Description

  The present invention relates to a display device that displays the number of difference balls on a game table, and more particularly to a display device that displays the number of difference balls depending on the game state of the game table.

In game machines such as pachinko machines installed at pachinko parlors and other game machines, various game modes are generally set, and the number of balls (the number of shots) the customer has placed in the game mode and the game The difference (referred to as the number of difference balls) with the number of balls paid out from the stand (referred to as the number paid out) is set at a different rate. For example, in the normal state (the normal mode is set), the number of balls is negative for the customer, but in the state where the special prize is won (the special mode is set), the number of balls is positive for the customer. In addition, there is a state where the probability of winning the special prize is high (the probability variation mode is set). During the probability change mode, special prize winnings may occur continuously, and the number of difference balls may become very large. On the other hand, even during the probability change, the number of special prizes is small and the number of differences may be very small.
In relation to the above technique, a technique for counting and displaying the number of initial hits (the number of big hits in the normal mode) is disclosed (see Patent Document 1).

JP 2002-143530 A

  However, the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 can display the number of first hits and the probability of occurrence, but the number of balls may be small even if the number of jackpots is large, or the number of balls of difference even if the number of jackpots is small. In some cases, there is a problem that the recognition actually deviates between the number of difference balls actually felt by the customer and the displayed information.

  In addition, since the number of hits and the number of difference balls required for winning the jackpot is not displayed, there is a problem that the customer cannot accurately determine the superiority of the game stand with respect to the occurrence of the jackpot.

  Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and provides a display device that displays the number of difference balls in the special prize mode and the number of difference balls required for winning the special prize mode in association with each other. Objective.

Or a plurality of row units, in correspondence with the probability variation prize difference piece count is characterized in that and a regular display section for displaying a predetermined substitute symbols.

  As described above, in the display device disclosed in the present application, the game mode obtained by logically summing the special prize mode and the probability variation mode is the probability variation special prize mode, and the probability variation special prize difference number for each occurrence of the probability variation special prize mode and the probability variation special prize mode are set. The customer's satisfaction level is determined by accurately determining the superiority of the game stand, because the number of balls that are normally different in modes other than the probability variation award mode required for winning is displayed in association with each occurrence of the probability variation award mode. It has the effect that it can raise.

  In addition, since the number of probability variation special balls in the probability variation special mode and the normal number of balls in other modes are displayed, it is possible to display the difference between the sense that the customer actually experienced and the displayed information. There is an effect that can be done.

  (2) The display device disclosed in the present application is the first special prize when the number of the probability variation special prize difference balls is greater than or equal to a predetermined predetermined value in the probability variation special prize mode, and is less than the predetermined predetermined value. In some cases, other special prizes are used, and the number of probable variation balls in the other special prizes is displayed on the normal display unit.

  As described above, in the display device disclosed in the present application, even when the probability variation special prize mode is won, in the case of another special prize whose probability variation special prize difference number is less than the predetermined specified value, the number of normal difference balls Therefore, it is possible to accurately display the feeling that the number of balls is not so positive for the customer who has won the probability variation special mode, and the effect of eliminating the discrepancy in recognition can be achieved.

(3) The display device disclosed in the present application is characterized in that the probability variation special ball difference number in the other special awards is displayed with a substitution symbol different from the substitution symbol indicating the normal difference ball number.

It is a figure which shows an example of the display in the display apparatus which concerns on a form.

(1. Configuration)
In FIG. 1, the game hall management system 1 includes a gaming table 130 for a customer 101 to play a game, and a display device 110 that counts and displays the game status of the gaming table based on signals input from the gaming table 130. And an island totaling device 140 for totaling game information of the game stand 130 for each island, a hall totaling device 150 for further totaling game information totaled by all the island totaling devices in the hall (in the game hall), and the hole totaling A server 160 that stores and analyzes game information collected by the device 150, a printer 170 that prints various information on paper, and a management terminal 120 that is used by the administrator 102 are provided.

