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, FIG. 7 shows the current hand symbol, the discard symbol, and the symbol of the kite that has been determined to have been transmitted from the sub-control board Kb. The program is provided with various display means such as a display process, a process of displaying the score obtained when the rising combination is completed, and the like.

  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 P3221 and a self-candidate candidate selection support program P3222 for 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 P3222 is a program that is activated when the player has acquired the right to a special game. The self-candidate candidate design 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 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 flowcharts of FIGS.

  In one game (game), in response to the player inserting a medal into the medal insertion slot 15 and pressing the game start button 24, the automatic layout program P5 draws and draws 14 hand symbols. Start by deciding and serving. 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 buttons 16a, 16b,. It will be.

  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 P3211 mounted on the image control board Kc generates an effect when the power is turned on. Processing such as displaying a screen, for example, a landscape screen 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 various image data and audio 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.

  Then, when the process starting with the “Sparrow ball normal process” label shown in FIG. 9 is started, the “medal insertion process” is performed in step S1. Here, as described above, when a game medal is inserted 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 reserve number. Do.

  Subsequently, in step S2, the main board operation control program P1 determines whether or not there is a medal stored number (credit) displayed on the medal stored number display unit 26. As a result, if it is determined that there is no credit, the process of step S2 is repeated, and if it is determined that there is a credit, the process proceeds to step S3 to determine whether or not the game start button (start switch) 24 is turned on. judge.

  In step S3, when it is determined that the game start button 24 is pressed by the player and the game start button 24 is turned on, the process proceeds to step S4 to execute “game initial setting”. On the other hand, if the game start button 24 is not turned on in step S3, the processing from step S2 is repeated.

  In the “game initial setting” in step S4, when the main board operation control program P1 detects a game start signal from the game start button 24, a game start control command is image-controlled via the sub control board Kb. Transmit to the substrate Kc. Thereby, the game effect display program P3212 of the image control board Kc displays the effect image at the start of the game on the display device 14 based on this control command, and the sound is output from the speaker 6 by the sound / sound effect output program P41. Output. In this way, one game of the sparrow ball game machine can be started.

  After the “game initial setting” process, an “automatic layout process” is executed in step S5. In this “automatic arrangement process”, the automatic arrangement program P5 is activated by the control of the main board operation control program P1, and the 14 arrangement patterns necessary for starting the game are automatically generated by the program process. The lottery will be decided. 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, the ascending order of the symbol codes, that is, Sort in the order of cord, wind, and ternary (sort) and store them in the hand memory 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 for the sub-control board Kb displays the number of bags to be disclosed at the current game site for the 14 game symbols transmitted from the main control board Ka. (Not shown) is counted. 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 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.

  Succeedingly, in a step S6, a discarded waste selection process is executed. That is, the player proceeds with the game, for example, by performing an operation of selecting a discarded basket from symbols of the basket displayed on the hand basket display unit 35 and the self-portrait display unit 36. Then, when the player decides on the design of the throwing bag, the player selects (turns on) one of the throwing buttons 16a, 16b, 16c,. Discard this bag. On the basis of this discarding pot selection signal, the main board operation control program P1 stores the symbol code of the bowl that has been discarded by performing the discarding operation in the discarding storage area of the RAM 42 in the main control board Ka, and The main board operation control program P1 performs a process of deleting 13 symbol codes that have been discarded from the manuals stored in the manual storage area of the RAM 42 to make 13 manuals.

  On the other hand, when the sub-board operation control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb receives the above 13 hand code symbols, the hearing pattern determination program P241, the rising-knot determination program P242 constituting the rising-hook determination program P24, and the rising By operating the wrinkle determination extraction program P243, as described above, it is determined whether or not there is a wrinkle that should be self-recognized next in order to complete the rising hand for the current 13 hands, and the rising hand is completed. When the cocoon is extracted, the display device 14 is caused to perform processing for displaying the design of the cocoon.

  Subsequently, the main board operation control program P1 includes the image control board via the sub-control board Kb and the sub-control board Kb together with the control command of the discarded design code and the 13-hand design code. 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, as shown in FIG. 3, the back side of the bag is displayed on the self-displaying portion 36.

