Description

  The present invention relates to a game hall device installed in a game hall and a game hall system including the game hall device, and in particular, when calculating game information based on a signal output from a game machine, The present invention relates to a game hall device and a game hall system that can accurately calculate game information for gaming machines having different game media multipliers.

In general, a slot machine (rotating type gaming machine) is known as a gaming machine installed in a game arcade.
In a slot machine, when a player inserts a game medium and operates a start lever, a plurality of (usually three) reels displaying a predetermined symbol start rotating, and a plurality of stops corresponding to each reel. When the button is pressed at an arbitrary timing, the rotation stop device operates to stop the rotating reel, and a predetermined number of game media are paid out according to the arrangement of the symbols of the stopped reels.

In this slot machine, when a predetermined condition is established such that the reel symbols are in a predetermined arrangement, the gaming state that is normally performed is shifted to a gaming state that is advantageous to the player.
The game state advantageous to the player includes a specific game and a special game having a different content from the specific game.

The specific game is different from the normal game when a predetermined condition is established in the game or the next game or later when a predetermined content is hit as a result of a drawing performed inside the slot machine. One or a plurality of games are performed under control, and the specific gaming state is ended when a certain condition is satisfied.
For example, a specific game state advantageous to the player, which is called “bonus game”, is known. Examples of the bonus game include a big bonus game (BB).
When winning a prize in this BB, the bonus game defined by the upper limit value of the game is controlled, and the game is controlled so that, for example, a large number of hundreds of game media are paid out. Further, the number of game media to be paid out may be changed according to the type of BB.

On the other hand, the special game is a game state that is advantageous to the player and is performed with a content different from that of the specific game, and includes, for example, a replay time (RT) and a probability variation state (probability variation state).
RT (replay time) refers to a state in which the winning probability of replay (replay) is set higher than the winning probability of replay in the normal gaming state, making it easy to win and win a replay. Note that replay refers to a game in which a next game can be performed without throwing in game media when predetermined re-game symbols are prepared.
The probability variation state is a state in which the winning probability of the specific game is higher than the winning probability of the specific game in the normal gaming state.
Note that the special game includes a state where only one of RT (replay time) or probability change state occurs and a state where RT (replay time) and probability change state occur simultaneously.
As described above, in many slot machines, not only a specific game state but also a special game state can be executed to improve game performance.

By the way, when a game is played in the slot machine, data relating to this game is output as an external output signal.
The external output signals include, for example, a medal insertion signal, a medal payout signal, a BB signal, and the like, which are input by a management device called a hall computer and used for calculation of data related to the game.
Some slot machines capable of executing RT (replay time) output an RT (replay time) signal (see, for example, Patent Document 1). By inputting this RT (replay time) signal, the hall computer calculates the RT (replay time) entry rate, the number of medal payouts in the RT (replay time) state, etc., and sets the RT (replay time) state to the slot. It can be grasped for each machine.

  Further, some conventional slot machines output a probability fluctuation signal when the winning probability such as a big hit fluctuates (see, for example, Patent Document 2). By inputting this probability variation signal, the hall computer can calculate game information related to the probability variation.

  However, some slot machines do not output RT (replay time) signals or probability variation signals. In that case, the hall computer cannot distinguish between the normal gaming state and the RT (replay time) state or the normal gaming state and the probability variation state, and it is not possible to collect and manage game information for each of these states. There was a problem.

Further, in the current slot machine, the winning probability of winning a big hit is set to 6 stages. For example, if the number of medals is different between the big win and the normal gaming state, and the number of winnings is different even in the normal gaming state. Considering the fact that the jackpot winning probability is different (for example, increase / decrease in the effective line), a slot machine that changes the jackpot winning probability to an arbitrary probability other than the six-stage setting may be considered.
When there is a slot machine that can execute such a probability change, it is desirable for the hall computer to be able to distinguish the normal gaming state from the probability changing state and to add game information for each state.

  The present invention is considered in view of the above circumstances, and even when a probability variation signal or RT (replay time) signal is not output to the outside from the slot machine, an RT (replay time) state, a probability variation state, and a normal gaming state It is an object of the present invention to provide a game hall apparatus and a game hall system that can calculate game information for each state.

