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.

  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. Furthermore, when a specific rising combination is completed, the gaming machine is not a game machine that can play a special gaming combination that is advantageous to the player.

  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 winning combination faster and more reliably, before the player performs the discarding operation every time, and before performing the operation of the player's own operation, such a player should be abandoned and / or self-defeated, in particular, If this is the case, it will be important to clearly indicate the assist that can complete the uplifting role (that is, the self that will increase if it is self-explanatory). Players who have little knowledge of mahjong and game experience with sparrow ball machines will be able to complete their lifting role more reliably if they perform self-restraint and abandonment operations in accordance with this assistance means. You will be able to enjoy the game with high interest.

  As a method for judging the above-mentioned habits that will be raised by the above-described self-handling by the program processing, this “having to be raised by self-handling” should be self-contained for every 20 kinds of rising roles set. A method of creating and determining processing logic for determining wrinkles and the like is conceivable. However, if such a determination process is performed for each rising combination, it takes several seconds for the program processing time, and there is a possibility that a waiting time may occur in the game progress of the player.

  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, the present invention provides a sparrow ball game machine capable of assisting a player in a timely manner with respect to a player's game progress, including a player's current skill, including a player's own goal There is.

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 A sparrow ball game machine provided, wherein the sparrow ball game machine further comprises:
It is determined whether or not the manual data before the player performs the self-operating operation is in a listening state, and if it is determined that the manual data is in the listening state, If you decide the symbol code of the heel that goes up,
A target rising combination setting means for setting a target rising combination of the manual data for the manual data that has been determined that the upward movement determining means is not in a hearing state if the self-existing;
Self-decision judging means for judging a symbol code of a kite to be self-contained in the manual data for the set target ascending role;
Means for displaying on the display means before the player performs the operation of the player, the symbol of the bag corresponding to the symbol code that rises if the player himself or herself , ,
A data table stored in the storage device, the evaluation score preset for each entrance, and an entrance evaluation score data table associated with a design code corresponding to the design of the entrance,
A means for setting a target rising hand for the manual data for the manual data before the player performs the discarding operation;
A throwing-up judgment means for judging a symbol code to be thrown away from the hand data for the set target rising combination with reference to the entrance evaluation score data table;
Means for displaying on the display means the symbol of the bag corresponding to the symbol code to be abandoned before the player performs the operation of the dumping rod,
The throwing spear determining means refers to the hand data for which the symbol code has been determined by referring to the entrance evaluation score data table, and the inscription, the order, the tower, the fitting tower, Of the evaluation scores of the entrance entrance stored in the entrance entrance evaluation score data table corresponding to each design code of the isolated soot that is not involved in the design of the side tower and the counter A sparrow ball game machine having means for determining an isolated kite having the smallest evaluation score as a symbol code of the kite to be discarded .

  Further, according to the present invention, a rising role for determining whether or not the manual data is in a hearing state, and a target upward role of the manual data are “Kokushi Musou” and “Seven-pair”. The sparrow ball game machine is composed of three types of “general climbing roles” composed of “Kanko” and “Junko” of four sets of sparrow heads.

  In the configuration of the present invention described above, the fact that the manual data is in the “listening state” means that if any one of the manual data is added to the current 13 manual data by the operation of the user, The tactile data that has become indicates that there is a possibility of constituting a combination of preset rising combinations. Further, “the wrinkle that rises if self-represents” indicates a reed that should be self-recognizable, which can be combined with the combination of the rising hand in the “listening state”. Depending on the state of the design of the hand data in the “listening state”, there are a plurality of “the wrinkles that can be raised by oneself”.

  In addition, the “general ascending role” is a normal ascending role excluding “Kunishi Musou” and “Seven Pair”, which is a special combination of the ascending heels. Shows a rising combination consisting of one head and a total of four “Kongo” or “Junko”, or a combination of these “Kongo” and “Junko”. It does not indicate the specific name of the rising role.

The sparrow ball game machine of the present invention has the following effects.
(1) It is determined whether or not the current thirteen hands are in the “listening state” before the player performs his own self-operation. If it is determined that the hand is in the “listening state”, it is further determined that “if you do it, it will go up” and the design of this bag is clearly displayed on the screen of the display device. Like to do. Thereby, the player can recognize the entrance that rises when he / she enters, that is, the entrance which rises when he / she enters, and can release the game ball.

  (2) If it is determined according to (1) above that the game before the player performs the self-playing operation is not in the “listening state”, this game is obtained from the design data of the game. A goal-raising role for the heel is set, a heel to be self-recognized with respect to the goal-raising role is determined, and the determined design of the heel is clearly indicated on the screen of the display device or the like. In addition, for the hand before the player performs the discarding operation every time, the goal-raising role of this hand should be set from the design data of this hand, and the goal-raising role should be discarded. A heel is determined, and the determined pattern of the heel is clearly displayed on the screen of the display device. As a result, a player who has little or no experience in mahjong game can operate and discard his / her own game in response to the symbols displayed on the display device every time he / she operates and discards his / her own game. Since it is only necessary to operate the kite, it is possible to provide a sparrow ball game machine that can easily enjoy the game.

  (3) In the above (1) and (2), the raising role for determining whether or not the hand is in the “listening state” and the goal raising role of the hand are “Kokushi Musou” and “Seven pairs” There are three types of “general rising roles” consisting of “child” and one set of sparrow head and four sets of “kikko” and “junko”. Further, the “general rising combination” does not target the 20 kinds of individual rising combination names constituting the rising combination. For this reason, it is determined whether or not the hand is in the “listening state” by the program processing, setting of the goal-raising role of the hand, and judgment of the habit that should be self-recognized and thrown away for this goal-raising role Time can be shortened. This allows the player to follow the game progress and perform the player's own operation, or before performing the operation of the abandonment, to the player, “there will be a rise that will occur”, You will be able to specify the trap that should be.

  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 layout program P5 is a program for performing a process of automatically determining 14 symbols codes of the layout at random 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 the symbol code data table shown in FIG. 8, for example, hexadecimal codes from “one glance” to “medium” are set for each of the 27 types of symbols, and each symbol code has 4 Numbers are assigned, and these symbol code data tables are 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 determined by lottery. The method of determining the winning combination that can acquire the special game right 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 is a winning combination in which the hand data is set in advance when the 14 hand data is determined by the above-described automatic layout program P5 and when the player performs his own operation. It is a program for judging whether it is a combination. 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. Then, if the winning determination program P8 determines that the winning combination has been completed for the current 14 hand data, the number of acquired medals is obtained with reference to the data table shown in FIG. A process of transmitting a command, a code for its rising role, 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.

