Description

  The present invention relates to a sparrow ball game machine equipped with means for assisting the progress of a game so that the game can be enjoyed even for a player who has little knowledge of mahjong and a game experience of a sparrow ball game machine, and also for abundant players. It is about.

  In the sparrow ball game machine, a plurality of entrances corresponding to the type of mahjong tiles (hereinafter referred to as “coffin”) are provided in the surface of the game board, and one unnecessary coffin is selected from the player's 14 manuals. After performing the operation of “throwing cage” that throws away the game ball, the player performs the operation of a spider that launches one game ball (hereinafter referred to as “self-sucker”), and corresponds to the entrance where the game ball enters. The symbol is added to the hand as a self-contained trap. If the combination of the 14 hand-stamped symbols has not been completed in advance as a result of the above-mentioned self-stitching operation, the unnecessary scissors are again removed from the hand-stamp. Select one and perform the “discard” operation. In this way, the player fires up to a predetermined number (for example, 11) of game balls to perform his own operation, and completes a combination of rising combinations set in advance for the 14 hands. Then, a predetermined number of medals can be obtained as a prize for each rising combination. Furthermore, when this rising combination is a specific rising combination set for each game, the special gaming combination advantageous to the player as compared with the normal game (normal game) for the next predetermined number of games. (Bonus game role) can be played.

  In a normal sparrow ball game machine, there are two types of special game combinations, a big game combination and a chance game combination. A big game combination is a state in which a player is in an advantageous state for a predetermined number of games from the next time when the game is played in a specific rising combination (for example, Osangen) preset by lottery as a big game combination for each game. It means a game that can acquire the right to proceed with the game. In the game that has acquired the right of the big game role, the passage opening (attacker operation opening) on the game board surface becomes effective, and when the game ball passes through the attacker operation opening, the special entry opening (attacker) opens. Each time a player enters a game ball into the attacker, the player can arbitrarily select a desired kite as his / her own by operating the kite selection button or the like. As a result, the game that has acquired the right of the big game role can be easily raised. When the player completes the winning combination for the game that has acquired the right of the big game, the player can play the game in a state where the right of the big game role is established for a predetermined number of games from the next time. .

  The chance game combination is a bonus game combination that can be obtained by completing a specific rising combination set by lottery as a chance game combination for each game. When you complete the rising role of the chance game role, the number of points that can be obtained in this game is added from the normal game rising role (for example, 2 times), or only the next one game of the above big game role When the right is established, that is, when the game ball is passed through the attacker operating port, the attacker opens, and each time one game ball is inserted into the attacker, the player can select a desired one by operating the selection button etc. It becomes possible to select the trap to be used as self-restraint. Therefore, the player can acquire more medals when the special game right is obtained. The normal game refers to a game that has not acquired the right of the big game role or the chance game role.

  Conventionally, the sparrow ball game machine has a drawback that it is difficult for a player who has little knowledge of mahjong to easily play a game. The reason for this is that there are more than 20 combinations of rising combinations in the sparrow ball game machine, there are various combinations of kites to complete this rising combination, and the size of the rising combination for each rising combination. That is, the number of medals that can be obtained by the player is different. In particular, for a player who has little knowledge of mahjong, in order to complete the uplifting role more quickly, a player should add one kite to his current thirteen manuals, or the current 14 It is impossible to immediately judge a bag that should be thrown away as an unneeded bag.

  In order to solve such a problem, for example, the following patent document has been proposed as a mahjong gaming machine provided with means (assist means) for assisting a player in progressing a game.

JP 7-155426 A JP 2003-62333 A

  In the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, it is determined by the hearing determination means and the self-determination determination means whether the game ball is inserted into the entrance corresponding to which basket next and the rising combination is completed. A sparrow ball game machine is described in which, when operated, a lamp at the entrance that can complete the rising role is turned on. However, in Patent Document 1, each time a self-tapping or throwing-in operation is performed, a puddle to be pruned or a plow to be thrown away is determined, and the determined peg is clearly indicated to the player, for example, No means for displaying on the display device is described.

  Patent Document 2 describes means for advising a player's determination of game progress by turning on an advice button for a portable mahjong game device or the like having a plurality of opponents. In Patent Document 2, it is possible to select an advice function using a screen and an interactive method with respect to selection of “emphasis on early agari” or “consideration of transliteration”, selection of “discarding instruction”, etc. in order to determine a goal of a rising role It is described to do. Further, Patent Document 2 also describes that, when “discarding instruction” is selected, a mark is given to a bag to be discarded from the hand symbol displayed on the display device.

  In the invention described in Patent Document 1, it is determined whether or not the current hand is in a hearing state. This is a sparrow ball game machine in which when the player presses the help switch, the entrance corresponding to the basket to be refrained is lit with a lamp. However, in Patent Document 1, each time a self-tapping or throwing-in operation is performed, a puddle to be pruned or a puddle to be thrown away is determined, and the determined peg is clearly indicated to the player. Assist means, for example, means for displaying on a display device are not described. Furthermore, the patent document does not describe specific means for determining whether or not the current procedure is in a hearing state.

  The invention described in Patent Document 2 above is a mahjong game device having an assist function such as throwing away baskets, but is not a so-called sparrow ball game machine using a game ball.

  For the sparrow ball game machine, which has a spear with the spear symbol corresponding to the entrance where the game ball has entered, for players who have little knowledge of mahjong and less experience with sparrow ball game machines, In order to complete the rising role faster and more reliably, before each player's abandonment operation, and the self-restriction operation, these abandoned and self-removal traps, especially the current If one of the 14 hands is thrown away, it becomes important to assist by clearly indicating this "Hearing to hear" if it is turned off. . The reason for this is that it is more difficult to judge “if you want to hear” than “if you want to go up”. Therefore, if a player who has little knowledge of mahjong or game experience with a sparrow ball game machine selects a habit to listen when he turns it off, a habit to refrain, and a habit to abandon, Since it is possible to complete the rising role more reliably, the game can be enjoyed with high interest.

  As for the method of determining whether the current procedure is in the state of “listen if you turn it off” and “listen if you turn it off” by program processing, A method of creating and determining a determination processing logic is conceivable. However, if such a determination process is performed for each rising role, depending on the situation of the manual data, the program processing time may take several seconds or more, and there is a possibility that a waiting time may occur in the game progress of the player. come.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an assist means that can further enhance the interest of game progression for a player who has little knowledge of mahjong or a game experience of a sparrow ball game machine, and a player who has abundant game experience. In particular, with regard to the current skill of the player, it is possible to assist the player in a timely manner with respect to the player's game progress, including “the player who listens if he / she turns it off” It is to provide a sparrow ball game machine.

According to the present invention, a game entrance surface corresponding to a plurality of types of mahjong tiles is arranged, and the design of the mahjong tile corresponding to the entrance of the game ball entered is regarded as self-regulation by the operation of the game. A means for adding a code to the manual data stored in the storage device, a discarding means for discarding an unnecessary symbol code from the manual data as a disposable garbage, and the symbol code is added by the operation of the driver. When the raised hand combination data completes a combination of rising combinations set in advance, means for paying out a predetermined number of medals for each rising combination as a prize, and display means for displaying an effect image on a display device A sparrow ball game machine equipped with
If the hand data before performing the discarding operation is cut, it is determined whether or not it is in a hearing state. If the hand data is turned off, the hand data determined to be in the hearing state is determined from the hand data. When any one of the symbol codes is discarded as a temporary discard cage, if the symbol data to be heard is judged to be in a hearing state when it is turned off, the symbol code of the song to be heard is judged to be a hearing decision means.
A means for displaying on the display device before the player performs the operation of the throwing-off as a piece to be thrown away as the symbol corresponding to the symbol code of the piece to be heard if the clip is cut;
Further, if it is turned off, the hearing judgment judging means discards the hand data obtained by discarding the symbol code of the bag to be heard if it is turned off from the manual data before the operation of the throwing away as a temporary throwing hand. Means for determining the symbol code of the kite that rises if it is turned off in order to complete the combination. If the number of symbol codes of the kite that will rise if it is self-determined is determined from among the symbol codes of the kites to be heard, the symbol code of the kites to be heard if it is cut is determined as the kite to be discarded It is a sparrow ball game machine equipped with means.

Further, according to the present invention, the gaming machine operation control means may be configured for the manual data that is not in the “listen if turned off” state.

  Note that the state of “listening if cut” refers to the state that the 13 handcuffs of the 14 handcuffs are discarded when one unnecessary part is thrown away as a spear. Indicates that it will be in a state. In addition, the above-mentioned “牌 to hear when cut” refers to this unnecessary for listening to the thirteen hands when the unnecessary one is thrown away from the 14 hands. I show nasty habits.

  Furthermore, the above-mentioned “general rising combination” is not a rising combination consisting of a special combination of frogs such as “Kokushi Musou” or “Seven Pairs”, but 14 pieces of hand movement data are one set of sparrow heads. This indicates a rising combination composed of a total of four combinations of “knot” and “junko”, and does not indicate a specific name of the rising combination. In addition, “the heel that rises if you refrain” means that 13 hands are in a state of hearing, and if you add one hand to these 13 hands and add it, Shows this self-contained trap that can be raised.

The sparrow ball game machine of the present invention has the following effects.
(1) Before the player performs the throwing-in operation every time, it is determined whether or not the current 14 hands are in the “listen if cut” state. Then, if it is determined that the hand is in the “listen if cut off” state, this “cage that will be heard if cut off” is further determined. In addition, when there are multiple “牌 to hear if cut”, when these 牌 are thrown away as temporary trash, the number of 牌 that will rise if they sing themselves is the largest. In order to assist the player, the symbol of “the song that will be heard if turned off” is displayed on the display device.
As a result, it is possible to assist as a throwing-away kite with a lot of waiting to become "If you self-defeat", so a gaming machine that can assist a player with a kind throwing-away kite Can be provided.

  The game ball management program P4 is a program that performs the following processing based on the control of the main control program P1 of the main control board Ka.

  (1) At the start of the game, the remaining number of game balls stored in the RAM 42a is set to an initial set value, for example, 11. As a result, if the player cannot complete the winning combination by firing 11 game balls, the game is game over.

  (2) When an operation signal for the throwing-in basket is detected from the throwing-in button switch 19a,..., Etc., control is performed to send one gaming ball to the gaming 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 13a, 13b, 13c, etc., and the entrance signal is detected, the number of remaining game balls is set to “1”. Subtract.

  The automatic catering program P5 is a program for performing a process of automatically and randomly determining 14 symbols of the catering at the start of one game. This automatic catering program P5 uses the random numbers generated by the random number generating means, and uses 14 kinds of symbols (symbol codes) from 27 types used in the sparrow ball game machine 1, a total of 108 rods. The process of determining is performed. In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, for example, hexadecimal codes are set for the 27 types of cocoons to “牌” to “medium”, and each symbol code includes four codes. A numerical value is assigned. The symbol code data table shown in FIG. 8 is registered in the ROM 41a in advance. The automatic layout program P5 performs a process of determining 14 symbols for the symbols by randomly selecting a numerical value assigned to each symbol code using the random numbers described above.

  The special game combination lottery program P6 is a program for determining, by lottery, a winning combination that can acquire the right of a special game combination for each game from among predetermined rising combinations. For example, the rising role that can acquire the right of the big game role is 1 out of 5 types of rising roles: “Kokushi Musou”, “Daisangyuan”, “Kyuren Baoji”, “Ichitsutsukan”, “Character Unicolor” The seed is determined by lottery. In addition, the winning roles that can acquire the right of the chance game role are, for example, the rising roles of “Ippontsu”, “Seven Pairs”, “Three Darks”, “Peace”, “Ichiguchi”, and “Tang Yao” 2 types are decided by lottery. The method of determining the winning combination that can acquire the right of the special game combination by lottery is determined by lottery using a random number of a predetermined number of digits generated by the program processing. The Dora lottery program P7 is a program for determining a front Dora by lottery in the same manner at the start of the game.

