Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To relieve player's frustrations from losing a token while reflecting player's skill gap to a game. <P>SOLUTION: When a start lever is pushed down after a token is supplied, a winning combination lottery is carried out and the first to third reels start rotations. When 30 seconds pass after the first to third reels start rotations before all the first to third stop buttons are pushed down, the rotating reels automatically stop. If a reel wins a small combination in the winning combination lottery of a play where the reel automatic stops, the play finishes without the small combination wining a prize and an unfinished small combination appears. The number of the lost tokens is counted by a lost-token-number-counter. Then, the off-random number as many as the counted value of the lost-token-number-counter is rewritten into a prize winning random number in an AT lottery table. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine used in a game hall such as a pachinko parlor.

Slot machines used in pachinko parlors are called pachislot machines. In the pachislot machine, when the start lever is pressed after the medal is inserted, the reels arranged side by side rotate. When each reel is stopped by pressing the stop button, it is determined whether or not the pattern stop mode matches a predetermined stop mode. If both match, the winning combination wins and the process according to the type Is done. Known types of winning combinations include BB that shifts to the BB (Big Bonus) mode, a small role where medals can be obtained, and replay where a game can be played again without inserting medals. And, for example, BB has the right to win until winning a prize, but if the small role is won and the small role does not win, the game ends without paying out medals (Patent Documents 1 to 3). In order to win a small role, it is necessary to stop the reel by pressing the stop button at the right time, so the skilled person is more advantageous in obtaining medals than the beginner. This has stimulated players' willingness to play with pachislot machines.

  However, all medals that are not paid out without winning the small role will be lost to the player, which has been a factor in reducing the player's willingness to play. In addition, beginners who have low skill level increase the number of medals lost compared to skilled workers, which may make the beginner feel unfair. In order to solve this, it is conceivable to arrange the symbols so that the winning symbol of the small role is drawn on the winning effective line without pushing the game, but in this case, the difference in the skill of the player is It cannot be reflected in the content, and the fun of pachislot machines is lost.

  In order to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a slot machine that can resolve a player's dissatisfaction with losing a medal while reflecting a difference in the skill of the player in the game. To do.

  In order to achieve the above object, the slot machine according to claim 1 distributes a reel in which a plurality of types of symbols are arranged on the outer periphery, and a random number sampled in a lottery performed in a game process into a winning random number and a lost random number. A lottery table, and when the reel stops in the game won when the medal is obtained, the medal is not paid out when the stop mode of the symbol does not match the predetermined stop mode. In the slot machine where the game ends, the lost number counting means for counting the number of medals not paid out in the winning game, and the lost random number based on the count value in the lost number counting means And table rewriting means for rewriting to random numbers.

  The slot machine according to claim 2, wherein the lottery table is used in an effect lottery for determining whether or not to execute a game effect, and the random number sampled in the effect lottery is the winning random number. Is the one in which the production is executed.

  The slot machine according to claim 3 is provided with an informing means for informing that the winning is won, and is advantageous to the player over the normal mode and the normal mode, and the reel is stopped when the winning is won. A game is played in a special mode that ends when the stop mode of the symbol coincides with a predetermined stop mode corresponding to the winning, and the reel is automatically stopped in the winning game In this case, the game is finished without the stop mode of the symbol being matched with the predetermined stop mode corresponding to the winning, and the lost number counting means automatically stops the reel in the winning game. This counts the number of medals that have not been paid out.

  According to the invention described in claim 1, other lotteries such as a winning lottery for determining winning or losing based on the number of lost medals and an effect lottery for determining whether to perform an effect are made advantageous. This makes it possible to resolve the player's dissatisfaction with losing medals while reflecting the difference in the skill of the player in the game.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the opportunity for the production to be increased and the opportunity for the player to enjoy the production increase, it is possible to suppress the player's feeling of loss accompanying the loss of medals.