In addition, when 14 manual data completes a rising combination, the combination of the manual data of the upward combination includes any of “frontal”, “white”, “發”, and “medium”. Then, as shown in FIG. 9, three medals are added to the number of medals acquired by the rising combination.
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 determines whether or not the current 13 pieces of hand-held data stored in the RAM 42b are in the “listening state”, and if it is determined that the current state is in the “listening state”. Further controls to perform the process of determining the symbol code of “the heel that will rise if you are self-sufficient”. On the other hand, if it is determined that the current 13 hand data are not in the “listening state”, the target rising combination is set for the 13 hand data, and the target Control is performed so as to perform a process of determining a symbol code of the appropriate kite to complete the rising combination.

Further, the assist program P24 is 14 pieces of manual data after the player has performed his own operation, and when the manual data that has not completed the rising combination is transmitted from the main control board Ka. Then, the target rising combination is set for the 14 hand movement data, and in order to complete the rising combination, a process for determining an appropriate bag symbol code to be discarded from the movement data is performed. Control.
Then, the assist program P24 displays the symbol of the heel that will be raised if the player himself or herself is operated before the player performs the operation of the player himself, or before the player performs the operation of the discarder. In order to assist the player with the symbol of the bag to be discarded, control is performed to display it on the first display device 10 or the like.

  The processing content of the assist program P24 is a feature of the present invention, and is mainly composed of an upward wrinkle determination program P24a and a target upward combination setting program P24b. The processing content of the rising wrinkle determination program P24a by itself constitutes a rising wrinkle determination means. Further, the processing content of the goal raising combination setting program P24b constitutes the goal raising combination setting means.

  If self-existing, the rising wrinkle determination program P24a determines whether or not the current 13 pieces of manual data are in the state of “listening if self-existing”, and is in the state of “listening if self-existing”. If it is determined, it is a program that performs a process of determining a symbol code of “a kite that goes up if it is self-sufficient”, and as a subprogram, a seven-pair listening kit and a kite judging program P24a1, There is provided a rising habit determination program P24a2 and a general rising role listening / rising habit determination program P24a3.

The Kokushi Muso Hearing Hearing / Uprising Judgment Program P24a1 determines whether or not the current thirteen hand data is listening in the ascending role of “Kokushi Musou”. A process of determining the symbol code of the kite that goes up if it is performed by itself. The seven-pair listening / upward determination program P24a2 determines whether or not the current 13 pieces of hand-held data are listening as a rising pair of “seven pairs”. Performs the process of determining the symbol code of “the heel that will rise if you speak”.
Further, the general rising role listening / upward determination program P24a3 determines whether or not the current 13 hand movement data are being listened to as a “general rising role”, and if it is determined that they are listening A process of determining the symbol code of “the heel that will be raised if oneself” is performed.

  Then, if the symbol code of this “saddle that will rise if self-recognized” is determined, the rising wrinkle determination program P24a transmits this symbol code to the second image control board Kd, and the second code control board Kd. The display device 16 is controlled to display a symbol corresponding to the symbol code.

  The goal-raising role setting program P24b is based on the above-mentioned Kokushi Muso Hearing / Uprising Judgment Program P24a1, Seven Pair / Rising Kite Judgment Program P24a2, and General Kicking Hearing / Rising Hajime Determination Program P24a3. This is a program that is operated by the control of the assist program P24 when it is determined that the child is not listening with any of the “child” and “general rising combination”. 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 of determining whether or not the target rising combination can be set to “Kokushi Musou” for the current manual data. When it is determined that the setting is possible, when there are 13 pieces of current hand movement data, the self determination processing program P24b1-1 that is a subprogram thereof is operated to perform a process of determining the symbol code of the bag to be determined. .

  In addition, the Kokushi Musou no climbing role determination program P24b1 activates the discard spear determination program P24b1-2 which is a subprogram when the current hand spider data is 14, and determines the symbol code of the spear to be discarded. Perform processing.

  The seven-pair child rising combination determination program P24b2 performs a process of determining whether or not the target rising combination can be set to “seven-pair” for the current manual data. If it is determined that it is possible to set, when there are 13 pieces of current hand movement data, the self determination determination program P24b2-1, which is a subprogram thereof, is activated to perform a process for determining the symbol code of the movement to be determined. .

  Similarly, the seven-pair child raising combination determination program P24b2 operates the discard spear determination program P24b2-2, which is a subprogram when the current hand sputum data is 14, so that the spear should be discarded. A process of determining a symbol code is performed.

  The general rising combination setting program P24b3 performs processing for setting the target rising combination for the current manual data to “general rising combination”. When the current number of hand movement data is 13, a self-determination determination program P24b3-1, which is a subprogram thereof, is operated to perform a process of determining the symbol code of the habit to be determined.

  Similarly, when there are 14 current hand tile data, the sub-program discarding spear determination program P24b3-2 is operated to perform a process of determining the symbol code 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. Control is performed so as to perform the process of determining the symbol code of the bag to be self-recognized with respect to the set target lifting combination. Further, the order of operating these programs is such that the Kokushi Musou rising role determination program P24b1 or the 7-pair rising role determination program P24b2 is operated first, and “Kunishi Musou” and “Seven-pair” 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) “Seven pairs” is a rising combination constituted by a combination of seven “pairs”, so it is a relatively easy combination in a sparrow ball game machine, and the structure of the symbol is simple. is there. 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 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-studying candidate selection support program P42b-1 selects the symbol of the self-stuffing candidate displayed on the second display device 16 when the player has acquired the special gamer's right, This is a program for supporting the operation of selecting the symbol of the cocoon to be self-contained by the interactive method while operating the heel selection left shift button 22b to scroll.

For example, the rising wrinkle display program P42c is, for example, a self-determination determination program P26a1-1, P226b1-1, which is a subprogram of the first target rising combination determination program P26 mounted on the sub-control board Kb. When the self-determination determination program P27a1-1, P27a2-2,..., Which is a subprogram of the second goal raising combination determination program P27, determines that “if the self-recognition increases,” This is a program for displaying on the second display device 16 the symbol of “raise that will rise.
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. The operation of the 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 the 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 stores the number of inserted medals in the storage area of the RAM 42a that stores the number of stored medal.

