Description

  The present invention relates to a game information display device that displays game information of a gaming machine that generates a special state with an increased probability that a small role will be won internally.

  A game information display device for displaying various game information for a player is installed in the game hall. For example, in Patent Document 1, for each occurrence of a jackpot, the start indicating the number of lotteries of the jackpot lottery is totaled, and the expected distribution of jackpots is displayed by comparing the distribution of the start with the current start. Yes. In this case, the jackpot lottery draws with the same probability every time, so there is no support in the specifications for the expected level of occurrence, but some players refer to this expected level of occurrence to bias the jackpot lottery Some players predict.

JP-A-6-126037

Now, among the players as described above, there are some players who predict that the big hit is close based on the game information before the big hit (bonus) occurs. When such a player plays a slot machine, for example, if a bonus occurs several times immediately after a specific small role (for example, a replay role) appears frequently, the specific small role will frequently occur. There is a tendency to think that a bonus will occur.
However, since the conventional game information display device does not assume such a player, a game information display device that provides the game information required by such a player is desired.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the overall configuration of a game hall system. In the amusement hall, corresponding to the slot machine 1 (corresponding to a gaming machine), a lending machine 2 and an information display device 3 (game information display device, winning identification means, game identification means, small role history storage means, special state identification means, Related information specifying means, related history storage means, related information storage means, determination means, and setting means) are installed, and a management device 4 is installed in the management room. The relay device 5 is connected to two slot machines 1, two lending machines 2, an information display device 3, and a management device 4 through a LAN 6. The management device 4 manages the game data of the slot machine 1 by receiving the game signal transmitted from the slot machine side (slot machine 1, lending machine 2, etc.) via the relay device 5. Although omitted in FIG. 1, several hundred slot machines 1 are actually managed by the management device 4.

  In the slot machine 1, a plurality of symbols are changed in accordance with a predetermined arrangement in a window portion 7 having a total of nine symbol display areas consisting of three rows of an upper row, a middle row, a lower row, a left row, a middle row, and a right row. Reels 8a to 8c to be displayed (corresponding to symbol variation display means), and a state in which medals (corresponding to game media) are inserted (BET) from the insertion slot 9 (normally 3 BETs and 2 bonuses) Yes, all of them are fixed), and a stop lever operated by the player to stop the symbol change display by the start lever 10 (corresponding to the start operation means) and the reels 8a to 8c operated by the player to start the game. Buttons 11a to 11c (corresponding to stop operation means) and a control device (not shown) (corresponding to lottery means, display control means, winning determination means, profit granting means, special state generating means) are configured. In response to the operation of the start lever 10, the control device executes an internal lottery for determining an internal winning combination from a plurality of types including a small combination, and a stop provided corresponding to the reels 8a to 8c. When the buttons 11a to 11c are operated, the symbol corresponding to the internal winning combination is drawn within a predetermined drawing range (four symbols) and is stopped and displayed in the symbol display areas 7a to 7c. In this case, while the bonus combination is an internal winning combination until winning, only the internal winning combination other than the bonus combination is an internal winning combination. It is determined whether or not a winning has occurred based on a combination of symbols stopped and displayed in each of the symbol display areas 7a to 7c. Pay medal (equivalent to profit) to the player. When the bonus symbol is stopped (corresponding to “the condition for generating a special condition set in advance” is met), a bonus (corresponding to a special condition) is generated that increases the probability that a small role will be won internally. When the given number of medals are paid out (corresponding to “when the end condition is satisfied”), the bonus is ended.

