Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a control device for a ball and ball game machine such as a pachinko game machine. Representatively, it is used for the sale of pachinko-ya and the store of No. 8 of Article 2, Paragraph 1, Item 7 of the Act on Regulation of Customs Sales Business and Appropriation of Business (hereinafter referred to as the Business Administration Law). The present invention relates to a control device for a game machine, and a new or used product or the like which has these specifications for general users.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as known in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-177523 and the like, this kind of gaming machine is a special device for facilitating winning a prize in order to appropriately stimulate a player's gambling spirit. (Article 7 of the Ordinance for Enforcement of the Wind Management Act). In particular, the mainstream is a type of gaming machine that has a special electric accessory having a special winning opening, and that can open a special winning opening and obtain a large number of balls by a so-called jackpot.
[0003]
Such an accessory is activated on the condition that a winning in a specific starting port, that is, a predetermined lottery process on a control device that is activated when the starting winning is achieved. In addition, when deriving the result of the random lottery, a special symbol display device on the game board displays an effect with fluctuation and stop of the symbol, increasing the expectation of the player and increasing the interest of the game I have.
[0004]
By the way, if a winning start occurs repeatedly before a single symbol change display is completed, or if a start winning occurs during a jackpot game in which a special winning opening is opened, these start winnings are waiting for the symbol change display. Is displayed as a reserved ball, and after the previous variable display is derived, or after the jackpot game following the winning derivation is completed, the variable display by the reserved balls waiting for a turn is activated.
[0005]
At present, the upper limit of four reserved balls is provided, and a start winning award that is additionally generated before the reserved balls are accumulated up to the upper limit and no space is available is excluded from the lottery process.
[0006]
For this reason, according to the above-mentioned publication, when the fifth start winning prize occurs when the upper limit of four reserved balls is accumulated, the screen on the special symbol display device is divided into four and the symbol variation of four symbols is changed. It starts at the same time, erases from the screen when the stop symbol is led with a short fluctuation time, performs a simultaneous digestion effect that sequentially updates from 4 divisions to 3 divisions, 2 divisions, 1 division, and eliminates the holding ball at a stretch Like that. As a result, the number of starting winnings that are excluded from the lottery process is reduced, enabling an efficient game. At the same time, the store is treated as a gray act and the so-called stop (the stop button is activated by the stop button when the reserved ball reaches the upper limit). Is a type of strategy that pauses the launch of the game).
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the above-mentioned publication, since the reserved balls are eliminated at a stroke, even if a plurality of hits are included in the retained balls that are simultaneously digested, the retained balls are executed after the fluctuation of the symbol is stopped. In the jackpot game, since the specifications such as the maximum opening time and the maximum winning number of one round of the special winning opening and the maximum number of continuations of the round are determined in advance, only one jackpot profit is given.
[0008]
For this reason, there is a disadvantage that not all lotteries can be used effectively, and if there are duplicate winnings in the pending balls that are currently scheduled for simultaneous digestion, it is frustrating to be notified to the player by the stop symbol derived at the same time There is a danger that it may make you wonder and even reduce the joy of the jackpot.
[0009]
An object of the present invention is to provide a control device for a ball and ball game machine in which all lotteries can be effectively utilized even when a plurality of reserved balls are simultaneously digested.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The control device for solving the above-mentioned problem is a lottery means for starting a lottery for deciding whether or not to activate the accessory upon a start winning, an effecting means for deriving the lottery result through an effect involving a change and a stop of a symbol, and a start winning. Holding ball storage means for storing the lottery result as a non-derived holding ball when it occurs during the previous effect, holding ball processing means for starting an effect by digestion of the holding ball after the end of the previous effect, and simultaneously digesting under predetermined conditions It is assumed that the system includes means for increasing the number of reserved balls simultaneously to increase the number of reserved balls.
[0011]
Here, when the lottery result is stored as a non-derived reserved ball in the reserved ball storage means, "when the winning start occurs during the previous effect" means that the starting winning deviates after the start of the symbol change and the finalized effect is completed. This includes both cases in which the starting winning occurs before the end of the effect during the operation of the accessory after the winning effect after the start of the fluctuation of the symbol. In addition, `` after the end of the previous effect '' when starting the effect by the expiration of the holding ball in the holding ball processing means, after the end of the off-determination effect, after the end of the character in-effect operation following the winning determination effect, Including.
