Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine.

  The slot machine is a control for the production accompanying the game based on the main control device (main board) that executes the central control of the game such as reel drive control and the command transmitted from the main control device. And a sub-control device (sub-board) for performing

  In the main control device, a lottery relating to a combination of symbols displayed when the reels are stopped is performed in response to the operation of the start lever. The result of the lottery determines whether or not to shift to a game state advantageous to the player. In addition, the lottery result is transmitted from the main control device to the sub control device, and the sub control device determines the contents of the effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display. Therefore, at the time when the effect image is displayed on the liquid crystal display, it is already determined whether or not to enter an advantageous game state. Therefore, even if an effect image with high expectation for the transition to an advantageous game state is displayed on the liquid crystal display, a so-called race feeling may be given to the player.

  In order to dispel the feeling of completion of the race, for example, after the execution of the bonus game (bonus winning) is confirmed and before the start lever is operated, the liquid crystal display corresponds to the left reel, the middle reel and the right reel, respectively. When “WIN” or “Zanen” is displayed in the left area, middle area, and right area, and the reel corresponding to “WIN” is started for the first time in response to the operation of the start lever, the game state ( A slot machine that transitions to an ART state is provided.

  From the viewpoint of preventing fraud, there is a limit to signal input to the main control device, and signal input from the sub control device to the main control device is prohibited. In view of this, in the slot machine described above, the main control unit determines that the game state is advantageous to the player before “WIN” or “Zanen” is displayed in the left, middle, and right regions of the liquid crystal display. It is considered that it is determined whether or not “WIN” or “Zanen” is displayed in each of these areas. Therefore, even with the above-described slot machine, a feeling of race is given to the player.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a slot machine capable of realizing an effect that does not give a player a feeling of racing.

  The present invention will be described below. In order to facilitate understanding of the invention, reference numerals and the like in the accompanying drawings are appended in parentheses, but the present invention is not limited to the display form.

  In order to achieve the above object, a slot machine (1) according to the present invention includes a starting operation member (15), a plurality of reels (4L, 4C, 4R) having a plurality of symbols arranged on a peripheral surface, a reel (4L, 4C, 4R) each provided with a stop operation member (16L, 16C, 16R) provided in correspondence with an effect indicator (19) for displaying an effect image of the start operation member (15). A single game is started by the operation, and the rotation of the reels (4L, 4C, 4R) is started by the operation, and the operation is performed in response to the operation of the stop operation member (16L, 16C, 16R). The reels (4L, 4C, 4R) corresponding to the stop operation members (16L, 16C, 16R) are stopped, and after the start operation member (15) is operated, the stop operation members (16L, 16C, 16R) are operated. Until enabled In a slot machine that may execute a reel effect in which the reels (4L, 4C, 4R) are started to rotate in a mode different from normal during the stop operation invalid period, the contents of the effect image related to the mode of the reel effect are determined. Content determining means (31), display control means (32) for displaying an effect image based on the content determined by the content determining means (31) on the effect display (19), and effect image by the display control means (32) Is displayed on the effect indicator (19), and the mode of the reel effect is determined based on the result of the internal lottery for a plurality of combinations executed in response to the operation of the start operation member (15). Then, based on the determined mode, the rotation control means (31) for controlling the rotation of the reels (4L, 4C, 4R) and the mode of the reel effect by the control of the rotation control means (31) are effect display. Parameter updating means (31) for updating parameters relating to whether or not to shift to a special game state advantageous to the player based on whether or not the contents of the effect image displayed in (19) match. Based on the parameters updated by the parameter updating means (31), the contents determining means (31), the display control means (32), the rotation control means (31) and the parameter updating means (31) are continuously repeated. When it is determined by the continuation determining means (31) whether to repeat the processing by the continuation determining means (31) or not, based on the parameters updated by the parameter updating means (31), And transition determining means (31) for determining whether or not to shift to the special game state.

  According to this structure, the content of the effect image relevant to the aspect of a reel effect is determined, and the effect image based on the determined content is displayed on an effect display (19). Thereafter, when the start operation member (15) is operated, an internal lottery for a plurality of winning combinations is executed. Based on the result of the internal lottery, the mode of the reel effect is determined, and the rotation of the reels (4L, 4C, 4R) is controlled based on the determined mode. Then, based on whether or not the reel effect mode matches the content of the effect image displayed on the effect indicator (19), a parameter for determining whether or not to shift to a special game state advantageous to the player is set. Based on the updated parameters, the effect image display and reel effect (content determination means (31), display control means (32), rotation control means (31), parameter update means (31) processing) Whether or not to continue the production) is determined. In addition, when it is determined not to continue the display of the effect image and the reel effect, it is determined whether to shift to the special game state based on the parameter.

