DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pull-in device for controlling the operation of a rotator displaying a group of identification information such that hit identification information located within a predetermined frame number range from an effective line is drawn onto the effective line. The present invention relates to a spinning-type gaming machine provided with control means.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, games using a spinning-type gaming machine called a pachislot machine have been actively performed. In the game of the spinning-type gaming machine, a predetermined number of coins can be obtained as winning if the specific symbols stuck on the three drums are aligned on the activated line.

In response to the operation of the stop button, the rotation of the drum is controlled so that a hit symbol located in, for example, four frames is forcibly drawn from the activated line onto the activated line to perform a hit display. I have.

Therefore, even if the timing of pressing the stop button is not perfect, a forced big hit display is performed by this pull-in control. There was no difference in the number of payouts between the game machine and the game machine, and the operation of the gaming machine was unsatisfactory for those familiar with so-called eyes.

The present invention has been made in order to solve such a conventional problem, and even when performing a pull-in control, it is possible to obtain a payout number that reflects a game skill amount. The purpose is to provide.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention relates to a method of forming a group of identification information such that hit identification information located within a predetermined frame number range from an effective line is drawn onto the effective line. A spinning-type gaming machine having a pull-in control means for controlling the displayed operation of the rotating body, wherein a payout number determining means for making the payout number, which is the number of game media to be paid out, different according to the drawn-in amount is provided. It was made to feature.

In the present invention, since the number of payouts is made different according to the amount of draw-in, even if the control of pull-in is performed by reducing the number of payouts as the amount of draw-in increases, the amount of game skill can be increased. Can be made to be the number of dividends reflecting the

[0006] The payout number determination means may be configured to be activated when a game mode is entered in which a predetermined number of small win games are completed.

In the case where there is a possibility that winning on a plurality of effective lines may be achieved, the payout number determination means may perform control to draw in the final identification information and the winning may be established on any of the effective lines. On the other hand, when the winning is established on a plurality of active lines without using the pull-in control, the payout number may be set to be a normal payout number.

If the winning is determined on the plurality of effective lines without using the control for pulling in the payout number determining means, the payout number is determined by multiplying the normal payout number by the number of lines per win. It can be.

[0009] Such control can be realized by recording a control program on a computer-readable recording medium, and reading and executing the control program recorded on the recording medium by a computer. Examples of such a recording medium include a semiconductor recording medium such as a ROM and a semiconductor IC, an optical recording medium such as a DVDROM and a CDROM, a magnetic recording medium such as a flexible disk, and a magneto-optical recording medium such as an MO.

Is connected to a sound effect generator 155, and these devices can be controlled.

The inserted coin detection sensor 130 outputs pulse signals of the number corresponding to the number of coins inserted into the coin insertion slot, and the main control unit 200 receives the pulse signals and outputs a credit corresponding to the number of pulses. The credit number display unit 60 is controlled so that the number is increased and displayed. The bet button operation detection sensors 135, 136, and 137 output pulse signals in accordance with the operation of the bet buttons 80, 81, and 85, respectively, and the main control unit 200 activates the active line so as to correspond to the obtained pulse signal. At the same time, the lighting control of the number-of-effective-lines display unit 50 is performed. That is, the operation button 8
By the operation of each of 0, 81, and 82, “1 MED
“AL”, “2MEDALS”, and “3MEDALS” are lit.

Further, when the start lever 90 is operated, the start switch 110 outputs a start signal, and the main control unit 200 starts the random number lottery operation and the like, which will be described later, in response to the reception of the start signal. 16
A drive pulse signal is transmitted to 0. The game performed by one operation of the start lever 90 is one game.

When a predetermined combination is made and coins are paid out, the main control unit 200 displays the number of payouts on the prize payout number display unit 70, adds this to the number of credits, and adds the number of credits to the number of credits. It is displayed on the display unit 60. When a payout operation is performed by a payout button (not shown) or the number of credits exceeds, for example, 50, the coin payout mechanism 140 is drive-controlled to discharge coins from the opening 6 and accumulate them in the coin tray 7.

