Description

  It relates to gaming machines.

  The most popular pachinko machines are currently displayed with a special symbol on the 7-segment display, such as when a game ball enters the starter (start chucker). When the special symbol is in a specific mode (for example, “7”), a special gaming state that is more profitable for the player than the normal gaming state {a special winning opening (attacker) that is normally closed is a predetermined condition Is a model that is called “Digipachi” (conventional “first-class game machine”). Here, in order to reduce the burden of display control of special symbols that are directly linked to the interests of the player, in addition to the aforementioned “special symbols”, it is referred to as “decorative symbols” for the purpose of enhancing the fun of the game. The symbol to be displayed is variably displayed on a display such as a liquid crystal having a size larger than that of the display unit in a form synchronized with the variation of the special symbol. And when the change of the special symbol is started, the decorative symbol also starts to change accordingly, and when the special symbol stops in a specific mode (for example, “7”), the decorative symbol also changes to the predetermined mode (for example, “777”). Then, the player recognizes that the transition to the special game has been confirmed because the decorative symbol has stopped in a predetermined manner.

  Such a mechanism is common to this type of pachinko machine, so in order to differentiate it from other types, how to devise the overall production including the variation of the above-mentioned design and give high interest The focus is on what to do. For example, the movable body accessory effect is one of them, and the movable object effect effect is an effect video developed on a display device such as a liquid crystal display during the period from the start of symbol variation to the symbol stop. It is an effect mainly intended to enhance the effect of the production by moving the movable object in conjunction with the image. In realizing such an effect, a gaming machine equipped with a plurality of movable objects has been proposed in order to further enhance the interest of the game (Patent Document 1).

Here, as apparent from a comparison between FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the driving mechanism of the movable body accessory A and the driving mechanism of the movable body accessory B are completely different, and the movable range (initial stage) of the variable member in both is different. The displaceable distance from the position), the attachment position (generated gravity), or the gear non-uniformity is also different. As a result, when both movable body accessories start to be driven at the same time, due to these differences, the displacement speed of each movable body accessory is different, resulting in a decrease in visual interest for the player. (It seems that both movements do not match). Since it is difficult to approach such a problem by adjusting the internal mechanism of the movable body accessory, it is necessary to cope with the software that drives and controls the movable body accessory. However, when dealing with the software side, if the program processing content is significantly changed, there arises a new problem that the versatility of the software is reduced. Therefore, the following describes a technique for enabling the software side to cope with the apparent movement of each movable body accessory and avoiding drastically changing the program processing contents. .

Thus, since the movable body accessory A and the movable body accessory B are configured so that the “operation timing” is the same value, the drive controlled timing is configured to be substantially the same. . As will be described later, since the drive control of the movable body accessory A and the movable body accessory B is performed within a period of about 1 to 2 seconds, the “operation timing” as shown in this example is set. Thus, it is supplemented that the appearance operation and the storage operation are configured not to overlap. In addition, this example is merely an example, and in particular, even when the variation pattern (variation time) of the decorative symbol is different, the same “operation pattern” is determined in the operation content of a certain movable object. Also good.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, next, in step 8738, the rendering action availability / content determination means 2325c-1 determines that the movable body accessory A and the movable body temporarily stored in the movable body accessory operation state information temporary storage means 2325d. Based on the “operation pattern” of the accessory B, referring to the motor drive content determination reference table 2325c-1-2, the “motor drive content determination parent table name” referenced during the appearance operation and the storage operation Is temporarily stored (set) in the movable article operating state information temporary storage means 2325d.

