Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine or a slot machine, and allows a specific effect stored in advance to be executed only when a predetermined condition is satisfied, or is executed after a predetermined condition is satisfied. It relates to a gaming machine that can be disabled.

  Conventionally, a slot machine (Patent Document 1) in which a specific effect is set in a gaming machine with a ban date and stored in a gaming machine and the specific effect is banned based on calendar information of a real-time clock (RTC). A pachinko machine (Patent Document 2) is known.

  According to these Patent Documents 1 and 2, a specific effect that is not executed at the beginning of the installation of the gaming machine can be experienced as an effect for the first time on the ban date after a certain period of time has elapsed since the installation. It is possible to maintain interest in a specific performance over a period of time.

  In addition, in conventional gaming machines, a specific effect is executed at predetermined time intervals based on the power-on time using the clocking function of the real-time clock, so that the same kind of gaming machines installed on the gaming island can be used together. A specific performance is also executed.

JP 2014-113382 A JP 2014-158631 A

These conventional technologies allow specific effects to be executed depending on the date and time, or specific effects are executed all at once at a certain time of day. There is a problem that the entertainment is killed because it cannot be enjoyed, and there is also a problem that it is uncomfortable that the simultaneous production is performed even in a vacant stand where the game is not performed.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to suitably execute a specific effect stored in advance in a gaming machine.

The gaming machine of the present invention made to achieve the above object consumes a predetermined game medium and plays a game, and when a predetermined start condition is satisfied, a symbol variation is started and a predetermined end condition is satisfied. A game machine that sometimes stops the symbol variation and can cause an advantageous gaming state according to the combination of the symbols stopped, and the effect data selected from the effect data stored in advance in the effect data storage means And an effect control means for executing an effect by the effect executing means, and further comprising the following configuration.
(1) for at least a portion of said effect data, along with setting the at least one executable conditions or infeasibility conditions relative to the cumulative value for the game medium, the pre Kirui meter value measured, whether the setting for that part of the effect data is satisfied, while being configured so as to determine on the basis of the cumulative values, measures the total value for each of a plurality of measurement periods, the plurality Based on the cumulative value measured for each measurement period, the determination is performed for each period.

Similarly, the gaming machine of the present invention, which has been made to achieve the above object, plays a game by consuming a predetermined game medium, starts a symbol variation when a predetermined start condition is satisfied, and satisfies a predetermined end condition. An effect selected from the effect data stored in advance in the effect data storage means, which is a gaming machine capable of causing the advantageous game state to be generated according to the combination of the stopped symbols when the symbol variation is stopped In addition to providing an effect control means for executing an effect by the effect executing means using the data, it further includes the following configuration.
(2) above for the at least part of the effect data, along with setting the at least one executable conditions or infeasibility conditions relative to the total value about the execution of the symbol variation, the results of measurement wherein with the configuration for some effect data is configured so as to determine whether or not it is satisfied on the basis of, the cumulative value is measured for each of a plurality of measurement periods, measured for each the plurality of measurement periods Based on the cumulative value, it is configured to execute the determination for each period.

  According to these gaming machines of the present invention, the enabling condition based on the accumulated work history value reflecting the working state of the gaming machine with respect to at least a part of the effect data stored in advance in the effect data storage means Alternatively, it is possible to set a disabling condition. Here, the production data for which the enabling condition has been set is prohibited from being selected as a production until the actual work history cumulative value reaches a certain value, and conversely, the production data for which the execution impossible condition has been set is When the cumulative history value reaches a certain value, selection as an effect is prohibited. As a result, not all the production data stored in advance in the production data storage means can be executed at any time. Production data to be prohibited (hereinafter referred to as “specific production data”) can be provided.

  In these gaming machines of the present invention, on the basis of the actual work history accumulated value measured for the gaming machine, it becomes a working state in which the enabling condition or the disabling condition set for the specific effect data is satisfied. It is determined whether or not. Then, among the production data stored in the production data storage means, “(A) production data in which neither the enabling condition nor the non-executable condition is set” or “(B) the enabling condition is set. Among the “specific effect data whose actual work history cumulative value satisfies the condition” and “(C) the specific effect data whose actual operation history cumulative value does not satisfy the condition although the execution disablement condition is set” Therefore, data used for production is selected. In addition, regarding the specific effect data of (B), “(B1) the specific effect data set to be executed immediately when the execution enabling condition is satisfied” and “(B2) the execution enabling condition are satisfied, Furthermore, it is possible to provide “specific effect data of setting to be executed when another condition is satisfied”. In addition, a plurality of “other conditions” for executing the specific effect data of (B2) can be set. In addition, the specific effect data of (B) and (C) can also be configured to return to the original setting when the actual work history accumulated value reaches the next stage. In this way, according to the gaming machine of the present invention, for each gaming machine, based on the actual work history cumulative value, it can be provided with specific effect data to be executed, banned or prohibited. It is possible to suitably execute a specific effect that reflects the actual working state on the gaming machine. As a result, it is possible to execute a specific effect without causing a feeling such as “killing interest by being controlled by the date and time” or “uncomfortable feeling performed on an unmanned stand”.

  Here, as the “cumulative value related to the consumption amount of game media” measured in the gaming machine having the configuration of (1), for example, the number of out balls discharged in a pachinko machine, the number of shot balls including a winning ball, etc. Also, the number of coins consumed in the slot machine can be raised. And, for example, a specific measuring means can be realized by installing an arithmetic processing program that accumulates and stores detection signals such as ball discharge sensors and coin discharge sensors in the control device of the gaming machine, A specific determination means is realized by installing, in the control device of the gaming machine, an arithmetic processing program that reads the cumulative value at every predetermined timing and compares the execution value with the execution enablement condition or the execution disablement condition. A specific setting change unit can be realized by installing in the control device an arithmetic processing program that rewrites the status information of the specific effect data stored in the effect data storage unit based on the determination result. be able to.

  In addition, examples of the “cumulative value related to the execution of the symbol variation game” measured in the gaming machine having the configuration of (2) include the number of winning winnings in the pachinko machine and the number of lever operations in the slot machine. For example, a specific measuring means can be realized by installing an arithmetic processing program that accumulates and stores detection signals such as a start winning switch and a lever operation detection switch in the control device of the gaming machine. A specific determination means is realized by installing in the control device of the gaming machine a calculation processing program that reads the cumulative value at every predetermined timing and compares it with the enabling condition or the disabling condition. A specific setting change means can be realized by installing in the control device an arithmetic processing program that rewrites the status information of the specific effect data stored in the effect data storage means based on the determination result. can do.

  These “cumulative value related to game media consumption” and “cumulative value related to the execution of the symbol variation game” all reflect whether or not the gaming machine is operating more.

  Therefore, according to these gaming machines of the present invention, by setting the “executable enablement condition”, a specific performance can be lifted earlier as more games are executed, or more games are played. By executing this, it is possible to generate a specific effect frequently, thereby enhancing the interest of the player, and as a result, the operating rate of the gaming machine can be improved. In addition, when a specific performance is executed, an effect of transmitting the actual working state of the gaming machine to the player is also exerted. For example, information such as a table that often turns or a table that often hits a specific effect is displayed. It is also possible to notify by the type and frequency of occurrence. On the other hand, by setting the “infeasibility disable condition”, a specific effect is not executed when more games are executed, and similarly, information such as a table that often turns or a table that hits well. Can also be notified.

  Here, if the "setting for enabling or disabling execution conditions for each piece of presentation data is made for multiple pieces of presentation data", the stage changes in stages according to the actual work history. It can also be made. For example, the higher the availability factor, the easier it is to generate a flashy notice effect or a flashy reach effect, rather than being determined only by the distribution probability of the effect set in the symbol variation game, It is also possible to give a change reflecting the actual working state of each gaming machine. In addition, if the setting is made such that the actual work history cumulative value differs between the execution enablement condition and the non-executable condition for the same production data, the actual operation state is low depending on the actual operation history. It is also possible to realize a specific effect such that, when the actual operating state increases to a certain stage, it starts to be executed, and when the actual operating state further increases, it is not executed again.

