Description

従来より、複数の入賞口が設けられた遊技領域へ、遊技媒体を発射手段により発射し、その遊技媒体がいずれかの入賞口に入賞すると、入賞した入賞口に対して予め定められた数の遊技媒体が遊技者に払い出される遊技機がある（例えば、特許文献１）。
この種の遊技機において、対応する入賞口へ入賞した遊技媒体を検知する複数の所定検知手段と、その複数の所定検知手段と電気的に接続され、遊技に対する遊技価値を付与するための処理を実行する遊技価値付与手段と、遊技価値付与手段と電気的に接続され、所定の処理を実行する処理実行手段とを設けたものが知られている。遊技価値付与手段には、遊技に対する遊技価値を付与するための処理に用いられる情報であって、所定検出手段の検出に対して参照される参照用情報が予め記憶される。この参照用情報は、遊技機の機種ごとに異なるものである。 Conventionally, when a game medium is launched into a game area provided with a plurality of winning openings by a launching means and the gaming medium wins a prize in any of the winning openings, a predetermined number of winning openings are used. There is a gaming machine in which a gaming medium is paid out to a player ( for example, Patent Document 1).
In this type of gaming machine, a plurality of predetermined detection means for detecting a game medium that has won a prize in a corresponding winning opening, and a process for electrically connecting the plurality of predetermined detection means to add game value to the game. It is known that a game value-giving means to be executed and a process executing means electrically connected to the game value-giving means to execute a predetermined process are provided. The game value-giving means stores information for reference in advance, which is information used for processing for adding game value to a game and is referred to for detection of a predetermined detection means. This reference information differs depending on the model of the gaming machine.

なお、上記各実施形態に記載の「球」が特許請求の範囲の「遊技媒体」に対応し、上記各実施形態に記載の「役物比率」が特許請求の範囲の「払出手段により払い出された前記遊技媒体の数に対する、前記第１入賞口への入賞に基づいて払い出された前記遊技媒体の数の比率」に対応し、上記各実施形態に記載の「連続役物比率」が特許請求の範囲の「払出手段により払い出された前記遊技媒体の数に対する、前記第２入賞口への入賞に基づいて払い出された前記遊技媒体の数の比率」に対応する。
（その他）
従来より、複数の入賞口が設けられた遊技領域へ、遊技媒体を発射手段により発射し、その遊技媒体がいずれかの入賞口に入賞すると、入賞した入賞口に対して予め定められた数の遊技媒体が遊技者に払い出される遊技機がある。また、入賞口の一部には、役物が設けられ、その役物の作動によって遊技媒体の入賞に影響が及ぼされるものがある（例えば、特許文献１：特開２００３－３４００４６号公報）。
さて、不正行為者の中には、役物が設けられた入賞口の該役物を不正に作動させたり、その入賞口へ遊技媒体が入賞するように誘導したりして、役物が設けられた入賞口への入賞を増やそうとするものがいる。しかしながら、このような不正行為を発見する対応が不十分である。
本技術的思想は、上記事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、不正行為の発見を好適に行うことが可能な遊技機を提供することを目的とする。 The "ball" described in each of the above embodiments corresponds to the "game medium" in the claims, and the "feature ratio" described in each of the above embodiments corresponds to the "payment means" in the claims. The "continuous bonus ratio" described in each of the above embodiments corresponds to the "ratio of the number of the game media paid out based on the winning of the first winning opening to the number of the game media". It corresponds to "the ratio of the number of the game media paid out based on the prize to the second winning opening to the number of the game media paid out by the payout means" in the claims.
(others)
Conventionally, when a game medium is launched into a game area provided with a plurality of winning openings by a launching means and the gaming medium wins a prize in any of the winning openings, a predetermined number of winning openings are used. There is a gaming machine in which the gaming medium is paid out to the player. In addition, some of the winning openings are provided with an accessory, and the operation of the accessory affects the winning of the game medium (for example, Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-340046).
By the way, among the fraudulent actors, the character is provided by illegally operating the character in the prize opening where the character is provided, or by inducing the game medium to win a prize in the prize opening. There are those who try to increase the winnings to the winning openings. However, the response to discover such fraudulent activity is insufficient.
This technical idea was made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a gaming machine capable of suitably detecting fraudulent acts.
