Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine, and more particularly to a gaming machine in which a manufacturer can analyze a test result by an inspection engine.

In a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine or a slot machine, it is known that a lottery is obtained by acquiring a random number, and when a lottery is won, for example, a special gaming state (such as a big hit) advantageous to the player is generated. Yes. In such a special game state, a privilege is given to the player (see, for example, Patent Document 1 below).
By the way, before a gaming machine is shipped to the market, it is common for an inspection organization to inspect whether or not the gaming machine has specifications that may be shipped to the market. For example, the inspection organization inspects whether or not it is a gaming machine that actually plays a game and excessively engulfes the player. If it is determined that the gaming machine is a player that excites the player's gambling spirit, it will not be allowed to ship the gaming machine to the market, so that a gaming machine that will despise the player's gambling will be on the market. The case will be suppressed.

JP 2010-111985 A

  However, if the inspection is conducted by an inspection organization and does not pass the inspection, the manufacturer of the gaming machine must know in detail the reason why the inspection did not pass because of the inspection result. I could not. For example, even if the inspection agency notifies the manufacturer of which inspection has failed, such as when the number of game media paid out per unit time exceeds the specified amount, The manufacturer cannot grasp whether or not the game was rejected due to the game result. Accordingly, it is desired to develop a gaming machine that can analyze the inspection result of the inspection organization.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine in which a manufacturer can satisfactorily analyze an inspection result by an inspection organization.

Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the gaming machine of the present invention generates a random number within a predetermined range, and a random number counter set so that the generated random number is updated every predetermined period, and a predetermined number A random number acquisition unit that acquires a value of a random number counter and a game result determination unit that determines a game result according to the value of the random number counter acquired by the random number acquisition unit when an acquisition condition is satisfied; The value of is set so that it is divided into predetermined ranges and assigned to the division information associated with each division, and when the value of the random number counter is acquired by the random number acquisition means, the acquisition is performed. It is characterized in that it comprises a counting means for identifying classification information corresponding to the value of the random number counter and counting the number of times of acquisition of the value of the random number counter in the identified classification information.

  According to the gaming machine of the present invention, by referring to the number of times of acquisition of the value of the random number counter in each piece of classification information, it is possible to specify a range (classification) and a low range where the frequency of the obtained random number is high. Thereby, the tendency of the acquired random number can be analyzed. In addition, after the inspection is completed, when the gaming machine to be inspected enters the market, it can be confirmed that a biased random number has been acquired. Thereby, it can be discovered at an early stage, for example, that an illegal act by a sensory device has been performed. Further, by referring to the history of the number of times of acquisition of the value of the random number counter in each category information, it is possible to specify how much the game has been played on the gaming machine. Thereby, it can become a standard at the time of recycling the components currently used for the gaming machine.

  In addition, the value of the random number counter includes those in which the game result determined by the game result determining means is an advantageous result advantageous to the player, and the range not including the value of the random number counter corresponding to the advantageous result It can be configured such that a plurality of pieces of division information are allocated.

  According to this, a plurality of pieces of division information are allocated even in a range where the division information of the random number counter value does not include the random number counter value corresponding to the advantageous result. For this reason, the range where the frequency of the obtained random numbers is high and the low range can be specified not only for the range where the advantageous result is obtained but also for the range where the advantageous result is not obtained. By this, in the unlikely event that the inspection fails, the random number belonging to the high frequency range acquired in the range where the advantageous result is not obtained is changed again so that it belongs to the range where the advantageous result is obtained. When an inspection is performed, it can be made easy to pass.

  Furthermore, the acquisition timing specifying means for specifying the acquisition timing at which the value of the random number counter is acquired by the random number acquisition means is provided, and the number of acquisitions of the value of the random number counter counted by the counting means is acquired by the acquisition timing specifying means. Based on the timing, it is possible to distinguish between a state in which the value of the random number counter is acquired or acquired at a predetermined acquisition cycle and a state in which the value of the random number counter is not acquired in the acquisition cycle It can also be configured as described.

  It is assumed that the inspection includes an inspection in which a game is actually performed (actual fire) and an inspection in which the game progresses (simulation) while the value of the random number counter is reliably acquired in a predetermined cycle. By making it possible to distinguish whether the value of the random number counter is acquired or not acquired in the acquisition cycle, it is possible to identify the frequency of random number acquisition by distinguishing both inspections, and details according to the actual situation of the inspection It is possible to perform a simple analysis.

  Note that the gaming machine of the present invention has a game specifying means for specifying that a game is being played by the player, and a time elapsed under a situation where it is specified that the game is being executed by the game specifying means, Or, after the information specifying means for specifying the game information related to the number of times the unit game has been performed, which is an opportunity to generate a special gaming state advantageous to the player, and after the game specifying means is no longer specified that the game is being performed, The first test with the end condition being that a game is played over a predetermined special period or a predetermined number of unit games are performed, and more specific than the end condition of the first test It is good also as a structure provided with the execution specific | specification means which specifies which test | inspection is performed among the 2nd test | inspections by which the period is set long or the said frequency | count is set many.

  According to this, based on the specification of the elapsed time under the situation where the game is being performed or the specification of the number of times that the unit game has been performed, the performed examination is specified. As a result, it is possible to easily and accurately specify which of the first inspection and the second inspection has been performed.

  In this case, the execution specifying unit determines that the second check is executed when the game information specified by the information specifying unit satisfies both end conditions of the first check and the second check. be able to. The execution specifying means has already specified the execution of the second inspection when the game information specified by the information specifying means satisfies both the end conditions of the first inspection and the second inspection. It can be determined that the first inspection has been executed on the condition that the first inspection is performed. According to this, it can be specified almost certainly which inspection was performed among the 1st inspection and the 2nd inspection.

