Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a pachinko machine that prevents fraud due to a so-called “hanging board” that illegally places a pachinko machine into a hit state by controlling the acquisition timing of the count value used in the hit determination.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, in a pachinko machine, each operation processing program such as fluorescent tube display data transfer processing, switch input processing, and hit determination processing is sequentially executed for each reset signal generated at a fixed interval due to a hardware configuration. The pachinko machine is operating. In the hit determination process, the hit determination is performed based on the count value that changes for each reset signal.
[0003]
For example, in the case of the first type pachinko machine, by determining whether or not the count value acquired when the pachinko ball enters the first start port is a preset “hit” The hit determination process is performed.
[0004]
Therefore, when the count value that changes for each reset signal is a “hit value”, the pachinko machine cannot be put into a win state unless the pachinko ball enters the first start port. In addition, the reset signal is generated at regular intervals in “msec” units, and the player cannot recognize the count value changing in “msec” units. Therefore, when the count value is “winning value” It is impossible for a player to enter a pachinko ball into the first starting opening aiming at In other words, from the player's side, there is no way to put the pachinko machine into a winning state, other than putting the pachinko balls in the first starting port one after another, in other words, during the hit determination process. Whether or not “winning value” has been acquired as the count value to be used depends greatly on the chance of the pachinko ball entering the first starting port.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the count value used in the hit determination process changes periodically and sequentially within a certain range by adding a certain addition value for each reset signal generated at certain intervals. When the count value changes to the “hit value” periodically, the count value will be periodically visited. If the time at which the count value becomes the “hit value” can be recognized by some hardware, the count value will be changed thereafter. It is also possible to predict when the “winning value” will be reached.
[0006]
In recent years, the so-called “hanging board” is illegally connected to the main board, and the time point when the count value becomes “hit” is recognized by the hardware configuration, and the count value is predicted to be “hit value”. At that time, a signal indicating that a pachinko ball has entered the first starting port is transmitted to the main board, and by obtaining a “hit value” as a count value used in the hit determination process, There have been many fraudulent acts that put pachinko machines in a winning state, and the need to prevent such fraud has arisen.
[0007]
Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and makes it impossible to predict the change in the count value used in the hit determination process from the outside, so-called An object is to provide a pachinko machine that prevents fraudulent acts caused by “bunged boards”.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The pachinko machine according to claim 1, which is formed to achieve this object, sequentially executes each operation processing program for each signal generated at a constant interval of “msec” units, and is initialized immediately after the power is turned on. , a pachinko machine for performing collision detection based on the first value of the count that varies within a predetermined range periodically and sequentially by a predetermined addition value for each of the signals subsequently generated are added, the power-on Within the waiting time until the new signal is generated after the execution of the initialization process program executed immediately after and the last operation processing program including the hit determination executed every time the signal is generated Updating means for sequentially and repeatedly updating a second count value different from the first count not involved in the hit determination while adding a constant addition value regardless of the first count value; After Ri has been determined, exactly once, the value of the first counter, characterized in that a assignment unit that assigns a second value of the count updated by the updating means.
[0009]
In the pachinko machine of the present invention having such a configuration, the operation of the pachinko machine is performed by sequentially executing each operation processing program for each signal generated at regular intervals, and one of such operation processing programs The hit determination process is based on the value of the first count.
[0010]
At this time, the value of the first count is initialized immediately after the power is turned on, and a constant addition value is added for each signal generated thereafter, thereby changing within a predetermined range periodically and sequentially. In addition, the value of the second count is a new signal after the execution of the initialization processing program executed immediately after power-on and the last operation processing program including a hit determination executed every time a signal is generated. It changes within the waiting time until it occurs. Each operation processing program may be executed depending on the status of the pachinko machine, and some may not be executed. The waiting time for each signal is random, so it is not possible to predict the change in the second count value from the outside. It becomes possible.
[0011]
Further, by substituting a calculated value within a predetermined range calculated from the second count value into the first count, the first count value is changed from the value at the time of substitution to the calculated value, thereby changing the first count. If the value of the count is changed irregularly, it is impossible to predict the change of the value of the first count from the outside.
[0012]
In other words, the pachinko machine of the present invention is already updated within the waiting time after the execution of the initialization processing program executed immediately after the power is turned on until a new signal is generated, and the change is predicted from the outside. The value of the first count is changed based on the value of the second count that cannot be performed, and it is impossible to predict the change in the value of the first count used in the hit determination process from the outside. Therefore, it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts caused by the so-called “hanging board”.
[0013]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. A pachinko machine according to a first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The pachinko machine of the first embodiment is a first type pachinko machine. Then, the pachinko machine itself is operated by sequentially executing each operation processing program for each “reset interrupt” that is a reset signal generated at a fixed interval of “msec” units by the hardware configuration.
