Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine with an improved winning method for an internal winning combination.

In the conventional slot machine, when the symbol that fluctuates stops at a predetermined position, if the symbol corresponding to the internal winning combination determined by the preliminary lottery is won, the internal winning combination is won.
JP 59-186581 A JP 2007-306955 A

However, since the method for winning an internal winning combination is one pattern in which the winning symbol corresponding to the internal winning combination is stopped at a predetermined timing, the game tends to be monotonous, and the moment of winning can be enjoyed in various ways. could not. In addition, for a player who cannot identify a symbol that is fluctuating and perform a so-called goal, the player cannot fully enjoy the game even if he / she knows the internal winning combination.
In view of this, a configuration has been proposed in which the timing for winning the internal winning combination is notified by light or sound, so that a winning can be achieved without looking at the changing symbol (see Patent Document 1).

However, since the contents of operations performed by the player are not reflected in the winning of the internal winning combination, it is not sufficient to diversify the winning mode.
In addition, there has been proposed a method in which another game is played after the internal winning of the bonus combination, and the bonus combination is stopped by pull-in control so that the bonus combination will not be won unless another game is won (see Patent Document 2). At the time of occurrence, it is confirmed that the bonus combination is internally won, and conversely, if it has not occurred, it is clear that the bonus has not been won internally. For this reason, the real pleasure of the game of making the bonus combination guess whether or not it is won internally is completely impaired. Furthermore, even if another game is won, since it is necessary to make a subsequent push to win, it is only troublesome for the player to play another game.
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to increase the interest of the game by a novel gameability while maintaining the original gameability of winning the internal winning combination. To provide a slot machine.

The present invention relates to a symbol variation display means having a plurality of variation display units for varyingly displaying a plurality of types of symbols according to a predetermined arrangement in a symbol display area, and a game for starting a main game with a game medium inserted. The main game start operation means operated by the user and when the main game start operation is performed, an internal lottery for determining an internal winning combination from a plurality of types including a specific combination and replay is executed and determined The internal lottery means for establishing the internal winning flag corresponding to the internal winning combination, the stop operating means operated by the player to stop the symbol fluctuation display by the symbol fluctuation display means, and the stop operating means are operated. Display control means for drawing a symbol corresponding to the internal winning flag within a predetermined drawing range and stopping and displaying it in the symbol display area; A winning determination means for determining whether or not the symbol stopped and displayed in the area is a predetermined winning symbol, and when the winning determining means determines that the symbol is a winning symbol, the profit corresponding to the winning symbol is a game Profit granting means to be given to the player, notification means for executing the effect according to the established state of the internal winning flag, sub-game start operating means operated by the player to start the sub-game, and the main game start Sub-game execution means for executing a sub-game when the sub-game start operation means is operated until a predetermined period of time has passed since the operation means was operated , regardless of whether the internal winning flag of the specific combination is established ; And achievement determination means for determining whether or not the sub-game has been achieved,
In at least one variation display portion of the plurality of variation display portions, a symbol is arranged so that a symbol corresponding to the internal winning flag of the specific combination does not exist within the drawing range, and the internal lottery means after the determination by the win determination unit, it erases the internal winning flag winning combination other than the specific combination or without winning before the next game is started, the display control means, the internal winning of the specific role when the flag is determined to the sub-game is achieved by the achieved determination means in the main game being satisfied, before symbol stop displaying the winning symbol of the specific role on the symbol display area is pulled regardless pull-in range while is, when the sub-game in the main game internal winning flag of the specific role is satisfied is determined to have not been achieved, the pull range The achievement determination to the symbol so as not to form the winning symbol of the specific role on the symbol display area is pulled regardless of stopping display, in the main game internal winning flag of the specified combination has not been established Even if it is determined by the means that the sub game has been achieved, the symbol is stopped and displayed so that the winning symbol of the specific role is not formed in the symbol display area, and the internal winning flag for replay is established In the game, the winning symbol of the replay is stopped and displayed in the symbol display area regardless of whether or not the sub game has been achieved by the achievement determination means (claim 1).