  In addition, the execution specifying means may determine whether the game information specified by the information specifying means is in either of the first check and the second check in a situation where it is no longer specified that the game is being played by the game specifying means. If it is not satisfied, if it is subsequently determined that the game is being played again by the game specifying means, it can be considered that the previous inspection has been continued. According to this, even if the inspection is interrupted in a situation where one inspection is being performed, the end of the inspection after being resumed can be well identified.

  Furthermore, the gaming machine of the present invention generates a random number within a predetermined range, and when the generated random number is set to be updated at regular intervals and a predetermined acquisition condition is satisfied The game result is determined by the random number acquisition means for acquiring the value of the random number counter, the game result determination means for determining the game result according to the value of the random number counter acquired by the random number acquisition means, and the game result determination means. In such a case, a predetermined unit action is started, a notification corresponding to the determined game result is executed, and the end of the unit action is executed as one unit game. A notification means for executing notification corresponding to the game result determined by the result determination means; and a game control means for controlling the notification means so as to execute the unit game. Position is set to be associated with game playing time of, may be configured to include a random number history storage means for storing a history of the values of the acquired random number counter by the random number acquisition means.

  According to this, it is possible to specify the accumulated execution time of the unit game from the history of the values of the acquired random number counter. As a result, the time during which the gaming machine has been operating can be specified, and this specified time should be used as a guideline for whether the parts of the gaming machine are reusable or when it is time to replace the parts. Can do.

  In this case, when a predetermined time elapses without the unit game being executed by the game control means, the notification means or the second notification means different from the notification means is executed so as to execute the predetermined standby effect. It can be set as the structure provided with the stand-by game control means to control, and the stand-by effect count means which counts the frequency | count that the stand-by effect was performed.

  Count the number of times that the standby effect has been executed, for example, by multiplying the operation time specified from the history of the value of the random number counter by the number of times of execution of the standby effect multiplied by the average time required to execute one standby effect. By adding the stand-by production time, the time during which the gaming machine has been turned on can be accurately identified.

  The random number storage means stores the value of the random number counter acquired by the random number acquisition means up to a predetermined number that is a predetermined number, and the game result determination means includes a plurality of random numbers stored in the random number storage means. When the counter values are stored, the game results corresponding to the values of the random number counters are sequentially determined, the random number storage means does not store the random number counter values, and the game A special count means for counting the number of times that the unit game has not been executed by the control means may be provided.

  By specifying the number of times that the unit game is no longer executed and taking into account the time required for this number of times, it is possible to improve the accuracy of specifying the time that the gaming machine has been turned on. In particular, it will be possible to specify the number of times the unit action of the unit game is started again before the time until the unit game is not executed and the standby effect is executed, and this time is taken into account. Thus, it is possible to improve the accuracy of specifying the time during which the gaming machine has been turned on better.

A general map display unit 25 and a general map hold display unit 26 composed of a plurality of (for example, two) LEDs are arranged one above the other.

  Next, a control block diagram of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. A main circuit 100 is mounted on the main control board of the pachinko gaming machine 1, and a sub control circuit 111, a payout control circuit 112 and a launch control circuit 113 are connected thereto.

  The main circuit 100 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 101 that is an arithmetic device, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 102 that is a read-only storage device in which various programs and determination tables, an effect lottery table, and the like are stored, a work area, and various memories.

The RAM 103, random number generator 105, and random number history storage area 106 will be described later. Each of the other circuits also includes a CPU and a memory, which are omitted in FIG. Each circuit is supplied with power of a predetermined voltage generated by the power supply circuit 114 via the main circuit 100.

  The sub control circuit 111 causes the amplifier / speaker 121 (see FIG. 1) to output sound in accordance with a command input from the main circuit 100 and controls the lighting / extinguishing of the decorative lamps 122. The sub control circuit 111 outputs a command to the display control circuit 115. The display control circuit 115 controls the liquid crystal display device 12 in accordance with the command input from the sub-control circuit 111, and executes the symbol variation display and the stop display.

  The payout control circuit 112 controls the payout device 123 according to the prize ball payout signal input from the main circuit 100. Thereby, a predetermined number of balls (prize balls) are paid out to the upper plate 5 to the player. The firing control circuit 113 operates the launching device 124 provided corresponding to the handle device 4 in response to the player operating the handle device 4, and the balls prepared on the upper plate 5 are placed in the game area 3a. Fire towards. Depending on the amount of operation of the handle device 4, it is possible to adjust the ball launch strength (ball flight distance).

  The main circuit 100 includes ball detection from a start winning detector 132 attached to the start opening 22, a large winning detector 133 attached to the big winning opening 23, and a gate passage detector 134 attached to the passing gate 24. Each signal is input.

  The main circuit 100 includes an electric chew solenoid 142 that opens and closes the rotating blade piece 22a of the start port 22, a large winning solenoid 143 that opens and closes the large winning port 23, an LED of the general display display unit 25, and a general display hold display unit 26. Each LED is driven and controlled.

  FIG. 3 schematically shows a part of the contents of the random number generator 105 and one area of the contents of the RAM 103. The random number generator 105 includes various random number counters such as a jackpot random number counter C1, a jackpot type random number counter C2, and a variable time random number counter C3. The jackpot random number counter C1 is a loop counter whose value fluctuates within a range of, for example, “0 to 599”. The jackpot type random number counter C2 is a loop counter whose value fluctuates within a range of “0 to 9”, for example. The fluctuation time random number counter C3 is a loop counter whose value fluctuates within a range of “0 to 299”, for example. The value of each loop counter is updated (added 1) every predetermined time (for example, 2 msec).

