By adding a means to determine that any one bag can be added to make 14 hands and that these 14 hands cannot be made into a hearing state, the “self-contained” characteristic of the present invention is provided. The program processing time for determining the habit to “listen if you want” is reduced as much as possible.

  If there are 9 to 10 types of “1” and “9” numbers and letters in the current 13 handbooks, any one handbag will be added to these handbags. The reason why it is not possible to put the hand of the person in a hearing state is as follows. This can also be applied to the judgment of hearing for the rising roles of “Seven Pairs” and “Kokushi Musou”.

(1) In the general rising role except “Seven Pairs” and “Kokushi Musou” (4 sets of indentations and Junko and 1 set of sparrow heads), several “1” and “ The ascending including “9” and the character 牌 is composed of a maximum of five kinds of “1” and “9” and a character 牌. Examples of this are “Ichigo, Ichigo, Ichigo”, “Jiufen, Jiufen, Jiufen”, “Nine Cylinders, Nine Cylinders, Nine Cylinders”, “East, East, East”, “ This is because the combination of “Ichigo” can be completed.
(2) The “seven pair” of the rising role is composed of seven types of scissors. Therefore, when there are 7 or 8 types of “1” and “9” numbers and character fonts in the current 13 handcuffs, there is a possibility of listening if one is added. is there.
(3) The rising role “Kokushi Musou” is composed of 13 types of “1” and “9” numbers and letters. Therefore, if the current 13 handcuffs contain 11 to 12 types of "1" and "9" numbers and characters, there is a possibility of listening if one is added. .
(4) Therefore, if there are 9-10 kinds of numbers and letters “1” and “9” in the current 13 manuals, any of the following symbols will be displayed It can be determined that it is not possible to listen to the number of the 14 hand gestures even if the user makes his / her own.

(2) When a signal from the game start button 24 is detected, “1” is subtracted from the number of stored medal.
(3) When a signal from the game end button 23 is detected when the rising combination is completed, the number of medals acquired by the rising combination is added to the number of stored medals stored in the RAM 42.
(4) When the signal of the payout button 22 is detected, a control signal is issued so that medals corresponding to the number of stored coins are paid out to the medal tray 5, and each time one medal is paid out to the medal tray 5, the stored medal number is set to "1". "Subtract.

The game ball management program P4 is a program that performs the following processing based on the control of the main board operation control program P1.
(1) At the start of the game, the remaining number of game balls stored in the RAM 42 is set to 14.
(2) When an operation signal for the throwing paddle is detected from the throwing pad button 16a or the like, control is performed to send one game ball to the game ball launching position (not shown in FIG. 1).
(3) When a game ball launched from the game ball launch lever 4 enters any of the entrances 11a, 11b, 11c,... And the entry signal is detected, the remaining number of game balls is calculated. “1” is subtracted, and the symbol code of the kite corresponding to the entrance is entered. Further, a process of transmitting the remaining number of game balls to the image control board Kc via the sub control board Kb is also performed.

  The automatic laying program P5 is a program for automatically determining 14 laid-out symbols randomly at the start of one game. This automatic catering program P5 uses the random number generated by the random number generating means to perform a process of randomly determining 14 catering symbols from 108 mahjong tiles used in the sparrow ball game machine 1. .

For example, the automatic layout program P5 can determine the symbols of 14 bags required as a game when starting the game by performing the following processing.
(1) The spiders used in the sparrow ball game machine 1 of the present invention are a total of 108 spiders, 27 kinds of spears except for cords from two ropes to eight ropes. Therefore, as shown in Table 1, a symbol code (hexadecimal number) is given to the 27 types of spider symbols, and a total of 108 symbols composed of 27 types are assigned values from 0 to 107. The four data tables allocated are registered in the ROM 41 in advance.
(2) The automatic layout program P5 includes a random number generation program for generating, for example, a 5-digit random number. Then, the automatic distribution program P5 divides the 5-digit random number generated by the random number generation program by 108 and calculates the remainder. Subsequently, the symbol code corresponding to the remainder value is obtained with reference to Table 1, and determined as the symbol to which this symbol code is arranged.

  (3) The process of the above (2) is carried out 14 times in total, and the 14 symbols required at the start of the game are determined. In addition, it is necessary to add the program which performs a randomization process to the program which generate | occur | produces this 5-digit random number so that a different random number may be generated each time. The 14 symbol codes determined by such processing are stored in the manual storage area of the RAM 42. The 14 pieces of layout data stored in the manual storage area are sorted and stored in ascending order of symbol codes.

  The special game combination lottery program P6 is a program for determining, by lottery, a combination of winning combinations that can acquire a special game right for each game from among predetermined combinations. For example, the winning combination that can acquire the right of the big game is determined by lottery by selecting one of the three winning combinations of “Daisangyuan”, “Kokushi Musou”, and “Nine consecutive treasures”. In addition, there are six kinds of uplifting points that can acquire chance game rights, for example, “Ippontsu”, “Seven Pairs”, “Three Darks”, “Peace”, “Ichiguchi”, “Tang Yao” Two types from the rising role are decided by lottery. The method of determining the winning combination that can acquire the special game right by lottery is such that a random number of a predetermined number of digits is generated by program processing and stored in the RAM 42, and is randomly determined using this random number. . The dora lottery program P7 is a program for determining a front dra and a back dora by lottery in the same manner at the start of the game.

  The winning determination program P8 is a combination of climbing combinations in which a hand is set in advance when 14 hands are determined by the automatic layout program P5 described above and when the player performs his own operation. It is a program for judging whether or not it is completed. The rising combination includes a data table as shown in Table 2, that is, the rising combination code (the rising combination code is not displayed in Table 2) and the score that the player can acquire for the rising combination. (Number of acquired medals) is stored in advance in the winning determination program P8 or the ROM 41. Then, when the winning determination program P8 determines that the rising combination is completed for the current 14 manuals, the rising combination completion control command and the code of the rising combination, the number of acquired medals, etc. A process of transmitting to the image control board Kc via the sub-control board Kb is performed.

      When a signal indicating that a game ball has entered the attacker 9 is input to the attacker 9 in the game that has acquired the right of special game, the self-selection selection support program P9 is self-restrained by the screen of the display device 14 and the interactive method. This is a program for supporting the operation of selecting the symbol of the frog to be performed.