  The winning determination program P8 stores the 14 hand data stored in the RAM 42a 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 determining whether or not a combination of a set rising combination is set. As the winning combination, as shown in FIG. 9, the winning combination-based acquired medal number data table, that is, the code of the rising combination and the score (the number of acquired medals) that the player can acquire for the rising combination are won in advance. It is stored in the determination program P8 or the ROM 41a. If it is determined that the winning determination program P8 completes the winning combination for the current 14 manuals, the number of acquired medals is obtained with reference to the data table shown in FIG. In addition, a process of transmitting the rising combination code, the number of acquired medals, and the like to the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd via the sub-control board Kb is performed.

Note that when 14 hand data items complete a rising combination, if the combination of the rising hand data includes “table,” “white,” “發,” “medium,” As shown in FIG. 9, three medals are added to the number of medals earned by the rising combination for each combination of these bags.
In addition, when the player's hand data completes the combination of the winning combination, the winning determination program P8 determines which rising combination is completed from the rising combination code shown in FIG. The determination of the rising combination code is performed by previously registering a rising combination determination data table composed of the combination data of the kites for determining the rising combination for each rising combination code in the winning determination program P8. It becomes possible.

  When a signal indicating that a game ball has entered the attacker 11 is input to the attacker 11 in the game that has acquired the special gamer's right, the self-restriction selection support program P9 displays the screen of the first display device 10 to the player. This is a program for supporting an operation of arbitrarily selecting a symbol of a kite to be self-contained by an interactive method.

  Next, the configuration of the program installed in the ROM 41b of the sub control board Kb will be described. As shown in FIG. 10, the sub-control board Kb mainly includes a main control program P21, a communication control program P22, a lamp control program P23, and an assist program P24.

  The main control program P21 of the sub control board Kb is a program for decoding various control commands and control data transmitted from the main control board Ka and controlling the execution of the above programs.

The communication control program P22 is a program for receiving data from the main control board Ka and communicating with the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd. When the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd receive these various control commands and their control data transmitted from the sub-control board Kb, the first image control board Kc is changed to the first image control board Kc by program processing. On the first display device 10, the second image control board Kd displays an effect image and information on the second display device 16, and further outputs an effect sound and sound effect from the speaker 6.
The lamp control program P23 is a program for controlling the lighting and extinguishing of the lamps 8 and 14 based on the control command and its control data transmitted from the main control board Ka.

  The assist program P24 is a program for performing the following processing (1) to (4) on the current manual data transmitted from the main control board Ka, and the processing content is a feature of the present sparrow ball game machine 1. It is what you make.

  (1) 14 hand data automatically arranged and the hand data that does not constitute the rising hand, and 14 hand data after the player has performed the self-handling operation and the rising hand It is determined whether or not this manual data is in a state of “listening if turned off”, and if it is determined that it is in a state of “listening if turned off”, Determine the symbol code and the number of “牌 to hear if you turn it off”.

  (2) In the above (1), when it is determined that the state is not “listening if turned off”, the target rising combination (target rising combination) is set for these 14 manuals. . Then, in order to complete this goal-raising combination, a process for determining an appropriate symbol code of the throwing away from the hand is performed.

  (3) When 13 manual data after the player has performed the operation of throwing out the single game is transmitted from the main control board Ka, the target of the 13 manual data is increased. Set the role. Then, in order to complete this goal-raising combination, a process for determining an appropriate symbol code of the kite to be self-sufficient by manual operation is performed.

(4) Before the player performs the discarding operation, the display unit displays the symbols of the kites that should be discarded after the “decision that is to be heard” determined by (1) and (2) above. Control for In addition, control is performed to display on the display device before the player performs the operation of self-determination determined by the above (3).

  The assist program P24 includes a hearing determination program P24a and a goal-raising combination setting program P24b. In the present invention, if it is turned off, the processing content of the hearing determination program P24a constitutes a hearing determination means, and the processing content of the goal raising combination setting program P24b constitutes a goal raising combination setting means.

  If it is cut, the hearing determination program P24a includes a sub-program Kokushi no Binaito / rising kite determination program P24a1, a seven-pair listening / rising kite determination program P24a2, and a general rising role listening kite / rising kite determination program P24a3.

  The Kokushi Muso Hearing / Uprising judgment program P24a1 judges whether or not to listen with the rising role of "Kokushi Musou" when one of the current 14 hand data is discarded as a throwing away. Then, when it is determined that the hand guard is in the “listen if it is cut” state, a process for determining the symbol code of this “spot that is listened if cut” is further performed.

  The 7-pair listening / upward determination program P24a2 determines whether or not to listen to the “7-pair” ascending role when one of the current 14-step data is discarded To do. Then, when it is determined that the hand guard is in the “listen if it is cut” state, a process for determining the symbol code of this “spot that is listened if cut” is further performed.

  The general rising role listening / rising judgment program P24a3 determines whether or not to listen to the “general rising role” when the current 14 hands are thrown away as a discarded bag. . Then, when it is determined that the hand is “listening if turned off”, this “turning that is turned off” is further determined. Subsequently, when this program P24a3 throws away this “cage that will be heard if it is cut” from the handcuff as a temporary abandonment, if it refrains from one of the 13 handcuffs, it will “ ”Is performed, and a process of determining the symbol code of the so-called“ self-raised heel ”and the number thereof.

  In this process, there are cases where a plurality of the above-mentioned “habits to listen when turned off” are determined depending on the situation of the hand. If a plurality of “hulls that will be heard if turned off” are determined, the number of “hulls that will rise if they are self-determined” is determined when these plurality of wrinkles are sequentially set as temporary litters. That is, in consideration of the self-operating operation of “up if self-speaking”, which is the second hand, the number of wrinkles that are waiting to be lifted for the hand of the second hand (throwing up if self-speaking) is obtained. Then, the “spot that will be listened to when it is cut” that maximizes the number of kites waiting to rise is determined as the symbol code of the kite that assists the player as “the kite that will listen when cut”.

  Then, if it is cut, the hearing determination program P24a transmits this symbol code to the second image control board Kd when it is determined that the assisting heel is determined as "the heel to hear when turned off", and the second display device 16 The control corresponding to the symbol code is displayed.

  The target raising combination setting program P24b is a program that performs the following processing when the current manual data is transmitted from the main control board Ka.

  (1) When 14 hand data transmitted from the main control board Ka are turned off, the hearing judgment program P24a determines that the hand is not in the state of “listening if turned off”. Then, the process of setting the goal-raising role of this procedure is performed. Subsequently, a process for determining one wrinkle to be discarded from the hand data is performed for this goal-raising combination.

  (2) With respect to the 13 pieces of manual data transmitted from the main control board Ka, a rising combination as a target of the manual is set. Subsequently, a process of determining a wrinkle to be self-restrained by a self-manipulation operation is performed on the target rising combination.

  (3) In order to assist the player with the symbol of the kite to be discarded and the kite to be self-determined determined in the above (1) and (2), control is performed to display on the first display device 10.

  The goal-raising combination setting program P24b includes, as subprograms, a Kokushi-no-Kami-no-raising combination determination program P24b1, a seven-pair child combination combination determination program P24b2, and a general increase combination setting program P24b3.

  The Kokushi Musou rising combination determination program P24b1 performs a process for determining whether or not the current rising hand data stored in the RAM 42b can set the target rising combination of the table to “Kokushi Musou”. Do. When it is determined that setting is possible, when there are 13 current hand tiles, the self-determination determination program P24b1-1 that is a subprogram thereof is operated to perform a process of determining the symbol of the wrinkle to be self-determination. In addition, the Kokushi Musou climbing role determination program P24b1 operates a discard spear determination program P24b1-2, which is a subprogram, when the current number of spawns is 14, to determine the design of a spear that should be discarded. Do.

  The seven pair child rising combination determination program P24b2 determines whether or not it is possible to set the target rising combination of the current combination stored in the RAM 42b to “seven pairs”. To do. When it is determined that the setting is possible, when there are 13 current hand tiles, the sub-program self-determination determination program P24b2-1 is activated to perform a process of determining the symbol of the wrinkle to be self-determination. Similarly, the seven-pair child rising combination determination program P24b2 activates the discard spear determination program P24b2-2, which is a sub-program when there are 14 current hand spears, and the spear symbol to be discarded. The process which determines is performed.

  The general rising combination setting program P24b3 performs a process of setting the target rising combination of the current combination stored in the RAM 42b to “general rising combination”. When the current number of hand tiles is 13, the self-determination determination program P24b3-1, which is a subprogram thereof, is operated to perform a process of determining the symbol of the wrinkle to be self-determination. Similarly, when the current number of hand tiles is 14, the sub-program discarding spear determination program P24b3-2 is activated to perform processing for determining the symbol of the spear that should be discarded.

The goal-raising combination setting program P24b controls the above-mentioned Kokushi-no-mushi-raising combination determination program P24b1, the seven-pair child-raising combination determination program P24b2, and the general rising combination setting program P24b3 to operate in a predetermined order. The set target rising combination is set as the target rising combination for the current procedure, and the set target increase combination is controlled so as to perform the process of determining the symbol of the trap to be self-recognized and discarded. To do.
The order in which each of these programs is activated is such that the Kokushi Musou rising role determination program P24b1 or the 7 pairs rising role determination program P24b2 is activated first, and “Kunishi Musou” and “Seven pairs” are set as the goal rising roles. If it is not possible, a process of setting “general rising combination” as the target rising combination is performed.

  As described above, the reason for determining whether or not “Kokushi Musou” or “Seven pairs” can be set as the goal-raising role is as follows.

  (1) When “Kokushi Musou” is set as the goal-raising role, the player completes the raising role that can win more medals compared to “Seven Pairs” and “General Raising Role”. A possibility arises.

  (2) Since “Seven pairs” is a rising combination composed of a combination of seven “pairs”, it is a combination that is relatively easy to raise in a sparrow ball game machine, and the structure of the symbols of the rising combination Is also simple. Therefore, in particular, a player who lacks knowledge of mahjong game can play a game with higher interest when “Seven Pairs” is set as a goal-raising role.

  The processing contents of the above self-determination determination programs P24b1-1, P24b2-1, and P24b3-1 constitute self-determination determining means, and the processing contents of the discard determination programs P24b1-2, P24b2-2, and P24b3-2 are discarded. A determination unit is configured.

  The program installed in the ROM 41c of the first image control board Kc is a program for displaying various images and the like on the first display device 10, and as shown in FIG. 11, the main control program P31, It consists of a screen display program P32 and the like. The main control program P31 of the first image control board Kc receives the control command and control data transmitted from the sub control board Kb, and controls the operation of the subprogram of the screen display program P32 based on the received data. To do.

  The screen display program P32 is a program for performing control to display an image, numerical information, or the like on the first display device 10 based on the control command and control data transmitted from the sub control board Kb. The game screen display program P32a, the special game screen display program P32b, the assist screen display program P32c, and the like are included.

  The normal game screen display program P32a is used to display various effect images on the display device 10 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. This is a program for performing processing for displaying an image. The normal game screen display program P32a further includes an initial effect display program P32a-1 and a game effect display program P32a-2 as subprograms.

  The initial presentation display program P32a-1 is a program for displaying an initial screen when the sparrow ball game machine is turned on. The game effect display program P32a-2 displays a screen for assisting (advising) game operations and the like to the player as the game progresses.

  The special game screen display program P32b is a program for performing processing for displaying various effect screens when the player acquires the right of the special game player, and the player acquires the right to execute the special game player. A right acquisition effect display program P32b-1 for effect display when a rising combination that can be performed is completed.

  The assist screen display program P32c is composed of a self-display display program P32c-1 and a throw-away display program P32c-2. The self-recognition display program P32c-1 is a program for displaying on the first display device 10 the symbol of the reed that should be self-reliant with respect to the above-described goal-raising combination. Similarly, the discarded jar display program P32c-2 is a program for displaying on the first display device 10 the symbol of the cocoon to be discarded.

