Game machine

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine or a revolving game machine in which a random number value is acquired during a game and a lottery is performed based on the random number value.

Background art

[0002] In general, a pachinko gaming machine or a revolving game machine is provided with a random number generating means using a pseudo-random number. Such random number generation means is used when a winning is detected at the start winning opening in the case of a pachinko machine or when a start lever is pressed in the case of a revolving game machine when a game is being played. The numerical value is acquired at a predetermined time, time interval or moment (hereinafter referred to as “timing”). Each gaming machine handles the acquired numerical value as a random value. In other words, a lottery process is performed on the main control board of each gaming machine based on the random value. In this lottery process, the main control board determines whether or not the random number power is a power corresponding to a predetermined hit value, and wins a winning role such as a missed Z (or winning Z wrong). decide. For example, in the case of a pachinko gaming machine, if the lottery result is a win, the main control board shifts the gaming machine to a gaming state advantageous to the player. In addition, in the case of a spinning-type game machine, if the lottery result is a winning of a predetermined role, the main control board can easily match the symbols corresponding to that role when the player stops the reel. Reel control

FIG. 8 is a schematic block diagram of random number generating means in a conventional spinning cylinder game machine. The random number generation means 210 is provided on the main control board 200 as shown in FIG. 8, and includes a crystal oscillator 211, a random number counter 212, and a latch circuit 213. The crystal oscillator 211 generates a clock signal having a frequency of 10 MHz, for example. The random number counter 212 repeatedly counts the number of input clock signals within a predetermined range each time the clock signal generated by the crystal oscillator 211 is input. The latch circuit 213 acquires and holds the count value of the random number counter 212 as a random value at the timing when the start lever is operated by the player. Specifically, in the latch circuit 213, the start lever is operated. When a signal is received from the start lever operation detection sensor 220 that detects this, a random value is acquired. The random number value held by the latch circuit 213 is sent to the CPU 230, and the CPU 230 performs a lottery process based on the random number value.

[0004] In general, in the random number counter, as described above, the count value is incremented by one at the timing when the clock signal is input. Recently, however, we have also proposed a random number counter that is configured to increment the count value by 1 at the input timing of the clock signal and to add or subtract a certain integer value to the count value when a predetermined condition is met. (For example, see Patent Document 1.) o

Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11 90004

Disclosure of the invention

Problems to be solved by the invention

Incidentally, the random number counter 212 always counts the number of clock signals repeatedly within a predetermined range at the input timing of the clock signal. Therefore, theoretically, a count value corresponding to the random number value to be won periodically appears in the random number counter 212 as time passes. In particular, in the case of a revolving game machine, the random value is acquired when the player operates the start lever. Therefore, by adjusting the time interval for operating the start lever to the time from when the random number counter 212 counts a certain count value until the same count value is counted, the same random number value is always taken into the CPU 230. It is possible to do so. Usually, a predetermined range of consecutive random values is set as the winning area for each winning combination, so that a player can easily predict a winning combination with a high lottery probability. In other words, a role with a higher lottery probability has a wider range of random values, and is more likely to be applied periodically. Even if there is some difference in touch, it is within the range of the role. This will lose the game's interest.

[0007] In addition, it can be said that the spinning-reel game machine is more easily attacked than the pachinko game machine in that a random value is acquired when the player operates the start lever. In fact, there are people who play games using a sensory device to operate the start lever at regular time intervals and illegally win medals. This sensation machine, for example, generates a signal at a constant rhythm and makes the user feel the signal. Anyone who has received a signal with this sensory sensory strength matches the signal. By operating the start lever, the start lever can always be operated at regular intervals. Therefore, it is desired to realize a gaming machine that can effectively prevent an illegal act of aiming at a specific lottery result using such a sensory device.

[0008] It should be noted that by applying the technique described in Patent Document 1 described above to the spinning-type game machine, it is also considered that an illegal act of aiming at a specific lottery result can be prevented. It is done. However, even if a powerful technique is used, if the time interval for adding or subtracting an integer value to or from the count value is sufficiently longer than the average start lever operation interval, the processing is performed. As long as the counter is not in use, the random number counter performs a counting operation at a fixed input timing of the clock signal.

[0009] The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and it is possible to prevent a lottery result from being predicted and to reliably prevent an illegal act of aiming at a specific lottery result using an sensation sensor or the like.

The invention's effect

[0019] In the gaming machine according to claim 1 and the gaming machine according to claim 2, the changing means is configured to change the order of at least two signals in each of the upper signal sequence and the lower signal sequence for a numerical binary signal sequence. The contents of the numerical value are changed by exchanging and the winning combination determining means is determined based on the numerical value changed by the power changing means. For this reason, since the numerical value before the change acquired by the changing means and the numerical value to be determined by the winning combination determining means (the numerical value after the change by the changing means) can be made different, The selection result cannot be predicted, and the interest of the game can be improved. In particular, in the case of a swivel type gaming machine, the player cannot easily predict the timing of occurrence of the winning numerical value. It is possible to reliably prevent illegal acts of shooting.

By using the wiring for transferring binary signal sequence data, it is possible to easily realize a change means that does not place a burden on the software. In addition, since the value before change obtained by the change means and the value after change by the change means correspond one-to-one, when the change means changes a different value, the same value appears as the changed value. Never do.