  In order to achieve this object, the game field device according to the present invention has a specific game state that is a game state advantageous to the player and a game state that is executed with a content different from the specific game state and is advantageous to the player. A special game state and a normal game state that is a game state other than the specific game state and the special game state are executed, and output from a gaming machine in which the number of input game media differs at least between the normal game state and the special game state A game hall device that receives a signal relating to a game that has been played, wherein a communication medium number signal indicating the number of game media input to the gaming machine is received from the gaming machine, and in a special gaming state and a normal gaming state Using the storage means for storing the multiplication number of game media as a prescribed number, the game media number signal and the prescribed number, the gaming state in the gaming machine is a special gaming state or a normal gaming state. Determining means for determining is Re, it is constituted having a calculating means for calculating a predetermined data for each gaming state determined by the determination means.

  In addition, a game room system according to the present invention includes a game machine that outputs a game-related signal as an external output signal, a game room device that receives the external output signal, and a management device that calculates game-related data. The gaming machine includes a specific game state that is a game state advantageous to the player, a special game state that is a game state advantageous to the player and that is executed with contents different from the specific game state, and A normal gaming state that is a gaming state other than the specific gaming state and the special gaming state is executed, and at least the number of game media multiplied is different between the normal gaming state and the special gaming state, and the management device is different from the special gaming state. The number of game media in the normal gaming state is set as a specified number, and the set specified number is transmitted to the game room device. It is constituted comprising a game arcade device mounting.

  According to the game field device and the game field system of the present invention, the specified number of the normal state and the specified number of the special game state (one or both of the replay high probability state or the probability variation state) are set in advance. Whether the gaming state in the slot machine is a bonus state is determined based on a signal indicating that the gaming state is in a specific gaming state, and whether the gaming state in the slot machine is a normal gaming state or a special gaming state Can be determined by comparing the number of medals inserted and the preset number of medals. Thereby, the execution section of the special game state can be specified, and the game information in this special game state can be calculated and managed separately from the game information in the normal game state.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a game hall apparatus and a game hall system according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[First embodiment]
(I) Game Hall Device and Game Hall System First, a first embodiment of a game hall device and a game hall system according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of the game hall system of the present embodiment.
As shown in the figure, the game hall system 1 includes a plurality of slot machines 10, a call lamp 20 provided for each slot machine 10, a plurality of computer systems 30 connected to the call lamp 20, and a slot. A plurality of island computers 40 provided for each island of the machine 10 and a hall computer 50 connected to these island computers 40 are provided.

  Here, the slot machine 10 is a gaming machine also called a pachislot machine, and a plurality of slot machines 10 are installed in the game hall. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the slot machine 10 is installed in units of so-called “islands” in which a plurality of slot machines 10 are grouped in a predetermined number of units. Are to be paralleled.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the slot machine 10 has a first specific gaming state (BB1) in which the big bonus game is being executed and a second state in which the big bonus game is being executed. A special gaming state in which one or both of a specific gaming state (BB2), an RT (replay time) or a probability variation state has occurred, and a normal gaming state other than these BB1, BB2, and the special gaming state The gaming state is executable. The game state is changed from the current game state to another game state by a predetermined opportunity such as winning a predetermined specific symbol or ending the game state.

Note that BB1 and BB2 are common in that a bonus game in which an upper limit value (200 cards in FIG. 2) is defined is executed, but BB1 is in a special game state after the bonus game ends. However, BB2 is different in that it shifts to the normal gaming state after the bonus game ends.
For example, when the BB1 is won in the normal gaming state, the game shifts to a bonus game, and when the bonus game ends, the game shifts to a special game state. When the player enters the special game state and wins BB1, the player enters the special game state again after the bonus game ends. However, when the player wins BB2, the player shifts to the normal game state after the bonus game ends. When winning BB2 in the normal gaming state, the game shifts to a bonus game, and when the bonus game ends, the game shifts to the normal gaming state.
Since the specific game state, the special game state, and the normal game state have already been described in detail, the description thereof is omitted here.

Furthermore, the number of medals (specified number) is set for each gaming state. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the prescribed number of BB1 and BB2 can be two, the special gaming state can be two, and the normal gaming state can be three.
The prescribed number is set by the hall computer 50 and transmitted to the computer 30. The setting of the specified number of pieces in the hall computer 50 will be described in detail later in the section describing the hall computer 50.

