Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a slot machine, a pachinko game, which has a variable display means for variably displaying various symbols and a function of controlling the variable display and giving a profit to a player according to the result. The present invention relates to a symbol combination game machine represented by a machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a slot machine has been known as a typical example of this type of gaming machine. The slot machine is provided with a plurality of rotating reels having a plurality of symbols arranged on the outer circumference, and the symbol combination when each spinning reel is stopped is in a predetermined stop state, for example, when the same symbols are aligned in a straight line. The prize is awarded and coins and prizes are paid out. Generally, in order to win this prize, various contingencies are often taken into consideration, and it is important to have a gambling element that the player's skill cannot completely control the result of the game. It is a feature.

In order to realize this "accidentalness", various techniques have been conventionally used, but recently, after executing a winning lottery by software using a microcomputer, reel stop control is performed according to the result of the lottery. The mainstream is a slot machine that employs a control method called "pre-stage determination". For example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-72313
The slot machine described in the issue relates to a slot machine with a stop button, which is a so-called pachi-slot gaming machine, and it has random number sampling means for sampling random numbers based on the player's operation of the start switch, and a "winning prize" depending on the size of the winning combination. It has a winning probability table divided into random number ranges of “big hit”, “medium hit”, and “small hit”, and when the sampled random number value is included in the winning section of the winning probability table, the winning combination Judged as winning,
The hit (winning) flag of the winning combination is established. In these winning flags, for example, a predetermined symbol (for example, a "bell" symbol or a "cherry" symbol) is provided on the activated pay line, and a coin payout of about 10 coins can be obtained. This occurs when a winning flag of a prize winning combination called or a predetermined symbol (for example, a "7" symbol or a "BAR" symbol etc.) is prepared, a certain number of games, a state in which a prize is more likely to occur than a normal game state, 100 ~ 4
There is a winning flag of a winning combination called a "bonus combination" that allows a large amount of coins to be paid out, such as about 00 coins.

The state in which the winning flag is established is a state generally called "internal winning", in which the corresponding winning combination is only allowed to be on the winning line, and the winning is not actually made. It has not occurred. In order to generate a prize, it is necessary to operate at a timing (usually within 4 frames) at which the rotating winning symbol can be stopped on the winning line, so-called "pushing" is necessary. If this operation timing is bad, No prizes will be generated despite being internally won,
So-called “missing” will occur.

[0005] This omission can be said to be a failure to push the eye in a broader sense, but there are several patterns in the cause, and firstly, although the design to be aimed at is fixed, the design that fluctuates is changed. There is a pattern that I can not recognize and fail by performing an appropriate stop operation, and secondly, there are multiple winning prizes that may have been internally won in this game, and what pattern should I stop and do? There is a pattern that cannot be specified and fails by performing an appropriate stop operation.

The former can be expected to improve the accuracy to some extent if the player is familiar with the touching technique, but the latter needs to grasp the invisible internal winning state, so no matter how skillful the player is at pushing. It is impossible to improve the accuracy of the press.

To put it the other way around, as long as the internal winning combination is notified,
It can be said that it is possible to realize a gaming state such as a bonus game in which a large amount of coins can be earned even in the normal gaming state. By utilizing such pachislot-specific game playability, a predetermined condition is satisfied. In this case, the fact that internal winning has been achieved for a predetermined period of time, and further, the type of the internal winning combination has been notified, has reduced the dropouts, and a large amount of coins have been paid out as compared to a normal game in which no notification is given. There are gaming machines equipped with a function commonly known as "assist time (AT)". This belongs to "during a normal game" in terms of "game state", which will be described later, but the actual coin payout can be set to be comparable to the bonus game.

Similarly, "Super Time (S)" is provided as a function for providing a coin payout size depending on whether or not support for "winning" the "internal winning state" is provided.
There is something called "T)". This is when the spinning reel is stopped and controlled by the player's stop button operation,
Prepare multiple "stop tables" to determine how many frames to slide from the stopped symbol position to stop, and determine the stop table to be used each time the winning combination is internally won by random number lottery, and then the stop table If you do not perform the stop operation according to the stop operation order set in, the stop control will not occur even if it is operated at a timing that can be stopped on the activated winning line With such a configuration, by providing a state of "notifying" and a state of not "notifying" of the type of the selected stop table, a large amount of coin payout comparable to the bonus game is realized as in the above-mentioned "AT function". It is a thing.

For example, when there are three stop buttons for left reel stop, middle reel stop, and right reel stop, "left stop, middle stop, right stop", "left stop, right stop," Six types of "middle stop", "right stop, left stop, middle stop", "middle stop, right stop, left stop", "middle stop, left stop, right stop" are prepared, and a stop table determined by random number lottery The prizes will not be generated unless they are operated in the order of.

Whether or not to generate such a state of navigating the operation method advantageous to the player (hereinafter referred to as "game assistance period" in the present invention) is determined by random number lottery as in the normal bonus winning combination. In recent years, a gaming machine with a game property that presents the “task” to the player and generates the “auxiliary game period” on the condition that the “task” has been achieved has recently become available. Has appeared. This "task" is, for example, "a bell within 20 games".
Win four winning prizes ”,“ Don't win all 10 winning prizes internally ”,“ BG playing during bonus games ”
Please operate the stop button according to the specific sound of M ”, etc., for several game periods after the assignment was presented,
In order to achieve the "task", the player "wins a bonus winning combination", which is the original game quality of a pachislot machine.
Apart from that, they focus on achieving the tasks presented and are glad.

The occurrence of such a "game assistance period" is determined by referring to the game history over several games unlike the one determined by a lottery for each game such as a bonus lottery. Will be. This has an effect on the production side as well, making it easy to use a production method that was difficult to express in the conventional game. For example, as will be described later, in the world view set for the gaming machine, the player is made to appear as a pseudo “main character”, and the enemy “monster”
There is something that causes a "game assistance period" by fighting with and winning the battle. Although there have been game machines with such a world view set up in the past, there is a tendency that the period of effect is completed only for the game in which the effect occurs. This is because the factor that causes the production is the winning of the winning combination, so no matter how many "games" are performed, a prize will be generated in the middle of the game, or the so-called "reach eyes". It is often noticed that the bonus winning combination is internally won before the production is completed, because the reels stop in a special stop mode that does not appear unless the bonus is internally won. It couldn't be a production.

