Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gaming machine in which any one of a plurality of setting information is selected to determine a probability that a winning condition is satisfied.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, a slot machine has been known in which setting information is disclosed to a player as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-73623. According to this slot machine, it is possible for a player to know in advance which gaming machine is likely to win (which is good setting information for the player), which is very excellent in improving customer service.

[0003]

However, in an actual game shop, a game machine having good setting information for a player and a game machine not having the same are mixed, and the game shop side as a whole obtains a proper profit. Since it is usually adjusted so that if the setting information is disclosed to the player in advance, a player who purposely selects a gaming machine with bad setting information, that is, a gaming machine that is hard to hit Therefore, the operation of the gaming machine is reduced. As a result, there is a problem that the profit of the amusement store as a whole is also reduced. An object of the present invention is to secure profits on the game shop side,
The point is that the player's request of "I want to know the setting information" is adequately satisfied.

[0004]

In order to solve the above problems, the gaming machine setting information disclosure device according to the present invention is set to set the probability that a hit condition will be established stepwise. It is provided corresponding to the gaming machine equipped with means,
It is characterized in that the setting information showing the state set by the setting means is disclosed to the player when a predetermined setting disclosure condition is satisfied. The setting disclosure condition is that operation data indicating an operation state of the gaming machine satisfies a predetermined condition.

In an actual game store, the daily balance of the above gaming machines is managed based on the setting information. Specifically, a game machine that is easy to hit is hard to become a game machine is artificially determined by the setting means. Therefore, if the setting information is disclosed for all the gaming machines, it will be difficult to calculate the balance. Therefore, if a certain condition is provided as in the present invention and the setting information is disclosed only when the condition is satisfied, the setting information of all the gaming machines will not be disclosed, so that the game store side Balance calculation is not so difficult. Moreover, the player wants to know the setting information, and therefore tries to continue playing until the condition is satisfied. As a result, the ratio (referred to as the operating rate) to the operating hours of one day during which a certain gaming machine is played is increased, and the demand from the gaming shop side that "the operating rate is desired to be increased" can be satisfied to some extent.

The operation data includes the number of game media invested in the game machine by the player (referred to as the number of investment game media) and the number of game media given from the game machine to the player. And (referred to as the number of affixed game media), the number of difference game media that represents the difference, and the number of times that the game media is invested in the game machine and the number of times the game is played is included.

The operation data is unique information indicating the history of the player playing a certain game machine. As an example, the above-mentioned information adopted in the present invention is typical, and the history of the game situation. It can be said that it is good information to obtain. Amusement stores,
These pieces of information are managed by the hall computer, and whether the balance is positive or negative is totaled and the state to be set for each gaming machine on the next day is determined.

Further, threshold values are individually set for the number of investment game media, the number of granted game media, the number of difference game media, and the number of hits, which are the operation data, and selected from the operation data. The setting information is disclosed to the player when at least one value reaches the corresponding threshold value.

The above-mentioned predetermined condition is "to reach the threshold value". By setting the threshold for each of the plurality of operation data, it is possible to determine whether or not the operation data has reached the threshold for each operation data. If at least one of the plurality of operation data does not reach the corresponding threshold value, the setting information will not be disclosed. If the required operation data can be arbitrarily selected, the setting information disclosure device of the present invention is effective for all game stores. This is because one amusement store may want to make the number of hits a requirement for setting information disclosure, one amusement store may want to make a difference game medium number as a requirement, and one amusement store requires both these two operation data. Because you might want to.

In the setting information disclosure device of the present invention, the disclosure requirement is the operation data indicating the operation of the gaming machine, but other requirements such as business hours, date and day of the week can be easily considered. .

[0011] Further, a disclosure selecting means is provided which enables selection of the setting information to be disclosed.

[0012] It is preferable for a game store to disclose setting information that is advantageous to the player in terms of improving customer service. Depending on how much the threshold is set, any setting information may happen to reach the threshold and the setting information may be disclosed. If the setting information that is unfavorable to the player is disclosed, there will be no player who purposely selects the game machine to play the game, and the operating rate will be reduced. In this way, it is considered that there are almost no gaming stores that bother to disclose setting information that is inconvenient, so if the gaming shop side is equipped with a selection means that allows only preset setting information to be disclosed to the player, the utilization rate It is possible to suppress the decrease.