  The mode of the reel effect is determined based on the internal lottery, and the effect image is already displayed on the effect indicator (19) before the execution of the internal lottery, so the effect image is displayed and the reels (4L, 4C, 4R). The production by rotating is not a so-called race. Therefore, at least during the period from the display of the effect image to the start of rotation of the reels (4L, 4C, 4R), it is possible to give the player a feeling of excitement due to the expectation of the aspect of the reel effect without giving a feeling of completion.

  Further, whether or not to shift to the special game state is not immediately determined depending on whether or not the reel effect mode matches the content of the effect image, but after the parameter update is repeated, based on the parameter. Thus, it is determined whether or not to enter the special game state. Therefore, it is possible to continue to give the player a thrilling feeling until it is determined whether or not to shift to the special game state from the display of the effect image and the start of the reel effect.

  The lottery target of the internal lottery includes a push forward that becomes a prize when the stop operation member (16L, 16C, 16R) is operated in a predetermined correct answer operation order, and the push forward is won in the internal lottery In this case, in the reel production, the reels (4L, 4C, 4R) corresponding to the first operation in the correct operation order of the push order may be rotated in a different manner from the other reels (4L, 4C, 4R). preferable.

  Accordingly, when the reel that rotates in a manner different from that of the other reels is stopped for the first time, the push order wins a prize, and therefore, the relationship between the push order and the rotation mode of the reels (4L, 4C, 4R) is determined by the player. Can be recognized. As a result, it is possible to cause the player to recognize that the effect image is displayed and the effect produced by the rotation of the reels (4L, 4C, 4R) is not a race, and it is possible to reliably prevent the player from feeling a good race. it can.

  When the first and second parameters are prepared and the reel effect mode matches the content of the effect image displayed on the effect indicator (19), the first parameter is updated, and the reel effect mode. Is not consistent with the content of the effect image displayed on the effect display (19), the second parameter may be updated.

  Further, when the first parameter or the second parameter reaches a predetermined value, it is determined not to continue the display of the effect image and the reel effect, and based on the first parameter or the second parameter that has reached the predetermined value. Whether or not to shift to the special game state may be determined.

  Thereby, the player can be interested in updating the first parameter and the second parameter. As a result, it is possible to increase the interest by displaying the effect image and reel effect.

  Each time a parameter is updated, the update amount of the parameter may be determined.

  In this case, since the parameter update amount changes variously, the player can be more interested in the parameter update. As a result, it is possible to further increase the interest of the effect by displaying the effect image and rotating the reels (4L, 4C, 4R).

  The slot machine includes a main control device (31) and a sub control device (32). The main control device (31) and the sub control device (32) are connected to the sub control device (32) from the main control device (31). The main control unit (31) is connected to the content determination unit (31), the rotation control unit (31), the parameter update unit (31), and the continuation determination unit (31). The sub-control device (32) preferably executes the processing by the display control means (32).

  When the update amount determining means (31) is included, it is preferable that the main control device (31) further executes processing by the update amount determining means (31).

  Since the main control device (31) can manage the contents of the effect image displayed on the effect display (19), the main control device (31) controls the rotation of the reels (4L, 4C, 4R) and the sub-control device ( It is possible to satisfactorily synchronize the display of the effect image according to 32).

  According to the present invention, it is possible to realize an effect that does not give a player a feeling of racing.

  On the left and right sides of the medal outlet 17, speakers 22 that output sound effects and the like are arranged together with the speakers 20.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the slot machine 1.

  The slot machine 1 includes a main control device (main board) 31 that controls the central operation of the game, and a sub control device (sub board) 32 that performs control for effects associated with the game.

  The main control device 31 includes a CPU 41, a ROM 42, a RAM 43, an input port 44, and an output port 45.

  The CPU 41 is connected to the ROM 42, RAM 43, input port 44 and output port 45. The CPU 41 controls various control objects connected to the output port 45 based on various signals input from the input port 44 according to a control program stored in the ROM 42. At this time, the RAM 43 is used as a work area.

  Connected to the input port 44 are a MAX bet button 12, a single bet button 13, a start lever 15, a left stop button 16L, a middle stop button 16C, and a right stop button 16R. When the MAX bet button 12, the single bet button 13, the start lever 15, the left stop button 16L, the middle stop button 16C and the right stop button 16R are operated, an operation signal is sent from a switch (not shown) incorporated therein. The operation signal is input to the CPU 41 via the input port 44.

