Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine capable of simultaneously winning a plurality of roles.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, some slot machines are awarded according to an internal winning combination won by an internal lottery. As such a slot machine, there is a slot machine in which a single winning combination is limited to one in one game, and a plurality of winning combinations can be simultaneously won in a single game. (See Patent Document 1).

  However, the conventional slot machine that can simultaneously win a plurality of roles as described above has the following problems. That is, there is a problem in that the number of game media that can be acquired by the player depends on which of a plurality of winning combinations that are won at the same time, and that the player may lose.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-808

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems, and in a slot machine capable of simultaneously winning a plurality of roles, a slot capable of sufficiently securing a player's profit and suppressing a player's loss. Is to provide a machine.

In the present invention , a plurality of symbols are arranged on the outer peripheral surface, and a plurality of reels that start changing by operation of a start lever;
A plurality of stop buttons operated to stop the fluctuation of the reel;
A bonus combination and a small combination can be won at the same time in one game , and an internal winning bonus combination will be effective from the next game until the bonus combination wins, is provided with an internal lottery means configured so as to enable only the game, when the fluctuation of the plurality of reels is stopped, the symbol reels is stopped on the winning line a predetermined In a slot machine configured to determine whether or not a winning combination is achieved by a combination ,
When the internal lottery means wins a bonus combination and a small combination at the same time, the number of game media to be paid out when the internal winning small combination wins and the number of game media input at the start of the game When the number of payouts is greater than the number of inputs, the first winning pattern for calculating the bonus combination and winning the bonus combination is calculated. A pattern calculation means configured to calculate a second winning pattern for giving a priority to the bonus combination without winning the small combination if the number is less than the number of insertions ;
Pattern notifying means for notifying the winning pattern calculated by the pattern calculating means ,
When the plurality of reels are all changed, the pattern notifying means displays the winning symbol winning symbols corresponding to each reel as a notification of the first winning pattern, and the change of each reel is stopped. The slot machine includes a notification pattern for switching the winning symbol of the small role corresponding to the stopped reel to the winning symbol of the bonus role each time (claim 1).

  The slot machine of the present invention comprises the pattern calculation means for calculating the winning pattern that can maximize the difference. According to this pattern calculation means, when a plurality of the winning combinations are simultaneously won internally, the winning pattern representing the winning order that is advantageous to the player can be calculated.

  Furthermore, the slot machine includes the pattern notifying unit for notifying the winning pattern calculated by the pattern calculating unit. For this reason, the player can perform a so-called stop of the press so as to acquire a winning according to the winning pattern notified by the pattern notifying means. In this way, if the game is played according to the winning pattern, the player may be able to obtain the maximum difference number.

  As described above, in the slot machine of the present invention, it is possible to acquire the maximum difference sheet by playing according to the winning pattern. In other words, according to this slot machine, it is possible to avoid a loss that a player may suffer due to an error in winning a prize for a plurality of the above winning combinations at the same time, thereby maximizing the player's profit. You can get closer.

  As the above internal lottery means in the present invention, a small combination such as a 15-piece combination or an eight-piece combination may be internally won at the same time, or a small combination etc. and a bonus combination may be simultaneously won internally. Further, a combination thereof may be used. For example, in the case of simultaneous internal winning between small roles for which carryover of a flag representing internal winning is prohibited, the pattern calculation means uses the winning of the small role with the larger number of payouts of the game medium as the winning It is good to calculate as a pattern.

In addition, as the above pattern calculation means when only one of the above winning combinations is won internally, the winning of the internal winning combination may be calculated as the winning pattern, or the winning pattern calculation itself is not performed. May be.
Further, in the present invention, the meaning of simultaneously winning a plurality of the above-mentioned roles at the same time does not mean a strict temporal coincidence, but means that a plurality of the above-mentioned roles are internally won in the same game. .
The slot machine includes a slot machine in a broad sense such as a parrot (R) using a pachinko ball as a game medium in addition to a slot machine in a narrow sense using coins and medals as the game medium.