  The programs installed in the ROM 41d of the second image control board Kd are a program for displaying various images on the second display device 16, and a program for outputting sound and sound effects to the speaker 6. It is configured. As shown in FIG. 12, these programs include a main control program P41, a screen display program P42, a sound / sound effect output program P43, and the like.

  The main control program P41 of the second image control board Kd receives the control command and control data transmitted from the sub control board Kb, and each subprogram of the screen display program P42, sound / effect corresponding to the received data. It is a program for performing the process which operates the sound output program P43. The screen display program P42 is composed of a normal game screen display program P42a, a special game screen display program P42b, and, if it is self-explanatory, a uplift display program P42c.

The normal game screen display program P42a includes subprograms such as an initial effect display program P42a-1 and a game effect program P42a-2.
The initial effect display program P42a-1 is a program for displaying an initial screen when the power of the sparrow ball game machine is turned on. The game effect display program P42a-2 is sent from the main control board Ka via the sub-control board Kb each time the player performs a throw-in operation or a self-control operation by launching a game ball as the game progresses. As shown in FIG. 5, the program is for executing a process for displaying a current hand symbol, abandon symbol, and the like based on the control command and its control data transmitted in this manner.

  The special game screen display program P42b is a program that performs a process of displaying various screens for effects when the player acquires the rights of the special gamer, and includes a self-candidate candidate selection support program P42b-1. Yes. The self-sufficiency candidate selection support program P42b-1 is a program that is activated when the player acquires the right of the special gamer. This is a program for supporting an operation of selecting a symbol of the heel to be self-contained in an interactive manner while scrolling by operating the selection right shift button 22a or the heel selection left shift button 22b.

For example, if the self-decision display program P42c is self-existing, the self-decision determination programs P24b1-1, P24b2-1, and P24b3-1 mounted on the sub-control board Kb are "speech that rises if self-explanatory". This is a program for displaying the symbol of “a wrinkle that will rise if oneself”.
The sound / sound effect output program P43 is for outputting various production 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.

  Note that image data to be displayed on the display devices 10 and 16 is stored as digital image data in the ROM 41c of the first image control board Kc and the ROM 41d of the second image control board Kc, respectively. For example, an image of each kite, an image related to a scene or character for production, an image for production when a rising role is completed, or the like.

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

  Then, the operation content of game progress is demonstrated about the sparrow ball game machine 1 of this invention. This game progress is executed according to the control of each program described above.

  First, when the power of the sparrow ball game machine 1 is turned on, the main control program P1 of the main control board Ka initializes the storage area of the RAM 42a of the main control board Ka. Subsequently, the main 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 this initialization control command to the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd. . When the sub control board Kb, the first and second image control boards Kc, Kd receive this initialization control command, the main programs initialize the storage areas of the RAM 42b, RAM 42c, 42d. Further, the main control programs P31 and 41 mounted on the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd operate the initial effect display programs P32a-1 and P42a-1, and the effect screen when the power is turned on. For example, processing such as displaying an image relating to a landscape or a character on the display devices 10 and 16 is performed.

  In order for the player to play the game, it is necessary to insert a predetermined number of medals per game, for example, three into the medal slot 17. When the main control program P1 of the main control board Ka detects the medal insertion signal, the medal management program P3 is activated. The medal management program P3 performs a process of counting the number of inserted medals, and performs a process of storing the number of medals inserted in the storage area of the RAM 42a that stores the number of stored medal.

  When the main control program P1 of the main control board Ka detects that a medal necessary for the execution of one game has been inserted, the main control program P1 determines that the game can be executed, and prompts the player to start the game. A control command for prompting the pressing of 18 is transmitted to the first image control board Kc via the sub-control board Kb. When the first image control board Kc receives this control command, the game effect display program P32a-2 performs a process of displaying “Please press the game start button” on the display device 10. At this time, the sound / sound effect output program P43 of the second image control board Kd may be operated to simultaneously output sound from the speaker 6.

  When the player presses the game start button 18 and the main control program P1 of the main control board Ka detects a game start signal from the game start button 18, a game of one game can be started. Then, the main control program P1 transmits a game start control command to the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd via the sub-control board Kb. Based on this control command, the game effect display programs P32a-2 and P42a-2 of the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd display the effect image at the start of the game on the display devices 10 and 16, respectively. The sound is output from the speaker 6 by the sound / sound effect output program P43. In this way, one game of the sparrow ball game machine starts.

  Subsequently, under the control of the main control program P1 on the main control board Ka, the automatic layout program P5 is activated, and the 14 symbols codes required for starting the game are automatically determined by the program processing. . The automatic layout program P5 sequentially stores the 14 symbol codes that have been automatically allocated in the manual storage area of the RAM 42a, 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 stored in the hand memory area.

  Next, the main control program P1 of the main control board Ka transmits the 14 arranged symbol codes together with the control command to the sub-control board Kb. When the main control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb receives the 14 assigned code codes, the main control program P21 stores the assigned code codes in the RAM 42b and distributes the 14 assigned code codes to the second image control board Kd. Send the symbol code. When the game effect display program P42a-2 of the second image control board Kd receives 14 symbol codes, the hand symbol display unit 34 of the display device 16 displays an image of the symbol as shown in FIG. And the process of displaying on the self-display unit 35.

  Subsequently, each of the special game combination lottery program P6 (which is activated when a normal game is played) and the dora lottery program P7 are activated, and the winning combination and chance game in which the right of the big game combination can be acquired. Determine the winning combination that can acquire the right of the combination, and determine the front dora. Then, the big game combination, chance game combination, and front drum symbol data (encoded data) determined by the processing of these programs P6 and P7, along with the control command, are transmitted via the sub-control board Kb. 2 is transmitted to the second image control board Kd.

  When the game effect display program P42a-2 on the second image control board Kd receives the big game combination and the chance game combination rising code and the front code symbol, as shown in FIG. A process of displaying the chance game combination on the big game rising combination display unit 31, the chance game rising combination display units 32 a and 32 b, and the front dra design on the front dra display unit 28 is performed. Similarly, the wind symbol code is transmitted to the second image control substrate Kd via the sub control substrate Kb together with the control command, and the symbol is displayed on the wind symbol display unit 29.

  When the main control program P21 of the sub control board Kb receives the code of the rising combination determined as the big game combination and the chance game combination of the game and the symbol code of the front drum from the main control board Ka, these codes are stored in the RAM 42b. The process which memorize | stores in is performed.

  Subsequently, the main control program P1 of the main control board Ka displays the first and second display devices 10 and 16 that the game start condition is ready, and performs a process of notifying the speaker 6 by voice. Control. Next, the main control program P1 operates the winning determination program P8 to perform a process of determining whether or not the 14 hand-paid data that have been automatically arranged have already completed a winning combination. Note that the winning determination program P8 is also activated when the player performs his own operation, such as firing a game ball, and the number of handed hands becomes 14.

  If it is determined by the processing of the winning determination program P8 that the 14 automatically distributed rules have completed the preset winning combination, the winning determination program P8 is set to any predetermined rising amount. Processing for determining whether or not the winning combination is achieved, and processing for determining a score (the number of acquired medals) and the like that can be acquired by the player, with reference to the acquired winning medal number data table shown in FIG. Subsequently, the winning determination program P8 transmits the winning combination code, the number of acquired medals, and the like to the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd via the sub control board Kb. When the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd receive these data, the game effect display programs P32a-2 and P42a-2 first display the winning combination, the score obtained, and other effect images. The display processing is performed for a predetermined time on the device 10 and the rising eye display unit 30 of the second display device 16 or the like.

  On the other hand, when the combination of the 14 hand-operated data automatically arranged has not been completed, the main control program P1 of the main control board Ka sends the control command for the throwing-off assist to the sub-control board Kb. Send. When the main control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb receives this throwing assist control command, it activates the assist program P24. When the assist program P24 is turned off, the hearing determination program P24a is activated. If it is cut, the hearing determination program P24a will discard any one of these 14 handbags and use it as "Kokushi Musou", "Seven pairs", "General lift" The process of determining whether or not “listening” is reached is performed according to the following (Procedure 1). Then, when it is determined that the state is “listen if cut off”, the throwing kite for listening to this state if “cut it off” (decision kit for listening) is determined, and The process of displaying on one display device 10 is performed according to the following (procedure 2).

On the other hand, when it is determined that the state of “listening if turned off” is not reached, the goal raising combination is set for the current 14 hands by the following (procedure 3), and further, A process for assisting the player is performed by determining an appropriate throwing bag to be thrown away.
The process of (Procedure 1) can be completed when the combination of the 14 baskets that are automatically arranged has not completed the rising combination, and when the player performs the own operation to complete the rising combination. This is executed when the symbol codes of the 14 handed handles that have not been transmitted from the main control board Ka.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the hand is not in the state of “listening if turned off” by the processing of the hearing determination program P24a if it is turned off, the assist program P24 activates the target raising combination setting program P24b. Whether the goal-raising role setting program P24b can sequentially set the “Kokushi Musou” or “Seven-pair” as the goal-raising role by operating the Kokushi-Musou-raising kite determination program P24b and the seven-pair-raising role determining program P24b2. Determine whether or not. Then, a process of setting a rising combination determined to be set first among “Kokushi Musou” or “Seven Pairs” as a rising combination that is the target of the current procedure is performed. Further, when “Kokushi Musou” and “Seven Pairs” cannot be set as the target for the rising hand, the general rising combination setting program P24b3 targets the “general rising combination”. Performs processing to set up ascending combination.

If it is cut, the hearing determination program P24a can determine, in a short time, whether or not the 14 hands are in the “listen if turned off” state by program processing the following technical idea, for example. I can do it.
The sparrow ball game machine of the present invention uses four types of seeds (three kinds of numbers and letters). Since the “song” of several 牌 uses only “Ikko” and “Juku”, it cannot form “Junko”, so it can be regarded as a character. Therefore, it can be assumed that the present invention is a sparrow ball game machine using three kinds of baskets (two kinds of bowls and one kind of bowl).
In a sparrow ball game machine using these three kinds of spears, if 14 handclaws have completed the combination of “general lifting role” excluding seven pairs and Kokushi Musou, When the number of each kind (total number) is divided by 3, the combination (arrangement pattern) of the remaining number for each kind can be expressed by the following arrangement pattern (1).
(0, 0, 2) ... (1)

  The above arrangement pattern (1) indicates that when 14 hands are combined to form a combination of combinations, there are a total of 4 combinations of indentations and order elements, and 1 combination of sparrow heads (pairs). ing. In other words, the incisor and the order are composed of 3 of the same seed type (multiple of 3), so if the combination of the incision or order is completed, the remainder of dividing the total number of each kind by 3 The number of is zero. At this time, when the total number of seeds is zero, a process is performed in which the remainder of the seeds is zero. Moreover, since the sparrow head is composed of two pieces of the same sparrow head, when the total number of spear heads constituting the sparrow head is divided by 3, the remaining number is two.

Accordingly, when 14 hand picks constitute a combination of rising roles, when the total number of each kind is divided by 3, the combination of the remaining number for each kind is as shown in the arrangement pattern (1). In addition, “0”, “0”, and “2” are combined. In this arrangement pattern (1), when the total number of each type of hand basket is divided by 3, the remainder of each type of the total number of the three types is “0”. ”, Indicating that the remainder of the remaining species is“ 2 ”. That is, the order of the array of the remaining numerical values (numbers) “0”, “0”, “2” of each species constituting the array may be any order, and the array order of the species may not be considered. It shows that.
In the following description, (0, 0, 2) indicated by the arrangement pattern (1) is referred to as an arrangement pattern at ascending time.