      As shown in FIG. 6, the programs installed in the ROM 41 of the sub control board Kb are a sub board operation control program P21, a communication control program P22, a lamp control program P23, a hearing determination display program P24, and a seven-pair hearing determination program. P25, Kokushi Muso Hearing Determination Program P26, and the like. Furthermore, the hearing determination display program P24 includes subprograms including a nineteen-character character type calculation program P241 and an all-pattern-specific hearing determination program P242.

The sub board operation control program P21 is a program that decodes various control commands and control data transmitted from the main control board Ka, and controls the execution of the above programs in response to the respective control commands.
The communication control program P22 is a program for receiving data from the main control board Ka and performing communication processing with the image control board Kc. When the image control board Kc receives these various control commands and control data transmitted from the sub control board Kb, the image control board Kc displays an effect image and information on the display device 14 by program processing described later, and further, a speaker. 6 produces sound and sound effects for production.
The lamp control program P23 is a program for controlling lighting and extinguishing of the lamps 7 and 12 based on a control command and control data transmitted from the main control board Ka.

  The hearing determination display program P24 is based on the current 13 symbol codes stored in the RAM 42, and when the symbol code is automatically added to this symbol as 14 symbols, the hearing determination display program P24 is used. If the player decides the “speaker to be self-sufficient” and can determine the symbol code of this coffin to be self-recognized, before the player performs his own operation, It is a program that performs a process for displaying a symbol as a bag for “listening if self-identified”. The hearing determination display program P24 performs control to transmit and display all of the extracted symbol codes of the eyelids on the image control board Kc when the eyelids that are “listening if they are themselves” are extracted. With this support function, a player who is new to mahjong knowledge and a sparrow ball game machine launches a game ball with the aim of the entrance corresponding to the symbol of the song that is “listen if he / she hears” displayed on the display device. Then, it becomes possible to put the hand in a state of hearing, and thus it is possible to complete the role faster.

Hereinafter, the processing content of the hearing determination display program P24 will be described.
The main board operation control program P1 of the main control board Ka is performed when the automatic layout program P5 determines 14 hands at the start of the game, and when the player fires a game ball and performs his own operation. When the number reaches 14, the winning determination program P8 is operated to determine whether or not the winning combination has been completed. If the player does not complete the winning combination, each time the player performs an operation of discarding one unnecessary piece from the 14 pieces, it is stored in the table storage area. The symbol code of the 13 handed handles is transmitted to the sub-control board Kb together with the control command. At this time, the 13 hand codes are sorted in ascending order and transmitted to the sub-control board Kb. When the sub-board operation control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb receives the 13 design codes, the sub-board operation control program P21 stores the received data in the RAM 42 and then shifts the control to the hearing determination display program P24. Then, the hearing determination display program P24 sequentially operates a nineteen-character listening type number calculation program P241, a seven-pair listening determination program P25, a Kokushi no Binaural determination program P26, and an all-patterns listening determination program P242.

Hereinafter, the processing procedure of the hearing determination display program P24, which is a feature of the present invention, will be described in the order of processing steps in the flowchart shown in FIG.
(Step S1)
First, the hearing determination display program P24 operates the nineteen-character type calculation program P241. The nineteen-character font type number calculation program P241 includes several “1” and “9” fonts and character fonts for the 13 manual code symbols stored in the RAM 42 of the sub-control board Kb. The number of types A is calculated. The number of types A can be calculated by the following processes (1) to (2).
(1) The ROM 41 of the sub-control board Kb stores in advance a symbol data table in which symbol codes are set as shown in Table 1 for each of the 27 types of samurai symbols used in this sparrow ball game machine. This symbol code is set using, for example, a 1-byte hexadecimal number. As shown in Table 1, the symbol code “1 萬” is set to hexadecimal “01”, and the symbol code “medium” is set to hexadecimal “1B”.

  (2) For the 13 hand-code symbols stored in the RAM 42, each symbol code includes several “1”, “9”, and character 牌 referring to the symbol data table. The number of types A is calculated. This specific calculation procedure can be performed as follows. First, it is determined whether or not the top symbol code stored in the RAM 42 matches the symbol code “01” of “Ichigo” for the 13 symbol codes of the hand. If they do not match, it is determined whether or not they match the symbol code “09” of “Jiufen”. Further, if they do not match, it is sequentially determined whether or not they match the symbol code “0A” of “one cylinder”. In this way, it is determined whether or not all of the 13 hand codes are sequentially matched with the numbers “1”, “9”, and the character codes of the character fonts in the order of the stored addresses. . If a matching symbol code is included by such processing, the symbol code is temporarily stored in the RAM 42. When the above determination processing is completed for all 13 design codes, the type of design code is counted for the design code once stored in the RAM 42 (the same design code is included). If it is, it is counted as one type). By performing such processing, it is possible to calculate the number “1” and “9” of the numbers included in the 13 manuals and the number A of the types of character fonts.

      The calculation example of the number “1” and “9” of the numbers included in the hand tile and the number of types A of the letter font based on the hand number a1 shown in FIG. The explanation is as follows. The 13 handpieces a1 include “1”, “9” of several numbers, and “Ichigo”, “East”, “East”, and “South” as character fonts. Can be calculated as three by the above processing.

If it is determined in the process of step S1 that the 13 handpieces contain 9 to 10 types of “1”, “9” and character paddles, Then, it is determined that there is no possibility of being in a hearing state even if the next self-operation is performed, and the processing of the hearing determination display program P24 is terminated. As a result, when there is no possibility of hearing the hand which has become 14 after adding one spear to the current thirteen, it is necessary to execute the processing of steps S2 to S11 described below. Therefore, the processing time of the hearing determination display program P24 can be shortened. If the current 13 manuals contain 9 to 10 types of “1”, “9”, and Chinese characters, add one to the manual. The reason why it can be determined that there is no possibility of hearing is as described above. If the numbers “1” and “9” and the number A of character fonts are 8 or less and 11 or more by the process of step S1, the process proceeds to step S2.
The processing of the nineteen-character type number calculation program P241 for calculating the numbers “1” and “9” of the numbers included in the 13 manuals and the number A of the types of character fonts by this step S1 is as follows. The 19-character type number calculating means of the present invention is configured.

(Step S2)
In step S2, the hearing determination display program P24 operates the seven-pair hearing determination program P25. The 7-pair listening determination program P25 determines whether or not one of the current 13 hands is added by self-addition, and it becomes a state of listening to rise in “seven-pair”. If it is determined that the “seven pair” can be made into a hearing state, the symbol code of the heel to be self-contained is temporarily stored in the RAM 42 in step S8a as a 牌 to “listen if self-contained”. Process. If it is determined that the state of hearing cannot be achieved due to the rising role of “7 pairs”, the process proceeds to step S3.

