  At this time, the dealt card cards that have been dealt (distributed) are displayed on the image display device, and the combination of the card cards is determined based on the random number value generated and extracted by the random number control unit. After that, the drawn (exchanged) playing card is displayed on the image display device, and the combination of the playing cards is also determined based on the random number value generated and extracted by the random number control unit. . Therefore, the probability of establishment of each role of poker (straight flush, full house, three card, two pair, one pair, etc.) is controlled by a random number control unit or the like.

  However, in draw poker, the player determines the cards to be drawn on the premise of the combination of dealt cards that have been dealt with. Is greatly influenced by the combination of dealt playing cards. Thus, the player will be delighted with the deal of playing cards.

Therefore, if the dealt card is a combination that is far from the formation of the poker role, the expectation that the poker role will be established will suddenly fade when the card is dealt. , The player will feel strongly dissatisfied.
This is the same even when the dealt card is a combination that is close to the establishment of a poker combination when the payout awarded when the combination is established is low.

On the other hand, if the dealt card is a combination that is close to the establishment of a poker hand, and if the payout given when the hand is made is high, the hand is established when the card is dealt. Although the expectation for this will be greatly expanded, if the winning combination is not established after the card card to be drawn is drawn, the expectation that the winning will be established cannot be easily erased. Falling into a state of mind, the player feels very dissatisfied.
This means that even if a poker hand with a low payout has been established at the time the playing card is dealt, it may rise to a poker hand with a high payout after the draw. When there is, it becomes noticeable in the same way.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points, and relieves dissatisfaction that the player feels by causing the player to have a sense of expectation that a predetermined role will be established again in this game. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine that can be played.

The invention according to claim 1 to solve this problem includes a CPU that executes a card game in which cards other than a card selected by the player among cards distributed to the player are exchanged, and the card game In a gaming machine having a display screen on which a plurality of cards are displayed in accordance with the progress status, and an input instruction unit that allows a player to input an instruction related to the progress of the card game, In order to execute the card game, the following controls (a) to (j) are executed, and (a) a lottery is performed in response to an input of the card game start instruction by the player using the input instruction unit. (B) The card distributed to the player is determined by any one of the three not executed, before selection of the card, or after selection of the card as the rejection timing. Display on the display screen, (c) determine whether or not the timing of rejection by the lottery is before the selection of the card, and (d) if it is determined that the timing of rejection by the lottery is before the selection of the card Is based on an input instruction from the player using the input instruction unit to determine whether or not to reject before card selection, and (e) when it is determined to reject before card selection Erasing all cards displayed on the display screen and displaying cards redistributed to the player in place of the erased cards on the display screen. (F) (c) and (d ), The card selected by the player among the cards displayed on the display screen is identified based on the selection instruction by the player using the input instruction unit, The card other than the specific card is erased and the exchanged card is displayed on the display screen in place of the erased card, and (g) it is determined whether or not the timing of rejection by the lottery is after the card is selected. (H) If it is determined that the timing for rejecting the lottery is after the card is selected, whether or not to reject the card after selection based on an input instruction by the player using the input instruction unit And (i) if it is determined to reject the card after selection, based on the selection instruction by the player using the input instruction unit, the identification among the cards displayed on the display screen The card other than the card is erased, and the replaced card is displayed on the display screen instead of the erased card. (J) displayed on the display screen It is characterized by paying out a payout according to a combination established by a combination of existing cards .

The “ delivery” of cards in claim 1 includes, for example, what is performed first when moving to a new game, what is performed in the middle of a game, and the like. Therefore, for example, when playing a poker game with the “gaming machine” of claim 1, the type of poker game to be played (draw poker, stud poker, hold'em, Indian poker, Chinese poker, Paigao poker, Caribbean stud, let it Ride, 3 card Poker, etc.), if there is a chance of "delivery" of the door lamp card, it is not to be limited.
For example, when a “pocket game” in claim 1 is used to play a poker game such as a draw poker, the deal is performed again. Here, “deal” means that a predetermined number of playing cards are initially distributed in the current game of draw poker.
In addition, when the “gaming machine” in claim 1 is used to play a poker game such as a draw poker, for example, the draw is performed again. Here, “draw” means that at a certain point in the current game of draw poker, all or some of the cards are discarded and replaced with new cards.

The invention according to claim 2 is the gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein the CPU executes the following processing (a) and (a) non-execution when lottery of the timing of rejection. , the preparation of the card, or the three parties after selection card, is characterized in, that the timing of the reject by lottery any one of the four who were added after preselection and card selection of cards .

In the invention according to claim 3, when the CPU determines whether or not to reject a card before or after selecting a card, the CPU executes the following processes (a) to (b): a) When it is determined that the timing for rejecting the lottery is before the selection of the card, the message indicating whether or not to reject is displayed when determining whether to reject the card before selecting the card. (B) If it is determined that the timing of rejecting by lottery is after selection of a card, whether or not to reject when determining whether or not to reject after selection of a card This message is displayed on the display screen .

  That is, in the gaming machine of the invention according to claim 1, when a card is distributed (for example, when a draw poker is drawn, etc.), the right to determine whether or not the card is distributed again. Is given to players. In this regard, the game timing for re-delivery of cards is determined by lottery and cannot be determined by the player's intention. Therefore, it is possible to give the player an impression that the opportunity to lead the game to an advantage has increased, and the player has left the game time to redistribute the cards to the lottery. Since it is determined whether or not to distribute the card again, a game element can be added to the game content.

Further, in the gaming machine of the invention according to claim 1, timing of the game to again perform the delivery of the card, since it is when the card is first distributed, the first distribution is card, the distribution of cards The player is given the right to decide whether or not to make it again. Therefore, when the card distributed first is disadvantageous, the player can reinitiate the current game by giving up the card distributed first and performing the first distribution again. Also, even if the first dealt card is advantageous, if it is not desired, the player decides whether to give up the first dealt card and have the first deal run again. Therefore, the bargaining element can be added to the game content.

