Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  Conventionally, in a gaming machine such as a pachislot machine, a random number generated by inputting a start bar is generated, and the presence or absence of a winning combination is determined according to the generated random number. When the winning flag is turned on in response to winning, an effect change or notification according to the type of the winning flag is executed. Such an effect change is performed in various forms by an electrical decoration device, a display device, or a sound generation device provided in the casing of the gaming machine.

Such an electrical decoration device, a display device, or a sound generation device includes a control program, video data, and sound for causing each device to perform various forms of expression stored in advance in a storage device such as a memory in the housing. Data is appropriately selected and executed. However, if the player plays for a long time or intermittently for a long time, the player will experience all the effects, and the effect of the effects will be reduced. This is avoided by replacing data such as sound by external input. As the technology, it has been proposed that a game machine receives external output data using a QR code, and replaces or adds data in a storage device (for example, Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, etc.). .

  However, when data is transferred to a gaming machine from the outside using a QR code, there is a problem that the amount of data to be transferred is limited, and the QR code displayed on the outside of the gaming machine camera can be read without error. Therefore, there is a problem that it is troublesome to align the QR code arrangement position within the camera photographing range.

  In addition, pachinko and pachislot machines are legally regulated to provide an interface that can be physically connected to external electronic devices and input data for the purpose of preventing fraud. Therefore, when the player becomes unpopular because of getting bored with the production, there is a problem that the gaming machine is replaced.

  Therefore, the data stored in the storage device without being physically connected to the gaming machine is replaced by sound, the gaming machine receives the sound, and the data in the storage device is replaced based on the audio signal, or It has been proposed to add. However, when data is transmitted by sound, there are many problems such as picking up surrounding noise that is not necessary and insufficient volume, and there is a problem that data cannot be transmitted to a specific gaming machine.

  Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and a gaming machine that performs various effects on a specific gaming machine using voice input and can be enjoyed without feeling bored with the game. The purpose is to provide.

  In order to solve the above problems, symbol display means for displaying a plurality of symbols (for example, reels 3L, 3C, 3R, which will be described later), and the symbol display means starts an internal lottery when the symbol variation starts, so that internal winnings are achieved. A game machine including an internal winning combination determining means (for example, a main CPU 31 described later) for determining a combination, and an effect data storage means (for example, a program described later) for storing a plurality of effect data used for performing effects. ROM 208 or work RAM 210) and effect data determining means for determining one effect information from the plurality of effect data based on each of a plurality of types of trigger signals generated in association with the internal winning combination determining means. (For example, a sub CPU 206 described later) and a predetermined game state (for example, BB game state) or a game result (for example, a bell) stored in advance. A voice input means (for example, a microphone 44 described later) that can receive rewriting effect data from the outside as an audible sound or a non-audible sound, and the audible sound received by the voice input means. A gaming machine comprising voice input analysis means (for example, a sub CPU 206 to be described later) for analyzing the audible sound or the non-audible sound, converting it into the effect data for rewriting, and storing it in the effect data storage means . It is characterized by having.

  With the above configuration, in the case of a predetermined gaming state or game result, the voice input means receives the rewriting effect data as an audible sound or a non-audible sound.

Effect data determination for determining one effect data from the plurality of effect data based on each of a plurality of types of trigger signals generated in association with the program ROM 208 or work RAM 210) and the internal winning combination determining means. Means (for example, sub-CPU 206 to be described later) and voice input means for enabling rewriting effect data to be received from outside with audible sound or non-audible sound For example, the effect data determining means determines when a microphone 44 described later and a predetermined game state (for example, BB game state) or a game result (for example, a small part of a bell) are stored in advance. Voice input rewriting means (for example, a sub CPU 206 to be described later) that rewrites the effect data into the rewriting effect data obtained by analyzing and converting the audible sound or the non-audible sound received by the voice input means. It is characterized by.

  According to the above configuration, the rewriting effect data is always received from the outside, and when the predetermined gaming state is reached, the audible sound or the non-audible sound received by the voice input means is converted into effect data, The converted effect data can be rewritten to predetermined existing effect data. Therefore, because it is possible to replace the production data that is already stored in the gaming machine by external voice input, even if the gaming machine gets bored of the production, by replacing the production data without replacing each gaming machine, It is possible to give preference to the player. In addition, the effects of ambient noise can be reduced by inputting sound using frequencies that are not used for sound produced by audible sounds and sound from amusement halls, and non-audible sounds. The voice input means can be made to receive a specific gaming machine. In addition, since the voice input means is always on, the player cannot understand which effect data is input and stored, so despite the same game state and game result as before the rewriting, By feeling that the production has suddenly changed, it is possible to give a sense of expectation and interest to the game.