Also, as shown in the figure, the winning probability of BB1 and BB2 in the normal gaming state is 1/300 respectively, whereas the winning probability of BB1 and BB2 in the special gaming state is 1/30 respectively. Yes. In other words, the special game state in this case is a probability variation state and a re-game high probability state.
In the present embodiment, the special gaming state is a state in which a replay high probability state and a probability change state occur simultaneously, but is not limited to this, and only one of the regame high probability state or the probability change state is included. It can also be in the generated state.

As shown in FIG. 3, the slot machine 10 includes a signal generation unit 11 that generates external output signals (serial signals), and a communication unit 12 that transmits these external output signals to the calling lamp 20.
The signal generation unit 11 includes a medal insertion signal indicating the number of medals to be used as gaming media of the slot machine 10, a medal payout signal indicating the number of payout medals, and a BB1 signal indicating that the current gaming state is BB1. Then, four state signals of the BB2 signal indicating that the current gaming state is BB2 are generated.

The communication unit 12 has an external output terminal 13 and is connected to a call lamp 20 via a signal line 14. When the external output signal is generated by the signal generator 11, it is transmitted from the external output terminal 13 to the computer 30 via the signal line 14 and the calling lamp 20.
Here, as shown in FIGS. 4A to 4C, the medal insertion signal is generated and output as the same number of pulse signals as the number of medal insertions. For example, when the number of inserted medals is 3, the medal insertion signal is output as three pulse signals (FIG. 4A). Further, when the number of inserted medals is 2, the medal insertion signal is output as two pulse signals (FIGS. 4B and 4C).

The medal insertion signal is a signal indicating the number of medals (game media) inserted into the slot machine 10 and corresponds to a “game media number signal”.
The medal insertion signal is usually output from the slot machine 10 when the start lever is operated. In this embodiment, the number of medals inserted in the game when the medal insertion signal is output is grasped. In addition, since the game state of the game is determined using the multiplied number, the medal insertion signal may be output during the game, and the output timing and output form during the game are not limited. Specifically, the output timing of the medal insertion signal is not limited to each operation of the start lever, for example, every time the medal is inserted, or any timing from when the start lever is operated until the next game is started. May be.
Further, the BB1 signal and the BB2 signal are signals indicating that the slot machine 10 is in the specific gaming state, and therefore correspond to “specific game signals”.
Further, the slot machine 10 of the present embodiment outputs the four signals shown in FIG. 3 as external output signals, and does not output RT (replay time) signals or probability variation signals.

  In addition, the slot machine 10 has the same configuration and functions as the normal slot machine except for the configuration described above, and the content and method of the game using medals as game media are the same as those in the existing slot machine game. It is the same as the machine.

Various devices related to the game can be installed, such as a POS terminal that collects and manages data related to machines and prize exchanges, and a game data display device that displays information related to gaming machines and members in a viewable manner.

Further, depending on the game hall, for example, a pachinko machine or the like may be installed as a gaming machine other than the slot machine 10, and even in such a gaming hall, the gaming hall of the present embodiment as shown in FIG. The system can be applied.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, a device or a device that can be connected to the call lamp 20, the stand computer 30, the island computer 40, the hall computer 50, and other game room systems 1 is referred to as a “game room device”.

(II) Game Information Calculation Method Next, a game information calculation method executed by the game hall system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
Here, the game information calculation method will be described by dividing it into the following four items.
(II-1) Game information calculation process (II-2) State determination process (II-3) Bonus probability calculation process (II-4) State signal output process

(II-1) Game information calculation process The game information calculation process generally shows a procedure for calculating game information.
This game information calculation process will be described with reference to FIG.
This figure is a flowchart showing the procedure of the game information calculation process.

When the game progresses in the slot machine 10, an external output signal is output from the external output terminal 13 accordingly.
When the external output signal is received by the communication unit 31 of the stand computer 30, the determination unit 33 determines the current gaming state of the game (S10).
Next, predetermined game information is calculated for each game on the basis of the external output signal in the calculation unit 34 (S11).
When the game state in the slot machine 10 has transitioned to another game state and the determination unit 33 of the stand computer 30 determines, the calculation unit 34 calculates game information regarding the game state before the transition for each game. The game information is calculated using the game information (game information is calculated for each gaming state, S12).
Furthermore, when the game state after the transition is BB, the BB winning probability and the average value of the BB winning probabilities executed within a predetermined period in the past are calculated (S13).
Then, the base computer 30 transmits predetermined information from the communication unit 31 to the hall computer 50. When the hall computer 50 receives the predetermined information, the base computer 30 calculates predetermined game information and uses the calculated game information. Registered as a history in the game information database (history creation, S14).