Moreover, in the gaming machine of the invention according to claim 1 , since the gaming time for re-delivery of the card is when the card that was the target of replacement is replaced, it was the target of the actual replacement. The player is given the right to decide whether or not to exchange the cards again. However, after the replacement has been performed, the player will know the result such as which role has been established, and decide whether or not to perform replacement again for the card that was the target of the replacement. Since there is a case where the player cannot immediately lower the game, a game element can be added to the game content.

Further, in the gaming machine of the invention according to claim 2, the result of the lottery is not given timing on the game to again perform the distribution of the cards, not player desire to carry out the distribution of cards again However, the card cannot be distributed again. Therefore, the player has to leave the lottery for the card distribution itself again, and can add new game contents.

That is, five sets of five playing cards of the same combination (“2”, “5”, “7”, “9”, “10”) are simultaneously displayed on the display screen 32.
In the lower left corner of the display screen 32, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 9, characters “5HAND” indicating that the five-hand game is being displayed are displayed.

  Then, as a result of the above-mentioned time lottery, as shown in FIG. 14, when winning is “before hold selection” with a winning probability of “51/256”, on the display screen 32, as shown in FIG. , “DO YOUR REJECT THIS RESULT?” Is displayed, and the player is asked to determine whether or not to deal with the playing card again. At this time, when the reject button 39 is pressed, the playing card is dealt again. The display screen 32 is, for example, as shown in FIG. In FIG. 5, “K” and “K” are substituted at the lower center of the display screen 32 in place of the five playing cards “2”, “5”, “7”, “9”, and “10” described above. , “A”, “5”, “4” are dealt and displayed again. Here, as described above, since the poker game of five-hand game which is one of so-called multiplayer is being performed, the same combination as the above five playing cards is further provided in the central portion A of the display screen 32. 4 sets are displayed in total. Accordingly, five sets of five playing cards of the same combination (“K”, “K”, “A”, “5”, “4”) are displayed simultaneously on the display screen 32.

Here, for convenience of explanation, as a result of seeing a combination of playing cards “2”, “5”, “7”, “9”, “10”, the player plays a game by playing a role other than straight poker. It is assumed that the player decides to deal with the playing card again and presses the reject button 39. In this regard, by performing the deal again, the display screen 32 changes to the state shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 5, and in the state shown in FIG. 5, each of the five combinations of playing cards displayed on the display screen 32. , A pair of “K” (jack or more) has already been established. Therefore, it can be said that the player's attempt was successful for the time being.
However, it is necessary to pay attention to the existence of such a risk, because the role of poker that had been established until then may be destroyed or more disorganized by performing the deal again. For this reason, game bargaining is required, and the determination of whether or not to deal with a playing card again can give the player an interest that has not been found in previous draw games.

  However, in the poker game machine 1 of the present embodiment, the deal can be performed again only once.

  On the other hand, as a result of the above-mentioned time lottery, as shown in FIG. 14, when winning after “hold selection” with a winning probability of “51/256”, here, on the display screen 32, as shown in FIG. Thus, since the characters “DO YOU REJECT THIS RESULT?” Are not displayed, the player is not asked to determine whether or not to deal with the playing card again. In addition, as a result of the above-mentioned time lottery, as shown in FIG. 14, even when the probability of “154/256” becomes “out of”, here, on the display screen 32, as shown in FIG. Since the characters “DO YOUR REJECT THIS RESULT?” Are not displayed, the player is not asked to determine whether or not to deal with the playing card again. That is, in these cases, it is not possible to determine whether or not to deal with a playing card again, or to deal with a playing card again.

  FIG. 14 is a table showing the winning probability of the time lottery performed immediately after the start button 38 is pressed, and is secured in the ROM 4. According to FIG. 14, in the occasional lottery performed immediately after the start button 38 is pressed, the probability of winning before “hold selection” is “51/256”, and the probability of winning after “hold selection” is “51/256”, and the probability of “out of” is “154/256”.

  After that, among the “K”, “K”, “A”, “5”, and “4” playing cards displayed at the lower center of the display screen 32, a card card to be held (leaved at hand) is selected. . For the selection, the hold buttons 41A, 41B, 41C, 41D, and 41E, which are respectively located directly below the playing cards, are used. 3 to 11, the holding buttons 41A, 41B, 41C, 41D, and 41E are described below the display screen 32, so that the playing card and the hold buttons 41A displayed at the lower center of the display screen 32 are displayed. , 41B, 41C, 41D, 41E are clarified. However, actually, as shown in FIG. 12, an operation table 33 is interposed between the display screen 32 and the hold buttons 41A, 41B, 41C, 41D, 41E.

  At this time, in order to hold the “K” playing card at the leftmost end, the user presses the hold button 41A located immediately below the “K” playing card. Further, when holding the “K” playing card that is second from the left end, the user presses the hold button 41 </ b> B located immediately below the “K” playing card. Further, when the “A” playing card at the center is held, the hold button 41 </ b> C located immediately below the “A” playing card is pressed. Further, when the second “5” playing card from the right end is held, the hold button 41D positioned immediately below the “5” playing card is pressed. Further, when holding the “4” playing card at the rightmost end, the user presses the hold button 41E located immediately below the “4” playing card.

  At this time, when the hold button 41A is pressed, the “HOLD” means that the playing card is held under the leftmost “K” playing card displayed at the lower center of the display screen 32. Characters are displayed. When the hold button 41B is pressed, “HOLD” means that the playing card is held below the second “K” playing card from the left end displayed at the lower center of the display screen 32. Is displayed. When the hold button 41C is pressed, a character “HOLD” indicating that the playing card has been held is displayed under the playing card “A” in the center displayed at the lower center of the display screen 32. Is displayed. When the hold button 41D is pressed, “HOLD” means that the playing card is held under the second “5” playing card from the right end displayed at the lower center of the display screen 32. Is displayed. When the hold button 41E is pressed, the character “HOLD” indicating that the playing card is held under the rightmost “4” playing card displayed at the lower center of the display screen 32. Is displayed.

