  The present invention relates to a game information display device.

  Conventionally, a pachinko gaming machine is provided with a low probability state and a high probability state in which it is easy to win a big hit lottery than the low probability state as a lottery state of a jackpot state advantageous to the player. As a winning state for the starting opening that triggers an execution, the electric support (so-called electric Chu) supports the winning of the ball for the starting opening, and a power support state is provided in which the balls are easier to win than the normal state. .

JP, 2014-104202, A

By the way, depending on the pachinko gaming machine, there are a plurality of types of special gaming states after the jackpot state has ended. For example, a special gaming state for setting a high probability state and a power support state, a low probability state and a power support state There is a special gaming state to set. Then, each special game state ends, including a high probability state, when a jackpot is not won during a predetermined number of symbol changes (for example, Patent Document 1).
However, in the special gaming state, gaming machines that output a common signal regardless of the type of the special gaming state are generally used, and there is a problem that it is difficult to specify the type of the special gaming state.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a game information display device which makes it easy to identify the type of special game state.

  According to the invention of claim 1, when the special gaming state continues beyond the second period, it can be specified that it is the first special gaming state, so the special gaming state ended in the second period is 2 While judging that it was a special gaming state, by determining that a special gaming state lasting longer than the second period was a first special gaming state, the jackpot state based on the period until the special gaming state ends The type of special gaming state after the end can be determined and displayed. This makes it easy to identify the type of special game state.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing an entire configuration of a game arcade system. A large number of game machines 1 are installed in the game arcade, and a lending device 2 and a call lamp 3 (game information display device) are installed corresponding to each game machine 1. The gaming machine 1, the lending device 2 and the call lamp 3 are connected to the management device 6 via the relay device 4 and the LAN 5. The management device 6 inputs a game signal output from the gaming machine side (the gaming machine 1, the lending device 2, etc.), and manages gaming data for each gaming machine 1, personal data for each member registered as a member, and the like. A POS and a balance settlement machine (none of which are shown) are also installed in the game arcade, and these POS and the balance settlement machine are also connected to the management device 6 via the LAN 5. Although not shown in FIG. 1, several hundred gaming machines 1 are actually managed by the management device 6, for example.

  The management device 6 is installed in, for example, an office or the like in the game arcade, and a keyboard 7, a monitor 8, a printer (not shown) and the like operated by a manager of the game arcade are connected. The management device 6 manages the gaming information for each gaming machine 1 by specifying the operating state of the gaming machine 1 and the lending device 2 based on the gaming signals input from the gaming machine 1 and the lending device 2 and the like.

  The gaming machine 1 is a CR (card reader) pachinko machine, and has an operation handle 10, an upper receiving tray 11 and a lower receiving tray 12 which constitute a launcher for firing balls on a board surface 9, and a liquid crystal display unit 13 on the board surface 9. , A common-prize winning opening 14, a first starting opening 15, a second starting opening 16, and a large winning opening 17.

The gaming machine 1 operates as described below.
(1) The first starting opening 15 is a winning opening where the winning rate does not change (a so-called winning opening), the second starting opening 16 is a winning opening where a winning rate changes (a so-called electric chow), and the number of payouts is three. is there. A big hit lottery is performed (lottery means) according to the winnings (starting winnings) to each starting opening 15, 16 (when a predetermined lottery condition is established), and the liquid crystal display unit 13 performs the lottery result Informing by stop display (symbol fluctuation means), it becomes a big hit state according to the fluctuation result.

  (2) When a start winning is made during symbol fluctuation, symbol fluctuation is accumulated withholding to a predetermined holding upper limit value (for example, four each), and symbol fluctuation held after symbol fluctuation is ended is started. In addition, when the start winning combination is carried out in a state where the number of symbol variations being held (number of holdings) is the upper limit value, the symbol variations are not held.

  (3) The second starting opening 16 is a normal symbol (general drawing) that fluctuates according to the winning to the common drawing prize opening 14 (the winning probability is 1/30 in the normal state (low probability state), time saving state (low When it becomes 1/1) in the probability state) and the probability change state (high probability state), the winning state becomes a high open state. In the open state, the open / close body provided in the second start port 16 is realized as the open state by electric driving. That is, the opening and closing body is in an open state to support the winning of the ball.

