage number display means for displaying the number of special winning combinations stored in the special winning combination storing means, and an operation provided inside the apparatus. When performing the operation of the timber, and the when the special winning combination has been stored in a special winning combination storage means, in which the reserved number was set to be displayed for a predetermined time to the reserved number display means. Note that, in the stock time mode, it is possible to make it easier to win either a small winning combination with a lower added value than the special winning combination or a re-gaming combination that performs a re-game without using a game medium.

The special winning combination is constituted by at least two or more types of winning combinations having different values from each other, and when the highest value winning combination among the special winning combinations is won by the winning combination determining means. Then, the mode shifts to the stock time mode.

The program includes a means for determining a winning combination by lottery at the start of each game, a means for stopping the reels, and a reel for stopping the picture constituting the determined winning combination on the winning line. In addition to the means for performing stop control and the means for storing special winning combinations that were not obtained when the reel was stopped, when a special winning combination in which the bonus in the game is larger than the normal game is drawn, Means for making it easier to win either a small role with a lower added value than the special winning role or a replaying role that replays without using a game medium, a stock that can store the winning special winning role Means for shifting to the time mode, and means for displaying the number of special winning combinations stored for a predetermined time when a specific input signal is received and when a special winning combination is stored. One in which the functioning of the computer. The storage medium stores the above program and can be read by a computer.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As shown in FIG. 1, a slot machine 3 has a stock time mode in addition to a normal mode, a BB mode and an RB mode which are shifted when BB and RB which are special winning combinations are won. Is set. In the stock time mode, the BB is to be internally won in a game in the normal mode, and the game in the stock time mode has reached a predetermined number of games or the internally won BB is won. This is the termination condition. Then, in the game under the stock time mode, a lottery for the presence or absence of BB and RB is performed, and if BB or RB is won, and if it is carried over, the BB or RB is stored in the winning order. Then, when the number of games reaches the specified number of games or when a BB is won, the stored BB and RB can be won based on the winning order.

The slot machine 3 has a front door 4
Display windows 6 to 9 are provided, and a first display window is provided at the back of each display window.
A reel 10a, a second reel 10b, a third reel 10c, and a sub reel 11 are rotatably incorporated. As is well known, various pictures are arranged at a constant pitch on the outer circumference of the first to third reels 10a to 10c, and three pictures per reel are observed through the corresponding display windows when the reels are stopped. . As a result, three straight horizontal pay lines, each of which is composed of one picture on each reel, are formed two diagonally.
A total of five books are set.

Prior to the start of the game, the medal slot 12
When one medal is inserted from, one central horizontal pay line is activated, two horizontal pay lines, and three horizontal pay lines, and three diagonal additional five pay lines are activated. In addition, it is possible to store up to 50 medals, and the number of stored medals is displayed on the credit indicator 13.

When the start lever 14 for starting a game is operated, the sub reels 11
0c, the BB win is started when the BB win flag for shifting to the BB mode is drawn in the electronic lottery at the time of operating the start lever 14, for example, and the "STO"
Stop control is performed at the position where the pattern of “CK TIME” is displayed. This indicates that the mode is shifted from the normal mode to the stock time mode. When the stock time mode ends, “BIG” is displayed to indicate that BB has been won. Similarly, when the RB winning flag is randomly selected in the game in the normal mode, “REG” is displayed.

Stop button 17 serving as reel stopping means
Various operation buttons such as a single bet button, a double bet button, a MAX bet button, and a payout button that are operated when playing a game with a medal credited are provided on the operation panel above a to 17c. Have been. Since the functions of these operation buttons are all well known, the details are omitted. Above the display windows 6 to 9, a storage number display window 19 serving as a storage number display means is provided, and the BB stored in the stock time mode is provided.
And RB as a display means for displaying the total number of RBs. In the storage number display window 19, the total number of BBs and RBs stored in the stock time mode is collectively displayed. However, the number of BBs and the number of RBs are separately displayed in this order. You may be able to.

As shown in FIG. 2, the operation of the slot machine 3 is basically controlled by a microcomputer including a CPU 21 and a memory 22. The medal sensor 24 detects a proper medal inserted from the medal insertion slot 12 and inputs the detected medal to the control unit 22a of the CPU 22. A selector is installed in the back of the medal insertion slot 12, and inappropriate medals are discharged to a medal tray 25. In addition, when a medal is inserted at inappropriate timing, for example, a medal inserted while the game is in progress or while various operation buttons are being pressed is not passed through the medal sensor 24. It is discharged to the medal tray 25 (see FIG. 1).