  The start switch 6S detects the operation of the start lever 6. The inserted medal sensor 22 </ b> S detects a medal inserted into the medal slot 22. The reel stop signal circuit 56 generates a stop signal in response to the operation of each stop button 7L, 7C, 7R. The determination button 26 and the cancel button 27 can switch the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 5 and input an instruction by these operations. The inserted medal sensor 22 </ b> S detects a medal inserted into the medal slot 22. The reel stop signal circuit 56 generates a stop signal in response to the operation of each stop button 7L, 7C, 7R. The reel position detection circuit 47 receives the pulse signal from the reel rotation sensor and supplies a signal for detecting the position of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R to the main CPU 41. The payout completion signal circuit 61 generates a signal for detecting the completion of medal payout when the count value of the medal detection unit 50S (the number of medals paid out from the hopper 50) reaches the designated number data.

  The reel position detection circuit 60 receives the pulse signal from the reel rotation sensor and transmits a signal for detecting the position of each of the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R to the main CPU 41. The payout completion signal circuit 61 generates a medal payout completion signal when the count value of the medal detection unit 50S (the number of medals paid out from the hopper 50) reaches a designated number. When the main CPU 41 receives this medal payout completion signal, the driving of the hopper 50 is stopped via the hopper drive circuit 51 to complete the payout of medals. The medal detection unit 50S includes a medal sensor including a physical sensor for detecting medals paid out from the hopper 50, and can count the number of medals paid out by the medal sensor.

  In the circuit shown in FIG. 5, the random number generator 146 generates a random number belonging to a certain numerical range, and the sampling circuit 147 samples one random number at an appropriate timing after the start lever 6 is operated. . The internal winning combination is determined based on the random number sampled in this way and the probability lottery table stored in the program ROM 42. After the internal winning combination is determined, random number sampling is performed again to select the “stop control table”.

  After the rotation of the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R is started, the number of drive pulses supplied to each of the stepping motors 59L, 59C, 59R is counted, and the counted value is written in a predetermined area of the control RAM 43. Reset pulses are obtained from the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R every rotation, and these pulses are input to the main CPU 41 via the reel position detection circuit 60. The count value of the drive pulse counted in the control RAM 43 is cleared to “0” by the reset pulse thus obtained. As a result, the control RAM 43 stores the count value corresponding to the rotation position within the range of one rotation for each of the rotation reels 3L, 3C, and 3R.

  A symbol table is stored in the program ROM 42 in order to associate the rotational positions of the rotating reels 3L, 3C, and 3R with the symbols drawn on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel. In this symbol table, with reference to the rotational position at which the reset pulse is generated as described above, the code numbers sequentially given for each fixed rotation pitch of each rotary reel 3L, 3C, 3R, and the corresponding code number A symbol code indicating the symbol provided is associated with the symbol.

  Further, in the program ROM 42, a winning symbol combination table is stored. In this winning symbol combination table, a winning symbol combination, a winning medal dividend number, and a winning determination code representing the winning are associated with each other. The winning symbol combination table is referred to when the left rotating reel 3L, the central rotating reel 3C, and the right rotating reel 3R are controlled to stop and when winning confirmation after all reels are stopped.

  When the internal winning is performed by the lottery process (probability lottery process) based on the random number sampling, the main CPU 41 operates the operation signal sent from the reel stop signal circuit 56 at the timing when the player operates the stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R, Based on the selected “stop control table”, a signal for controlling the stop of the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R is sent to the motor drive circuit 49.

  In the stop mode indicating that the winning combination of the internal winning combination is established, when “payout” is selected by switching the stored medal settlement switch 14, the main CPU 41 supplies a payout command signal to the hopper drive circuit 51. A predetermined number of medals are paid out from the hopper 50. At that time, the medal detection unit 50S counts the number of medals to be paid out from the hopper 50, and a medal payout completion signal is input to the main CPU 41 when the counted value reaches a designated number. As a result, the main CPU 41 stops driving the hopper 50 via the hopper drive circuit 51 and ends the “medal payout process”.