  In step S7, a one-ball firing process is executed. That is, the main board operation control program P1 of the main control board Ka operates the game ball management program P4 when the above-described processing related to the player's throwing-in operation is completed, and places the game ball at the game ball launch position (not shown). )) 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.

  Subsequently, in step S8, a gate passing process such as determining whether or not a game ball has passed through the special entrance gates 11a and 11b is performed. In this determination, when the game ball launched by the player passes through the special entrance gates 11a and 11b, the ball passes by a sensor (not shown) installed in advance corresponding to the special entrance gates 11a and 11b. Is detected and an incoming signal corresponding to this is generated. The incoming signal generated by entering the special entrance gates 11a and 11b is transmitted to the sub-control board Kb, and the sub-control board Kb responds to the received incoming signal and the game value grant program P26. Will start control.

  Here, the gate passing process will be described with reference to FIG. First, the process starting with the label “gate passage process” will be described. In this process, first, in step S31, it is determined whether or not the game ball has passed through any of the special entrance gates 11a and 11b. As a result, if it has not passed through the gate, the process returns and the process is terminated. However, when a game entry signal for entering the special entry gates 11a and 11b is received by the game value grant program P26, It is determined that the sphere has passed through the gate, and the process proceeds to step S32. In step S32, a random value is acquired. In the processing loop of steps S6 to S15, in the first stage before the special entrance gates 11a and 11b are validated in step S10, the random number is acquired even if the game ball passes through the gate in step S8. The random number acquisition is executed from the loop after the gates 11a and 11b are enabled in step S10.

  The random number value can be generated as a hard random number by a high-speed counter (not shown) provided in the sub-control board Kb. In the present embodiment, the winning range of the acquired random number value is set in advance as shown in Table 3, for example. That is, as the big chance game role and the chance game role determined by the lottery performed in response to the entrance to the special entrance gates 11a and 11b, Daishiki, character one color, clear one color, small three yuan, and two higuchi are prepared, and the winning ranges of the random numbers acquired for each special role are as shown in the table. The random number value can be generated as a soft random number by an R register instead of the high-speed counter.

  Subsequently, in step S33, it is determined whether or not either a big chance game combination or a chance game combination is won. As a result, if the winning combination has not been won, the process returns and the processing is terminated. In this step S34, it is determined whether or not all the winning combinations have been displayed on the big chance game combination display unit 32 and the chance game combination display unit 33. If all the combinations have not been displayed, the process proceeds to step S35. If all are displayed, the process proceeds to step S36. In this step S36, one of the big chance game combination and the chance game combination displayed on the big chance game combination display unit 32 and the chance game combination display unit 33 is changed by lottery.

  In step S35, it is determined whether or not all the chance game combinations have been displayed. As a result, if all the chance game combinations have not been displayed, the process proceeds to step S37, and all the chance game combinations have been displayed. If there is, the process proceeds to step S38. In step S37, a chance game combination is determined by lottery, the determined chance game combination is added and displayed on the display device 14, and then the process returns to end the process. On the other hand, in step S38, the big chance game combination is determined by lottery, and after the determined big chance game combination is added and displayed on the display device 14, the process returns.

  Specifically, the lottery in steps S36, S37, and S38 is performed as follows. In other words, the special game combination lottery program P6 is activated to determine the winning combination (big chance game combination) that can acquire the right of the big chance game and the rising combination (chance game combination) that can acquire the right of the chance game.

  Then, each data (coded data) of the symbols of the big chance game combination and the chance game combination determined by the processing of the special game combination lottery program P6 is sent to the image control board via the sub control board Kb together with the control command. Sent to Kc. Then, when the game effect display program P3212 of the image control board Kc receives the code of the rising combination that can acquire the special combination, the big chance game combination is displayed on the big chance game combination display unit 32 as shown in FIG. Processing for displaying the game combination on the chance game combination display unit 33 is performed.