Further, the main control unit 200 controls the lighting of the lamp 10 and the voice synthesizing LSI 15 when a combination is established.
It is configured to perform an effect operation such as a drive control of 0 and a display control in a display screen of the display effect device 190.

Then, the main control unit 200 controls the turning device 160
Is also controllable. The turning device 160 is shown in FIG.
Stepping motors 170, 171, 17 for controlling the rotation of the three drums 30, 31, 32 as shown in FIG.
2 in response to the drive pulse signal from the main control unit 200, and each of the stepping motors 170, 171, 17
2 is driven, and when the supply of the driving pulse signal is stopped, the driving is stopped.

Stepping motors 170, 171, 17
The drum 30 (31, 31), which is a thick disk-shaped rotating body, on which a design reel data 300 (310, 320) as shown in FIG.
32). Thus, the driving of the stepping motors 170, 171, 172 causes the drum 30 (31, 32) to rotate as indicated by the symbol X.

First reel data 300, second reel data 310, and third reel data 320 as shown in FIG. 5 are attached to each of the drums 30, 31, and 32 so as to make a full circle around the outer periphery of the drum. ing. Each reel data has 21 differently arranged symbols. In the design, the black number "7" 3
There are a big bonus symbol 330 composed of 30 and a white numeral symbol "7" 331, a replay symbol 334, a METEOR symbol 335, a plum symbol 335, a bell symbol 333, and the like.
In the first to third reel data 300, 310, and 320, symbol numbers 1, 2,..., And 21 are set in order from the uppermost side. These symbols are denoted by Y in the figure.
The drums 30, 31, and 32 are rotationally driven so as to change in the directions indicated by.

As shown in FIG. 3, encoders 180, 181, and 182 are provided for each of the stepping motors 170, 171, and 172, and each of the encoders 180, 181, and 182 corresponds to FIG. An encoded signal as shown in FIG. That is, one, two,..., 21 corresponding to the symbol numbers 1, 2,.
It outputs 21 pulse signals. The position where the reel data is attached and the signal output unit of the encoder are configured so that the encode pulse signal is output at such a timing. Thus, the main control unit 200 receives the encode pulse signal, grasps the symbol numbers on the activated line 40 and the other activated lines 41 to 44, and considers the symbol arrangement and how much each symbol is in each activated line. It is possible to grasp whether to reach. That is, the main control unit 20
0 grasps the encode pulse signal, and each drum 30,
Whether or not each symbol of the symbol reel data 300, 310, and 320 of 3132 is within the control range of the pull-in and the number of frames when pull-in control is performed can be grasped.

As will be described later, when a lottery result is won and a combination is established, the main control unit 200 controls the pull-in so that the symbols of the combination are arranged on the activated activated line. Do. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing an example. Now the big bonus role is established and the active line 40
When the symbols "7, 7" are aligned on the upper side, and the symbol "7" is located within four frames from the activated line 40, the symbol "7, 7" is forcibly aligned on the activated line 40 and "7, 7" “Pull-in control” so as to be a combination of “7, 7”
I do. The pull-in control is performed for the drums 30, 31,
This is performed for any of the 32 symbols.
In the example of FIG. 9, the symbol “7” 910 is a pull-in control target and is arranged on the activated line 40. In this example, four frames were set as the pull-in control targets, but the number of frames is not limited to this. In other words, even if one of the winning combinations is won by lottery, the game is not in an advantageous state unless a predetermined symbol corresponding to the winning combination is displayed. For example, a big bonus (BB) game is not started. Has become.

FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram of the command data table 600 stored in the data table area 203 of the ROM 201. A command composed of 1-byte length mode data and 1-byte length event data is stored in association with an effect pattern as effect contents. On the other hand, FIG.
Is a configuration diagram of a display effect device 190. The display effect device 190 includes a CPU 192, a ROM 195 as a recording unit that records an operation program and the like, and a RAM 196.
, An LCD panel 198 as a display device, and a command receiving unit 194.

