Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to a game information display system that displays various information about pachinko games, etc., and in particular displays a lucky number for each pachinko game machine before the start of the game. The inside part relates to a pachinko game information display system that displays various information depending on the game situation.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in a gaming area covered by a glass plate, there is a general prize opening, a starting opening, a variable display device that is activated based on winning in the opening [] or memory of winning, and a variable winning opening []. Pachinko machines are known that are equipped with windmills, obstacle nails, out ball collection ports, and the like.

In this type of pachinko game machine, the fired ball may not land in any of the winning holes during the process of flowing down the game area and may be collected directly into the out ball collecting hole, or
A normal game in which a prize ball enters the general winning hole and a prize ball corresponding to the winning is ejected, and when a ball enters the starting hole, the display on the variable display section of the variable display device is displayed for each winning or based on the memory of the winning. When the auxiliary game (variable display game) to be changed and the stop display (display symbol) as a result of the auxiliary game (variable display game) are displays that cause a hit, for example, the number of eyes (2, 2, 2) Various games are played, such as a jackpot game (special game) that is played when the number is won, and a lucky number game that is played based on the jackpot display when the displayed symbols match the lucky number. After the jackpot operation with the numbers is completed, the game can be continued without exchanging the acquired balls.

By the way, the above-mentioned lucky number was designated by pasting up a piece of paper with the lucky number written on it on one of the island facilities of the game parlor.

Furthermore, when a displayed symbol as a result of an auxiliary game (variable display game) matches a lucky number during a game, the staff member confirms each time whether or not it really matches the lucky number. Also, the number of times the lucky number occurred was not displayed.

Furthermore, when a jackpot game based on a display pattern that does not match the lucky number ends, the pachinko game is temporarily stopped and the game is restarted after all the acquired balls are exchanged for prizes.

However, when the jackpot game based on the displayed symbols that match the lucky number ends, the game can be continued without exchanging the acquired balls. In any case of a jackpot, the staff member records the displayed symbol that caused the jackpot in advance, and at the end of each game, instructs whether to exchange the acquired balls or continue the game.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the conventional system described above has the following problems.

First of all, if you stick a piece of paper with the lucky number written on it on the 1-1 section of the island equipment at the game parlor, you will have to re-stick it every time you change the lucky number, which is a tedious task. Displaying the lucky number for each gaming machine would further increase the trouble.

Furthermore, since the number of lucky numbers generated was not displayed, pachinko players' interest in selecting a pachinko game machine was halved.

Furthermore, in a system that artificially determines whether to exchange acquired balls or continue playing at the end of a jackpot game or lucky number game and issues an instruction, the game may be continued before the staff member confirms the displayed symbols. If the player loses the money, there is a risk that trouble will occur between the staff and the player over its effectiveness.

This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to easily set and check the lucky number for each pachinko machine, and to provide appropriate information according to the game situation. To provide a pachinko game information display system capable of displaying and transmitting information to players.

In this way, the lucky number set by the central management device 8 is displayed on the lucky number display section 41 of the information display control device 3, and the player can easily see the lucky number while playing the game. If the displayed symbol that occurred is not a lucky number, the number of jackpot occurrences is displayed in the jackpot occurrence number display section 51, and when it is a lucky number, the lucky number occurrence number display section 52 shows the number of occurrences of the lucky number. Since it is visually displayed, the player can easily see the number of jackpots that match the lucky number.

Next, the lucky number setting procedure will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 5 to 8.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an overview of the lucky number setting procedure by the central management device 8.

The setting of the lucky number starts when the central management device 8 is powered on in step S2, and the lucky number is changed before the start of the game, and is roughly divided into a routine when there is no lucky number and a routine when the lucky number is changed. In this case, the routine is further divided into a routine for changing each unit, a routine for changing each island, and a routine for changing all units at once.

Specifically, when the power is turned on to the central management device 8 in step s2, in step S4, a work menu is displayed on the display device as the display means 82, such as lucky number setting... If you want to change the lucky number, Please press "1" on your keyboard.

If the determination result is "No", the display returns to the work menu of step $4, while if "Yes", the display returns to the work menu of step $4. The process moves to step S8. In step S8, it is determined whether or not the above-mentioned "1" has been input. In this case, if it is determined that "1" has not been input, the process proceeds to step 310, where it is determined whether or not the aforementioned "0" has been input, and if it is determined that "0" has been input, the process proceeds to step 826. If it is determined that the lucky number is set based on the previous [1 data and the process moves to the lucky number transmission process of step 328, or that 11'' has been entered, the process moves to step S12.

