Description

  The present invention relates to a sparrow ball game machine, and more particularly to a sparrow ball game machine in which a special game is started when a special combination is established and the special game is continued for a predetermined number of games when a special continuation combination is established.

  Conventionally, a predetermined number of entrances with mahjong tiles are provided at the bottom of the game board on which various game parts are arranged, and game medals (hereinafter simply referred to as “medals”) are inserted into the medal slot. After that, for example, when 14 game balls per game are launched on the game board and each game ball enters one of the entrances, the pattern of the mahjong tile corresponding to the entrance is There is a sparrow game machine that functions to be displayed on a display device arranged on a game board. Also, in recent years, when a game medal inserted into the medal slot is detected based on the detection switch, a function of automatically displaying a mahjong tile pattern on the display device in an appropriate combination (that is, automatic distribution) is provided. A sparrow ball game machine is also known.

  In the above sparrow ball game machine, when an unnecessary switch is thrown away by operating the operation switch from the hands displayed on the display device, one game ball can be launched again. The operation and the re-launching operation are repeatedly performed within a predetermined number of times, and when a predetermined rising combination is completed, a score is calculated, and a number of game medals corresponding to the score are paid out.

  By the way, in the sparrow ball gaming machine as described above, there are known two types of special games (bonus games), a chance game and a big game (see Patent Document 1). For example, when the game is completed with a special role (chance role) selected at the start of the game, the attacker operating port on the game board surface is valid and the game ball passes through the attacker operating port. When the attacker opens, a predetermined number of balls (for example, five balls) can be entered, and at that time, each time a game ball enters the attacker, the player can select a desired basket, for example, by operating the selection button. You can choose as self-restraint. As a result, the player can aim for a role with a higher score, and can acquire many game medals.

  Also, the big game is, for example, when a special continuation role (big role) among the special roles selected at the start of the game is completed, the game is continued for a plurality of times from the next time following the chance game state. The game (for example, 14 times) is a game that is continuously in the same state as the chance game. As a result, the player can aim for a high score continuously, and a large number of game medals can be obtained.

  The automatic laying program P5 is a program for automatically determining 14 laid-out symbols randomly at the start of one game. This automatic catering program P4 uses the random number generated by the random number generating means to perform a process of determining 14 catering symbols from 108 mahjong tiles used in the sparrow ball game machine 1.

For example, the automatic layout program P5 can determine the 14 symbols required at the start of the game by performing the following processing.
(A) The spiders used in this sparrow ball game machine 1 are 27 kinds of spears, excluding chords from two ropes to eight ropes, for a total of 108. As shown in Table 1, to these used kites, symbol codes (hexadecimal numbers) of 01H to 1BH are given to 27 types of kites, and a total of 108 symbols composed of 27 types each. A data table in which four symbols from 0 to 107 are assigned to symbols is registered in the ROM 40 in advance.
(A) The automatic layout program P5 is provided with a random number generation program for generating a 5-digit random number, for example. Then, the automatic distribution program P5 divides the 5-digit random number generated by the random number generation program by 108 and calculates the remainder. Subsequently, with reference to Table 1, the symbol code of the bag corresponding to the remainder value is obtained from 01H to 1BH and determined as the symbol to which this symbol code is arranged.
(C) The above-mentioned process (a) is carried out 14 times in total, and 14 required symbols are determined at the start of the game. In addition, it is necessary to add the program which performs a randomization process to the program which generate | occur | produces this 5-digit random number so that a different random number may be generated each time. The 14 symbol codes determined by such processing are stored in the manual storage area of the RAM 42. The 14 pieces of layout data stored in the manual storage area are sorted and stored in ascending order of symbol codes.

  The special game combination lottery program P6 has a special combination data table P61 as shown in FIG. 10, which is a main part of the present invention, stored in the ROM 41. The special combination combination data table P61 refers to the special combination data table P61. This is a program for selecting a special combination 50 (chance combination 52 and big combination 51) that can acquire a special game right for each game. Specifically, in the special combination data table P61, a special combination 50 set in advance is distinguished from a chance combination 52 and a big combination 51. For example, two chance combinations 52 and 1 in the horizontal direction in the figure are stored. Two big roles 51 are stored in association with each other. In other words, the special game combination lottery program P6 has one table Tbn (n is, for example, a random lottery) selected from the tables Tb1, Tb2, Tb3, Tb4, Tb5, and Tb6 associated in the horizontal direction in the figure. Will be selected.

