Description

  The present invention relates to a sparrow ball game machine having reach operation means for reaching when a hand is in a hearing state, and more particularly, the remaining number of self-operating operations when the hand is in a hearing state. The present invention relates to a sparrow ball game machine provided with means for compensating for a player's forgetting operation to reach when the player reaches a predetermined number of times or less.

  A sparrow ball game machine that has been put into practical use has a game board in which a plurality of entrances are arranged corresponding to a plurality of types of mahjong tiles (hereinafter referred to as a spear), and one game board has 1 A game ball launching device for launching a predetermined number (predetermined number) of game balls per game, a display means such as a liquid crystal display device for displaying an effect image of the game, a control device for controlling the progress of the game, Etc. When a player inserts a predetermined number of medals required for the execution of one game into the medal slot, software (hereinafter referred to as a program) installed in a control device of a sparrow ball game machine composed of a microcomputer. ) Starts one game, and controls the progress of the game in accordance with the player's abandonment, self-restraint operation, and the like.

In such a sparrow ball game machine, the progress of the game is generally performed as follows under the control of a program.
First, the 14 symbols (layouts) that are necessary for starting the game are determined by lottery using random number generating means. The 14 symbols of the arranged baskets are stored in the table data storage area of the storage device, and the symbols are displayed on the display unit as the player's table.

  Next, when it is determined by the winning determination means that the 14 rooster symbols that have been distributed are not completed, the player has determined that the 14 roosters are unnecessary 1 Use the throwing pad switch etc. to perform the “scraping operation”. Then, the program of the control device performs a process of updating the handbook data stored in the handbook data storage area of the storage device, and displaying the 13 handbook symbols on the display device. Control is performed to supply one game ball to the game ball launcher.

  Subsequently, the player performs an operation (hereinafter referred to as “self-control operation”) of a spider that launches one game ball into the game board from the game ball launching device. Then, the symbol of the kite corresponding to the entrance into which the launched game ball has entered is added to the hand as a self-defeating kite. At this time, the program of the control device performs a process of adding its own symbol code to the manual data storage area of the storage device, and updates 14 symbols as the player's current manual to the display device. To display.

  Subsequently, the winning determination means provided in the control device determines whether or not the combination of 14 hand-hand symbols that have been made by this self-operation has completed a preset combination of rising (completion) combination. The process of determining If the hand is raised and the combination of winning combinations has not been completed, the player again selects one unnecessary bag from the hand and performs the discarding operation. The operation of the discarding pad is performed by pressing a discarding switch button corresponding to the hand symbol displayed on the display device.

  In this way, the player performs a self-control operation of firing a predetermined number of game balls (for example, 11) set in advance, and the combination of the rising combination in which 14 hands are set in advance. When the is completed, a predetermined number of medals preset for each winning combination (hereinafter referred to as the number of medals associated with winning) can be obtained as a prize.

  As the previously set up winning combinations, 20 or more types of rising winning combinations that are almost the same as those in a normal mahjong game are set. In addition, the number of medals associated with winning that can be obtained when a winning combination is completed is set higher for a combination that is difficult to increase.

  On the other hand, when the player cannot complete the winning combination even if the player has launched a specified number of game balls, the control device performs a process of ending (game) the game.

  In addition, in the conventional sparrow ball game machine that has been put into practical use, a reach button serving as an operating means for reaching is installed. When the hand is in a hearing state, the player can reach by pressing the reach button. When the reach is applied, if the self-acquisition obtained by the self-operation increases and does not complete the role, the self-restraint is processed as a throwing away. However, if the self-obtained by the self-sufficient operation after reaching reach and completing the role, the back dora determined by lottery at the start of the game becomes effective. Then, if the back dash symbol is included in the hand that completed the rising combination, the number of medals corresponding to the number of back dramas is added to the number of medals accompanying the winning.

  Further, in a sparrow ball game machine that has been put to practical use, if the rising combination completed by the player is a specific rising combination determined by a lottery using random number generation means at the start of one game, With respect to a predetermined number of games, it is possible to play a game that has acquired a special gamer's right that is advantageous to the player as compared to a normal game (normal game).

  This special game combination (bonus game) is generally provided with two types, a big game combination and a chance game combination. A big game combination is a player who plays a certain number of games including the game for the next and subsequent games when a specific rising combination (for example, Daisangen) is set as a big game combination in advance for each game. It means a game that can win a game advantageous to the user.

  In the game that has acquired the right of the big game role, the passing hole on the game board (attacker operating hole) becomes effective, and when the game ball launched by the player passes through the attacker operating port, the special ball inlet (attacker) Opens. Then, when a game ball enters the attacker, the game allows the player to select a desired basket as his / her own by operating a selection button or the like. Then, when the player completes the winning combination for the game that has acquired the right of the big game, a plurality of subsequent games can play the game with the right of the big game combination being established.

  With a chance game combination, when the game goes up with a specific rising combination set by lottery as a chance game combination for each game, the number of points (number of medals) that can be obtained in this game is added from the normal game up combination (for example, 2 times) or only the next one game can be played with the above-mentioned big game role right. Therefore, the player can obtain more medals when acquiring the right of the special gamer. The normal game refers to a game that has not acquired the right of the big game role or the chance game role.

  In the conventional sparrow ball game machine, as a lift that can acquire the right of a big game role, a plurality of lift roles selected from a plurality of types of lift roles set in the sparrow ball game machine are used. For example, one of the rising roles such as “Daisangyuan”, “Kyuren Baoji”, “Kunishi Musou”, “Jun Zentai Ko”, “Kiyo Otoko”, etc. used random number generating means. It was decided by lottery.