  Here, FIG. 35 (motor drive table) is an example of a motor drive content determination reference table 2325c-1-2. As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, based on the “operation pattern” of the movable body accessory A and the movable body accessory B using the stepping motor as a drive source, “the parent table name for determining the motor drive content” Is uniquely determined. For example, when “operation pattern” = “appearance operation A1”, “motor drive content determination parent table name” = “motor A non-standby + constant speed control table (forward rotation)” is determined. Here, the “motor drive content determination parent table name” is a name meaning the drive content of the drive source, and as will be described later, detailed drive content (number of motor drive steps and rotational speed). Etc.) will be derived with reference to another table.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, next, in step 8740, the rendering action availability / content determination unit 2325c-1 sets the movable body accessory A (movable body) set in the movable body accessory operation state information temporary storage unit 2325d. Based on the “motor drive content determination parent table name” relating to the accessory B), the motor drive content determination parent table 2325c-2-1 is referred to, and the “motor drive content determination child table” (details will be described later) is referred to. The order and the number of reference repetitions are derived. Next, in step 8742, the performance operation propriety / content determination unit 2325c-1 determines the scheduled operation (calling order) related to the “motor drive content determination sub-table” based on the derived result as the movable body accessory operation state. Temporary storage (setting) is performed in the information temporary storage unit 2325d.

  Here, FIG. 36 (motor drive content determination parent table) is an example of the motor drive content determination parent table 2325c-2-1. As shown in this example, in this embodiment, the reference order and the number of reference repetitions of the “motor drive content determination child table” are uniquely determined based on the “motor drive content determination parent table name”. It is configured as follows. For example, if “motor drive content determination parent table name” = “motor A standby + constant speed control table (forward rotation)”, first, the “motor drive content determination child table that becomes reference priority order 1”. ”=“ Rotation standby table A00 ”is referred to three times, then“ Motor drive content determination child table ”, which is in the reference priority order 2, is referred to once,“ Constant speed normal rotation table A01 ”, and then "Motor drive content determination child table" = reference position order 3 = "position correction table A02" is referred to once, and finally, "motor drive content determination child table" = reference position priority 4 = "position hold" “Table AB0” is referred to three times. Here, the “motor drive content determination sub-table” is a table in which excitation methods such as the number of drive steps and rotation speed of a motor as a drive source are determined in advance, as will be described later. The excitation method differs depending on the type of the “child table”. Therefore, the permutation of the “motor drive content determination sub-table” determined by such a reference order and the number of reference repetitions (hereinafter also referred to as a scheduled operation or a calling order) is the drive content of the drive source. It is.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, next, in step 8744, the performance operation availability / content determination unit 2325c-1 sets the “motor drive content determination child table” set in the movable body accessory operation state information temporary storage unit 2325d. In accordance with the name of the “motor drive content determination child table” that is the scheduled operation based on the call order, refer to the motor drive content determination child table 2325c-3-1. Then, the drive schedule of the motor A (motor B) is determined and temporarily stored (set) in the movable body accessory operation state information temporary storage means 2325d.

  Here, FIG. 37 (motor drive content determination child table) is an example of the motor drive content determination child table 2325c-3-1. As shown in this example, in the present embodiment, the drive content of the motor A (motor B) is uniquely determined based on the name of the “motor drive content determination sub-table”. For example, if the name of the “motor drive content determination sub-table” = “acceleration normal rotation table A04”, first, “drive direction = forward rotation, number of drive steps” which is the drive content that becomes the motor drive content 1 After the motor A is driven on the basis of “total number = 3, rotational speed per step = 6 (ms)”, next, “driving direction = forward rotation, number of driving steps” After the motor A is driven on the basis of “total = 3, rotational speed per step = 5 (ms)”, finally, the drive content that becomes the motor drive content 3 is “drive direction = forward rotation, the number of drive steps. The motor A is driven based on “total = 166, rotational speed per step = 3 (ms)”. The drive contents are determined as the drive schedule for the scheduled operation based on the calling order of the “motor drive content determination sub-table” described above (an example of the drive schedule is shown in the margin). ).

