That is, after the game machine is turned on and initialized (not shown), in step 1002, the main control board 1000 confirms the input port of the RAM clear button and resets the power supply unit reset button (RAM clear button). ) Has been operated, that is, whether or not an operation for clearing the contents of the RAM has been intentionally performed by a game hall manager or the like. In the case of Yes in Step 1002, in Step 1008, the main control board 1000 clears all the RAM contents (for example, information in the game state temporary storage means 2100) on the main control board 1000 side. Next, in step 1010, the information transmission unit 1102 transmits ram clear information (command) indicating that the RAM of the main control board 1000 has been cleared to the sub control board 3000 side (may be transmitted at this timing). At this timing, a command may be set and transmitted by a control command transmission process described later), and the process proceeds to step 1016. On the other hand, if No in step 1002, the main control board 1000 checks the contents of the RAM area in the main control board 1000 in step 1004 (for example, the checksum and the RAM area recorded at the time of power interruption are stored in the RAM area). Comparison with the amount of information). Next, in step 1006, the main control board 1000 determines whether or not the contents of the RAM are not normal based on the check result (whether or not the information at the time of power failure has been backed up to the RAM correctly). If YES in step 1006, that is, if the data backed up in the RAM is abnormal, the process proceeds to step 1008 (RAM clear process described above). On the other hand, if step 1006 is No, that is, if the data backed up in the RAM is normal, the main control board 1000 is stored (backed up) in the RAM of the main control board 1000 in step 1012. The information command is acquired, and in step 1014, the acquired various information commands are transmitted to the sub-control board 3000 side (the command may be transmitted at the timing, or the command is set at the timing and the control command transmission described later is performed. The process may be configured to be transmitted in the process), and the process proceeds to step 1016. Next, in step 1016, the main control board 1000 is triggered by a hardware interrupt (for example, about every 1.5 ms) related to the main process on the main control board 1000 side shown in FIG.

The main control board 1000 executes the process shown in FIG. 5B based on the interrupt request generated when the scheduled interrupt timing is reached. In other words, triggered by the arrival of the scheduled interrupt period T (for example, a hardware interrupt about every 1.5 ms), in step 2002, the main control board M outputs an external signal (external terminal board, hall computer, etc.). Information output). Next, in step 2004, the main control board 1000 updates the random number. Next, in step 2006, the main control board 1000 executes a control command transmission process (transmits the command set in each process described above to the sub-control board side). Next, in step 2008, the main control board 1000 executes the on-error control process and returns to the process executed immediately before the execution of this interrupt process.

  Next, NMI interrupt processing will be described. The main control board 1000 is configured such that the power interruption signal from the reset IC is input to the NMI terminal of the CPU, and the process of FIG. That is, when the gaming machine is powered off (NMI interrupt in this example), in step 2052, the main control board M sets power interruption information (for example, checksum) based on the information in the RAM area. Next, in step 2054, the main control board M prohibits writing to the RAM area, prohibits timer interrupt processing, and shifts to power-off waiting loop processing.

  Next, FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the medal management process according to the subroutine of step 3100 in FIG. First, in step 3102, the medal management means 1200 refers to the medal information temporary storage means 1201 and the flag temporary storage means 2101, and the bet counter (the number of medals necessary for playing one game in the sparrow ball game machine is bet). The counter value of the counter for measuring whether or not it is being played is “3”, and the counter value of the CRE counter (counter for measuring the number of medals stored electronically in the gaming machine) is “50”. It is determined whether or not. Note that it may be configured to be Yes in step 3102 when the game is currently being played. In the case of Yes in step 3102, in step 3104, the medal management means 1200 is configured to be able to switch between a medal blocker (not shown, but can be switched between a state where medals can be inserted and a state where it cannot be inserted). Is driven to the medal insertion impossible state, and the process proceeds to Step 3108. On the other hand, if No in step 3102, in step 3106, the medal management unit 1200 drives the medal blocker to a state where a medal can be inserted, and proceeds to step 3108. Next, in step 3108, the medal management unit 1200 determines whether or not the input signal receiving unit 1101 has received a medal insertion signal. In the case of Yes in step 3108, in step 3110, the medal management unit 1200 refers to the medal information temporary storage unit 1201 and determines whether or not the bet counter value is “3”. In the case of Yes in step 3110, the medal management unit 1200 adds “1” to the bet counter value in the medal information temporary storage unit 1201 in step 3112, and proceeds to step 3116. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 3110, the medal management unit 1200 adds “1” to the CRE counter value in the medal information temporary storage unit 1201 in step 3114, and proceeds to step 3116. Next, in step 3116, the medal management unit 1200 refers to the medal information temporary storage unit 1201 and displays the current medal information (the number of bets and the number of credits) on the main display device 36. In step 1118, the medal management unit 1200 sets a command related to the current medal information (a command to the sub-control board 3000 side and transmitted by the control command transmission process in step 2006), and step 3138. Migrate to Thus, in this embodiment, when a medal is inserted into a gaming machine, if the bet counter value is not the maximum number (3 in this example), 1 is added to the bet counter value, and the bet counter When the value is the maximum number, 1 is added to the CRE counter value.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 3108, in step 3120, the medal management means 1200 determines whether or not the input signal receiving means 1101 has received the payout button operation signal, that is, whether or not the player has pressed the medal payout button 25. Determine whether. In the case of Yes in step 3120, in step 3124, the medal management unit 1200 refers to the medal information temporary storage unit 1201 and determines whether or not the CRE counter value is greater than “0”. If Yes in step 3124, the medal management unit 1200 subtracts “1” from the CRE counter value in the medal information temporary storage unit 1201 in step 3126, and the process proceeds to step 3132. Next, in step 3132, the medal management unit 1200 drives the medal payout device 4000 to discharge “1” medal to the medal tray 5. Next, in step 3134, the medal management unit 1200 refers to the medal information temporary storage unit 1201 and displays the current medal information (the number of bets and the number of credits) on the main display device 36. In step 3136, the medal management unit 1200 sets a command related to the current medal information (a command to the sub-control board 3000 side and transmitted in the control command transmission process in step 2006), and step 3124. Migrate to

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 3124, in step 3128, the medal management unit 1200 refers to the medal information temporary storage unit 1201 and determines whether or not the bet counter value is greater than “0”. If Yes in step 3128, the medal management unit 1200 subtracts “1” from the bet counter value in the medal information temporary storage unit 1201 in step 3130, and the process proceeds to step 3132. In the case of No in step 3120 or step 3128, the process proceeds to step 3138.

  Next, in step 3138, the game start determining means 1300 determines whether or not the input signal receiving means 1101 has received a bet (BET) button operation signal, that is, whether or not the player has operated the BET button 18. To do. In the case of Yes in step 3138, in step 3140, the game start determination means 1300 refers to the medal information temporary storage means 1201 and the bet counter value is “3” (in this example, the maximum value of the bet counter is 3). It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 3140, in step 3142, the game start determination means 1300 clears the bet counter to zero. Next, in step 3144, the game start determination unit 1300 refers to the medal information temporary storage unit 1201 and displays the current medal information (the number of bets and the number of credits) on the main display device 36. Next, in Step 3146 and Step 3148, the game start determination means 1300 is a command related to the current medal information (a command to the sub-control board 3000 side and transmitted by the control command transmission process of Step 2006) and A game start command (a command to the sub-control board 3000 side, which is transmitted in the control command transmission process in step 2006) is set. Next, in step 3149, the game start determination means 1300 clears information related to the previous game (manual information, BB pattern, etc.) on the main display device 36. Next, in step 3152, the medal management means 1200 drives the medal blocker so that the medal cannot be inserted, and proceeds to the next process (remaining ball number setting process in step 3200).

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 3138, in step 3152, the game start determination unit 1300 refers to the medal information temporary storage unit 1201 and determines whether or not the CRE counter value is not “0”. In the case of Yes in step 3152, it is determined that there is no medal that can be inserted (bet), and the process proceeds to step 3102. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 3152, in steps 3154 and 3156, the game start determination unit 1300 subtracts “1” from the CRE counter value of the medal information temporary storage unit 1201 and adds “1” to the bet counter value. . Next, in step 3158, the game start determination unit 1300 refers to the medal information temporary storage unit 1201 and displays the current medal information (the number of bets and the number of credits) on the main display device 36. In step 3160, the game start determination unit 1300 sets a command related to the current medal information (a command to the sub-control board 3000 side and transmitted in the control command transmission process in step 2006). 3140.

Next, FIG. 7 is a flowchart of remaining ball number setting processing according to the subroutine of step 3200 in FIG. First, in step 3202, the game start determination unit 1300 refers to the flag temporary storage unit 2101 and determines whether or not a special game flag (a flag that is turned on during execution of a special game) is on. In the case of Yes in step 3202, in step 3204, the game start determining means 1300 causes the special entrance operation gate 12 to be turned on the special entrance operation gate valid flag in the flag temporary storage means 2101 (by turning on, the game ball Is turned on), the special entrance 11 is to be opened when the ball passes. In step 3206, the game start determination unit 1300 uses the information of the remaining number of balls n in the game ball number temporary storage unit 2102 as n _T (the number of balls in the special game after the second round: “15 in this example” ”) Is set, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 3250). In the case of No in step 3202, in step 3208, the game start determining means 1300 uses n _U (number of balls during normal game: in this example) as information on the remaining number of balls n in the game ball number temporary storage means 2102. “2”) is set, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 3250). Here, “15” is set as n _T and “2” is set uniformly as n _U , but this is not restrictive (preferably n _T > n _U ). For example, when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, when a random number is acquired and the lottery is won or lost), the n value is appropriately set (for example, a specific number is assigned with reference to a table, or when a winner is won, it is uniformly It may be configured to set a large number, or a uniform small number when they are off. In this case, it is preferable to set a larger number (one ball in this example) than the number of games necessary for the winning combination (in this example, even zero balls are possible), especially during normal games. In addition, although details will be described later, the sparrow ball game machine according to the present embodiment is the second and subsequent rounds during the BB (during special games) (the game that is played by the BB role is the first round). In the game, the number of game balls that can be launched in one game is 15 balls, and the handball is not dealt as a game. (Not in BB, or the first round in BB is a normal game) The number of game balls that can be fired in one game is two, and there are three manuals It is configured to be distributed.

  Next, FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the BB combination determination process according to the subroutine of step 3250 in FIG. First, in step 3252, the BB pattern determining unit 1600 acquires a BB combination determining random number. Next, in step 3254, the BB pattern determination means 1600 refers to the BB pattern determination / content determination table 1601 and the BB combination determination random number acquired in step 3252 and refers to the BB pattern (which was agile in this game). In this case, a combination of Agari combination that becomes BB combination) is determined. Next, in step 3256, the BB pattern determined in step 3254 is temporarily stored in the BB pattern temporary storage unit 2106, and the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 3300). Here, the lower part of the figure is an example of the BB pattern determination / content determination table 1601 according to the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, in the present embodiment, it is configured to be determined by lottery from 20 BB patterns of A to U, and “7, 7, 7” is determined regardless of which BB pattern is determined. It is comprised so that it may become BB combination. Depending on the lottery result, “4 · 4 · 4”, “5 · 5 · 5”, “6 · 6 · 6”, and “4 · 5 · 6” can be used as the BB role. That is, it is configured such that a plurality of Agari roles can become BB roles in one game. In this embodiment, two types of rounds, 5R and 10R, are provided as execution rounds for special games, and a hidden 5R is provided for 5R special games. A hidden 10R is provided. Here, the hidden 5R means that, for example, when “4/4/4” is determined to be the hidden BB role, the “4/4/4” is the BB role during the execution of the game. It is the BB combination configured to notify that the BB combination is aggravated only when it becomes agile with "4, 4, 4" without notification. The hidden 10R is the same as the hidden 5R. In addition, when it is determined that the game BB role is 5R (normal 5R BB role) that is not hidden 5R or 10R (normal 10R BB role) that is not hidden 10R, It is comprised so that it may notify that it is a BB combination.

