Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that is installed and used in a game hall such as a pachinko parlor.

  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, a lottery to determine one of the winners and multiple types of winning roles will be selected as the winning role lottery. A state in which the symbols to be arranged are arranged on the winning effective line is regarded as a winning.

  A slot machine installed and used in a game hall such as a pachinko parlor is called a pachislot machine, and given a certain value to medals, the medals earned by playing the game can be exchanged for various prizes. In general, slot machines are provided with a normal mode in which a game is played by betting 1 to 3 medals, and a bonus game mode that makes it easier to acquire medals than in the normal mode. Since a player plays a game for the purpose of acquiring a large number of medals, it is general to select a table that is easy to obtain the right to shift to the bonus game mode and play the game. Examples of the bonus game mode include a big bonus (hereinafter referred to as BB) mode and a regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as RB) mode. Transition to the bonus game mode is triggered by the winning of a special winning combination provided as one of the winning combinations.

  In the BB mode, the transition to the RB mode is repeated a predetermined number of times (for example, three times). In the RB mode, for example, a predetermined winning combination is won a maximum of 8 times or a maximum of 12 games are played. In the BB mode, the RB introduction mode is entered before the RB mode is entered. The game in the RB introduction mode is performed by betting 1 to 3 medals, and the win probability of the small role is higher than that in the normal mode. In the BB mode, it is a condition that the game in the RB introduction mode is performed 30 times or the RB mode is shifted to the RB mode a predetermined number of times. it can.

  The slot machine (game machine) 2 shown in FIG. 1 is provided with a BB mode and an RB mode as bonus game modes in addition to the normal mode. If the winning combination lottery in the normal mode wins the special winning combination BB and wins the BB, the mode is changed from the normal mode to the BB mode. In addition, when the winning combination lottery in the normal mode is won and the RB combination that is the special winning combination is won and the RB combination is won, the mode is switched from the normal mode to the RB mode.

  The slot machine 2 is provided with an upper front door 4 and a lower front door 5 on the front surface of the storage box 3. A display window 6 is provided in the upper front door 4, and a first reel 14 a, a second reel 14 b, and a third reel 14 c are rotatably incorporated in the back of the display window 6. A liquid crystal screen 15 which is a liquid crystal display device is arranged on the right side of the display window 6. As is well known, a plurality of types of symbols are arranged at a constant pitch on the outer periphery of the first to third reels 14a to 14c, and three symbols per reel can be observed through the display window 6 when the reels are stopped. Become. As a result, a total of five straight winning winning lines in which the symbols of the reels are combined one by one and three in the horizontal direction are set.

  Prior to the start of the game, when one medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 16, the winning line in the center horizontal is activated. The book winning line is activated. In addition, it is possible to credit (store) up to 50 medals. For example, four symbols per reel can be observed from the display window 6 and, in addition to the four winning lines, another prize that is folded to combine one symbol for each reel. It is also possible to set an effective line. Further, the display form of the first to third reels 14a to 14c by the display window 6 is not limited to the above, and for example, a plurality of display windows corresponding to each of the first to third reels 14a to 14c. May be provided.

  A liquid crystal screen 15 which is a liquid crystal display device is arranged on the side of the display window 6. The liquid crystal screen 15 is controlled by a liquid crystal screen controller 25 (see FIG. 2). On this liquid crystal screen 15, the player has the right to win a winning combination such as an effect based on an image or a movie based on the gaming state during a game, a BB role that shifts to the BB mode, and an RB role that shifts to the RB mode. An image for notifying that it has been given is displayed.

  When 1 to 3 medals are inserted into the medal insertion slot 16 and the start lever 18 is operated, the first to third reels 14a to 14c are simultaneously rotated. By operating these stop buttons 19a to 19c, the first to third reels 14a to 14c corresponding to the buttons are individually stopped. Various operation buttons such as a bet button and a payout button are provided on the operation panel above the stop buttons 19a to 19c. Since the functions of these operation buttons are well known, the details thereof are omitted.

  A medal tray 20 is provided at the bottom of the storage box 3, and a payout medal obtained when a prize is obtained in the game is paid out from the payout opening 21 to the medal tray 20.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the operation of the slot machine 2 is basically controlled by a control unit 31 including a CPU 29 and a memory 30. In addition to the CPU 29 and the memory 30, the control unit 31 includes an electronic lottery unit 39, a winning combination determining unit (winning combination determining unit) 40, a special winning combination storing unit (special winning combination storing unit) 41, a point conversion table (A ) 42a, point conversion table (B) 42b, point conversion table (C) 42c, special winning combination release unit (special winning combination release unit) 43, release condition setting unit (release condition setting unit) 44, and timer 45 are provided. It has been.

