Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a reel-type game machine typified by a slot machine. More specifically, the present invention relates to a reel-type game machine that allows you to play more interestingly.

[Prior Art] A reel-type game machine such as a slot machine usually uses three symbol reels each having a large number of symbols on the outer circumferential surface, and rotates them so that one symbol is placed on each symbol reel.
When the player presses the stop button provided individually, each symbol reel is stopped at random, winnings are determined according to the combination of symbols on the predetermined winning line, and if a prize is won, This is a game machine that pays out a predetermined number of medals.

9 and 10 show a schematic front view of such a conventional reel-type game machine Z, a winning line on the front panel 21, a symbol drum, etc. seen from the reel window.

The reel-type game machine Z has a box-shaped housing, and inside thereof, three pattern reels 1, 2, 3, a motor for rotating them, and other control equipment are built-in. There is. Note that on each of the outer peripheral surfaces of the pattern reels 1, 2, and 3, for example, 21 patterns of 7 types are displayed in a random arrangement order. The front panel 21 at the upper front side includes a reel window 22 for the player to see through the symbols on the symbol reels 1, 2, and 3, a start switch 10 for rotating each symbol reel 1, 2, and 3, and a start switch 10 for rotating each symbol reel 1, 2, and 3, and a start switch 10 for rotating each symbol reel 1, 2, and 3, and Stop buttons 11, 12, 1 for individually stopping the rotation of reels 1, 2, 3
3. A medal slot 9 and a line display 23 for displaying the position and number of winning lines are provided.

In such a game machine Z, the winning line is in the reel window 2.
Five reels are prepared corresponding to the three rows of symbols on each symbol reel 1, 2, and 3 that appear on reel 2, and from among these, the winning line at a predetermined position and number is mechanically selected according to the number of medals inserted. It is becoming more and more common.
In other words, if the number of medals inserted by the player into the medal slot 9 is one, only the center line is
In the case of 2 cards, 3 lines with top and bottom lines a and b added to the center line, and in the case of 3 cards, 5 lines with diagonal lines a and b added. It becomes a line.

Games on such conventional game machine Z are
As shown in FIG. 11, the game starts when the player inserts medals into the medal slot 9 (201) and presses the start switch 10 to rotate each symbol reel 1, 2, and 3 (202). . Thereafter, when the stop buttons 11, 12, and 13 are pressed in an arbitrary order (203), each symbol reel 1, 2, and 3 stops rotating. When all the symbol reels 1, 2, and 3 have stopped (204), winning is determined based on the combination of the stopped symbols on the entered prize line (205), and if the winning has been achieved, a predetermined number of medals are paid out (206). If no prize is won, the game ends without medals being paid out (hereinafter, such a game will be referred to as a normal game).

Furthermore, in conventional game machines, when a combination of symbols on the reels that is extremely unlikely to win (for example, "Bar-Bar-Bar"), the system not only pays out medals but also pays out medals.
The player stops each reel and determines its position, and if it matches a specific symbol (with a high probability of about 1/2 for a typical player), it pays out a predetermined number of medals. For example, play a separate small game up to 12 times (up to 4 cycles if 3 reels are considered 1 cycle. However, it ends if the hit comes out 6 times)
Some have "continuous yakubutsu" hits that can be repeated. The reason why such continuous accessories are provided is that the number of medals that can be paid out per game is legally limited, so instead of paying out a large amount of medals at once, it is easy to win consecutively. The aim is to provide the player with a large return (one large prize) by having the player play a small game.

On the other hand, a system has also been proposed in which the number of games to be played on one reel of such continuous symbols is decided by another game (Utility Model Publication No. 60-37380).

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional game machine Z, the stop position of the symbol reel is a combination of a chance element and a player's technique of aiming and pressing the stop button, making it very difficult to stop. It is widely used as a game machine that allows you to play fun games.