  On the other hand, examples of the winning role that can acquire the right of the chance game role include, for example, “Ippontsu”, “Seven Pairs”, “Three Darks”, “Peace”, “Ichiguchi”, “Tang Yao” The two winning combinations are determined by a lottery using random number generating means.

  The conventional sparrow ball game machine provided with the reach button for applying the above reach has the following problems.

  (1) When the hand is in a hearing state, it is up to the player to determine whether or not to reach by operating the reach button. However, when a player is obsessed with choosing a game to throw away or to refrain from, he sometimes forgets to reach by operating the reach button.

  (2) A player who does not understand the game rules of the sparrow ball game machine sometimes forgets to reach by operating the reach button when the hand is in a hearing state.

  (3) In each game, when the last self-restraint operation, that is, the hand before launching the remaining one game ball and is in the state of “listen if cut”, after reaching, It is more advantageous for the player to throw away one unnecessary symbol from 14 hands. The reason for this is that when the reach is applied, the back dora becomes effective when the rise is completed by the last self-control operation, and there is a possibility that the player's profit may be increased as compared with the case where the reach is not applied. . However, due to the reasons (1) and (2) above, if you have forgotten to reach even if the hand is in a hearing state, the reach will not be in the last self-operation. was there.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a sparrow ball game machine provided with means for compensating forgetting of the reach operation when the player forgets the reach operation.

The present invention provides a self-operation operation processing means for adding a symbol to a hand as a self-manipulation by a self-manipulation of a symbol corresponding to the entrance into which a prescribed number of game balls have been launched and entered the game board. A design that comprises a throwing-up operation processing means for throwing out one unnecessary design from the hand after operation and a reach operation means for reaching when the hand is in a hearing state, and constituting the hand In a sparrow ball game machine that can acquire a number of medals associated with a winning set for each winning combination when a combination of rising is completed in advance,
Reach generation storage means for storing reach generation information indicating that the game has been reached based on an input signal from the reach operation means;
Hearing determination means for determining whether or not the manual operation after the self-operation is in a hearing state;
A self-operation remaining number counting means for counting the number of remaining self-operations;
When the hearing determination means determines that the hand after the self-operation is in a hearing state and the progress of the game satisfies a preset automatic reach setting condition, the reach generation storage means The sparrow ball game machine further comprises automatic reach setting means for storing the reach occurrence information.

  Furthermore, the present invention is the sparrow ball game machine in which the automatic reach setting condition is such that the remaining number of times of the self-restraint operation after the self-restraint operation is set to a predetermined number A or less.

  Furthermore, the present invention is a sparrow ball game machine in which the predetermined number of times A is set to 1.

  By setting the number of times A to “1”, when the player is in a hearing state when performing the last self-balling operation, and the player does not reach, Because the last one ball self-restricting operation is always performed in a state where the reach is applied, there is a possibility that if the player completes the rising role, he / she can obtain a profit from the back drum.

The sparrow ball game machine of the present invention has the following effects.
The player operates the reach button to reach when the player's hand enters the listening state after performing the self-operation and the remaining number of self-operations is less than the predetermined number. If the user forgets, the present invention is provided with means for compensating forgetting to operate the reach button. In particular, according to the present invention, the player presses the reach button during the last self-operation, that is, the hand before firing the remaining one game ball and is in the state of “listen if turned off”. Even if the reach is not applied, the program is set so that the reach is automatically applied. As a result, when the rising combination is completed by the final self-operation, the back dora becomes effective, and there is a possibility that the number of medals obtained by this back dora increases. Therefore, the present invention can provide a sparrow ball game machine that is friendly and advantageous to the player.

When the main control board Ka transmits data to the first image control board Kc and the second image control board Kd, the data is transmitted via the sub control board Kb.

  The self-remaining number-of-times counting program P1c counts the number of times that the player can perform further self-operation in the game each time the player performs self-operation (the number of remaining self-contained) and stores the number of times in the RAM 42a. This is a program for performing the processing to be performed, and serves as means for counting the number of remaining times of self-operation. As described above, the player can launch a prescribed number (for example, 11) of game balls per game from the game ball launch lever 4 as a self-rotating operation. Therefore, since the remaining number of times of self-restraint becomes the same value as the remaining number of game balls, “11” is set as an initial value. The self-remaining number-of-self-counting program P1c performs a process of "-1" for the number of remaining self-contained based on the signal of the game balls launched by the player to the entrances 13a, 13b, etc.

  As described above, the number of remaining self-repressions and the remaining number of game balls mean the same thing. Therefore, in the present invention, a game ball remaining number count program for counting the remaining number of game balls may be provided instead of the self-residual remaining number count program P1c.

  The self-control operation processing program P1d has a design (self-control) corresponding to the entrance into which the game ball has entered by the self-control, in response to the self-control performed by the player when the number of manual controls is thirteen. This is a program for performing a process of determining a code and a process of adding the determined symbol code as a self-restraint to the storage area of the manual data stored in the RAM 42a.

  The throwing-in operation processing program P1e has a number of symbols of 14 by handing out and self-manipulating, and when this hand has not been completed, the player uses the throwing-out data for throwing away This is a program for performing a process of discarding one unnecessary symbol designated by the operation of the button switch 19a,.

  It should be noted that the player's operation of the throwing pad can be performed by any of the button switches 19a, 19b,..., 19m, 20 for the throwing pad corresponding to the design of the hand pad displayed on the hand pad display unit 34 of the display device 16. Press or Then, based on the discard signal from the discard button switch, the discard operation processing program P1e performs a process of deleting the symbol code that has been discarded from the manual data storage area stored in the RAM 42a. .

  The reach button input processing program P1f is, for example, “1” as information indicating reach occurrence information in the reach flag set in the RAM 42a when the player turns on the reach button 21 and the input signal is input. Is a program that performs processing for storing "." The reach flag set in the RAM 42a serves as reach generation storage means, and "0" is stored as an initial value at the start of the game.