[0012]
In the above premise configuration, a reserved ball simultaneous digestion scheduled number determining means for determining the number of reserved balls scheduled to be simultaneously consumed, a hit / fail determination means for determining whether a hit is included in the reserved balls scheduled for simultaneous digestion, An outdated effect selection means to select an outgoing derivation effect when the winning ball is not included in the scheduled ball to be consumed, and a group including one hit if the winning ball is included in the scheduled ball to be simultaneously consumed and the other. There is provided a distinction means for dividing into groups, a winning effect selecting means for selecting a winning derived effect at the time of digestion of a group including one hit, and a digestion retaining means for carrying over the digestion of other groups from the next time.
[0013]
As a result, when a plurality of winnings are expected among the holding balls to be simultaneously consumed, the consumption of the reserved balls of other groups other than the group including the one winning is carried over from the next time. Therefore, even if a plurality of reserved balls are simultaneously digested, all the lotteries are effectively used.
[0014]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, in order to enable a game according to the player's preference, the operation of the holding ball simultaneous digestion number increasing means can be turned on / off from outside. As a result, when the operation of the holding ball simultaneous digestion number increasing means is turned on, a game pursuing time efficiency can be performed, and when the operation is turned off, a game emphasizing the effect can be performed, and a game matching the taste of the player can be performed. Become.
[0015]

[0019]
In FIG. 2, reference numeral 71 denotes a holding ball lamp for clarifying the presence of four or less holding balls at the present time, and 710 denotes a holding ball indicator comprising a two-digit seven-segment LED for digitally displaying the total number of the holding balls at the current time. It is. With these, the increase due to the accumulation of the reserved balls and the decrease due to the digestion at the present time are reported every moment. The upper limit of the number of reserved balls is, for example, 50. Numeral 81 is a ball passage memory lamp for the passage gate 9. L01 to L06 are ceiling decoration LEDs, L1 and L2 are windmill substrate decoration LEDs, L31, L32, L41, L42, L51, and L52 are side substrate decoration LEDs, and L61 to L63 are special symbol display frame decoration LEDs. , L71 and L72 are special winning opening decoration LEDs, and L81 and L82 are starting opening decoration LEDs. These unique lighting displays are combined with the effect of moving image display on the special symbol display device 7 to play games. On the front side of the board 2, a unique decorative effect or staging effect is exhibited.
[0020]
FIG. 3 shows the reverse side of the game board 2. The start port 80 detects a winning ball at the start port 80, the count switch b2 is operated at the special winning port 70, and the accessory continuous operation device is operated, so that the so-called round is continued. And a V detection switch b3. The pass gate 9 on the front side of the gaming board 2 is provided with a gate switch b4 for detecting a ball passing through the gate 9 and flowing down the board surface. Each of the winning ports 23 to 26 has a winning port switch c1 to c4 for detecting each winning ball. An out ball switch d1 for detecting an out ball is provided downstream of the out port 29. The winning opening switches c1 to c4 may be provided individually, or one may be provided downstream of the ball receiving trough 200. For example, 15 prize balls per winning prize ball to the large winning opening 70 are set, and 5 prize balls per prize ball to the other winning opening 23 to 26, 80 are set, for example.
[0021]
FIG. 4 shows a control circuit of the gaming machine 1. Each of the switches a1 to a3, b1 to b4, c1 to c4, d1, a stop button e1, and a reserve ball digestion promotion are provided on a main board 100 having a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM. The switch f1 is input.
[0022]
On the output side, a special symbol control board 700 and a special symbol display device 7 having a sub CPU, an ordinary symbol control substrate 800 and an ordinary symbol display device 8, an LED / lamp control substrate 900 having a sub CPU, and various LEDs / lamps 71 , 710, 81, L01 to L82, a voice control board 600 and a speaker 6 having a sub CPU, a prize ball control board 400 and a prize ball payout device 40 having a sub CPU, and a large prize such as a solenoid or a motor for opening and closing a large prize hole. A mouth actuator 72, a startup actuator 82 such as a solenoid or a motor for opening and closing the tulip of the startup port, and a firing solenoid 52 are connected. The prize ball detection switch 41 for detecting the number of prize balls is input to the main board 100 and the prize ball control board 400.