In the above configuration, when two or more types of internal winning flags are established, a winning combination determining means is provided for determining which internal winning flag is to be drawn.
The display control means draws in a symbol corresponding to the internal winning flag determined by the winning combination determining means when the internal lottery means determines that the winning combination is determined regardless of a predetermined drawing range, and the symbol display area May be stopped and displayed (claim 2).

The sub game is executed by operating the sub game lottery means for performing the lottery to determine whether or not to execute the sub game based on the internal winning combination determined by the internal lottery means, and the sub game start operation means. Sub game execution determination means for determining whether or not
The sub-game execution means, when the front Symbol stop operation means is operated, it said in a case where it is determined that the sub-game is not being executed by the sub-game execution determination unit, the lottery by the sub-game lottery means When winning , a sub game may be executed (claim 3).

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, if any of the winning combinations is won internally when the sub-game is achieved, the symbol corresponding to the internal winning flag is stopped and displayed regardless of the predetermined pull-in range. Since the reels are forcibly stopped (hereinafter referred to as “forced stop”), the winning moments can be diversified by setting various subgames. In addition, when a certain level of skill is required to achieve the subgame, it is possible to give a sense of achievement to the subgame and provide joy as if the player has won a prize through his own efforts. Further, since no need for pushing up, it is possible to sufficiently entertain even a player who cannot do it.

  In addition, although it is possible to set a subgame at any time within the predetermined period after the game starts, the player can expect the internal winning status to some extent by using a stop symbol or a liquid crystal image, etc. When it is felt that the degree is high, it is possible to determine whether or not the game is successful by selecting one of a method of pressing or sub-game, and at the same time, the moment of winning can be enjoyed.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, it is possible to diversify the gameplay by preliminarily defining the winning combination among the winning combinations at the same time. For example, a winning combination that can be internally won at the same time as a bonus combination and that can be won internally alone is forcibly stopped so that the winning combination is awarded when an internal winning is performed at the same time as a bonus combination. When the winning combination wins, the player can be expected to win a bonus.
When the reels are stopped by the stop operation, the game can be changed by winning a winning combination that cannot be won.

  According to the invention of claim 3, the interest of the game can be enhanced by the effect of giving the player's intention. Further, in the lottery for determining whether or not to execute the sub game, it is possible to give the player a high sense of expectation for the sub game by increasing the rate at which the sub game is determined to be executed when the bonus is won.

(First embodiment)
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 2 schematically shows a front appearance of the slot machine. A display window (corresponding to the symbol display area) 2 is provided on the front of the slot machine 1, and the player can visually recognize the symbol of the reel (corresponding to symbol variation display means) 3 provided inside through the display window 2. It has become. In this case, as shown in FIG. 3, the symbols are drawn on the circumferential surfaces of the left reel 3a, the middle reel 3b, and the right reel 3c as the variable display portions, and in the stopped state of the reels 3a to 3c. Symbols are displayed corresponding to the upper, middle and lower stages of the display window 2. The display window 2 is provided with a total of five winning lines (three horizontal lines corresponding to the upper, middle and lower stages and two diagonally arranged) (shown by broken lines in FIG. 2). An active line display unit 4 for displaying the activated pay line is provided on the side of the, and a corresponding win is generated when the winning symbols are aligned on any of the pay lines. .

  Above the display window 2, a liquid crystal display unit (corresponding to notification means) 5 for displaying various information such as a payout progress state of medals (corresponding to game media) in a big bonus (hereinafter referred to as BB), a decorative lamp unit 6 And a speaker 7 are provided. Below the display window 2 are a MAX BET button 8 for betting credit medals, a credit settlement button 9 for settlement of credit medals, a decision button (corresponding to the sub game start operation means) 10 in connection with the present invention, and a medal. A medal insertion slot 11 for insertion is provided. Below these are a start lever (corresponding to main game start operation means) 12, a cross key 13 related to the present invention, and a left stop button 14 corresponding to stop operation means. A middle stop button 15 and a right stop button 16 are provided. On the right side of the display window 2, a payout number display unit 17 for displaying the number of payout medals and a credit number display unit 18 for displaying the number of credit medals are provided. A tray 19 is provided at the bottom front of the slot machine 1.