  Here, for convenience of explanation, the player tries to establish a full house as a result of seeing a combination of playing cards “K”, “K”, “A”, “5”, “4”. Assume that the user decides to hold two “K” playing cards and presses the hold buttons 41A and 41B. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, this means that the playing card is held on the display screen 32 below the leftmost “K” playing card displayed at the lower center of the display screen 32. The word “HOLD” is displayed, and “HOLD” means that the playing card is held under the second “K” playing card from the left end displayed at the lower center of the display screen 32. Is displayed.

Here, since a poker game of five-hand game, which is one of so-called multi-plays, is performed, it is displayed in the central portion A of the display screen 32 in conjunction with the pressing of the hold buttons 41A and 41B. In each of the four sets of playing cards, two “K” playing cards are also held.
That is, in other words, in the state of the display screen 32 shown in FIG. 6, three playing cards “A”, “5”, and “4” are displayed in each of the five displayed playing cards. Will be the subject of subsequent draws.

When the selection of the playing card to be held is completed, the card exchange button 40 is pressed.
However, if none of the playing cards is held at this time, the card exchange button 40 is pressed without pressing any of the hold buttons 41A, 41B, 41C, 41D, 41E.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, when the characters “DO YOU REJECT THIS RESULT?” Are displayed on the display screen 32, if the player is not willing to deal with the playing card again, 41A, 41B, 41C, 41D, and 41E are used to display the “2”, “5”, “7”, “9”, and “10” playing card cards displayed at the bottom center of the display screen 32 of FIG. The playing card to be held is selected from the inside. At this time, in the poker game machine 1 of the present embodiment, the player does not intend to deal with the playing card again, and a certain amount of time has elapsed since the character “DO YOU REJECT THIS RESULT?” Is displayed on the display screen 32. Confirm by the passage of time. This confirmation may be performed by immediately pressing one of the hold buttons 41A, 41B, 41C, 41D, 41E, or other than the reject button 39 and the hold buttons 41A, 41B, 41C, 41D, 41E. This may be performed by pressing a button at that time, or may be performed by pressing a new dedicated button at that time.

  In the case where the deal is not performed again, the card that is held (remains at hand) among the playing cards displayed at the lower center of the display screen 32 by the above-mentioned hold buttons 41A, 41B, 41C, 41D, 41E. Select a card. Then, the card exchange button 40 described above is pressed. However, if none of the playing cards is held at this time, the card exchange button 40 is pressed without pressing any of the hold buttons 41A, 41B, 41C, 41D, 41E. After that, in the same way as described later, when a draw or, in some cases, a draw is performed again and one of the above-mentioned poker roles is established, the number assigned to each established poker role Get the total number of game medals.

Returning to FIG. 6, when the card exchange button 40 is pressed while the display screen 32 is in the state shown in FIG. 6, “K”, “K”, “A”, “5” displayed at the lower center of the display screen 32. Among the five playing cards “” and “4”, the three playing cards “A”, “5”, and “4” to be drawn are drawn.
Here, since a poker game of a five-hand game, which is one of so-called multiplayers, is performed, each of the four sets of playing cards displayed in the central portion A of the display screen 32 has “K”, Of the five playing cards “K”, “A”, “5”, and “4”, the drawing cards “A”, “5”, and “4” are drawn. .

Then, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, the display screen 32 is replaced with three cards “A”, “5”, “4” to be drawn in the lower center of the display screen 32, “K”, “2”, “8” of the three playing cards after being drawn are displayed together with “K” of the two playing cards held.
Here, since a poker game of five-hand game, which is one of so-called multiplayers, is performed, each of the four sets of playing cards displayed in the central portion A of the display screen 32 is subject to drawing. Instead of the three playing cards “A”, “5”, and “4”, the three playing cards after the draw are displayed together with the “K” of the two held playing cards.

  At this time, the drawing of the four sets of playing cards displayed in the central portion A of the display screen 32 is performed independently. The drawing is also performed independently of the drawing of a set of playing cards displayed at the lower center of the display screen 32. Therefore, for example, as in the display screen 32 shown in FIG. 7, the combinations of playing cards of each set are usually different (they may be similar). That is, in the set of playing cards displayed at the upper left of the center A of the display screen 32, the cards are drawn instead of the three playing cards “A”, “5”, “4” to be drawn. Then, “8”, “8”, “3” of the three playing cards are displayed together with “K” of the two held playing cards. Further, in the set of playing cards displayed at the lower left of the center A of the display screen 32, the cards are drawn instead of the three playing cards “A”, “5”, and “4” to be drawn. Then, “9”, “2”, “4” of the three playing cards are displayed together with “K” of the two held playing cards. Further, in the set of playing cards displayed at the upper right of the central portion A of the display screen 32, the cards are drawn instead of the three playing cards “A”, “5”, “4” to be drawn. Then, “2”, “3”, “4” of the three playing cards are displayed together with “K” of the two held playing cards. In the set of playing cards displayed at the lower right of the central portion A of the display screen 32, the drawing cards “A”, “5”, and “4” are replaced with three drawing cards. Then, “J”, “Q”, “4” of the three playing cards are displayed together with “K” of the two held playing cards.

  Further, “WIN = 8” is displayed on the display screen 32 shown in FIG. This numerical value of “WIN = 8” represents the total number of game medals and the like that can be obtained by the poker combination established at this time. That is, in the combination of playing cards displayed at the lower center of the display screen 32, a “K” three card is established, and in this state, three game medals and the like can be obtained. In addition, in the combination of playing cards displayed at the upper left of the central portion A of the display screen 32, a two-pair of “K” and “8” is established. Can be earned. Further, in the combination of playing cards displayed at the lower left of the center A of the display screen 32, a pair of “K” (jack or more) is established. Can be earned. Further, in the combination of playing cards displayed at the upper right of the central portion A of the display screen 32, one pair of “K” (jack or more) is established. Can be earned. Further, in the combination of playing cards displayed at the lower right of the central portion A of the display screen 32, one pair of “K” (jack or more) is established, so in this state, one game medal, etc. Can be earned. Accordingly, in the display screen 32 shown in FIG. 7, in this state, a total of eight game medals and the like can be obtained, so “WIN = 8” is displayed.