However, it cannot be generally grasped as described above. When the player is supposed to disclose the setting information when he / she acquires a certain number of game media (this is the threshold value), it is assumed that the game media of the threshold value or more can be acquired. When the settings are made public, it is assumed that the settings are unfavorable to the player. This fact proves that there is a chance that a game machine that is difficult to win is enough to obtain a game medium, and it can be a basis for always keeping the player's expectation of obtaining a large amount of game medium. Therefore, it is necessary for the game store to be able to freely select the setting information to be disclosed to the player. Depending on the amusement store,
You may think, "We will publish the setting information that is the most difficult to hit."

Further, when the setting information is disclosed, the state set by the setting means is disclosed as setting information that allows the player to guess. Specifically, the setting information indicating the state set in the gaming machine and the setting information indicating the other unset state are disclosed at the same time.

The setting information includes information that is directly linked to the winning or losing of the game, such that the game machine is likely to win or is difficult to win. That is, if the setting information is known, it is possible to predict the outcome of the subsequent games to some extent. However, this may cause a problem that the expectation for the win or loss of the game is lost. Therefore, when disclosing the setting information, 100% of the setting information set for the gaming machine
The above-mentioned problem can be solved by making the setting information vague to some extent unclear.

For example, there is a gaming machine in which one is selected from the states represented by integer values of 1 to 6 and is set by the previous term setting means, and such a numerical value is disclosed as setting information. . The numerical value that shows the actual setting is "5"
However, as the information to be disclosed, "4-6""2or"
5 "etc. In this way, it is not possible to determine the set state, but it is possible to make some guess. In other words, the expectation of winning or losing the game is maintained and the interest is not spoiled.

The present invention also provides a slot machine provided with the above-mentioned gaming machine setting information disclosure device.

It is no exaggeration to say that the gaming machines provided with means for setting the setting information for changing the probability that the winning condition is satisfied are concentrated on the slot machines. That is, the gaming machine setting information disclosure device of the present invention is provided corresponding to a slot machine among gaming machines, and thereby maximizes the effects described above.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION What kind of form the setting information disclosure device for a gaming machine of the present invention is provided in an actual gaming shop,
An example will be described in detail with reference to the drawings to show the function.

FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing a form in which a hall computer, a game machine, and a game machine setting information disclosure device of the present invention are mutually connected. In an actual game store, a hall computer 100 and a game machine 101
Are connected to each other, and operation data is collected under the hall computer 100. The gaming machine setting information disclosure device 102 independently collects and processes independently a pattern that operates in response to a command from the control unit of the gaming machine 101, a pattern that operates in response to a command from a hall computer, and operation data from a gaming machine. A possible pattern is to execute. Furthermore, it is possible to consider a difference in the form of being provided integrally with the game machine main body or provided separately. In any case, it is still connected so that information can be exchanged.

The data communication cable 103 is stretched around in a game store in which a game machine is installed. When the gaming machine setting information disclosure device 102 is provided integrally with the gaming machine main body, cables 104 and 105 represent circuits in the control unit of the gaming machine main body. When provided separately from the gaming machine main body, the cables indicated by 104 and 105 are external cables that connect the gaming machine setting information disclosure device 102 and the gaming machine main body 101 to each other.

When the gaming machine setting information disclosure device 102 receives a command from the gaming machine body control section, the gaming machine control section needs to provide a non-volatile memory area in which operating data remains even when the power is turned off. . This is because the game machine in the actual game shop may be forced to turn off the power when troubles such as ball clogging and medal clogging occur.

On the other hand, the gaming machine setting information disclosing device 102.
When a command is received from the hall computer, the operating data is centrally stored in the hall computer 100, so there is no need to provide the memory area as described above in the gaming machine main body control section, and the gaming machine settings are set. The information disclosure device 102 only needs to have a function of receiving an instruction from the hall computer 100 and disclosing the result. Techniques for managing operating data with a hall computer are already known.
Therefore, in order to supply the gaming machine setting information disclosing device 102 of the present invention more inexpensively, the gaming machine setting information disclosing device 10
It is desirable to adopt a mode in which 2 is operated based on an instruction from the hall computer.

