[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a slot machine and a gaming machine of the slot machine, and more specifically, when replacing the slot machine, it is possible to replace not only the entire slot machine but only the gaming machine including a rotating reel. It's about the machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, slot machines have been widely used. In such a conventional slot machine, a housing and a front door are formed, a reel device, a board, and the like are fixed inside the housing, and various operation switches and the like are provided on the front door.

Further, when the slot machine is replaced, the housing and the front door are replaced with a new slot machine while being integrated. Also, as a game, after inserting a predetermined number of medals, the start signal is input by turning on the start switch, each reel in the reel device starts rotating, while extracting a value such as a number from the counter,
Evaluate whether the number is within the winning range. Then, depending on the stop signal output when the stop switch is turned on after that, like winning or losing,
Each reel is stopped so as to respect the obtained evaluation. Then, when stopped, when a predetermined pattern is in a predetermined arrangement, it is determined that a prize is won and a predetermined number of medals are paid out.

Here, the overall structure will be further described. Inside the casing, a medal-related device, a reel device, a substrate, etc. are arranged. In addition, the front door is provided with an operation section provided with an upper display section, a reel visible section, an operation switch and a medal slot, a lower display section, and a medal tray in order from the top to the bottom on the front side. To the medal selector,
A speaker and various lighting devices are attached.

Here, as the medal-related device inside the casing, there is a hopper, an auxiliary tank, and a hopper control board for controlling the operation of the hopper. Here, the hopper is formed so as to store the medals inserted for starting the game, and to pay out the medals to the medal receiver by the payout signal via the hopper control board. Further, the auxiliary tank stores the overflowed medals when the hopper overflows with medals.

The reel device includes a plurality of rotating reels,
It is formed of a reel control board for controlling the rotation of each rotating reel. Each rotating reel is formed of a reel and a motor for rotating and stopping the reel. Further, this reel is attached with a picture plate having a picture on its periphery, and a start index is formed on a part of the reel. Then, after the rotation is started by the motor, the current position is specified by recognizing the rotation angle after the start index is detected, and then stopped at a predetermined angle, thereby performing stop control. . Among such reel devices, the pattern board is different for each slot machine.

The substrate is usually formed of a main substrate, a sub substrate and other substrates. Here, the main board controls the entire slot machine and the game, and the sub board controls the effect. Other substrates include, for example, a power supply substrate and the above-mentioned hopper control substrate. Here, if the programs stored on the main board or the sub-board are divided into their roles, there are programs that do not need to be changed even if the model of the slot machine changes, and programs unique to each model of the slot machine. . As a unique program for each model of this slot machine, for example, any one of array data of the pattern provided on the above-mentioned pattern board, a number table storing the number of paid-out medals corresponding to the winning pattern, and an extracted random number is selected. There is a winning table for determining whether or not it corresponds to the winning, and stop data that stores at which position (rotation angle) the reel is stopped after the stop switch is pressed. Further, it is desirable that the effect data that stores various effects be exchanged. Further, as a program that does not need to be changed even if the model of the slot machine is changed, there is a program that stores the medal control means, a program for a power supply board, or the like. However, there are cases where it is not always necessary to consider that all of the above-mentioned data or tables are unique programs, such as models in which only the patterns are different.

Further, the medal tray of the front door is for storing the medals paid out from the hopper. The operation switch includes a start switch for starting the rotation of the reel device, a stop switch provided for each reel to individually stop each reel, and an insertion for inserting a credited medal. A switch and the like are provided.

A transparent window is provided in the visible portion of the reel. This light-transmitting window is provided corresponding to the reel so that a player can see a predetermined number of patterns among the patterns provided on the pattern board of the reel device described above. The medal insertion slot is for inserting a medal for starting a game. Also, the medal inserted into this slot is judged to be authentic by the medal selector on the back side of the front door. Therefore, when it is determined that the medal is correct, an insertion signal is sent to the substrate, and then the medal is sent to the hopper provided in the housing.

The various display units display the game name, game method, game state, etc., and include lamps,
It is formed by a liquid crystal, a display reel, and the like. In addition, such various display units are illuminated by various kinds of illumination devices on the back side of the front door, if necessary. With respect to the slot machine configured as described above, an invention has been made in which the slot machine is configured to be dividable and only part of the slot machine is replaced.

For example, according to the invention disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-37984, a middle frame is attached between the housing and the front door so as to be openable and closable, and a reel device is attached to the middle frame, whereby only the reel device is replaced. What has made it possible is disclosed. Further, the invention described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-23134 discloses a reel device which is detachably attached to the front door so that only the reel device can be replaced.