The main control unit 200 executes the command table 60
When the command “0” is transmitted to the display effect device 190 side, the command receiving unit 194 receives the command and passes it to the CPU 192, and the CPU 192 receiving the command performs a display effect according to the command on the display screen of the LCD panel 198. It is configured as follows. Thus, the main control unit 20
Various display effects are performed by transmitting a command from 0.

FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram of a table 1000 stored in a predetermined area of the ROM 201. The winning combination name, the winning value, the winning value at the time of BB, and the flag area are stored in association with each other. BB (Big Bonus)
As shown in FIG. 2, this is a role name when the black and white BB symbols of the number “7” are aligned on the activated line. In response to this, 15 coins are obtained and the flag 1 is displayed in the corresponding flag area. Stand Up Big Bonus Game (BB
Game).

The RB (regular bonus) is shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, this is the role name when the "METEOR symbol" is aligned on the activated line. In response to this, 15 coins are obtained and the flag 1 is set in the corresponding flag area to set a regular bonus game (RB game). ).

The replay is a role name when "replay symbols" are aligned on the activated line as shown in FIG.
In response to this, the coin is not normally obtained, the flag 1 is set in the flag area, and the player operates the start lever 90 to perform a replay operation to lower the flag (set to 0). That is, the next game can be played without inserting coins. However, during the BB game, one coin is paid out and the player enters the RB game.
If you arrange them on the activated line 40 during B, you can get 15 coins.

As shown in FIG. 12, the small roles 1 and 2 are the names of the roles when the "plum symbol" and the "bell symbol" are aligned on the activated line, respectively. , And the corresponding flag is set. Although there are other small wins, the small wins will be described as two types for ease of explanation.

As shown in FIG. 11, the RAM 205 sequentially counts up one by one at a predetermined cycle (for example, 4 msec) from the value "0" to the upper limit value "65535". When the count value exceeds the upper limit, a so-called infinite loop counter (random number counter 1100) is formed in which the count operation is repeated by clearing the count value to the initial value “0”, and the main control unit 200 controls the count operation. ing.

As shown in FIG. 10, when the lottery counter value is "0 to m1", BB wins. When the lottery counter value is "m2 to m3", RB wins. When the value is "m4 to m5", the replay is won, and when the lottery counter value is "m6 to m7", the small role 1 is won, and the lottery counter value is "m8 to m9".
In the case of, the small win 2 is won, and if a counter value other than this is drawn by lottery, it will be lost. Usually these m1
To m9 are set appropriately, the BB winning probability is about 1/300, the RB winning probability is about 1/200, the replay winning probability is about 1/7, The winning probability is set to be about “1/30”.

During the BB period, that is, while the flag for the BB is set, the lottery counter value is "m10 to m1".
In the case of "1", the replay is won, and if the lottery counter value is "m12 to m13", the small role 1 is won, and if the lottery counter value is "m14 to m15", the small role 2 is won.
Is to be elected, and these m10 to m15
Are appropriately set so that these winning probabilities are higher than usual. For example, the replay winning probability is about 1/6, and the winning probability of small roles 1 and 2 is 1/20.
It is about to be.

(Explanation of Overall Operation) Next, the control operation performed by the main control unit 200 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the overall operation of the spinning-type gaming machine 1.

When a start lever 90 is operated with a coin inserted, the main control unit 200
From the random number counter 110
A counter value of 0 is selected (step S1300). This counter value is compared with the hit value in Table 1000,
If the selected counter value is included in the hit value, a flag is set in the corresponding flag area (step S131).
0). If none of the hit values is included, the process proceeds to step S1320 without setting a flag. In step S1320, it is determined with reference to the flag area whether the small win 1 flag is on.
If the small win 1 flag is on (Yes), the flow shifts to step S1325 to execute the small win 1 game.

On the other hand, if the small combination 1 flag is not set (No), the flow shifts to step S1330, and it is determined whether or not the small combination 2 flag is set by referring to the flag area. If the small win 2 flag is on (Yes), the flow shifts to step S1335 to execute the small win 2 game. On the other hand, if the small win 2 flag is not set (No), the flow shifts to step S1340 to determine whether or not the replay flag is set by referring to the flag area.