Next, in step 8754, the rendering operation availability / content determination unit 2325c-1 refers to the drawing display related information temporary storage unit 2322c, confirms the variation pattern of the decorative design, and renders the rendering operation content based on the confirmation result. With reference to the determination reference table 2325c-1-1, the operation contents of the movable body accessory C and the movable body accessory D are determined, and the “operation pattern” and “operation timing” are set as the movable body accessory operation state information. Temporary storage (set) in the temporary storage means 2325d. Here, in the present embodiment, with respect to the movable body accessory C and the movable body accessory D having a solenoid as a driving source, the movable body accessory C and the movable body accessory D are driven (excited) by driving the solenoid. The movable body accessory C and the movable body accessory D are configured to perform the storing operation by performing the appearance operation and deactivating the solenoid (non-excitation). Therefore, in this example, the “operation pattern” means the excitation period (excitation time) of the solenoid, and the “operation timing” means the excitation start timing of the solenoid. The “operation timing” is set to be after the completion of the storing operation of the movable body accessory A and the movable body accessory B. In particular, the movable body accessory A and the movable body accessory C are It is supplemented that it is configured so as to avoid the situation of collision. Next, in step 8758 and step 8760, the rendering action availability / content determination unit 2325c-1 applies the movable body accessory C and the movable body accessory D temporarily stored in the movable body accessory operation state information temporary storage unit 2325d. Based on the “motion pattern”, a predetermined excitation time related to the rendering operation of the movable body accessory C and the movable body accessory D is determined, and the determined excitation time is used as the movable body accessory operation state information temporary storage unit 2325d. The excitation period timer C and the excitation period timer D are set. Next, in Step 8762 and Step 8764, the rendering operation availability / content determination unit 2325c-1 determines the movable body accessory C rendering operation start permission flag and the movable body accessory in the movable body accessory operation state information temporary storage unit 2325d.

  Next, FIG. 40 is a flowchart of the operation end control process at the time of initial operation according to the subroutine of step 9300 in FIG. First, in the following description, since the processing flow of the movable body accessory A and the movable body accessory B is substantially the same, the difference between the two will be described in parentheses using a common flowchart, and the movable body Since the processing flow of the accessory C and the movable object D is substantially the same, the difference between the two will be described in parentheses using a common flowchart. First, in step 9302, the initial operation end control means 2325a-3 has any of the movable body accessory AD flags in the movable body accessory operation state information temporary storage means 2325d turned on. And different processing is executed based on the determination result.

If none of the flags is on, the process proceeds to the next process (operation start control process during error-resolving operation in step 9400).

  Next, when the “movable body accessory A initial operation flag” (“movable body accessory B initial operation flag”) is ON in step 9302, in step 9312, the initial operation end control means 2325 a-3 With reference to the current position information relating to the movable body accessory A (movable body accessory B) in the movable body accessory operation state information temporary storage means 2325d, the movable body accessory A (movable body accessory B) is set to the initial position. Determine if it exists.

  Here, the determination method of “whether or not the movable body accessory A (movable body accessory B) is present at the initial position” will be supplementarily described with respect to the movable body accessory A (targeting the movable body accessory B). The same can be said.) In the present embodiment, as described above, an example is given in which the position sensor α is installed at the initial position of the movable object A as the position sensor A, and the position sensor β is installed at the maximum drive position of the movable object A. In this case, based on whether the position sensor α or the position sensor β has detected the movable object A, the position of the movable object A can be grasped. For example, when the movable body accessory A is detected by the position sensor α, the movable body accessory A exists at the initial position, and when the movable body accessory A is detected by the position sensor β, The movable body accessory A is present at the maximum drive position. In addition, when neither the position sensor α nor the position sensor β detects the movable body accessory A, the movable body accessory A exists at any position between the initial position and the maximum drive position. It becomes. Here, at the time of executing the initial operation, (1) the number of driving steps in which the movable body accessory A can move from the initial position to the maximum driving position is predicted and calculated. A is driven, and (3) the driving is terminated when the driving for the number of driving steps is completed or the movable object A is detected by the position sensor β. Next, (4) predicting and calculating the number of drive steps in which the movable body accessory A can move from the maximum drive position to the initial position, and (5) driving the movable body accessory A by the number of drive steps, (6 ) When the driving for the number of driving steps is completed or when the movable object A is detected by the position sensor α, the driving is terminated and the execution of the initial operation is completed. This can be illustrated.

