Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a gaming machine that is installed and used in a game hall such as a pachinko parlor.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In the present specification, a pachislot machine is described as an example, so that medals are used as game media. However, game media include other media such as coins and pachinko balls. Further, “inserting medals (game media)” includes betting a credited medal with a bet button or the like in addition to actually inserting a medal into the medal slot. In addition, the winning design that constitutes the winning combination that has won the winning winning lottery, the winning winning line that makes up the winning design that makes up the winning winning line and the winning design that makes up the winning winning line, and the internal winning winning feature Is a state where is aligned on the winning line.
[0003]
Slot machines that are installed and used in amusement halls such as pachinko parlors are called pachislot machines, and given a certain value to the medal that is the game medium, various medals earned by playing games Can be replaced. For this reason, the player generally aims to acquire a large number of medals, and generally selects a table that is easy to obtain the right to shift to the bonus game mode and plays a game. The bonus game mode includes, for example, a big bonus (hereinafter referred to as BB) mode and a regular bonus (RB) mode. In particular, the BB mode is shifted to the RB mode a predetermined number of times and before the RB mode is shifted, Since the mode is shifted to the RB introduction mode in which the winning probability of the small role where the medal is paid out is increased, a large amount of medals can be obtained in a short period of time.
[0004]
In the slot machine, the payout rate can be varied, for example, in six stages, and most of the models change the probability of shifting to the BB mode or the RB mode depending on the setting of the payout rate. The payout rate is often changed after the game hall is closed on a daily basis. For example, a slot machine with a high payout rate is set to have a low next day payout rate or a low payout rate. The slot machines that have been set are set to have a high payout rate the next day, and the game machine has been devised so that the player cannot predict a slot machine with a high payout rate. Since the change in the payout rate cannot be detected from the appearance of the slot machine, the game is played fairly for any player.
[0005]
By the way, in recent years, some players may perform a so-called goto act that makes it easy to acquire medals by intentionally applying illegal radio waves or signals to the slot machine to increase the payout rate. For this reason, in the conventional slot machine, the inside of the casing is covered with, for example, an aluminum sheet so that unauthorized radio waves and signals cannot be applied, and a detector for detecting illegal radio waves and signals is provided in the slot machine. By taking appropriate measures, some players have prevented goto acts.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, depending on the type of radio wave or signal, it may pass through an aluminum sheet or be completely undetectable by a detector, and it has been difficult to completely prevent goto action. In this case, it is only when you change the payout rate next time that you can find out that the goth act has been done, so some players who have done the goto act in the meantime It will be more advantageous than the player. Also, if the payout rate is restored again after changing the payout rate once, it may not be possible to discover that the goto act has been performed. As described above, the loss of fairness of the game has caused the players to be dissatisfied with the slot machines.
[0007]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a gaming machine, a program, and a recording medium that can maintain the fairness of a game by immediately detecting a goto action with a simple configuration. With the goal.
[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The slot machine 10 shown in FIG. 1 is provided with a normal mode and a BB mode. The BB mode is shifted when the BB is won, and is shifted to the RB mode three times or when the game in the RB introduction mode is performed thirty times. The RB mode ends when a predetermined winning combination is won eight times or when twelve games are played.
[0012]
In the slot machine 10, four display windows 13 are provided in the front door 12 of the housing 11, and the first reel 14 a, the second reel 14 b, the third reel 14 c, and the sub reel 15 rotate behind each display window 13. Built in freely. As is well known, a plurality of types of patterns are arranged on the outer periphery of the first to third reels 14a to 14c at a constant pitch, and three patterns per reel can be observed through the display window 13 when the reels are stopped. Become. As a result, a total of five straight winning winning lines, each of which has a pattern of each reel, are set, with three horizontal lines and two diagonal lines.
[0013]
Prior to the start of the game, when one medal is inserted from the medal slot 16, the winning line in the center is activated, 3 for 3 in the side, and 2 for the 3 in addition to the diagonal 5 The book winning line is activated. Further, it is possible to credit (store) up to 50 medals, and the number of credited medals is displayed from the credit number display section. From the error display unit 17, when an illegal radio wave or signal is applied to the slot machine 10 and the payout rate of the slot machine 10 is changed, an error display is performed when a so-called go-to action is performed.
[0014]
The sub reel 15 at the right end is stopped at a position where a blank portion is displayed, and is stopped at a position where “BIG” is displayed when a BB to be shifted to the BB mode wins an internal prize in the winning combination lottery at the time of a game start operation. . It should be noted that the pattern drawn on the outer periphery of the sub reel 15 is preferably an appropriate pattern, and is not limited to the pattern, and may be a mark or a number, for example. In addition, on the sub-reel 15, an appropriate notification is drawn by appropriately drawing a picture such as a picture indicating that a specific winning combination has been won or a picture indicating an expectation level regarding whether or not a specific winning combination has been won. It's okay.
