[0037]
FIG. 2 is a block configuration diagram showing a control system centered on the game control device 100.
[0038]
The game control device 100 is a main control device that comprehensively controls games, and includes a game microcomputer 101 incorporating a CPU, ROM, and RAM, an input interface 102, an output interface 103, an oscillator 104, and the like.
[0039]
The gaming microcomputer 101 includes a program stored in a ROM and various detection devices (common start sensor 7, winning opening sensors 12A to 12N, three starting opening sensors 16, count sensor 18, special starting sensor 23, special winning area detection. Various control devices (first display control device 200, second display control device 300, discharge control device 400, decoration control device 500, sound control) based on detection signals from the sensor 34, the rotating body position sensor 31 and the like. A command signal is transmitted to the apparatus 600), and the general-purpose solenoid 27, the rotary motor 30, the three-type start opening motor 15, the large winning opening solenoid 17 and the like of the distribution winning apparatus 5 are controlled.
[0040]
The first display control device 200 and the second display control device 300 create screen information on the basis of the display command signal from the game control device 100, and the first variation display device 4 and the second variation display. The image is displayed on the device 24. Note that the first variable display device 4 and the second variable display device 24 may be controlled by one display control device without being separately controlled.
[0041]
The discharge control device 400 controls the operation of the payout unit based on a prize ball command signal from the game control device 100 or a ball rental request from a card ball rental unit (not shown), and causes the prize ball or the ball to be discharged. .
[0042]
Based on the decoration command signal from the game control device 100, the decoration control device 500 controls a decoration light emitting device such as a decoration lamp and LED, and controls the display of a normal start memory display (not shown). The sound control device 600 controls sound effect output from the speaker.
[0043]
Next, control contents and games of the game control device 100, the first display control device 200, and the second display control device 300 will be described.
[0044]
When a game ball is launched into the game area 3 and the game ball passes through the normal symbol operating gate 7, a predetermined random number (such as a random number for determining the hit of the first variable display game) is generated by the game control device 100 based on the passage. A display command signal (command) for commanding the variable display is transmitted from the game control device 100 to the first display control device 200, and the first variable display game is played on the first variable display device 4.
[0045]
In the first variation display game, for example, a plurality of identification symbols (for example, numbers, symbols, pictures, etc.) are varied in, for example, the left region and the right region of the screen. Stopped.
[0046]
If the extracted winning determination random number is a loss, the left region identification symbol and the right region identification symbol are stopped by a combination of loss (for example, different symbols), and the first variation display game is ended. Note that the first variable display device 4 may display not only the variable display in the two areas but also one or more variable display areas.
[0047]
On the other hand, if the extracted hit determination random number is a hit (the probability of winning is 1/30, for example), the left region identification symbol and the right region identification symbol stop at a winning combination (for example, the same symbol) At a predetermined timing, the opening / closing members 21A and 21B of the sorting and winning device 5 are converted for a predetermined time from a closed state in which the ball is not received to an open state in which the ball is easily received (the first variation display game is ended). .
[0048]
When the game ball wins the start winning area 20 of the distribution winning device 5 through the opening conversion of the opening / closing members 21A and 21B and passes through the special start sensor 23, the game control device 100 determines a predetermined random number (based on the detection). A random number for determining the hit of the second variation display game, a random number for design effect, a random number for rotation effect, etc.) are extracted, and a display command signal for commanding variation display from the game control device 100 to the second display control device 300 ( Command) is transmitted, a second variation display game is performed on the second variation display device 24, and a transfer effect operation of the rotating body 22 is performed. Only one winning ball that has passed through the special start sensor 23 is held in the ball holding portion 28 of the rotating body 22, and other than that, it flows down to the left and right escape paths 26 </ b> A and 26 </ b> B. The random number is extracted when the special start sensor 23 detects the first ball.
[0049]
FIG. 5 shows a symbol variation pattern (variation pattern of the identification symbol of the second variation display game) based on the random number for symbol effect when the determination result of the hit determination random number is a win or a loss, and rotation as a notice condition lottery means The example of a setting of the rotary body operation | movement pattern (transfer effect operation pattern of the rotary body 22) by the random number for body effects is shown.
[0050]
For example, the hit probability of the hit determination random number is set to 1/10.
