This is a program for supporting the operation of arbitrarily selecting the symbol of the cocoon to be self-contained by the screen of the display device 10 and the interactive method.

  The game history data recording program P11 is a program for performing processing for storing history data of game results for each game executed on the day in the RAM 42a. The history data of the game results includes the number of times the game has been played on the current day and the number of times that the winning combination has been completed (total number of winnings), the number of times that the BB game role has been acquired on the same day, and the number of times that the CB game has been acquired. Similarly, the name of the winning combination and the number of medals to be paid out when winning the prize, the number of consecutive affairs, which is the number of games played from the previous winning prize to the next winning prize, and the game executed immediately before the game in the normal game When the game is completed, data relating to the number of consecutive consecutive winnings indicating the number of consecutive winnings is recorded.

  Of the game result history data described above, data such as the number of times the game has been executed and the number of times that the game has been executed, the number of consecutive consecutive winnings, the number of continuous affairs, etc. The image is transmitted to the first image control board Kc via the control board Kb.

  The score increase program P12 includes three subprograms: a score increase program P12a by special game, a score increase program P12b by drag, and a score increase program P12c by operation opening.

  The score increase program P12a by special game is performed when the player acquires the special game right and the player completes the rising role after the attacker operating port 12 is activated. The medal of the acquired medal number accompanying the winning set in the winning medal number medal table shown in FIG. In other words, when a player completes a winning combination in a game that has acquired special game rights, the number of medals earned for winning a prize excluding the increased number of medals by the drag and the increased number of medals by the operating slot, which will be described later, is doubled.

  Although not shown in FIG. 8, the score increase program P12b based on the dredger includes a score increase program based on the front drum and a score increase program based on the back drum.

  The score increase program by the table dora determines how many symbol codes of the table dora stored in the RAM 42a are included in the hand data completed in the rising combination stored in the RAM 42a. Is included, a process of increasing a predetermined number of medals, for example, three medals, for each front drum. Note that, as described above, in the front dora, at the start of one game, the symbol of one bag is determined by lottery by the dora lottery program P6.

  The score increase program by the back side drum determines how many back side symbol codes stored in the RAM 42a are included in the hand data that has completed the rising combination stored in the RAM 42a. Is included, a process of increasing a predetermined number of medals, for example, three medals, is performed for each back drum. Note that, as described above, the back dora is determined by lottery by the dora lottery program P6 at the start of one game, but the player's hand is in a listening state. When a person presses the reach button 21 to make a reach, it is displayed on the back-draft display portion 29 of the second display device 16 under the control of the main control program P1.

  The score increasing program P12c by the operating port is a signal that the game ball launched by the player enters the recovery port 111a or the like that has been determined to be valid as the score increasing means operating port by the processing of the score increasing operating port lottery program P7 described above. When the player completes the rising role in a game in which a game ball is inserted into the collection port 111a or the like as the activated score increase means operation port, the program is activated. Processing for increasing the number of medals with the number of acquired medals associated with the winning set in the winning combination medals number table shown in FIG. That is, when a player completes a rising role in a game in which a game ball is inserted into the collection port 111a or the like as an activated score increase means operation port, the number of medals increased by a special game and the number of medals increased by a dredger The number of medals earned with winnings excluding is doubled. In this embodiment, the example of doubling the number of acquired medals associated with winning a prize is adopted as the score increasing means, but this increased number of medals may be configured to be triple, quadruple, etc. You may comprise so that the setting of how many times it increases in this game may be determined by lottery. In this embodiment, the process by the score increase program P12c by an operation port becomes a score increase means.

(Program mounted on sub-control board Kb)
Next, the configuration of the program mounted on the ROM 41b of the sub control board Kb will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 11, the sub-control board Kb is mainly loaded with a program composed of a main control program P21, a lamp control program P22, and an assist program P23.

  Among these, the main control program P21 decodes various control commands and control data transmitted from the main control board Ka, executes the programs P22 and P23, and first and second image controls for each control command. Processing for controlling communication with the substrates Kc and Kd is performed. The main control program P21 includes a communication control program P21a for performing this communication.

  The lamp control program P22 is a program for controlling the lighting and extinguishing of the lamp devices 8 and 14 based on the control command and control data transmitted from the main control board Ka.

  The assist program P23 is a program for assisting the player in the progress of the game, and includes a goal-raising combination setting program P23a, a throwing away support program P23b, and a self-supporting support program P23c.