  The chance combination and big combination in each table associated in the horizontal direction in this figure are, for example, a chance combination is established, and even if five free-choice self-determinations are performed by a special game to be described later, the established combination From the role, the relationship is such that the big role of the table is not established. In other words, for example, even if the table Tb1 is selected in the game, and five bags are exchanged from the state in which “Dai-San Yuan” or “Ichitsukantsu” is established, “Kokushi Musou” is not established. “Dai-Sangen” is not established from “Kyuren Bao-an” and “Kan-Kun” and “Character Color” is not established from “Jun Zankou” and “Nijikou”. It is configured so that “one head” is not established from “old head” and “mixed head”.

  The contents of the big combination 51 and the chance combination 52 of the table Tbn selected in this way are transmitted to a screen display program P32 described later, and are displayed on the big game rising combination display section 32 and the chance game rising combination display section 33 shown in FIG. Each is displayed.

  In this embodiment, for example, six types of tables Tb1 to Tb6 are given as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and there are many relationships between other chance roles and big roles, that is, more tables. The configuration may include data.

  On the other hand, the Dora lottery program P7 shown in FIG. 6 is a program for determining the front and back Dora by lottery in the same manner at the start of the game.

  In the winning determination program P8, when the 14 rules are determined by the automatic allocation program P5, and when the player performs his own operation, is the combination of the rising combinations set in advance? It is a program for determining whether or not. As the winning combination, the data table shown in Table 2, that is, the rising winning code (the rising winning code is not displayed in Table 2) and the score that the player can obtain for the rising winning combination (Number of acquired medals) is stored in advance in the winning determination program P8 or the ROM 41. Then, when the winning determination program P8 determines that the rising combination is completed for the current 14 manuals, the main control board Ka obtains the control command for completing the rising combination, the code of the rising combination, and the acquisition. The process of transmitting the obtained score etc. to the image control board Kc via the sub-control board Kb is performed.

  In addition, when the special combination establishment determination program P81 determines, for example, that the winning combination is a combination of rising combinations by the winning determination program P8, the special combination selected from the special combination data table P61 is selected as the rising combination. It is determined whether it corresponds to 50 (three roles in the selected table Tbn). If the special combination 50 is established (corresponding), a signal indicating that the special combination has been established is output to a special game control program P10 or a special game screen display program P322, which will be described later.

  Furthermore, the special continuation combination establishment determination program P82 determines whether the rising combination is the big combination 51 in the special combination 50 when the special combination formation determination program P81 determines that the special combination 50 has been established. Determine whether. When the big combination 51 is established (corresponding), a signal indicating that the big combination has been established is output to a special game continuation control program P11, a special game screen display program P322, etc., which will be described later. It should be noted that the case where the special continuation combination establishment determination program P82 does not determine the formation of the big combination 51 is the case where only the formation of the special combination 50 is determined by the special combination formation determination program P81, that is, the chance combination 52 is won. It turns out that.

  The operation support program P9 is a program for assisting the player with operations related to the game progress by using the screen of the display device 14 and an interactive method. In particular, the operation support program P9 outputs a signal to the screen display program P32 and displays on the screen of the display device 14 a display such as “please refrain”, “please select abandonment”, etc. Support the operation.

  The special game control program P10 receives a signal indicating that the special combination 50 output from the special combination establishment determination program P81 is established, turns on a ball sensor (not shown) provided in the attacker operation passage port 10, This is a program for determining the validity / invalidity of the ball entering the attacker operation passage opening 10 which is an opportunity to open the attacker 9. In other words, when the special game control program P10 determines that the ball entering the attacker operating passage 10 is valid, a special game right that allows the attacker 9 to be released and to freely select himself / herself is generated. The special game is controlled to start.

  The special game continuation control program P11 receives a signal indicating that the big combination 51 output from the special continuation combination establishment determination program P82 is established, and continues for, for example, 13 games (14 games including the game) from the next game onward. This is a program for turning on a ball entry sensor (not shown) provided in the attacker operating passage 10. In other words, if the special game continuation control program P11 continues to enable the player to enter the attacker operating passage 10 for 13 games from the next game onward, the special game continues for 14 games including the game. A right is created.

  The special game self-restraint selection program P12 allows the player to freely select the symbol of the trap to be self-recognized when a signal indicating that a game ball has entered the attacker 9 is input in a game in which a special game right has been acquired. It is a program for performing the operation to do. In other words, in the present sparrow ball game machine 1, the player freely selects and obtains and exchanges the favorite samurai symbols other than the limitation of the number of discarded samurai (up to 4 same samurai), for example. The same can be done.