Further, these gaming machines of the present invention can further have the following configuration.
(3) It is configured to set a measurement period in which the actual work history cumulative value is measured, and to execute the determination based on the actual work history cumulative value measured within the measurement period.

  By providing the configuration of (3), it is determined whether or not the execution enabling condition or the execution disabling condition is satisfied, based on the actual work history cumulative value measured within the set measurement period. For example, if one day is set as the measurement period, it can be a gaming machine that releases or executes a specific effect every day, reflecting the actual working state in the day.

In addition, the gaming machine having the configuration (3) can further have the following configuration.
(4) The plurality of measurement periods are configured to be settable, the actual work history accumulated value is measured for each of the plurality of measurement periods, and each period is determined based on the actual work history accumulated value measured for each of the plurality of measurement periods. The system is configured to execute the determination.

  By providing the configuration of (4), for example, if the first measurement period and the second measurement period are set, it can be executed based on the accumulated work history value for the first measurement period, or lifted. And a first specific effect that is executed or prohibited, and a second specific effect that is executed, banned, or prohibited based on the accumulated work history value for the second measurement period. it can. Of course, three or more measurement periods can be set. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a specific effect that reflects the daily working state and a specific effect that reflects the longer working state. Of course, a day can be divided into multiple measurement periods, such as in the morning and afternoon.

  In gaming machines that can perform these “measurement period settings”, “when the set measurement period has elapsed, the accumulated actual work history value measured so far is reset and set as a result of the determination. It is also possible to provide a “configuration in which the production data changed is returned to the original setting”. If such a configuration is also provided, for example, once the banned performance data is returned to the state where the ban is not lifted when the measurement period has passed, or the production data once banned has passed the measurement period. In some cases, it is possible to return to an uninhibited state.

Further, these gaming machines of the present invention can further have the following configuration.
(5) Recognizing a player who is playing a game in the gaming machine, measuring the accumulated work history value for each recognized player, and based on the accumulated work history value measured for each player. It is configured to execute a judgment.

  (5) A gaming machine having the configuration of (5) may execute, ban, or prohibit a specific performance in units of players, not in units of gaming machines, by measuring the accumulated work history value for each recognized player. Can do.

  Here, as a player recognition method, a method of inputting a user ID at the start of the game can be exemplified. Also, if you can not recognize who you are, such as a method of recognizing that a player has changed by inserting or removing cards for renting or accumulating game media, you can recognize that the player has changed It ’s enough. Also in these cases, for example, a specific player recognition means can be realized by installing an arithmetic processing program for performing ID registration, card insertion / removal monitoring and the like in the control device of the gaming machine. .

Further, these gaming machines of the present invention can further have the following configuration.
(6) Recognizing whether or not a game is being continuously executed in the gaming machine, measuring the actual work history cumulative value for each game recognized as being continued, and measuring for each ongoing game The determination is made based on the accumulated actual work history value.

  The gaming machine having the configuration of (6) measures the actual work history accumulated value while the game is continuing, thereby generating a specific production situation between a good base with a customer and a bad base with a customer. A difference can be provided. An example of a method of recognizing whether or not the game continues is based on whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the display of the demo screen for waiting for a customer has been entered. In addition, a method of recognizing that the game is not continued by taking out the game card can be adopted. Also for these, for example, a specific game continuation can be achieved by installing an arithmetic processing program for monitoring a demonstration screen display state, a driving state of a firing motor, a card insertion / removal state, etc. in a control device of a gaming machine. Recognition means can be realized.

  In the gaming machine having the configuration of (1), “(11) Configuration of measuring the cumulative value related to the execution of the symbol variation in addition to the cumulative value related to the consumption amount of the game medium as the cumulative value of actual work history” On the other hand, in the gaming machine having the configuration of (2), “(12) Cumulative value related to consumption of the game medium in addition to the cumulative value related to the execution of the symbol variation as the actual work history cumulative value meter” It is also possible to set it as “a configuration that also measures”. As described above, both the “cumulative value related to game media consumption” and the “cumulative value related to the execution of symbol variation” reflect whether or not the gaming machine is operating more frequently. This is because it may be possible to measure the actual working history cumulative value.

  As the “cumulative value related to the execution of symbol variation”, the “cumulative value of the number of times symbol variation has been performed” may be adopted, or the “cumulative value of the number of times that the advantageous gaming state has been achieved” or “advantageous gaming state”. It is also possible to adopt the “cumulative value of the number of times that did not become”

  In the conventional technology, the information that “a specific performance will be executed after a certain number of minutes” is also information that kills the player who wants to enjoy the specific performance and that he / she will have to wait for a long time. I can not. On the other hand, as described above, if the “cumulative value of the number of times the symbol variation is executed” is adopted, the player can know the execution execution time as the remaining symbol variation number, so if it is a pachinko machine, it will be faster. With more start-up prizes, the slot machine hopes that if you digest more games faster, you will be able to see that particular production, and give you the consciousness of actively participating in the execution of the specific production. , Which leads to improvement of interest. Adopting the “cumulative value of the number of times the player has entered an advantageous game state” creates a new interest in which the player's own skill influences the execution of a specific performance in addition to the expectation of winning and the improvement of interest by winning. Let On the other hand, if the “cumulative value of the number of times that the game was not in the advantageous gaming state” is adopted, even if it is out of play, if it continues to play, the execution of the specific performance can be accelerated, The game can be continued from the interest that the player himself controls the execution of the specific performance. With these actions and effects, the operating rate of the gaming machine can be improved.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to suitably execute a specific effect stored in advance in the gaming machine.

[3.2 Configuration of main control board storage unit]
As shown in FIG. 4 (A), the main control board 310 detects up to four special figure 1 determination random numbers acquired by the input of the detection signal from the special figure 1 switch SW1, and detects the special figure 2 switch SW2. A special figure 1 reservation storage unit 311 and a special figure 2 reservation storage unit 312 are provided in the RAM in order to store a maximum of four special figure 2 determination random numbers acquired in response to a signal input. . The special figure 1 hold storage unit 311 and the special figure 2 hold storage unit 312 store start hold information according to the random number acquisition order. In the present embodiment, when reading the start hold information, the special figure 1 hold storage unit 311 and the special figure 2 hold storage unit 312 are read out in order from the earliest random number storage order.

  The special figure 1 determination random number and the special figure 2 determination random number are respectively “win / miss determination random number (random number 1)”, “special map distribution determination random number (random number 2)”, and “production execution determination random number”. (Random number 3) ”and“ variation pattern distribution random number (random number 4) ”. The random number 1 is acquired by hardware logic with the input of the special figure switch detection signal, and the random numbers 2 to 4 are acquired by software logic with the input of the special figure switch detection signal.

  In the determination process executed at a predetermined timing, the main control board 310 determines “big hit” when the random number 1 matches a preset “big hit determination value”, and otherwise determines “missing”. . The special figure allocation determination random number (random number 2) is a random number for distributing the jackpot type such as the number of rounds of the special game. The effect execution determination random number (random number 3) is a random number for determining whether or not to perform reach effect. The reach effect is configured to be executed at a predetermined rate not only in the case of “winning” but also in “out of”. The variation pattern distribution random number (random number 4) is a random number for distributing the variation pattern.

  If the random number 1 results in a “big hit”, the big hit type is assigned according to the random number 2, for example, “2R”, “7R”, “15R”, etc. . “2R”, “7R”, and “15R” mean the number of rounds of the special game. In the present embodiment, in the case of “2R”, the game mode is such that the big winning opening is opened and closed only for a short time, and substantial play cannot be expected.

