By identifying occurrence frequency of a jackpot state in a past high-probability state for each count of pattern variation, a player is allowed to be easily predict whether a jackpot state may occur from now.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6

Description

  The present invention relates to a game information display device.

  There is a game information display device for displaying various game information for players in the game hall. For example, Patent Document 1 describes that the occurrence time of a jackpot state that has occurred in the past and the number of symbol variations are displayed.

JP 2015-37511 A

  Now, some players play games by predicting what the future game results will be from the history of jackpot states that have occurred in the past. In particular, in a high-probability state (special gaming state) in which the occurrence frequency of the jackpot state is high, the tendency to predict whether or not a jackpot state will occur may be high. However, the conventional game information display device does not assume such a player, and cannot sufficiently provide information on the history of the jackpot state that occurred in the past. Accordingly, there is still room for improvement in providing information regarding the occurrence history of the jackpot state to the player.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a game information display device that makes it easy for a player to specify the occurrence history of a jackpot state in a special game state. .

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the occurrence frequency display that allows the player to specify the occurrence frequency of the jackpot state in the special gaming state is performed for each special number of times, the occurrence of the jackpot state in the past special gaming state The frequency can be specified by special number of times. Thereby, it can be made easier for the player to predict whether or not a big hit state will occur in the future.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows the overall configuration of a game hall system. A large number of gaming machines 1 (corresponding to lottery means, symbol variation means, jackpot state generating means, special game state generating means) are installed in the game hall, and lending machines 2 are installed corresponding to each gaming machine 1. Has been. Two of these gaming machines 1, lending machines 2 and game information display devices 3 are connected to a relay device 4, and the relay devices 4 are connected to a management device 6 via a LAN 5. In addition, a POS and a balance adjusting machine (both not shown) are also installed in the game arcade, and these POS and balance adjusting machines are also connected to the management device 6 via the LAN 5. Although not shown in FIG. 1, for example, several hundred gaming machines 1 are actually managed by the management device 6.

  The management device 6 is installed in, for example, an office room in the game hall, and has a keyboard 7 (corresponding to operation means), a mouse 8 (corresponding to operation means), a monitor 9 and a printer operated by the game hall manager. (Not shown) etc. are connected. The management device 6 inputs game signals output from the gaming machine side (the gaming machine 1, the lending machine 2, etc.), thereby playing game data for each gaming machine 1, personal data for each registered member, gaming machine 1 manages the operating state of the lending machine 2 and the like.

  The gaming machine 1 is a CR (card reader) pachinko gaming machine, and has an operation handle 11 that constitutes a launching device that launches a ball (game medium) onto a board surface 10, an upper plate 12 and a lower plate 13 that can store the ball. At the same time, the board surface 10 includes a liquid crystal display unit 14, a universal winning port 15, a first starting port 16, a second starting port 17, and a big winning port 18. Moreover, the glass door 19 is provided in the front side of the board surface 10 so that opening is possible. The first starting port 16 is a winning port where the winning rate does not change (so-called navel winning port), and the second starting port 17 is a winning port where the winning rate changes (so-called electric Chu).

The configuration of the gaming machine 1 is as follows.
The normal winning probability is 1/30 in the normal state, and 1/1 in the short-time state and the probability variation state. The electric chew release time is 0.2 seconds in the normal state and 1.5 seconds × 3 times in the short time state (probability variation state). The normal fluctuation time is 30 seconds in the normal state and 1 second in the short time state. There are three payouts at the first start port 16 and the second start port 17, and 15 payouts at the big winning port 18. There are nine types of special drawings 1-9. The special figure winning probability is 1/400 in the normal state and the short-time state, and 1/100 in the probability variation state. The probability of change when winning a special figure is 100%. A single hit in the big hit state (difference ball) is about 1600 shots in the probable big hit state 16R, and 1R ends in 10 wins or 30 seconds. The short-time state after the normal big hit state is 100 times with electric support (a state where the opening frequency of the electric Chu is higher than normal). The probability variation state after the probability variation jackpot state is 150 rotations with electric support and a high probability state 150 rotations (the normal state is reached if the jackpot is not won by 150 rotations). A common special state signal is output during the short-time state and the probability variation state. The above numerical values are merely examples, and different numerical values and the like are adopted for the specifications such as the illustrated numerical values depending on the model.