  Thereafter, as a result of the above-mentioned time lottery, as shown in FIG. 14, when winning after “hold selection” with a winning probability of “51/256”, on the display screen 32, as shown in FIG. , “DO YOUR REJECT THIS RESULT?” Is displayed, and the player is asked to determine whether or not to redraw the cards that have already been drawn. At this time, when the reject button 39 is pressed, the drawing is performed again on the cards that have been subjected to the previous draw. Here, for convenience of explanation, the player is not satisfied with the above-mentioned result of “WIN = 8”, decides to draw again for the card card of the previous draw, and presses the reject button 39. Shall be.

When the display screen 32 is in the state shown in FIG. 8 and the reject button 39 is pressed, “K”, “K”, “K”, “2” displayed at the lower center of the display screen 32. , “8”, the three cards “K”, “2”, “8” exchanged in the previous draw are redrawn.
Here, since a poker game of five-hand game, which is one of so-called multi-plays, is performed, the draw is performed again in each of the four sets of playing cards displayed in the central portion A of the display screen 32. Is called. That is, in the set of playing cards displayed at the upper left of the central portion A of the display screen 32, among the five playing cards “K”, “K”, “8”, “8”, “3” Then, the drawing is performed again for the three playing cards “8”, “8” and “3” exchanged in the completed drawing. In the set of playing cards displayed at the lower left of the central portion A of the display screen 32, among the five playing cards “K”, “K”, “9”, “2”, “4” Then, the drawing is performed again for the three playing cards “9”, “2”, and “4” exchanged in the completed drawing. In the set of playing cards displayed at the upper right of the central portion A of the display screen 32, among the five playing cards “K”, “K”, “2”, “3”, “4” Then, the drawing is performed again for the three playing cards “2”, “3”, and “4” exchanged in the completed drawing. Further, in a set of playing cards displayed at the lower right of the central portion A of the display screen 32, five playing cards “K”, “K”, “J”, “Q”, “4” Among them, the drawing is performed again for the three playing cards “J”, “Q”, and “4” exchanged in the completed drawing.

Then, on the subsequent display screen 32, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, three playing cards “A”, “5”, and “4” exchanged by the previous draw at the lower center of the display screen 32 are displayed. Instead, “3”, “5”, “3” of the three playing cards after being drawn again are displayed together with “K” of the two held playing cards.
Here, since a poker game of five hand game which is one of so-called multiplayer is being performed, each of the four sets of playing cards displayed in the central portion A of the display screen 32 is also an actual draw. Instead of the three exchanged cards, the three cards that have been drawn again are displayed together with “K” of the two cards that have been held.

  At this time, in the four sets of playing cards displayed in the central portion A of the display screen 32, the drawing is performed again independently. Further, it is also performed independently for a draw that has been performed again on a set of playing cards displayed at the lower center of the display screen 32. Accordingly, in the set of playing cards displayed at the upper left of the central portion A of the display screen 32, instead of the three playing cards “8”, “8” and “3” exchanged by the previous draw, Then, “J”, “J”, “J” of the three playing cards after being drawn again are displayed together with “K” of the two playing cards held. Further, in the one set of playing cards displayed at the lower left of the central portion A of the display screen 32, instead of the three playing cards “9”, “2”, “4” exchanged by the previous draw, Then, “K”, “3”, “A” of the three playing cards after being drawn again are displayed together with “K” of the two playing cards held. Further, in the one set of playing cards displayed at the upper right of the central portion A of the display screen 32, instead of the three playing cards “2”, “3”, and “4” exchanged by the previous draw, Then, “3”, “3”, “4” of the three playing cards after being drawn again are displayed together with “K” of the two playing cards held. In addition, in the one set of playing cards displayed at the lower right of the central portion A of the display screen 32, it is replaced with three playing cards “J”, “Q”, and “4” exchanged by the previous draw. Then, “6”, “9”, “4” of the three playing cards after being drawn again are displayed together with “K” of the two playing cards held.

  However, in the poker game machine 1 of the present embodiment, the drawing can be performed again only once.

  Therefore, when the display screen 32 is in the state shown in FIG. 9, the total number of game medals and the like that can be acquired is determined by the role of the poker established at this time. “WIN = 17” indicating that the assignment is confirmed is displayed. That is, in the combination of the playing cards displayed at the lower center of the display screen 32, the “K” and “3” two pairs are established, so that the acquisition of two game medals and the like is confirmed. In addition, in the combination of playing cards displayed at the upper left of the central portion A of the display screen 32, since a full house of “K” and “J” is established, acquisition of nine game medals and the like is confirmed. Further, in the combination of playing cards displayed at the lower left of the central portion A of the display screen 32, since the “K” three card is established, the acquisition of three game medals and the like is confirmed. Further, in the combination of playing cards displayed at the upper right of the central portion A of the display screen 32, the two pairs of game medals and the like are confirmed because “K” and “3” two pairs are established. Further, in the combination of playing cards displayed at the lower right of the central portion A of the display screen 32, since one pair of “K” (jack or more) is established, acquisition of one game medal or the like is confirmed. . Therefore, on the display screen 32 shown in FIG. 9, since the acquisition of a total of 17 game medals and the like has been confirmed, “WIN = 17” is displayed.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8, when the characters “DO YOU REJECT THIS RESULT?” Are displayed on the display screen 32, when the player is not willing to draw again for the card card to be drawn The number of game medals and the like that can be acquired (eight) is determined by the role of poker established in the state of FIG. At this time, in the poker gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, the character “DO YOU REJECT THIS RESULT?” Is displayed on the display screen 32 that the player is not willing to draw again about the card card to be drawn. This is confirmed by the fact that a certain time has passed since the display. This confirmation may be performed when a button other than the reject button 39 is pressed at that time, or may be performed when a new dedicated button is pressed at that time.