In step S2, if one heel is added to the current thirteen hands and added, the determination of the heel that can be made into a listening state with the “seven pairs” ascending is performed by, for example, the following processing: It becomes possible by programming.
(1) The 13 hand codes stored in the RAM 42 are arranged and stored in ascending order. The number of sets in which about two identical symbol codes are arranged in order from the top of the symbol code of the manual is counted.
(2) If there are 5 pairs of the same symbol code in the process of (1) above, adding 1 bag to 13 hands will result in “seven pairs”. It can be determined that there is a possibility of hearing. However, if there are four identical symbol codes in these five sets, it is not determined that the user is listening with “seven pairs”.
(3) If it is determined that there is a possibility of listening with “seven pairs” in the process of (2) above, about two identical symbol codes are prepared from 13 manuals. It can be determined that the symbol codes of the remaining three kites, excluding the set of kites (total of ten), are the kites that will “listen if you speak”. However, when any one of the remaining three kites is included in the five sets of symbol codes, any one kite is not determined to be a kite that “listens if it is present”. . Further, when any two or more of the remaining three bags are included in the five sets of symbol codes, it is determined that the state of “listening if self-speaking” is not set.

(Step S3)
In step S3, the hearing determination display program P24 activates the Kokushi no Binaural determination program P26. The Kokushi Muso Hearing Awareness Determination Program P26 determines whether or not it is possible to listen to the rising role of "Kokushi Musou" by adding one habit to the current 13 hands. If it is determined in step SS8a that the symbol code that can be heard is determined as a symbol to be “listen if self”, the process is temporarily stored in the RAM. If it is determined that “Kokushi Musou” cannot be heard, the process proceeds to step S4.

Kokushi Musou is the result of collecting 13 types of “1” and “9” and one of them, forming a sparrow head with one of them. In order to listen to “Kokushi Musou” by adding one spear to 13 handcuffs, twelve kinds of “1”, “9” and the character spear are included in these 13 handcuffs. In addition, eleven types of “1” and “9” are included in the 13 manuals, and “1” and “9” of these 11 types are included It is a condition that any one of these forms a sparrow head. Therefore, when one heel is added to the current thirteen hands by self-determination, the determination of the 国 to be “listen if self-confidence” is possible by adopting the following determination method. Become.
(1) In the case where the current 13 manuals include 12 types of “1” and “9” and the character “牌”, 13 types of “1” and “9” “” Can be determined as “牌 to listen if self”.
(2) In the case where eleven types of “1” and “9” and the character “牌” are included in the above-mentioned 13 current manuals, the 11 types of “1” and “9” If either “9” or the character を forms a sparrow head, “1” and “9” of 13 types of numbers and “1” and “9” of these 11 types of numbers from the character It can be determined that the symbol of the character excluding the character character is a character that “listens if he / she speaks”.

The method of determining whether or not to listen to “Kokushi Musou” if one of the 13 current steps is self-contained is made possible by programming the following processing.
(1) Using the above-mentioned nineteen-character habit calculation program P241, the numbers “1” and “9” and the number A of the character habits included in the 13 hand-mochi are calculated.
(2) In the process of (1) above, if the number “1” “9” and the number A of the letter A are 10 or less, it can be determined that “Kokushi Musou” has not been heard. The no-bino-hearing determination program P246 is terminated.
(3) In the process of (1) above, if there are 12 or 11 types of numbers “1” and “9” and the number of types of letter A, it is possible to listen to “Kokushi Musou” Since it can be determined that there is a characteristic, the following processes (a) and (b) are programmed.
(A) If the number of types A is 12, the 13 types of “1” and “9” and all of the character fonts are determined to be “listen to themselves”. Therefore, referring to the symbol codes in Table 1, a process of temporarily storing 13 types of symbol codes “1” and “9” and character symbols in the RAM 42 in step S11a is performed.
(B) If eleven types A are included, whether or not two eleven symbol codes included in the hand are included, that is, whether a sparrow head is formed. Check. When sparrow heads are formed, 13 kinds of numbers “1” and “9” are compared with the 11 symbol codes and 11 symbol codes. Two types of symbol codes not included are determined. As described above, these two types of symbol codes can be determined as a habit of “listening if they are self-sufficient” with a rising role of “Kokushi Musou”, and therefore a process of temporarily storing them in the RAM 42 is performed.

      In the above-described steps S2 and S3, if four 牌 that have been determined to be “listen if self” are already disclosed at the current game site, they are to be “listen if self”. It is necessary to perform processing that is not determined. This determination method will be described in step S5 described later.

(Step S4)
The process of steps S4 to S10 described below is executed by the all-symbol hearing aid determination program P242. The processing in steps S4 to S10 constitutes the all-symbol hearing aid determining means of the present invention.
In step S4, in order to determine in advance whether or not any one of the heels is added to the current thirteen limbs as a self-containment when the heel is in a hearing state. Then, a process of selecting this single heel (Xi) to be self-contained is performed. For example, as shown in Table 1, 27 types of symbol codes “1” to “medium” are stored in advance as a data table in all symbol-specific hearing determination programs P242. In addition, a process of selecting one by one in the order of the symbol codes stored in this data table, that is, sequentially from the symbol code “01” of “Ichigo” to the symbol code “1B” of “medium”. . This example will be described with reference to FIG. 8. A process of sequentially selecting one symbol code (Xi) from “one table” from the data table a3 of 27 symbol codes is performed.

(Step S5)
The selection (Xi) in the process of step S4 needs to be performed so that the four symbols already disclosed in the current game are not selected as the selection of the selection. In step S5, as the processing method, for example, the following (Process 1) to (Process 3) are performed. Then, if four selected bags (Xi) have already been disclosed by the process of step S5, the process proceeds to step S9.
Note that the four shark designs already disclosed are the same heel designs for the current manual, the current trash, the puppet displayed as the front dora, the back dora, and the puppet. 4 of the kites disclosed in the field are shown. Of these, for example, the front and back dramas and the wind kites are treated as appropriate, such as processing not counted as the four kites disclosed. It is good to set to.

(Process 1)
The sub board operation control program P21 of the sub control board Kb sets a disclosure number table K for counting the number of disclosures of 27 types of symbol codes in the RAM 42 as shown in FIG.
(Process 2)
The sub-board operation control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb is such that when a symbol code of 14 kites automatically arranged by the automatic arrangement program P5 is transmitted from the main control board Ka, the player launches a game ball. When the symbol code of the self-control is transmitted from the main control board Ka by performing the self-control, and when the symbol code such as the table driver is received from the main control board Ka, the corresponding symbol code of the disclosed number table K A process of “+1” the storage area for counting the number of disclosures is performed. As a result, the number of disclosures for each symbol code can be obtained at the current game site.