  The goal-raising combination setting program P23a is the player's current hand data stored in the RAM 42b, that is, the 13 hand data before the self-operating operation and the 14 hand-operating data before the discarding operation. This is a program for performing a process of determining the rising combination that is the target of the current procedure based on the procedure data.

  The process of determining the rising combination by the target rising combination setting program P23a can be performed as follows, for example. That is, the data for determining the winning combination by the winning determination program P8 of the main control board Ka described above is registered in advance as a data table in the ROM 41b of the sub control board Kb. Then, the goal raising combination setting program P23a refers to this table in the order of the raising combination shown in FIG. 10 and performs a process of setting the raising combination having the smallest number of listening as the target raising combination.

  The discarding support program P23b, when there are 14 current instructions, throws away from this instruction as a disposal before the player performs the operation of the disposal based on the instruction data stored in the RAM 42b. This is a program for assisting the player to determine the power and decide to discard the symbol. The symbol code and priority data of the kite determined by the discarded kite support program P23b are transmitted to the first image control board Kc, and the symbol is displayed on the first display device 10 as shown in FIG. .

The process of determining the symbol of the bag to be discarded by the discarded rod support program P23b can be performed as follows, for example.
When the above-mentioned goal-raising role is “Kokushi Musou”, it is determined that the symbol code other than Yaochu must be discarded. Next, discard one of the symbol codes that form the “knot” (including the same four ridges), and then one of the symbol codes that form two or more pairs. It is determined that it should be a trap.

  When the goal of the hand tile is “seven pairs”, it is determined that the symbol code of the kites that do not form “pairs” should be discarded. At this time, the priority order when there are a plurality of symbol codes of the kite that does not form the “pair” is, for example, that the symbol codes other than “1” and “9” of the numbers are given first priority, The symbol codes “1” and “9” of several characters are used, and then the symbol code of the character character “X”. The reason for this is that if you have left the character in the manual data, you have a higher probability of completing a rising combination that can earn more medals when you complete the rising pair of "Seven Pairs". .

  When the goal of the hand is a “general climbing role”, that is, a climbing role consisting of four sets of “face (junko or junko)” and one set of “sparrow head (opposite)” For example, “face (indicator, junko)” regarding the configuration of the design code of 13 hand-printed data when one design code is sequentially discarded from 14 hand-printed data. 4 points, “Toko (both towers)” 3 points, “Fitting tower”, “Pair” 2 points, “Side tower” 1 point, Isolated fence 0 points, etc. A process is performed in which the symbol code that has the largest total score of the individual pieces of hand data is set to be the first priority waste. Hereinafter, priorities are set in descending order of the total score. The reason for this is that, for the current manual data, the large total score indicates that the manual contains more combinations of “knot”, “junko”, and “toko”. .

  In the self-supporting support program P23c, when the current number of hands is 13, the player performs a self-control operation on the target upward combination determined by the above-described target upward combination setting program P23a. Before, it is a program for determining the symbol of self-restraint to be added to this procedure. The symbol code of the bag to be self-determined determined by the self-supporting program P23c is transmitted to the first image control board Kc, and the symbol is displayed on the first display device 10. FIG. 19 shows an example in which the symbols to be self-represented are displayed on the first display device 10 when the player has reached a reach.

The self-supporting program P23c can perform the process of determining the symbol of the heel to be self-contained as follows, for example.
From the goal-raising role of the hand before the self-restraint, there is a shortage of symbols for the combination of the symbols that make up the “sparrow head”, “knot”, “junko”, etc. judge. Then, it is possible to program a process for determining a symbol to be self-contained in accordance with this priority order by setting a priority to be self-contained for the insufficient symbol.

Programs translated into machine language programs that are executable programs are stored in the ROMs 41a to 41d of the control boards Ka, Kb, Kc, and Kd.

(Game progress control)
Next, a flow in which the game operation control program installed in the sparrow ball game machine 1 controls the progress of the game when the player executes the game will be described. FIG. 14 to FIG. 17 are flowcharts showing the control flow of the main control program P1 mounted on the main control board Ka for controlling and controlling the progress of the game. Hereinafter, based on FIG. 14 thru | or FIG. 17, the flow of control of 1 game is demonstrated in order of a step.