[0051]
The pattern variation pattern is a variation pattern of normal reach variation that performs multiple revolutions of multiple identification symbols, a variation pattern of long reach variation that performs approximately three laps, a temporary stop during the variation, a variation performed at an extremely low speed, or a reverse rotation The special reach 1 variation variation pattern, the number of identification symbols are reduced (excluding the winning symbol), and the special reach 2 variation variation pattern for various variations is set.
[0052]
When the determination result of the hit determination random number is a win, when the design effect random number is, for example, 1 to 10, the change pattern of normal reach fluctuation is, for example, 11 to 60, the change pattern of long reach fluctuation is, for example, 61 to 200. In the case of, the variation pattern of the special reach 1 variation is selected. For example, in the case of 201 to 255, the variation pattern of the special reach 2 variation is selected. In the case of winning, the pattern variation of the special reach 1 variation pattern is likely to appear.
[0053]
When the determination result of the hit determination random number is lost, the normal reach fluctuation pattern, the long reach fluctuation pattern, the special reach 1 fluctuation pattern, and the special reach 2 fluctuation pattern are selected with a different probability from that of the win. . In the case of losing, the variation of the normal reach variation pattern is likely to appear.
[0054]
The rotating body operating pattern is a first operating pattern in which the rotating body 22 is rotated by 10 degrees, for example, in the direction of the general winning area 32 (the counterclockwise direction in FIGS. 3 and 4). A second operation pattern that rotates in the direction of the winning area 33 (clockwise in FIGS. 3 and 4), a third operation pattern that reciprocates the rotating body 22 left and right, for example, 90 degrees (each 45 degrees), A fourth operation pattern or the like that does not operate the rotating body 22 is set.
[0055]
When the determination result of the hit determination random number is a win, when the rotating body effect random number is 1 to 10, for example, the first operation pattern is set, for example, 11 to 110, the second operation pattern is set, for example, 111 to 200, for example. In the case of, the third operation pattern is selected. For example, in the case of 201 to 255, the fourth operation pattern is selected. In the case of winning, the transfer effect of the second and third operation patterns of the rotating body 22 is likely to appear.
[0056]
When the determination result of the hit determination random number is lost, the first operation pattern, the second operation pattern, the third operation pattern, and the fourth operation pattern are selected with a different probability from that of the win. In the case of losing, a fourth operation pattern, that is, a pattern that stops the rotating body 22 is likely to appear.
[0057]
Note that two types of random numbers are used: a design effect random number for determining the symbol variation pattern and a rotor effect random number for determining the rotating body operating pattern, but each pattern is determined from one type of random number. May be. Moreover, you may make it set the appearance probability of each rotary body action pattern corresponding to each symbol fluctuation pattern. Moreover, you may make it set the appearance probability of each rotary body operation | movement pattern corresponding to each symbol fluctuation | variation pattern for every identification symbol stopped and displayed.
[0058]
Next, an example of the second variation display game of the second variation display device 24 and the transfer effect operation of the rotating body 22 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0059]
As shown in FIG. 6A, when the game ball wins the start winning area 20 of the distribution winning device 5, it passes through the special start sensor 23 and the random number for determining the winning of the second variation display game, the random number for symbol effect. Then, random numbers for rotating body effects and the like are extracted. Only one winning ball is held in the ball holding portion 28 of the rotating body 22.
[0060]
When the random number is extracted, as shown in FIG. 6B, the second variation display game is started on the second variation display device 24, and the ball is held in the ball holding unit 28 of the rotating body 22. In the state, the transfer effect operation of the rotating body 22 is started.
[0061]
In the second variation display game, variation of a plurality of identification symbols (for example, numbers, symbols, pictures, etc.) in a single row is performed on the screen. This variation is performed according to the symbol variation pattern determined based on the extracted random number for winning determination and random number for symbol effect. The example in the figure shows a long reach fluctuation. In this case, as shown in FIGS. 6B and 6C, the plurality of identification symbols continue to change approximately three times at a moderate speed.
[0062]
The transfer effect operation of the rotating body 22 is started immediately after the start of the second variable display game. This transfer effect operation is performed according to the rotating body operation pattern determined based on the extracted random number for hit determination and the random number for rotating body effect. The example in the figure shows a third operation pattern. In this case, as shown in FIGS. 6B and 6C, the rotating body 22 is reciprocated 90 degrees to the left and right. This transfer effect operation is performed until the variation of the identification symbol of the second variation display game is stopped.