  On the other hand, when “credit” is selected by switching the stored medal settlement switch 14, the number of medals to be paid out is stored in the control RAM 43 as credits.

<Game state>
Next, the gaming state of the pachislot machine 1 will be described. The gaming machine pachislot 1 causes four types of game states to appear: “general game state”, “internal winning state”, “RB game state”, and “BB general game state”. Each of these “four types” of game states basically includes the types of roles that may be won internally, the probability of internally winning replays, the types of bonuses that can be established, and internal winnings. It is distinguished by the relationship with winning a prize.

  In the “general game state”, a game in which an expected value of a so-called “call rate” (a game value given to a player with respect to a unit game value bet on a game) is smaller than “1”. The game state is the most disadvantageous for the player as compared to other game states.

  “Internal winning state” occurs when “BB” or “RB” is won internally and “BB or RB” is not won in “General gaming state”, and basically corresponds to BB or RB over one or more games. This is a gaming state in which the symbol combinations to be performed are allowed to line up along the winning line. When BB and RB are internally won in the “general gaming state”, the internal winning combination is set as a carryover combination and is carried over to the subsequent games. Here, the carry-over of the internal winning combination means that the BB and RB can be won even if the BB and RB are not internally won in the next and subsequent games. Specifically, in the internal winning state, BB and RB are not internally won, but when the internal winning combination is “losing”, BB and RB can be won.

  The “BB general gaming state” occurs when the player wins the BB and wins the BB in the “general gaming state” or the “internal winning state”. The BB winning is established by arranging “red 7-red 7-red 7” or “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” along the active line in the “general gaming state” or the “internal winning state”. The “BB general gaming state” ends when 30 small-games or 3 RBs (regular bonus) are consumed. The “BB general gaming state” may be ended when the payout of a predetermined number of medals is completed.

  The “RB gaming state” has a higher expected value of the payout rate than the “general gaming state”, and is the most advantageous gaming state for the player as compared to other gaming states. The “RB gaming state” is generated when an RB (regular bonus) is won in the “general gaming state”, “internal winning state”, or “BB general gaming state”. The RB winning is established by arranging “red 7-red 7-blue 7” along the active line in “general gaming state”, “internal winning state” or “BB general gaming state”. The establishment of RB winning in the “BB general gaming state” is generally referred to as “JACIN”, and the subsequent game is referred to as “JAC game”. The transition between the game states is performed when a combination of bonus symbols is displayed on the winning line.

<Pattern combination and number of payouts>
Next, with reference to FIG. 7, the relationship between the gaming state, the symbol combination indicating the completion of winning, and the number of medals paid out will be described. FIG. 7 is a table showing the relationship between symbol combinations and the number of payouts. In the general gaming state and the internal winning state, "BB", "RB", "Replay", "Watermelon Minor", "Bell Minor" and "Cherry Minor" are awarded. there is a possibility. “BB” is established by arranging “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” or “red 7-red 7-red 7” along the active line. “RB” is established by arranging “red 7-red 7-blue 7” along the active line. The number of medals to be paid out at this time is “0”. Further, “replay” is established by arranging “Replay-Replay-Replay”. When a re-game winning is established, the same number of medals as the number of inserted medals are automatically inserted, so that the player can play the next game without consuming the medals. In the case of a watermelon small part, a bell small part, and a cherry small part, six, ten, and six medals are paid out, respectively.

  In the BB general gaming state, there is a possibility of winning a prize for RB, replay (riblay), watermelon small part, bell small part, cherry small part. In the BB general gaming state, there is no case where a BB is won. In the RB gaming state, there is a possibility of winning a watermelon small part, a bell small part, or a cherry small part. In the case of a watermelon small part, a bell small part, and a cherry small part, six, ten, and six medals are paid out, respectively. Further, in the RB gaming state, there is no case where “BB”, “RB” and “replay (replay)” are won.

Yes. This sound is transferred from the microphone 44 to the signal processing circuit 260.

  As shown in FIG. 9B, the signal processing circuit 260 extracts only the noise component from the sound when the sound is input in FIG. 9A, and generates a noise frequency spectrum. Next, as shown in FIG. 9C, the signal processing circuit 260 generates a characteristic frequency spectrum whose phase is inverted from the generated noise frequency spectrum. By matching this characteristic frequency spectrum with the original voice input voice, the noise frequency and the characteristic frequency cancel each other, noise is reduced, and a voice signal only of the voice from the portable terminal 500 can be generated.

