Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention prevents an illegal operation due to a so-called "bulg board" that illegally hits a pachinko machine by externally controlling the acquisition timing of the value of the count used in the hit determination. Regarding pachinko machines.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a pachinko machine, each operation processing program such as fluorescent tube display data transfer processing, switch input processing, hit determination processing, etc. is sequentially executed for each reset signal generated at fixed intervals due to a hardware configuration. Running the pachinko machine by running it. In the hit determination process, the hit determination is performed based on the value of the count that changes for each reset signal.

For example, in the case of a type 1 pachinko machine, it is determined whether or not the count value acquired when a pachinko ball enters the first starting opening is a preset "hit value". By doing so, the hit determination process is performed.

Therefore, when the value of the count that changes for each reset signal is the "hit value", the pachinko machine cannot be hit unless the pachinko ball enters the first starting opening. Also, the reset signal is "msec"
Since the player cannot recognize the value of the count that is occurring at a fixed interval of the unit and changes in the unit of "msec", the player is the first to aim at the time when the value of the count is the "winning value". It is impossible to insert a pachinko ball into the starting opening. That is, from the player's side, in order to put the pachinko machine into a hit state, there is no method other than inserting the pachinko balls into the first starting opening one after another, in other words,
Whether or not the “hit value” was acquired as the value of the count used in the hit determination process was greatly influenced by the chance of the pachinko ball entering the first starting opening.

[0005]

However, the count value used in the hit determination process is periodically within a certain range by adding a certain addition value for each reset signal generated at a certain interval. And, since it changes sequentially, the time when the count value changes to the "hit value" will come periodically, and some hardware should recognize the time when the count value becomes the "hit value". If you can
After that, it is possible to predict the time when the count value becomes the "winning value".

In recent years, a so-called "hanging board" is illegally connected to the main board, and when the count value reaches the "hit value" is recognized by the hardware configuration, and the count value is the "hit value". At the time when it is predicted that it will be, a signal indicating that a pachinko ball has entered the first starting opening is transmitted to the main board, and the “hit value” is acquired as the count value used in the hit determination process. As a result, there has been a lot of fraudulent activity in which the pachinko machine is hit, and there is a need to prevent such fraud.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and makes it impossible to externally predict the change in the value of the count used in the hit determination process. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a pachinko machine in which a fraudulent act due to a so-called "hanging board" is prevented.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The pachinko machine according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The pachinko machine of the first embodiment is a first type pachinko machine. The pachinko machine itself is operated by sequentially executing each operation processing program for each "reset interrupt" which is a reset signal and is generated at fixed intervals of "msec" by the hardware configuration.

First, before describing the operation of the pachinko machine according to the first embodiment, a hit determination process, which is one of the action processing programs, will be described. In the pachinko machine of the first embodiment, in order to perform the hit determination,
A first count RND which is a variable is provided in the RAM. The first count RND starts from the value "AX" when the power is turned on, and thereafter, the value "N1" that is the addition value N is added for each "reset interrupt" that occurs at a constant interval of "msec", When it becomes "AY", it is rewritten to the value "AX" and changes between the value "AX" and the value "AY" which is the first range. It should be noted that such a change in the value of the first count RND is performed by executing the processing of the first count update of S7 of FIG. 1 described later every “reset interrupt”.

In this way, the value "N1" is added for each "reset interrupt", so that the value "AX" is changed to the value "A".
The first counting RND that changes cyclically and sequentially between "Y"
Is obtained when a pachinko ball enters the first starting opening, and the hit determination process is performed depending on whether the obtained value matches the value “AM” preset as the “hit value”. ing. The process of the hit determination is shown in FIG.
It is executed for each "reset interrupt" as one of the operation processing programs in S6. In addition, the operation of acquiring the value of the first count RND is to judge whether or not a pachinko ball has entered the first starting opening for each "reset interrupt" and determine that the pachinko ball has entered the first starting opening. Only when it is judged, the reset interrupt is performed.

Next, the operation of the pachinko machine of the first embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, in the pachinko machine according to the first embodiment, each operation processing program is sequentially executed for each "reset interrupt" generated at a constant interval of "msec". That is, when a "reset interrupt" occurs, it is determined in S1 whether or not the current "reset interrupt" is the one immediately after the power is turned on.