Then, it can be determined whether or not there is a possibility that 13 hands are listening from the above-described arrangement pattern (1) at the time of ascending. That is, when 13 hands are listening, when the total number of each type is divided by 3, the remainder combination for each type is represented by the following array patterns (2) and (3). Can be represented.
(0, 0, 1) ... (2)
(0, 2, 2) ... (3)
The reason why the arrangement pattern (2) or the arrangement pattern (3) is satisfied when the current thirteen hands are listening is as follows.

  For 14 hand picks, if any one kind of pick is removed from the above-mentioned array pattern (0, 0, 2) indicating the rising order pattern, then 13 hand picks are left for the remainder of the pick type This is because the array pattern of the combination is (0, 0, 1) or (0, 2, 2). From this, if any one kind of cocoon is discarded from the current 14 procedures, the arrangement pattern (0, 0, 1) or (0, 2, 2) when listening is described above. In other words, it is possible to determine the type of moth that may be “listened if turned off”. In the following description, the arrangement pattern (2) (0, 0, 1) and the arrangement pattern (3) (0, 2, 2) are referred to as an arrangement pattern during listening.

  Further, according to the present invention, when the current 14 manuals include 9 to 11 types of “1” and “9” and characters, these manuals are: It is determined that even if one unnecessary bag is deleted by the operation of the throwing bag, it cannot be brought into a hearing state. That is, when 9 to 11 types of numbers “1” and “9” and character fonts are included in the current 14 manuals, the player performs the next discard operation to perform this procedure. This is because a handclaw that has been thrown away from one to 13 and cannot be made into a hearing state for the following reasons (1) to (4). This determination can also be applied to the determination of the rising role of “Seven Pairs” and “Kokushi Musou”.

  (1) General rising roles, excluding “Seven Pairs” and “Kokushi Musou”, are composed of 4 sets of indentations and Junko, and 1 set of sparrow heads. Therefore, the general rising combination is composed of five types of numbers “1” and “9” and the character font at most. Examples of this are “Ichigo, Ichigo, Ichigo”, “Jiufen, Jiufen, Jiufen”, “Seven Cylinders, Eight Cylinders, Nine Cylinders”, “East, East, East”, “ This is because the combination of “Ichigo” can be completed.

  (2) When the rising role is “7 pairs”, the rising role is composed of 7 types of heels, so there are more than 9 types of “1” and “9” numbers and characters in 14 hands If a kite is included, it cannot be heard if any single kite is discarded from the procedure.

  (3) When the rising role is “Kokushi Musou”, the rising is composed of 13 types of heels, so there are 11 types or less of “1” and “9” numbers and characters in the current 14 hands If a habit is included, it can be determined that it cannot be heard even if one habit is discarded from the hand. When there are 12 types of “1” and “9” numbers and characters in 14 hand tiles, a sparrow head composed of numbers “1” and “9” and characters is formed. Because there is a possibility that has been.

  (4) Therefore, if the current 14 manuals include 9 to 11 types of numbers “1” and “9” and character fonts, one unnecessary from the 14 manuals I can't let you hear it even if I throw away my niece.

(Procedure 1)
Subsequently, if any one of the 14 pieces of handbook data is discarded by the hearing judgment program P24a if it is cut, the handboard is “Kokushi Musou”, “Seven Pairs”, “General Uplifting”. A process for determining whether or not the state of rising will result in “listening if turned off” will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. If this is turned off, the processing content of the hearing determination program P24a constitutes a hearing determination means if turned off.

(Step S1)
First, with respect to the 14 hand codes stored in the RAM 42b of the sub control board Kb, “one glance” which is a number of “1” and “9” of “1” and “9”. The number of types A including “one cylinder”, “jyutsu”, “nine cylinders”, “one rope”, “one round rope”, and a character bowl is calculated. This calculation can be performed with reference to the symbol code data table shown in FIG.

  If it is determined in the process of step S1 that the number of “1”, “9” and the number A of character fonts are included in the 14 manual data, 9 to 11 types are described above. As described above, since there is no possibility that the current 14 handbags will be listened to as one thrown bowl by the next throwing bowl operation, the process is terminated. It should be noted that the processing of step S1 may be executed by the hearing determination program P24a if cut off.

  It should be noted that the processing for calculating the number of “1”, “9”, and the number of character fonts for the 14 hand code symbols stored in the RAM 42b is performed as follows. be able to.

  (1) The ROM 41b of the sub-control board Kb stores in advance a symbol data table in which symbol codes are set as shown in FIG. 8 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 FIG. 8, the symbol code “1 萬” is stored in hexadecimal “01”, and the symbol “medium” is stored in hexadecimal “1B”.

  (2) For the 14 hand code symbols stored in the RAM 42b, refer to the symbol data table for each symbol code, and include several types of “1”, “9”, and character fonts. Is calculated. This specific calculation procedure can be performed as follows. First, it is determined whether the first data of the symbol code of the 14 manual data matches the symbol code “01” of “Ichigo”. 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 determined whether or not they match the symbol code “0A” of “one cylinder”. In this way, it is determined whether all 14 symbol codes are sequentially matched with the symbol codes “1”, “9”, and the character code 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 42b. When the above determination processing is completed for all 14 symbol codes, the symbol code type is counted for the matching symbol codes stored in the RAM 42b (one type if the same symbol code is included). Count as). By performing such processing, it is possible to calculate the numbers “1”, “9”, and the number of character fonts included in the 14 manuals.

  If it is determined in the process of step S1 that the 14 hands are comprised of 9 to 11 types of “1” and “9” and several characters, the current 14 hands If it is determined that there is no possibility of hearing even if one bag is discarded, the processing of the hearing determination program P24a ends. This eliminates the need to execute the following processing steps S2 to S11 for the 14 hands that have no possibility of “listening if turned off” at the present time, and shortening the processing time of the hearing determination program P24a if turned off. be able to.

(Step S2)
Subsequently, if turned off, the hearing determination program P24a activates the seven-pair listening / upward determination program P24a2. The seven-pair listening / upward determination program P24a determines whether or not to listen to “seven pairs” when one unnecessary trap is discarded from the current 14 manual data. If it is determined that the symbol that can be heard is determined, the process of temporarily storing the symbol code of the discarded bag as “牌 to hear when cut” is temporarily stored in the RAM 42b in step S9a. If it is determined that the “seven pairs” cannot be heard, the process proceeds to step S3.

  For example, it is possible to determine that if one unnecessary piece is discarded from the current 14 pieces of hand piece data, the “seven-pair” state of hearing is achieved by programming the following processing.

  (1) The 14 hand code symbols stored in the RAM 42b 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 six sets of two identical symbol codes in the process of (1) above, 14 hands are thrown away as an unnecessary bag and “seven pairs” It can be determined that the state is “listening if turned off”. However, when four identical symbol codes are prepared, it is not determined that the user is listening with “seven pairs”.

  (3) If it is determined in the process of (2) above that the “seven pair” is “listen if cut”, about two identical symbol codes are obtained from the 14 manuals. If any one of the remaining two kites excluding the six pairs of matching kits is discarded, it can be determined that the symbol code of the kite is “listen if cut”. However, if one or both of the remaining two kite symbol codes are included in the six pairs of kites that make up the pair, the “seven pairs” will “listen if cut” Do not judge that it is.

(Step S3)
Subsequently, if it is turned off, the hearing determination program P24a activates the Kokushi no binoculars / upward determination program P24a2. The Kokushi Muso Hearing / Upgoing Judgment Determination Program P24a2 determines whether or not to listen to “Kokushi Musou” when one unnecessary habit is discarded from the current 14 handicraft data. If it is determined, a process of temporarily storing the symbol code of the discarded bowl as “a bowl to be heard if cut” is temporarily stored in the RAM 42b in step SS9a. If it is determined that “Kokushi Musou” is not “listening if turned off”, 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. If you throw away one unnecessary spear from 14 handcuffs and you are listening to “Kokushi Musou”, you will collect 13 types of “1” and “9” and the remaining one by one. There are a case of waiting for 13 faces and a case of waiting for one tank with 12 types gathered with sparrow heads formed. Therefore, it is possible to determine a kite that can be heard with “Kokushi Musou” by discarding one kite from the hand kit (by programming the following process).

  (1) Referring to the symbol code data table shown in FIG. 8, the numbers “1” and “9” and the number A of character fonts included in the 14 manuals are calculated.

  (2) In the process of (1) above, when the number “1” “9” and the number A of the letter A are 11 or less, “Kokushi Musou” is set to “listen if cut”. Since it can be determined that there is no such thing, the process of the Kokushi no binoculars habit / rising habit determination program P24a1 is terminated.

  (3) In the process of (1) above, when “1” and “9” of several characters and 13 types of character characters are included, if one unnecessary character is discarded from the manual, Listen to “Kokushi Musou”, which is waiting for 13 symbols of “1” and “9” of several characters and all 13 symbols of the character code. Therefore, it is possible to determine that the symbol code of one unnecessary spear among the 14 hand spears is “a spear that can be heard if cut”.

  (4) In the process of (1) above, when “1” and “9” of several numbers and 12 types of character fonts are included, two of the 12 types of fonts are included. Check whether the sparrow head is formed. When the sparrow head is formed, the number of symbols “1”, “9”, and the character font of the number of the missing 14 characters is “If you cut it, it will be heard” Can be determined.

(Step S4)
The processes in steps S4 to S10 are processing steps performed by the general rising role listening / upward determining program P24a3 for “general rising role” excluding “seven pairs” and “Kokushi Musou”. In this step S4, for the 14 hand-shoe symbol codes stored in the RAM 42b, the number of “sushi”, “tsutsuko”, and “letter ご と” is calculated for each type, and these calculated numbers are calculated. Store in the RAM 42b. It should be noted that in this number calculation process, “Isuko” and “Kyuuko” of “Song” are processed as “Character”.

(Step S5)
The number obtained by subtracting one of the number A for each “kushi”, the number “B” for the “cylinder”, and the number C for “letters” calculated in step S4 is 3. Arrangement patterns of the remainder when divided, that is, arrangement pattern formulas (7), (8), and (9) shown below are obtained. As described above, the number of remainders indicates an integer remainder value obtained by dividing the number of baskets for each basket type by 3, and the value is one of 0, 1, and 2. In the present invention, the arrangement pattern formulas (7), (8), and (9) are referred to as manual arrangement patterns.
((A-1) / 3 remainder, B / 3 remainder, C / 3 remainder) (7)
(A / 3 remainder, (B-1) / 3 remainder, C / 3 remainder) (8)
(The remainder of A / 3, the remainder of B / 3, the remainder of (C-1) / 3) (9)

  Note that, in the process of step S5, when the number of different types of baskets is 0, a process of setting the number of remainders obtained by dividing the number of the same type of baskets by “3” to “0” is performed. Similarly, when the number of seeds is 0, the remainder obtained by dividing the number by “−1” by “3” is set to “0”.

(Step S6) (Step S7)
The elements of the arrangement pattern formulas (7), (8), and (9) of the hand tile obtained in step S5 are the arrangement patterns (2) or (3) at the time of listening, that is, (0, 0, 1). Alternatively, it is determined whether or not it matches (0, 2, 2). At this time, it is not necessary to consider the arrangement order of the elements of the array.
If they match, the type having the number “−1” is obtained in step S5, and the type code is stored in the RAM 42b (step S7).
The elements of the array pattern formulas (7), (8), and (9) of the above-mentioned manual are the array pattern formulas (2) or (3) at the time of listening, that is, (0, 0, 1). Alternatively, if they do not coincide with (0, 2, 2), the process of the general rising role listening / rising determination program P24a3 is terminated. As a result, it is not necessary to execute the processing after step S7, so that the processing time of the general rising role listening / rising determination program P24a3 can be shortened.

