Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gaming machine including a pachinko machine and the like, and more particularly to a gaming machine which is in a "big hit" state advantageous to a player when a predetermined condition is achieved.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional game machine, when the power of the game machine is ON, various information about the game status and the game is displayed.
It is temporarily stored and held in each control device in the gaming machine.

[0003]

However, in the above conventional gaming machine, when the power of the gaming machine is turned off, various information temporarily stored and held in the gaming machine when the power is turned on disappears. It is configured and power is turned off again.
When set to N, the game could not be restarted from the game state before the power was turned off. Therefore, if a power failure occurs during a big hit or during a period when the probability of fluctuation is high, the control information controlling the game state that is advantageous to the player disappears and the game state that is advantageous to the player disappears. There was a case where it ended up. Also, when a power failure occurs during variable operation of the variable display device, the number of starting memories and the extracted random number value disappear, so even if the jackpot random number value is extracted, it becomes invalid, which is extremely disadvantageous to the player. Sometimes it was. And even if a lucky number jackpot (a jackpot in which the probability of the next jackpot being generated after the jackpot is higher than usual) occurs just before the pachinko hall is closed, the game must be ended if the pachinko hall closing time comes. In addition, there was a problem that the privilege could not be effectively enjoyed. The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and provides a gaming machine that stores a game state when the power is turned off and can resume the game from the game state before the power was turned off when the power is turned on. The purpose is to do.

[0004]

In order to solve the above problems, a gaming machine according to the present invention is a gaming machine that can be converted into a specific gaming state that is advantageous to a player when a predetermined condition is satisfied. Power supply state detecting means for detecting a supply state of power supplied to the machine and outputting a power supply state detection signal, and detecting a decrease in the power supply voltage based on the power supply state detection signal and outputting a power supply voltage decrease signal Power outage detection means, and a game state memory holding means for storing and holding game state information which is information regarding a game state at that time in the gaming machine when the power supply voltage drop signal is output,
It is configured with.

[0005]

According to the present invention having the above-mentioned configuration, even if a power failure occurs during a big hit or probability fluctuation, the game status information, which is information about the game status before the power failure, is stored and retained, so that the game status before the power failure is resumed after the power is resumed. It becomes possible to restart the game. Also, since the probability setting value can be stored and held, it is not necessary to set the probability setting value every time when the power is turned on when the game shop is opened. And, since the storage timing of storing the information can be changed according to the type of information to be stored, it is not necessary to store all the information at once, and the storage can be completed in a short time. It became possible to perform reliable memory processing even in such an instant.

Next, a more detailed mechanism and operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 11.

The player inserts the ball lending card into the card insertion hole 12
When inserted into the card reader 26 from the ball lending control CPU (not shown) in the ball lending controller 22 of the pachinko gaming machine,
Whether or not the card is a fraudulent card or an abnormal card (other types of prepaid cards, etc.), whether or not the balance of the card is zero, etc. are immediately determined. If the result of the judgment is an illegal card or a card with no balance, the card is forcibly ejected,
This information is transferred to the game control CPU in the game board control device 17 by a two-way communication line (not shown), and the player is informed that "this card cannot be used" or "the card has no frequency balance". For example, while the LED or the speaker 38 is used for notification, in the case of a fraudulent card, the management device of the game store is also notified. In this case, the ball lending validity indicator 16 remains off, and even if the ball lending switch 14 is operated, it is not accepted.

If the card is normal and there is a balance,
The ball lending control CPU displays the balance on the card balance display 13. When the operation of the ball lending switch 14 is enabled (ball lending is possible), the ball lending control device 2
A signal is sent from 2 to the ball lending valid indicator 16 to turn it on to notify the player or the like that "ball lending is possible". Also,
The card holding indicator 23 indicates that the card is being inserted.

Next, when the player operates the ball lending switch 14 (e.g., pressing it once), the ball lending control device 2 receives it.
If the balance of the valuable value is not zero, the ball lending control CPU in 2 converts a predetermined amount of the valuable value into the number of game media (for example, pachinko balls) used by the gaming machine according to the operation content, A discharge command signal indicating that the number of real balls should be discharged is sent to the discharge control device 18 via the two-way communication line. The discharge control device 18 receives the discharge command signal and discharges the number of balls to the upper plate 9. At this time, the ball lending control CPU described above
At the same time, the valuable value converted into the game medium is subtracted from the stored value of the card.

