Abstract

When two or more kinds of internal winning simultaneously occur, adequate slip control is conducted according to the priority order of the internal winning combination without furthering an increase of the memory capacity of a bit data storage area and so forth. Therefore, an internal winning combination having a high priority can be awarded, the fun of the game is improved and reduced. When internal winnings occur, the consumption of the memory capacity can be decreased by using signal bit data , and a specific internal winning combination is awarded by priority. That is, in the example of the invention, when a “red 7” and a “bell” are both in a slip control range at a specific stop operation timing, the “red 7” can be awarded by slipping the “bell” to be first awarded. Therefore, the amount of payout is increased, imparting an advantage to the player.

Description

Game machine

Technical field

The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a slot machine that uses medals, coins, game balls and the like as game media.

Background art

Conventionally, in gaming machines, particularly pachislot machines, a lottery is executed by inserting a predetermined number of medals and operating a start lever, and multiple rows (normally 3 The symbol variation reel (symbol row display means) in the row is rotated.

[0003] The symbol-variable reels that have started rotating by the start lever can be basically stopped at the time that the player intends by operating the corresponding stop buttons. .

[0004] Here, when the start lever is operated, an internal lottery is executed and the Z-off is determined, and the player performs the stop operation of each symbol variable reel by the stop button, and the internal lottery is won. In such cases, the rights will be exercised when the symbols corresponding to the winning are available.

[0005] There are a small role and a big role in winning, and for the exercise of the right of winning a small role, a payout of a preset game medium is executed. In addition, the small role includes replay (replay), and at the time of replay, it is assumed that the same payout as the game medium thrown in for the game is made, and a new game medium is thrown in. You have the right to replay without doing anything.

[0006] On the other hand, the exercise of the right to win a major role is a so-called bonus game (there is a regular bonus and a big bonus) from the above-mentioned normal gaming state after a predetermined game medium payout is executed for that role. It shifts to a special game state called a predetermined number of times.

[0007] It should be noted that, when the player performs a stop operation using the stop button, slip control for a predetermined number of frames is executed according to the result of the internal lottery.

[0008] That is, when the stop button is operated at the stop timing of the symbol that stops only in the case of winning when the internal lottery is out, In order to avoid stopping at the handle, the stop position is shifted (kicked), and control is performed to stop at the disengaged symbol array.

[0009] Here, when the internal lottery is won, even if the winning symbol does not stop at the stop operation timing operated by the player, even if the winning symbol is within the predetermined number of symbols (currently a maximum of 4 frames slips), Intentionally, the stop position is shifted (retracted) so that all the winning symbols stop together.

[0010] By kicking and pulling in, it is possible to have consistency with the result of the lottery, and even if the stop operation timing is slightly shifted, it is possible to align the winning symbols. Protect the device from spillage as much as possible.

[0011] This slip control has a different number of sliding frames depending on the result of the internal lottery as described above.

A table corresponding to each situation is stored in advance.

[0012] As a table, a bit table in which the number of sliding frames is expressed in bits (binary system) has been proposed (see Patent Document 1). This bit table expresses 1-frame slip by “0” and stops frame by “1”.

".

[0013] Here, for example, when the bell and the watermelon (relatively, the bell has a higher dividend) at the same time, the upper stage of the reel (generally the left reel) that is stopped for the first time when winning internally Bit table of the reel (generally, the middle reel) that is stopped for the second time when stopping at the bell, plum, and watermelon designs, respectively, for each internal winning combination The bits are assigned so that the pull-in is executed. For this reason, when the operation button is operated, the nearest bit is given priority and stop control is executed.

[0014] That is, in the above bit table, even if an attempt is made to pull in a bell with a large payout, when the watermelon is first, the watermelon is given priority and the slip control is executed, so that a simple and single bit table is used. So, we couldn't decide the priority for the simultaneous internal election.

[0015] In order to solve this, it is necessary to prepare a bit table dedicated to simultaneous internal winning.

[0016] It should be noted that, as described in Patent Document 2, the technique of simultaneous internal winning of a plurality of roles is a phenomenon that can occur in one game (one cycle game). In general, if a small role and a bonus role are elected internally at the same time, if the small role does not win, the internal winning However, the bonus role is controlled to carry over the right of internal winning until the next and subsequent games.

Disclosure of the invention

Problems to be solved by the invention

[0017] However, if a bit table that can win a prize is prepared for each of the winning combinations at the same time, the memory capacity increases accordingly, and the limited memory capacity can be effectively used. Can not.

[0018] In addition, if the winning combination at the same time is a bonus combination (major) and a small combination, if the emphasis is on the amount of memory and the prize is biased to any of them, the right of the internal winning will be lost and the bonus combination will be Gameability such as carrying over may not be realized, and the game preference is reduced.

[0019] In consideration of the above facts, the present invention is based on the priority of each internal winning combination that does not promote an increase in the amount of memory such as a bit data storage area when two or more types of internal winnings occur simultaneously. In addition, by executing appropriate slip control, a gaming machine that can win and suppress a high-priority internal winning combination and improve the game preference can be obtained. Is the purpose.