  When the main control program P1 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 press the game start button 18. A control command 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 the 14 design codes, the hand display unit 34 of the display device 16 displays an image of the design as shown in FIG. A process of displaying on the self-displaying unit 35 is performed.

  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 32a and 32b, and the front drum 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 from the main control board Ka 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 side of the table, these codes Is stored in the RAM 42b.

  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 activated when the player performs a self-control operation such as firing a game ball and the number of handballs reaches 14.

  When it is determined by the processing of the winning determination program P8 that the 14 hand-paid data that have been automatically distributed have completed the preset winning combination, the winning determination program P8 is any preset value. Processing for determining whether or not the player has raised the winning combination and processing for determining a score (number of acquired medals) and the like that can be acquired by the player with reference to the data table for acquired medal number by increasing combination 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. The assist program P24 activates the target raising combination setting program P24b. The goal raising combination setting program P24b sets the goal raising combination for the current manual data according to the following (Procedure 1) to (Procedure 3), and then discards the goal raising combination from the manual data. The process which determines the bag which should be taken is performed.

(Procedure 1)
First, it is determined whether or not the target rising combination for the current manual data can be set to “Kokushi Musou” by operating the Kokushi Musou rising combination determination program P24b1. If it is determined that setting is possible, the target rising combination of the current manual data is set to “Kokushi Musou”.
Subsequently, the Kokushi Musou Gosei Judgment Program P24b1 operates the discard samurai judgment program P24b1-2, and with respect to “Kokushi Musou”, which is the goal-raising role for the current 14 geisha data, A process for determining an appropriate dumping waste is performed. 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 2)
When “Kokushi Musou” cannot be set as the current rising goal that is the target of the current procedure by the above (Procedure 1), the goal raising role setting program P24b operates the seven-pair child raising role determination program P24b2. Then, it is determined whether or not the target rising combination can be set to “seven pairs” for the current manual data. If it is determined that setting is possible, the target rising combination of the current manual data is set to “seven pairs”.
Subsequently, a process for determining an appropriate discard from the manual data with respect to the target raising role “seven pairs” of the current 14 manual data by operating the discard data determining program P24b2-2. To 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)
When the above-mentioned (Procedure 2) cannot set “seven pairs” as the target rising combination for the current procedure, the target rising combination setting program P24b operates the general rising combination setting program P24b3. Then, a process for setting the target rising combination for the current manual data to “general rising combination” is performed.
Subsequently, the general rising combination setting program P24b3 operates the throwing away determination program P24b3-2 in the same manner as in the (Procedure 1) and (Procedure 2), and the target rising combination “ A process for determining an appropriate discarded object from the manual data is performed on the “general rising combination”. 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.

  In addition, as described above, the “general ascending role” is a normal ascending role excluding “Kunishi Musou” and “Seven pairs”, which are special combinations of the ascending combination of the rising roles, ie, 14 Tail data shows a rising role composed of 1 set of sparrow head and a total of 4 sets of “Konko” or “Junko” or a combination of these “Konko” and “Junko”. It does not indicate a name.

  Subsequently, a processing procedure for setting a target winning combination of the current manual data in the above (procedure 1) to (procedure 3) will be described. This processing procedure can be set by the method described in (Procedure 4) to (Procedure) below.

(Procedure 4)
For example, the necessary conditions for setting “Kokushi Musou” and “Seven Pairs” as the goal booster for the current manual data are determined in advance as shown in FIG. Is encoded and registered in the goal-raising role setting program P24b or the like. The target rising combination setting data table shown in FIG. 13 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 relevant winning combination as a target rising combination of the current manual data, or data relating to a combination of saddles. For example, for “Kokushi Musou”, the first requirement is that “there are nine or more species of Yaochu” included in the manual data. With respect to “seven pairs”, the first requirement is that “five or more pairs of“ pairs ”are included and“ nots ”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, it is possible to determine whether or not “Kokushi Musou” can be set as a goal-raising role by the Kokushi Musou-raising role judging program P24b1 as follows.

  (1) First, the Kokushi Musou no climbing role determination program P24b1 refers to the goal lifting role setting data table shown in FIG. 13 and the current requirement data stored in the RAM 42b in the first necessary condition. 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. Subsequently, the throwing away spear determination program P24b1-2 is operated to perform processing for determining a spear that should be discarded.

  (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” ascending role is added to the current manual data to complete the “Kokushi Musou” ascending role. This means the number of Yaochu rice cakes. 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 a process of comparing with the symbol code of the manual data.

  In addition, the reason why “Nine or more Yaochu species are included in the current manual data” is set as the first necessary condition for determining “Kokushi Musou” as a goal booster is that the present invention In the sparrow ball game machine, 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 2 shown in FIG. 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 manually adjust the spring force of the launch lever by hand to allow the game balls to 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.

  Further, the number of the remaining game balls can be obtained by referring to the current remaining game ball value stored in the RAM 42b. That is, since the remaining number of game balls is grasped by the game ball management program P4 of the main control board Ka, when the remaining number of game balls is transmitted from the main control board Ka to the sub control board Kb, The main control program P21 of the control board Kb performs a process of storing the remaining number of game balls 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 a goal-raising combination can be performed by the same procedure as the method for determining whether or not “Kokushi Musou” can be set as a goal-raising role.
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 the assist of throwing away, that is, when an operation of throwing away an unnecessary piece of spear from the current 14 pieces of throwing hand data is performed, the symbol of the spear that should be thrown away is thrown away. Before performing the above operation, a procedure that is clearly indicated to the player will be described.
If the player's own maneuvering operation has changed to 14 pieces of hand tile data, the combination of rising roles cannot be completed. It is necessary to perform an operation. In the sparrow ball game machine of the present invention, before the player discards one unnecessary spear from the current manual data, the first display device 10 or the like is determined by determining the symbol of the spear that should be discarded. Assist means for displaying on the screen is provided.

  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 procedure for determining a bag to be discarded can basically be performed based on the procedures described in the following (Procedure 6) to (Procedure 9). In this (Process 6), it is determined whether or not an isolated kite is included in the current manual game data, and if the isolated kite is included, the player is assisted as a kite to be discarded. Perform processing. Further, when an isolated wrinkle is not determined in (Procedure 6), a process for determining a wrinkle to be discarded according to (Procedure 7) and (Procedure 8) is performed.