  The medal management program P2 counts the number of medals inserted by the player into the medal slot 17 based on a signal from the medal insertion sensor 17a, an input signal from the game end button 24, and an input from the medal payout button 25. This program updates the number of stored medals when a signal or the like is detected.

  The game ball management program P3 is a program that is activated by the main control program P1 at the start of the game and when a throw-in operation signal is input to the main control board Ka from the throw-in button switch 19a,. Then, the game ball feeder is controlled to perform a process of sending one game ball to the game ball launch position (not shown in FIG. 1). Thus, the player can operate the game ball launch lever 4 to launch a game ball, that is, perform a self-sufficient operation.

  The automatic catering program P4 is a program for performing processing for automatically and randomly determining the symbols codes of 14 catering that will be a player's hand at the start of one game.

The winning determination program P8 includes, as subprograms, a rising / listening determination program P8a, a rising combination determination program P8b, a medal number determination program P8c, a special game combination acquisition determination program P8d, and the like.

  The rise / hearing determination program P8a, when the player's hand data reaches 14 pieces, the combination of the symbol codes constituting the 14 hand hands has completed the rise combination or the listening It is a program for determining whether or not a state is reached, and serves as a rising and hearing determination means. This rising / listening determination program P8a is the main control when the automatic layout program P4 determines 14 allocations at the start of the game, and when the player performs a self-control operation and the number of manuals reaches 14. It is executed according to the control of the program P1.

  Whether the ascending / listening judgment program P8a has completed the ascending combination or the state of hearing for the 14 hand data of the player stored in the RAM 42a is as follows. (Procedure 1) to (Procedure 4) can be performed.

(Procedure 1)
The rising role shown in FIG. 10 is a rising role consisting of a combination of special symbols such as “Kokushi Musou” and “Seven Pairs”, and a total of four sets of “Konko” and “Junko” and one set of “Sparrow”. It is composed of “general ascending roles” consisting of a combination of “head (counter)”. Therefore, first, a process is performed to determine whether “Kokushi Musou” or “Seven Pair” is up or in a hearing state. If it is not raised by “Kokushi Musou” or “Seven Pair”, it is judged whether it is raised by “general rising role” or in a hearing state.

(Procedure 2)
The program processing for determining whether or not the manual data is “Kokushi Musou” is performed for the symbol codes which are 14 manual data stored in the RAM 42a, “1” and “9” This is possible by having one symbol code for each of the character strings one by one, and determining whether one of the symbol codes constitutes “sparrow head”. If it is determined that “Kokushi Musou” is raised, the rising role code of “Kokushi Musou” is stored in the RAM 42a.

  In addition, in this process, all the design codes of several “1” and “9” and character 牌 are included in the manual data, but if “sparrow head” is not formed, “Kokushi” It can be determined that it is in a hearing state with “Musou”. In addition, the manual data does not include “one” and “nine” of a few numbers, and one type of letter “牌”. If the “sparrow head” is formed, it can be determined that “Kokushi Musou” is in a hearing state.

(Procedure 3)
It is determined whether or not the manual data is “seven pairs”. For the symbol codes that are the 14 manual data stored in the RAM 42a, seven combinations of “pairs” are completed, and This is possible by determining whether there is no combination of the same symbol codes in the seven pairs of “pairs” (four identical symbol codes). If it is determined that the “seven pairs” are raised, the rising combination code of “seven pairs” is stored in the RAM 42a. Further, in this determination process, if “pairs” composed of six different symbols are formed in the hand data, it can be determined that “seven pairs” are in a hearing state.

(Procedure 4)
It is possible to determine whether or not the hand data is “general rising combination” by performing the processes described in the following (1) to (4).

(1) It is determined whether or not the combination of “pairs” is included in the manual data. At this time, since there is a possibility that a plurality of “pairs” combinations are included, all combinations of “pairs” are determined, and the symbols are stored in the RAM 42a.
(2) Delete the symbol codes constituting one set of “pairs” obtained in (1) above from the 14 pieces of manual data stored in the RAM 42a.
(3) For the remaining manual data obtained in (2) above, if there are a total of four combinations of symbol codes that make up “Konko” and “Junko”, the current player's manual data Can determine that the ascending combination is complete.
(4) In the process of (3) above, when it is not possible to determine that the ascending combination is completed and another “pair” combination is included, this other “pair” combination The above processes (2) to (3) are also performed.

  In the determination processes (1) to (4) described above, if four sets of “cuts” and “junk” are formed in the manual data, these four sets of “prints” are selected from the 14 manual data. If any of the two remaining symbol codes except for the symbol codes related to “child” and “junko” is discarded, it can be determined that the 13 hand gestures are to be heard. Therefore, if four sets of “knot” and “junko” are formed in 14 pieces of manual data, it can be determined that the state is in a hearing state. In addition, three sets of “Tsuko” and “Junko” and one pair of “Tsuko” are formed in the manual data, and this three sets of “Tsuko” and “Junko” and one set of “Tsuko” are formed. If the three symbol codes remaining after deleting the symbol code related to “Pair” form any of “Tart”, “Kang Chan”, “Pen Chan”, or “Pair”, it is in a hearing state. Can be determined.

  If the up / hearing determination program P8a determines that the current 14 hand-held data is in the state of hearing, it performs a process of storing “1” in the hearing flag set in the RAM 42a.

  The rising combination determination program P8b is a program that performs processing for determining what rising combination is completed for the hand data that the above-described rising / listening determination program P8a determines to be rising. This determination process can be performed by the following (Procedure 5) to (Procedure 7). It should be noted that “Seven Pairs” and “General Rising Roles” excluding “Kokushi Musou” may have completed a rising role combined with other rising roles due to the combination of the manual data that completed the rising. Therefore, the rising combination determination program P8b also determines whether or not the combined rising combination is complete.

