Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine used in a game hall such as a pachinko parlor.

  In this specification, a pachislot machine is described as an example of one of the gaming machines. Therefore, a description will be given using a medal as a gaming medium for playing a game, but the gaming medium may be other media such as a pachinko ball. Including. In addition, “inserting a medal” includes not only actually inserting a medal into the medal insertion slot but also inserting (betting) a credited medal with a bet button or the like. In addition, a lottery that determines either a loser or multiple types of winning roles is selected as a winning role lottery, and the symbols that make up the winning roles are aligned on the winning line, and the winning role is selected by winning the winning role lottery. The state until winning a prize is an internal winning.

Slot machines used in pachinko parlors are called pachislot machines, and medals earned by playing games can be exchanged for various prizes. In the pachislot machine, when the start lever is pressed at the start of the game, a winning combination lottery is performed to determine one of a plurality of types of winning combinations or a loss, and the rotation of the reel is started after the winning combination lottery is completed. When a bonus combination such as BB or RB is won in the winning combination lottery and this is won, the game shifts to a bonus game mode such as BB mode or RB mode. In the bonus game mode, it is easier to obtain medals than in the normal mode. Therefore, whether or not the player has won the bonus role is an object of interest in playing the game. However, if the bonus game mode is the only opportunity to increase the number of medals, the game will be monotonous, so as one of the pachislot machines that can eliminate the monotony of the game, in addition to the bonus game mode, AT (assist time) What shifts to a mode is provided (for example, patent document 1). In the AT mode, when a small role with a medal payout is won, the medal is acquired by notifying on the liquid crystal display, for example, the order of pressing the stop button that the small role wins and the type of symbols to be stopped on the winning line. This makes it easy to increase the number of sheets. In AT mode, you can enjoy a unique interest that is not in bonus game mode, and in addition to bonus game mode, you can earn a lot of medals if you move in addition to bonus game mode or continue for a long time, so pachislot machines equipped with AT mode are Many are provided.

  However, in a pachislot machine equipped with the AT mode as described above, if the transition period of the AT mode is extended over a long period or the number of transitions increases, sometimes the player may win a huge amount of medals. This is a problem that the pachislot machine is losing its soundness due to the excessive gambling of the player. However, if the pachislot machine equipped with AT mode is stopped to solve this problem, the opportunity to increase the number of medals will be increased only in the bonus game mode, and the monotony of the game becomes a problem. There is a risk that the number of players who perform will decrease.

Even if the winning probability of replay fluctuates, the number of game media acquired by the player does not increase, so that it is possible to play the same game as in the AT mode while preventing the player from scolding the player's gambling it can.

In addition, when a special replay wins, if the winning probability of at least one of normal replay, special replay, and group replay is increased, it is possible to play a game while suppressing the consumption of game media after the special replay wins. Therefore, the player can have a sense of expectation to perform the reel stop operation so as to win a special replay.

In addition, when the special replay is won in the replay time mode, when the replay time mode ends, the consumption of the game medium increases after the special replay wins, so the reel is stopped so as not to win the special replay. The player can have a sense of expectation.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the slot machine (game machine) 11 includes a slot machine main body 12 and a front door 13. The slot machine body 12 includes a storage box 12a. The storage box 12a stores various devices such as a reel and a control board for executing a game. The front door 13 is vertically divided into two and includes an upper door 13a and a lower door 13b. The inside of the slot machine body 12 is opened and closed by an upper door 13a and a lower door 13b.

  A display window 14 is provided on the upper door 13a. A first reel 15a, a second reel 15b, and a third reel 15c are provided in the back of the display window 14. A plurality of types of symbols are arranged on the outer peripheral surfaces of the first to third reels 15a to 15c, and three symbols per reel are displayed through the display window 14 when the reels stop. In the slot machine 11, a total of five winning effective lines 16, consisting of three laterally and two diagonally, are set. Then, whether or not the winning combination has been won is displayed by the combination of symbols stopped on the winning winning line 16 when the first to third reels 15a to 15c are stopped. A liquid crystal display (notification means) 17 is provided on the side of the display window 14. From the liquid crystal display 17, the stop order of the first to third reels 15a to 15c, that is, the pressing order of the stop buttons 21a to 21c is displayed. A pair of speakers 18 are provided above the display window 14 for outputting a production sound during the game.