In step S12, a work menu is displayed on the display means 82 asking you to select whether to set the lucky number for each machine, for each island, or for all machines at once. For example, setting a lucky number... If you want to set a lucky number as a dowel, press raJ on the keyboard. If you want to set the lucky number for each island, press rbJ on your keyboard. If you want to set the lucky number for all machines at once, press "C" on the keyboard.
"Please press. 〉 etc. will be displayed.

When the selection key is pressed according to such a display, step S
In Step 14, it is determined whether or not the selection key raJ for each unit is turned on, and when it is determined that it is turned on, the process proceeds to step S.
After the dowel setting process in step 20 (details will be described later), proceed to the lucky number sending process in step 328, or
If it is determined that the switch has not been turned on, the process moves to step S16.

In step S16, it is determined whether or not the island unit selection key rbJ has been turned on. When it is determined that it has been turned on, the process moves to the high unit setting process (details will be described later) in step S22, and when it is determined that it has not been turned on, Step 31.
Move to 8.

In step S18, it is determined whether or not the selection key "c" for all-machine setting has been turned on. If it is determined that it has been turned on, the process moves to all-machine setting processing (details will be described later) in step S24; If it is determined that
Return to 14.

When the dowel setting process in step S20, the high unit setting process in step S22, or the all-machine setting process in step S24 is completed, the process moves to the lucky number sending process in step S28, and then to the normal management process in step S30. do.

FIG. 6(a) shows a detailed control procedure for the lucky number dowel setting process performed in step S20 of FIG.

This control processing procedure is roughly divided into a routine for setting a lucky number and a routine for setting a different lucky number for each dowel after setting the lucky number.

In the dowel setting process, the selection key "ra" for selecting setting the lucky number for each machine on the keyboard 81 in the central management device 8 is turned on, and it is determined as 'Yes' in step S1.4 of FIG. will be started if the

First, in step 5202, for example, "dowel setting" is displayed on the display device 82 as a work menu,
The process moves to step 5204.

In step 5204, the display device 82 is used as a work menu.
For example, if you want to set a lucky number as a dowel, enter "Number" on the keyboard.
Please do it manually. If the numbers you entered are correct, please enter "/" using the keyboard. If you want to set multiple lucky numbers as dowels, please enter "number / number number /" on the keyboard. ” is displayed, and the process moves to step 8206. Step 8206
Then, it is determined whether or not a number has been entered as a lucky number using the numeric keypad 86 of the keyboard 81 of the central management device 8, and when it is determined that a number has been entered, the entered number is displayed on the display device flt82 in step 5208. After that, the process moves to step 210, and if it is determined that no number has been input, the process skips to step 5210.

In this step 3210, it is determined whether or not the "/" which is entered when the lucky number displayed on the display device 82 in step 3208 is correct is entered. In step 5212, one or more lucky numbers are displayed on the display device 82, and then the process moves to step 5214, and if it is determined that the digit "/" has not been input, the process skips to step 5214.

In this step 5214, it is determined whether or not "set" has been input using the set key 85 of the keyboard 81 of the central management device 8. When it is determined that "set" has been input, the process moves to step 8216, and if "1 set" has not been input. If it is determined that this is the case, the process returns to step 5206.

In step 5216, the above steps 5202 to 214
In order to select a pachinko game machine to which the lucky number set is to be applied, the display device 82 displays a work menu for inputting and displaying the machine number. For example, as shown in FIG. 6(b), this display is performed so that 60 pachinko machines installed along the island facilities of the three islands are displayed with machine numbers assigned to each machine on the screen of the display device 82. be exposed.

Next, in step 5218, it is determined whether or not "set" has been input using the set key 85 of the keyboard 81 of the central management device 8. When it is determined that "set" has been input, the process moves to step 5220, and when "set" has been input, it is determined whether or not "set" has been input. If it is determined that there is no such information, the process moves to step 5222.

At the step 5218 above, the determination result is +
1 y When using eSI+, you end up setting the same lucky number for all machines at once, while I
When f NOI+, the process shifts to setting a different lucky number for each machine.

In step 5222, the keyboard 81 of the central management device 8
It is determined whether or not the digits of the machine number have been inputted using the keyboard 86, and when it is determined that digits have been inputted, the inputted digits are displayed on the display device 82 in step 5224, and if no digits have been inputted. If it is determined that
It is determined whether "/", which is input when confirming the input contents of the machine number, has been input using the numeric keypad 86, and if it is determined that "/" has been input, the process moves to step 5228. On the other hand, if it is determined that "/" has not been input, the process returns to step 5222.

In step 5228, the above steps 5222 to 226

In step 5314, steps 5300 to S3
] In order to select the pachinko game machine 2 to which the lucky number set in step 2 is to be applied in high units, the display device 8 displays a work menu for inputting and displaying high units. This display is performed, for example, by assigning consecutive numbers (island numbers) to the five island facilities as shown in FIG. 7(b).