Intended. Such a series of operations (1) to (6) is desirably performed after ensuring that the movable body accessory A exists at the initial position at the start of the initial operation execution. However, when the gaming machine is turned on, the movable object A may not be present at the initial position. In such a case, a preparatory operation before the initial operation may be required. For example, as the preparation operation, when (A) the movable body accessory A is not detected by either the position sensor α or the position sensor β, (B) the movable body accessory A is moved in the direction of the position sensor α by a predetermined step ( For example, the movable body accessory A is driven by ½) of the number of driving steps that can move from the initial position to the maximum driving position, and (C) the driving for the number of driving steps is completed or the position sensor α When the movable object A is detected, the driving is terminated. If (C) the movable body accessory A is not detected, (D) the movable body accessory A can be moved in the direction of the position sensor β by a predetermined step (for example, from the initial position to the maximum drive position). The movable body accessory A is driven by ½) of the number of driving steps, and (E) the driving is performed when the driving for the number of driving steps is completed or the movable body accessory A is detected by the position sensor β. For example, a series of operations of (F) moving the movable body accessory A from the maximum drive position to the initial position may be performed.

As a result, it has been found that the movable body accessory A appears earlier than the movable body accessory B, and the appearance timing is about 30 ms earlier by measuring the appearance timing of both.

(Action related to adjustment of appearance timing)
Under such a configuration, in the present embodiment, even when both of the movable body accessories start to be driven at the same time, the appearance timing of the movable body accessory A and the movable body accessory B are substantially the same, and The software processing can be performed without significantly changing the program processing contents. More specifically, in this example, it is configured to occur when the decoration pattern variation mode is “Super Reach A”. In this case, the movable body accessory A and the movable body accessory B are After 10 seconds from the start of symbol variation, driving is started substantially simultaneously toward a position where the player can visually recognize (easy to see). More specifically, “motor pattern determination parent table name” = “motor A standby +, etc.” based on the determination that “motion pattern” = “appearing motion A2” related to the appearance motion of the movable object A As a result of being determined as “speed control table (forward rotation)”, after 10 seconds from the start of the symbol variation, the motor A first has the drive content defined by the “rotation standby table A00” as “drive direction = stop, drive step. After the driving by the excitation method of “total number = 1, rotational speed per step = 10 (ms)” is repeated three times in succession, the driving content determined by “constant speed normal rotation table A01” It is driven by an excitation method of “drive direction = forward rotation, total number of drive steps = 172, rotational speed per step = 3 (ms)”. Further, based on the determination that “motion pattern” = “appearing motion B2” relating to the appearance motion of the movable body accessory B ”,“ motor drive content determination parent table name ”=“ motor B constant speed control table (correct As a result, the motor B firstly has a driving content (same as the above-mentioned driving content) determined by the “constant speed normal rotation table B01” 10 seconds after the start of the symbol fluctuation. = Normal rotation, total number of drive steps = 130, rotational speed per step = 3 (ms) ”. As a result, since the movable body accessory A starts to be displaced with a delay of about 30 ms from the movable body accessory B, it is possible to make both appearance timings substantially the same. When realizing such drive control, the table reference destination is changed, but the program processing content is not changed, so that it is possible to avoid reducing the versatility of the software. It is.