  In the program processing in steps S6 to S7, first, the arrangement pattern of the hand tiles obtained from the current hand tile is sorted in ascending order. For example, the arrangement pattern (1, 2, 1) is rearranged as “112”, the arrangement pattern (2, 1, 1) as “112”, and the arrangement pattern (2, 2, 0) as “022”. Subsequently, a process of comparing the rearranged array pattern with the array pattern (2) or (3) at the time of listening is performed. Also, the arrangement pattern (2) or (3) at the time of hearing is registered in advance as constants “001” and “022” in the hearing pattern determination program P243.

(Step S8)
Regarding the cocoon seeds obtained in step S7, when the cocoon seeds included in the current 14 hand pallets are sequentially discarded as temporary trash, 13 hand pallet data are obtained. A process is performed to determine whether or not a “listening role” results in a hearing state. Then, a process of storing in the RAM 42b the symbol code of the kite determined as “the kite to hear when it is cut”.

  It should be noted that the program processing for determining whether or not the 13 hands are listening in the “general rising role” can be performed as follows.

(1) When 13 hands are listening, the 13 hands are a combination of the following two patterns.
(A) Four sets of “Konko” and “Junko” have been completed, and only “Peiko” has not been completed.
(B) Three sets of “Kitoko” and “Junko” have been completed, and “Tsuko” has also been completed. That is, a set of “knot” or “junko” is not completed.

  (2) The 14 manual data stored in the RAM 42b of the sub control board Kb are arranged and stored in the order of symbol codes. First, for the top symbol code in this arrangement order, it is determined whether or not three identical symbol codes are continuous, that is, whether or not an “notch” is formed. Then, if “carved” is formed, “+1” is added to the storage area for counting the number of “carved” pairs, and the symbol data forming the “carved” is deleted from the data of the hand. The process to do is performed.

  (3) If the top symbol code does not form “Tonko” and the top symbol code in the storage area is several digits, whether or not this top symbol code forms “Junko” Determine. This process can be performed by determining whether or not the number of symbol codes “+1” and “+2” is included in the leading symbol code. If “junko” is formed, the storage area for counting the number of “junko” sets is incremented by “+1”, and the symbol code data forming these “junko” is deleted from the data of the hand. Perform processing.

  (4) If the first symbol code of the hand data does not form “notch” or “junction” by the processes (2) and (3), the same applies to the symbol code adjacent to the leading Process (2) and process (3) are performed. Similarly, processing (2) and processing (3) are also performed for the symbol codes adjacent to the storage area in sequence.

  (5) As a result of the above-described processes (2), (3), and (4), when the number of combinations of “Konko” or “Junko” becomes 4, it becomes clear that the “Sanko” tank is heard. Therefore, it can be determined that the hearing state is established.

  (6) As a result of the above processes (2), (3), and (4), when the number of combinations of “Konko” or “Junko” is 3, and one set of “Sparrow” is formed The two remaining pallets form a “counterpiece”, or the remaining two pallets are a few, and the towers (tarts), fitted towers (canters), and side towers (penters) When either one is formed, it can be determined that the hearing state is established.

  (7) It is possible to determine that the 13 hands that do not satisfy the above processes (5) and (6) are not in a hearing state. In the determination of the above-described processes (2) to (6), 27 kinds of kites used in this sparrow ball game machine are coded in ascending order by hexadecimal numbers as shown in FIG. Therefore, it can be determined by program processing whether or not the symbol code of the handle forms an indenter, a junko, a counter, a tower (tarts), a fitting tower (canter), and a side tower (penter).

(Step S9)
Based on the current 14 manual data stored in the RAM 42b, it is determined by the process of step S8 that it will be “listen if you turn it off”, and the symbol code stored in the RAM 42b is used as a temporary discard code. . Then, for the 13 pieces of manual data, a process of determining a symbol code of “a customs that will rise if self-existing” is performed. Then, the determined symbol code of “the heel that will rise if oneself” is stored in the RAM 42b. The process of determining the symbol of “a wrinkle that will be raised by self” can be performed, for example, by any of the following methods (1) and (2). In addition, if the processing content of step S9 self-identifies, it will comprise a rising wrinkle determination means.

  (1) To the 13 pieces of hand-drawn data, the design codes “1 萬” to “middle” of the design codes shown in FIG. Then, it is determined whether or not the 14 pieces of the hand data are composed of “general rising combination”, that is, one set of “sparrow head” and four sets of “knot” and “junko”.

  (2) In the process of (1) above, it is necessary to add 27 types of cocoons to the manual data as tentative self-manuals, which requires processing time. As a countermeasure, the following processing may be adopted. That is, when it is determined in the process of step S8 that thirteen hands are listening, any one of “pairs”, “knots”, and “junko” is incomplete. Therefore, since it is possible to determine the unfinished “opposite”, “knot”, and “junko” types, it is possible to temporarily determine each of the determined types of symbols in 13 steps. It is determined whether or not the “general rising combination” is going up.

(Step S10)
It is determined whether the process of step S8 has been performed for all the symbol codes of the species that have been obtained by the process of step S7, and the symbol codes that have not yet been processed remain. If yes, the process returns to step S8. On the other hand, when the process of step S8 is completed for all symbol codes of the target type, the process proceeds to step S11.

(Step S11)
In step S11, the following processing is performed to determine “a habit of listening if turned off” to assist the player.
First, it is determined whether or not a plurality of symbol codes that are determined in the processes of steps S8 to S9 and that are stored in the RAM 42b and become “a habit of hearing when cut” are determined. Then, when a plurality of symbols are determined, when the symbol code that becomes “the habit to listen when cut” is used as a temporary discard habit, the number of “having go up when self” is obtained. The number of “the heels that will rise if they are self-sufficient” can be obtained by counting the number of symbol codes of “the cocoons that will be raised if they are self-sufficient” stored in the RAM 42b in step S9. As a result of this processing, if the current procedure is in the state of “listen if cut,” and there are a plurality of “listen if cut,” these “listen if you cut” are temporarily discarded. When it is assumed that it is a bag, it is possible to obtain the number of “hooks that can be raised by self” that is the second hand.

  (2) Subsequently, the symbol code of “the kite that will be heard if it is cut”, which has the largest number of “the kite that will rise if it is self-obtained” obtained in the above (1), is obtained, and this symbol code is stored in the RAM 42b. .

  If a plurality of “cooks that will be heard if turned off” are determined by the process of step S11, the “ups that will be heard if turned off”, which will increase the waiting time, taking into consideration the operation of raising the two hands, It becomes possible to assist the player as an abandoned trap. In addition, when the number of “the heel that goes up if you are self” is the same value, discard one of the ‘the 牌 that you hear when you turn it off’. The symbol code is stored in the RAM 42b as a bag for assisting the player.

  The processing in step S11 will be described as follows using the example of the hand shown in FIG. In FIG. 14, the current 14 pieces of manual data A stored in the RAM 42b are in a state of “listening if turned off”. With respect to the manual data A, a process of determining “a mobile phone to be heard if turned off” B is performed in the above-described step S9. In this manual data A, “four points” and “five points” are determined to be “the ones that listen when they turn off”.

  Subsequently, in the above-described step S10, the process of determining “the heel that rises if self-declared” C when “four-thousand” and “five-throw” of the heel B to be listened to are temporarily discarded. To do. In the manual data A shown in FIG. 14, if “four bases” are assumed to be temporary discarded bases, two of “five bases” and “medium” are determined as “tops that can be raised by self” C. On the other hand, if “5 萬” is assumed to be a temporary abandoned trap, three of “three steps”, “six steps”, and “nine steps” are determined as “steps that can be raised by self” C. Accordingly, in the processing of step 11, the player assists the player with “5 萬” which increases the number of “牌 going up if he turns it off” as “牌 to hear if he cuts” and “、 to listen when he turns off”. Processing will be performed.

(Procedure 2)
If it is cut, the hearing determination program P24a transmits the symbol code “牌 to listen when it is cut” determined in step S11 and stored in the RAM 42b to the first image control board Kc. When the discard command display program P32c-2 of the first image control board Kc receives the control command and the symbol code of “Tear if you turn it off”, as shown in FIG. A process of displaying the symbols on the first display device 10 is performed.
Then, the player looks at the display on the display device 10, and discards the button switches 19a, 19b, 19c,.・ ・ Press one of the buttons to perform the disposal operation. At this time, sound may be output from the speaker 6.

(Procedure 3)
Subsequently, when it is not determined by the above (Procedure 1) that the current 14 hands are in the state of “listening if cut”, the goal raising combination is set for the current 14 hands, A procedure for assisting the player by determining an appropriate throwing throw from the hand to the rising hand will be described. This processing procedure can be performed based on the following (Procedure 3-1) to (Procedure 5).

(Procedure 3-1)
The assist program P24 for the sub-control board Kb activates the target raising combination setting program P24b. First, the goal-raising combination setting program P24b first activates the Kokushi-Musou-raising role determination program P24b1 to determine whether or not it is possible to set the goal-raising role to “Kokushi-Musou” for the current hand. . Then, if it is determined that the setting can be made, the rising target that is the target of the current procedure is set to “Kokushi Musou”.
Subsequently, the Kokushi Musou Climbing Role Judgment Program P24b1 activates the throwing spear judgment program P24b1-2, and for the current 14 guns, it is appropriate for the goal climbing role “Kokushi Musou” out of the swords. A process to determine the trash is discarded. Subsequently, the symbol code of the determined throwing pad is transmitted to the first image control board Kc, and the symbol that is to be thrown away before the player performs the discarding operation is displayed on the first display device. 10 so as to be displayed.

(Procedure 3-2)
If the above-mentioned (Procedure 3-1) cannot set “Kokushi Musou” as the current rising goal, the goal raising role setting program P24b sets the seven-child raising role determination program P24b2. It is actuated to determine whether or not it is possible to set the target rising combination to “seven pairs” for the current procedure. If it is determined that the setting can be made, the rising hand that is the target of the current procedure is set to “seven pairs”.
Subsequently, a process for determining an appropriate throwing spear from the hand for the current winning combination “seven pairs” by operating the throwing spear determination program P24b2-2. Do. Next, the determined design code of the throwing pad is transmitted to the first image control board Kc, and before the player performs the discarding operation, the symbol to be discarded is displayed on the first display device. 10 so as to be displayed.

(Procedure 3-3)
When the “seven pair” cannot be set as the current rising goal that is the target of the current procedure by the above (Procedure 3-2), the target raising role setting program P24b activates the general lifting role setting program P24b3. Then, a process of setting the target rising combination for the current procedure to “general rising combination” is performed.
Subsequently, the general rising combination setting program P24b3 activates the throwing away determination program P24b3-2, so that the "general rising combination" set as the target rising combination of the current manual is appropriate from the manual. A process to determine the trash is discarded. Next, the determined design code of the throwing pad is transmitted to the first image control board Kc, and before the player performs the discarding operation, the symbol to be discarded is displayed on the first display device. 10 so as to be displayed.

  Next, a processing procedure for setting the current goal raising combination in (Procedure 3-1) to (Procedure 3-3) will be described. This processing procedure can be set by the method described in (Procedure 4) to (Procedure 5) below.

(Procedure 4)
For example, the necessary conditions for setting the goal-raising role for the current procedure to “Kokushi Musou” and “Seven-pair” are determined in advance as shown in FIG. 16, for example. It is coded and registered in the goal-raising combination setting program P24b or the like. The target rising combination setting data table shown in FIG. 16 includes a first necessary condition and a second necessary condition for each rising combination.

The first necessary condition indicates a condition relating to a necessary saddle for setting the rising combination as a target rising combination for the current hand, or data relating to a combination of bags. For example, regarding “Kokushi Musou”, the first requirement is that “there are nine or more species of Yaochu” in the hand. With respect to “seven pairs”, the first requirement is that five pairs or more of “pairs” are included, and “cuts” are not included.
The second necessary condition defines the number of kites that are insufficient to complete the rising combination, that is, the number of remaining game balls that are necessary to perform the self-running operation.