  The input port 44 is connected to reel position detection sensors 51L, 51C, 51R, a medal insertion sensor 52, and a medal payout sensor 53. Each time the left reel 4L, the middle reel 4C, and the right reel 4R make one rotation, detection signals are output from the reel position detection sensors 51L, 51C, and 51R, and the detection signals are input to the CPU 41 through the input port 44. . Each time one medal inserted from the medal slot 11 is discharged to the medal storage unit (not shown), a detection signal is output from the medal insertion sensor 52, and the detection signal is sent to the CPU 41 via the input port 44. Entered. Each time one sheet is paid out from the medal storage unit to the medal tray 18, a detection signal is output from the medal payout sensor 53, and the detection signal is input to the CPU 41 via the input port 44.

  Stepping motors 55L, 55C, and 55R for rotating the left reel 4L, the middle reel 4C, and the right reel 4R are connected to the output port 45 through a driver (drive circuit) 54 as a control target of the CPU 41. Yes.

  In addition, a game basic lamp 59 for displaying basic information about a game (game) and a medal slot 11 are inserted into the output port 45 through the drivers 56, 57, and 58 as a control target of the CPU 41. A medal blocker 60 for switching the discharge destination of the medals to a medal storage unit (not shown) in the main body 2 and the medal tray 18 and a medal payout device 61 for paying out medals from the medal storage unit to the medal tray 18 are connected. Has been.

  The game basic lamps 55 include a credit number display for displaying the number of credits and a payout number display for displaying the number of paid out medals (number of payouts). The CPU 41 counts the number of medals (credits) deposited in the slot machine 1 using a counter provided in the RAM 43 based on detection signals of the medal insertion sensor 52 and the medal payout sensor 53. . Then, the CPU 41 displays the credit number on the credit number display. Further, the CPU 41 controls the medal blocker 60 and stores the medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 11 and medals to be paid out as a payout described later in the medal storage unit until the number of credits reaches 50. When the number reaches 50, medals inserted from the medal slot 11 and medals paid out as a payout are discharged to the medal tray 18.

  When the start lever 15 is operated, the CPU 41 executes an internal lottery (role lottery). Specifically, the CPU 41 acquires a random number value from a random number generation circuit (not shown) at the timing when the start lever 15 is operated. The random number generation circuit includes an increment counter that counts up in response to an output of a clock pulse from the oscillator. On the other hand, the CPU 41 refers to a lottery table stored in the ROM 42. In the lottery table, a range of random numbers (for example, 0 to 65535) generated by the random number generation circuit is divided into a plurality of lottery sections, and one or more roles are associated with each lottery section. CPU41 acquires the random number which a random number generation circuit produces | generates, and determines the combination matched with the lottery division to which the acquired random number belongs as a winning combination. When the random number acquired from the random number generation circuit does not belong to any lottery category, the CPU 41 determines that the result of the internal lottery is incorrect.

  Thereafter, the CPU 41 inputs drive pulse signals to the stepping motors 55L, 55C, and 55R, and starts rotation of the left reel 4L, the middle reel 4C, and the right reel 4R. The CPU 41 always knows the rotational positions of the left reel 4L, the middle reel 4C, and the right reel 4R based on the number of steps of the stepping motors 55L, 55C, 55R and the detection signals of the reel position detection sensors 51L, 51C, 51R. .

  When the rotation speeds of the left reel 4L, middle reel 4C, and right reel 4R become constant, the CPU 41 can accept operation signals from the left stop button 16L, middle stop button 16C, and right stop button 16R.

  When the left stop button 16L, the middle stop button 16C, and the right stop button 16R are sequentially operated one by one, the CPU 41 determines the timing at which the left stop button 16L, the middle stop button 16C, and the right stop button 16R are operated and the internal lottery. Based on the result, reel stop control is executed.

  In the reel stop control, the left stop button 16L, the middle stop button 16C, and the right stop button 16R are pushed in order, and then the left reel 4L, the middle reel 4C, and the right reel 4R are respectively loaded with a predetermined maximum number of frames (for example, 4 Frame) After rotating within the following range, the rotation can be stopped.

  When all the rotations of the left reel 4L, the middle reel 4C, and the right reel 4R are stopped, the CPU 41 determines whether or not a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is arranged on a winning line L1 described later. Then, if the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is arranged on the winning line L1, the CPU 41 determines that the winning combination is winning. For convenience, even when a combination other than a small combination such as a replay combination is won, the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination stops on the winning line L1 is expressed as “winning”.