  Subsequently, in step S9 in FIG. 9, a ball entry process is executed. In this process, after being launched and passing through the special entrance gates 11a, 11b, or directly without being involved in these special entrance gates 11a, 11b, the game balls are either entrance entrances 11c, 11d, 11e,. When the ball enters the ball, the ball is detected by a sensor (not shown) installed in advance corresponding to the ball entrances 11c, 11d, 11e... And a ball signal corresponding to the detected ball is generated. The entrance signal generated by entering the entrances 11c, 11d, 11e,... Is transmitted to the main control board Ka, and the game control management program P4 receives the received entrance signal on the main control board Ka. A process of storing the symbol codes of the baskets (self-speaking) corresponding to the entrances 11c, 11d, 11e,.

  Next, in step S10, the special entrance gate effective switching program P25 effectively switches the game ball passage detection function of the special entrance gates 11a and 11b, and in step S11, the pass effective time of the special entrance gates 11a and 11b. Set to 2 seconds. The passage valid time starts counting in step S21 in FIG. 10, and the process starting with the label “timer interrupt process” in FIG. 10 proceeds in parallel with the process shown in the main flowchart of FIG. In the present embodiment, the effective passage time is set to 2 seconds. However, the time setting is not limited to 2 seconds and can be appropriately changed according to the design.

  In FIG. 10, after counting the effective passing time of the special entrance gates 11a and 11b in step S21, whether or not the effective passing time (2 seconds) of the special entrance gates 11a and 11b has elapsed in step S22. Determine whether. As a result, when the passing effective time does not elapse, the process returns. When the time elapses, the process proceeds to step S23 to switch the special entrance gates 11a and 11b to invalid.

  Subsequently, a winning determination is performed in step S12 in FIG. That is, the main board operation control program P1 activates the winning determination program P8 to determine whether or not the 14 hands have been raised and the winning combination has been completed. When the winning determination program P8 determines that the hand has been raised and has completed the winning combination, as described above, the determination as to which rising combination is set in advance and the score that the player can acquire (acquisition) The number of medals is determined with reference to the data in Table 2 above, and data such as the winning combination and the score obtained is transmitted 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 it is determined by the winning determination program P8 that the winning combination has not been completed, the main board operation control program P1 displays a screen for prompting the player to discard one unnecessary bag from the table. A control command for performing 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 P3212 performs a process of displaying a message on the display device 14 for prompting an operation of discarding one unnecessary bag from the table. At this time, the voice / sound effect output program P41 may be operated to perform a process of prompting together with the voice.

  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 (MAX value). 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.

  Subsequently, in step S13, it is determined whether or not the payout button (that is, the checkout switch) 22 is turned on. If the result is that it is turned on, the process proceeds to step S14, and if not, the process proceeds to step S15. . In this step S15, it is determined whether or not the remaining game balls among the 14 available game balls have become zero. As a result, if it is not 0, the series of processing from step S6 is repeated, and if it is 0, the process proceeds to step S14.

  Subsequently, in step S14, processing for invalidating the game ball passage detection functions of both the special entrance gates 11a and 11b enabled in step S9 is executed. This invalidation process is not executed when the special entry gates 11a and 11b are switched to invalid as the passage effective time (2 seconds) has elapsed in step S23 of FIG. Subsequently, in step S16, after the medal payout process is executed, the process is repeated from step S2.

  By the way, if the winning combination is a rising combination that can acquire the right of the big chance game, which is one of the special games set in advance, the winning determination program P8 has a rising combination that can acquire the right of the big chance game. A control command indicating completion 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 an explanation display of the rising role and a display of establishment of the big chance game right at predetermined time intervals on the rising eye display unit 31 of the display device 14. Then, a process of notifying the player that the right of the big chance game has been established is performed.

  When the right of the big chance game is established, as described above, it becomes possible to operate the attacker 9 for a predetermined number of games, for example, 14 games in the next and subsequent games including the game. In the present embodiment, even in a game for which a big chance game right has been established, the sub-board operation control program P21 for the sub-control board Kb is thrown by the player from the main control board Ka and performs thirteen games. Control is performed so that the above-described rising wrinkle determination program P24 is activated each time the symbol code of the hand is transmitted.