[0063]
If the extracted winning determination random number is lost, as shown in FIG. 6D, the identification symbol of the second variation display game is stopped at the lost symbol (for example, “8”). The rotating body 22 is rotated leftward to the general winning position (the position where the ball holding portion 28 of the rotating body 22 communicates with the general winning area 32). As a result, the ball held in the ball holding unit 28 of the rotating body 22 is won in the general winning area 32, and the second variation display game is ended.
[0064]
On the other hand, if the extracted winning determination random number is a winning, the identification symbol of the second variable display game is stopped at the winning symbol (for example, “7”) as shown in FIG. The rotating body 22 is rotated rightward to a special winning position (a position where the ball holding portion 28 of the rotating body 22 communicates with the special winning area 33). As a result, the sphere held in the sphere holding unit 28 of the rotating body 22 is won in the special winning area 33 (the second variation display game is ended).
[0065]
When winning in the special winning area 33, a special right state is generated and a special game is performed. In this special game, every time a game ball wins the start opening 13, the big winning opening 14 is opened, and when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of gaming balls wins the main winning opening 14, or for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds). After a lapse, the special winning opening 14 is closed, and this is repeated for a prescribed round (for example, 16 rounds). Further, when a special right state occurs, a fanfare display or the like is performed on the variable display devices 4 and 24 or the like.
[0066]
It should be noted that when the first variation display game of the first variation display device 4 is finished (when lost) or when the second variation display game of the second variation display device 24 is finished, the normal variation is started. If there is a memory, the new first variation display game of the first variation display device 4 is repeated based on the normal start memory.
[0067]
The game control device 100 constitutes transfer control means. Also, the game control device 100, the universal start sensor 7, the first display control device 200, the first variable display device 4, the opening / closing members 21A and 21B of the distribution winning device 5, the special start sensor 23, the second display. The control device 300, the second variation display device 24, the rotator 22, and the special winning area detection sensor 34 constitute special right state generating means. Further, the game control device 100, the three kinds of start opening sensors 16, and the special winning opening 14 constitute special game profit giving means.
[0068]
In this way, when the game ball wins the distribution winning device 5, it is detected by the special start sensor 23 and is held by the ball holding portion 28 of the rotating body 22, and the second fluctuation display device 24 receives the second change display device 24. When the variation display game is performed and the result mode of the second variation display game is derived, the rotating body 22 is rotated to the left general winning position or to the right special winning position, and the ball holding unit 28 balls are won in the general winning area 32 or the special winning area 33. In this case, when the second variable display game is started, the rotator 22 holding the balls in the ball holding unit 28. The transfer effect operation is performed.
[0069]
In this transfer effect operation of the rotator 22, the rotator 22 is rotated (tilted) in the direction of the general winning area 32, for example, 10 degrees, or is rotated (tilted) in the direction of the special prize area 33, for example, 10 degrees. Or 90 degrees (45 degrees each) and reciprocating.
[0070]
Therefore, whether or not the ball held in the ball holding unit 28 is transferred to the general winning area 32 or the special winning area 33 by the transfer effect operation of the rotating body 22, the player is playing a game while being furious. Watch over the progress of. Further, the transfer effect operation of the rotating body 22 includes a pattern that is selected by a random number and does not operate the rotating body 22. Therefore, a high performance effect can be obtained, and the player can have a great expectation for the result of the second variable display game and the final transfer result of the rotating body 22. Compared to the case where the rotating body is driven and the sphere is simply transferred after the result is obtained, the interest can be sufficiently enhanced. Further, by using an existing device for production, it is possible to enhance the interest of the game without increasing the cost.
[0071]
This transfer effect operation of the rotating body 22 starts immediately after the start of the variation of the identification symbol of the second variation display game, and continues until the variation of the identification symbol of the second variation display game stops. Alternatively, it may be performed intermittently, and before the result pattern of the second variation display game is derived, immediately before the start of variation of the identification symbol of the second variation display game, at the start of variation, and at the final symbol stop You may go right before.
[0072]
In addition, the rotation (tilting) angle of the rotating body 22 in the direction of the general winning area 32, the rotating (tilting) angle in the direction of the special winning area 33, and the reciprocating angle to the left and right in the transfer effect operation are as follows. Alternatively, it may be changed every time the rotating body operation pattern is selected, each operation may be performed discontinuously, and the reciprocating motion to the left and right may be performed asymmetrically. Further, the rotation speed may be changed.