[0024] In the gaming machine according to claim 7, the changing means is a wiring for transferring in parallel the data of the binary signal sequence of the numerical values at a time between the numerical information generating means and the winning combination determining means. This makes it easy to implement changing means that do not place a burden on software. wear. In addition, the numerical value before the change obtained by the changing means and the numerical value after the change by the changing means correspond one-to-one, so when the changing means changes a different numerical value, the same numerical value appears as the changed numerical value. There is nothing.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 1, a little on the upper side of the center portion of the spinning cylinder type game machine, the first spinning reel l la, A second cylinder reel l lb and a third cylinder reel 11c are provided. Each spinning reel 11a, 11b, 11c has a symbol row in which a plurality of symbols are arranged in a row, and is configured to be rotatable. The first drum reel 11a is driven by the first drum reel driving means 66a, the second cylinder reel l ib is driven by the second cylinder reel driving means 66b, and the third cylinder reel 11c is the third reel reel 11c. It is driven by the rotating reel drive means 66c. Here, as each reel reel driving means 66a, 66b, 66c, for example, a stepping motor is used. The spinning reel drive means 66a, 66b, 66c are controlled by the main control board 110.

[0030] The symbols arranged on each reel 11a, l ib, 11c include, for example, a red number “7” design, a blue number “7” design, a BAR design, a replay design, a watermelon design, a bell design, There is a Chile design. A total of 21 of these symbols are arranged on the outer periphery of each spinning reel 11a, l ib, 11c. Further, the number of symbols and the arrangement order of symbols differ for each reel 11a, l ib, 11c.

[0031] The display window 12 is a transparent window portion provided at a position corresponding to the reel reels 11a, lib, and 11c. As shown in FIG. 1, the player can stop the first reel reel l la, the second reel reel l lb, and the third reel reel 1 lc! The three symbols attached to 1 la, 1 lb and 11c are visible.

[0032] The medal slot 13 is an slot for a player to insert a medal (game medium).

The inserted medal detection sensor 61 is provided in the medal slot 13 and detects that the medal power slot 13 has been inserted. A detection signal from the inserted medal detection sensor 61 is sent to the main control board 110.

A credit number display section 14 is provided immediately below the display window 12. The credit number display unit 14 displays the number of credits (stored number) of medals within a predetermined range (for example, within 50 cards). When a medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 13, the main control board 110 counts the number of credits increased by the number of inserted medals based on the signal from the inserted medal detection sensor 61. Accumulated and displayed on the credit number display section 14. Further, when a predetermined combination is established in the game, the main control board 110 adds the number of medals to be paid out corresponding to the combination to the current number of credits, and displays the added number on the credit number display unit 14. Let [0034] The MAX bet button 15 and the single insert button 16 are game instruction means for instructing to bet medals and play a game (game), and are provided on the lower left side of the display window 12. The MAX bet button 15 is a button for selecting to play a game with three medals, and the one-insert button 16 is for selecting to play a game with one, two, or three medals. It is a button to do. Specifically, by pressing the single insert button 16 once, it is selected to play a game with one medal, and by pressing the single insert button 16 twice, a game with two medals bet is selected. Is selected, and by pressing the single insert button 16 three times, it is selected to play the game with three medals. That is, pressing the single-load button 16 three times is the same as pressing the MAX bet button 15 once. The MAX bet button operation detection sensor 62 detects that the MAX bet button 15 has been pressed, and the single-load button operation detection sensor 63 detects that the single-load button 16 has been pressed. . Detection signals from the sensors 62 and 63 are sent to the main control board 110. As a result, the main control board 110 can recognize how many medals bet to play the game.

A bet number display portion 17 is provided immediately below the display window 12 on the lower left side. The bet number display unit 17 displays the number of medals bet on the game. Specifically, when the one-piece insertion button 16 is pressed once, the main control board 110 turns on the lamp corresponding to the “¾” portion of the bet number display section 17. When the single board insertion button 16 is pressed twice, the main control board 110 lights the lamp corresponding to the “弍” portion of the bet number display section 17. Then, when the one-sheet insertion button 16 is pressed three times or the MAX bet button 15 is pressed, the main control board 110 turns on a lamp corresponding to the “reference” portion of the bet number display portion 17.

In the present embodiment, six pay lines are set for stopping the three spinning reels 11a, l ib, 11c and aligning predetermined symbols. That is, three lines extending horizontally through the upper, middle, and lower parts of the display window 12, lines extending from the upper left to the lower right of the display window 12, and the lower left force of the display window 12 are also on the upper right. A line extending by force and a line extending from the middle of the left portion of the display window 12 toward the middle of the center portion, and the center force of the center portion extending by force toward the lower right. Depending on how many medals you bet, The award line is different. When a game is played with one medal bet, only one winning line extending in the horizontal direction through the center of the display window 12 is an effective winning line. When playing a game with two medals, only three winning lines extending in the horizontal direction through the upper, middle and lower parts of the display window 12 are valid winning lines. When a game is played with three medals, all six winning lines are valid winning lines. When the three reel reels 11a, l ib, and 11c are stopped, if the predetermined symbols are aligned on the valid winning lines among the six winning lines and a predetermined winning combination is established, the game becomes a winning, A number of medals are paid out.

