Note that terminal game devices provided in other game halls are also configured in the same manner as shown in FIG. 4.

FIG. 5 is a plan view of the display 204 of the terminal game device 12 not shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, in this display 204, the current game is displayed on the game display section 301, and the results of past games are displayed on the past game display section 302. In addition, information such as the game Wt@, whether or not coins can be inserted, etc., is also displayed.

Next, the operation of the system of the above embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In order to simplify the explanation, it is assumed that the terminal game device is provided in the main game hall.

First, when a [3ET start command is sent from the main CPU 101 (3100>), this is sent to the station CPU 2.
01 (3200), and it becomes possible to insert a coin (BET) into the coin insertion section 20B (320
2>. Insertion of this coin is allowed for a predetermined time. When the game ends on 8 and preparations for starting the game are completed, a signal to indicate the game is sent from the station CPU 201 (
3204).

Note that while BET is allowed, the main CPU 10
1 displays a message prompting a bet via the information display 104 (3102>).

When the BET end and reception of the game start preparation completion report signal is completed for all terminal gaming devices 12 (3104),
The main CPU 101 is connected to each terminal game device 12.
A prohibition (termination) command is transmitted (3106). As a result, BEET to each terminal game device 12 is prohibited, and a display to that effect is displayed on the display 204 (S206.5208).

When BET is prohibited, each station CP U2O5
selects a payline (winning condition) (S210)
. For example, the payline is 3 horizontally and 2 diagonally.
If it is a book, if there is one coin inserted, only the top horizontal line is displayed, if two coins are inserted, only the two upper horizontal lines, and so on. The paylines increase according to the number of cards. Nao, this number of inserted coins is the number of coins inserted into the coin insertion section 208 of the terminal game device 12, and this number is determined by a coin detection section (not shown) built in the coin insertion section 208. . Also, payline selection is
For each terminal gaming device 12, its station CPIJ20
This is done under the control of 1. The selected payline is then stored in the shared memory 207.

After selecting the payline, send and receive the game serial number (S
110,52”12) and its display (S112.52
14> is done. This game serial number is an example of a serial number for each game, and is used to facilitate troubleshooting when a problem occurs later. Note that this work regarding the game serial number may be performed during or before selecting a payline. The number of coins set and the station I/D number are also transmitted and received (3114). This bet number is the main CP
He was defeated in the East Gothic League in U101 (8116).

Furthermore, when applying the link progressive method described later, it is used to divide the coin payout rate.

When the preprocessing described above is completed, the main CPU 101
A game start command is sent to each station CPU 201 (3118°3218). As a result, the game enters the starting state, and the reel rotation is displayed on the game display 103 of the main game device 11 (31
20>.

Also, in the terminal game device 12, the station CP
By the action of U 201, the rotation of the reels is displayed on the display 204 (S220). The rotation control of the reels itself is controlled by the main CPU 101 and the main CPU 101, respectively.
This is done individually at station CPtJ 201, and the generation of symbol images is also done individually at symbol images 111 and 206. In other words, the station CPU 201 independently controls the rotation display of the reels, except that the timing of starting the rotation of the reels follows the command from the main CPU 101.

When the reel rotation starts to be displayed, the main CPU 101 calculates the reel stop position or symbols (312).
2>. This calculation is performed by using, for example, random numbers to select the stopping position of the reel. And main CPU10
1 transmits a code number indicating the reel stop position (S124), and controls the game display 103 to stop the reel at the selected position (8126).

Further, the station CPU 201, which has received the code number etc. indicating the reel stop position/symbol (3222), controls the game display section 301 of the display 204 to stop the reels at the selected position (S224>.Then, the above operation is performed). is continued until all the reels stop (S128.3226>. In this way, the reel stopping operation is performed entirely by the main CPU 101 and the station CPU 20, except that only the selection of the stop position is performed by the main CPU 10I. It is done independently in l.

When all the reels have stopped, the main CPU 101 determines the winnings for all paylines (3130).
), the winning line is displayed (3132). On the other hand, the station CPU 201 determines the hit for the unique payline selected in 3210 (8
228), and if there is a hit, the number of winning pieces is calculated (S230). The number of winning coins may be determined based on a payout rate given in advance by the main CPU 101, or may be determined based on a payout rate stored in the shared memory 207.