  In the present sparrow ball game machine 1, a case where one game ball is freely selected every time one game ball enters the attacker 9 is described as an example. When the game balls enter the attacker 9, a plurality of (for example, two to five) self-restrictions may be freely selected.

  The symbol display program P13 relates to information relating to the manual and discarding detected by the main board operation control program P1, information relating to the front dora detected by the dora lottery program P7, and the back dora detected by the dora lottery program P7. The information, the information on the number of game medals stored and the number of game medals acquired by the medal management program P3, and the information on the number of remaining game balls detected by the game ball management program P4 are received. Control is performed to cause the dot matrix display 39 (see FIG. 5) or a segment display (not shown) to perform display.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the programs installed in the ROM 41 of the sub control board Kb are composed of a sub board operation control program P21, a communication control program P22, a lamp control program P23, a rising haze determination program P24, and the like. ing. Further, the rising wrinkle determination program P24 includes a hearing pattern determination program P241, a rising wrinkle type determination program P242, and a rising wrinkle determination extraction program P243.

  The sub board operation control program P21 is a program that decodes various control commands transmitted from the main control board Ka, and controls the execution of the above programs in response to the control commands.

  The communication control program P22 is a program for receiving data from the main control board Ka and performing communication processing with the image control boards Kc and Kd. When the image control boards Kc and Kd receive these various control commands and their control data transmitted from the sub-control board Kb, the image control boards Kc and Kd display effects images and information on the display device 14 and the liquid crystal display device 38 by program processing. Further, the sound and sound effects for production are output from the speaker 6 via the sound / sound effect output program P41 (see FIG. 8).

  The lamp control program P23 is a program for controlling light emission (turning on, turning off, blinking) of the lamp 7 and the like based on a control command transmitted from the main control board Ka and its control data.

  The rising kit determining program P24 is a game for completing a preset rising combination based on the current thirteen moves transmitted from the main control board Ka after the player performs a throwing kit operation. This is a program for supporting a required operation performed by a person (for example, assisting a bag to be self-sufficient). This rising kite determination program P24 is the presence / absence of a kite (rising kite) that can complete the climbing combination when the player performs one's own manipulation on the current thirteen manual commands and adds one kite. And a process for supporting the wrinkles to be self-recognized in advance (display processing on the liquid crystal display device 38 in FIGS. 1 and 2 and the rising wrinkle display unit 31 in FIG. 4) via a screen display program P32 described later. It is a program to do. Then, when the heel to be self-recognized is extracted in order to complete the rising combination, the rising heel determination program P24 performs control to display the design of the heel through the image control board Kc.

  The main board operation control program P1 of the main control board Ka has executed the winning determination program P8 to complete the rising combination when the player fires a game ball and performs self-control and the number of hands is 14 Determine whether or not. If the player does not complete the winning combination, each time the player performs an operation of discarding one unnecessary piece from the 14 pieces, it is stored in the table storage area. The symbol code of the 13 handed handles is transmitted to the sub-control board Kb together with the control command. At this time, the 13 symbol codes are sorted in ascending order and transmitted to the sub control board Kb. When the sub-board operation control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb receives the 13 hand code symbols, the sub-board operation control program P21 stores the received data in the RAM 42 and then proceeds to control the wrinkle determination program P24. Then, the rising eye determination program P24 sequentially operates the hearing pattern determination program P241, the rising eye type determination program P242, and the rising eye determination extraction program P243.

  When the reach button 18 is operated, the hearing pattern determination program P241 immediately before the combination of the hand code symbols displayed on the hand display unit 35 and the self display unit 36 at this time is completed. It is determined whether or not it is in a hearing state, and the determination result is output.

  The rising haze determination extraction program P243 determines and extracts by a predetermined process, and transmits all of the rising haze symbol codes stored in the RAM 42 to the image control boards Kc and Kd together with the control command to obtain the image control board Kc. When the control for displaying the symbol corresponding to the symbol code of the rising color is performed, the rising symbol determination program P24 of the sub-control board Kb receives the symbol code of the rising symbol when the screen code is received. Through the P32 game effect display program P3212 and the like, the received symbol of the rising salmon code is displayed on the rising salmon display unit 31 and the liquid crystal display device 38 as a candidate for the rising salmon. At this time, sound may be output from the speaker 6. In this case, both the rising wrinkle display unit 31 and the liquid crystal display device 38 are simultaneously displayed on the rising wrinkle assist (support) and the like. In addition to the above display, image display using an effect character is performed.