By executing this game information calculation process, the game information can be calculated for each game or each gaming state.
Among the game information calculation processes, the processes of S10 and S13 are processes that characterize the present invention. Among these, the process of S10 will be further described in the following (II-2), and the process of S13 will be further described in (II-3) described later.

(II-2) State determination process A state determination process is a process performed in S10 of FIG. 11, and is a process which determines a game state for every game.
This state determination process will be described with reference to FIG.
This figure is a flowchart showing the procedure of the state determination process executed by the computer 30.

A prescribed number pattern is stored in advance in the storage unit 32 of the computer 30. Here, it is assumed that the prescribed number pattern shown in FIG. Further, it is assumed that the prescribed number of bonus games is two.
When the communication unit 31 receives the medal insertion signal, the determination unit 34 determines whether or not the number of sheets indicated by the medal insertion signal is three (S20).
As a result of the determination, if the number of medals indicated by the medal insertion signal is 3, it is determined that the gaming state in the slot machine 10 is the normal gaming state with reference to the prescribed number pattern (S21).

On the other hand, when the number of sheets indicated by the medal insertion signal is not three, the determination unit 33 then determines whether or not the number of sheets to be multiplied is two (S22).
As a result of the determination, when the number of sheets to be multiplied is not two, the processing after S20 is executed.
On the other hand, when the number of sheets to be multiplied is two, the determination unit 33 subsequently determines whether or not the BB1 signal or the BB2 signal is received by the communication unit 31 (S23).
As a result of the determination, when the BB1 signal or the BB2 signal is received by the communication unit 31, it is determined that the gaming state in the slot machine 10 is in bonus (S24).
On the other hand, when the BB1 signal and the BB2 signal are not received by the communication unit 31, it is determined that the gaming state in the slot machine 10 is the special gaming state (S25).

By executing this state determination process, the gaming state in the slot machine is changed to the normal gaming state or the special gaming state using the prescribed number of the normal gaming state or the special gaming state, the multiplication number indicated by the medal insertion signal, and the BB signal. It can be determined whether the state or the specific gaming state.
The period during which the game determined to be in the normal gaming state is being executed is defined as the execution period for the normal gaming state, and the period during which the game determined to be in the special gaming state is being executed is the execution period for the special gaming state. Then, the period during which the BB signal is received is specified as the bonus game execution section, and the game information for each gaming state can be calculated in S12 of FIG.

  Here, the processing shown in FIG. 12 is executed using the prescribed number pattern shown in FIG. 10A, but the prescribed number pattern is not limited to FIG. Any one of the prescribed number patterns among (b) to (f) can be used. Here, for example, in the case where FIG. 5B is used, it is determined in S20 whether or not the number of multiplications indicated by the medal insertion signal is one, and in S22, the number of multiplications indicated by the medal insertion signal. It is determined whether or not there are two sheets. The same applies to (c) to (f) of FIG.

  Further, the medal insertion signal and the BB1 signal or the BB2 signal received by the communication unit 31 of the base computer 30 are the numerical values represented by the “insert number” and “bonus signal” in the gaming state management database shown in FIG. When the state determination process shown in FIG. 12 is executed in the state, the following occurs. For example, in the gaming state management database numbers 1 to 10 shown in FIG. 6, the number of inserted medals is 3, and no bonus signal is output. As a result of executing the state determination process shown in FIG. The state is determined. In addition, in numbers 101 to 110, since the number of inserted medals is two and a bonus signal is output, it is determined that a bonus is being performed. Further, in the numbers 121 to 130, the number of inserted medals is 2, and no bonus signal is output, so it is determined that the special gaming state is in effect.

  Furthermore, the process shown in FIG. 12 is a process when the prescribed number pattern shown in FIG. 10A (however, the prescribed number of bonus games is two) is used. In this case, the special game state is prescribed. Since the number and the prescribed number of bonus games are the same, the special gaming state and the bonus game are distinguished from each other by checking whether or not the BB signal is received instead of the prescribed number. However, in the case where the prescribed numbers of the normal gaming state, the special gaming state, and the bonus game are all different, the gaming state of the slot machine 10 can be determined only by the prescribed number without using the BB signal. For example, if the specified number of games in the normal game state is 3, the special game state is 2, and the bonus game is 1, the game state of the slot machine 10 is the normal game when the number of laps based on the medal insertion signal is 3. It can be determined that the player is in a state, and when the number of pieces to be multiplied is two, it is determined that the game is in a special game state.