When the replay flag is set (Ye
In s), the flow shifts to step S1345 to perform replay control. That is, the main control unit 200 operates the start lever 90 by the player without inserting coins, and
The lottery operation is performed again by rotating 0, 31, and 32.

On the other hand, if the replay flag is not set (No), the flow shifts to step S1350 to determine whether or not the RB flag is set by referring to the flag area. If the RB flag is set (Yes), the flow shifts to step S1355 to execute the RB game.

On the other hand, when the RB flag is not set (N
In step o), the flow shifts to step S1360 to determine whether or not the BB flag is set with reference to the flag area. If the BB flag is set (Yes), the flow shifts to step S1365 to execute the BB game. on the other hand,
If the BB flag is not set (No), the process is terminated and the above series of operations is repeated.

(Small win 1 and 2 games) Referring to FIG.
The operation of the small win game executed in step S1325 and step S1335 will be described. Both small win 1 and small win 2 games are executed in the same manner. First, each drum 3
Rotate 0, 31, 32 (a) and stop buttons 92, 9
In response to receiving the pulse signals transmitted from the stop button operation detection sensors 121, 122, 123 by the operation (b) of 3, 94, the drum stop control is performed (c). At this time, the pull-in control is also performed as described above. Then, when the small winning symbols are aligned on the activated activated line, coins of the acquired number are acquired and the flag is lowered (d). On the other hand, if the small win symbols are not aligned on the activated pay line even if the pull-in control is performed, the flag is lowered without obtaining coins. As described above, in the small win game, the winning probability is high, but the period in which the flag is set is only for one game.

(RB Game) Next, an outline of the RB game executed in step S1355 will be described with reference to FIG. The main control unit 200, which has received the start signal first,
The rotation of the drums 30, 31, 32 is started (step S
1500), in step S1510, it is determined whether or not the pulse signals transmitted from the stop button operation detection sensors 121, 122, 123 have been received by operating the stop buttons 92, 93, 94. If no pulse signal has been received (No), a wait state is set in step S1510. If all the pulse signals have been received, it is determined in step S1520 whether or not the replay symbols can be aligned on the central effective line 40 using the pull-in control.

When it is determined that they can be aligned (Ye
In step S1530, the active line 40
Each drum 30, 3 so that three replay symbols are aligned on top
Stop control of 1, 32 is performed to obtain 15 coins, and this is one win. On the other hand, if it is determined that they cannot be aligned (No), in step S1540,
The control of stopping the drum is performed so as to be a combination of the out-of-control symbols. One game is completed by these series of operations.

Then, in step S1550, it is determined whether or not the winning in the replay symbol is eight or whether or not 12 games have been completed. If this is satisfied (Yes)
The RB flag is lowered (step S1560), and the RB game ends. On the other hand, if the end condition is not satisfied (No), the process moves to step S1570 to determine whether a new start signal has been received, that is, whether a new game has been started, and if it has been received (Yes). Returns to step S1500 to start a new game, and if no game is received (No), a wait state is set in step S1570.

Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 16, the RB flag is lowered when the winning in the replay symbol is eight times (B) or when the 12 games are completed (A), whichever comes first. Since the operation is controlled so as to end the game, a sufficient number of coins can be obtained as a result while the RB flag is set even if the disconnection continues.

(BB Game) Next, the BB game executed in step S1365 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 17 is a schematic explanatory view showing the outline of this operation. In the BB game, when the small combination game is executed 30 times or the RB game is executed 3 times, the BB flag is lowered and the BB game is executed.
The operation is controlled so that the game is ended. In the example of FIG. 17, an example is shown in which the small progression game S1700, the RB game, the second small succession game step S1704, the second RB game, and the like progress the game.

The RB game has the same contents as the game described above, and the drums 30 and 31 are arranged so that the replay symbols are aligned on the activated activated line while the BB flag is set. , 32 are stopped, the game enters the RB game during the BB game. Further, in the BB game, as described above, the winning probability of the small wins 1, 2 and the replay symbols is improved.