(Process 3)
The design-specific hearing acuity determination program P242 of the sub-control board Kb selects the symbol code of the kite (Xi) selected by executing the process of step S4 with reference to the disclosed number table K as this self-determination. A process is performed to determine whether or not four Ｘ (Xi) have already been disclosed. Then, for the four symbol codes that have already been disclosed, a process of not selecting the symbol code as a self-contained one is performed, and a process of selecting a symbol code of 0-3 as a self-contained symbol as a self-contained symbol.

(Step S6)
A process of adding the symbol code of 牌 (Xi) selected in the processes of steps S4 and S5 as a self-description to the 13 symbol codes of the 13 manuals stored in the RAM 42 is performed. At this time, the 14 symbol codes stored in the RAM 42 are sorted and stored in ascending order of symbol codes.

(Step S7)
With respect to the hand pallet that has become 14 pieces by adding heels (Xi) in the process of step S6, a process for determining whether or not a state of hearing is achieved by the all-symbol-based hearing determination program P242 is performed. Completing the general rising role except “Seven Pairs” and “Kokushi Musou”, the combination of 4 sets of inscriptions and Junko and 1 combination of sparrow heads (pairs) consists of 5 sets in total. Is done. Therefore, if one hand is added to the current 13 handwheels and 14 handwheels are in the state of hearing, these 14 handwheels have an indenter and a junko. And four pairs are formed. These four combinations are either:
(A) There are a total of four sets of indenters and Junko.
(B) There are a total of 3 sets of incisors and Junko, and 1 set of sparrow heads (pairs).

      In the combination (a) above, if any one of the two cocoons excluding the cocoons forming the four sets from the 14 pallets is discarded by the next trashing operation, 13 pallets are discarded. Waits for the remaining sparrow head. Accordingly, in the process of step S7, the number of pairs of indents, junctors, and pairs formed in 14 hands is counted, and when the result of (a) is obtained, 13 hands are obtained. It can be determined that the number of handcuffs that has become 14 has been heard by the heel (Xi) added to the heel.

In the combination of (b) above, if the remaining 3 kites excluding the total of 3 pairs of engraved or junior pairs from 14 hand rods and the kites forming one pair of pairs are as follows: , It can be determined that the hand which has become 14 has been heard by the heel (Xi) added to the 13 hands.
(B1) Of the remaining three bags, two are the same symbol (symbol code). In this case, if you remove the remaining 1 bag from the remaining 3 bags and discard the remaining 1 bag by the next discarding operation, the 13 hands will be in a champon (two pairs of pairs) hearing state. Become.
(B2) Any of the tarts (towers), canters (fitting towers), and penters (side towers) for forming several orders of junctions are included in the remaining three baskets. In this case, if one unnecessary spear is discarded from the remaining three spears by the next throwing spear operation, the 13 hand spears are in a hearing state.

A program for determining whether or not 14 hands are listening is made possible by programming the following processing, for example.
(1) The bag (Xi) is added to the symbol codes of 13 handbags stored in the RAM 42 of the sub control board Kb. Then, the 14 pieces of manual data are rearranged in the order of symbol codes and stored in the RAM 42. Subsequently, it is determined whether or not a combination of pairs is formed for the 14 hand codes. If a pair is formed, the pair count count area of the pair is set to “+1”, and the pair of symbol codes is deleted from the symbol code of the hand and rearranged in the symbol code order.
(2) Subsequently, a process of determining whether or not the three symbol codes form an indentation is performed sequentially for each address from the top address of the RAM 42 storing the symbol code of the hand. If it is determined that an indent has been formed, a process of “+1” is performed on the set count area of the indent set in the RAM 42, and the symbol code of the ridge forming the indent is stored in the RAM 42. A process of deleting from the stored symbol code is performed.

  (3) Subsequently, it is determined whether or not an order is formed for the design code of the hand stored in the RAM 42 (the hand code from which the design code forming the indent is deleted), and the order is formed. If it is, the process of incrementing the set number count area of the order set in the RAM 42 is performed by “+1”, and the process of deleting the symbol code forming the order from the pattern code stored in the RAM 42 is performed. Do. By the processing of (1) to (3), it is possible to determine that 14 hands are listened when the number of pairs of indenters and order and the number of pairs of pairs satisfy the above (a) or (b). . Note that it is possible to determine whether or not an order is formed by, for example, programming the following procedure.

(C1) The number is calculated for each number of seeds stored in the RAM 42. If the number is two or less, the process of determining whether or not an order is formed for the number is not performed. To.
(C2) For each of several symbols containing three or more symbols, three symbol codes are sequentially extracted from the memory address of the symbol code of the symbol, and the three symbol codes extracted are consecutive symbols. If it is in order, it can be determined that an order is formed. For example, if the symbols “Ichiman”, “Niman”, and “Mitsuman” are included, the three extracted symbol codes are stored in the RAM 32 as “010203”. Can be determined. At this time, the symbol code combination pattern “010203”,..., Etc. corresponding to the combination pattern of the three kites constituting the order such as “Ichiman”, “Futami”, “Miman”,. If it is previously registered as a constant value in the all-symbol hearing determination program P242, the program processing can be simplified.

(Step S8)
Through the process of step S7, the symbol codes of all the kites (Xi) determined as the kites to “listen if they are self” are stored in the RAM.

(Step S9) (Step S10)
Pre-processing (i = i + 1) for selecting the next symbol code among the 27 symbols as the symbol (Xi) for self-determination is performed on the current 13 hand rules. This program processing can be performed, for example, by performing processing for extracting the next symbol code from the 27 symbol data tables stored in the program. Then, in step S9, pre-processing is performed to select the symbol codes “1B” from “one glance” to “medium”, that is, the symbol codes of 27 types of kites as the kites (Xi) to be self-depressed. Then, when the process of selecting all 27 types of symbol codes has not been performed by the process of the next step S10, the process returns to the process of step S4 described above. In the example of the hand a1 shown in FIG. 8, “five”, “three-cylinder”, “six-cylinder”, and “east” are determined as the ones to “listen if they are self-sufficient”, and these symbol codes are stored in the storage area a4 of the RAM 42. Will be.