  In addition, in the distribution based on the random number 2, even if the number of “big hit” rounds is 15, (1) “long-time opening operation” that opens the special prize opening 15 for 30 seconds is set to 15 times per round. Mode of special game to be executed, (2) Up to halfway rounds (for example, 7 rounds) are composed of “long open operation” rounds, and for the remaining rounds, the special prize opening 15 is set for a short time (for example, several seconds or 1 second) The following is a special game mode configured by “short-time release operation”, and (3) a special game mode configured by all of the above 15 “short-time release operation”. It can also be. In addition, a configuration in which multiple types of “variable state” after the special game end are set to multiple types such as 40 times, 70 times, 100 times, etc., and “hit type determination” is performed for distribution to any of these. It can also be provided.

  The random number 3 is used to determine the presence / absence of “out of reach” in the special figure starting process described later when the random number 1 is “out of”. In the present embodiment, when the random number 1 is “winning”, the reach effect is executed, so the random number 3 is substantially meaningless.

  The “variation pattern” distributed by the random number 4 determines the “length of variation time”. In the present embodiment, as a variation pattern table for determining this variation pattern, as shown in FIG. 4B, a variation pattern table 315 for a normal state and a variation pattern table 316 for a variation state, It is stored in the ROM of the main control board 310. Here, the average variation time T = T0 in the variation pattern table 315 for the normal state and the average variation time T1 in the variation pattern table 316 for the variation state are set to have a relationship of T0> T1.

[3.3 Configuration of production control board storage unit]
The effect control board 320 is provided with effect data storage means 325 for sound effects, display effects, light emission effects, and movable object effects. In the effect data storage means 325, as shown in FIG. 5A, the effect data DH during the variation game executed during the special symbol variation game, the effect data DV during the big hit executed during the jackpot game, and the demonstration The demonstration effect data DM to be executed at the same time, and the decorative symbol variation effect data DKZ for displaying the decorative symbol variation game according to the variation pattern executed in the special symbol variation game are stored.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (B), the variation game effect data DHn includes background display data (DHn1), character display data (DHn2), light emission effect data (DHn3), sound effect data (DHn4), And movable body effect data (DHn5). Here, for example, if it is an effect that does not execute the movable body effect, DHn5 becomes blank data. The jackpot effect data DV and the demonstration effect data DM are also the background display data, the character display data, the light effect data, the sound effect data, and the movable object effect, just like the change game effect data DH. It is constituted by a part or a plurality of combinations or all combinations of data.

  The jackpot medium effect data DV includes DV1, DV2,... According to the jackpot type. Similarly, the demonstration data DM during the demonstration includes a plurality of patterns for demo 1 (DM1), demo 2 (DM2),.

  The decorative symbol variation effect data DKZ is data corresponding to a variation pattern instructed based on the result of the lottery by the main control board 310, such as normal deviation, per normal, out of reach, per reach, out of super reach, per super reach, etc. It is remembered. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the normal state decorative pattern change effect data DKZa corresponding to the decorative pattern change time corresponding to the normal state change pattern table 315 and the decorative pattern change corresponding to the variable state change pattern table 316 are provided. The time-varying decorative design variation effect data DKZb, which is the time, is stored in the effect data storage means 325 of the effect control board 320.

  The display control board 370 superimposes the decorative design variation effect data DKZ corresponding to the variation pattern so as to be superimposed on the background image displayed on the liquid crystal display device LCD in accordance with the background display data DHn1 instructed from the effect control substrate 320. indicate. In this display effect, if character display data DHn2 is present, an effect of displaying the character image in an overlapping manner is also executed.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the variation game effect data DH does not correspond to the variation pattern on a one-to-one basis. And it becomes the structure determined by the production | presentation control board side by distribution from some. Similarly, the decorative symbol variation effect data DKZ has a one-to-one correspondence with the variation time 1 for the variation pattern 1, for example. As shown in FIG. 1b,... Is determined on the side of the production control board by sorting among a plurality. These sortable production data DH and decorative design variation patterns are configured such that a reliability group is formed, such as a group that is easy to distribute when the variation pattern is a big hit, a group that is difficult to distribute when it is out of place, and a reverse group. The distribution probability is set to.

[4 Specific production data]
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5 (A), different specific effect data DHsp, DVsp, DMsp are further used as the effect data DH during the variable game, the effect data DV during the big hit, and the effect data DM during the demonstration. I remember it. These specific effect data DHsp, DVsp, DMsp are set with banning conditions, execution conditions, and prohibition conditions as shown in FIG.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5C, for the variation specific effect data DHspn that can be selected as the data for effect during the variable game, “the jackpot cumulative number of times: Xn times” as the “unlocking condition” “Super reach” is set as “execution condition”, and “when closed” is set as “prohibition condition”. As a result, the variation specific effect data DHspn is not selected as an effect for super reach in the early hours when the store is opened, but the total number of jackpots for the gaming machine is Xn times during the business day. It will be “unlocked” when it becomes, and can be selected when super-reach occurs thereafter. Then, when “closed”, the “prohibition condition” is satisfied, and therefore, the state before the prohibition, which cannot be selected again, is restored.

  Similarly, as shown in FIG. 5C, for the jackpot specific effect data DVspn that can be selected as the data for the jackpot effect, “the special figure variation cumulative number of times: Yn times” is set as the “execution condition” as the “banning condition”. "Big jackpot" is set as the "prohibited condition", and "When closed" is set as the "Prohibit condition". As a result, although the jackpot specific effect data DVspn is set not to be selected as a jackpot effect in the early hours when the store is opened, the cumulative number of special figure fluctuations is Yn times on the game machine during the business day. When it becomes, it is “unlocked” and can be selected in the subsequent jackpot production. Then, when “closed”, the “prohibition condition” is satisfied, and therefore, the state before the prohibition, which cannot be selected again, is restored.

  Similarly, as shown in FIG. 5C, for demonstration specific effect data DMspn that can be selected as demo effect data, “cumulative number of balls discharged: Zn” as “banning condition” and “execution condition” “Every Zm discharge” is set, and the “prohibition condition” is set to “none”. As a result, although the demonstration specific effect data DMspn is not executed in the early stage of introduction of the gaming machine, it is “unlocked” when the number of balls discharged from the gaming machine reaches Zn, and thereafter becomes “Zm discharged”. Executed when. In this example, in particular, since the “prohibition condition” is set to “none”, the demonstration specific effect is repeatedly executed “every Zm discharges” after the release of the prohibition.

  In addition, if the “banning condition: Zn” of the demonstration specific effect is set based on, for example, the number of balls discharged in one week in a normal actual working state, the demonstration specific effect is released in about one week. It can be. This setting of “unlocking in about a week” comes sooner for gaming machines with more customers and more working. Therefore, the specific effects for demonstration will be lifted earlier as the gaming machines with better customers and working more frequently.

  Also, if “execution condition: Zm” is set based on the number of balls discharged in one hour in a normal working state, the demonstration specific effect can be executed “about every hour” after the opening of the ban. Also in this case, the execution timing of the demonstration specific effect arrives earlier as the gaming machine with a better customer and more working. Therefore, the more specific gaming machines with customers, the more specific operations for demonstration can be executed at shorter intervals.

[5 Control processing of main control board]
[5.1 Award ball payout]
When the main control board 310 receives a winning detection signal from the special switch SW1, SW2 and the winning detection sensors SW7, SW11 to SW14 by the control system shown in FIG. 6A, a prize ball corresponding to each switch is received. A prize ball payout process for outputting a prize ball payout command corresponding to the number of payouts to the payout control board 330 is executed. In response to this, the payout control board 330 executes a payout operation of a predetermined number of prize balls corresponding to the winning holes of the game balls.

  This prize ball payout control is executed as an arithmetic processing routine as shown in FIG. 6B, and it is determined whether or not a detection signal from the switch SW1 or the like has been input (S10). Then, a prize ball payout signal specifying the sensor is outputted to the payout control board 330 (S20).

[5.2 Special drawing input]
Further, the main control board 310 acquires a random number for determining a special symbol when a detection signal from any of the special figure switches SW1 and SW2 is input by the control system shown in FIG. A special figure input process for storing the result in the RAM as start hold information is executed.