  Next, a program installed in the ROM 41 of the image control board Kc will be described with reference to FIG. This program includes an image board operation control program P31, a screen display program P32, a sound / sound effect output program P41, and the like. The outline of the processing contents of these programs will be described below.

  The image board operation control program P31 is a program that decodes various control commands transmitted from the sub control board Kb and controls the execution of the above programs in response to these control commands.

  The screen display program P32 and the sound / sound effect output program P41 are a process for displaying various effect images on the display device 14 based on the control command and control data transmitted from the sub-control board Kb, A process for outputting a production sound, sound effect, or warning sound from the speaker 6 is performed.

The normal game screen display program P321 and the special game screen display program P321 A game screen display program P322 is provided.

  The normal game screen display program P321 displays various effect images on the display device 14 and various types of support for the player when the player is playing a normal game since the power of the sparrow ball game machine 1 is turned on. This is a program for performing processing for displaying an image, and includes an initial effect display program P3211 and a game effect display program P3212 as subprograms.

  The initial effect display program P3211 performs processing such as displaying an effect screen when the power is turned on, for example, a landscape screen on the display device 14.

  The game effect display program P3212 is configured to have a function of displaying a screen having contents as shown in FIG. For example, as the game progresses, each time the player performs a throw-in operation, or in the case of a normal game game, the self-control operation by launching a game ball, etc., the main control board Ka passes through the sub-control board Kb. A process for displaying the current design of the hand tile, the design of the discarded kite, and the design of the kite determined to be the rising kite transmitted from the sub-control board Kb based on the control command and its control data transmitted When a rising combination is completed, the program includes a program including various display means such as a process for displaying the number of points obtained for the rising combination.

  The special game screen display program P322 determines that the chance combination 52 or the big combination 51 is established in the special combination establishment determination program P81 and / or the special continuation combination determination program P82, and starts the special game by the special game control program P10. It is a program that performs processing to display various effect screens on the display device 14 under control. This special game screen display program P322 is further provided with a right acquisition effect display program P3221 for effect display when the player has completed a winning combination that allows the player to acquire special game rights, and the special game self-restriction selection program P12. Is provided with a self-candidate candidate selection support program P3222 for supporting free selection self-restraint.

  The right acquisition effect display program P3221 alternately displays the explanation of the rising role and the display of the chance game right establishment or the big game right establishment at a predetermined time interval on the rising eye display unit 31 of the display device 14. A process for notifying that the right of the chance game or the big game has been established.

  The self-candidate candidate selection support program P3222 is a program that is activated when the player has acquired the right to a special game. The self-candidate candidate design displayed on the display device 14 is selected by the right-selection right shift button 19 or The operation of selecting the symbol of the kite to be self-supported by the interactive method while operating the screen selection left shift button 20 and scrolling is supported.

  The sound / sound effect output program P41 generates various production sounds, sound effects, or warning sounds as the game progresses based on the control command and its control data transmitted from the communication control program P22 of the sub control board Kb. This is a program for outputting from the speaker 6.

  Although not shown, the ROM 41 of the image control board Kd is loaded with programs having the same functions as the image board operation control program P31 and the screen display program P32 described for the image control board Kc. According to the program having the same function as the screen display program P32 mounted on the ROM 41 of the image control board Kd, for example, the screen display program P32 displays on the display device 14 the effects at the time of assist related to the rising habit. The content different from the assist effect image to be displayed is displayed.

  A program for controlling the operation of each of the control boards Ka, Kb, Kc, and Kd is developed using an assembler language, C language, Visual Basic language, or the like, and is a machine language that is a program that can be executed by the CPU 40 of each board. The programs translated into programs are stored in the ROM 41 of each control board Ka, Kb, Kc, Kd.

  Next, an outline of the game procedure of the sparrow ball gaming machine 1 and the processing of each program associated with this procedure will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  One game starts when a player inserts a medal into the medal slot 15, presses the game start button 24, and the automatic layout program P5 distributes 14 hands. Then, the game progresses according to the control of each program that operates based on the input signals and control signals generated from various operation buttons and sensors such as the throw-away buttons 16a, 16b,. Become.