In addition, the internal lottery means can simultaneously win a bonus combination and a small combination in a single game, and the bonus combination that has been won internally is also valid after the next game until the bonus combination is won. On the other hand, the small part won internally is configured to be valid only for the game,
In the game in which the internal lottery means has won a bonus combination and a small combination at the same time, the pattern calculation unit is configured to pay out the number of game media to be paid out when the internal winning small combination wins, and at the start of the game Comparing with the number of inserted game media, and if the number of payouts exceeds the number of input, calculate an award pattern for entering the bonus combination after winning the small role,
In addition, when the number of payouts is less than the number of insertions, an input award pattern is calculated on the basis that the bonus combination is given priority without winning the small combination .

In this case, for example, when the number of insertions required for one game, such as a MAX betting machine, is three and the child winning combination is two, the winning combination of the small combination is passed. It is possible to calculate the winning pattern that can be a real advantage for the player by directly winning the bonus combination without paying.
If the number of payouts and the number of coins to be coinciding coincide with each other, it is possible to calculate a prize pattern for entering the bonus combination by winning the bonus combination through the winning of the small combination. An input award pattern may be calculated after giving priority to winning. The number of times that the joy of winning a prize is felt can be increased when passing through the winning of the small part, and when priority is given to the winning of the bonus part, the game time can be shortened and the time efficiency can be improved.

Further, it is preferable to have a notification selecting means for implementing whether lottery notifying the winning pattern (claim 2).
In this case, the winning pattern can be notified according to the lottery result by the notification lottery means. If the so-called “promotion” is performed according to the winning pattern, the maximum difference can be expected, and the player's sense of expectation can be further enhanced. On the other hand, even in a game where the winning pattern is not notified, a simultaneous internal winning of a plurality of the winning combinations may occur. For example, the player's expectation for the simultaneous winning of a bonus winning combination and a small winning combination is maintained. be able to.

Example 1
This example is an example related to the slot machine 1 that enables simultaneous internal winning of a plurality of roles. The contents will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 1, the slot machine 1 of this example includes an internal lottery means 42 that can simultaneously win a plurality of winning combinations in one game.
In the slot machine 1, when the internal lottery means 42 wins a plurality of roles at the same time, a difference number is obtained by subtracting the number of game media to be inserted at the start of the game from the number of game media to be paid out as a prize bonus. Pattern calculating means 43 configured to calculate a winning pattern that can be maximized, and pattern notifying means 44 for notifying the winning pattern calculated by the pattern calculating means 43 are provided.
This content will be described in detail below.

  First, the role, internal winning combination, and winning combination of the slot machine 1 of this example will be described with reference to FIGS. The slot machine 1 of this example has nine types of roles including a BIG bonus, a REG bonus, a small combination such as a 15-sheet combination. In FIG. 2, the name of each combination is shown in the left column, the combination of the symbols in the middle column, and the number of medals to be paid out as a prize in the right column. In the slot machine 1, the winning combination internally by the internal lottery means 42 described later becomes the internal winning combination. The symbol 20 constituting the internal winning combination is the winning symbol. Further, when winning symbols are arranged on the winning line, the internal winning combination becomes a winning combination.

