BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a gaming machine, a program, and a storage medium that are installed and used in a game hall such as a pachinko parlor.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Slot machines that are installed and used in amusement halls such as pachinko parlors are called pachislot machines, and given a certain value to the medal that is the game medium, various medals earned by playing games Can be replaced. For this reason, it is common for a player to try to play a game by selecting a table that is easy to acquire the right to shift to the bonus game mode, which is a special mode, only for the purpose of acquiring a large number of medals. The bonus game mode includes, for example, a big bonus (hereinafter referred to as BB) mode, a regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as RB) mode, and the like. In particular, the BB mode is a special section in which a specific small role is won with a higher probability than usual. The game is shifted to the RB mode a predetermined number of times, and before shifting to the RB mode, the game is shifted to the RB introduction game section, which is the introduction section where the winning probability of the small role is high, so a large number of medals are obtained in a short period be able to.
[0003]
In the present specification, a pachislot machine is described as an example, and a description is given using medals as game media. However, the game media includes other media such as coins and pachinko balls. Further, “inserting medals (game media)” includes betting a credited medal with a bet button or the like in addition to actually inserting a medal into the medal slot. Further, “acquiring” medals means that the number of medals acquired as a gain is increased by subtracting medals inserted to play a game. For example, when 4 medals are paid out in a game played with 2 cards inserted, 2 medals are acquired. In addition, in this specification, the winning combination that won the winning combination by electronic lottery and that the reel design corresponding to the winning winning combination can be aligned on the winning effective line, and the winning combination that won internally A state where reel symbols corresponding to is aligned on the winning line is regarded as a winning.
[0004]
Conventionally, the transition condition to the RB mode in the BB mode is that the RB transition trigger is won in the RB introduction game and the RB transition trigger is awarded. Furthermore, when an RB transfer opportunity is won in an RB introduction game and an internal winning is made, regardless of the skill of the player, the arrangement of symbols and the stop of the reels are made so that the RB transfer opportunity can always be won. Many are devised for control. As a result, in these gaming machines, since the transition to the RB mode in the BB mode is performed regardless of the skill of the player, a large amount of medals can be obtained in the BB mode regardless of the skill of the player. I was able to.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the gaming machine as described above, a large amount of medals that can be acquired during the BB mode is attractive to the player. However, regarding establishing the conditions for transition to the RB mode, the RB transition trigger However, the player is not able to intervene with respect to the winning, and it is irrelevant to the player's skill to win the RB transition opportunity that has won the prize, so there are few factors that the player can enjoy.
[0006]
In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention is based on the fact that the player gains a large amount of gain within a predetermined period of time as a transition condition from one section to another section in a special mode composed of a plurality of sections.

[0013]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 shows an external perspective view of a slot machine using the present invention. In the game of the slot machine 2, a normal mode, a BB mode, and an RB mode are set. In the BB mode, the RB introduction game is played for a predetermined time, and the player shifts to the RB mode on the condition that the player acquires a predetermined number of medals by playing the game within the predetermined time. Thus, the RB introduction game constitutes the BB mode as the introduction section, and the RB mode constitutes the BB mode as the special section. In addition, what is necessary is just to determine suitably the time which an RB introduction game is performed, and the acquisition number of medals used as the transition conditions to RB mode, for example, 100 pieces in 2 minutes.
[0014]
The BB mode is terminated when the mode is shifted to the RB mode three times or when the number of medals as a transition condition cannot be obtained within a predetermined time in the third RB introduction game.
[0015]
The RB mode ends when a predetermined small role is won eight times or when twelve games are played.
[0016]
In the slot machine 2, four symbol display windows 5 to 8 are provided on the front door 4 of the housing 3, and a first reel 9a, a second reel 9b, a third reel 9c, and a sub reel are provided at the back of each display window. 10 is rotatably incorporated. As is well known, various patterns are arranged at a constant pitch on the outer periphery of the first to third reels 9a to 9c, and when the reels are stopped, three patterns are observed per reel through the corresponding display window. . As a result, a total of five pay lines, each of which is a combination of one reel pattern and three diagonal lines, are set.