Since the number of medals inserted before the start of the game is limited to one to three, medals inserted after the fourth one are also detected by the medal sensor 24 when the credit function is not used. It is discharged to the medal tray 25 without being performed. The credit function is switched on / off for each push of the payout button. When the credit function is on, medals inserted after the fourth one are also detected by the medal sensor 24, and
Up to zero cards are stored in the slot machine 3. The number of stored medals is digitally displayed on the credit number display 13. When the credit function is used, a medal insertion operation is performed by operating the single bet button or the MAX bet button, and the number of bets is sequentially subtracted from the number of credits. When a win is obtained as a result of the game, a payout medal is also credited, and when the payout button is operated, the credited medal is paid out to the medal tray 25.

The control unit 22a determines the number of one to three medals inserted prior to the start of the game by using a medal sensor 24.
Counting based on the detection signal from the CPU, thereby determining the number of activated pay lines. The bet number of medals inserted each time the game is started is integrated and counted by the inserted medal counter 26. The number of credits is counted by another credit medal counter (not shown).

The start signal generator 28 inputs a game start signal to the control section 22a when the start lever 14 is operated after one to three medals have been inserted. Each time a game start signal is input, the count value of the game number counter 29 is incremented by “1”. Therefore, the number of games executed in the slot machine 3 can be identified by referring to the count value of the game number counter 29.

Upon receiving the game start signal, the control unit 22
“a” rotates the first to third reels 10 a to 10 c and the sub reel 11 based on the game execution program stored in the ROM area of the memory 23 and starts the game processing. The drive and stop control of each reel is performed by a reel drive controller 31. Each reel is fixed to the drive shaft of each of the stepping motors 32a to 32d, and the control of each reel is performed by controlling the drive of each of the stepping motors 32a to 32d. The RAM area of the memory 23 is a working area, and is used for temporary storage and rewriting of flags and data used for each game.

Since the stepping motors 32a to 32d rotate at a rotation angle corresponding to the number of supplied drive pulses, the control unit 22a controls the number of supplied drive pulses to control the first to third reels 10a to 10c and The rotation angle of the sub reel 11 can be controlled, and the stop position of the reel can be determined by stopping the supply of the drive pulse. In addition, each reel is integrally formed with reflection signal portions 33a to 33d at its reference position, and the photo sensors 34a to 34d photoelectrically detect the passage of each reflection signal portion 33 for each rotation. Photo sensor 34a
To 34d are input from the reset signal generator 35 to the control unit 22a as a reset signal for each reel.

Inside the control section 22a, a pulse counter is provided for each stepping motor, and counts the number of driving pulses supplied to each stepping motor.
Then, when the reset signal is input from the reset signal generator 35, the count value of the corresponding pulse counter is cleared. Therefore, in each pulse counter, the number of drive pulses corresponding to the rotation angle within one rotation of each reel is stored while being sequentially updated.

A picture table is stored in the ROM area of the memory 23. The picture table stores the number of drive pulses corresponding to the rotation angle from the reference position of each reel, and the picture patterns arranged on the reel at a constant pitch. Is associated with a picture code representing Therefore, by monitoring the count value of the pulse counter for each reel, it is possible to identify, for example, which pattern is moving on the central winning line, and to further rotate the reel, Can be predicted on the winning line.

The stop signal generator 36 inputs a stop signal for each reel to the control unit 22a when the stop buttons 17a to 17c are operated. Start lever 1
4 to start rotation of all reels, and when these rotations reach a steady speed, the stop buttons 17a to 17c
Operation is enabled. Then, by operating these, the corresponding first to third reels 10a to 10a to 1
0c stop control is started. As described above, the control unit 2
2a functions as reel control means. When the plurality of stop buttons 17a to 17c are operated, only the reel with the earlier timing stops, and when the stop buttons 17a to 17c are completely operated simultaneously, none of the reels stops.

The control section 22a operates the electronic lottery device 38 in response to the game start signal. The electronic lottery device 38 includes a random number generator and a random value sampling circuit, selects one random value every time the game is started, and determines a winning combination in the currently executed game according to the value. As described above, the control unit 22a, the winning combination determination unit 39, and the electronic lottery device 38 function as a winning combination determination unit.

The electronic lottery device 38 comprises a plurality of winning tables. The plurality of winning tables include a first winning table used for determining a winning combination in each game in the normal mode, a second winning table used under a game in which BB or RB is internally won, and each bonus game. There is a third winning table that is used in the mode and is used to determine a winning in the BB game or the RB game.
A winning signal indicating the type of the winning lottery selected by the electronic lottery device 38 is sent to the winning combination determining section 39, and the winning signal is fed back to the control section 22a. In addition, the electronic lottery device 3
8 and the winning combination determination unit 39 are included in the CPU 22.

