  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 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 with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  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 throw-away button 16a,.

  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 sets the initialization control command when the power is turned on to the sub control board Kb, and the sub control board Kb initializes this. Control commands are transmitted to the image control board Kc. When the sub-control board Kb and the image control board Kc receive this initialization control command, the sub-control board Kb and the image control board Kc initialize the storage area of the RAM 42 in the board Kc, and the initial effect display program P3211 mounted on the image control board Kc Processing such as displaying an effect screen when ON, for example, a landscape screen on the display device 14 is performed.

  When the sub control board Kb receives this initialization control command when the power is turned on, the sub board operation control program P21 stores various image data and sound stored in the ROM 41 of the sub control board Kb as described above. 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 P3212 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 allocated in the manual storage area of the RAM 42, and then, in a predetermined order, for example, ascending order of symbol codes, that is, insulator, tube, cord , Wind tiles, and ternary tiles are sorted in order (stored) and stored in the manual storage area.

  Subsequently, the automatic layout program P5 transmits the 14 distributed 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 this distributed symbol code, it stores it in the RAM 42 and transmits these 14 distributed symbol codes to the image control board Kc.

  The sub-board operation control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb uses the disclosed number table to display the number of bags disclosed at the current game place for the 14 game symbols transmitted from the main control board Ka. Process to count. Further, when the game effect display program P3212 on the image control board Kc receives the 14 design codes, the game design display program P3212 displays an image of the design shown in FIG. Processing to be displayed on the display unit 36 is performed. In addition, while the 14 automatic arrangements are not decided, the back side of the bag or the non-display of the bag is displayed as an initial screen on the manual screen display unit 35 and the self-display unit 36 that displays the pattern of the self-selected bag. A process of displaying symbols is performed.

  Subsequently, the special game combination lottery program P6 (which operates when a normal game is being played) and the Dora lottery program P7 are activated, and the winning combination (big 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 the chance game rising combination, front and back games determined by the processing of these programs P6 and P7 (coded data) is sub-control board Kb To the image control board Kc.

  When the game effect display program P3212 of 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 of 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, and performs a process of determining whether or not the 14 hands that have been automatically arranged have already completed the winning combination. When the winning combination is completed in this determination process, the winning determination program P8 determines the predetermined rising combination and the score (the number of acquired medals) that the player can acquire. The determination is made with reference to the data in Table 2.

  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 P3212 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 sub control board Kb. Then, in the sub-control board Kb, the one-way listening state determination program P25 completes a preset combination of set-up combinations when any one of the 14 mahjong tile patterns is thrown away. It is determined whether or not a one-way listening state is reached, which is the previous listening state (step S1 in FIG. 9).

  If it is determined in step S1 that the one-way listening state has been reached, the discarding symbol candidate determination program P26 determines a discarding symbol candidate for shifting from the one-way listening state to the hearing state (step S2). ).

  Then, the rising wrinkle determination program P24 determines the rising wrinkle type by the rising wrinkle type determination program P242 based on the hearing pattern determined by the hearing pattern determination program P241. In other words, when there are a plurality of discarded spear symbol candidates determined by the discarded spear symbol candidate determination program P26, the rising spear symbol determination program P242 and the rising spear determination extraction program P243 discard each of the rising spear symbols corresponding to the discarded spear symbol operation. A determination is made for each 牌 symbol candidate (step S3).

  Then, at the time of the determination, the game effect display program P3212 as the display control means performs control so that the symbol of the heel to be self-recognized (rising heel) is displayed on the display portion 31 for rising heel by the image control board Kc. In other words, when the image control board Kc receives a control command via the sub-control board Kb, the game effect display program P3212 discards an unnecessary bag from the handboard so as to prompt the user to discard an unnecessary bag. All of the discarded eyelid symbol candidates determined by the candidate determining program P26, the upward eyelid symbol determining program P242 and the upward eyelid determining / extracting program P243, and the upward eyelid symbols corresponding to each of the discarded eyelid symbol candidates, are displayed on the display device 14 The process displayed on 31 is performed (step S4). It should be noted that, when displaying on the display portion 31 such as the rising eyelid, the voice / sound effect output program P41 may be operated to perform a process of prompting together with the voice.

  As shown in FIG. 3, as shown in FIG. 3, the display unit 31 displays the hand-claw “three-cylinder, four-cylinder, five-cylinder, and six-cylinders” displayed on the hand-claw display unit 35 and the self-cage display unit 36. , Six cylinders, seven cylinders, seven cylinders, eight cylinders, nine cylinders, nine cylinders, nine cylinders, south, south, south ”are all displayed.