(Operation related to adjustment of storage timing)
Further, under such a configuration, in the present embodiment, the storage timing of each movable body accessory (arrival timing to a position where it is not visible or difficult for the player) is set substantially at the same time. Yes. That is, even when both of the movable body accessories are started to be driven simultaneously, the storage timing of the movable body accessory A and the movable body accessory B is substantially the same, and the program processing content is significantly changed. However, it is configured to enable support on the software side. More specifically, in this example, it is configured so as to occur when the decoration pattern variation mode is “super reach B”. In this case, the movable body accessory A and the movable body accessory B are After 20 seconds from the start of symbol variation, driving is started almost simultaneously toward a position where the player cannot visually recognize (difficult to see). More specifically, based on the determination that “operation pattern” = “storage operation A3” related to the storage operation of the movable article A = “master table name for determining motor drive content” = “motor A acceleration control table” As a result of determining “(reverse rotation)”, after 20 seconds from the start of symbol variation, the motor A is driven according to the “acceleration reverse rotation table A40”, “driving direction = reverse rotation, total number of drive steps = 3”. “Rotation speed per step = 6 (ms)” → “Drive direction = reverse rotation, total number of drive steps = 3, Rotation speed per step = 5 (ms)” → “Drive direction = reverse rotation, number of drive steps” Is driven continuously by an excitation method of “rotation speed per step = 4 (ms)”. Here, at the time of the appearance operation of the movable body accessory A when the decoration pattern variation mode is “Super Reach B”, the motor A starts the displacement with a delay of about 30 ms as described above, and then the “acceleration” “Driving direction = forward rotation, total number of driving steps = 3, rotational speed per step = 6 (ms)” → “driving direction = forward rotation, driving step” which is the driving content determined by the “forward rotation table A04” Excitation method: “total number = 3, rotational speed per step = 5 (ms)” → “driving direction = forward rotation, total number of driving steps = 166, rotational speed per step = 3 (ms)” The movable body accessory A and the movable body accessory B appear almost simultaneously at the same time. That is, as is clear from comparison between the two, the rotational speed per step of the motor A is increased during the storing operation of the movable body accessory A than when the movable body accessory A appears (the rotational speed is reduced). In other words, the storage timing is set to be the same without providing a delay time of about 30 ms until the displacement is started. When realizing such drive control, the table reference destination is changed, but the program processing content is not changed, so that it is possible to avoid reducing the versatility of the software. It is.

(Another example of the action related to the adjustment of appearance timing)
Further, under such a configuration, in this embodiment, even when both of the movable body accessories start to be driven simultaneously, the appearance timings of the movable body accessory A and the movable body accessory B are substantially the same. And the completion timing of the appearance operation | movement of the movable body accessory A and the movable body accessory B is comprised substantially simultaneously. More specifically, in this example, it is configured so as to occur when the decoration pattern variation mode is “super reach C”. In this case, the movable body accessory A and the movable body accessory B are: After 20 seconds from the start of symbol variation, driving is started substantially simultaneously toward a position where the player can visually recognize (easily visually recognize). More specifically, “motor pattern determination parent table name” = “motor A non-standby +” based on the determination that “motion pattern” = “appearing motion A4” related to the appearance motion of the movable body accessory A = As a result of the determination of “speed change control table (forward rotation)”, 20 seconds after the start of symbol variation, the motor A is driven according to the driving content determined by the “speed change normal rotation table A05”. Total number of steps = 10, rotational speed per step = 6 (ms) ”→“ driving direction = forward rotation, total number of driving steps = 10, rotational speed per step = 5 (ms) ”→“ driving It is continuously driven by an excitation method of “direction = forward rotation, total number of driving steps = 10, rotational speed per step = 4 (ms)”. In addition, after the driving, the motor A has the driving content defined by the “shift normal rotation table A06”, “driving direction = forward rotation, total number of driving steps = 20, rotational speed per step = 4 ( ms) ”→“ driving direction = stop, total number of driving steps = 1, rotational speed per step = 1 (ms) ”, and driving by the excitation method is repeated seven times in succession. Then, after the driving, the motor A has the driving content defined by the “shift normal rotation table A07”, “driving direction = forward rotation, total number of driving steps = 10, rotational speed per step = 4 ( ms) ”→“ drive direction = forward rotation, total number of drive steps = 10, rotational speed per step = 5 (ms) ”→“ drive direction = forward rotation, total number of drive steps = 10, per step Are continuously driven by an excitation method of “rotational speed of 6 = ms”. By such a driving method of the motor A, the movable body accessory A has an appearance that “appears while accelerating and displacing” → “appears while displacing at a constant speed” → “appearance is completed while decelerating and displacing” Become. Thus, at the time of the appearance operation of the movable body accessory A, for the purpose of synchronizing with the appearance timing of the movable body accessory B and the completion timing of the appearance operation, acceleration / deceleration operation, constant speed operation, and pause operation The displacement mode is adjusted while weaving together. When realizing such drive control, the table reference destination is changed, but the program processing content is not changed, so that it is possible to avoid reducing the versatility of the software. It is. When adjusting the displacement mode of the movable body accessory A, it is preferable that the driving content of the motor A is appropriately executed while referring to the current position of the movable body accessory B. More specifically, for example, “driving direction = forward rotation, total number of driving steps = 20, rotational speed per step = 4 (ms)”, which is the driving content determined by “shift normal rotation table A06”. → When the drive by the excitation method “drive direction = stop, total number of drive steps = 1, rotational speed per step = 1 (ms)” is repeated seven times in succession, the content of the drive of one time is completed. After that, referring to the current position of the movable body accessory B, when the current position reaches a planned position (a position that appears to be operating synchronously in appearance), It can be mentioned that the driving content is configured to be executed. In that case, a plurality of position sensors capable of detecting the current position of the movable body accessory B are provided, and the current position of the movable body accessory B can be detected at any time by the processing of step 6502. It is desirable.