  When the slot machine 1 operates the start lever 12 in a series of game start operations, that is, when the player has bet medals into the medal slot 11 or bets credit medals by operating the MAXBET button 8, the internal lottery And the reels 3a to 3c are started (rotation operation is started).

  After starting the reels 3a to 3c, the slot machine 1 stops one reel by stopping the reels 3a to 3c according to the operation of the stop buttons 14 to 16. If the result of the internal lottery is winning, the internal winning flag (BB internal winning flag, small winning internal winning flag, replay internal winning flag) corresponding to the internal winning combination won by the internal lottery is turned on (established) ), Stop control including so-called slip control (retraction control) based on the internal winning flag (control to stop and display each reel 3a to 3c with a winning symbol or a lost symbol according to the type of the internal winning flag), The number of medals corresponding to the winning symbol is discharged to the tray 19. The pull-in control is a control capable of pulling up to four symbols at the maximum from the time point when the operation of the stop buttons 14 to 16 is detected and stopping and displaying the symbols.

  As shown in FIG. 4, a BB combination, an RB combination (only during the BB game), a small combination (plum, bell, watermelon, cherry) from which medals are paid out by winning, and a replay are set.

  FIG. 5 shows an internal winning combination lottery table set in the slot machine 1. As can be seen from FIG. 5, with regard to the BB combination and the RB combination, a lottery for the BB combination is performed in the normal state, and a lottery for the RB combination is performed during the BB game. Also, in the RB game, any small role is won internally with a very high probability.

  FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the slot machine 1. The control unit (corresponding to internal lottery means, display control means, winning determination means, profit granting means, subgame execution means, achievement determination means) 20 is constituted by a microcomputer provided with a CPU 21, ROM 22, RAM 23, I / O 24, etc. The operation signals are input from the start lever 12, the left stop button 14, the middle stop button 15, the right stop button 16, the MAXBET button 8, and the credit settlement button 9.

  The control unit 20 inputs an inserted medal detection signal from the inserted medal detection unit 25 that determines the authenticity and quantity of medals inserted into the medal insertion slot 11, and receives each setting signal from the setting value operation unit 26 as a setting unit. input. The set value operation unit 26 can change the set value using a set key (not shown) owned by the administrator. As the set value, the winning probability of the BB combination can be set in a plurality of stages (for example, 6 stages of 1 to 6). The larger the numerical value (setting value), the larger the winning probability of the BB combination is set.

  The control unit 20 includes a reel driving unit 28 that drives the reel motors 27a to 27c corresponding to the reels 3a to 3c, and sensors 29a to 29c that detect passage of reference position pieces provided on the reels 3a to 3c. A reference position detecting unit 30 for detecting a reference position based on a detection signal from the sound signal, an audio output unit 31 for driving the speaker 7, a medal paying unit 32 for releasing a medal to the tray 19, a liquid crystal display unit 5, and an effective line display unit 4 The payout number display unit 17, the credit number display unit 18, and the decorative lamp unit 6 are connected.

  Based on each input signal and the control program stored in the ROM, the control unit 20 includes a reel drive unit 28, an audio output unit 31, a medal payout unit 32, a liquid crystal display unit 5, an effective line display unit 4, and a payout number display unit 17. In addition to controlling the operation of the credit number display unit 18 and the decorative lamp unit 6, an out signal (1 pulse output for every insertion of one medal or every bet of one credit medal), a safe signal (for every payout of one medal or one credit) It is configured to control generation of one pulse every time a medal is paid out, a game signal (one pulse output every time a game starts), and a BB signal (level signal output during the BB period).