[0037] The start lever 18 is operated by the player to instruct to start the game. The power to insert the number of medals required for one game (game) from the medal slot 13 or the operation of the MAX bet button 15 with the number of medals required for one game already credited, Alternatively, the start lever 18 can be operated by performing any one of the required operations of the single-load button 16. Here, one game starts when the start lever 18 is operated, and ends when all the three stop buttons 19a, 19b, and 19c are pressed. The start lever operation detection sensor 64 detects that the start lever 18 has been operated. The start lever operation detection sensor 64 sends a game start signal to the main control board 110 when detecting that the start lever 18 is operated. The random number generation means 70 provided on the main control board 110 receives a game start signal (acquisition command) from the start lever operation detection sensor 64, acquires one random number value, and changes the acquired random number value to the change means 80. To CPU113 via The CPU 113 receives a game start signal from the start lever operation detection sensor 64 when receiving a signal from the inserted medal detection sensor 61, the MAX bet button operation detection sensor 62, or the one-sheet insertion button operation detection sensor 63. When it is received, the game start processing is performed after a predetermined time (4.1 seconds) has passed when receiving the previous game start signal. Specifically, the CPU 113 performs a lottery process for the combination based on the random number value generated by the random number generating means 70 and starts rotating the three spinning reels 11a, l ib and 11c.

[0038] The first stop button 19a is for instructing to stop the rotation operation of the first reel reel 11a, and the second stop button 19b is for instructing to stop the rotation operation of the second reel reel ib. The third stop button 19c is for instructing to stop the rotation of the third reel reel. The first stop button operation detection sensor 65a detects that the first stop button 19a is pressed, and the second stop button operation detection sensor 65b detects that the second stop button 19b is pressed. The third stop button operation detection sensor 65c detects that the third stop button 19c has been pressed. Detection signals from the respective stop button operation detection sensors 65a, 65b, 65c are sent to the main control board 110. When the main control board 110 receives the detection signals from the stop button operation detection sensors 65a, 65b, 65c, the main control board 110 stops the rotation operation of the spinning reel corresponding to the stop button operation detection sensor by a predetermined control method. In this way, when the three reel reels 11a, l ib, 11c are stopped, the symbols attached to the reel reels 11a, l ib, 11c become a specific combination on the effective winning line. The role will be established.

[0039] The types of combinations are broadly divided into large combinations (bonuses) that are big hits and small combinations that are small hits. For example, a big bonus (BB), which is a role when a red number `` 7 '' symbol or a blue number `` 7 '' symbol (BB symbol) is aligned on an active winning line, for example, There is also a regular bonus (RB) that is used when the “BAR” symbols (RB symbols) are aligned on an active winning line. When becoming a major player, the spinning-type gaming machine shifts to a gaming state advantageous to the player. For example, when BB is established, 15 medals are paid out and the player enters a BB game where the player can obtain the most medals. If an RB is established, 15 medals are paid out, and after the BB game, the player enters an RB game where a large number of medals can be obtained.

[0040] On the other hand, the small role includes, for example, a role when watermelon symbols are aligned on an effective winning line (Shi power small role) and a role when bell symbols are aligned on an effective winning line (bell Small role) and a role when it stops at the left position on the winning line where the cheri pattern is valid (cherry small role). When a powerful small combination is established, a predetermined number of medals are paid out. In addition, there is a role (replay) when replay symbols are aligned on a valid pay line. If this replay is established, the revolving game machine will be re-played, that is, the same number of medals as the bet placed on the current game will be automatically inserted, and the player will insert a new medal. The game can be played again. In this embodiment, the rib Since Rei does not pay out medals, Replay is not included in the small role, but setting the number of bets for the next game, that is, no new medal insertion operation is required, so the medals used for that game are paid out. It is also possible to treat replay as a small role, assuming Also, if the symbols that make up the winning combination are aligned on an effective winning line, they will be missed.

[0041] The number-of-payout display unit 22 displays the number of medals to be paid out in accordance with the winning combination. The main control board 110 controls the payout number display unit 22. From the medal release port 23, for example, when the player presses the clearing button 21, the number of medals corresponding to the number of credits at that time is released. The medal tray 24 is a tray for accumulating medals released from the medal outlet 23.

The image display unit 30 is provided on the upper side of the display window 12. In the present embodiment, a liquid crystal display device is used as the image display unit 30.

In addition, the rear speaker power 53 is provided on the rear side of the rotary type gaming machine.

The main control board 110 mainly controls and manages game contents and medal payout. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the main control board 110 has a random number generating means 70, a changing means 80, a ROM 111, a RAMI 12, and a CPU (game control means) 113! / The ROM 111 stores various programs relating to game content control and the like. The RAM 112 is a working memory that temporarily stores data. For example, a part of the RAM 112 is used as a random value memory that stores the random value generated by the random number generation means 70. The lottery means 114 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 are stored in the CPU 113 and the ROM 111. This is realized by the received role lottery program.

[0049] The random number generation means 70 is a known pseudo-random number generation means that sequentially generates a numerical value in a predetermined range and acquires the numerical value as a random value at a predetermined timing. That is, the random number generation means 70 acquires a random value when receiving a game start signal (acquisition command) from the start lever operation detection sensor 64. The acquired random value is sent to the CPU 113 via the changing means 80.