[0023]
FIG. 5 is a part of a program stored in the ROM of the main board 100, and constitutes a processing means of a game relating to the special symbol display device 7 and the special winning opening 70. If there is a winning start and there is a memory in the starting winning storage area of the RAM (S1), a check number counter setting process (S2) to be described later that determines the number of reserved balls to be simultaneously consumed and the number of symbol fluctuations and stop lines (S2). , And a subroutine of a symbol and effect determination process (S3), which will be described later, for determining a hit symbol and an effect content. After these pre-processes, a symbol variable display is activated on the special symbol display device 7 (S4), and after a predetermined variable display time, which is substantially determined by the effect mode accompanying the variable display, all stopped symbols are determined. The result of the jackpot is derived (S5).
[0024]
It is determined whether or not a jackpot is determined based on the presence or absence of a jackpot flag set in the preceding process (S6). If the jackpot is a jackpot game process (S7) described later, if the jackpot is not a jackpot, a special RAM update or the like is continued. After the symbol game ending process (S8), one special symbol game is ended.
[0025]
FIG. 6 is a subroutine of the check number counter setting process S2. When the reserved ball digestion promotion switch f1 is ON (S9), the number of currently reserved balls waiting for effect execution stored in the starting winning storage area is evaluated. If the number of the reserved balls is 20 or more (S10), the number of check balls for determining the number of the reserved balls to be simultaneously digested and the number of the symbol variation and the number of stop lines L1 to L4 on the special symbol display device 7 is set to four. Is set (S11). If the number of reserved balls is 10 to 19 (S12), 3 is set to the check number counter (S13). If the number of reserved balls is 5 to 9 (S14), 2 is set to the check counter (S15). If the number of reserved balls is 4 or less, 1 is set to the check number counter (S16).
[0026]
Steps S10 to S15 constitute a reserved ball simultaneous digestion scheduled number determining means for determining the number of reserved balls scheduled to be simultaneously consumed. Steps S11, S13, and S15 constitute a line number increasing means for increasing the number of symbols and the number of stop lines corresponding to the number of reserved balls to be simultaneously digested.
[0027]
The start winning information during the execution of the effect and the start winning information for the pending balls 1 and below that are stored in the start winning storage area include the random number for jackpot determination extracted at the time of each start winning. The random number for the jackpot determination is, for example, a random number read out from a hard random number store or a soft random number store which circulates 310 numbers in a range of 0 to 309 at high speed at the time of starting winning. one of.
[0028]
FIG. 7 is a subroutine of the symbol and effect determination processing S3, in which it is determined whether or not the jackpot determination random number for the check target reserved ball matches the jackpot value, for example, the numeral “7” (S17).
[0029]
In the case of a deviation other than "7", two or three types of symbols which are not aligned with the symbol fluctuation and the stop line on the special symbol display device 7 are determined by a lottery process using a random symbol for determining a deviation (S18). , A check number counter decrement process (S19) and a start winning storage area update counter increment process (S20) for moving the check target to the next reserved ball. The processing from step S17 is repeated until the check number counter is 0, that is, all the reserved balls to be simultaneously digested are checked (S21). In the case where all are off, one of the plurality of preset modes is determined by a lottery process using a random number for determining the off-state effect including a moving image of the background to appear at the time of symbol change (S22). In steps S18 and S22, when no hit is included in the reserved balls scheduled to be simultaneously digested, a departure effect selecting means for selecting a departure derived effect is configured.
[0030]
If the number of reserved balls to be simultaneously digested is, for example, three, the reserved balls 1 to 3 are to be checked, and if all of them are not included without a jackpot, the symbols on the special symbol display device 7 A deviation symbol is derived for each of the fluctuation and stop lines L1, L2, L3.
[0031]
At this time, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, the upper line L1, the middle line L2, and the lower line L3, which are three independent symbol display areas defined on the special symbol display device 7, are arranged in order from the top. , A second reserved ball, and a third reserved ball are allocated, and the symbols are started to change simultaneously. After that, the upper left line L1, the middle line L2, and the lower line L3 are stopped in the order of the left middle right symbol. The allocation to the lines L1, L2, L3 may be arranged in the reverse order of the generation of reserved balls, or may be arranged randomly. Also, they may be arranged according to the length of the fluctuation time.