However, by determining the occurrence condition of the "game assistance period" over several games, even in terms of performance, for example, 1
For each game, you can make an "attack" or "defense" effect, and finally develop a "game assistance period" by winning over enemy monsters while developing battle scenes over several games. It is possible to give the production a story

[0013]

However, the content of the "game assistance period" is set in advance, for example, "3.
Only fixed contents such as "0 game, notification of winning flag" are executed, and it is hard to say that the game history and the production history in the generation process of the "game assistance period" are reflected.

The purpose of the present invention is to determine the contents of the "game assistance period", which is advantageous for the player, by referring to the winning situation of the game in the course of the generation of the game assistance period, the contents of the effect produced, etc. By configuring it to
It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine that can express new game characteristics in “occurrence” and “execution” of a game assistance period, and further, in a dramatic manner, to express the continuity of a story.

[0015]

FIG. 2 is an example of a circuit block diagram for realizing the operation of the pachi-slot gaming machine 1 shown in FIG. The above-mentioned game control means is roughly composed of two control circuits,
The main control circuit 101 controls various peripheral devices electrically connected based on input signals from various detection means, and the sub control circuit 201 controls the game information transmitted from the main control unit 101 and the cross button 19. , Enter button 20,
Based on the input signal from the cancel button 20, the auxiliary effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 14 and the effect sound generated from the speakers 5L and 5R are controlled.

The main control circuit 101 has a microcomputer 102 arranged on a circuit board as a main component, and a circuit for random number sampling is added thereto. The microcomputer 102 is a ROM 104 in which game programs and data are stored in advance.
It also includes a CPU 103 that performs a control operation according to a game program in the ROM 104, and a RAM 105 that provides a work area required for control processing.

The CPU 103 includes a clock pulse generation circuit 106 for generating a reference clock pulse and a frequency divider 10.
7 and a random number generator 1 for generating random numbers to be sampled
08, and a sampling circuit 109 for sampling a random number based on a signal from a start switch described later are connected. As a random number sampling means, the microcomputer 102 may perform random number sampling by processing by software. In that case, the random number generator 108 and the sampling circuit 109 can be omitted.

ROM 10 of the microcomputer 102
In addition to the control program for controlling various operations of the pachi-slot gaming machine, a winning probability table used for determining whether or not the random number value obtained based on the operation of the start switch 26 is used in a probability lottery process described later. The reels 9L, 9L are operated in response to the operation of the stop buttons 27L, 27C, 27R.
A stop table for determining stop positions of C and 9R, various game information commands to the sub control circuit 201, and the like are stored.

Various peripheral devices (actuators)
Are connected to the CPU 103 via the I / O port 110.

The motor drive circuit 111 rotates the reels 9L, 9C, 9R in response to a drive signal from the CPU 103, and the respective stepping motors 112L, 112L.
The drive control of C and 112R is performed. In addition, the motor drive circuit 1
Reference numeral 11 controls stop of the stepping motors 112L, 112C, 112R in response to a stop control signal from the CPU 103.

The hopper drive circuit 113 is the CPU 103.
Based on the payout command from, the hopper 114, which is a coin payout device, is driven and controlled.

The 7-segment drive circuit has 115, 7-segment L
The various display units (payout display unit 13, credit display unit 25, bonus information display unit 11) configured by the ED are drive-controlled.

The lamp drive circuit 116 drives and controls various display units (1-BET lamp 10a, 2-BET lamp 10b, MAXBET (3-BET) lamp) which are lamps.

In addition, a liquid crystal display device 1 is also used as a display device.
4 and reel backlights described later, these are driven and controlled by the sub control circuit 201.

The start switch 26, 1-BET switch 16 and 2-BET switch 1 are the main input signal generating means for generating the input signal necessary for the microcomputer 102 to generate a control signal for each drive circuit.
7, MAXBET switch 18, C / P switch 22,
Input coin sensor 117, reel stop signal circuit 118,
Reel index detection circuit 115, payout detection circuit 11
There are 9 and so on. These are also connected to the CPU 103 via the I / O port 110.

The start switch 26 detects the player's start operation. The inserted coin sensor 117 detects a coin inserted from the coin insertion slot 28 that has passed a selector for selecting odd-shaped coins. The reel stop signal circuit 118 includes each stop button 9L,
When the operation of 9C and 9R is detected, a stop signal is generated. The reel index detection circuit 115 receives a signal from the rotation reference position detection switch in the stepping motor and supplies a symbol position reset signal to the CPU 103. The payout detection circuit 119 receives a signal from the coin detection unit 120 inside the hopper 114, and supplies a payout number signal to the CPU 103.

Next, how each of these drive circuits is controlled in the flow of a series of games will be described. First, since the power switch of the pachi-slot gaming machine 1 is turned on, the random number generator 108 is generating random numbers belonging to a certain numerical range. When the coin insertion by the player is detected by the insertion coin sensor 117, or the coin is credited, the 1-BET switch 16, the 2-BET switch 17,
1-BET by betting operation of MAXBET switch 18
The lamp driving circuit 116 drives the lamp 10a, the 2-BET lamp 10b, and the 3-BET lamp 10c to light. The random number value is sampled by the sampling circuit 109 at the timing when the start switch 26 detects the game start operation of the player. Then, the sampled random number value is compared with the winning probability table stored in the ROM 104, and if there is a winning, a winning flag of the corresponding winning combination is set. This software-like lottery process is called “probability lottery process”, and the details will be described later.

Then, each stepping motor 112L, 1
A drive pulse is supplied to 12C and 112R through the motor drive circuit 111, and each reel 9L, 9C, and 9R starts rotation. The CPU 103 monitors the supplied drive pulse and updates the "pulse counter" secured in the RAM 105. Then, the value of this pulse counter is monitored, and when the predetermined value is reached, it is determined that the symbol has moved by one symbol (also called one frame), and the "symbol counter" secured in the RAM 105 is incremented by 1 To do.