(Procedure 6)
First, among the cocoons included in the 14 pieces of manual data, the isolated cocoon is determined as a cocoon to be discarded, and the symbol code is stored in the RAM 42b. In this (Procedure 6), when the isolated cocoon data is not included in the manual data, any one of the following (Procedure 7) to (Procedure 9) is performed to perform a process for determining the discarded cocoon. .

  The above-mentioned isolated traps are the required traps for each rising role and the isolated trap determination data table shown in FIG. 14, which are “Kokushi Musou”, “Seven pairs”, “General rising role” as rising roles. Each is defined with respect to the tiles that make up the current procedure data. The data related to the isolated flaw or the determination rule for determining the isolated flaw is incorporated as processing logic for registering or making a determination in each of the discarded wrinkle determination programs P24b1-2, P24b2-2, P24b3-2, and the like. .

  For example, when the rising role is “Kokushi Musou”, an isolated kite included in the manual table data represents a kite other than Yaochu. In addition, the isolated kite when the climbing role is “general climbing role” is “face” (“carved” or “junko”), “toko”, “fitting tower”, “ This indicates a spear that does not form a “pair” or “side tower”. When the goal-raising role is “Seven Pairs”, there is no isolated trap.

  Also, in (Procedure 6), if there are a plurality of isolated kites, for example, referring to the entrance evaluation score data table shown in FIG. Make a decision. 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.

  In the entrance evaluation score data table shown in FIG. 15, the evaluation scores given to the 27 entrances are mainly the ease of entering the 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 entrance openings, the entrances of “Four bases”, “Five bases”, and “Six bases”, which are located at the approximate center of the lower left part 2a of the game board surface part 2, enter the game balls aiming. It is relatively easy to make a ball, and from this ease, it is relatively easy to form a combination of “junko”, “pair”, “knot” and “tower (both sides 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”.

  Next, a processing procedure when there is no isolated soot in the hand data will be described based on the following (Procedure 7) to (Procedure 9).

(Procedure 7)
The fact that the goal-raising role is set to “Kokushi Musou” and the isolated data is not included in the manual data indicates that the manual data is composed of Yaochu. Therefore, in (Procedure 7), if one of the ridges forming the indenter (including the same four ridges) or two or more pairs of pairs are formed from the handpiece data, Determines that any one of the bags is abandoned and stores the symbol code in the RAM 42b.

(Procedure 8)
When the goal-raising combination is set to “seven pairs”, the bag that does not form “pairs” is determined to be discarded 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 9)
When the goal rising combination is set to “general rising combination”, when one heel is sequentially discarded from the current 14 hand data, the hand data that has become 13 is stored. With respect to the structure of the symbol code, a score is given with reference to the combination score data table of the heel shown in FIG. 16, and the heel having the largest total score of 13 hand heel data is determined to be discarded and the symbol The code is stored in the RAM 42b.

  The combination score data table of the kite shown in FIG. 16 includes a “face” (“junko” or “engrave”), “toko”, “fitting tower”, “pair”, “ This is a data table for preliminarily setting points for “side towers” and “isolated tiles”, and evaluating the status of the hand tile data based on the scores, and is registered in the goal raising combination setting program P24b and the like.

Using the scissors combination score data table shown in FIG. 16, the process of evaluating 13 hand data using a score as a temporary discard from the current 14 hand data is performed as follows. It can be done as follows.
If there are two sets of “faces” in the manual data, 4 points × 2 sets = 8 points, and if there are 1 set of “tago”, 3 points × 1 set = 3 points. For the “isolated kite”, “0” points are set in the data table shown in FIG. 16, but points are given with reference to the entrance evaluation score data table shown in FIG. For example, when “two baseballs” is included as an isolated baseball in the manual base data, “two points” is assigned to the “second base” with reference to the entrance score data table of FIG. To do. The total score of the evaluation points is obtained by summing up the points thus assigned, and the total score of the manual data and the symbol code that has been temporarily discarded are stored in the RAM 42b. By such a process, when one symbol code is sequentially discarded from the hand data, the symbol code having the largest total score of 13 hand data is determined to be a discarded character, The symbol code is stored in the RAM 42b.

The reason for determining a bag having the largest total score of 13 hands as a throwing bag when one bag is sequentially set as a temporary bag is as follows.
The fact that the total score of the manual data is large indicates that the manual data includes many combinations of “face” and “waiting for both sides” and is closer to the “general rising role” configuration. Therefore, if it is determined that the bag having the largest total score in the manual data is discarded, 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 tents (temporary discarding traps) having the largest total score of manual data are determined, an appropriate priority order is set, for example, character characters are prioritized and determined as discarding traps. It is good 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.

  When it is determined by the above (Procedure 6) to (Procedure 9) that the bag should be discarded, the assist program P24 sends the symbol code of the determined bag along with the control command to the first image control board Kc. Send. 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. This makes it possible to assist the player with the symbol of the bag to be discarded from the current manual data before the player performs the operation of the discarded bag every time.

  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.

  Subsequently, the player assists the player to determine himself / herself, that is, the current 13 game data, determines an appropriate enemy to assist himself / herself with respect to the target ascending role, and determines the symbol of the enemy to himself / herself. Is described before the player performs his own operation. The determination of the wrinkle to be self-contained is performed according to the following procedure.

(Procedure 10)
The main control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb activates the assist program P24 when the 13 pieces of hand-drawn pattern data after the player performs the throw-in operation is sent from the main control board Ka. Let The assist program P24 activates the rising combination determination program P24a if it is self-recognized, and the current 13 hand data are any one of “Kokushi Musou”, “Seven pairs”, and “General rising combination”. It is determined whether or not it is in a hearing state. This determination process is performed by the Kokushi Muso Hearing / Rising Habit Determination Program P24a1, the Seven-pair Hearing / Rising Habit Determination Program P24a2, and the General Raising Role / Rising Habit Determination Program P24a3, respectively.

(Procedure 11)
If it is determined in the above (Procedure 10) that the state is “listening state”, a process of determining “a wrinkle that rises if it is present” is performed. When it is determined that "Kokushi Musou" is listening, the determination of "Singe that goes up if self-speaking" is determined that the program P24a1 determines that "Seven pairs" are listening. Is determined by the program P24a3 when it is determined by the program P24a2 that he / she is listening with “general lifting role”. Then, if it is self-recognizing, the rising combination determining program P24a transmits the determined symbol code of “recognizing reeds” to the second image control board Kd and transmits it to the second display device 16. Control is performed to display as a to-be-supplied tile, that is, "to be lifted by self".
In (Procedure 10) and (Procedure 11), the current manual data becomes “listening state” with any of the “Kokushi Musou”, “Seven pairs”, and “General rising” The determination procedure of whether or not there is and the determination procedure of “the wrinkle that will rise if you do it yourself” will be described later.