When it is determined that the current "reset interrupt" is one immediately after the power is turned on (S1: Yes), S
In 3, the RAM is initialized by performing processing such as substituting the value “AX” for the first count RND. Then, in S5, the processing of the second count update is executed as a part of the operation processing program.

Now, the process of updating the second count in S5 will be described with reference to FIG. In the process of updating the second count (S5 of FIG. 1), the second count SYC, which is a variable provided in the RAM, is changed between the value “AX” and the value “AY” that are the first range. . That is, as shown in FIG. 2, in S20, the second count SYC is equal to the value “A
If it is determined that the second count SYC is greater than or equal to the value "AY" (S20: Ye
s), in S21, the value "AX" is assigned to the second count SYC, while if it is determined that the second count SYC is not greater than or equal to the value "AY" (S20: No), the second count SYC is determined in S22. The value "N1" is added to. In this way, the process of updating the second count (S5 of FIG. 1) that changes the second count SYC between the value “AX” and the value “AY” is new after the execution of S3 of FIG. It is repeatedly performed within the waiting time until the reset signal is generated.

Returning to FIG. 1, when it is determined that the current "reset interrupt" is not the one immediately after the power is turned on (S1:
No), in S2, a part of the operation processing program such as the fluorescent tube display data transfer processing is sequentially executed, and in S6, a part of the operation processing program such as the hit determination processing and the stop symbol creation processing is sequentially executed. To S7,
The process of updating the first count is executed as a part of the operation processing program.

Now, the process of updating the first count in S7 will be described with reference to FIG. In the process of updating the first count (S7 in FIG. 1), the first count RND, which is a variable provided in the RAM, is changed between the value “AX” and the value “AY” that are the first range. . That is, as shown in FIG. 3, in S30, the value "N" is added to the first count RND.
1 ”is added, and then in S31, the first count RN
Only when it is determined whether D is greater than or equal to the value “AY + N1” and the first count RND is greater than or equal to the value “AY + N1” (S31: Yes), the first count RN is determined in S32.
The value "(AY-AX) + N1" is subtracted from D. Such first
When the count update process (S7 in FIG. 1) is executed, the process proceeds to S8 in FIG.

In S8 of FIG. 1, it is determined whether or not a hit is determined in the hit determination process in S6 in the current "reset interrupt", and it is determined that a hit is determined in the hit determination process. If it does (S8:
Yes), in S9, the second count S is added to the first count RND.
After substituting the value of YC, the process proceeds to S10. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the hit is determined in the hit determination process (S8: No), the process proceeds to S10 without doing anything.

In next step S10, the second count updating process similar to the second count updating process in S5 described above is performed (see FIG. 2). Similar to S5, the second count update process (S10) of changing the second count SYC between the value “AX” and the value “AY” is performed by a new reset signal after the execution of S8 or S9 is completed. Is repeated within the waiting time until the occurrence of.

As described in detail above, in the pachinko machine according to the first embodiment, the current "reset interrupt" is generated immediately after the power is turned on for each "reset interrupt" generated at regular intervals of "msec". When it is determined that the reset interrupt is present (S1: Yes), the operation processing programs of S3 and S5 are sequentially executed, and the current "reset interrupt" is not determined to be immediately after power-on. In this case (S1: No), the pachinko machine is operating by sequentially executing the operation processing programs of S2 and S6 to S10 (see FIG. 1). In the certain hit determination process (S6), the process is performed based on the value of the first count RND acquired when the pachinko ball enters the first starting opening.

At this time, as a general rule, the first count RND changes cyclically and sequentially from the value "AX" to the value "AY" by adding the value "N1" for each "reset interrupt". (S7 in FIG. 1, S30 to S3 in FIG. 3)
2). In addition, the second count SYC is set to a new value after the execution of S8 or S9 is completed within the waiting time from the completion of the execution of S3 in FIG. 1 to the generation of a new reset signal (S5). Within the waiting time until the reset signal is generated (S10), the value "AX" to the value "AY"
Have changed between. It should be noted that each of the operation processing programs such as S2, S3, and S6 may or may not be executed depending on the status of the pachinko machine, and the waiting time for each "reset interrupt" is random, so the second counting SYC It is impossible to predict the change in value from the outside.

Further, in the hit determination process in S6, when it is determined that the hit is determined (S8: Y
es), by substituting the value of the second count SYC into the first count RND (S9), the value of the first count RND is jumped and changed from the value at the time of substitution to the value of the second count SYC. It is also impossible to predict the change in the value of the first count RND from the outside.