[0017]
Prior to the start of the game, when one medal is inserted from the medal slot 11, the winning line at the center side is activated, three for two, three for three, and five for diagonal addition. The winning line is activated. Hereinafter, the activated winning line is referred to as a winning effective line. Further, 50 medals can be stored (hereinafter referred to as “credit”), and the number of credited medals is displayed on the credit number display 12. For example, four symbols per reel can be observed from the symbol display windows 5 to 7, and in addition to the four winning pay lines, the symbols are folded to combine one symbol for each reel. It is also possible to set another winning line.
[0018]
The sub-reel 10 at the right end indicates that a specific winning combination has been won or a symbol indicating the degree of expectation as to whether or not a specific winning combination has been won is used for various notification effects. For example, the sub reel 10 starts rotating together with the other first to third reels 9a to 9c when the start lever 13 for starting the game is operated, and shifts to the BB mode by electronic lottery when the start lever 13 is operated. When the BB transition combination to be played is lottery, “7” is displayed to notify the player that BB has been won. Similarly, when the RB transition combination is lottered in the game under the normal mode, “7” is displayed. BAR "is displayed.
[0019]
When 1 to 3 medals are inserted into the medal insertion slot 11 on the front surface of the slot machine 2 and the start lever 13 for starting the game is operated, the first to third reels 9a to 9c start to rotate. Then, by operating the stop buttons 14a to 14c, the first to third reels 9a to 9c corresponding to the buttons are individually stopped.
[0020]
On the operation panel above the stop buttons 14a to 14c, there are a one-bet button 15, a two-bet button 16, a MAX bet button 17, a payout button 18 and the like that are operated when the game is performed with the medals credited. Various operation buttons are provided.
[0021]
A medal tray 19 is provided at the lower portion of the housing 3, and the medal tray 19 stores a payout medal paid out from the payout slot 20 when a winning is obtained in the game.
[0022]
As shown in FIG. 2, the operation of the slot machine 2 is basically controlled by a microcomputer including a CPU 30 and a memory 31. In addition to the control unit 30a, the CPU 30 is provided with an electronic lottery unit 39, a winning combination determining unit 40, a game number counter 41, a game time counting unit 51, a game time integrating unit 52, and a transition section selection determining unit 53, which will be described later. .
[0023]
The medal sensor 32 detects an appropriate medal inserted from the medal slot 11 and inputs it to the control unit 30a. A selector is incorporated in the back of the medal insertion slot 11, and inappropriate medals are discharged from the medal payout slot 20 to the medal tray 19. In addition, when a medal is inserted at an inappropriate timing, the medal sensor 32 is also used for a medal that is inserted into the medal insertion slot 11 in the middle of the game or while various operation buttons are pressed. It is discharged to the medal tray 19 without going through.
[0024]
Since the number of medals to be inserted prior to the start of the game is limited to 1 to 3, the medal sensor 32 also detects medals inserted after the fourth one when the credit function is not used. Without being discharged to the medal tray 19. The credit function is turned on / off every time the payout button 18 is pushed. When the credit function is on, medals inserted after the fourth sheet are also detected by the medal sensor 32 and credited into the slot machine 2 up to 50 sheets. The number of credited medals is digitally displayed on the credit number display unit 17. When the credit function is used, a medal insertion operation is performed by operating the 1-bet button 15, the 2-bet button 16, and the MAX-bet button 17, and the bet number is sequentially subtracted from the credit number. In addition, when a game is performed and a winning with a medal payout is obtained, the payout medal is also credited, and the credited medal is paid out to the medal tray 19 when the payout button 18 is operated.
[0025]
Sensors are provided inside the 1-bet button 15, the 2-bet button 16, and the MAX-bet button 17, and a signal is input to the control unit 30a when pressed. The control unit 30a uses the detection signal from the medal sensor 32 to indicate the number of 1 to 3 medals inserted prior to the start of the game, or one of the 1 bet button 15, the 2 bet button 16, and the MAX bet button 17. Is counted based on the input signal from, thereby determining the number of valid activated pay lines. In addition, the number of medals betted each time the game is started is accumulated and counted by a counter provided in the control unit 30a. The number of credits is counted by another credit medal counter (not shown).
[0026]
The start switch sensor 33 is turned on when the start lever 13 is operated, and inputs a game start signal to the control unit 30a. Each time the game start signal is input, the count value of the game number counter 41 is incremented by “1”. Therefore, the number of games executed in the slot machine 2 can be identified by referring to the count value of the game number counter 41. Note that the game start signal input from the start switch sensor 33 to the control unit 30a is valid only when it is input from when a medal is inserted until the reel starts to rotate.