Means for solving the problem

[0020] The invention according to claim 1 is provided with a plurality of reels for starting rotation driving based on a start operation, and a plurality of reels arranged at a predetermined pitch on a peripheral surface of the reel. The display unit is capable of displaying the symbol of the game, and the display unit includes a display device in which at least a plurality of winning lines are set. The gaming machine has a pre-set role based on the start operation timing. If the lottery means for executing the lottery and the symbol corresponding to the internal winning combination by the lottery means can be aligned to any of the winning lines by the stop operation, the winning combination is matched to the winning line. Based on the game execution control means for executing the payout of the game media, and the stop operation timing for each reel, the predetermined number of sliding frames in stages with the symbol pitch set in advance for each reel as a unit frame Range In, based on the role lottery result by at least the selecting means, the result of the winning lottery on the pay line distribution As is known, it has stop control means for stopping the rotational drive of the reel, and the stop control means is based on the lottery result of the combination for the reel that has been stopped for the first time! The sliding frame number table storage means that determines the number of sliding frames for each stop operation timing of the reel and the reels that have been stopped for the second time or later are the lottery result of the corresponding role. In addition, a stop code that is set based on the symbol arrangement state on the display unit in the reel that has already stopped and is a stop code that is stopped in the state during the stop operation, and an identification code that executes slipping for one frame Bit data table storage means for storing any one of binary bit data composed of slip codes corresponding to symbols, and executed before the second and subsequent stop operations, and as a result of the winning lottery, common The stop code is superior to the slip code based on the relative quantity comparison based on the symbol arrangement state on the display section of the reel that has already stopped and the symbols corresponding to the roles in advance. Numeric value adding means for adding numerical values to the stop code and slip code of bit data given to each symbol, and when adding numerical values by the numerical value adding means, a plurality of roles are simultaneously In the case of winning, an additional selection means for selecting in order from a symbol corresponding to the role having the highest priority set for each role in advance, and a symbol in which the numerical value added by the numerical value adding means is positioned most preferentially. As a target, there is provided stop control execution means for executing the stop control.

[0021] According to the invention of claim 1, a plurality of rows, for example, three rows of reels start rotating by a starting operation. In addition, at the time of this starting operation, a lottery by lottery means is executed, and winning of a combination (internal winning) and winning are determined.

[0022] In the game execution control means, when the symbol corresponding to the winning combination can be aligned with any of the winning lines by the stop operation, the game medium corresponding to the symbol aligned with the winning line is displayed. Perform a payout.

[0023] Here, in the stop control means, as a basic operation, based on the stop operation timing for each reel! /, Stepwise using the symbol pitch set in advance for each reel as a unit frame. Within a predetermined number of sliding symbols, the rotation of the reels is stopped so as to notify the result of the winning lottery on the winning line based on at least the result of the winning lottery by the lottery means. [0024] That is, even if it deviates from the optimal stop operation timing, it is possible to achieve the same state as the optimal stop operation timing by slip control, so that it is easy to win a winning combination and the stop operation is not good. It is possible to correct the disparity between beginners and skilled people who are good at stopping.

By the way, in the slip control by the stop control means, for example, with a single bit data (a stop code and a slip code set corresponding to each symbol), the variation of the symbols to be stopped is monotonous or a prize is received. Line deviation occurs.

[0026] Therefore, in the stop control means, the relative quantity is determined based on the result of the lottery drawing, the symbol arrangement state on the display portion of the reels that have already stopped, and the symbols corresponding to the combinations in advance. Under the comparison, a numerical value in which the stop code is superior to the slip code is added to the stop code and the slip code of the bit data given to each design, and the numerical value is positioned most dominantly. The stop control is executed with the goal of.

[0027] For example, the control is performed by adding points, and setting the total score obtained by adding the points corresponding to the highest point as a stop target.

[0028] That is, in the bit data storage means, for reels that have been stopped for the second time or later, based on the lottery result of the combination and the symbol arrangement state on the display section of the reels that have already stopped! Either of the binary bit data composed of a stop code that is an identification code that is set and stopped in the state at the time of the stop operation and a slip code that is an identification code that executes slipping for one frame is used as a design. Store it in correspondence.

[0029] The numerical value adding means is executed prior to the second and subsequent stop operations, and corresponds to the result of the winning lottery, the symbol arrangement state on the display unit in the already stopped reel, and the winning combination in advance. Based on each symbol, under the relative quantity comparison, a numerical value where the stop code is superior to the slip symbol is added to the stop code and slip symbol of the bit data assigned to each symbol. To do.

[0030] Here, when a numerical value is added by the numerical value adding means, if a plurality of winning combinations are simultaneously won internally by the winning lottery, the additional selecting means has a high priority set in advance for each winning combination. Select in order of symbolic power corresponding to. In other words, any one of the internal winning combinations at the same time will be selected based on the priority of the selection. [0031] The stop control execution means executes the stop control with the target of the symbol in which the numerical value added by the numerical value adding means is positioned most preferentially.

[0032] Thereby, even with single bit data, among the winning combinations at the same time, the winning combination having the highest priority can be won.

[0033] In the invention according to claim 1, the priority is set according to the number of payouts of game media at the time of winning, and the higher the number of payouts, the higher the priority. You may make it high.

[0034] If there are multiple simultaneous internal winnings for a player, naturally, the number of payouts will eventually be large! Expecting one's winning (in fact, what is the internal winning is power It ’s harder to see).

[0035] Generally, when multiple simultaneous internal winnings occur, both the symbols with a relatively large number of payouts and the symbols with a small number of payouts can be won (aligned). Since there are many times less than the range of stop timings that can be won (aligned) only, it is often the case that both can win, by giving priority to the symbol with the larger number of payouts as the target of stop control, It is easy to arrange the symbols of the internal winnings.

It should be noted that “payout” as used herein refers to the number of payouts corresponding to the small role when, for example, in a pachislot machine, “small role” is won (winning). On the other hand, when a “main officer” wins (wins), it refers to all payouts obtained by exercising the rights of the main officer rather than paying out at the time of winning the main director (winning). Therefore, if the major and minor are elected at the same time, the priority of the major is increased.

