The control output of the microcomputer 98 is
It is given to the following circuits and elements. That is, the output of the microcomputer 98 is given to the output prohibiting circuit 110. The output prohibition circuit 110 is a microcomputer 98.
The output of the reel start control circuit 70 and / or the reel stop control circuit 100 is prohibited from being derived based on the signal from. In other words, if a predetermined number of game units of games have already been played within a predetermined period, which is one of the features of this embodiment, it is not possible to play more games within that period. The output inhibition circuit 110 inhibits the output of the reel start control circuit 70 and / or the reel stop control circuit 100 based on a signal from the microcomputer 98.

The output of the microcomputer 98 is also given to the driver 90. The driver 90 drives and controls the pulse motors 54a, 54b, 54c.
The output of the microcomputer 98 is given to the game end display circuit 124, the sound effect generation circuit 126, and the lamp circuit 128, and the lamps and speakers are drive-controlled to generate a lamp display and sound effects for enlivening the atmosphere of the game. Is output. Further, the signal of the microcomputer 98 is given to the bonus control circuit 130, and the bonus game control is also performed.

The microcomputer 98 is mainly composed of a CPU 132 which is the center of arithmetic control, a ROM 134 which stores an operation program of the CPU 132, a RAM 136 which is a writable and readable memory circuit, and a CPU 1.
It includes an input / output interface 138 for matching the 32 signals with external signals.

FIG. 4 is an illustrative view of a memory map of the RAM 136. In the RAM 136, 20 counters CT1 to CT20 for score calculation as a game unit (number of bets) and 20 timers T provided corresponding to each counter
1 to T20 are included.

In this embodiment, the control circuit of the pachi-slot 10 is composed of the control circuit centering on the microcomputer 98, but the control circuit is composed of discrete circuits such as combinations of logic circuits. Alternatively, a control circuit using a microcomputer and a partially discrete logic circuit together may be used.

5 to 8 are flowcharts for explaining the operation of the control circuit shown in FIG. Next, the operation of the control circuit shown in FIG. 3 will be described based on the flowcharts of FIGS. 5 to 8 and with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 as necessary.

First, in FIG. 5, when control is started, the microcomputer 98 inserts a game card,
It waits until one of the game selection buttons 28a, 28b, 28c is pressed. For example, when the button 28a designating a game unit (number of bets) "1" is pressed, it is determined whether or not the score stored in the game card is 1 or more, and if it is not 1 or more, that is, if there is no score, the game is played. The end lamp 50 is turned on to end the control.

When the score is 1 or more, the counter is incremented by +1.
Then, the corresponding timer is started. Similarly, when the game selection button 28b for designating the game unit (number of bets) "2" is pressed, it is determined whether or not the score is 2 or more, and if the score is 2 or more, the counter is incremented by +2, and the action is taken. To start the timer. The same control is performed in the case of the game selection button 28c for designating the game unit (number of bets) "3". As a result, when the game unit (number of bets) to be executed is 1, the counter CT1 = 1, CT2-CT20 = 0, and when the game unit (number of bets) to be executed becomes 2, the counter CT1 = 2,
CT2 = 1, CT3 to CT20 = 0, and when the game unit (number of bets) to be executed becomes 3, counter CT1 = 3,
CT2 = 2, CT3 = 1, CT4 to CT20 = 0, ...
When the game unit (number of bets) to be executed reaches 19, the counter CT1 = 19, CT2 = 18, CT3 = 17,
..., CT19 = 1, CT20 = 0, and when the game unit (number of bets) to be executed reaches 20, the counter CT1 = 2
0, CT2 = 19, CT3 = 18, ..., CT19 = 2,
CT20 = 1. Further, each time the count value of each counter becomes "1", the corresponding timer is sequentially started.

After that, the microcomputer 98 puts the gaming machine into a game starting state and waits for the player to press the start button 24.

When the start button 24 is turned on, a signal is given from the microcomputer 98 to the driver 90,
The pulse motors 54a, 54b, 54c are activated and the rotary reels 22a, 22b, 22c are rotated.

Stop button 2 by the player within a fixed time
6a, 26b, 26c is pushed or a certain time has elapsed, the microcomputer 98 turns the rotary reel 22
Stop a, 22b and 22c. That is, the rotations of the pulse motors 54a, 54b, 54c are stopped.