[0032]
Further, in addition to stopping at each line corresponding to each reserved ball, as shown in FIG. 9, after changing the design of each line at the same time, for example, the left design, the right design are common to each line L1, L2, L3. The symbols may be stopped in the order of the symbols in the middle.
[0033]
In the win / fail determination in step S17 of FIG. 7, when the jackpot matches the jackpot value “7” and the jackpot is found, the jackpot flag is set, and the winning symbols for which three pieces are aligned on the left center and right are determined by the winning symbol determining random number. (S23). For example, one winning symbol is determined from a total of 14 symbols including numbers from 0 to 9 and four types of male and female character figures. Subsequently, a decrement process of the check number counter (S24) and an increment process of the start winning storage area update counter for moving the check target to the next reserved ball (S25).
[0034]
If the check number counter is not 0, that is, if there are remaining balls to be checked to be simultaneously digested at the time when the jackpot is found (S26), the remaining portion is removed from the dummy missing symbol by a lottery process using the symbol determining random number. It is determined (S27). By repeating until the check number counter becomes 0 (S28, S26), dummy missing symbols are determined for all remaining portions.
[0035]
In the dummy missing symbol determination processing (S26 to S28), the increment processing of the start winning storage area update counter as in step S25 is not performed. And the digestion will be carried over to the next time. When the number-of-checks counter becomes 0, one of a plurality of preset effects is determined by a lottery process using a random number for determining a winning effect, including a moving image of a background to appear at the time of symbol change (S29).
[0036]
Steps S25 to S28 constitute a digestion reserve means for, when a plurality of winnings are expected among the holding balls to be simultaneously digested, carrying over the digestion of the holding balls other than the group including one winning after the next time. Step S <b> 26 constitutes a distinction unit that, when a winning is included in the reserved balls scheduled for simultaneous digestion, is divided into a group including one winning and another group. Step S27 constitutes a dummy deviation deriving means for deriving a deviation of the dummy corresponding to the change and the stop line of the symbol corresponding to the reserved ball for which the digestion has been reserved. Further, steps S23 and S29 constitute a hit effect selecting means for selecting a hit deriving effect when a group including one hit is consumed.
[0037]
For example, if the reserved ball 2 among the reserved balls 1 to 3 to be checked is a big hit, the reserved ball 1 (missing) and the reserved ball 2 (big hit) are actually consumed. The reserved balls 3 other than this group are left in the storage area and carried over to the next check. In addition, a dummy out-of-design is derived to the fluctuation and stop line of the design corresponding to the reserved ball 3. In this case, for example, in FIG. 8, the reserved balls 2 are allocated to the lower line L3 that is stopped last, and a three-piece design such as 7-7-7, which is an arrangement of big hits, is derived to the lower line L3. Deviated symbols are derived for the other lines L1 and L2. After the jackpot is derived, the current number of reserved balls subtracted by the number of simultaneous digestions on the reserved ball lamp 71 and the reserved ball display 710 at the start of the symbol change (in this example, minus 3) is the dummy number. Is restored (in this example, it is increased by 1).
[0038]
FIG. 10 is a subroutine of the jackpot game process S7. The jackpot game starts by opening the special winning opening 70 after the fanfare processing (S30) (S31). At the time of opening the special winning opening 70 once, if there are, for example, 10 winnings in the special winning opening 70 (S32), or if 30 seconds elapse after opening (S33), the special winning opening 70 is closed (S34). . The detection by the V detection switch b3 is performed during opening of the special winning opening 70 (S35), and when the final round, for example, does not exceed 15 rounds (S36), the continuous operation of the accessory is activated, and the special winning opening 70 is reopened. open. When the final round has been exhausted for the V prize, the jackpot game process ends.
[0039]
FIG. 11 is a subroutine of the special symbol game end processing S8. After updating the storage area of the reserved ball by the number of storage area update counters updated in the processing of FIG. 7 (S37), the storage area update counter is reset to 0 (S38), and the interval time until the next symbol change, etc. Is completed through the setting process (S39).
