Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] This invention relates to the improvement of coin-insertion type gaming machines, such as slot machines and arrangement game machines, in which a predetermined game can be played by inserting a coin.

In particular, this invention has been improved by limiting the upper limit of the number of coins that can be inserted within a certain period of time, so that the gambling nature of the gaming machine can be moderately suppressed, allowing all players to enjoy fair and healthy gaming. This invention relates to a coin-insertion type game machine.

[Prior Art] A slot machine commonly called a pachi-slot is known as an example of a coin-input game machine. The name Pachislot comes from the fact that it is a slot machine installed in pachinko halls. Pachislot machines typically include three rotating reels (or rotating drums). You can start the rotating reels by inserting a predetermined number of coins and pressing the start button, and enjoy the displayed combinations when the rotating reels stop rotating, and the displayed combinations become the predetermined combinations. When you win, you can earn coins as prizes.

Current pachislot machines have restrictions such as how many seconds a game cycle must last from the time a coin is inserted until the prize is paid out based on the displayed combination when the rotating reels stop. It has not been. Therefore, a player who is relatively familiar with gaming machines can play one game in a very short time (several seconds), and can play games one after another in a short cycle.

On the other hand, when considering the game content of pachinko machines installed in the same pachinko halls as pachislot machines, in the case of pachinko machines equipped with electric ball striking devices, the upper limit of the number of pachinko balls that can be fired per minute is generally 100. controlled within 10 minutes. Therefore, no matter which player
You can only fire a maximum of 100 pachinko balls per minute, and if you borrow a certain number of pachinko balls, you can enjoy the game for at least the amount of time (minutes) equivalent to the quotient of the man-hours divided by 100. There is. In other words, if you look at it from a different perspective, anyone playing on any pachinko machine can enjoy the game for a certain amount of time. It is said to be a gaming machine with reduced

However, in the case of pachislot, such game control is not performed, so in some cases, players may end up inserting their coins into the machine one after another in a very short period of time, leaving them unable to fully enjoy the game. There is also the risk of wasting a large amount of money.

This invention was made in consideration of this background, and targets general coin-operated gaming machines such as pachi-slot machines, and regulates the upper limit of the number of coins that can be used for gaming within a certain period of time. To provide a coin-insertion type game machine which controls the game so that any player can play a healthy and enjoyable game by suppressing the value within a certain range.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention is a coin-insertion game machine that can play a predetermined game based on the insertion of a predetermined number of coins, and includes a coin detection system that detects the inserted coins. means, a playing time setting means that operates in response to the output of the coin detection means and sets a minimum playing time based on a predetermined number of coins, and before the playing time set by the playing time setting means expires, When there is a new output from the coin detection means (when the coin detection means detects a predetermined number of coins and there is also an output indicating that a coin has been detected), the set time of the play time setting means expires. and disabling means for disabling a certain control of the coin-inserting game machine until the coin-inserting game machine is activated.

[Operation] Coin-insertion type gaming machines usually allow predetermined games to be played based on the insertion of coins. The inserted coin is detected by the coin detecting means, and the playing time setting means sets the minimum playing time based on the detection output. Certain coin-operated machines are designed so that, even if you insert new coins for the next game, you will not be able to play a new game based on the newly inserted coins until the set minimum playing time has elapsed. Movement is disabled.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

RAM136 has CPU13
It includes a so-called soft timer area for measuring time by integrating human input signals from 2, a 1 flag area, a 2 flag area, a 3 flag area, and a counter for storing the number of coins inserted.

In this embodiment, the control circuit of the pachislot machine 10 is constructed by a control circuit centered on the microcomputer 98, but the control circuit may also be constructed by a discrete circuit such as a combination of logic circuits. Alternatively, it can be configured by a control circuit using a microcomputer and partially discrete logic circuits.

Figures 6A, 6B, 6C and 6D are
3 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the control circuit shown in the figure. Next, based on the flowcharts in FIGS. 68 to 6D, and as necessary,
The operation of the control circuit shown in FIG. 5 will be explained with reference to the drawings.

First, in FIG. 6A, when 1 control starts, the microcomputer 98 detects the coins in the coin storage tube 32 based on the signal state from the coin detection switch 104 provided in the coin storage tube 32 (see FIG. 1). If there are no coins, the game end display circuit 124
The game end lamp 50 (see FIG. 1) is turned on.

If there are coins, the player can press the game selection button 2.

Wait for manpower from either 0a, 60b, or 60e (see Figure 2). Selection switch 60a, 60b
, 60e are applied to the microcomputer 98 via the game selection circuit 102. Based on the supplied signal, the microcomputer 98
Turn on any one of the 36 1-sheet flag, 2-sheet flag, or 3-sheet flag and start the timer. Thereafter, the microcomputer 98 turns on and off the solenoid 64 (see FIG. 3) based on the supplied signal, and takes in the coins stored in the coin storage tube 32 one by one. and,
According to the number of coins taken in, the count value of a counter provided in the RAM 136 is sequentially incremented by 1 to reveal whether or not the number of coins correctly taken in is equal to the number of input switches.

Note that by accumulating the count value of this counter, the number of coins inserted into the pachi-slot machine 10 can also be stored.