  The fluctuation time of one common figure is 30 seconds in the normal state, whereas it is 1 second in the short and long states. In addition, the opening time of the second start port 16 is 0.2 seconds in the normal state, whereas 1.5 seconds is repeated three times in the short time state and the definite variation state. That is, in the time saving state and the probability changing state, the spread pattern fluctuation time becomes shorter as compared with the normal state, while the opening time of the second starting port 16 becomes longer and the winning rate of the second starting port 16 becomes higher. Hereinafter, a state in which the winning ratio to the second start opening 16 is increased by the increase of the opening time of the second start opening 16 is also referred to as “power support”.

  (4) The jackpot probability of winning the jackpot lottery (jackpot probability) is 1/400, the jackpot state (the first jackpot state. Hereinafter, the jackpot state jackpot state) the jackpot state will become a definite change state (high probability state, with power support) The probability change rate, which is the ratio of the first start opening 15 is 50% (for normal condition, short time condition, positive condition condition) 50% (of the symbols from 0 to 9, the odd symbol corresponds to the occurrence of positive condition big hit condition), 2nd The jackpot 16 is 80%, and the other jackpot state is a jackpot (second jackpot state, hereinafter, usually a jackpot state) in which the jackpot state becomes a short time state. When the big hit condition usually occurs, the big winning opening 17 is opened for 15 rounds (R), and when the big hit condition occurs, it is 16R. The upper limit winning number for 1R is 10 balls, the upper limit opening time is 30 seconds, and when either the upper limit winning number or the upper limit opening time is satisfied, 1R is ended and the number of payouts is 15. In the jackpot state, it is normal for the 1R to end by winning 10 balls, which is the upper limit prize number, and since the number of inserted balls is substantially constant, one jackpot state pops out from the past data ( In general, the jackpot, the size of the bonus given to the player, is about 1600 balls in the probability variation big hit state 16R, and the normal big hit state is about 1500 balls in 15R.

(5) During the probability change, the jackpot probability is improved to 1/100, and the winning ratio to the second starting opening 16 is increased.
(6) The time saving state (first special game state) after the end of the big hit state is normally 100 revolutions continuously in the low probability state and the state with the power support on condition that the big hit is not won, and the oddity big hit state The final change state (second special game state) returns to the normal state continuously for 150 revolutions in the high probability state and the power support state on condition that the jackpot is not won (special game state generation means).

  In short, the gaming machine 1 normally has 100 rotations (the second period, the number of symbol variations) after the big hit, and a short time state (low probability state, with power support) occurs, and with 100 rotations, the power support has ended Then, while returning to the normal state (low probability state), after the end of the probability variation big hit, a definite change state (high probability state, presence of power support) of 150 rotations (first period, number of symbol variations) occurs and 150 rotations elapse Then, both the high probability state and the power support have ended and return to the normal state. In other words, while the time saving state (the second special game state) is a game state in which the lottery conditions are easily established, in the positive changing state (the first special game state), the lottery conditions are established as in the time saving state. In addition to becoming easy, it can be said that it is a game state which becomes easy to be elected to the lottery of the big hit state.

The gaming machine 1 and the peripheral devices attached to the gaming machine 1 transmit the following gaming signals as the game progresses such as the ball being hit by the player and the start winnings to the respective starting openings 15, 16 or the like. .
Out signal = a signal (operation signal) capable of specifying the consumption value (out) transmitted from the out box for collecting consumption balls. Since one pulse is sent to 10 consumption (use, impact, collection) balls, “out signal number × 10” is specified as out. A signal transmitted from the gaming machine 1 may be used.

  Safe signal = a signal capable of specifying the prize award value (safe) output from the gaming machine 1. Since one pulse is transmitted to ten balls of payout (given), “safe signal number × 10” is specified as safe. Note that the replenishment signal transmitted from the replenishment device may be a safe signal.

  Start signal = a signal capable of specifying start processing (symbol variation, bonus operation, unit game) in the liquid crystal display unit (character item) 13 which fluctuates (acts) by start winning output outputted from the gaming machine 1. Since the symbol variation is specified according to the signal input since it is output at the time of symbol variation determination, “number of start signals × 1” is specified as the number of rotations (hereinafter, the number of starts). In addition, it is good also as a signal which shows having won a starting opening.