The invention's effect

[0037] As described above, according to the present invention, when two or more types of internal winnings occur at the same time, based on the priority of each internal winning combination that does not promote an increase in the amount of memory in the bit data storage area or the like. By executing appropriate slip control, an internal winning combination with high priority can be won and suppressed, and the game can be improved.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION [0038] (Schematic configuration of pachislot machine)

A pachi-slot machine 300 as shown in FIG. 1 includes a main body 302 and an operation / decoration portion 303 as an opening / closing cover provided in front of the main body 302.

[0039] The operation / decoration unit 303 can be classified into a decoration unit 304, an operation unit 306, and a payout unit 310 from the top.

[0040] The decoration unit 304 has a display panel unit 312 on which a printed picture or character is transmitted and illuminated by turning on a backlight unit (not shown). As a part of the decorative portion 304, a three-dimensional decorative lamp 304A is also provided in the left-right direction above the decorative portion 304. In addition, speakers 305R and 305L are provided in the vicinity of the decorative lamp 304 for reproducing production sound and the like.

[0041] The display panel unit 312 of the decoration unit 304 includes a liquid crystal display (LCD) 313 for displaying a moving image for presentation, and a display window 314 for displaying a rotating display symbol. The display window 314 is formed of a transparent region that is integrally formed with the display panel unit 312.

[0042] Inside the display window 314, there is provided a symbol variation portion 316 composed mainly of three spinning reels 350A, 350B, 350C.

[0043] Also, at the bottom of the display window 314, a 7-segment display 315A for displaying the number of medals paid out as the game medium of the pachislot machine 300, setting of the remaining number of jack games and the game state (six levels) display, etc. A display unit 315B for displaying the number of credits and a 7-segment display unit 3 15C for displaying the number of credits are provided.

[0044] The operation unit 306 has an upper portion protruding forward, a medal insertion portion 320 is provided at the right end of the upper surface of the protruding portion, and credits are paid in order from the left end of the upper surface. A checkout button 103, a single bet (insert) button 352A, and a pine bet (maximum input) button 352B are provided. Further, a start lever 354, stop buttons 356A, 356B, 356C, and the like are provided in this order from the front left end of the protruding portion.

The payout unit 310 includes a medal discharge port 326 and a tray 328 for receiving a medal discharged from the medal discharge port 326.

[0046] The three reels 350A, 350B, 350C are rotated so that the symbols are sequentially displayed on the display window 314. The power is also visible. The direction of rotation appears to move from top to bottom in FIG.

[0047] Here, among the symbols that can be seen from the display window 314 when the rotation is stopped, the line connecting the centers of the symbols arranged in the middle row, the line connecting the centers of the symbols arranged in the upper row, and the symbols arranged in the lower row The combination of the symbols that stop on the five active lines of the line that connects the centers and the two lines that connect the centers of the symbols that are lined up on two diagonal lines, respectively, indicates the result of the game.

[0048] Of the five lines, which line is considered to be the effective line is determined by the number of medals invested. When one medal is bet, the center of the symbols arranged in the middle line is connected. A line is considered an active line, and if 3 medals are bet, all lines are considered active lines.

[0049] The stop buttons 356A, 356B, and 356C are provided at the lower part of the symbol changing section 316, and each of the linolees 350A, 350B, and 350C [corresponding! In other words, the rotation of the corresponding reels 350A, 350B, and 350C can be stopped by the player operating the stop buttons 356A, 356B, and 356C.

[0050] Further, by operating (tilting) the start lever 354 provided on the left side of the stop buttons 356A, 356B, 356C, the reels 350A, 350B, 350C start to rotate. This rotation is usually such that the three reels 350A, 350B, and 350C start rotating simultaneously.

[0051] Further, the operation timing by the start lever 354 is an internal lottery timing described later, and the winning (winning) Z is determined by the operation of the start lever 354.

[0052] Of the lines, a line aligned in a horizontal line in the upper row is used as a reference line for stop control (including slip control) described later. That is, stop control is performed based on the positional relationship between the reference line and the center line of the symbol located on the reference line.

[0053] The reels 350A, 350B, and 350C do not stop between the symbols, and the stop is always controlled by the symbol pitch!

[0054] Further, in detail, if there is a stop operation when the center line of the first symbol on the reference line exceeds the reference line, the linole 350A, 350B, 350C should be reversed. The control to stop the second symbol (below the maximum symbol pitch) is the so-called bitter-stop criterion until the center line of the next second symbol coincides with the reference line. It becomes.

[0055] (Control system)

FIG. 2 schematically shows a control block diagram for controlling the operation of the pachislot machine 300.

[0056] The control system of the pachislot machine 300 is mainly composed of the main control unit 100. The main control unit 100 identifies medals inserted from the medal insertion unit 320, and determines the number and types of medals inserted. Is connected to the medal selector 102 that outputs the type (illegal or genuine) and the stop button 356A, 356B, 356C, MAX bet button 352B, 1 corresponding to the start lever 354 and the reels 350A, 350B, 350C described above. The bet button 352A and a settlement button 103 for returning medals stored (credited) inside the gaming machine when the game is stopped are connected to each other via a sensor or the like (not shown) that detects the operation state.

[0057] The main control unit 100 includes a main control circuit 110 configured to include a CPU. The main control circuit 110 mainly includes a RAM 128 that temporarily stores a game progress status and the like, A ROM 130 in which various programs are stored is connected, and a clock pulse generation circuit 124 that generates a clock pulse that is a reference for the operation of the main control circuit 110 is connected via a frequency divider 126. .