  According to the invention described in claim 3, as the reels automatically stop during the special mode and the game in the special mode increases, the game after that becomes more advantageous, and the player is given an opportunity to acquire a large number of medals. be able to. In addition, the loss of medals caused by increasing the number of games in the special mode can be suppressed by using the loss of medals as a random number per lottery table.

  First, a game flow in the slot machine 11 shown in FIG. 1 will be described. The slot machine 11 performs a winning combination lottery at the start of the game, and one of a plurality of types of winning combinations or lose is determined by the winning combination lottery. The winning combination is a BB that shifts from the normal mode to the BB (Big Bonus) mode when winning, a replay that allows the next game to be performed without inserting medals when winning, and a prescribed number of medals to be paid out as a bonus when winning It consists of multiple types of small roles (winning). The small role is composed of three types of “cherry” in which two medals are paid out, “bell” in which twelve medals are paid out, and “watermelon” in which fifteen medals are paid out. Note that “winning” indicates a state in which a symbol corresponding to the winning combination won in the winning combination lottery is stopped in a predetermined stop mode on a winning effective line to be described later.

  In the slot machine 11, a game is played under any of the normal mode, BB mode, RT (replay time) mode, and AT (assist time) mode. In the BB mode, the winning probability of the small role is higher than that in the normal mode, and as a result, the payout rate (ratio of the number of medals paid out with respect to one medal insertion) is higher. The RT mode shifts after the end of the BB mode, and ends when “watermelon” wins in the game in transition. In RT mode, the winning probability of replay is higher than in normal mode. When the replay is won, it is possible to play more games without inserting medals. Therefore, in the RT mode, the consumption of medals can be suppressed compared to the case where the same number of games are played in the normal mode. As a result, the RT mode is more advantageous to the player than the normal mode. The AT mode shifts when an AT lottery performed every game during the normal mode is won. The AT mode ends when a predetermined number of games have been played. In the AT mode, the order of pressing the stop button that the bell wins is notified every time the bell is won.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the slot machine 11 includes a slot machine main body 12 and a front door 13. The slot machine body 12 includes a storage box 12a. The storage box 12a stores various devices such as a reel and a control board for executing a game. The front door 13 is vertically divided into two parts, and is composed of an upper door 13a and a lower door 13b. The inside of the slot machine body 12 is opened and closed by an upper door 13a and a lower door 13b.

  A display window 14 is provided on the upper door 13a. A first reel 15a, a second reel 15b, and a third reel 15c are provided in the back of the display window 14. A plurality of types of symbols are arranged on the outer peripheral surfaces of the first to third reels 15a to 15c, and three symbols per reel are displayed through the display window 14 when the reels stop. In the slot machine 11, a total of five winning effective lines 16, consisting of three laterally and two diagonally, are set. Prior to the start of the game, when three medals are inserted into the medal insertion slot 17, all five winning valid lines 16 are activated. Thereafter, when the start lever 18 is pressed, the first to third reels 15a to 15c rotate. When the first to third stop buttons 19a to 19c are pressed while the first to third reels 15a to 15c are rotating, the corresponding reels are stopped. When the stop mode of the symbol displayed when the first to third reels 15a to 15c stop matches the predetermined stop mode, the winning combination wins. Note that “cherry” is won if the cherry symbol is stopped on the winning effective line 16 when the first reel 15 a is stopped, and the other winning combination is the same symbol on the same winning effective line 16. If you have three, you will win the winning combination corresponding to the symbols you have. “Bell” wins when the pressing order of the first to third stop buttons 19a to 19c matches the order selected in the pressing order lottery described later. When the small role wins, a prescribed number of medals corresponding to each of the small roles are paid out from the payout opening 20 to the medal tray 21.