-Jackpot signal = a signal that can identify the jackpot state period output from the gaming machine 1. Since the state signal is output in level during the jackpot state, the jackpot signal input is identified as being in the jackpot state. Special signal = a common signal capable of specifying the special state outputted from the gaming machine 1 in the time saving state and the probability changing state. A period in which neither the jackpot signal nor the special signal is input is specified as a normal state.

  The lending device 2 is a lending machine with a so-called machine counting function, a state display unit 18 indicating the gaming state of the lending device 2, a coin insertion slot 19 into which money (money value owned by a player) is inserted, a player Touch panel liquid crystal that receives operation input from a game and displays information related to replays such as the number of balls and the number of balls or game data such as the number of symbol changes (the number of starts) and jackpot probability as the game progresses. Display unit 20, payout button 21 for dispensing balls or balls, dispensing nozzle 22 through which the dispensed balls pass, card insertion slot 23 into which a card is inserted, position below lower tray 12 of gaming machine 1 The removable counting tray 24 is provided.

The lending device 2 has the following functions.
(1) When money is inserted into the money insertion slot 19, the amount of money (balance) is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 20. When the lending button (not shown) of the gaming machine 1 is operated, the number of balls corresponding to 5 degrees within the range of the balance is paid out from the payout mechanism inside the gaming machine 1 (performing lending processing and compensation processing). The balance of the balance excluding the consideration of the game medium paid out by the lending process is displayed. At this time, a signal indicating that 125 balls for 5 degrees have been paid out is output from the gaming machine 1 to the lending device 2, so the balance displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 20 is a unit amount equivalent to 5 degrees. For example, the sales signal is output while reducing 500 yen. In this sales signal, one pulse is output for each payout of the ball of 5 degrees, so a unit amount corresponding to one pulse is specified as the sales amount. The balls may be paid out by the lending device 2.

(2) When a general card is inserted into the card insertion slot 23, the balance and balls stored in the general card are read out and displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 20. When the lending button of the gaming machine 1 is operated, the balls corresponding to the number of 5 times within the range of the balance are paid out from the payout mechanism inside the gaming machine 1 (perform the lending process and the compensation process), The remaining balance excluding the consideration of the game media paid out is displayed. Also at this time, a signal indicating that 125 balls for 5 degrees have been paid out is output from the gaming machine 1 to the lending device 2, so from the balance displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 20, a unit amount equivalent to 5 degrees. A sales signal is output while reducing, for example, 500 yen. The balls may be paid out by the lending device 2.
(3) When the balls dropped from the lower tray 12 of the gaming machine 1 are received by the counting tray 24, the received balls are counted and the counted value is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 20.

  (4) When the payout button 21 is operated, the balls for one unit of payout (for example, 125 balls) within the range of the counting balls (balls having balls) are paid out from the payout mechanism inside the gaming machine 1 (withdrawal processing, counting balls) (Replay processing based on the above) is performed, and the remaining counting balls excluding the value of the game medium paid out from the counting balls by the payout processing are displayed. Also at this time, a signal indicating that the balls for one unit of payout have been dispensed from the gaming machine 1 to the lending device 2 is output. Further, the payout of balls may be performed by the lending device 2.

  (5) When the return button (all issue button, not shown) of the gaming machine 1 is operated, information such as balance and balls is associated with the general card inserted in the card insertion slot 23 (e.g. Issue) (all issues). When the membership card is inserted, the balance is associated with the membership card and the balls are output to the management device 6 before the membership card is issued. When a general card is issued, issuance information including a card ID is output to the management device 6 and is also stored on the management device 6 side. When neither a general card nor a membership card is inserted in the card insertion slot 23, the general card stocked in the card stock unit (not shown) is fed out to the card insertion slot 23, and the balance and balls are associated and issued. .

  (6) The game data of the corresponding gaming machine 1 or the designated other gaming machine 1 is displayed according to the operation input to the liquid crystal display unit 20, the message from the game arcade is displayed, or the player is a member When it is specified that there is a game data of the gaming machine 1 is displayed.

  The call lamp 3 is a call button 25 pressed by the player when calling an employee of the game arcade, a display switch button 26 pressed by the player when switching the display of game information, a lamp 27, a liquid crystal display 28, an employee And a receiver for receiving a signal from a remote control carried by the worker. The call lamp 3 has a control unit (generation specifying means, type judging means, display means, benefit specifying means) configured by a microcomputer having a CPU, ROM, RAM, and I / O, and executes a control program. Perform the following operation.