(II-3) Bonus probability calculation process The bonus probability calculation process is a process executed in S13 of FIG. 11, and the BB executed in the slot machine is a BB from the normal gaming state or a special gaming state. It is a process which determines whether it is BB and calculates each winning probability.
This bonus probability calculation process will be described with reference to FIG.
This figure is a flowchart showing a procedure of bonus probability calculation processing executed in the computer 30.
Since the bonus probability calculation process is a determination process for BB, the process starts when the communication unit 31 receives the BB1 signal or the BB2 signal.

The determination unit 33 of the computer 30 determines whether or not the communication unit 31 has finished receiving the BB1 signal or the BB2 signal (S30).
If the reception of the BB1 signal or the BB2 signal is not completed as a result of the determination, the process waits until the reception of the BB1 signal or the BB2 signal is completed.
On the other hand, when the reception of the BB1 signal or the BB2 signal is completed, the determination unit 33 then determines whether or not the BB indicated by the BB1 signal or the BB2 signal has shifted from the normal gaming state (S31).

  As a result of the determination, when the BB indicated by the BB1 signal or the like has shifted from the normal gaming state, it is determined that the BB is the BB from the normal gaming state, and after the end of the previous BB (previous predetermined If there is no previous BB within the period, the number of games of the current BB is subtracted from the number of games from the start of business) to the end of the current BB (S32), A numerical value expressed as a fraction as a numerator is calculated as a winning probability of the current BB (S33).

  On the other hand, when the BB indicated by the BB1 signal or the like is not shifted from the normal gaming state, the BB is determined to be a BB from the special gaming state, and the current BB ends after the previous BB ends. The number of games of the current BB is subtracted from the number of games up to this time (S34), and a numerical value represented by a fraction with 1 as the numerator is calculated as the number of games after the subtraction, and the winning probability of the current BB is calculated (S35). ).

  By executing this bonus probability calculation process, it is possible to determine whether BB is a BB from the normal gaming state or a BB from the special gaming state. The BB winning probability from the normal gaming state and the BB winning probability from the special gaming state can be calculated respectively.

Thus, by executing the (II-2) state determination process and the (II-3) bonus probability calculation process, the BB from the normal gaming state and the BB from the special gaming state are respectively determined, and each game The game information for each state can be calculated.
Specifically, for example, as shown in the game information database of FIG. 8, for each BB1 won in the normal gaming state, each game information with “number” in the “1” column and “type” as “◯” And BB1 won in the special game state, each game information can be registered in the column “number” is “2” and “type” is “★”. In addition, a winning probability is calculated for each of the BB from the normal gaming state and the BB from the special gaming state, and when the BB from the normal gaming state is executed a plurality of times, or the BB from the special gaming state is When executed a plurality of times, the average value of each winning probability can be calculated.

(II-4) Status signal output process The status signal output process is a process of transmitting a signal indicating the number of medals and the BB in the slot machine from the stand computer to the hall computer.
This state signal output processing will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 (a) to 4 (c) and FIG.
FIG. 14 is a chart showing a combination pattern of status signals.

The hall computer 50 calculates predetermined game information based on the received signal, and stores and manages it as a history.
Here, it is also conceivable that the hall computer 50 receives the external output signal output from the slot machine 10 as it is and uses it for calculation of game information.
However, some signal analysis protocols installed in the hall computer 50 cannot analyze a medal insertion signal for intermittently transmitting a plurality of pulse signals.
Therefore, the number of medals inserted is transmitted from the base computer 30 to the hall computer 50 as a combination of two parallel signals.

As shown in FIG. 4A to FIG. 4C, signals transmitted from the communication unit 31 of the stand computer 30 to the hall computer 50 include a start signal, a state signal A, a state signal B, and a bonus. There is a signal.
The start signal is a signal indicating that a game has been started in the slot machine 10. This start signal is generated and output after a predetermined time (“t” in FIG. 4A to FIG. 4C) has elapsed since the communication unit 31 received the medal insertion signal.