However, the inventor of the present invention has been conducting intensive research into a game machine that can play even more interesting games, and has discovered that when a player wins a prize in a normal game, instead of simply moving on to the next game, the inventor has the player play another game and then win a prize. They discovered that they could make the game even more interesting by doubling the payouts, paying out payout medals when they win, and even giving players the chance to accumulate points with low payouts even if they don't win in the regular game. Ta.

The present invention provides a new drum-type game machine completed based on this knowledge.

The moving speed of the moving mark M is preferably set so that the player can relatively easily stop the moving mark M at the target position.

In addition, the winning score multiplier in doubling games is usually 2x, but it may be a multiplier that does not reach 2x.
Moreover, the magnification may be more than twice.

[Function] In the device of the present invention, the preliminary game, the normal game,
The game proceeds in the order of the doubling game, the first special game, and the second special game. First, the disk 4 of the special game mechanism is constantly rotated to give an eye catch effect, and a preliminary game is played in which the disk is stopped at the start of the normal game. Then start the normal game.

In a normal game, the three symbol reels 1, 2, and 3 are rotated by the first drive devices 5, 6, and 7, and then when the first stop means 11, 12, and 13 are manually operated, the rotation corresponds to the point in time when the first stop means 11, 12, and 13 are operated. Three symbol reels 1, 2, and 3 stop at the position.

When the symbol reels 1, 2, and 3 stop, the respective rotation stop positions are determined by the first detection devices 15, 1.
6, 17.

As described above, when one normal game ends, the normal game determining means 31 detects the stopped symbols on each symbol reel 1, 2, and 3 based on the stop signals from the first detection devices 15, 16, and 17. , it is determined whether the combination is related to a winning combination, and if it is a winning combination, a winning score is calculated.

Next, we enter the doubling game. First, the validity determining device 1
0 is activated and the third stop means 29 is manually operated, the win/fail deciding device 10 stops its operation, and the even/odd numbers based on the stop position of the disc in the preliminary game are compared with the even/odd numbers of the win/fail deciding device. When the two match, it is a "win", it is determined by the doubling game determining means 32, and the first score calculating means 6
3 doubles the winning score in the normal game.
In the case of a "miss", the score of the normal game is reduced to zero or greatly reduced.

Then, the first special game begins, and the disk 4 rotates at a low speed again. When the second stopping means 14 is manually operated, the moving mark M stops at the position corresponding to the time of the operation. At this time, the second detection device 1 determines whether the moving mark M has stopped at the target position.
A first special game determination means 6 based on the detection signal of 8.
It is judged as 1.

In this way, one game (that is, the normal game, the doubling game, and the first special game) is completed, and the winning judgment by the normal game judgment means 31 and the first
When the "win" determination from the special game determining means 61 is output together, the hopper driving means 33 is activated and the number of payout medals doubled from the normal winning payout is paid out.

If you do not win in the normal game or if you lose in the doubling game, the disc 4 is rotated at low speed again, and when the second stop means 14 is manually operated, the movement mark M of the disc 4 is moved to the target position. A second special game can be played depending on whether the game is stopped at or not.

Even if you do not win in one normal game or doubling game, if you win in the second special game where you just stop the moving mark M at the target position, the second score calculation means will award you the second prize. The winning points of the special game are added. If the winning score exceeds a predetermined value after several games,
The payout medal is transferred to the hopper 4 by the hopper driving means 33.
It is paid out from 2.

Embodiment 1 In FIG. 2, 21 is the front panel of the slot machine according to this embodiment. Three reel windows 22 are provided at the center of the front panel 21, from which the symbols of three rows of symbol reels 1, 2, and 3 for the normal game can be seen. The pattern reels 1, 2, and 3 have, for example, 21 patterns of seven types displayed on the outer circumferential surface in pieces arranged at equal pitches. The picture reels 1, 2, and 3 are supported by a mounting frame inside the main body, and stepping motors 5, 6, and 7 constituting a first drive device are connected to their respective rotating shafts. Note that the first driving device is a DC
A control motor such as a motor or an AC motor can also be used. In this embodiment, the number of winning lines is fixed to one, and the line indicating line is displayed on the reel window 22.