  Further, as a result of the above-mentioned time lottery, as shown in FIG. 14, when winning is “before hold selection” with a winning probability of “51/256”, here, on the display screen 32, as shown in FIG. Thus, since the characters “DO YOU REJECT THIS RESULT?” Are not displayed, it is not necessary to ask the player to determine whether or not to redraw the cards that have been drawn. Absent. In addition, as a result of the above-mentioned time lottery, as shown in FIG. 14, even when the probability of “154/256” becomes “out of”, here, on the display screen 32, as shown in FIG. Since the characters “DO YOUR REJECT THIS RESULT?” Are not displayed, the player is not required to determine whether or not to redraw the cards that have already been drawn. That is, in these cases, it is not determined whether or not to draw again for the playing card that is the target of the previous draw, or the drawing card that is the target of the previous drawing is not drawn again. The number of game medals and the like that can be acquired (eight) is determined by the combination of poker established in the state of 8.

  However, here, as described above, the player is not satisfied with the result of “WIN = 8” in the state of FIG. 8, and has decided to draw again for the card card of the target of the previous draw. . In this regard, by drawing again, the display screen 32 changes to the state shown in FIG. 8 to FIG. 9, and the total number of game medals and the like acquired from 8 to 17 is confirmed. From the viewpoint of the player who was not satisfied with the result of “WIN = 8”, the number of game medals obtained in this game increased by nine, so the player's attempt was successful.

  However, the five sets of playing cards displayed on the display screen 32 of FIG. 9 are weaker if there are cards that have a stronger role of poker than when displayed on the display screen 32 of FIG. Some poker roles have been established, and some poker roles have not changed. In particular, in a set of playing cards displayed at the bottom center of the display screen 32, the established poker role is changed from a “K” three-card to a “K”, “3” two-pair. As a result, a weaker poker role has been established. Also, in the set of playing cards displayed at the upper left of the center A of the display screen 32, the established poker role has changed from “K” toe pair to “K” and “J” full house. A stronger poker role has been established. Also, in the set of playing cards displayed at the lower left of the central portion A of the display screen 32, the established poker hand has changed from “K” one pair (jack or more) to “K” three card. A stronger poker role has been established. In addition, in a set of playing cards displayed at the upper right of the central portion A of the display screen 32, the winning poker role is changed from "K" one pair (jack or more) to "K", "3" two pairs. Therefore, a stronger poker role has been established. In addition, in the pair of playing cards displayed at the lower right of the central portion A of the display screen 32, since the established poker hand does not change with one pair of “K” (jack or more), the same poker hand is formed. It will be done.

  Therefore, it should be noted that there is a risk that the poker role that has already been established will be lost when a card is drawn again for the cards that have been the target of the previous draw. For this reason, game bargaining is required, and the determination as to whether or not to draw again for the card card that has been the target of the previous draw can give the player an interest that was not found in previous draw games. However, here, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 9, two playing cards “K” are held, and at least five of the playing cards displayed on the display screen 32 are “K”. It is ensured that the two-pair poker role will be established.

  After the number of game medals and the like for the current game is confirmed, the game can proceed to the next game on the condition that there is a BET number in the storage area secured in the RAM 5, and the above-mentioned draw poker The game procedure will be repeated.

  Next, the poker game control operation of the game control device 2 in the poker game machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described based on FIG. 1 and FIG. FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are flowcharts showing a poker game control operation by the game control device 2 in the poker game machine 1 of the present embodiment. In the poker gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, first, in step (hereinafter abbreviated as “S”) 11, it is determined whether or not a game medal or the like is bet. This determination is made based on, for example, the number of BETs in the storage area secured in the RAM 5. Here, when it is determined that a game medal or the like is not bet (S11: NO), the process returns to S11 itself and the above-described determination is repeated. On the other hand, when it is determined that a game medal or the like is bet (S11: NO), the process proceeds to S12 when the CPU 3 receives a switch signal from the start switch 15 based on pressing of the start button 38.

  In S12, a time lottery for rejection is performed. Here, lottery is performed based on the random number value transmitted from the random number control unit 7. As described above, the result of the lottery and the winning probability are shown in FIG. Here, “reject timed before hold selection” means that the deal in S13 below is performed again. Also, “reject timed after hold selection” means that the drawing in S16 below is performed again. Also, the loss means that neither the deal in S13 below is performed again nor the draw in S16 below is performed again.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to S13 to display the dealt card card. Here, the deal of the playing cards is performed by extracting five playing cards from the 52 playing cards based on the random number value transmitted from the random number control unit 7. However, this extraction may be affected by the winning probability table stored in the ROM 4. Further, the display of the playing card at this time is performed, for example, as shown in the display screen 32 of FIG. Here, as described above, since the poker game of the five hand game which is one of so-called multiplayer is performed, the display screen 32 at this time includes one combination of the five playing cards. As shown in FIG. 3, five sets of playing cards of the same combination are displayed simultaneously.

  In S14, it is determined whether or not the reject before the hold selection is won in the occasional lottery in S12. If it is determined that the reject before the hold selection has been won (S14: YES), the process proceeds to S15.

  In S15, it is determined whether or not to reject before hold selection. At this time, a message that prompts the user to determine whether or not to reject before hold selection is displayed. Specifically, for example, as shown in the display screen 32 of FIG. 4, the characters “DO YOU REJECT THIS RESULT?” Are displayed. The determination here is based on whether or not the CPU 3 has received a switch signal from the reject switch 16 based on the pressing of the reject button 39 until a predetermined time has elapsed since the character was displayed on the display screen 32. Do.

  Here, when it is determined that the reject before the hold selection is made (S15: YES), the process proceeds to S16, and the card is dealt again. Specifically, for example, the display on the display screen 32 moves from FIG. 4 to FIG. Therefore, the player who is viewing the display screen 32 recognizes that the playing card has been dealt again. Further, as described above, the deal at this time is performed by extracting five playing cards from 52 playing cards based on the random number value transmitted from the random number control unit 7. However, this extraction may be affected by the winning probability table stored in the ROM 4. Here, as described above, since the poker game of the five hand game which is one of so-called multiplayer is performed, the display screen 32 at this time includes one combination of the five playing cards. As shown, five sets of playing cards of the same combination are displayed simultaneously (see FIG. 4).

  On the other hand, in S14 described above, when it is determined that the reject before the hold selection is not won (S14: NO), the process proceeds to S17 in FIG. Also, in S15 described above, when it is determined not to reject before hold selection (S15: NO), the process proceeds to S17 in FIG.