(Step S11)
Processing for displaying on the display device the symbol code of the bag that is judged and extracted in the processing of steps S7 to S8 and stored in the RAM 42 and that is “listening if self-existing” is performed. When the sparrow ball game machine 1 of the present invention is composed of three control boards as shown in FIG. 4, the sub-board operation control program P21 or the hearing determination display program P24 of the sub-control board Kb is “if you do it yourself. Control is performed to transmit all of the symbol codes determined to be “listen” to the image control board Kc together with the control command, and the symbol corresponding to the symbol code of the “listen if self” is transmitted to the image control board Kc. Perform processing to display. Note that if no habit to “listen if self” is not extracted in the processing of steps S4 to S10, a control command indicating that it has not been extracted is transmitted to the image control board Kc, or nothing is transmitted. Do processing.

When the image control board Kc receives the symbol code of the kite to “listen if self”, as shown in FIG. Then, it is displayed on the rising haze display unit 31. At this time, sound may be output from the speaker 6. A splendid ball game machine or an innocent player with little mahjong knowledge can see the display and launch a game ball aiming at the entrance corresponding to the bowl to be “listen if he / she sings”.
When the process of step S11 is finished, the process of the hearing determination display program P24 is finished.

  In addition, the data volume of the design (image data) of the bag displayed on the display device 14 by the image control board Kc, various effect images, and the sound / sound effect data output from the speaker 6 becomes extremely large. Therefore, all or a part of these data may be stored in the ROM 41 of the sub control board Kb in advance. In this case, when the power of the sparrow ball game machine 1 is turned on (ON) and the initialization control command is transmitted from the main control board Ka to the sub control board Kb, the sub board operation control program P21 is The image data of the symbols stored in the ROM 41 of Kb, the effect image, and the sound / sound effect data are collectively transmitted to the image control board Kc. The image control board Kc stores the received data in a predetermined storage address of the RAM 42. By performing such processing, it is possible to shorten the communication time between the control boards Ka, Kb, and Kc, downsize the control boards Ka, Kb, and Kc, and reduce the load of program processing. It should be noted that the image data that is the symbol of each kite is stored in the ROM 41 of the sub-control board Kb so that the storage address of the image data can be referred to in association with the symbol code of each kite.

      As shown in FIG. 11, the programs installed in the ROM 41 of the image control board Kc are composed of an image board operation control program P31, a screen display program P32, a sound / sound effect output program P41, and the like. Furthermore, the screen display program P32 includes a normal game screen display program P321 and a special game screen display program P322. The screen display program P32 and the sound / sound effect output program P41 include a process for displaying various effect images on the display device 14 based on the control command and the control data transmitted from the sub-control board Kb. Processing for outputting various production sounds and sound effects from the speaker 6 is performed. The outline of the processing contents of these programs will be described below.

      The image board operation control program P31 is a program that decodes various control commands transmitted from the sub control board Kb and controls the execution of the above programs in response to these control commands. The screen display program P32 is a program for performing processing for displaying an image, numerical information, and the like on the display device 14 based on the control command transmitted from the sub-control board Kb and its control data, and the normal game screen display program P321. And a special game screen display program P322. The normal game screen display program P321 displays various effect images on the display device 14 and various types of support for the player when the player is playing a normal game since the power of the sparrow ball game machine 1 is turned on. It is a program that performs processing for displaying an image. The normal game screen display program P321 further includes an initial effect display program P321a and a game effect display program P321b as subprograms.

      The game effect display program P321b is composed of a program for displaying a screen having contents as shown in FIG. For example, as the game progresses, each time the player performs a throw-in operation, or in the case of a normal game game, the self-control operation by launching a game ball, etc., the main control board Ka passes through the sub-control board Kb. Based on the control command and the control data transmitted in this manner, the current design of the handbook, the design of the discard kit, and the “listening if self-speaking” transmitted from the sub-control board Kb by the processing of step S11 described above. The program is composed of programs for performing various display processes such as a process for displaying the symbol of the kite as shown in FIG. 3 and a process for displaying the number of points obtained when the rising combination is completed.

  The special game screen display program P322 is a program for performing processing for displaying various effect screens when the player acquires the right of special game. The special game screen display program P322 further includes a right acquisition effect display program P322a and a self-candidate candidate selection support program P322b that provide an effect display when the player has completed a winning combination that allows the player to acquire special game rights. ing. The self-candidate candidate selection support program P322b is a program that is activated when the player has acquired the right to a special game. The self-candidate candidate symbol displayed on the display device 14 is selected by the right-selection right shift button 19 or This is a program for supporting the operation of selecting the symbol of the cocoon to be self-contained in an interactive manner while operating the heel selection left shift button 20 to scroll.

  The sound / sound effect output program P41 is for outputting various effect sounds and sound effects from the speaker 6 as the game progresses based on the control command and its control data transmitted from the sub-control board Kb. It is a program.

      A program for controlling the operation of each of the control boards Ka, Kb, and Kc described above is developed using an assembler language, C language, Visual Basic language, or the like, and is a machine language program that can be executed by the CPU 40 of each board. The translated program is stored in the ROM 41 of each control board Ka, Kb, Kc.

      Next, an outline of the game procedure of the above-described sparrow ball gaming machine 1 and the processing of each program associated with this procedure will be described. One game (game) starts when a player inserts a medal into the medal slot 15, presses the game start button 24, and the automatic layout program P5 distributes 14 hands. Then, one game progresses in accordance with the control of each program that operates based on input signals and control signals generated from various operation buttons and sensors such as the discard button 16a,. Become.

First, when the power of the sparrow ball game machine 1 is turned on, the main board operation control program P1 of the main control board Ka initializes the storage area of the RAM 42 of the main control board Ka. Subsequently, the main board operation control program P1 transmits an initialization control command when the power is turned on to the sub control board Kb, and the sub control board Kb transmits the initialization control command to the image control board Kc. When the sub-control board Kb and the image control board Kc receive this initialization control command, the storage area of the RAM 42 is initialized, and the initial effect display program P321a mounted on the image control board Kc displays the effect when the power is turned on. Processing such as displaying a screen, for example, a landscape image on the display device 14 is performed.
When the sub control board Kb receives the initialization control command when the power is turned on, the sub board operation control program P21, as described above, stores the various image data, sound and sound stored in the ROM 41 of the sub control board Kb. The sound effect data is transmitted to the image control board Kc, and the image board operation control program P31 of the image control board Kc performs a process of storing the received image and sound / sound effect data in the RAM 42.