A rotary disk 4 for the doubling game and the first and second special games is rotatably attached to the upper part of the front panel 21. This disk 4
There are pieces arranged at equal pitches around the circumference, and these pieces have odd numbers such as “1”,
The disk scores of "3", even numbers "2", and "4" are repeatedly displayed. Furthermore, a movement mark M is displayed on one of the frames. The moving mark M may be displayed in any manner as long as the player can recognize it at a glance, and for example, a dragon symbol may be displayed. A target 28 is provided at a position directly above the disk 4. It is preferable that the target 28 is such that the player can see through the numbers and moving marks M when they come inside. The rotating shaft of the disk 4 passes through the inside of the main body, and is connected to a stepping motor 8 constituting a second drive device. Note that this second drive device also
A control motor such as a DC motor or an AC motor can be used.

In addition to the above, the front panel 21 also has a score display 57 that displays the numbers on the disk 4, the scores represented by "1", "2", "3", and "4", and a score display 57 that displays the winning scores of the regular game. A winning score display 58 to display, an additional score display 59 for winning scores, a score display 60 to display a fraction of the second special game score, and a medal slot 9 for inserting a predetermined number of medals for each gate. , in order to stop the symbol reels 1, 2, and 3 (that is, for the normal game), press the stop buttons 11, 12, 13, and the disk 4 provided in correspondence with each symbol reel 1, 2, and 3. a disk switch (second stopping means) 14 for stopping operation;

Next, the electric circuits of each of the game machines will be explained based on FIG. 30 is a microcomputer that controls the entire slot machine, and is used to realize each means of the present invention. Such a microcomputer 30 is
Performs comparisons and calculations necessary for game progression based on input signals, and outputs the results as control signals.
CPU, ROM that stores programs that determine procedures such as comparisons and calculations in the CPU, their execution order, etc., and various data necessary for determining winnings in normal games and doubling games; RAM that stores other data; It is comprised of an input port 36 for adjusting the timing of external signals and internal signals and selecting input/output signals, and output ports 35 and 37 for outputting control signals.

Stepping motors 5, 6, 7, and 8 are connected to the output port 35 via a drive circuit 38, and while a pulse control signal is being sent from the CPU, a drive signal is sent from the drive circuit 38. Stepping motors 5, 6, 7, and 8 are adapted to rotate.

Each stop button 11, 1 is connected to the input port 36.
2, 13, 29, disk switch 14, position detection sensors 15, 16, 17, 18, and medal detector 41 signal lines are connected, respectively. A stop circuit 48 is interposed between the signal lines of each stop button 11, 12, 13 and the disk switch 14. The position detection sensor 15, 16, 17
The device detects a reset signal section provided at one location on the circumference of each symbol reel 1, 2, 3, and is composed of, for example, a photo sensor. It is designed to emit a reset signal once. The position detection sensor 18 is
This is detected by a reset signal section provided at one location on the disk 4, which is composed of, for example, a photo sensor, and is designed to issue one reset signal every time the disk 4 rotates once.

The medal detector 41 detects that a medal has been inserted into the medal slot 9, and uses a micro switch, a photo sensor, or the like.

The output port 37 includes a hopper 42 for paying out winning payout medals, a speaker 43 that plays melodies with different tones while the disk 4 and pattern reels 1, 2, and 3 are rotating or when winning a prize, a score display 57, and a winning machine. The score display 58, the added score display 59, and the score display 60 are connected to the respective drive circuits 4.
4, 45, and 46.

The lamps 51 and 52 constitute the validity determining device 10 together with the disk 4.
On the surface of the lamp 52, the odd numbers "1" and "3" of the disk points are displayed, and on the surface of the lamp 52, the even numbers "2" and "4" of the disk points are displayed. The lamps are alternately blinked under the control of the CPU, and when a stop signal is input from the stop button 29, the blinking operation stops, and either one of the lamps 51 or 52 lights up, and the other lamp 5
2 or 51 is turned off.