  FIG. 9D shows an audio signal in which noise can be reduced. The audio signal includes production image data, production audio data, production control program data, and an identification signal. The identification signal indicates that the input voice data is voice data peculiar to the pachislot gaming device 1, and serves as a key for permitting the pachislot gaming device 1 to input. The effect data permitted to be input to the pachislot gaming device 1 by this identification signal is converted into a digital signal by the signal control circuit 260 and stored in each storage area of the work RAM 210 by the sub CPU 206. When the identification signals do not match and the pachislot gaming device 1 is not permitted to input, the sub CPU 206 causes the liquid crystal display device 5 to display an error and notifies the player.

  In the present embodiment, voice input is permitted to the pachislot gaming apparatus 1 by the identification signal, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a signal peculiar to the pachislot gaming device 1 may be provided in each effect data and used as a key for permitting voice input based on this peculiar signal.

  Similarly, the sound data ROM 234 stores various sound data for performing various effects. The sub CPU 206 extracts and reads out the effect sound data determined by the effect table from the audio data ROM 234 and overwrites and saves it in the effect output sound data storage area 298 provided in the effect temporary storage area 295 of the work RAM 210.

  The work RAM 210 has a voice input storage area 290 and an effect temporary storage area 295. In the voice input storage area 290, a voice input image data storage area 291, a voice input voice data storage area 292, and a voice input control program data storage area 293 are provided. Similarly, an effect output image data storage area 296, an effect output audio data storage area 297, and an effect output control program data storage area 298 are provided in the effect temporary storage area 295. The sub CPU 206 divides the rewriting effect data into which the voice is input from the microphone 44, the noise is cut by the signal processing circuit 260, and converted into digital data, image data, audio data, and control program data. The image data for rewriting is stored in the audio input image data storage area 291. Similarly, the voice data for rewriting is stored in the voice input voice data storage area 292. Similarly, the rewrite control program data is stored in the voice input control program data storage area 293. In the embodiment of the present invention, the sub CPU 206 analyzes the audible sound or non-audible sound received by the voice input means (microphone 44) and converts it into effect data for rewriting, and effects data storage means (program ROM 208, image data). The ROM 216, the voice data ROM 234, and the work RAM 210) function as voice input analysis means.

  The effect temporary storage area 295 stores the effect image data, effect sound data, and effect control program determined by the sub CPU 206 having received the command from the main control circuit 81 according to the table based on the command from the program ROM 208 to the work RAM 210.

The voice input storage area 290 stores a plurality of effect data for rewriting. The effect data extracted from the program ROM 208 is overwritten and stored in the effect temporary storage area 295 by the sub CPU 206. When rewriting effect data having the same head data as the head data of the stored effect data is stored in the voice input storage area, the sub CPU 206 reads the rewriting effect data in the voice input storage area 290, and The effect data having the same head data in the effect temporary storage area 295 is overwritten and stored.

  For example, the control program data 400 c is stored in the voice input control program data storage area 291 of the voice storage area 290. The control program data 400c has information that the head data 401 is “2” and the control program signal 402 is “A10”. The sub CPU 206 receives a command from the main control circuit 81, and the control program data 400 a extracted from the program ROM 208 based on the command is stored in the effect output control program data storage area 296 of the effect temporary storage area 295 of the work RAM 210. Overwritten and stored. In the control program data 400a, the head data 401 has information “2” and the control program signal 402 “A1”. Next, the sub CPU 206 reads the head data 401 of the control program data 400 a stored in the effect output control program data storage area 296 and stores the control program data having the same head data 401 in the sound input image storage area 291. Search whether or not. When the sub CPU 206 finds the control program data 400c having the same head data 401 “2”, the sub CPU 206 reads the control program data 400c and overwrites and stores the control program data 400a in the effect output control program data storage area 296. . That is, the control program signal to be executed next is rewritten to “A10”. In the embodiment of the present invention, the sub CPU 206 designates the effect data to be rewritten from the effect data stored in the effect data storage means (the program ROM 208 and the work RAM 210) based on the header data, and creates a new effect. It functions as effect data rewriting means for overwriting and saving data.

  In the present embodiment, the rewriting effect data input to the voice input storage area is stored in the voice input storage area even after rewriting, but is not particularly limited. Once rewritten, the production data can be cleared.