  Next, FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the layout determination process according to the subroutine of step 3300 in FIG. First, in step 3302, the distribution control unit 1907 refers to the flag area of the flag temporary storage unit 2101 and determines whether or not the special game flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 3202, in step 3204, the layout control unit 1907 refers to the layout determination table 1907t and determines the first layout by lottery. Next, in step 3306, the layout control unit 1907 refers to the layout determination table 1907t and determines the second layout by lottery. Next, in step 3308, the layout control unit 1907 refers to the layout determination table 1907t and determines the third layout by lottery. Here, the upper right part of the figure is an example of the layout determination table 1907t. As shown in the figure, out of the total number 1000, the “4” symbol is 150, the “5” symbol is 150, the “6” symbol is 150, the “7” symbol is 150, and the “skull” symbol is 400. (It is determined by lottery in each of the first, second and third). The allocation of the numbers in each symbol is not limited to this example. For example, out of the total number 1000, the “4” symbol is 200, the “5” symbol is 200, and the “6” symbol is 200. , “7” symbol is distributed by 200 and “skull” symbol is allocated by 200, that is, all symbols may be selected with equal probability. In this example, even when the “4” symbol is determined as the first arrangement, the probability that the “4” symbol is subsequently determined is not changed (the distribution of the numbers is not changed). That is, when determining the second layout, it is determined based on the number distribution in the layout determination table regardless of which one is determined. When determining the arrangement, the arrangement is determined based on the number distribution of the arrangement determination table, regardless of whether the first arrangement or the second arrangement is determined. .

  Next, in step 3310, the layout control means 1907 executes layout rearrangement processing, and layout information of the layout (information regarding which symbols are placed at the left position, middle position, and right position). Are temporarily stored, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 3400). In the case of No in step 3302, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in step 3400). As described above, when the special game flag is OFF, that is, when the special game is not being executed, the game is configured so that three cards are distributed to the player at the start of the game. When the flag is on, that is, during the execution of the second and subsequent rounds of the special game, the game is configured not to be distributed to the player at the start of the game.

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the game execution start control process according to the subroutine of step 3400 in FIG. First, in step 3402, the game control means 1900 refers to the flag area of the flag temporary storage means 2101 and determines whether or not the special game flag is off. In the case of Yes in step 3402, in step 3500, the game control means 1900 executes a non-BB game execution control process, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 3900). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 3402, in step 3800, the game control means 1900 executes a game execution control process during BB, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 3900).

  Next, FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the non-BB game execution control process according to the subroutine of step 3500 in FIG. First, in step 3502, the game control means 1900 displays a meal based on the arrangement information stored in step 3310. Next, in step 3504, a command related to the current manual information (a command to the sub-control board 3000 and transmitted in the control command transmission process in step 2006) is set. Note that the procedure information set in step 3504 is mainly procedure information relating to the arrangement. Next, in step 3550, the game control unit 1900 executes a combination determination control process, which will be described later. Next, in step 3506, the game control means 1900 refers to the flag area of the flag temporary storage means 2101 and is an automatic end flag (a flag that will end the game being executed when turned on). It is determined whether or not the flag (turned on at 3580) is off. In the case of Yes in step 3506, in step 3508, the game control means 1900 sets an effect execution command (a command to the sub-control board 3000 side and transmitted in the control command transmission process in step 2006). The effect execution command includes information related to the effect determined in the combination determination control process in step 3550 and information related to the BB pattern determined in step 3254. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 3506, in step 3510, the game control means 1900 turns off the automatic end flag and proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 3900).

  Next, in step 3600, the game control means 1900 executes a discard control process described later. Next, in step 3514, the game control means 1900 refers to the agari role temporary storage means 2110a, and determines whether or not an agari role has been established with the current procedure. If Yes in step 3514, in step 3516, the game control means 1900 determines whether or not the agari button 24 has been operated. If Yes in step 3516, the process proceeds to step 3518. In the case of No in step 3514, in other words, the process moves to step 3518 even when the Agari combination is not established.

  Next, at step 3518, the game control means 1900 refers to the flag area of the flag temporary storage means 2101 and turns on when the discard operation executed flag (the discard operation is executed in the discard control processing of step 3600). It is determined whether or not the flag is ON. In the case of Yes in step 3518, in step 3520, the game control means 1900 turns off the discard operation execution completion flag in the flag area of the flag temporary storage means 2101. Next, in step 3521, the game control unit 1900 has a discard operation execution flag (a flag that is turned on in step 3604) in the flag area of the flag temporary storage unit 2101, and the discard operation can be executed. Turn off the flag that turns on. Next, in step 3522, the game control means 1900 gives a discard operation end command (a command regarding that a discard operation to the sub-control board 3000 has been executed, and is transmitted in the control command transmission process in step 2006). Set. Next, in step 3524, the game control means 1900 sends a discard preparation end command (a command relating to the completion of the discard preparation state to the sub-control board 3000 side, which is transmitted in the control command transmission process of step 2006). Set. Next, in step 3526, the game control means 1900 is a command for starting self-navigation navigation (a command relating to the fact that a game ball can be fired for self-control on the sub-control board 3000 side). To be transmitted in the control command transmission process). Next, at step 3650, the game control means 1900 executes a self-control process described later. Next, in step 3528, the game control means 1900 is a command related to the completion of self-restraint of the game by firing a game ball for self-navigation to the sub-control board 3000 side. , Transmitted in the control command transmission process of step 2006). Next, at step 3530, the game control means 1900 decrements (decrements) the counter value n of the remaining ball counter 1902b. Next, in step 3532, the game control means 1900 sends a command related to the current remaining ball number counter value (a command related to the current remaining ball number to the sub-control board 3000 side, in the control command transmission process in step 2006. Set). Next, in step 3534, the game control means 1900 refers to the remaining ball number counter 1902b and determines whether or not the counter value n of the counter has become zero. If Yes in step 3534, the process proceeds to step 3536. If step 3518 or step 3534 is No, the process proceeds to step 3600.

  Next, in Step 3536, the game control means 1900 refers to the Agari combination temporary storage means 2110a and determines whether or not an Agari combination is established with the current procedure. In the case of Yes in step 3536, in step 3538, the game control unit 1900 determines whether or not the agari button 24 has been operated. If Yes in step 3538, the process proceeds to step 3700. In the case of No at step 3538, the process of step 3538 is repeatedly executed until the agari button 24 is operated.

  Next, in step 3700, the game control means 1900 executes an agari combination determination process, which will be described later. Next, at step 3750, the game control means 1900 executes a payout number calculation process, which will be described later, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 3900).

  In the case of No in step 3516, in step 3540, in the flag area of the flag temporary storage means 2101, a discarding operation execution flag (a flag that is turned on in step 3604 and in a state in which the discarding operation can be performed) Turn off the flag that turns on. Next, in step 3542, the game control means 1900 gives a discard operation end command (a command related to the fact that a discard operation to the sub-control board 3000 has been executed, and is transmitted in the control command transmission process in step 2006). Set. Next, in step 3544, the game control means 1900 sends a discard preparation end command (a command relating to the end of the discard preparation state to the sub-control board 3000 side, which is transmitted in the control command transmission process in step 2006). Is set, and the flow shifts to Step 3700. Further, in the case of No in step 3536, the processing proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 3900).

  Next, FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the game execution control process during BB according to the subroutine of step 3800 in FIG. First, at step 3650, the game control means 1900 executes a self-control process, which will be described later, and proceeds to step 3600. Next, in step 3600, the game control means 1900 executes a discard control process described later. Next, in Step 3802, the game control means 1900 refers to the Agari combination temporary storage means 2110a, and determines whether or not the Agari combination has not been established by the current procedure. In the case of Yes in step 3802, in step 3804, the game control means 1900 refers to the flag area of the flag temporary storage means 2101 and the discard operation executed flag (the discard operation was executed in the discard control processing of step 3600). In this case, it is determined whether or not a flag that is turned on in this case is on. In the case of Yes in step 3804, in step 3806, the game control means 1900 decrements (decrements) the counter value n of the remaining ball number counter 1902b. Next, in step 3808, the game control means 1900 sends a command related to the current remaining ball number counter value (a command related to the current remaining ball number to the sub-control board 3000 side, in the control command transmission process in step 2006). Set). Next, in step 3810, the game control means 1900 refers to the remaining ball number counter 1902b and determines whether or not the counter value n of the counter has become zero. In the case of Yes in step 3810, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 3900). In the case of No in step 3804 or step 3810, the process proceeds to step 3600.

  In the case of No in step 3802, in other words, if an agari combination is established, in step 3750, the game control means 1900 executes a payout number calculation process, which will be described later, and performs the next process (step 3900). The process proceeds to (1). Although the details will be described later, the payout number calculation process is a process executed when an agari combination is established and an agari is reached, that is, during the execution of a special game (BB), Since the number of winning medals is the maximum number of winning medals (30), it is configured to automatically become agile without an operation of the agari button 24 when an agari combination is established.

  Next, FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the hand determining process according to the subroutine of step 3550 in FIG. First, at step 3556, the game control means 1900 refers to the BB pattern temporary storage means 2106 and reads the BB pattern temporarily stored at step 3256. Next, in step 3558, the game control means 1900 refers to the BB pattern read out in step 3556 and confirms the current state of the arrangement (handbook). Next, in step 3560, the game control means 1900 determines whether or not the current game (hand) has a possibility of agitation based on the state of the game (hand) checked in step 3558. (For example, if the three cards distributed at the table were “skull / skull / skull”, then no matter what you would do, the Agari role would not be established. Determined to be impossible). In the case of Yes in step 3560, in step 3562, the game control means 1900 determines whether or not the current game (handbook) satisfies the battle effect execution condition. Here, the upper part of the figure is an example of the arrangement state. As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, when it is determined whether or not the execution condition of the effect is satisfied, based on the BB pattern related to the game and the current arrangement (handbook). It is configured to be determined, and the battle effect execution condition satisfies the condition regardless of which is determined for the BB pattern related to the game, and “7” symbol is 2 for the current game (hand). It is configured to be satisfied only when it has a sheet. In other words, if one of the steps is thrown away (and the throwing operation is performed on one piece), and “7” symbols can be put down at least once out of the two subsequent steps, “7-7. The game is configured so that the battle effect can be executed when the BB of 7 ”can be agile. By comprising in this way, when the battle production | generation generate | occur | produces, it guarantees that the expectation degree in which BB combination will be materialized will become high.

  In the case of Yes in step 3562, the effect of the game is determined to be a battle effect in step 3564, and the process proceeds to the next process (process of step 3506). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 3562, in step 3566, the game control means 1900 determines whether or not the current game (handbook) satisfies the doublet effect execution condition. Here, the upper part of the figure is an example of the arrangement state. As shown in the figure, the run-off effect execution condition is that for the BB pattern related to the game, “4/4/4”, “5/5/5” and “6/6/6” The condition is satisfied by including any (may include more than one), and the current arrangement (handbook) has two of the Zoro eyes that include the BB role In the case, specifically, if “4/4/4” is included as the BB role, the current arrangement (handbook) has two “4” symbols to satisfy the condition. , If “5 ・ 5 ・ 5” is included as the BB role, the current arrangement (handbook) has two “5” symbols, so the condition is satisfied.・ If “6 ・ 6” is included, the current arrangement (handbook) has two “6” symbols, so the condition is fulfilled and the Zoro eyes effect is executed. The Rukoto. By configuring in this way, as with the above-described battle effects, it is ensured that the expectation that the BB combination will be established when the double-eyes effect is generated is also ensured. In addition, while the battle direction is an effect aiming at the BB role of “7./7.7”, the Zoro eyes effect is an effect aiming at the BB role other than “7.7.7”. The BB role that should be aimed at is different from that of the double-eyed production.