The winning determination for the regular game is for each symbol reel 1, 2,
3, and is done as follows. The CPU is a position detection sensor 15,
Among the reset signals input from 16 and 17 every rotation of each symbol reel 1, 2, and 3, from the time when the final reset signal is input, a stop signal is input and each stepping motor 5, 6, The number of pulses of the drive signal until the transmission of the drive signal to 7 is stopped is counted. Each symbol reel 1, 2, 3
Since the number of pulses of the drive signal required to rotate one frame of the symbol shown on the screen is known in advance, which frame of each symbol reel 1, 2, and 3 is displayed in the reel window 22 according to the count pulse number. It is determined whether the vehicle is stopped or not. In order to determine winning, combinations of symbols related to winning are stored as reference data in a predetermined area of the ROM.
The CPU uses the count pulse numbers for the three pattern reels 1, 2, and 3 as an index and compares them with reference data. If the comparison results match, it is a prize, and the type of prize is determined at the same time.

The number of disc points used in the doubling game and the "win" determination of the first and second special games are determined as follows. Of the reset signals input from the position detection sensor 18 every rotation of the disk 4, the CPU receives the reset signal from the time when the final reset signal is input until the transmission of the drive signal to the stepping motor 8 is stopped. Count the number of pulses of the drive signal. Since the number of drive signal pulses required to rotate one frame of the disk 4 is known in advance, it is determined which frame of the disk 4 is stopped at the target 28 position based on the count pulse number. The correspondence between the number of frames, the number of points, and the moving marks is also known in advance;
It is stored as reference data in a predetermined area of the ROM. Therefore, when the count pulse number is used as an index and compared with the reference data, the number of points appearing at the target 28 position (in this embodiment, the number of points shown on the disk 4 in FIG.
~ any one of the 4 points) is determined, and the moving mark M stops at the target 28 position,
It is determined whether it is a hit or not.

Next, this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG. 4.

In this embodiment, when the power is on, the CPU always issues a control signal to the stepping motor 8, so that the disk 4 is rotated at a relatively high speed (101). The rotation of the disk 4 at this time is used as a preparatory game to determine the success or failure of the increase game and the score of the second special game.

When the player inserts one medal into the medal slot 9 (102), the detection signal is sent to the medal detector 4.
1 is sent to the CPU. At that point, the CPU stops sending the drive signal to the stepping motor 8 and issues a drive signal to the stepping motors 5, 6, and 7. Therefore, the disk 4 stops rotating (103), and the pattern reels 1, 2, and 3 start rotating (104). At this time, the disk score determined by the stop position of the disk 4 is displayed on the score display 57 (104).

The detected disk score is used to predetermine the goal (even or odd) of the doubling game to be executed later and the score of the second special game.
While being temporarily stored in the RAM, a control signal is issued to the score display 57 to display the value, and is displayed on the score display 57 (104). That is, if "1" on the disk 4 is stopped at the position of the target 28, 1 point is given, if "2" is stopped, 2 points are given, and similarly in the case of "3" and "4", 3 points are given. point,
Four points are displayed on the score display 57.

The normal game starts when the symbol reels 1, 2, and 3 start rotating. After that, when the player presses the stop buttons 11, 12, and 13 at will (105), the stop signal is taken into the CPU,
The drive signals directed from the CPU to the stepping motors 5, 6, and 7 are stopped. Therefore, the rotation of symbol reels 1, 2, and 3 is stopped (106). The stepping motors 5, 6, and 7 rotate and stop in quick response to the drive signal, so they stop almost instantly when the player presses a button. Therefore, the player can freely select the order in which the stop buttons 11, 12, and 13 are pressed, and the interval at which they are pressed, in order to stop the pattern reels 1, 2, and 3 at desired positions.

When all of the symbol reels 1, 2, and 3 have stopped (106), winning is determined based on the combination of the symbols that have stopped at that time (109). In addition, some game machines are equipped with a chance to re-spin specific symbol reels 1, 2, and 3 (107) in case you do not win a prize, or if your winning score is low even if you win a prize, and have the prize determined again. In the case of such a game machine, the final winning determination is made (109) based on the stopped symbols when the rotation stops after re-rotation (108).