  In the present embodiment, the case where a movable body accessory is installed in a pachinko gaming machine is illustrated, but the present invention is also applicable to the case where a movable body accessory is installed in a revolving game machine (so-called slot machine). The invention can be applied. Here, a supplementary description of a known slot machine will be given.

  First, in a well-known slot machine, a main board as a main game control section that controls the progress of a game, a sub board as a sub game control section that controls the execution of effects, and a main board for displaying identification information for main games. As a game identification information display section, a plurality of rows (generally three rows) of reels each having a plurality of pieces of identification information arranged on the outer periphery, and a main game start instruction device that can be operated by the player and instruct the game start And a stop button as a main game progress instructing device that can be operated by the player and instructs the progress of the game. The main board has a main game random number acquisition unit for acquiring a main game random number when the start lever is operated, and one or more stop identifications based on the random number acquired by the main game random number acquisition unit. Main game identification information display content determination means for tentatively determining information (for example, display content determination means for internally determining a winning combination such as a small role or a special character), and determination of the main game identification information display content Based on one or a plurality of stop identification information tentatively determined by the means and the operation timing of the stop button, the main stop control information is controlled so as to be fixedly displayed on the reel which is the main game identification information display unit. Game identification information display control means (for example, a reel control means for stopping the reel at a predetermined position based on the internally determined winning combination and the timing when the stop button is pressed); When a predetermined mode is displayed as stop identification information on a reel serving as a game identification information display unit, special game execution control means (for example, “777 etc.”) that controls to shift to a special game is on a predetermined active line The main game side information for transmitting the information related to the main game random number acquired by the main game random number acquisition means to the sub game control unit side. Transmission control means.

  The configuration relating to the movable body accessory of the present embodiment can be applied to the sub game control unit side in the slot machine having such a known configuration. Here, when a movable body accessory is installed in a pachinko gaming machine, the movable body accessory operates based on a variation aspect of symbol variation. On the other hand, when the movable body accessory is installed in the slot machine (for example, the movable body accessory is arranged at a position that does not hinder the visual recognition on the reel display surface), the internal lottery result on the main game control board side { For example, winning combination and gaming state (for example, re-playing probability variation gaming state)} or internal lottery result on the secondary game control board side {for example, assist games (so-called AT games) such as push order and winning small role notification Game state}, or the lottery result display contents on the reel (for example, the arrangement of symbols on the active line). Although there is a difference in the operation control method of the movable body accessory, it is supplemented that the present embodiment is not hindered when the movable body accessory is installed in the slot machine. Keep it.