The state signal A and the state signal B are signals indicating the number of inserted medals by combining these. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, when the status signal A is output as “ON” and the status signal B is output as “ON”, this indicates that three sheets are required (FIG. 4A). When the status signal A is output as “ON” and the status signal B is output as “OFF”, this indicates that two sheets are multiplied (FIGS. 4B and 4C). Further, when the status signal A is output as “OFF” and the status signal B is output as “ON”, it indicates that one sheet is applied.
Thus, the status signal A and the status signal B can represent the number of inserted medals by the combination of the respective “ON” and “OFF”. The hall computer 50 can determine the number of medals inserted based on the combination.
Note that the combination of “ON” and “OFF” of the status signals A and B is the combination shown in FIG. 16 in the present embodiment, but is not limited to this, and the number of inserted medals is three or two. Any combination may be used as long as it can be determined which one of the sheets.

The bonus signal is a signal indicating whether or not the current gaming state in the slot machine 10 is BB.
For example, when this bonus signal is “ON”, it indicates that the current gaming state in the slot machine 10 is BB (FIG. 4B). On the other hand, when the bonus signal is “OFF”, it indicates that the current gaming state in the slot machine 10 is not BB (FIG. 4C).
The hall computer 50 can determine the gaming state in the slot machine 10 by receiving these start signal, state signals A and B, and a bonus signal, and can determine a gaming state for each game or each gaming state, as with the base computer 30. Information can be calculated.

As described above, according to the game hall device and the game hall system of the present embodiment, a game in the slot machine 10 is performed using the set prescribed number, the number of multiplications indicated by the medal insertion signal, the BB1 signal, and the BB2 signal. It can be determined whether the state is a normal gaming state, a specific gaming state, or a special gaming state (one (RT (replay time) or one or both simultaneous occurrence states)).
Thus, even when there is a slot machine that can execute a special gaming state and does not output an RT (replay time) signal or a probability variation signal to the outside, the normal gaming state, the specific gaming state, and the special gaming state are distinguished. Separately, game information can be calculated for each state.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the game hall device and the game hall system of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 15 is a block diagram showing a game state transition in the slot machine provided in the game hall system of the present embodiment, and FIG. 16 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an external output signal in the second embodiment. FIG. 17 is a chart showing the configuration of the game information database in the second embodiment. FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing a procedure of bonus state determination processing in the second embodiment. FIG. 19A is a waveform diagram showing an output example of a medal insertion signal, a start signal, a status signal, and a bonus signal in the second embodiment. FIG. 19B is a waveform diagram showing another output example of the medal insertion signal, the start signal, the status signal, and the bonus signal in the second embodiment.

This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the slot machine can execute BB3 in addition to BB1 and BB2. Further, the game hall device and the hall computer are different in that they have a configuration corresponding to BB3. Other components are the same as those in the first embodiment.
Therefore, in FIGS. 15-19, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the component similar to FIG. 1, etc., and the detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

(I) Game Hall Device and Game Hall System As shown in FIG. 15, the slot machine 10 of the present embodiment can execute each game state of BB1, BB2, BB3, special game state, and normal game state. .
Here, BB3 is a form of a specific gaming state that is executed with a different content from BB1 and BB2, and can be, for example, a suddenly changing specific gaming state. Suddenly probabilistic is that it goes into a high probability state via a big hit that hardly gets out, and it is characterized by an effect that makes it seem that the bonus winning probability suddenly enters the high probability state from the low probability state It has become. In this case, in BB3, two or more bonus games (community games) are played, but the number of games can be less than BB1 or BB2. This BB3 shifts to a special game state when the special game is complete and shifts to a bonus game when the normal game state or the special game state is completed, and the bonus game ends. Further, a gaming state in which the number of payouts of BB3 is smaller than that of BB1 or BB2 may be adopted.

Further, as shown in FIG. 16, the communication unit 12 of the slot machine 10 uses four signals of a medal insertion signal, a medal payout signal, a BB1, BB3 mixed signal, and a BB2 signal as external output signals. 13 to output.
Among these, the BB1, BB3 mixed signal is a signal output in an “ON” state when the slot machine 10 is in a gaming state of either BB1 or BB3.
A method for determining whether the gaming state in the slot machine 10 is BB1 or BB3 will be described in detail in “(II-1) Bonus state determination process” described later.
Further, the mixed signal BB1, BB3 is a signal indicating that the slot machine 10 is in a specific gaming state, and therefore corresponds to a “specific game signal”.