  The gaming machine 1 and peripheral devices attached to the gaming machine 1 output the gaming signals shown below as the game progresses, such as ball driving by the player and starting winnings at the starting ports 16 and 17. .

  Out signal = a signal that can specify a consumption value (out) output from an out BOX that collects consumed balls. Since one pulse is output for 10 consumed (used, driven, and collected) balls, “the number of out signals × 10” is specified as out. A signal output from the gaming machine 1 may be used.

  Safe signal = a signal that can specify a prize-giving value (safe) output from the gaming machine 1. Since 1 pulse is output for 10 payout balls, “safe signal number × 10” is specified as safe.

  Start signal = a signal that can specify start processing (symbol variation, accessory operation, unit game) in the liquid crystal display unit 14 (combination) that changes (actuates) in response to a start prize (specific prize) output from the gaming machine 1 It is. Since it is output when the symbol variation is determined, the start process is specified in accordance with the input of the start signal, and “start signal × 1” is specified as the start number (start process number). A signal indicating a winning to the first start port 16 or the second start port 17 may be used.

  Jackpot signal = a signal that can specify the jackpot period output from the gaming machine 1. Since the status signal is level-output during the jackpot, the jackpot signal is identified as being jackpot.

  Special state signal = a signal that can specify a special state (Gunnaka) output from the gaming machine 1. Since the level signal is output during the special state in which the winning rate of the second start port 17 is improved, the special state signal being input is specified as being in the special state. Further, a period in which neither the jackpot signal nor the special state signal is input is specified as the normal state.

  The lending machine 2 is a lending machine with a so-called counting function for each car, and includes a status indicator 20 that indicates the gaming state of the gaming machine 1, a money insertion slot 21 into which money (a player's money value, valuable value) is inserted, A touch-panel LCD display 22 that accepts operation input from the player and displays game data such as the number of symbol changes (start count) and jackpot probability as the game progresses. A payout button 23 for paying out the acquired game value, valuable value, and, if a member, a stored ball), a payout nozzle 24 through which the payout ball passes, a general card (recording medium) and a member card (recording) A card insertion slot 25 into which the medium) is inserted, a detachable counting tray 26 positioned below the lower tray 13 of the gaming machine 1, and the like.

The lending machine 2 operates as shown below.
(1) When money is accepted (money acceptance processing), the deposit amount is added to the balance and displayed on both the gaming machine 1 and the lending machine 2, and the lending button (not shown) of the gaming machine 1 is displayed with the balance remaining. ) Is pressed (lending operation), a lending ball (contribution value) for 1 unit of loan (for example, 500 yen) is paid out from the gaming machine 1 (contribution processing), and the amount corresponding to the rate is subtracted from the balance. Drop (subtract). In addition, the money can accept the correspondence of the multiple times of the value giving process (for example, up to 10,000 yen).

  (2) When a ball dropped from the lower tray 13 of the gaming machine 1 is received by the counting tray 26, the received ball is counted and specified as a holding ball, and a payout using the holding ball as a price is also possible. When the payout button 23 is pressed (a replay operation and a giving operation of the ball), a ball for a unit of value (for example, 500 yen) is paid out from the payout nozzle 24 (a replay process of the ball, the acquired value is paid) As an award process for giving a game value to the player), and the value (the same number as the number of balls paid out) is withdrawn (subtracted) from the holding ball. The balls dispensed from the dispensing nozzle 24 are stored in the upper plate 12.

  (3) When a return button (not shown) of the gaming machine 1 is pressed (issuance operation) in a state where the balance or the ball remains, a general card that can identify the stock balance or ball is issued. (Issuing process for issuing a recording medium associated with an acquired value). In addition, it is possible to perform split issuance in which only a part of the holding ball or the balance is issued. In addition, when a general card is accepted, the balance and possession are taken over.

  (4) A membership card distributed to a player who has become a member of the amusement hall can also be accepted, and a possession ball and a balance can be associated with the membership card in the same manner as a general card. However, the balance information is written on the membership card in the same manner as the general card, but the possession ball is associated with the membership ID which is the membership card ID in the management device 6 without the possession information being written on the membership card. If the member ID is associated with the member ID, it is specified as a storage ball. That is, the acquired value associated with the member ID as the player's acquired value becomes a stored ball, and the unsupported acquired value becomes a ball. Savings and refunds can be made after the next day, including the same day, but holding balls can only be refunded or exchanged for the day, etc. There is a difference in nature.