  The game stand 130 is a device such as a pachinko machine, for example, and is adjusted so that the number of difference balls, which is the difference between the number of shots and the number of payouts, varies depending on the game mode (special prize mode, normal mode, probability change mode, etc.). . Also, in the special prize mode, it is possible to distinguish big hits, medium hits, small hits, etc. according to the number of difference balls. In the probability variation mode, the special prize mode occurs continuously, which may be very advantageous for customers. .

  When the customer 101 plays a game on the gaming table 130, the display device 110 that has received an input signal from the gaming table 130 outputs game information of the gaming table 130 individually. The game information based on the input signal received by the display device 110 is stored in the server 160 via the island totaling device 140 and the hall totaling device 150. The administrator 102 collects and analyzes game information stored in the server 160 using the management terminal 120 and manages the entire system. At that time, printing is performed on paper using the printer 170 as necessary.

  Further, in the management terminal 120, a setting such as a specified value necessary when the display device 110 performs display control is set and transmitted to the display device 110. The display device 110 performs display control of game information based on the transmitted specified value.

FIG. 2 is a hardware configuration diagram of the display device according to the present embodiment. The display device 110 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 201, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 202, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 203, a flash memory (Flash Memory) 204, an HD (Hard Disk) 205 which is an external storage device, and an input device. An output I / F 206, a video controller 207, a display 207a which is a display panel electrically connected to the video controller 207, a sound controller 208, and a speaker 208a which is an audio output unit electrically connected to the sound controller 208 are provided.
Note that the above hardware configuration is merely an example, and it is natural that the components can be changed.

In FIG. 3, the display device 110 includes a signal reception unit 310, a mode determination unit 320, a difference ball number calculation unit 330, a display control unit 340, a normal display unit 350, and a special prize display unit 360.
The signal receiving unit 310 performs a process of receiving a pulse signal from the game table 130.

  Here, a pulse signal from the game stand 130 will be described. FIG. 4 is a specific example of a pulse signal. Various signals are output from the gaming table 130. By analyzing these signals, information such as the game mode of the gaming table 130, the number of shots, the number of payouts, the number of lotteries for special prizes (the number of start times), etc. Can be obtained.

In the case of a pachinko, one pulse signal is output for 10 balls. When counting pulses for 1 minute, in normal mode, there are 2 to 4 safe pulses and 5 to 8 start pulses for 10 out pulses (for 100 balls). The number of safe pulses is 9 to 10 and the number of start pulses is 10 to 20 with respect to the number of out pulses 10. In the special award mode, the number of safe pulses is 30 or more with respect to the number of out pulses 10. In general, the number of safes is small relative to the number of throws in a normal state, but the number of safes increases with respect to the number of throws in the special prize mode state.
The start is a lottery that starts when a ball enters the start checker of a pachinko machine, and starts once after the number starts moving.

  A specific example of a pulse signal will be described with reference to FIG. When a special prize is won, a special prize pulse is generated (FIG. 4 (a)), and when shifting to the probability changing mode, a probability changing pulse (FIG. 4 (b)) is generated. The probability variation pulse is in a state of rising while the probability variation mode is continued. FIG. 4C shows a state in which the pulse in the probability variation mode and the pulse in the special prize mode are logically summed. In the present embodiment, the state in which the pulse rises in FIG. 4C is the probability variation special mode, the state in which the pulse does not rise is the normal mode, and the number of difference balls in the probability variation special mode (number of probability variation special difference numbers) ) And the difference ball number in the normal mode (normal difference ball number) are displayed in association with each other.

  Returning to FIG. 3, based on the pulse signal received by the signal reception unit 310, the mode determination unit 320 determines the game mode. The difference ball number calculation unit 330 performs a process of calculating the difference ball number for each game mode based on the pulse signal received by the signal reception unit 310.

  The display control unit 340 displays the number of normal difference balls in the normal mode and performs processing for displaying the number of probability variation special difference balls in the probability variation special mode in association with the number of normal difference balls. The normal difference ball number is displayed on the normal display unit 350, and the probability variation special prize difference number is displayed on the probability variation special prize display unit 360.