  The slot machine 1 has an external configuration as shown in FIG. In the slot machine 1, the front portion facing the player is formed by a front frame 10 provided with a substantially rectangular symbol display window 11. The front frame 10 is provided with a liquid crystal display unit 530 and a pair of left and right speakers 520 on the upper side in the vertical direction of the symbol display window 11, and forms a base unit 100 that forms the base of the slot machine 1 on the lower side in the vertical direction. Do it.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the base portion 100 is formed so as to protrude relatively toward the player with respect to the symbol display window 11 located behind the player. The base portion 100 has a table-like operation surface 14 at the upper end adjacent to the symbol display window 11, a medal tray 15 for paying out medals at the lower end, and a space between the operation surface 14 and the medal tray 15. An operation panel 13 is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the operation surface 14 has a bet button 64 for betting medals credited (stored) by the credit function, a settlement button 65 for paying out the credited medals, and medals bet on the game. And a medal insertion slot 630 for inserting. The operation panel 13 is provided with a start lever 62 for starting the symbol variation of the reel 2 and a stop button 61 for stopping the symbol variation.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the bet button 64 is a button for designating 3 bets, which is the maximum bet number, as the number of game bets. The bet button 64 is configured to generate a 3-bet signal representing a game bet number 3 which is the maximum bet number. Note that, instead of the slot machine 1 of this example, which is a so-called max bet machine, that bets three medals for each game (game), a slot machine of a type in which the number of game bets can be selectively set according to the player's preference. It may be. In this case, as the bet button 64, a single bet button for generating a single bet signal may be provided in addition to a max bet button for generating a 3-bet signal.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the start lever 62 is configured to generate a variation start signal that is a control signal for the reel 2 at the timing when the player operates.
As shown in the figure, the stop button 61 is configured to generate a variable stop signal that is a control signal for the reel 2 at the timing when the player operates. The stop button 61 of this example is a combination of a left stop button 61L corresponding to the left reel 2L, a middle stop button 61C corresponding to the middle reel 2C, and a right stop button 61R corresponding to the right reel 2R.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbol display window 11 is configured to display nine symbols 20 arranged in a two-dimensional matrix of three rows and three columns. The portion corresponding to the symbol display window 11 in the front frame 10 is formed of a transparent resin plate so that the symbol 20 can be seen from the player side. For the nine symbols 20 in the two-dimensional matrix, winning lines 211 to 215 that are candidates for the arrangement direction of symbols to be awarded are set. The winning lines include three winning lines 211 to 213 in the horizontal direction and two winning lines 214 and 215 in the oblique direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the reel 2 includes a left reel 2L, a middle reel 2C, and a right reel 2R. Each of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R has a substantially cylindrical shape, and is a rotary reel in which seven types and 21 symbols 20 are arranged on the outer peripheral surface thereof at a substantially constant interval. Each reel 2L, 2C, 2R has a reference position piece (not shown) at one reference position in the rotation direction. The reference position piece is a member as a detected piece detected by a reference position detection unit 66 described later. In addition, as the reel 2, an image-type reel that variably displays symbols on the liquid crystal display can be employed instead of the rotary reel of this example.

  As shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 4, the left reel 2L forms one column at the left end in a three-row × three-column two-dimensional matrix displayed in the symbol display window 11. The right reel 2R forms one row at the right end in the two-dimensional matrix. The middle reel 2C forms a central row in the two-dimensional matrix. In this example, as shown in FIG. 4, the arrangement order of the seven types of symbols 20 is changed for each reel 2L, 2C, 2R.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the liquid crystal display unit 530 is configured to display various effect screens that produce a game in addition to the function as the pattern notification means 44. The liquid crystal display unit 530 serving as the pattern notifying unit 44 notifies a winning pattern in which the difference number can be maximized. In particular, the pattern notifying means 44 of this example is configured to notify the winning pattern by performing an effect pattern according to the lottery result of the notification lottery means 46.

  Here, three types of effect patterns displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 530 as the pattern notification unit 44 will be described. Two of the three types of effect patterns (effect patterns 1 and 2) are cases where a bonus combination and a small combination are simultaneously won internally, and the other one (effect pattern 3) is a bonus combination or This is the case when the small role is elected internally. The contents of each performance pattern are as follows.

First, if the BIG bonus combination (winning symbol “7”) and 12-card combination (winning symbol “Cherry”) are simultaneously won internally, that is, the BIG bonus combination winning should be obtained via the 12-sheet winning combination The effect patterns 1 and 2 will be described by taking as an example the case where the pattern calculation means 43 calculates the winning pattern.
As shown in FIG. 5, the production pattern 1 displays, for example, an arrangement of “cherry” that is a winning symbol of 12 sheets in the upper row, and an arrangement of “7” that is a winning symbol of the BIG bonus combination in the lower row. At the same time, a downward arrow indicating that a BIG bonus combination should be won after 12 winning combinations is displayed in the middle. In other words, the production pattern 1 has a winning pattern indicating that the bonus combination and the small combination are simultaneously elected internally and that it is preferable to win the bonus combination winning through 12 winning combinations. This is a direct notification.