  A liquid crystal display (notification means) 22 is provided on the side of the display window 14. From the liquid crystal display 22, when a bell is won in an AT mode game, an assist image (production) showing the order of pressing the stop buttons that the bell wins is displayed before the operation of the first to third stop buttons 19a to 19c is validated. Is displayed. In addition, from the liquid crystal display 22, when the watermelon is won in the RT mode game, a notification image for informing this is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the basic operation of the slot machine 11 is controlled by the main board 60. The main board 60 includes a main CPU 61 and a main memory 62. In the ROM area of the main memory 62, game execution programs and execution data are stored. The main CPU 61 performs a game execution process and a setting change execution process by reading a game execution program and execution data from the main memory 62. The RAM area of the main memory 62 is used for temporary storage or rewriting of a winning flag (a flag indicating the type of winning combination won in the winning combination lottery) and data used for each game.

  The medal sensor 63 detects a medal inserted from the medal insertion slot 17 and inputs a medal detection signal to the main CPU 61. The main CPU 61 counts the number of medal detection signal inputs to identify the number of inserted medals, and writes the identified number in the RAM area of the main memory 62.

  The start signal sensor 64 detects that the start lever 18 has been pressed and inputs a game start signal to the main CPU 61. The main CPU 61 subtracts three medals written in the main memory 62 in response to the game start signal, starts the game process, and operates the winning combination determining unit 65.

  The winning combination determination unit 65 determines any of BB, small combination, replay, or loss by a winning combination lottery using random numbers. When one of the winning combinations is won in the winning combination lottery, a winning flag indicating the type is written in the RAM area of the main memory 62, and when lost, a lost flag is written. The BB flag is cleared when BB wins, and the other flags are cleared when the game ends.

  The winning combination determination unit 65 includes three types of winning combination lottery tables for the normal mode, AT mode, RT mode, and BB mode.

  In any winning combination lottery table, any of the above-described multiple types of winning combinations or loses are assigned to all random numbers generated in the winning combination lottery. In the winning combination lottery, one of a plurality of types of winning combinations or a loss is determined by comparing the extracted random number value with the winning combination lottery table.

  The number of random values to which replay is assigned in the winning combination lottery table for the normal mode and the AT mode and the winning combination lottery table for the RT mode, that is, the winning probability of the replay is different from each other. The number of random numbers assigned to the replay is larger in the role lottery table than in the normal mode. Thereby, the winning probability of replay is higher in the RT mode than in the normal mode, and the RT mode is more advantageous in proceeding with the game than in the normal mode.

  In addition, the number of random numbers to which a small combination is assigned, that is, the probability of winning a small combination is different between the winning combination lottery table for the normal mode and the AT mode and the winning combination lottery table for the BB mode. In the winning combination lottery table for the mode, the number of random numbers to which the small combination is assigned is larger than that for the normal mode and the AT mode. Thereby, in the BB mode, the winning probability of the small role is higher than in the normal mode, and the BB mode is more advantageous in proceeding with the game than in the normal mode.

  When the winning combination lottery is completed, the main CPU 61 drives the stepping motor connected to each of the first to third reels 15a to 15c to start the rotation of the first to third reels 15a to 15c. When the rotation speed of the three reels 15a to 15c reaches a steady speed, the automatic stop timer 66 is activated and the operation of the first to third stop buttons 19a to 19c is validated. In the automatic stop timer 66, “30” seconds are set in advance, and the set time is subtracted as the operation starts.

  The stop signal sensor 67 detects that the first to third stop buttons 19a to 19c are pressed. When the first to third stop buttons 19a to 19c are pressed, stop signals for the first to third reels 15a to 15c are individually input to the main CPU 61. The main CPU 61 responds to the stop signal when the first to third reels 15a to 15c are rotating, and the first to third reels 15a to 15c corresponding to the pressed first to third stop buttons 19a to 19c. The stop control of 15c is performed. The stop control of the first to third reels 15a to 15c is performed by controlling the driving of the stepping motor connected to each of the reels 15a to 15c. Stop control of the first to third reels 15a to 15c is performed by well-known pull-in control using a symbol stop table. In the stop table, when the first to third stop buttons 19a to 19c are pressed, the number of drawn frames required until the first to third reels 15a to 15c are stopped includes five symbols including the symbols on the winning winning line 16. A range of 0 to 4 frames per minute, that is, a range of 5 frames (hereinafter referred to as “retraction range”) is set as an upper limit. When the first to third stop buttons 19a to 19c are pressed and the winning symbol (the symbol corresponding to the winning combination won in the winning combination lottery) is included in the drawing range of 5 frames, The drawing pull-in control is performed and the winning symbol stops on the winning winning line 16.