  The lower door 13b has a medal slot 19 for inserting medals (game media) prior to the start of the game, and a start lever 20 for starting the rotation of the first to third reels 15a to 15c to display the symbols in a variable manner. Stop buttons 21 a to 21 c for stopping the rotating reel, a payout port 23 for paying out medals to the medal tray 22, and the like are provided. When a medal is inserted into the medal slot 19, the operation of the start lever 20 is validated. When the start lever 20 is pressed after the operation is validated, a winning combination lottery is performed, and one of a plurality of types of winning combinations or a loss is detected. It is determined. BB (Special Winner) that shifts to the BB mode (special mode), which has a higher payout rate (ratio of the number of medals paid out with respect to one medal insertion) when winning, A normal replay and a special replay in which the next game can be performed without inserting medals, a group replay in which the normal replay and the special replay are grouped, and a small combination in which a prescribed number of medals are paid out when winning is set. Once BB is elected, the right to win is carried over until winning. The BB mode ends when the number of paid out medals reaches a predetermined upper limit number.

  In the normal replay and the special replay, the combinations of symbols at the time of winning are different from each other, and as the normal replay, three types of normal replays A to C having different combinations of symbols at the time of winning are provided. Accordingly, three types of group replays, group replays A to C, are provided, and the types of normal replays combined with special replays are different from each other. Specifically, the group replay A is a special replay + normal replay A, the group replay B is a special replay + normal replay B, and the group replay C is a special replay + normal replay C combination.

  When the group replay is won, the special replay is won by pressing the stop buttons 21a to 21c according to the pressing order set according to the type of group replay. Here, since there are three types of group replay, the pressing order of the stop buttons 21a to 21c is selected from among three types according to the type of group replay.

  Specifically, when the group replay A is won → the stop button 21a is pressed first, the group replay B is won → the stop button 21b is pressed first, the group replay C is the winner → the stop button 21c is pressed first, and the special replay is performed. Win a prize.

  Further, when the stop buttons 21a to 21c are pressed in a pressing order other than the pressing order corresponding to the group replays A to C, the special replay is not won and the normal replay is won. When the special replay wins in the normal mode, the next game shifts to the RT (replay time) mode. In the RT mode (replay high probability mode), the winning probabilities for each of the normal replay, special replay, and group replay are higher than in the normal mode.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the operation of the slot machine 11 is controlled by the control board 60. The control board 60 includes a CPU 60a and a memory 61. The operation of the CPU 60a is controlled by a control unit 62 (reel stop control means, game control means, special mode execution means, notification control means, replay high probability mode execution means) 62. The ROM area of the memory 61 stores a game execution program and game execution data used in the game execution process. The control unit 62 reads out a game execution program and game execution data from the memory 61 to perform processing related to the operation of the slot machine 11. Note that the RAM area of the memory 61 is used for temporary storage or rewriting of a flag indicating the result of the winning combination lottery or data indicating the type of the stopped symbol stopped on the winning winning line 16 when the game is performed. It is done.

  The medal sensor 66 detects a medal inserted from the medal slot 19 and inputs a medal detection signal to the control unit 62. The start signal sensor 67 detects that the start lever 20 has been pressed, and inputs a game start signal to the control unit 62. When the game start signal is input after the medal is inserted, the control unit 62 accepts this. Then, the control unit 62 activates the winning combination determining unit 63 in response to the game start signal. The winning combination determination unit 63 is provided with a lottery table for the normal mode, a lottery table for the RT mode, and a lottery table for the BB mode, and the winning combination lottery is performed while properly using them according to the game mode.