  In a game in which the right of a big chance game is established, when a player fires 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 board operation control program P <b> 1 opens the attacker 9 and controls the game ball so that it easily enters 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, the automatic layout program P5 determines the layout design by lottery at the start of one game, and the main board operation control program P1 performs the throwing-in operation after displaying the selected mahjong tile design. In response to the selection, the corresponding mahjong tile is selected from the mahjong tile patterns, and the gate passing determination program P27 follows the selection process, and the game ball that has been fired is one of the special entry gates 11a and 11b. Until a predetermined condition is satisfied from when the game ball enters the entrance 11c, 11d, 11e... When the game ball passing detection function of the special ball gates 11a and 11b is enabled and the game value passing program P26 passes the special ball gates 11a and 11b in the valid switching state, Since the game value that is advantageous in the game in the middle is given, the player effectively switches the game ball passage detection function to receive the game value in which the big chance game role and the chance game role increase in the current game. The special entry gates 11a and 11b thus obtained tend to be played so that a large number of special entry gates 11a and 11b can be quickly aimed at until a predetermined time, that is, a predetermined time (2 seconds) elapses.

  As a result, a throw-away operation selection process for obtaining a game ball to enter the special entrance gates 11a and 11b is quickly performed, and the progress time from the start to the end of one game can be shortened. As well as the pachinko machine's original gameplay of aiming for a specific entrance. In other words, before the counting of the predetermined time is completed, or until the number of game balls given for each throwing-in operation reaches a predetermined number, the game balls can be transferred to the special entrance gates 11a and 11b that are effectively switched. In order to enter the ball quickly, there is a high possibility that the throwing-in operation will be performed quickly and the progress time of one game will be shortened.

  In addition, the game value grant program P26 determines one of a plurality of special roles (big chance game role, chance game role) by lottery as game value addition, and adds it to the already determined big chance game role or chance game role. Since the type of role is increased in the form, the player can have a sense of expectation as to what special role will be determined (increased) as a result of the lottery, while taking into consideration the tricks by the determined special role The game can be developed so as to establish the most feasible rising role while taking into account the special role, and the gameability is improved.

  In the above-described embodiment, the process related to the lottery / decision of the big chance game combination and the chance game combination is performed as the gate passing process. Instead, the process related to the score increase is performed instead. You can also.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 12, when the process starting with the label of the gate passing process is started, it is first determined in step S41 whether or not any of the special entrance gates 11a and 11b has passed (that is, passed through the gate). To do. As a result, if it has not passed, the process returns and the process ends. If it has passed, the process proceeds to step S42, and it is determined whether or not the increase score is the maximum value (MAX value). As a result, if it is not the MAX value, a random value is acquired in step S43.

  This random number value can be generated as a hard random number by a high-speed counter (not shown) provided in the sub-control board Kb. The winning range of the acquired random number value is set as shown in Table 4. That is, +1 point, +2 point, +3 point, +4 point, +5 point, +7 point, as an increase score by the score increasing device determined by the lottery performed in response to the entrance to the special entrance gate 11a, 11b, +10 points are prepared, and the winning ranges of the obtained random number values at each of these points are as shown in the table. The random number value can be generated as a soft random number by an R register instead of the high-speed counter.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the random value acquired in step S43 has been won for an increase score by the score increasing device (step S44). As a result, if it is not won, the process is returned and the process is terminated. If it is won, the process proceeds to step S45, and the increase score of the score increasing device is set so as to correspond to the won increase score.

According to this example, since the game value grant program P26 increases the score of the winning combination as granting of the game value, the player can have a sense of expectation for the increase of the score when the rising role is established, Playability is improved. Then, the game value grant program P26 is, so to change the obtained points in the lottery, the player can have a sense of expectation on whether the score at the time that passed a rise combination is how much increase, the game of Will be improved.

  The game value granting program P26 can be configured to determine the number of games by lottery as game value addition and add (increase) the number of games to the game already determined by the game lottery program P7. In that case, the player can have a sense of expectation as to which of the kites will become more dredged as a result of the lottery, and the game will be established so as to establish the most feasible rising role while keeping a fixed draft in mind. It can be expanded and the gameability is improved.

  In the present embodiment, the sparrow ball game machine 1 has been described in which a game is automatically determined by lottery based on the control of the automatic game program P5 at the start of one game. Not only, but at the start of one game, a predetermined number (for example, 14) of game balls are manually launched into the game board surface portion 2 and appropriately placed in any of the entrances 11c, 11d, 11e,. It can also be applied to a type of sparrow ball game machine to be determined.
