本発明は、遊技媒体を用いて遊技者が遊技を行うことが可能であり、遊技領域における入賞領域に遊技媒体が入賞したことにもとづいて遊技媒体を払い出すパチンコ機やスロット機、パロット機などの遊技機に関する。 The present invention is a player using a game medium is capable of performing Yu technique, a pachinko machine or a slot machine to pay out a game medium based on the game medium has been finished in the winning area in the gaming area, Parrot machine It relates to such gaming machines.

本発明による遊技機は、遊技媒体（例えば、遊技球）を用いて遊技者が遊技を行うことが可能であり、所定の払出条件が成立したこと（例えば、遊技球が入賞口に入賞したこと。球貸し要求があったこと。）にもとづいて遊技媒体を払い出す遊技機であって、遊技の進行を制御する遊技制御用マイクロコンピュータ（例えば、遊技制御用マイクロコンピュータ５６０）と、遊技媒体の払い出しを行う払出手段（例えば、球払出装置９７）と、払出手段を制御する払出制御用マイクロコンピュータ（例えば、払出制御用マイクロコンピュータ３７０）と、を備え、遊技制御用マイクロコンピュータと払出制御用マイクロコンピュータとは、シリアル通信で信号を入出力し（例えば、遊技制御用マイクロコンピュータ５６０と払出制御用マイクロコンピュータ３７０とは、それぞれシリアル通信回路５０５，３８０を内蔵し、図２４に示す払出制御コマンドをシリアル通信で送受信する）、遊技制御用マイクロコンピュータは、所定期間（例えば、１秒）が経過したか否かを判定する所定期間判定手段（例えば、遊技制御用マイクロコンピュータ５６０におけるステップＳ５２３１３を実行する部分）と、払出制御用マイクロコンピュータとの通信接続状態を確認するための接続確認信号（例えば、接続確認コマンド）を、所定期間判定手段によって所定期間が経過したと判定される毎に払出制御用マイクロコンピュータに出力する接続確認信号出力手段（例えば、遊技制御用マイクロコンピュータ５６０においてステップＳ５２３１３でＹと判定した後にステップＳ５２１１を実行する部分）と、遊技による払出条件が成立したこと（例えば、遊技球が入賞口に入賞したこと）にもとづいて、払い出すべき景品としての景品遊技媒体の数（例えば、賞球個数）を特定可能な払出数データ（例えば、賞球コマンド出力カウンタのカウント値）を記憶する払出数記憶手段（例えば、賞球コマンド出力カウンタ）と、払出数記憶手段に記憶された払出数データにもとづいて、払い出すべき景品遊技媒体の数を特定可能な払出数信号（例えば、賞球個数コマンド）を払出制御用マイクロコンピュータに出力する払出数信号出力手段（例えば、遊技制御用マイクロコンピュータ５６０におけるステップＳ５２３０５を実行する部分）と、を含み、払出制御用マイクロコンピュータは、接続確認信号出力手段が出力した接続確認信号を入力したことにもとづいて応答信号（例えば、接続ＯＫコマンド）を遊技制御用マイクロコンピュータに出力する応答信号出力手段（例えば、払出制御用マイクロコンピュータ３７０におけるステップＳ７４１５，Ｓ７４２０８を実行する部分）と、払出数信号出力手段により出力された払出数信号で特定される数または貸出要求による払出条件の成立にもとづく所定数の貸し遊技媒体を、払出手段を駆動制御して払い出させる払出制御を実行する遊技媒体払出制御手段（例えば、払出制御用マイクロコンピュータ３７０におけるステップＳ７５１１３の処理が実行されて払出モータ２８９が起動され、ステップＳ７５６の払出モータ制御処理が実行される部分）と、払出数信号で特定される数または所定数を超えた払出過多数と払出数信号で特定される数または所定数に満たなかった払出不足数とを示すデータ（例えば、払出個数異常カウンタのカウント値）を累積的に更新する累積更新手段（例えば、払出制御用マイクロコンピュータ３７０におけるステップＳ７５０３，Ｓ７５３２０，Ｓ７５３２５，Ｓ７５３３５を実行する部分）と、累積更新手段によって更新されたデータが特定値（例えば、所定の払出個数異常エラー判定値（例えば、２０００））となると、所定の処理を実行する所定処理実行手段（例えば、払出制御用マイクロコンピュータ３７０におけるステップＳ７５０５，Ｓ７５３２２，Ｓ７７２６で払出個数異常エラー指定ビットをセットした後、ステップＳ７５１０１でＮと判定して払出動作を行わないように制御する部分）と、を含み、応答信号出力手段は、遊技制御用マイクロコンピュータが制御状態を認識可能な態様で応答信号を遊技制御用マイクロコンピュータに出力する（例えば、払出制御用マイクロコンピュータ３７０は、ステップＳ７４１４，Ｓ７４２０７の処理を実行して、図２５に示すように接続ＯＫコマンドの下位４ビットに賞球エラーや満タンエラー、球切れエラー、払出個数異常エラーをセットして送信する）ことを特徴とする。そのような構成により、シリアル通信方式を用いることにより、遊技制御用マイクロコンピュータと払出制御用マイクロコンピュータとの配線の取り回しの容易化を図ることができる。また、払出制御用マイクロコンピュータが接続確認信号の入力にもとづいて定期的に出力する応答信号に制御状態を乗せることにより、制御状態信号（制御状態が付加された応答信号）を出力することができるため、制御状態信号の出力タイミングを考慮することなく制御状態信号の取りこぼし等の発生を防止することができ、遊技制御用マイクロコンピュータと払出制御用マイクロコンピュータとの間の通信を確実に行うことができる。さらに、各々の払出制御について判断するのではなく、累積的に更新されたデータにもとづいて異常な状況下で実行された払出制御を総合的に判断して所定の処理を実行させることができる。従って、不正に遊技媒体を払い出させる行為をより的確に防止することを可能とすることができる。 Game machine according to the present invention is that the game medium (e.g., game balls) player using it it is possible to perform Yu technique, when a predetermined payout condition is satisfied (e.g., game balls were prize to the winning port A gaming machine that pays out game media based on a ball lending request), a game control microcomputer that controls the progress of the game (for example, a game control microcomputer 560), and a game medium A payout means (for example, a ball payout device 97) and a payout control microcomputer (for example, a payout control microcomputer 370) for controlling the payout means, and a game control microcomputer and a payout control The microcomputer inputs and outputs signals through serial communication (for example, a game control microcomputer 560 and a payout control microcomputer). The computer 370 includes serial communication circuits 505 and 380, respectively, and sends and receives the payout control command shown in FIG. 24 by serial communication.) Whether the game control microcomputer has passed a predetermined period (for example, 1 second) A connection confirmation signal (for example, connection) for confirming a communication connection state between the predetermined period determination means for determining whether or not (for example, the portion of step S52313 in the game control microcomputer 560 that executes step S52313) and the payout control microcomputer The connection confirmation signal output means (for example, the game control microcomputer 560 determines Y in step S52313) to output a confirmation command) to the payout control microcomputer every time the predetermined period determination means determines that the predetermined