(Determination of rising role)
(Procedure 5)
Since “Kokushi Musou” does not have a combined rising role, if it is determined that “Kokushi Musou” is raised in (Procedure 2), the rising role determination program P8b reads “Seven pairs” and “ It is not necessary to determine the rising combination for “general rising combination”.

(Procedure 6)
“Seven Pairs” can be “Tan Yao”, “Mixed Color”, “Kiichi Color”, “Mixed Elder Head”, and “Character Color” as combined rising roles. Accordingly, it is a rising combination that may be combined with “seven-pair” as a subprogram of the rising combination determination program P8b or in the seven-pair rising determination program for performing the processing of (procedure 3) described above. Equipped with a program to determine whether or not “Tang Yao”, “Mixed Color”, “Clear Color”, “Mixed Elder Head”, and “Character Color” have been completed, determine the rising role combined with “Seven Pairs” can do. The rising combination code obtained by this determination process and the combined rising combination code are stored in the RAM 42a.

(Game progress control)
Next, a method for controlling the progress of the game by the operation control program installed in the sparrow ball game machine 1 of the present invention will be described. FIGS. 14 to 17 are flowcharts showing a flow in which the main control program P1 mounted on the main control board Ka that controls and controls the progress of a game controls the progress of one game. Hereinafter, the control flow will be described in the order of steps shown in FIGS.

  As for the flow of control described below, a case will be described in which the remaining number of times of self-operation is set to a predetermined number A or less as the automatic reach setting condition.

  Further, although not shown in FIG. 14, the game hall manager and the like turn on the power of the sparrow ball game machine 1 before starting business on that day. When the power of the sparrow ball game machine 1 is turned on, the main control program P1 of the main control board Ka initializes the storage area of the RAM 42a of the main control board Ka. Subsequently, the main control program P1 transmits an initialization control command when the power is turned on to the sub control board Kb, and the sub control board Kb transmits this initialization control command to the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd. .

  When the sub-control board Kb, the first and second image control boards Kc, Kd receive this initialization control command, the main program mounted on each control board initializes the storage areas of the RAM 42b, RAM 42c, RAM 42d. Turn into. Also, the main control programs P31 and P41 mounted on the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd operate the initial effect display programs P32a-1 and P42a-1, and the effect screen when the power is turned on. For example, processing such as displaying an image relating to a landscape or a character on the display devices 10 and 16 is performed. As a result, the sparrow ball gaming machine 1 enters a state in which the game can be executed when the player inserts a predetermined number of medals per game into the medal slot 17.

(Step S1)
In order for the player to play a game, it is necessary to insert a predetermined number of game media, for example, three medals, into the medal slot 17 for each game. When a medal insertion signal from the medal insertion sensor is input to the main control board Ka, the main control program P1 activates the medal management program P2. The medal management program P2 performs processing for counting the number of inserted medals and storing the number of medals inserted in the storage area of the RAM 42a for storing the number of stored medal.

  When the main control program P1 determines that the number of medals necessary for the execution of one game has been inserted, a control command for prompting the player to press the game start button 18 is sent via the sub control board Kb. Transmit to the first image control board Kc. When the first image control board Kc receives this control command, the game effect display program P32a-2 performs a process of displaying “Please press the game start button” on the display device 10. At this time, the sound / sound effect output program P43 of the second image control board Kd may be operated to simultaneously output sound from the speaker 6.

(Step S2)
The game player waits until the player presses the game start button 18 and a game start signal is input to the main control board Ka. When the game start button 18 is pressed, the main control program P1 transmits a game start control command to the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd via the sub control board Kb. Based on this control command, the game effect display programs P32a-2 and P42a-2 of the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd display the effect image at the start of the game on the display devices 10 and 16, respectively. The sound is output from the speaker 6 by the sound / sound effect output program P43. In this way, one game of the sparrow ball game machine starts.

  Subsequently, at the start of one game, the main control program P1 performs an initialization process for storing initial values in various storage areas set in the RAM 42a. For example, a predetermined number of “11” is stored as an initial value in an area (the remaining number storage area of game balls) that stores the number of game balls that can be launched by a player for self-control in one game. Then, processing for setting various flags described later to initial values is performed.

(Step S3)
Subsequently, the main control program P1 operates the automatic layout program P4 to perform a process of automatically determining 14 symbols codes required for starting the game. The automatic layout program P4 sequentially stores the 14 symbol codes automatically arranged in the manual storage area of the RAM 42a, and then, in a predetermined order, for example, ascending order of the symbol codes, that is, insulator, tube, cord , Wind tiles, ternary tiles are rearranged in this order and stored in the manual storage area.

  Next, the main control program P1 of the main control board Ka transmits the 14 arranged symbol codes together with the control command to the sub control board Kb. When the main control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb receives the 14 assigned code codes, the main control program P21 stores the assigned code codes in the RAM 42b and distributes the 14 assigned code codes to the second image control board Kd. Send the symbol code. When the game effect display program P42a-2 on the second image control board Kd receives the 14 symbols of the design code, the image of the symbol shown in FIG. 5 is used as the current player's manual. The display process is performed on the hand display unit 34 and the self display unit 35 of the display device 16.

(Step S4)
Subsequently, the main control program P1 operates the dra lottery program P7 to perform a process of determining the symbol codes of the front and back dora of the game. The determined front and back side design codes are stored in the RAM 42a and transmitted to the second image control board Kd via the sub-control board Kb together with the control command.