  When the player inserts a medal into the medal insertion slot 15 and the main board operation control program P1 detects the medal insertion signal, the medal management program P3 performs a process of adding “1” to the medal storage number. Subsequently, when the player presses the game start button 24 and the main board operation control program P1 detects a game start signal from the game start button 24, a game of one game can be started. Then, the main board operation control program P1 transmits a game start control command to the image control board Kc via the sub control board Kb. Based on this control command, the game effect display program P321b of the image control board Kc displays an effect image at the start of the game on the display device 14 and outputs sound from the speaker 6 by the sound / sound effect output program P41. In this way, one game of the sparrow ball game machine starts.

  Subsequently, under the control of the main board operation control program P1, the automatic layout program P5 is activated to automatically determine the 14 layout patterns necessary for starting the game by program processing. The automatic layout program P5 sequentially stores the 14 symbol codes automatically arranged in the manual storage area of the RAM 42, and then, in a predetermined order, for example, ascending order of the symbol codes, that is, insulator, tube, cord , Wind tiles, and ternary tiles are sorted in this order (sort) and stored in the manual storage area. Subsequently, the main board operation control program P1 performs control to transmit the 14 arranged symbol codes together with the control command to the sub control board Kb. When the sub-board operation control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb receives the 14 arranged symbol codes, it stores them in the RAM 42 and transmits these 14 arranged symbol codes to the image control board Kc. To do.

  The sub-board operation control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb is disclosed at the current game site as described in the process of step S5 with respect to the 14 layout symbols transmitted from the main control board Ka. A process is performed to count the number of disclosed cocoons in the disclosed number table K (shown in FIG. 9). Further, when the game effect display program P321b of the image control board Kc receives the 14 design codes, the game design display program P321b automatically displays the image of the design shown in FIG. Processing to display on the display unit 36 is performed. While the 14 automatic arrangements have not been determined, the backside of the cocoon or a non-displayed design is displayed as an initial screen on the manual display unit 35 and the self-displaying unit 36 that displays the self-displayed design. Process to display.

  Subsequently, each of the special gamer lottery program P6 (which operates when a normal game is being played) and the Dora lottery program P7 are activated, and the winning combination (BIC The game role) and the chance game right can be acquired (chance game role), and the front and back dramas are determined. Then, each data (coded data) of the big game rising combination and chance game rising combination, front and back drums determined by the processing of these programs P6 and P7 (encoded data) is sub-control board Kb To the image control board Kc.

  When the game effect display program P321b on the image control board Kc receives the code of the rising combination that can acquire the big game combination and the chance game combination, and the design code of the front and back dramas, as shown in FIG. A process for displaying the chance game combination on the big game rising combination display unit 32, the chance increase combination display unit 33, and the front drum on the front drum display unit 29 is performed.

      The main board operation control program P1 starts the game on the display device 14 when the control to display the 14 symbols of the game, the big game combination, the chance game combination, the front drama etc. on the display device 14 is completed. Processing to inform the player that the conditions are complete is displayed on the screen or by voice. Subsequently, the main board operation control program P1 operates the winning determination program P8 to perform a process of determining whether or not the 14 hands that have been automatically arranged have already completed the winning combination. If the winning combination is completed in this determination process, the winning determination program P8 determines the predetermined rising combination and the score (number of acquired medals) that the player can acquire (Table 2). Determine with reference to the data. Subsequently, the winning determination program P8 transmits the winning combination, the score obtained, and the like to the image control board Kc via the sub control board Kb. When the image control board Kc receives the winning combination and the acquired score, the game effect display program P321b displays the rising combination, the acquired score, and other effect images on the display device 14 for a predetermined time. Perform the process.

      On the other hand, if the 14 symbols of the automatically arranged baskets are not completed and the winning combination is not completed, the main board operation control program P1 is an operation of throwing away one unnecessary basket from the manuals to the player. A control command for performing screen display for prompting is transmitted to the image control board Kc via the sub-control board Kb. When the image control board Kc receives this control command, the game effect display program P321b performs a process of displaying a message on the display device 14 for prompting an operation of discarding one unnecessary spear from the hand spear. At this time, the voice / sound effect output program P41 may be operated to perform a process of prompting together with the voice.

      Subsequently, the player performs an operation of selecting a throwing-in trash from the symbols of the cocoon displayed on the hand-held display unit 35 and the self-displaying unit 36. Then, when the player decides on the design of the throwing bag, the player selects one of the throwing button 16a, 16b, 16c,. Then throw out this bag. On the basis of this discarding pot selection signal, the main board operation control program P1 stores the symbol code of the discarding trap after performing the discarding operation in the RAM 42, and further stores it in the manual storage area of the RAM 42. The symbol code that was discarded from the handbag is deleted, and the process of making 13 handbags is performed.

  Subsequently, the main board operation control program P1 performs image control via the sub-control board Kb and the sub-control board Kb together with the control command of the discarded design code and 13 design codes. Processing to transmit to the substrate Kc is performed. When the game effect display program P321b on the image control board Kc receives the symbol code that has been discarded, the symbol code corresponding to the symbol code is displayed on the symbol display unit 34, and 13 symbol codes are received. Then, the process of displaying the symbol of the coral corresponding to these symbol codes on the hand symbol display unit 35 is performed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the back side of the bag is displayed on the self-displaying portion 36.

      On the other hand, when the sub-board operation control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb receives the 13 hand codes, it activates the hearing determination display program P24 and, as described above, the current 13 hand codes. On the other hand, the presence or absence of a habit to “listen if self” is determined. Is displayed on the display device 14.

      The main board operation control program P1 of the main control board Ka executes the game ball management program P4 and sends a game ball to the game ball launching position when the above-described processing related to the player's disposal operation is completed. I do. Then, the player operates the game ball launch lever 4 to be able to launch a game ball into the game board surface 2. At this time, if any one of the puppets is added to the current thirteen steps and added to the state of hearing, as described above, the puppet that “listens if self” is shown in FIG. It is displayed as shown, so if the player sees this display and launches the game ball aiming at the entrance corresponding to the displayed spear symbol, it is possible to complete the rising role faster become.

  When the player fires a game ball and the game ball enters any of the entrances 11a, 11b, 11c,..., The sensor detects the game ball and generates an entrance signal. The main board operation control program P1 decodes the incoming signal, and performs a process of storing the symbol code of the kite (self-sucker) corresponding to the entered entrance into the manual storage area. Subsequently, the winning determination program P8 is operated, and it is determined whether or not the 14 hands have been raised and the combination is completed. Then, when the hand is raised and the winning combination is completed, as described above, it is determined what kind of rising role is set in advance and the score that the player can obtain is obtained. A process of transmitting to the image control board Kc via the control board Kb is performed. On the other hand, when the rising combination has not been completed, as described above, the player performs a discarding operation of throwing out one of the 14 hands that is considered unnecessary.