(1) Various game information is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 28 by inputting a game signal from the game machine 1.
(2) When the player depresses the call button 25, the lamp 27 is illuminated, and when the player is depressed again, the lamp 27 is extinguished.
(3) When the player presses the display switching button 26, the display of the game information on the liquid crystal display unit 28 is switched.

By the way, since the gaming machine 1 is configured to output a common special signal regardless of the type of the special gaming state in the special gaming state, the type of the special gaming state is specified based on the special signal. Can not be provided to the player.
Under such circumstances, when the call lamp 3 receives a special signal, it determines which of the time saving state and the probability changing state is occurring, and performs state determination processing of totaling game information based on the specified result. It is supposed to run.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the state determination process by the call lamp 3. The call lamp 3 determines whether a special signal which is a common signal from the gaming machine 1 is input (S1: NO).
When the jackpot state occurs in the gaming machine 1 and the jackpot state ends, the special gaming state (normally time saving state (low probability state, with power support) after the jackpot state, the probability changing state (high probability state, after the probability changing jackpot state) Since the power supply is generated and the special signal is input (S1: YES), it is determined whether the special signal is stopped (S2: NO) or whether the start signal is input (S8: NO). The start signal is input when the symbol in the gaming machine 1 is determined to be changed (when the stop display is made) (S8: YES), so the start number is incremented each time the start signal is input (S9).

  By the way, when the special gaming state is finished and the special signal is stopped (S2: YES), whether the special gaming state is short or not according to the following conditions after step S3 based on the number of starts at that time Identify if it was a condition. Since the special game state can be determined according to the reception status of the special signal, it can be said that the call lamp 3 has a function (end specifying means) for specifying the end of the special game state.

(1) When the special game state is changed to the short game state (low probability state, with power support) after the normal jackpot state, and the short time state runs out without winning the big hit (when the number of times of start reaches 100)
When it is determined whether the number of start times when the special signal stops is 101 or more (S3), it does not become 101 or more (S3: NO), it is determined whether the number of start times is 100 (S4). In this case, since the number of times of start is 100 (S4: YES), and a jackpot signal is not input (S5: NO), game information of the special gaming state is counted as a time saving state (S6). That is, when the reception of the special signal is interrupted at 100 revolutions without the jackpot winning, it is determined that the special gaming state during the reception of the special signal is the time saving state.

(2) In the case where the special game state is changed to the special game state (high probability state, with power support) after the odd change jackpot state, and when the probability change state is completed without winning a big hit (when the number of times of start reaches 150)
When it is determined whether the number of starts when the special signal is stopped is 101 or more (S3), the number of starts when the special signal is stopped is 101 or more (S3: YES). It counts up as a definite change state (S10). That is, when the reception of the special signal is interrupted at 150 rotations without being a big hit, it is determined that the special gaming state during the reception of the special signal is a probability change state.

(3) In the case where the special game state is changed to the special game state after the normal jackpot state, and the special signal is stopped when the jackpot is won during the short time state (when the number of times of start is 0 to 100)
(3-1) When the number of times of start is 0 to 99 Since the number of times of start when the special signal is stopped is 0 to 99 (S4: NO), the special gaming state is specified based on the previous jackpot state (S11) . That is, when the jackpot is won by 99 rotations without interruption of the reception of the special signal, it can not be identified from the special signal whether it was a short time or a definite change state, so the jackpot state by the ball in the previous jackpot state It is determined whether the special gaming state after the jackpot state is a short time state or a definite variation state based on the specified result. If the previous big hit state is usually big hit, it is determined that the big hit state is usually less than 1550 (S11: NO), it is determined that the big hit state is usually, special signal The game information being received is counted as a time saving state (S6).

(3-2) When the number of times of start is 100 The number of times of start when the special signal is stopped is 100 (S4: YES), or the special signal is stopped by the jackpot win or the short time state is ended and the special signal is stopped Since it is not possible to identify the jackpot signal (S5), the jackpot signal is inputted (S5: YES), and the type of jackpot state is judged by the ball in the previous jackpot state To do (S11). In this case, it is generally determined that the previous big hit state is usually a big hit, and the previous big hit state is less than 1550 (S11: NO), so it is determined that the big hit state is usually The game information during signal reception is counted as a time saving state (S6).