The microcomputer 98 detects and discriminates the combination of display patterns when the rotation of the rotating reels 22a, 22b, 22c is stopped. If the display pattern is a line of bonus patterns, a bonus chime sound is generated,
When the bonus pattern arrangement is not performed, the winning determination is made without generating the bonus chime sound. When the predetermined patterns are lined up, it is a prize, and the microcomputer 98 calculates the score according to the prize and displays it on the score display 23.
Further, in the case of a bonus prize, the number of bonus games is determined. Here, the bonus game is a combination of predetermined patterns during 30 games, for example, “7”,
It is a game value given when either "watermelon mark" or "BAR" is aligned along the display line. In the bonus game, by pressing the game selection button 28a and turning on the start button 24, the three rotating reels 2
2a, 22b, 22c start rotating. Even if the game selection buttons 28b and 28c are erroneously pressed, it is sufficient to subtract the score "1". When the stop button 26a is pressed, the left reel 22a stops, but when the display "jack" comes to the center at this time, the bonus game is won, and 15 points are obtained, for example. Next, stop button 2 in the center
6b is activated, the stop button 26b is turned on, the middle reel 22b is stopped, and it is determined whether or not "jack" is displayed, and the score is calculated. The same applies to the right reel 22c.

As described above, the microcomputer 9
8 adds the score (displayed by the score display 23) obtained by winning to the score read by the card reading / writing device 90 (displayed by the score display 23), and adds the total to the game. Card entry slot 2
The control for discharging from 5 is performed. The microcomputer 98 constitutes a value storage means capable of storing the valuable value owned by the player. Further, the microcomputer 98 starts one game by using the valuable value owned by the player stored in the value storage means,
It also includes a value updating means for additionally storing a predetermined valuable value in the value storing means when the game result of the one game is in a predetermined state in which the value can be added.

The detailed control of the above-described image display detection, winning determination, score calculation, and bonus game will be omitted.

In this embodiment, the interrupt control shown in FIG. 8 is performed. Referring to FIG. 8, a microcomputer 98
Performs the interrupt control shown in FIG. 8 at regular time intervals. That is, the CPU 132 reads the count value of the counter of the RAM 136, checks whether or not the count value is the counter of “20”, and when there is, detects the time value of the timer corresponding to the counter. Then, it is determined whether or not the timer value T _N is 1 minute or more.

FIG. 9 is an illustrative view drawn in order to explain the contents of the detection control more easily. Referring to FIG. 9, counters CT1 and CT2 provided in RAM 136
“0” is incremented by “1” in sequence from CT1 each time the game unit (number of bets) increases. For example, when the game unit (the number of bets) "1" is detected, only the count value of the counter CT1 becomes "1", and the other counters are "0".
When the next game unit (number of bets) "2" is detected as it is, CT1 becomes "2", CT2 becomes "1",
When the gaming unit (number of bets) is "3", CT1 becomes "3", CT2 becomes "2", CT3 becomes "1",
… When the game unit (number of bets) reaches “20”, CT
1 becomes "20", CT2 becomes "19", ..., C
T20 becomes "1". When the gaming unit (number of bets) becomes “21”, CT1 becomes “1” again, and so on. Further, in response to the count value of the counter becoming “1”, the CPU 136 causes the RAM 136 to
The corresponding timers T1 to T20 in the above are started, and the timers start time counting. For example, when the count value of the counter CT1 is "1", the timer T1 starts measuring time, and when the count value of the counter CT2 is "1", the timer T1 is started.
2 starts timing, and so on.

When the count value of the counter reaches "20", a corresponding timer, for example, counter CT
When the count value of 1 is "20", the time measured by the timer T1 is determined, and it is determined whether the measured time has passed 1 minute. If one minute has not passed, as shown in FIG. 8, by immobilizing any operation of the gaming machine, that is, the pachi-slot 10 until the timer measures one minute, " 20 ”or more game units (number of bets)
Are restricted from being used for games.

Immobilizing any operation of the pachi-slot 10 means, for example, returning the game card,
For example, prohibiting the start switch, prohibiting the stop switch, prohibiting the rotation of the pulse motors 54a to 54c, and the like. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG.
The operation of at least one of the start switch and the stop switch is prohibited.

By doing so, only a predetermined number of games can be played within a certain period of time, and it is possible to prevent unreasonable accumulation of the number of games by wasting more points.