The player operates the firing device 11 with the operation handle 1
By controlling with 0 (or a touch switch (not shown)), the discharged (ball loan) ball is driven into the game section 2A to play a game. In this game, when the hit ball passes through the normal symbol gate 27, the game control CPU in the game board control device 17 detects this,
Normally, the right to perform variable display of the symbol display 29 (general figure starting memory) occurs, and this game control CPU starts the variable display of the normal symbol display 29 and stops it after a predetermined time. As a result, if the stop display mode has a predetermined condition, the above-mentioned game control CPU discriminates this and the blade 7a,
Open 7b.

Next, when the hit ball hits the starting opening 7H of the ordinary electric accessory 7, the game control CPU in the game board control device 17 detects this and the variable display device 6 is allowed to perform variable display. (Starting memory) occurs, this game control CPU
Starts variable display of the three indicators and stops them after a predetermined time. As a result, if the stop display mode has a predetermined condition, the above-mentioned game control CPU discriminates this and a so-called "big hit" state occurs, and the variable winning device 8
The special winning opening is opened for a predetermined time and a predetermined number of times. Further, in the case where the stop display mode is a more special symbol among the above jackpot symbols, a so-called "lucky number jackpot" is set so that the jackpot state is likely to occur again in the gaming state after the jackpot state is finished. The probability of occurrence of a hit symbol in the stop display mode of the above-mentioned ordinary symbol or special symbol is increased to a high probability. The jackpot state and the game state of this lucky number correspond to the specific game state. In the above lucky number game, it is indicated that the probability is changing by adding a predetermined value to the probability up counter provided in the gaming machine.

The above operation will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG. 4 and the flow charts of FIGS. FIG. 5 shows a basic flowchart of the gaming machine of this embodiment. The above game control CPU (C for character products)
(PU) first determines whether or not it is time to turn on the power, such as when a game store is opened (step S1). If it is not when the power is turned on, it is next determined whether or not there is an interrupt signal (step S2). If there is no interrupt signal in step S2, the process proceeds to step S4. If there is an interrupt signal, the backup process subroutine (step S3) is executed next and the process proceeds to step S4.

The interrupt signal is a signal output from the power failure detection circuit 37 in FIG. 4 to the accessory CPU, and corresponds to a power supply voltage drop signal. The power failure detection circuit 37 corresponds to a power failure detection means. In this power failure detection circuit 37,
The power supply circuit 36 is connected and detects the supply state of the external power supply supplied to the gaming machine and outputs a power supply state detection signal to the power failure detection circuit 37. In this case, the power supply circuit 36 corresponds to the power supply state detecting means. The power failure detection circuit 37 which has received the power supply state detection signal detects a decrease in the power supply voltage based on the power supply state detection signal and outputs an interrupt signal which is a power supply voltage decrease signal.

When the above-mentioned interrupt signal is output, the backup processing subroutine (step S3) instantly stores the processing number (step S21), and then the jackpot processing data, as shown in FIG. (Step S22), then probability fluctuation data is stored (step S23), random number processed data is stored (step S24), and fluctuation processed data is stored (step S22).
25) and then stores the management data (step S2
6) Then, the base value is stored (step S27).

In the above description, the process number is a branch process number which will be described later. Further, the jackpot processing data is a jackpot symbol, a V flag, a winning ball count, a continuation count, and the like. Stochastic fluctuation data refers to the value of an up counter of a normal symbol, the value of an up counter of a special symbol, or the like. The random number processed data is a random number updated value. Fluctuation processing data, the number of starting memory of special symbols and normal symbols,
It is an extracted random number value or the like. In addition, the management data refers to values that become data for a game store, such as the number of times of starting and the number of big hits. The base value refers to the ratio of the number of prize balls to the shot ball 100, and is a value that is a sales index on the side of the amusement store. These data are stored in order of importance.

Although these various data are stored in the RAM 32 in FIG. 4 when the power of the game machine is ON, the data in FIG. It is stored in the EEPROM 33. An EEPROM is a programmable ROM that is electrically writable and erasable. It can be rewritten each time the above interrupt signal is output, information can be stored and held, and the power supply is turned on even when the power supply is turned off. When it is turned on again, the stored information can be read. This EEPROM 33 is
It corresponds to a game state memory holding means.