  First, in the initial setting process of step S1, when the power of the sparrow ball game machine 1 is turned on, the main board operation control program P1 of the main control board Ka initializes the storage area of the RAM 42 of the main control board Ka. Subsequently, the main board operation control program P1 transmits an initialization control command when the power is turned on to the sub control board Kb, and the sub control board Kb transmits the initialization control command to the image control boards Kc and Kd. Upon receiving this initialization control command, the sub control board Kb and the image control boards Kc and Kd initialize the storage area of the RAM 42 and the initial effect display program P3211 mounted on the image control board Kc The display screen 14 is displayed, for example, a landscape screen is displayed on the display device 14.

  When the sub control board Kb receives the initialization control command when the power is turned on, the sub board operation control program P21, as described above, stores the various image data, audio / audio data stored in the ROM 41 of the sub control board Kb. The sound effect data is transmitted to the image control board Kc, and the image board operation control program P31 of the image control board Kc performs a process of storing the received image and sound / sound effect data in the RAM 42.

  Then, in the game progress process of step S2, when the player inserts a medal into the medal slot 15, the main board operation control program P1 detects the medal insertion signal, and the medal management program P3 accompanies the game medal storage number. Is added to “1”. Subsequently, when the player presses the game start button 24 and the main board operation control program P1 detects a game start signal from the game start button 24, a game of one game can be started. Then, the main board operation control program P1 transmits a game start control command to the image control board Kc via the sub control board Kb. Based on this control command, the game effect display program P3212 of the image control board Kc displays an effect image at the start of the game on the display device 14 and outputs sound from the speaker 6 by the sound / sound effect output program P41. In this way, one game of the sparrow ball game machine 1 is started.

  Subsequently, in the layout process of step S3, the automatic layout program P5 is activated under the control of the main board operation control program P1, and the 14 layout patterns required for starting the game are programmed. Decide automatically. The automatic layout program P5 sequentially stores the 14 symbol codes automatically arranged in the manual storage area of the RAM 42, and then, in a predetermined order, for example, ascending order of the symbol codes, that is, insulator, tube, cord , Wind tiles, and ternary tiles are sorted in order (stored) and stored in the manual storage area.

  Subsequently, the automatic layout program P5 transmits the 14 distributed symbol codes together with the control command to the sub-control board Kb. When the sub-board operation control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb receives this distributed symbol code, it stores it in the RAM 42 and transmits these 14 allocated symbol codes to the image control board Kc.

  The sub-board operation control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb uses the disclosed number table to display the number of bags disclosed at the current game place for the 14 game symbols transmitted from the main control board Ka. Process to count. Further, when the game effect display program P3212 of the image control board Kc receives the 14 design codes, the game design display program P3212 displays the image of the design shown in FIG. Processing to display on the display unit 36 is performed. While the 14 automatic arrangements are not decided, the back side of the bag or the non-displayed pattern is displayed as the initial screen on the manual display unit 35 and the self-display unit 36 that displays the self-displayed symbol. Process to display.

  Then, in the dra lottery process in step S4, the dora lottery program P7 of the main control board Ka draws the front and back dramas, and the winning determination program P8 and the game effect of the image control board Kc for the symbol code of that bag. It transmits to the display program P3212. The game effect display program P3212 displays images of the front and back side of the back dragon symbol as shown in FIG. The process which displays on the part 29 and the back side display part 30 is performed. In addition, the winning determination program P8 adds a score to the rising combination based on the symbol codes of the front and back drags when the after-mentioned rising combination is established (S9) (see Table 2).

  Subsequently, in the special game role determination display process in step S5, the special role selection program P6 (but operates when a normal game is being played and does not operate in an ongoing game when the big role is established). Is activated, the table Tbn is selected / lotted from the special combination data table P61, and the big combination 51 and the chance combination 52 are selected. Then, each data (encoded data) of the rising combination of the big combination 51 and the chance combination 52 determined by the processing of the special combination selection program P6 (encoded data) is transmitted together with the control command via the sub control substrate Kb to the image control substrate Kc. Sent to.

  When the game effect display program P3212 of the image control board Kc receives the winning combination code that can acquire the big winning combination 51 and the chance winning combination 52, the big winning combination and the chance winning combination are displayed in the big game rising combination display section 32 and the chance increasing combination display section, respectively. The processing to be displayed on 33 is performed.

  Then, in the game start process of step S6, the main board operation control program P1 performs control to display on the display device 14 the 14 symbols of the game that have been automatically arranged, the big game combination, the chance game combination, the front dora, etc. When completed, the display device 14 is controlled so as to notify the player that the game start condition has been established by screen display or voice. Subsequently, the main board operation control program P1 operates the winning determination program P8 to perform a process of determining whether or not the 14 hands that have been automatically arranged have already completed the winning combination.