  (5) In the management device 6 through serial communication with the relay device 4, the money acceptance processing and the consideration provision processing, the balance and the number of balls, the number of borrowed balls, the number of paid-out balls, the deposit amount, the number of counting balls, the number of borrowed balls and the loaned balls It is possible to specify the amount of sales that will be paid and various types of information such as general card acceptance and issuance processing, etc., but these are converted into pulse signals (for example, 1 pulse for every 1000 yen received, 1 pulse for every 100 yen sold, etc.) Can be specified. Note that such communication on the lending process may be directly performed between the gaming machine 1 and the lending machine 2 without using the relay device 4.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the game information display device 3 includes a segment display unit 27 disposed on the left side of the display area when viewed from the front, a start number display unit 28 disposed below the segment display unit 27, A liquid crystal display unit 29 (corresponding to display means) arranged on the right side of the display area when viewed from the front, a call button 30 for a player to call an employee, and an operation button 31 for a player to switch display LED 32 that performs illumination display.

  The segment display unit 27 includes a first display unit 33, a second display unit 34, and a third display unit 35. The first display unit 33 includes seven light emitting units 33 a to 33 g that are arranged apart from each other (separated so as to have a gap), and each of the first display units 33 is turned on and off by “0” to “ 9 "is displayed. In the illustration of FIG. 2, the first display unit 33 displays “0” by turning on the light emitting units 33 a to 33 c and 33 e to 33 g and turning off the light emitting unit 33 d. The same applies to the second display unit 34 and the third display unit 35, each having seven light emitting units, and displaying the numbers “0” to “9” by turning on and off each of them. With this configuration, the segment display unit 27 can display a three-digit number. The liquid crystal display unit 29 has a structure in which a large number of liquid crystals are regularly arranged two-dimensionally. That is, the liquid crystal display unit 29 has a higher degree of freedom of display content than the segment display unit 27 and can display various information other than numbers (information such as characters and bar graphs).

  As shown in FIG. 3, the game information display device 3 includes a control unit 36 (corresponding to a segment display unit control unit, a liquid crystal display unit control unit, a period specifying unit, and a display control unit) as shown in FIG. The control unit 36 includes a microcomputer having a CPU 36a, a ROM 36b, a RAM 36c (corresponding to storage means), an I / O 36d, and the like, and the game information display device 3 is based on a computer program stored in the ROM 36b. Control the behavior. The control unit 36 outputs the display control signal to the segment display unit 27 to execute the control of the segment display unit 27, and outputs the display control signal to the start number display unit 28, so that the start number display unit 28 By executing the control and outputting the display control signal to the liquid crystal display unit 29, the liquid crystal display unit 29 is controlled. In addition, the control unit 36 is connected to the relay device 4 via an I / F (transmission / reception unit) 37 that inputs and outputs signals, and receives game signals from the gaming machine 1 side and game information from the management device 6 side. Input via the relay device 4. The control unit 36 can specify whether the corresponding gaming machine 1 is operating or not operating based on, for example, an out signal from the corresponding gaming machine 1 to the I / F 37 or an input state of a safe signal. . In addition, the control unit 36 can specify the number of occurrences of the jackpot state by the input state of the jackpot signal from the corresponding gaming machine 1 to the I / F 37.

The game information display device 3 operates as follows.
(1) When the corresponding gaming machine 1 is in operation, the control unit 36 controls the liquid crystal display unit 29 so as to display game information such as a slump graph (for normal display). To do. A slump graph is a graph that shows changes in the appearance and difference balls in time series. Further, when the corresponding gaming machine 1 is not in operation, the control unit 36 displays the segment images simulating the segment display unit 27 side by side on the segment display unit 27 (in order to perform special display). ) The liquid crystal display unit 29 is controlled. In this case, since the number displayed on the segment display unit 27 is a three-digit number or less expressed by the seven light emitting units 33a to 33g, the segment image imitating the segment display unit 27 also has as if seven light emitting units. It is a number with a predetermined number of digits expressed (partially interrupted).