  The RAM 103 includes a random number storage area 103a (random number storage means) for storing each value (hereinafter also referred to as random number information) of the random number counters C1 to C3. The random number storage area 103a includes a first random number storage area 103a1, a second random number storage area 103a2, a third random number storage area 103a3, a fourth random number storage area 103a4, and each random number counter C1 stored in the first random number storage area 103a1. And an execution area 103a5 that functions as an area for reading and temporarily storing values of .about.C3.

  When a winning at the start port 22 is detected, the values of the random number counters C1 to C3 are extracted at the detection timing. The extracted random number information is stored in the random number storage area with the smallest number among the random number storage areas 103a1 to 103a4 in which the random number information is not yet stored. When the random number information is already stored in the fourth random number storage area 103a4 having the largest number (a state in which random number information is stored in all the random number storage areas 103a1 to 103a4), the extracted new random number information is It is left as it is without being stored in the random number storage area 103a. Note that no new random number information is stored even if a game ball is won at the start port 22 in a situation where random number information is already stored in the fourth random number storage area 103a4. For this reason, new random number information may not be extracted when a game ball is won at the start port 22 in a situation where random number information is already stored in the fourth random number storage area 103a4.

  When the symbol variation is started in the liquid crystal display device 12, it is determined whether or not random number information is stored in the first random number storage area 103a1. If random number information is stored in the first random number storage area 103a1, the random number information is shifted to the execution area 103a5. Further, the random number information respectively stored in the random number storage areas 103a2 to 103a4 is shifted to the random number storage areas 103a1 to 103a3 each having a smaller number. That is, the random numbers from the second random number storage area 103a2 to the first random number storage area 103a1, from the third random number storage area 103a3 to the second random number storage area 103a2, and from the fourth random number storage area 103a4 to the third random number storage area 103a3, respectively. The information is shifted, and the fourth random number storage area 103a4 that has become empty is initialized. The random number information shifted to the execution area 103a5 is read and stored in the random number history storage area 106 (random number history storage means).

  FIG. 4 schematically shows the contents of the random number history storage area 106. The random number history storage area 106 is provided in a memory different from the RAM 103, and is stored in the random number history storage area 106a for storing the random number information shifted to the execution area 103a5 as a history, and the random number history storage area 106a. When the random number information is specified as the history for the real shot, the real storage area 106b to which the random number information stored in the random number history storage area 106a is shifted, and the random number information stored in the random number history storage area 106a are A storage area for simulation 106c to which random number information stored in the random number history storage area 106a is shifted when specified as a history for simulation is configured. Note that the random number history storage area 106 may be provided in the RAM 103.

  The real storage area 106b is subdivided for each type of the real test, such as a 10-hour test storage area 106b1, a 500-time test storage area 106b2, and a 300-time test storage area 106b3. Yes. Similarly, the simulation storage area 106c is subdivided for each type of simulation test, such as an 8-hour test storage area 106c1, a 600-time test storage area 106c2, and a 400-time test storage area 106c3. .

  FIG. 5 schematically shows the history of random number information stored in the random number history storage area 106 (the random number history storage area 106a, the real-time storage area 106b, or the simulation storage area 106c). FIG. 6 shows various tables stored in the ROM 102, that is, the jackpot winning table 102a, the type determining table 102b, and the variation time determining table 102c.

  The jackpot winning table 102a is a table in which the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 and the classification information are stored in association with each other. As shown in the left column of FIG. 6A, the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 “0 to 599” is stored. "Is divided into predetermined ranges (in FIG. 6 (a), for example, 62 cases are illustrated), and as shown in the right column of FIG. 6 (a), corresponding to each division Division information “0 to 61” is allocated. In the example shown in FIG. 6A, the division information “2”, “58” corresponds to the big win in the normal state, and the division information “2”, “3”, “58”, “59” is high. Corresponding to the jackpot winning in the probability state (probability variation state), other classification information is set to correspond to the loss.

  The type determination table 102b stores the value of the jackpot type random number counter C2 and the classification information in association with each other. As shown in the left column of FIG. 6B, the value “0 to 0” of the jackpot type random number counter C2 is stored. 9 ”is divided into predetermined ranges (in FIG. 6B, for example, the case of being divided into two sections is illustrated), and as shown in the right column of FIG. Section information “0” and “1” are allocated. In the example shown in FIG. 6B, the category information “0” is set to correspond to the probability variation big win and the category information “1” is set to correspond to the normal big win.

  The variation time determination table 102c stores the value of the variation time random number counter C3 and the symbol variation display time in association with each other. As shown in the left column of FIG. The value “0 to 299” is divided for each predetermined range (in FIG. 6C, for example, a case where the value is divided into 300 sections is illustrated). As shown in the right column of FIG. The variable display time (the same time may be set) is allocated corresponding to the category. FIG. 6C representatively illustrates a variation time determination table corresponding to the loss in the normal state. Besides this variation time determination table, the variation time determination corresponding to the loss in the high probability state is also illustrated. A table and a variable time determination table corresponding to the jackpot winning are prepared. The “symbol variation display” corresponds to a unit action in a unit game, and the “variation display time” corresponds to a game time of one unit game.

  When the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 is read from the execution area 103a5, the random number history storage area 106a is associated with the category information (see FIG. 6A) of the jackpot winning table 102a as shown in FIG. The number of acquisitions of the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 in the section information of the jackpot random number counter C1 is counted up by the CPU 101 (counting means). In the example shown in FIG. 5A, it can be seen that the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 belonging to the category information “1” to “3” is acquired with high frequency.