In the ROM 111, in addition to various programs, data indicating the correspondence between the random number value and the winning content is stored for each gaming state. Such data is used at the time of random number lottery processing by the lottery means 114. In this embodiment, the entire range of random values (0 to 65535) is divided into a predetermined number of winning areas, and the correspondence between the winning area and the winning content is shown as data indicating the correspondence between the random value and the winning content. Data and data indicating the correspondence between the winning area and the range of random values are used. Here, the number of winning areas and the range of random values corresponding to each winning area are generally different for each gaming state. In addition, in the case of the swivel type gaming machine of the present embodiment, for example, as the gaming state of the gaming machine, “the general gaming state when the BB is not activated”, “the BB internal state”, “the RB internal state”, “BB operation” Various game states such as “general game state at time” are set.

[0051] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of data indicating the correspondence relationship between the winning area and the winning content for each gaming state. In Fig. 4, the contents of the data for the general gaming state when the BB is not activated, the RB internal state, and the BB internal state are representatively illustrated, and the content of the data for other gaming states is representatively illustrated. Is omitted. For the general gaming state when the BB is not activated, the RB internal medium state, and the BB internal medium state, the range of random numbers is divided into seven winning areas from “0” to “6”. For each gaming state, the following winning contents are assigned to each winning area. In other words, if the gaming state is the general gaming state when the BB is not activated, “unauthorized” is selected for the winning area “0” and “cherry small role” is selected for the winning area “1”. , “Bell Small” for winning area “2”, “Watermelon Small” for winning area “3”, “Replay” for winning area “4” “RB” is assigned to area “5”, and “BB” is assigned to winning area “6”. If the gaming state is the RB internal medium state, “R” is selected for the winning area “0”. B ”,“ Cherry Small ”and“ RB ”for the winning area“ 1 ”,“ Bell Small ”and“ RB ”for the winning area“ 2 ”, and“ 3 ” "Watermelon small part" and "RB" for the winning area "4", "Replay" and "RB" for the winning area "5", "RB" for the winning area "5""BB" and "RB" are assigned respectively. Game State Power ¾ΒIn the case of the internal medium state, “ΒΒ” is selected for the winning area “0”, “Cherry Small” and “ΒΒ” are selected for the winning area “1”, and the winning area “ “Bell Small” and “ΒΒ” for “2”, “Watermelon Small” and “ΒΒ” for winning area “3”, “Replay” for winning area “4” And “ΒΒ”, “RB” and “ΒΒ” are assigned to the winning area “5”, and “ΒΒ” is assigned to the winning area “6”.

[0052] Further, data indicating the correspondence between the winning area and the range of random values is set for each gaming state. For example, in the data indicating the correspondence between the winning area and the range of random values for the general gaming state when ΒΒ is not activated, the range of random values from 0 to 47698 (47 699 ways) is selected in the winning areas “0”, 47699 Tongue L value range up to 48535 (837 ways) in the selected area “1”, 48536 force etc. Tongue L value range up to 55345 (6810 ways) in the elected area “2”, 55346 force up to 56005 Tongue L value range (660 ways) in the winning area "3", 56006 force et al. 6 4985 tongue L value range (8980 street) in the winning area "4", 64986 forces et al. 65205 tongue L value range (220 streets) is the winning area “5”, and the range of the tongue L value from 65206 force to 65535 (330 streets) is the winning area “6”. Similarly, in the data indicating the correspondence relationship between the winning area and the random value range for other gaming states, the range of the random number value corresponding to each winning area is set to a predetermined range. Here, a detailed explanation of the contents of these data is omitted.

[0053] By the way, the "general game state when the bag is not activated" is a normal game state. The `` ΓΒΒ internal state '' means that the player has won ΒΒ by random lottery, but the player has not yet aligned the ΒΒ symbol on the valid winning line. Although the RB is won by lottery, the player's power ¾B symbol is not yet on the valid winning line. In these BB internal state and RB internal state, the player's own stop button 19a, 19b, 19c will be pressed until the BB symbol and RB symbol are aligned on the effective winning line. The internal winning status will be in the next game Overcoming. On the other hand, the roles other than BB and RB are valid only in the game at the time of winning, and by pressing the stop buttons 19a, 19b, 19c in the game at the time of winning, the symbol of the corresponding role is displayed. If is not aligned on a valid pay line, the winning state for that role ends at that point. After the BB symbols have been prepared, the gaming state shifts to the “general gaming state during BB operation” and the BB game is started.On the other hand, after the RB symbols have been prepared, the gaming state becomes “RB in operation”. The RB game is started after moving to "Status". For each of the general gaming state during BB operation and the RB operation state, data indicating the correspondence between a predetermined random number value and winning contents is set.

The lottery means 114 performs a lottery process for determining whether the random value stored in the random value memory of the RAMI 12 is a deviation between a predetermined hit value or an outlier. Specifically, the lottery means 114 determines the random number value S of the random number generation means 70 received via the changing means 80 based on the data indicating the correspondence between the random number values stored in the ROM 111 and the combination. By determining whether it belongs to the winning area, it is determined whether the winning power (winning) or the winning power (dismissal) of any role is determined. Then, based on the lottery result of the lottery means 114, the CPU 113 controls the game content or sends a predetermined command to the effect control board 120.