In addition, a random number generator 120 and a random number sampling circuit 122 are connected to the main control circuit 110. The main control circuit 110 controls the random number generator 120 in synchronization with the clock noise input via the frequency divider 126 to generate a random number sequentially. In the random number sampling circuit 122, the random number generator 120 Acquire and sample the generated random number.

[0059] In the pachislot machine 300, an internal lottery is performed by the main control unit 100 to determine whether a major role or a small role is won at the operation timing of the start lever 354. In the main control circuit 110, the start lever When 354 is operated, random number acquisition circuit 122 is instructed to acquire, sample, and output random numbers, and thereby a lottery result is derived according to the random number input from random number sampling circuit 122.

[0060] If the internal lottery is a win (winning), the stop button 356A, 356B, 3 When the winning symbols are aligned by the stop operation by 56C, the player can obtain the number of medals according to each symbol, and the gaming state is advantageous to the player according to the aligned symbols.

Here, there are a small role and a big role as roles. Of these, the big actors include big bonuses (hereinafter referred to as “BB” where appropriate) and regular bonuses (hereinafter referred to as “RB” where appropriate), and the degree of advantage to the player differs in the corresponding games. . A game corresponding to RB (hereinafter referred to as “RB game” as appropriate) is composed of a plurality of small role games, and a game corresponding to BB (hereinafter referred to as “BB game” as appropriate) The number of medals earned does not exceed the upper limit! It is configured to include RB games that can be won multiple times within the range! For this reason, naturally, the RB game is more advantageous to the player than the small role game, and the BB game is more advantageous to the player than the RB game.

[0062] Further, a motor drive circuit 132 is connected to the main control unit 100, and the left (L), middle (C), and right (R) reel motors 106A are connected to the motor drive circuit 132. , 106B and 106C are connected to the left, middle and right linole 350A, 350B and 350C respectively.

[0063] Furthermore, the main control unit 100 is connected with a reel position detection circuit 134 for detecting the rotational positions of the three reels 350A, 350B, 350C. , 350B, 350C can be known at any time.

[0064] In the pachislot machine 300, the symbol variation by the symbol variation unit 316 is started at the operation timing by the start lever 354. When the start lever 354 is operated, the main control unit 100 Start driving the reel motors 106A, 106B, 106C via the motor drive circuit 132 and rotate the three reels 350A, 350B, 350C, respectively. Then, the stop buttons 356A, 356B, 356C Based on the operation, the three reels 350A, 350B, and 350C are stopped.

Here, in the main control unit 100, when the rotation of the reels 350A, 350B, 350C is stopped based on the stop operation by the stop buttons 356A, 356B, 356C, the predetermined number of frames is determined according to the result of the internal lottery. The slip control is executed.

[0066] In other words, when the internal lottery is off, if the stop button 356A, 356B, 356C is operated at the stop timing at which the symbol that stops only on the winning line stops on the active line, this symbol is intentionally stopped. In order to avoid this, the stop position is shifted (kicked away) Control to stop at the line.

[0067] Also, when the internal lottery is won, even if the winning symbol does not stop at the stop timing operated by the player, if the winning symbol is within the predetermined number of symbols, the winning symbol is intentionally stopped on the active line. The stop position is shifted (retracted) so as to

[0068] By kicking and pulling in, the result of the internal lottery and the result of the game can be made uniform, and even if the stop operation timing is slightly shifted, the winning symbols can be aligned. In this way, the player can be prevented from being lost as much as possible.

Here, in the slip control including kicking and pulling in as described above, the amount of sliding (the number of sliding symbols) varies depending on the result of the internal lottery.

[0070] In addition, the reels that have already stopped (generally, the left reel 350A is stopped when the middle reel 350B is stopped, and the left reel 350A and the middle reel 350B are stopped when the right reel 350C is stopped. The amount of slippage also varies depending on the state of the symbols (upper, middle, lower).

Therefore, in the main control circuit, the stop operation timing by the stop buttons 356A, 356B, and 356C for each of the internal lottery results and the determined symbol rows (the symbol to be bittered to the above-mentioned reference line). A slip control table (in this embodiment, a slip frame number table and a bit data table) that associates (specify) with the number of slip frames is stored, and the result is based on the result of the internal lottery and the determined symbol sequence. The slip control table to be read is read and the slip control is executed.

[0072] Further, among the already stopped symbol arrangements, there is a case where the symbol power that has been won in the internal lottery may be able to win in a plurality of winning lines. In order to average the probability of winning a prize line, a point for setting a priority is assigned to the slip amount information read out from the slip control table used for the slip control. The slip control table and the point addition control will be described later.

In addition, a hopper drive circuit 136 for operating a hopper 138 provided inside the pachislot machine 300 is connected to the main control unit 100. The hopper 138 stores medals, and the main control unit 100 pays medals from the hopper 138 via the hopper drive circuit 136 according to the stop pattern specified by the output from the reel position detection circuit 134. The reading is executed.

Further, a medal detection sensor 140 that detects medals paid out from the hopper 138 is disposed in the vicinity of the hopper 138, and is connected to the main control unit 100 via the payout completion signal circuit 142. . The payout completion signal circuit 142 determines whether or not the payout is completed based on the detection signal from the medal detection sensor 140, and generates a payout completion signal when it is determined that the payout is completed. Input to 100.

In the main control unit 100, when a payout completion signal is input from the payout completion signal circuit 142, the medal payout by the hopper 138 is terminated via the hopper drive circuit 136.

[0076] Further, a display lamp drive circuit 144 is connected to the main control unit 100, and the 7-segment display unit 315A, the display unit 315B, and the 7-segment display unit 315C described above are connected via the display lamp drive circuit 144. In addition, it controls the turning on and off of the indicator lamp 146 such as the enabling line.