  (2) When displaying the segment image, the control unit 36 displays the game information on the liquid crystal display unit 29 separately from the segment display unit 27 (in order to perform the first special display). When the control is executed, and the game information of a plurality of digits is displayed by the number displayed on the segment display unit 27 and the number displayed on the segment image (to cause the second special display to be performed) In some cases, the liquid crystal display unit 29 is controlled. As an example in the case of performing the first special display, as shown in FIG. 4, when the segment display unit 27 displays the number of jackpots (36 times in FIG. 4), the liquid crystal display unit 29 displays the number of probability changes (in FIG. 4). 36 times) is displayed by the segment image. As an example in the case of performing the second special display, as shown in FIG. 5, when the segment display unit 27 displays the upper 3 digits of the possession (from the thousands to the 100,000, 123 in FIG. 5). The liquid crystal display unit 29 displays the lower 3 digits of the holding ball (from the first place to the hundredth place, 456 in FIG. 5). At this time, by attaching a comma between the three-digit “456” from the first place to the hundredth place and the three-digit “123” from the thousandth place to the 100,000th place, the liquid crystal display unit 29 is provided. The display is performed so that it is clear that “456” displayed by the segment image and “123” displayed on the segment display unit 27 express a meaningful number (that is, a possession ball). In addition, you may display without attaching a comma.

  (3) When switching from the first special display to the second special display, the control unit 36 maintains the position of the segment image being displayed. That is, when switching from the display shown in FIG. 4 to the display shown in FIG. 5, the number of jackpots, the number of jackpots, the jackpot breakdown, the past, The numerical value of the segment image is switched from “036” to “456” without changing the display content such as the maximum jackpot and a comma is added.

  (4) In the liquid crystal display unit 29, the control unit 36 sets the number of occurrences of jackpot state (occurrence frequency of the jackpot state) in the high probability state (corresponding to the special game state) to the number of symbol variations (corresponding to the special number of times). ) Display separately. The high probability state is a state that occurs on the condition that the probability variation jackpot state is won, and the occurrence frequency of the jackpot state increases, and is also referred to as an ST (Special Time) state. That is, the control unit 36 displays the number of occurrences of the jackpot state in the high probability state as an ST special prize number graph, thereby generating the occurrence frequency display that allows the player to specify the occurrence frequency of the jackpot state in the special gaming state for each special number of times. I do. Further, in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, 50% is a promising big hit state if it is a big win based on winning at the first starting port 16, and a big hit win based on winning at the second starting port 17 If there is, 100% is a probable big hit state.

  (5) The number of times that the high probability state continues is set in advance by the game hall manager by operating the keyboard 7 and mouse 8 of the management device 6 according to the gaming machine 1, and the control unit 36 If the gaming machine 1 (corresponding to the first end number) is 50 times or less (corresponding to the first end number), the number of symbol fluctuations is 5 times (corresponding to the first division number). The number of jackpot occurrences (corresponding to the first occurrence frequency information) for each symbol variation number in the high probability state is displayed. That is, if the special gaming state corresponds to the first gaming machine that ends when the symbol variation of the first end number is executed, the control unit 36 divides the special number for each first division number. The first occurrence frequency display for displaying the occurrence frequency of the jackpot state in the special gaming state for each section is performed. On the other hand, if the control unit 36 is a gaming machine 1 (corresponding to the second gaming machine) having a high probability state of continuation times 51 or more (corresponding to the second finishing number), the number of symbol fluctuations is 10 times. The number of jackpot occurrences (corresponding to the second occurrence frequency information) for each symbol variation number in the high probability state is displayed by dividing (corresponding to the second division number). That is, if the special gaming state corresponds to the second gaming machine that ends when the symbol variation of the second end number is executed, the control unit 36 divides the special number for each second division number. Then, the second occurrence frequency display for displaying the occurrence frequency of the jackpot state in the special game state for each section is performed.