Once the winning has been determined and the number of winning coins has been calculated, the next step is to send and receive the number of winning coins (3232゜3134>).
The winning coins are paid out (3234). This coin payout is performed independently for each station CPU 201. That is, the station CPU 201 controls the coin dispensing unit 209 to dispense the calculated number of coins 5230T'' from the coin dispensing device (not shown) to the coin tray 223.

After the coins are paid out, the number of coins to be paid out is sent and received (3236, 5136), and the main CPU 101
In this step, a collection h1 of the number of winning coins and the number of paid coins (13<) is made to all terminal gaming devices (8138). Then, the next game starts QWi (3144.3242).

In preparation for starting the next game, the following operations may be performed.

For example, when the main device is online connected as a system to another business management computer, the results are sent to the business management computer every time each game is completed.

Then, the computer records the total number of coins bet εp]in and the total number of coins paid out.

Although not shown in flowcharts 1 to 6 in FIG. 6, the television camera 13 is in operation during the game, so the state of the main play area 1 can be seen through the monitor display 63 at other play areas. 2.3.4 can also be conveyed. Moreover, from the speaker 114 of the main f1 play device 11,
Sound effects are played as appropriate.

The configuration and operation of the embodiment have been explained above, but the present invention provides a CP not only for the main i-game device but also for the terminal game device.
One of the '4! r? m.

In addition, the progress of the game on the main play device and the progress of the game on the terminal play device are correlated with each other, and combined with the use of a television camera and monitor display,
Another feature is that it greatly improves the beauty of coin play beasts.

Therefore, by using the device of the present invention, the enjoyment of the conventional game system can be greatly improved. below,
This will be explained specifically.

Conventionally, two types of game systems for the thrower 1 machine have been known: a fixed number payment system and a progressive system. The progressive method includes what is called a stand-alone method and what is called a link progressive method.

The fixed number of coins payment system is used for ordinary single thrower machines, and the number of coins to be paid out to the player of that machine is specified for each machine.

Therefore, for example, when all "7" symbols are aligned, 1000 coins are always paid out.

On the other hand, in the progressive system, the number of J coins to be paid out is not fixed, but is set to a predetermined minimum number and increases under certain conditions. In other words, the stand-alone type 51 is generally used in a normal stand-alone slot machine, but the maximum number of coins to be paid out is not specified (however, a lower limit is determined). For example, the amount of the jackpot (Juck-Pot) increases at a constant rate with respect to the number of coins inserted from the time the previous jackpot was won until the next jackpot. Then, the number (amount) of coins displayed when Ji-i-Tsukubo 1 ~ is rolled out is paid out, and the displayed amount returns to the original amount.

On the other hand, the so-called link progressive system is applied to a system in which a plurality of slot machines are connected to one central control unit. In other words, in this method, the machines used are ordinary slot machines, but 8, 10, or 20 machines of the same model are lined up in one place to form an island, and the entire island is one slot machine. X? I'm going to try to provide Tsukupot.

In this system, when a coin is inserted into any machine connected to one central unit 1-, a C0IN-IN signal is sent to the controller 1~roll unit 1~, and the ratio of the C0IN-IN signals is kept constant. The amount is increased from 1 to 1 at a rate of 1 to 1. Therefore, for example, in the case of an island consisting of 20 machines, if 20 players play at the same time, even if each player inserts one coin, 20 C0IN-IN signals will be collected in the controller, and therefore the jack The upper bound speed of the pot amount becomes faster.

Hira 1-(IT) of Shackpot is also connected to the island (+-100K) which machine is H
In other words, if one of the connected machines hits the designated jackpot, the player will receive a payout of the displayed amount. On the other hand, if someone plays Jackbo 1~ I-I I H,
The displayed amount returns to the starting amount, and the next C0IN-I
The amount is incremented based on the N signal. Control unit 1 ~ is C0IN-I from the connected machine
It processes the N signal, displays it on the display, and when someone hits jackbot 1 - HI TL, it receives the signal and performs a predetermined short sequence. Then, the staff came and HI
Pay money to someone who is Tb. Next, the control unit Beam Sera 1~
The displayed amount will return to the starting amount and the increment will start again.