  In the case of Yes in step 3566, in step 3568, the game effect is determined to be a double eye effect, and the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 3506). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 3566, in step 3570, it is determined whether or not there is a possibility that the current arrangement (handbook) is likely to be a BB combination. As a specific example in which the BB role may be established, it is only necessary that the BB role can be established by two self-restraints. For example, the BB role is “4 · 5 · 6” and “7 · 7 · 7”. If there was an arrangement of "4. Skull, Skull", first discard "Doku" and turn "5" into "4.5. Skull". Next, discarding one “skull” and declaring “6” results in a hand of “4, 5, 6” and the BB role is established. In such a case, in step 3570 BB It is determined that there is a possibility of winning a combination. Also, if the role of BB is only “7, 7, 7”, if the arrangement is “4, Skull, Skull”, then even if two “7” are handed over again In this case, it is determined in step 3570 that there is no possibility of establishing the BB combination.

  In the case of Yes in step 3570, in step 3572, the game control means 1900 executes a mission effect execution lottery to win with a predetermined probability (1/4 in this example). In this example, it is configured to execute the mission effect when the lottery of whether or not to execute the mission effect is won. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It may be configured to execute only in cases. Moreover, you may comprise so that a mission effect may be performed without going through lottery when there is a possibility that the BB combination will be established. Next, at step 3574, the game control means 1900 determines whether or not the lottery at step 3572 has been won. In the case of Yes in step 3574, in step 3576, the game control means 1900 determines that the game effect is the mission effect, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 3506).

  In the case of No in step 3570 or step 3574, in step 3578, the game control means 1900 determines that the game effect is a normal effect, and proceeds to the next process (the process in step 3506). Although the details will be described later, the sparrow ball gaming machine according to the present embodiment is configured such that the navigation effect is executed even during the execution of the normal effect, and is configured as a gaming machine that does not bore the player. Has been.

  In the case of No in step 3560, in step 3580, the game control unit 1900 turns on the automatic end flag in the flag area of the flag temporary storage unit 2101 and shifts to the next processing (processing in step 3506). As described above, in this embodiment, the game is automatically ended when there is no possibility that an Agari combination will be established regardless of the subsequent self-restraint at the time when three tables are distributed. It is possible to smooth the game tempo.

  Next, FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the throwing away control process related to the subroutine of step 3600 in FIG. 11 or FIG. First, in step 3602, the discarding control unit 1901 refers to the flag area of the flag temporary storage unit 2101 and determines whether or not the discarding operation execution flag is off. If YES in step 3602, in step 3604, the discarding control unit 1901 turns on a discarding operation execution flag in the flag area of the flag temporary storage unit 2101. Next, in step 3606, the throwing away control unit 1901 is a throwing away operation start command (a command relating to the fact that the throwing operation to the sub-control board 3000 can be executed. Set). Next, in step 3608, the throwing-away control means 1901 determines whether or not there is a “skull” symbol on the hand. In the case of Yes in step 3608, in step 3610, the "skull" symbol in the hand is put into a discarding ready state (temporarily storing that it is in a discarding ready state). Thus, in the present embodiment, there is no Agari role that includes the “skull” symbol, that is, the “skull” symbol is the symbol with the lowest profit for the player. If the “skull” symbol is present, it is definite that the symbol that the player should perform the discarding operation will be the “skull” symbol. It is configured so that it is displayed as “preparation for discarding”. If there are multiple “skull” symbols on the hand, the “skull” symbol placed on the left of the “skull” symbols will be in the discard ready state (designs that can be in the discard ready state). Because there is one).

  Next, in step 3612, the throwing away control unit 1901 sends a throwing away preparation start command (a command relating to the fact that a new throwing preparation state is entered to the sub-control board 3000 side. In the control command transmission process in step 2006, Is transmitted), and the flow shifts to Step 3614. Note that if the result is No in step 3602 or step 3608, the process proceeds to step 3614.

  Next, in step 3614, the throwing pad control unit 1901 determines whether any manipulation has been performed, in other words, the left button 19a, the middle button 19b, or the right button 19c is in a state where the throwing operation can be performed. It is determined whether or not there has been an operation. In the case of Yes in step 3614, in step 3616, the throwing away control unit 1901 determines whether or not the hand that has been determined to have been operated in step 3614 is in a discarding ready state. In the case of Yes in step 3616, in step 3618, the throwing away control unit 1901 executes the throwing operation on the hand that has been determined to have been operated in step 3614. Note that the throwing operation will be deleted from the billing information, and the throwing operation will be performed when the throwing operation is performed in the state of 3 pieces (then, the self-running will be executed). By doing this, there will be three more steps). Next, in step 3620, the discarding control unit 1901 turns on a discarding operation execution flag (a flag that is turned on when the discarding operation is executed) in the flag area of the flag temporary storage unit 2101. Transition.

  If NO in step 3616, in step 3622, the throwing away control unit 1901 deletes the information indicating that it is in the throwing ready state from the hand that is in the throwing ready state (releases the discarding ready state), and step 3614. Abandon the handle that was operated in step a and prepare for preparation. As described above, in the present embodiment, only one of the three possible procedures can be in a discard preparation state (a plurality of sheets cannot be in a discard preparation state at the same time). When any of the handbooks is in a ready state for discarding, the handbook that was previously in the ready state for discarding is configured not to be in a ready state for discarding. Next, in step 3624, the throwing away control unit 1901 sends a throwing away preparation start command (a command relating to a new throwing preparation state to the sub-control board 3000 side, in the control command transmission process in step 2006. Is transmitted), and the flow shifts to Step 3626. Note that if the result is No in step 3614, the process proceeds to step 3624.

  Next, in step 3624, the throwing away control unit 1901 discards the throwing away control unit 1901 is a command related to the current handling information (a command to the sub-control board 3000 side, in the control command transmission process in step 2006). Is transmitted), and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 3514 or step 3802). It should be noted that the command to be transmitted to the sub-control board 3000 side in the process of step 3626 includes information related to the manual for which the discard operation has been executed, information related to the manual for which the discard preparation has been performed, and the like. include.

  Next, FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the self-control process according to the subroutine of step 3650 in FIG. 11 or FIG. First, in step 3652, the game ball supply control unit 1902a for self-defense sets one game ball at the launch position of the game ball launcher. Next, in step 3656, the self-control unit 1902 determines whether or not the input signal receiving unit 1101 has received the special entrance gate operation gate signal, that is, the game ball has passed the special entrance operation gate 12. It is determined whether or not. If Yes in step 3656, in step 3658, the self-control unit 1902 refers to the flag temporary storage unit 2101 and determines whether or not the special game flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 3658, in step 3660, the self-control unit 1902 opens the special entrance 11 for a predetermined period (in this example, the period until the running game ends). In addition, the opening period of the special entrance 11 is not limited to this, You may comprise so that it may close with progress of predetermined time. In such a configuration, it is sufficient that the game ball that has passed through the special entrance entrance gate 12 has a sufficient period to enter the special entrance 11 as it is, for example, it is opened for 1 second. What is necessary is just to comprise (in that case, the special entrance 11 will be opened when a game ball enters the special entrance operation gate 12 again in the same game).

  Next, the ball entering process in Steps 3662 to 3668 will be described in detail. First, the processing of Steps 3662 to 3664 is the entrance processing at the time of normal entrance entrance. First, in Step 3652, the self-control control means 1902 determines that the game ball is a design entrance entrance 13a, 13b. ..Determining whether or not the player has entered any of the balls. In the case of Yes in step 3662, in step 3664, the self-control unit 1902 determines that the symbol based on the entered symbol entrance (for example, “4” when entering the symbol entrance 13 a). The symbol is temporarily stored as self-sufficiency information (the self-sufficiency information is newly given to the hand), and the process proceeds to step 3670.

  Next, the special entrance entrance entry processing in steps 3666 to 3668, which is executed in the case of No in step 3652, will be described. First, in step 3666, the self-control control unit 1902 determines whether or not a game ball has entered the special entrance 11. Here, in the case of No in step 3666, the process returns to step 3656, and a game ball is placed in the symbol entrance 13a, 13b,... Loop until entering the ball. On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step 3666, in step 3668, the self-control control unit 1902 displays the predetermined symbol (in this example, the symbol “7” which is the most profitable symbol for the player) as self-restraint information (manual procedure). The information is temporarily stored in the information as information relating to the newly self-sufficient hand) (the self-handling information is newly given to the hand), and the process proceeds to step 3670.

  Next, in step 3670, the self-control unit 1902 executes re-ordering of the hand based on the hand information (hand information excluding new self-information) and the self-information, and temporarily stores it. Next, in step 3672, the self-control unit 1902 sends a command related to the manual information after the rearrangement (a command to the sub-control board 3000 side and transmitted in the control command transmission process in step 2006). Then, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of Step 3528 or Step 3600). For the command to be transmitted to the sub-control board 3000 side in the process of step 3672, self-execution is executed, and rearrangement is executed based on the self-stored information and manual information that are newly stored temporarily. Information related to later procedure information (self-registration information is also included in the procedure information) is included.

  Next, FIG. 16 is a flowchart of the agari combination determination process according to the subroutine of step 3700 in FIG. First, in step 3702, the combination determining means 1903 refers to the current Agari combination and the determined BB pattern, and determines whether or not the current Agari combination is a BB combination. In the case of Yes in step 3702, in step 3704, the combination determining unit 1903 turns on the special game flag in the flag temporary storage unit 2101. Next, in step 3706, the combination determining means 1903 refers to the current Agari combination and the determined BB pattern, and uses the value corresponding to the current Agari combination (the number of BB rounds) as a special game game number counter. (Decrement counter, a counter that measures the number of times the BB round is executed). Next, in step 3708, the hand determining means 1903 turns on the special entrance opening gate valid flag in the flag temporary storage means 2101 and shifts to the next process (process of step 3750). In the case of No in step 3702, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in step 3750).

  Next, FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the payout number calculation process according to the subroutine of step 3750 in FIG. 11 or FIG. First, in step 3752, the payout number calculating means 1904 refers to the award winning medal number table 1904a for each agari role based on the agari role code temporarily stored in the agari role temporary storage unit 2110a, and obtains the number of medals obtained by the agari role. And the calculation result is set in a temporary work storage area (not shown) of the acquired medal number temporary storage means 2110b.

  Here, the table in the lower part of the figure is an example of a table of winning medals for each Agari combination, and the number of acquired medals corresponding to the Agari combination is shown. In this embodiment, “4, 4, 4”, “5, 5, 5”, “6, 6, 6”, “7, 7, 7”, “4, 5. There are five types of Agari roles, “6”, and the illustrated medal is given to the player by becoming Agari (one of each of the three manuals is shown. For example, “4.・ In the case of “4”, the case where the symbol “4” becomes agile in the state of 3 pieces is shown in the table)). If the Agari role is the BB role in the current game, the second round of BB will be started in the next game, and in the games after the second round of BB, all Agari The number of medals to be paid out for the winning combination is set to 30 which is the maximum payout number. In addition, there are three types of Agari roles “18”, “19”, and “20” as Agari roles that cannot be the BB role, and the illustrated medal is given to the player (3 sheets) For example, if there are one “4” symbol and two “7” symbols in the hand, “4 + 7 + 7 = 18”, and “18” agari The role will be established). In addition, when the hand is changed to “6/6/6”, the Agari combination of “666” is given priority, and the “18” Agari combination is not established. If established, priority is given to the Agari combination with a large number of payouts. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when a plurality of Agari combinations are established at the same time, the player can be given a medal of the number of payouts obtained by adding up the number of payouts corresponding to the plurality of Agari combinations. Also good.