The CPU 113 controls the game content and the like by executing a program stored in the ROM 111. For example, the CPU 113 performs reel control for driving and stopping the spinning reels 11a, l ib and 11c. In addition to reel drive start control and reel drive stop control, this CPU113 reel control is performed, for example, reel pull-in control that is performed when a winning combination is won, or when a role is not won. There is detachment control.

[0056] Reel pull-in control means that when a stop button is pressed, a predetermined number of symbols (for example, 5 frames) including the symbols on the winning line that is valid at the timing when the stop button is pressed. Control of the stop position of the spinning reel so as to draw the symbol on the effective winning line when the symbol constituting the combination exists in the range. However, when the player presses the stop button and there is no symbol that constitutes the corresponding role within the range of the predetermined number of frames, the reel pull-in control does not work, and the pressed symbol is effective. Stop on the winning line. Therefore, at this time, the figure constituting the combination The pattern is not aligned on the effective winning line, and the winning combination is not established.

[0057] Disengagement control refers to controlling the stop position of the reel so that no combination is established in an effective winning line. Therefore, in this case, even if the player presses the stop button aiming at a specific role, no role is formed and the game result is lost.

[0058] The CPU 113 also manages the gaming state. In the swivel-type gaming machine of the present embodiment, as described above, the gaming state of the gaming machine is “general gaming state when BB is not activated”, “BB internal state”, “RB internal state”, “BB Various game states such as “general game state during operation” are set. The CPU 113 controls the transition of the gaming state based on the result of the random lot value internal lottery.

Further, CPU 113 performs processing for transmitting a command to effect control device 120. There are many types of commands sent from the CPU 11 3 to the effect control device 120. For example, there are commands related to game effects (effect commands) created based on the results of the lottery process, and commands (operation commands) created when a predetermined operation is performed by the player.

[0060] It should be noted that various standards are defined for the spinning cylinder type gaming machine. One of the standards is that if the start lever 18 is not operated for 4.1 seconds, the reel reels 11a, 11b, 11c will not rotate even if the start lever 18 is operated next time. . For this reason, the CPU 113 performs drive start control of the spinning reels 11a, l ib and 11c so as to conform to the standard. However, even if the start lever 18 is operated within 4.1 seconds after the start lever 18 is operated, the CPU 113 detects that the inserted medal detection sensor 61, the MAX bet button operation detection sensor 62, If a signal has already been received from one of the sheet insertion button operation detection sensors 63! /, A lottery process based on a random number value is performed.

[0061] The effect control board 120 is connected to the main control board 110 via a communication cable line. The effect control board 120 incorporates ROM, RAM, CPU, and the like. Such production control board 120 mainly realizes functions related to game production. That is, the effect control board 120 controls the image display unit 30, the illumination display unit 40, and the speaker unit 50. The effect control board 120 receives a command from the main control board 110 and executes a predetermined process. [0062] Specifically, when the production control board 120 receives the production command from the main control board 110, the content of the production of the game is determined based on the production command, and the image display unit 30, the electrical display is displayed. Image production pattern data, illumination design pattern data, and audio data are sent to the unit 40 and the speaker unit 50, respectively. Thereby, the image display unit 30 displays an image based on the image effect pattern data, and the illumination display unit 40 lights the lamp and the LED based on the illumination effect pattern data. In addition, the speaker unit 50 outputs a predetermined sound to produce a game.

[0063] Next, the configuration of the random number generating means 70 and the changing means 80 in the swivel type gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described in detail.

As shown in FIG. 3, the random number generating means 70 includes a crystal oscillator 71 and two random number counters 72a and 72b. The crystal oscillator 71 generates a clock signal having a frequency of 10 MHz, for example. The two random number counters 72a and 72b are numerical information generating means for repeatedly generating numerical information in order within a predetermined range. As each random number counter 72a, 72b, an 8-bit counter IC is used, and these two random number counters 72a, 72b are functionally linked. That is, the clock signal generated by the crystal oscillator 71 is input to one random number counter 72b. The random number counter 72b repeatedly counts the number of clocks within the range of 0 to 255 every time the clock signal is input. When the numerical information counted by the random number counter 72b reaches the maximum value (255), the next time the clock signal is input to the random number counter 72b, the random number counter 72b returns the numerical information to 0 and The clock signal is sent to the random number counter 72a. The random number counter 72a repeatedly counts the number of clock signals within the range from 0 to 255 every time the clock signal from the random number counter 72b is input. The two random number counters 72a and 72b operate in cooperation as described above, and thus operate as a single 2-byte hardware random number counter as a whole. That is, the two random number counters 72a and 72b can repeatedly generate numerical information in order within the range from 0 to 65535. Here, the random number counter 72a counts the upper bit string (8 bits) of the bit string (16 bits) of the numerical information, and the random number counter 72b counts the lower bit string (8 bits) of the bit string of the numerical information. .