According to the present invention, any of the above methods can be implemented. In other words, in the device of the present invention, the terminal game device is also equipped with a CPU, a coin payout unit, etc. that controls the progress of the game, so for example, when there are few players in the game hall, the fixed number of coins can be A stand-alone method, either a payment method or a progressive method, can be implemented at each terminal gaming device. In this case, for example, the main game device sends the amount and number of coins only for Jackbo 1 to the terminal game device, and also sends an instruction to the main game device to, for example, execute the game in a "stand) no loan progressive" manner. It is conceivable that the device sends it to a terminal gaming device.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, the link progressive system described above can be implemented in a system that is the largest in history, so that each player can feel a sense of solidarity. That is, the above-mentioned International Publication No. WO
In conventional devices such as ε36105113, a CPU was installed in the central units 1 to 1, which controlled many things such as game control and coin payout, so the number of terminal game devices was limited to about 10 to 20. I failed.

Of course, it is possible to install more than 100 terminal game devices by increasing the size of the CPU in the central unit and increasing the capacity of the communication couple, but this will result in a significant increase in cost.

In contrast, in the present invention, each terminal game device is equipped with a CPU for game control (CPU in the center) so that it can share the basic functions of a game machine such as a CPU and a coin payout section.
) It does not lead to an increase in the size of U, and it does not lead to an increase in the capacity of the communication cable. Furthermore, since the same game is played simultaneously at the center and at the terminals, each player can play the game with a sense of solidarity with other players.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications are possible.

In the embodiment, a one-thrower machine has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, “ken.

game” or rNUMB provided by Sigma Co., Ltd.
It can be used for various games such as "ERs Game". In the case of the slot machine game of the embodiment, the result of the game is either a win or a loss, and is the same for all players (betters). In other words, if the game result is correct, the money is a win, and if it is a mistake, everyone loses. On the other hand, in games where players make choices based on their own will, such as the Ken○ game or the NUMBERS game,
The game results provided by the main game device to each station are solely a means of determining the progress of the game or the results.
Therefore, very different results will occur depending on what the player selects at each station.

Further, even if it is applicable to slot machine games, it is not limited to the above-mentioned IJ synchronized progressive method.

Furthermore, various displays are configured by CRT displays, but are not limited to this. Also, C
For example, by combining only 16 RT displays,
The game display 103 of the 1f device 1 can also be configured as a monitor display 63, and the monitor display 63 may display only necessary information. The communication means can be realized by, for example, an optical fiber cable, but a coaxial cable or the like may also be used. Furthermore, the number of terminal game devices is not limited to 100 or 200, but 2.
You can use any number of devices as long as it is more than one.

Furthermore, the timing of stopping 13Elt is generally set according to the time from the start of the BET, but it is not limited to this. For example, the BET may be prohibited when the main gaming device confirms that the BET has ended and the player presses a confirmation button on the terminal gaming device. Alternatively, the player may press the start button after inserting the coins to bet, thereby timing the 13ET prohibition.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, the main game device executes the start and progress of the game according to preset procedures, and performs the minimum necessary control such as the start of the game, the result, the payout rate, etc. It has a working function to transmit only data to the terminal game device, and the terminal game device has a function that transmits only data to the terminal game device.
Based on the minimum necessary data from the main game device, the game progresses according to the set procedure, independently judges whether the selected winning conditions are met, and independently pays out coins. Since it has a movement function, there is an effect that even when a large number of terminal game devices are connected, the burden on the central processing device is not increased, and the burden on the communication means is not increased.

Further, according to the present invention, with respect to the above-mentioned game machine, the first game hall is provided with a television camera for viewing the front side of the main game device.
(2) Since the second play area is equipped with a playback device that plays back images from a television camera, even when a large number of terminal play devices are connected, the burden on the central processing unit does not increase, and the communication Without increasing the burden on the means, and even if some of the terminal game devices are installed in a different location from the main game device, it is sure to have the effect of allowing each gri game ministry to play with a sense of solidarity. .