First, as shown in step S1800 of FIG. 18, the counter value of the random number counter 1500 is selected.
In step S1810, each drum 30, 31, 32
The rotation operation of is started. In step S1820, it is determined whether or not the counter value previously selected with reference to the table 1000 is included in the win value of the small win 1 or the small win 2, and whether or not the winning is achieved. In the case of winning (Yes), in response to receiving the pulse signals transmitted from the stop button operation detection sensors 121, 122, 123 by operating the stop buttons 92, 93, 94, the winning is performed using the pull-in control. It is determined whether or not the obtained small combination 1 (or small combination 2) is aligned on the activated activated line (step S).
1830). If it is determined that the symbols are aligned (Yes), the rotation of the drums 30, 31, and 32 is stopped so that the symbols of the winning small role are aligned on the activated pay line, and coins are obtained (step S1840). .

On the other hand, if it is determined that they are not aligned (N
In o), the rotation of the drums 30, 31, and 32 is stopped by disposing the off symbol corresponding to the pulse signal on the effective line (step S1850). Then, in a step S1860, it is determined whether or not an end condition that 30 games have been consumed is satisfied. If this is satisfied (Yes), the BB flag is lowered (step S187).
0) End the BB game. On the other hand, if the termination condition is not satisfied (No), the flow shifts to step S1880 to determine whether or not a new start signal has been received, that is, whether or not a new game has been started.
In step s), the process returns to step S1800 to start a new game, and when not received (No), step S1880
, A wait state occurs.

When it is determined in step S1820 that the small win 1 or the small win 2 has not been won (N
In step o), it is determined in step S1890 whether replay has been won. If the winning has not been made (No), the process returns to step S1800. If the winning has been made (Yes), the steps are not shown, but the pull-in control is performed to align the replay symbols on the activated line 40 so as to align the drum. Stop control of 30, 31, and 32 is performed. Then, in response to the start lever 90 being operated and receiving the start signal, the RB game as described in FIG. 15 is executed. When the RB game has been completed once, the process returns to step S1860 to determine whether or not the BB game has ended.

Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 19, the BB flag is lowered when the RB game is executed three times (C) or when a predetermined number of games, for example, 30 games have been completed (D), whichever comes first. Since the operation is controlled so that the BB game is ended, a sufficient number of coins can be obtained as a result while the BB flag is set even if the disconnection continues. In particular, since the winning probability of the small role is also improved, the number of coins acquired is increased, and the game mode is the most advantageous for the player.

(Features of the Present Invention) (First Embodiment) FIG. 21 is an explanatory diagram of a table 2100, which is stored in a predetermined area of the ROM 201. The table 2100 stores the number of sliding frames and the number of acquired coins (the number of payouts) at the time of the pulling-in control in association with each other. In this example, the number of sliding frames is obtained as the number of sliding frames becomes 0 (no slip) to 4 The number of coins is set to be reduced to 8 to 4.

FIG. 20 is an explanatory diagram of the pull-in control in the small win 1 game. As an example, when the plum symbols 2000a and 2000b are aligned on the activated line 40 and the final symbol is fluctuating (variation direction DR), the stop symbol 94 is operated to stop and display the final symbol.

FIG. 24 is an explanatory diagram of the table 2400. The table 2400 is stored in a predetermined area of the ROM 201. The table 2400 stores the number of sliding frames and the number of acquired coins (the number of payouts) at the time of the pull-in control in association with each other. In this example, the number of sliding frames is obtained as the number of sliding frames becomes 0 (no slip) to 4. The number of coins is set to be reduced to 15 to 2.

FIG. 23 is an explanatory diagram of the control for pulling in the game during BB. As an example, the plum designs 2000a and 2000b are aligned on the active line 40, and the final design “7” 2
When 100c is changing (change direction DR), the final symbol is stopped and displayed by operating the stop button 94. At this time, a symbol (numerical symbol) hits within the four frames B, C, D, and E from the active line 40. When “7” 2100c) is located, the main control unit 200 performs the pull-in control in response to the button operation and performs “plum symbol 2100a, plum symbol 2100”.
b, hit display is performed by aligning the numeric symbols “7” 2100c ”. At this time, the number of sliding frames is 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 at each frame position of A, B, C, D, and E.