<Main routine of main control circuit 81 of gaming machine>
Next, the control operation of the main control circuit 81 of the pachislot machine 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the main routine according to the embodiment of the present invention. The control operation of the CPU 31 of the main control circuit 81 of the pachislot machine 1 will be described with reference to the main routine shown in FIG. In the following, the pachislot gaming device 1 is activated, the variables used in the main CPU 41 are initialized to predetermined values, and the set values, various timers, etc. are set to predetermined values and operate in a steady state. It shall be.

  First, when the power is turned on, the main CPU 41 determines whether or not there is a request for automatic medal insertion (step S120). The case where there is a request for automatic insertion is a case where a winning of replay (replay) is established in the previous game. When there is a request for automatic insertion of medals (step S120: YES), medals for the insertion request are automatically inserted (step S122), and a medal insertion command is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 82 (step S123).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S120 that there is no request for automatic insertion of medals (step S120: NO), the main CPU 41 determines whether or not medals have been inserted (step S121). That is, the main CPU 41 determines whether or not a detection signal issued by the insertion medal sensor 22S that has detected that a medal has been inserted into the medal insertion slot 22 has been received, or whether the BET switch (1-BET switch 11 or maximum BET switch). It is determined whether or not a medal has been inserted by determining whether or not the detection signal issued by 13) has been received. If it is determined that a detection signal issued by the BET switch (1-BET switch 11 or maximum BET switch 13) has been received (step S120: YES), the main CPU 41 calculates the BET from the credit number stored in the control RAM 43. A process of subtracting the number of credits corresponding to the number of received medals is performed.

  If it is determined in step S121 that no medal has been inserted (step S121: NO), the main CPU 41 returns the process to step S120. If it is determined in step S121 that a medal has been inserted (step 121: YES), or if the process of step S123 is executed, the main CPU 41 determines whether or not the start lever 6 has been operated. (Step S124). That is, the main CPU 41 determines whether or not an input signal from the start switch 6S has been received.

  If it is determined in step S124 that the start lever 6 is not operated (step 124: NO), the main CPU 41 returns the process to step S120. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S124 that the start lever 6 has been operated (step S124: YES), the main CPU 41 performs processing related to various settings (step S125). In these various setting processes, random numbers are sampled from the random number generator 146 at the timing when the start lever 6 is operated, and the random number value is sampled and the lottery probability table set in the control RAM 43 is used. A lottery process for generating a winning combination (winning flag) is performed. In the various setting processes, for example, a win lamp lighting lottery process, a process related to selection of a stop control table for stopping the rotating reel, a process for initializing for reel rotation, and the like are performed, and the rotating reel 3 (3L, 3C, 3R) rotation is started.

  After the rotation of the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R is started, the number of drive pulses transmitted to each of the stepping motors 59L, 59C, 59R is counted, and the counted value is stored in the control RAM 43. A reset pulse is obtained for each rotation from the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R, and these pulses are input to the main CPU 41 via the reel position detection circuit 60. The count value is cleared to “0” in the drive pulse counted in the control RAM 43 by the reset pulse thus obtained. By doing so, the control RAM 43 stores the count value corresponding to the rotational position within one rotation range for each of the rotary reels 3L, 3C, 3R.

Further, in the symbol table stored in the program ROM 42 for associating the rotational positions of the rotating reels 3L, 3C, and 3R with the symbols drawn on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel, the rotational position at which the reset pulse is generated is used as a reference. In addition, a code number that is sequentially given for each fixed rotation pitch of each of the rotating reels 3L, 3C, and 3R is associated with a symbol code that indicates a symbol provided corresponding to each code number. Further, the winning symbol combination table stored in the program ROM 42 is referred to when controlling the rotation of each of the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R and when confirming the winning after stopping all the rotating reels.
After executing the process of step S125, the main CPU 41 shifts the process to step S126.

The internal winning determined by the lottery process is performed. Contains data on roles. The effect start command is supplied to the sub control circuit 82 at a predetermined timing. After executing the process of step S126, the main CPU 41 shifts the process to step S128.

  In step S128, the main CPU 41 determines whether or not the stop button 7 (7L, 7C, 7R) is “ON” based on the presence / absence of an input signal from the reel stop signal circuit 56 (step S128). When determining that the stop button 7 is not “ON” (step S128: NO), the main CPU 41 determines whether or not the value of the automatic stop timer is “0” (step S129). If it is determined that there is not (step S129: YES), the process returns to step S128.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S128 that the stop button 7 is “ON” (step S129: YES), or if it is determined in step S129 that the value of the automatic stop timer is “0” (step S129). :)), the main CPU 41 stops the rotation of the rotating reel 3 corresponding to the stop button 7, but at that time, the winning request (internal winning combination), the symbol position (the rotation of the rotating reel 3 at the time of operation) Position), the number of sliding frames is determined from the selected stop control table or the like (step S130).