(Step S1)
First, the manager of the game hall turns on the power of the sparrow ball game machine 1 before starting business on that day. 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. At this time, “0” indicating a normal game is stored as an initial value in a special game flag described later. Subsequently, the main control program P1 transmits an initialization control command when the power is turned on to the sub-control board Kb, and the sub-control board Kb transmits this initialization control command to the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd. .

  When the sub control board Kb, the first and second image control boards Kc, Kd receive this initialization control command, the main control program mounted on each control board stores the storage areas of the RAM 42b, RAM 42c, RAM 42d. initialize. Further, the main control programs P31 and P41 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 the background or the character on the first and second display devices 10 and 16 is performed. As a result, the sparrow ball gaming machine 1 enters a state in which the game can be executed when the player inserts a predetermined number of medals per game into the medal slot 17.

(Step S2)
In order for a player to play a game, it is necessary to insert a predetermined number of game media, for example, three medals, into the medal slot 17 per game. When the medal insertion signal from the medal insertion sensor 17a is input to the main control board Ka, the main control program P1 activates the medal management program P2. The medal management program P2 performs processing for storing the number of inserted medals.

  When the main control program P1 determines that the number of medals necessary for the execution of one game has been inserted, the main control program P1 sends a control command for prompting the player to press the start button 18 via the sub-control board Kb. 1 to the image control board Kc. 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 first 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.

(Step S3)
When the player presses the game start button 18 and a game start signal is input to the main control board Ka, the main control program P1 sends a game start control command to the first and second control boards Kb via the sub control board Kb. It transmits to the second image control board Kc, Kd. Based on this control command, the game effect display programs P32a-2 and P42a-2 for the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd display the effect images at the start of the game on the first and second display devices 10, respectively. 16 and 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 1 starts.

(Step S4)
Subsequently, the main control program P1 performs a process of storing initial values in various storage areas set in the RAM 42a at the start of one game. For example, a predetermined number of “11” is stored as an initial value in an area (the remaining number storage area of game balls) that stores the number of game balls that can be fired by a player for self-control in one game. .

(Step S5)
Subsequently, the main control program P1 of the main control board Ka operates the automatic layout program P4 to perform a process of automatically determining 14 layout codes required for starting the game. The automatic layout program P4 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 symbol codes, ie, insulator, tube, cord, The process of rearranging in the order of wind and Sangen is performed and stored in the manual storage 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 distributed symbol codes, the main control program P21 stores the symbol codes in the RAM 42b, and stores the 14 distributed symbol codes in the second control code P21. Transmit to the image control board Kd. When the game effect display program P42a-2 on the second image control board Kd receives the 14 design codes, the game design display program P42a-2 displays the image of the design shown in FIG. The display process is performed on the hand display unit 34 and the self display unit 35 of the second display device 16.

(Step S6) (Step S7) (Step S8)
Subsequently, the main control program P1 of the main control board Ka operates the special gamer lottery program P5 (which is activated when a normal game is played), the dora lottery program P6, and the score increase operation port lottery program P7. The recovery port 111a that is activated as a score increasing means operating port for operating the score increase program P12c by the operating port, each of the rising roles from which the right of the BB game and the CB game can be acquired, the front and back drum symbol codes, and the operating port And the identification code of the recovery port 111a as the activated score increasing means operating port in the RAM 42a. The process to memorize is performed. Further, the main control program P1 sends the code of the winning combination that can acquire the special game right of the game and the symbol code of the front drum to the second image control board Kd via the sub control board Kb together with the control command. Process to send. The symbol code of the back side is transmitted to the second image control board Kd via the sub control board Kb under the control of the main control program P1 when the player presses the reach button 21.

  When the main control program P21 of the sub control board Kb receives the code of the rising combination determined as the BB game combination and the CB game combination of the game, and the front and back dra design codes from the main control board Ka, these codes are received. Processing to be stored in the RAM 42b is performed.

  Further, when the game effect display program P42a-2 of the second image control board Kd receives the code of the BB game combination and the rising combination of the CB game combination and the design code of the front and back dramas, as shown in FIG. The BB game combination and the CB game combination are displayed on the BB game combination display unit 31a and the CB game combination display unit 31b, respectively, and the front dora is displayed on the front dora display unit 28, and the design code of the back dora is stored in the RAM 42d. . Subsequently, the main control programs P31 and P41 of the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd display that the game start conditions are ready on the first and second display devices 10 and 16, and the speakers. 6 is controlled so as to perform the process of notifying by voice.