Next, the operation will be described with reference to FIG. 22 which has been used earlier. In the second embodiment, the main control unit 200 activates the following operation during BB. First, in a state where the plum symbols 2100a and 2100b are aligned on the activated line 40, the pull-in control is performed in accordance with the operation of the operation button 94 to perform a hit display in which the numeral symbol "7" 2100c is displayed on the right drum 32. . The main controller 200 detects the number of sliding frames, which is the amount of pull-in at this time (step S2200). For example, the numeral pattern “7” 21 at the position of E
When 00c is pulled in, the number of sliding frames is detected as 4.

Next, in step S2210, the number of acquired coins corresponding to the detected number of sliding frames is found in the table 2400, and in step S2230, the number of found coins is determined as the number of acquired coins. Credit amount display part 60 for minutes
Are displayed in an increased number. For example, when the number of sliding symbols is 4, the number of displayed coins is increased by the number of acquired coins “4”.

Therefore, in the second embodiment, the payout number is reduced as the draw-in amount increases, so that the payout number reflects the game skill even when the draw-in control is performed. it can. In addition, since such an operation is performed when executing the game during the BB, the player's awareness of the game during the BB is further improved.

(Third Embodiment) In this embodiment, the final stop symbol will be described as a symbol of the middle drum 31. FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5 (a), a plurality of active lines 41, 42, 4
In the case where the symbol A is in the reach state in 3 and 44, when the final symbol is stopped by using the pull-in control, the symbol A is aligned on the upper effective line 41 as shown in FIG. Would. On the other hand, when the final symbol is stopped without using the pull-in control, the symbol A is not aligned on the upper effective line 41 as shown in FIG.
Two sets of hits (on the effective lines 43 and 44) are established and displayed together in the middle effective line 40. The present embodiment is characterized in that the difference between the two payout numbers is calculated.

The operation will be described with reference to FIG. First,
The main control unit 200 determines whether or not the control for pulling in the symbol A of the middle drum 31 is possible in step S2600.
If it is impossible (No), the following processing is skipped. If it is possible (Yes), the process moves to step S2610 to determine whether or not the number of sliding frames is 1 or more, that is, the hit display is performed using the pull-in control. It is determined whether the hit display can be performed without using the control to perform or pull-in.

If the number of sliding frames is 1 or more, that is, if it is determined that the hit display is to be performed using the pull-in control (Yes), the flow shifts to step S2620 to allow coins with a normal payout number to be acquired, and the acquired coins to be acquired. The number of credits displayed on the credit number display unit 60 is increased for several minutes.

On the other hand, if the number of sliding frames is not one or more, that is, if it is determined that the hit display can be performed without using the pull-in control, the flow shifts to step S2630 to determine whether the valid payout is displayed when the normal payout number is displayed. The number of coins multiplied by the number of lines (in this case, “2”) is obtained, and the number of displayed credit number display units 60 is increased by the number of obtained coins.

Therefore, according to the third embodiment, when there is a possibility that a hit on a plurality of valid lines 41, 42, 43, and 44 may occur, control is performed to pull in the final identification information, and In the case where the win is established, the normal payout number is set. On the other hand, when the win is realized on the plurality of active lines 43 and 44 without using the pull-in control, the payout number is larger than usual, specifically, Since the number of payouts is the number obtained by multiplying the number of lines by the number of normal payouts,
Player willingness to play further increases.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, various modifications and changes can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the number of games set to be changeable or the like may be appropriately changed, a game may be started, or a game medium to be paid out as a prize may be a game ball instead of a coin.

As described above, according to the present invention, the number of payouts is made different depending on the amount of attraction, so that, for example, the number of payouts is reduced by decreasing the number of payouts as the amount of attraction increases. Even when the control is performed, an effect is obtained that the payout number can reflect the game skill amount.