  Next, the main CPU 41 performs a process of rotating and stopping the rotating reel 3 by the number of sliding frames determined in step S130 (step S131), and sets a stop request for one rotating reel 3 (step S132). ).

  Next, the main CPU 41 determines whether or not all of the three rotary reels 3 (3L, 3C, 3R) are stopped (step S135). If it is determined that all the rotating reels 3 are not stopped (step S135: NO), the process returns to step S128. On the other hand, when it is determined that all the rotating reels 3 have stopped (step S135: YES), the main CPU 41 conducts a winning search (step S136). At this time, the winning symbol combination table stored in the program ROM 42 is referred to. Further, it is determined whether or not the winning flag is normal. If not, the illegal error may be displayed and the process may be interrupted.

  Next, the main CPU 41 sets an end effect command in the control RAM 43 (step S137). This end effect command is a command for displaying an effect image at the end of the game and outputting a sound according to the game result, and includes data related to the result of the winning search in step S136. The end effect command is supplied to the sub control circuit 82 at a predetermined timing.

  Next, the main CPU 41 determines whether or not medals have been paid out, that is, whether or not there is a winning number (step S138). When it is determined that medals are paid out (step S138: YES), the main CPU 41 stores or pays out medals according to the gaming state and the winning combination (step S139). When storing medals, the main CPU 41 performs a process of adding the number of credits stored in the control RAM 43. On the other hand, when paying out medals, the main CPU 41 sends out a payout command signal to the hopper drive circuit 51 to pay out a predetermined number of medals from the hopper 50. At that time, the medal detection unit 50S counts the number of medals to be paid out from the hopper 50, and a medal payout completion signal is input to the main CPU 41 when the counted value reaches a designated number. As a result, the main CPU 41 stops driving the hopper 50 via the hopper drive circuit 51 and ends the medal payout process.

  Next, the main CPU 41 determines whether or not an RB has been won (step S140). If it is determined that the RB has been won (step S140: YES), the main CPU 41 performs processing related to the RB setting (step S141). In this step S141, the main CPU 41 performs processing related to the setting of the RB lottery probability table and the RB winning symbol combination table.

Furthermore, since voice input is possible by satisfying a predetermined condition, for example, when voice input is performed by a player, there is a need to satisfy the predetermined condition, so that it is possible to concentrate on the game. Even when voice input is performed while satisfying the conditions, it is possible to give a sense of expectation as to what kind of effect the voice input effect will be produced in, and a gaming machine that does not get bored with the game can be provided.

  Further, the effect information determination means randomly extracts and determines the effect data designated based on the header data. Therefore, since the header data has information based on each of a plurality of types of trigger signals generated in relation to the internal lottery determining unit, the header data is based on the header data determined for a predetermined trigger signal. Since the production data can be extracted at random, various productions can be performed for the same predetermined trigger signal, so that the game can be enjoyed without being bored.

  Moreover, it has the effect data rewriting means which rewrites effect data based on header data. Therefore, the effect data including the header data stored by the voice input means includes the same header data, and can be overwritten and stored by replacing the effect data stored in the gaming machine. This makes it possible to replace the production data that is already stored in the gaming machine by voice input from the outside, so even if the gaming machine gets bored of the production, it is possible to replace the production data without replacing each gaming machine. , It can give preference to the player.

  Thereby, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide a gaming machine that can perform various effects on a specific gaming machine using voice input and can entertain the game without feeling bored.

However, the present invention is not limited to this. do not do. When the effect data received from the microphone 44 that can be received as an audible sound or a non-audible sound and converted by the signal processing circuit 260 is stored in the voice input storage area, and a predetermined game state or game result stored in advance is obtained. In addition, it may be configured to rewrite the effect data for effect output. This configuration and processing will be described as another embodiment.

<Configuration of Voice Input Rewriting Processing of Another Embodiment>
Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Only differences from the same configuration and processing as in the above-described embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 16 is an explanatory diagram showing the voice input rewriting process executed in the work RAM of the sub control circuit according to another embodiment of the present invention.