For example, it is a stepping motor that makes one rotation with 400 pulses of 1-2 phase excitation, and has two rotations on the outer peripheral surface of the reel.
If one symbol is arranged, the symbol moves by one frame in about 19 pulses, so the CPU 103 determines that one symbol has moved when the value of the pulse counter reaches 19 pulses. Then, the "symbol counter" is incremented by 1.

On the other hand, in the reels 9L, 9C and 9R, an index detection signal is generated each time the reference point of the symbol passes through the center line L1 of the display window 8, and a reset pulse C is generated via the reel index detection circuit 115.
It is input to the PU 103. The CPU 103 which has detected the input of the reset pulse clears the symbol counter counted up in the RAM 105, and the symbol position which is grasped by software and the symbol position which is actually displayed in the display window 8 are consistent with each other. Reserved.

When the reels 9L, 9C, 9R start rotating and enter a constant speed rotation state after a lapse of a certain time, the operation of the stop buttons 27L, 27C, 27R is validated. When the player performs a stop operation, a reel stop signal is input to the CPU 103 via the reel stop signal circuit 118, and after soft processing such as selection of a stop position is performed, stepping is performed via the motor drive circuit 111. Motor 112L, 1
The stop pulse is supplied to 12C and 112R, and the reel 9
L, 9C and 9R are stop-controlled.

When the stop control of the reels 9L, 9C, 9R is performed, the CPU 103 uses the code number of the symbol on the center line L1 as the stop operation position when receiving the stop signal from the reel stop signal circuit 118, and the RAM1.
The table is stored in a predetermined area 05 and the stop table in which the stop operation position and the symbol to be stopped and displayed on the center line L1 are associated with each other is referred to. Then, the symbol stop position corresponding to the stop operation position is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 105, and how many pulses (how many frames) are left to stop and display the target symbol.
It is calculated whether it should be supplied, and after the calculated number of pulses is supplied, stop control is performed.

When all the reels 9L, 9C and 9R are stopped, a prize search is performed. In the prize search, first, the symbol table stored in the ROM 104 is compared with the symbol stop position stored in the RAM 105, and the display windows 8L, 8C,
Understand what kind of state the stop mode of this game stopped at 8R is. The symbol table is reel 9L,
9C, 9R is configured corresponding to the symbol line drawn on the outer peripheral surface, and the code numbers representing the order of the symbols from the reference position and the symbol codes provided corresponding to the code numbers are associated with each other. It plays the role of a soft reel band. Next, each effective line L1, L2A, L2
B, L3A, and L3B, the stop mode and ROM1
The winning symbol combination table stored in 04 is collated to determine whether or not there is a winning. The winning symbol combination table is a combination of winning symbol combinations and the number of payout coins at the time of winning, and the winning symbol combinations and payout numbers that are valid depending on the gaming state are different. Switch and process.

When the CPU 103 determines "winning" in the winning search, it supplies a payout signal to the hopper drive circuit 113 to pay out a predetermined number of coins from the hopper 114.
At that time, the coin detection unit 123 counts the number of coins paid out from the hopper 114, and when the count value reaches a predetermined number, stops the drive signal to the hopper drive circuit and stops the coin payout.

The block diagram of FIG. 3 shows the sub-control circuit 201.
Represents the configuration of. The sub control circuit 201, based on the game information from the main control circuit 101 and the input from the cross button 19, the determination button 20, the cancel button 21 and the like, the peripheral devices related to the performance such as the liquid crystal display device 14 and the speakers 5L and 5R. Control.

The sub-control circuit 201 has a sub-microcomputer as a main constituent element, and has a liquid crystal display device 14.
Image control circuit 250 for controlling the

The reel back lamp control circuit 240, based on the parameters determined by the sub-microcomputer 202, reel reel lamps 31L, 31C, 31.
The R is controlled to blink. For example, when coins are paid out, the reel back lamps 31L, 31C, 31R of the symbols on the pay line are controlled to blink, or different blinking modes are prepared for each internal winning combination, and when the respective winning flags are established, the effect display is performed. By doing so, it suggests to the player which winning pattern should be aimed.

FIG. 6 is a plan view of the reel bands 29L, 29C, 29R developed on a plane. Each reel is provided with 21 symbols 32, each symbol is given a symbol number of 1 to 21, and is stored in the ROM 104 as a symbol table. The symbol rows 9L ′, 9C ′, 9R ′ are moved and displayed in order of symbol numbers (from bottom to top) as the reels 9L, 9C, 9R are rotationally driven.

FIG. 7 shows the number of payouts for a winning symbol combination (winning combination) in each gaming state.

Here, the internal winning, the winning, and the game state will be described. The internal winning is a state in which, as a result of collating the sampled random number value and the winning probability table in the above-mentioned probability lottery process, it is determined to be winning and the winning flag of the corresponding winning combination is set. The winning flag exists for all winning combinations in principle, but due to its characteristics,
It is valid only for games that have been won, and it is not limited to games for which the winning flag has been established, as well as games for which the winning flag has been established, which is a small winning combination that does not carry over the winning flag to the next game, and is carried over until the winning occurs. , A big bonus (BB) and a regular bonus (RB), the internal lottery probability of a winning combination is increased, and it is roughly classified into those of a winning combination called a bonus combination that can obtain a large amount of coins.

Examples of the small winning combination include, for example, a "cherry" winning combination in which the player wins by simply stopping on the active line of the left reel, and a winning "bell" when all three symbols are stopped on the effective line. There are "winning roles" and "watermelon" winning roles. Regular bonuses and big bonuses are also available as bonus prizes. Regular bonus (RB)
Is displayed on the activated pay line, for example, "BAR-BAR-B
This is caused by the fact that "AR" is complete. First, 15 coins are paid out at the time of winning the prize. Then, a one-off bonus game (referred to as a JAC game or accessory game) can be played 12 times or until a prize is generated 8 times. The big bonus (BB) occurs when, for example, "red 7-red 7-red 7" are aligned on the activated line, and 15 coins are paid out at the time of winning. And B
You can play a small combination called B general game or a game with an increased winning probability of RB up to 30 times, and you can play RB up to 3 times during that period. The RB prize from the general game occurs when, for example, "BAR-BAR-BAR" are prepared,
The RB prize from the general game in the BB occurs when "replay-replay-replay" are complete. Since the replay winning combination automatically inserts the same number of coins as the number of inserted coins when a prize is won, it is possible to play a game in the next game without inserting coins. Single bonus (S
B) occurs when, for example, "7 with sword-7 with sword-7 with sword" are aligned on the activated line, and 15 coins are paid out at the time of winning. Then, the JAC game can be played once. This SB is named "Bonus",
The winning flag is not carried over, and the winning flag is effective only for the game of the same time as the small win.