[0027]
Upon receiving the game start signal, the control unit 30a rotates the first to third reels 9a to 9c based on the game execution program stored in the ROM area of the memory 31 and starts the game process. The game execution program also includes an execution program in the BB mode, and the control unit 30a reads the execution program to execute the game in each mode.
[0028]
The reel drive controller 34 controls the drive and stop of each reel. Each reel is fixed to a drive shaft of an individual stepping motor 35a to 35d, and each reel is controlled by controlling the driving of each stepping motor 35a to 35d. The RAM area of the memory 31 is a working area and is used for temporary storage or rewriting of flags and data used for each game.
[0029]
Since the stepping motors 35a to 35d rotate at a rotation angle corresponding to the number of supplied drive pulses, the control unit 30a controls the number of supplied drive pulses to control the first to third reels 9a to 9c and the sub reels 10. The rotation angle can be controlled, and the stop position of the reel can be determined by stopping the supply of the drive pulse. Each reel is integrally formed with reflection signal portions 36a to 36d at the reference position, and the photosensors 37a to 37d photoelectrically detect the passage of each reflection signal portion for each rotation. Detection signals from the photosensors 37a to 37d are input to the control unit 30a as a reset signal for each reel.
[0030]
A pulse counter is provided for each of the stepping motors 35a to 35d in the control unit 30a, and counts the number of drive pulses supplied to each of the stepping motors 35a to 35d. When the reset signal is input from the photosensors 37a to 37d, the count value of the corresponding pulse counter is cleared. Therefore, the number of drive pulses corresponding to the rotation angle within one rotation of each reel is stored in each pulse counter while being sequentially updated.
[0031]
A symbol table is stored in the ROM area of the memory 31, and the symbol table represents the number of drive pulses corresponding to the rotation angle from the reference position of each reel and the symbols arranged on the reel at a constant pitch. A code is associated. Therefore, by monitoring the count value of the pulse counter for each reel, for example, it is possible to identify which symbol has moved on the center winning effective line, and how much more the reel should be rotated. It is possible to predict whether the target symbol will move on the winning line.
[0032]
Sensors are provided inside the stop buttons 14a to 14c, and a stop signal for each reel is input to the control unit 30a when the stop buttons 14a to 14c are operated. The start lever 13 is operated to start the rotation of all reels. When these rotations reach a steady speed, the operation of the stop buttons 14a to 14c is validated. Thereafter, the stop control of the corresponding first to third reels 9a to 9c is started by operating these. That is, the stop buttons 14a to 14c function as reel stop operation means.
[0033]
The stop control of the first to third reels 9a to 9c is performed within the range of four winning symbols (retraction range). For example, when the stop buttons 14a to 14c are operated, the control is positioned on the winning line. If the winning symbols that make up the winning combination won in the lottery are included in the four winning symbols that are consecutive from the winning symbols that are being held, until the first to third reels 9a to 9c are stopped The time is delayed and the winning symbols constituting the winning combination are stopped on the winning line. As described above, the control unit 30a and the reel drive controller 34 function as reel stop control means. In addition, by using reel stop control means and devising the arrangement of symbols on the reel, a predetermined symbol always stops on the winning line regardless of the timing at which the player operates the stop button. Can make it possible. In the RB introduction game of the present invention, the player is controlled by stopping the reel so that the winning symbol cannot be stopped on the winning line unless the player operates the stop button at a predetermined timing. This makes it possible to make a difference in the number of medals earned depending on the skill of the RB and excite the interest of the RB introduction game.
[0034]
The control unit 30a operates the electronic lottery unit 39 in response to the game start signal. The electronic lottery unit 39 includes a random number generator and a random number sampling circuit, and draws one random value every time the game is started. The random value selected by lottery is input to the winning combination determining unit 40. The winning combination determination unit 40 determines what winning combination is to be given in the currently executed game according to the input value. Thus, the electronic lottery unit 39 and the winning combination determining unit 40 function as a winning combination determining unit.