  Next, in step 3754, the payout number calculating means 1904 refers to the acquired medal number set in step 3752 and is temporarily stored in the temporary work area of the acquired medal number temporary storage means 2110b, and the acquired medal number is determined. It is determined whether or not the number is “30” or less. If Yes in step 3754, the process proceeds to step 3758. If No in step 374, the payout number calculating unit 1904 sets “30” in the acquired medal number temporary storage unit 2110 b (“30”) in step 3756. To step 3758. Next, in step 3758, the payout number calculating means 1904 turns on the agari flag (a flag that is turned on when the agari combination is established and becomes agull) in the flag area of the flag temporary storage means 2101. To do. Next, in step 3760, the information transmission means 1102 is a command (command to the sub-control board 3000 side) related to the agari-related information (eg, agari combination, number of acquired medals, etc.), and is transmitted in the control command transmission process of step 2006. Is set), and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 3900).

  Next, FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the game end process according to the subroutine of step 3900 in FIG. First, at step 3902, the game end control means 1905 refers to the flag area of the temporary flag storage means 2101 and determines whether or not the agary flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 3902, in step 3904, the game end control unit 1905 turns off the agary flag in the flag area of the flag temporary storage unit 2101. Next, at step 3906, the game end control means 1905 refers to the acquired medal number temporary storage means 2110b, and adds the value of the acquired medal number calculated at step 3750 to the CRE counter value of the medal information temporary storage means 1201. To do. Next, in step 3908, the game end control means 1905 refers to the medal information temporary storage means 1201 and determines whether or not the added CRE counter value is greater than “50”. In the case of Yes in step 3908, in step 3910, the game end control means 1905 refers to the medal information temporary storage means 1201, calculates the number of medals exceeding “50” from the CRE counter value, and the payout control means 2200 The calculated medal number is discharged to the medal tray 5. Next, in step 3912, the game end control means 1905 sets “50” to the CRE counter of the medal information temporary storage means 1201. Note that if the result is No in step 3908, the process proceeds to step 3914.

  Next, in step 3914, the game end control means 1905 refers to the flag temporary storage means 2101 and determines whether or not the special game flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 3914, in step 3916, the game end control means 1905 subtracts “1” from the counter value of the special game game number counter 1906a in the special game related information temporary storage means 2111. Next, in step 3918, the game end control means 1905 refers to the special game related information temporary storage means 2111 and determines whether or not the special game game number counter value is zero. In the case of Yes in step 3918, that is, when the round in which the special game (BB) can be executed is completed, in step 3922, the game end control means 1905 sets the special game flag in the flag area of the flag temporary storage means 2101. Turn off and go to step 3924.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 3902, in step 3920, the game end control means 1905 refers to the flag temporary storage means 2101 to determine whether or not the special game flag is on. The process proceeds to step 3922 (if the game is not agile during the special game, the special game is punctured). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 3920, the process proceeds to step 3924. Note that if the answer is No in Step 3914 or Step 3918, the process proceeds to Step 3924.

  Next, in step 3924, the game end control means 1905 turns off the special entrance entrance flag in the flag area of the temporary flag storage means 2101. Next, in step 3926, the game end control means 1905 turns off the special entrance opening gate valid flag in the flag area of the flag temporary storage means 2101. Next, in step 3928, the game end control means 1905 refers to the game state temporary storage means 2100, and the main display device displays information after the game ends (for example, the number of medals obtained if the game is Agari). 36, and the process proceeds to Step 3932.

  Next, in step 3932, the game end control means 1905 executes post-game end processing (for example, initialization of each flag and temporary storage means) (not shown, but in the processing on the sub-control board 3000 side). In addition, the initialization of the performance being executed is executed). Next, in step 3934, the game end control means 1905 determines whether or not the post-game end processing has ended. In the case of No in step 3934, the processing of step 3932 is performed until the processing after the game ends, and in the case of Yes in step 3934, the processing proceeds to step 3936. Next, at step 3936, the game end control means 1905 determines whether or not the waiting time end timing after the game is reached. In the sparrow ball game machine according to the present embodiment, the number of games per unit time (for example, 1 minute) exceeds a predetermined number (for example, 7 games) in order to regulate the number of games that can be executed per unit time. Or when it becomes super, the waiting time which does not transfer to the next game is provided. In the case of No in step 3936, the processing of step 3936 is performed until the “waiting time end timing after the end of game” is reached, and in the case of Yes in step 3936, the processing proceeds to the next processing (processing of step 3100). .

  Next, a control process executed on the sub control board 3000 side will be described with reference to FIGS. First, FIG. 19 is a main flowchart on the sub-control board 3000 side in the sparrow ball game machine according to the present embodiment. Here, the process of FIG. 5A is a process on the side of the sub-control board 3000 that is executed after a reset such as when the power to the gaming machine is turned on. That is, at the time of turning on the power to the gaming machine, in step 5002, the sub-control board 3000 executes an initial process based on the information received from the main control board 1000 (for example, when the ram clear information is received → the sub-control When the RAM on the board 3000 side is initialized and various information commands are received, the production-related information at the time of power interruption is reset in the RAM on the sub-control board 3000 side). Thereafter, the process proceeds to a loop process for repeatedly executing (b), which is a repetitive process routine for the sub-control board 3000. Here, when (b) is executed, as shown in the process of FIG. 5B, first, in step 5100, the sub-control board 3000 executes a manual display control process, which will be described later. Next, in step 5200, the sub-control board 3000 executes an in-game effect display control process, which will be described later. Next, in step 5300, the sub-control board 3000 executes a discarding operation navigation effect display control process, which will be described later. Next, at step 5400, the sub-control board 3000 executes a self-navigation navigation effect display control process, which will be described later. Next, in step 5500, the first presentation is performed at a predetermined timing based on other information (for example, game start signal, medal information, remaining number of balls, special entrance entrance signal, game end signal, etc.). A predetermined display control process is executed on the display device 16 and the second effect display device 10, and the repetition processing routine is terminated.

  As described above, the sub-control board 3000 adopts a form in which the sub-side main routine (S5100 to S5500) is loop-processed after reset. Also, the process of FIG. 6C is an interrupt process of the sub control board 3000, and the signal from the STB signal line in the main control board 1000 is a terminal of the CPU of the sub control board 3000 (in this example, NMI). It is a processing flow (c) in the case of being connected to a terminal. That is, when an NMI interrupt occurs in the CPU of the sub control board 3000 (when the STB signal line is turned on), in step 5004, the sub control board 3000 sends a command input port (data signal) from the main control board 1000 side. Check the input port of the line. In step 5006, the sub control board 3000 temporarily stores the command transmitted from the main control board 1000 side in the RAM on the sub control board 3000 side based on the confirmation result, and is executed immediately before the interrupt process. Return to the previous process.

  Next, FIG. 20 is a flowchart of the manual display control process according to the subroutine of step 5100 in FIG. First, in step 5102, the layout display control means 3110 determines whether or not a command related to manual information from the main control board 1000 side has been received. In the case of Yes in step 5102, in step 5104, the display control means 3100 displays the hand on the first effect display device 16 based on the received hand information (the hand after the discard operation based on the hand information). , Display the handbook after self-restraint, the handbook for the disposal preparation state, etc.) and proceed to step 5106. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 5102, the process proceeds to step 5106. Next, in step 5106, the display control means 3100 determines whether or not a command related to agitation from the main control board 1000 side has been received. In the case of Yes in step 5106, in step 5108, the display control means 3100 is an effect that is executed by the second effect display device 10 based on the command related to the agari (the effect that is executed when the agari becomes agitation, If the result becomes agile and a case other than the BB role becomes agility, a different effect is executed), and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 5200). Even in the case of No in step 5106, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 5200). Here, if the hand information received in step 5102 includes information indicating that any hand has been thrown away, the hand will be displayed in a throw-away display. However, a display example in such a case is as shown in the discard preparation display image on the right side of the figure. Specifically, the discard preparation display image illustrates a state where the “4” symbol at the right position becomes the discard preparation display when the “4” symbol at the right position is operated. In this manner, when the hand is thrown into a ready state, the display of the hand is moved upward in the display area of the first effect display device 16.

  Next, FIG. 21 is a flowchart of the effect display control process during gaming according to the subroutine of step 5200 in FIG. First, in Step 5202, the notice effect display control means 3140 determines whether or not an effect execution command from the main control board 1000 side has been received. In the case of Yes in Step 5202, in Step 5204, the notice effect display control means 3140 refers to the command received in Step 5202 and is the content of the effect determined as the game effect of the game being executed being a battle effect? Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 5204, in step 5206, the notice effect display control means 3140 executes the battle effect in the second effect display device 10, and the process proceeds to step 5218. In the case of No in step 5204, in step 5208, the notice effect display control means 3140 refers to the command received in step 5202, and the effect content determined as the in-game effect of the game being executed is the double eye effect. It is determined whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 5208, in step 5210, the notice effect display control means 3140 executes the double eye effect in the second effect display device 10, and proceeds to step 5218.

  Also, in the case of No in step 5208, it is determined in step 5212 whether or not the effect content determined as the game effect of the game being executed is a mission effect. In the case of Yes in step 5212, in step 5214, the notice effect display control means 3140 executes the mission effect on the second effect display device 10 and proceeds to step 5218. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 5212, that is, when the effect content determined as the in-game effect of the game being executed is a normal effect, in step 5216, the notice effect display control means 3140 selects the normal effect as the second effect. The program is executed by the effect display device 10 and the process proceeds to Step 5218. In addition, although a normal effect will be performed by the 2nd effect display apparatus 10, unlike other game effects (a battle effect, a doublet effect, a mission effect), it is an effect mode, such as only a background effect. Since the effect that is executed in front of the display area is not included, when the policy navigation effect described later is executed, the policy navigation effect is displayed with priority (in front).

  Next, in step 5218, the notice effect display control means 3140 confirms the BB pattern determined in the game being executed. Next, in step 5220, the notice effect display control means 3140 displays the normal BB role on the second effect display device 10 (the hidden BB role is not displayed, that is, not notified to the player), and the next process ( The process proceeds to step 5300. Even in the case of No in step 5202, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 5300).

  Next, FIG. 22 is a battle effect execution image diagram according to the present embodiment. First, in this image diagram, the display on the first effect display device 16 and the display on the second effect display device 10 are illustrated in time series. In the present embodiment, the battle effect is configured to be executed when the “7” symbol is in a reach state (a state where two identical symbols are present) at the time when the arrangement is distributed. . As for the BB pattern, since “7, 7, 7” serves as the BB in all the BB patterns, it can be executed regardless of which BB pattern is selected. First, in the upper left of the figure, the first effect display device 16 displays the manner in which the arrangement is distributed, and the character appears on the second effect display device 10. Next, when the first effect display device 16 completes the display of three hand tiles as a table, it becomes possible to perform the discarding operation, and the skull symbol is a display indicating that it is an unnecessary bag. "Status" is displayed (disposal preparation display). In addition, since the three distributed arrangements include two “7” symbols which are the symbols serving as the BB (that is, in a reach state), a battle effect is executed. . The second effect display device 10 displays “battle start!” As a character dialogue.

  Next, a woman who is the opponent of the battle appears on the second effect display device 16 and a display is made to the effect that the total number of the opponent's possession bag is “20”. A line that says you can win (become agile in the role of BB) is displayed. Next, after throwing away the “skull” symbol, it becomes possible to launch a game ball to execute self-restraint, and the second effect display device 16 displays a dialogue (“Now,” that the woman of the battle opponent provocates the player. , “A game!” Is displayed. Next, the game ball is fired (self-execution is executed), and the “7” symbol is self-contained, and the three manuals become “7 / 7.7”. A message to the effect that the woman who was the partner of the defeat was displayed (“Yada, it is already!”). Next, the first effect display device 16 displays that the Agari role as the BB role has been established (displayed as “BB confirmed!”), And the second effect display device 10 displays a player with a character. A message to the effect that the player has won the battle (“WIN !!!!” message) is displayed, and the game is BB from the next game.