  If the time of the automatic stop timer 66 becomes “0” before all the reels 15a to 15c are stopped, the main CPU 61 does not wait for the input of the stop signals of the first to third stop buttons 19a to 19c and does not wait for that time. The reels 15a to 15c are automatically stopped. As a result, unless the first to third stop buttons 19a to 19c are pressed, the first to third reels 15a to 15c automatically stop when 30 seconds have passed since the rotation speed has reached the steady speed.

  The main CPU 61 identifies the rotation angle from the reference position of the first to third reels 15a to 15c based on the number of drive pulses supplied to each stepping motor. The ROM area of the main memory 62 stores a symbol table in which the rotation angles of the first to third reels 15a to 15c are associated with the symbol types, and the main CPU 61 refers to the symbol table to thereby store the symbols. Rotation position and stop position can be identified. Then, the main CPU 61 refers to the stop table when the first to third stop buttons 19a to 19c are pressed, identifies the number of symbols to be drawn, and on the winning payline 16 based on the identified number of drawn frames. Identify the type of symbol that stops. The identified symbol is written in the RAM area of the main memory 62, and when all the first to third stop buttons 19a to 19c are pressed, the combination of the stop symbol on the winning effective line 16 and the symbol that the winning combination wins Are compared. Thus, it is determined whether or not the winning combination has won a prize (hereinafter referred to as “winning determination”).

  When the first to third reels 15a to 15c are automatically stopped, the stop table is selected so that no winning combination is won for any winning combination, and the first to third reels 15a are selected. -15c stop control is performed. Therefore, if the first to third reels 15a to 15c are automatically stopped, a so-called miss-out occurs in which the winning combination is not won even though the winning combination is won.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the outer peripheral surfaces of the first to third reels 15a to 15c are partitioned into 21 frames, and one symbol is assigned to each frame. Each frame is assigned a frame number of “1” to “21”, and the first to third reels 15a to 15c rotate in a direction in which the frame number increases. The first to third reels 15a to 15c have five types of BB symbols corresponding to BB, cherry symbols corresponding to cherry, replay symbols corresponding to replay, bell symbols corresponding to bell, and watermelon symbols corresponding to watermelon. The symbols are arranged. BB, Replay, Bell, and Watermelon win when the symbols of each reel are aligned on the same winning effect line 16 (in a state where they are aligned), and Cherry stops the cherry symbol of the first reel 15a on the winning effect line 16 Win a prize.

  The BB symbols are arranged so that the number of frames sandwiched between the BB symbols is 5 or more in each of the first to third reels 15a to 15c. For this reason, in order to win BB, it is necessary to press the first to third stop buttons 19a to 19c at the timing when the BB symbol passes through the pull-in range, and so-called eye pressing is required for each reel.

  The cherry symbols are arranged on the first reel 15a so that the number of frames sandwiched between the cherry symbols is 5 or more. For this reason, in order to win the cherry, it is necessary to push the first reel 15a when stopping it. If you fail to push the cherries, you will not be able to win the cherries even if you win the cherries, and you will miss the cherries. If you miss the cherry, the player loses two medals.

  The bell symbols are arranged in each of the first to third reels 15a to 15c so that the number of frames sandwiched between the bell symbols is 4 frames or less. For this reason, the bell can win a prize without pushing. However, the bell is awarded only when the first to third stop buttons 19a to 19c are pressed in the pressing order selected in the pressing order lottery described later. For this reason, if the first to third stop buttons 19a to 19c are pressed by mistake in the pressing order, the bell cannot be won even if the bell is won, and the bell is lost. If you miss the bell, you lose 12 medals.