As shown in FIG. 6, the effect pattern 2 notifies that a bonus combination and a small combination are simultaneously won internally following the stop operation of the reel 2. While all reels 2 are changing, as shown in FIG. 6 (A), for example, an arrangement of “cherry” which is a winning symbol of 12 sheets is displayed, and then reel 2 as shown in FIG. 6 (B). The display of “Cherry” corresponding to the stopped reel 2 is switched to “7” which is the winning symbol of the BIG bonus combination every time the is stopped.
And, as described above, the production pattern 3 performed when the bonus combination or small combination is independently won internally is the same as the well-known flag announcement effect of displaying the winning symbol of the internal winning combination alone won. It is.

Next, the slot machine 1 of this example has a mechanical configuration as shown in FIG.
The control board 3 for controlling the overall operation of the slot machine 1 and each part electrically connected to the control board 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. For the control board 3, in addition to the above configuration, a inserted medal detection unit 63 that detects a medal inserted as a game medium, a reel drive unit 51 that rotationally drives the reel 2, and a rotational position of the reel 2 are detected. A reference position detecting unit 66 for performing the game, a medal paying unit 54 for paying out medals, various display units 55 for producing a game, a set value operating unit 68 for setting a set value representing the player's advantage, and a speaker. An audio output unit 52 for controlling 520 and a decorative lamp unit 53 for visually producing a game are electrically connected.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the inserted medal detection unit 63 is configured to output an insert signal each time a medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 630. Three insert signals correspond to the above three-bet signals. In the slot machine 1 which is a max betting machine, when three medals are inserted or the bet button 64 is pressed, the start lever 62 is set to an effective state. That is, in the slot machine 1 of this example, the number of game media to be inserted at the start of the game is three.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the reel drive unit 51 includes a stepping motor (not shown) that can be controlled in units of steps, and is configured to rotationally drive the reel 2 by the rotational driving force of the stepping motor. This stepping motor is configured to rotate step by step for each control pulse fetched from the control board 3. The reel driving unit 51 is configured to take in the fluctuation start signal and start the rotation of the reel 2, and to take in the fluctuation stop signal and stop the reel 2.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the reference position detection unit 66 has a sensor that detects the passage of the reference position piece of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R and outputs a detection signal. As will be described in detail later, in this example, each reel 2L is based on the number of control pulses generated by the control board 3 after the generation of this detection signal, that is, the number of steps the stepping motor has rotated after passing the reference position piece. 2C and 2R calculate the symbol currently displayed (the symbol located on the winning line).

The medal payout unit 54 is configured to pay out a predetermined number of medals to the medal tray 15 under the control of the control board 3.
The set value operation unit 68 is for changing a set value for setting the winning combination probability of the bonus combination in six stages by using the setting key 680.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the control board 3 has a CPU 31, ROM 33 and RAM 34 as memory means, and an I / O unit 32 as an input / output interface. The CPU 31 executes a software program stored in the ROM 33, thereby generating a random number generating means 48 for generating a random number, a winning combination determining means 49 for determining a winning combination, a reel control means 45 for controlling the reel driving unit 51, an internal winning combination The internal lottery means 42 for lottery, the pattern calculation means 43 for calculating the winning pattern, and the notification lottery means 46 for lottering the effect pattern for notifying the winning pattern are realized.