The storage unit 52 of the hall computer 50 stores a game information database.
As shown in FIG. 17, the game information database includes “number”, “number of games between bonuses”, “number of intermediate bonuses”, “probability between normal bonuses”, “probability between RT bonuses”, “ “Type”, “Normal bonus probability average”, “RT bonus probability average”, “Multiply number”, “TY difference number”, and “Normal / RT combined bonus probability average” may be configured as items. it can.
Here, the “TY difference number” is calculated for each BB from the normal game state and BB from the special game state (when the BB is consecutive, these are combined as a series of BBs). Difference between the number of sheets and the number of payouts).

(II) Game Information Calculation Method Next, a game information calculation method executed by the game hall system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.
Here, the game information calculation method will be described for the following two items.
(II-1) Bonus state determination processing (II-2) State signal output processing

(II-1) Bonus State Determination Process In the bonus state determination process, the gaming state in the slot machine 10 is either BB1 or BB3 when the BB1, BB3 mixed signal is received by the communication unit 31 of the stand computer 30. It is the process which determines. This bonus state determination process will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a procedure for executing the bonus state determination process in the computer 30.
Since the bonus state determination process is a process for distinguishing BB1 and BB3, the process starts when the communication unit 31 receives the BB1, BB3 mixed signal.

The determination unit 33 of the stand computer 30 determines whether or not the reception of the BB1, BB3 mixed signal in the communication unit 31 is completed (S40).
If the reception of the BB1, BB3 mixed signal is not completed as a result of the determination, the process waits until the reception of the BB1, BB3 mixed signal is completed.
On the other hand, when the reception of the BB1, BB3 mixed signal is completed, the determination unit 33 then performs two or more games executed while the BB1, BB3 mixed signal is received, and BB1 or It is determined whether or not the number of games is less than or equal to BB2 (S41).

As a result of the determination, if the number of games is two or more and less than or equal to the number of games of BB1 or BB2, it is determined that the signal is BB3 while the BB1, BB3 mixed signal is received (S42).
On the other hand, when the number of games is two or more and not less than the number of games of BB1 or BB2, while the BB1 and BB3 mixed signals are received, it is determined to be BB1 (S43).

By executing this bonus state determination process, it is possible to determine whether the gaming state of the slot machine is BB1 or BB3 while the BB1, BB3 mixed signal is received. The game information can be accurately calculated for each of BB1, BB2, and BB3.
In S41 of FIG. 18, the determination of BB1 or BB3 is performed using the number of games during reception of the BB1, BB3 mixed signal. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, reception of the BB1, BB3 mixed signal is performed. The determination of BB1 or BB3 can also be made using the payout number in the middle. That is, when the payout number during reception of the BB1, BB3 mixed signal is equal to or less than the predetermined number, it is determined as BB3. On the other hand, when the payout number during reception of the BB1, BB3 mixed signal is equal to or greater than the predetermined number , BB1.

  Further, BB1 and BB3 determined by executing the bonus state determination process shown in FIG. 18 are BB1 or BB3 from the normal gaming state by executing the bonus probability calculation process shown in FIG. Whether the game state is BB1 or BB3 can be determined. Then, the winning probability is calculated for each of BB1, BB2, BB3 from the normal gaming state and BB1, BB2, BB3 from the special gaming state, and when BB from the normal gaming state is executed a plurality of times, And when BB from a special game state is performed in multiple times, the average value of each winning probability can be calculated.

Furthermore, the game information calculated for each of these BB1, BB2, and BB3 can be tabulated and managed as in the game information database of FIG.
Specifically, for example, as shown in the figure, for each BB2 won in the normal game state, each game information is registered with “number” in the column “1” and “type” “◎”. For BB3 won in the normal gaming state, each game information is registered with the “number” in the column of “2” and the “type” as “□”, and for BB1 won in the special gaming state after BB3, Each game information is registered with “★” in “No.” field and “★” in the “No.” field, and “Type” is entered in the “No.” field in “4” for BB2 won in the special game state. Each game information is registered as “▲”, and for BB1 won in the normal game state, each game information is registered with “Number” in the column of “5” and “Type” as “○”, and the special game state For BB1 that won a prize, each of “No.” in the “6” column and “Type” as “△” Register the technique information, about the BB2 was winning in the special game state, in the column of "number" is "7", it is possible to register each game information the "type" as "▲".

