Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game machine, more specifically, a game machine in which an electric mechanism is provided in a game machine frame and a game machine frame control means for controlling the electric mechanism is additionally provided. Regarding

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a glass frame of a gaming machine is composed of a frame-shaped frame body having a square opening in the center, and this frame body has a function of holding glass. That is, the glass frame is made of metal, and a holding portion capable of holding two glasses is formed on the back surface side of the glass frame. Then, the glass frame is fixed to a hinge formed on an edge decoration frame fixed to the edge of the opening of the front frame with a nail, and is configured to be opened and closed while covering the game board on the front side of the game machine. Has been done. In addition, a band member (for example, an inner band, an outer band) on the surface of the game board or a partition wall formed on a side case that decorates the side portion of the game board forms a game area, and the game ball is launched from the launcher to the game area. Shoot towards and play a game. And a glass frame is placed on the front side of the game board,
The partition of the game area, which is formed by the partition wall of the game board, is visible from the opening of the glass frame from the front side of the game machine. It is also considered that the glass frame is made of resin.

Further, in the conventional game machine, a speaker for producing a sound effect is provided on the back side of the opening / closing panel or the front frame.
Individually equipped. There are some differences in the layout of the speakers depending on the model and the manufacturer. A single speaker outputs a plurality of types of sounds, such as a winning ball discharge sound, a big hit sound, and a reach sound. The control circuit that controls the output of the sound controls the generation of the monaural sound, and the monaural sound is output from one speaker. Note that only the sound from the gaming machine can be generated, and the sound from the outside of the gaming machine (for example, the sound based on the input information from the management device) is not output. In addition, in the conventional game machine, the game control circuit mainly controls the display device that performs the display related to the accessory device and the game, and the discharge control circuit controls the discharge of the ball and the control related to the launch of the ball. Is performed by the firing control circuit. Further, the ornamental body (for example, a pilot lamp or the like) on the front surface of the game machine is controlled by the game control circuit.

[0004]

By the way, the conventional game machine has the following problems in terms of various controls. (B) Since the accessory control device, the display related to the game, and the ornament on the front of the game machine are all performed by the game control circuit, the circuit configuration is complicated and the control load is heavy. . (B) In the conventional game control circuit, the control capacity of the circuit tends to be insufficient, and it has been difficult to sufficiently fulfill various functional requirements at a higher level. In other words, if the game control circuit is made as a single unit that sufficiently fulfills various functional requirements, it will complicate the circuit and increase costs, so if you try to improve the performance with the conventional configuration, the control capacity of the circuit Was running out. (C) Conventionally, when the configuration of the frame portion of the gaming machine is different, a frame control unit is provided for each game control circuit to perform control according to the configuration of the frame portion, and this frame control unit controls the frame portion. It is carried out. Therefore, the game control circuit could not be shared. That is, even though the game control part is the same, the content of the frame control is different, so that it is difficult to share the game control circuit even in the same type of gaming machine (for example, the first type). Therefore, it has not been possible to use it in any game machine frame. As a result, for example, it is disadvantageous when the game board is replaced, and it is necessary to replace the game machine frame with a game control circuit of a controllable type, resulting in a high cost. (D) Since the monaural sound was only output from one speaker, the decoration of the game information was not sufficient. (E) The control of the lucky number game is an extremely simple control (for example, just turning on the lamp) in the game control circuit, and does not correspond to the complicated lucky number game control. Lucky number sales were not enough for the hall.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine which can share the individual circuit processing in the game control, can prevent the circuit from becoming complicated, and can perform sufficient game control.

As a preferred mode, for example, the electric mechanism has a stereo sound output means capable of outputting a stereo sound, and the gaming machine frame control means outputs the stereo sound. The means may include a stereo sound control means that can be controlled by stereo sound. For example, as described in claim 3, the electrical mechanism body once replaces the lucky identification information that allows the player to continue playing the game with the winning prize ball and the winning prize ball, and then re-rents the ball. The player has a display means capable of performing a display related to a lucky number game for judging the continuation of the game by the unlucky identification information which enables the player to continue the game, and the gaming machine frame control means, You may make it include the lucky number game control means which can control the display relevant to the lucky number game displayed on a display means. For example, as described in claim 4, the electric mechanism has game data display means for displaying game data, and the gaming machine frame control means is a game data display capable of controlling display of the game data display means. You may make it include a control means. For example, as described in claim 5, the gaming machine may have an external connection means for connecting the gaming machine frame control means and an external device.