The special winning combination storing section 40 is used in a stock time mode. As shown in FIG. 3, when a BB winning signal is input from the electronic lottery device 38 to the control unit 22a,
The control unit 22a inputs a storage signal to the special winning combination storing unit 40 from the game next to the BB-winning game. When the storage signal is input, in the special winning combination storing section 40, the count value of the game number counter section 42 is incremented by “1”, and the number of times the game is repeated in the stock time mode is counted. Then, a predetermined number of random number values are generated by the stock time mode random number generation section 43, and one random number value is randomly selected by the stock time mode random number sampling circuit 44.

Further, the random number value selected by lottery may be inputted to the replay winning probability table 45 to determine the type of the winning. Replay winning probability table 45
Then, BB winning, RB winning, small role winning, replay winning,
Random numbers are grouped into five types of losing groups. In particular, the random numbers are grouped such that the probability of winning a replay is higher than in the normal mode. Therefore, in the game in the stock time mode, it is easier to obtain a replay prize than in the game in the normal mode.

When the type of winning is determined in the second winning probability table or the replay winning high probability table 45, a winning signal is input to the stock time mode winning combination determining section 46, and the winning signal is sent to the control section 22a. Feedback will be given. If the determined winning type is BB or RB, the winning flag is written in the storage memory 47.
Note that the BB winning flag drawn in the game in the normal mode is also written in the storage memory 47. As described above, the control unit 22a and the storage memory 47 function as special winning combination storing means.

When the winning combination is won, the medal hopper 50 pays out the number of payout medals corresponding to the winning combination to the medal tray 26 or adds the specified number to the credit counter. A payout table in which the number of payout medals is determined for each type of winning combination is stored in the ROM of the memory 23.
The control unit 22a reads the data and drives the medal hopper 50.

As shown in FIG. 4, the initial setting input section 51 is provided inside the housing 4 and can be operated with the front door 5 opened. The initial setting input unit 51 includes a power switch 52 serving as a main power supply of the slot machine 3, a setting change button 55 for changing a setting after inserting a setting change key 53 into the cylinder 54, and BB mode ending. A slide switch 56 is provided which allows the user to select whether or not to stop at the point in time. When the operator at the game hall opens the front door 5 and turns on the power switch 52, the initial setting can be performed by appropriately operating the initial setting input unit 51. The change of the payout rate is performed by pressing the setting change button 54, and the payout rate can be changed between six stages. When the payout rate is changed, the group assignment of each winning table is also adjusted.

In order to check whether the special winning combination BB and RB are stored in the storage memory 47, the setting change key 53 inserted in the cylinder 54 is rotated to the ON position. The power switch 52 is turned on.
Thereby, only when BB and RB are stored,
The stored number can be displayed on the stored number display window 19 for a predetermined time. By rotating the setting change key 53 from the on position to the off position, each memory inside the slot machine 3 is initialized. Note that the operation procedure for displaying the stored number is such that the power switch 52 is turned on after the setting change key 53 is turned to the ON position, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a button for displaying the stored number may be used. A new winning combination is displayed in the storage number display window 19 by newly providing the power switch 52 while pressing the setting change button 55 or turning on the setting change button 55 for a predetermined time after the power switch 52 is turned on. May be displayed for a predetermined time. As described above, after the number of special winning combinations stored is displayed for a predetermined time, the display disappears. As a result, the original characteristic of the gaming machine is returned to that the stored number of the special winning combinations that are normally stocked is not displayed.

Next, the operation of the slot machine 3 configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When 1 to 3 medals are inserted before the start of the game, the number of medals is counted by the inserted medal counter. Thereafter, when the start lever is operated, a game start signal is input to the control unit 22a, and the count value of the game number counter is incremented by "1". In addition, the input of the game start signal causes the control unit 2
2a operates the reel drive controller 31, and the reel drive controller 31 controls the first to third reels 10a to 10c.
Then, the sub reels 11 are simultaneously rotated. At the same time, the electronic lottery device 38 samples the random number, and compares the value with the first winning table for the normal mode to determine the type of the winning combination.

At this time, when the BB winning is flag-lotted by the electronic lottery device 38, a BB winning signal is fed back to the control unit 22a. Then, the control unit 22a starts the stop control of the stepping motor 32d that is driving the sub reel 11, and sets the sub reel 11 to "STOCK TIM".
Stop control is performed to display "E". As a result, the player knows that the BB prize has won internally and that the game is shifted to the stock time mode from the next game. At this time, the selected BB winning flag is written in the storage memory 47.

When the start lever is operated at the start of each game in the stock time mode, the controller 22a
Inputs the storage signal to the special winning combination storing section 40. In the special winning combination storing unit 40, the count value of the game number counting unit 42 is incremented by “1”, and the winning combination is determined by the stock time mode random number generating unit 43, the stock time mode random number sampling circuit 44, and the replay winning high probability table 45. Is determined. Since the probability of replay winning is higher in the replay winning probability table 45 than in the first winning table, the player expects that the special winning flag will be drawn by lot while suppressing the consumption of medals compared to the base game. Can play games.