(4) When the jackpot is won during the definite change state and the special signal is stopped (the number of times of start is 0 to 150).
(4-1) When the number of times of start is less than 100 (0 to 99) and the special signal is stopped and the special signal is stopped The number of times of start when the special signal is stopped is 0 to 99 (S4: NO) Since it is not possible to identify from the special signal whether it was a short time or a definite change state from the special signal, as in the case where the big hit was won during the short time state, the type of the big hit state is determined by the ball in the previous big hit state. It identifies (S11), and determines whether the special gaming state after the jackpot state was a short time state or a definite change state based on the specific result. That is, when the previous big hit state is a definite change big hit state, since it is general that the ball in the previous big hit state is 1550 or more (S11: YES), it is determined to be a positive change big hit state, The game information during the reception of the special signal is counted as a probability change state (S10).

(4-2) When the number of times of start is 100 when the big hit is won and the special signal is stopped The number of times of start when the special signal is stopped becomes 100 (S4: YES). Since it is not possible to specify whether the special signal has ended and the special signal has stopped, it is determined whether the big hit signal is input (S5), and since the big hit signal is being input (S5: YES), the previous big hit state is The type of the jackpot state is determined by the slide ball (S11). In this case, it is generally determined that the previous big hit state is a definite big hit, and the previous big hit state is 1550 or more (S11: YES), so it is determined that the positive hit is a positive hit, and special The game information during signal reception is collected as a probability change state (S10).

(4-3) When the number of times of start is 101 or more (101 to 150) and the jackpot is won Since the number of times of start when the jackpot signal is input is 101 or more (S3: YES) The determination is made, and the game information of the special game state is counted as a probability change state (S10). That is, when the jackpot is won in 101 to 150 revolutions, it is specified that the special gaming state is the probability change state without determining the jackpot state.

  In short, when it was determined whether it was a time-short state or a definite variation state in the output period of the special signal, the special signal stopped at 100 revolutions or less because it can be determined that the definite variation state was only when continuing for 101 rotations or more. In the case of 100 revolutions, it is specified that the time saving state is determined on the condition that the big hit is not won, while it is specified that the positive variation state is when the big hit is won, and 0 to 99 revolutions Is used to identify whether it was a definite change or a short time based on the previous hit of the jackpot state. This is because the jackpot in the big hit state changes every time the big hit state, so it can be assumed that it is misjudged, but when the output period of the special signal continues for 101 revolutions or more, it can be identified that it was a definite change state Therefore, the accuracy of the specific result can be increased. That is, in the present embodiment, when it is possible to specify whether the short time state or the definite variation state can be specified from the output period of the common signal which is the common signal, the output period is specified preferentially, and when it can not be specified from the output period The present invention is characterized in that it is specified from the ball in the previous jackpot state, whereby the accuracy of the specified result can be enhanced, and the frequency at which it can not be specified can be minimized.

  Then, the calling lamp 3 specifies the number of special game states during the special game state by specifying whether the special game state is the short time state or the definite change state as described above, by setting the start count to 0 ( S7), prepare for counting the number of starts during the next special game state.

  The call lamp 3 creates a jackpot history based on the determination result of the special gaming state described above each time a jackpot state occurs, and displays a data display screen (time history) showing the jackpot history according to the operation by the player. It has a function to display.

  FIG. 2 exemplifies a data display screen by the call lamp 3. On the data display screen, a model number 28a and a jackpot history 28b are displayed. In the jackpot history 28b, items of a state, an occurrence time, a start rotation speed, and a ball are set corresponding to the jackpot. The start rotation speed is the rotation speed at which the big hit was won, and for example, although it is shown as 120 in the previous big hit state in FIG. 2, it is 120 after the big hit state of the previous two days has ended. It shows that the jackpot state of the previous time occurred in the rotation.