When the above-mentioned backup processing subroutine 3 is completed, the process proceeds to step S4, and it is determined whether or not there is a reset signal. If there is no reset signal, the process proceeds to step S7, but if there is a reset signal, step S7
Go to 5. In step S5, the above-mentioned EEPROM
The backup data in 33 is cleared, and then the data in the RAM 32 is also cleared in step S6. In this case, by operating the reset switch 50 (or reset signal), for example, it is possible to erase the backup right of the lucky number game as necessary.

Next, in step S7, a switch input processing subroutine is executed. That is, as shown in FIG. 7 (A), first, it is determined whether or not there is a winning in the starting winning opening 7H of the ordinary electric accessory 7 which is the starting winning opening in FIG. 2 (step S31). If there is no start winning, the processing of this cycle is ended. If there is a start winning, it is determined in step S32 whether or not the start memory has reached the storable upper limit value (4 in the case of the present embodiment). judge. If the start memory has reached the storable upper limit value (4 in this embodiment), the processing of this cycle is ended, but the start memory must reach the storable upper limit value (4 in this embodiment). For example, in the next step S33, the starting memory number is set to "1".
Only, and the random number is extracted (step S3
4) The processing of this cycle ends.

Next, in the flow chart of FIG. 5, in step S8, the normal processing by the above processing number,
Any one of the variable process, the big hit process, and the out-of-range process is branched to perform the process.

In the ordinary processing, as shown in FIG.
First, the presence / absence of a start memory is determined (step S41), and if there is no start memory, the processing of this cycle is ended. However, if there is a start memory, the start memory value is decremented by "1" in the next step S42. . Next, step S4
At 3, it is determined whether the value of the probability up counter is zero. If the value of the probability up counter is zero, it is a normal hit value (step S44), but if the value of the probability up counter is not zero, it is a hit value with a higher probability than usual (step S45). . This probability up counter sets a value such as "1" or "2" according to the symbol or the like in the case of the above lucky number, and when one game period until the jackpot state ends, "1" is set. Is decremented one by one. If the current value of the probability up counter is zero, the probability is returned to the normal value after the jackpot is over.

Next, in step S46, it is determined whether or not the random number value is a winning value. If the random number is not a hit value,
Although a deviating symbol is selected (step S47), if the random number value is a winning value, a winning symbol is selected (step S4).
8). Next, the processing number is changed to "variable processing", and the processing of this cycle ends.

In the fluctuation process, as shown in FIG. 8, it is first judged whether or not it is the fluctuation stop timing (step S5).
1), if it is not the fluctuation stop timing, it is determined whether or not it is the symbol fluctuation timing (step S52), and if it is not the symbol fluctuation timing, the processing of this cycle is ended. Step S
At 53, a symbol variation process is executed.

Judgment step S51 for the next and subsequent cycles
If it is determined that it is the fluctuation stop timing, the total number of fluctuations is incremented by "1" in step S54, and then the fluctuation is stopped (step S55).

Then, it is determined whether or not the stopped symbol is a jackpot symbol (step S56), and if it is not a jackpot symbol, a removal process is performed (step S57) and a normal process is executed (step S58).

On the other hand, if it is a big hit symbol, in the next step S59, it is determined whether or not the value of the probability up counter of the special symbol is zero. If the value of the special symbol probability up counter is zero, the process proceeds to step S61. However, if the special figure probability up counter value is not zero, the special figure probability up counter value is decremented by "1" in the next step S60.

Next, in step S61, it is judged whether or not the value of the probability up counter of the ordinary symbol is zero, and if the figure probability up counter value is zero, the process proceeds to step S63, but the figure probability up. If the counter value is not zero, the universal figure probability up counter value is decremented by "1" in the next step S62.

Next, it is determined whether or not the special jackpot design is a special design lucky number design (step S6).
3) If the big hit symbol is not the special figure lucky number symbol, the process proceeds to step S65. If the big hit symbol is the special symbol lucky number symbol, the special symbol probability up counter is set in step S64. Further, next, it is determined whether or not the special design jackpot design is a universal figure lucky number design (step S65), and if the jackpot design is not a universal figure lucky number design, the process moves to step S67, but the jackpot design is a universal design. If it is a lucky number symbol, the universal symbol probability up counter is set in step S66.

Next, the jackpot total counter is incremented by "1" (step S67), the processing is changed to jackpot processing (step S68), and the processing of this cycle ends.

In the jackpot process, as shown in FIG. 9, first, it is determined whether or not there is a winning at a V winning opening (not shown) in the variable winning device 8 (step S71). If there is no V winning, a step is performed. Although the process proceeds to S74, if there is a V winning, it is determined in the next step S72 whether or not the time is the final time. If it is the last round, step S74
However, if it is not the final round, the V winning flag is set (step S73).