When the BB winning flag or the RB winning flag is randomly selected, these winning flags are stored in the storage memory 47.
Is written to. In the stock time mode, the ending condition is that the BB prize having an internal prize is determined or a predetermined number of games have been completed. Therefore, in the game under the stock time mode, the control unit 2
2a identifies the number of games in the stock time mode with reference to the number-of-games counter 29, and identifies whether or not patterns corresponding to the BB winning are aligned on the activated pay line. Then, when the control unit 22a identifies that either of these conditions is satisfied, the input of the storage signal to the special winning combination storing unit 40 ends.

When the end condition of the stock time mode is satisfied, the winning table is switched to the second winning table for winning inside the BB. Further, the control unit 22a drives the reel drive controller 31, rotates the sub reel 11, and displays "BIG". This allows the player to know that the stock time game has ended and that BB is in a state of winning internally.

Thereafter, when a medal is inserted and the start lever 14 is operated, the first to third reels 10a to 10a
c and the sub reel 11 start rotating at the same time. The control unit 22a refers to the storage memory 47, and writes the written B
The data of the B winning flag or the RB winning flag is read, and a display corresponding to the sub reel 11 (either “BIG” or “REG”) is performed. Thereafter, the operation of the stop buttons 17a to 17c is enabled, and the control unit 22a
Monitors the operation timing of the stop buttons 17a to 17c while referring to the count value of the above-described pulse counter provided for each reel, and performs the first operation so that BB is won.
To stop the third reels 10a to 10c.

When the player operates the stop buttons 17a to 17c to set "7-7-7", payout of the payout medals is performed, and the mode shifts to the BB mode. In the game in the BB mode, the winning table is switched to the second winning table, and it is easier to obtain a small winning combination than in the base game. In the BB mode, first, after inserting one to three medals, the game is started by operating the start lever 18.
In the BB mode, the RB mode is up to three times,
The normal game under the BB mode can be performed up to 30 times, and the BB mode ends when any of the number of times reaches the limit. In the RB mode, a maximum of eight wins or a maximum of twelve games can be played, and the game ends when any of the number of times is reached.

When the BB mode ends, the storage memory 47
If the BB winning flag or the RB winning flag is written in the BB or RB according to the writing order,
The control unit 22a controls the drive of each reel in accordance with the pressing operation of the stop button by the player so that the player wins. If the BB winning flag or the RB winning flag has not been written in the storage memory 47, the winning table of the electronic lottery device 38 is switched to the first winning table, and the mode is shifted to the normal mode. The lottery result in the normal mode is B
In the case of a prize other than B or a losing, a normal mode process corresponding to each prize or losing is performed.

When a game arcade closes or a trouble such as a power outage occurs, as shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 4 and 6, the front door 5 provided on the front of the housing 4 is opened and set. The change key 53 is rotated clockwise in the figure to the ON position, and the power switch 54 is turned on. When the power switch 54 is turned on, the CPU 22 reads the stored numbers of BB and RB from the storage memory 47 and displays the stored number in the stored number display window 19 attached to the front door 5 only when BB and RB are stored. Is displayed for a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds). As a result, the number of stored special winning combinations can be displayed, a guarantee to the player can be made, and a decrease in the operating rate can be suppressed.

Also, a program for executing the procedures and functions shown in the functional block diagrams of FIGS. 2 and 3 and the flowcharts of FIGS. May be. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, a program for realizing a winning combination determination unit, a reel control unit, a special winning storage unit, and a storage unit is recorded on the recording medium 60. The storage medium 60 is loaded into the reading device 62 built in the slot machine 61, and the program is installed in the slot machine, or the game is executed with the reading device 62 loaded with the storage medium 60. Reference numeral 63 denotes a CPU, and reference numeral 64 denotes a memory.

In addition, instead of installing the program using a storage medium, the program can be distributed to each slot machine using the Internet. In addition, by adding a program for executing a basic operation of the slot machine such as a function of rotating reels and a function of stopping each reel to the above program, when installed on a personal computer, a slot machine game is played on a monitor. You can also.

In the above-described embodiment, the replay high probability table is set so that the replay winning is easily obtained in the game in the stock time mode. However, instead of setting the replay winning probability high, the winning probability of the small role winning is increased. Alternatively, the probability of winning the replay and the small role may be set higher. Also, instead of competing for a high probability of winning the replay and the small win, the internally won winning combination may be displayed on the sub reel, so that the win of the small win and the replay may be easily obtained.