Next, to explain the routine for setting a different lucky number for each high unit, in step 5316, the "Cera 1" key 85 of the keyboard 81 of the central management device 8 is pressed.
If it is determined that "1 set" has been input manually, the process moves to step 5326 and "1 set" has been input manually.
If it is determined that "set" has not been input (-), the process moves to step 5318.

In step 5318, the keyboard 8 of the central management device 8]
It is determined whether or not the digits of the island number have been entered manually using the numeric keypad 86, and when it is determined that the digits have been entered, the manually entered digits are displayed on the display device 82i by the snap 5320, and it is determined that no digits have been entered. If so, skip to step 5322.

In step 8322, the keyboard 81 of the central management device 8
It is determined whether "/", which is input when the island number is confirmed on the display device 82 using the numeric keypad 86, has been input. If it is determined that "/" has been input, the process moves to step 5324. However, if it is determined that "/J" has not been input, the process returns to step 5318.

In step 5324, the above steps 5318 to 532
The island number designated by 0 is displayed on the display device 82. As an example of the display, as shown in FIG. 7(c), a designated island on the screen is lit up.

After the island number with the lucky number set is displayed on the display device in step 5324, the process returns to step 8316, and it is determined whether or not the set switch 85 is turned on. If it is determined that the set switch 85 is not turned on, step 531
Return to step 8, and if it is determined that it is turned on, go to step 8
326.

In step s:326, it is determined whether or not the setting of lucky numbers has been completed for all pachinko gaming machines, and when it is determined that the setting has not been completed, the process returns to step 5302 in order to specify a different island for a different lucky number.
When it is determined that the process has ended, step S28 shown in FIG.
Shift to the lucky number transmission process.

FIG. 8 shows a detailed control processing procedure for the lucky number all-machine setting process carried out in step S24 of FIG. 5, that is, when lucky numbers are set for all pachinko gaming machines at once.

Unlike the dowel setting and high unit setting mentioned above, this control processing procedure does not require the identification of pachinko machines or islands, so only the routine for setting lucky numbers to all machines is shown. .

All unit setting processing is performed using the keyboard 81 in the central management device 8.
The selection key rcJ is turned on to select setting the lucky number for all machines, and it is selected in step S1 of FIG.
It is started when it is determined to be rcJ by 8.

In step 5412, it is determined whether or not "set" has been input using the set key 85 on the keyboard of the central management device 8. If it is determined that "set" has not been input, the process returns to step 5404, and it is determined that r set J has been input. If so, the process moves to lucky number transmission processing in step S28 shown in FIG.

According to the lucky number setting processing procedure shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, the lucky number setting means 88 provided in the central management device 8 performs the lucky number setting means 88 for each pachinko machine, for each high unit or for each high unit. Different lucky numbers can be quickly set for all machines at once.

Next, FIGS. 9(a) to 9(c) show the processing procedure of display control by the information display control device 3 when a game is started under the lucky number set by the above processing.

This display control processing procedure mainly includes a display processing procedure carried out in the normal gaming state, a display processing procedure carried out in the auxiliary gaming state (variable display game state), a display processing procedure carried out in the jackpot gaming state, There is a display processing procedure that is carried out in the lucky number gaming state, followed by a game restart processing and a pachinko game machine management processing.

Here, the display processing procedure in the normal game state is when the prize ball is supplied when the batted ball enters the general winning hole, or when the hit ball is collected from the out ball collection hole without entering any of the winning holes. This refers to the display processing in the normal game state (from step 5502 to step 5526) when the ball is in the starting slot, and the display processing procedure in the auxiliary game state (variable display game state) is started when the ball enters the starting hole. Refers to the display processing procedure (steps 5524 and 5528) in the auxiliary game state (variable display game state) in which the display of the variable display device changes each time a prize is won or based on the memory of the prize.
What is the display processing procedure in the jackpot game state? When the display after the change of the variable display device becomes a jackpot, for example, a double eye (2,
2,2) Display processing procedure in gaming state performed when i is defeated (from step 5530 to step 5560)
The display processing procedure in the lucky number gaming state is a gaming state in which the display after the change on the variable display device (for example, 7,7°7) matches the display of the lucky number (for example, 7,7°7). This refers to the display processing procedure (from step 8562 to step 5590).