(2. Operation)
In FIG. 5, first, a pulse signal from the gaming table 130 is received (step S501). It is determined whether it is a start signal (step S502). If it is a start signal, the number of times of start is incremented (step S503), and the game mode is specified (step S504).

  The identified game mode is determined (step S505). If the game mode is not the probability variation special mode, the normal difference ball number is calculated and displayed on the normal display unit 350 (step S506). If the game mode is the probability variation special prize mode, the probability variation special prize difference number is calculated and displayed on the probability variation special prize display unit 360 (step S507). It is determined whether or not the probability variation special prize mode has ended (step S508), and if the special prize mode has ended, the start count is reset (step S509). It is determined whether or not the game is finished (step S510). If the game is finished, the display process is finished as it is. If the game is not finished, the process returns to step S501 to receive the next pulse signal. .

  A specific display screen displayed by the above process will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 6, the number of normal difference balls is displayed as a circle (black circle) on the normal display portion 350, and the probability variation special prize difference number is displayed as a circle (white circle) on the probability variation special prize display portion 360. Here, one circle indicates the number of 1250 difference balls. The number-of-times area at the left end shows the number of times that the probability variation special mode is won. Specifically, the pulse signal generated in FIG. 4C is counted as one time.

  For each number of times displayed in the number of times area of FIG. 6, the number of normal difference balls (the number of balls when no pulse is generated in FIG. 4C) and the number of probability variation special difference balls (the pulse in FIG. 4C). (The number of difference balls when) is generated and is displayed as a substitute symbol. Therefore, according to the display of FIG. 6, since the number of black circles and white circles is the same at the first time, the customer has no loss. The second time, there are 24 white circles for one black circle, so the customer is in a state of considerable profit. Further, it can be predicted that the customer who has seen the display has won the consecutive special award mode in the probability variation mode, not the single special award mode because of the large number of white circles. In addition, it can be seen that because of the small number of black circles, we have gained a lot of money with a small investment, that is, we have shifted to the probability change mode in a short time and won the special prize continuously. At a glance, it can be seen at a glance that the customer lost because the third round had many black circles and the fourth round had many white circles.

  In the start count area 361, the number of lotteries to the probability variation special mode in the current game state is counted and displayed. Since the number of lotteries is reset every time the probability variation special mode is won, it is possible to confirm how many times the lottery is performed before winning one probability variation special mode.

Note that the display screen in FIG. 6 may have a special prize history area 362 and display the number of times the special prize is won during one probability variation special prize mode as a history for each probability variation special prize mode. Moreover, it has the start frequency history area | region 363, and you may display the lottery count to one probability variation special prize mode as a log | history for every one probability variation special prize mode.
Further, in FIG. 6, a circle is used as a substitute symbol, but any graph or symbol may be used as long as the number of difference balls can be expressed.

As described above, in the display device according to the present embodiment, since the difference ball number in the probability variation special prize mode and the normal difference ball number required for winning in the probability variation special prize mode are displayed in association with each other, the customer has the advantage of the gaming table. By accurately determining the customer satisfaction, customer satisfaction can be increased.
Moreover, since the number of probability variation special prize difference balls and the number of normal difference balls are displayed, it is possible to display the difference between the sense that the customer actually experienced and the displayed information.

(Second embodiment of the present invention)
The display device according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 is a functional block diagram of the display device according to the present embodiment, FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the display device according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 9 illustrates an example of display on the display device according to the present embodiment. FIG.

  In addition, in this embodiment, the description which overlaps with the said 1st Embodiment is abbreviate | omitted. Further, in this embodiment, as in the case of the first embodiment, the state obtained by logically summing the pulses in the probability variation mode and the pulses in the special prize mode is set as the probability variation special prize mode, and the other states are set as the normal mode.

(1. Configuration)
In FIG. 7, the difference from the case of the first embodiment is that the mode determination unit 320 sets a predetermined reference value based on the difference ball number in the probability variation special prize mode calculated by the difference ball number calculation unit 330. When satisfying, it sets to 1st probability change special prize mode, and when not satisfying, it determines as 2nd probability change special prize mode.