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation of the control unit 20 of the slot machine 1. The control unit 20 of the slot machine 1 sequentially executes a game start process, a reel stop, and a winning process.
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a game start process by the control unit 20. When the player operates the start lever 12 after inserting a medal, the control unit 20 determines that a game start operation has been detected (A1: YES), obtains a random number (A2), and performs the internal winning combination in FIG. An internal lottery is performed by collating with the lottery table (A3), and an internal winning combination is determined from the BB combination, plum, bell, watermelon, cherry, and replay combination. After the internal winning flag is set to “1” for the determined combination (A4), rotation of the reels 3a to 3c is started (A5).

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the reel stop and winning process by the control unit 20. The control unit 20 determines whether the BB game is in progress (B1), whether an operation on the determination button 10 is detected (B2), or whether the first stop operation is detected (B3). The first time when the player operates any of the stop buttons 14 to 16 to stop the reels 3a to 3c (corresponding to “before a predetermined period elapses after the main game start operation means is operated”). Is detected (B3: YES), and the reels 3a to 3c are stopped by pull-in control based on the established internal winning flag (B4). That is, if the symbol corresponding to the internal winning flag is within the drawing range (four frames) at the timing when the stop buttons 14 to 16 are operated, the symbol is stopped and displayed on the predetermined winning line by the drawing control. On the other hand, if it is not within the pull-in range, any symbol within the pull-in range is stopped and displayed on the winning line by the pull-in control.

  Each time the player operates the stop buttons 14 to 16 in sequence (B5: YES), the rotation of the corresponding reels 13a to 13c is stopped (B6), and the rotation of all the reels 3a to 3c is stopped (B7: YES). After performing the winning determination (B15), the winning process is executed (B16). That is, when the winning combination of the BB combination is determined, the process proceeds to the BB game. When the winning combination of the small combination (plum, bell, watermelon, cherry) is determined, a predetermined number of medals are paid out. When a replay is won, a replay game is set in which the next game can be started without inserting medals. The small winning combinations other than the BB winning combination and the replay internal winning flag (small winning combination flag and replay flag) are deleted (B17).

  When winning the BB combination, the game shifts to the BB game and a lottery is performed based on the BB game lottery table. In the BB game, a lottery for the RB role is performed instead of the replay, and when the RB role is won, the game moves to the RB game, and the lottery is performed based on the RB game lottery table. The RB game ends with 8 wins, 12 games, or the end of the BB game. The BB game ends when the cumulative number of payout medals in the BB game exceeds 465.

Now, in the state where the above-mentioned internal winning flag is established, since the pull-in control is performed so that the winning combination corresponding to the internal winning flag is won, the advanced player predicts the established state of the internal winning flag. However, although it is possible to stop and display the symbol so that the winning combination wins, for the advanced beginners, the winning combination will be awarded even if the internal winning flag is predicted. It is difficult to stop and display symbols on the screen, and the interest of the slot machine 1 is lowered.
Therefore, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is configured to be able to shift from the main game described above to a sub game, and configured to win an internal winning flag by achieving a simple game in the sub game. .

When the player wants to win an internal winning flag, he operates the start lever 12 and operates the determination button 10 with all the reels 3a to 3c rotated.
In the reel stop and winning process of FIG. 9, the control unit 20 determines after the start lever 12 is operated (after the start operation), and any stop buttons 14 to 16 are not operated (B3: NO). When an operation on the button 10 is detected (B2: YES), a sub game process is executed (B8).

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the sub game process by the control unit 20. After displaying the sub game screen (C1), the control unit 20 determines whether a card has been selected (C2) or whether the “Hold” button 34 has been selected (C5). A sub game is played by poker of a card game performed on the screen of the liquid crystal display unit 5, and the control unit 20 is played against the opponent.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a sub game procedure. On the liquid crystal display unit 5, five cards are distributed and displayed to the player and the opponent, and a “Change” button 33 and a “Hold” button 34 are displayed. At this time, the player's card is open and the opponent's card is closed (see FIG. 6A).

  If there is a card to be exchanged among the distributed cards, the player moves the cursor (not shown) displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 5 with the cross key 13 and operates the enter button 10.