  Note that the symbol corresponding to the symbol code of the back side received by the second image control board Kd and stored in the RAM 42d has a control command indicating that the reach has been applied from the main control board Ka via the sub control board Kb. When the image is transmitted to the second image control board Kd, the game effect display program P42b-2 of the second image control board Kd displays it on the back-dora display unit 29.

(Step S9)
The main control program P1 performs processing for checking the data stored in the special game flag set in the RAM 42a. If "0" is stored in the special game flag, the process proceeds to step S10. If "1" is stored, the process proceeds to step S50 shown in FIG.

In the special game flag, “0” is stored when the game to be executed is a normal game, and “1” is stored when the game has acquired the right of the BB game described later.
(Step S10)

  The main control program P1 operates the winning determination program P8 to determine whether or not the 14 hand data automatically distributed and stored in the RAM 42a have already completed the winning combination. If it is determined in step S10 that the value is raised, the process proceeds to step S30 shown in FIG. On the other hand, if it is determined that it has not increased, the main control program P1 transmits a control command for discarding assistance to the sub-control board Kb, and proceeds to step S11.

  When the main control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb receives this throwing assist control command, it activates the target raising combination setting program P23a of the assist program P23 and performs the current 14 procedures stored in the RAM 42b. A process for setting the target rising combination for the data is performed.

  Subsequently, the discard control program P23b for the sub-control board Kb should be discarded from the 14 procedures for the target increase combination of the current manual data set by the target increase combination setting program P23a. The process which determines is performed.

  Then, when the heel to be discarded is determined, the symbol code is transmitted to the first image control board Kc together with the trash assist control command. When the first image control board Kc receives the symbol code of the bag to be discarded, the first image control board Kc activates the discarded symbol display program P32c-2, and the symbol of the symbol code as shown in FIG. The process which displays on the 1st display apparatus 10 as a symbol which should be performed is performed.

(Step S11)
In step S11, under the control of the main control program P1, the player waits for an input as to whether or not one of the discard button switches 19a, 19b,. That is, it is set in a waiting state until the discarding operation is performed.

  Note that when the player performs a throwing-in operation and the hand is in a hearing state, and there are one or more remaining game balls, the reach button 21 is operated before the unnecessary throwing-out operation is performed. Then, when the reach is applied and the kite that has been self-sufficient in the next self-operation does not complete the role, the self-control is automatically performed by the main control program P1 without pressing the throw-away button switch 19a or the like. Abandonment processing is performed.

(Step S12)
When the player performs a throwing-in operation and a throwing-in signal is input from any of the throwing button switches 19a, etc., the main control program P1 analyzes the input signal, and the player selects The process which determines the symbol code of the symbol which performed is performed. Next, the main control program P1 performs a process of deleting the symbol code of the discarded bag from the hand data stored in the hand memory area of the RAM 42a.

  On the other hand, when the sub control board Kb receives 13 pieces of manual data from the main control board Ka, the target raising combination setting program P23a is operated by the control of the main control program P21 of the sub control board Kb. A process for setting a goal-raising role for each hand is performed. Subsequently, the self-supporting support program P23c is operated to perform a process of determining an appropriate design of the self-contained to be self-contained with respect to this goal-raising combination. Then, the symbol code of the bag to be self-determined determined by the self-supporting program P23c is transmitted to the first image control board Kc by the main control program P21.

  When the first image control board Kc receives the symbol code of the bag to be self-recognized from the sub-control board Kb, the first image control board Kc operates the self-display display program P32c-1 and sets the symbol of the symbol code as the bag to be self-recognized. As shown in FIG. 19, a process for displaying on the first display device 10 is performed. The player can recognize in advance the entrance to enter the game ball by the next self-operation by looking at the design of the self-contained base displayed on the first display device 10. It becomes like this.

(Step S13)
Step S13 is a state of waiting until the player performs a self-restraint operation, that is, the main control program P1 causes the player to operate the game ball launch lever 4 to fire one game ball. Enters a ball entrance 13a or the like and waits until a ball signal is input from the ball sensor. When the main control program P1 receives a game ball entry signal from an entry sensor such as the collection port 111a that has been validated as the score increase means operation port, the main control program P1 sets “1” in the area for storing the operation port valid flag in the RAM 42a. Is stored.

(Step S14)
The main control program P1 activates the game ball remaining number counting program P1c and stores it in the storage area of the RAM 42a when a ball entering signal is input from a ball entering sensor such as the ball entrance 13a into which the game ball has entered. A process of subtracting one remaining game ball is performed.