In step S74, it is determined whether or not there is a count prize (the maximum count value is up to 10). Then, next, one cycle end condition (for example, 3
It is determined whether or not 0 seconds has elapsed, or the count winning value has reached 10, etc. (step S76).

As a result, if the one-cycle end condition is not satisfied, the process is ended. However, if it is determined in the subsequent step S76 that the one-cycle end condition is satisfied, then the count number is increased. Is cleared (step S7
7).

Next, it is determined whether or not the V winning flag is present (step S78). If the V winning flag is not present, it is determined whether the probability up counter value of the special figure or the general figure is zero (step S79). , If the probability upcounter value of the special map or the general map is zero, the process proceeds to the normal process (step S
81), if the probability upcounter value of the special drawing or general drawing is not zero, increase the probability of the special drawing or general drawing (step S).
80), and shifts to normal processing (step S81).

On the other hand, if it is determined in the subsequent step S78 that the V winning flag is present, the V winning flag is cleared (step S82), and the continuation count value is incremented by "1" (step S83). ,
The jackpot process of the next cycle is executed (step S
84).

After the branch processing of FIG. 5 is completed,
In step S13, the universal figure / general electric power processing is executed, and then the base processing subroutine (step S14) is executed. In the base processing subroutine, as shown in FIG. 10, the number of shots of pachinko balls is monitored (step S91),
Next, the number of winnings is monitored (step S92). Then, it is determined whether or not the probability of the ordinary symbol is changing (step S93), and if the probability of the ordinary symbol is changing, the process of this time is ended, but if the probability of the ordinary symbol is not changing. Then, it is determined whether or not a big hit is in progress (step S94).

As a result, if this is a big hit, the processing of this time is ended, but if it is not a big hit, it is then determined whether or not the base value is lower than the set value (step S95). Then, as a result, if the base value is lower than the set value, the probability of hitting the normal symbol is set to be higher than usual (step S96). If the base value is equal to or higher than the set value, the normal symbol hit probability is set to the normal probability (step S97).

Then, as shown in FIG. 5, after the base processing subroutine (step S14) is executed, a random number updating subroutine (step S15) is executed. In the random number update subroutine, as shown in FIG. 11, first, the random number of the special symbol is updated (step S101). Next, a random number upper limit value for the set probability value is selected (step S102). Next, it is determined whether or not the update result of the random number has reached the upper limit value (step S104). If the upper limit value has not been reached, the process proceeds to step S105. To zero (step S10
4) and shifts to step S105. Step S105
Then, the random number of the normal symbol is updated, and the random number upper limit value for the set probability value is selected (step S106). Next, it is determined whether or not the update result of the random number has reached the upper limit value (step S107). If the upper limit value has not been reached, the processing of this time is ended. The random number is set to zero (step S108), and the process of this time is ended.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1 of FIG. 5 that the power is on, the process proceeds to step S16 to restore the backup data stored / held in the EEPROM 33. Then, next, it is determined whether or not the probability setting value is changed by the operation of the probability setting device 20 (step S17). If the probability setting value is changed, the probability setting value is backed up (stored / held) at that time (step S18).

That is, in this gaming machine, the storage timing of the above game state information and the storage timing of the above probability setting value (change value) are different from each other. This is because it is possible to complete the storage in a short time by configuring not to store all the information at once.

After ending the game on the pachinko gaming machine after playing the game as described above, the player operates the card return switch 24 in FIG. The card is ejected from the card insertion hole 12 according to the ejection operation command from the card return switch 24. At this time, the card holding indicator 23 blinks or the like to notify the ejection of the card.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. The above-mentioned embodiment is an exemplification, has substantially the same configuration as the technical idea described in the scope of the claims of the present invention, and has any similar effect to the present invention. It is included in the technical scope of the invention.

[0049]

As described above, according to the present invention having the above configuration, even if a power failure occurs during a big hit or probability fluctuation, the game status information, which is information about the game status before the power failure, is stored and held. There is an advantage that it is possible to restart the game in the game state before the power failure after the power supply is restarted. Also, since the probability setting value can be stored and held, it is not necessary to set the probability setting value every time when the power is turned on when the game shop is opened. And, since the storage timing of storing the information can be changed according to the type of information to be stored, it is not necessary to store all the information at once, and the storage can be completed in a short time. It became possible to perform reliable memory processing even in such an instant.