  On the other hand, when the value of the variable time random number counter C3 is read from the execution area 103a5, as shown in FIG. 5B, the value of the variable time random number counter C3 is stored in the acquisition order in the random number history storage area 106a. At this time, if the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 belongs to the category information corresponding to the jackpot winning, the value of the jackpot type random number counter C2 is read from the execution area 103a5, and the category determination table 102b category information (FIG. 6 ( The segment information of the jackpot type random number counter C2 associated with b) is stored in association with the value of the variable time random number counter C3 acquired at the same timing. In the example shown in FIG. 5B, the location storing the category information “0”, “1” indicates the position corresponding to the big win, and the game state is normally determined from the category information of the type random number counter C2. It is possible to know whether it is a state or a probable change state.

Specifically, in the case of the example shown in FIG. 5B, the symbol variation with the value of the variation time random number counter C3 “51” corresponds to the probability variation big hit, and the value of the variation time random number counter C3 with “268”. It can be seen that the pattern variation usually corresponds to a jackpot. Also, the symbol variation of the variable time random number counter C3 from “2” to “100” and “299” to “400” is made in a normal state, and the value of the variable time random number counter C3 is from “70” to “231”. It can be seen that the pattern variation was made in a high probability state. That is, the following can be understood by referring to FIG.
-The number of winning jackpots can be found from the number stored in the category information of the jackpot type random number counter C2.
The game state history is known from the combination of the category information of the jackpot type random number counter C2 and the value of the variable time random number counter C3.
The total of the time when the symbol variation was performed can be found from the history of the value of the variation time random number counter C3 and the history of the combination of the values of the jackpot type random number counter C2 and the variation time random number counter C3.

  In addition to the random number storage area 103a described above, the RAM 103 detects flag areas for determining various game states, a random number counter for ordinary use similar to the jackpot random number counter C1, and winnings to the passing gate 24. Various storage areas such as a random number storage area (a general-purpose storage area) for storing the value of the random number counter for general-purpose data extracted at the specified timing as general-purpose storage are provided.

  Next, the flow of the game of the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7 (game state transition diagram) with basic operations. When the ball passes through the passage gate 24 in the normal state or in the time-short state, the CPU 101 of the main circuit 100 detects that the ball has been stored in the random number storage area for RAM in the RAM 103 in response to detection of the ball by the gate passage detector 134. If the number is 1 or less, the current value is extracted from the random number counter for ordinary maps, and the lottery process for ordinary drawings is executed. To remember. When it is possible to start a new map change (when the map is not changing and the rotating blade piece 22a is not in operation), if the map hold is stored in the map random number storage area, Read the old map hold and make a hit decision. If it is in the normal state, it is compared with the winning value of the normal-use ordinary figure determination table (normal figure winning probability: 1/30). . Based on the result of the hit determination, the usual figure change (LED blinking of the usual figure display unit 25) is started.

  When the judgment result of the ordinary figure is correct, the LED of the ordinary figure display unit 25 is turned on when the fluctuation time (30 seconds in the normal state, 1 second in the short time state) has elapsed, and the electric chew solenoid 142 is excited. The rotating blade piece 22a is opened. After a predetermined time (0.2 seconds in the normal state and 1.5 seconds in the short time state three times), the rotating blade piece 22a is closed. In addition, when the usual figure determination result is lost, the LED of the common figure display unit 25 is turned off when the fluctuation time has elapsed.

  A ball wins the start opening 22 and the CPU 101 (payout means) instructs the payout control circuit 112 to pay out balls (for example, 3 balls) in response to the detection of the ball by the start win detector 132. At this time, the CPU 101 (random number acquisition means) extracts the values of the random number counters C <b> 1 to C <b> 3 from the random number generator 105 at the ball detection timing by the start winning detector 132.

  The CPU 101 (random number acquisition means) extracts the random number information extracted from the random number counters C1 to C3 if the number of storage areas in the random number storage areas 103a1 to 103a4 of the RAM 103 is 3 or less. Are stored in the random number storage area with the smallest number among the random number storage areas 103a1 to 103a4 for which random number information is not yet stored. The action of extracting the values of the random number counters C1 to C3 by the CPU 101 (random number acquisition means) and storing them in the random number storage area 103a corresponds to the action of acquiring the value of the random number counter of the present invention.

  When the CPU 101 (reading means) can start a change of a new special figure (when the special figure is not changing and not being a big hit), if random number information is stored in the first random number storage area 103a1, Random number information is shifted to the execution area 103a5. Further, the random number information stored in the random number storage areas 103a2 to 103a4 is shifted to the random number storage areas 103a1 to 103a3 each having a smaller number, respectively.

  The CPU 101 (game result determining means) compares the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 read from the execution area 103a5 with the winning value set in the jackpot winning table of FIG. 6A. A determination process is performed. Specifically, in the normal state or the short-time state, whether or not the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 coincides with any one of “20” and “570” (special figure winning probability: 1/300). If the probability change state is determined, the jackpot random number counter C1 has a value of any one of “20” to “29” and “570” to “579” (special figure winning probability: 1 / 30) is determined whether or not it matches. The success / failure determination processing by the CPU 101 (game result determining means) corresponds to the act of determining the game result of the present invention.

  The CPU 101 (game control means) determines the variable display time with reference to the variable time determination table of FIG. 6C based on the value of the variable time random number counter C3 read from the execution area 103a5. The sub-control circuit 111 (game control means), based on the determination result and the change display time received from the CPU 101 (game control means), the change pattern in the liquid crystal display device 12, the effect design at the time of stopping (for example, each 3 digits) whose digits are represented by “1” to “9” are determined. Then, the display (unit operation) corresponding to the determined variation pattern is started, and the symbol variation (one unit game) until the determined effect symbol is stopped and displayed (stopped in order of left, right, and middle). The liquid crystal display device 12 (notification means) is controlled to execute.