  In this way, by configuring so that the battle effect can be executed when the BB combination is highly likely to be established (in this example, a “7” symbol is two), the battle effect can be executed. When it is executed, the expectation degree of establishment of the BB combination in the game can be secured, and the player can continue to have a sense of expectation in executing the battle effect.

  In this example, when there are two “7” symbols in the hand distributed as a table, the battle effect is displayed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Even if there is only one “7” symbol in the procedure at the time, the battle effect may be configured to be executable, or other symbols that can be used as a BB role (determined by the processing of step 3250). A battle effect corresponding to (BB role) may be executable. Moreover, you may comprise so that the effect which hits a player whether a battle effect is performed at the time of the start of a game may be performed. For example, it may be configured such that a silhouette appears in the dark and then develops into a battle effect when a woman appears and does not develop into a battle effect when a man appears. Also, it may be configured such that the opponent of battle production may differ depending on the expectation of the handbill's BB role being established. For example, when there is one “7” symbol in the handbill, the battle production battle If the opponent is a normal character, if the player has 2 “7” symbols, the opponent will be a chance character, and if the opponent has 3 “7” symbols, the opponent will be a premier character (already BB It may be configured such that an effect of celebrating that is established is executed).

  In the present embodiment, as the BB role, “4 · 4 · 4”, “5 · 5 · 5”, “6 · 6 · 6”, “4 · 5 · 6”, “7 · 7 · 7” BB's five BB roles are provided, but the number is not limited to this, and the total number of the three hands such as “18”, “19”, and “20” that are the Agari roles described above is a predetermined number. You may comprise so that it can become a BB combination. In the case of such a configuration, as an effect mode of the battle effect, for example, a display that the sum of the numbers of the opponent's handle is “18” is displayed, and the sum of the numbers of his / her hand is It may be configured such that the BB combination is always established when the number is larger than “18” as the total number of the handle holders. Specifically, when the display indicates that the total number of the hand held by the opponent is “18”, his / her own hand is “5/7/7”, “6/7/7” ”,“ 6 · 6 · 7 ”,“ 7 · 7 · 7 ”may be configured to serve as a BB role, that is, their own hands are“ 5 · 7 · 7 ”,“ 6 · 7 · 7 ” When the BB pattern that will be the BB role is determined by “7”, “6 · 6 · 7”, and “7 · 7 · 7”, the total number of the opponent's handle is “18” You may comprise so that the battle production in which is displayed can be performed. In addition, when the total number of the three hands is configured to be the BB role with a predetermined number, the total number of the three hands is the BB role with the predetermined number. By executing the operation of discarding one piece and self-declaring a single piece, there is a possibility that a BB combination having a predetermined number of the total number of the three pieces of the relevant piece will be satisfied. This is a case where the doublet becomes a BB role, and the possibility of forming the BB role of the doublet is established by performing the operation of discarding one piece from the arrangement and self-depressing one piece. In some cases, it is assumed that the execution condition of the double eye effect is satisfied, and the BB role is not established by executing the operation of discarding one sheet from the arrangement and self-declaring one sheet, but the operation of discarding one sheet from the distribution The BB role is established by repeating 2 times to perform self-restraint for 2 sheets. It may be configured to satisfy the condition for executing the mission effect if there is a potential. Specifically, if the total number of the three cards is “19” or “20” and the BB role is established, and the arrangement is “5, 6, 7”, then 1 After discarding “5” as the first abandoning operation and performing “6” or “7” as the first self-restraint operation, a battle effect is executed in order to establish the BB role. When “6” is the BB role and the arrangement is “6, 6 and 5”, “5” is discarded as the first discard operation, and then “ In the case where “6” is self-recognized, the role of BB is executed in order to establish the BB role, and “7, 7, 7” is the BB role, and the arrangement is “skull 5/7” In this case, after discarding “skull” as the first discard operation, “7” is discarded as the first discard operation, and “5” as the second discard operation. After discarding, may be configured to perform the mission director for BB combination is satisfied when the "7" was Tsu own 摸 as the second self-摸操 work. By configuring in this way, which effect of the battle effect, the slotted eye effect, and the mission effect is to be executed depending on the combination of the determined BB pattern (BB role in the current game) and the current game's arrangement. Can be configured to determine.

  Next, FIG. 23 is an image drawing of the execution of a doublet effect according to the present embodiment. First, in this image diagram, the display on the first effect display device 16 and the display on the second effect display device 10 are illustrated in time series. In the present embodiment, as a condition for executing the doublet effect, a BB pattern including a BB combination including three symbols other than the “7” symbol is selected, and the symbols constituting the BB combination are: It is a condition that there are two cards at the time the bar is distributed (for example, “5 ・ 5 ・ 5” is the BB role, and there are two “5” symbols on the hand). ing. First, in the upper left of the figure, a state in which the layout is displayed on the first effect display device 16 is displayed. On the second effect display device, a display (display of “!?”) That suggests the possibility that an effect with a high expectation level of establishment of the BB character by the character is executed.

  Next, in the upper part of the figure, the first effect display device 16 displays the symbol “5, 5, 4” because three cards have been distributed as the arrangement, and “5” There are two symbols (ie, reach state). In the present embodiment, the doublet of the symbols other than the “7” symbol (three identical symbols are the same) is the BB role, and two symbols other than “7” related to the BB role are in hand. When present, it is configured to be able to execute a double-eyed effect, and in the figure, a game in which the double-eyed “5” symbol is a BB role is illustrated. The second effect display device 10 displays “7 · 7 · 7”, “6 · 6 · 6”, and “5 · 5 · 5”, which are the BB roles in the current game, and executes the double eye effect. Be started.

  Next, in the upper right of the figure, when the player operates the “4” symbol, which is a right handed hand, the “4” symbol becomes ready to be discarded, and as a fact navigation at the time of discarding operation, , (5) is displayed. Next, in the lower left of the figure, when the “4” symbol is manipulated again and the discarding operation is executed, a game ball can be launched to perform self-restraint (the “x” has two “5” symbols). State). In the right part of the display area of the first effect display device 16, a display related to an instruction to fire a game ball toward the symbol entrance corresponding to the symbol “5” on the game board 2 (“Aim 5”) Display) and a display suggesting a range in the game board 2 that is easy to enter the symbol entrance corresponding to the “5” symbol are displayed as the self-indication instruction navigation. Next, since the game ball is launched and the game ball enters the symbol entrance corresponding to the symbol “5” (for example, the symbol entrance 13b), the second effect display device 10 establishes the BB role. Is displayed.

  Next, in the lower right of the figure, the first effect display device 16 displays that the BB role has been established, and the second effect display device 10 indicates that the BB role has been established as a character line. Is displayed (display “WIN !!”). With this configuration, when there is a BB combination other than “7, 7, 7”, it is possible to notify a situation where a BB combination other than “7, 7, 7” is likely to be established. At the same time, by configuring so that the hand thrown out as a table is executed only when the BB role is likely to be established, the case where the double-eye effect is executed is performed in the same manner as the battle effect described above. The degree of expectation of the formation of the BB role can be secured, and the player can continue to have a sense of expectation in the execution of the doublet effect.

  Moreover, in this example, it is configured to be able to execute the double eye effect only when the game is started and the game is distributed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. You may comprise so that a double-eyes production may be performed when it becomes two sheets. Further, in such a configuration, even when the BB pattern in which the hidden BB role exists is selected and the player is not informed of the hidden BB role, It may be configured to execute the double eye effect when the hidden BB combination is “5, 5, 5” (for example, when “5” symbol becomes two after self-execution). Similarly, the above-described battle effect may be configured to be executed at a timing after execution of self-restraint.

  Next, FIG. 24 is a mission effect execution image diagram according to the present embodiment. In the upper part of the figure, images displayed on the first effect display device 16 and the second effect display device 10 are illustrated in time series, and in the lower part of the figure, for each status (situations relating to operations and the like). Lists examples of characters that are displayed. The mission effect is an effect that is executed when a lottery to win with a predetermined probability is won when there is a possibility that a BB role will be established depending on the subsequent self-handling at the time when the game is distributed. Yes, it is an effect that supports the progress of the game for establishing the BB combination. The mission effect is configured to be executed when the above-described battle effect and the double-eyes effect are not executed. When it is executed, the expectation that the BB combination will be established is lower.

  First, the upper left of the figure shows a state in which the display of three manuals has been completed as an arrangement, and a discarding operation is possible, and the first effect display device 16 has “7, 5. 4” as an arrangement. It is displayed. At this point in time, there is a possibility that “7, 7, 7” may be established by executing two discard operations and two self-restraints, so that the mission effect is executed by winning the lottery. Become. Note that a discarding operation instruction navigation is displayed for the symbol “4”, which is the symbol with the smallest number in the table. Since the mission effect in the figure is an effect aiming to establish the BB role of “7, 7, 7”, the second effect display device 10 prompts the user to discard the symbol “4” (““ 4 "Please throw it away!" Is displayed as the character's line. Next, when the “4” symbol discard operation is executed in accordance with the message, a message indicating that the discard operation as instructed has been performed (“Yoshi! Next!”) Is displayed in the second effect display device. 10 is displayed.

  Next, after discarding the “4” symbol, when it becomes possible to launch a game ball to execute self-restraint, the first effect display device 16 displays “7” on the game board 2 as instruction navigation during self-restraint operation. "Indication related to an instruction to launch a game ball toward the symbol entrance corresponding to the symbol (indication of" Aim 7! ") And the range in the game board 2 that is easy to enter the symbol entrance A suggestion is displayed. In addition, the second effect display device 10 displays a dialogue (“Aim for“ 7 ”!”) Instructing to refrain from “7” symbols. Next, succeeding in self-restraint of the “7” symbol (the game ball enters the symbol entrance corresponding to the “7” symbol), then discarding the “5” symbol and self-restraining the “7” symbol. , “7 · 7 · 7” is displayed, and the first effect display device 16 displays that the BB role has been established (display “BB confirmed!”) And the second effect display device. At 10, a message to the effect that the mission production was successful (“Delivery complete!” Message) is displayed. In addition, the mission effect is configured to end when the possibility of establishing the BB role is lost. For example, the first abandonment operation is performed in the layout (“7.5.4”) shown in FIG. At the time of execution, if the “7” symbol is discarded against the mission direction instruction, “Bakamon! What are you doing!” Is displayed and the mission direction ends. (The line corresponding to the mission effect is not displayed thereafter in the game).

  Next, an example of a mission effect line at the bottom of the figure will be described. In the same figure, patterns 1 to 11 are shown. From the top, the statuses are “at the start of the discard operation”, “after the execution of the discard operation”, “at the time of preparation for launch”, and “the mission effect end and BB role Examples of lines displayed at “when established” are listed. Here, “at the start of the discard operation” means the time when the discard operation can be executed, “after the execution of the discard operation” means the time when the discard operation is executed, and “at the time of preparation for launch” Means the time when self-restraint operation (operation to launch a game ball) becomes possible, and “when mission effect ends and BB role is established” means the time point when BB role aimed at mission effect is established I mean.

  Next, a specific example at each status will be described. First, as a line displayed at the “start of discarding operation”, a line (“6” symbol or “5” symbol that instructs to discard the symbol “7” because the BB role of “7” symbol is established) “Discard“ 6 ”!”, “No need for“ 5 ”!”). Also, there is a line that can be executed when aiming to establish a BB role other than a doublet (for example, “4, 5, 6”) (this time, give up the doublet! “5” is thrown away!). . In addition, the instruction navigation at the time of discarding operation is displayed on the “7” symbol, and there is a dialogue (inevitable that “7” is abandoned!) Which instructs to establish the BB role by a symbol other than the “7” symbol. ing.