[0035]
The winning combination determination unit 40 is provided with a plurality of types of winning combination lottery tables in which random values are grouped according to their sizes. In the winning combination lottery table, a random number sampled in the game in the normal mode is BB that gives the right to shift to the BB mode, a small combination corresponding to a small combination winning design that only pays out a predetermined number of medals, medal It is used for determining which symbol belongs to, such as replay that gives the right to play the next game with the same number of bets without being thrown in, and lose that does not generate any wins, that is, winning determination. There are a plurality of types of small role winning symbols, and a payout medal is assigned to each. The type and symbol of the winning are determined depending on which winning symbol the sampled random number value belongs to. The winning combination determining unit 40 is also provided with a winning combination lottery table used in the BB mode and the RB mode. When the winning combination is determined by the winning combination determination unit 40, a winning combination determination signal indicating the determined loss or the type of winning combination is input to the control unit 30a.
[0036]
When the winning combination wins, the medal hopper 44 pays out the number of payout medals corresponding to the winning combination to the medal tray 19, or adds the specified number to the credit counter. A payout table in which the number of payout medals is determined for each type of winning combination is stored in the ROM area of the memory 31, and the control unit 30a reads this to drive the medal hopper 44.
[0037]
In the game under the BB mode, the game time counting unit 51 starts from the start of the game start signal input from the start switch sensor 33 to the control unit 30a, and after the game is performed, from the start switch 33 to the control unit 30a again. When the game start signal is input to the end point, the game time during which the game has been played is counted. That is, the game time timer 51 functions as a game time timer.
[0038]
The game time accumulating unit 52 sequentially accumulates the game time counted by the game time counting unit 51 for each game during one section of the RB introduction game section in the BB mode, and inputs the calculated integrated value to the transition section selection determining unit 53. To do. When the RB introduction game section ends, the integrated value is cleared. That is, the game time integrating unit 52 functions as a game time integrating unit.
[0039]
When the integrated value calculated by the game time integrating unit 52 reaches a predetermined value, the transition section selection determining unit 53 starts the integration from the game time integrating unit 52 until the integrated value reaches the predetermined value. In this game, that is, the RB introduction game within a predetermined time, whether to shift to the RB mode, to the RB introduction game section again, or to end the BB mode depending on the number of medals acquired by the player by the game The selection is determined, and the selection determination result is input to the control unit 30a. The control unit 30a ends the RB introduction game section and shifts to another section according to the selection determination result input from the transition section selection determination section 53, or ends the BB mode and shifts to the normal mode. Thus, the transition section selection determination unit 53 and the control unit 30a function as a transition section selection determination unit.
[0040]
Next, the operation of the slot machine configured as described above will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. First, the game is started in the normal mode. In each game, the electronic lottery unit 39 samples a random number, and the winning combination determining unit 40 collates the value with a winning combination lottery table to determine the type of lose or winning combination. At this time, when the BB giving the right to shift to the BB mode wins an internal prize, the player shifts to the BB mode after waiting for the player to arrange the BB picture on the winning effective line.
[0041]
The BB mode starts from the RB introduction game section. In the RB introduction game, similarly to the game in the normal mode, first, the player inserts a medal into the slot machine 2 and operates the start switch 13. At this time, when the RB introduction game in the BB mode is the second game or later, the game time counting unit 51 ends the game time measurement in the previous game, with the end point of the start switch 13 being operated. To do. The game time counted by the game time counting unit 51 is accumulated by the game time accumulation unit 52. The accumulated time calculated by the game time integrating unit 52 is input to the transition section selection determining unit 53.
[0042]
If the game time counting unit 51 has timed the game time in the immediately preceding game, the game time measurement unit 51 ends the game time, and then starts counting the game time anew from the time when the start switch 13 is operated.
[0043]
The first to third reels 9a to 9c start to rotate in response to the start switch 13 being operated. The player operates the stop buttons 14a to 14c in an arbitrary order to stop the first to third reels 9a to 9c corresponding to the stop buttons 14a to 14c, respectively.
[0044]
When all of the first to third reels 9a to 9c are stopped, if a small combination symbol is arranged on the winning winning line, a payout medal corresponding to the small combination is paid out.
[0045]
Before the medal insertion in the next game is performed, the transition section selection determination unit 53 determines whether or not the integrated value has reached a predetermined value. If the integrated value has not reached the predetermined value, the RB introduction game in the same RB introduction game section is played again. The predetermined value may be set as appropriate. Also, a plurality of types of predetermined values may be prepared and appropriately selected and used.