[0073]
In addition, although the rotating body was used as the transfer means, for example, the one that grabs the ball and transfers it like a crane, or the state where the ball is attached by moving this electromagnet using an electromagnet or the like to the ball holding part. It may be something that is transported, or it may be something else.
[0074]
FIG. 7 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. This is to notify the final transfer result of the rotating body 22 by the transfer effect operation of the rotating body 22 (transfer means) (the game control device 100 constitutes the transfer result notification control means).
[0075]
In this case, the rotator 22 is formed of a clear transparent resin, and the final transfer result of the rotator 22 is transferred to the special prize area 33 on the substrate surface of the distribution winning device 5 located at the back of the rotator 22. A reliability level meter panel 50 (final transfer result reliability display unit) representing the final transfer result reliability is provided.
[0076]
The reliability level meter panel 50 has a final transfer result reliability of 30% within a range of, for example, 15 to 45 degrees on the special winning area 33 side with respect to a position corresponding to the initial position (illustrated position) of the rotating body 22. For example, a region B having a final transfer result reliability of 50% is set in the range of 45 ° to 75 °, for example, and a region C having a final transfer result reliability of 80% is set in the range of, for example, 75 ° to 90 °.
[0077]
The reliability level meter panel 50 can be seen through the rotating body 22, but a lamp or the like may be provided behind the reliability level meter board 50 so as to be seen through when the lamp or the like is lit.
[0078]
That is, the rotary body 22 is rotated by the transfer effect operation of the rotary body 22 immediately before the start of the change of the identification symbol of the second fluctuation display game, at the start of the change, during the change, and the like. When the sphere of the sphere holder 28 comes on the area A of the reliability level meter panel 50 corresponding to the transfer amount as shown in FIG. Is notified of the final transfer result reliability of 30% in the special winning area 33, the final transfer result reliability of 50% when coming over the area B, and the final transfer result reliability of 80% when coming over the area C.
[0079]
Specifically, whether or not the final transfer result of the rotator 22 becomes the special winning area 33 is determined by the game control device 100 when the special start sensor 23 detects the game ball. If the result of the actual transfer is the special winning area 33, it is set so that the sphere of the sphere holder 28 of the rotator 22 comes on the area A, B or C of the reliability level meter panel 50 with a high probability. If the final transfer result of the rotator 22 does not become the special winning area 33, the probability that the sphere of the sphere holder 28 of the rotator 22 will be on the area A, B or C of the reliability level meter panel 50 is determined. Set low.
[0080]
In this way, the excitement is enhanced by the transfer means, and the player transfers the final transfer result to the special prize area 33 before the result of the second variation display game is derived by the transfer amount by the transfer effect operation. You can have a sense of expectation, and it will be easier to get interesting.
[0081]
On the other hand, this form of transfer effect operation may be performed in combination with the transfer effect operation of the first embodiment. In this case, if a lamp or the like is provided behind the reliability level meter panel 50 and the lamp or the like is turned on only when the final transfer result of the transfer means is notified, a higher effect can be secured. .
[0082]
Also, the transfer means is driven in the direction of the final transfer result immediately before the start of change of the identification symbol of the second change display game, at the start of change, immediately after the start of change, or at the start of the transfer effect operation of the transfer means. Thus, the final transfer result may be notified in advance. That is, when the final transfer result is the general prize area 32, the transfer means is driven in the direction of the general prize area 32, and in the case of the special prize area 33, the transfer means is driven in the direction of the special prize area 33. In this way, it is easy for the player to imagine the final transfer result, and in particular, in the case of the special prize area 33, the player's sense of expectation increases. In the case of this example, the result of the variable display game and the transfer result correspond to each other. Therefore, the advance notice of the transfer result is also the advance notice of the result of the variable display game. ing.
[0083]
In addition, the display mode of the second variation display game, that is, the variation pattern of reach variation (normal reach variation, long reach variation, special reach 1 variation, special reach 2 variation, etc.) and non-reach variation is predicted by the transfer effect operation of the transfer means. You can do it. For example, when the second variation display game has a variation pattern of reach variation, an action of the transfer means (for example, reciprocation) is performed immediately before or at the start of variation of the identification symbol of the second variation display game. If there is a fluctuation pattern of fluctuation without reach, the action is not performed or is performed with a low probability (the game control device 100 constitutes a display notice control means). In this way, the expectation for the second variation display game is increased and the interest is further enhanced as compared to the effect of only the identification symbol of the second variation display game.