  For example, whether or not “Kokushi Musou” can be set as the goal-raising role can be determined by the following process using the Kokushi Musou-raising role judging program P24b1.

  (1) First, the Kokushi Musou no rising role determination program P24b1 refers to the goal rising role setting data table shown in FIG. 16 and the first necessary condition for the current hand symbol symbol code stored in the RAM 42b. A certain "whether or not nine or more species of Yaochu are included" is determined.

(2) And if there are more than nine Yaochu species, they are insufficient to complete the second requirement, “Kokushi Musou” (or “Necessary”) When there are remaining game balls equal to or more than the number of baskets, “Kokushi Musou” is set as a goal-raising role. Then, if it is determined that “Kokushi Musou” can be set as a goal-raising role, then the throwing away determination program P24b1-2 is activated. The discarding spear determination program P24b1-2 performs a process of determining a spear that should be discarded from the manual spear data.
(3) On the other hand, when nine or more types of Yaochu grapes are not included in the current procedure, the target raising combination setting program P24b performs control for operating the seven-pair raising combination determination program P24b2 (described below) (Procedure 5)).

  It should be noted that the number of kites that are insufficient to complete the above-mentioned “Kokushi Musou” rising role should be added to the current procedure to complete the “Kokushi Musou” rising role. This means the number of Yaochu. To calculate the number of missing cocoons, the symbol code (13 kinds of Yaochu moths) of the heels of the “Kokushi Musou” rising role is registered in the Kokushi Musou rising role determination program P24b1, etc. This is made possible by performing processing for comparison with the symbol code of the hand.

  In addition, the reason why “Nine or more Yaochu species are included in the current procedure” is set as the first necessary condition for determining “Kokushi Musou” as a goal booster. In the sparrow ball game machine 1, the maximum number of game balls that a player can launch for self-control is set to 11 and installed below the game board surface portion 2 shown in FIG. 3. East, south, first base, nine bases, one base, nine bases, nine bases, west, and north are Yaochu species. Is arranged. It is relatively difficult for the entrances located at or near these ends to enter the game balls. This is because it is quite difficult to adjust the spring repulsion force of the launch lever appropriately by the player's control so that the game balls can enter these entrances. Therefore, the number of varieties containing Yaochu varieties in the current manual is set to a large value of 9 or more.

  The number of remaining game balls can be made by referring to the current value of the remaining game balls stored in the RAM 42b. That is, the remaining number of game balls is grasped by the game ball management program P4 of the main control board Ka. Then, when the remaining number of game balls is transmitted from the main control board Ka to the sub control board Kb after the player performs the self-control operation, the main control program P21 of the sub control board Kb The remaining number is stored in the RAM 42b. As a result, the Kokushi no double rising role determination program P26a1 can grasp the current number of remaining game balls.

  Note that even if a game ball is launched in an attempt to enter a target entrance, the game ball does not necessarily enter the target entrance. Therefore, the remaining number of game balls is, for example, “+1” (or “+2” to the number of baskets necessary to complete the rising role of “Kokushi Musou” with one or two margins. The second requirement may be that there are remaining game balls that are equal to or greater than the calculated value.

(Procedure 5)
Whether or not “Seven Pairs” can be set as the goal rising combination is determined by the Seven Pairs Lifting Combination Determination Program P24b2. The method for determining whether or not “Seven Pair” can be set as the goal-raising role is the same as the method for determining whether or not “Kokushi Musou” can be set as the goal-raising role, as shown in FIG. Refer to the setting data table.
If “seven pairs” cannot be set as the goal-raising combination, as described above, “generally-raising role” is set as the goal-raising role of the current manual.

  Subsequently, when the player performs a throw-in assist, that is, when an operation is performed to discard one unnecessary spear from the current 14 hands, the throw-in symbol is to be discarded. The procedure that is clearly indicated to the player before the execution will be described based on the following (Procedure 6) and (Procedure 7).

(Procedure 6)
The process of determining the heel to be discarded is performed for the goal rising combination set by any of the above-mentioned Kokushi no double rising combination determining program P24b1, the seven-pair child rising combination determining program P24b2, and the general rising combination setting program P24b3. The control is performed in accordance with any one of the corresponding discarded litter determination programs P24b1-2, P24b2-2, and P24b3-2. The determination procedure of the heel to be discarded can be basically performed based on the procedures described in the following (Procedure 6-1) to (Procedure 6-3). In the following (Process 6-1), it is determined whether or not the “isolated bag” is included in the current manual, and if “isolated bag” is included, this “isolated bag” is determined. A process of assisting the player as a trap to be discarded is performed. If “isolated cocoon” is not determined in step (6-1), a process for determining a cocoon to be discarded according to (procedure 6-2) and (procedure 6-3) is performed.

(Procedure 6-1)
First, among the symbol codes included in the 14 handbags, “isolated basket” is determined as a basket to be discarded, and the symbol code is stored in the RAM 42b. In addition, the above-mentioned isolated kite is “Kokushi Musou”, “Seven pair”, which is a rising role, as shown in FIG. For each “general climbing role”, it is defined for the kite that constitutes the procedure. The processing logic for registering or determining in advance the data relating to this isolated flaw, or the determination rule for judging “isolated flaw”, etc. in each of the discarded flaw determination programs P24b1-2, P24b2-2, P24b3-2, etc. As adopted.

  For example, an “isolated kite” included in a hand kit when the rising role is “Kokushi Musou” indicates a kite other than Yaochu. In addition, the “isolated kite” when the rising role is “general rising role” means “face”, “tog (tarts)”, “fitting tower (canter)”, “side tower ( (Penter) ", and a spider that does not form a" pair ". Note that “face” means “cut” and “junko”. In addition, when the goal-raising role is “seven pairs”, there is no “isolated trap” in the procedure data.

  Also, in (Procedure 6-1), when there are a plurality of “isolated bags”, for example, referring to the entrance evaluation score data table shown in FIG. 18 registered in advance in the ROM 41b, A design with a low evaluation score for the mouth is judged as a throwing-off trap. If the symbol corresponding to the entrance with a low evaluation score is determined to be abandoned as described above, it is determined that the symbol of the entrance that is difficult for a game ball to enter by the subsequent self-restraint operation will be Since the probability of forming the “junko” combination is low, it is considered that the player can perform a kinder assist.

  Next, a processing procedure when there is no “isolated cocoon” in the hand will be described based on the following (Procedure 6-2) to (Procedure 6-4).

(Procedure 6-2)
When the goal-raising role is set to “Kokushi Musou”, the fact that “isolated cocoons” are not included in the manual data indicates that the manual is made up of Yaochu. Therefore, in (Procedure 6-2), one of the ridges that form the “knot” (including the same four ridges) or two or more pairs of “pairs” are formed from among the steps. If it is, any one of the bags is discarded as a bag and the symbol code is stored in the RAM 42b.

(Procedure 6-3)
If the goal-raising combination is set to “seven pairs”, the bag that does not form “pairs” is determined to be abandoned and its symbol code is stored in the RAM 42b. At this time, with reference to the entrance entrance evaluation score data table shown in FIG.

(Procedure 6-4)
When the goal-raising combination is set to “general rising combination”, when one heel is sequentially discarded from the current 14 hand-raise data, the number of hand-hands that has become 13 With respect to the structure of the symbol code, a score is assigned with reference to the combination score data table of the heel shown in FIG. 19, and the heel having the largest total score of 13 hand heel data is determined as a discarded heel, The code is stored in the RAM 42b.

  In the combination score data table of the kite shown in FIG. 19, the score is previously stored for the “face”, “toko”, “fitting tower”, “side tower”, “counter”, and the isolated kite constituting the combination of the hand tiles. This is a data table for setting and evaluating the status of the hand based on this score, and is registered in the goal raising combination setting program P24b and the like.

  In the combination score data table of heel shown in FIG. 19, “0” is set as the score of “isolated cocoon”. For this “isolated cocoon”, the evaluation score is set as follows, for example. can do. That is, with reference to the entrance evaluation score data table shown in FIG. 18, the entrance score corresponding to the corresponding “isolated bag” symbol code is obtained. The process of setting as “牌” is performed.

The process of evaluating the current hand using the score using the combination score data table shown in FIG. 19 can be performed as follows.
If there are 2 sets of “face” in the hand, 4 points × 2 sets = 8 points, and if there is 1 set of “double-sided waiting”, 3 points × 1 set = 3 points. For the isolated kite, a score is given with reference to the entrance evaluation score data table shown in FIG. For example, when “two baseballs” are included as “isolated baseball” in the hand base, referring to the entrance evaluation score data table shown in FIG. Is granted. The total score of the evaluation scores is obtained by summing up the points assigned in this way, and the total score of this procedure and the symbol code that has been temporarily discarded are stored in the RAM 42b. By such processing, when one heel is sequentially set as a temporary trash from the hand 牌 data, the heel having the largest total score of 13 牌 is determined as a trash and the symbol code Is stored in the RAM 42b.

The reason for determining that a bag having the largest total score of 13 pieces of hand tile data is determined to be a discarded bowl when one bowl is sequentially set as a temporary bowl from the basket data is as follows.
A large total score for the manual indicates that there are many combinations of “face” and “waiting for both sides” in the current manual, and it is closer to the composition of the “general rising” combination. Yes. Therefore, if the bag having the largest total score of the manual data is determined as a discarded bag, there is a possibility that the rising combination is completed with a smaller number of self-manipulation operations. In addition, when two or more types of cocoons (temporary discarding cocoons) having the largest total score of manual data are determined, an appropriate priority order is set, for example, character 牌 is given priority as a discarding 牌. Try to set.

  Further, with respect to games that have been executed in the past, the number of times that a game ball has entered the 27 entrances is ascertained by the main control program P21 of the sub-control board Ka, and this number of entrances is isolated. This may be reflected in the evaluation score. For example, in a game executed in the past, “1 point” is added to the symbol of the basket corresponding to the top five entrances with the highest number of entrances. The game executed in the past is appropriately set such as a game executed on the previous day and today, or 100 games executed up to the game. Further, in the game, when the “isolated bag” is a front drum or a wind kite, for example, “1 point” may be added.

(Procedure 7)
When it is determined by the above-described (Procedure 6-1) to (Procedure 6-4) that the spear should be discarded, the assist program P24 uses the determined image code of the spear together with the control command to generate the first image. Transmit to the control board Kc. When the first image control board Kc receives the symbol code of the bag to be discarded, it should be discarded to the first display device 10 as shown in FIG. Display the symbol of strawberry. As a result, before the player operates the throwing pad each time, the symbol of the paddle to be thrown away from the current hand is displayed to the player as an assist screen as shown in FIG. , One of the button switches 19a, 19b, 19c,... Corresponding to the symbol is pressed to perform the disposal operation.

  When the player presses any of the throw-in button switches 19a, 19b, 19c,... And performs the throw-in operation, the main control program P1 on the main control board Ka is set to be thrown away by the player. The symbol code is transmitted to the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd via the sub control board Kb together with the control command. Further, the main control program P1 of the main control board Ka deletes the discarded design code from the manual data stored in the manual storage area of the RAM 42a, and then sorts it again in the order of the design code and again performs the RAM 42a. Store in the manual storage area. Thus, the hand data stored in the hand memory area of the RAM 42a is composed of 13 symbol codes. Next, the main control program P1 performs control to transmit the 13 pieces of manual data together with the control command to the second image control board Kd via the sub control board Kb.

  In the entrance evaluation score data table shown in FIG. 18, the evaluation scores given to the 27 entrances are mainly the ease of entering a game ball according to the placement position of the entrance and “Junko”. In consideration of the ease of formation of etc., the evaluation scores “1” to “4” are set based on the following (1) and (2). Further, the higher the evaluation score, that is, the closer to “4”, the easier the ball enters.

  (1) Since the entrances 13a and 13b of “Ichiro” and “Jukuo” arranged in the upper part of the game board surface part 2 are relatively easy to aim at, the evaluation score Is set to “4”.