  When the automatically arranged 14 candy symbols have not been completed and the winning combination has not been completed, the main board operation control program P1 prompts the player to discard an unnecessary candy from the hand. A control command for performing screen display is transmitted to the image control boards Kc and Kd via the sub control board Kb. When the image control boards Kc and Kd receive this control command, the game effect display program P3212 displays a message for prompting the user to discard one unnecessary bag from the display table 14 and the liquid crystal display unit 38. Process to be displayed. At this time, the voice / sound effect output program P41 may be operated to perform a process of prompting together with the voice.

  If the winning combination is completed in this determination process, the winning determination program P8 determines the rising combination that has been set in advance and the score that the player can acquire (the number of acquired medals). Is determined with reference to the data in Table 2. Further, the winning determination program P8 transmits the winning combination, the acquired score, and the like to the image control board Kc via the sub control board Kb. When the image control board Kc receives the winning combination and the acquired score, the game effect display program P3212 displays the rising combination, the acquired score, and other effect images on the display device 14 for a predetermined time. Perform the process.

  Further, in the case where the rising combination is completed, when the selected big combination 51 and the chance combination 52 are established, the special combination establishment determination program P81 determines the establishment thereof, and further, the big combination 51 Is established, the establishment is determined by the special continuation combination establishment determination program P82, and a special game of a chance game or a big game, which will be described later, is controlled to start.

  As described above, in the case where the symbols of the 14 baskets that have been automatically arranged have not been raised and the winning combination has not been completed, in the discarding / self-resolving process in step S7, the player can use the manual display unit 35 and self-restricting. An operation of selecting a discarded candy from the candy symbol displayed on the heel display unit 36 is performed. Then, when the player decides on the design of the throwing bag, the player selects (turns on) one of the throwing buttons 16a, 16b, 16c,. Discard this bag. On the basis of this discarding pot selection signal, the main board operation control program P1 stores the symbol code of the discarding pot by performing the discarding operation in the RAM 42, and further stores it in the manual storage area of the RAM 42. The symbol code that was discarded from the handbag is deleted, and the process of making 13 handbags is performed.

  Subsequently, the main board operation control program P1 includes the image control board via the sub-control board Kb and the sub-control board Kb together with the control command of the discarded design code and the 13-hand design code. Processing to transmit to Kc is performed. When the game effect display program P3212 of the image control board Kc receives the symbol code that has been discarded, the symbol code corresponding to the symbol code is displayed on the discard symbol display unit 34, and the symbol codes of 13 manual symbols are received. Then, the process of displaying the symbol of the coral corresponding to these symbol codes on the hand symbol display unit 35 is performed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, the back side of the bag is displayed on the self-displaying portion 36.

  On the other hand, when the sub-board operation control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb receives the above 13 hand code symbols, the hearing pattern determination program P241, the rising-knot determination program P242 constituting the rising-hook determination program P24, and the rising By operating the wrinkle determination extraction program P243, as described above, it is determined whether or not there is a wrinkle (self-rotating) that should be self-recognized next in order to complete the rising combination for the current 13 hands. When a bag that completes the combination is extracted, a process of displaying the pattern of the bag on the display device 14 is performed.

  Subsequently, in the game ball launching process of step S8, the main board operation control program P1 of the main control board Ka operates the game ball management program P4 when the above-described process related to the abandonment / self-control operation by the player is completed. Then, a process of sending a game ball to the game ball launch position is performed. As a result, the player can operate the game ball launch lever 4 to launch the game ball into the game board surface 2.

  When the player launches a game ball and this game ball enters any of the entrances 11a, 11b, 11c,..., The corresponding sensor provided at each entrance 11 detects the game ball. As a result, a ball entry signal is generated. The game ball management program P4 decodes the incoming signal and performs a process of storing the symbol code of the kite (self-sucker) corresponding to the entered entrance into the manual storage area.

  Subsequently, in the hand determination process of step S9, the winning determination program P8 is operated, and it is determined whether or not the 14 hands have been raised and the combination is completed. Then, when the hand is raised and the winning combination is completed, as described above, it is determined what kind of rising role is set in advance and the score that the player can obtain is obtained. A process of transmitting to the image control board Kc via the control board Kb is performed. On the other hand, when the rising combination has not been completed, as described above, the player performs a discarding operation of throwing out one of the 14 hands that is considered unnecessary.