  Next, as the dialogue displayed after “discarding operation execution”, there are two remaining game balls that can be fired, and the dialog displayed when the discarding operation of the same design as the instruction navigation at the time of discarding operation is executed ( “Yoshi! Next!”, “I ’m going to be enthusiastic!”), And there are two game balls that can be fired in the same way. There is a line ("Bakamon! What are you doing!") Displayed when the discard operation is executed. In addition, when the game ball that can be fired is one ball, and the discard operation of the symbol different from the instruction navigation at the time of the discard operation is executed, the line that is displayed when there is no possibility that the BB role is established ("I still haven't enough training!").

  Next, as the dialogue displayed during “preparation for launch”, the navigation displayed when the discard operation instruction navigation is “7” symbol (“Aim at“ 7 ”!”) And the discard navigation instruction navigation However, there is a line displayed when the symbol is “4” (“Aim at“ 4 ”with left strike!”). Next, as a line displayed when “mission effect ends and BB role is established”, a line (“commission complete!”) Is displayed when the mission effect is completed and the BB role is established. Yes. On the other hand, when the mission effect is completed without the BB combination being established, the line is not displayed. These lines are configured such that the lines to be displayed are selected by lottery from lines that can be executed by satisfying the conditions set for each line. Note that which line is executed may be determined by lottery evenly from the executable lines, or the probability that a specific line is executed (the lottery that executes a specific line) (Probability of winning) may be a relatively high probability.

  In addition, in this example, although it comprised so that a mission effect could be performed when the execution conditions of a battle effect and a double eye effect are not satisfied, it is not limited to this, For example, a battle effect and a double eye effect As an execution mode, it is configured so that it is executed when a lottery is won, so that it is possible to execute a battle effect or a doublet effect (for example, two “7” symbols and two “6” symbols , Etc.), the mission effect may be executed.

  Next, FIG. 25 is a flowchart of the navigation operation display control process at the time of discarding operation according to the subroutine of step 5300 in FIG. First, in step 5302, the discarding display control unit 3130 determines whether or not a discarding operation start command (a command transmitted when the discarding operation can be executed) from the main control board 1000 side is received. . In the case of Yes in step 5302, in step 5304, the discarded display control unit 3130 determines whether or not the in-game effect of the game is a normal effect. In the case of Yes in step 5304, in step 5306, the throwing away display control means 3130 determines the throwing operation policy navigation based on the current hand information and the information related to the remaining number of balls, and determines the throwing operation policy thus determined. The navigation is executed by the second effect display device 10, and the process proceeds to Step 5308. In the case of No in step 5304, the process proceeds to step 5308. As described above, the present embodiment is configured to execute the discard-time policy navigation only when the in-game effect is a normal effect. Note that when other in-game effects (battle effects, doublet effects, mission effects) are executed, the second effect display device 10 wants to show the other in-game effects to the player. The time policy navigation effect is configured not to be executed. In addition, the self-sponsored policy navigation effect described later is also configured to be executed only when the in-game effect is a normal effect, and the abandoned operation policy navigator and the self-restraint policy navigator are collectively referred to as policy navigator. There is.

  Here, the upper part of FIG. 26 is a list of policy navigation at the time of discarding operation. As shown in the figure, there are seven patterns as the discard operation time policy navigation, and after determining the executable pattern based on the current manual information and the information on the remaining number of balls, from the executable pattern A navigation effect to be executed by lottery is determined. As shown in the figure, the policy navigation at the time of abandonment is intended to support the player's game, and how the player should proceed with the game by viewing the policy navigation at the time of the abandonment It will be easier to get an approximate idea about. Note that the same purpose is set for the self-time policy navigation described later. In the “Content” column in the figure, “XX” is a number. A detailed example will be given below. The production mode shown in the figure is merely an example, and there is no problem even if the type of production is increased or decreased and the content of the production is changed.

<Specific example 1>
If the hand at the point when the barb is dealt and the discarding operation can be performed (which is almost synonymous with the point when the bar is 3) is “skull / skull / four”, the role of Agari Therefore, the pattern 1 “Let's aim for XX in total!”, The pattern 2 “Let's aim for XX!”, The pattern 3 “Chance with XX!” And the pattern 4 Either “Let's aim at the circles of ○!” Or “Let's align ○○○!” Of pattern 5 will be executed, and the policy navigation at the time of discard operation to be executed from among the five patterns will be drawn Determined by. The numbers in “XX” are the Agari roles that are most profitable to the player among the Agari roles that may be aggressed from the current trick (in the case of Pattern 1, the Agari number with the largest total number). In the case of Pattern 2 or Pattern 5, it is configured to contain a number necessary to agitate (the Agari role, which is the largest number in the case of a pattern). ”Is the maximum number of possible steps by executing the two discarding operations and self-restraint from“ 7 · 7 · 4 ”, and the total number is“ 7 + 7 + 4 = 18 ” Therefore, in the case of pattern 1, “Let's aim for 18 in total!”. Also, in this example, the Agari role that is the most profitable to the player among the double-sided Agari roles that can be considered by executing two discard operations and self-restraint from “Skull, Skull, 4” is “4・ Because it is “4 · 4”, “Let's aim for 444!” In the case of Pattern 2, “Chance in 444!” In the case of Pattern 3, and “4 in the case of Pattern 4” “Let's aim!”, And in the case of pattern 5, “Let's align 444!”. In the case of the pattern 3, it may be configured such that the possibility that the agari role suggested is more than the pattern 2, the pattern 4 and the pattern 5 is a hidden BB role (by changing the lottery probability). Further, the present invention is not limited to such an execution mode, and it may be configured such that only the navigation that is most profitable to the player is executed, and when the game is distributed and the discarding operation can be performed (hand) (4/4) is the most profitable Agari role for the player who is considered to be “skull, skull, 4”. For this reason, any one of pattern 2 to pattern 5 may be executed.

<Specific example 2>
If the throwing operation can be executed (which is almost synonymous with the case where there are three bills) is “6, 6. 6”, the Agari role has already been established. For this reason, either “Push the Agari button!” In pattern 6 or “Get now! Navigation is determined by lottery. Since the number of payouts of the Agari combination corresponding to “6, 6.6” is 18, in the case of Pattern 6, “Get 18 now!

  Returning to the description of the flowchart of FIG. 25, in step 5308, the throwing away display control means 3130 determines a throwing operation instruction navigation on the basis of the current handing information and the information relating to the remaining number of balls, and the determined throwing away. The instruction navigation during operation is executed by the first effect display device 16, and the process proceeds to step 5310. Note that if the result is No in step 5302, the process proceeds to step 5310. Here, the instruction navigation at the time of the discarding operation will be described in detail later, but it is a production aspect that emits light so as to surround the handle that should be discarded at present, for the purpose of improving operability, By visually recognizing the instruction navigation at the time of the discarding operation, the player can instantly grasp the trick to execute the discarding operation, and can advance the game with a good tempo. Note that the instruction navigation at the time of discarding operation and the instruction navigation at the time of self-described later may be collectively referred to as instruction navigation.

  Next, in step 5310, the discarding display control unit 3130 determines whether or not a discard preparation start command from the main control board 1000 side has been received. In the case of Yes in step 5310, in step 5312, the throwing-off display control means 3130 determines the fact navigation at the time of throwing operation based on the current manual information and the information relating to the remaining number of balls, and the determined fact at the time of throwing operation The navigation is executed by the first effect display device 16, and the process proceeds to Step 5314. In addition, also when No in step 5310, the process proceeds to step 5314.

  Here, the lower part of FIG. 26 is a list of fact navigation at the time of discarding operation. As shown in the figure, there are seven patterns as fact navigation at the time of discarding operation. After determining the executable pattern based on the current manual information and the information on the remaining number of balls, from the executable pattern A navigation effect to be executed by lottery is determined. As shown in the drawing, the fact navigation at the time of the abandonment operation is intended to let the player grasp the game situation, and the player can perform the abandonment operation by visually checking the fact navigation at the time of the abandonment operation. In this case, it is possible to grasp what kind of gaming situation will occur when the discarding operation is executed. Note that the same purpose is used for the factual navigation at the time of self-restraint described later. In the “Content” column in the figure, “XX” is a number. It should be noted that the method of determining the contents of the direction of the discard navigation policy navigation, the discard navigation fact navigation, and the discard navigation navigation may be changed. For example, in the discard navigation policy navigation, the current manual information and the remaining ball After determining the executable pattern (production contents) based on the information related to the number (there are a plurality of executable patterns), it is decided to determine the policy navigation at the time of discarding operation to be executed by lottery from the executable pattern On the other hand, in the fact navigation at the time of the discarding operation and the instruction navigation at the time of the discarding operation, an executable pattern is determined as only one pattern based on the current manual information and the information on the remaining number of balls, and the executable discarding is performed. You may comprise so that an operation time fact navigation or a discard operation time instruction navigation may be performed. By configuring in this way, the fact navigation at the time of the abandonment operation is an effect aimed at allowing the player to accurately grasp the game situation, and the instruction navigation at the time of the abandonment operation is a game that should be discarded now The content of the production is uniquely determined, while the policy navigation at the time of the discarding operation is a fuzzy production aimed at supporting the player's game, so the content of the production can be selected from a plurality of selection candidates. Can be configured to be determined by lottery. Also, in such a configuration, the number of types of fact navigation at the time of discarding operation that can be executed and the number of types of instruction navigation at the time of discarding operation that can be executed are smaller than the number of types of policy navigation at the time of discarding operation that can be executed. You may comprise. In addition, the navigation at the time of self-operation, which will be described later, may be configured in the same way. It may be configured to execute a single production content. Also, the number of types of self-time fact navigation that can be executed and the number of types of self-time instruction navigation that can be executed may be smaller than the number of types of self-time policy navigation that can be executed. A detailed example will be given below. The production mode shown in the figure is merely an example, and there is no problem even if the type of production is increased or decreased and the content of the production is changed. Note that the fact navigation at the time of the discarding operation and the fact navigation at the time of self-described later may be collectively referred to as fact navigation.

<Specific example 1>
The hand at the time when the table is dealt and the discarding operation can be performed (which is almost synonymous with the time when the number of the hand is three) is “6.4.5” and “7.7”・ In the situation where “7” is the BB role, when the “4” symbol is operated to be in the discarding ready state, even if the “4” symbol is discarded, the possibility of forming the Agari role remains. In addition, since the BB role is not established by one self-restraint after that, either “Throw away and win at or above” in Pattern 2 or “Throw away and reach at ○ or ○” in Pattern 5 The fact navigation at the time of discarding operation to be executed from the two patterns is determined by lottery. Specifically, in the case of pattern 2, it is “discard and win a prize of 7 or more”, and in the case of pattern 5, it is “discard and reach 5 or 6”. Note that the reach indicates a state in which it becomes a doublet when one of the subsequent symbols is self-contained.

<Specific example 2>
The hand at the time when the barge is dealt and the disposal operation can be performed (which is almost synonymous with the time when there are three handboards) is “skull / skull / five”, and “7/7”・ In the situation where “7” is the BB role, if the “5” symbol is operated to be in the discarding ready state, the discarding operation of the “5” symbol will eliminate the possibility that the Agari role will be established. Either “-” of 1 and “No longer agile when discarded” or “No longer BB when abandoned” pattern 7 are executed. The fact navigation at the time of operation is determined by lottery.