  When the main control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb receives the design codes of the front and back sides of the game from the main control board Ka, the main control program P21 performs a process of storing these codes in the RAM 42b.

  When the game effect display program P42a-2 of the second image control board Kd receives the symbol code of the front drum, as shown in FIG. 5, the symbol corresponding to the symbol code of the front drum is displayed on the front drum display unit 28. The design code of the back side is stored in the RAM 42d.

(Step S5)
It is determined whether or not “0” is stored in the special game flag set in the RAM 42a. If "0" is stored as a result of this determination, the process proceeds to the next step S7. On the other hand, if “1” or “2” is stored in the special game flag, the process proceeds to step S50 shown in FIG. As described above, “0” is stored in the special game flag when the control of the game proceeds in the normal game mode, and “1” is stored when the game proceeds in the big game mode. “2” is stored when proceeding in this mode.

(Step S6)
Since it is determined in step S5 that the game is to be controlled in the normal game player mode, the main control program P1 operates the special game player lottery program P5. The special game combination lottery program P5 first activates the big game combination lottery program P5a to determine one upcomb that can acquire the right of the big game combination in the game. Then, a rising combination code that can acquire the right of the determined big game combination is stored in the RAM 42a.

  Subsequently, the special game combination lottery program P5 operates the chance game combination lottery program P5b to determine two rising combinations that can acquire the right of the chance game combination in the game. Then, a rising combination code that can acquire the right of the determined chance game combination is stored in the RAM 42a.

  The code of the rising combination that can acquire the right of the big game combination and the chance game combination determined by the big game combination lottery program P5a and the chance game combination lottery program P5b is controlled by the main control program P1 together with the control command. The image is transmitted to the second image control board Kd via the sub control board Kb.

  When the game effect display program P42a-2 of the second image control board Kd receives the code of the rising role that can acquire the right of the big game role and the chance game role, the effect display unit of the second display device 16 The big game combination display unit 31 and the chance game combination display units 32a and 32b set in the upper part of 30 (see FIG. 5) display a rising combination corresponding to these rising combination codes. From this display content, the player can recognize the winning combination that can acquire the right of the big game combination and the chance game combination of one game to be executed.

  When the above processing is completed, the conditions for executing one game have been prepared. Therefore, the fact that one game will be started is displayed on the first and second display devices 10 and 16, and the speaker 6 Control is performed so as to perform processing to notify by voice.

  If the player's hand is thrown away and the player is in a listening state, the reach button 21 can be pressed to reach the player. When the reach signal is input to the main control board Ka, the main control program P1 transmits a control command indicating that the reach has been applied to the second image control board Kd via the sub control board Kb. To do. Then, when the game effect display program P42a-2 of the second image control board Kd receives this control command, the game effect display program P42a-2 displays a process corresponding to the design code of the back dora stored in the RAM 42d on the back dra display unit 29. Do.

(Step S7)
The main control program P1 operates the ascending / listening determination program P8a, which is a subprogram of the winning determination program P8, to determine whether or not the 14 hand-allocated hand-already data have completed the ascending combination. Perform the process. The procedure for determining whether or not the combination of the 14 manual data has been completed by the rising / hearing determination program P8a is as described in the above (Procedure 1) to (Procedure 4).

  If it is determined in step S7 that the ascent has been completed, the process proceeds to step S20 shown in FIG. On the other hand, if it is determined that the ascent is not completed, the process proceeds to step S8.

(Step S8)
As described above, when the ascending / listening determination program P8a determines that the 14 pieces of handpiece data are in the state of hearing, a process of storing “1” in the hearing flag is performed. In this step S8, it is determined whether or not “1” is stored in the hearing flag, that is, whether or not the 14 hands are in the state of hearing (when turned off). As a result of this determination, if it is determined that the state is in a hearing state, the process proceeds to step S9. If it is determined that the state is not in a hearing state, the process proceeds to step S12.

(Step S9)
It is determined whether or not the value stored in the storage area for counting the remaining number of times of self-operation set in the RAM 42a is equal to or less than a predetermined number A (for example, A = 1 or 2) set in advance. As a result of this determination, if the remaining number of times of self-operation is less than or equal to A, the process proceeds to step S10, and if it is greater than A, the process proceeds to step S12.

(Step S10)
It is determined whether or not “1” is stored in the reach flag set in the RAM 42a. As a result of the determination, if “0” is stored in the reach flag, that is, if the reach has not been applied yet, the process proceeds to step S11. on the other hand,
If “1” is already stored in the reach flag, the process proceeds to step S12.

(Step S11)
Since the player has not operated the reach button 21 yet to reach, the player performs a process of storing “1” in the reach flag. As a result, the subsequent games are controlled with the reach being reached.

  The processes in steps S8 to S11 described above are processes for implementing the reach automatic setting means that characterizes the present invention. Due to this feature, if the remaining number A of self-operations is set to “1”, if the player forgets to reach by operating the reach button 21, the reach is automatically performed by the program processing. Therefore, the last self-control operation can always be performed with reach. As a result, when the rising is completed by the last self-sufficient operation, the back dora becomes effective, which may increase the number of medals that the player can acquire.

(Step S12)
The process of step S12 is a step of discarding one unnecessary bag from the 14 manual table data and discarding it as a bottle. First, the main control program P1 determines the stored contents of the reach flag. If “0” is stored in the reach flag as a result of this determination, the game is in a state where no reach is applied, so the processes described in (1) to (3) below are performed. On the other hand, if “1” is stored in the reach flag, the game place is in the reach state, so the processing described in (4) below is performed.