  If it is determined by the processing in (Procedure 11) that the current manual data is not in the “listening state”, 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 manual data by the following (procedure 12) to (procedure 14). Subsequently, a process for determining an appropriate symbol code of the bag to be self-restrained with respect to the goal-raising combination is performed.

(Procedure 12)
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 manual data can be set to “Kokushi Musou”. If it is determined that setting is possible, the target rising combination of the current manual data is set to “Kokushi Musou”. Subsequently, the Kokushi Musou climbing combination determination program P24b1 operates the self-determination determination program P24b1-1, and adds the current 13 Kakuji data target climbing combination “Kokushi Musou” to this manual data. Appropriate self-restraint, ie. A process of determining the symbol code of the bag to be self-contained is performed. Then, the determined symbol code is transmitted to the first image control board Kc so that the player can display the symbol of the trap to be displayed on the first display device 10 before the player performs the control of the player. To control.

(Procedure 13)
When “Kokushi Musou” cannot be set as the target rising hand of the current manual data by the above (procedure 12), the target rising combination setting program P24b sets the seven-pair child rising combination determination program P24b2. By operating, it is determined whether or not the target rising combination can be set to “seven pairs” for the current manual data. If it is determined that setting is possible, the target rising combination of the current manual data is set to “seven pairs”. Subsequently, the self-determination determination program P24b2-1 is operated to set an appropriate self-determination to be added to the manual data for the current 13-pronged goal uplifting “seven pairs”. A process of determining a symbol code is performed. Then, the determined symbol code is transmitted to the first image control board Kc so that the symbol to be regarded as self-contained is displayed on the first display device 10 before the player performs the self-contained operation. To control.

(Procedure 14)
When “Seven Pairs” cannot be set as the current rising goal that is the target of the current procedure by the above (Procedure 13), the target raising combination setting program P24b operates the general rising combination setting program P24b3. Then, a process for setting the target rising combination for the current manual data to “general rising combination” is performed. Subsequently, the general rising combination setting program P24b3 operates the self-determination determination program P24b3-1 in the same manner as the above (procedure 12) and (procedure 13), and the target rising combination “ A process of determining an appropriate symbol code of the heel to be added to the hand data is performed on the “general rising combination”. 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.

  It is to be noted whether the Kokushi Musou Climbing Role Determination Program P24b1 and the Seven Pairs Rising Role Determination Program P24b2 can respectively set “Kokushi Musou” and “Seven Pairs” as the target climbing combination of the current 13 manual data. The determination procedure can be performed by the same processing as in (Procedure 4) and (Procedure 5) with reference to the above-described goal increasing combination setting data table shown in FIG.

Subsequently, according to the above-mentioned Kokushi Muso Hearing / Uprising Judgment Program P24a1, Seven Pairs Hearing / Uprising Judgment Program P24a2, and General Rising Role / Uprising Judgment Program P24a3, the current 13 hand-held data are “listening state”. The procedure for determining whether or not “” will be described.
In this determination, it is possible to determine whether or not the current manual data is in the “listening state” for each of the 20 winning combinations set by program processing. However, when all the winning combinations are determined, the determination processing time becomes longer due to the combination of the symbol codes of the hand data, and there is a possibility that a waiting time may occur in the game progress of the player. For this reason, in the present invention, the following technical idea is adopted to determine in a short time whether or not the current manual data is in the “listening state”.

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 types of spears, if 14 hand-held data complete a combination of “general lift” except “Seven Pairs” and “Kokushi Musou” When the number (total number) of each kind of hand data is divided by 3, the combination (array pattern) of the remaining number for each kind is represented by the following array pattern (1). Can do.
(0, 0, 2) ... (1)

  In the arrangement pattern (1), when 14 hand-lapping data constitutes a combination of rising roles, a total of 4 combinations of “knot” and “junko” and a combination of “sparrow head (counter)” It shows that it becomes one set. In other words, “Konko” and “Junko” are composed of three of the same type (multiple of 3), so if the combination of “Konko” or “Junko” is completed, the total of each type When the number is divided by 3, the remainder 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. In addition, since the “sparrow head” is composed of two 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.

Therefore, when the 14 pieces of hand data constitute a combination of rising combinations, when the total number of each kind is divided by 3, the combination of the remaining number for each kind is shown in the arrangement pattern (1). Thus, the combination is “0”, “0”, and “2”. 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 is possible to determine from the above-described arrangement pattern (1) at the time of ascending whether there is a possibility that 13 pieces of manual data are being listened to. That is, when 13 pieces of manual data are listened to, when the total number of each type is divided by 3, the remainder combination for each type is the following array pattern (2), (3) Can be expressed as
(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 13 pieces of manual data are being listened to is as follows.

  For 14 manual data, if any one kind of seed is deleted from the above array pattern (0, 0, 2) showing the upward array pattern, then 13 hand data is obtained. This is because the array pattern of the remainder combination is (0, 0, 1) or (0, 2, 2). From this, when the current 13 pieces of hand-drawn data can be represented by the above-described arrangement pattern (2) or (3), any kind of mahjong tile can be identified by itself, and the rising arrangement pattern (0, 0 2) can be configured, that is, whether or not there is a possibility of completing the rising combination, and further, “the wrinkle that will be increased if oneself” is determined in a very short processing time of the program. . 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.

  As a result, the general rising combination hearing / uppering determination program P24a3 determines whether the current 13 hand movement data are “general rising combination” and “listening state” or not. When the number is divided by 3 and the array of the remaining combinations for each type is (0, 0, 1) or (0, 2, 2), which is the above-described array pattern at the time of listening, It can be determined that the state is "listening state".

  Furthermore, when the current 13 pieces of manual data include 8 to 11 types of numbers “1” and “9” and character fonts, the manual data is obtained by the following self-operation. It can be determined that the winning combination cannot be completed even if one heel is self-sufficient. Therefore, if it is determined by itself, it is preferable to incorporate this determination logic into the rising wrinkle determination program P24a to determine whether or not the current 13 pieces of hand movement data are in the “listening state”.