(Step S15)
Subsequently, the main control program P1 performs a process of analyzing the incoming signal of the above-described game ball and obtaining a symbol code of the bag such as the entrance 13a into which the game ball has entered. Then, this symbol code is transmitted to the second image control substrate Kd via the sub-control substrate Kb as a symbol symbol of the bag that the player has refrained from. Next, the main control program P1 performs a process of adding the symbol code that is manually operated by the player to the 13 pieces of manual data stored in the manual storage area of the RAM 42a. In addition, when the second image control board Kd receives the symbol code of the kite that the player has refrained from, the game effect display program P42a-2 displays the symbol corresponding to the symbol code of the kite that has been refrained by the self-display unit 35. Process to be displayed.

(Step S16)
In this step S16, similarly to the above-described step S10, the winning determination program P8 performs a process of determining whether or not the 14 handbook data has completed the winning combination. If it is determined that the winning combination has been completed, the process proceeds to step S30 shown in FIG. On the other hand, if it is determined that the rising combination has not been completed, the process proceeds to the next step S17.

(Step S17)
The main control program P1 performs a process of determining whether or not the player can further perform a self-control operation, that is, whether or not one or more playable game balls stored in the RAM 42a remain. If one or more game balls remain as a result of this determination, the process returns to step S11. On the other hand, if the number of game balls that can be fired is zero, the game ends as a fluency and the process proceeds to the next step S18.

(Step S18)
The game history data recording program P11 performs processing for adding the history data of the game executed by the player this time to the history data area of the RAM 42a and for updating the history data. The game result history data stored in the RAM 42a is the data item described in the processing contents of the game history data recording program P11.

(Step S19)
In step S19, since the game could not be lifted even if one game was completed, that is, a self-control operation corresponding to the specified number of game balls was performed, processing for the current station is performed. As this process, for example, an initialization process is performed in which initial data is stored in a data area such as the number of times of self-repression after reach, the number of remaining game balls, the reach flag, and the operation port valid flag set in the RAM 42a. Further, a process of transmitting a game end control command to the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd via the sub-control board Kb is performed. When the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd receive the game end control command, the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd perform a process of displaying the fact on the first and second display devices 10 and 16.

(Step S30)
The main control program P1 operates the winning determination program P8 to determine what rising combination the hand data has completed, and stores the rising combination code in the RAM 42a.

(Step S31)
In the main control program P1, the code of the rising combination completed by the player is the target of the BB game combination or CB game combination that is the special gaming combination determined by the special gaming combination lottery program P5 at the start of the game. The process of determining whether or not the code matches is performed. As a result of the determination, if the code matches the code of the rising combination that is the target of the BB game combination or CB game combination, the process proceeds to step S41. On the other hand, if the rising combination is not a rising combination that can acquire the right of the BB game or the CB game, the process proceeds to step S32.

(Step S41)
In step S41, a process of determining whether or not the special game combination completed by the player is a CB game combination is performed. If the result of this determination is that it matches the code of the winning combination that can acquire the right of the CB game, the process proceeds to step S70 in FIG. On the other hand, if the rising combination is not a rising combination that can acquire the right of the CB game, the process proceeds to step S42.

(Step S42)
In step S42, since the rising combination completed by the player is a rising combination that can acquire the right of the BB game, "1" is stored in the special game flag set in the RAM 42a, and the process proceeds to step S32. The process of step S42 is a preprocess for causing the next game progress control to proceed in the BB game mode.

(Step S32)
First, the main control program P1 transmits a control command for performing the effect display of the rising combination completion to the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd. When this control command is received, the first image control board Kc displays an effect indicating that the winning combination is completed on the first display device 10 by the game effect display program P32a-2 or the right acquisition effect display program P32b-1. Similarly, the second image control board Kd performs an effect display of the completed combination on the second display device 16 by the game effect display program P42a-2.

  Next, with reference to the winning medal number medal number table shown in FIG. 10, the number of winning medals corresponding to the code of the rising combination completed by the player, that is, the winning that the player can win for this rising combination. A process for obtaining the number of acquired medals (M) associated with is performed.