[0014]
First, before describing the operation of the pachinko machine according to the first embodiment, a process of hit determination which is one of the operation processing programs will be described. In the pachinko machine of the first embodiment, a first count RND that is a variable is provided in the RAM for the hit determination process. The first count RND starts from the value “AX” when the power is turned on, and thereafter, the value “N1”, which is the addition value N, is added every time “reset interrupt” occurs at a constant interval of “msec” unit. When “AY” is reached, the value is rewritten to “AX”, and changes between the value “AX” that is the first range and the value “AY”. Note that such a change in the value of the first count RND is performed by executing a first count update process in S7 of FIG. 1 described later for each “reset interrupt”.
[0015]
As described above, the first count RND that periodically and sequentially changes between the value “AX” and the value “AY” by adding the value “N1” for each “reset interrupt” is input to the first start port. The hit determination process is performed depending on whether or not the acquired value matches the value “AM” set in advance as the “win value” when the pachinko ball enters. The hit determination process is executed for each “reset interrupt” as one of the operation processing programs in S6 of FIG. In addition, the operation of obtaining the value of the first count RND is to determine whether or not a pachinko ball has entered the first start port for each “reset interrupt” and that the pachinko ball has entered the first start port. Only when it is judged, it is performed in the “reset interrupt”.
[0016]
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine according to 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 regular intervals of “msec” units. That is, when a “reset interrupt” occurs, it is determined in S1 whether the current “reset interrupt” is immediately after power-on.
[0017]
If it is determined that the current “reset interrupt” is immediately after the power is turned on (S1: Yes), in S3, a process such as substituting the value “AX” into the first count RND is performed. Is initialized. In S5, the second count update process is executed as a part of the operation processing program.
[0018]
Here, the second count update process of S5 will be described with reference to FIG. In the second count update process (S5 in 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, it is determined whether or not the second count SYC is greater than or equal to the value “AY”, and if it is determined that the second count SYC is greater than or equal to the value “AY” ( (S20: Yes), in S21, the value “AX” is substituted for the second count SYC. On the other hand, if it is determined that the second count SYC is not greater than or equal to the value “AY” (S20: No), The value “N1” is added to the count SYC. As described above, the second count update process (S5 in FIG. 1) for changing the second count SYC between the value “AX” and the value “AY” is performed after the execution of S3 in FIG. This is repeated within the waiting time until the reset signal is generated.
[0019]
Returning to FIG. 1, if it is determined that the current “reset interrupt” is not immediately after power-on (S1: No), a part of the operation processing program such as fluorescent tube display data transfer processing is sequentially executed in S2. In S6, a part of the operation processing program such as the hit determination process and the stop symbol creation process is sequentially executed. In S7, the first count update process is performed as a part of the operation process program. Execute.
[0020]
Here, the first count update process of S7 will be described with reference to FIG. In the first count update process (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 “N1” is added to the first count RND, and in subsequent S31, it is determined whether or not the first count RND is greater than or equal to the value “AY + N1”. Only when it is determined that the one-count RND is greater than or equal to the value “AY + N1” (S31: Yes), the value “(AY−AX) + N1” is subtracted from the first count RND in S32. When the first count update process (S7 in FIG. 1) is executed, the process proceeds to S8 in FIG.
[0021]
In S8 of FIG. 1, it is determined whether or not the hit determination process in S6 in the current “reset interrupt” has been determined to be a win, and if it is determined that the hit determination process has been determined to be a win. (S8: Yes), after substituting the value of the second count SYC for the first count RND in S9, the process proceeds to S10. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the winning determination is made in the winning determination process (S8: No), the process proceeds to S10 without doing anything.
[0022]
In the next S10, the second count update process similar to the second count update process of S5 described above is performed (see FIG. 2). Similarly to S5, the second count update process (S10) for changing the second count SYC between the value “AX” and the value “AY” is performed after the execution of S8 or S9 is completed. This is repeated within the waiting time until the occurrence of.
[0023]
As described above in detail, in the pachinko machine according to the first embodiment, the current “reset interrupt” is the one immediately after power-on for every “reset interrupt” that occurs at regular intervals in “msec” units. (S1: Yes), by sequentially executing the operation processing programs of S3 and S5, or when it is not determined that the current “reset interrupt” is immediately after power-on. (S1: No), the operation of the pachinko machine is performed by sequentially executing each operation processing program from S2 and S6 to S10 (see FIG. 1), and hit determination that is one of such operation processing programs This processing is performed based on the value of the first count RND acquired when the pachinko ball enters the first start port (S6).