  In the lottery table for the normal mode, each winning combination or loss to the random number value is determined so that any one of BB, small role, normal replays A to C, special replays, three types of group replays A to C, or a loss is determined. Assignments have been made.

  In the lottery table for the RT mode, each winning combination or loss to the random value is determined so that any one of BB, small role, normal replays A to C, special replays, three types of group replays A to C, or a loss is determined. However, the number of random values assigned by the group replay is larger than the lottery table for the normal mode. Thereby, the winning probability of group replay is higher in the RT mode than in the normal mode.

  In both the normal mode and RT mode lottery tables, the winning ratios of the three types of group replays A to C and the three types of normal replays A to C are each そ れ ぞ れ.

  In the lottery table for the BB mode, only the small role and the loss are assigned, and the ratio of the random value assigned the small role is larger than the random value assigned the loss, The ratio of the random number value to which the small role is assigned is larger than the lottery table for the RT mode. As a result, in the BB mode, the winning combination of the small role is higher than that in the normal mode or the RT mode, and the small role is won almost in the game.

  When any winning combination is won in the winning combination lottery, a winning flag indicating the type is written in the RAM area of the memory 62, and when lost, a lost flag is written. The BB flag is cleared when BB wins, and the other flags are cleared when the game ends.

  When the winning combination lottery ends, the first to third reels 15a to 15c start to rotate. When the stop buttons 21 a to 21 c are pressed (reel stop operation) after the first to third reels 15 a to 15 c are rotated, a stop signal is input from the stop signal sensor 68 to the control unit 62. In response to this, the controller 62 operates the reel drive controller 69 to start stop control of the first to third reels 15a to 15c corresponding to the pressed stop buttons 21a to 21c. The stop control of the first to third reels 15a to 15c is performed by a known pull-in control method. Each of the first to third reels 15a to 15c is divided into 21 frames, and one symbol is arranged in each frame. In the pull-in control, the number of frames required until the first to third reels 15a to 15c are stopped is set to a range of 0 to 4 frames including symbols on the winning winning line 16, that is, a range of 5 frames (hereinafter referred to as "drawing range"). Is the upper limit. The number of frames to be drawn within the above-mentioned range of 5 frames according to the pressing timing of the stop buttons 21a to 21c (that is, the rotational position of the reel when the stop buttons 21a to 21c are pressed) and the pressing order of the stop buttons 21a to 21c. And the first to third reels 15a to 15c are stopped when the first to third reels 15a to 15c are rotated by the determined number of drawn frames. At this time, if the winning symbol (the symbol corresponding to the winning combination won in the winning combination lottery) is included in the drawing range, the number of drawn frames is determined so that the winning symbol stops on the winning line 16 When the winning symbol is not included, the number of frames to be drawn is determined so that the other symbols stop on the winning winning line 16.

  Each time the stop button 21a to 21c is pressed, the control unit 62 predicts a symbol that stops on the winning winning line 16 based on the reel rotation position and the number of drawn frames at that time, and stores the symbol in the memory. 61 is written in the RAM area. When all the stop buttons are pressed, the control unit 62 refers to the RAM area of the memory 61 to identify the combination of symbols that stops on the winning winning line 16, and the identified combination is stored in the memory 61. The winning determination is made as to whether or not the winning combination has won in comparison with the winning determination table.

  In addition, the combination of symbols corresponding to special replay and normal replay is such that each of the first to third reels 15a to 15c has an interval of 4 frames or less, that is, the rotational position of the first to third reels 15a to 15c. Regardless, each is arranged so that it is always within the pull-in range.

  Specifically, the special replay symbol is, for example, “T”-“T”-“T” (first reel 15a-second reel 15b-third reel 15c), and the normal replay symbol is, for example, “A”-“A”. -It is comprised by the combination of three types of symbols which consist of "A" or "B"-"B"-"B" or "C"-"C"-"C".

  Then, when the group replay A is won and the first stop button 21a is first pressed, the control unit 62 performs the pull-in control of “T” on the first to third reels 15a, and the other pressing order. If it is, pull-in control of “A” is performed on all reels.