  In S17 of FIG. 2, hold selection is performed. Specifically, as described above, the five hold buttons 41A, 41B, 41C, 41D, and 41E are used. Here, as described above, a poker game of a five-hand game, which is one of so-called multiplayer, is performed. Accordingly, since the hold selected at this time is linked between the five sets of playing cards displayed on the display screen 32 of FIG. 6, the playing cards at the relatively same positions are held. . However, on the display screen 32 of FIG. 6, only for a set of playing cards displayed at the lower center, the characters “HOLD” indicating that the holding selection has been received are below the playing cards that have received the holding selection. Is displayed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S18 when the CPU 3 receives a switch signal from the card exchange switch 17 when the card exchange button 40 is pressed.

  In S18, only the playing cards that have not been selected for holding are drawn and replaced, and displayed together with the playing cards for which holding has been selected. Here, in the drawing of the playing card, based on the value of the random number transmitted from the random number control unit 7, the playing card in which the holding is selected is excluded from the 52 playing cards, and the holding is selected. Extract from the number of cards that did not exist. Here, as described above, a poker game of a five-hand game, which is one of so-called multiplayer, is performed. Therefore, specifically, the drawing of the playing cards is performed independently for each of the five sets of playing cards displayed on the display screen 32 of FIG. However, the drawing of these playing cards is affected by the winning probability table stored in the ROM 4. The display of the playing cards at this time is performed, for example, as shown in the display screen 32 of FIG. 7, and further, the poker role established for each of the five sets of playing cards displayed on the display screen 32 is displayed. Determination is made and the total number of game medals and the like given to the poker combination is counted and displayed next to the characters “WIN =”.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to S19, and it is determined whether or not the reject after the hold selection is won in the occasional lottery of S12. If it is determined that the reject after the hold selection has been won (S19: YES), the process proceeds to S20.

  In S20, it is determined whether or not to reject the hold. At this time, a message that prompts the user to determine whether or not to reject the hold is displayed. Specifically, for example, as shown in the display screen 32 of FIG. 8, the characters “DO YOU REJECT THIS RESULT?” Are displayed. The determination here is based on whether or not the CPU 3 has received a switch signal from the reject switch 16 based on the pressing of the reject button 39 until a predetermined time has elapsed since the character was displayed on the display screen 32. Do.

  Here, when it is determined to reject the hold after selection (S20: YES), the process proceeds to S21, where only the playing cards that are not selected for holding are drawn and replaced together with the playing cards that are selected for holding. The displayed process can be performed again. Specifically, for example, the display on the display screen 32 moves from FIG. 8 to FIG. Therefore, the player who is viewing the display screen 32 recognizes that the card has been drawn again. The draw at this time is based on the value of the random number transmitted from the random number control unit 7, and the playing card that has been selected to hold from the 52 playing cards and the playing card that has been drawn in the previous S16. Are extracted from the number of playing cards for which the hold is not selected. Here, as described above, a poker game of a five-hand game, which is one of so-called multiplayer, is performed. Therefore, the drawing performed again at this time, specifically, the card card is again drawn independently for each of the five cards displayed on the display screen 32 of FIG. However, the draw performed again at this time is affected by the winning probability table stored in the ROM 4. Then, the display of the playing cards at this time is performed, for example, as shown in the display screen 32 of FIG. 9, and the poker role established for each of the five sets of playing cards displayed on the display screen 32 is displayed. Determination is made and the total number of game medals and the like given to the poker combination is counted and displayed next to the characters “WIN =”.

  On the other hand, in S19 described above, when it is determined that the reject after the hold selection is not won (S19: YES), the process proceeds to S22. In S20 described above, when it is determined not to reject the hold after selection (S20: NO), the process proceeds to S22.

  Then, in S22, game medals, etc., for the number of poker combinations that have been established are paid out. Specifically, at this time, the number of game medals and the like displayed next to the characters “WIN =” on the display screen 32 are paid out from the hopper 24, or the value of the number is used as credits in the medal storage unit 25. Add to the value. Thus, when the current game of the poker game is finished and the next game is started, the process returns to S11 of FIG.

As described above in detail, the poker game machine 1 according to the present embodiment performs draw poker, which is one of poker games, as video poker. When the poker game is started and the process proceeds to S15, the player can determine whether or not to make the draw poker deal again depending on whether or not the reject button 39 is pressed. However, in the occasional lottery at S12, it is a condition that the winner is selected at the occasion before the hold selection (S14: YES). Accordingly, at the stage of proceeding to S13, for example, when the display screen 32 is in the state shown in FIG. 3, the player is informed that “the combination of the cards that were initially distributed cannot determine the card to be drawn. If it is determined that the item is “sprayed” or the like, depending on the result of the occasional lottery in S12, the process can proceed to S15, and if the reject button 39 is pressed in the stage proceeding to S15 (S15: YES) , S16 can be proceeded to. As a result, for example, the display screen 32 shifts from the state shown in FIG. 3 to the state shown in FIG. 5, and the first distributed playing card is abandoned and the first distribution is performed again, so that the player starts this game again. be able to.
On the other hand, at the stage of proceeding to S13, for example, when the display screen 32 is in the state shown in FIG. 3, the player may say that “the combination of playing cards distributed first is likely to rise straight”. In the case of determination, if the determination is followed, it should be easy to determine the card to be drawn. However, when the straight is not the desired poker hand, it is difficult to confirm the decision. Therefore, depending on the time lottery result at S12, the process can proceed to S15, and at the stage of proceeding to S15, the display screen 32 is in the state of FIG. 4 and the characters “DO YOU REJECT THIS RESULT?” When displayed, the player is forced to decide whether to give up the first card that has been dealt and to make the first deal again. Thereby, a game element can be added to the game content while being influenced by the result of the occasional lottery in S12. In particular, in the poker gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, depending on the result of the occasional lottery in S12, the process can proceed to S15. In S15, the display screen 32 changes to the state shown in FIG. 4, and “DO YOU REJECT” is displayed. When the “THIS RESULT?” Character is displayed, if the reject button 39 is not pressed until a predetermined time has elapsed after the character is displayed on the display screen 32, the draw poker deal is automatically performed again. It is determined not to allow (S15: NO). Therefore, depending on whether or not the reject button 39 is pressed, psychological pressure is imposed on the player who is hesitant to decide whether to give up the first playing card and make the first delivery again. Can be given.