Further, in the invention described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-52525 filed by the same applicant, the front door is divided into upper and lower parts, and the reel device and the main board are fixed to the upper front door, whereby the reel device.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]
There was a concern that not only the parts that really needed to be replaced were insufficiently examined, but also the efficiency of replacement was not considered. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that is a member that really needs to be replaced, and to provide a slot machine and a gaming machine for a slot machine that also improve the efficiency of replacement. .

[0014]

In order to achieve the object mentioned above, the present invention consists of the following claims. [Claim 1] While each reel in the reel device starts rotating in response to the start signal, a value is acquired, and in response to the value, each reel is stopped in accordance with a subsequent stop signal, It is a slot machine that determines a prize when a predetermined pattern is in a predetermined arrangement when stopped and pays out a predetermined number of medals, and at least stores the number of medals paid out corresponding to the prize pattern. A slot machine characterized in that a program storing stop data storing at which position to stop the reel in correspondence with the timing of the stop signal according to the number table and the acquired value is formed so as to be exchangeable. .

[Claim 2] While each reel in the reel device starts rotating in response to the start signal, a value is acquired, and in response to the value, each reel is turned on in response to a subsequent stop signal. It is a slot machine that, when stopped, determines a winning when a predetermined pattern is in a predetermined arrangement and pays out a predetermined number of medals, at least a predetermined number for fixing to each reel. Corresponding to the timing of the stop signal according to the acquired value, the pattern board with the pattern, the array data of the pattern provided on the pattern board, the number table storing the number of paid-out medals corresponding to the winning pattern A slot machine characterized in that a program storing stop data storing at which position to stop the reel is formed so as to be exchangeable.

The "start signal" is a signal output by turning on a start switch, which is a kind of "operation switch" for starting the rotation of the reel. However,
It is also possible to automatically output the start signal without using the start switch. Further, the "operation switch" includes, for example, the start switch for starting the rotation of the reel, a stop switch for stopping the rotation of the reel, a bet switch for inserting a previously stored medal, and a pre-storage. An example is a settlement switch for paying out the medals.

The term "value" refers to something that can be individually distinguished, such as numbers, symbols, and alphabets. The “obtaining a value” is performed, for example, in order to obtain one number and perform stop control of each reel according to the number. Here, the number can be obtained from the hard counter as described in claim 10.

The hard counter is considered to be a counter which repeats a certain range of numbers, for example, the range of 16384, and adds one million times per second. Further, although this counter may be a hard counter, a soft counter may be used as described in claim 11. The soft counter here can be formed so as to be incremented by one, or can be incremented by a fixed prime number.

The numbers obtained from either counter are
Because of incrementing in a very short time or incrementing a prime number, when the obtained number is evaluated as described in claim 12, it looks as if a random number was obtained. "Stop each reel according to the stop signal" means, for example, that the symbols that have not won are not arranged in a predetermined manner according to the timing when the stop switch is pressed, and that the symbols that have won are arranged in a predetermined arrangement as much as possible. To stop it. Such control is performed in order to control the slot machine so that the ratio of the number of inserted medals to the number of paid-out medals matches the preset ratio as much as possible. Here, it is also possible to automatically output the stop signal without using the stop switch.

The "picture" refers to characters, numbers, symbols, figures, etc., and is drawn in large numbers on the picture board along the longitudinal direction thereof. The "predetermined sequence" means, for example, that the preset patterns are set in the horizontal direction, or that the preset symbols are set in the diagonal direction, but also the preset symbols are set in the four corners, for example. As if the set number of patterns can be seen a predetermined number,
It can be decided in advance.

The "pattern data" means that, for example, 21 patterns are drawn on one reel. At that time, it is data that stores what kind of patterns are provided at 21 pattern positions sequentially from the reference pattern position. In the first place, the designs are different for each slot machine, and even if the same design is used, the arrangement of the designs is different for each model of slot machine. Therefore, this "pattern arrangement data" is generally different for each slot machine.

The "number table" is data in which the number of paid-out medals corresponding to the winning pattern is stored. As described above, different slot machines have different patterns, and even if the same pattern is used, it is common to have different game characteristics. In such a case, how many medals are paid out when which pattern is in a predetermined arrangement differs depending on each slot machine. Therefore, it is general that this "number table" is different for each slot machine.

"Stop data" means, according to the acquired number,
It is data that stores at which position the reel should be stopped after the stop switch is pressed. The slot machine is controlled so that the ratio of the number of inserted medals to the number of paid-out medals matches the preset ratio as much as possible. For that purpose, while forming so that the numbers can be acquired so as to match the set ratio, the non-winning patterns are not arranged in a predetermined manner, and the winning patterns are arranged in a predetermined arrangement as much as possible. To be stopped. Therefore, in order to prevent the non-winning patterns from being arranged in a predetermined manner and to stop the winning patterns to be in a predetermined arrangement as much as possible, the stop position is set according to the timing when the stop switch is pressed. It has been decided.