  2 shows the reel arrangement of the slot machine 1, FIG. 3 shows the winning combination, FIG. 4 shows the winning line, and FIG. 5 shows the internal winning table. As shown in FIG. 4, five pay lines 1 to 5 are set, and when the winning symbol shown in FIG. 3 is stopped on any of the pay lines (the winning combination is won), payout is performed. Bonus and small roles are set as winning combinations. As the bonus combination, a BB combination and an RB combination that are internally won are set with a probability of 1/256, and when these bonus combinations are won, bonuses in the BB state and the RB state are generated, respectively. If the winning rate of the winning combination increases, and 15 internal winnings are won, 15 will be paid out. The BB state is terminated by paying out more than 300 medals, and the RB state is terminated by 8 winnings. For small roles, there are 7 winning combinations with a probability of 1/8, 5 winning roles with an internal winning probability of 1/16, 2 winning roles with an internal winning probability of 1/100, and 1 / 7.3. A replay combination for internal winning is set with the probability of, and when the replay combination wins, a re-game can be performed without inserting medals, and when a non-replay combination wins, a corresponding number of medals are paid out. That is, when a small combination wins, it operates as a profit granting means for granting a player a medal corresponding to the small combination and a right (profit) of re-game.

  The slot machine 1 is provided with setting values (1 to 6) corresponding to a plurality of stages of the payout rate, and is set so as to be advantageous to the player, for example, the bonus winning probability increases as the setting value increases. ing.

The next game signal is output from the slot machine side.
Out signal = output from slot machine 1 Since medals in the BET state (three) are pulse-outputted when medals in the BET state are used according to the start operation, the number of out signals × 1 is out (the number of used media). In addition, the corresponding part is output at the time of replay.
Safe signal = output from slot machine 1 Since one pulse is output each time a medal is paid out, the number of safe signals × 1 is safe (the number of payout media). The medal used for the game is output even when the replay role is won.
BB and RB signals = output from slot machine 1 Since the level is output at the corresponding bonus (BB, RB), the signal reception period is specified as a bonus.
Sales signal = output from lending machine 2. Since one pulse is output for every five lent medals (equivalent to 100 yen), the number of sales signals × 100 is the sales amount.

  A game signal output from the slot machine 1 is output from an output means included in the slot machine 1. Note that a game signal that can specify that a game has been executed from the slot machine 1 and a small signal that can specify a small combination that has been determined to have won a prize are indirectly output by an out signal or a safe signal, as will be described later. Although it is configured by an out signal or a safe signal because a game or a small role can be specified, a game signal that can be directly specified may be output.

FIG. 10 is a front view of the information display device 3. The information display device 3 is provided with a call button 12, a data switching button group 13, and an information display unit 14. FIG. 10 shows an example in which the information display unit 14 is switched and described later, and a title display unit 14a, a small part winning display unit 14b, and a telop display unit 14c are displayed.
The information display device 3 includes a control unit (CPU), a storage unit (RAM, ROM, CF (compact flash (registered trademark))), and a transmission / reception unit (I / F) (not shown). It functions as a receiving means for receiving the game signal output from the slot machine 1.
The information display device 3 has the corresponding combination setting shown in FIG. 6 set via the management device 4 and corresponds to the small combination history shown in FIG. 7, the immediately preceding history shown in FIG. 8, and the previous winning total shown in FIG. Each storage area is provided.