FIG. 2 shows a block diagram in the case of displaying a result on the gaming machine setting information disclosure device provided integrally with the slot machine main body in accordance with a command from the hall computer. This block diagram is an example in the case where the gaming machine is a slot machine, but the gaming machine is not limited to only the slot machine. Hardware components such as the control unit 200 and the hall computer 100 are common to all gaming machines. Therefore, the embodiment will be described below by taking the slot machine as an example. Also, although the “display result” is used, a device for displaying setting information by sound information to which the amplifier 24 is applied,
If the player can identify the setting information, such as a device that discloses the setting information by using color information that applies various display lamps, it is not limited to "displaying".

The number of investment game media to be invested in the slot machine by the player (referred to as the number of inserted medals. In the case of a pachinko machine, the number of inserted balls) is detected by the inserted medal detection unit 10, and the information on the number is controlled. Sent to department 200. Further, it is sent from the control unit 200 to the hall computer 100 via the information input / output unit 23 and stored therein. Since the setting information is often given an integer value of 1 to 6 as the “setting value”, the setting information will be referred to as a setting value hereinafter. Of course, this value is only determined in accordance with the probability that the winning condition is satisfied (hereinafter referred to as the jackpot probability), so the setting information is not limited to a numerical value.

The number of provided game media represents the medals paid out as a result of the game being played and winning, and hence is hereinafter referred to as the payout medal number. Since the number of paid-out medals is counted when a prize is won, the data source is the CPU 13.
Becomes The payout medal number information is also sent to and stored in the hall computer 100, as in the case of the inserted medal number.
All the programs related to the game are stored in the ROM 14, which is called at any time and executed by the CPU 13 using the RAM 15 as a work area. In the case of FIG. 2, it is determined in the hall computer whether or not the threshold value is reached based on the operating data stored in the hall computer, and the set value is displayed when it is determined that the threshold value is reached from the hall computer. Follow the instructions of. That is, the program relating to the determination is stored in the hall computer, and the execution is also performed in the hall computer. The process of displaying the setting on the display unit 19 which also serves as the setting information disclosure device is executed via the CPU 13 and the RAM 15.

The set value is determined in advance by operating the set value selecting section 18, and is stored in the setting information memory 16 in the control section 200. The setting information memory 16 is non-volatile and will not be cleared even if the power supply from the outside is cut off unless the setting value selection unit 18 is operated.

By operating the disclosure selection unit 26, it is possible to select a setting value to be disclosed. For example, as described above, the set values are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, and the jackpot probability increases in order from 1, with 6 being the highest. Since the player will not purposely choose a game machine with a low jackpot probability and not play, it is disadvantageous for the game store to disclose the setting values 1 and 2 to the player. Therefore, the disclosure selection unit 26 can select not to disclose 1 or 2 even when the threshold value is exceeded. In addition, the disclosure selection unit 26 is also in charge of setting the setting values to be disclosed with a range of “4 to 6” and “2 or 5”. Further, the threshold value setting unit 27 sets a threshold value for each operation data. Information about these public settings and threshold requirements is sent to and stored in the hall computer.

In this figure, the open selection unit 26 and the threshold value setting unit 27 are connected to the slot machine control unit 200, but if all are decided on the hall computer, It is desirable to simplify the whole system of a game store.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram in the case of displaying a result on the gaming machine setting information disclosing device provided separately from the slot machine main body in accordance with an instruction from the hall computer. The control itself is almost the same as the example shown in FIG.
Explaining only the different parts, first, in the figure, the setting information disclosure device 21 is provided separately from the main body of the slot machine, and the slot machine is provided with the setting information disclosure device 21 and the hall through the information output unit 20. It is connected to the computer 100 so that information can be transmitted. As can be seen from this figure, the operation data collected by the slot machine control unit 200 is transmitted and stored in the hall computer 100, and the control unit in the hall computer executes the processing for setting value disclosure. CPU of the slot machine body
The result is sent to and displayed on the setting information disclosure device 21 without going through 13 or the like. In this case, since there is no intervention from the hall computer 100 to the slot machine control unit 200, the information output unit represented by 20 does not need an input function.