  Subsequently, in steps S33 to S37, the rising condition when the player completes the rising combination is determined, and the player further increases the number of medals to the number of acquired medals (M) associated with the winning. A process of determining whether or not it can be acquired is performed. When it is determined that the increased medal number can be acquired, a process for obtaining the increased medal number is performed. Thus, the player can further acquire this increased medal number based on the acquired medal number (M) accompanying the winning and the rising condition when the rising combination is completed.

(Step S33)
In step S33, as a rising condition when the rising combination is completed, if the scoring device is increased by the special game, that is, if the rising combination is completed by the special game after the attacker operating port 12 is activated, the special game The increased medal number (a) corresponding to the winning combination code is obtained by the score increasing program P12a according to the above, and the increased medal number (a) is stored in the RAM 42a.

(Step S34)
In step S34, as a rising condition when the rising combination is completed, a scoring device using a drager, that is, a hand that completes the rising combination, a table dora and a hand when the player is reaching. If the back drum is included in the bag, the increased medal number (b) corresponding to the number of the front and back drums is obtained, and the increased medal number (b) is stored in the RAM 42a.

  In this step S34, the main control program P1 operates the score increase program P12b by dragging. Then, the score increase program P12b by the drager first determines the number of symbol codes of the front drum included in the manual data that has completed the ascent stored in the RAM 42a, and stores the number in the RAM 42a. .

  Next, the setting contents of the reach flag set in the RAM 42a are checked. As a result, when “1” is stored, the player was reaching, so the number of symbol codes of the back dora included in the hand data that completed the rising hand was determined, and the number was determined. Processing to be stored in the RAM 42a is performed. Then, the total number of the front and back drums is obtained, and the number of medals to be increased for each one of the front and back drums, for example, three, is multiplied to obtain the increased number of medals (b) by the dredger. be able to.

  The process of determining the number of drags included in the hand data by the above-described score increase program P12b by the drag is based on the design code of the front and back drums of the game stored in the RAM 42a. This can be done by sequentially determining whether or not it is included in the manual data composed of 14 completed symbol codes.

(Step S35)
In step S35, as a rising condition when the rising combination is completed, the score increasing means by the score increasing means operating port, that is, the collection port activated as the score increasing means operating port in the game where the rising combination is completed is played in the game. When a ball is inserted, the increased medal number (c) corresponding to the code of the rising combination is obtained by the score increasing program P12c by the operation port, and the increased medal number (c) is stored in the RAM 42a.

(Step S36)
The main control program P1 performs a process for obtaining the total number (S) of medals that can be acquired by the player completing the rising combination. The total number of medals (S) is (the number of medals acquired with winning a prize (M) + the number of medals increased by special game (a) + the number of medals increased by a dredger (b) + the number of medals increased by an operating slot (c)) become. The calculated total number of medals (S) is stored in the RAM 42a.

(Step S37)
The main control program P1 on the main control board Ka includes a control command for completing the rising combination, a code for the rising combination, a total number of medals (S) acquired by the player, a breakdown of the number of winning medals (M), and an increased number of medals. The data regarding is transmitted to the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd via the sub-control board Kb. When the game effect display programs P32a-2 and P42a-2 of the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd receive these pieces of information, they are displayed on the first and second display devices 10 and 16 to complete the winning combination. Display.

(Step S38)
The main control program P1 operates the medal discharge control program P9 to perform a process of paying out the total medal count (S) from the medal payout device to the player.

(Step S39) (Step S40)
The main control program P1 operates the game history data recording program P11 to perform processing for adding and updating the history data of the game executed by the player this time in the history data storage area of the RAM 42a (step S39). . Subsequently, a game end process (step S40) is performed in the same manner as in step S19, and control is returned to step S2.

(Step S50)
FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the progress process of the game that acquired the right of the BB game. Since the player is executing a game that has acquired the right of the BB game, the main control program P1 determines the stored content of the special game flag set in the RAM 42a. If “1” is stored in the special game flag, the game is a game in which the right of the BB game has been acquired. Therefore, the main control program P1 activates the attacker operation port 12 and proceeds to step S51.

(Step S51)
In step S51, the progress control of the game that acquired the right of the BB game is performed. The control of the game progress is a flow from step S2 to step S16 excluding the above-described step S6. However, the self-control operation in step S13 is an operation advantageous to the player as follows.