[0024]
At this time, in principle, the first count RND periodically and sequentially changes between the value “AX” and the value “AY” by adding the value “N1” for each “reset interrupt”. (S7 in FIG. 1, S30 to S32 in FIG. 3). Also, the second count SYC is a new value within the waiting time from when the execution of S3 in FIG. 1 is completed until a new reset signal is generated (S5), and after the execution of S8 or S9 is completed. Within the waiting time until the reset signal is generated (S10), the value changes between the value “AX” and the value “AY”. Each operation processing program such as S2, S3, and S6 may be executed depending on the status of the pachinko machine, and may not be executed. Since the waiting time for each “reset interrupt” is random, the second count SYC It is impossible to predict changes in value from the outside.
[0025]
Further, when it is determined that the winning is determined in the winning determination process in S6 (S8: Yes), the value of the second count SYC is substituted into the first count RND (S9), thereby the first count. Since the RND value is changed from the value at the time of substitution to the value of the second count SYC, it is impossible to predict the change in the value of the first count RND from the outside.
[0026]
In other words, the pachinko machine according to the first embodiment changes the value of the first count RND based on the second count SYC whose change cannot be predicted from the outside, and is used for the hit determination process. Since it is impossible to predict a change in the value of the first count RND from the outside, it is possible to prevent an illegal act by a so-called “hanging board”.
[0027]
Next, a pachinko machine according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The pachinko machine of the second embodiment is a first type pachinko machine. Then, the pachinko machine itself is operated by sequentially executing each operation processing program for each “reset interrupt” that is a reset signal generated at a fixed interval of “msec” units by the hardware configuration.
[0028]
First, before describing the operation of the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment, a process of hit determination which is one of the operation processing programs will be described. In the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment, a first count RND that is a variable is provided in the RAM for the hit determination process. The first count RND starts from the value “AX” when the power is turned on, and thereafter, the addition value N is added at every “reset interrupt” generated at a fixed interval of “msec” unit. The value is rewritten to the value “AX” and changes between the value “AX” that is the first range and the value “AY”. Note that such a change in the value of the first count RND is performed by executing a first count update process in S47 of FIG. 4 described later for each “reset interrupt”.
[0029]
In this way, the first count RND, which periodically and sequentially changes between the value “AX” and the value “AY” by adding the addition value N every “reset interrupt”, is output to the first start port. A hit determination process is performed based on whether or not the acquired value matches the value “AM” set in advance as the “win value” when the ball enters the ball. The hit determination process is executed for each “reset interrupt” as one of the operation processing programs in S46 of FIG. 4 to be described later. In addition, the operation of obtaining the value of the first count RND is to determine whether or not a pachinko ball has entered the first start port for each “reset interrupt” and that the pachinko ball has entered the first start port. Only when it is judged, it is performed in the “reset interrupt”.
[0030]
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, in the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment, each operation processing program is sequentially executed for each “reset interrupt” generated at regular intervals of “msec” units. That is, when a “reset interrupt” occurs, it is determined in S41 whether or not the current “reset interrupt” is immediately after power-on.
[0031]
When it is determined that the current “reset interrupt” is immediately after the power is turned on (S41: Yes), in S43, the value “AX” is substituted into the first count RND, and the like is performed. Is initialized. In S45, the second count update process is executed as a part of the operation processing program.
[0032]
Here, the second count update process of S45 will be described with reference to FIG. In the second count update process (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. 5, in S50, it is determined whether or not the second count CTN is greater than or equal to the value “BY”, and if it is determined that the second count CTN is greater than or equal to the value “BY” ( S50: Yes) In S51, the value “BX” is substituted for the second count CTN. On the other hand, if it is determined that the second count CTN is not greater than “BY” (S50: No), the second count is determined in S52. A value “N1” which is an addition value N is added to CTN. As described above, in the second count update process (S45 in FIG. 4) for changing the second count CTN between the value “BX” and the value “BY”, the last operation processing program in S44 in FIG. 4 is executed. This is repeated within a waiting time after the completion until a new reset signal is generated.
[0033]
Returning to FIG. 4, if it is determined that the current “reset interrupt” is not immediately after power-on (S41: No), a part of the operation processing program such as fluorescent tube display data transfer processing is sequentially executed in S42. In S46, a part of the operation processing program such as the hit determination process and the stop symbol creation process is sequentially executed. In S47, the first count update process is performed as a part of the operation process program. Execute.
[0034]
Here, the first count update process of S47 will be described with reference to FIG. In the first count update process (S47 in FIG. 4), an addition value N corresponding to the value of the second count CTN is added to the first count RND, which is a variable provided in the RAM, by one-to-one. The first count RND is changed between the value “AX” and the value “AY”. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, in S60, the addition value N corresponding to the value of the second count CTN is obtained one-on-one. The added value N is the value “N1” or the value “N2”, and “BX”, “BX + N1”, “BX + 2N1”, etc., which are the values of the second count CTN, according to the table of FIG. 7 stored in the RAM. “BY” is defined so as to correspond one-to-one.