  Here, for example, when a player discards “three cylinders” by paying attention to the number of rising kites (waiting kites), the resulting climbing kit pattern may be “four cylinders, five cylinders”. “Cylinders, Seven Cylinders, Eight Cylinders”, and four types of waiting queues with four types. Also, for example, if you throw a “nine-cylinder” in order to proceed with the game after confirming the sparrow head, the possible rising-up symbol will be “two-cylinder, five-cylinder, eight-cylinder”. It is a three-faced stretch with three types of cocoons. In these cases, the display of the rising haze display unit 31 switches from the state shown in FIGS. 3 and 7 to a state showing only a plurality of types of waiting queues obtained as a result of the throwing away operation.

  That is, the player selects / determines a desired one from among the thrown away candidates displayed on the display portion 31 such as the raised tile, and the thrown away buttons 16a, 16b, 16c,. Alternatively, when any one of the self-discarding buttons 17 is selected (turned on) and this spear is thrown away, the throwing spear determination program P26 performs a throwing spear operation and sets it as a throwing spear based on this throwing spear selection signal. The symbol code of the bag is stored in the discarded bag storage area of the RAM 42 in the main control board Ka. Further, the main board operation control program P1 performs a process of deleting 13 symbols from the handbook stored in the handbook storage area of the RAM 42 to make 13 handboards.

  The main board operation control program P1 sends the discarded design code and the 13 design codes to the image control board through the sub control board Kb and the sub control board Kb together with the control command. Processing to transmit to Kc is performed. When the game effect display program P3212 of 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 discard symbol display unit 34, and the symbol codes of the 13 hand rules are displayed. When received, a process of displaying the symbols of the cocoons corresponding to these symbol codes on the hand pallet display unit 35 is performed. At this time, the back side of the bag is displayed on the self-displaying portion 36. Note that the throwing-out display 34 displays a horizontal “white” symbol resulting from a reach operation at an appropriate time.

  Subsequently, the main board operation control program P1 of the main control board Ka operates the game ball management program P4 after the above-described processing related to the player's disposal operation is completed, and sets the game ball to the game ball launch position. Processing to send a ball. Then, the player can operate the game ball launch lever 4 to launch a game ball into the game board surface 2.

  When a player launches a game ball and this game ball enters any of the entrances 11a, 11b, 11c,..., A sensor (not shown) detects the game ball and generates an incoming signal. . The game ball management program P4 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 rising role is set in advance, and a score that the player can acquire is obtained, and these data are obtained. Then, a process of transmitting to the image control board Kc via the sub 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 cannot be applied even if the reach button 18 is operated. After operating the reach button 18, one of the discard buttons 16 a, 16 b, 16 c,... Is operated to discard one of the baskets, or the self-discard button 17 is operated. When the self-cutting is performed, the design of the discarded candy is displayed on the discarded candy display unit 34 in the horizontal direction. In addition, the back-draft display unit 30 also displays the back-draft 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 receiving the control command, the game effect display program P3212 of the image control board Kc performs a process of displaying the design of the design code of the throwing trash that is transmitted immediately thereafter on the throwing trash display portion 34 in a horizontal direction.

  In addition, when the game field is in a reach state, the game balls launched by the player do not become a kite that completes the rise of the kite (self-suspecting) corresponding to the symbols entered into the entrances 11a, 11b, 11c,. In some cases, the main board control program P1 automatically processes this self-discard as a waste. This eliminates the need for the player to operate the discard button 16a,... After the reach operation.

  Note that the maximum number of points that can be obtained in one game under the control of the winning determination program P8 is, for example, up to 10 points, and an upper limit is set. Further, 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 pattern 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 game end button 23 is pressed because the remaining number of game balls becomes 0, or when the game start button 24 is pressed. If the predetermined combination of rising combinations shown in FIG. 2 is not completed, the game end control command is transmitted to the image control board Kc via the sub-control board Kb. Then, the game effect display program P3212 on the image control board Kc displays “game over” on the display device 14 and notifies the player of the end of the game.

  Even when the combination of rising combinations is completed, if the display of the remaining game ball number display section 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 P3212 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 operates 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 P3212 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 P3221 on the image control board Kc alternately displays the explanation of the rising role and the display of establishment of the big game right on the display unit 31 of the display device 14 at predetermined time intervals. Then, 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 for a predetermined number of games, for example, 14 games in the next game including the game. In the present embodiment, 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 is executed by the player performing the throwing operation from the main control board Ka to 13 hands. Control is performed so that the above-described rising wrinkle determination program P24 is activated each time a spear symbol code is transmitted.

  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 by the processes of the self-selection support program P9 for the main control board Ka and the self-candidate selection support program P3222 for the image control board Kc.

  According to the present embodiment described above, when a player is in a state of listening in the course of a game and there are a plurality of discarded samurai symbol candidates, the player can discard the abandoned symbol candidates and the ascending habits displayed on the ascending habit display unit 31. By visually recognizing the symbol, you can quickly determine the symbol that should be thrown away without having to worry about what to throw away and wait for what to wait. . As a result, it is possible to use the game time effectively without wasting it, to realize a splendid ball game with good operability, and to realize a smooth game progression regardless of familiarity or inexperience with the sparrow ball game. .