[0065] The two random number counters 72a and 72b are two-byte hardware random number counters. In addition to the role, it plays a role as a latch circuit (numerical information acquisition means). Ie

The two random number counters 72a and 72b acquire numerical information currently counted at a predetermined timing, and store the acquired numerical information as a bit string of random values that are uniquely determined. The game start signal (acquisition command) from the start lever operation detection sensor 64 is input to the two random number counters 72a and 72b. When the random number power counters 72a and 72b receive a game start signal (acquisition command) from the start lever operation detection sensor 64, the random number power counters 72a and 72b acquire numerical information currently counted. The CPU 113 receives the random number values held by the two random number counters 72 a and 72 b via the changing unit 80 and temporarily stores them in the RAM 112.

The changing means 80 replaces at least two signals of each bit string of the random number counters 72a and 72b with respect to the bit string (16 bits) of the random number values held by the two random number counters 72a and 72b. Is to change. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining a specific example of the changing means 80. In this embodiment, as the changing means 80, as shown in FIG. 5, the random number value connected between the output terminals of the two random number counters 72a and 72b and the random number reception port 115 (input terminal) of the CPU 113 is changed. Wiring is used to transfer data in parallel at once. In FIG. 5, the connection between the output terminals of the two random number counters 72a and 72b and the input terminal of the CPU 113 is based on the upper bit string (8 bits from a0 to a7) of the random number value held by the random number counter 72a and the random number counter 72b. This is done by reversing the order of the signal sequences of the lower-order bit strings (eight bits from b0 to b7) of the random number value to be held, and further switching the upper-order bit strings and lower-order bit strings. In other words, the most significant bit (a7) of the upper bit string of the random number value (acquired random value) held by the random number counter 72a becomes the least significant bit (qO) of the lower bit string received by the CPU 113 (received random value). Connect so that the 6th bit (a6) of the high-order bit string of the acquired random value is the 1st bit (ql) of the low-order bit string of the received random value, and the 5 bits of the high-order bit string of the acquired random value Connect so that the first bit (a5) is the second bit (q2) of the lower bit string of the received random value, and the least significant bit (aO) of the upper bit string of the acquired random value is the highest bit of the lower bit string of the received random value. Connect to the upper bit (q7). In addition, the most significant bit (b7) of the lower bit string of the random number value (acquired random value) held by the random number counter 72b is the least significant bit (q8) of the upper bit string of the random value (received random value) received by the CPU 113. To be Connect and connect so that the 6th bit (b6) of the lower bit string of the acquired random value is the first bit (q9) of the upper bit string of the received random value, and the 5th bit of the lower bit string of the acquired random value (B5) is connected so that it is the second bit (qlO) of the upper bit string of the received random number value .... The least significant bit (b0) of the lower bit string of the acquired random value is the upper bit string of the received random value. Connect to the most significant bit (ql5). Therefore, in the present embodiment, by using such changing means 80, the order of bits is reversed in each of the upper bit string and the lower bit string among the bit strings of the random number values held by the two random number counters 72a and 72b. In addition to rearranging, the bit sequence of the random number values held by the two random number counters 72a and 72b can be switched between the upper bit sequence and the lower bit sequence, so the random number value before the change and the random number value after the change are significantly different Can be. Note that the upper bit string (aO, al,..., A7) of the present embodiment is added to the upper digit binary signal string (s, s, s,---s, s) on the transmission side of the present invention.

11 12 13 lm-1 lm Corresponding, the low-order bit string (bl, b2,..., B7) is the low-order binary signal string (s 1, s 1, s 1,---s , s) and the reception of this embodiment.

The high-order bit sequence (q8, q9, '^ 15) of the received random number value corresponds to the high-order binary signal sequence (r, r, r,-· τ, r) on the receiving side of the present invention. Lower bit string (qO, q

1, · '^ 7) is added to the low-order binary signal sequence (r, r, r,-· τ, r) on the receiving side of the present invention.

21 22 23 2m-l 2m Corresponding. In the present embodiment, the 8-bit counter is used for the two random number counters 72a and 72b, and the CPU 113 of the main control board 110 uses a power that can process 16-bit data at a time. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the random number counter may be one 16-bit counter instead of two 8-bit counters, and the CPU 113 of the main control board 110 may be a 32-bit CPU.

[0067] Next, how the content of the random number value is changed by the changing means 80 will be specifically described. FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining how the content of the random number value is changed by the changing means 80.

In the example of FIG. 6, to simplify the explanation, consider a case where the random number generation means 70 generates 8-bit numerical information, and acquires and holds the numerical information as a random value at a predetermined timing. . Therefore, an 8-bit random value is sent from the random number generation means 70 to the CPU 113 via the changing means 80 at a predetermined timing. In this case, the changing means 80 is a random number generator. A bit string (8 bits) of the random value held by the raw means 70 is used so that the bit order is reversed and transmitted to the CPU 113. Now, as shown in FIG. 6, on the random number generation means 70 side, the terminal that outputs the information of the least significant bit in the bit string (8 bits) of the random value is AO, and the information of the bit that is one higher bit is output. The terminal that outputs Al is Al, ···, and the terminal that outputs the most significant bit information is A7. On the other hand, on the CPU 113 side, the terminal for inputting the information of the least significant bit in the bit string (8 bits) of the random number value is Q0, the terminal for inputting the information of the bit higher than that is Ql, Q7 is the pin for inputting the most significant bit information. At this time, the wiring as the changing means 80 is between the terminal AO and the terminal Q7, between the terminal A1 and the terminal Q6, between the terminal A2 and the terminal Q5, between the terminal A3 and the terminal Q4, and between the terminal A and Connected between 4 and terminal Q3, between terminal A5 and terminal Q2, between terminal A6 and terminal Q1, and between terminal A7 and terminal Q0! RU