On the other hand, a sub control unit 150 is connected to the main control unit 100, and the main control unit 100 inputs a command signal indicating a control state to the sub control unit 150 as needed. In the present embodiment, as communication between the main control unit 100 and the sub control unit 150, only one-way communication from the main control unit 100 to the sub control unit 150 is executed. Communication with the control unit 100 cannot be performed at all.

A liquid crystal control circuit 152 is connected to the sub-control unit 150, and the liquid crystal control circuit 152 controls the display state of a liquid crystal display device (LCD) 313 provided for production.

[0079] In addition, a lamp driving circuit 156 is connected to the sub-control unit 150, and the decorative lamp 304A [incorporated! /, The lamp 112, and the linole 350A, 3 are connected via the lamp driving circuit 156. Emission is controlled by the backlight 158, etc., which is provided on the inner side of the 50B and 350C and emits light toward the positions facing the symbols on the peripheral surfaces of the linole 350A, 350B and 350C displayed on the display window 314.

[0080] Further, a speaker drive circuit 154 is connected to the sub-control unit 150, and the speakers 305L, 3

The lottery unit 180 executes an internal lottery with the operation of the start lever 354 after a predetermined number of medals have been inserted (bet) as a trigger.

The lottery unit 180 acquires a random value in synchronization with the operation of the start lever 354, and sends the random value to the winning combination / symbol determination unit 184 via the table selection unit 182.

[0086] The table selection unit 182 has a role / symbol table (see FIG. 4) in which information indicating a role / symbol corresponding to a numerical value that can be acquired by the lottery unit 180 is stored for each gaming state of the pachislot machine 300. Stored. As the gaming state of the pachislot machine 300, for example, normal game, during BB internal selection, during RB internal selection, normal game during BB operation, during RB internal selection during BB operation, RB game, and the like can be mentioned.

[0087] The table selection unit 182 obtains information indicating the current gaming state (in the general game, during the RT game, when the major role flag is established, during the major role (BB, RB), etc.) from the gaming state control unit 186, and Select the role 'symbols to be determined' from the symbol 'symbol table provided for each state' symbol table.

[0088] Based on the role / symbol table selected by the table selection unit 182, the winning role's symbol determination unit 184 includes a winning role (small role (including replay), major role (RB, BB)) and winning symbol. And the determined winning combination and winning symbol are input to the gaming state control unit 186.

Connected to the game state control unit 186 is a game program memory 188 in which data indicating various programs corresponding to the game state of the pachislot machine 300 is stored. The game state control unit 186 reads the game program data corresponding to the game state from the game program memory 188 as appropriate and executes it mainly by the game execution control unit 186A. It comes to control.

Note that the game program memory 188 stores data indicating the normal game program and data indicating the major player game program. For example, in the normal game state, the game program memory 188 stores the normal game program data. In the case of a major player gaming state, the major player game program data is read according to the internal winning state of BB and RB, and the gaming state of BB and RB, and processed based on the respective program data Is executed.

[0091] On the other hand, the main control unit 100 includes a reel drive control unit 194. Based on the start operation of the start lever 354, 4.1 seconds have elapsed after the start of the previous game, The reel motors 106A, 106B, and 106C are driven via the motor driving unit 132 to start the rotation of the reels 350A, 35OB, and 350C.

Further, the reel drive control unit 194 performs stop control for stopping the rotation of the reels 350A, 350B, and 350C based on the operation of the stop buttons 356A, 356B, and 356C.

[0093] The reels 350A, 350B, and 350C are provided with detection sensors 198A, 198B, and 198C, respectively, and are connected to the reel drive control unit 194 via the reel position detection circuit 134. ! / At the time of the Linore Horse Ward U Utaki, the rotation positions of the Linore 350A, 350B, and 350C are recognized, and the reels 350, 350, and 350C are stopped while taking the above slip control into account. Then, the symbol arrangement of the stopped reels 350A, 350B, and 350C is sent to the game state control unit 186.

[0094] Based on the symbol arrangement of the stopped reels 350A, 350B, 350C, the gaming state control unit 186 confirms whether or not the player has won any combination, and if a small combination is won, a predetermined payout is made. If the winning combination is a rebray, replay control is executed. If the winning combination is a major player, the major player game program is read from the game program memory 188 and executed by the game execution control unit 186A.

In addition, the regular bonus game program and the big bonus game program power are separately stored in the major player program, and can be selectively read based on the elected major player.

[0096] In the regular bonus program, the lottery probability of a small role is usually in play Up to 12 games (maximum number of games) can be executed in a state where the draw probability is higher. The regular bonus game ends when a player wins a small role up to 8 times (maximum number of winnings) during these 12 games.

[0097] On the other hand, in the big bonus program, a regular bonus game can be executed with high probability as an exercise of the right, and if the number of acquisitions in the big bonus game reaches a preset upper limit number, the regular bonus game is being executed. If so, the big bonus game is over. In this embodiment, the winning probability of the small role in the big bonus game is almost the same as that of the normal game.

[0098] Further, a flag memory 192 is connected to the gaming state control unit 186 via the flag management control unit 190, and the internal winning state of the combination corresponding to the winning result of the internal lottery described above is determined according to the flag state. Manage.

[0099] Each flag is established by winning by internal lottery. Generally, the state of the small role flag disappears in one game (flag is not established) (the winning state is invalid), but the flag state of the major role After that, each reel 350A, 350B, 350C is stopped and the main character symbols are displayed in a predetermined arrangement on the display window 314, and are maintained until winning the main character (winning carry over).

