Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine information display system for displaying information on gaming machines such as pachinko gaming machines installed in a gaming hall.

  In recent years, in amusement halls where a large number of gaming machines such as pachinko machines are installed, it is not preferable that a player exists in the amusement hall after the closing time (for example, 11:00 pm), contrary to public order and morals. From a viewpoint, a game end time (for example, 10:30 pm) that is a predetermined time earlier than the closing time is provided, and the player's game is stopped at the game end time, and after the game such as prize exchange work within the remaining time By performing the work, the player is prevented from remaining in the amusement hall after the closing time.

  In this case, a player who is playing a gaming machine or the like that is in a gaming state advantageous to the player (for example, the probability is being changed) is close to the game end time, even if the game end time has passed, It is difficult for all players to voluntarily stop the game with the game end time, so it is difficult for all players to stop the game end time at the current game hall. At this point, it is confirmed whether there is a player who continues the game (hereinafter also referred to as a malicious player), and the player who continues the game is stopped.

  However, since a large number of players end the game at the game end time, the store clerk performs a prize exchange operation (an operation for counting game media with a game media counter, etc., and an operation for exchanging game media and prizes). For example, it takes a lot of time to check the player who is continuing the game at the time when the game end time has passed. That is, the operation of confirming the player who continues the game when the game end time has passed increases the work of the store clerk, and sometimes the confirmation operation is delayed. . And if the confirmation work is delayed in this way, the player may generate a big hit after the game end time has passed. In this case, the player is concerned about handling such a big hit. There was a risk that trouble would occur between the shop staff.

Therefore, in order to eliminate such inconvenience, a technology for forcibly switching the gaming machine to an inoperable state (for example, refer to Patent Document 1, hereinafter referred to as the prior art) at the closing time is adopted, and the burden on the store clerk is reduced. It may be possible to alleviate and prevent the above troubles.

In the state, the winning probability is increased, the variation time of the normal symbol is shortened, the opening time of the start winning opening 51 is extended, and the variation time of the special symbol (slot game execution time) is shortened. . Therefore, when the game state is in a short time state, pachinko balls are frequently won in the start winning opening 51 and a lot of slot games are digested in a short time, that is, the number of starts is increased. The chance to win a big hit without reducing balls is increased. That is, the short time state is a gaming state advantageous for the player.

  On the other hand, if a big hit with a specific big win symbol, after the big hit game is over, until the next big hit comes (depending on the model, until the predetermined number of times is set in advance), the probability variation state, In this probability variation state, the jackpot probability is increased (high probability) in addition to the short-time state. Therefore, when the gaming state is in the probability variation state, the player can acquire the next jackpot almost certainly in a short time without reducing the possession. That is, the probability variation state is a gaming state that is extremely advantageous for the player.

Then, the CPU 153 proceeds to step S106, and here, as shown in FIG. 16, as in the upper lamp unit 126, all the lamps of the group A and the group B are simultaneously turned on in green. When this game end signal is input, the green of the upper ramp 126, the island edge lamp 15, the island top lamp 16, the island lamp 17, the island lamp 18, the island lamp 19, and the island bottom lamp 20 is green. Lighting is given the highest priority. That is, when the game end time set by the game hall arrives and the game end button 180 is turned on, a green lamp display is executed on the entire game hall.

  Then, the CPU 153 proceeds to step S108 and performs a setting to display a message prompting the player to end the game, such as “Please end the game” on the data display unit 130. When the processing of step S108 is completed, the CPU 153 proceeds to step S110, and sets the grace period T1 in a predetermined area of the RAM 155, similarly to the above-described hole management computer 95 (step S36 in FIG. 11). . The grace period T1 is stored in advance in the storage device of the calling lamp 9 such as the ROM 154 or the EEPROM 156.

  When the grace time T1 is set, the CPU 153 proceeds to step S112 and determines whether or not the grace time T1 set here has elapsed. If the CPU 153 determines NO in step S112, that is, determines that the set grace time T1 has not elapsed, the CPU 153 ends the game end signal input process, while YES in step S112. In other words, if it is determined that the set grace period T1 has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S114.