  (1) First, the assist control command for discarding is transmitted to the sub-control board Kb. Upon receiving this control command, the sub-control board Kb operates the target increase setting program P23a and the throwing-away support program P23b, and performs a process of determining and supporting the player to be thrown away. Then, the assist program P23 transmits the determined symbol code to the first image control board Kc, and controls the first display device 10 to display the symbol to be discarded as shown in FIG. 6A. To do. Subsequently, the main control program P1 waits for an input as to whether or not the player has turned on any of the discard button switches 19a, 19b,. It is set in a waiting state until the operation of the bag is performed, and when the discard signal is input, processing for the discard operation is performed.

  (2) When the player performs a throwing-in operation and a throwing-in signal is input from any of the throwing-in button switches 19a, the main control program P1 activates the throwing-in operation processing program P1e. The discarding operation processing program P1e performs a process of determining the symbol code of the symbol that the player has discarded, and subsequently, the symbol code of the discarding symbol is stored from the manual data stored in the manual storage area of the RAM 42a. Perform the deletion process.

  (3) Subsequently, the main control program P1 transmits the discarded design code and the 13 pieces of manual data to the second image control board Kd via the sub-control board Kb. When the second image control board Kd receives the discard symbol code and 13 manual data, the game effect display program P42a-2 displays the symbol corresponding to the discard symbol code in the discard symbol display unit 33. , A process of displaying symbols corresponding to 13 pieces of handbook data on the handbook display unit 34 is performed.

  (4) The main control program P1 transmits a control command for its own automatic discarding process to the second image control board Kd via the sub-control board Kb. When the second image control board Kd receives this control command, the game effect display program P42a-2 performs a process of displaying the symbols displayed on the self-displaying unit 35 on the display unit 33, A process of erasing the symbol displayed on the self-displaying portion 35 is performed. As a result, when the reach is applied and the kite that has been self-sufficient in the next self-operating operation is not completed, the self-control is automatically performed by the main control program P1 without pressing the discard button switch 19a or the like. It becomes possible to perform the disposal of discarded trash.

(Step S13)
Step S13 is a step in which the player performs control corresponding to the self-determination operation to be performed. First, a self-assist assist control command is transmitted to the sub-control board Kb. When the sub-control board Kb receives this control command, the target increase setting program P23a and the self-support program P23c are operated to perform a process of determining a symbol to be self-control for the player. Then, the assist program P23 transmits the determined symbol code to the first image control board Kc, and performs control for causing the first display device 10 to display the symbol to be restrained as shown in FIG. 6B. . Subsequently, the main control program P1 is in a waiting state until the player performs a self-rotation operation, that is, the main control program P1 causes the player to launch one game ball from the game ball launch lever 4, and this game The ball enters the entrance port such as the entrance port 13a, and the waiting state is set until the entrance signal is input from the entrance sensor.

(Step S14)
When a game ball launched by the player's self-restricting operation enters the entrance, and the entrance signal is input from the entrance sensor installed at the entrance, the main control program P1 is left unattended. The number counting program P1c is operated to perform a process of subtracting one remaining number of remaining times (remaining number of game balls) stored in the storage area of the RAM 42a, and the remaining number of game balls is set to the sub control board Kb. To the second image control board Kd. When the game effect display program P42a-2 of the second image control board Kd receives the remaining number of game balls, the game effect display program P42a-2 displays this value on the remaining game ball number display section 27 of the game balls.

(Step S15)
In step S15, the main control program P1 operates the self-rotation operation processing program P1d. The self-control operation processing program P1d obtains a symbol code corresponding to the entrance into which the game ball has entered, and performs a process of storing the symbol code in the RAM 42a as the symbol code of its own.

  Subsequently, the main control program P1 transmits the symbol code serving as the self-restriction to the second image control substrate Kd via the sub-control substrate Kb as the symbol code of the reed that the player has reluctant. When the game effect display program P42a-2 of the second image control board Kd receives the symbol code of the kite that the player has refrained from, the game display display program P42a-2 displays the symbol corresponding to the symbol code of the confused kite on the second display device 16. The process which displays on the eaves display part 35 is performed.

  Subsequently, the main control program P1 performs a process of adding the symbol code that the player has operated himself to the 13 pieces of manual data stored in the manual storage area of the RAM 42a. Operate. The rising determination program P8a determines whether or not the manual data that has become 14 pieces by the self-operation has completed the rising. This determination process is the same as step S7 described above. If it is determined that the rising is completed as a result of the rising determination process, the process proceeds to step S20 shown in FIG. On the other hand, if it is determined that the ascent is not completed, the process proceeds to step S16.

(Step S16)
The main control program P1 determines whether or not the player can perform further self-operation, that is, whether or not the remaining number of times of repression stored in the storage area of the RAM 42a in step S14 or the remaining number of game balls is “0”. The process which determines is performed. If the result of this determination is “1” or more, processing for returning to step S8 is performed. On the other hand, if there are no game balls that can be fired, the process proceeds to step S17 to perform processing for game over (game end).

(Step S17)
Since the player could not complete the rise even if the player performed a self-control operation of firing a specified number of game balls, the main control program P1 performs a process of ending the game as a game over (flow station). .

  As the game over process, a game over control command is transmitted to the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd via the sub-control board Kb. When the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd receive the game end control command, the first and second display devices 10 and 16 display “game over” or the like.

  Further, the main control program P1 operates the game history data recording program P11 to update the history data by adding the history data of the game executed by the player to the history data storage area of the RAM 42a and recording the history data. Perform the process. The game result history data stored in the RAM 42a is the data item described in the processing contents of the game history data recording program P11.

(Step S20)
Since the player's hand data has completed the ascending combination, the main control program P1 activates the rising hand determination program P8b, and first completes any rising hand for the hand data that the player has completed. The process which determines whether it is doing is performed.