  In this embodiment, a maximum of four pieces of start hold information (hereinafter referred to as “special drawing 1 start hold information”) based on a detection signal by the special figure 1 switch SW1 as the start hold information, and a detection signal by the special figure 2 switch SW2. Can hold up to four start hold information (hereinafter referred to as “special figure 2 start hold information”), and can store up to eight start hold information in the normal gaming state. Yes.

  The special figure input process in this embodiment is executed as an arithmetic processing routine as shown in FIG. 7B. First, it is determined whether or not the detection signal from the special figure 1 switch SW1 is inputted (S110). When the detection signal from the special figure 1 switch SW1 is input (S110: YES), the number N1 of special figure 1 start hold information (hereinafter referred to as "special figure 1 hold number N1") is less than 4. Is determined (S120). If N1 <4 (S120: YES), the special figure 1 hold number N1 is incremented (S130), the above-mentioned random numbers 1 to 4 are acquired, and stored in the start hold information storage area of the RAM (S140).

  When S110 is “NO”, it is determined whether or not a detection signal from the special figure 2 switch SW2 is input (S150). When S150 becomes “YES”, it is determined whether or not the number N2 of special figure 2 start hold information (hereinafter referred to as “special figure 2 hold number N2”) is less than 4 (S160). If N2 <4 (S160: YES), the special figure 2 hold number N2 is incremented (S170), the above-mentioned random numbers 1 to 4 are acquired, and stored in the start hold information storage area of the RAM (S180).

  The start hold information is transmitted from the main control board 310 to the effect control board 320, and is reflected in the hold icon display performed via the liquid crystal display device LCD. In addition, it is reflected also on the hold display currently implemented via the special figure indicator TKZ as control processing by the main control board 310. FIG. As a result, the player can play the game while grasping how the reserved number increases.

[5.3 Start of special drawing]
Next, the special figure start process will be described. The main control board 310 reads the start suspension information stored in the RAM by the control system shown in FIG. 8A, and causes the special symbol display TKZ to execute the special symbol variation corresponding to the “hit / miss”. The display effect (background, character, etc.), sound effect, light emission effect, movable object effect, etc. are executed via the effect control board 320.

  The main control board 310 executes a special figure starting process as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 8B every predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment). In this process, it is first determined whether or not a game effect (symbol variation or special game) is being executed (S210). If a game effect is being executed (S210: YES), the current process is terminated. To do. On the other hand, when the game effect is not being executed (S210: NO), it is determined whether or not start hold information is stored in a predetermined storage area in the RAM (S220). If the start hold information is not stored (S220: NO), it is determined whether or not the demonstration effect is being executed (S230). If the demonstration effect is being executed, the process is terminated (S230: YES), and the demonstration effect is performed. If not being executed (S230: NO), the demonstration control board 320 is commanded to start the demonstration effect (S240).

  If the start hold information is stored (S220: YES), it is determined whether or not the start hold information in the storage order is the special figure 1 start hold information (S250). If it is special figure 1 start hold information (S250: YES), the special figure 1 storage number N1 is decremented (S260), and the start hold information (random number 1 to random number 4) in the earliest storage order is read (S270). . As a result, the storage order of the start hold information in the storage area in the RAM is updated, and the hold display implemented via the special-purpose display TKZ and the liquid crystal display device LCD is also updated.

  It is determined whether or not the random number 1 in the special figure 1 start hold information read in this way matches the jackpot determination value stored in the ROM of the main control board 310 (S310).

  When the determination result of the big hit determination is affirmative (S310: YES), “1” is set to the big hit flag indicating that the change is a big hit (S320). Then, based on the value of random number 2, the main control board 310 determines the “big hit symbol” to be confirmed and stopped on the special symbol display TKZ (S330). Here, the value of the random number 2 is associated with a jackpot symbol corresponding to the allocation rate of the hit type for the special figure 1 start hold information. Therefore, the main control board 310 determines the jackpot symbol associated with the read random number 2 value in the process of S330. When the jackpot symbol (special symbol) is determined, one variation pattern is determined from the “variation patterns for jackpot effect” based on the value of the random number 4 (S340).

  If the determination result of the jackpot determination in S310 is negative (S310: NO), the main control board 310 determines whether or not to execute the reach effect based on the random number 3 in the special figure 1 start hold information read in S270. Is determined (S350). In the present embodiment, the main control board 310 determines in S350 depending on whether or not the value of the random number 3 matches the reach effect execution determination value stored in the ROM. If the determination result in S350 is affirmative (when a reach effect is performed), the main control board 310 determines a “offset symbol” to be confirmed and stopped on the special-figure indicator TKZ (S335). Based on the value, one variation pattern is determined from the “variation patterns for outlier reach production” (S345).

  In addition, when the determination result of reach determination in S350 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control board 310 determines the “offset symbol” that is to be confirmed and stopped on the special figure display TKZ ( S338). Next, the main control board 310 determines one variation pattern from the “variation patterns for off-stage effects” based on the value of the random number 4 (S348).

  The main control board 310 that has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol in this manner outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control board 320 at a predetermined timing (S360). Specifically, main control board 310 designates a variation pattern, outputs a variation pattern designation command for instructing the start of symbol variation, and starts measuring the production time specified by the variation pattern. At the same time, the main control board 310 controls the special figure display 350 so as to start the special figure fluctuation display. In addition, the main control board 310 outputs a special figure designation command for instructing a special symbol to be a final stop symbol. Thus, the main control board 310 ends the special figure start process. Thereafter, in a process different from the special figure start process, the main control board 310 causes the special figure display unit TKZ to display the determined final stop symbol based on the production time determined in the designated variation pattern. Control display content. In addition, the main control board 310 instructs the effect control board 320 to stop changing the decorative drawing based on the effect time set in the specified change pattern, and displays all symbols for displaying the combination of symbols fixedly stopped. Output a stop command.

  On the other hand, if the start hold information in the earliest storage order is not the special figure 1 start hold information (S250: NO), it is determined whether it is the special figure 2 start hold information (S255). If it is special figure 2 start hold information (S255: YES), the special figure 2 storage number N2 is decremented (S265), and the start hold information in the earliest storage order is read (S275). Thereafter, the special figure 2 variation display process (S400) is executed. The special figure 2 variation display process of S400 is configured in the same manner as S310 to S360. Note that the jackpot type distribution probability based on the random number 2 in the step corresponding to S330 is more advantageous to the player than the special figure 1 start hold information. In this special figure starting process, the memory is digested in order from the one with the highest storage order.

  Here, the normal symbol winning probability is almost 0% in the normal state and almost 100% in the variable state, and the normal electric accessory opening / closing pattern in the normal state is difficult to actually enter and fluctuates. Due to the long time, it is difficult to obtain special figure 2 start hold information even if it is right-handed in a normal state. Therefore, the player plays the game left-handed and accumulates special figure 1 start hold information. While playing the game. As a result, in the normal state, the special figure start process proceeds in such a manner that the special figure 1 start hold information is read in accordance with the storage order and the determination or the like is executed.

  On the other hand, if the special figure judgment is a big hit and the game state after the end of the special game that accompanies the big win is given a change, the setting of the normal symbol winning probability of almost 100% and the short normal symbol change time setting, opening time By setting the long opening / closing pattern, it is easy for the second start opening 27 to easily enter the ball continuously, and it becomes easy to accumulate the special figure 2 start hold information. The pachinko machine P of this embodiment is in a state where it is easy to win a special winning opening 15 by right-handing a special game that is a big hit, and executes a right-handed suggestion navigation display on the liquid crystal display device LCD or the like. According to this right-handed navigation display, the player plays a right-handed game while the special game is being executed. If a change is given, the player will continue to make a right turn after the special game, and the player will continue to make a right turn, and the game will be advantageously executed while accumulating special figure 2 start hold information. can do. As a result, in the gaming state to which the change is given, after the special figure 1 start hold information that has been put on hold immediately before the execution of the special game is first digested, the special figure 2 start hold information is read according to the storage order. Then, the special figure start process proceeds in such a manner that the determination or the like is performed.