(2) The following evaluation points are set for the 25 entrances arranged in the lateral direction of the lower portion 2a of the game board surface portion 2 shown in FIG.
(2-1) The leftmost entrance “East” and the rightmost entrance “North” are relatively difficult to aim at, so the evaluation value is set to “1”. is doing.
(2-2) The entrances corresponding to the symbols of “1st base” to “9th base” of several bases so as to be located at the center of the lower left part 2a of the game board surface part 2 are “first base” — They are arranged in the order of “Jiufen”. Among these entrances, the entrances of “Four bases”, “Five bases” and “Six bases”, which are located at the center of the lower left part 2a of the game board surface part 2, aim for the game balls. It is relatively easy to enter the ball, and from this ease, it is relatively easy to form a combination of “junko”, “pair”, “knot” and “double-sided waiting” Therefore, the evaluation value is set to “4”.

    (2-3) The entrance corresponding to the symbols of “one cylinder” to “nine cylinders” is set to “one cylinder” to be positioned at the center of the lower right portion 2a of the game board surface 2 They are arranged in the order of “9 cylinders”. For these entrances as well, for the same reason as in (2-2) above, “four cylinders”, “five cylinders”, “six cylinders”, which are located at the approximate center of the lower right part 2a of the game board surface portion 2, The evaluation value of the entrance is set to “4”.

    (2-4) Between the entrances of “Reiko” and “Tsutsuko”, that is, in the central part of the lower part 2a of the game board surface 2 to the “white”, “reel”, “middle” of the ternary reed Corresponding symbol entrances are arranged in this order. These entrances may have a relatively high probability that the game ball hits a nail or the like when the game ball is launched aiming at the lower left or lower right entrance of the game board surface 2. Therefore, the evaluation value of the entrance for the symbols corresponding to “white”, “發”, and “medium” is set to “3”.

  Then, assisting the player to self-recognize the player, that is, for the current 13 hands, set the target rising combination, and determine the appropriate combination to be self-reliant for the target rising combination. The procedure for clearly showing the symbol of the bag to be self-declared on the display device before the player performs the self-determination operation will be described. This procedure is performed according to the following (Procedure 8) to (Procedure 13).

  The main control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb activates the assist program P24 when 13 types of hand-drawn symbol data after the player performs a throwing-in operation are sent from the main control board Ka. . The assist program P24 activates the target raising combination setting program P24b. The goal-raising combination setting program P24b performs a process of setting a goal-raising combination for the current hand according to the following (Procedure 8) to (Procedure 10). Subsequently, a process for determining an appropriate habit to be self-restrained with respect to the goal-raising combination is performed based on the following (procedure 11).

(Procedure 8)
First, the goal-raising combination setting program P24b activates the Kokushi-no-Musou-raising combination determination program P24b1. The Kokushi Musou rising combination determination program P24b1 determines whether or not the target rising combination for the current procedure can be set to “Kokushi Musou”. Then, if it is determined that the setting can be made, the rising target that is the target of the current procedure is set to “Kokushi Musou”. Subsequently, the Kokushi Musou Climbing Role Judgment Program P24b1 should be added to the Tail for the current 13th Gakuin “Kokushi Musou” by operating the self-determination program P24b1-1. Process to determine appropriate self-restraint. Then, the determined symbol code is transmitted to the first image control board Kc, and the symbol to be regarded as the first display device 10 before the player performs the manipulation. Control to display on the screen.

(Procedure 9)
When “Kokushi Musou” cannot be set as the current rising goal that is the target of the current procedure by the above (Procedure 8), the goal raising role setting program P24b operates the seven-pair child raising role determination program P24b2. Then, it is determined whether or not it is possible to set the target rising combination for the current procedure to “seven pairs”. If it is determined that the setting can be made, the rising hand that is the target of the current procedure is set to “seven pairs”. Subsequently, the self-determination determination program P24b2-1 is operated to determine an appropriate self-determination to be added to the manual for the current 13 winning combinations for the goal-raising role “seven pairs”. To do. Then, the determined symbol code is transmitted to the first image control board Kc, and the symbol to be regarded as self-determination is sent to the first display device 10 before the player performs the self-determination operation. Control to display.

(Procedure 10)
When the above (Procedure 9) cannot set “Seven pairs” as the target rising combination that is the target of the current procedure, the target rising combination setting program P24b operates the general rising combination setting program P24b3. Then, a process of setting the target rising combination for the current procedure to “general rising combination” is performed. Subsequently, in the same way as in (Procedure 8) and (Procedure 9), the general rising combination setting program P24b3 operates the self-determination determination program P24b3-1, and the target rising combination “ A process of determining an appropriate self-restraint to be added to the hand for “general rising combination” is performed. Then, the determined symbol code is transmitted to the first image control board Kc, and the symbol to be regarded as self-determination is sent to the first display device 10 before the player performs the self-determination operation. Control to display.

  Whether or not the Kokushi Musou climbing role determination program P24b1 and the seven-pair child climbing role determination program P24b2 can be set to “Kokushi Musou” or “Seven-pair”, respectively, as the goal-raising role for the current 13 hands. The procedure for determining whether or not can be performed by referring to the goal-raising combination setting data table shown in FIG. 15 and the same processing as in the (procedure 3) to (procedure 5).

  Subsequently, when the goal-raising role for the current manual is set by the above (Procedure 8) to (Procedure 10), an operation of self-releasing to fire one game ball on these 13 manuals is performed. Before performing, the procedure for determining the bag to be self-restricted, that is, the design of the entrance to be aimed by launching the game ball, will be described based on the following (Procedure 11) to (Procedure 13).

(Procedure 11)
When “Kokushi Musou” is set as a goal-raising role, the determination of the trap to be refrained from can be performed as follows.
“Kokushi Musou” is a rising role with 13 types of Yaochu candy, one of which is a sparrow head. Therefore, when “Kokushi Musou” is set as a goal-raising role, the symbol codes of these 13 kinds of Yao Choi are pre-registered in the self-determination judgment program P24b1-1 etc. With respect to the symbol code, the symbol code of the kite that is insufficient to complete “Kokushi Musou” can be determined by the self-determination determination program P24b1-1. At this time, there is a possibility that a plurality of symbols for the bag to be self-determined may be determined, and therefore, a process of storing the symbol code in the RAM 42b as all the determined symbols as a bag for self-determination is performed.

(Procedure 12)
When “Seven Pairs” is set as the goal-raising role, the determination of the bag to be refrained from can be performed as follows.
“Seven pairs” is a rising role composed of seven pairs of “pairs”. Therefore, when “Seven Pairs” is set as the goal booster, the symbol code of the kite that is insufficient to complete the “Seven Pairs” with respect to the current hand symbol design code, ie, The self-determination determination program P24b2-1 can determine that a wrinkle that does not form a “pair” is a self-determination program. In this case, since there are cases where a plurality of symbols for the bag to be self-determined are determined, a process for setting all the determined symbols to be a bag for self-determination is performed, and these symbol codes are stored in the RAM 42b. When it is determined that a cocoon that does not form a “pair” is a heel to be self-recognized, a process that does not determine that a pattern of a cocoon that has already formed a “counter” is a symbol of a heel to be self-contained is performed. .

(Procedure 13)
As described above, the “general rising combination” is composed of a total of four sets of “knots” and “junko” and one set of “sparrow head”. Therefore, when the goal rising combination is set to “general rising combination”, the determination of the wrinkle to be self-resolved in order to complete the “general rising combination” more securely with the current thirteen moves is, for example, The following (Process 1) to (Process 2) can be performed.

(Process 1)
When one bag is temporarily added to the current 13 pieces of hand data to make 14 pieces, the situation of the combination of the pieces of the 14 pieces of hand data is shown in FIG. The score is evaluated by referring to the combination score data table. The method of evaluating this measure by the score can be performed by the same method as described above (procedure 6-3). At this time, the symbol of the cocoon to be temporarily tentatively added to the current 13 manual data in the order of 27 types of symbol codes, one by one from the symbol code “1 コ ー ド” in the symbol code data table shown in FIG. Process to add as self-restraint. Further, the self-determination determining program P24b3-1 performs a process of not selecting the four already disclosed cocoon symbols as the tentatively self-contained cocoon. The reason for this is that the four kites that have already been disclosed cannot be selected as the kites that are self-contained from the rules of mahjong game.
Then, for the manual data that has been temporarily reduced to 14 pieces, the assigned points are summed to obtain a total score of the evaluation points, and the total number of the symbol codes and evaluation points that have been temporarily reduced are stored in the RAM 42b.

  As described above, when determining the heel to be self-resolved for the “general rising role”, if “isolated cocoon” is generated in the hand data, a score is also given to this “isolated heel”.牌 The data is evaluated by the evaluation score. As a result, even if a “self-contained” occurs in the hand data by performing temporary self-spotting, the player may be able to assist the entrance that is easy to enter in consideration of the two-handed self-spotting operation. Occurs.

(Process 2)
The above (Process 1) is carried out for each of the 27 kinds of symbol codes of the cocoon that are to be tentatively self-contained. Then, the symbol code of the cocoon that has been tentatively self-resolved with the highest evaluation score of the above-mentioned manual stored in the RAM 42b is determined as the symbol of the cocoon to be refrained. At this time, since there is a possibility that a plurality of symbols of the bag to be self-determined, all the determined symbols are determined as the symbols of the bag to be self-determined, and the symbol code is stored in the RAM 42b.

  In the above (Procedure 12) and (Process 1), when the symbol code of the tentatively trapped cocoon is added to the current 13 hand-held data, four symbol codes already disclosed in the current game are added. The processing that is not selected as a temporary trap can be performed by the following (Process 3) to (Process 4). Note that the four already-disclosed symbols are the same as the currently-disclosed item, abandoned items up to the present, a table-draft, and the ones that are displayed as wind bags. Of these, for example, the front draper and the wind kite may be appropriately set, for example, by performing a process that does not count as four disclosed kites.

(Process 3)
The main control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb provides a disclosed number table for counting the disclosed numbers of the 27 types of symbol codes shown in FIG. Then, the main control program P21 has 14 symbol codes automatically allocated by the automatic allocation program P5 from the main control board Ka, the symbol code of the result of the player's own operation, the table drum, When the symbol code of the wind roar is transmitted, a process of “+1” the storage area for counting the number of disclosure of the corresponding symbol code in the disclosure number table is performed.

(Process 4)
The self-determination determination program P24b3-1 refers to the disclosed number table to determine whether or not four symbol codes selected as temporary self-determination have already been disclosed. Then, for the four symbol codes that have already been disclosed, a process that does not select them as temporary traps is performed. That is, a process of selecting a symbol code having 0 to 3 disclosures as a temporary selection is performed.

(Procedure 14)
The assist program P24 is determined by any of the processes described in (Procedure 11) to (Procedure 13), and the symbol code of the bag to be stored in the RAM 42b is stored on the first image control board Kc together with the control command. Send. When the self-displaying program P32c-1 of the first image control board Kc receives the design code of the bag to be self-displayed, as shown in FIG. 21, the design of the bag to be self-displayed is displayed on the first display device 10. To do. As a result, before the player performs the self-restraint operation every time, the design of the entrance to which the game ball is to be launched and entered is displayed on the first display device 10, so that the player with poor mahjong knowledge It is only necessary to launch a game ball aiming at the entrance corresponding to the displayed symbol of the kite.

  In the processing of (Procedure 11) to (Procedure 13) described above, a process for determining whether “self-speaking wrinkle” or “self-speaking wrinkle” is also performed, and these “self-sufficiency increases. When “牌” or “牌 to listen if self” is determined, when the symbols of the self that should be self displayed are displayed as shown in FIG. "Is displayed. In addition, “the wrinkle that rises if the user himself / herself” may be displayed on the effect image display unit 30 of the second display device 16 so as to draw the player's attention.