  As a result of the above-described determination using the arrangement pattern at the time of listening, if the current 13 pieces of hand-held data are being listened to with a rising role of “Kokushi Musou”, “Seven pairs”, or “General rising role” If it is determined, when one heel is temporarily added to this hand data and added, the rising symbol can be completed, that is, the symbol code of “the heel that goes up if you quit”. The process which determines is performed. Then, the rising wrinkle determination program P24a performs control for displaying on the second display device 16 and the like the symbol of “the wrinkles that will rise if self-recognizing”.

  If it is determined whether the above 13 current hand-held data are in the “listening state” and if it is determined to be in the “listening state”, then “ The outline of the processing procedure for determining the symbol code “is shown in FIG. The outline of the processing procedure shown in FIG. 18 will be described for each step as follows.

(Step S1)
First, with respect to the symbol codes of the 13 handbag data stored in the RAM 42b of the sub-control board Kb, the number “1” and “9” of “1” and “9” "One cylinder", "Jiyu", "Nine cylinders", "Ichigo", "Jukugo", and the number of types A including the character candy are 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 13 pieces of hand movement data include 8 to 11 types of numbers “1” and “9” and the number of types A of character fonts, In this way, the current 13 manual data is not likely to be increased even if one additional manual operation is added by the next self-operation, and thus the processing ends. In addition, if the process of this step S1 is self-sufficient, it is good to make it perform with the rising wrinkle determination program P24a.

(Step S2)
In step S2, whether or not it is possible to go up in “seven pairs” by adding one kite to the current thirteen hands by the seven-pair listening / upping judgment program P24a2. That is, it is determined whether or not the “listening state” is set. If it is determined that the state is “listening state” in “Seven Pairs”, the symbol code of the kite that can be raised if he / she himself / herself is set as “the kite which can be raised if he / she speaks” by step S11a. A process of temporarily storing in the RAM 42b is performed. If it is determined that “seven pairs” cannot be raised, the process proceeds to step S3.

  To determine whether or not the current manual data is in a “listening state” that can be raised in “seven pairs” if one hand is self-identified, for example, program the following process Will be possible.

  (1) The symbol codes of the 13 pieces of manual data stored in the RAM 42 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, it is determined that the 13 manuals are heard as “seven pairs”. be able to. However, when four identical symbol codes are prepared, it is not determined that the user is listening with “seven pairs”.

  (3) If it is possible to determine that he / she is listening with “seven pairs” in the process of (2) above, about two identical symbol codes are prepared from 13 pieces of manual data. It can be determined that the symbol code of the remaining one bag excluding the six pairs of “pairs” is “a bag that goes up if it is oneself”. However, when the symbol code of “rising that goes up if self-speaking” is included in the six pairs of symbol codes of “pair”, it should not be judged as “scoring that goes up if self-speaking”. .

(Step S3)
In step S3, it is determined whether or not the current 13 pieces of hand-held data are in the “listening state” by the Kokushi Muso Hearing / Upgoing determination program P24a1. If it is determined that “Kokushi Musou” is in the “listening state”, the symbol code of “牌 to be raised if self-confidence” is determined. The process of temporarily storing in the RAM 42b is performed in step S11a. If it is determined that “Kokushi Musou” cannot be raised, the process proceeds to step S4.

  “Kokushi Musou” is a combination of 13 types of “1” and “9” and one character, each of which is a “sparrow head”. When the 13 pieces of hand-held data are being listened to by the rising role of “Kokushi Musou”, 13 types of “1” and “9” are collected one by one and the remaining one is waiting for 13 faces. There are 12 types of “1” and “9” and the remaining one waiting for a tank with the “sparrow head” formed. Therefore, it is possible to determine whether or not he / she can hear “Kokushi Musou” and go up with “Kokushi Musou” 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 13 pieces of hand gesture data are calculated.

  (2) In the process of (1) above, if the number “1” “9” and the number A of the character fonts are 11 or less, “Kokushi Musou” is not in the “listening state”. Since it can be determined, the process of step S3 is terminated.

  (3) In the process of (1) above, when 13 types A are included, since “Kokushi Musou” is used for listening, the numbers “1” and “9” and all characters In step S11a, a process of temporarily storing these symbol codes in the RAM 42b is carried out as "score that will rise if self-speaking" which waits for 13 symbols.

  (4) When the number of types A is included in the process of (1) above, it is checked whether or not two of the 12 types of symbol codes are included, that is, “sparrow” Check if a "head" is formed. And when the “sparrow head” is formed, any one of the remaining few “1”, “9” and the character 牌 becomes “an eagle that goes up if you speak” The remaining one symbol code is determined, and the symbol code is temporarily stored in the RAM 42b in step S11a.

(Step S4)
The processing from steps S4 to S12 is a step performed by the general rising role listening / upward determining program P24a3 for “general rising role” excluding “seven pairs” and “Kokushi Musou”.
In step S4, the general winning combination listening / rising judgment program P24a3 first calculates the number of scissors for each scissor type with respect to the symbol codes of the 13 hand scissors data stored in the RAM 42b. For the calculation of the number of cocoons for each type, the number of each type of “coconut”, “tube” and “character” is calculated with reference to the symbol code data table shown in FIG. 8, and these numbers are stored in the RAM 42b. To remember. It should be noted that in this number calculation process, “Isuko” and “Kyuuko” of “Song” are processed as “Character”.

  Subsequently, the number of cocoons for each cocoon type calculated in the above process is divided by “3”, and the remainder number X (remaining number of insulators), Y (remaining number of cylinders), Z (character 牌) Find the remainder). 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. Subsequently, an array pattern (X, Y, Z) in which the remaining numbers are arrayed is obtained and stored in the RAM 42b. This arrangement pattern (X, Y, Z) is referred to as a manual arrangement pattern in the following description.

(Step S5)
The arrangement pattern (X, Y, Z) of the handle obtained in step S4 is the arrangement pattern expression (2) or expression (3) at the time of the above-described listening, that is, (0, 0, 1) or (0, 2). 2) is performed to determine whether or not it matches. As described above, when determining whether or not they coincide with each other, it is not necessary to consider the order of “lion”, “tube”, and “letter” as the arrangement order.