FIG. 4 shows a block diagram in the case where a result is displayed on the gaming machine setting information disclosure device provided integrally with the slot machine main body in accordance with an instruction from the slot machine control unit. In this case, the hall computer 100 only collects and stores the operation data as in the conventional case. The operation data for disclosing the setting information is stored in the operation data memory 17 provided in the slot machine control unit 200. Information about the publicly available settings and threshold requirements is stored in 22 threshold requirement memories. Based on the operation data memory 17 and the threshold requirement memory 22, the CPU 13 determines whether or not the threshold value is reached, and the result is displayed on the display unit 19 which also serves as the setting information disclosure device.

FIG. 5 shows a block diagram in the case where a result is displayed on the gaming machine setting information disclosure device provided separately from the slot machine main body, in accordance with an instruction from the slot machine control unit. Also in this case, as in the case of FIG. 4, the hall computer 100 only collects and stores the operation data as in the conventional case. The difference from the case of FIG. 4 is that the result is displayed on the setting information disclosure device 21 via the information output unit 20.

FIG. 6 shows that the setting information disclosure device independently operates as a CPU.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a setting information disclosure device in the case of having a memory and a memory, independently performing operation data collection, independently determining whether a threshold value has been exceeded, and displaying a result. The setting information disclosure device 600 has a CPU in its own control unit 201.
60, ROM 61, RAM 62, and the processing for disclosing the setting information is executed independently of the hall computer 100 and the slot machine control unit 200. The operation data is sent from the slot machine information output unit 20 to the data input / output unit 71 and stored in the operation data memory 64 in the control unit 201. Receiving unit 6 for threshold requirements and setting information
It is set from the outside by means of a remote controller 70 or the like via 9. The information input from the receiving unit is stored in the control unit 20.
It is stored in the threshold requirement memory 63 and the setting information memory 65 in 1 respectively.

When the setting information disclosure process is executed, the result is displayed on the display unit 66. In this way, the setting information disclosure device in the independent form may also be used as other functions (in-game store call lamp, operation data display function, etc.). Reference numeral 67 is an in-store calling lamp, and 68 is a selection button for displaying operating data and displaying publicly displayed setting information. In this embodiment, the setting information disclosure device of the present invention functions independently of the hall computer or slot machine, but from the viewpoint of cost reduction and system simplification, the hall computer or slot machine main body is provided with a function. It is desirable to focus.

FIG. 7 is a conceptual diagram showing a memory area assigned to operation data in the hall computer.
A machine number is attached to each of the game machines in the game store, and each operation data is stored in association with the machine number memory 30. 31 is a jackpot number memory that stores the number of jackpots in a day, 32 is an in medal memory that stores the number of inserted medals, 33 is an out medal memory that stores the number of paid-out medals, and 34 is a difference between the number of paid-out medals and the number of inserted medals. A difference medal memory to be stored, 35 is a set value memory for storing the set value selected in each slot machine, 36
Is a public memory that stores whether or not the set value has been made public. The public memory “1” indicates that the setting value has already been disclosed to the player. “0” indicates that it has not been published.

These operation data memories are updated every time there is operation data sent from each gaming machine. Then, it is constantly monitored by a program for determining whether or not the threshold value has been reached, and when it is determined that the threshold value has been reached, the set value is immediately disclosed to the player. The area in which the threshold value is stored is the threshold value requirement memory conceptually shown in FIG. Of course, it is easily conceivable to provide such a memory area for each gaming machine.

An area indicated by 40 in FIG. 8A is a jackpot frequency threshold memory area, and is stored as "25" in the figure. This means that the set value is disclosed when the number of jackpots reaches 25. Furthermore, "1" is set in the public selection area 50 in the jackpot threshold memory area.
Is remembered. This means that the disclosure selection unit has selected it as a requirement for disclosure of the setting value, and that it is an and condition. That is, since "1" is also stored in the difference medal threshold value memory area indicated by 43, the requirement for setting disclosure in this case is "the number of jackpots has reached 25 and the number of difference medals has reached 2500. If you are. To 4
In medal memory areas 1 and 42 and out
All the information stored in the medal area is “0”, which means that it is not selected as a requirement. Reference numeral 44 denotes a public setting value memory area that stores the setting value information that can be disclosed and that is selected by the disclosure selecting unit 26. In this case, settings 3, 4, 5 and 6 can be disclosed.