  If the display control unit 340 determines that the first probability variation special mode is selected, the display control unit 340 displays the difference number (referred to as the first probability variation special difference difference number) on the probability variation special prize display unit 360, and the second probability variation special prize. When it is determined that the mode is selected, the number of difference balls (the second certainty variation special prize difference ball number) is displayed on the normal display unit 350. At that time, in order to indicate that the second probability variation special prize mode has occurred, the display mode of the normal difference ball number and the second probability variation special prize difference number is displayed on the normal display unit 350 as different display modes.

(2. Operation)
In FIG. 8, the process from step S801 to step S805 is the same as the process from step S501 to step S505 in FIG.

  If the game mode is not the probability variation special prize mode in step S805, the normal difference ball number is calculated (step S806) and displayed on the normal display unit 350 (step S807). If the game mode is a probability variation special prize mode in step S805, the probability variation special prize difference number is calculated (step S808). It is determined whether or not the calculated probability variation special ball difference number is larger than a predetermined specified value (step S809). 350 is displayed (step S807). At this time, the substitute symbol indicating the normal difference ball number and the substitute symbol indicating the second probability variation special ball difference number are displayed in different modes.

  In step S809, if the probability variation special prize difference ball number is larger than a predetermined specified value, the probability variation special prize difference ball number is displayed on the probability variation special prize display unit 360 as in the case of the first embodiment as the first probability variation special prize difference ball number. (Step S810). The processing from step S811 to step S813 is the same as the processing from step S508 to step S510 in FIG.

  A specific display screen displayed by the above process will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 9A, as in the case of FIG. 6, one circle indicates the number of 1250 difference balls, and the normal difference ball number is displayed as a circle (black circle) on the normal display unit 350, and the probability change In the special prize display section 360, the number of probability variation special prize differences is displayed as a circle (white circle). However, the number of normal difference balls includes a round mark (double circle) of the second probability variation special difference number of balls. Further, the number of probability variation special prize difference balls does not include the number of second probability variation special prize difference balls, and only the number of first probability variation special prize difference balls is displayed.

  The number-of-times area at the left end indicates the number of times the first probability variation special mode is won. Specifically, among the pulse signals generated in FIG. 4 (c), when a continuous pulse is generated a predetermined number of times or more within a predetermined period (for example, during the probability variation mode) as in the special prize mode in the probability variation mode. In addition, a case where a state in which one pulse continuously rises for a predetermined period (for example, a period in which the number of difference balls becomes equal to or more than a predetermined value) occurs is counted as one time. In other words, in the case of FIG. 4, two special prizes are won first, and then four special prizes are won in the probability variation mode. In this case, the first two special prizes have a period during which the pulse is rising. It is assumed that the number of difference balls does not satisfy the predetermined specified value because it is short and ends in a single shot. Therefore, the first two special prizes are not counted as the number of times, and the number of difference balls is 2 in the normal display portion 350 of FIG. It is displayed as a heavy circle.

  It is assumed that pulses are generated continuously for the next four times, and the number of difference balls satisfies a predetermined specified value during the probability variation special mode. Therefore, it is counted as one probability variation special prize mode, and the number of difference balls is displayed as a first probability variation special prize difference number in the probability variation special prize display section 360 of FIG. At this time, since the first certainty variation special prize difference ball number satisfies a predetermined specified value, a plurality of white circles that are continued to some extent are displayed.

  In FIG. 9A, since the normal display portion 350 has a double circle, it can be seen that the second probability variation special mode is won in a single shot. However, in the one-time probability variation award mode, the difference ball number does not become so positive, so that it is displayed on the normal display unit 350 without being displayed on the probability variation award display unit 360.

  The customer sees the display in FIG. 9 (A) and confirms that the actual number of difference balls is small although the number of times the probability variation prize mode is won is large. It is possible to confirm the number of normal difference balls required to win the large first probability variation special prize mode.