  The medal sensor 32 detects an appropriate medal inserted from the medal slot 16 and inputs it to the CPU 29. A selector is incorporated in the back of the medal slot 16 and an inappropriate medal is discharged to the medal tray 20. In addition, when a medal is inserted at an inappropriate timing, for example, a medal that is inserted in the middle of a game or while various operation buttons are pressed is not passed through the medal sensor 32. The medal tray 20 is discharged.

  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. When the credit function is used, a medal insertion operation is performed by operating the bet button described above, and the bet number is sequentially subtracted from the credit number. Further, when a game is performed and a winning with a medal payout is obtained, a payout medal is also credited, and a medal credited when the payout button is operated is paid out to the medal tray 20.

  The CPU 29 counts the number of 1 to 3 medals inserted in playing 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).

  The start switch sensor 33 inputs a game start signal to the CPU 29 when the start lever 18 is operated after 1 to 3 medals are inserted. In response to the game start signal, the CPU 29 rotates the first to third reels 14a to 14c based on the game execution program stored in the ROM area of the memory 30 and starts game processing. In addition to the normal mode, the game execution program includes a program that shifts to the BB mode or the RB mode and executes game processing.

  Driving and stopping control of the first to third reels 14a to 14c is performed by the symbol portion drive control unit 34. For example, a reel drive controller is preferably used as the symbol part drive control part. Each reel is fixed to a drive shaft of an individual stepping motor 35a to 35c, and each reel is controlled by controlling the driving of each stepping motor 35a to 35c. The RAM area of the memory 30 serves as a working area, and is used for temporary storage or rewriting of flags and data used for each game.

  Since the stepping motors 35a to 35c rotate at a rotation angle corresponding to the number of supplied drive pulses, the CPU 29 controls the rotation angle of the first to third reels 14a to 14c by controlling the number of supplied drive pulses. The stop position of the reel can be determined by stopping the supply of the drive pulse. In each reel, reflection signal portions 36a to 36c are integrally formed at the 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 29 as a reset signal for each reel.

  The control unit 31 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.

  A symbol table is stored in the ROM area of the memory 30, and the symbol table represents the number of drive pulses corresponding to the rotation angle from the reference position of each reel and the symbols 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 symbol 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 symbol will move on the winning line.

  The stop button sensors 38a to 38c input a stop signal for each reel to the CPU 29 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.

  The stop control of the first to third reels 14a to 14c is performed within the range of 0 to 4 frames (retraction range) for 5 symbols. For example, when the stop buttons 19a to 19c are operated, the winning effective line When the symbols constituting the winning combination won in the lottery are included in the four symbols consecutive from the symbols positioned above, the first to third reels 14a to 14c are stopped. The time until the time is delayed and the stop control of the first to third reels 14a to 14c is performed so that the symbols constituting the winning combination stop on the winning effective line.

  When the stop buttons 19a to 19c are operated so as to win a winning combination that has not been won, the first to third reels 14a to 14c are stopped so that a symbol that has not been won does not stop on the winning line. Control is performed. In addition, when a special winning combination stored in the special winning combination storing unit 41, which will be described later, is not granted to the player to win the special winning combination, the stop is made so that the special winning combination is won. When the buttons 19a to 19c are operated, stop control of the first to third reels 14a to 14c is performed so that the symbols constituting the special winning combination do not stop on the winning winning line.

  When a plurality of stop buttons are operated almost simultaneously, only the reel corresponding to the stop button with the earlier operation timing stops, and when fully operated simultaneously, none of the reels stop. In addition, the reel stop control is not limited to the symbols that make up the winning combination, so-called reach that informs the player of the winning combination that is winning internally by the type or combination of symbols stopped on the winning line. You may make it display eyes.

  The CPU 29 operates the electronic lottery unit 39 in response to the game start signal. The electronic lottery unit 39 includes a random number generator and a random number sampling circuit, and draws one random value every time a game is started. The random value selected by lottery is input to the winning combination determining unit 40. The winning combination determination unit 40 determines what type of winning combination is awarded in the currently executed game according to the input value.