Next, the game state will be described. The game state is
It is roughly divided into three states depending on the presence or absence of the winning flag of the bonus winning combination, the bonus winning combination has not been internally won yet, and the internal winning is performed in the probability lottery process.
Bonus internal winning state (bonus internal winning, also referred to as bonus internal winning) in which bonus winning symbols are not aligned on the active line and winning has not occurred yet, winning symbol is well on the active line during bonus internal winning Are arranged and are roughly classified into a bonus game state (also referred to as bonus operation) in which a bonus game is being played.

Further, during the bonus internal winning, it is divided into the BB internal winning and the RB internal winning according to the bonus type. The bonus operation is also divided into the BB operation and the RB operation.

In addition to the bonus winning combination, there is a game state (hereinafter referred to as a specific state) which is advantageous for the player who can obtain a large amount of coins.

For example, with regard to the winning probability table of the SB during the general game called "centralized machine", a high probability table (for example, SB internal winning probability 1/2) and a low probability table (for example, SB internal winning probability 1/20). And a lottery to switch to the high probability table when using the low probability table (generally referred to as "rush lottery"), and a lottery to switch to the low probability table when using the high probability table (typically "punk lottery It is known that the coins gradually increase when the high probability table is used.

Also, a plurality of winning combinations called "AT (assist time) function" which can never win at the same time are set (for example, "bell-bell-red 7", "bell-bell-blue 7", "bell-bell-blue 7", Bell-Bell-White 7 "winning combination, right reel" Red 7 "," Blue 7 "," White 7 ", each symbol has 4 or more spaces between each symbol.) Since I do not inform the type, I do not know which "7" I should aim for, and theoretically I can only win 1/3 after internal winning, but when it comes to informing the internal winning type called AT period, you should aim Since the type of the "7" symbol can be known, it is known that a specific state in which coins gradually increase and coins are theoretically possible with 100% after the internal winning is achieved, provided that the operator pushes accurately.

In addition, it is called "ST (super time) function", and if the predetermined stopping order is not performed for one internal winning combination, the winning combination is internally won and the accurate pushing operation is performed. Even if you do, there is also one that performs stop control in which the winning symbols are not arranged. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, for the winning combination “bell”, the stop order table is “from No. 1”.
NO. Up to 6 "6 types are prepared, and when Bell wins internally in the probability lottery process, the stop table to be used is selected by random number lottery or the like. For example, a table in this game"
NO. When the "3" stop table is selected, a prize occurs when the middle stop button 27C is performed by the first stop operation, the left stop button 27L is performed by the second stop operation, and the right reel stop button 27R is performed by the third stop operation. Other than the five types of stop order, stop control is performed in which bell symbols are not aligned on the activated line even if the bell is internally won.

Since the stop order is not notified in the normal state, theoretically, only one-sixth can be won after the internal winning, but there is another way of notifying the type of the selected stop table called the ST period. For example, when it becomes a state in which the order in which the stopping order should be started is notified, theoretically, it is possible to win 100% after internal winning, and there is known a specific state in which coins gradually increase.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG.
Even if the winning symbols are the same, the number of payouts is different depending on the game state. For example, the watermelon winning combination is 3 coins to be paid out during the normal game and the bonus internal winning, but BB
It is a payout of 15 cards in the middle general game. Also, "Replay-
"Replay-Replay" is a replay winning symbol during the normal game and during the bonus internal winning, but it is an RB winning symbol in the BB ordinary game, and is a winning character winning symbol of 15 payouts in the JAC game.

Further, in this embodiment, in addition to the bonus winning combination, the above-mentioned "ST" is adopted as a situation advantageous for the player, and the ST function is activated when a predetermined condition is satisfied during the general game. There is. Specifically, when the SB winning combination or the Bell winning combination is internally won, the player is informed of the stop order information necessary for aligning the combinations of the winning symbols. Therefore, when the SB winning combination or the Bell winning combination is internally won during the period of the specific state, the player operates in accordance with the notified stop order to surely generate the winning without causing the omission. You can Hereinafter, the period during which this specific state occurs is referred to as "game assistance period".

The game assistance period is generated by satisfying a certain condition in a predetermined determination process performed during the normal game. Specifically, when a winning combination is generated, points as a value set for the winning combination are subtracted from a predetermined upper limit value (10 points), and the subtraction result is 0 points within a predetermined period. When is, the subsidy period occurs. As an example, as the effect displayed on the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 14 during the normal game, an effect (hereinafter referred to as “battle effect”) that displays a state in which the character of the hero and the enemy character are fighting is displayed. When the protagonist character wins the battle effect, as software processing, the occurrence of the auxiliary period is determined when the HP (hit points: physical strength) of the monster is determined to be 0 in "battle determination processing" described later. . When a winning is achieved during the battle rendering process, the attack points set for the winning combination (the subtraction rate differs depending on the appearing monster) are subtracted from the HP initial value 10 points of the monster, and the HP becomes 0. At that time, the occurrence of the supplementary period is determined. Details will be described later.

Next, during the general game, the liquid crystal display device 1
The effect displayed on the screen of No. 4 will be described.

FIG. 9 shows the normal effect displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 14 during the general game.

In FIG. 9A, the main character 3 moving through a 3D maze 302 (hereinafter abbreviated as “dungeon”) on the display screen 301 of the liquid crystal display device 14.
03 (hereinafter simply referred to as “hero”) is displayed. The protagonist 303 is directed and displayed as it goes deep into the dungeon 302 as the number of games is accumulated. The story produced in this embodiment is set such that the hero 303 makes an adventure in the labyrinth and defeats various enemies to raise his level.