Further, in the poker game machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the time is selected after the hold selection in the time lottery at S12, the process can proceed to S20 (S19: YES). Then, when proceeding to S20, the player can determine whether or not to draw again the playing card that has been the target of the previous draw depending on whether or not the reject button 39 is pressed. However, at the stage of proceeding to S20, the first draw in the process of S18 has already been performed. For example, the display screen 32 is in the state shown in FIG. , "K" and "8" two pairs, "K" one pair (jack and above), "K" one pair (jack and above), "K" one pair (jack and above) Can know. Therefore, if you draw again for the playing card that was the target of the previous draw, the poker role that was established using the held playing card and the playing card that was the target of the previous draw, that is, Since there is a risk that the “K” three-card and the “K” and “8” two-pairs will collapse, the player needs to be prepared for that danger.
Therefore, depending on the result of the occasional lottery at S12, it is possible to proceed to S20, and at the stage proceeding to S20, a decision is made as to whether or not to draw again for the card that was the subject of the previous draw. Since there is a case where the player cannot immediately go down, a game element can be added to the game content.
In particular, in the poker game machine 1 according to the present embodiment, depending on the result of the occasional lottery in S12, the process can proceed to S20. In S20, the display screen 32 changes to the state shown in FIG. 8, and “DO YOU REJECT” is displayed. When the character “THIS RESULT?” Is displayed, if the reject button 39 is not pressed until a predetermined time elapses after the character is displayed on the display screen 32, it is automatically an object of an attempted draw. It is determined that the card is not drawn again (S20: NO). Therefore, depending on whether or not the reject button 39 is pressed, psychological pressure is given to a player who is hesitant to decide whether or not to redraw the playing card that has been the target of the previous drawing. be able to.

  In other words, in the poker gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, after the playing cards are distributed and exchanged by performing the draw / draw in the draw poker (S13, S18), the player makes a deal in the draw poker. -By making the drawing again, it is possible to determine whether or not the playing card is to be distributed and exchanged again. However, after the playing cards are dealt by the deal at the draw poker (S13), in order for the player to make the deal at the draw poker again, the hold selection in the time lottery at S12 It is a condition to win at the previous time (S14: YES). In addition, after the playing cards are exchanged by the draw at the draw poker (S18), the player selects the hold in the occasional lottery at S12 in order to make the draw poker again. It is a condition to win at a later time (S19: YES). That is, whether or not it is possible to make a deal draw at the draw poker again is determined by the occasional lottery at S12 and cannot be determined by the player's intention. Therefore, if a player feels dissatisfied with the combination of playing cards after a deal draw, the player will be able to play a poker role by making the deal draw again on condition that he leaves it to the result of timely drawing. Can be held again in this game, so that the above dissatisfaction can be eased. Further, the deal draw being performed again in the current game can give the player the impression that the opportunity for winning a high payout in the current game has increased.

  Further, in the poker game machine 1 of the present embodiment, if the result of the lottery is out of place in the occasional lottery at S12, the player cannot make a deal / draw at the draw poker again. (S14: NO, S19: NO). That is, even if the player feels dissatisfied with the combination of playing cards after the deal draw, the player cannot make the deal draw again depending on the result of the occasional lottery at S12. Therefore, since the player must leave the deal draw itself to the result of the occasional lottery, a new game content can be added to the draw game.

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 poker gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, the determination in S32 in FIG. 16 may be added at a time point β between S19 and S20 in FIG. That is, in S19 of FIG. 2, if it is determined that the reject after the hold selection is won in the time lottery of S12 (S19: YES), the process proceeds to S32 of FIG. In S32, it is determined whether or not at least one poker role is established in the five sets of playing cards displayed at this time. At this time, if it is determined that at least one poker combination is established (S32: YES), the process proceeds to S20 in FIG. Specifically, when the display screen 32 is in the state shown in FIG. 7 in the stage from S19 in FIG. 2 to S32 in FIG. 16, at this time, as a role of poker, A pair of "K" and "8", one pair of "K" (jack and above), one pair of "K" (jack and above), and one pair of "K" (jack and above) have been established. If it is determined that at least one is established (S32: YES), the process can proceed to S20 in FIG. As a result, the player can determine whether or not to redraw the playing card that has been the target of the previous draw depending on whether or not the reject button 39 is pressed. On the other hand, if it is determined that no poker combination has been established (S32: NO), after proceeding to S22 in FIG. 2, this time the poker game is terminated and the next game is started. When it moves, it returns to S11 of FIG. In this case, since it is not possible to proceed to S20 or S21 in FIG. 2, the player causes the player to draw again for the card that has been the target of the previous draw depending on whether or not the reject button 39 is pressed. I can't decide whether or not.

That is, in the poker game machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the process of S32 is performed, it is a condition that the combination of playing cards after the first draw is achieved as a poker hand (S32: YES). , The process can proceed to S20, and the player can determine whether or not to draw again for the playing card that has been the target of the previous draw depending on whether or not the reject button 39 is pressed. However, here, when the draw is made again, the poker role is already established, so if the player decides to make the draw again, the player's already established poker You must be prepared to move from a role to a stronger poker role, but also to a weaker poker role.
For example, when the display screen 32 is in the state shown in FIG. 7 at the stage of proceeding to S18 for the first time, as a role of poker, “K” three cards, “K” and “8” two pairs, “K” One pair (jack or more), one pair of “K” (jack or more), and one pair of “K” (jack or more) are established. Accordingly, if the process proceeds to S20, when the card is drawn again in S20, the held card and the card that has been drawn are used. Since there is a risk that the poker role that has been established, that is, the “K” three-card and the “K” and “8” two-pairs will collapse, the player must be prepared for that danger.
Therefore, at the stage of proceeding to S20, the player may not be able to immediately make a decision as to whether or not to redraw the playing card that was the subject of the previous draw. Elements can be added to game content.
In particular, in the poker game machine 1 of the present embodiment, the process proceeds to S20, the display screen 32 is in the state shown in FIG. 8, and the characters “DO YOU REJECT THIS RESULT?” Are displayed. If the reject button 39 is not pressed before the predetermined time has elapsed since the time displayed on the screen 32, it is automatically determined that the playing card that has been the target of the previous drawing is not drawn again (S20: NO). Therefore, depending on whether or not the reject button 39 is pressed, psychological pressure is given to a player who is hesitant to decide whether or not to redraw the playing card that has been the target of the previous drawing. be able to.