In step S5, if the arrangement pattern of the hand tile obtained in step S4 matches the above-described arrangement pattern formula (2) or formula (3) at the time of listening, as described above, the 13 manual routines are performed. Can be determined to be in the hearing state, and the process proceeds to the next processing step S6. On the other hand, if it is determined in the above processing that they do not match, the processing is terminated.
In actual program processing, the elements of the hand arrangement pattern obtained from the current hand data are sorted in ascending order and stored in the RAM 42b. Then, processing is performed to compare the sorted arrangement pattern of the handed hand with the arrangement pattern expression (2) or expression (3) at the time of listening. Also, the arrangement pattern formula (2) or formula (3) at the time of listening is previously registered as constants “001” and “022” in the general rising role listening / rising judgment program P24a3. .

  If it is determined in the process of step S5 that the current 13 pieces of hand-held data have not been heard, that is, there is no possibility of going up even if one hand is added by the self-operation, step S6 and subsequent steps. Do not perform the process. As a result, the processing time of the general rising role listening / rising determination program P24a3 can be shortened.

(Step S6)
In step S6, first, in order to change the arrangement pattern of the hand tile obtained in step S4 to the above-described upward arrangement pattern (1), that is, (0, 0, 2), it is added to the current hand movement data. A process for obtaining one seed to be performed is performed. For example, when the current pattern data is (2, 2, 0), the process for obtaining the seed type can be performed as follows.

  (1) The arrangement pattern of the hand tile is (2, 2, 0). For example, when the number of each hand type is divided by “3” with respect to the current 13 pieces of hand data, for example, “lion” This indicates that the number of remainders of 2 is 2, the number of remainders of “cylinder” is 2, and the number of remainders of “letters” is 0. Therefore, in order to add one cocoon type to the arrangement pattern (2, 2, 0) of the hand and make it an array pattern expression (0, 0, 2) when going up, If one type of “Tsutsuko” is added to the manual data, the number of remainders divided by “3” will be “0”, so the array pattern will be ascending (0, 0, 2) I understand.

  (2) By incorporating the processing procedure of the above (1) into the general rising role listening / upward determining program P24a3, it is possible to determine the type of “up if self-inhibiting”. It should be noted that the array pattern formula (1) at the time of rising is registered in advance as a constant “002” in the rising wrinkle determination program P24a if it is determined in advance.

(Step S7)
Regarding the cocoon seeds obtained in step S6, first, one cocoon is selected from the cocoons constituting this cocoon seed. For example, when the cocoon type is “Isogo”, a process of selecting “Jiufen” sequentially from the symbol code “Ichigo”, which is the ascending order of the symbol code, is performed. This selection process is performed in order to determine whether or not a rising combination can be completed when one heel is added to the current thirteen hand heel data as a temporary sword.

(Step S8)
It is necessary to check whether or not the bags selected in the process of step S7 are the four bags already disclosed in the game place at this time. The reason for this is that, based on the rules of mahjong game, four already-disclosed kites cannot be selected as a kite to be self-sufficient. In the current game place, means for checking whether or not four bags are disclosed can be realized by providing a program for performing the following (Process 1) to (Process 3), for example. In addition, the four symbols already disclosed are four symbols of the same symbol, such as the current manual data, the discards up to the present, and the symbol displayed as a table drum. Of these, the symbol of the kite is shown. Of these, for example, for the front drum, it may be set as appropriate, for example, a process that does not count as four symbols of the kite disclosed.

(Process 1)
The main control program P21 of the sub control board Kb sets a disclosure number table for counting the number of disclosures for each design code for each game in the RAM 42b.

(Process 2)
When the main control program P21 of the sub control board Kb receives the symbol codes of the 14 bags and the table code of the front table automatically distributed by the automatic layout program P5 from the main control board Ka, the player plays the game. A process of “+1” the storage area for counting the number of disclosures of the corresponding symbol code in this disclosure number table when the symbol code of the self-sufficiency is transmitted from the main control board Ka by launching the ball and performing the self-determination operation To do.

(Process 3)
The general rising role listening kite / rising kite judgment program P24a1-3 refers to the disclosed number table for the symbol code for which one symbol has been selected in the process of step S7, and the symbol code for the selected symbol has already been determined. It is determined whether or not four are disclosed. Then, for the four already disclosed symbol codes, the processing that is not selected as a self-contained trap, that is, the processing of steps S9 to S11 for determining whether or not to constitute a rising combination is not performed, and the disclosed number is A process of selecting 0 to 3 symbol codes as traps to be suppressed is performed.

(Step S9)
The symbol code of the bag selected in step S7 is added to the current 13 table data stored in the RAM 42b as a provisional table, and the 14 table data are rearranged in ascending order of the symbol code. Perform processing.

(Step S10) (Step S11) (Step S12)
In step S10, a process is performed to determine whether or not the hand data set to 14 in step S9 described above has completed the winning combination. This judgment is made up of a total of 4 combinations of “Konko” and “Junko”, and 1 combination of “Jampo”, except for “Seven Pairs” and “Kokushi Musou”. Therefore, it becomes possible by programming a procedure for checking the number of combinations of these combinations.

  Then, if the combination of “Konko” and “Junko” is 4 sets in total, and the combination of “Sparrow” is 1 set, it is determined that the rising role has been completed. The symbol code of the finished candy is stored in the RAM 42b (step S11).

  Subsequently, in step S12, it is checked whether or not all kinds of symbol codes that may constitute a winning combination have been selected. If any unselected vagina remains, the process returns to step S7. I do.

(Step S13)
As a result of the processing in step S11 and step S11a, it is checked whether or not the symbol code of “an octopus that will rise if self-existing” is stored in the RAM 42b. 19 is transmitted to the image control board Kd together with the control command, and the second display device 16 is controlled to display the symbol of the heel that will be “up if self-identified” as shown in FIG. When the process of step S13 is completed, the process of the general rising role listening / rising determination program P24a3 ends.

  When it is determined that the above 13 current hand-held data are not in the hearing state, the assist program P24 activates the target raising combination setting program P24b. The goal raising combination setting program P24b first sets a target raising combination for the current manual setting data, and then determines a habit to be self-recognized against this goal raising combination and assists the player. Control to perform.

  In the following, a procedure for the goal raising combination setting program P24b to set a target raising combination for the current trick data, and subsequently to determine a habit to self-recognize against this goal raising combination will be described.