As shown in FIG. 1, the ROM 33 stores a winning random number table used by the lottery means 42 for the lottery of the internal winning combination and a notification effect table used by the notification lottery means 46 for lottery of the effect pattern. As shown in FIG. 7, the winning random number table defines a range of random numbers for each winning combination. In the figure, random values are defined on the horizontal axis, and each role is arranged on the vertical axis. In the figure, the notation of BIG1 (REG1) represents the BIG (REG) bonus combination for internal winning simultaneously with the small role, and the BIG2 (REG2) notation represents the BIG (REG) bonus combination for internal winning independently. Represents. This figure shows that, for example, a 12-piece combination is won when random numbers 3781 to 4120 are sampled.
As can be seen from FIGS. 7 and 8, according to this winning random number table, for example, a BIG bonus combination and a 12-sheet combination can be internally won for 4119 and 4120 random numbers.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the notification effect table defines a range of random numbers for winning each effect pattern for each of 1 to 9 flag patterns corresponding to combinations of internal winning combinations including single winning. For example, in the case of flag pattern 1 which is an internal winning of a BIG bonus combination and a 12-sheet combination, the effect pattern 1 is won in a random number range of 0 to 15, and the effect pattern 2 is in a random number range of 16 to 63. Is selected and no effect is selected in the random number range of 64 to 127. Further, for example, in the case of the flag pattern 5 which is a single internal winning combination of the BIG bonus combination, the effect pattern 3 is won in a random number range of 0 to 63, and no effect is selected in a random number range of 64 to 127.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the random number generation means 48 is a means for generating a random number by an internal calculation of the CPU 31. The random number generation means 48 of this example is configured to generate a random number using the fluctuation start signal of the start lever 62 as a trigger signal and input it to the internal lottery means 42 or the notification lottery means 46. The random number generating means 48 of this example generates an integer belonging to the range of 0 to 16383 as a random number for the internal lottery means 42 and generates an integer belonging to the range of 0 to 127 as a random number for the notification lottery means 46. .

  As shown in FIG. 1, the internal lottery means 42 samples one random number from the random numbers 0 to 16383 generated by the random number generating means 48 and compares the random number with the winning random number table (FIG. 7) to determine the internal winning combination. And a flag indicating the internal winning combination is established. As shown in FIG. 2, the internal winning combination that the lottery means 42 of the present example draws has seven types of roles: BIG bonus, REG bonus, 15-piece combination, 12-sheet combination, 8-sheet combination, 9-sheet combination, and replay combination. is there. Here, the internal lottery means 42 of this example is configured so that a small combination such as a 15-sheet combination and a bonus combination can be won simultaneously. For example, when the random number is 4119 or 4120, 12 winning combinations and BIG bonus winning combinations can be won simultaneously. Note that the small role flag disappears at the end of the game regardless of whether or not a prize has been won, and the bonus combination flag is carried over to the next game if no winning is made in the game. Therefore, if the small role is not won in the internal winning game, it is a so-called missed game.

  The notification lottery means 46 refers to the notification effect table (FIG. 9) based on the random numbers 0 to 127 generated by the random number generation means 48, and determines one of the above effect patterns or no effect by lottery. It is. In this example, when the bonus combination and the small combination are simultaneously won internally, any one of the production pattern 1 (see FIG. 5), the production pattern 2 (see FIG. 6), and no production. Is determined by lottery, and in the case of a single internal winning, either the production pattern 3 or no production is decided by lottery.

  The pattern calculation means 43 is a means for calculating a winning pattern that can maximize the difference, that is, the order of winning a prize, for the internal winning combination won by the internal lottery means 42. For example, in the case where a small combination such as a 15-piece combination and a bonus combination are simultaneously won, the pattern calculation means 43 calculates a winning pattern in which a bonus combination is won via a small combination that cannot carry over the flag. To do.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the reel control means 45 is a means for starting the symbol fluctuation of the reel 2 in response to the fluctuation start signal and stopping the symbol fluctuation of the reel 2 in response to the fluctuation stop signal. The reel control means 45 inputs a control pulse to the stepping motor constituting the reel driving unit 51 and rotates the stepping motor by one step for each pulse. The reel control unit 45 counts the number of control pulses input to the reel driving unit 51, that is, the number of steps rotated by the stepping motor. In particular, in this example, the number of steps generated after the latest detection signal is counted by resetting the number of steps to zero each time the detection signal of the reference position piece of each reel 2 is captured.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the reel control means 45 performs so-called pull-in control in which symbols within a predetermined pull-in range determined by rules (rules for game machine certification, type verification, etc.) are stopped on the winning line. It is constituted as follows. Specifically, the reel control means 45 takes in the number of control pulses input to the reel drive unit 51, that is, the number of steps of the stepping motor, using the fluctuation stop signal as a trigger signal. Based on the number of steps, the Vita symbol, which is the symbol 20 instantaneously positioned on the winning lines 111 to 115, is calculated, and the four symbols 20 following the Vita symbol at the head are within the predetermined pull-in range. It was set as a design.