If the winning determination (109) is YES, the winning score is displayed on the winning score display 58, and at the same time the lamps 51 and 52 for the doubling game start flashing alternately.
Disc 4 begins to rotate at low speed for the first special game (110).

After that, the player chooses whether to try a doubling game where the winning payout is doubled (however, if the winning payout is not achieved, the payout will be drastically reduced), or whether to accept the payout of payout medals with the current payout unchanged. It can be done (111). When the stop button 29 for the doubling game is pressed (112), the game shifts to the doubling game, and when the disk switch 14 for the disk 4 is pressed (113), the game shifts to the first special game.

When the player presses the stop button 29 (112), the stop signal is taken into the CPU. Thereby, the CPU stops the blinking control, lights only one of the lamps 51 or 52 that was on at the time of the stop operation, and turns off the other lamp 51 or 52.

At this time, the lamp 51 showing an odd number,
If the number on the disk 4 stopped at the target 28 position is "1" or "3", there is a "hit", and if not, there is a "miss". Also, if the lamp 52 with an even number is lit, the target 2
If the number on the disk 4 stopped at the 8th position is "2" or "4", it is a "win", otherwise it is a "miss".

Once the doubling game has been determined (114), the CPU takes the next step and calculates the winning score (115). First, it calls up the winning score that was stored in RAM (the one that was stored when symbol reels 1, 2, and 3 stopped),
This is done by executing an operation that doubles the winning score if it is a "win" and sharply decreases it if it is a "miss".

When the double winning score is obtained in this way, it is added up by the CPU until the double winning score reaches 100 points (116). In addition, the added score is displayed on the winning score display 58. The player can play the doubling game any number of times until the number of points displayed on the winning score display 58 reaches 100 points. Note that if the player loses in the doubling game, the payout is reduced as will be described later, so the player is faced with both joys and sorrows each time he plays the doubling game.

When the total score reaches 100 points, the game moves to the first special game. Disk 4 is already rotating at low speed (110). In the first special game, if a moving mark M approaches or leaves a target 28 as the disc 4 rotates, and the player successfully stops the mark M at the target 28 position, the player wins. This is done by pressing the disk switch 14.

When the player presses the disk switch 14 (117), the drive signal from the CPU is immediately stopped, the rotation of the disk 4 is stopped, and the moving mark M is stopped (118). If the judgment is "win" (119), the CPU issues a drive signal to the hopper 42 to pay out 100 winning dividend medals (120),
After that, the game is over (150). If the judgment is "miss" (119), the game is over (150) without receiving any medals.

Since the moving mark M in this first special game is easier to hit as described above, in most cases, the player can obtain winning payout medals that are double the amount.

Even if the winning score does not reach 100 points,
If the player presses and operates the disk switch 14, the player can move to the first special game from that point, and can also receive the medals for the double payout (of course less than 100 medals) that have been won up to that point. .

Next, the case where the disk switch 14 is pressed immediately in step (111) will be explained. In this case, the game shifts to the first special game without entering the doubling game. Then, by pressing the disk switch 14 (113), the moving mark M stops (121), but when it becomes a "win" (122), the winning medal (not doubled, of course) is paid out (123) ). If you do not get a "hit", the game is over without any medals being paid out (150).

Next, we will explain what happens when you do not win in the normal game. If you do not win in the normal game, it means that the judgment in step (109) in Figure 4 is NO, and in this case, you will be transferred to the second special gate shown in step (124) and later. . Note that in the event that the player loses in the doubling game shown in step (114), the second special game is also played. Note that the second special game executed here is intended to give the player a chance to win a low payout score even if he loses in the normal game or doubling game.