"The program is formed so as to be exchangeable" means not only that the ROM or the CPU in which the program is recorded is formed so as to be directly exchanged, but the ROM or C
It is also possible to replaceably form the substrate incorporating the PU. Further, such a ROM or CPU can be fixed to another exchange member, for example, a reel device or the like incorporating a picture board, and can be exchanged together with this reel device.

In the slot machine formed as described above, since the members or programs unique to each slot machine can be exchanged, the slot machine is much cheaper than the exchange of the entire slot machine. It has the same effect as releasing the entire machine. When formed in this way, in addition to the components that can be commonly used by many slot machines, such as the casing, medal-related device, front door, etc., the means for generating the numbers to be acquired, the power supply board, the rotation / stop of the reels. There is no need to replace members common to each slot machine, such as the means and the medal control means.

[Claim 3] While each reel in the reel device starts rotating in response to the start signal, a value is acquired, it is evaluated whether or not the value is within the winning range, and thereafter, Along with the stop signal, each reel is stopped so as to respect the obtained evaluation, and when it stops, it is judged as a winning when the predetermined pattern is in a predetermined arrangement and pays a predetermined number of medals. It is a slot machine to issue, at least a number table storing the number of medals paid out corresponding to the winning pattern, and a winning table for judging whether the obtained value corresponds to any winning can be exchanged A slot machine characterized by being formed.

[Claim 4] While each reel in the reel device starts rotating in response to the start signal, a value is acquired, it is evaluated whether or not the value is within the winning range, and thereafter, Along with the stop signal, each reel is stopped so as to respect the obtained evaluation, and when it stops, it is judged as a winning when the predetermined pattern is in a predetermined arrangement and pays a predetermined number of medals. It is a slot machine to issue, at least a number table storing the number of paid-out medals corresponding to the winning pattern, and stop data storing at which position the reel is stopped corresponding to the timing of the stop signal. A slot machine characterized in that the formed programs are formed so as to be exchangeable.

[Claim 5] While each reel in the reel device starts rotating in response to the start signal, a value is acquired, it is evaluated whether or not the value is within the winning range, and thereafter, Along with the stop signal, each reel is stopped so as to respect the obtained evaluation, and when it stops, it is judged as a winning when the predetermined pattern is in a predetermined arrangement and pays a predetermined number of medals. A slot machine for issuing, at least a pattern board provided with a predetermined pattern for fixing to each reel, array data of the pattern provided on the pattern board, and the number of medals to be paid out corresponding to the winning pattern are stored. The table of the number of coins, the winning table for determining whether the acquired value corresponds to one of the winnings, and the position at which the reel is stopped in accordance with the timing of the stop signal. A slot machine characterized in that a program storing stop data storing therein is formed so as to be exchangeable.

Here, "evaluating whether or not the value is within the winning range" means that the invention according to claim 1 or 2 determines the stop data according to the acquired number, and determines the stop data and the stop data. Although it was a stop control that determines the stop position by the switch operation timing,
In the inventions according to claims 3, 4, and 5, the number is first evaluated, and if the evaluation corresponds to a specific winning, the stop control is performed so that the winning is easily obtained. It is to evaluate. The stop control after the evaluation is to “stop each reel so as to respect the evaluation obtained”. The reason for "respect" is that the stop control is performed so that the results in line with the evaluation can be obtained as much as possible, but it may be possible that the results in line with the evaluation cannot be obtained.

The "winning table" is data that stores combinations for determining whether or not the acquired number corresponds to any winning. Here, for example, when the obtained number is in the range of 0 to n1, it is stored as a special prize that gives a privilege to the subsequent game, and when it is in the range of n1 to n2, It is stored as a prize with a large number of paid-out medals, stored as a loss when n2 or more, and the range of the acquired number is evaluated in advance using this prize table. Then, according to this evaluation, the stop control is performed.

The present invention is different from the inventions according to claims 1 and 2 only in that the obtained numbers are evaluated in advance by using a winning table, and the other points are the same. [Claim 6] The slot machine according to claim 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, wherein a program storing effect data storing various effects is formed so as to be exchangeable.

Here, the "effect data" is data that stores effects that are performed according to the state of the game on the slot machine. Here, the effect includes an effect that is simply performed to make the game gorgeous, and an effect that notifies the player of the state of the game. Here, the latter effect is performed, for example, when the acquired number is a number corresponding to a winning.