  The watermelon symbols are arranged so that the number of frames sandwiched between the watermelon symbols is 5 or more in each of the first to third reels 15a to 15c. For this reason, in order to win a watermelon, each reel needs to be pressed. If you fail to push the watermelon, even if you win the watermelon, you will not be able to win the watermelon and you will lose your watermelon. If the watermelon is missed, the player loses 15 medals.

  The replay symbols are arranged in each of the first to third reels 15a to 15c so that the number of frames sandwiched between the replay symbols is 4 frames or less. For this reason, the replay can be won without having to push each reel, and there is no possibility of missing.

  When the small role wins, the hopper device 68 is driven and medals are paid out. The number of medals to be paid out is set in advance in the payout table stored in the main memory 62. The main CPU 61 refers to the payout table when the small role wins, determines the number of medals to be paid out, and the hopper device 68. Drive.

  The pressing order lottery unit 69 executes a pressing order lottery using random numbers in the game won by the bell, and the pressing order of the first to third stop buttons 19a to 19c to which the bell wins is selected from the six pressing orders. select. When the stop buttons 21a to 21c are pressed in the pressing order determined by the pressing order lottery, the main CPU 61 performs the pull-in control of the bell symbol so that the bell wins, and the first to first in the other pressing orders. When the three stop buttons 19a to 19c are pressed, stop control of the first to third reels 15a to 15c is performed so that the bell does not win. The assist image is not displayed in the normal mode, but the assist image is displayed in the AT mode. Therefore, in order to win the bell, in the normal mode, the order of pressing the stop buttons must be determined by intuition, but in the AT mode, if the stop buttons are pressed according to the pressing order displayed in the assist image, Since the bell can be won, the AT mode is more advantageous in obtaining medals than the normal mode.

  The lost number counter 70 counts the number of lost items when the first to third reels 15a to 15c are automatically stopped and a small combination is lost.

  A sub board 71 is electrically connected to the main board 60. The sub board 71 includes a sub CPU 72 and a sub memory 73. The sub CPU 72 operates in response to a command from the main CPU 61 and controls the operation of the entire sub board 71.

  The sub CPU 72 includes an AT lottery unit 74. The AT lottery unit 74 performs an AT lottery using an electronic random number in response to pressing of the start lever 18 for each game in the normal mode. The AT lottery is performed using an AT lottery table (lottery table) 74a. In the AT lottery table 74a, random numbers sampled in the AT lottery are divided into winning random numbers and lost random numbers, and it is determined whether to shift to the AT mode depending on which random number the sampled random numbers are. The When the sampled random number becomes a winning random number and the AT lottery is won, the game shifts to the AT mode from the next game. In the AT mode, the sub CPU 72 receives the result of the pressing order lottery, reads image data corresponding to the result from the sub memory 73, and displays an assist image from the liquid crystal display 22 via the liquid crystal driver 22a.

  Further, when the watermelon is won in the RT mode game, the sub CPU 72 reads out the image data of the notification image indicating that the watermelon has been won from the sub memory 73, and displays the notification image from the liquid crystal display 22 via the liquid crystal driver 22a. . Since the RT mode ends when the watermelon wins, if the player intentionally drops the watermelon when the notification image is displayed, the player can continue to play the RT mode game.

  The sub CPU 72 receives the count value of the lost number counter 70 when the game in which the small combination has been missed is completed. In response to this, the table rewriting unit (table rewriting means) 75 rewrites the AT lottery table 74a, and rewrites the same random number as the lost number counter 70 with the winning random number. For this reason, the probability of winning the AT lottery increases as the number of lost medals increases.

  As shown in FIG. 4, specifically, the random number values sampled in the AT lottery are 65536 from “0” to “65535”, and the winning random number in the AT lottery is “0” to “270”. Other than that, it is assigned to random numbers. For example, when a watermelon is missed, the number of watermelon medals to be paid out is 15, so that 15 lost random numbers with 15 lost medals are rewritten as winning random numbers. As a result, the winning random numbers of the AT lottery are “0” to “285”, and the winning probability of the AT lottery is higher after the watermelon is dropped than before the dropping of the watermelon. Such a process is performed when each small combination is missed.