  In addition, in the poker gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, the determination of S31 of FIG. 15 may be added to a time point α between S14 and S15 of FIG. That is, in S14 of FIG. 1, if it is determined that the reject before the hold selection is won in the time lottery of S12 (S14: YES), the process proceeds to S31 of FIG. In S31, it is determined whether or not one of the poker roles is established in the five sets of playing cards displayed at this time. At this time, if it is determined that at least one poker combination is established (S31: YES), the process proceeds to S15 in FIG. More specifically, if the display screen 32 is in the state shown in FIG. 5 in the stage from S14 in FIG. 1 to S31 in FIG. 15, at this time, a “T” pair of “K” is played as a role of poker. Since each is established, it is determined that even one poker role is established (S31: YES), and the process can proceed to S15 in FIG. As a result, the player can determine whether or not to make a draw poker deal again depending on whether or not the reject button 39 is pressed. On the other hand, if it is determined that no poker combination has been established (S31: NO), the process proceeds to S17 in FIG. 2 to perform hold selection. In this case, since it is not possible to proceed to S15 or S16 in FIG. 1, the player can decide whether or not to make the draw poker deal again depending on whether or not the reject button 39 is pressed. Can not.

That is, in the poker gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the process of S31 is performed, on the condition that the combination of playing cards after the first deal is made, the role of poker is established (S31: YES), it is possible to proceed to S15, and the player can decide whether or not to make the draw poker deal again depending on whether or not the reject button 39 is pressed. However, here, when the deal is made again, the poker role is already established, so if the player decides to make the deal again, the player's already established poker You must be prepared to move from a role to a stronger poker role, but also to a weaker poker role.
For example, if the display screen 32 is in the state shown in FIG. 5 at the stage of first proceeding to S15, two pairs of “K” are established as a role of poker. Accordingly, if the process proceeds to S15, if the deal is performed again in S15, there is a risk that each of the “K” toe pairs will collapse, so the player needs to be prepared for that danger.
Accordingly, at the stage of proceeding to S15, the player may not be able to immediately make a decision as to whether or not to make a draw poker deal again, so that a game element is added to the game content. Can do.
In particular, in the poker gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the process proceeds to S15, the display screen 32 is in the state shown in FIG. 8, and the characters “DO YOU REJECT THIS RESULT?” Are displayed. If the reject button 39 is not pressed before the predetermined time has elapsed since the time displayed on the screen 32, it is automatically determined that the draw poker deal is not performed again (S15: NO). Therefore, psychological pressure can be applied to a player who is hesitant to decide whether or not to make a draw poker deal again depending on whether or not the reject button 39 is pressed.

  Further, in the poker gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, as described above, when proceeding to S15, the player can decide whether or not to make a draw poker deal again. In this game, you can only make a draw poker deal once again. Further, as described above, when proceeding to S20, the player can determine whether or not to draw again for the playing card that has been the target of the previous draw. Inside, you can only make a draw poker once again. However, these upper limit times may be two times or more as long as they do not adversely affect the expected value at which the role of poker is established and the game characteristics of draw poker, and need not be the same number.

Further, in the poker game machine 1 of the present embodiment, as described above, the time-lot lottery for rejection is performed in S12, and the lottery result at that time is the time before hold as shown in the table shown in FIG. Or rejected in time after being held, or off. In this respect, as in the table shown in FIG. 17, which is stored in the ROM 4 in the same manner as the table of FIG. 14, the lottery result of S12 is rejected at the time before the hold, or rejected at the time after the hold. Either the rejection at the previous timing, the rejection at the timing after the hold, or the deviation may be used.
Furthermore, in the table shown in FIG. 14 or FIG. 17, the rejection at the timing before the hold or the rejection at the timing after the hold may be deleted. In this case, each winning probability is adjusted to be “1” in total.

  In the poker gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, the player can decide whether or not to make the draw poker deal again in S15 depending on whether or not the reject button 39 is pressed. In S20, it can be determined whether or not to draw again for the playing card that has been the subject of the previous draw. In this regard, the above determination may be performed by a touch panel installed on the display screen 32. That is, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 8, when the character “DO YOU REJECT THIS RESULT?” Is displayed on the display screen 32 and the above determination is required, the display of FIG. Instead, for example, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the touch areas of “YES” and “NO” are displayed, and the above determination is performed by touching the two areas.

In the poker game machine 1 of the present embodiment, draw poker, which is one of poker games, is played as video poker.
In this regard, the playing card may be distributed by a mechanical reel.
In addition, although no dealer has appeared as a draw poker game content, a dealer may appear, and the game may never be compared with the dealer's hand.
Further, although a five-hand game is performed as a multi-hand game, it may be a multi-hand game other than the five-hand game, or may be a normal game format that is not a multi-hand game.

  In addition, the poker game machine 1 of the present embodiment performs “JACKs or Better” draw poker. For example, “Anything”, “Eight or Better”, “Lowball”, “Shotgun” Draw poker such as “ In addition, in the poker game machine 1 of the present embodiment, poker of a type other than draw poker (for example, stud poker, hold'em, Indian poker, Chinese poker, Paigao poker, Caribbean stud, let it ride, 3 card poker, etc.) When a game is played, for example, when a playing card is distributed, the player is asked whether or not to distribute the playing card again depending on whether or not the reject button 39 is pressed. Also good.