Note that the flag memory 192 is connected to the reel drive control unit 194 described above, and the state of the flag stored in the flag memory 192 is a stop button 356A, 356B, 356C by the reel drive control unit 194. This is applied as a parameter for the slip control of pull-in or kick-off during stop control based on the operation of.

FIG. 5 shows a functional block diagram for executing the stop control of the reels 350A, 350B, and 350C in consideration of the slip control in the reel drive control unit 194.

[0102] Stop buttons 356A, 356B, and 356C are connected to reference line design determining section 200. In the reference line symbol determination unit 200, when the stop button 356A, 356B, 356C (each) is operated, the symbol position is recognized by a signal from the reel position detection circuit 134, and so-called bittering is stopped. The design of is specified. The reference line is the upper line.

[0103] Information on the identified bittering stop symbol is sent to the point calculation unit 201.

On the other hand, the flag memory 192 is connected to the flag determination unit 204. Flag determination unit 204 Then, the state of the flag at the current time (current game) is determined, and information on the determination result is sent to the table reading unit 206.

[0105] A slip control table memory 208 is connected to the table reading unit 206. The slip control table memory 208 includes a plurality of bit data tables 208 (X) (x = 1 2 ··· a-1 a) set for each gaming state (internal lottery result), and a plurality of slip commands. The number table 208 (y) (y = l 2 1 b) is stored (ab is a positive integer).

That is, in the slip control table memory 208, as the first reel stop control, the slip frame number table 208 (y) in which the number of slip commas is stored and for the second and subsequent reel stop controls. In addition, a bit data table 208 (X) in which bit data is assigned to each frame is stored in a mixed manner.

The table reading unit 206 selects and reads out the corresponding bit data table 208 (X) and sliding frame number table 208 (y) based on the determination result from the flag determination unit 204, and adds the points Send to arithmetic unit 201.

[0108] In the point calculation unit 201, based on the bit data assigned to each symbol, a basic point calculation for adding a preset number of points (nm) and a template (for example, the left reel 350A has already stopped) In this state, the middle reel 350B is stopped, and a symbol that can be won) is added to the point addition (P), and the bit number determined by the stop operation timing of the stop button 356B or 356C. With the stop symbol as the 0th frame, the stop timing point calculation for adding the score (k) to each of the 0th frame, the 2nd frame, and the 4th frame is executed.

[0109] Here, in the tempe adding point calculation in the present embodiment, a different score (P) is set for each of the symbols (types of roles) that can become tenno. Specifically, as shown in Table 1, watermelon has 8 points, bell has 24 points, red 7 has 32 points, blue 7 has S32 points. The score is not limited to the score itself, but it should be higher than the minimum score (8 points), which will be described later, and the number of paid out medals is higher.

[0110] [Table 1] At the time of temper

Blue 7 3 2

[0111] The point calculation result executed by the point calculation unit 201 is the slip control amount selection unit 20

It will be sent to 2.

[0112] The slip control amount selection unit 202 selects a slip amount (the number of slip frames) based on the score state of each symbol and sends it to the drive signal output unit 210. As a result, the drive signal output unit 210 controls the motor drive circuit 132 to stop the reel motors 106A, 106B, and 106C at a predetermined time.

[0113] The driving signal output unit 210 is connected to the gaming state control unit 186 (see Fig. 3) and the start lever 354, and the reel motors 106A, 106B are also used during the start control of the reels 350A, 350B, 350C. , Control the drive of 106C.

[0114] According to FIG. 6, the flow of the point addition processing will be shown for the basic point calculation, the point addition point, and the stop timing point point, taking the middle reel 350B as an example. FIG. 6 shows the correlations in Table 2 (Table 2 (B)) to Table 5 shown below, and the description is the same as Table 2 (Table 2 (B)) to Table 5.

[0115] (A) in Table 2 shows the sliding com- mand read by the table reading unit 206 from the slip control table memory 208 as the first reel stop control when “Red 7” and “Bell” are simultaneously selected. This shows the arrangement of the stop symbols of the left reel when the stop operation is performed at any position of number 9, 10, 11, 12 in number tape 208 (y). As shown in the figure, the upper row is “Red 7”, the middle row is “Bell”, and the lower row is “Watermelon”. Therefore, as a winning line for “Red 7” It can be seen that the upper line, the lower right, and the “BELL” winning line are middle lines.

[0116] That is, the numerical value in the column of the number of sliding frames shown in (A) of Table 2 indicates that the sliding is performed by the number of frames corresponding to the numerical value. For example, if an operation is performed when the symbol No. in which the value in the number of sliding frames is “3” is positioned at the top, the sliding control is performed for 3 frames from this point and stops. The same applies to the other numerical values (“1”, “2”, “4”), and the numerical value “0” indicates so-called bittering.

[0117] [Table 2]

(A)

(B)

When stop operation is performed when any of symbols (A), No. 9, 10, 11 and 12 in Table 2 is in the upper position

[0118] When the symbol is stopped on the left reel 350A, the bit data shown in Table 3 is read from the middle reel 350B.

[0119] Based on this bit data, as the basic key point, bit data "0"

+ 1 is assigned, and bit data “1” is assigned +4 as the point m.

[0120] This basic score is added so that the bit data "1" score will not be exceeded even if the stop timing score described later (+2 points as k points) is added to the bit data "0". It is.

[0121] Next, the power to be executed is a tempering point, and usually points for bit data "1" Add p (score set for each role type shown in Table 1, minimum score is +8 points).

[0122] At this time, as a result of the lottery, there is a possibility that a plurality of internal winnings are made simultaneously. For example, if Red 7 and Bell are both won simultaneously, depending on the stop operation timing, both symbols will be within the range of slip control (symbols No. 7 to No. 11 in Table 3 described later).