  In FIG. 16 (a), the player can input voice at the timing he / she wants to execute, and the voice input from the microphone 44 is converted into effect data 400 for rewriting by processing in the signal processing circuit 260, Temporarily stored in the voice input storage area in the signal processing circuit 260.

  The sub CPU 206 stores each type of effect data 400 generated by the signal processing circuit in a predetermined storage area of the work RAM 210. For example, the control program data is stored in the voice input control program data storage area 291 provided in the voice input storage area 290 of the work RAM 210. Similarly, in the case of image data, it is stored in the audio input image data storage area 292 provided in the audio input storage area 290 of the work RAM 210. In the case of voice data, the voice data is stored in the voice input voice data storage area 291 provided in the voice input storage area 293 of the work RAM 210. In the embodiment of the present invention, the work RAM 210 functions as temporary storage control means for temporarily storing rewriting effect data obtained by analyzing and converting the audible sound or non-audible sound received from the voice input means (microphone 44).

  In addition, each storage area provided in the voice input storage area 290 has an area that can store a maximum of three pieces of presentation data, and the presentation data is arranged in the order of voice input. For example, as shown in FIG. 16A, the rewrite control program data 400 generated based on the voice input voice is stored in the voice input control program data storage area 291 of the work RAM 210. The voice input control program data storage area 291 can store three control program data. The first storage area 291a for storing the oldest data among the stored control program data, and the next oldest data are stored.

The next old control program data 400b is moved to the first storage area 291a, and the new control program data 400c is moved to the second storage area 291b. Thereafter, the sub CPU 206 stores the latest control program data 400d in the third storage area 291c. As a result, the old control program data 400a can be erased and rewritten to the newest control program data 400d in the order of voice input. In the embodiment of the present invention, when the sub CPU 206 has a predetermined storage state or game result stored in advance and the temporary storage control means (work RAM 210) runs out of storage area, It functions as voice input rewriting means for erasing old effect data in the input order and rewriting it with new effect data.

  When a predetermined game state or game result stored in advance is reached, the sub CPU 206 regenerates the effect data stored in the effect temporary storage area and the effect data for rewriting stored in the voice input storage area. Rewrite the data to produce a production output. At this time, the effect data having the same head data 401 is rewritten, and the sub CPU 206 extracts the head data 401 from the voice input storage area using the head data 401 as a key. In the embodiment of the present invention, the sub CPU 206 receives, as voice input means (microphone), one piece of effect data determined by the effect data determining means (sub CPU 206) when a predetermined game state or game result stored in advance is reached. 44) functions as voice input rewriting means for rewriting the audible sound or the non-audible sound received in 44) into the rewriting effect data converted and analyzed.

  In the present embodiment, the storage area for storing in the order of voice input is provided in the voice input storage area, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the production data 400 may include time information input by voice, and the sub CPU 206 may erase the production data 400 with the oldest voice input and store new production data based on the time information. . Further, the capacity of the effect data that can be stored is limited to a maximum of three effect data for each voice input storage area, but is not particularly limited.

  In the present embodiment, the oldest presentation data 400 is processed based on the time of voice input, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the effect data to be output and the effect data that has been rewritten by voice may be processed so as to be deleted.

  In the present embodiment, the predetermined game state or game result stored in advance is not particularly limited. For example, the voice input storage area may be rewritten under conditions such as a BB gaming state or a combination of symbols established as a small bell combination.

  In the present embodiment, the head data is used to rewrite the production data having the same head data, but the present invention is not particularly limited. For example, the rewriting process may be executed from the oldest presentation data stored in the voice input storage area.

In this processing, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the capacity of the storage area stored for each data type in the voice input storage area 290 of the work RAM 210 is full of already stored effect data. to decide. When it is determined that the capacity of the voice input storage area 290 is sufficient, the process proceeds to step S710. When it is not determined that the capacity of the voice input storage area 290 is sufficient, the process proceeds to step S709.

  In step S <b> 709, the sub CPU 206 executes a process of clearing the oldest effect data in the storage area stored for each data type in the voice input storage area 290 of the work RAM 210. In this process, as described above with reference to FIG. 16, the sub CPU 206 stores the latest effect data from the signal processing circuit 260 to the work RAM 210 for each data type in the voice input storage area 290. The oldest production data in the storage area is deleted, and the production data is arranged in the order of voice input. When this process ends, the process proceeds to step S710.