  Note that the BB1, BB3 mixed signal is a signal output from the slot machine 10 when any one of a plurality of types of specific game states is executed, and thus corresponds to a “multiple specific game signal”.

(II-2) Status Signal Output Processing The status signal output processing will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 (a) and 19 (b).
As shown in FIGS. 19A and 19B, the signal transmitted from the communication unit 31 of the stand computer 30 to the hall computer 50 includes a start signal, a state signal A, a state signal B, and a bonus signal. is there. Among these, it is the bonus signal that distinguishes BB1 and BB3.

For example, in the case of BB1, the bonus signal is output over a plurality of games. On the other hand, in the case of BB3, the bonus signal is output over a smaller number of games (two games in FIG. 19B) than BB1.
Thus, BB1 and BB3 can be distinguished by the number of games while the bonus signal is being output.
Moreover, the bonus signal shows that BB1 and BB3 can be discriminated by one signal. From this, it is possible to discriminate the three types of bonus without increasing the number of the current signal lines 14 while keeping the number of the signal lines 14 as it is. In this case, the discrimination between BB2 and BB1 and BB3 can be made using the number of games, the number of payouts, and the like.
The status signal A indicates “ON” and the status signal B indicates “OFF”, and this combination indicates that the number of inserted medals is two.

As described above, according to the game hall device and the game hall system of the present embodiment, the specified number of the normal game state, the special game state, and the specific game state are input and set by the hall computer and stored in the stand computer. The gaming state in the slot machine is any one of the normal gaming state, the special gaming state, and the BB state by using the prescribed number of the normal gaming state, the special gaming state, the specific gaming state, the multiplied number indicated by the number of insertions, and the BB signal. The game information can be calculated for each of these game states.
As a result, even if the slot machine is equipped with a probability change function, or when the RT (replay time) signal and the probability change signal are not output from the slot machine, the special gaming state (RT (replay time) or one or both of the probability changes occurs simultaneously. Game information related to (status) can be accurately tabulated and managed.

  Also, by transmitting the game information collected by the computer to the hall computer, the hall computer calculates game information for each gaming state, for example, the bonus probability in the normal gaming state and the bonus probability in the special gaming state. This can be stored and managed as a history or displayed on the screen.

The preferred embodiments of the game hall device and the game hall system of the present invention have been described above. However, the game hall device and the game hall system according to the present invention are not limited to the above-described embodiments, and the scope of the present invention. Needless to say, various modifications can be made.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, only one hall computer is provided. However, the configuration is not limited to one, and a plurality of hall computers can be provided.

In the above-described embodiment, the game information calculation process, the state determination process, the bonus probability calculation process, and the bonus state determination process are executed by the stand computer. However, the present invention is not limited to the stand computer. It can also be executed by a game arcade device other than the base computer, such as a computer, an island computer, or a call lamp.
Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the specified number of games in the specific gaming state, special gaming state, and normal gaming state is input / set by the hall computer. However, the input / setting device is not limited to the hall computer. However, it can be input at other game hall devices. However, for call lamps, stand computers, and island computers, there is no input operation unit such as a keyboard. Can be configured to transmit wirelessly.

In addition, the state signal output from the game hall device is in a pulse shape with a short waveform width in FIG. 4A and the like, but is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. It is also possible to maintain the ON state until the medal insertion signal is received (u in the figure). Thereby, the state signal can be reliably detected by the hall computer.
In addition, the game information database shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 17 is managed by the hall computer in the above-described embodiment, but is not limited to the hall computer, and other game halls such as a stand computer and an island computer. It can also be managed by the device.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the state in which one or both of the high probability state of replay or the probability change state is generated is the special game state, but is not limited to this. For example, a predetermined winning combination (for example, The AT (assist gaming state) with the notification of the push order of the stop button and the notification of the symbol that serves as an indicator of the eye so that the small game is won can be included in the special gaming state. In this case, the special game state can be a state in which one or more of the re-game high probability state, the probability change state, and the AT are generated.

  Since the present invention relates to calculation of game information, the present invention can be used for an apparatus or device that calculates game information.