[0123] In this case, the priority is determined by setting a different score for each symbol that can be a template for the tempei addition point (score p) as described above. In other words, in the conventional bit data, the symbol of bit data `` 1 '' that is closest to the stop operation timing is to be stopped, so the symbol numbers in Table 3 are used for the symbol arrangements in Tables 2 and 3. When stopping at positions 8 to 11, all “bells” are subject to slip control stop, and red 7 can only be tempered with a so-called bitter stop (symbol No. 7 in Table 3). .

[0124] On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the number of red 7 tempered points is higher than the number of bell tempered points, and therefore, it is a high-priority design. As a result, "red 7" is the slip control stop target It becomes a symbol and red 7 is easy to temper.

[0125] In Table 3, the tempering points (points p) are executed for all bit data "1", but the bit data "1" is intentionally set where no tempering is performed. There is a case. This is a technique used to select the outcome in the case of missing, and no bit points are given to the bit data “1” for which such a setting has been made because there is no temper.

[0126] At the time when the calculation of the basic addition and the tempering addition is completed (the calculation is a very short time), the middle reel 350B can be stopped, and the stop button 356B is operated at the player's discretion. That's true.

[0128] Table 4 shows the states of stop timing addition points for the frames within the slip control range for each of the 21 symbols given to the middle reel 350B.

That is, at the stop operation timing, there are a total of 5 frames that can be stopped, including so-called bittering stop symbols. In each frame, +2 points are added as the stop timing additional points for the 0th frame, the 2nd frame, and the 4th frame.

[0131] In the slip control, as seen from the lower end of the column (bita stop position), the design with the first highest score is stopped, and the results are shown in Table 5. .

[0132] In Table 5, the upper, middle, and lower stop symbols of the middle reel 350B are represented by the numbers shown in Table 3, and “Red 7” and “Bell” are both internally won. In each case, the position for each tempering (upper or middle for red 7 or middle for "bell") is known. In Table 5, the “Red 7” Tempe is written as “Red”, and the “Bell” Tempe is shown as “Be”.

[0133] When a stop operation is performed at the timing of symbols No. 7 to No. 11 in which both symbols shown in Tables 3, 4 and 5 are within the range of slip control, “Red 7” slips. It is obvious that it is the target of stopping control.

[0134] In other words, the priority for each symbol in the slip control is determined mainly by the tempering points, and there are multiple simultaneous internal winnings, and the timing when both symbols are within the range of the slip control. Even when there is a stop operation, a specific symbol can be stopped on the winning line with a single bit data. [0135] [Table 5]

However, Red: “Red 7” is a tempered pie.

[0136] The operation of the present embodiment will be described below.

First, the flow of normal games will be described.

[0138] The power to complete the betting of the medals by operating the single bet button 352A or the max bet button 352B in the state where the medal is credited and V is rolled (or the medal is inserted from the medal insertion unit 320). Alternatively, when a bet is completed by inserting a medal from the medal insertion unit 320, the start lever 354 can be operated.

When the start lever 354 is operated, at the same time as this operation, the internal lottery of the winning combination is made by the lottery unit 180, and the reels 350A, 350B, and 350C start rotating under the control of the reel drive control unit 194.

The result of the internal lottery is transmitted from the winning combination / symbol determination unit 184 to the gaming state control unit 186. The gaming state control unit 186 updates and stores the state of the flag in the flag memory 192 according to the result of the internal lottery via the flag management control unit 190.

[0141] After that, when the player operates the stop buttons 356A, 356B, 356C, the force to stop the rotation of the reels 350A, 350B, 350C by this stop operation, the slip control is performed according to the flag stored in the flag memory 192. In consideration of this, stop control of the reels 350A, 350B, and 350C is executed so that the corresponding symbol is drawn into a predetermined position or kicked off from the predetermined position. That is, the reel drive control unit 194 selects the stop control table according to the flag state stored in the flag memory 192 and the game state by the game state control unit 186, and the flag is established. In some cases, the winning symbol can be stopped by a precise timing. In addition, a slight shift in the stop operation timing is corrected by slip control. On the other hand, if the flag is not established, the reels 350A, 350B, and 350C will slip even if they are pushed forward, and will stop at the winning symbol. Do not stop.

[0142] Next, when all the reels 350A, 350B, and 350C are stopped, a winning determination is made as to whether or not the winning is based on the stopped symbols. When winning a prize, the winning combination is also judged.

[0143] If it is determined by this determination that the major player has won, the bonus game control of the big bonus (BB) or regular bonus (RB) is executed (exercise) according to the stop pattern, When it is determined, predetermined payout control preset for the small combination is executed.

[0144] Here, when the stop operation by the stop buttons 356A, 356B, 356C is executed in sequence, the linole 350A, 350B, 350C force stops next page! /, When the left linole 350A force is stopped, Before that, the result of the internal lottery is winning, and at the same time, multiple roles are won internally (for example, “Red 7” and “Bell”). If the symbol corresponding to each winning role is stopped at the top (upper and middle), each role may win.

[0145] In this case, conventionally, bit data "1" is uniformly assigned to each symbol, and therefore the symbol of bit data "1" is the closest to the stop operation timing. As a result, the design force of both “Red 7” and “Bell” is within the range of slip control. In “1”, “Bell” was to be stopped, and “Red 7” had to be stopped at the timing of No. 7 (so-called bitter stop) in order to stop.

[0146] In addition, since two types of bit data that can be won are prepared on the winning line and a means for applying either bit data by lottery is used, there is a possibility of winning each winning line. However, the amount of memory consumed for one role was increased by the need for multiple bit data.