If the judgment results in step (109) and step (114) are "off", the CPU issues a drive signal to the stepping motor 8 to rotate the disk 4 at a low speed. Thereafter, when the moving mark M is stopped (126) by pressing the disk switch 14 (125), a determination is made as to whether or not it is correct in step (127). If the judgment result in step (127) is "hit", the disc score is added up until it reaches 10 points, and the added value is displayed on the added score display 59 (128). Note that the disk score is determined in step (104) in FIG.
1 to 4 displayed on the score display 57 (104)
The score is When this added score reaches 10 points or more (129), a drive signal is issued from the CU to the hopper 42, and one medal is paid out for every 10 points (130). At the same time, the previous score is cleared, and if there is a fraction of 10 points or more, that fraction is added and displayed on the score display 60. If the determination result of the second special game is "lost", the disc score will not be added and the game will be over (150). In the second special game, the number of medals paid out is one for every 10 points, and the payout ratio is reduced to 1/10 compared to the first special game, where points and medals are paid out on a one-to-one basis.

FIG. 5 shows other game contents in case no prize is won in the normal game. The feature here is that you can play a doubling game for the number of disk points, and the connector C in Figure 4
This can be used in place of the following content. Note that steps (131) to (138) in FIG. 5 are a second special game similar to steps (124) to (130) in FIG. It will be executed if you press 14.

If the push button 29 is pressed at step (132), the game shifts to the doubling game from step (139) to step (142). The doubling game here is a game that gives a chance to double the disk score determined in step (103) in FIG. 4, and is executed in the same manner as steps (112) to (116) in FIG. Ru. And “hit”
If you are successful (140), your 1-4 disk points will be doubled each time (141), and you can try as many times as you like until you reach 100 points. Score is 100
When the point is reached, execute the first special game from step (143) to step (145) and receive the dividend medal.
10 coins are paid out. This step is executed in the same manner as steps (117) to (120) in FIG. Furthermore, in step (142)
Even if the score does not reach 100, if the disc switch 14 is pressed (146), the number of medals corresponding to the score at that time will be paid out (148), and the game will be over (150).

Embodiment 2 In Embodiment 1, the number of winning lines is fixed to only one, but it may be possible to select a plurality of winning lines.

Another such embodiment is shown in FIG. In this embodiment, five winning lines, a, b, a, b, are displayed on the reel window 22. If the number of medals inserted into the medal slot 9 before the start of the game is one, only one winning line will be selected, and if the number of medals inserted is two, three winning lines, a and b, will be selected. If the number of selected and inserted medals is three, control is performed so that five winning lines, a, b, a, b, are selected. Therefore, the winning determination in this embodiment is determined for each winning line selected based on the number of medals inserted.

Embodiment 3 In the present invention, the propriety determining device 10 can be any device as long as it can deny the propriety with a simple switch operation. Another example of the configuration of the validity determining device 10 will be described next.

In FIG. 7, 61 and 62 are lamps,
The two lamps 61 and 62 are made to blink alternately in response to a control signal from the microcomputer 30. Switches 63 and 64 are provided in association with the two lamps 61 and 62, respectively.

The player can freely select and press either switch 63 or 64, and when the switch 63 or 64 is pressed, the lamp 61 or 62 associated with that switch 63 or 64 will light up. If it lights up, it is considered a "win". A "hit" determination is made by determining whether an ON signal is input from the corresponding switch at the moment when the lighting signal is being issued to the microcomputer 30.

Embodiment 4 The validity determining device 10 shown in FIG. 8 uses a 7-segment numeric display 65.
The numbers are sequentially and repeatedly displayed by a control signal from the microcomputer 30. The display is stopped by pressing one of the two switches 63 and 64. When the switch 63 is pressed, if the stop display is an odd number, it is a "hit", otherwise it is a "miss", and when the switch 64 is pressed, if the stop display is an even number, it is a "hit", and if it is not. If not, it is said to be "missing". The "win" determination is also performed by the microcomputer 30.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[Effects of the Invention] The rotating drum type game machine of the present invention has a high eye-catching effect of the rotating disc, and moreover, it is possible to enjoy various sub-games such as the doubling game, the first and second special games, etc. with just one disc. This gives a change to slot machine games, which tend to be monotonous.
It has the effect of doubling the fun.