In this embodiment, the counter and the timer are software-configured by the microcomputer 98, but instead of this, a 20-decimal counter which outputs a count-up signal and self-resets when 20 pieces are counted. Twenty counters are provided, the twenty counters are connected in a ring shape, and the subsequent counters are activated in response to the "1" output of the preceding counter, and the twenty counters are connected.
It may be a discrete logic circuit having a configuration in which 20 timers are provided corresponding to the respective advance counters.

FIG. 10 is an illustrative view showing one example of a display device in which the game unit number display and the time display are associated with each other. As shown in FIG. 10, by arranging the game unit number display and the time display unit on a concentric circle and expressing the usage ratio of the game unit number (betting number) with respect to time, how much will oneself within a certain period of time? There is an advantage that you can see at a glance whether you are using game units at the pace of.

Next, another control operation of the pachi-slot 10 will be described. FIG. 11 is an illustrative view of the storage contents of the RAM 136 necessary for performing the control described below in the control circuit of FIG. As shown in FIG. 11, in this control, the RAM 136 has a so-called soft timer area 1 for integrating the input signals from the CPU 132 to measure the time, a one-point flag area, a two-point flag area, and three.
A point flag area and a counter area for storing the number of inserted coins are required.

12 to 15 are flow charts for explaining the control operation. Next, FIGS.
Another control operation by the control circuit shown in FIG. 3 will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. 1 and with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 11 as necessary.

First, in FIG. 12, when control is started and a game card is inserted, the microcomputer 98
Detects whether any one of the game selection buttons 28a, 28b, 28c is turned on, and when any one is turned on, determines whether or not there is a score according to the turned on game selection button.

When there is a score, one of the one-point flag, the two-point flag and the three-point flag of the RAM 136 is turned on based on the turned-on selection button, and the timer is started. Then, the count value of the counter is incremented by the value corresponding to the flag.

By accumulating the count value of this counter, the game unit (number of bets) played in the pachi-slot 10 can be stored.

Next, the microcomputer 98 sets the pachi-slot 10 in the game start state and waits for the player to press the start button 24. In FIG. 13, a signal is given from the microcomputer 98 to the driver 90 in response to an input from the start button 24, and the pulse motor 54
a, 54b, 54c are activated, and the rotating reels 22a, 2a
2b and 22c are rotated.

Stop button 2 by the player within a fixed time
The rotating reels 22a, 22b, and 22c are stopped when 6a, 26b, and 26c are pushed or when a predetermined time has elapsed. That is, the pulse motors 54a, 54b, 54c
To stop the rotation of.

Turning to FIG. 14, the microcomputer 9
Reference numeral 8 detects and determines a combination of display patterns when the rotation of the rotating reels 22a, 22b, 22c is stopped. The control of the score calculation and the bonus game after this control is the same as the control of the above-described embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted here.

Next, referring to FIG. 15, the microcomputer 98 accesses the flag area of the RAM 136 after one game ends or after the bonus game ends, and
It is determined whether the point flag is on, the two-point flag is on, or the three-point flag is on. If the one-point flag is on, it is determined whether the time value of the timer T is 3 seconds or more. If the two-point flag is on, it is determined whether the timer T value is 6 seconds or more.
When the point flag is on, it is determined whether the value of the timer T is 9 seconds or more. If the value of the timer T has not reached the predetermined number of seconds, until the measured value of the timer T reaches the predetermined number of seconds,
Disables a specific operation of the pachi-slot 10. Immobilizing a specific operation means, for example, disabling the game selection button or disabling the operation of the start button 24.

By doing so, only a predetermined number of game units can be played within a certain period of time, and by wasting more game units, it becomes impossible to repeat the game count with innocence. By the program of the flow chart shown in FIG. 8 or the program of the flow chart shown in FIG. 15, there is a regulation means for regulating that the valuable value owned by the player is used for the game in a predetermined amount or more. It is configured.

[0052]

According to the present invention, since it is possible to play one game by using the valuable value owned by the player stored in the value storage means, the player can play the game before playing one game. It is not always necessary to throw in a value object one by one, and it is possible to prevent the player from arousing the game as a result of throwing in a value object. Moreover, since it is restricted that the valuable value owned by the player is used in the game for a predetermined amount or more in a predetermined period, many valuable players are expected to spend a relatively short time without fully enjoying the game. The inconvenience of wasting value can be prevented as much as possible, and the game can be played fairly fairly by any game machine or any player.