  In other words, in the next game in which the player has acquired the right to the BB game, after 14 hands have been determined, the attacker operation port 12 of the game board 2 is made effective by the process of step S50. Then, when the game ball launched by the player passes through the attacker operating port 12, the attacker 11 opens. Then, every time a game ball enters the attacker 11, the heel selection right shift button 22 a, the heel selection left shift button 22 b, and the selection decision button 23 are selected from the 27 types of heel symbols displayed on the first display device 10. By this operation, a desired bag can be selected as a lock. If the player has a sufficient number of remaining game balls, the player can perform a self-tapping operation aiming at a general entrance 13a or the like without using the attacker 11, and can proceed with the procedure. Then, when the player completes the rising combination, the process proceeds to step S52, and when the player becomes a master station, the process proceeds to step S58.

(Step S52)
If the game that has acquired the right of the BB game is continued and raised, the game that has acquired the right of the BB game can be continued up to a preset upper limit number of times, for example, 14 times. In step S52, “1” is added to the area for counting the number of BB game continuations set in the RAM 42a.

(Step S53) to (Step S56)
The processing content of steps S53 to S56 is the same as the processing of steps S30 to S38 excluding the above-described step S31.

(Step S57) to (Step S59)
It is determined whether or not the number of continuations of the player's BB game is equal to a preset upper limit number (step S57). This determination is performed by comparing the number of BB game continuations counted in step S52 and stored in the RAM 42a with the upper limit number stored in advance in the ROM 41a, for example, “14”. If the BB game continuation count is equal to the upper limit count, the process proceeds to step S58. In step S58, as a BB game end process, a process of storing “0” in the special game flag is performed, and the process proceeds to step S59. On the other hand, if it is not equal to the upper limit number of times, the process proceeds to step S59, in which the history data of the game executed by the player is added to the history data storage area of the RAM 42a and recorded, and the history data is updated. Do.

(Step S70)
FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the progress process of the game that has acquired the right of the CB game. When the player completes the winning combination of the CB game combination, in step S70, the remaining game ball count program P1c on the main control board Ka is operated to determine whether or not the remaining number of game balls is zero. Do. As a result of the determination, if it is determined that the remaining number of game balls is 0, the process proceeds to step S32. At this time, when the operating condition of the score increase program P12a by special game is set to “CB game combination is established”, the score increase program P12a by special game is operated and the number of medals (a ) (Step S33 of FIG. 15) is performed, but the operating condition of the score increase program P12a by special game is “After the CB game combination is established, the game ball is passed through the attacker operating port and the attacker is opened. "Or" Opening the attacker and letting the game ball enter the attacker "is set to expire the CB game right of the game. If it is determined that the remaining number of game balls is not 0, the process proceeds to step S71.

(Step S71)
In step S71, processing for determining whether or not the player has performed an operation for ending the game (such as pressing operation of the game end button 24, the medal payout button 25, or the game start button 18) is performed. As a result of this determination, if it is determined that the player has performed some operation to end the game, the process proceeds to step S32. Also in this step S71, as in the above step S70, when the operating condition of the special game scoring increase program P12a is set to “a CB game combination is established”, the special game scoring increase program P12a operates. Thus, the process for obtaining the number of medals (a) by the special game (step S33 in FIG. 15) is performed. The operating condition of the score increase program P12a by the special game is “After the CB game combination is established, the game ball is attacked. If it is set to “pass the mouth and open the attacker” or “open the attacker and allow the game ball to enter the attacker”, the right of the CB game of the game expires. If it is determined that the player has not performed an operation to end the game, the process proceeds to step S72.

(Step S72)
In step S72, the same processing as in step S11 of FIG. 14 described above is performed.

(Step S73)
When the player performs a throwing-in operation and a throwing-in signal is input from any of the throwing button switches 19a and the like, the attacker operating port 12 is validated by the processing of the main control program P1, and the process proceeds to step S74. move on.

(Step S74) to (Step S78)
In steps S74 to S78, the same processing as in steps S12 to S16 of FIG. 14 is performed, and if it is determined in step S78 that 14 hands are completed and the winning combination is completed, the process proceeds to step S79. . If it is determined in step S78 that the 14 hands have not been raised and the combination has not been completed, the process proceeds to step S80.

(Step S79)
In step S79, a process for determining a rising combination completed by the player is performed, and the process proceeds to step S32 in FIG.

(Step S80)
In this step S80, it is determined whether or not the remaining number of game balls is 0. If the remaining number of game balls is 0, the process proceeds to step S81, and the remaining number of game balls is not 0. Returns to step S72.