[0084]
9 and 10 show a third embodiment of the present invention. This is because when the variation of the identification symbol of the second variation display game is temporarily stopped, the rotating body 22 (transfer means) is moved in the direction of the general winning area 32 or the special winning area 33 based on the temporarily stopped identification symbol. In the case where the change of the identification symbol is stopped again (final stop: a result mode is derived), the rotating body 22 is moved to the general winning area 32 or specially related to the result mode. The winning area 33 is rotated.
[0085]
As shown in FIG. 9A, when the game ball wins the start winning area 20 of the distribution winning device 5, it passes through the special start sensor 23, the random number for determining the winning of the second variable display game, the symbol and the rotating body. Production random numbers and the like are extracted. Only one winning ball is held in the ball holding portion 28 of the rotating body 22.
[0086]
When the random number is extracted, the second variation display game is started on the second variation display device 24 as shown in FIG. In the second variation display game, variation of a plurality of identification symbols (for example, numbers, symbols, pictures, etc.) in a single row is started on the screen. This variation is performed according to the symbol variation pattern determined based on the extracted random number for hit determination, the symbol, and the random number for rotating body effect.
[0087]
When a predetermined time has elapsed after the start of the fluctuation, the fluctuation is temporarily stopped with a predetermined identification symbol as shown in FIG. In this case, the identification symbol may be stationary, or the identification symbol may be shaken to display that it is in a temporarily stopped state.
[0088]
Then, when the identification symbol is temporarily stopped, if the temporarily stopped identification symbol is a lost symbol (for example, “6”), the rotating body 22 reaches the vicinity of the general winning area 32 as shown in FIG. It is rotated.
[0089]
If the temporarily stopped identification symbol is a winning symbol (for example, “7”), the rotating body 22 is rotated to the vicinity of the special winning area 33 (not shown).
[0090]
Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 10A, the variation of the identification symbol is resumed. During this re-variation, the rotator 22 may remain in the aforementioned position as shown, but may be returned to the initial position.
[0091]
If the extracted winning determination random number is lost, as shown in FIG. 10B, after the identification symbol of the second variation display game is stopped at the lost symbol (for example, “8”), As shown in FIG. 10C, the rotating body 22 is rotated leftward from the aforementioned position to the general winning position (position where the ball holding portion 28 of the rotating body 22 communicates with the general winning area 32). As a result, the ball held in the ball holding unit 28 of the rotating body 22 is won in the general winning area 32, and the second variation display game is ended.
[0092]
On the other hand, if the extracted winning determination random number is a winning, as shown in FIG. 10D, after the identification symbol of the second variable display game is stopped at the winning symbol (for example, “7”), As shown in FIG. 10E, the rotating body 22 is rotated rightward from the aforementioned position to a special winning position (a position where the ball holding portion 28 of the rotating body 22 communicates with the special winning area 33). As a result, the sphere held in the sphere holding unit 28 of the rotating body 22 is won in the special winning area 33 (the second variation display game is ended).
[0093]
It should be noted that whether or not to temporarily stop the identification symbol in the second variable display game and whether to rotate the rotating body 22 based on the temporary stop symbol may be selected by random numbers, and may be performed a plurality of times during the game. Anyway. When re-variation is not performed, the temporarily stopped symbol becomes the final stopped symbol as it is.
[0094]
In this way, even if the second variation display game is stopped, for example, with a losing symbol, and the ball is transferred in the losing direction by the rotating body 22 and the player is disappointed, the identification symbol is then changed again and finally stopped. Then, since the final transfer is performed, it is possible to obtain a high interest, especially when a ball that has been transferred in the direction of losing is moved backward in the hit direction by the final stop of the identification symbol. Interest can be secured and a high sense of achievement can be given to the player.
[0095]
In each embodiment, an example in which a random number for hit determination is obtained, the result of the second variation display game is derived in accordance with this random number, and the final transfer of the transfer means is determined has been shown. The display result of the variable display game may be determined, and the final transfer of the transfer means may be determined based on the determination result.