<Specific example 3>
The hand at the time when the arrangement is dealt and the discarding operation can be executed (which is almost synonymous with the case where the number of the hand is 3) is “7.7.5”, and “7.7・ In the situation where “7” is the BB role, when the “5” symbol is operated to be in the preparation for discarding state, when the “5” symbol is discarded, the “BB” is displayed when the “7” symbol is concealed. Since the winning combination is established, “Throw away and BB over BB” of pattern 3 is executed. The pattern 3 may be configured to be “discarded and set to BB”. Specifically, in the case of pattern 3, it is “discarded and BB is 7”.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart of FIG. 25, in step 5314, the discard display control unit 3130 determines whether or not a discard operation end command has been received from the main control board 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 5314, in step 5316, the throwing away display control means 3130 ends the fact navigation at the time of the throwing operation being performed, and proceeds to step 5318. In the case of No in step 5314, the process proceeds to step 5318. Next, in step 5318, the discarding display control unit 3130 determines whether or not a discard preparation end command has been received from the main control board 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 5318, in step 5320, the discarding display control unit 3130 terminates the discard operation fact navigation that is being executed, and proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 5400). In the case of No in step 5318, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 5400). Here, the command reception timing will be described in detail with reference to the lower part of FIG. First, when the discard operation becomes executable, the sub control board 3000 receives a discard operation start command. By receiving the command, the discard operation time policy navigation and the discard operation time instruction navigation are started (or updated). After that, the player operates one of the handrails to make it ready for discarding (if the handbag contains a skull, it becomes the ready state for discarding without going through the player's operation). The board 3000 receives the discard preparation start command. By receiving the command, the fact navigation at the time of discarding operation is executed. Thereafter, when the discard operation is completed (when the discard preparation state is completed), the sub-control board 3000 receives a discard operation end command and a discard preparation end command. By receiving the command, the fact navigation at the time of the discarding operation and the instruction navigation at the time of the discarding operation are ended. Note that the policy navigation at the time of discarding operation is terminated (overwritten) when the policy navigation at the time of self-discussion described later is executed, the policy navigation at the time of the next discarding operation is executed, or the game being executed is ended. ) Is configured as follows.

  Next, FIG. 27 is an image of executing a navigation effect at the time of discarding operation in the present embodiment. First, as described above, the navigation effect at the time of the discard operation has three navigation effects of the policy navigation at the time of the discard operation, the fact navigation at the time of the discard operation, and the instruction navigation at the time of the discard operation, and the discard operation can be executed. At that time, the policy navigation at the time of the discard operation and the instruction navigation at the time of the discard operation start to be displayed, and the fact navigation at the time of the discard operation starts to be displayed when one of the steps is newly prepared for the discard operation. Become. First, (1) in the figure is an example of a discard operation time policy navigation, and the discard operation time policy navigation is a navigation effect displayed on the second effect display device 10 for the purpose of supporting a player's game. Will be executed. In the same figure, when the discard operation can be executed, the handbook is “6, 7, 4”, and two remaining game balls can be fired. Therefore, “7, which is the most profitable for the player” There remains a possibility that the Agari combination (BB combination) of “7, 7” will be established. For this reason, a line with the content “Let's aim at 777” is displayed as the policy navigation at the time of discarding operation. By visually recognizing the policy navigation at the time of the discarding operation, the player can grasp the Agari role to be aimed at in the current game. In addition, (2) in the figure is an example of the instruction navigation at the time of the discarding operation, and the instruction navigation at the time of the discarding operation is a navigation effect displayed on the first effect display device 16, which improves the operability of the player. The intended production will be executed. In the figure, as described above, there is still a possibility that the “7 / 7.7” Agari role (BB role), which is the most profitable for the player, will be established. Considering the case where a winning combination is not taken into account, it is advantageous for the player to have a larger sum of the numbers of the hand, so the “4” symbol is the most unnecessary hand. Therefore, a discard operation instruction navigation is displayed for the symbol “4” as a discard operation instruction navigation. Also, (3) in the figure is an example of the fact navigation at the time of the discarding operation, and the fact navigation at the time of the discarding operation is a navigation effect displayed on the first effect display device 16, and allows the player to grasp the game situation. An effect intended to be performed will be executed. Specifically, it is configured to display what happens when the game is thrown away when a certain hand is thrown into a ready state. In the figure, there remains a possibility that an Agari combination in which the sum of the numbers of the steps is “18” or more is established. For this reason, as the fact navigation at the time of the abandonment operation, it is configured to display a content of “discard, win 5 or more”. By visually recognizing the fact navigation at the time of the discarding operation, the player can grasp what happens to the subsequent game situation by executing the discarding operation on the hand that is in the discarding preparation state. The policy navigation at the time of discarding operation is terminated (overwritten) when the next policy navigation at the time of self-restraint is executed, the policy navigation at the time of the next disposal operation is executed, or the game being executed is terminated. ) Is configured as follows. Further, the fact navigation at the time of the discarding operation and the instruction navigation at the time of the discarding operation are configured to end when the discarding operation is executed.

  Next, FIG. 28 is a flowchart of the self-contained navigation effect display control process according to the subroutine of step 5400 in FIG. First, in step 5402, the self-display display control unit 3120 determines whether or not a self-contained navigation start command is received from the main control board 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 5402, in step 5403, the self-display display control means 3120 determines whether or not the in-game effect of the game is a normal effect. In the case of Yes in step 5403, in step 5404, the self-display display control means 3120 determines the self-time policy navigation based on the current manual information and information relating to the remaining number of balls, and the determined self-time policy navigation is determined. This is executed by the second effect display device 10, and the process proceeds to step 5406. Note that if the result of Step 5403 is No, the process proceeds to Step 5406. As described above, the present embodiment is configured to execute the self-restraint policy navigation only while the in-game effect is being executed. When other in-game effects (battle effects, double eye effects, mission effects) are executed, the second effect display device 10 wants to show the other in-game effects to the player. The policy navigation effect is configured not to be executed.

  Here, the upper part of FIG. 29 is a self-restricted policy navigation list. As shown in the figure, there are seven patterns as self-restraint policy navigation, and after determining the executable pattern based on the current manual information and the information related to the remaining number of balls, lottery from the executable pattern The navigation effect to be executed is determined. Since the production mode and the like are the same as those of the abandonment operation policy navigation described above, a detailed description is omitted.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart of FIG. 28, in step 5406, the self-display display control unit 3120 determines the self-time fact navigation based on the current manual information and the information related to the remaining number of balls, and the self-contained time thus determined. The fact navigation is executed by the first effect display device 16.

  Here, the lower part of FIG. 29 is a list of fact navigation at the time of self-restraint. As shown in the figure, it has three patterns as a factual navigation at the time of self-restraint, and after determining the executable pattern based on the current manual information and the information related to the remaining number of balls, lottery from the executable pattern The navigation effect to be executed is determined. As shown in the figure, the self-situation fact navigation is intended to allow the player to grasp the game situation, and the player can self-recognize which hand (symbol) by recognizing the self-situation fact navigation. You will be able to figure out. The production mode shown in the figure is merely an example, and there is no problem even if the type of production is increased or decreased and the content of the production is changed.

<Specific example 1>
At the time when the game ball can be launched to execute self-restraint (which is almost synonymous with the time when the number of hands is three), “6.4” and “7.7”・ In the situation where 7 is the BB role, if you refrain from the “6” symbol, you will reach the “6” symbol, and if you refrain from five or more symbols, there is a possibility that the Agari role will be established. Therefore, either “safe at ○” of pattern 1 or “chance at ○” of pattern 2 is executed, and the factual navigation at the time of self-execution to be executed from the two patterns is determined by lottery. . Specifically, in the case of the pattern 1, “567 is safe”, and in the case of the pattern 5, “6 is a chance”.

<Specific example 2>
At the time when a game ball can be fired to execute self-restraint (which is almost synonymous with the time when there are three hands), “7.7” is indicated, and “7.7”・ In the situation where 7 ”is the BB role, if you refrain from the“ 7 ”symbol, it will be an agari of the BB role, so the“ 3, BB ”of pattern 3 will be executed. “7 is BB”.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart of FIG. 28, in step 5408, the self-display display control unit 3120 determines the self-time instruction navigation based on the current manual information and the information related to the remaining number of balls, and the self-determination time thus determined. The instruction navigation is executed by the first effect display device 16, and the process proceeds to step 5410. Note that if the result is No in step 5402, the process proceeds to step 5410. Here, self-instruction instruction navigation, which will be described in detail later, is an effect mode that indicates a range (region) in the game board 2 that is easy to enter the symbol entrance that should be aimed at as a means to present itself. . Self-speaking instruction navigation aims to improve operability, and by visually recognizing the self-speaking instruction navigation, the player can instantly grasp the range to be aimed at when launching a game ball, and the game can be played at a high tempo. Will be able to proceed.

  Next, in step 5410, the self-display display control unit 3120 determines whether or not a self-contained navigation end command has been received from the main control board 1000 side. In the case of Yes in step 5410, in step 5412, the self-display display control means 3120 ends the self-contained factual navigation being executed. Next, in step 5414, the self-display display control unit 3120 ends the self-instruction for self-restraint being executed, and proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 5500). In addition, also in the case of No in step 5410, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 5500). Here, the command reception timing will be described in detail with reference to the lower part of FIG. First, when a game ball can be launched as a self-sufficient operation, the sub-control board 3000 receives a self-sufficient navigation start command. By receiving the command, the self-time policy navigation, self-time fact navigation, and self-time instruction navigation are started (or updated). Thereafter, when the self-control operation is completed (a new game ball enters the symbol entrance), the sub-control board 3000 receives a self-navigation end navigation command. By receiving the command, the self-sufficing fact navigation and the self-speaking instruction navigation are ended. The self-sufficiency policy navigation is terminated (overwritten) by executing the above-described discard operation time policy navigation, executing the next self-sufficiency policy navigation, or ending the running game. It is configured as follows.

  Next, FIG. 30 is a self-contained navigation effect execution image diagram in the present embodiment. First, as described above, the navigation effect at the time of self-restraint has three navigation effects of self-sufficiency policy navigation, self-sufficiency facts navigation, and self-sufficiency instruction navigation, and launch of game balls to execute self-sufficiency When the navigation becomes possible, the three navigations are displayed at the same time (the display start timing of the three navigations does not have to be simultaneous). First, (1) in the figure is an example of the self-restraint policy navigation, and the self-responsibility policy navigation is a navigation effect displayed on the second effect display device 10 for the purpose of supporting the player's game. The production will be executed. In the figure, the game ball for launching self-restraint is “6.7”, and the remaining 2 game balls can be fired. There remains a possibility that the Agari role (BB role) of “7. For this reason, a dialogue with the content “Let's aim at 777” is displayed as the policy navigation at the time of self-restraint. By visually recognizing the self-restraint policy navigation, the player can grasp the Agari combination to be aimed at in the current game. Also, (2) in the figure is an example of the fact navigation at the time of self-restraint, and the fact navigation at the time of self-resisting is a navigation effect displayed on the first effect display device 16, and allows the player to grasp the game situation. The intended production will be executed. In the figure, as described above, there is a possibility that the “7 / 7.7” Agari combination (BB combination) that is most profitable for the player is established. Therefore, as the fact navigation at the time of self-restriction, the display of the content of “chance at 7” is displayed in the area where the hand reluctance will be displayed next time. By visually recognizing the fact navigation at the time of self-restraint, the player can recognize the trick to be self-recognized by the current launch of the game ball and can grasp which Agari role can be aimed at in the current game. In addition, (3) in the figure is an example of the instruction navigation at the time of self-restraint, and the instruction navigation at the time of self-resisting is a navigation effect displayed on the first effect display device 16 for the purpose of improving the operability of the player. The produced performance will be executed. In the figure, as described above, there is a possibility that the “7 / 7.7” Agari combination (BB combination) that is most profitable for the player is established. Therefore, the content of “Aim at 7!” Is displayed as the instruction navigation at the time of self-restraint, and the central portion of the game board 2 where the game ball easily enters the symbol entrance corresponding to the symbol “7” is displayed. A display prompting the user to launch a game ball will be displayed. By visually recognizing the instruction navigation at the time of self-restraint, the player recognizes the procedure to be self-recognized by the current launch of the game ball, and which position on the game board 2 should be aimed at by the current launch of the game ball Can be grasped. The self-sufficiency policy navigation is ended (overwritten) when the next self-sufficiency policy navigator is executed, the next abandonment operation policy navigator is executed, or the running game is ended. It is configured as follows. In addition, the self navigation self fact navigation and the self instruction self navigation are configured to end when a game ball enters one of the entrances, that is, when self-play is executed.