  In the start count area 361, the number of lotteries for the first probability variation special mode is counted and displayed. Here, unlike the case of FIG. 6, it is not reset every time the probability variation special mode is won, but is reset every time the first probability variation special mode is won. That is, even if the second probability variation special mode is won, the start count is not reset, and it is possible to confirm how many times the lottery is performed before winning the first probability variation special mode.

  As shown in FIG. 9B, the normal display unit 350 in FIG. 9A is a start number display unit 901 that displays the start number for each number of times of the probability variation special mode, and the probability variation award display unit 360 is A special prize number display unit 902 that displays the number of times a special prize is won for each probability variation special prize mode may be displayed as a substitute symbol. At this time, if the second probability variation special prize mode is won, the number is not counted as the number of special prizes. That is, it is not reflected in the display of the special prize number display unit 902. On the other hand, the number of start times when winning the second probability variation special prize mode is displayed on the start number display portion 901 in distinction from the normal number of start times (double circle in FIG. 9B). That is, in FIG. 9B, it can be seen that the second probability variation special mode is won twice in the third probability variation special mode.

In FIG. 9B, one black circle of the start number indicates the start number of 100 times, and one white circle indicates the number of special prizes of one time. The number of times indicated by the substitute symbol can be arbitrarily set by the user.
Further, in FIG. 9, a circle is used as a substitute symbol, but any graph or symbol may be used as long as the number of difference balls can be expressed.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the first probability variation special mode and the second probability variation special mode are distinguished, but the third, fourth,..., Nth (as the numerical value increases) depending on the number of difference balls. A distinction may be made to the probability variation special mode of the difference ball number). In that case, the number of difference balls in the probability variation special prize mode equal to or lower than the second probability variation special prize mode may be displayed on the normal display unit 350, and each probability variation special prize difference ball number may be distinguished and displayed with a different substitute symbol.

  Thus, according to the display device according to the present embodiment, even in the case of winning in the probability variation special mode, in the case of the probability variation special mode in which the number of difference balls is less than the predetermined specified value, the number of difference balls is set. Since it is displayed as the number of difference balls in the normal mode, it is possible to accurately display the feeling that the number of difference balls is not so positive for the customer who has won the probability variation special mode, and to eliminate the recognition gap.

  In addition, since the number of difference balls in the second probability variation special mode is displayed with a substitution symbol different from the substitution symbol indicating the number of difference balls in the normal mode, the number of times of winning in the probability variation special mode that does not satisfy a predetermined specified value is clarified. Can be.

  Furthermore, since the number of lotteries displayed is reset only when the first probability variation award mode is won, the number of lotteries until the customer wins the first probability variation award mode that can acquire more payouts is confirmed. It is possible to provide information that can select a gaming table superior to the customer.

  In each of the above embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the display device installed adjacent to the game table in the game hall has been described. However, the display device of the present invention transmits and receives information related to the game table using a communication function. Thus, the present invention can also be applied as a display device such as a personal computer screen, a television screen, and a terminal screen via the Internet. Further, the mobile phone screen can be applied as the display device of the present invention by the communication function of the mobile phone.

  Although the present invention has been described with the above embodiments, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the scope described in the embodiments, and various modifications or improvements can be added to these embodiments. . And embodiment which added such a change or improvement is also contained in the technical scope of the present invention. This is apparent from the claims and the means for solving the problems.

  Specific examples of the display device according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a specific operation of the display device according to the first embodiment. First, the N-th normal time is integrated (step S1001), and N-th normal history information (start time, start driving number, start payout number, cumulative start number at start) is recorded (step S1002). It is determined whether or not the mode is the probability variation special mode (step 1003). If the mode is not the probability variation special mode, the Nth start signal (one count per pulse) is integrated (step S1004), and the normal difference ball number (| payout number-hitting) The number of inclusions |) is integrated (step S1005), and the process returns to the determination of step S1003.