[0147] In contrast, in the present embodiment, a single bit data is allocated to one role, thereby reducing the amount of memory, and the bit data code allocation state and the subsequent stop operation. (Addition of stop operation with stop button 356B of middle reel 350B) etc., point calculation processing is executed for each symbol to be stopped. [0148] In particular, the tempering points (score p) are different for each type of role (symbol) as shown in Table 1, and the score p is increased in descending order of the number of medals paid out to increase the priority. Therefore, at the stop timing at which both `` Red 7 '' and `` Bell '' can win, the number of `` Red 7 '' increases as a result, and the stop control to `` Red 7 '' is possible by jumping over `` Bell '' It becomes.

[0149] The number of medals to be paid out refers to the number of payouts at the time, for example, when a small role such as "Bell" is arranged. Refers to the total number of payouts due to the exercise of executive officers' rights. Therefore, even if it is the payout power when “Red 7” is aligned, “Red 7” has a higher number of payouts and has a higher priority.

[0150] Hereinafter, the point calculation processing routine will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

[0151] This flowchart describes the process from the stop of the left reel 350A to the stop of the middle reel 350B, and Tables 2 to 5 are based on the flowchart of FIG.

[0152] In step 250, it is determined whether or not the left reel 350A has stopped. If the determination is negative, this routine ends. If an affirmative determination is made in step 250, the process proceeds to step 252 to determine the stop symbol (upper, middle, lower) of the left reel 350A. For example, as shown in Table 2 (B), it is determined that “Red 7”, “Bell”, and “Watermelon” have stopped at the upper, middle, and lower stages, respectively.

[0153] In the next step 254, based on the result of the internal lottery (here, "Red 7" and "Bell" are selected at the same time) and the stop symbol arrangement of the left reel 350A, the middle reel 350B is controlled to slide. Read bit data to stop the process (see Table 3) and go to step 260.

[0154] In step 260, first, basic point addition processing is executed.

[0155] In the basic point addition process, n points (+1 points here) are added to the read bit data “0”, and m points (+4 points here) are added to the bit data “1”. To highlight.

[0156] In the next step 262, the Tempica saddle point process is executed.

[0157] Fig. 8 shows the details of the tempering point addition process when "Red 7" and "Bell" are simultaneously elected in Step 262.

In step 262A, it is determined whether or not there is a winning line in which “Red 7” is tented. If the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to step 262B, where +32 is scored as the score p. Also, When a negative determination is made at step 262A, the routine proceeds to step 262C.

In step 262C, it is determined whether or not there is a winning line where “Bell” is tempered. If the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to step 262D to score +24 as the score p. If the determination at step 262C is negative, this routine ends.

[0160] In the present embodiment, since "Red 7" and "Bell" are simultaneously elected internally, the added point is either +32 or +24 (see FIG. 6).

[0161] After such basic addition and tempering addition, if there is a stop operation by the stop button 356B of the middle reel 350B (affirmative determination at step 264 in FIG. 7), the process proceeds to step 266, and the stop timing Execute point addition processing.

[0162] In the stop timing addition process, the design within the slip control range (5 frames in total) is specified based on the bitter stop design at the stop timing (see Table 4), and the 0th and 2nd frames are included. Add k points (here, +2 points) to the 4th frame.

[0163] By executing the basic point adding process, the tempering point adding process, and the stop timing adding process, a score difference occurs in the symbols of the five frames.

[0164] In the next step 268, slip control is executed so that the symbol having the highest score is stopped at the upper stage of the middle reel 350B, and this routine is terminated.

[0165] By specifying the stop symbol based on the score as described above, the slip control only for "Bell" where the timing of the stop operation as shown in Table 5 is within the range of the slip control is "Red 7". When it is within the range, the priority is lower than “Red 7” and a “Bell” prize can be generated.

[0166] As described above, in the present embodiment, when multiple internal winnings are made at the same time, the consumption of memory can be reduced by using a single bit data, and a specific It is possible to preferentially win the internal winning role of. In other words, in the present embodiment, when “Red 7” and “Bell” are both within the slip control range at a specific stop operation timing, the “Bell” that is the target first is skipped. The number of payouts by exercising the rights based on the winning of the major role by “Red 7” is larger than the number of small role payouts such as “Bell”, which is advantageous from the standpoint of player power.

[0167] In addition, the feature of the present invention is that the tempering points are made different for each internal winning combination (symbol). In addition to this, 2 for a certain winning combination (here, "Red 7"). Winning with various types of winning lines If a single bit data is applied, it is possible to realize the allocation with an almost equal probability by executing a point addition process (stop timing addition) for the bias of the winning line by applying a single bit data. .

In other words, in this embodiment, “Red 7” occurs evenly (1: 1) when “Red 7” as shown in Table 5 wins at the top and when it wins at the bottom right. Can be made.

In this embodiment, the force described for the stop control of the middle reel 350B when the left reel 350A is stopped first. The stop of the right reel 350C when the left reel 350A and the middle reel 350B are stopped first. It can also be applied to control.

[0170] In addition, after avoiding the right reel 350C stop control (winning determination), in order to avoid unreasonable winnings (winning even though the internal winning has not been won), search for an illegal place after the winning determination, The score should be 0. In this case, the same bit data as the bit data at the time of winning determination can be applied.

Industrial applicability

[0171] It can be used for a gaming machine such as a slot machine that uses medals, coins, gaming balls, etc. as a game medium. In particular, in a pachislot machine, in the reel stop control, only binary bit data for the slip amount is used. By memorizing, the memory capacity is reduced, and the same stop control nourishment as when the conventional number of sliding frames is memorized is maintained.