In FIG. 8B, "2" is stored in the public selection memory area 52 in the 45 jackpot threshold memory area. This represents the or condition. That is, in the case of (b), "the number of medals is 15
000 and the number of out medals reaches 15,000, or the number of jackpots reaches 20, or the number of difference medals reaches 2000, the setting value is disclosed ". . The threshold requirement is stored in this way, and the operating data in the operating data memory shown in FIG. 6 is constantly monitored for each gaming machine by the program that publishes the set value based on this requirement. Of course, such a memory area can be added to the slot machine control unit and the setting information disclosure device itself, and the form stored in the memory is not limited to the above.

FIG. 9 is a view showing an example in which the slot machine is provided with a setting information disclosure device. Slot machine 30
Reference numeral 301 shows an example in which the operation data display device and the setting information disclosure device, which are provided separately from 0 and are connected to the hall computer, are used in common. An example in which the slot machine 300 is also used as a display unit such as a liquid crystal screen is shown at 302.
Either one of these may be adopted. 81
And 85, the set values of the slot machine are displayed. The display device 301 has a mechanism in which the number of jackpots is displayed on 82 and the number of games between jackpots is displayed on 83. Further, by operating the select button 84, it is possible to display the jackpot situation on the previous day and operation data such as the total number of games on the day.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example in which a pachinko machine is provided with a setting information disclosure device. Also for pachinko machines,
It is almost the same as the case of the slot machine. In the case of a pachinko machine, if the pachinko machine is provided integrally with the stand, it is preferable to display the set value on a display section 90 different from the main display section 95 of the pachinko machine 400. When it is also used as the operation data display unit, it is exactly the same as in the case of the slot machine, which is indicated by 401.

These setting information disclosure devices are provided in the ROM 14
The setting disclosure condition can be displayed by adding a program to 61 and 61. That is, display example 1: "big hit 2
The set value is displayed 5 times. ", Or display example 2:" 500 sheets until setting value disclosure! "Can be displayed. Since the player can know what kind of condition is satisfied to open the set value, the player continues playing the game in order to satisfy the condition. As a result, it is possible to satisfy the demand of the gaming shop such as "I want the operating rate to increase".

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing for disclosing setting information. In this flowchart, a case where the number of jackpots and the number of difference medals are selected as the or condition as the disclosure requirement is shown as an example. That is, this is a flow of an example in which the setting value is disclosed when either one of the requirements reaches the threshold value.

First, when the processing is started, it is determined in F1 whether or not a medal has been inserted. When a medal has been inserted, the number of inserted medals is incremented in the memory in F2. In F3, it is determined whether or not medals have been paid out. F if there is no payout
Although the process proceeds to 7, usually, when there is no medal payout, a big hit does not occur, so one cycle of the process is substantially completed at this point. When the payout is made, the payout medal number is incremented in the memory in F4. The number of difference medals is calculated and stored in F5 based on these data. Then, in F6, it is determined whether or not the number of difference medals has reached the threshold value. If the threshold value has been reached, it is determined in F10 whether or not it is the disclosure setting value to be disclosed. If it is the disclosure setting value to be disclosed, the setting value is displayed in F11 and the processing ends. To do. If the threshold has not been reached, it is determined in F7 whether or not a jackpot has occurred. If no jackpot has occurred, the process ends. If a big hit has occurred, the number of big hits is incremented in F8. Then, in F9, it is determined whether or not the number of jackpots has reached the threshold value. If the threshold has not been reached, the process ends. If it has reached the threshold value, it is determined in F10 whether it is the public setting value, and if it is the public setting value, the setting value is displayed in F11 and the process ends.

In the above embodiment, the operation data had to reach a predetermined value in order to disclose the set value. As described above, it is possible to easily consider that the setting value is disclosed by other requirements that are not operation data. For example, when the operating hours of a day at a game shop are from 9:00 to 22:00, a public setting means and an execution program for releasing the set value at 20:00 are prepared. Although there is little game time left on that day, new enjoyment such as predicting the set value for tomorrow is given to the player based on the publicized information.

In addition, it is possible to consider the date, the day of the week, the climate, etc. as the disclosure requirements. Further, it is possible to consider a method in which the disclosure is made when a lottery / judgment for setting value disclosure is won without setting a disclosure requirement. Such lottery / judgment is
For example, each game machine is executed for each game played.