For example, it is assumed that the random number generation means 70 on the transmission side transmits “0” as a random value. In this case, since the data “0” is expressed as a binary number, it is “00000000”. Therefore, the CPU 113 on the receiving side receives the binary number “00000000” and the random value “0” is sent. Recognize that. Further, it is assumed that the random number generation means 70 transmits data “1” as a random value. In this case, since the data “1” is expressed as a binary number, it is Ό0000001, so the CPU 113 receives a noisy value “10000000” and recognizes that the numerical value “128” has been sent. To do. Further, it is assumed that the random number generation means 70 transmits data “2” as a random value. In this case, since the data “2” is expressed as a binary number “00000010”, the CPU 113 receives a blueprint of “01000000,”! Recognize that it has been sent.

Similarly, when the random number generation means 70 transmits the random value “3”, the CPU 113 recognizes that the random value “192” has been transmitted. When the random number generation means 70 transmits “4” as the random number value, the CPU 113 recognizes that the random number value “32” has been sent. When the random number generation means 70 transmits data “5” as a random value, the CPU 113 recognizes that the random value “160” has been sent. When the random number generation means 70 transmits the random value “6”, the CPU 113 recognizes that the random value “96” has been sent. When the random number generation means 70 transmits the random value “7”, the CPU 113 recognizes that the random value “224” has been transmitted. On the other hand, random number generation means 7 When 0 transmits the random value “248”, the CPU 113 recognizes that the random value “31” has been sent. When the random number generation means 70 transmits the random value “249”, the CPU 113 recognizes that the random value “159” has been transmitted. When the random number generation means 70 transmits the random number value “250”, the CPU 113 recognizes that the random number value “95” has been transmitted. When the random number generation means 70 transmits the random value “251”, the CPU 113 recognizes that the random value “223” has been transmitted. When the random number generation means 70 transmits the random value “252”, the CPU 113 recognizes that the random value “63” has been transmitted. When the random number generation means 70 transmits the random value “253”, the CPU 113 recognizes that the random value “191” has been sent. When the random number generation means 70 transmits the random value “254”, the CPU 113 recognizes that the random value “127” has been transmitted. Then, when the random number generation means 70 transmits data of the random value “255”, the CPU 113 recognizes that the random value “255” has been transmitted.

[0071] Therefore, the random number generation means 70 continues the random number values as “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”,..., “253”, “254”, “255”. Even if they are sent to the CPU 113 in order, the random values recognized by the CPU 113 are distributed as “0”, “128”, “64”,..., “191”, “127”, “255”. As described above, in the present embodiment, by providing the changing unit 80, the contents of the random number value before the change transmitted by the random number generating unit 70 and the random number value after the change received by the CPU 113 are greatly different. It can be tightened. However, the CPU 113 recognizes the same random number value as the random number value transmitted by the random number generation means 70 only when the random number generation means 70 transmits the random number values “0” and “255”.

[0072] In the present embodiment, the replacement of the signal lines is a force performed by at least two. If the numerical values output by the signal lines to be replaced are the same, the signal lines may be replaced. Since the input side and the output side have the same value, the CPU 113 recognizes the same random value as the random value transmitted by the random number generation means 70. For example, if the number of signal lines is two, the number of each signal line that is replaced is “0, 0” or “1, 1”, and if the number of signal lines is three If it is performed, if the numerical value output by each replaced signal line is “0, 0, 0” or “1, 1, 1”, the CPU 113 is the same as the random value transmitted by the random number generating means 70. A random value will be recognized.

In the present embodiment, the output of the two random number counters 72a and 72b is used as the changing unit 80. Since the wiring for transmitting the random number value connected between the terminal and the input terminal of the CPU 113 is used, the random number value before the change sent by the random number generation means 70 and the random number value after the change by the change means 80 Corresponds one-to-one. For this reason, when the changing means 80 changes a plurality of different random numbers, the same random number value does not appear as the changed random value. In the example of FIG. 6, the case where the random number value is 8-bit information has been described, but the same can be said even if the random value is 16-bit information.

[0074] Next, a procedure of processing performed by the main control board 110 when the player power start lever 18 is operated in the swivel type gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described.

When the player operates the start lever 18, the start lever operation detection sensor 64 sends a game start signal to the random number counters 72 a and 72 b of the random number generation means 70 and the CPU 113. When receiving the game start signal, the random number counters 72a and 72b acquire and hold the numerical information currently counted as random number values. On the other hand, the CPU 113 acquires the stored random number value via the changing means 80 and temporarily stores it in the RAMI 12. When the CPU 113 receives the game start signal, the CPU 113 causes the lottery means 114 to execute the lottery process. The lottery means 114 examines to which winning area the random value stored in the RAMI 12 belongs based on the data indicating the correspondence between the random number value stored in RO MILL and the winning content. This determines the role that was won and the power that was not won. The lottery result determined by the lottery means 114 is sent to the CPU 113, and the CPU 113 controls the game contents based on the lottery result!