FIG. 21 is an occupation selection screen displayed on the display screen 301 when the enter button 20 is operated in the normal screen. The occupation is the warrior 312 of FIG. 21 (a),
The wizard 313 of FIG. 21 (b) and the monk 3 of FIG. 21 (c)
There are three types, and four screens are scroll-displayed by pressing the cross key up and down. Before starting the game, the player operates the cross key to display an arbitrary occupation and operates the enter key 20 to select a desired occupation. This occupation is set such that the notification mode in the above-mentioned "game assistance period" varies depending on the occupation type and level.

As the game progresses, as shown in FIG. 9 (b), a warning display 304 indicating that the monster is approaching is displayed, and then, as shown in FIG. 9 (c), the monster type is changed. The enemy status screen is displayed, and the enemy information 305 such as the name of the monster, the number of times the game assistance period is continued in the case of winning, and the face of the monster is displayed.

FIG. 10 shows the types of appearing monsters. In this embodiment, three types of “Mikapom”, “Crocca”, and “Hygo” appear, and any one of them will be described as “the number of battle continuations” described later. Monsters are also set to 7 times. The number of consecutive games in the battle rush (abbreviated as "BR" below), which is the game assistance period obtained by winning monsters, is set differently for each monster, and you win strong monsters (monsters that are difficult to win). The more BR games are given, the more

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a battle occurrence probability table. The battle occurrence probability table represents the transition probability from the normal state to the "battle effect", and the lottery is performed for each game from the normal state where no battle has occurred, and "0
Which of the three monsters will appear is determined by whether or not the random value extracted from the range of 16384 "belongs to the winning range set for each monster. Depending on the setting, for example, in the case of setting 1, if the random number value extracted in this game is “20”, a battle effect with “clocker” occurs.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a specific example of the display in the battle effect. As shown in FIG. 12A, when the battle effect is started, the hero 303 is displayed on the right side of the display screen 301 and the monster 306 is displayed on the left side, and the battle is about to begin. In this battle production, the hero 303 attacks the monster 306 once or the hero 303 attacks the hero once for each game in the normal pachi-slot gaming machine 1 (from when the reel starts rotating until it stops). . (This is called "one turn").

While the battle effect is being displayed, the number of remaining turns 307 is displayed at the upper right of the display screen 301. This represents the number of remaining turns possible in the battle rendering, that is, the number of games remaining in the battle rendering. Further, damage gauges 308L and 308R are displayed below. This is the remaining HP of the monster 306 with the monster health gauge 308L during the battle production.
Remaining HP is represented by the main character's physical strength gauge 308R,
Both sides have HP10 set on the battle start screen, and as the number of games progresses and the battle develops,
Damage each other. Depending on the amount of damage inflicted, it disappears from the left side to the right side if it is a monster physical fitness gauge, and from the right side to the left side if it is a protagonist physical fitness gauge, and the battle production ends when the HP of any character becomes 0. The amount of damage given to the monster 306 is determined according to the type of winning combination. However, even with the same winning combination, the amount of damage differs depending on the type of monster 306.

Specifically, as shown in the damage table of FIG. 13, the damage points corresponding to the prize type are subtracted from the monster HP at that time. For example, when a cherry is won, 1 point is subtracted if the monster 306 is Mikapom, 10 points are subtracted if it is a crocus, and 3 points are subtracted if it is Hego. The initial HP of a monster is 10 points, which is common to all monsters.

FIG. 12B shows the hero 303 attacking the monster 306. Such a display is made when a winning is generated as a result of one game. Conversely, if the game result is a loss, the hero 303 is attacked by the monster.
The attack pattern of the hero 303 changes depending on the prize type. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, when a cherry is won, the hero 303 performs a “flame attack” to fire a flame on the monster 306, and a “replay” occurs. If you win
When the hero 303 performs a "frozen attack" that fires ice against the monster 306, and the "watermelon" wins, the hero 303 performs an "earthquake attack" that causes an earthquake and attacks the monster 306, and wins the "bell". In this case, the hero 303 performs a “lightning attack” that drops lightning on the monster 306, and if the player wins the SB, the hero 303 performs a “flash attack” that steals the HP of the monster 306 by exposing a ring of light from the sky. Also, the monster 306 has an "attribute" defined depending on its type. For example, Mikapom has a fire attribute and is vulnerable to a freezing attack, and if replay (freezing attack) wins even once, 10 points of damage is given, You can defeat it with a single blow. On the contrary, even if cherry (flame attack) wins, only 1 point of damage can be done. Similarly, since the crocca is a water attribute, you can do a lot of damage with a cherry prize (flame attack), but you can only do a little damage with a replay (frozen attack). Since Hego is a ground attribute, it has no weak points like this and it is difficult to defeat it. SB (Flash attack)
Can deal great damage to all monsters and can be defeated with a single blow.

In FIG. 12C, the monster health gauge 3
08L became 0, indicating that the hero has won. In this way, the protagonist 303 during the battle production period
When the player can defeat the monster 306, BR, which is a game assistance period, occurs thereafter. The number of games in which BR is continued (hereinafter referred to as “BR continuation number”) is, as described above, 30 games for Mikapom, 60 games for clockers, and 120 games for Hego.

FIG. 14 shows a winning probability table used in the above-mentioned probability lottery process. The random number is "0-16
When the winning combination is extracted in the range of 383 "and belongs to the winning range defined for each winning combination, the internal winning of the corresponding winning combination is achieved. For example, the random number value extracted in this game is 1000.
If it is 0, the winning range of the Bell winning combination is 2299 to 110
Belonging to 24, they will be internally won for the Bell prize. Also,
If the random number value extracted in this game is 15000, it belongs to the range of loss "13669 to 16383", and therefore no winning combination is internally won and the player loses.
The winning range depends on the type of winning combination, and for example, the winning range of the Bell winning combination has a range of "8726",
The winning range of BB is only "38". In other words, it means that the winning probability is low. this is,
In the battle production, the hero 303 is the monster 306
As shown in FIG. 13, the replay (frozen attack) effective for Mikapom has a high internal winning probability, so the attack is highly likely to succeed.
It can be said that Mikapom is a monster that is relatively easy to defeat. Compared to that, cherry (fire attack), which is an effective attack against crocus, has a low internal winning probability, so it is more likely to miss the attack, and it can be said that it is a monster that is hard to defeat.
It can be said that a monster with a lower winning probability of an effective prize (attack) is a stronger monster that is harder to defeat. In this example, the strong monsters are set to Hego, Crocca, and Mikapom in order. Also tends to increase.