  In step S710, a process for storing each effect data divided in step S707 in a predetermined storage area of the work RAM 210 is performed. In this processing, the sub CPU 206 stores the control program data divided by the signal processing circuit 260 in the third storage area provided in the voice input control program data storage area 291 of the voice input storage area 290 of the work RAM 210 shown in FIG. It is stored in 291c.

  In step S806, the sub CPU 206 temporarily stores the effect data extracted in steps S803, S804, and S805 in a predetermined storage area of the work RAM 210. As described above with reference to FIG. 10A, the extracted image data is temporarily stored in the effect output image data storage area 296 stored in the effect temporary storage area 295 of the work RAM 210. Similarly, the extracted audio data is temporarily stored in an effect output audio data storage area 297 stored in the effect temporary storage area 295 of the work RAM 210. The extracted control program data is temporarily stored in an effect output control program data storage area 298 stored in the effect temporary storage area 295 of the work RAM 210. When this process ends, the process proceeds to step S807.

  In step S <b> 807, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not a predetermined gaming state or gaming result that triggers execution of a rewriting process by voice input. If it is determined that the game state is a predetermined game state or game result, the process proceeds to step S808. If it is not determined that the game state is a predetermined game state or game result, the process proceeds to step S810.

  In step S808, the sub CPU 206 determines whether there is voice-input effect data having the same head data as the head data included in the effect data stored in step S806. In this process, the sub CPU 206 reads the head data of the effect data temporarily stored in the effect temporary storage area 295 of the work RAM 210, and from among the plurality of effect data stored in the voice input storage area 290 of the work RAM 210, It is determined whether there is presentation data having the same head data.

  As described above, according to the pachislot gaming apparatus 1 according to another embodiment of the present invention, the audible sound received by the voice input means when the rewriting effect data is always received from the outside and the predetermined gaming state is achieved. Alternatively, the non-audible sound can be converted into effect data, and the converted effect data can be rewritten to predetermined existing effect data. Therefore, because it is possible to replace the production data that is already stored in the gaming machine by external voice input, even if the gaming machine gets bored of the production, by replacing the production data without replacing each gaming machine, It is possible to give preference to the player. In addition, the effects of ambient noise can be reduced by inputting sound using frequencies that are not used for sound produced by audible sounds and sound from amusement halls, and non-audible sounds. The voice input means can be made to receive a specific gaming machine. In addition, since the voice input means is always on, the player cannot understand which effect data is input and stored, so despite the same game state and game result as before the rewriting, By feeling that the production has suddenly changed, it is possible to give a sense of expectation and interest to the game.

  Also, the effect data that is always received by the voice input means may be temporarily stored, and when the storage area is insufficient, the old effect data in the input order may be deleted and rewritten with new effect data. it can. Therefore, it is not always necessary to store an enormous amount of information received from voice input, and it is not necessary to provide a large storage area. In addition, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the temporarily stored effect data is rewritten, so that the player is rarely aware of which audio input effect data has been rewritten, and predicts to the player. By performing the performance that is not performed, it is possible to give a sense of expectation and interest in the game.

  In addition, since the production data includes at least one of a control program, production image data, and production sound data, production data input from the outside is not only voice but also control program data related to the production. Or effect image data. Therefore, a completely new effect can be brought about by updating the effect data existing in the game machine, so that it is possible to provide a game machine that does not make the player feel bored.

  Thereby, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide a gaming machine that can perform various effects on a specific gaming machine using voice input and can entertain the game without feeling bored.

  In the present embodiment, the effect data for rewriting is externally input from the microphone 44 by the player's operation, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, an audible sound and a non-audible sound output from a broadcasting speaker in a game store may be input by the microphone 44 without going through the player. Similarly, an audible sound and a non-audible sound output from an adjacent gaming machine or a surrounding gaming machine may be input by the microphone 44 without passing through the player.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the rewriting process is executed after the effect data to be rewritten is temporarily stored as the rewriting timing of the effect data for rewriting input by voice, but the present invention is not limited to this. Similarly, there is no limitation on the timing at which sound input by sound is converted into effect data by the signal processing circuit 260. For example, it may be executed by a predetermined game state, game result, or game operation stored in advance.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a pachislot gaming machine has been described. However, the present invention can also be applied to other gaming machines (for example, pachinko gaming machines, slot machines, etc.).