[Claim 7] The slot machine according to claim 6, wherein the effect part for executing effect data is formed so as to be replaceable. Here, the “rendering section” refers to a part that specifically performs various renderings according to the data stored in the rendering data. Here, the "rendering section" can use a reel for a rendering different from the reel used for the game, as in the invention described in claim 8, and, like the invention described in claim 9, the image.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. (First Embodiment) The first embodiment is shown in FIG. Here, a portion that does not need to be exchanged even if the game content of the slot machine is changed is the fixed unit 10, and a so-called gaming device that needs to be exchanged when the game content of the slot machine is changed is the exchange unit 50. It has been described (the definition of the fixed portion 10 or the exchange portion 50 is commonly used in the following in this embodiment).

The fixed part 10 is provided with a housing 20, a front door 30, and a program 40. Here, the housing 20 is formed in a box shape with an open front side, and various devices of the slot machine are provided on the surface of or inside the front door 30 that covers the front opening of the housing 20. It is provided. Further, a medal payout device 21 is fixed to the housing 20, and a reel device 22 other than the design board 60 is provided.
Is fixed.

Here, the "medal payout device 21 etc." means
A hopper that also functions as a medal storage unit. Further, the pattern board 60 is formed in a strip shape, and along the longitudinal direction thereof,
Letters, numbers, symbols, figures, etc. are drawn.
The reel device is formed of a frame, three motors fixed to the frame, reels fixed to the output shafts of the three motors, and a picture plate fixed to the reel. Among them, in this embodiment, the reel device 22 other than the picture board 60 is fixed to the housing.

The front door 30 is provided with an upper display section, a reel visible section, an operation section provided with operation switches, a lower display section, and a medal tray in this order from the top to the bottom on the front side. Further, on the back side, a medal selector for determining the authenticity of medals inserted from a medal insertion port, which will be described later, a lamp device for displaying each display section, which will be described later, and the like are provided.

Here, the upper display portion is a portion in which, for example, a model name of the slot machine, a correspondence table of the combination of patterns and the number of payout medals, and the like are displayed. Therefore,
If the model name of the slot machine or the like is drawn on the upper display section, it is necessary to replace the upper display section as well because the slot machine of a different model will be created as the reel device is replaced. is there. However, if there is no such display, there is no need to replace this upper display.

The reel visible portion is a portion provided with a window through which the pattern provided on the reel inside the front door can be seen. If necessary, the visible portion of the reel can be provided not only with a display portion such as a display portion for the number of medals owned within the slot machine and a display portion for the number of paid-out medals, but also around the window. As will be described later, when the effect reel is used, a window for viewing the effect reel from the outside of the front door is necessary, and an image display unit may be provided.

The operation unit is an operation switch, for example, a start switch for starting the rotation of the reel, a stop switch for stopping the rotation of the reel, a bet switch for inserting a previously stored medal, This is a part provided with a settlement switch for paying out the stored medals, a medal insertion port, and the like. The lower display part is a part where, for example, the manufacturer name, the model name of the slot machine, etc. are displayed. Therefore, if the model name of the slot machine or the like is drawn on the upper display section, the lower display section is also replaced because the slot machine of a different model will be created as the reel device is replaced. There is a need. However, if there is no such display, there is no need to replace this lower display.

The medal receiving means is a part for storing the medals paid out from the payout device. The program 40 provided in the fixed portion 10 is a program that does not need to be changed even if the model of the slot machine is changed, such as a program storing the medal control means 41 or a program for the power supply board 42.

On the other hand, the exchange section 50 has a picture board 60 and a program 70 which needs to be exchanged. Here, the program 70 that needs to be exchanged is a pattern array data 71 provided on the pattern board 60, a number table 72 that stores the number of paid-out medals corresponding to the winning pattern, and a stop switch is pressed according to the acquired number. A program that stores stop data 73 that stores at which position the reel should be stopped after that and effect data 74 that stores various effects as necessary.

Here, with the pattern array data 71, for example, 21 patterns are drawn on one reel. At this time, it is data that stores what kind of design is drawn at 21 design positions sequentially from the reference design position. In the first place, the designs are different for each slot machine, and even if the same design is used, the arrangement of the designs is different for each model of slot machine. Therefore, it is general that the array data 71 of this pattern is different for each slot machine.

The number table 72 is data that stores the number of paid-out medals corresponding to the winning pattern. As described above, different slot machines have different patterns, and even if the same pattern is used, it is common to have different game characteristics. In such a case, how many medals are paid out when which pattern is in a predetermined arrangement differs depending on each slot machine. Therefore, the number table 72 is generally different for each slot machine.