  In addition, when the game state to which the change is given is started, it can also be configured to preferentially digest the special figure 2 start hold information. In this case, when returning to the normal state, the special figure start process proceeds in such a manner that the special figure 1 start hold information disappears after the special figure 2 start hold information no longer exists.

[5.4 Normal symbol input / judgment]
Next, the normal symbol lottery will be described. The main control board 310 performs normal symbol lottery when the detection signal from the normal switch SW37 is input by the control system shown in FIG. 9A, and opens and closes the solenoid SOL27 of the second start winning device 27. Execute the command. Ordinary symbols can also be reserved and stored up to four.

  The random number for normal determination is composed of “random number for hit determination (random number 5)” and “random number for open / close pattern distribution determination (random number 6)”. The hit determination random number (random number 5) is a random number for determining whether or not the hit is true, and is an open / close pattern distribution determination random number (random number) that is acquired by hardware logic triggered by the input of a normal switch detection signal. 6) is a random number for determining one of a plurality of opening / closing patterns with different opening times and opening / closing times in the case of “winning”, and is triggered by the input of the normal switch detection signal by software logic. To be acquired.

  The “decision value per common figure” to be compared with the random number 5 is stored in the ROM of the main control board 310. This normal hit determination value is set so that the hit probability ≈ 1 in both the normal state and the variable state. The “open / close pattern” distributed by the random number 6 is also stored in the ROM of the main control board 310 for each of the normal state and the variable state. The “open / close pattern” has a longer open time than the open / close patterns 1a and 2a that can be selected per normal map in the normal state and the open / close patterns 1b and 2b that can be selected per normal map in the normal state. It is set to increase the number of times. In addition, the opening times of the opening / closing patterns 1a and 2a in the normal state are extremely short, and it is difficult to substantially enter the second start winning hole 27. On the contrary, the opening / closing patterns 1b and 2b in the variable state are set with an opening time that is long enough to make it easy to enter the second start winning opening 27.

  This normal symbol lottery is given by the game ball passing through the gate 37 installed on the right side of the game area. However, as described above, in the normal state, the open / close pattern is difficult to win substantially. Therefore, even if it is right-handed, almost no support can be obtained by opening and closing the ordinary electric accessory at the second start winning prize opening 27. On the other hand, when in the variable speed state, it is easy to enter a ball by an open / close pattern with a long open time. You can get support.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, the normal symbol variation time is also set to shorten the variation time, that is, the variation state is 1 second with respect to 10 seconds in the normal state. Therefore, in the short state, in addition to the normal symbol winning probability being almost 100%, the variation time in the normal symbol variation game is shortened, so that regular symbols are won one after another. It can be in a state where the support by the ordinary electric accessory is generated almost continuously.

  As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 9B, the normal symbol input process is started when a detection signal from the general symbol switch SW37 is input (S510), and the normal symbol holding information storage number N37 (hereinafter referred to as “normal”). It is determined whether or not the symbol holding storage number N37 ") is less than 4 (S520). If N37 <4 (S520: YES), the normal symbol reserved memory number N37 is incremented (S530), and if “NO”, the process is terminated without proceeding to acquisition of a random number for normal symbol determination. When the process proceeds to random number acquisition, a random number 5 and a random number 6 for determining “win / loss” are acquired (S540), and stored in the normal symbol hold storage unit 315 of the RAM (S550).

  In the normal symbol determination process, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 9C, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol hold information is stored in the RAM (S610). The first random number 5 is read from the one with the earlier storage order (S620).

  Subsequently, a determination of “hit / miss” is executed (S630). If it is determined as “winning” (S630: YES), a winning symbol lottery is performed based on the random number 6 (S640), and a winning symbol and an opening / closing pattern corresponding to the winning symbol are determined. Thereafter, after the variation time has elapsed (S650: YES), the winning symbol determined in S640 is determined in the normal symbol variation game (S660). This normal symbol variation game is executed in the normal symbol variation display section provided in the special symbol display TKZ. When the winning symbol is determined in this way, a solenoid drive signal corresponding to the opening / closing pattern determined in S650 is output (S670). If the determination in S630 is “NO”, in the normal symbol variation game, the variation symbol is determined after waiting for the variation time to elapse (S680: YES) (S690).

  The normal symbol variation time in this normal symbol variation game differs depending on whether it is “normal state” or “shortening state”. For example, in the “normal state”, the normal symbol change time is 10 seconds, and in the “short state”, the normal symbol change time is 1 second.

[5.5 Special game execution for jackpots]
Next, a control process for executing a special game for jackpot will be described. The main control board 310 executes a special game for big hits that drives the door opening / closing solenoid SOL7 of the special winning opening 15 by the control system shown in FIG.

  In the jackpot special game execution process, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 10B, the main control board 310 waits for the timing to output a jackpot symbol fixed stop command to the special chart indicator TKZ (S710: (YES), after setting the contents of the special game corresponding to the jackpot type (S720), it is started by commanding the opening effect to the effect control board 320 (S725).

  When starting the special game, the round number RN is decremented (S730), and an ON signal for opening the door is output to the door opening / closing solenoid SOL7 (S740). Then, whether the value obtained by integrating the detection signals from the winning switch SW7 reaches a specified count (for example, 9 count) (S742: YES), or a specified time for specifying the door opening time for the round (for example, a long open round) 30 seconds) (S744: YES), an OFF signal for closing the door is output to the door opening / closing solenoid SOL7 (S750).

  When one round is completed in this way, it is determined whether or not the number of rounds RN is “0” (S760). When the round number RN is not “0” (S760: NO), the process returns to S730. On the other hand, when the number of rounds RN is “0” (S760: YES), it is determined whether or not the jackpot type corresponds to variable grant (S770). If the change is granted (S770: YES), the number of times of change Nht is set (S780).

  After the variable speed continuation number Nht is set in this manner, a variable flag is set (S790), an ending effect is commanded to the arithmetic control board 320, the jackpot flag is reset, and the process ends (S795, S797). If no change is given (S770: NO), S780 is passed and an ending command is output without setting the change flag (S795).

[5.6 Actual work history measurement]
Next, a control process for measuring the actual work history cumulative value will be described. The main control board 310 measures the cumulative value of the discharged balls, the cumulative value of the special figure fluctuation count, and the cumulative value of the jackpot count by the control system shown in FIG. doing.

  In the discharge ball number cumulative value measurement process, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 11B, when a detection signal is input from the discharge ball detection switch SW21 installed in the ball discharge passage 50 (S810: YES), the discharge ball is discharged. A process of incrementing the cumulative value Cex is executed (S820).

  In the special figure fluctuation cumulative value measurement process, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 11C, when S360 is executed in the special figure start process, S830 becomes YES, and a process of incrementing the special figure fluctuation cumulative value Cst is executed. (S840).

  In the jackpot cumulative value measurement process, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 11D, when the jackpot flag is set in S320 in the special figure start process, S850 becomes YES, and a process of incrementing the jackpot cumulative value Cv is executed. (S860).

  The accumulated emission ball value Cex, the special figure fluctuation accumulated value Cst, and the jackpot accumulated value Cv measured by these accumulated value measurement processes are stored in the actual work history accumulated value storage unit 317. The actual work history accumulated value storage unit 317 includes an EEPROM, a backup RAM, and the like, and retains stored contents even when the power is turned off. In addition to these, the actual work history cumulative value storage unit 317 also stores a cumulative value of the number of prize balls paid out, a cumulative value of the number of error occurrences, and the like. In addition to being transmitted to the hall computer 400 and used as management data, the cumulative value is also transmitted to the effect control board 320 in this embodiment.

[6 Control processing of effect control board]
[6.1 Actual work history measurement]
In the present embodiment, based on the information transmitted from the main control board 310, the actual work history cumulative value is also measured on the effect control board 320 side. The measurement of the actual work history cumulative value executed on the production control board 320 side is shown in FIG. 12A as a process for determining whether or not the production data for the specific production satisfies the banning conditions and the like. It is executed by the control system shown.