[0008]

In the present invention, the electric mechanism is arranged in the game machine frame, and the game machine frame control means for controlling this electric mechanism is provided at a predetermined position of the game machine frame. Therefore, by disposing the game machine frame control means for controlling the electric mechanism in the game machine frame separately from the game control circuit, the load on the game control circuit can be reduced and the circuit can be prevented from becoming complicated. By providing the gaming machine frame control means in the gaming machine frame and individualizing them separately from the gaming control circuit, it becomes possible to enhance the functions of the gaming machine frame control means. As a result, the game control circuit does not have to fulfill the function of the game machine frame control means,
The control capacity is also sufficient to meet various functional requirements at a higher level. Further, it is possible to avoid complication of the configuration of the game control circuit and increase in cost. When the configuration of the frame portion of the game machine is different, the game machine control circuit is shared by providing game machine frame control means for performing control along the frame portion separately from the game control circuit and providing the game machine frame. be able to. Therefore, it becomes possible to use the game control circuit in any game machine frame. As a result, for example, it is advantageous when exchanging the game board, the game machine frame control means does not need to be replaced, and the cost (replacement cost of the game board) is reduced.

By providing a stereo sound output means in the electric mechanism and controlling the stereo sound output means with stereo sound by the gaming machine frame control means, it is possible to sufficiently decorate the game information. By providing a display means for displaying the lucky number game on the electric mechanism and controlling the display means by the lucky number game control means included in the gaming machine frame control means, the control of the lucky number game can be performed in a complicated manner. It is possible for the hole to be a sufficient number in terms of lucky number sales.

The lucky number setter 878 may be configured so that the staff can directly touch the lucky number setter 878 to set the lucky number and set the appearance rate of the symbols displayed in the lucky number determination game. .

The lucky number and the unlucky number are set as follows, for example.・ Whole lucky numbers: For example, "1", "3",
"5" -Unlucky number: for example, "4", "9" -Special lucky number: for example, "7" Here, the game mode in the hole will be described, particularly the hole lucky number. The business forms in the hall are roughly divided into the following. Simple lucky number game Only when a lucky number big hit occurs, you can play a ball game. For example, a ball game can be played only when a big hit occurs with a lucky number of "3" or "5".
When a big hit occurs with other symbols (for example, "2"), it is necessary to exchange all the balls. Lucky number, unlucky number game Lucky number big hit occurrence (for example, "3",
"5") starts the ball game. You have no balls, or you have an unlucky number (for example,
All balls are exchanged due to the big hit in "4"). Alternatively, the player may voluntarily stop the game.

Lucky number, unlucky number, special lucky number game Lucky number (for example, "3"), a big jackpot occurrence (for example, "7") at the special lucky number causes the ball game to start. In the case of a ball game with a lucky number, an unlucky number (for example,
All balls are exchanged due to the big hit in "4"). In case of big hit with special lucky number,
There is no exchange of balls throughout the day. However, when there are no balls remaining, the ball game may be invalidated or the ball game may be continuously enabled. Even if it is a special lucky number, for example, if the player changes, the ball game is invalidated. Unlimited by designated time For example, "From opening to 12:00", "2 hours before closing"
Unlimited business with limited time, etc. (ball games can be played with all patterns). Addition of a lucky number by specifying the time For example, during the period from "open until 12:00", etc., the lucky number is usually "1" or "3" plus "5".
Is to add (or decrease).