  It is determined whether or not the current thirteen hands are in the state of “general rising role” and “up if self” or “listening if self”. ), Using the arrangement patterns (2) and (3) at the time of listening can be determined by a short program processing.

  The player operates the game ball launch lever 4 to fire a game ball into the game board surface 2, and the symbol corresponding to the entered entrance becomes the symbol of the trap. The main control program P1 of the main control board Ka performs a process for obtaining a symbol code of the self-contained kite based on a signal that the game ball enters the entrance. Then, the self-sufficient symbol code and the 13 pieces of manual data are transmitted together with the control command to the second image control board Kd via the sub-control board Kb. Further, the main control program P1 performs a process of adding this self-signed symbol code to the signature data stored in the signature storage area of the RAM 42a, sorting the symbols in the order of the symbol codes, and storing them again in the signature storage area of the RAM 42a. Do. As a result, the hand data stored in the hand memory area of the RAM 42a is composed of 14 symbol codes.

  In this way, the player operates the game ball launch lever 4 to launch the game ball into the game board surface 2, and the hand is in a hearing state, and “1” is displayed in the remaining game ball number display section 27. When the above numerical values are displayed, the player can reach by operating the reach button 21 before performing the operation of throwing away the bag. However, when the listening state is not established, the reach button 21 cannot be operated to reach.

  After operating the reach button 21, one of the discard buttons 19 a, 19 b, 19 c,. When the self-cutting is performed by operating, the throwing-up symbol display unit 33 displays the discarding symbol sideways and a reach bar. In the control relating to the reach operation, first, the main control program P1 of the main control board Ka detects an operation signal of the reach button 21, and further detects an operation signal from the throw-away buttons 19a, 19b, etc., and then a winning determination program P8 When a hearing determination result is obtained by the hearing determination process, a control command indicating that the reach has been applied is transmitted to the second image control board Kd. When the game effect display program P42a-2 on the second image control board Kd receives the control command, the game effect display program P42a-2 performs a display process of the discarded trash symbol on the discarded trash display 33.

  In this way, the game place is reached, and the player completes the rising role by self-responding to any of the entrances 13a, 13b,. If this is not possible, the self-contained bag is automatically processed as a discarded bag under the control of the main control program P1 of the main control board Ka. That is, the player does not need to operate the self-destroying button switch 20 for discarding.

Next, the operation of the game in which the player has acquired the right of the big game role and the outline of the program processing will be described.
Each time the symbol code corresponding to the entrances 13a, 13b,... Into which the launched game balls have entered is added to the hand in the base game, the winning determination program P8 of the main control board Ka It is checked whether or not the combination of rising combinations set in advance has been completed. When it is determined that the rising combination determined as the rising combination of the big game combination in the game is completed until one game is completed, a control command indicating that the rising combination of the big game combination is completed. Are transmitted to the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd. Then, the right acquisition effect display program P32b-1 and the special game screen display program P42b for the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd are displayed on the first and second display devices 10 and 16, respectively, with the explanation display of the rising role. A display of the big game right establishment or the like is displayed for a predetermined time to inform the player that the right of the big game role has been established.

  When the right of the big game role is established, as described above, in the next and subsequent game games, a game that allows the attacker 11 to open and arbitrarily select self-determination is performed a predetermined number of times, for example, about 15 games. It becomes possible. That is, in a game in which the right of the big game role is established, after the player has automatically arranged, the player launches a game ball, the game ball passes through the attacker operation port 12, and the signal is sent to the main control board Ka. When input, the main control program P1 opens the attacker 11 and makes it easy for the game ball to enter the attacker 11. Then, each time a player enters one game ball in the attacker 11, the player can arbitrarily select himself / herself by the interactive method with the first display device 10.

  In a game in which the right of the big game combination is established, the main control program P1 determines that the right of the big game combination at that point in time when the number of remaining game balls becomes “0” and the rising combination is not completed. The game is invalidated, and the normal game is started from the next game.

  When a game ball enters the attacker 11 when the right of the big game role is established, the main control program P1 of the main control board Ka issues a control command for displaying a self-sufficient candidate based on the incoming signal. Transmit to the first image control board Kc. Then, the self-candidate candidate selection support program P42b-1 for the second image control board Kd displays a self-candidate candidate selection screen for arbitrarily selecting self-containment on the display device 16. An example of this self-cancellation candidate selection screen is shown in FIG.

  The self-candidate candidate selection screen shown in FIG. 22 arranges 27 kinds of symbols used in the game in a predetermined order, for example, “first base”, “second base”, “third base”,. It is a screen displaying all or part of the symbols in the order of “medium”. The screen shown in FIG. 22 is displayed by scrolling the symbol of the heel by one symbol in the right direction or the left direction each time the player presses the right shift button 22a or the left shift button 22b once. When the button is pressed, control is performed by program processing so that a symbol displayed in a specific display area T set in advance is selected as a self-determination. Then, the symbol of the cocoon to be determined determined by the above procedure is displayed brighter than the other symbols on the candidate selection screen.

  In addition, the initial screen for displaying the self-candidate candidate selection screen by the self-candidate candidate selection support program P42b-1 displays the symbol “one glance” in the specific display area T that is the origin, and the player can use the right shift button. Each time the 22a or the left shift button 22b is operated once, the symbols are scrolled and displayed by one symbol in the right direction or the left direction in the order of the symbol codes.

  According to the mahjong game rules, even if four symbols with the same symbol are already disclosed, the winning combination cannot be completed. As a countermeasure against this, when displaying the self-candidate candidate selection screen shown in FIG. 22, it is preferable to display the four already-disclosed symbols darker than other symbols so that the player can identify them.

The display of the self-candidate candidate selection screen shown in FIG. 22 can be executed by the following program processing.
For example, in the self-selection support program P9 of the main control board Ka, a spider array table in which 27 kinds of spider symbol codes handled by the sparrow ball game machine shown in FIG. 8 are arranged in the symbol code order is registered. In the registered symbol data table of the kite arrangement table, a predetermined arrangement position (memory address) is set in advance, and when the selection determination button 23 is pressed, the predetermined arrangement position is stored in the predetermined arrangement position. It is processed so that the symbol code is selected as self-determination. FIG. 22 shows that the symbol code “Ichigo” is stored at a predetermined array position.

  Then, when the attacker 11 opens and the self selection selection program P9 is activated, the data of the kite arrangement table is read into the RAM 42, and the symbol code of the read out kite arrangement is transmitted to the second image control board Kd. . The self-candidate candidate selection support program P42b-1 for the second image control board Kd displays the initial screen of the self-candidate candidate selection screen shown in FIG.

  Subsequently, when the player operates the right shift button 22a once, the main control program P1 on the main control board Ka decodes the operation signal and activates the self-selection support program P9. The self-selection support program P9 shifts (rotates) the data of the wrinkle arrangement table read out to the RAM 42 once in a ring shape in the right direction. Then, the data of the shifted soot arrangement table is transmitted to the second image control board Kd. Then, the self-candidate candidate selection support program P42b-1 for the second image control board Kd scrolls the screen shown in FIG. 22 to the right and redisplays the symbols by one symbol.

  On the other hand, when the player operates the left shift button 22b once, the self-selection support program P9 shifts the data of the spider array table stored in the RAM 42 once in the left direction in a ring shape, In the same manner as described above, the self-candidate candidate selection support program P42b-1 can display a self-candidate candidate display screen in which the symbol is scrolled by one symbol to the left.

  Subsequently, when the player presses the selection determination button 23 and this operation signal is input to the main control board Ka, the main control program P1 is stored in a predetermined arrangement position of the RAM 42a, that is, the symbol code. In the screen example shown in FIG. 22, a process of determining “one glance” displayed in the area T as a self-regarded gutter is performed.

When the player performs such an operation and determines the symbol of his / her own, the main control program P1 transmits the symbol code of his / herself to the second image control substrate Kd via the sub-control substrate Kb. The second image control board Kd displays the symbol corresponding to the received symbol code on the self-displaying unit 35.
Further, the winning determination program P8 of the main control board Ka performs a process of determining whether or not one hand added by this self-raising has been completed and the winning combination has been completed.

  The above-described self-selection support program P9 for the main control board Ka, self-candidate selection support program P42b-1 for the second image control board Kd, the right shift button 22a, the left shift button 22b, the selection determination button 23, etc. In the game that has acquired the gamer's right, it becomes a self-operating means when the player performs self-control.

When the self-design symbol is determined in this manner, the main control program P1 adds the self-design symbol to the manual data storage area of the RAM 42a, and the second image control board via the sub-control board Kb. Send to Kd. The second image control board Kd displays the symbol corresponding to the received symbol code on the self-displaying unit 35.
Further, the winning determination program P8 of the main control board Ka performs a process of determining whether or not the hand data which has been added by the self-control and becomes 14 has completed the rising combination.

  In addition, the self-operating means of the game that has acquired the special gamer's right described above displays the symbols that are candidates for self-discipline on the self-candidate selection screen in a ring shape and self-contains while scrolling to the right or left. In the present invention, the wrinkle symbols are arranged and displayed in the horizontal direction, vertical direction, or diagonal direction on the screen of the display device 16, and these symbols are displayed in the horizontal direction, vertical direction, or diagonal direction. You may employ | adopt the means to select the symbol located in the specific display area T as a self-restraint, scrolling in a direction.

  In the above-described embodiment of the present invention, the assist indication means for assisting the player who should self-dispose to the player and the player who should be discarded has been described as an example of displaying the symbol of the bag on the first display device 10. However, in the present invention, it is also included to employ the following assist indication means (1) and (2).

  (1) A light emitting means such as an LED is provided in the game board surface 2 and in the vicinity of each entrance. Then, when it is determined that the bag to be self-recognized, the self-displaying program P32c-1 of the first image control board Kc causes the LED of the entrance corresponding to the design of the self-contained kite to emit light. The entrance to be aimed at should be clearly indicated.

  (2) Disposal button switches 19a, 19b, 19c,..., Light emitting means such as LEDs are provided in the vicinity of the self-discard disposal button switch 20 or inside these switches. When it is determined that the bag to be discarded, the discarded image display program P32c-2 of the first image control board Kc discards the button switch 19a for the discarded bag corresponding to the symbol of the bag to be discarded. 19b, 19c,..., The LED corresponding to the self-discarding button switch 20 is caused to emit light, and the switch for performing the disposing operation as a throwing-away is clearly indicated to the player.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment of the present invention, first, a target rising combination is set based on the manual data before the player performs his own operation or the discard operation, and the set target is set. Although the means for assisting the scissors to be self-removed or thrown away with respect to the rising hand has been described, the present invention is also applicable to a sparrow ball game machine having the following means (1) and (2). Can do.

  (1) Before a player executes one game, the game rising policy is selected by a display screen and an interactive method. As the game rising policy, for example, one of the “rising aiming policy”, “master role aiming policy”, “safety aiming policy”, or the like is selected.

  (2) Then, for the player's current action, a goal-raising role corresponding to the selected game-raising policy is set, and the player should be able to self-reserve and throw away the goal-raising role. A process for determining heel is performed.

  In addition, the above-mentioned “advanced aiming policy” is that the game progress policy is to go up in the shortest number of times of self-restraint from the current procedure, that is, to go up with a rising role that is judged to have the least number of listening. . In addition, the “major role aiming policy” is a game progress policy in which a player moves up with a rising role that can acquire more medals. Furthermore, “Safety Aiming Policy” refers to an intermediate game progression policy between these “Rapid Aiming Aiming Policy” and “Large Aiming Aiming Policy”, and the target rising role is determined more precisely from the current manual data. The determined goal-raising role is used as a game progression policy.

  Even in the semi-rapid gaming machine provided with means for selecting a game rising policy at the start of the game as described above, the listening determination means if it constitutes the present invention and the rising score determination means if it constitutes the present invention, It can be employed as a means for determining the abandonment for the goal-raising role and the habit to refrain from.