[0076] In the rotating game machine of the present embodiment, the changing means changes the content of the random value by changing the order of the predetermined bits in the bit string of the random value in a predetermined format, and the lottery means A lottery process is performed to determine whether the random number value changed by the changing means is a predetermined winning value or outlier. For this reason, since the random number value sent by the random number generation means and the random number value subject to the lottery process by the lottery means (the random number value after the change by the changing means) can be made different, The result cannot be predicted, and the game interest can be improved. However, since the player can not easily predict the appearance timing of the random number value to be won, it is possible to reliably prevent an illegal act of aiming at a specific lottery result using an sensation sensor or the like. . [0077] Further, the changing means is a wiring for transmitting the random value, connected between the predetermined terminals so that the order of the predetermined bits in the bit string of the random number values is switched in a predetermined manner. Therefore, it is possible to easily realize a changing means that does not place a burden on the software. In addition, since the random number value sent by the random number generator and the random number value changed by the changing means have a one-to-one correspondence, when the changing means changes a different random value, the same random number value is used as the changed random number value. Never appears. Thereby, the uniformity of random numbers is maintained.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist thereof.

[0079] In the above embodiment, as the changing means, the order of bits is rearranged in the reverse order in each of the upper bit string and the lower bit string among the bit strings of the random number values held by the two random number counters, and the random value The case where the upper bit string and the lower bit string are replaced with each other is described. However, the changing means is not limited to this. For example, it is also possible to use a means that only changes the order of at least two bits in each of the upper bit string and the lower bit string of the random value held by the two random number counters. . For example, the output terminals of the two random number counters 72a and 72b and the input terminal of the CPU 113 may be connected as shown in FIG. FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a modification of the specific example of the changing means. In FIG. 7, components having the same functions as those shown in FIG. 5 are given the same reference numerals or corresponding reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted. In Fig. 7, the connection between the output terminals of the two random number counters 72a and 72b and the input terminal of the CPU 113 is the upper bit string (8 bits a0 to a7) of the random number value held by the random number counter 72a and the random number counter 72b. This is done so that the order of each signal array in the low-order bit string (8 bits from b0 to b7) of the random value to be held is reversed. That is, the most significant bit (a7) of the upper bit string of the random number value (acquired random value) held by the random number counter 72a becomes the least significant bit (q8) of the upper bit string of the random value (received random value) received by the CPU 113. Is connected so that the 6th bit (a6) of the high-order bit string of the acquired random number value becomes the 1st bit (q9) of the high-order bit string of the received random value, and the 5th bit of the high-order bit string of the acquired random number value. (A5) is connected so that it is the second bit (qlO) of the high-order bit string of the received random number value ...., the least significant bit (a0) of the high-order bit string of the acquired random value is the high-order bit string of the received random value. Most significant bit (q Connect so that 15). In addition, the most significant bit (b7) of the lower bit string of the random number value (acquired random value) held by the random number counter 72b becomes the least significant bit (q0) of the lower bit string received by the CPU 113 (received random value). Connect so that the 6th bit (b6) of the low-order bit string of the acquired random value is the first bit (ql) of the low-order bit string of the received random value, and 5 bits of the low-order bit string of the acquired random value Connect the first bit (b5) to the second bit (q2) of the lower bit string of the received random value, and…, the least significant bit (b0) of the lower bit string of the acquired random value is the lowest bit of the lower bit string of the received random value. Connect to the upper bit (q7). By using the changing means 800 shown in FIG. 7, it is possible to rearrange the order of bits in the upper bit string and the lower bit string among the bit strings of the random number values held by the two random number counters 72a and 72b. Because it is possible, it is possible to make a mistake so that the random value before the change and the random value after the change are greatly different.

[0080] Further, in the above embodiment, the changing means transmits the random value connected between the predetermined terminals so that the order of the predetermined bits in the bit string of the random value is switched in a predetermined manner. As the force changing means described in the case of the wiring, it is also possible to use software-implemented means. In other words, the random number value held by the random number generation means is sent to the CPU 113 of the main control board as it is without changing its contents, and the CPU 113 is used as a changing means by executing a predetermined program stored in the ROM 111. The contents of the random number value sent from the random number generation means may be changed. In consideration of the work load of the CPU 113 of the main control board, it is preferable that the changing means be realized in hardware as in the above embodiment rather than in software.

[0081] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a rotating type gaming machine has been described. However, for example, the present invention may be applied to a pachinko gaming machine.

Industrial applicability

[0082] As described above, according to the gaming machine of the present invention, the changing means has at least two values for the numerical binary signal sequence and for each of the upper signal sequence and the lower signal sequence. The content of the numerical value is changed by changing the order of the signals, and the winning combination determining means determines the corresponding winning combination based on the numerical value changed by the changing means. For this reason, change means The player can predict the lottery result because the value before the change acquired by the player and the value to be determined by the winning combination determination means (the value after the change by the change means) can be made different. It becomes impossible to improve the interest of the game. In particular, in the case of a revolving type gaming machine, the player cannot easily predict the timing of the appearance of the winning numerical value, so use a sensory device or the like to aim at a specific lottery result. It is possible to reliably prevent illegal acts. Therefore, the present invention can be applied to a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine or a revolving gaming machine in which a random value is acquired at a predetermined timing during a game and a lottery is performed based on the random value.
