The power supply circuit unit 30 supplies operating power to the entire gaming machine 1 including the main control unit 23.

The gaming machine 1 operates as follows.
(1) When a prize is won in the special figure 1 starting port 14, the special figure 1 lottery in which one of the random numbers generated by the random number generation unit 39 is extracted by the random number extraction unit 38 is executed, and the symbol variation of the special figure 1 is started. do.
When a prize is won in the normal figure start port 13, a normal figure lottery is executed in which one of the random numbers generated by the random number generation unit 39 is extracted by the random number extraction unit 38, and the symbol change of the normal figure is started. When the drawing lottery is won, the winning symbol is displayed on the drawing display unit 18, and the electric accessory of the special drawing 2 starting port 15 is opened so that the special drawing 2 starting opening 15 can be won.
When the special figure 2 starting port 15 is won, the special figure 2 lottery in which one of the random numbers generated by the random number generation unit 39 is extracted by the random number extraction unit 38 is executed, and the symbol variation of the special figure 2 is started.

(2) The lottery results of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 are stored up to an upper limit of four (excluding one in the change), and the symbol change is sequentially executed. The number of reserved balls is displayed on the reserved display unit 12a in the lower right corner of the liquid crystal display unit 12 (see FIGS. 5 (a) to 5 (c)), and the number on the left side of the two-digit numbers of the reserved display unit 12a. Corresponds to special figure 1 and the number on the right side corresponds to special figure 2. In the special figure 1 lottery and the special figure 2 lottery, two types of 15R big hit and 8R big hit are drawn.

(3) The gaming state of the gaming machine 1 includes a normal state, a probabilistic change state, a time saving state, and a jackpot state (15R / 8R).
In the normal state, a big hit state and a sudden time-saving lottery are executed. The winning probability (big hit probability) of the big hit lottery is 1/300 (see FIG. 4A), and when a big hit occurs, the big winning opening 19 is opened by the number of rounds (R) distributed.
Here, the distribution rate when a big hit is won differs between the special figure 1 lottery and the special figure 2 lottery as shown in FIG. 4 (b). In the special figure 1 lottery, 30% for 15R and 70 for 8R. On the other hand, in the special figure 2 lottery, it is distributed to 70% for 15R and 30% for 8R. Further, the opening time of the electric accessory of the special figure 2 starting port 15 is 3 seconds in the probable change state and the time saving state and 0.2 seconds in the normal state. The jackpot of is increased, and the ratio of 15R increases. The maximum number of winnings in 1R is 10, the upper limit opening time is 30 seconds, and 1R ends when either the upper limit winning or the upper limit opening time is satisfied.

(4) After the end of the 15R jackpot state, the state shifts to the probable change state, and the probable change state continues until the symbol changes for 100 times are performed. In the probabilistic state, the jackpot probability is improved to 1/30 (see FIG. 4A), and if no jackpot occurs by the symbol fluctuation of 100 rotations, the normal state is reached.
After the end of the 8R jackpot state, the state shifts to the time saving state, and the time saving state continues until the symbol changes for 50 times are performed. The jackpot probability in the time-saving state is 1/300, and if no jackpot occurs by the symbol fluctuation of 50 rotations, the normal state is reached. In the time-shortened state (including the probabilistic state), the fluctuation time of the normal figure is relatively shorter than in the normal state (reduced from 1 minute to 1 second in the normal state), while the opening time is relative as described above. The longer the length, the higher the winning rate of the special figure 2 starting port 15.

(5) When a prize is won in the special figure 1 starting port 14 or the special drawing 2 starting port 15 as described above, a time saving lottery (specific state lottery) is performed separately from the big hit lottery, and the winning rate in the time saving lottery. Is 1/250 (see FIG. 4A). When the time-saving lottery is won, it is assumed that the first condition is satisfied, and the state suddenly shifts to the time-saving state until the symbol is changed 100 times, for example.
On the other hand, when the jackpot is not achieved until the symbol is changed a predetermined number of times (for example, 800 times) after the end of the probability change state and the end of the 8R jackpot state, that is, when the second condition of being non-winning 800 times in a row is satisfied. , Transition to the ceiling time reduction state. The ceiling time reduction state continues until, for example, 1100 symbol fluctuations are performed at the longest. When the number of symbol fluctuations reaches 800 during the sudden time reduction, the sudden time reduction state is changed to the ceiling time reduction state.

In the following, the states of sudden time reduction and ceiling time reduction are collectively referred to as "specific state". That is, the specific state is a gaming state in which the jackpot lottery is executed, such as a sudden time reduction or a ceiling time reduction in which the execution interval is relatively short compared to the normal state in which the execution interval of the jackpot lottery is relatively long. It refers to. Further, in the specific state, the first condition of winning the time-saving lottery executed in the normal state as described above is satisfied, and the second condition that the result of the jackpot lottery is, for example, 800 times in a row is not won. It can be said that it occurs when is satisfied.

Here, FIGS. 5A, 5B, and 5C exemplify the effect screens displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 12 in the above-mentioned normal state, probable change state, and specific state, respectively.