[0015]
By operating these stop buttons 19a to 19c, the first to third reels 14a to 14c corresponding to the buttons are individually stopped. The operation panel above the stop buttons 19a to 19c is provided with various operation buttons such as a 1-bet button, a MAX bet button, and a payout button that are operated when a game is played in a state where medals are credited. Since the functions of these operation buttons are well known, the details thereof are omitted.
[0016]
A medal tray 20 is provided at the lower portion of the housing 11, and a payout medal obtained when a winning is obtained in the game is paid out from the payout opening 21 to the medal tray 20. A power box 22 is provided below the housing 11.
[0017]
As shown in FIG. 2, a power switch 23, a setting change button 24, and a keyhole 25 are provided on the front surface of the power supply box 22. The power switch 23 turns on / off the power of the slot machine 10. The setting change button 24 is used to select a payout rate of the slot machine 10. The slot machine 10 is provided with six stages of payout rates, and the payout rate is sequentially switched one step at a time when the setting change button 24 is pushed. When the setting change button 24 is operated seven times or more, the payout rate returns to the initial payout rate, and the six stages of payout rates are sequentially switched again. When the setting key 26 corresponding to this is inserted into the key hole 25, the setting key 26 is turned to the on position with the power switch 23 turned off, and then the power switch 23 is turned on. The setting change button 24 can be operated. After the payout rate is selected by the setting change button 24, the game can be performed by turning the setting key 26 to the off position, and the setting of one payout rate is completed.
[0018]
As shown in FIG. 3, the operation of the slot machine 10 is basically controlled by a control unit 30 including a CPU 30 and a memory 31. In addition to the CPU 30a, the control unit 30 is provided with an electronic lottery unit 40, a winning combination determining unit 41, and a winning combination lottery table determining unit 42, which will be described later. The medal sensor 32 detects an appropriate medal inserted from the medal slot 16 and inputs it to the CPU 30a. A selector is incorporated in the back of the medal insertion slot 16 and an inappropriate medal is discharged to the medal tray 20. Further, when a selector inserts a medal at an inappropriate timing, for example, a medal inserted in the middle of a game or with various operation buttons pressed, without passing through the medal sensor 32. The medal tray 20 is discharged.
[0019]
Since the number of medals to be inserted prior to the start of the game is limited to 1 to 3, the medal sensor 32 also detects medals inserted after the fourth one when the credit function is not used. Without being discharged to the medal tray 20. The credit function is turned on / off every time the payout button is pushed. When the credit function is on, medals inserted after the fourth sheet are also detected by the medal sensor 32 and credited into the slot machine up to 50 sheets. The number of credited medals is digitally displayed on the credit number display section. When the credit function is used, a medal insertion operation is performed by the operation of the 1 bet button or the MAX bet button described above, and the bet number is sequentially subtracted from the credit number. In addition, when a winning is obtained as a result of the game, the payout medal is also credited, and the credited medal is paid out to the tray 20 when the payout button is operated.
[0020]
The CPU 30a counts the number of 1 to 3 medals inserted prior to the start of the game based on the detection signal from the medal sensor 32, and thereby determines the number of activated payable lines. The number of credits is counted by another credit medal counter (not shown).
[0021]
The start signal sensor 33 inputs a game start signal to the CPU 30a when the start lever 18 is operated after 1 to 3 medals are inserted. Upon receiving the game start signal, the CPU 30a rotates the first to third reels 14a to 14c based on the game execution program stored in the ROM area of the memory 31 and starts the game process. The game execution program also includes an execution program in the BB mode, and the CPU 30a reads the execution program to execute the game in each mode. Note that in the game in which BB won an internal prize, the sub reel 15 is also rotated simultaneously with the rotation of the first to third reels 14a to 14c.
[0022]
The drive and stop control of the first to third reels 14a to 14c is performed by the reel drive controller 34. The first to third reels 14a to 14c are fixed to the drive shafts of the individual stepping motors 35a to 35c, and each reel is controlled by controlling the driving of the stepping motors 35a to 35c. The RAM area of the memory 31 is a working area and is used for temporary storage or rewriting of flags and data used for each game.
[0023]
Since the stepping motors 35a to 35c rotate at a rotation angle corresponding to the number of supplied drive pulses, the CPU 30a controls the rotation angle of the first to third reels 14a to 14c by controlling the number of drive pulses supplied. The stop position of the reel can be determined by stopping the supply of the drive pulse. Each reel is integrally formed with reflection signal portions 36a to 36c at its reference position, and the photosensors 37a to 37c photoelectrically detect the passage of each reflection signal portion for each rotation. Detection signals from the photosensors 37a to 37c are input to the CPU 30a as a reset signal for each reel.