  When the game result determined by the CPU 101 (game result determining means) is a jackpot (special game state) which is an advantageous result advantageous to the player, the CPU 101 (special game state generating means) sets the value of the jackpot type random number counter C2. Accordingly, either the 15R probability variation as the probability variation jackpot or the 15R regular variation as the normal jackpot is assigned (the jackpot type allocation rate is 15R probability variation 50%, 15R normal variation 50%).

  When the game result is a big hit, the CPU 101 (special game state generating means) excites the big prize opening solenoid 143 to open the big prize opening 23 and, for example, performs a plurality of round processes that are closed when 10 pieces are won or 30 seconds elapse. Repeat (for example, 15 times). When one prize is won in the big prize opening 23, prize balls (for example, 15) are paid out, so that the player can win a large number of balls by winning a jackpot.

  When the CPU 101 (specific game state generating means) wins the 15R probability change, the CPU 101 executes the transition control so as to shift to the probability change state in which the jackpot winning probability becomes high after the end of the jackpot state. In the probable state, the short-time state continues until the next jackpot is won. On the other hand, when the 15R normal is won, the shift control is executed so as to shift to the short time state where the probability change state is not achieved. In this case, the time-saving state continues until the number of symbol variations reaches a predetermined number (for example, 100 times). In this short state, the probability of satisfying the release condition of the electric chew, that is, the probability of winning the ordinary figure increases, and the opening time of the electric chew becomes longer at the time of winning the ordinary figure, so the player does not reduce the holding ball so much The game can be continued.

  Next, according to the flowchart shown in FIGS. 8-14, the specific process of the characteristic part of the present Example 1 performed with the pachinko gaming machine 1 is demonstrated. Note that the programs shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 8 to 14 are stored in the ROM 102 and configured to be repeatedly executed by the CPU 101 at a predetermined timing.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing random number history storage processing. The CPU 101 (counting means) is the jackpot random number counter according to the division information of the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the execution area 103a5 at the timing when the symbol variation is started in the liquid crystal display device 12 (S1: YES). The number of acquisitions corresponding to the classification information of C1 is counted up in the random number history storage area 106a (S2).

  At this time, if the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 belongs to the section information corresponding to the jackpot winning (S3: YES), the CPU 101 (counting means) section information and the variable time random number counter corresponding to the value of the jackpot type random number counter C2 The value of C3 is associated and stored in the random number history storage area 106a (S4, S5). In addition, when it is not the timing when the symbol variation is started in the liquid crystal display device 12 (S1: NO), this processing is immediately terminated. If the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 corresponds to a loss (S3: NO), the process of S4 is skipped and only the value of the variable time random number counter C3 is stored.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the winning cycle storage process. The winning cycle storing process is a process for the CPU 101 (random number acquiring means) to specify the cycle in which random number information is acquired from the random number counters C1 to C3, and using the value of a start winning counter (not shown) (for example, a timer counter), The elapsed time from the previous winning timing to the starting port 22 to the winning timing to the current starting port 22 (S11: YES) is stored as a history (S12).

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a demonstration effect start process. In the demonstration effect start process, symbol variations such as an image effect on the liquid crystal display device 12 or a movable effect by an accessory (for example, a movable body) on a display device (second notification means) different from the liquid crystal display device 12 are executed. This is a process for specifying the number of executions of a demonstration effect as a standby effect that is set to be executed in advance when not performed, and is executed at a cycle of 4 msec.

  CPU101 (standby game control means) sets the value of the demonstration effect counter which is not illustrated to "7500", when the symbol fluctuation is performed in the liquid crystal display device 12 (S21: YES) (S27). When the symbol variation is stopped (S21, S22: NO), a subtraction process for decrementing the value of the demonstration effect counter by 1 is started (S23). Since the CPU 101 (standby game control means) executes this process at a cycle of 4 msec, if the symbol fluctuation stop state continues, the value of the demonstration effect counter becomes “0” when 30 sec elapses (S24: YES) A demonstration effect start process is executed (S25). The execution of the process of S25 by the CPU 101 (standby game control means) corresponds to an act of controlling the liquid crystal display device 12 (notification means) or the display device (second notification means) so as to execute the standby effect.

  Here, the demonstration effect is set to end 20 seconds after the start, and the CPU 101 (standby game control means) performs the processing of S21 and S22 unless the symbol variation display is started during the execution of the demonstration effect. Repeatedly. The CPU 101 (standby effect counting means) executes an addition process of incrementing the value of the demonstration execution number counter by 1 in response to the start of the demonstration effect (S26), and then the value of the demonstration execution number counter (the number of times the standby effect has been executed). ) Is stored in the random number history storage area 106a. The execution of the process of S26 by the CPU 101 (standby effect counting means) corresponds to an act of counting the number of times that the standby effect is executed by the CPU 101 (standby game control means).

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the test end specifying process. The test completion specifying process includes a state where a game is being played by the player (flows of S31, S39, and S40), a state where no game is being played (flows of S31 to S35), and a game being performed. This is a process for identifying a state in which there is no undigested random number information (the flow from S31, S32, S36 to S38), and is executed at a cycle of 4 msec, similar to the demonstration effect start process.

  The CPU 101 (game specifying means) fulfills at least one of the conditions in which a game is being performed, that is, whether the symbol variation display is executed or there is undigested random number information (S31: NO). Then, “0” is set in the added flag storage area (S39), and the value of the game end counter (not shown) is set to “15000” (S40). The added flag is set to “1” when the game is being executed but there is no undigested random number information and the symbol variation is interrupted (S38), and is set to “0” during the game. (S31: NO, S39).