Here, in the example shown in FIG. 2, since the special signal after the big hit state lasted up to 150 rotations (displayed in the parenthesis of the current start number of rotations) after the big hit state of the 1st time, It is determined that the probability variation jackpot state in which the probability variation state has occurred is determined, and it is determined that the lottery status after the termination of the probability variation jackpot state is the high probability status. Since the special signal after the end of the big hit lasted up to 100 revolutions (displayed in the parenthesis of the first and 2 previous hits), the time-shortened state occurred twice or three times before. It is determined that the normal jackpot state has been made, and it is determined that the lottery state after the end of the normal jackpot state is the low probability state. As the big hit state of 4 times before, since the big hit state of 3 times before has occurred at the 50th rotation, it is judged the ball of the big hit state of 4 times before, and the difference ball is 1590 and becomes 1550 or more Therefore, it is determined that the probability variation jackpot state is determined, and it is determined that the lottery state after the termination of the probability variation jackpot state is the high probability state.
In addition, it is also possible to display a jackpot history prior to four times by button operation.

  By confirming the display shown in FIG. 2, the player confirms whether it was a probability variation jackpot state or a normal jackpot state, and easily identify whether or not the lottery state after the jackpot state is high probability state Can.

  On the other hand, the call lamp 3 has a function of displaying a data display screen (bar graph history) in accordance with the operation by the player. When displaying the bar graph history, it is specified based on the jackpot history of FIG. 2 whether the time saving state or the definite variation state has been made, and the specific result is displayed corresponding to the jackpot.

  FIG. 3 exemplifies a data display screen (bar graph history) by the call lamp 3, and displays data based on the jackpot history of FIG. On the jackpot history display screen, a game number 28a, a number of starts 28c, a number of jackpots 28d, a jackpot probability 28e, a cumulative number of starts 28f, and a number-of-big-games graph 28g are displayed. The number of times of start 28c indicates the number of revolutions after the end of the previous big hit state, and among the number of revolutions, the number of revolutions digested in the time-short state or the probability change state is shown in parentheses.

In the example shown in FIG. 3, it is shown that the positive change state has ended when the 150 rotations are digested at the present 300 rotations.
In the big hit interval game number graph 28g, the number of big hit games is displayed as the number of blocks indicating the minimum display unit (100 rotations). That is, 1 to 100 rotations are displayed in one block, and 101 to 200 rotations are displayed in 2 blocks. If you win a big hit in 100 revolutions or less (3, 4, 7 to 9 times before) will be displayed in one block, and as described above, it will be determined whether it was a time saving state or a definite variation state in the previous big hit state There is. The jackpot state of 4, 8, and 9 times occurs at less than 100 rotations (1 block), for example, in the case of 9 times ago, 10 times ago is a definite variation jackpot with 10 balls of the previous jackpot state It identifies that it is a state, and it is determined that a probability variation state has occurred after the termination of its probability variation jackpot.

  On the other hand, when 101 rotations have elapsed since the end of the jackpot state (three or more blocks), it is determined that the probability variation state has occurred. That is, the jackpot state of 1, 2, 5, 6 and 10 times before identifies the jackpot state of probability variation. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the big hit is won at the 120th rotation before the first time, and although not shown in FIG. 2, the big hit is won at the 130th rotation before 5 times.

  In addition, since it is not determined whether the time saving state or the definite variation state is performed from the end of the jackpot state to the end of 100 revolutions, the blank is left until 100 revolutions elapse. For this reason, when 100 revolutions have passed, or when a jackpot is won on the way and the ball in the previous jackpot state corresponds to the probability variation jackpot state, it is displayed as "positive".

  The player is able to recognize that the jackpot state is a probability change jackpot state and a probability change state has occurred after the jackpot end when “positive” is displayed corresponding to the jackpot state as shown in FIG. 3 If the "OK" is not displayed, it can be recognized that the jackpot state is usually the jackpot state and the time saving state has occurred.

According to such an embodiment, the following effects can be achieved.
The call lamp 3 determines the game information during the special game state, and sorts the special game state on the basis of the ball in the previous big hit state in the case of 0 to 99 revolutions, and adds up the jackpot in the case of 100 turns. On the condition that it does not do, it collects as a time saving state, determines the type of the special game state on the basis of the ball of the previous big hit state on the condition that the big hit is won and adds up, and further 101 rotations or more Since the game information of the continued special game state is counted as a definite change state, the type of the special game state generated after the jackpot state is ended is determined and totaled based on the period until the special game state ends. Information corresponding to the aggregation result can be displayed. As a result, the player can easily identify the type of special game state from the display result.

  Even if it is a game machine that is difficult to identify which of the time saving state or the probability changing state is occurring based on the output state of the special signal which is a common signal, the type of the special gaming state is determined from the input period of the special signal. Can.