  When the card is selected (C2: YES), the control unit 20 determines whether the “Change” button 33 is selected (C4) or the “Hold” button 34 is selected (C5). The replacement card is moved upward in the figure by about 1/3 of the vertical width of the card (see FIG. 6B).

When the player selects the “Change” button 33, the control unit 20 determines that “Change” has been selected (C3: YES), exchanges the selected card with another card (C4), and then plays the game. The name of the person's card is displayed (C6). If the player selects the “Hold” button 34 without selecting a replacement card, it is determined that “Hold” has been selected (C5: YES), and the player's card name is displayed (C6) ( (See FIG. 6 (c)).
Next, the opponent's card is opened (C7), and the result is determined (C8) (see FIG. 6D). When the player's card combination is higher than the opponent's card combination, “WIN!” Is displayed (see FIG. 6E), and when it is low, “LOSE” is displayed.

  When the sub game process is executed as described above in the reel stop and winning process in FIG. 9, the control unit 20 determines whether the player has won (B9). When the player wins (B9: YES), if any of the internal winning flags is “1” (B10: YES), the player wins the internal winning flag regardless of whether or not the player wins. The corresponding symbol is stopped and displayed (B11). However, if the internal winning flag is not established (B10: NO), it is stopped and displayed so as not to win any combination (B14). If the player does not win (B9: NO) and the bell or replay internal winning flag is established (B12: YES), the bell or replay wins for the purpose of salvaging the player. In such a manner, the stop display is performed by the pull-in control (B13). If any other combination flag is established, or if any internal winning flag is not established (B12: NO), the winning combination is stopped and displayed so as not to win any combination (B14). .

  According to such an embodiment, the control unit 20 of the slot machine 1 executes the sub game when the determination button 10 is operated from when the game is started until any one of the stop buttons 14 to 16 is operated. When a player wins in the subgame, if any of the internal winning flags is established, the winning symbol of the internal winning combination will be forcibly stopped, so even if the player is not good at winning If you win the subgame, it will be the same as if you were successful. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the interest of the game by the new gameability while maintaining the original gameability to win the internal winning combination, and disadvantageous players who are not good at the disadvantage And unfairness by the player can be removed.

In addition, when the player loses in the sub game, if the internal winning flag of Bell or Replay is established, those roles will be awarded, so that even if you lose in the sub game, you can enjoy the game Can enhance interest.
In addition, since it is necessary to achieve a sub-game that requires a certain level of technology, poker, it is possible to give a sense of achievement to the sub-game and provide joy as if the player has won a prize through his own efforts. Further, since no need for pushing up, it is possible to sufficiently entertain even a player who cannot do it.

  In addition, although it is possible to set a subgame at any time within a predetermined period after the game starts, the player can make an internal winning flag because the internal winning flag can be inferred to some extent by a stop symbol or a liquid crystal image. When it is felt that the degree of expectation is high, it is possible to determine whether or not the game is successful by selecting one of the methods of pressing or sub-game and at the same time enjoying the moment of winning.

(Second Embodiment)
The second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 16, and the same steps as those in the first embodiment will be denoted by the same step numbers and the description thereof will be omitted. The second embodiment is characterized in that a roulette is executed as a sub game and a process when a stop button is not operated is added.

In the slot machine 1, a winning color lottery table for drawing the winning color of the roulette and an effect determining table for determining an effect in the sub game are set.
FIG. 11 shows a winning color lottery table. The winning probability for red and black is set to 63/128, and the winning probability for green (out of line) is set to 2/128.

  FIG. 12 shows an effect determination table when the color selected by the player is red and the winning color is red. The winning probabilities for effects A and B are set to 60/128, and the winning probability for effect C is set to 8/128. Although a plurality of effect determination tables are set corresponding to the color selected by the player and the winning color, the other effect determination tables are omitted. The winning probability of effects A and B is set to 60/128, and the winning probability of effect C is set to 8/128.