  The main control device 31 is provided with a data transmission circuit 46. The CPU 41 transmits necessary data to the sub control device 32 via the data transmission circuit 46. This data (signal) includes a bet signal indicating that the game start condition is satisfied, a start lever signal indicating that the start lever 15 has been operated, and an effect command indicating the content of the effect using the liquid crystal display 19 or the like. The left stop signal indicating that the left stop button 16L has been operated, the middle stop signal indicating that the middle stop button 16C has been operated, the right stop signal indicating that the right stop button 16R has been operated, and the internal lottery winning The winning combination data that is information on the combination is included.

  The sub control device 32 includes a CPU 71, a ROM 72, a RAM 73, an input port 74, an output port 75, and a data receiving circuit 76.

  The CPU 71 is connected to the ROM 72, RAM 73, input port 74 and output port 75.

  A data receiving circuit 76 is connected to the input port 74. Data transmitted from the data transmission circuit 46 of the main controller 31 is received by the data reception circuit 76 and input to the CPU 71 via the input port 74.

  The chance button 14 is connected to the input port 74. When the chance button 14 is operated, an operation signal is output from a switch (not shown) incorporated therein, and the operation signal is input to the CPU 71 via the input port 74.

  The output port 75 is connected to the liquid crystal display 19 and effect lamps 79 arranged around it through drivers 77 and 78 as control objects of the CPU 71, respectively. In addition, speakers 20 and 22 are connected to the output port 75 via a driver 80 as a control target of the CPU 71.

  The CPU 71 performs display of the liquid crystal display 19, lighting / extinguishing of the effect lamps 79 and sound effects from the speakers 20 and 22 based on various signals input from the input port 74 in accordance with a control program stored in the ROM 72. Control the output. At this time, the RAM 73 is used as a work area.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an arrangement of symbols drawn on each peripheral surface (reel band) of the left reel 4L, the middle reel 4C, and the right reel 4R.

  On the peripheral surface of the left reel 4L, "Mark 1", "Rip 2", "Bell", "Watermelon", "Mark 2", "Lip 2", "Bell", "Watermelon", "Cherry", " "Bar", "Lip 1", "Bell", "Watermelon", "Mark 2", "Lip 1", "Bell", "Watermelon", "Nana", "Nana 2", "Lip 2" and "Bell Are arranged in this order.

  On the peripheral surface of the middle reel 4C, “bell”, “cherry”, “lip 2”, “mark 1”, “bell”, “lip 2”, “mark 1”, “bell”, “bar”, “ “Watermelon”, “Lip 1”, “Mark 2”, “Bell”, “Cherry”, “Lip 1”, “Mark 2”, “Bell”, “Nana”, “Watermelon”, “Lip 2” and “Mark” The symbols “1” are arranged in this order.

  On the peripheral surface of the right reel 4R, “mark 1”, “bell”, “lip 2”, “watermelon”, “mark 1”, “bell”, “lip 2”, “watermelon”, “bar”, “ “Mark 2”, “Bell”, “Rip 2”, “Watermelon”, “Mark 2”, “Bell”, “Lip 2”, “Nana 2”, “Nana”, “Mark 1”, “Bell” and “ The symbols “Lip 1” are arranged in this order.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the symbol stop positions PL1, PL2, PL3, PC1, PC2, PC3, PR1, PR2, PR3 and the winning line L1.

  When the left reel 4L stops, one symbol stops at each of the symbol stop positions PL1, PL2, PL3 arranged vertically in the reel window 8.

  When the middle reel 4C stops, one symbol stops at each of the symbol stop positions PC1, PC2 and PC3 arranged vertically in the reel window 8.

  When the right reel 4R stops, one symbol stops at each of the symbol stop positions PR1, PR2, PR3 arranged vertically in the reel window 8.

  The slot machine 1 is a so-called middle one-line machine, and a line L1 passing through three symbol stop positions PL2, PC2, PR2 aligned in a horizontal row in the middle stage in the reel window 8 by a bet of three medals is a winning line. As valid.

  When a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery is arranged on the winning line L1, the winning combination is won. The lottery target of the internal lottery includes, for example, a bell role, a watermelon role, a cherry role, and a replay (replay) role.

  One of the bell roles is associated with the symbol combination “Lip 1-Bell-Lip 1”. When the bell combination is determined as a winning combination in the internal lottery, the symbol combination “Lip 1-Bell-Lip 1” is allowed to stop on the winning line L1. When the symbol combination “Lip 1-Bell-Lip 1” stops on the winning line L1, the Bell combination is won and a predetermined number of medals are paid out as a payout. At this time, the “bell” symbol stops at the symbol stop positions PL1, PC2, and PR3 shown in FIG. 4, and “Bell-Bell-Bell” appears on the straight line that descends to the right through the symbol stop positions PL1, PC2, and PR3.