  If there is a winning symbol of an internal winning combination within the predetermined pulling range, the reel control means 45 performs so-called pulling control in which the winning symbol is stopped on the winning line. On the other hand, when there is no winning symbol within the predetermined drawing range, the reel control means 45 pulls the lost symbol onto the winning line and stops it so as to avoid winning of other combinations not winning internally. As the pull-in control by the reel control means 45, in addition to the control method as described above, another control method using a stop pattern table can be adopted.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the winning combination determining means 49 is a variation control means 45 for each stepping motor (reel drive unit 51) corresponding to each reel 2L, 2C, 2R after the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped. The number of steps is taken from. Then, the winning combination determining means 49 obtains the type of the symbol 20 stopped on the winning lines 211 to 215 and determines whether or not a winning combination is established for the combination of the symbols 20.

  Next, the operation of the slot machine 1 of this example configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. FIG. 10 shows a game flow in the slot machine 1. FIG. 11 shows the flow of processing for drawing effect patterns.

  First, the flow of the game in the slot machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. A game by the slot machine 1 is started using a change start signal corresponding to the operation of the start lever 62 as a trigger signal as in step S101. In starting the game, first, as shown in step S102, the lottery of the internal winning combination is performed using the change start signal as a trigger signal, and the change of the symbols of each reel 2 is started as in step S103. In the subsequent step S104, it is determined whether or not there is an internal winning combination that is a winning combination. If there is an internal winning combination, it is further determined whether or not the multiple internal winning combinations are the same as in step S105. If the winning combination is the simultaneous internal winning combination, a winning pattern that can maximize the difference is shown. Calculated (step S106).

  In the subsequent step S107, an effect pattern lottery described later with reference to FIG. 11 was performed, and data representing the winning effect pattern was stored in the RAM 34 (FIG. 1). And in step S108, the alerting | reporting effect which alert | reports a winning pattern was implemented along the effect pattern read from RAM34. Thereafter, the reel 2 is stopped as in step S109, and a winning process including determination of a winning combination, a payout of medals, and the like are performed as appropriate to finish the game.

  Next, the flow of the effect pattern lottery process in step S107 will be described with reference to FIG. First, as shown in step S201, the random number generator 48 is used to generate a random number for effect pattern lottery. In the subsequent step S202, an effect pattern was selected by referring to the notification effect table (FIG. 9) based on the random number and the flag representing the internal winning combination. For example, when 12 winning combinations and a BIG bonus winning combination are won simultaneously, the portion of the flag pattern 1 in the notification effect table is referred to and the effect pattern corresponding to the random number is determined by lottery. Thereafter, the effect pattern won as in step S203 was set in the RAM 34 (FIG. 1).

  As described above, the slot machine 1 of the present example calculates a winning pattern that can maximize the difference when a plurality of winning combinations are simultaneously won internally, and implements a notification effect that notifies the winning pattern. . Therefore, the player can efficiently win the winning combination at the same time by playing along the winning pattern. In other words, it is possible to play a game advantageously while suppressing the possibility of missing a small role that could contribute to the increase in the difference number.

  In addition, it is also possible to configure so that a two-piece combination which is a small combination and a bonus combination are simultaneously won internally. In this case, the number of game media to be paid out when the two winning combinations are won, and the number of game media to be inserted at the start of the game for the slot machine 1 which is a Max bet machine. It is better to compare the three. In the pattern calculation means 43, since the number of payouts is less than the number of insertions, it is preferable to calculate a winning pattern in which a bonus combination is preferentially won without winning a two-piece combination. According to this winning pattern, the player can be given a chance to obtain the maximum difference. As in this example, if there are 9 or more small roles that can be elected at the same time as a bonus role and the number of payouts exceeds the number of throws, the bonus role will be awarded after winning the small role. The winning pattern for winning is the best.