  The count value of the lost number counter (lost number count means) 70 is cleared when the count value is input to the sub-board 71. Further, the numbers of winning random numbers and lost random numbers in the AT lottery table 74a are rewritten to initial values set in advance when winning the AT lottery.

  Next, the flow of rewriting processing of the AT lottery table 74a will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 5, when the start lever 18 is pressed after the medal is inserted, the winning combination lottery is performed and the first to third reels 15a to 15c start to rotate. When the rotation speed of the first to third reels 15a to 15c reaches a steady speed, the operation of the first to third stop buttons 19a to 19c is validated. Before pressing all of the first to third stop buttons 19a to 19c, when the rotational speed of the first to third reels 15a to 15c reaches a steady speed, 30 seconds have passed and the rotating reel is automatically stopped. To do. If the winning combination lottery of the game in which the reels are automatically stopped is won as a small role, the game ends without winning the small portion and the small portion is lost. At this time, the number of lost medals is counted by a lost number counter 70. In the AT lottery table 74a, the same number of lost random numbers as the count value of the lost number counter 70 is rewritten to the winning random number. On the other hand, the count value of the lost number counter 70 is cleared.

  When the above processing is performed in the RT mode, the RT mode is based on the condition that the watermelon has won. Therefore, in the game where the watermelon is won, the first to third reels 15a to 15c are automatically stopped and the watermelon is stopped. If a prize is not won, a game in RT mode can be performed for a longer period of time. And every time a watermelon is missed, the winning probability of the AT lottery increases, so that the player has an opportunity to win a large number of medals. For this reason, when the present invention is applied to the RT mode, it is more effective in enhancing the interest of the game. In the past, it was possible to perform the RT mode for a long time by dropping the watermelon, but the medal loss occurred over a long period of time, giving the player a sense of loss. . However, according to the present invention, since the winning probability of AT lottery increases instead of missing, an opportunity to acquire a large number of medals can be obtained, and an expectation more than a loss can be generated.

  In the above-described embodiment, when the first to third reels 15a to 15c are automatically stopped and a small part is missed, the number of lost pieces is counted. However, the first to third stop buttons 19a to 19c are pressed and the first reels 15a to 15c are counted. Even when the first to third reels 15a to 15c are stopped and a small combination is missed, the number of lost sheets may be counted.

  In the above embodiment, the lost random number of the AT lottery table 74a used for the AT lottery is rewritten to the winning random number. However, the effect image is displayed to rewrite the lost random number of the lottery table used for the winning combination lottery to the winning random number won by the winning combination. An appropriate lottery table may be rewritten, for example, by rewriting the random number in the lottery table used for the lottery to determine whether or not to win the random number. When the lottery table used in the winning lottery is rewritten, the payout rate will change, so the number of medals will change easily, and the player will have a sense of expectation for acquiring a large number of medals. be able to.

  In the above embodiment, the same number of lost random numbers as the number of lost medals is rewritten as a winning random number, but a predetermined number of lost random numbers may be rewritten as a winning random number according to the number of lost medals. In this case, for example, when the number of lost sheets is 10 or less, 10 lost random numbers are rewritten, and when the number of lost sheets is 11 or more, 20 lost random numbers are rewritten, or the number of lost sheets is 10 per sheet. For example, by rewriting a lost random number, a table that associates the number of lost numbers with the number of lost random numbers to be rewritten is prepared in advance, and this can be realized by referring to this when a small role is missed.

  In the above embodiment, the present invention is applied to a slot machine that drives a reel. However, for example, a slot machine that rotates a reel displayed on a liquid crystal display (displays a variable display of symbols on the liquid crystal display), a game ball The present invention may be applied to other gaming machines such as a slot machine used as a medium.