[0046]
If the integrated value calculated by the game time integrating unit 52 has reached a predetermined value, first, the integrated value in the game time integrating unit 52 is cleared. Next, the transition section selection setting unit 53 determines whether or not the number of medals acquired by the player in the section in which the game time accumulation unit 52 has accumulated the game time has reached a predetermined number. The predetermined number may be set as appropriate. Further, a plurality of types of the predetermined number of sheets may be prepared and appropriately selected and used.
[0047]
If the number of medals has not reached the predetermined number, the transition section selection determination unit 53 does not select and determine the transition to the RB mode, confirms the number of times of clearing the integrated value, and can clear the number of times once or twice. For example, it is selected and decided to shift to the RB introduction game section again. If the accumulated value is cleared three times, the transition section selection determination unit 53 selects and determines to end the BB mode and shift to the normal mode. The selection determination by the transition section selection determination unit 53 is input to the control unit 30a and executed.
[0048]
When the medal acquisition number has reached the predetermined number, the transition section selection determination unit 53 selects and determines the transition to the RB mode. The selection determination by the transition section selection determination unit 53 is input to the control unit 30a and executed.
[0049]
In the RB mode, the RB mode ends when a predetermined small role is won eight times or when 12 games are played. When the RB mode ends, the number of times of transition to the RB mode is confirmed by the control unit 30a. If the number of times of transition to the RB mode is one or two, then the transition section selection determination unit 53 confirms the number of times the integrated value is cleared. The transition section selection / determination unit 53 selects and determines to transition to the RB introduction game section again if the number of times of clearing is once or twice, and ends the BB mode if the number of times of clearing the integrated value is three times. Select and move to normal mode. The selection determination by the transition section selection determination unit 53 is input to the control unit 30a and executed.
[0050]
When the number of times of shifting to the RB mode is 3, the control unit 30a ends the BB mode and shifts to the normal mode.
[0051]

The special mode is configured by using the magnitude of the gain obtained by the player as a transition condition until the calculated integrated value reaches a predetermined value after the game time integrating means starts the integration. Transition section selection for selecting and determining whether to shift to one of the sections constituting the special mode or to shift to the normal mode after the special mode is ended when the game of the section is ended A gaming machine comprising a determining means. The special mode is such that a special section where a specific small role is won with a higher probability than usual and an introduction section provided before the special section are repeatedly performed, and the game time accumulating means in the introduction section In the case where the gain gained by the player from the game has reached a predetermined value after the calculated integrated value reaches a predetermined value after the start of the integration, the transition interval selection is performed. The deciding means selects and decides to shift to the special section when the introduction section ends, and the calculated integrated value is a predetermined value after the game time integrating means starts integration in the introduction section. When the gain gained by the player by the game does not reach a predetermined size before reaching the predetermined range, the transition section selection determining means determines that the special mode when the introduction section ends. Gaming machine of claim 1, wherein the selecting decides to transition to the normal mode to exit. The number of times that the special section and the introduction section are repeatedly performed is a predetermined number of times, and the number of times that the introduction section is performed does not reach the predetermined number, and the game time integration unit performs integration in the introduction section. When the magnitude of the gain that the player has gained through the game has not reached the predetermined magnitude from the start until the calculated integrated value reaches the predetermined value, the transition interval selection determining means 3. The gaming machine according to claim 2, wherein when the introduction section is completed, it is selected and determined to shift to the introduction section again. The game time counting means is a game time for each game, which is a time from when the game start means is operated to start a game to when the game start means is operated to start the next game. 4. The gaming machine according to claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein the game machine is timed. The winning combination determined by the winning combination determining means in response to the operation of the winning combination determining means for determining the winning combination by operation of the game starting means and the reel stop operating means provided corresponding to each of the plurality of reels Reel stop control means for performing stop control of the corresponding reels so that the symbols constituting the same stop on the same winning line, and game time timing means for timing the game time for each game performed in the special mode And a game time integrating means for integrating the game time counted by the game time measuring means in one section of the special mode, and an integrated value calculated after the game time integrating means starts integrating. When the section in which the game in the special mode is performed ends with the magnitude of the gain acquired by the player by the game before reaching the predetermined value as the transition condition, the predetermined section To migrate, or, as a transition section selection determining means and the special mode to select and determine whether to transition to the normal mode ends, the program for causing a gaming machine computer. A storage medium in which the program according to claim 5 is stored and the program can be read by a computer.