  In step S114, the CPU 153 determines whether or not an out ball signal is input from the out ball counting box 40 (ball counter 45). If the CPU 153 determines NO in step S114, that is, if the pachinko gaming machine 2 is not in operation after the grace time T1 has elapsed and it is determined that the pachinko gaming machine 2 is not operating, this game end signal input The process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined YES in step S114, that is, if it is determined that there is an input of an out ball signal after the grace time T1 has elapsed and the pachinko gaming machine 2 is operating, the process proceeds to step S116, and the CPU 153 Here, as shown in FIG. 16, the upper lamp part 126 is made to blink red. That is, when the game end button 180 is turned ON and the pachinko gaming machine 2 is operating even after the grace time T1 has elapsed from the game end time, the upper part of the calling lamp 9 corresponding to the pachinko gaming machine 2 The lamp unit 126 is switched from green lighting to red flashing.

  Then, the CPU 153 proceeds to Step S118, and among the lamps of the group A and the group B, the lamps interlocked with the calling lamp 9 that blinks red in Step S116 are shown in FIG. In the same manner as in the upper lamp unit 126, the red blinking is performed. That is, when the game end button 180 is turned ON and the pachinko gaming machine 2 is operating even after the grace time T1 has elapsed from the game end time, the call lamp 9 corresponding to the pachinko gaming machine 2 is linked. The island edge lamp 15, the island top lamp 16, the island top lamp 17, the island middle lamp 18, the island bottom lamp 19 or the island bottom lamp 20 are switched from green lighting to red flashing. Then, the CPU 153 proceeds to Step S120, and displays a message to warn the player about the end of the game such as “Warning! Please end the game” on the data display unit 130 of the corresponding calling lamp 9. Perform the settings to be performed. Then, when the process of step S108 is completed, the CPU 153 ends the game end signal input process.

  As is apparent from the above description, in the gaming machine information display system of the present embodiment, a game end button 180 is provided, and when the game end time set by the game hall is reached, the game end button 180 is turned ON. The calling lamp 9 (upper lamp section 126), the island edge lamp 15, the island top lamp 16, the island top lamp 17, the island middle lamp 18, the island bottom lamp 19, and the island bottom lamp 20 are lit / flashed in a predetermined manner. Since the pachinko gaming machine 2 in which the game by the player continues even after the game end time has passed, that is, the pachinko gaming machine 2 that is still running even after the game end time has passed, The store clerk of the game hall can easily confirm the player who is continuing the game even after the game end time has elapsed, and can stop such a player from continuing the game.

  As a result, it is possible to reduce the work load on the store clerk during extremely busy closing hours. Furthermore, since the pachinko gaming machine 2 that has been operating even after the game end time has elapsed is displayed on the display 191 of the hall management computer 95, wireless communication or the like can be performed from the place where the hall management computer 95 is installed. It can be used to inform the store clerk. Also, as described above, the game end time can be set by turning ON the game end button 180, so that the game hall can set the desired game end time very easily. .

  Further, in the gaming machine information display system of the present embodiment, after the game end button 180 is turned on, the pachinko gaming machine 2 that is operating is not immediately notified even after the game end time has passed, and the grace time T1 Is provided so that only the pachinko gaming machine 2 that is operating even after the grace time T1 has elapsed is notified. In this case, during the grace period T1, the calling lamp 9 (upper lamp portion 126), the island edge lamp 15, the island top lamp 16, the island top lamp 17, the island lamp 18, the island lamp 19, and the island bottom lamp. 20 is all lit in green, and a message is displayed to prompt the player to end the game. When this grace period T1 has elapsed, only the lamp corresponding to the pachinko gaming machine 2 that is operating thereafter is red. In addition to switching to flashing, a message to warn the player of the end of the game is displayed.

  As a result, the player recognizes that the game end time has arrived when the green lamp is lit on the entire amusement hall, and further confirms a message that prompts the end of the game. The game will be stopped. In addition, by switching to blinking red and displaying a message to warn of the end of the game, a malicious player who ignores the rule, or a gaming state in which the gaming state is advantageous to the player (for example, probability fluctuation) Even a player who is in a state or a short-time state voluntarily stops the game at this point. That is, according to the gaming machine information display system of the present embodiment, the player voluntarily stops the game when the game end time comes, and as a result, the game that continues the game even after the game end time has passed. As the number of players decreases dramatically, the game hall forcibly stops the game from being continued by the player, and the service of the game hall can be improved.