FIG. 15 is an experience value acquisition screen after the battle. In the present embodiment, the experience value is obtained when the monster is defeated, and when the experience value reaches a predetermined level, the profession of the main character is upgraded.

FIG. 16 is an acquired experience value table showing experience values obtained by defeated monsters. "Experience value", "Magic experience value", "Intelligence experience value" as experience value
Exists, and there is a bias in the experience value obtained depending on the type of monster. For example, Mikapom can acquire a large amount of physical strength experience value by defeating it, but can obtain only a small amount of magical power experience value and intellectual experience value. Hego gains a small amount of experience experience power by defeating him, but he can obtain a lot of experience experience power.

FIG. 17 is a level-up required experience value table showing the experience values required for level-up of each occupation. Experience points are accumulated by selecting an arbitrary profession at the start of the game, performing a battle production, and defeating many monsters. When the experience value becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined value, the occupation level increases and the accuracy of the stop order notification during BR improves. For example, in order to become a "Level 3 Warrior", 700 points of "physical strength experience value", 120 points of "magic power experience value" and 95 points of "intelligence experience value" are required,
To become a "Level 2 Monk," 68 points of "Physical Experience" and 125 points of "Magic Experience" and 300
The "intelligence experience value" of points is required.

Specifically, as a profession this time, "warrior"
If is selected, the occupation level at the start of the game is 0, so the occupation level is also “0”. Then, after experiencing many battle productions, when the physical strength experience value is 250 points, the magic power experience value is 30 points, and the "intelligence experience value" exceeds 25 points, the level up screen is displayed as shown in FIG. 15 (b). Then, as shown in FIG. 15C, it is displayed on the display screen 301 that the player has become a level 2 warrior.

FIG. 18 shows an image during the battle rush (BR) which is the game assistance period. During BR, the order of the stop operation is notified on the display screen 301 as information necessary for establishing the winning of the internal winning combination. In this embodiment, the operation is performed when an internal winning of the SB winning combination or the bell winning combination is achieved during BR. In FIG. 18A, a stop operation sequence display 309 is displayed in the center of the display screen 301, a remaining BR game count 310 is displayed at the lower left corner, and a BR game is acquired during BR at the lower right corner. 31 coins
1 is displayed. This screen shows the screen that is first displayed when the player wins internally to SB or Bell in the game during BR, and the characters "Press left" on the left side of the center of the display screen 301 It is displayed. In the lottery process of the stop order notification described later, this is
Display screen 3 when it is decided to notify "until stop operation"
01 is shown, and this time, the user is informed to operate the left stop button 27L.

FIG. 18B shows the display screen 301 when "No notification" is selected in the lottery for stopping order notification, and no operation order is notified.

FIG. 18 (c) shows the display screen 301 when it is decided to notify "until the second stop operation" in the lottery process of the stop order notification described later, and this time,
First, the first stop operation is informed to operate the right stop button 27R, and the second stop operation is the left stop button 27L.
Is instructed to operate.

FIG. 19A shows a display form when the right stop button 27R is operated by the first stop operation in the notification of the form of FIG.
The display of the stop operation sequence on the right is an explosion. FIG. 19B shows the left reel 27 in the second stop operation.
Although the user has been informed to operate L, the left stop operation order is displayed with a cross mark in the display mode when the middle stop button 27C is operated by mistake and the stop order is wrong. . FIG. 19C shows a display form when the stop operation is performed according to the stop order of the selected stop table, and the three stop operation orders are exploded.

According to the BR as described above, the player can easily achieve the winning by simply performing the stop operation according to the instruction displayed on the display screen 301, and can obtain many coins. it can. This BR is continued until the predetermined number of games is exhausted, but the number of continuations differs depending on the type of the monster that has been defeated.

FIG. 20 is a notification probability table for each stop operation during BR. In the present embodiment, the accuracy of stop order notification during BR changes depending on the type of occupation selected by the player and its level. The random number range of the random number for selection in FIG. 20 is 0 to 127, and the usage data of the selection table is determined according to the profession and the level of the hero at that time. The accuracy of the stop order notification in this embodiment depends on up to which stop operation the notification is continued. "No notification" in the table indicates that no notification is given. “Up to the first stop operation” means that during the first stop operation,
This indicates that one of the stop buttons 27L, 27C, 27R should be operated, but the stop button 27L, 27C, 27R to be operated should not be notified during the second stop operation. “Up to the second stop operation” means the stop button 27 until the first stop operation and the second stop operation.
This indicates that the stop button of L, 27C, and 27R to be operated is notified.

In other words, when the bell wins internally, the probability that a prize will be generated is 1/6, "until the first stop operation" in the case of theoretically "no notification", assuming that the pushing operation is always successful. In the case of, the prize will be 1/2, and in the case of "up to the second stop operation", the prize will be 1/1.

For example, when the profession of the main character is a warrior, the occupation level is 2, and the extracted random number for selection is 50, the stop buttons 27L and 2L to be stopped until the first stop.
7C and 27R are notified, but not during the second stop. That is, of the six choices, the first three choices
Although which stop button of the stop buttons 27L, 27C, 27R is to be stopped is informed, the selection of the two options during the second stop operation is not informed.

As described above, the winning characteristic is changed by changing the notification accuracy during BR depending on the selected occupation and its level.

FIG. 22 is a diagram showing a game information command table from the main control circuit 101. In the present embodiment, the main control circuit 1 that controls winning determination, coin payout, etc.
01 and the sub-control circuit 201 that controls the liquid crystal display device 14 and the speakers 5L and 5R are configured on different boards, and the battle effect or B processed by the sub-control circuit 201 is performed.
Since game information about the internal winning state of the winning combination processed by the main control circuit and the reel stop situation is required for the production control such as R, both boards are connected with a straight cable and the necessary information is provided. It is transmitting sequentially. The command transmitted is a "start command" transmitted when the player operates the start lever 26, and the spinning reel 9
Stop buttons 27L, 2 to stop L, 9C, 9R
There are a "reel stop command" transmitted when 7C and 27R are operated, and a "1 game end command" transmitted when all of one game is completed.