Normal gaming state display processing procedure> The display processing procedure in the normal gaming state is the processing for adjusting the display of the information display control bag @3 (step 5502 to step S5).
0, 1), a process for determining whether or not the game can be started (from step 5506 to step 5512), and a process for determining whether or not the game is in a jackpot game state or a lucky number game state (steps 5514 to 5520). ), and a process of determining whether to shift to the special game state during the game in the auxiliary game state (step 552
2) and a process (step 5524) of determining whether or not to shift to the auxiliary game state during the game in the normal free branch state.

The process of adjusting the display of the information display control device 3 is performed when the lucky number signal from the lucky number setting means 88 of the central management device 8 is input to the lucky number display control means 31 of the information display control device 3. Start.

A lucky number signal is input to the lucky number display control means 31, and step S500i,-.

Step 5
In step 502, the lucky number is displayed on the lucky number display section 41 of the information display control device 3, and in step 550
Move to 4.

In this step 5504, the displays on the lucky number occurrence count display section 2 and the jackpot occurrence number display section 51 are cleared by a signal from the lucky number display control means 31 of the information display control device 3, and the process proceeds to step 5506.

Next, in steps 5506 to 5512, a process is performed to determine whether or not the game can be started, and in step 8506, as will be described later, it is determined whether or not the firing stop flag of the firing device is set to 1''. As a result, if it is determined that the firing stop flag is set to "1", the process moves to step 5592, and if it is determined that it is not set, the process moves to step 5508.However, initially, the firing stop flag is set to "1". Since it is 'O''', the process definitely moves to step 508.

In step 5508, it is determined whether or not the metal frame 29 of the pachinko gaming machine 2 is open. When it is determined that it is open, the process moves to step 5598, and when it is determined that it is closed, the process moves to step S510i, 3. do.

In step S510, it is determined whether or not the front frame 28 is open. When it is determined that it is open (,), the process moves to step 3598, and when it is determined that it is closed, the process moves to step 5512.

In step 5512, a termination signal is sent from the central management device 8 to the firing control means of the information display control device 3; If it is determined that this has not been done, the process moves to step 3514.

From step 5514 to step 351.6, a process is performed to determine whether or not there is a lucky number jackpot gaming state.

In slap 5514, it is determined whether or not a lucky number flag, which will be described later, is set to ``1''. If it is determined that it is set, the process moves to step 3568i, and if it is determined that it is not set, step 5516
to move to.

In step 8516, it is determined whether or not the lucky number end flag, which will be described later, is set to 111 II. If so, the process moves to step 5518.

From step 3518 to step 5520, processing is performed to determine whether or not the player is in a per-person gaming state.

In step 8518, the per-person refrag, which will be described later, is
It is determined whether or not it is set. If it is determined that it is set, the process moves to step 8536, and if it is determined that it is not set, the process moves to step 5520.

In step 5520, the jackpot end flag, which will be described later, is set to 1.
It is determined whether or not it is set. If it is determined that it is set, the process moves to step 5552, and if it is determined that it is not set, the process moves to step 5522.

Step 5522 is a “jackpot” as a result of the auxiliary game.
Since this is a step of determining whether or not the occurrence of the error occurs, during the normal game, the determination in step 5522 is negative and the process directly proceeds to step 5524.

In step 5524, a detection signal is input from the auxiliary game state (variable display game state) detection means 21 of the pachinko gaming machine 2 to the message control means 32 of the information display control device 3, and the auxiliary game state is entered during play in the normal game state. A process is performed to determine whether or not the transition is to be made, and when it is determined that the auxiliary gaming state has been transitioned, the process proceeds to step 5528, and when it is determined that the transition has not been made, the process proceeds to step 5526, and the information display control device 3 The message display unit 42 displays that the game is in the normal gaming state, and the process returns to step 5506 to complete one loop of the normal gaming state display processing routine.

Unless a batted ball enters the starting hole during the game and enters the auxiliary game state, the display process in the normal game state is repeatedly executed, and the message display section 42 of the information display control device 3 displays a message indicating that the normal game state is in progress. will be done.

Auxiliary game state display processing procedure> Display control processing in the auxiliary game state is performed when a ball hits the starting hole in the normal game state, a detection signal is output from the auxiliary game state detection means 21 of the pachinko game machine, and this signal is output. is input to the message control means 32 of the information display control device 3. Then, in step 5524, it is determined that the game is in the auxiliary game state, and in step 5528, the message display section 42 of the information display control device 3 displays the fact that the game is in the auxiliary game state, and joins the loop of the normal game state.

Normal jackpot game state display processing procedure〉The display control process when transitioning to the normal jackpot game state while playing in the auxiliary game state is such that the display after the variable display device changes is a jackpot (for example, 2 or 2, 2°2), the jackpot signal output from the pachinko game machine is input to the lucky number display control means 31 of the information display control device 3, and the lucky number display control means 31 determines that it is a jackpot in step 5522.