[0040]
In the above, the fluctuation of the symbol and the stop lines L1... Corresponding to the number of the holding balls to be simultaneously digested form the symbol display areas independent of each other (FIGS. 8 and 9), but FIG. As shown in (1), it is also possible to form a hit / miss determination line to be allocated in a matrix-shaped symbol display section in the symbol display area.
[0041]
For example, the symbol display section is 3 × 3 (left middle right × upper middle lower, D11 to D33), and the judgment line is upper U, middle M, lower B, upper right P, right down D, rising X, falling Y The number is seven, and when one of the reserved balls is digested, only one of the middle line M is added. When two are simultaneously digested, the upper line U and the lower line B are added to this three, and when the three are simultaneously digested, the number is further increased. At the time of simultaneous digestion of five and four lines including the right up line P and the right down line D, all seven lines including the rising line X and the falling line Y are effective. The line lamps R1 to R4 are turned on corresponding to the activated lines.
[0042]
The symbols are scrolled sequentially from top to bottom in the left symbol display sections D11, D21, D31, the middle symbol display sections D12, D22, D32, and the right symbol display sections D13, D23, D33. The fluctuation and the stop of the symbol imitating the movement of the reel of the so-called pachislot machine are realized. It is needless to say that the number and arrangement of the symbol display sections, the number and direction of the determination lines, the variation of the symbols in the symbol display sections, and the like can be appropriately changed.
[0043]
In the above, as a predetermined condition, a plurality of reserved balls are simultaneously digested when the reserved balls are accumulated for a predetermined amount or more, but at the time of a so-called probability-variable game in which the winning probability of the jackpot is increased more than usual, or After the completion of the above, a plurality of reserved balls may be simultaneously consumed until the reserved balls become equal to or less than a predetermined value.
[0044]
13 to 15 show embodiments corresponding to such specifications. FIG. 13 is an alternative flow of FIG. 5, in which after the big hit game process (S7), the big hit game end flag is set (SS9). Others are the same as those in FIG. 5 and the description thereof.
[0045]
FIG. 14 is significantly different from that of FIG. 6, in which the set value of the number-of-checks counter that determines the number of reserved balls to be simultaneously consumed, the variation of symbols, and the number of stop lines is changed according to the current game state. . At normal time (SS11) where the jackpot game end flag is not set (SS10) and the probability variation game flag is not set and the probability change flag is set (SS11), 1 is set to the check number counter (SS12). When the probability change flag is set, the value of the check counter is set to 2 (SS14) on the premise that there are two or more pending balls (SS13). Immediately after the end of the jackpot game in which the jackpot game end flag is set, if there are five or more reserved balls (SS15), 3 is set to the check number counter (SS16).
[0046]
After the jackpot game ends, if the number of reserved balls becomes 4 or less, the jackpot game end flag is cleared (SS17). If it is a probability change and there are two or more reserved balls, the check number counter is set to 2; Is set.
[0047]
Steps SS10, 11, 13, 14, 15, and 16 constitute a reserved ball simultaneous digestion scheduled number determining means. Steps SS14 and SS16 constitute a line number increasing means.
[0048]
FIG. 15 differs from FIG. 7 in that a setting process of a probable change flag is inserted between the winning symbol determination process (S23) and the check number counter decrement process (S24). That is, if the jackpot symbol is, for example, one of the odd numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 or two types of female characters, and is a so-called probable variable symbol (S231), after the jackpot game ends, the winning number is changed. For example, by setting five types of “3”, “7”, “23”, “103”, and “191”, the probability of the jackpot is increased to 5/310, which is five times the normal time, and the probability variable flag is set to “1”. (S232). In this way, after the jackpot game ends, the game enters a probability-variation gaming state in which the jackpot is more likely to appear than usual. During this probable change, the opening ratio of the electric tulip attached to the starting port 80 is also increased.
[0049]
On the other hand, if the jackpot symbol is any of the even numbers 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 or two male characters, the probability change flag is cleared to “0” and the jackpot probability is set to 1/310 of the normal time. (S233). Others are the same as FIG. 7 and its description.
[0050]
For example, if the check target is the reserved balls 1 and 2 and the reserved ball 1 is a big hit, for example, the reserved balls 2 for the unchecked other than this group are left in the storage area and carried over to the subsequent check.
[0051]
In each of the above-described configurations, various conditions can be set for increasing the number of reserved balls to be simultaneously digested.