Each command is represented by 2 bytes of one type of data, the preceding 1 byte indicates the type of the command, and the following 1 byte indicates its content. The start command is composed of 6-byte data, and the data types are composed of three types of "internal winning combination", "gaming state", and "selection stop table". The reel stop command is composed of 4-byte data per one stop operation, and is composed of two kinds of data types, "stop order" and "stop reel".
1 game end command consists of 4-byte data, and the data type is "winning prize type", "bonus game state"
It is composed of two types.

FIG. 23 is a diagram showing a main work area required for effect control of the sub RAM 205. The reception flag area is for the game information command transmitted from the main control circuit 101, the cross button 19, and the determination button 2
This is an area for identifying whether or not external input data such as 0 and the cancel button 21 exists, and storing the contents. The battle occurrence flag is an area for identifying whether or not a battle production is being performed. The monster type flag is an area for storing the monster type determined in the battle generation lottery process described later. The occupation type flag is an area for storing the occupation type of the main character 303 selected by the player in the support menu processing described later. The BR flag is an area for identifying whether or not BR is being described later.
The BR save flag is an area for identifying that the BR has been interrupted when the bonus winning combination is internally won during the BR. The BR continuation number counter is an area for counting the remaining number of BR's remaining, and when the battle effect is won, the continuation number is set according to the type of the monster that has been defeated, and is subtracted as the BR is consumed. It is a thing. The monster HP counter is an area that counts the remaining hit points of the monster. At the start of battle, an initial value of 10 points is set for all monsters, and the main character 30
It is decremented each time 3 attacks succeed. The battle continuation number counter is an area for counting the number of remaining battles in the battle production, and an initial value of 7 games is set in common to all monsters, and each game is consumed. The experience value counter is an area for counting the experience value obtained when the player wins the battle production, and is made up of three types of counters: a “physical strength experience value counter”, a “magic power experience value counter”, and an “intelligence experience value counter”. The level counter is an area for storing the current occupation level of each of the three types of occupations that the protagonist 303 can become. The random number value for production lottery processing is an area for storing random number values for various production processing, and is "0 to 16383".
And an appropriate value is stored in the range of "0 to 127". Various effect flags are used for battle occurrence effect, attack success effect, and B
It is a flag for determining whether or not a production during battle production such as R production production is executed according to the game situation at that time.

Next, the control operation of the main control circuit 101 and the CPU 103 will be described with reference to the main flow charts shown in FIGS.

First, the CPU 103 performs an initialization process (step "abbreviated as ST" 301) before starting the game. Specifically, the status of the previous game and communication data stored in the RAM 105 are cleared, the game parameters necessary for the game are written, and the start address of the sequence program is set.

Next, the CPU 103 determines whether or not there is an automatic coin insertion request, that is, whether or not a replay prize has been won in the previous game (ST302). This judgment is "YE
If "S", coins for the insertion request are automatically inserted (ST
303) and the process proceeds to ST305. When the determination in ST302 is “NO”, whether a new coin has been inserted, that is, whether there is an input from the inserted coin sensor 117 due to the player inserting a coin into the coin insertion slot 28, or various BET switches. It is determined whether or not there is an input due to the operation of 16, 17, or 18 (ST30
4). If this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to ST305, and if “NO”, the input signal is continuously monitored until the BET operation is performed.

Next, the CPU 103 determines whether or not there is an input by operating the start switch 26 (ST3).
05). If this determination is "YES", the process proceeds to ST306, and if "NO", the input signal is continuously monitored until the start switch is operated.

Next, a probability lottery process is performed (ST30
6). In the probability lottery process, the random number for lottery is first set to “0 to 1” by using the random number generator 108 and the sampling circuit 109.
6383 ", and the extracted random number value is determined using the winning probability table (FIG. 14) in which a random number range (winning range) is set according to the game state and the number of inserted medals. Whether or not it belongs to the winning range is determined, and the corresponding internal winning combination (winning flag) is determined.

When the determined winning flag is the SB winning combination or the bell winning combination, the stop table to be used is determined (ST307). The stop table is performed by random number lottery processing using a probability table having a random number range evenly in each of the six kinds of stop tables as shown in FIG.

Next, the main control circuit 101 at the start of the game
The game information of is transmitted to the sub-control circuit (ST308).
As the command to be transmitted, as shown in the start command of the game information command table of FIG. 22, the winning flag determined in the probability lottery process, the current game state, the stop table determined in accordance with the winning flag The number etc. is transmitted.

Next, it is judged whether or not the one-game monitoring timer set in the previous game has passed a specified time, for example, 4.1 seconds (ST309). If "YES", the next game is judged. A one-game monitoring timer for the next game is set (ST311), and when "NO", the one-game monitoring timer for the next game is set after the remaining specified time is consumed (ST310) (ST311).

Next, the CPU 103 controls the motor drive circuit 1
11 is controlled to rotate the reels 9L, 9C, 9R (reel rotation processing) (ST312). The reel rotation process is a process in which the constant speed rotation process is performed after the acceleration process is performed from a state where the reels 9L, 9C, 9R are stopped and a certain speed is reached. The stop buttons 27L, 27C and 27R are activated on condition that the constant speed rotation is achieved, and the reels 9L, 9C and 9R can be stopped.

Next, the CPU 103 causes the stop button 27
Whether any of L, 27C, 27R has been operated (stop button ON), that is, the stop sent from the reel stop signal circuit 118 when the stop button 27L, 27C, 27R is operated by the player. Determine if there is a signal. If this determination is “YES”, ST315
If NO, the process proceeds to ST314. S
In the process of T314, it is determined whether or not the value of the automatic stop timer is "0". Automatic stop means that when a certain period of time (for example, 40 seconds) elapses after the reel starts rotating,
Even if the stop buttons 27L, 27C, 27R are not operated and the reels 9L, 9C, 9R are rotating, the stop control is automatically performed. When this determination is "YES", that is, the automatic stop timer is "0".
If it is, ST3 is required to automatically stop the reel.
If it is “NO”, the process proceeds to ST313 to continuously monitor the acceptance of the stop operation.