  A state in which a game is not being performed, that is, a state in which no game is being performed, that is, no symbol variation display is executed, there is no undigested random number information (S31: YES), and no game ball is being fired. When the state is reached (S32: NO), a subtraction process for decrementing the value of the game end counter by 1 is started (S33). Since the CPU 101 (game specifying means) executes this process at a cycle of 4 msec, if the game non-execution state continues, the value of the game end counter becomes “0” when 60 sec elapses (S34: YES), and the test The type determination process is executed (S35).

  On the other hand, when the game is being executed, the symbol variation display has not been executed and there is no undigested random number information (S31: YES), but when the game ball is being fired (S32: (YES), CPU 101 (special counting means) executes an addition process for incrementing the value of the symbol fluctuation stop counter by 1 on condition that the added flag is not set to “1” (S36: NO) ( In S37, “1” is set in the added flag storage area (S38). Thereafter, as long as this state continues, the processes of S31, S32, S36, and S40 are repeatedly executed, and when at least one of the following conditions is satisfied: symbol variation display is performed again or undigested random number information is present. (S31: NO), “0” is set in the added flag storage area (S39).

  That is, the state where there is no undigested random number information means a state where the values of the random number counters C1 to C3 that are subject to symbol variation are not stored in the random number storage area 103a, and therefore symbol variation display is being executed. Number of times that the game ball has been fired from the state (flow of S31, S39, S40), but the change display of the symbol is stopped, and the undigested random number information disappears (flow of S31, S32, S36 to S38) By counting, it becomes possible to grasp the number of times that the symbol variation is interrupted. After the end of this process, the CPU 101 (special counting means) stores the value of the symbol fluctuation stop counter in the random number history storage area 106a. When the CPU 101 (special count means) executes the processing of S37, the random number storage area 103a (random number storage means) does not store the values of the random number counters C1 to C3, and the CPU 101 (game control means) changes the symbol ( This corresponds to the act of counting the number of times that the unit game has not been played.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the test type determination process executed in S35 of the test end specifying process. In the test type determination process, it is specified which test was performed among the real test and the simulation test, and the history of random number information acquired according to the specification is stored.
Here, the real test and the simulation test will be described. The real test is for testing a situation in which a game ball is actually fired and a game progresses. That is, in the real fire test, a game is actually performed. The simulation test is for testing a situation in which a game progresses when a game ball wins the starting port 22 at a constant period (for example, 10 sec). In the simulation test, it is assumed that a game is not actually performed, and a signal when a game ball is won at the start port 22 is input to the pachinko gaming machine 1 at regular intervals.
In the test type determination process, the CPU 101 (acquisition timing specifying means) confirms the winning history (acquisition timing) with reference to the value of the start winning counter stored in S12 in the winning cycle storage process of FIG. S51). Then, when the cycle in which the game ball has won the start opening 22 is not a fixed period (for example, 10 sec), it is determined that the real fire test has been performed (S52: YES). Thereby, the history storage process for actual shooting is executed (S53). On the other hand, when the cycle in which the game ball has won the start opening 22 is a constant cycle, it is determined that the simulation test has been performed (S52: NO). Thereby, the history storage process of simulation is executed (S54).
The explanation will be supplemented for S51 and S52. As described above, in the simulation test, a game ball wins the start opening 22 at every predetermined period. Thereby, when the simulation test is performed, the cycle in which the game ball has won the start opening 22 becomes a fixed period. That is, in S51 and S52, it is specified which test of the real fire test or the simulation test was performed according to the winning cycle of the game balls to the start port 22.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the history record processing for actual shooting executed in S53 of the test type determination process. The history storage process for actual shooting includes “10 hour test” (flow from S61 to S68), “500 test” (flow from S61, S62, S69 to S71, S67, and S68), and “300 test” ( S61, S62, S69, S72, S73, S67, S68) is determined to determine which test (inspection) has been performed, and a flag corresponding to the determined test is stored. (S66, S71, S73).

  First, the CPU 101 (information specifying means) specifies the number of symbol fluctuations (game information) from the number of acquisitions in each section information of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the random number history storage area 106a (S61). Based on the number of symbol changes specified by the CPU 101 (information specifying means), the CPU 101 (execution specifying means), when the specified symbol change count is 1000 or more (S62: YES), the random number history storage area. The game time is calculated based on various random number information stored in 106a (S63).

Specifically, the CPU 101 (execution specifying means) determines the sum of the variable display time associated with the value of the variable time random number counter C3 and the value of the demo execution number counter × 50 sec (30 sec before starting the demonstration effect + demo Stage execution time (20 sec), (value of symbol fluctuation stop counter−value of demo execution counter) × 15 sec, and division information (“2”, “3”, “58” corresponding to the jackpot winning of the jackpot random number counter C1 ”,“ 59 ”) is calculated based on the total number of acquisition times × 250 sec. Note that when the demonstration effect is executed, the game time may end in the middle. However, in the calculation of the game time, it is assumed that 50 seconds have passed without any symbol variation in order to simplify the calculation. Also, by subtracting the value of the demo execution counter from the value of the symbol variation stop counter, the number of symbol variation interruptions where the demonstration effect is not executed is calculated. Is also included in the game time.
Furthermore, the maximum number of times that the jackpot has occurred can be found from the classification information of the number of times of acquisition corresponding to the jackpot winning. Assuming that the average time from the start of the jackpot to the end is 250 seconds, the estimated time required to digest the jackpot can be calculated. In the first embodiment, the approximate time required for jackpot digestion is included in the game time.