  As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 12B, the accumulated discharge ball number measurement process executed by the effect control board 320 inputs the accumulated discharge ball value Cex from the main control board 310 when the power is turned on at the opening of the store (S911). The accumulated discharge ball value Cex held on the main control board 310 side is set to the lifetime discharge ball accumulation value Cex0, and the same day discharge ball accumulation value Cex1 is reset to “0” (S912).

  Thereafter, every time the update information of the accumulated discharge ball value Cex is received (S913: YES), the lifetime accumulated ball accumulation value Cex0 and the current day discharge ball accumulation value Cex1 are incremented (S914). This process continues until the store is closed, and when the store is closed and the power is turned off (S915: YES), the lifetime discharged ball cumulative value Cex0 and the current day discharged ball cumulative value Cex1 are reset (S916).

  In the special figure fluctuation cumulative value measurement process executed by the effect control board 320, the special figure fluctuation cumulative value Cst1 on the day is reset to “0” when the power is turned on at the time of opening as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 12C (S921). ).

  Thereafter, whenever update information of the special figure fluctuation cumulative value Cst is received (S922: YES), the current day special figure fluctuation cumulative value Cst1 is incremented (S923). This process continues until the store is closed, and when the store is closed and the power is turned off (S924: YES), the current day special figure fluctuation cumulative value Cst1 is reset (S925).

  In the jackpot cumulative value measurement process executed by the effect control board 320, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 12D, the jackpot cumulative value Cv1 is reset to “0” when the power is turned on at the time of opening the store (S931).

  Thereafter, whenever the update information of the jackpot cumulative value Cv is received (S932: YES), the jackpot cumulative value Cv1 is incremented on the day (S933). This processing continues until the store is closed, and when the store is closed and the power is turned off (S934: YES), the day big hit cumulative value Cv1 is reset (S935).

[6.2 Specific production lifted]
As described above, with the control system as shown in FIG. 13A, the production control board 320 corresponds to the measurement of the actual work history accumulated value executed by the main control board 310, and also on the production control board 320 side. The actual work history cumulative value is measured. On the basis of the actual work history accumulated value thus measured, the effect control board 320 executes a control process related to the ban on the specific effect that is stored with the banning conditions and the like stored for the specific effect.

  As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 13B, the effect control board 320 determines whether or not the day-to-day cumulative accumulated value Cex1 is “0” as shown in the flowchart of FIG. (S1011) In the case of “YES”, the variation specific effect release flag is set to “OFF”, that is, the state before the release (S1012). Then, it is determined whether or not the cumulative value Cex1 on the day is equal to or greater than the banning condition Xn (S1013), and when it becomes “YES”, the banning flag is set to “ON”, that is, the effect data in the variable game Is set to a banned state in which the selection is permitted (S1014).

  As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 13 (C), the effect control board 320 determines whether or not the current day jackpot cumulative value Cex1 is “0” as shown in the flowchart of FIG. In S1021), in the case of “YES”, the jackpot specific effect release flag is set to “OFF”, that is, the state before the release (S1022). Then, it is determined whether or not the cumulative value of the jackpot Cex1 on the day is equal to or greater than the banning condition Yn (S1023), and when it becomes “YES”, the banning flag is set to “ON”, that is, as the effect data during the jackpot The banned state where selection is permitted is set (S1024).

  As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 13 (D), the effect control board 320 determines whether or not the lifetime discharged ball accumulated value Cex0 is “0” as shown in the flowchart of FIG. (S1041) In the case of “YES”, the demonstration specific effect release flag is set to “OFF”, that is, the state before the release (S1042). Then, it is determined whether or not the total discharged ball cumulative value Cex0 is equal to or greater than Zn, which is the banning condition (S1043). If “YES”, the banning flag is set to “ON”, that is, as demonstration data during the demonstration. Is in a banned state in which the selection of the item is permitted (S1034).

[6.3 Variation production]
The change effect by the effect control board 320 is executed by receiving a change command from the main control board 310 by the control system shown in FIG.

  As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 14B, the variation effect process is started by receiving a variation command when the special game is not being performed (S1110: NO, S1120: YES).

  When receiving the variation command (S1120: YES), the effect control board 320 reads the variation game effect data DH and the decorative symbol variation effect data DKZ according to the variation command (S1130). Then, a sound effect by the speaker SP, a display effect by the liquid crystal display device LCD, a light emission effect by the light emitting device LED, and a movable body effect for operating the movable body via the motor MT and the solenoid SOL are executed (S1140). Note that the effect data DH during the variable game includes, for example, a case where the data for the movable body effect is blank, and in this case, the movable body effect is not executed.

  When the all-design stop command is received from the main control board 310 (S1150: YES), the effect based on the variation game effect data DH is terminated by stopping the confirmed symbol in the decorative symbol variation effect (S1160). The final symbol stop timing in the decorative symbol variation display is synchronized with the special symbol final timing to the special symbol display 350 by the main control board 310.

  When the special control game is being played (S1110: YES), the effect control board 320 reads the jackpot effect data DV (S1210) and executes the jackpot effect processing (S1220). When it is the demonstration display timing (S1230: YES), the demonstration effect data DM is read (S1240), and the demonstration effect process is executed (S1250).

[7 Demo production]
The effect control board 320 performs the demonstration effect when the customer waiting demonstration effect is instructed from the main control board 310 by the control system shown in FIG. 15A and when it is time to execute the demonstration specific effect. Run.

  The customer waiting demonstration effect command is output on the main control board 310 side. Specifically, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 15B, when the firing is stopped (S1310: YES), and the predetermined time has passed with the firing stopped (S1320: YES), the effect control board 320 Is output as a customer waiting demonstration effect command (S1330).

  The execution timing of the demonstration specific effect is managed on the effect control board 320 side, and as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 15C, the accumulated emission value Cex1 on the day is n times Zm, which is the execution condition of the demonstration specific effect DMspn. When the result of the determination of whether or not (n is a natural number) is “YES”, it is further determined whether or not the demonstration specific effect DMspn has been lifted (S1350 → S1360), and has been lifted. If it is present (S1360: YES), it is executed by the process of turning on the demonstration specific effect execution flag (S1370).

  Then, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 15D, the production control board 320 reads the production data DM during demonstration when a customer waiting demonstration production is instructed from the main control board 310 (S1410: YES) (S1420). ), An effect during the demonstration is started (S1430). Further, when the customer waiting demonstration effect is not instructed (S1410: NO), it is determined whether or not the demonstration specific effect execution flag is ON (S1440). The specific effect data DMspn is read (S1450), and the demonstration specific effect process is executed (S1460). When the demonstration specific effect ends, the demonstration specific effect execution flag is turned off (S1470).

  Even when the customer waiting demonstration effect is started, if the demonstration specific effect execution flag is turned ON (S1430 → S1440: YES), the customer waiting demonstration effect is stopped and the demonstration specific effect is executed.

[8 effects]
According to the present embodiment, for the effect data storage means 325, “cumulative total number of times: Xn times” is set as “unlocking condition”, “super reach” is set as “execution condition”, and “when closed” is set as “prohibition condition” The variation specific effect data DHspn is stored in advance, and on the effect control board 320, the current day jackpot cumulative value Cv1 obtained by accumulating the number of jackpots reset to “0” at the time of opening the store until closing is compared with the banning condition Xn. , Cv1 <Xn can be used as a background that was prohibited from being selected, and after Cv1 ≧ Xn, a changing effect can be executed as a selectable background. Since the prohibition condition is satisfied when the store is closed, selection of the specific effect data DHspn for variation is prohibited on the next day as a super reach effect until Xn jackpots are generated again. As a result, it is possible to execute the super reach production in a manner that reflects the daily performance of the gaming machine.