The corresponding combination setting in FIG. 6 sets the setting values related to each game information shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, and for each “target small combination” to be data collected, “payout number”, “extraction range”, “Small range” to “Large range” are set, and “Switch display”, “Distribution upper limit”, and “History G number” are set.
“Extraction range” indicates the extraction range of “actual G interval” in the previous winning total of FIG.
“Small range” to “Large range” are set values for “distribution ratio” in the previous winning total of FIG. 9, and in FIG. 9, the distribution ratio belonging to the large range is identified and displayed. Further, the expectation display in the switching display described later is made depending on whether the distribution ratio of the distribution range in FIG. 9 to which the number of winnings for each target small role in the small role history in FIG. 7 belongs is in the small to large range. change.
“Switching display” is a setting value for switching display (which is a condition for switching display), and the distribution range corresponding to the distribution ratio belonging to the large range in the previous winning total of FIG. When the number of types of target small roles to which the number of winnings indicated by the combination history belongs is greater than or equal to this set value, switching display is performed. The approximate range is defined by the “switch display” and the “large range”.
The “allocation upper limit” is a setting value for the number of individual prizes to which the number of distributions is allocated in the previous prize aggregation in FIG. 9 is set, and is set to “5 times” in the corresponding role setting in FIG. Therefore, in FIG. 9, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 winnings are individually counted, and 5 winnings or more are counted as one division. In addition, if the range of winning number division can be set, how to set, for example, individually set for each range (corresponding to the allocation range) such as 0, 1-2, 3-4, 5 It is also possible to just adopt the number of winnings without setting a range.
“History G number” is a setting value indicating how many games the small role history of FIG. 7 is stored.
It is not necessary to store all of the history as the storage area indicating the transition of the small role history in FIG. 7, and 10 games corresponding to the number of history G set in the corresponding role setting in FIG. One storage area for storing “the number of games”) may be provided. Further, the number of “NO.” Is provided for the “number of histories G” set in FIG. 6, and the storage target is also “target small part” in FIG. 6.
The information display device 3 executes switching display during the next game when the condition of “switching display” in the corresponding combination setting in FIG. 6 is satisfied. 7 to 10 can be displayed in accordance with the operation of the data switching button group 13.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described.
In addition to the normal display operation for displaying the game information of the corresponding slot machine 1, the information display device 3 executes a small role history update process in connection with the present invention. This small part history update process is a process for storing a winning history of a small part immediately before the latest (previous) bonus. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the small role history update process. It is assumed that the winning small combinations for the past 10 games are already stored in the small combination history of FIG. 7 as shown in (1). No. 0 corresponds to the latest game (during the game), and corresponds to past games in numerical order. That is, NO. In correspondence with, it is stored in such a way that it is possible to specify which small role is won before the game. For example, in No. 10, it is possible to specify a small role that won 10 games before. Since the game is currently waiting, NO. Nothing is stored in 0.

  The information display device 3 performs a game specifying process for specifying the execution of the game based on the out signal (S1). That is, when the out-count of the maximum BET number (three) of one game set separately, or when the out signal reception period has passed a set time (for example, 30 seconds), or when a safe signal is received after receiving the out signal, Determined to be identified. If the game is specified (S1: YES), whether it is a small role winning (S2), whether the game is specified (S10), whether the game is finished (30 seconds have passed since the game is specified) (S5), It is determined whether or not a prize has been won (S7).

  In the small role winning determination (S2), a winning combination specifying process for specifying a winning combination by comparing the safe with the corresponding combination setting shown in FIG. 6 is executed. That is, when a set time (for example, 3 seconds) elapses after receiving a safe signal, or when the first out signal after receiving the safe signal is received (next game specification), the safe from the previous reception of the out signal is determined between games. The safe is identified, and the safe and the corresponding role setting in FIG. 6 are collated. As a result of the collation, if it is determined that it is a small role winning (S2: YES), NO. The small role won in 0 is stored (S3), and the small role history is advanced (S4). In the example shown in FIG. 7 (2), since the winning of the replay role is determined in the state of FIG. 0 stores “replay role”. After that, NO. 10 is deleted and NO. 0-NO. 9 for NO. 1-NO. 10 is updated, and after the update, the state shown in FIG.

  When the information display device 3 specifies the end of the game without winning a small role or bonus (S5: YES), NO. The fact that there was no winning at 0, that is, “out” is stored (S6), and the small role history is advanced (S4). Similarly, when the next game is specified without winning a small role or bonus (in the case of a continuous game) (S10: YES), NO. “Out” is stored in 0 (S11), and the small role history is advanced (S12). In the example shown in FIG. 0 is stored as “out of”. Thereafter, the small role history is advanced and the state shown in FIG.