  In this way, the player operates the game ball launch lever 4 to launch the game ball into the game board surface 2 to enter the listening state, and the remaining game ball number display portion 27 has a value of “1” or more. If there is a display, the player can reach by operating the reach button 18 before performing the operation of throwing away the bag. However, when the above condition is not satisfied (when the listening state is not established), the reach button 18 cannot be operated to reach. After operating the reach button 18, one of the discard buttons 16 a, 16 b, 16 c,... Is operated to discard one of the basket patterns, or the self-discard button 17 is operated. When the self-cutting is performed, the design of the discarded candy is displayed on the discarded candy display unit 34 in the horizontal direction. In addition, the back-draft display unit 30 also displays the back-draft design.

  In the control related to the reach operation, for example, the following processing is performed. First, the main board operation control program P1 detects an operation signal from the discard buttons 16a, 16b, etc., and determines that the current hand is in the hearing state by the hearing determination process of the hearing pattern determination program P241. When the operation signal of the reach button 18 is detected after the result is obtained, a control command indicating that the reach has been applied is transmitted to the image control board Kc via the sub control board Kb, and a verticality confirmation signal is transmitted. When receiving the control command, the game effect display program P3212 on the image control board Kc performs a process of displaying the design of the design code of the throwing trash that is transmitted immediately after this on the throwing trash display portion 34 in a horizontal direction.

  In addition, when the game field is in a reach state, the game balls launched by the player do not become a kite that completes the rise of the kite (self-suspecting) corresponding to the symbols entered into the entrances 11a, 11b, 11c,. In some cases, if the main board control program P1 automatically treats the player as a thrower, the player does not need to operate the thrower button 16a, etc. after the reach operation.

  Under the control of the winning determination program P8, the score that can be obtained in one game is, for example, up to 10 points, and the upper limit is set. When two or more types of rising combinations are established at the same time, the score obtained by adding the points given to each of the rising combinations is the score of the game. Similarly, if the handbag contains the same dragon pattern as the front and back dramas, a score is also added to that dorado, for example, one score per dora is added. The One score obtained in the game corresponds to one medal. However, if the total number of points acquired in the game exceeds 10, the total number of medals (scores) that can be acquired is 10.

  Here, in step S9, the player recognizes that the hand has been raised and has completed the winning combination, and the rising combination is the chance combination 52 or the big combination 51, so that the special game right can be acquired. The case of a role will be described.

  That is, in the normal game, the winning determination program P7 completes the combination of the winning combination set in advance every time a symbol (self-sucker) corresponding to the entrance 11a, 11b,. Check whether or not Until the end of one game, the same winning combination (rising combination) as the chance combination 52 or big combination 51 (the combination displayed on the chance game rising combination display part 33 or the big game rising combination display part 32). ) Is completed, the right acquisition effect display program P3221 alternately displays the explanation of the rising role and the display of the chance game right establishment or the big game right establishment at a predetermined time interval on the rising eye display unit 31 of the display device 14. Then, the player is informed that the chance game or big game right has been established.

  For example, when the right of the big game is established, the player can operate the attacker 9 in the game between the next and subsequent 13 games including the game (the game when the right is established). In other words, in a game in which the right of the big game is established, after the automatic arrangement, the player is in a state where the attacker operation passage port 10 is positioned immediately above the attacker 9 and is shifted to the right side of the game board surface 2 The game ball launching lever 4 is operated with respect to the attacker 9 and the attacker operating passage 10 arranged in the above, and a game ball is launched along the guide rail 8 from the left side of the game board surface 2. At this time, when the game ball Ba passes through the attacker operating port 10 in which the detection of the entrance of the game ball Ba is enabled due to the formation of the big game, the attacker 9 is released in accordance with the entrance determination by the special game control program P10. . Therefore, the player can select a free self-restraint by an interactive method with the display device 14 corresponding to each one of the game balls Ba entering the attacker 9, and the possibility of completion, preferences, etc. Assemble the rising role according to the.

  At the time of launching the game ball described above, in the sparrow ball game machine 1, the direction aiming at the attacker operating passage 10 in the game board surface 2 and the direction aiming at the attacker 9 are close to each other. When the right of the big game is acquired, the attacker 9 can be aimed at the same time by launching the game ball aiming at the attacker operation passage port 10. That is, the game ball that has passed through the attacker operation passage port 10 can be made to enter the opened attacker 9 in response to the incoming ball, and the number of game balls to be used can be saved.