[0024]
The CPU 30a is provided with a pulse counter for each of the stepping motors 35a to 35c, and counts the number of drive pulses supplied to each of the stepping motors 35a to 35c. When the reset signal is input from the photosensors 37a to 37c, the count value of the corresponding pulse counter is cleared. Therefore, the number of drive pulses corresponding to the rotation angle within one rotation of each reel is stored in each pulse counter while being sequentially updated.
[0025]
A picture table is stored in the ROM area of the memory 31, and the picture table represents the number of drive pulses corresponding to the rotation angle from the reference position of each reel, and the picture representing each picture arranged on the reel at a constant pitch. A code is associated. Therefore, by monitoring the count value of the pulse counter for each reel, for example, it is possible to identify which pattern has moved on the center winning effective line, and how much more the reel should be rotated. It is possible to predict whether the target pattern will move on the winning line.
[0026]
The sub reel 15 is rotated by a stepping motor 35d, and driven and stopped by the sub base 39. The sub-base 39 is provided with a CPU and a reel drive controller, and stop control is performed using the reflection signal unit 36d and the photosensor 37d in the same manner as the first to third reels 14a to 14c. In addition to the sub reel 15, the sub board 39 controls lamps and sound, and receives control signals of various devices from the CPU 30a.
[0027]
The stop button sensors 38a to 38c input a stop signal for each reel to the CPU 30a when the stop buttons 19a to 19c are operated. The start lever 18 is operated to start the rotation of all reels. When these rotations reach a steady speed, the operation of the stop buttons 19a to 19c is validated. Thereafter, by operating these, stop control of the corresponding first to third reels 14a to 14c is started.
[0028]
The stop control of the first to third reels 14a to 14c is performed within a range (drawing range) of five winning designs 0 to 4 frames. For example, when the stop buttons 19a to 19c are operated, the winning is effective. In the case where a winning design that constitutes the winning combination won in the lottery is included in the four winning designs that are consecutive from the winning design located on the line, the first to third reels 14a to 14a The time until 14c stops is delayed, and the winning design constituting the winning combination is stopped on the winning line.
[0029]
In addition, when the stop buttons 19a to 19c are operated so that a winning combination that has not been won is won, the first to third reels 14a to 14a are prevented so that the winning designs that are not won are not stopped on the winning line. The stop control 14c is performed (kicking control). Further, when a plurality of stop buttons are operated, only the reel with the earlier timing is stopped, and when fully operated simultaneously, none of the reels are stopped. In addition, the reel stop control is not limited to the winning pattern that constitutes the winning combination, so that the player is informed of the winning combination that has won the prize by the type of the pattern stopped on the winning effective line, or the combination of the patterns. Reach eyes may be displayed.
[0030]
In response to the game start signal, the CPU 30a operates the electronic lottery unit 40. The electronic lottery unit 40 includes a random number generator and a random number sampling circuit, and draws one random value every time the game is started. The random value selected by lottery is input to the winning combination determining unit 41. The winning combination determination unit 41 determines what type of winning combination is awarded in the currently executed game according to the input value. As a result, the electronic lottery unit 40 and the winning combination determining unit 41 function as winning combination determining means.
[0031]
As shown in FIG. 4, the winning combination determination unit 41 is provided with a plurality of winning combination lottery tables in which random values are grouped according to their sizes, and each winning combination lottery table depends on the state of the game. Can be used properly. The first winning combination lottery table 51 is used in the normal mode, and the random number sampled in the game in the normal mode is BB that gives the right to shift to the BB mode. Is used for determination of which picture belongs to, such as replay that gives the right to play the next game with the same number of bets without insertion of medals, or lose that does not generate any hits, that is, winning determination. Note that there are a plurality of types of small role winning designs, and a payout medal is assigned to each. Then, the winning type and the design are determined depending on which winning design the sampled random number value belongs to.
[0032]
The first winning combination lottery table 51 is provided with first to sixth setting tables 51a to 51f. In the first to sixth setting tables 51a to 51f, random value grouping is performed so that the payout rates are different from each other. By using these tables by switching, the payout rate of the slot machine 10 is changed. The The first setting table 51a has the lowest BB winning probability, and the BB winning probability increases in the order of the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth setting tables.
[0033]
In addition to the first winning combination lottery table, the winning combination determining unit 41 includes, for example, a second winning combination lottery table used in the BB mode, a third winning combination lottery table used in a game in which the BB has won an internal prize, and the like. Is provided. When a winning combination or winning combination is determined by the winning combination determining unit 41, a winning combination determination signal indicating the type of the determined loss or winning combination is input to the CPU 30a.