[0035]
In S61, the addition value N acquired in S60 is added to the first count RND. In S62 thereafter, it is determined whether or not the first count RND is greater than or equal to the value “AY + N”. Only when it is determined that the value is greater than or equal to the value “AY + N” (S62: Yes), the value “(AY−AX) + N” is subtracted from the first count RND in S63. When the first count update process (S47 in FIG. 4) is executed, the process proceeds to S48 in FIG.
[0036]
In the next S48, a second count update process similar to the second count update process of S45 described above is performed (see FIG. 5). Similarly to S45, the second count update process (S48) for changing the second count CTN between the value “BX” and the value “BY” is performed after the execution of the first count update process of S47 is completed. Is repeated within a waiting time until a new reset signal is generated.
[0037]
As described above in detail, in the pachinko machine of the second embodiment, the current “reset interrupt” is the one immediately after power-on for every “reset interrupt” that occurs at regular intervals of “msec” units. If it is determined (S41: Yes), by sequentially executing the operation processing programs of S43 and S45, or if it is not determined that the current “reset interrupt” is immediately after power-on (S41: No), the operation of the pachinko machine is performed by sequentially executing each operation processing program from S42 and S46 to S48 (see FIG. 4), and hit determination that is one of such operation processing programs This processing is performed based on the value of the first count RND acquired when the pachinko ball enters the first start port (S46).
[0038]
At this time, the second count CTN is executed within the waiting time after the completion of the execution of S43 in FIG. 4 until a new reset signal is generated (S45), and the first count update process of S47 is executed. Within the waiting time after the completion until the new reset signal is generated (S48), the value changes between the value "BX" and the value "BY". In addition, each operation processing program such as S42, S43, and S46 may be executed depending on the situation of the pachinko machine and may not be executed, and the waiting time for each “reset interrupt” is random. It is impossible to predict changes in value from the outside.
[0039]
Further, for each reset signal generated at regular intervals, the first value RND is changed by changing the addition value N to the value “N1” or the value “N2” based on the value of the second count CTN (S60, FIG. 7). Since the value of R is irregularly changed, it is impossible to predict the change in the value of the first count RND from the outside.
[0040]
That is, the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment changes the value of the first count RND based on the second count CTN whose change cannot be predicted from the outside, and is used in the hit determination process. Since it is impossible to predict a change in the value of the first count RND from the outside, it is possible to prevent an illegal act by a so-called “hanging board”.
[0041]
In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning.
For example, in the pachinko machine according to the first embodiment, when it is determined that the winning is determined in the winning determination process in S6 (S8: Yes), the value of the second count SYC is set to the first count RND. Although it is substituted (S9), as long as the operation of the pachinko machine is not adversely affected, the value of the second count SYC may be substituted at any time for the first count RND.
[0042]
In the pachinko machine according to the first embodiment, the value of the second count SYC is directly substituted for the first count RND (S9), but the calculated value from the value of the second count SYC is changed to the first range. If the calculation is performed between the same value “AX” and the value “AY”, the calculated value may be substituted into the first count RND.
[0043]
In the pachinko machine according to the first embodiment, in the second count update process (S5, S10), the second count SYC is changed between the same value “AX” and the value “AY” in the first range. However, it may be changed within 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.
[0044]
In addition, in the pachinko machine of the second embodiment, the addition value N is always newly acquired in the first count update process of S47 (S60). However, the addition value is obtained only when a certain condition is satisfied. N may be newly acquired.
[0045]
Further, the value “N1” that is the addition value N of the pachinko machine of the first embodiment and the value “N1” or the value “N2” that is the addition value N of the pachinko machine of the second embodiment are added together. The value N may be either positive or negative.
[0046]
In addition, the pachinko machine of the first embodiment and the pachinko machine of the second embodiment are the first type pachinko machines, but other types of pachinko machines such as the second type and third type pachinko machines. It may be.
[0047]
In addition, the pachinko machine according to the first embodiment, which is a feature of the pachinko machine according to the first embodiment, jumps and changes the value of the first count RND from the value at the time of substitution to the value of the second count SYC. The characteristic is that the value of the first count RND is added irregularly by adding the value “N1” or the value “N2” of the addition value N to the value of the first count RND. It may be impossible to predict.
[0048]
【The invention's effect】
The pachinko machine of the present invention changes the value of the first count based on the value of the second count for which the change cannot be predicted from the outside, and the value of the first count used in the hit determination process This makes it impossible to predict the change from the outside, so that it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts caused by the so-called “hanging board”.