  In step S1003, if it is the probability variation special mode, the Nth normal history information (end time, end driving number, end payout number, normal difference ball number, accumulated start number at the end, start number in the normal mode (at the end time) (The cumulative start number of times-the cumulative start number at the start)) is recorded (step S1006). The Nth time in the probability variation special prize mode is integrated (step S1007), and the Nth probability variation special prize history information (start time, start placement number, start payout number) is recorded (step S1008).

  The number of difference balls in the probability variation special mode is integrated (step S1009). Here, the absolute value of the number of shots-the number of payouts may be integrated, or the number of payouts-the number of shots may be integrated because the number of payouts increases in the probability variation special prize mode. It is determined whether or not a special prize (in this case, a jackpot) is won in the probability variation special prize mode (step S1010), and if it is a jackpot, the n-th win at the jackpot is integrated (step S1011), and the n-th jackpot History information (start time, start placement number, start payout number, probability variation special mode Nth) is recorded (step S1012). The number of the big hit difference balls (the number of payouts-the number of driving) is integrated (step S1013), and it is determined whether or not the big hit state has ended (step S1014). If the big hit state has not ended, the process returns to step S1013. If the jackpot state has been completed, the n-th jackpot history information (number of jackpots, end time, number of finish shots, number of finish payouts) is recorded (step S1015).

  If it is not a big win in step S1010, it is determined whether or not it is a win state (the same special prize as the big win, but a state where the number of difference balls that can be acquired is smaller than the big win) (step S1016), and if it is not won Return to step S1009. If the player has won, the n1st hitting time is accumulated (step S1017), and the n1th hitting history information (start time, start driving number, start payout number, probability variation special mode Nth) is recorded. (Step S1018). The number of difference balls per hit (the number of payouts—the number of driving-in) is integrated (step S1019), and it is determined whether or not the small hit state has ended (step S1020). If the small hit state has not ended, the process returns to step S1019. If the small hit state has been completed, the n1th small hit history information (number of small hits, end time, number of end shots, number of end payouts) is recorded (step S1021), and the process returns to step S1009.

  When the n-th jackpot history information is recorded in step S1015, it is determined whether or not the probability variation special mode has ended (step S1022). If the probability variation special mode has not ended, the process returns to step S1009. If the probability variation award mode has been completed, the Nth probability variation award history information (end time, number of finished shots, number of payouts, the number of jackpots in the Nth probability variation award mode, the number of small hits in the Nth probability variation award mode) , The probability variation special prize difference number) is recorded (step S1023), and the process returns to step S1001.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a specific operation of the display device according to the second embodiment. The processing from step S1101 to step S1123 is almost the same as the processing from step S1001 to step S1023 in FIG. 10, but the number of times N after step S1106 (after the state of the probable variation special mode), the integrated value, history information, and the like. It is recorded as a provisional value.

  In step S1123, when the N-th probability variation special prize history information is recorded as a provisional value, it is determined whether or not the probability variation special prize difference ball number is equal to or greater than a set value (step S1124). If the probability variation special prize difference number is equal to or larger than the set value, the Nth probability variation special prize history information is recorded with the recorded provisional value as a final value (step S1125), and the process returns to step S1101.

  When the number of probability variation special prize difference balls is less than the set value, the Nth probability variation special prize history information as a provisional value is used as the m-th second probability variation special prize history information (the number of times of winning in the second probability variation special prize mode, the start time) , Start shot number, start payout number, end time, end drive number, end payout number, second probability variation special ball difference number (the difference ball number in the certain variation special prize mode when the set value is not met), start number ( The cumulative value of the Nth normal start count at the start or end of the second probability variation award mode), the number of balls that differ when the second probability variation award mode occurs (the time when the second probability variation award mode starts, Or the cumulative value of the N-th normal difference ball number at the end time))) (step S1126). The Nth probability variation special prize history information as a provisional value is cleared (step S1127). Normal history information for the Nth time as a provisional value (end time, number of finishes to be dispensed, number of finish payouts, number of normal difference balls, number of starts in the normal mode (cumulative start number at the end−cumulative start number at the start)) Is cleared, the process returns to step S1103, and the normal N-th integration process is continued.