  With the configuration as described above, according to the sparrow ball game machine according to the present embodiment, the number of payouts due to Agari during the BB is set to 30 which is the maximum payout number, and the maximum due to Agari during the BB Unlike the normal gaming state, the agari role with the highest payout number for the player can be obtained by configuring it so that it automatically becomes agari without operating the agari button when the agari role that becomes the payout number is established. It can be configured to automatically become agull (game end) without going through the agari button only during the BB that is likely to be established, and automatically execute the game automatically without considering complicated conditions Can do. In addition, by configuring the game to be automatically ended by agari during BB, the player can progress the game at a higher tempo, and a user-friendly gaming machine can be obtained.

  Further, according to the sparrow ball game machine according to the present embodiment, in one game, a policy navigation effect (abandoned policy navigation effect, self-restraint policy navigation effect) for the purpose of supporting the player's game, Factual navigator production aimed at letting the player understand the game situation (actual navigation production at the time of abandonment, factual navigation production at the time of self-restraint) and directed navigation production for the purpose of improving the operability for the player (abandonment) By constructing to execute three types of different navigation effects, such as time-instructed navigation effects and self-instructed instruction navigation effects), the player can progress the game more smoothly when proceeding with the game. As a result of the various performances, the fun of the game is enhanced.

  In addition, according to the sparrow ball game machine according to the present embodiment, the BB pattern is determined by lottery for each game, and three games determined by the lottery are distributed at the start of the game. Thus, a game advantageous to the player and a disadvantageous game are generated. Whether or not to execute a battle effect, a doublet effect, or a mission effect as an in-game effect by a combination of the game's BB pattern and the three games of the game when the game is executed Is determined to be a special stage effect during the game, which is different from the normal stage, such as a battle stage, a doublet stage stage, or a mission stage. Or the expectation that the BB role in the game where the production has occurred can be secured in a high state, and the player feels that the production with the high expectation has occurred, It is possible to prevent the occurrence of a situation that seriously impairs the fun of the game, such as frequent occurrences where the Agari role cannot be established due to a bad situation. ® hoping the generation of emissions performance will be traveling through the game, enjoyment of the game becomes more enhanced it.

  Also, in the sparrow ball game machine in this example, when the Agari role is established when the second self-restraint is completed, that is, when the remaining number of game balls that can be fired becomes zero. However, the present invention is not limited to this, but may be configured to automatically become agile without operating the agary button. If the number of remaining game balls that can be fired is 0 and the Agari role has been established in a situation where self-restraint cannot be performed, it is most profitable for the player to play with the current procedure. Since it becomes deterministic, it is configured so that when the remaining number of game balls that can be fired is 0, the player does not need to bother to operate the Agari button, and the tempo at which the game proceeds As the game becomes faster, the stress during the game can be reduced. It should be noted that, even during the period during which the first abandonment operation can be performed or during the period during which the second abandonment operation can be performed, if the most profitable Agari combination is established for the player, it is automatically configured to be agari. May be.

(Modification 1 from this embodiment)
Here, in this embodiment, when the number of game balls that can be fired is 0 and the Agari combination is not established, the case where the Agari combination that is the maximum payout number in the BB is established, and launch is possible If there is no possibility that the Agari role will be established even if self-restraint is executed for the number of game balls, the game being executed is automatically terminated (the game is terminated without the player operating the button such as Agari button). However, the conditions under which the game is automatically ended may be increased in order to make the game progress more smoothly. Therefore, such a configuration will be described as a first modification from the present embodiment, and only changes from the present embodiment will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 31 is a flowchart of non-BB game execution control processing according to the subroutine of Step 3500 of FIG. 10 in Modification 1 from the present embodiment. The changes from the present embodiment are step 3515 (modified 1) and step 3537 (modified 1). That is, in step 3514, if an agari combination is established in the current procedure, step 3515 (modified 1). In 1), the game control means 1900 determines whether or not the Agari combination established in the current procedure is the Agari combination that becomes the BB combination. In the case of Yes in Step 3515 (Modification 1), in Step 3516, the game control means 1900 determines whether or not the Agari button 24 is operated, and in the case of No in Step 3515 (Modification 1). In step S3540 and subsequent steps, the processing after agitation is executed.

  Also, in step 3536, if the Agari combination is established with the current manual, the game control means 1900 determines that the Agari combination established with the current manual is the BB combination in Step 3537 (Modified 1). It is determined whether or not it is an Agari role. In the case of Yes in Step 3515 (Modification 1), in Step 3538, the game control means 1900 determines whether or not the Agari button 24 is operated, and in the case of No in Step 3515 (Modification 1). In step S3700 and subsequent steps, processing after agitation is executed.

  With the configuration as described above, according to the sparrow ball gaming machine according to the first modification from the present embodiment, when the BB combination is established in the normal gaming state (not in the BB state), the agari button In the situation where it is definite that the operation of the agari button 24 is the most advantageous operation for the player, the operation of the agary button 24 is not performed. The game can be configured to automatically become agile, the tempo of the progress of the game can be made smoother, and the automatic end of the game can be executed only at an appropriate timing in the progress of the game. it can.

  In the sparrow ball game machine in this example, three navigation effects, a policy navigation at the time of the discarding operation, a fact navigation at the time of the discarding operation, and an instruction navigation at the time of the discarding operation, can be executed as a navigation effect at the time of the discarding operation. Although the presentation mode of the time policy navigation and the discard navigation fact navigation is determined by lottery, it is not limited to this, and the rendering mode of the discard navigation fact navigation and the discard navigation instruction navigation is the player May be configured to execute only the production mode in which the highest profit is obtained, and may be configured to execute only the policy navigation at the time of the discarding operation by lottery. By configuring in that way, it is possible to separate and configure the navigation effect like the policy navigation at the time of abandonment operation that suggests the game policy, the fact navigation at the time of the abandonment operation to pursue the profit and the instruction navigation at the time of the abandonment operation , You can add more sharpness to the navigation production. Similarly, for the three navigation effects of self-sufficiency policy navigation, self-sufficiency facts navigation, and self-sufficiency instruction navigation, which are navigational effects during self-sufficiency, only the self-sufficiency policy navigation is determined to be determined by lottery. May be.

  Next, the operation of the sparrow ball game machine according to this example will be described in time series.

《Game start》
First, a game (game) is started when a predetermined number (three) of medals are inserted or when a bet button is pressed and three medals are bet.

《Dishes》
Next, in the present embodiment, three arrangements are automatically distributed at the start of the game. In this state, when the Agari combination is established, the Agari button 24 is operated to change to Agari. Also, if there is no possibility of agari at the time when three pieces are dealt (if there is no possibility of becoming agari even after repeating the abandonment operation twice) The game ends.

《First Abandoned Trap》
In this embodiment, after the arrangement of the three pieces is completed in this way, it is possible to execute the self-balling twice after discarding one piece. Under such gameability, when the player operates any one of the left button 19a, the middle button 19b, and the right button 19c, the bag corresponding to the button enters the discarding ready state, and corresponds to the handbook in the discarding ready state. When the left button 19a, middle button 19b, or right button 19c is operated, the eyelid corresponding to the button disappears from the handaxe. If a “skull” symbol is present on the hand, the skull symbol is ready for disposal even if the player does not operate any of the left button 19a, middle button 19b, and right button 19c. Yes.

《First self-restraint》
Thereafter, one game ball is supplied to the launching device. Then, the player operates the game ball launch lever 4 to release the ball to the game area. This released game ball enters one of the symbol entrances. In addition, when entering into any of the entrances, the self-guided hand is displayed on the main display device 36 on the main control board 1000 side and the first effect display device 16 on the sub control board 3000 side. In this state, when the Agari combination is established, the Agari button 24 is operated to change to Agari.

《Second Discarding Trap》
In this embodiment, after the first self-restraint is completed, one ball can be self-restrained after discarding one piece. When the player operates any one of the left button 19a, the middle button 19b, and the right button 19c, the bag corresponding to the button is in a discarding ready state, and the left button 19a and the middle button 19b corresponding to the handbill in the discarding ready state. When any of the right buttons 19c is operated, the wrinkle corresponding to the button disappears from the hand.

《Second self-restraint》
Thereafter, one game ball is supplied to the launching device. Then, the player operates the game ball launch lever 4 to release the ball to the game area. This released game ball enters one of the symbol entrances. In addition, when entering into any of the entrances, the self-handed hand is displayed on the main display device 36 on the main control board 1000 side and the first effect display device 16 on the sub control board side. In this state, when the Agari combination is established, the Agari button 24 is operated to change to Agari.

"Game over"
In the present embodiment, the game (game) ends when the agari button is pressed in a state where the agari combination is established. Further, the game is automatically ended when the number of game balls that can be fired is 0 and the Agari combination is not established. One game is from the game start to the game end. Note that the condition for ending the game is not limited to the configuration of this example. For example, it is configured to have a game end button, the Agari combination is not established, and the number of game balls that can be launched is not 0. Even in a situation where the number of game balls that can be fired remains, the game may be ended by operating the game end button.

《Special game》
Here, when a predetermined Agari combination (BB combination) has been prepared (in this embodiment, the Agari button 24 is pressed when the BB combination is established. In the first modification from the present embodiment, automatically when the BB combination is established. After that, the game enters the special game state (BB). The number of game balls that can be launched in one game, which was two in the normal game state (the state that is not in the BB is called the normal game state), increases from the next game after the game with the BB role to 15 . In the normal gaming state, three cards are distributed as a game at the start of the game, but during BB, no game is distributed at the start of the game. It will be self-confidence. In addition, when the game state is shifted to the special game state (BB) (for example, the game state is changed to the special game state from the next game that becomes agile in “7, 7, 7”), the game is given to the special entrance operation gate 12. When the ball flows in, the special entrance 11 is opened. When a game ball enters the special entrance 11 in the open state, the player can always hold the “7” symbol which is the most advantageous symbol for the player. Also, in the special game state, the maximum number of payouts for all Agari roles is 30, and approximately 30 medals are paid out every game, so a large number of medals can be obtained by entering the special game state. can do. Further, in the special game state, when the maximum payout number of Agari winnings is established, the Agari button 24 is automatically operated without operating.

  Note that the sparrow ball gaming machine according to this example may be configured to be playable as a gaming machine application, or may be configured as follows.

  Mobile communication terminals such as portable high-performance phones (so-called smart phones), other types of mobile phones (so-called feature phones), tablet terminals, etc. In such a configuration, a mobile communication terminal whose display is a touch panel may be used. When the mobile communication terminal display is a touch panel, the launcher, agari button, BET button, left button, middle button, right button, etc. can all be operated in a pseudo manner by operating (touching) the touch panel. It may be configured. In addition, medals are also stored electronically, and in the same manner as the above-described credits, medals and credits may be configured to be stored electronically. In this example, the first effect display device 16 and the second effect display device 10 are configured to display effects and the like. However, the first effect display device 16 and the second effect display device 10 execute the display. An effect similar to the effect to be performed may be configured to be appropriately displayed in accordance with the size of the display area of the display of the mobile communication terminal.

(Summary)