  As described above, the rising combination determination program P8b for executing the rising combination determination process, when the player's hand data has completed the rising combination of “seven pairs” or “general rising combination”. Also, a process for determining whether or not the combined rising combination has been completed is also performed. For the determined rising combination, all of the rising combination codes are stored in the RAM 42a.

(Step S21)
Subsequently, the main control program P1 operates the big game combination acquisition determination program that is a subprogram of the special game combination acquisition determination program P8d described above, and the rising combination completed by the player is the same as the big game combination of the game. Is determined, that is, whether or not the winning combination has acquired the right of the big game combination. Then, if the right of the big game role has not been acquired, the chance game role acquisition determination program is operated, and the rising role completed by the player is determined as the chance game role of the game. It is determined whether or not it is the same as either one, that is, whether or not the winning combination has acquired the right of the chance game combination. As a result of the determination, the control proceeds to the next step S22 if it is up as a big game combination or as a chance game combination, and to step S23 if it is not up.

(Step S22)
As a result of the determination in step S21, if it is determined that the rising combination of the player is a rising combination that can acquire the right of the big game combination, "1" is stored in the special game flag set in the RAM 42a. Further, when it is determined that the winning combination can acquire the right of the chance game combination, a process of storing “2” in the special game flag is performed.

  The special game flag is a flag for determining whether or not the player's self-determination operation proceeds in the normal game mode, the big game combination mode or the chance game combination mode in the next game progress control. It is.

(Step S23)
The main control program P1 operates the medal number determination program P8c to determine the number of medals (m1) that can be acquired by the player with winning for the rising combination determined in step S20, and stores it in the RAM 42a. . The number of medals (m1) is obtained with reference to the winning combination-based winning medal acquisition number table (see FIG. 10) stored in advance in the ROM 41a for the determined winning combination code. In this process, as described above, when a combined winning combination is included, the number m1 of medals associated with winning is also obtained for the combined rising combination. As a result, when the combined winning combination is completed, the number of medals m1 associated with winning is obtained for all these rising combinations, and the total number of m1 is obtained as the number of medals (M1) that can be acquired with winning. Perform the process. In the process of step S23, when the winning combination that can acquire the right of the big game combination is completed, the number of medals (m1) that can be acquired with winning is doubled, for example.

(Step S24)
Subsequently, the main control program P1 operates the score increase program P12a by the drag, which is a subprogram of the additional medal number calculation program P12 serving as a score increase means, and the number of medals (M1 that can be acquired with the above-mentioned winning) In addition, a process for obtaining the number of medals to be added (M2) is performed. It should be noted that the procedure for obtaining the number of drags and the number of added medals included in the hand data for which the score increase program P12a by the drag has completed the winning combination is as described above.

  In step S24, a process for determining whether or not “1” is stored in the reach flag set in the RAM 42a is performed. Then, if “1” is stored, the score increase program P12a based on the dredger determines whether or not the symbol code of the back drum is included in the manual data, and the added medal number (M2) based on the back drum. ) Is performed.

  In the present invention, in the above-described steps S8 to S10, the remaining number of times of self-restraint is a predetermined number A or less, in particular, the last self-restraint operation, that is, the hand before firing the remaining one game ball. When the player is in the “listening” state, the player automatically sets the reach by the program processing without pressing the reach button to apply the reach. As a result, when the player completes the rising role by the last self-control, the back dora becomes effective, so there is a possibility that the number of medals earned by this back dora will increase. can do.

(Step S25)
The main control program P1 obtains the total number of medals (M1) and additional medals (M2) that can be acquired with the winnings stored in the RAM 42a and stores them in the RAM 42a. This total number (M1 + M2) is the number of medals that the player can acquire.

  Note that the number of medals that can be obtained by a player for one game is set so as not to exceed a preset number, for example, 30 as described above, so if (M1 + M2) exceeds 30, The total number of medals that can be acquired by the player is set to “30”.

(Step S26)
Since the player has completed the ascending, the player transmits data relating to the ascending combination code, the number of acquired medals and the like to the first and second image control boards Kc and Kb together with the ascending control command. When this control command is received, the first image control board Kc is displayed on the display device 10 by the game effect display program P32a-2, and the second image control board Kd is displayed as a game effect. The display program P42a-2 causes the display device 16 to display the effect of completion of the winning combination for a predetermined time (several seconds).

  If the player completes a winning combination that can acquire a special gaming combination, the control command is transmitted to the first image control board Kc. When this control command is received, the first image control board Kc causes the display device 10 to display an effect for acquiring the special game character by the special game character acquisition effect display program P32b.

(Step S27)
Subsequently, the main control program P1 operates the medal payout control program P9 to perform a process of paying out (M1 + M2) medals acquired by the player stored in the RAM 42a.

(Step S28)
The main control program P1 performs a game end process. As the game end processing, the game history data recording program P11 is operated to add or update the game history data related to the completion of the winning combination by the player this time in the history data storage area of the RAM 42a. And processing for recording. Further, as described above, the control command for game end is transmitted to the sub-control board Kb and the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd. Subsequently, control is performed to return to step S1.

(Progress control of games that have acquired special gamer rights)
(Step S50)
Since the player is executing a game that has acquired the special gamer's right, the main control program P1 performs a process of determining the content stored in the special game flag set in the RAM 42a. If “1” is stored in the special game flag, the process proceeds to step S51 for controlling the progress of the game in the mode in which the right of the big game combination is acquired. On the other hand, if “2” is stored in the special game flag, the process proceeds to step S61 in which the progress of the game is controlled in the mode in which the chance game role right is acquired.

(Step S51) (Step S52)
In step S51, the progress of the game is controlled in the game mode in which the big game role right is acquired. This game progress control basically follows the steps S7 to S13 excluding steps S8 and S8a. However, the self-restricting operation in step S10 is advantageous to the player as follows.