(Procedure 15)
The goal-raising combination setting program P24b first sets the “Kunishi-Musou” or “Seven-pair” as the goal-raising role by operating the Kokushi-Musou-raising role judging program P24b1 or the seven-pair-raising role judging program P24b2. Whether or not is possible is determined. Then, the raising combination determined to be settable first is set as the raising combination targeted by the current manual data. Subsequently, a process of determining an appropriate habit to be self-restrained with respect to the goal-raising role is performed. The process of determining an appropriate bag to be self-resolved is performed by the self-determination determination program P24b1-1 when “Kokushi Musou” is set as the goal-raising role. Further, when “seven pairs” is set as the goal-raising role, the self-determination determination program P24b2-1 is performed.

(Procedure 16)
When “Kokushi Musou” or “Seven pairs” cannot be set as the goal-raising combination by the above (procedure 15), the goal-raising role setting program P24b operates the general raising role setting program P24b3. Then, processing for setting the target rising combination to “general rising combination” for the current manual data is performed. Subsequently, the general rising combination setting program P24b3 operates the self-determination determining program P24b3-1 to perform processing for determining a wrinkle to be added to the current thirteen manual data by self-operation.

  The determination method of whether or not the Kokushi Musou rising combination determination program P24b1 can set “Kokushi Musou” as a goal rising combination, and the seven-pair rising combination determination program P24b2 sets “Seven-pair” as a target rising combination The method for determining whether or not the above can be performed can be performed by referring to the goal increasing combination setting data table shown in FIG.

  Subsequently, when the target raising combination for the current manual data is set by the above (Procedure 15) to (Procedure 16), before performing the self-control operation of firing one game ball on this manual, A procedure for determining the design of the entrance to be aimed at for self-determination will be described.

(Procedure 17)
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 “Sparrow”. 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.

(Procedure 18)
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 symbol code of the kite that does not form the “pair” can be determined by the self-test determination program P24b2-1 as the kite to be identified. 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 .

(Procedure 19)
When the goal-raising combination is “general-raising combination”, the determination of the habit to be self-recognized can be performed as follows.
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”. Accordingly, the determination of the wrinkle that should be self-resolved in order to complete the “general rising combination” more reliably with the current 13 hand movement data is performed according to, for example, the following (Process 1) to (Process 2).

(Process 1)
FIG. 16 shows the status of the combination of the 14 hand data when the 13 hand data is temporarily converted into 14 hand data. Evaluate by score by referring to the combination score data table of 牌. The method for evaluating the manual data by the score can be performed by the same method as described above (procedure 9). At this time, the process of adding temporarily 13 symbols to the current 13 signature data in order of the symbol code one by one from the symbol code “1「 ”in the symbol code data table shown in FIG. . Further, the self-determination determining program P24b1 performs a process of not selecting the four previously disclosed wrinkles as temporary wrinkles.
Then, the provisional data which has been temporarily reduced to 14 pieces is summed up to obtain the total score of the evaluation points, and the symbol code and the total score of the evaluation points temporarily stored are stored in the RAM 42b.

(Process 2)
The above (Process 1) is sequentially performed for each of the 27 types of symbol codes of the cocoon to be provisionally self-contained. Then, the symbol code of the temporarily trapped kite that has the highest evaluation score of the above-described manual basket data stored in the RAM 42b is determined as the symbol of the kite to be trapped. 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.

(Procedure 20)
The assist program P24 is determined by any of the processes described in (Procedure 17), (Procedure 18), and (Procedure 19), and the symbol code of the heel to be stored stored in the RAM 42b together with the control command It transmits to the image control board Kc. When the self-displaying program P32c-1 of the first image control board Kc receives the symbol code of the bag to be suppressed, as shown in FIG. 21, the symbol of the bag to be suppressed is displayed on the second display device 16. 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.

  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 to enter the “listening state”, and the remaining game ball number display section 27 displays “1” or more. Is displayed, the player can reach by operating the reach button 21 before performing the operation of throwing away the bag. However, when it is not in the “listening state”, 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 portion 33 displays the symbol of the discarding jar 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 selection screen shown in FIG. 21 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. 21 is displayed by scrolling one symbol of the bag in the right direction or the left direction every time the player presses the right shift button 22a and 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. 21, it is preferable to display the four already-disclosed symbols darker than other symbols so that the player can identify them.

The self-candidate candidate selection screen shown in FIG. 21 can be displayed 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. 21 shows that a symbol code “one glance” 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 of 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-restraint candidate selection support program P42b-1 for the second image control board Kd scrolls the screen shown in FIG. 21 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 decision 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, In the screen example shown in FIG. 21, 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 means for clearly indicating the assist for assisting the player who should self-dispose to the player and the player who should discard the player will be described with reference to an example in which the first display device 10 displays the symbol of the player. However, the present invention includes employing 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 basket to be self-recognized, the self-display display program P32c-1 of the first image control board Kc is an LED or the like installed in the vicinity of the entrance corresponding to the design of the self-contained kite. The light emitting means is made to emit light so as to clearly indicate the entrance to be aimed at by the player.

  (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 executing one game, the player is allowed to select the game rising policy by, for example, the first display device 10 in an interactive manner. 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 manual data, before the player performs the discarding operation and the self-controlling operation, a goal rising combination corresponding to the selected game rising policy is set. Then, for the set goal-raising role, a process for determining a habit to be self-identified in the current manual data and a habit to be discarded from the current manual data is performed. Then, a process of displaying on the first display device 10 a symbol corresponding to the determined symbol code of the kite to be self-recognized and the kite to be discarded is performed.

  In addition, the above-mentioned “advanced aiming policy” is a game progression policy that is based on the shortest number of times of self-determination from the current manual data, that is, it is determined that the number of listening is the lowest. is there. 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.

  Then, the winning combination determination data for setting the target rising combination for setting the target rising combination for each of the game rising policies, and the current rising hand data should be determined for the target rising combination. In addition, a self-determination rule and a throw-away determination rule for determining a wrinkle to be discarded are appropriately set, and these data and determination rules are registered in the program. As a result, for the rising policy of the game selected by the player before executing one game, the target winning combination of this manual is set based on the current manual data, It is possible to assist the player with the traps that should be self-contained and those that should be discarded.

  In the sparrow ball game machine of the present invention, the assist means for the player is executed by installing an assist push button on the operation panel 3, and when the player presses the assist push button, the game machine operation control means is Further, the player may be controlled so as to assist the player with the heel to be self-contained and the heel to be discarded.