  This will be specifically described below. 6 to 12 described later specifically show the liquid crystal display unit 29. When the corresponding gaming machine 1 is in the base, the control unit 36 displays the ST special prize number graph in the data display area 29a as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, and the corresponding gaming machine 1 is under certain probability. In some cases, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, the ST special prize number graph is displayed in the bar graph display area 29b. 6 and 7 correspond to the case of the gaming machine 1 in which the number of times of continuing the high probability state is 50 times or less, and the number of symbol fluctuations on the horizontal axis is divided every 5 times (1 to 5, 6). -10, 11-15,..., 46-50) The number of jackpot occurrences by number of symbol variations in the high probability state is displayed for 10 sections. 8 and 9 correspond to the case of the gaming machine 1 in which the number of high probability state continuations is 51 or more, and the number of symbol fluctuations on the horizontal axis is divided every 10 times (1 to 10, 11). ˜20, 21˜30,..., 91˜100) The number of jackpot occurrences by the number of symbol variations in the high probability state is displayed for 10 sections. In the case of the gaming machine 1 in which the high probability state continuation number is 51 or more, the control unit 36 slides and displays the high probability state continuation number every 50 times. That is, the control unit 36 displays a graph for the number of special prizes during ST up to 50 when the number of high probability state continuations is up to 50. When the number of high probability state continuations reaches 51, the number of special prizes during ST after 51 times is displayed. Display the graph (slide in). Further, the control unit 36 sets “−” as the number of times after the set number of times. For example, when the number of high probability states is 160 times in a graph that can be displayed up to 200 times, the number of times after 161 times is displayed. “−”.

  The control unit 36 displays the number of occurrences of the jackpot state in the high probability state on the vertical axis, and makes variable display according to the number of occurrences. In the initial state, the upper limit value is set to 20 times, the upper limit value is changed as the maximum jackpot number increases in the section, and the upper limit value is changed when the maximum jackpot number in the section reaches the upper limit value. That is, every time the maximum jackpot number in the section reaches the upper limit value, the control unit 36 increases the upper limit value 20 times, 50 times, 100 times, 200 times, 300 times (hereinafter added 100 times), and 9900 times. Change as the maximum display.

  (6) The game information display device 3 determines whether to divide every 5 or 10 times based on the operation of the manager of the game hall. In addition, the control unit 36 can respond to any display at every 5 or 10 times, regardless of the type of the gaming machine 1, if the number of times of the high probability state is 50 times or less, the symbol variation The number of occurrences of jackpot state is internally counted and stored in the RAM 36c and is stored in the RAM 36c. If the number of high-probability states continues to be 51 times or more, the number of symbol variations is incremented every 10 times. The number of occurrences of the big hit state is tabulated internally and stored in the RAM 36c. That is, if the special number is equal to or less than the first end number, the RAM 36c stores information on the occurrence frequency of the jackpot state for each special number divided by the first division number, while the special number exceeds the first end number. If so, information on the occurrence frequency of the jackpot state is stored for each special number divided by the second division number. Then, the control unit 36 controls whether to display the number of occurrences of the jackpot state by dividing the number of symbol fluctuations by 5 or 10 based on the number of times of the high probability state stored in the RAM 36c. That is, the control unit 36 performs control for performing the first occurrence frequency display or the second occurrence frequency display based on the information on the occurrence frequency of the jackpot state.

  (7) The control unit 36 can display game information shown below as game information other than those described above. As shown in FIG. 10, the control unit 36 displays the number of occurrences of the jackpot state for 4 weeks (for 29 days including today) as a period special award graph from today. If the gaming machine 1 is a pachislot or slot machine, BB (Big Bonus), RB (Regular Bonus), ART, the total number of occurrences thereof, and the like may be displayed as a period special award graph. Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the control unit 36 displays the number of jackpots, the number of first chances of probability change, and the total number of times of probability change as 7-day data from 6 days before today (for 7 days including today). . Also in this case, if the gaming machine 1 is a pachislot machine or a slot machine, BB, RB, ART, the total number of occurrences thereof, and the like may be displayed as data for 7 days. Further, as shown in FIG. 12, the control unit 36 displays the ranking in the corresponding gaming machine 1 as the acquisition number ranking. The ranking item is the number of balls to be played, the number of continuations, and the number of jackpots. If the ranking item is the number of balls in the ranking, for example, the current number of balls is 500 or more and the ranking has changed. If the ranking item is the continuation count or jackpot count, the continuation count or jackpot count is 2 or more and the ranking has changed.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
In the game information display device 3, since the occurrence frequency display is performed so that the player can specify the occurrence frequency of the jackpot state in the high probability state according to the number of symbol variations, the occurrence of the jackpot state in the past high probability state The frequency can be specified according to the number of symbol variations. Thereby, it can be made easier for the player to predict whether or not a big hit state will occur in the future.