The captured coin is detected by the coin identification detector 66 (see Fig. 3) and the fraudulent coin detection circuit 108 (Fig. 5), and in the case of a fraudulent coin that is not a genuine coin, a signal is sent to the microcomputer 98. is given. When the microcomputer 98 receives this signal, it gives a signal to the fraudulent coin sorting control circuit 118 and switches the switching solenoid 6.
5, the captured coins are returned to the coin tray 38 (see FIG. 3).

If the coin is genuine, microcomputer 9
Step 8 puts the pachi-slot machine 10 into a game start state and waits for the player to press the start button 24 (see FIG. 1) and input from the start switch 56.

Referring to FIG. 6B, a signal is given from the microcomputer 98 to the driver 90 in response to the input of the start switch 56, the pulse smokes 54a, 54b, and 54e are started, and the rotating reels 22a, 22b, and 22c are rotated. .

In this state, coin insertion prohibition processing is performed to prevent further coin insertion.

Stop button 26a by the player within a certain period of time.

26b, 26c (see Figure 1) are pressed or a certain period of time has elapsed, the rotating reels 22a, 22b, 2
Stop 2c. That is, the pulse motors 54a, 5
4b, the rotation of 548 is stopped.

Moving to FIG. 6C, the microcomputer 98 exposes and determines the combination of symbols displayed when the rotation of the rotating reels 22a, 22b, and 22c has stopped.

When the displayed symbols are in the sequence of bonus symbols, a bonus chime sound is generated, and when the displayed symbols are not in the sequence of bonus symbols, winning is determined without generating the bonus chime sound. When the predetermined symbols line up, it is a winning, and the microcomputer 98 pays out the number of coins corresponding to the winning. Furthermore, in the case of a bonus win, the number of bonus games is determined. Here, the bonus game is game 30.
A predetermined combination of symbols during the round, for example "7"
This is the gaming value given when either the "watermelon mark" or rBARJ line up along the display line. In the bonus game, when one coin is lost and the start switch 56 is turned on, the three rotating reels 22a,
22b and 22c start rotating. Then, only the left stop switch 58a is activated. Stop switch 58a
When the left reel 22a is pressed, the left reel 22a stops, and if the displayed "Jack" comes to the center at this time, a bonus game is won and, for example, 15 coins are paid out. When one coin is inserted again, the center stop switch 58b is activated, the middle reel 22b is stopped by turning on the switch 58b, it is determined whether "Jack" is displayed, and the coin payout process is performed. It will be done. The same applies to the right reel 22c.

Since the control related to display symbol detection, winning determination, coin payout, and bonus game as described in FIG. 6C is not a feature of this embodiment, a detailed explanation of 1- will be omitted from here on.

A feature of this embodiment is that the control shown in FIG. 6D is performed. Referring to FIG. 6D, microcomputer 98 accesses the flag area of RAM 136 after one game or bonus game ends, and determines whether the 1-card flag is on, the 2-card flag is on, or the 3-card flag is on. is on. When the 1 flag is on, it is checked whether the timer T value is 3 seconds or more, and when the 2 flag is on, it is checked whether the timer T value is 6 seconds or more. In this case, it is determined whether the value of timer T is 9 seconds or more. If the value of the timer T has not reached the predetermined number of seconds, the specific operation of the pachi-slot machine 10 is disabled until the timer value of the timer T reaches the predetermined number of seconds. Immobilization means, for example: ■ Closing the coin slot to make it impossible to insert the next coin; ■ Prohibiting the operation of the solenoid 64 so that coins for the next game cannot be taken in. etc.

By doing this, a game can only be played using a predetermined number of coins within a certain period of time, and it becomes impossible to waste more coins and thereby increase the number of games unnecessarily.

FIG. 7 is an illustrative diagram showing an example of a display that shows the relationship between the number of coins inserted and time. As shown in Fig. 7, if the coin insertion number display and the time display are arranged on concentric circles to show the change in elapsed time with respect to the number of coins inserted, it is possible to insert coins for the next game. In other words, whether a predetermined number of seconds have passed since the current game started (3 seconds for a 1-card game, 6 seconds for a 2-card game, 9 seconds for a 3-card game). The player can know at a glance how many coins are being inserted into the game, and at a glance, the player can know at a glance how many coins are being inserted into the game.

A game selection button may be provided correspondingly, but the game selection button is not provided and a game is played according to the number of coins displayed on the inserted coin number display 144 that is lit when the start button 24 is pressed. You can do it like this.

In this embodiment, a coin-inhibition valve 148 driven by a solenoid 146 is provided in conjunction with the coin insertion slot 142 . Insert! The stop valve prevents coins from being inserted into the slot 142 by closing it. In addition, in FIG. 8, 159 is a one-point indicator that displays the acquired score.

In FIG. 9, 150 is a coin storage tank, 152 is a full tank detection switch, 154 is a tank for storing prize coins, 156 is a coin shortage detection switch, 158 is a prize coin payout detection switch, and 160 is a payout motor.
These constitute a prize coin dispensing device 162.

The other configurations are the same as the pachislot machine 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the same parts are given the same numbers.
Further explanation will be omitted.

Also in the pachislot 140 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9,
The process shown in FIG. 6D, which has already been described, is being performed. Therefore, the player is prohibited from playing a game using more than a predetermined number of coins within a certain period of time. As a method of prohibiting coin insertion, for example, the insertion prohibition valve 148 may be closed to prohibit coin insertion.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the maximum number of coins that can be inserted for a game within a certain period of time is limited. It is possible to provide a coin-insertion type gaming machine that allows players to enjoy games relatively fairly on any device or any player.