      In this way, the player operates the game ball launch lever 4 to launch the game ball into the game board surface portion 2 to enter the listening state, and the remaining game ball number display portion 27 has a numerical value of “1” or more. Is displayed, the player can reach by operating the reach button 18 before performing the operation of throwing away the bag. However, when the above condition is not satisfied (when the listening state is not established), the reach button 18 is operated so that the reach cannot be applied. After operating the reach button 18, either one of the discard buttons 16a, 16b, 16c,... When the self-cutting is performed by operating the button, the design of the discarded candy is displayed horizontally on the discarded candy display portion 34. Further, the back-dra display unit 30 performs a process of displaying the back-dra design.

For the control related to the reach operation, for example, the following processing is performed. First, the main board operation control program P1 detects an operation signal of the reach button 18, and further detects an operation signal from the discard button 16a, 16b, etc., and then performs the current procedure by the listening determination process of the winning determination program P8. When the determination result that the device is in the hearing state is obtained, a control command indicating that the reach has been applied is transmitted to the image control board Kc via the sub-control board Kb. When the game effect display program P321b of the image control board Kc receives this control command, it performs a process of displaying the design of the design code of the discarded sardine transmitted immediately after this on the side of the trash display unit 34.
When the game field reaches a reach state, the game balls fired by the player are raised corresponding to the symbols that entered the entrances 11a, 11b, 11c,. When it does not become a trap, the main board control program P1 automatically treats the trap as a discard trap. This eliminates the need for the player to operate the discard button 16a,... After the reach operation. Further, when the game place is in the reach state, the sub-board operation control program P21 performs control so as not to operate the above-described hearing determination display program P24.

  In the sparrow ball game machine of the present invention, the maximum score that can be obtained in one game is, for example, up to 10 points under the control of the winning determination program P8, and the upper limit is set. When two or more types of rising combinations are established at the same time, the score obtained by adding the points given to each of the rising combinations is the score of the game. Similarly, if the handbag contains the same dragon symbol as the front and back dramas, a score is also added to that dorado, for example, one score per dora is added. The One score obtained in the game corresponds to one medal. However, if the total number of points acquired in the game exceeds 10, the total number of medals (scores) that can be acquired is 10.

  Further, the winning determination program P8 is displayed until the game ends, that is, when the remaining game balls number becomes 0 and the game end button 23 is pressed, or when the game start button 24 is pressed. If the predetermined combination of rising combinations shown in FIG. 2 has not been completed, a game end control command is transmitted to the image control board Kc via the sub-control board Kb. Then, the game effect display program P321b of the image control board Kc displays “game over” on the display device 14 to notify the player of the end of the game, and each control board Ka, Kb, Kc is the initial of the RAM 42. Process.

      Even when the combination of rising combinations is completed, if the display of the remaining game ball number display unit 27 (the number of remaining balls) is “1” or more, the self-discard button 17 or the discard button 16a. , 16b, 16c,..., A game continuation control command is transmitted to the image control board Kc via the sub control board Kb under the control of the main board operation control program P1. Then, the game effect display program P321b on the image control board Kc erases the explanation of the winning combination displayed on the display device 14 and the display of the acquired score so that the game can be continued.

      Further, when the player has operated the game end button 23 or the game start button 24 when the rising combination is completed and the explanation of the rising combination is displayed on the display device 14, the main board operation control program P1 inputs this input. The signal type is decoded and the medal management program P3 is operated, the score obtained in this game is added to the medal storage number stored in the RAM 42, and this medal storage number is imaged via the sub-control board Kb. Transmit to the control board Kc. Then, the game effect display program P321b of the image control board Kc displays the medal stored number on the medal stored number display unit 26. When the player operates the game start button 24 after operating the game end button 23, the stored medal insertion operation is automatically performed, and the main board operation control program P1 can perform the next game. In order to obtain a ready state, a control command for initializing the screen display is transmitted to the image control board Kc via the sub-control board Kb.

      When the winning combination is a rising combination that can acquire the right of the big game, which is one of the special games set in advance, the winning determination program P8 confirms that the rising combination that can acquire the right of the big game is completed. The control command shown is transmitted to the image control board Kc via the sub-control board Kb. Then, the right acquisition effect display program P322a of the image control board Kc alternately displays an explanation display of the rising role and a display of establishment of the big game right at predetermined time intervals on the rising eye display unit 31 of the display device 14. Processing is performed to inform the player that the right of the big game has been established.

  When the right of the big game is established, as described above, the attacker 9 can be operated a predetermined number of times, for example, 14 times in the next and subsequent games including the game. In the present invention, even in a game in which the right of the big game is established, the sub-board operation control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb causes the player to perform a throwing operation from the main control board Ka and perform 13 procedures. Each time the symbol code is transmitted, the above-described hearing determination display program P24 is controlled to operate.

      In a game in which the right of a big game is established, when a player launches a game ball, the game ball passes through the attacker operating port 10, and the passage signal is input to the main control board Ka, the main board The operation control program P1 controls the opening of the attacker 9 so that the game ball can easily enter the attacker 9. Each time the player enters one game ball in the attacker 9, the player can arbitrarily select self-restraint by the display device 14 and the interactive method. This self-selection operation can be performed according to the control of the self-selection support program P9 of the main control board Ka and the self-candidate selection support program P322b of the image control board Kc.

When the right of the above big game is established, the program processing for the player to arbitrarily select one self-restraint by the interactive method with the display device 14 can be performed as follows.
First, as shown in Table 1, a self-selection data table in which 27 types of symbol codes are arranged in ascending order is created in the RAM 42 of the main control board Ka. Further, each time the 牌 selection right shift button 19 or the 牌 selection left shift button 20 is pressed, the self-indication is indicated so as to correspond to the storage address of the symbol code stored in this self-selection data table. Create a program that moves the address that stores the cursor position.