That is, the pachinko machine of the first embodiment changes the value of the first count RND on the basis of the second count SYC, the change of which cannot be predicted from the outside. Since it is impossible to predict the change in the value of the first count RND used for the external, it is possible to prevent the illegal action due to the so-called "hanging board".

Next, a pachinko machine according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The pachinko machine of the second embodiment is a type 1 pachinko machine. The pachinko machine itself is operated by sequentially executing each operation processing program for each "reset interrupt" which is a reset signal and is generated at fixed intervals of "msec" by the hardware configuration.

First, before explaining the operation of the pachinko machine of the second embodiment, a hit determination process, which is one of the action processing programs, will be described. In the pachinko machine of the second embodiment, for the processing of hit determination,
A first count RND which is a variable is provided in the RAM. The first count RND starts from the value "AX" when the power is turned on, and thereafter, the addition value N is added to each "reset interrupt" generated at a constant interval of "msec", and the value "AX" is added.
When it becomes "Y", it is rewritten to the value "AX", and changes from the value "AX" in the first range to the value "AY".
It should be noted that such a change in the value of the first count RND is performed by executing the process of the first count update of S47 of FIG. 4 described later every “reset interrupt”.

In this way, the first count RND that cyclically and sequentially changes from the value "AX" to the value "AY" by adding the additional value N for each "reset interrupt"
When a pachinko ball enters the starting opening, it is acquired, and the hit determination process is performed depending on whether or not the acquired value matches the value “AM” preset as the “hit value”. The hit determination processing is executed for each "reset interrupt" as one of the operation processing programs in S46 of FIG. 4 described later. In addition, the operation of acquiring the value of the first count RND is to judge whether or not a pachinko ball has entered the first starting opening for each "reset interrupt" and determine that the pachinko ball has entered the first starting opening. Only when it is judged, the reset interrupt is performed.

Next, the operation of the pachinko machine of the second embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, in the pachinko machine of the second embodiment, each operation processing program is sequentially executed for each "reset interrupt" that occurs at regular intervals of "msec". That is, when a "reset interrupt" occurs, it is determined in S41 whether or not the current "reset interrupt" is immediately after the power is turned on.

When it is determined that the current "reset interrupt" is one immediately after the power is turned on (S41: Yes),
In S43, the RAM is initialized by performing processing such as substituting the value "AX" for the first count RND. Then, in S45, the processing of the second count update is executed as a part of the operation processing program.

Now, the process of updating the second count in S45 will be described with reference to FIG. In the process of updating the second count (S45 in FIG. 4), the second count CTN, which is a variable provided in the RAM, is changed between the value "BX" and the value "BY". That is, as shown in FIG.
At 0, it is determined whether or not the second counting CTN is greater than or equal to the value “BY”, and when it is determined that the second counting CTN is greater than or equal to the value “BY” (S50: Yes), at S51, While substituting the value "BX" into the 2 count CTN, the second
When it is determined that the count CTN is not "BY" or more (S50: No), the value "N1" that is the addition value N is added to the second count CTN in S52. In this way, the process of updating the second count (S45 in FIG. 4) for changing the second count CTN between the value “BX” and the value “BY” is performed in S4 in FIG.
This is repeatedly performed within the waiting time after the execution of the last operation processing program of No. 4 is completed and before a new reset signal is generated.

Returning to FIG. 4, when it is determined that the current "reset interrupt" is not the one immediately after the power is turned on (S4
1: No), in S42, a part of the operation processing program such as the processing of transferring the fluorescent tube display data is sequentially executed, and S
In 46, a part of the operation processing program such as the hit determination processing and the stop symbol creation processing is sequentially executed, and S47
In, the processing of the first counting update is executed as a part of the operation processing program.

Now, the process of updating the first count in S47 will be described with reference to FIG. In the process of updating the first count (S47 in FIG. 4), by adding the addition value N corresponding to the value of the second count CTN to the value of the second count CTN to the first count RND which is a variable provided in the RAM, Such first
The count RND is changed between the value "AX" and the value "AY". That is, as shown in FIG. 6, in S60,
An addition value N corresponding to the value of the second count CTN one-to-one is acquired. The added value N is the value “N1” or the value “N2”,
According to the table of FIG. 7 stored in the RAM, the values of the second count CTN are "BX", "BX + N1", "BX + 2N".
1 "..." BY "is defined to correspond one-to-one.