All day unlimited There is no exchange of balls for all jackpot designs. This is advantageous for the player. Complete one-time exchange system Even if you hit big with any design, you are forced to exchange the payout after the big hit. However, when a big hit occurs again in the starting memory after the big hit ends, the payout balls are exchanged after the big hit ends. Only unlucky numbers are set. All big hits other than unlucky numbers are unlimited, and when a big hit of unlucky numbers (for example, "4" and "9") occurs, all winning balls are exchanged. Others Quantitative system: A system that forces the exchange of balls according to the prescribed number of balls, and is also called a stop system. Probability fluctuation: It is possible to play a ball game only while the jackpot probability is increasing.

The receiver 879 receives a signal (for example, an infrared signal) from the remote controller 881 possessed by an attendant, and the signal received by the receiver 879 is A / D.
Signal processing such as conversion is performed and sent to the frame control CPU 875. Note that the transmission medium of the remote controller 881 is not limited to an infrared signal, but may be another one (for example, ultrasonic waves or radio waves). The frame control CPU 875 executes the lucky number determination game and the process of determining the stop symbol with the content set by the lucky number setting device 878 based on the signal from the receiver 879. A drive signal is output from the frame control CPU 875 to the gaming machine information display 902, the opening edge display 834, and the gaming machine upper display 835 via the output driver 880, and the frame side external information terminal board (external connection) Means) 872 to output signals and data to the outside of the gaming machine.

As described above, the gaming machine upper display 835 performs various types of decorative state display regarding the gaming board 10, that is, the following display. Further, the accessory IC 801 constitutes a notification control means.・ Normal state (normal state of special map) ・ Fluctuation state of special map ・ Reach state (including special reach) ・ Disengagement state ・ Big hit fanfare state ・ Big hit state ・ Probability fluctuation state (both special map and special figure) In addition, the lucky number game state (ball game state) displayed by the gaming machine information display 902 may be displayed on the gaming machine upper display 835.

The data output from the frame control circuit 901 to the outside is transmitted to the management device 850, and the management device 850 collects data from each gaming machine and creates sales data and the like. For example, a big hit signal was transmitted, but conventionally, the management device 850 could not collect the big hit symbol data. On the other hand, in this embodiment, it is possible to collect the situation data of the lucky number game by transmitting the symbol data of the lucky number game to the management device 850. Further, the data output from the frame control circuit 901 to the outside is transmitted to the island equipment, and can be used for the production of the island equipment (for example, the production of fanfare in the island equipment when a big hit occurs). Be seen. Note that the frame control circuit 901 may decorate another decoration display device. For example, the decoration lamps 341 arranged on the upper decoration lamp relay board 306 may be controlled to control lighting (or blinking) of these decoration lamps 341 according to the gaming state.

The operation of this embodiment having the above configuration will be described. A normal type 1 game on a gaming machine is well known and will not be described. FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing a control program of the frame control circuit 901. This control program is repeatedly executed every predetermined time. When the program starts, it is first determined in step S10 whether or not there is a setting change. The setting change here is to change the setting of the lucky number or the appearance rate of the symbols displayed in the lucky number determination game.
Is performed by operating. Therefore, it is determined whether or not the remote controller 881 is operated whether the setting is changed. If there is a setting change, the process branches to step S12 to set the lucky number information (that is, the lucky number setting, the appearance rate of the symbols displayed in the lucky number determination game). If there is any change in the appearance rate of the symbols displayed in the lucky number setting game or the lucky number determination game, step S12
Perform the setting process with. If both are changed, the lucky number is set and the appearance rate of the symbols displayed in the lucky number determination game is set in step S12. After step S12, then step S1
Go to 4. On the other hand, if there is no setting change in step S10, the process directly proceeds to step S14.

In step S14, data communication processing with the accessory IC 801 is performed. As a result, the IC 801 for accessory products
And necessary data communication is performed between the frame control circuit 901 and the frame control circuit 901.
The game data is transmitted to, the voice generation command, the decoration display command, and the like are transmitted. Then
In step S16, an external device (eg, management device 850)
Necessary data communication is exchanged with the. For example,
Music, stoppage information data, etc. are transmitted from the management device 850 to the frame control circuit 901, the jackpot probability is set (or the lucky number may be set or the appearance rate of the symbols displayed in the lucky number determination game may be set). The command is sent when you do remotely. Next, in step S18, a gaming machine information display 902.