  Then, when the right of the big game is established, the self-selection selection support program P9 transmits the data of the self-selection data table and the data of the initial position (initial address) of the cursor to the image control board Kc. Subsequently, each time the player presses the 牌 selection right shift button 19 or the 牌 selection left shift button 20, the type (right shift or left shift) of the press signal of this shift button is determined via the sub control board Kb. It transmits to the image control board Kc. Upon receiving this signal, the self-candidate candidate selection support program P322b of the image control board Kc displays a self-candidate candidate selection screen as shown in FIG. Then, when the player presses the heel selection right shift button 19 or the heel selection left shift button 20 and the signal type is transmitted, the self-candidate candidate selection support program P322b displays the symbol of the self-contained heel shown in FIG. Is displayed by scrolling one symbol in the right (R) or left (L) direction. At this time, as shown in FIG. 12, the symbol of the eyelid corresponding to the current cursor position is displayed at the position T.

      When the player views the screen shown in FIG. 12 displayed on the display device 14 and presses the self-decision determination button 21, the self-selection support program P9 on the main control board Ka corresponds to the cursor position at this time. Then, a process of selecting the symbol code stored in the self-selection data table as self-control is performed. In the example shown in FIG. 12, “one glance” is selected as the self-registration. In this way, when the player decides to refrain, the winning determination program P8 determines whether or not the winning combination has been completed. If the rising role cannot be completed and there are one or more remaining game balls, the player performs the throwing away operation and then fires the game ball again to attack the game ball. The operation to enter the ball 9 is performed.

      Even when the right of the big game is established, the main board control program P1 of the main control board Ka performs the throwing bowl and the 13 handling basket patterns every time the player performs the discarding bowl operation. Data is transmitted to the image control board via the sub-control board Kb. Thereby, even during the big game, the sub-board operation control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb operates the hearing determination display program P24, and as described above, the display device 14 displays the symbol of the bag that is “listening if self-sufficient”. Process to be displayed on. In addition, on the self-candidate selection screen (FIG. 12) displayed during the big game, four symbols of the kite already disclosed by the program processing are displayed darkly, and other symbols of the kite that are “listening if you are self-categorized” are other. It can also be displayed brighter than the symbol.

  In a game in which the right of the big game is established, the main board control program P1 and the winning determination program P8 indicate that a predetermined number (for example, five) of game balls enter the attacker 9 or the number of remaining game balls. If the value becomes 0 and the winning combination is not completed, it is determined that the game is over, and a process of returning the attacker 9 to a normal state, that is, a closed state in which no game ball enters, is performed. In addition, even if the big game right is established, the winning determination program P8, when the player has not completed the rising combination set in advance by the end of the game, The big game right is invalidated at that time. Therefore, when the player completes the winning combination shown in Table 2 while the right of the big game is established, the player can continue the advantageous game for operating the attacker 9 a predetermined number of times. On the other hand, when the player has acquired the chance game right, only the next game can be played with the above-mentioned big game right being established.

      In the above-described sparrow ball game machine of the present invention, a sparrow ball game machine that does not employ “kang” has been described. However, the present invention performs a process as follows to perform a sparrow ball that employs “kang”. It can also be applied to gaming machines.

  (1) The main board control program P1 of the main control board Ka transmits the control command to the sub-control board Kb when the player performs the “can” operation. When the sub-board operation control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb receives this “can” control command, the sub-board operation control program P21 performs a process of “+1” the storage area of the RAM 42 for counting the number of occurrences of “can”.

  (2) After the player performs the throwing-in operation, when the current control symbol code is transmitted from the main control board Ka, the hearing determination display program P24 on the sub-control board Kb To check the number of occurrences. When the number of occurrences is not “0”, that is, when “Kan” is generated, the symbol code (the same symbol code) in which “Kan” is performed from the symbol code stored in the RAM 42 is used. 4), and a process of deleting one of the symbol data from the symbol data from the symbol code for which “can” is performed. This process is performed as many times as the occurrence of “can”. By such a process, the current number of hands can be reduced to 13, so that the above-described hearing determination program P24 can be applied. In the search of the symbol code in which “Kan” is performed from the symbol code of the table, the table data is sorted in ascending order and stored in the RAM 42. Therefore, the same symbol code 4 is stored in the storage region of this table. This is made possible by performing a process of checking whether or not it is included.

  (3) In the sparrow ball game machine adopting “Kang” by adding the program means for performing the process of (2) above to, for example, the all-symbol hearing aid determination program P242, etc. It is possible to apply a hearing determination display means that constitutes.

      In the above description of the embodiment of the present invention, the hearing determination display program P24, the nineteen-character type number calculation program P241, the all-patterns hearing determination program P242, the seven-pair hearing determination program P25, and the Kokushi no Binaural determination program P26 are: Although the example of mounting on the sub-control board Kb has been described, it is mounted on either the main control board Ka or the image control board Kc, and the determination of the wrinkle to “listen if self-sufficient” and its design are displayed. It is also possible. Further, the program stored in the ROM 41 of each control board may be provided with a program having the above-described functions, and the configuration of the program may be a structured program that is a combination of programs created in units of processing functions.

      The sparrow ball game machine of the present invention described above is a normal game, and even in a game in which the right of big game is established, before the player performs the operation of the abandonment and performs the next self-control operation, The symbol of the kite that is “listening if self” is judged and the symbol is displayed on the display device. As a result, a player who is eager to play a sparrow ball game can accurately confirm a habit of “listening if he / she is self-sufficient”, so that he / she can enjoy a game with a sparrow ball machine with peace of mind. Furthermore, in the sparrow ball game machine of the present invention, when the player's current number is 13, the player first determines whether the player will be “up if he / she is self-sufficient”. When the heel that is “self-raising” is extracted, the support function that displays the design of this heel, and when the heel that is “self-raising” is not extracted, the above-mentioned book is displayed. If the support function for displaying the symbol of the kite to “listen if self” is provided, it is possible to provide a sparrow ball game machine with a further enhanced support function for the player.

      Further, in the sparrow ball game machine of the present invention, the determination of the heel to “listen if self” for the current hand is not performed by program processing for all combinations of 20 or more rising combinations set. , Because it employs a means to determine whether or not it will be in a hearing state by calculating the number of pairs of incisors, juniors, and pairs included in the manual, The program processing time for determination can be shortened. Further, according to the present invention, when the handpiece includes “1” and “9” of several characters, and 9 to 10 types of character fonts, the determination process of the “whispering to listen” is performed. Therefore, the processing time of the program for determining the habit of “listening if self” is reduced.

  As described above, the present invention can be shortened to 1/10 or less as compared with the conventional program processing in which all the combinations of rising combinations are determined by exchanging 27 kinds of bags. Since the processing time of the program can be remarkably shortened in this way, it becomes possible to display various support and effect screens on the display device in synchronization with various operations on the player's sparrow ball game machine, It will be possible to provide a sparrow game machine that even beginners can enjoy playing with peace of mind.