[0034]
When the setting change button 24 is operated and a payout rate is selected, a payout rate selection signal is input from the setting change sensor 43 to the CPU 30a. In response to this, the CPU 30a inputs a table selection signal to the electronic lottery unit 40 and compares the sampled random number value with any of the first to sixth setting tables 51a to 51f of the first winning combination lottery table 51. Command what to do. The type of the winning combination lottery table for collating random numbers is also written in the RAM area of the memory 31. As a result, the setting change button 24 functions as a winning combination lottery table setting means.
[0035]
The sub-base 39 is provided with a selection table storage unit 39a. The selection table storage unit 39 includes a memory, and when the payout rate is set, the type of the selected winning combination lottery table is written in the selection table storage unit 39a.
[0036]
The winning combination lottery table determination unit 42 receives the type of the winning combination lottery table written in the memory 31 and the type of the winning combination lottery table written in the selection table storage unit 39a from the CPU 30a. The winning combination lottery table determination unit 42 determines whether or not the types of the inputted winning combination lottery tables are the same, and feeds back the determination result to the CPU 30a.
[0037]
The medal hopper 44 pays out a specified number of payout medals to the medal tray 20 according to the type of winning combination or adds the specified number to the credit counter. The payout table in which the number of payout medals is determined for each type of winning combination is stored in the ROM area of the memory 31, and the CPU 30a reads this to drive the medal hopper 44.
[0038]
Next, the operation of the slot machine configured as described above will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, when the setting of the payout rate of the slot machine 10 is started, first, the setting key 26 is inserted into the keyhole 25 and rotated clockwise and set to the on position. Thereafter, the power switch 23 is turned on and the setting change button 24 is operated to select a payout rate.
[0039]
When the setting change button 24 is operated, a payout rate selection signal is input from the setting signal sensor 42 to the CPU 30a every time the setting change button 24 is pushed. In response to this, the CPU 30a writes the type of the selected winning lottery table in the RAM area of the memory 31. Then, while referring to the type of winning combination lottery table written in the memory 31, a table selection signal is input to the electronic lottery unit 40, and any one of the first to sixth setting tables 51a to 51f is selected by lottery. Tell what to use. Further, the CPU 30a inputs a payout rate selection signal to the sub-base 39. In the sub-base 39, the type of the selected table is written in the selected table storage unit 39a. When the selection of the payout rate is completed, the setting key 26 is rotated counterclockwise and set to the off position.
[0040]
When 1 to 3 medals are inserted prior to the start of the game in the normal mode, the number of inserted medals is counted by the CPU 30a. Thereafter, when a game start operation is performed by the start lever 18, a game start signal is input from the start signal sensor 33 to the CPU 30a, and rotation of the first to third reels 14a to 14c is started.
[0041]
At the same time, the electronic lottery unit 40 samples a random number, and the value is collated with the setting table selected from the first to sixth setting tables 51a to 51f. As a result, the type of the winning combination or winning combination is determined, and the winning combination determination signal is fed back to the CPU 30a. When the type of winning combination is determined by the winning combination determining unit 41, the operation of the stop buttons 19a to 19c is validated. The CPU 30a monitors the operation timing of the stop buttons 19a to 19c while referring to the count value of the pulse counter provided for each reel, and the winning pattern determined by the winning combination determining unit 41 is stopped on the winning effective line. Stop control of the 1st-3rd reels 14a-14c is performed so that it may be easy.
[0042]
When the game is started, the CPU 30a refers to the type of the winning combination lottery table written in the selection table storage unit 39a and the memory 31, and determines the type of the winning combination lottery table written in the winning combination lottery table. Input to the determination unit 41. In the winning combination lottery table determination unit 41, it is determined whether or not the types of the input winning combination lottery tables are the same, and the determination result is fed back to the CPU 30a. It should be noted that an appropriate timing such as when a medal is inserted or when a medal is bet may be set as “game start”, not only when the start lever is operated.
[0043]
If the types of the winning combination lottery tables written in the selection table storage unit 39a and the memory 31 are not the same, the CPU 30a outputs an error signal to the error display unit 17 to display an error, and perform game processing. Interrupt. Thereby, the employee of the game hall can detect that the payout rate has been changed. In this case, since it is monitored whether or not the payout rate is changed every time the game is played, it is possible to discover that the goto action is performed immediately after the payout rate is changed. When the types of the winning combination lottery tables written in the selection table storage unit 39a and the memory 31 are the same, the game processing is continued. As a result, the CPU 30a functions as an error signal output unit.
[0044]