  On the other hand, for example, when the right of the chance game is established, the player can operate the attacker 9 in the game of the game (game at the time of establishment of the right) as in the case of the big game. That is, for example, out of 14 balls that can be launched in one game, if the chance game combination is established within 9 balls, the attacker operation passage port 10 and the attacker 9 can be aimed at with one ball. Together with this, it becomes possible to make the attacker 9 win a maximum of 5 game balls. In addition, when a chance game combination is established with 10 or more balls, it is possible to make the attacker 9 win the maximum number of remaining balls.

  That is, when the chance game right is established, a maximum of five game balls can be awarded to the attacker 9, and five free self-restraints can be obtained. As a result, it is possible to freely exchange five handbooks, leaving a maximum of nine handcrafts from the combination of 14 handcrafts for which the chance hand 52 is established, but this is associated with the special hand data table P61. From the relationship between the chance combination 52 and the big combination 51 selected in this way (see FIG. 10), the big combination 51 is not established from the state of the rising combination in which the chance combination 52 is established. This makes it possible to prevent the big combination 51 from being easily established. For this reason, the player aims at a high score from the state of the rising combination in which the chance combination 52 is established, for example, by increasing the number of dora or establishing another combination.

  In the sparrow ball gaming machine 1, a chance combination is established, and when the attacker 9 wins one game ball, a process of doubling the score is performed. It is structured so that a player who aims at a rising score by playing a game can aim for a high score.

  Next, in the game end process of step S10, the winning determination program P8 is executed until the game ends, that is, when the number of remaining game balls becomes zero and the game end button 23 is pressed, or the game start button. When the combination of the rising combination shown in Table 2 is not completed when 24 is pressed, a game end control command is transmitted to the image control board Kc via the sub-control board Kb. Then, the game effect display program P3212 on the image control board Kc displays “game over” on the display device 14 and notifies the player of the end of the game.

  Further, in the above game end processing, even when the combination of rising combinations is completed, if the display (remaining ball number) of the remaining game ball number display unit 27 is “1” or more, the self-throwing button 17 or When the discard button 16a, 16b, 16c,... Is operated, a game continuation control command is transmitted to the image control board Kc via the sub control board Kb under the control of the main board operation control program P1. As a result, the game effect display program P3212 on the image control board Kc erases the explanation of the winning combination displayed on the display device 14 and the display of the acquired score so that the game can be continued.

  When the player has operated the game end button 23 or the game start button 24 when the rising combination is completed and the explanation of the rising combination is displayed on the display device 14, the main board operation control program P1 is executed. The type of the input signal is decoded, the medal management program P3 is activated, the score acquired in this game is added to the medal storage number stored in the RAM 42, and this medal storage number is passed through the sub-control board Kb. To the image control board Kc. Then, the game effect display program P3212 of the image control board Kc displays the medal stored number on the medal stored number display unit 26. When the player operates the game start button 24 after operating the game end button 23, the stored medal insertion operation is automatically performed, and the main board operation control program P1 executes the next game. In order to be in a state where it can be performed, a control command for initializing the screen display is transmitted to the image control board Kc via the sub-control board Kb.

  As described above, according to the sparrow ball game machine 1 according to the present invention, the special role selection program P6 is in a state where the chance combination 52 other than the big combination 51 among the plurality of special combinations 50 is established in the hand symbol design. Even if, for example, five (second predetermined number) free selections are made by special games, the chance combination 52 and the big combination 51 are selected so that the big combination 51 is not established. A combination can be prevented from being established.

  The special combination selection program P6 has a special combination data table P61 in which the correspondence between the chance combination 52 and the big combination 51 is recorded in advance, and the chance combination 52 and the big combination 51 are determined based on the special combination data table P61. Since the selection is made, it is not necessary for the special role selection program P6 to perform selection calculations for each game.

  Furthermore, the special combination selection program P6 stops the selection of the chance combination 52 and the big combination 51 for, for example, 13 games after the next game continued by the special game continuation control program P11. In a game in which the special game is continued later, for example, it is possible to prevent the chance combination 52 and the big combination 51 from being re-established by five (second predetermined number) free selection self-restraint.

  Further, since the chance game winning combination display unit 33 and the big game rising combination display unit 32 for displaying the chance combination 52 and the big combination 51 selected by the special combination selection program P6 are provided, the player can select the chance combination 52. And the big role 51 can be aimed at, and it can be recognized that it is difficult to aim at the big role 51 by the special game after the chance role 52 is established.

  The present invention has been described based on the preferred embodiment, but the sparrow ball game machine of the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made from the configuration of the above embodiment. And the sparrow ball game machine which gave the change is also included in the scope of the present invention.