  In addition, since the number of symbol fluctuations is changed by the gaming machine 1, the number of times of the high probability state is relatively small in the gaming machine 1 in which the number of times of the high probability state is relatively short, and the number of times of the high probability state is compared. It is possible to suppress an excessive increase in the number of sections in the long game machine 1. Thereby, the effect which makes it easy for a player to predict whether a big hit state will generate | occur | produce can be heightened.

  Further, by operating the keyboard 7 or the mouse 8, the display of the number of jackpot occurrences by the number of symbol fluctuations in the gaming machine 1 in which the number of times of continuing the high probability state is relatively short, and the number of times of continuing the high probability state are relatively Since it is determined whether to display the number of jackpot occurrences for each number of symbol fluctuations in the long gaming machine 1, it is possible to simplify the display content setting operation.

  Further, if the number of high probability state continuations is 50 or less, the number of symbol fluctuations is divided every five times, and the number of occurrences of jackpot states is internally counted and stored in the RAM 36c. Is 51 times or more, the number of symbol fluctuations is divided every 10 times, and the number of occurrences of jackpot states is internally tabulated and stored in the RAM 36c, so the number of high probability state continuations is 50 times or less. It is not necessary to change the method for storing the number of occurrences of the jackpot state between the case where the game machine 1 corresponds to the game machine 1 and the case where the game machine 1 corresponds to the gaming machine 1 having the high probability state of 51 times or more.

  Further, the game information is displayed by a segment image which is an image simulating the segment display unit 27, and the liquid crystal display unit 29 is controlled so as to perform a normal display in which the game information is displayed by an image different from the segment image. Therefore, since the segment display unit 27 is also provided while ensuring the degree of freedom of display contents, the segment display unit 27 and the segment image are distinguished and recognized by players who prefer the segment display unit 27. can do. Furthermore, since the segment images are displayed side by side on the segment display unit 27, game information can be provided by segment display to a player who does not distinguish the segment display unit 27 from the segment images. Thereby, game information can be favorably displayed with respect to various players.

  In general, the segment display unit 27 has a low degree of freedom in display contents, and it is difficult to change the number of digits to be displayed. However, the segment display unit 27 displays game information separately from the segment display unit 27 and the segment display unit 27. Since the control of the liquid crystal display unit 29 is executed so that a plurality of digits of game information are displayed with the numbers displayed by the segment image and the numbers displayed by the segment image, the segment display unit 27 and the liquid crystal display are displayed. By combining with the segment image of the section 29, the number of digits to be displayed can be easily changed. That is, only three digits can be displayed on the segment display unit 27. However, by arbitrarily selecting the number of digits to be displayed on the segment image, the segment display unit 27 and the segment image can arbitrarily display three or more digits. The number of digits can be displayed. As a result, the degree of freedom of game information displayed by the segment display unit 27 can be increased.

  In addition, since the position of the region displaying the segment image is maintained when switching the display, it is possible to suppress the possibility that the player will feel uncomfortable when switching the display.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be modified or expanded as follows. Note that the modifications listed below may be combined as appropriate.
In the present embodiment, a pachinko gaming machine is exemplified as the gaming machine 1, but it may be applied to a gaming machine different from the pachinko gaming machine. For example, the game proceeds by consuming credits without using medals, and the bonus game. Can be applied to a fully credited slot machine in which a ball is generated, or a sealed pachinko gaming machine in which a ball is enclosed and the ball is consumed by consuming a score (game value). In the case of a slot machine, a configuration in which a player's lever operation corresponds to a lottery condition is considered. A configuration in which a bonus game is generated as a big hit state according to a symbol that has been rotated and stopped as a symbol variation is conceivable.

  In the present embodiment, the configuration corresponding to the gaming machine 1 in which the special gaming state is generated on the condition that the probability variation jackpot state is won is exemplified, but the generation condition of the special gaming state may be arbitrarily changed. For example, a configuration corresponding to the gaming machine 1 that performs a lottery to determine whether or not to generate a special game state separately from the lottery in the jackpot state may be adopted.