  In the bar graph history showing the jackpot state of FIG. 3, "positive" is displayed corresponding to the jackpot when the definite variation state occurs, and "positive" is not displayed when the time saving state occurs. Therefore, when confirming the jackpot state, the player can easily specify the type of the special gaming state that has occurred, and it is possible to increase the amount of information to be provided to the player.

  In the number of times of start 28c in FIG. 3, the number of revolutions elapsed since the end of the previous big hit state is displayed, and among the number of revolutions, the number of revolutions digested in the time saving state or the definite variation state is shown in parenthesis. Among the number of start times after the end of the jackpot state, it is possible to specify the number of start times digested during the special game state, and it is possible to increase the amount of information to be provided to the player.

  If you win the jackpot by 100 turns after the end of the jackpot state, the type of special gaming state can not be specified from the period of the special gaming state, but the type of the previous jackpot state from the jackpot of jackpot state Since the type of the special game state is specified, the accuracy with which the type of the special game state can be specified can be increased.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but may be modified or expanded as follows, each modification may be combined with the above embodiment, or each modification may be combined.
It is also possible to apply the present invention to gaming machines of specifications different from the gaming machine exemplified in the above embodiment. Also, although the special gaming state is exemplified for the probability changing state and the time saving state, the special gaming state may be arbitrarily changed, and other special gaming states are provided instead of or in addition to the time saving state and the probability changing state. The present invention may be applied to gaming machines.

For example, it is also possible to apply to the enclosed type pachinko machine in which the ball is sealed and the point is consumed to fire the ball. Further, the present invention may be applied to a slot machine (a lever operation for starting a game corresponds to establishment of a lottery condition). For example, a special gaming state in which the number of continuing games is different may be managed.
The present invention may be applied to a gaming machine that outputs different signals in the time saving state and the probability changing state, and also in the game machine, it is specified which of the time saving state and the probability changing state is occurring from the signal output continuation period. Also good.

The probability that the definite variation state continues may be arbitrarily changed. For example, when the jackpot is won in the definite variation state, it is also possible to correspond to a gaming machine that sets the 100% probable change state.
Although each tally is configured by the call lamp 3 alone, a part of the functions may be provided to the outside of the call lamp 3. Even in this case, the game information display device corresponds to having each function. That is, the gaming information display device may be configured alone or may be configured of a plurality of devices.

You may change the display mode of the log | history of FIG.2 and FIG.3 arbitrarily. In addition, although a call lamp for displaying data to a player has been illustrated as a game information display device, it may be configured to display information on a management device toward a game arcade manager.
After the end of the jackpot state, it is determined whether the time-shortening state or the probability change state is the case where the next jackpot state occurs within 100 revolutions and when 100 revolutions have elapsed, but such a configuration It is not limited to. For example, at the timing when the jackpot state ends, the type of the jackpot state is determined by the ball in the jackpot state, and it is judged which of the time saving state and the probability change state is occurring. Then, it may be determined whether or not the determination based on the slip has been correct based on whether or not the special signal is received when 101 rotations have elapsed.

  As a method of determining the type of the jackpot state, although the number of jackpots in the jackpot state and the number of times of the electric support state are used, the manager of the game arcade may select only one of the states and perform the judgment. For example, when only the jackpot in the jackpot state is used, it is possible to display whether the state is a positive change state or a short time state at an early timing after the jackpot state ends.

For example, the time-shortening state may occur up to any of 20 rotations and 50 rotations, and the probability changing state may continue up to 80 rotations. In this case, it may be determined that the special gaming state ended without winning a big hit by 50 revolutions is a time saving state, and the special gaming state continued for 51 times or more is a definite change state.
Further, although the duration of the special gaming state is determined by the number of symbol changes, the duration may be set to 5 minutes, and the probability change state may be continued for 10 minutes. That is, it is also possible to apply the present invention to gaming machines that differ in the method of setting the duration of the special gaming state.

  When stopping at the 100th revolution, whether it is a short time or a definite change state is distributed depending on whether or not the big hit signal is input, but since the probability of winning the big hit and stopping at the 100th revolution is extremely low It may be distributed to the state. When such a configuration is adopted, the input of the jackpot signal can be omitted.

  In the drawings, 1 is a gaming machine, and 3 is a call lamp (game information display device, generation specifying means, type determination means, display means, benefit specifying means).