  Further, in the effect data storage means 325, “Special figure cumulative number of times: Yn times” is set as “Unlock condition”, “Big hit” is set as “Execution condition”, and “Closed” is set as “Prohibition condition”. The jackpot specific effect data DVspn is also stored in advance. Then, on the effect control board 320, the special figure fluctuation cumulative value Cst1 that is accumulated until the closing time of the special figure fluctuation number reset to “0” at the time of opening the shop is compared with the banning condition Yn, and a selection is made between Cst1 <Yn. It is assumed that the jackpot effect that is prohibited is selectable after Cst1 ≧ Yn. As a result, in the so-called “Frequently Stand”, the jackpot effect as a specific effect is immediately lifted, and conversely, even if it is a so-called “Haridai” game machine, when finally hitting the jackpot From the beginning, it is possible to create a feeling of expecting to enjoy a jackpot production called premium.

  Also, in the effect data storage means 325, “cumulative number of balls discharged: Zn” is set as “unlocking condition”, and “every Zm discharges” is set as “execution condition”, and the setting of “prohibiting condition” is “ The demonstration specific effect data DMspn that is “None” is stored in advance. Then, in the production control board 320, the cumulative total of lifetime emission balls Cex0 from the time of introduction and the same day total discharge balls Cex1 from opening to closing of the store are measured. When it becomes Zn, it is lifted, and thereafter, every time the accumulated emission value Cex1 on the day reaches the execution condition Zm, a demonstration effect as a specific effect that is not simply waiting for a customer is executed. As a result, the demonstration effect using the video that cannot be enjoyed in the initial stage of the introduction can be released for each gaming machine according to the actual work history, and can be executed at intervals corresponding to the actual work history after the release. As a result, the specific demonstration effect can be executed more frequently and more quickly as the table with good customers is provided, and the uncomfortable feeling that the specific demonstration effect is executed on the empty table in the customer waiting state can be prevented.

  In addition, for example, the specific effect for the fluctuation may be set without the prohibition condition like the specific effect for the demonstration, but conversely, by providing the prohibition condition, the super reach effect is drawn with more jackpots. The prohibition conditions are effective in maintaining the freshness of enjoying the food for a long time.

  In addition, for example, it may be configured to share a specific effect for jackpots and a specific effect for demonstrations, and then ban both after operating more than a predetermined amount after introduction. By setting different history measurement periods, or setting a prohibition condition on one side, it is possible to form a state that is banned for demonstration purposes but not banned for jackpot use every day, and playing games with a fresh feeling forever Can entertain.

  In the above description, flowcharts and the like are described as in the case where there is one specific effect data each for variation, jackpot, and demonstration, so that the description is not excessively complicated or complicated. As illustrated in FIG. 5A, in the present embodiment, a plurality of specific performance data is stored, and the banning conditions are made different so that, for example, the working history is accumulated up to the first stage. Demonstration effects that will be lifted when the game is released, demonstration score effects that will be lifted when the work history is accumulated up to the second stage of operation, and so on, depending on the work history since the introduction of the gaming machine. By memorizing the specific effects to be lifted, exhibiting the effects and effects of executing these demonstration specific effects at intervals that reflect the actual working conditions of the day without losing interest while maintaining freshness. It is those that can be.

  In Example 2, the banning condition, the execution condition, and the prohibiting condition as shown in FIG. 16A are set as the jackpot specific effect data. In each of the first to third jackpot specific effect data DVsp1, DVsp2, DVsp3, “execution condition = three consecutive channels” is set. However, the first jackpot specific effect data DVsp1 includes “banning condition = at the time of opening” and “prohibited condition = 11 hits per day”, and the second jackpot specific effect data DVsp2 includes “unlocking condition = current day”. “Number of jackpots 11 times” and “Prohibition condition = 21 times of jackpots on the day” are set in the third special effect data DVsp3 for jackpots, “banning condition = number of jackpots on the day 21” and “prohibition conditions = when closed” Has been.

  As a result, according to the second embodiment, not only one of the first to third jackpot specific effects can be executed when the continuous jackpot becomes three consecutive chunks, but also the first to third jackpots. By making the banning conditions and prohibition conditions different between specific production data, the first special jackpot special production can be selected only from 3 to 10 times of jackpot from the opening of the store, between 11 times of jackpot and 20 times of jackpot Only the second jackpot specific effect can be selected, and the third jackpot specific effect can be selected at 21 or more jackpots. Here, in a state in which the first to third jackpot specific effects can be selected, these may be selected. In addition, for example, the first to third specific effect data is composed only of music data for audio effects and video data for display effects, and music and videos that can be selected by the player as effects of the big hit. It may be configured to function such that the number is increased by the ban and decreased by the ban.

  Here, in the first embodiment, the banning condition of the big win specific effect data is the actual work history cumulative value, and the prohibiting condition is a time condition of “when the store is closed”, whereas in the second embodiment, the first jackpot is the first jackpot. The specific effect data DVsp1 is prohibited under the time condition “at the time of opening” and prohibited by the accumulated work history value “11 times per day on the day”. For the second jackpot specific effect data DVsp2, both the “banning condition” and the “prohibiting condition” are set as the actual work history cumulative value of the number of jackpots on the day. For the third jackpot specific effect data DVsp3, except for the fact that the parameter of the actual work history cumulative value is “the number of hits on the day”, the ban condition is set as the actual work history cumulative value, and the prohibition condition is set as the time limit. The setting is the same as that of the first embodiment in that it is set under the general conditions.

  According to the second embodiment, for example, depending on whether or not it is a platform that hits well that day, the special effect for jackpot that can be selected when it becomes “3 or more consecutive chunks” will be different. Therefore, from the number of jackpots as the actual work history cumulative value of the day, if you win a jackpot of more than 3 consecutive channels, what kind of specific effects you can enjoy can be different for each stand, increasing the enjoyment of choosing a stand You can also expect the effect that

  In the third embodiment, the banning condition, the execution condition, and the prohibiting condition as shown in FIG. 16B are set as the demonstration specific effect data. Each of the first to third demonstration specific effect data DMsp1, DMsp2, DMsp3 has two sets of “banning condition”, “execution condition”, and “prohibition condition”. For the first demonstration specific performance data DMsp1, “banning condition = when opening” “execution condition = discharging Z1”, “prohibiting condition = discharging Z2-1” and “banning condition = discharging Z6” “Condition = Discharge of 1 Zm” and “Prohibit condition = when closed” are set. For the second demonstration specific performance data DMsp2, “banning condition = Z2 discharge”, “execution condition = Z3 discharge”, “prohibition condition = Z4-1 discharge” and “banning condition = Z7 discharge”, “ “Execution condition = discharge 2 Zm” and “prohibition condition = when closed” are set. For the third demonstration specific performance data DMsp3, “banning condition = Z4 discharge” “execution condition = Z5 discharge” “prohibition condition = Z6-1 discharge” and “unlocking condition = Z8 discharge” “ “Execution condition = discharge 3 Zm” and “prohibition condition = when closed” are set.

  Here, the accumulated discharge ball history value has a relationship of Z1 <Z2 <Z3 <Z4 <Z5 <Z6 <Z7 <Z8, and a relationship of Zm1 <Zm2 <Zm3.

  As a result, the first demonstration specific effect is executed at the time of Z1 discharge between the opening of the store and Z2-1 discharge, and Z3 discharge between Z2 discharge and Z4-1 discharge. The second demonstration specific effect is executed at the time of discharge, and the third specific effect for demonstration is executed at the time of Z5 discharge between Z4 discharge and Z6-1 discharge, and Z6 discharge to store closing. At the time, the first demonstration specific effect is executed every Zm1 discharge, the second demonstration specific effect is executed every Zm2 discharge at the time of Z7 discharge to closing, and the third at the time of Z8 discharge to closing. The demonstration specific effect is executed for every three Zm discharges.

  In this way, by setting a plurality of banning conditions, etc. for the same specific effect data, the demonstration effect to be executed as a specific effect instead of waiting for a customer is switched as the actual work history cumulative value increases. In addition, after the discharge of Z6, until the closing of the store, a plurality of demonstration specific effects are switched and repeated as the actual work history cumulative value increases, and the game managed only in the conventional time This allows players to experience a completely new form of demonstration specific effects that cannot be experienced on a machine. In particular, in the third embodiment, after the discharge of Z8 pieces, the first to third demonstration specific effects are executed at the set execution intervals, so that various demonstration specific effects can be executed one after another. Even if it is a time zone before closing the store, if it is a good platform with customers on the day, the player can fully enjoy various demonstration specific effects. In addition, as the accumulated work history value increases, a variety of demonstration specific effects can be enjoyed in a short period of time, and a player who can go to the amusement hall only for a short time before closing the store by selecting the stand. Can also fully enjoy the production.