In the process of ST315, the CPU 103
The process of determining the number of sliding pieces is performed. In this sliding frame number determination processing, the number of sliding frames of the reel corresponding to the stop button that has been stopped is determined. Here, the "number of sliding symbols" means what the symbol position (this is called "stop operation position") displayed in the display windows 8L, 8C, 8R when the stop buttons 27L, 27C, 27R are operated. It refers to the number of symbols (number of frames) that slides, whether to slide the symbols to stop the reel (the position where the reels actually stop is referred to as "stop position").

Next, the CPU 103 controls the motor drive circuit 111 so that the reel corresponding to the stop button that has been stopped is rotated by the determined number of slide frames and then stopped (ST316).

Next, the CPU 103 transmits a reel stop command indicating that the reel has stopped to the sub control circuit 201 (ST317). Figure 22 shows the reel stop command.
As shown in the reel stop command of the game information command, the stop order status (which stop operation is the current stop operation) and the stop reel status (which reel was stopped) are transmitted to the sub-control circuit 201. To do.

Next, the CPU 103 determines whether or not all reels have stopped. If this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to ST319, and if “NO”, it means that the spinning reel still remains, so the process proceeds to ST313.

Next, the CPU 103 executes a winning retrieval process (ST319). In this prize search process, the display window 8
It is determined whether or not the stop mode of the symbols displayed on L, 8C, and 8R indicates that the winning is achieved. If the stop mode indicates that the winning is achieved, the winning flag of the corresponding winning combination is set to R.
It is stored in the AM 105. Specifically, the center line L
The determination is made by collating the code number of the symbol on 1 with the winning symbol combination table stored in the ROM 104.

Subsequently, it is checked whether or not the winning flag and the winning flag match, and it is determined whether or not the winning prize this time is normal (ST320). When this determination is "NO", an illegal error is displayed and the execution of the game program is stopped. When the determination in ST320 is "YES", coins are paid out according to the type of winning combination and the gaming state (ST322).

Next, if the game state changes due to the end of the game this time, the transition processing is performed (ST32).
3). For example, if it was the final prize of the bonus game,
There are cases where a bonus is internally won in the game this time, cases where the symbol "7-7-7" is stopped on the activated line, and the bonus game is started.

Subsequently, the type of winning combination and the game state that have been established are transmitted to the sub-control circuit as one game end command shown in the game information command table of FIG. 22 (ST32).
4).

Next, the sub CPU 2 of the sub control circuit 201
The control operation of No. 03 will be described.

First, a reception process for receiving a command transmitted from the main control circuit and an input signal from the cross button 19, the enter button 20, and the cancel button 21 will be described.

FIG. 27 is a flow chart showing the receiving process. The reception process is executed by an interrupt process every 3 ms. First, the input buffer is checked (ST40
0), it is determined whether there is an input signal in the input buffer (S
T401). If this determination is "YES", the reception flag is turned on (ST402), and the content of the reception command is set in the sub RAM 205 (ST403), and the process is terminated. If "NO", the process is terminated.

Next, the main flow chart on the sub control circuit side shown in FIG. 24 will be described. First, sub CPU2
03 checks the reception flag area in the sub RAM 205 to determine whether or not there is an input operation related to the game support menu such as the cross key 17, the determination button 20, the cancel button 21 (ST404). The game support menu includes the above-mentioned occupation selection, payout information, and explanation of the game method. If this determination is "NO", the process proceeds to ST406, and if "YES", the support menu is displayed and edited in accordance with the input (ST405). In particular, when a job selection operation is performed, the job type flag of the sub RAM 205 is updated according to the selected content.

Next, the sub CPU 203 makes the sub RAM 20
Check the reception flag area of 5. The game information regarding the main control circuit 101 stored in the reception flag is, as described above, the "start command" generated by the operation of the start switch 26, and the spinning reels 9L, 9C, 9R are stopped. A "reel stop command" that is generated by operating the stop buttons 27L, 27C, and 27R in order to make it occur, and when all reels have stopped and a prize has been won, a "1" that occurs after a coin payout is performed.
There are "game end command" and the like, and various effect processes are executed by each command.

First, the sub CPU 203 determines whether or not a start command has been received (ST406). If this determination is “NO”, the process proceeds to ST408,
If "YES", the effect control process (ST
Move to 407). This is to carry out the determination for generating the above-mentioned battle effect, and the control processing when the BR is in progress. Details will be described later.

Next, the sub CPU 203 determines whether or not a reel stop command has been received (ST408).
If this determination is "NO", the process proceeds to ST410, and if "YES", the process proceeds to the effect control process when the reels are stopped (ST409). This is for notifying the stop order during BR and producing an effect according to the consistency between the notification content and the actual stop operation. Details will be described later.

Next, the sub CPU 203 determines whether or not a one game end command has been received (ST41).
0). If this determination is “NO”, ST404
The process returns to the above and the same process is repeated. "YES"
In case of, it moves to "the production control processing at the end of 1 game" (S
T411). This is for determining the battle result during the battle production, updating the number of remaining games in the battle production, and updating the number of remaining games and the number of coins acquired during BR. Details will be described later.

After the processing of ST411 is completed, S
Returning to T404, the same processing is repeated. In this way, the main flow chart of the sub-control circuit 201 repeats the process of branching to the corresponding effect process according to the type of input (switch input or command from the main control circuit 101) from the outside.

FIG. 29 is a flow chart showing the effect control process at the start. First, the sub CPU 203

1) If "YES", the process directly returns to the effect control process at the start. In the case of "NO", the random number for selection is collated with the battle generation table (FIG. 11) stored in the sub ROM 204, and a lottery is performed as to whether or not to generate a battle (ST502). If the lottery result is a loss, the process returns to the effect control process at the start, and if it is a win, the process proceeds to ST504 (ST503). In ST504, the reception flag stored in the sub RAM 205 is referred to, and it is determined whether or not a bonus winning combination is internally won in the current game (ST504). In this embodiment,
In both the battle effect and BR, when the bonus winning combination is internally won, the processing is interrupted. Therefore, when the determination in ST504 is "YES", the process is interrupted even if the generated lottery is won for the battle effect, and the effect control process at the start is returned.