Then, in S61, the added value N obtained in S60 is added to the first count RND, and the subsequent S62.
In step S63, it is determined whether the first count RND is greater than or equal to the value “AY + N”, and the first count RND is greater than or equal to the value “AY + N” (S62: Yes).
At, the value "(AY-AX) + N" is subtracted from the first count RND. Processing for updating the first count (S47 in FIG. 4)
When is executed, the process proceeds to S48 in FIG.

At the next S48, the above-mentioned S45 is performed.
The second count updating process similar to the second count updating process is performed (see FIG. 5). Second count CT as in S45
The second count updating process (S48) for changing N between the value "BX" and the value "BY" is performed after the execution of the first count updating process of S47 is completed until a new reset signal is generated. Is repeated within the waiting time of.

As described above in detail, in the pachinko machine of the second embodiment, the current "reset interrupt" is generated immediately after the power is turned on for each "reset interrupt" generated at a constant interval of "msec". When it is determined that the reset interrupt is the one (S41: Yes), the operation processing programs of S43 and S45 are sequentially executed, and the current "reset interrupt" is not determined to be immediately after power-on. In this case (S41: No), the pachinko machine is operating by sequentially executing the operation processing programs of S42 and S46 to S48 (see FIG. 4). In a certain hit determination process (S46), the process is performed based on the value of the first count RND acquired when the pachinko ball enters the first starting opening.

At this time, the second counting CTN is S4 in FIG.
Within the waiting time from the completion of the execution of 3 to the generation of a new reset signal (S45), S47
Within the waiting time from the completion of the execution of the process of updating the first count of (1) to the generation of a new reset signal (S4
8), there is a change between the value "BX" and the value "BY". It should be noted that each of the operation processing programs of S42, S43, S46, etc. may or may not be executed depending on the status of the pachinko machine, and the waiting time for each "reset interrupt" is random, so the second counting CTN It is impossible to predict the change in value from the outside.

Further, the added value N is set to the value "N" based on the value of the second count CTN for each reset signal generated at regular intervals.
Since the value of the first counting RND is irregularly changed by changing the value to “1” or the value “N2” (S60, FIG. 7), it is not possible to predict the change of the value of the first counting RND from the outside. It will be impossible.

That is, in the pachinko machine of the second embodiment, the value of the first count RND is changed based on the second count CTN whose change cannot be predicted from the outside. Since it is impossible to predict the change in the value of the first count RND used for the external, it is possible to prevent the illegal action due to the so-called "hanging board".

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, in the pachinko machine of the first embodiment, when it is determined that a hit has been made in the hit determination processing in S6 (S8: Yes), the second
The value of the count SYC is assigned to the first count RND (S
9) If the operation of the pachinko machine is not adversely affected, the value of the second count SYC may be substituted for the first count RND at any time.

Further, in the pachinko machine of the first embodiment, the value of the second count SYC is directly substituted into the first count RND (S9), but the calculated value from the value of the second count SYC is If the calculation is performed between the same value "AX" and the value "AY" as in the first range, the calculated value may be substituted for the first count RND.

Further, in the pachinko machine of the first embodiment, in the process of updating the second count (S5, S10),
Although the second count SYC is changed between the same value “AX” and the value “AY” as in the first range, it may be changed in a second range different from the first range. However, in S9,
Before substituting the value of the second count SYC for the first count RND,
The second count SYC is changed to a value between the value "AX" and the value "AY" in the first range.

In addition, in the pachinko machine of the second embodiment, in the processing of the first count update of S47, the added value N
However, the addition value N may be newly acquired only when a certain condition is satisfied.

Regarding the value "N1" which is the added value N of the pachinko machine of the first embodiment and the value "N1" or the value "N2" which is the added value N of the pachinko machine of the second embodiment, The added value N of both may be either positive or negative.

In addition, the pachinko machine of the first embodiment and the second
The pachinko machine of the embodiment is the first type pachinko machine, but may be other types of pachinko machines such as the second type pachinko machine and the third type pachinko machine.

Further, the feature of the pachinko machine of the first embodiment is that the value of the first count RND is jumped from the value at the time of substitution to the value of the second count SYC, and that of the second embodiment. A change in the value of the first counting RND, which is a feature of a pachinko machine, is also used by adding the value "N1" or the value "N2" of the added value N to the value of the first counting RND to change the value randomly. May be impossible to predict from the outside.