The stop data 73 corresponds to the acquired number.
It is data that stores at which position the reel should be stopped after the stop switch is pressed. The slot machine is controlled so that the ratio of the number of inserted medals to the number of paid-out medals matches the preset ratio as much as possible. For that purpose, while forming so that the numbers can be acquired so as to match the set ratio, the non-winning patterns are not arranged in a predetermined manner, and the winning patterns are arranged in a predetermined arrangement as much as possible. To be stopped. Therefore, in order to prevent the non-winning patterns from being arranged in a predetermined manner and to stop the winning patterns to be in a predetermined arrangement as much as possible, the stop position is set according to the timing when the stop switch is pressed. It has been decided.

Here, the acquisition of a numeral is to acquire one numeral and perform stop control of each reel according to the numeral. Here, the number can be obtained from the hard counter. The hard counter is considered to be a counter that adds a million times per second while repeating a certain range of numbers, for example, a range of 16384.

The counter may be a hard counter or a soft counter. The soft counter here can be formed so as to be incremented by one, or can be incremented by a fixed prime number. The numbers obtained from any of the counters are incremented in an extremely short time, or the prime numbers are incremented, so when the obtained numbers are evaluated, it looks as if a random number was obtained.

The effect data 74 is data in which the effect to be performed according to the state of the game of the slot machine is stored. Here, the effect includes an effect that is simply performed to make the game gorgeous, and an effect that notifies the player of the state of the game. Here, the latter effect is performed, for example, when the acquired number is a number corresponding to a winning.

If the effect data 74 can be commonly used by various slot machines, it can be considered that the effect data 74 need not be replaced. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a member that can be used regardless of the model of the slot machine is fixed to the housing 20 or the front door 30, and replacement is required as the model of the slot machine is different. Only the portion 50 is formed to be replaceable.

Here, the picture board 60 may be directly fixed to the reel, the program 70 may be fixed to the ROM or the CPU, the RAM or the CPU may be incorporated in the board, and the board may be formed to be replaceable. (Second Embodiment) The second embodiment is shown in FIG.

Here, the types of programs to be exchanged are different from those in the first embodiment. This is because the preprocessing for performing the stop control is different. In the first embodiment, when a number is acquired,
The stop control is directly performed according to the number. Specifically, when the number n is acquired, a stop table corresponding to the number n is acquired, and stop control is performed according to the stop table. Here, the stop table is
The table is such that when a stop button is pressed at a specific position for a certain reel, the stop position is predetermined.

In contrast to the first embodiment as described above, in the second embodiment, the acquired number is first evaluated, and the stop control is performed according to the evaluation. The evaluation of the acquired number evaluates whether or not the acquired number corresponds to any winning combination. Then, if it is evaluated that it corresponds to a specific prize, it will be stopped so that the prize can be achieved as much as possible, and if it is evaluated that there is no prize, neither prize can be achieved. is there.

Here, the winning table 75 is data storing combinations for determining whether or not the acquired number corresponds to any winning. Here, for example, when the obtained number is in the range of 0 to n1, it is stored as a special prize that gives a privilege to the subsequent game, and when it is in the range of n1 to n2,
It is stored as a prize with a large number of paid-out medals, stored as a loss when n2 or more, and the range of the acquired number is evaluated in advance by using the prize table 75. Then, according to this evaluation, the stop control is performed. (Third Embodiment) This third embodiment is shown in FIG. 3, in which an effect section 80 is added to the exchange section 50.

Here, the effect section 80 is a section for concretely performing various effects according to the data stored in the effect data 74. Here, the production unit 80 can use a production reel different from the reel used in the game, and can also use an image display unit, but it can take various display forms other than that. . The image display unit may be, for example, a liquid crystal screen or a CRT, but can be used as long as an image can be displayed.

If the above-mentioned effect section 80 is also replaced, it is possible to perform an effect unique to the slot machine which is different depending on the model. Further, here, the rendering unit 80 can be provided at any position of the upper display unit, the reel visible unit, the operation unit, or the lower display unit of the front door 30. However, considering the convenience of replacement, it is desirable that the location provided should also be replaced at the same time. For example, when the reel device is fixed to the reel visible part and the reel device is replaced together with the reel visible part, it is convenient to provide a display part on the reel visible part and replace the reel device at the same time. If the model name of the slot machine is written on the upper display part or the lower display part, it is convenient to install a display part on the upper display part or the lower display part that describes the model name of the slot machine and replace it at the same time. is there. (Fourth Embodiment) This fourth embodiment is shown in FIG.