  When the bonus combination wins (S7: YES), the information display device 3 displays the NO. The small combinations (corresponding to special state-related information) stored in 1 to 10 are transferred and stored in the immediately preceding history of FIG. 8 (S8), and the small combination history is initialized (S9). The example shown in FIG. 7 (6) illustrates the case where a bonus is won after the game is specified. 1 to 10 are transferred to the immediately preceding history of FIG. 8 and initialized as shown in FIG. 7 (7).

  FIG. 8 shows an example of the immediately preceding history (corresponding to related display information and related history information) in which the small role history of FIG. NO. 1 (number 1 shown in the horizontal direction in the figure) is the latest history information, and corresponds to past bonuses in the order of increasing numerical values (on the right side in the figure). In addition, NO. The history information 1 corresponds to the small role history shown in FIG. In addition, NO. 4 and NO. The history information 6 indicates a state where a bonus is won within 10 games from the end of the previous bonus.

The information display device 3 creates a previous winning total based on the previous history shown in FIG.
9 shows that the number of winnings for each small role specified by the immediately preceding history of FIG. 8 (corresponding to the number of small winnings) is based on the distribution range specified based on the distribution upper limit (five times) in FIG. This is an example of the immediately preceding winning total (corresponding to related display information and related game information) in which the previous history is distributed and totaled according to which of the five (5 or more winning prizes) belongs to, and the number of histories is specified as “number of distributions”. In other words, if there are 5 winning combinations, the history immediately before winning 0 (no winning (out of)) is 0, 1 winning 7 times, 2 winning 3 times, 3 winning 2 times, 4 winning 0 times, 5 The number of distributions is counted, such as once for winning or more.
“Distribution ratio” indicates the ratio of the number of distributions in each distribution range to the total number of distributions (the number of target bonuses (corresponding to the target special state)). Since the total number of distributions (target bonus) is 13 times, 54% is calculated as the distribution ratio in 7 ÷ 13. Incidentally, both the number of distributions and the distribution ratio correspond to distribution information.

“Number of games” indicates the total number of “out-of-game” games that each winning combination has won or won nothing (corresponding to the number of eligible small roles), and the total number of games for each small role is the target G number. Thus, the value obtained by dividing the target G number by the number of games of each small role is the “actual G interval”, that is, the average winning interval game number. In the example shown in FIG. 9, the target G number is 100, and the number of games with 5 winning combinations is 24. Therefore, 100 ÷ 24 = 4.2 is calculated as the actual G interval of 5 winning combinations. Note that “theoretical G interval” indicates the average number of winning interval games based on the internal winning random number (target random number (65536) ÷ each winning random number (4096 when using 5 cards) = 16 G). That is, “G interval” indicates the reciprocal of the winning probability. The actual winning probability (corresponding to the small role winning rate) that is the reciprocal of the actual G interval may be used as the calculation target. The actual G interval and the actual winning probability both correspond to winning rate information.
Further, the “distribution range” belonging to the “large range” (50% or more) in the corresponding role setting of FIG. 6 is identified and displayed. Note that “out of” is not identified because there is no distribution ratio belonging to a large range. The “real G interval” is displayed so as to be able to distinguish between excess and less when “extraction range” in the corresponding role setting of FIG.