  Furthermore, in the gaming machine information display system of the present embodiment, a grace period T1 is provided, and the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 2 after the gaming end time has elapsed is detected by the occurrence of an out ball (and the out ball is It can be detected one by one). As a result, for example, as an effect of the grace period T1, pachinko balls fired on the game board surface before the game end time wins the start winning opening 51 over a long time, and the special symbol display device 56 is activated. Can be excluded from the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 2 after the game end time has elapsed. Further, as an effect of detection due to the occurrence of an out ball, a predetermined number of the hold LEDs 55 and the hold LEDs 66 are lit before the game end time, and the special symbol display device 56 and the normal symbol display device 68 are activated in response to the hold LED 55 and the hold LED 66 being turned on Can be excluded from the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 2 after the game end time has elapsed. That is, according to the gaming machine information display system of the present embodiment, it is excluded that a good-willed player stops the game from continuing as the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 2 after the game end time has elapsed. As a result, it is possible to surely stop only the malicious player from continuing the game, improve the player's identification, and improve the image of the game hall.

  That is, according to the gaming machine information display system of the present embodiment, the store clerk can easily confirm the player who is continuing the game at the time when the game end time has passed, and when the game end time is reached, the player It is extremely remarkable that it is possible to stop the game in an effective manner, thereby reducing the work load of the store clerk and improving the game hall service, while preventing the player from remaining in the game hall after the closing time. There is an effect.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention has been described based on drawing, a concrete structure is not limited to what was shown in embodiment, The change and addition in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention Are included in the present invention. For example, in the present embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 2 has been described as an example, but the gaming machine information display system of the present invention is applicable even to a slot machine that uses medals.

  In addition, for example, the grace period T1 may be set appropriately. In this case, it is preferable that the grace time T1 can be set and changed on the hall management computer 95, and the grace time T1 whose setting has been changed is input to the calling lamp 9 all at once. Further, in this embodiment, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 2 after the game end time has elapsed is detected by the occurrence of an out ball, but instead of this, the occurrence of a safe ball, the generation of a start signal, You may make it detect with the operation data of the other pachinko gaming machine 2. For example, in the case of detecting by the generation of the start signal, as shown in FIG. 17, in place of steps S110 to S114 of FIG. 15 (game signal input process) described above, the processes of steps S210 and S212 are performed. (It should be noted that the processing in step S210 and step S212 in FIG. 17 may be executed in the same manner instead of step S36 to step S40 in FIG. 11, but the description thereof is omitted here).

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing a game signal input process of another embodiment executed by the control board 150 of the calling lamp 9. When proceeding to step S210, the CPU 153 sets the start count S1 in a predetermined area of the RAM 155 instead of the above-described grace period T1. The start number S1 is stored in advance in the storage device of the calling lamp 9 such as the ROM 154 or the EEPROM 156, and is set to, for example, four times. When the start number S1 is set, the CPU 153 proceeds to step S212, where a start signal is input by the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 2 (operation of the special symbol display device 56), and the start signal of the input It is determined whether the number of times has exceeded the set start number S1. That is, this determination is made based on the number of start signals input from the pachinko gaming machine 2 after the game end time when the game end button 180 is turned ON. If the CPU 153 determines NO in step S212, that is, if it is determined that the set number of start times S1 has not been exceeded, the game end signal input process is terminated, while YES is determined in step S212. In other words, if it is determined that the set number of start times S1 has been exceeded, the process proceeds to step S116.

  That is, in the game signal input process in FIG. 17, a predetermined start number S1 is set instead of the grace time T1, and when the set start number S1 is exceeded after the game end time has elapsed, the pachinko gaming machine 2 It is determined that the game by the player is continued even after the end time. Here, for example, the number of start times S1 is set to 4 times. The pachinko gaming machine 2 of the present embodiment has four hold LEDs 55, that is, the number of hold LEDs 55 is generally four, which is a pachinko ball. It means that the maximum of the reserved memory of 4 times. Accordingly, if there are four hold memories at the time of the game end time, even if the player quits the game after the game end time elapses, the special symbol scroll display by the special symbol display device 56 is executed up to four times. Will be.