  In the present embodiment, the configuration in which the high probability state and the electric support (short-time state) correspond as the special gaming state is exemplified, but the special gaming state may be arbitrarily changed. For example, a state in which one of the high probability state and the short time state is generated can be set as the special game state. That is, the special gaming state may be a gaming state in which a lottery condition for executing a lottery in a jackpot state that is advantageous to the player is easily established, or in which a lottery in a jackpot state is easily won.

  In the present embodiment, the number of times of symbol variation is divided into predetermined ranges and the number of times that the jackpot state is generated is displayed for each number of symbol variations. However, the jackpot state has occurred, not the number of times that the jackpot state has occurred. It may be configured to display the ratio of occurrence of the jackpot state within the range of the number of symbol fluctuations in the whole, or out of the number of times of the divided symbol fluctuations, the jackpot within the number of symbol fluctuations divided You may make it the structure which displays the frequency | count and ratio which a state generate | occur | produced.

  In this embodiment, when corresponding to a gaming machine having a high probability state count of 50 times or less, the display is divided every 5 times, and when corresponding to a gaming machine having a high probability state count of 51 times or more, it is 10 times. However, the number of symbol fluctuations to be divided may be arbitrarily changed. For example, in the case of a gaming machine having a number of times of 50 or less until the high probability state ends, every 10 times. In the case of a gaming machine in which the number of times until completion is 51 or more, it may be configured to be displayed every 20 times. That is, the first division number and the second division number may be arbitrarily changed.

  In addition, the configuration in which the number of symbol variations to be divided is different depending on whether the number of high probability states is 50 times or less or 51 times or more, for example, whether the number of high probability states is 100 times or less, It may be divided according to whether it is 101 times or more (whether it ends after 101 times). That is, the first end number and the second end number may be arbitrarily changed. Further, the number of symbol fluctuations to be uniformly divided may be determined without distinguishing between the first end number and the second end number. In addition, the number of times until the high probability state ends differs depending on the gaming machine, and the number of symbol fluctuations until the special gaming state ends can correspond to any number of times. In addition, the number of symbol fluctuations in which the high probability state occurs is divided into 5 or 10 times until the maximum number of times the high probability state continues. May be separated by a predetermined number of times.

  In the present embodiment, the configuration in which the game information display device 3 counts and stores the number of symbol fluctuations in which the big hit state has occurred is exemplified, but the management device 6 and the relay device 4 may count and store the number. That is, the configuration for storing the occurrence frequency information may be provided outside the game information display device 3 instead of inside. In addition, the storage method in the case of totalization may be arbitrarily changed, and the number of symbol fluctuations in which the big hit state has occurred may be classified and stored for each time.

  In the present embodiment, each of the display units 33 to 35 of the segment display unit 27 is configured to include seven light emitting units, and the configuration of 7 segments divided at 7 locations is illustrated, but the number of divisions may be changed. Moreover, although the segment display unit 27 is configured to display numbers, it may be configured to display characters other than numbers such as hiragana and kanji.

  In the present embodiment, the segment image displayed by the liquid crystal display unit 29 is exemplified by a configuration having the same size and arrangement as the segment display unit 27, but a part of the size and arrangement may be different. That is, the segment image corresponds to the segment image corresponding to the segment display unit 27 if some of the numbers and characters are interrupted when displaying numbers and characters.

  In the present embodiment, the configuration in which the segment display unit 27 and the segment image are arranged side by side is illustrated, but the segment display unit 27 and the segment image may be arranged in the vertical direction. The arrangement may be arbitrarily changed.

  In the present embodiment, the segment display unit 27 and the segment image have been illustrated with a configuration that can display three-digit numbers, but the number of digits that can be displayed may be changed. In this case, the segment display unit 27 and the segment image need not have the same number of displayable digits, the segment display unit 27 can display a three-digit number, and the segment image can have a number of digits other than three digits. Display may be possible.

  In the present embodiment, the gaming machine 1 in which the high probability state continues 150 times is illustrated, but the high probability state that ends when the symbol variation is digested 50 times without generating a jackpot state, or when it is digested 100 times You may make it finish. That is, there may be provided a plurality of patterns of the number of symbol fluctuations at which the high probability state ends when digested.

  The game information to be displayed may be arbitrarily changed. For example, the segment display unit 27 may display the number of symbol variations, and the segment image may display the number of jackpots.

It should be noted that the following features can be extracted from the embodiment exemplified above.