  In the fourth embodiment, the banning condition, execution condition, and prohibition condition as shown in FIG. 16C are set as the demonstration specific effect data. For the first demonstration specific effect data DMsp1, “banning condition = when opening” “execution condition = every Zm1 discharge” “banning condition = 12: 00” and “banning condition = 18: 00” “execution condition = Zm1 “Discharge” and “Prohibit condition = when closed” are set. For the second demonstration specific effect data DMsp2, “banning condition = 12: 00” “execution condition = every Zm2 discharges” “banning condition = 15: 00” and “banning condition = 18: 00” “execution condition = Zm2 “Discharge” and “Prohibit condition = when closed” are set. For the third demonstration specific effect data DMsp3, “banning condition = 18 o'clock”, “execution condition = every Zm3 discharges”, and “prohibiting condition = when the store is closed” are set. In this embodiment, the relationship is set such that Zm1> Zm2> Zm3.

  As a result, the business hours of the day are “time zone 1: opening time to 12:00”, “time zone 2: 12:00 to 15:00”, “time zone 3: 15:00 to 18:00”, “time zone 4: 18:00 to In the “time zone 1”, the first demonstration specific effect is executed every Zm1 discharge, and in the “time zone 2”, the second demonstration specific effect is executed every Zm2 discharge, In the “time zone 3”, the third demonstration specific effect is executed for every Zm3 discharge, and in the “time zone 4”, the first demonstration specific effect is executed for every Zm1 discharge, the second demonstration specific effect. Is executed for every Zm2 discharge, and the third demonstration specific effect is executed for every Zm3 discharge.

  In addition, the execution intervals of the demonstration specific effects are “every Zm1 discharge” in “time zone 1”, every Zm2 discharge in “time zone 2”, every Zm3 discharge in “time zone 3”, and “time zone 4”. ”Every Zm1 discharge, every Zm2 discharge, and every Zm3 discharge, the execution interval of the demonstration specific effect varies depending on the time zone, and the execution interval is not constant because it is based on the accumulated work history value As a result, various demonstration specific effects are executed not at regular time intervals but at various intervals reflecting the actual work history, and the player is not bored.

  In the fifth embodiment, the actual working history cumulative value measurement process regarding the discharged balls is changed from the first embodiment to the configuration shown in FIG. In the fifth embodiment, when the control system shown in FIG. 17A receives the customer waiting demonstration effect command from the main control board 310, the effect control board 320 executes the customer waiting demonstration effect and a predetermined time has elapsed. When the player wants to display the start screen by operating the operation button S, the liquid crystal display device LCD is inquired about whether it is a new game or a continuous game. By resetting the ball measurement value Cex1 and starting the measurement, the actual work history accumulated value is measured for each player or for each game continuation.

  In the process of determining whether the game is a new game or a continuous game executed on the effect control board 320, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 17B, when a predetermined time has elapsed during the customer waiting demonstration (S1511: YES, S1512: YES). ), An inquiry screen for a new game or a continuous game is displayed via the liquid crystal display device LCD (S1513). When the player performs an operation to the effect that the player is a new game using the effect operation button S (S1514: YES), the new game flag is turned ON (S1515).

  In addition, after displaying the inquiry screen (S1513), when a predetermined time has passed without any new game operation (S1514: NO, S1516: YES), this process is temporarily ended.

  Even if the customer waiting demonstration is not in progress, if the start screen display operation is performed using the effect operation button S (S1511: NO, S1517: YES), the processing from S1513 onward is executed. As a result, regardless of whether or not the player has changed, the new game flag is also turned ON when the player tries to play a game as a new game (S1515).

  As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 17C, the accumulated discharge ball number measurement process executed by the effect control board 320 is performed from the main control board 310 when the power is turned on at the time of opening the store, as in S911 to S914 of the first embodiment. The discharged ball cumulative value Cex is input (S1521), the discharged ball cumulative value Cex held on the main control board 310 side is set to the lifetime discharged ball cumulative value Cex0, and the current day discharged ball cumulative value Cex1 is reset to “0”. After that, every time the update information of the accumulated discharge ball value Cex is received (S1523: YES), the lifetime discharged ball accumulation value Cex0 and the same day discharge ball accumulation value Cex1 are incremented (S1524).

  After the measurement of the accumulated ball value is started in this way, in the fifth embodiment, it is determined whether or not the new game flag is turned on (S1525). If it is turned on, the accumulated ball value Cex1 on the day is reset, and The new game flag is turned OFF (S1527). Thereby, when the player who is going to play a new game desires a new game, the day-to-day accumulated ball cumulative value Cex1 for the player can be measured. Even if the player is left as it is, if the player desires, the value measured so far can be reset and the measurement of the accumulated emission value Cex1 on the day can be newly started.

  The above processing continues until the store is closed, and when the store is closed and the power is turned off (S1528: YES), the lifetime discharged ball cumulative value Cex0 and the current day discharged ball cumulative value Cex1 are reset (S1529).

  As a result, according to the fifth embodiment, when the player changes or the same player desires a new game instead of a continuous game, the demonstration specific effect is the cumulative value Cex1 of the discharge balls on that day. On the basis of this, the ban on the demonstration specific performance is executed. This will allow each player to enjoy demonstration specific effects that will be banned or executed sequentially throughout the day, and will also support cases where the same player wants to start over from the beginning. Can do.

[Modification 1]
By resetting the actual work history Cex1, Cst1, Cv1, etc. on the condition of the customer waiting demo command, the actual work history can be obtained for each player even if the player does not select a new game or continuous game. It may be accumulated to ban or prohibit specific effects. In addition to this, when accumulating the actual work history for each player, if the player is identified by opening the ID / password input screen from the customer waiting demonstration screen and inputting the ID / password, Similarly to the lifetime accumulated ball accumulated value Cex0, it is also possible to measure the individual total accumulated ball accumulated value and perform the ban or the like reflecting the game history for each player. As a method for personal recognition, an ID such as a membership card having a storage function can be adopted. In addition, by combining the player identification with the membership card and the resetting of the day history by the customer waiting demonstration command, it is possible to perform specific effects depending on whether the game is continued on the same platform or when the platform is moved halfway. You can also change the ban.

[Modification 2]
In the slot machine, a gaming machine that determines whether the banning condition for a specific effect is satisfied by using the cumulative value of the number of coin bets instead of the cumulative value of the discharged balls of the first embodiment. In this case, by using the cumulative value of the number of operations of the operating lever in place of the cumulative value of the number of symbol fluctuations of the first embodiment, it is possible to execute the ban on specific effects using the symbol fluctuation execution state as the actual work history. .

  The embodiments and some modifications as the best mode for carrying out the invention have been described above, but the present invention is not limited to these, and various modifications within the scope of the invention are not limited. Is possible.

  For example, instead of using the number of special map fluctuations or the cumulative value of the discharged balls as a real number, “ease around the platform” such as [number of special chart fluctuations] / [number of discharged balls] or [number of big hits] / [ You may use the cumulative value of actual work status such as “Ease of hitting balls” such as “Number of balls discharged”, or you may set conditions such as once prohibiting and then prohibiting again during one business day. I do not care. Moreover, although the measurement of the total number of discharged balls has been described with one discharged ball detection switch SW21, the detection signals of a plurality of discharged ball detection switches may be accumulated and measured. Also, there is no banning condition = execution condition setting, and there is no banning condition or prohibition condition. For example, only the execution condition based on the actual work history cumulative value such as “execute specific demonstration effect for every 3000 balls” is set. You can set it.

  The present invention can be used for gaming machines.