The information display device 3 displays “switching display” (2) in which the number of small roles belonging to the “large range” in FIG. In the case of the above, the information display unit 14 is switched and displayed.
FIG. 10 shows an example of the switching display (corresponding to the related display information), which corresponds to the state of FIG. 7 (6). In this case, the number of winnings for the 5 winning combination is 1 and the number of winning for the replaying role is 2, and the corresponding distribution ratio (allocation ratio) in the previous winning total of FIG. 9 belongs to a large range. The number of types of target small roles in FIG. 7 (6) where the number of winning combinations for small roles belongs to the large range satisfies the “switching display” condition (two or more types) set in the corresponding role setting in FIG. Since it belongs, it is switched and displayed. In the small role winning display section 14b, the number of winnings in the small role history of FIG. 7 is displayed for each target small role, and the allocation which is the “distribution ratio” in the previous winning total of FIG. 9 of the distribution range to which the winning number belongs. The ratio and the degree of expectation specified by which of the “small range” to “large range” in the corresponding role setting in FIG. 6 are displayed. Therefore, the player who sees this display will know that the winning combination of the five-player role and the replaying role approximates the winning situation before the bonus in the past, so that the player may win the bonus. expect. Further, although the degree of expectation is “medium”, the situation that is out of the 7-score combination is slightly similar to the winning situation before the bonus in the past, so further bonuses are expected.
Note that a message relating to the small role that causes the switching display is displayed on the telop display unit 14c. In this message, characters other than the target small role are set in advance, and at the time of switching display, the corresponding small target is displayed. You can fit the role.

According to such embodiment, the information display apparatus 3 can have the following effects.
The game hero history immediately before the bonus is aggregated, and when the winning status of the hero is in the winning status, an indicator is shown to the player indicating the bonus has occurred. In such a game situation, it becomes possible to grasp the tendency of whether or not a bonus is likely to occur. That is, it becomes possible to provide suitable game information to a player who predicts that the bonus is close by becoming a game state similar to the game state immediately before the occurrence of a past bonus.

Since the previous history of FIG. 8 is displayed, it is possible to grasp what kind of small role winning etc. the latest bonus has occurred through the previous history, and more specifically to grasp the current game situation. become.
Since the previous winning totals shown in FIG. 9 are displayed, the previous winning totals can be used to grasp the tendency of small roles that are easy to win when a bonus occurs, and more specifically to understand the game situation related to the bonus. become.
Since the switching display of FIG. 10 is performed, a game state similar to the game state immediately before the occurrence of a past bonus can be achieved, so that it is possible to appropriately hit a player who predicts that the bonus is close.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be modified or expanded as follows.
As for the game situation after the bonus ends, the small role history is stored as the small role history immediately after FIG. 7, and the number of consecutive games is set for the number of games after the bonus ends. When a bonus is generated, it is determined that the generated bonus is a consecutive-village bonus (corresponding to a consecutive-village special state). As in FIG. 8 and FIG. In this way, it is possible to provide the player with an index indicating a game tendency indicating what kind of game situation will occur after the bonus ends, so that it becomes a so-called consecutive resort where the bonus is continuously generated. 2).

In the case of the above configuration, when the game situation immediately after the bonus approximates the small role history immediately after the consecutive resort as in the switching display of FIG. A switching display such as 10 may be performed. By doing in this way, it becomes possible to expect a recreational resort depending on the game situation after the bonus ends.
Although management of the game information of FIGS. 7 to 9 is illustrated in units of gaming machines, it may be managed in units of the same game model. Further, a player ID that can identify a player during a game may be received to identify that the player is playing a game, and may be managed in units of players.
Depending on the player, for example, a player who is interested only in the winning status of a specific small role (for example, there is a small role that is interested only in the 7th character role and not interested in the winning status of the 5th character role, or is particularly interested in For example, the player may be allowed to select a target small role. In this case, it is a matter of course that it is only necessary to specify a small combination that is a condition for switching display.

Although one business day (cumulative from the start of business) is illustrated as the target period, the target period may be defined over a plurality of days.
Although FIG. 10 is the target of the switching display, it does not have to be the target. In this case, any one of FIGS.
Although the conditions for switching display are set according to the distribution ratio, for example, it is set based on the actual G interval or the actual winning probability, or there is a previous history that matches the small role history in FIG. Is a condition for switching display, or a switching display condition for one type of small role without setting "switching display", etc. As long as it can be specified, any condition may be set as the approximate range. Further, the switching display may be a display such as a pop-up display for displaying that the small role history before and after the bonus approximates the current small role history as well as switching the entire screen.