  The CPU 101 (execution specifying means), when the game time calculated in the process of S63 is 10 hours or more (S64: YES), on the condition that the 10-hour test flag is not set to “1” (S65: NO) ) “1” is set in the 10-hour test flag storage area (S66). After the processing of S66, the random number information stored in the random number history storage area 106a, that is, the division information of the big hit random number counter C1, the division information of the big hit type random number counter C2, and the value of the variation time random number counter C3 (see FIG. 5), The value of the demo execution counter, the value of the symbol variation stop counter, and the value of the start winning counter are shifted to the 10-hour test storage area 106b1 of the actual storage area 106b (S67). After the shift, the random number information stored in the random number history storage area 106a is deleted (S68). In S68, the history of the elapsed time until the winning timing of the game ball to the starting port 22 stored in the above-described starting port winning history storing process (S12) is deleted.

  Similarly, the CPU 101 (execution specifying means) determines that the 500 times test flag is not set to “1” when the specified symbol variation count is 500 times or more and less than 1000 times (S69: YES). (S70: NO), “1” is set in the test flag storage area 500 times (S71). After the processing of S71, the random number information stored in the random number history storage area 106a is shifted to the storage area 106b2 for 500 times test in the real-time storage area 106b (S67), and then stored in the random number history storage area 106a. The stored random number information is deleted (S68).

  On the other hand, the CPU 101 (execution specifying means) sets “1” in the 300 times test flag storage area when the specified symbol variation count is 300 times or more and less than 500 times (S72: YES) (S73). After the process of S73, the random number information stored in the random number history storage area 106a is shifted to the storage area 106b3 for 300 times test in the real-time storage area 106b (S67), and then stored in the random number history storage area 106a. The stored random number information is deleted (S68).

  Further, for example, in a test performed as “500 times test” or “300 times test”, the number of symbol variations may exceed 1000 times. In this case, the CPU 101 (execution specifying means) determines that the game time is less than 10 hours (S64: NO), and the 500 times test flag is not set to “1” (S70: NO), “500 times test”. Is determined (S71, S67, S68), and if the 500 times test flag is already set to “1” (S70: YES), it is determined that “300 times test” has been executed. (S73, S67, S68).

  Further, the CPU 101 (execution specifying means) confirms that the “10-hour test” has already ended if the number of symbol fluctuations exceeds 1000 and the game time exceeds 10 hours (S64: YES). As a condition (S65: YES), it is determined that "500 times test" has been executed (S70: NO, S71). If "500 times test" has already been completed (S70: YES), "300 times" It is determined that "test" has been executed (S73).

  As a matter of course, after the test flag corresponding to the test of “500 times test” or “300 times test” is set to “1”, the number of symbol variations is larger than those tests (the test period is longer). The test flag corresponding to the “long” 10-hour test may be set to “1”.

  However, the CPU 101 (execution specifying means), if the number of changes of the specified symbol is less than 300 (S62, S69, S72: NO), the processing of S68, that is, the random number information stored in the random number history storage area 106a. The erasing process is not executed. As a result, when the test is started again after the specified number of symbol fluctuations is less than 300, and the test is started again, the random number information history is added to the previously stored random number information history. Can be stored. That is, if the specified number of symbol variations is less than 300, even if the test is interrupted, it is possible to store the history of random number information on the assumption that the same test is subsequently executed.

  In this way, in order from the finished test, the test flag corresponding to the test is set to “1”, and a test with a large number of symbol variations or a time-consuming test (second inspection) has a small symbol variation frequency or It is considered that the test was completed in preference to the time-consuming test (first inspection). That is, the priority order is set for storing the test flag according to the order of determining various tests.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the history storage process for simulation executed in S54 of the test type determination process. The history storage process for simulation is almost the same as the history storage process for real shooting, “8 hours test” (flow of S81 to S88), “600 times test” (S81, S82, S89 to S91, S87, S88). Flow) and “400 times test” (flows of S81, S82, S89, S92, S93, S87, and S88), it is determined which test (inspection) has been performed. Corresponding flags are stored (S86, S91, S93).

  In the simulation history storage process, the game time calculation method executed in S83 is different from the game time calculation method executed in S63 of the actual shooting history storage process, except for the history for actual shooting. Almost the same processing as the storage processing is executed. In the following, points different from the history record processing for shooting will be described, and for the same points, step numbers in FIG. 14 are displayed by adding 20 to the corresponding step numbers in FIG. To do.

  In the process of S83, the CPU 101 (execution specifying means) determines the sum of the variable display time associated with the value of the variable time random number counter C3 and the division information (“2”, “ 3 ”,“ 58 ”,“ 59 ”) and the total number of acquisition times × 250 sec. Since the simulation test is performed on the assumption that the game ball regularly wins the start port 22 (the ball detection signal from the start winning detector 132 is periodically input to the main circuit 100), the test proceeds. This is because the fluctuation is assumed to be uninterrupted. In the process of S87, the CPU 101 (execution specifying means) determines the category information of the jackpot random number counter C1, the category information of the jackpot type random number counter C2, the value of the variable time random number counter C3 (see FIG. 5), and the start winning counter. The value is shifted to one of the corresponding storage areas 106c1 to 106c3 of the simulation storage area 106c.

  After the random number information is stored in each of the storage areas 106b1 to 106b3 and 106c1 to 106c3, the history of the random number information is stored in the random number history storage area 106a as needed. Thus, by referring to the random number information stored in the random number history storage area 106a and each of the storage areas 106a, 106b1 to 106b3, 106c1 to 106c3, the operation standard of the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be calculated. This can be used as a guide when recycling the parts used in the gaming machine 1.