  The winning combination determination unit 40 is provided with a plurality of winning combination lottery tables in which all random numbers generated by the random number generator of the electronic lottery unit 39 are grouped into a plurality of numerical ranges, and the winning combination is assigned to each group. It has been. The winning combination lottery table used in the normal mode is a small number in which random values sampled in games in the normal mode only perform a BB combination that shifts to the BB mode, an RB combination that shifts to the RB mode, and a predetermined number of medals. Used to determine which winning group, such as a replay role that gives the right to play the next game with the same number of bets without inserting medals, or a winning combination that does not cause any win . The type of winning combination and the symbols that can be won are determined depending on which sampled random number value belongs to the group to which the winning combination is assigned. Note that there are a plurality of types of small role winning symbols, and a payout medal is assigned to each.

  In addition to the winning combination lottery table used in the normal mode, the winning combination determining unit 40 is provided with a winning combination lottery table used in the BB mode and the RB mode.

  The special winning combination storing unit 41 writes the BB flag in the memory 30 every time the winning combination determining unit 40 determines the BB combination in the game in the normal mode, and every time the RB winning combination is determined. The right to win the BB combination and the RB combination is reserved. When the player is given the right to win the BB or RB combination stored in the special winning combination storing unit 41 by the special winning combination releasing unit 43 described later, the special winning combination storing unit 41 gives the player The BB flag or RB flag corresponding to the granted right is deleted from the memory 30, and the right to win the BB combination or RB combination is released.

  The point conversion tables (A) to (C) 42a to 42c are data tables used in the special winning combination releasing unit 43, and any one of the loses determined by the winning combination determining unit 40 and a plurality of types of winning combinations is won. In this case, the points accumulated by the special winning combination releasing unit 43 are associated with the types of lost and winning combinations. Each of the point conversion tables (A) to (C) 42a to 42c is different in points associated with the types of losers and winning combinations. Note that the point conversion table is not limited to three types, and an appropriate type may be provided according to the configuration of the gaming machine.

  The special winning combination release unit 43 wins either a loser or multiple types of winning combinations in a game in the normal mode in which the right to win the BB or RB combination is stored in the special winning combination storage unit 41 Sometimes, any one of the point conversion tables (A) to (C) 42a to 42c is referred to via the CPU 29, and the points associated with each of the lost and plural types of winning combinations are integrated. The special winning combination release unit 43 determines a point conversion table to be used every time the normal mode is started in a state where the right to win the BB or RB combination is stored in the special winning combination storage unit 41. Reset accumulated value to zero. Each time the special winning combination release unit 43 accumulates points, the integrated value of points is compared with the release condition value X set in the special winning combination release unit 43, and the integrated value of points is the release condition value X. When this happens, a signal is input to the CPU 29 to give the player the right to win the BB combination or RB combination stored in the special winning combination storage unit 41. When the player operates the stop buttons 19a to 19c so as to win the BB role or RB role corresponding to the granted right, the CPU 29 causes the symbols constituting the BB role or RB role to stop on the winning active line. In addition, stop control of the first to third reels 14a to 14c is performed. The special winning combination releasing unit 43 performs a lottery every time a predetermined condition is satisfied, for example, when a time measured by a timer 45 described later reaches a predetermined time (for example, 18 minutes), and every time the lottery is won, Change the point conversion table used to another point conversion table. In addition to the above-described conditions, the special winning combination releasing unit 43, for example, every time a specific winning combination (such as “watermelon” as a small combination) wins, converts the point conversion table used to another point conversion table. Change to The condition for changing the point conversion table used by the special winning combination releasing unit 43 to another point conversion table is not limited to the above, and for example, every time the right to win a special winning combination is released. For example, an appropriate condition may be set. The point conversion table to be set or changed may be determined by an appropriate method, for example, selected by lottery.

  The release condition setting unit 44 sends the release condition value X () to the special winning combination release unit 43 every time the normal mode is started in a state where the right to win the BB combination or the RB combination is stored in the special winning combination storage unit 41. For example, 10,000 points) are set via the CPU 29. The discharge condition setting unit 44 performs lottery every time a predetermined condition is satisfied, for example, when a time measured by a timer 45 described later reaches a predetermined time (for example, 50 minutes), and every time the lottery is won. The release condition value X of the special winning combination release unit 43 is changed via the CPU 29. In addition to the above conditions, the release condition setting unit 44 sets the release condition value X of the special winning combination releasing unit 43 every time a specific winning combination (such as a third consecutive replay combination) is won, for example. It changes via CPU29. Note that the condition for the release condition setting unit 44 to change the release condition value X is not limited to the above, and an appropriate condition may be set, for example, every time a right to win a special winning combination is released. . The release condition value X to be set or changed may be determined by an appropriate method, for example, a value selected by lottery from a plurality of types of values.