When the game start operation is detected in FIG. 14 showing the game start process (A1: YES), the control unit 20 operates the timer (D1), and then executes the same operation as in the first embodiment.
In the reel stop and winning process shown in FIG. 15, the controller 20 does not operate all the stop buttons 14 to 16, and after the game start operation, 30 seconds have elapsed (“the main game start operation means is operated. (E1: YES, E3: YES), it is stopped by the pull-in control so as not to win any of them (E4). Further, after the game is started, none of the stop buttons 14 to 16 is operated, and if the determination button 10 is operated (B2: YES) before the timer expires 10 seconds (E2: NO), the sub Game processing is executed (B8).
In the sub game process shown in FIG. 16, the control unit 20 displays the sub game screen (see FIG. 13A) (F1), has detected the operation of the enter button 10 (F2), and 15 seconds It is determined whether or not (F3) has passed.

The player expects the color (red or black) to be won by the roulette after the operation of the determination button 10 until the timer has elapsed 15 seconds, and uses the cross key 13 to select the color buttons 41 and 42 (FIG. 13B). (Ref.) Is selected, and the decision button 10 finally decides.
When the control unit 20 detects the operation of the determination button 10 until 15 seconds have elapsed after the determination button 10 is operated (F2: YES), or 15 seconds have elapsed without the determination button 10 being operated. In this case (F3: YES), it is determined whether the color buttons 41 and 42 are determined (F4). When the color buttons 41 and 42 are determined (F4: YES), when the black button 41 is selected (F5: YES), it is determined to be black (F6) and the red button 42 is selected. When (F5: NO), it is determined to be red (F7). When the color is not determined (F4: NO), it is determined to be red (F7).

  Next, the winning color is determined by the winning color lottery table of FIG. 11 (F10), and the result is judged (F11). Based on the lottery result, the effect is determined by the effect lottery table of FIG. 12 (F12), and the effect of notifying the winning color is performed (F13). After the winning color is notified, “WIN!” Is displayed if the player's prediction is correct (see FIG. 13C), and “LOSE” is displayed if the player is off.

After executing the winning process in the reel stop and winning process of FIG. 15 (B16), the control unit 20 resets the timer (E5).
According to such an embodiment, since the player selects whether the player is red or black and executes the roulette, does the selected option win until the result of the determination is notified? In addition, if it is a win, it can be predicted whether it will be a prize, and a game with a sense of tension can be provided until the prize is awarded.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and can be modified or expanded as follows.
The sub game is not limited to poker or roulette, and may be other card game, mahjong, puzzle game, shooting game, or the like.
In the winning of the bell or the replay, the withdrawal is made regardless of the result of the sub game. However, it is only necessary to perform the withdrawal control according to the result of the sub game for at least one combination. However, it is preliminarily set as to which one of the roles.

The sub game may be received before the start lever is operated. Further, it may be received after the first reel is stopped until the final reel is stopped.
When two or more types of winning combination flags are established, a winning symbol having a predetermined high priority may be determined (equivalent to winning winning determining means) and forcibly stopped. For example, when a winning combination that can be won internally at the same time as the bonus combination is stopped and displayed due to a forced stop, the player can be expected to win the bonus. Further, the winning symbol of the winning combination with the narrowest draw range may be forcibly stopped, or it may be determined by lottery which winning symbol of the winning combination is forcibly stopped.

While the operation of the stop buttons 14 to 16 is not detected during execution of the sub game, the operation may be stopped by operating the stop buttons 14 to 16 during the period.
Even when the sub game start operation means is not operated, a lottery is performed on whether or not to execute the sub game based on the result of the internal lottery (corresponding to the sub game lottery means). It is also possible to execute the sub game (corresponding to the sub game execution means) after determining whether or not there is a failure (corresponding to the sub game execution determination means). The execution timing is when the start lever is operated or when the stop button is operated. According to such a configuration, it is possible to enhance the interest of the game by producing the player's intention. Further, in the lottery for determining whether or not to execute the sub game, it is possible to give the player a high sense of expectation for the sub game by increasing the rate at which the sub game is determined to be executed when the bonus is won.