  As is clear from the above description, according to the first embodiment, by referring to the number of times of acquisition of the value of the random number counter in each section information of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the random number history storage area 106, A range (classification) and a low range where the frequency of the acquired random number is high can be specified (see FIG. 5). Thereby, the tendency of the acquired random number can be analyzed. Further, after the test (inspection) is completed, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 to be tested is put on the market, the fact that a biased random number has been acquired can be confirmed. Thereby, it can be discovered at an early stage, for example, that an illegal act by a sensory device has been performed.

  In the first embodiment, the category information of the jackpot random number counter C1 is also classified for each predetermined range and associated with each category even if the range does not include the value of the random number counter corresponding to the advantageous result. (See FIGS. 5 and 6). Thereby, the range where the frequency of the acquired random number is high and the low range can be specified not only for the range where the advantageous result is obtained but also the range where the advantageous result is not obtained. For this reason, for example, if there are too many jackpots and the test fails, a random number belonging to a high frequency range obtained in a range that does not produce an advantageous result is set so that it belongs to a range that produces an advantageous result. By changing, it is possible to easily pass the test when the test is performed again.

  Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the CPU 101 (acquisition timing specifying means) specifies that the value of the big hit random number counter C1 is acquired at a predetermined acquisition cycle by the processing of S51 and S52 of the test type determination processing. The state can be distinguished from the state in which the value of the big hit random number counter C1 is not acquired in the acquisition cycle. As a result, it is possible to identify the random number acquisition frequency by distinguishing the actual test from the simulation test (S53, S54), and to perform a detailed analysis according to the actual condition of the test.

(Modification)
The range in which the values of the random number counters C1 to C3 can be updated and the classification information corresponding to the values of the random number counters C1 and C2 can be changed as appropriate. In addition, when a combination other than the big win and the loss is set (for example, a small win), the division information may be set so that the number of times that the combination is won can be specified. Further, in the value of the variable time random number counter C3, as with the value of the big hit random number counter C1, the value of the variable time random number counter C3 is divided for each predetermined range, and the division information associated with each division is allocated. In other words, the number of acquisitions of the value of the variable time random number counter C3 in each section information may be counted.

  When it is determined that the content of the completed test does not correspond to any test, the random number information stored in the random number history storage area 106a can be distinguished from the real storage area 106b and the simulation storage area 106c. May be shifted to a different storage area.

  After the game is started, it may be determined whether the real test or the simulation test is performed until a predetermined time elapses, and it may be determined that the same test is continued until the game ends. Specifically, the winning cycle storage process of FIG. 9 and the test type determination process of FIG. 12 are executed until a predetermined time elapses after the game is started, and a real test is performed or a simulation test is performed. What is necessary is just to identify. According to this, it is not necessary to execute the winning cycle storing process of FIG. 9 and the test type determining process of FIG. 12 after specifying the real test or the simulation test.

  The case where the symbol variation is performed may be a state where a game of a mode different from the state where the game ball is being fired is being performed. For example, in the case where some kind of symbol variation is performed when a game ball is won in a prize opening different from the start port 22, the symbol variation itself may be regarded as a game. As a specific example, a game may be considered when a game ball is won at the passing gate 24 and a display corresponding to the result of the general drawing lottery is executed on the general diagram display unit 25.

  When the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 corresponds to the jackpot winning, the jackpot type is determined from the value of the jackpot type random number counter C2, but the jackpot type random number counter C2 may be omitted. In this case, a value corresponding to the normal jackpot winning and a value corresponding to the probability variation jackpot winning may be allocated in advance to the value of the jackpot random number counter C1.

  You may make it determine with the game being performed also when the game ball is not being fired or when the symbol variation is not performed. For example, in the case where an operation switch (operation means) for producing an effect by the player's operation is provided, it can be determined that the game is being performed when the operation switch is operated. Moreover, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 that can specify that the player is sitting in front of the pachinko gaming machine 1 or holding the hand over the liquid crystal display device 12, when the player is seated, When it is detected that the hand is held over the liquid crystal display device 12, it can be determined that a game is being played.

  It may be possible to specify whether or not random numbers belonging to the same category information of the big hit random number counter C1 are continuously acquired. According to this, it is possible to easily find out whether or not cheating by the sensation device is being performed. In this case, for example, by notifying an abnormality, it becomes possible to effectively discover an illegal act.

  The content of the test can be changed as appropriate within the assumed range. Further, a test different from the real test and the simulation test may be performed. In this case, the acquired random number history may be stored in the random number history storage area 106 so as to be distinguishable for each test.

  By extracting the history of random numbers stored in the real storage area 106b and the simulation storage area 106c to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 1, it is not limited to calculating the operating time, for example, by the pachinko gaming machine itself, The operating time may be calculated based on the history.

  The content of the unit game may be changed. For example, a game result may be notified when an accessory (figure) moves and the accessory stops.

  In the configuration in which which effect is to be executed based on the acquired random number, a history of random numbers for determining the content of the effect may be stored. That is, the game results include not only those directly related to the player's profit but also those not related to the player's profit.

  If attention is paid to the fact that one test is completed and the game time is specified from the history of random numbers, no classification information is allocated to the random number counters C1 and C2, and the obtained random number value itself is stored in the random number history. You may make it memorize | store in the area 106. FIG.

  When the random number history is stored in the random number history storage area 106, the random number history may be stored so that it can be distinguished when the random number is acquired. For example, a random number history can be stored so that dates can be distinguished, and a random number history can be stored so as to distinguish the latest 1,000 symbol variations. According to this, it is possible to easily find out at which timing the same random number is frequently acquired.

  The present invention is not limited to pachinko gaming machines and may be applied to slot machines. In this case, a random number may be acquired when the game medium is invested and an operation for starting a game is performed by the player. It can also be determined that a game is being played when a game is started or when a game medium is invested.