  Therefore, if this start count S1 is set to 4 times and this is exceeded, that is, if the fifth start occurs after the game end time has elapsed, the player of the pachinko gaming machine 2 will be based on this On the other hand, it is only necessary to stop the game from continuing because the pachinko gaming machine 2 is in operation after the game end time has elapsed. In this way, it is possible to exclude a good-willed player from stopping the continuation of the game as the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 2 after the game end time has elapsed. Similarly, it is possible to surely stop only the malicious player from continuing the game. The setting of the start number S1 may be stored in advance in the storage device of the calling lamp 9 in accordance with the model of the pachinko gaming machine 2, that is, in accordance with the highest stored memory of the pachinko gaming machine 2. . In this way, it becomes possible to perform operation notification after the game end time has elapsed that matches the model of the pachinko gaming machine 2.

  Alternatively, instead of this start count S1 (grace time T1), a predetermined number of out balls or safe balls is set, and when the set number of out balls or safe balls is exceeded after the game end time has elapsed, the pachinko You may make it determine with the game machine 2 continuing the game by the player, even if the game end time passes.

  Furthermore, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 2 after the game end time has elapsed is executed by operating the hitting operation handle 52, detecting a lamp that is lit while the pachinko gaming machine 2 is operating, or the like. May be. These detection means detect, for example, a signal from an existing handle touch sensor in the hitting operation handle 52 and a photocoupler in the lamp and detect the signal using the signal of the photocoupler. do it.

  Further, for example, before the game end button 180 is turned on, that is, before the game end time arrives (for example, about 5 minutes before), the player is notified that the game end time is approaching by in-store broadcasting or the like. It is good to do. In this case, it is even better if a message to that effect is displayed on the data display unit 130 of the calling lamp 9 or the like. Alternatively, the hall management computer 95 may be provided with a button for advance notice before the game end time arrives, and when this button is turned on, it may be notified that the game end time is approaching. In this way, the number of players who voluntarily stop the game when the game end time is reached further increases.

  In the present embodiment, the call lamp 9 (upper lamp portion 126), the island edge lamp 15, the island top lamp 16, the island top lamp 17, the island middle lamp 18, the island bottom lamp 19, and the island bottom lamp 20 When the pachinko gaming machine 2 is operating even after the grace time T1 has elapsed from the time, it is switched from green lighting to red flashing. In other words, the green lighting means that the grace time T1 has elapsed. However, it is also possible to turn off all green lights when the grace period T1 has elapsed. In this way, the player can recognize that the grace period T1 has elapsed when the green lighting is extinguished, and the number of players who voluntarily stop the game increases.

  In addition, for example, a release button is provided on the call lamp 9 and the process is completed for the call lamp 9 blinking in red in the store clerk, that is, the game is continued even after the game end time of the store clerk has passed. When the player is dealt with, the release button may be operated to turn off the red flashing of the calling lamp 9. In this case, all group B lamps are turned off, and depending on the conditions, the group A lamps are also turned off. This makes it easier for the store clerk to detect the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 2 after the game end time has elapsed. Thus, the work load on the store clerk can be further reduced. At this time, a signal indicating that this processing has been completed may be transmitted to the hall management computer 95. By doing so, the display of the pachinko gaming machine 2 displayed on the display 191 of the hall management computer 95 can also be erased sequentially.

  In the present embodiment, the game end button 180 is provided in the hall management computer 95, but the game end button 180 may be provided in each pachinko island stand 1. This is convenient when, for example, it is desired to set only the pachinko gaming machine 2 of a specific pachinko island stand 1 with different game end times, such as at a game hall event. In other words, the game hall can set a desired game end time for each pachinko island platform 1. However, if the game end button 180 is provided on the pachinko island 1, it cannot be isolated from the pachinko gaming machine 2 as in the hall management computer 95, and an unspecified number of people may operate the game end button 180. Therefore, care must be taken, for example, in a box with a key. Alternatively, in addition to the game end button 180, a game end button corresponding to each of the pachinko islands 1 may be further provided in the hall management computer 95.

  In this embodiment, when the game end button 180 is turned on, a game end signal is input from the hall management computer 95 to the call lamp 9, and the control board 150 of the call lamp 9 turns on the game end button 180.