period has elapsed. Step S5211 is executed after Part) and the number of prize game media as prizes to be paid out (for example, the number of prize balls) can be specified based on the fact that a game payout condition has been established (for example, a game ball has won a prize opening) Payout number storage means (for example, a prize ball command output counter) for storing a payout number data (for example, a count value of a prize ball command output counter) and a payout number data stored in the payout number storage means. A payout number signal output means (for example, step S52305 in the game control microcomputer 560 is executed) that outputs a payout number signal (for example, a prize ball number command) that can specify the number of prize game media to be output to the payout control microcomputer. The payout control microcomputer inputs the connection confirmation signal output from the connection confirmation signal output means. Based on the above, response signal output means for outputting a response signal (for example, connection OK command) to the game control microcomputer (for example, a part for executing steps S7415 and S74208 in the payout control microcomputer 370), and the number of payouts Game medium for executing payout control for driving out the payout means and paying out a predetermined number of loaned game media based on the number specified by the payout number signal output by the signal output means or establishment of the payout condition by the loan request The payout control means (for example, the part in which the payout motor 289 is started by executing the process in step S75113 in the payout control microcomputer 370 and the payout motor control process in step S756 is executed) and the payout number signal are specified. The number of payouts exceeding the number or the specified number and payout number signals Cumulative update means (for example, step S7503 in the payout control microcomputer 370) that cumulatively updates data indicating the number to be sent or the shortage payout amount that has not reached the predetermined number (for example, the count value of the payout number abnormality counter). A portion for executing S75320, S75325, and S75335) and a predetermined value for executing a predetermined process when the data updated by the cumulative updating means becomes a specific value (for example, a predetermined payout number abnormality error determination value (for example, 2000)). Processing execution means (for example, a portion that controls the payout control microcomputer 370 so that the payout number error error designation bit is set in steps S7505, S75322, and S7726, and then N is determined in step S75101 and the payout operation is not performed). The response signal output means includes A response signal is output to the game control microcomputer in such a manner that the game control microcomputer can recognize the control state (for example, the payout control microcomputer 370 executes the processes of steps S7414 and S74207 to obtain the result shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the lower 4 bits of the connection OK command are set with a prize ball error, a full tank error, an out of ball error, and a payout number error error, and transmitted. With such a configuration, by using a serial communication method, it is possible to facilitate wiring between the game control microcomputer and the payout control microcomputer. In addition, a control state signal (a response signal to which a control state is added) can be output by adding a control state to a response signal periodically output by the payout control microcomputer based on the input of the connection confirmation signal. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the control state signal from being missed without considering the output timing of the control state signal, and to reliably perform communication between the game control microcomputer and the payout control microcomputer. it can. Furthermore, instead of determining each payout control, it is possible to comprehensively determine the payout control executed under an abnormal situation based on the cumulatively updated data and to execute a predetermined process . Therefore, it is possible to more accurately prevent the act of illegally paying out game media.