(Step S81) (Step S82)
The main control program P1 operates the game history data recording program P11 to perform processing for adding and updating the history data of the game executed by the player this time in the history data storage area of the RAM 42a (step S81). . Subsequently, similarly to step S19, a game end process (step S82) is performed, and control is returned to step S2.

  The game control program installed in the sparrow ball game machine 1 according to the present invention executes the steps described above to control the progress of one game.

  Next, another embodiment of the process in which the sparrow ball game machine 1 according to the present invention determines the collection port 111a or the like as the score increasing means operation port will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 18 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of processing in another embodiment of the sparrow ball game machine 1 according to the present invention.

  In this embodiment, the score increasing program P12c by the operation port is configured to operate when the player's throwing operation is in a hearing state when the player performs a throwing-in operation. In this embodiment, the processes in steps S1 to S11 in FIG. 14 except for step S8 and the processes in steps S12 to S19 after the processes in steps shown in FIG. 18 are the same as those in the above-described embodiment. .

(Step S111)
In step S11 of FIG. 14, when the player performs a throwing-in operation and a throwing-in signal is input from any of the throwing button switches 19a, the main control program P1 activates the winning determination program P8. Then, a process is performed to determine whether or not the thirteen thrown hand manipulations are in a hearing state. In the process of step S111, if it is determined that the user is listening, the process proceeds to step S112. If it is determined that the user is not listening, the process proceeds to step S12 in FIG.

(Step S112)
In step S112, a process is performed to determine whether or not the recovery port 111a or the like to be activated as the score increasing means operating port has already been determined in the current game. If it is determined that the recovery port 111a or the like to be validated as the score increasing means operating port has not been determined, the process proceeds to step S113, and the recovery port 111a or the like to be validated as the score increasing means operating port has already been determined. If it is determined, the process proceeds to step S12 in FIG.

(Step S113)
In this step S113, the main control program P1 of the main control board Ka operates the score increase operation port lottery program P7 to activate the score increase means operation port for operating the score increase program P12c by the operation port, and the recovery port to be activated. 111a and the like are determined, a process of storing the identification code of the recovery port 111a as the activated score increasing means operating port in the RAM 42a is performed, and the process proceeds to step S12 in FIG.

  With this configuration, when the player completes the rising role by putting the game ball into the collection port 111a or the like that has been activated as the score increase means operation port by the self-operation after listening, It is possible to configure the sparrow ball game machine 1 having a specification capable of acquiring an increased number of medals by the score increase program P12c, and to expand the range of game characteristics.

  After the player listens once and determines the recovery port 111a and the like to be activated as the score increasing means operating port for operating the score increasing program P12c by the operating port by the score increasing operating port lottery program P7, the listening state is changed. When a throwing-away operation or the like is performed by breaking down (returning to the one-way listening state), the recovery port 111a first determined as the recovery port 111a or the like to be activated as the score increasing means operation port is used as the effective operation port in the game. The recovery port 111a, etc., which is activated as a score increasing means operating port for operating the score increasing program P12c by the operating port again when the player places the arrangement again in the hearing state, is re-established. You may comprise so that it may determine.

  As described above, according to the sparrow ball game machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the score increasing means for increasing the number of game media to be paid out set for each rising combination (score by the operation port) An increase program P12c), a part or all of the entrance 13c is formed as a passage through which a game ball can pass, and a score increasing means is provided in the lower part 2b of the entrance 13c formed as the passage Since the score increasing means operating port to be operated (recovery port 111a determined by the score increasing operating port lottery program P7) is arranged, when the player completes the rising role, the game ball is scored means operating port By entering the ball, the score increasing means is activated, and the number of game media to be paid out set in the completed rising combination is increased (for example, doubled) to pay out the game media. Therefore, it is possible to increase the opportunity for operating the score increasing means, and it is possible to increase the interest of the player in the game.

  Further, a part or all of the entrance 13c is formed as a passage through which the game ball can pass, and the score increase means is operated to operate the score increase means at the lower part 2b of the entrance 13c formed as the passage. Since the mouth is provided, the area of the lower portion 2b such as the entrance 13c that has not been used as a game area can be used as a game area, and the game area of the game board can be expanded to increase the game performance. Can be improved.

  The present invention is not limited to the sparrow ball game machine simulating the mahjong game described above, but is also a combination game machine simulating a playing card game or a Hanafuda game, or a combination game simulating a six-game game by placing a spear eye at the entrance. It can also be applied to machines.