  In addition, when the group replay B is won and the second stop button 21b is first pressed, the control unit 62 performs the pull-in control of “T” on the first to third reels 15a, and the other pressing order. If it is, “B” pull-in control is performed for all reels.

  Further, when the group replay C is won and the third stop button 21c is pressed for the first time, the control unit 62 performs the pull-in control of “T” to the first to third reels 15a, and the other pressing order. If it is, pull-in control of “C” is performed on all reels.

  In this way, when the group replay is won by performing the stop control, the special replay and the normal replay can be selectively won according to the pressing order of the stop buttons 21a to 21c.

  In addition, when winning special replays, the combination of symbols corresponding to special replays is aligned on the winning line regardless of the order in which the stop button is pressed, and depending on the type when winning normal replays A to C Stop control of the first to third reels 15a to 15c is performed so that the combinations of symbols are aligned on the winning line.

  The notification lottery unit 64 is activated for each game in the BB mode. The notification lottery unit 64 performs notification lottery using random numbers to notify the pressing order of the stop buttons 21a to 21c in which the special replay wins when the group replay is won in the normal mode after the end of the BB mode. To decide. The result of the notification lottery is fed back to the control unit 62.

  Next, the flow of game processing in the slot machine 10 configured as described above will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the game in the normal mode, when a medal is inserted into the medal insertion slot 19 and the start lever 20 is pressed, the winning combination lottery unit 63 performs a winning combination lottery. In the winning combination lottery, if any of BB, small role, normal replay, special replay, and group replay is won, a winning flag indicating the type is written in the RAM area of the memory 62, and if lost, it is a lost flag. Is written in the RAM area of the memory 62. When BB is won in the winning combination lottery and BB wins, the BB mode is entered. During the BB mode, a notification lottery is performed every game. When the BB mode ends, the mode continues to the normal mode. If the winning lottery in the BB mode is won, the stop button 21a to 21c in which the special replay is won from the liquid crystal display 17 when the group replay is won in the winning combination lottery in the normal mode that has shifted to the BB mode. Informed. When the stop buttons 21a to 21c are pressed, a winning determination is performed. If it is determined in the winning determination that the special replay has been won, the next game is shifted to the RT mode. In RT mode, the winning probability of group replay is higher than in normal mode. When BB is won during RT mode and BB wins, RT mode is terminated and the BB mode is entered. When the BB mode ends, the same processing as described above is performed. In the present embodiment, when the special replay wins, the player moves to the RT mode and the winning probability of the group replay increases. Therefore, when the pressing order of the stop buttons 21a to 21c in which the special replay wins is notified, the player When the stop buttons 21a to 21c are pressed so that a special replay wins, it becomes advantageous for advancing the game.

  In the above embodiment, the transition to the RT mode is triggered when the special replay is won, that is, the winning probability of the group replay is increased when the special replay is won, but the RT is triggered when the special replay is won. The mode may be terminated and the mode may be switched to the normal mode, that is, the winning probability of the group replay may be lowered when the special replay is won. The embodiment in this case will be described with reference to FIG. 4, but the description of the same processing portion as above, that is, the flow up to the end of the BB mode will be omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when the BB mode is completed, the mode is changed to the RT mode. In RT mode, the winning probability of group replay is higher than in normal mode. When the winning lottery in the BB mode has been won, the pressing order of the stop buttons 21a to 21c in which the special replay is won is notified from the liquid crystal display 17 when the group replay is won in the winning combination lottery in the RT mode. When the stop buttons 21a to 21c are pressed, a winning determination is performed. If it is determined in the winning determination that the special replay has been won, the RT mode ends in the game and the normal mode is entered. In the present embodiment, when the special replay is won, the RT mode is ended and the winning probability of the group replay is lowered. Therefore, when the pressing order of the stop buttons 21a to 21c for winning the special replay is notified, the player When the stop buttons 21a to 21c are pressed so that the special replay is not won, it is advantageous for advancing the game.