  In other words, in the next game in which the player has acquired the right of the big game role, after 14 arrangements are determined, the attacker operation port 12 of the game board 2 becomes effective. Then, when the game ball launched by the player passes through the attacker operating port, the attacker 11 opens. Subsequently, every time a game ball that has been launched next enters the attacker 11, a desired one is selected from the 27 types of symbols displayed on the display device 16 by operating the selection buttons 22 a and 22 b and the determination button 23. You will be able to choose 牌 as self-restraint. Then, when the player completes the rising by performing the discarding operation and the above-described self-restricting operation advantageous to the player, the process proceeds to step S53.

(Step S53)
“1” is added to the area for counting the number of continuous big games set in the RAM 42a. If the game that has acquired the right of the big game role is continued and raised, the game that has acquired the right of the big game role can be continued up to a preset upper limit number of times, for example, up to 14 times. In step S53, a process for counting the number of big game continuations is performed.

(Step S54) to (Step S57)
The processing from step S54 to step S57 is the same as the processing from step S20 to step S27 except for the above-described steps S21 and S22. That is, in step S54, the rising combination of the hand data that the player has completed is determined by the rising combination determination program P8b. Subsequently, in step S55, processing for obtaining the total number (M1 + M2) of medals acquired by the player is performed.

  In this step S55, the medal number determination program P8c obtains the number M1 of medals that the player can acquire along with the winning combination for the rising combination determined in step S54. A process for obtaining the number M2 is performed to obtain the total number (M1 + M2) of medals acquired by the player.

  Subsequently, in step S56, along with the control command for completing the rising combination, data relating to the rising combination code, the number of acquired medals and the like are transmitted to the first and second image control boards Kc, Kb, and the first display device 10 and The second display device 16 is controlled to display the effect of completion of the rising role. Next, in step S57, the main control program P1 operates the medal payout control program P9 to perform a process of paying out (M1 + M2) medals acquired by the player stored in the RAM 42a.

(Step S58)
It is determined whether or not the number of continuations of the big game has exceeded a preset upper limit number. This determination is made by checking the stored contents of the number of times of continuing the big game set in the RAM 42a. If the upper limit number has been exceeded, the process proceeds to step S59. On the other hand, if the upper limit number has not been exceeded, the big game continuation number is set to the first image control board via the sub control board Kb. After performing control to transmit to Kc, the process proceeds to step S60.

(Step S59)
Since the player has lost the right of the big game role, a process for storing “0” in the special game flag and a control command indicating that the right of the big game role has been lost are sent via the sub-control board Kb. Then, control to transmit to the first image control board Kc is performed. Then, the process proceeds to step S60.

(Step S60)
A process of adding the history data of the game executed by the player this time to the history data storage area of the RAM 42a and a process of updating the history data are performed, and the process returns to step S1.

(Step S61) (Step S62)
In steps S61 and S62, progress control of the game that has acquired the right of chance game combination is performed. The control of the game progress is the same as the processing in steps S51 and S52 described above.

(Step S63)
Since the player has completed the winning combination, the processing of steps S54 to S57 described above is performed to determine the total number of medals acquired by the player, and the processing for paying out the medals from the medal payout device to the player. To do.

(Step S64) (Step S65)
When a game that has acquired the right of chance game role is executed, the game can be executed in a mode in which the right of big game is acquired for only one game. Accordingly, in step S64, “0” is stored in the special game flag, and the next game is controlled in the normal game mode. Subsequently, the process proceeds to step S65, in which a control command indicating that the chance game has been completed is transmitted to the first image control board Kc via the sub-control board Kb. Then, the process proceeds to step S60.

  As described above, if the player's 14 handicrafts are thrown away and the player is in a hearing state, the player can reach by operating the reach button 21 before performing the operation of throwing away unnecessary wrinkles from the handicraft. Can do. Then, when the reach is applied and the kite that has been self-sufficient in the next self-operating operation is not completed, the self-control is automatically thrown away by the main control program P1 without pressing the throw-away button switch 19a or the like. It becomes possible to carry out the processing of cocoons.

  FIG. 17 shows the processing contents of the main control board Ka when the player presses the reach button 21 to reach. The reach button input processing program P1f of the main control board Ka processes the reach generation signal that accompanies the player pressing the reach button 21 as an interrupt signal. When the reach button input processing program P1f receives the reach generation signal, as shown in step S70, the reach button input processing program P1f stores “1” in the reach flag set in the RAM 42a. Subsequently, in step S71, a control command indicating that reach has occurred is transmitted to the second image control board Kd via the sub-control board Kb. When the second image control board Kd receives this control command, the game effect display program P42a-2 performs a process of displaying a symbol corresponding to the symbol code of the back drum stored in the RAM 42d on the back drum display unit 29. Do.

  The main control program P1 mounted on the main control board Ka controls the progress of the game by executing the above-described steps.

  In the above-described embodiment, as an example of the automatic reach setting condition, an example has been described in which the hand is in a hearing state, and the remaining number of times of self-operation is set to a predetermined number A or less, in particular, A = 1. However, in the present invention, the following conditions may be set as the automatic reach setting conditions.

A three-raising role with the smallest number of medals associated with winning a prize, with three back drums included in the hand-palm with a hand-listening state, In addition, on the condition that it is determined that the winning combination is not a target for the special game combination, for example, the reach flag is set to “1” even if the remaining number A of self-control operations is “2” or “3”. Set automatic reach setting conditions.
In this case, for a hand that has been determined to be in a hearing state when it is turned off, a process for determining a wrinkle that rises if it is thrown away and its rising role by discarding one unnecessary spear by program processing And a process of predicting the number of medals accompanying the winning that can be obtained by the player.