  The timer 45 counts time from when the point conversion table used by the special winning combination releasing unit 43 is determined or changed and from when the release condition setting unit 44 sets or changes the release condition value X of the special winning combination releasing unit 43. To start. The time measured from when the point conversion table used by the special winning combination releasing unit 43 is determined or changed is input to the special winning combination releasing unit 43 via the CPU 29, and the release condition setting unit 44 releases the special winning combination releasing unit 43. The time measured value from the time when the condition value X is set or changed is input to the discharge condition setting unit 44 via the CPU 29.

  The medal payout device 48 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. A 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 30, and the CPU 29 reads this to drive the medal payout device 48. For example, a medal hopper is preferably used as the medal payout device.

  Next, the operation of the slot machine 2 configured as described above will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. 3 showing the game flow.

  In the slot machine 2, a BB role and an RB role are set as a special winning combination, “Bell”, “Cherry” and “Watermelon” are set as a plurality of small roles, and a replay role is set. In addition, the timing value of the timer 45 that triggers the change of the point conversion table used by the special winning combination releasing unit 43 to another point conversion table is set to 18 minutes, and the specific winning combination is set to “watermelon” Yes. In addition, the timing value of the timer 45, which triggers the release condition setting unit 44 to change the release condition value X, is set to 50 minutes, and the specific winning combination is set to the third consecutive replay combination. In each of the point conversion tables (A) to (C) 42a to 42c, the replay role = 100 points, “Bell” = 100 points, “Cherry” = 1000 points, “Watermelon” = 500 points, Loss = −10 points, For example, 20 consecutive losses are set to 10000 points.

  First, the normal mode in a state where the right to win the BB combination and the RB combination is not stored in the special winning combination storing unit 41 is started. When the BB combination or the RB combination is won in the normal mode game, the special winning combination storing unit 41 stores the right to win the BB combination and the RB combination.

  When the normal mode in which the right to win the BB role or the RB role is stored in the special winning combination storing unit 41 is started, the special winning combination releasing unit 43 determines the point conversion table to be used and accumulates points. The value is reset to zero, and the release condition setting unit 44 sets the release condition value X in the special winning combination releasing unit 43 to a value such as 10,000 points. The timer 45 starts timing from the time point when the point conversion table used by the special winning combination releasing unit 43 is determined and the time point when the release condition setting unit 44 sets the release condition value X of the special winning combination releasing unit 43.

  When any of the game loses and the plurality of types of winning combinations wins, the special winning combination releasing unit 43 refers to the point conversion table and accumulates points associated with each of the loses and the plurality of types of winning combinations. Then, the accumulated value of points is compared with the release condition value X set in the special winning combination releasing unit 43. When the integrated value of points becomes equal to or greater than the releasing condition value X, the special winning combination releasing unit 43 The player is given the right to win the BB combination or the RB combination stored in the special winning combination storing unit 41. When the player wins the BB combination or RB combination corresponding to the right granted, the gaming state is shifted from the normal mode to the BB mode or the RB mode. When the right stored in the special winning combination storage unit 41 remains when the BB mode or the RB mode is ended, the right to win the BB combination or the RB combination is stored in the special winning combination storage unit 41. The normal mode of state is repeated.

  When the special winning combination release unit 43 accumulates the points and the accumulated value of the points is less than the release condition value X, the special winning combination release unit 43 and the release condition setting unit 44 respectively Process based on the winning combination. The special winning combination release unit 43 draws a lottery if the time value measured by the timer 45 is 18 minutes or more, and wins the lottery, or if the winning combination is “watermelon”, the point conversion table is displayed. change. The release condition setting unit 44 performs a lottery if the time measured by the timer 45 is 50 minutes or more and wins the lottery, or when the winning combination is the third consecutive replay combination. Change the value X. The timer 45 re-measures the time from each of the time when the point conversion table used by the special winning combination releasing unit 43 is changed and the time when the release condition setting unit 44 changes the release condition value X of the special winning combination releasing unit 43.