Further, the above-mentioned hold display unit 12a is provided in the lower right corner of the effect screen.

On the effect screen in the probabilistic state of FIG. 5B, "probability change in progress!" Is displayed in the central portion above the probable change state, indicating that the probabilistic change time is shortened. Further, in the lower left corner of the effect screen, the number of remaining symbol changes in the current probability change is displayed as "remaining **".
As shown in FIG. 5 (c), the effect screen in the specific state has a "sudden time reduction" or "ceiling time reduction!" Is displayed. Further, in the lower left corner of the effect screen in a specific state, the number of remaining symbol changes at the present time according to the sudden time reduction or the ceiling time reduction is displayed, and the ceiling time reduction exemplified in FIG. 5C is displayed. On the effect screen of, the number of symbol fluctuations of "remaining ***" corresponding to a maximum of 1100 times is displayed.

It should be noted that the set values such as 100 times or 1100 times as the number of continuous starts (design fluctuations) of sudden time reduction or ceiling time reduction and 800 times as the above-mentioned predetermined number of times related to the fulfillment of the second condition are set for each model. (See FIG. 10), which will be described in detail later.

As shown in FIG. 7, the game information display device 3 has a control unit 55, a lamp unit 50, a liquid crystal display unit 51, a call button 52, an operation button group 53, a remote control light receiving unit 54, and an IC reader 56 as an electrical configuration. It has a transmission / reception unit 55e for transmitting / receiving various signals and various information to / from the relay device 4. The control unit 55 is mainly composed of a microcomputer having a CPU 55a, a ROM 55b, a RAM 55c, and an I / O 55d, and controls the operation of the game information display device 3 by executing a control program stored in the ROM 55b. ..

The control unit (not shown) of the management device 5 is mainly composed of a microcomputer having a storage unit such as a CPU, ROM, and RAM. A keyboard 6 and a monitor 7 (see FIG. 1) are connected to the control unit of the management device 5, a transmission / reception unit for transmitting / receiving various signals, and a printer (all not shown) are connected.
The control unit of the management device 5 (hereinafter abbreviated as “management device 5”) aggregates and manages various game information output from the game machine 1 side. For example, the management device 5 aggregates the number of starts (number of big hit lottery) that have not been won consecutively up to the present time, based on the symbol fluctuation signal (big hit lottery signal) output from the gaming machine 1. The number of starts executed per unit time is calculated (see the S rate in FIG. 10 described later).

Further, the management device 5 can specify the occurrence of a specific state based on the time saving signal output from the gaming machine 1 and aggregate detailed data such as the number of occurrences of the specific state and the number of starts in the specific state. The specific state includes a sudden time saving state that occurs when the first condition is satisfied and a ceiling time saving state that occurs when the second condition is satisfied, and suddenly or ceiling time saving depending on the model. Occurrence condition and end condition are different.

Therefore, in the game playground management system of the present embodiment, even when the game machine 1 in which the generation condition and the end condition of the specific state are complicated is targeted for management, two types of specific states having different occurrence triggers are obtained. , It is configured as a game information display system capable of appropriately managing the occurrence situation and providing appropriate game information to the player. Such a configuration will be described in detail with reference to the drawings after FIG.

FIG. 10 is data related to the time reduction setting managed for each model in the management device 5, and shows the time reduction setting for each model that can be output to the monitor 7 or the like.
As shown by "○" and "-" in the figure, the time reduction setting for each model is as follows: whether or not there is a sudden time reduction that is a "sudden time", whether or not there is a ceiling time reduction that is a "heavenly time", and a "time reduction signal" for each "model". The setting of the presence or absence of "" is stored in the storage unit of the management device 5. Further, for each model, the number of continuous start times of sudden time reduction and ceiling time reduction is stored as "sudden continuous S" and "heavenly continuous S", and the predetermined number of times related to the establishment of the second condition as "ceiling value". Is remembered. Further, as the "sudden time determination" and "heavenly time determination" for each model, the sudden time reduction and ceiling time reduction determination methods based on the "signal", "S number of times", and "S rate" are stored.

Here, in the management device 5, the "signal" to "S rate" determine that a specific state has occurred, and the specific state suddenly becomes a time saving state (first specific state) and a ceiling time saving state (second specific state). It is for determining which of these is, and is specified as follows (a) to (c).

(a) Signal: Judgment that a specific state has occurred (time saving state has occurred) when the time saving signal changes from OFF to ON.
(b) Number of S: The number of starts is compared with the number of S in the sky (ceiling value) to determine whether or not the ceiling time is shortened.
(c) S rate: Determines whether it is a specific state or a normal state depending on whether the number of starts per predetermined out (for example, 100 (balls)) is equal to or higher than a predetermined reference value (for example, 10 (rotations)).

Then, the management device 5 makes a determination by combining (a) to (c) according to the specifications of each model.
Specifically, for the models A, C, and D to which the time saving signal is output, the management device 5 outputs the signal (specific state signal) of (a) output from the corresponding gaming machine 1 in response to the occurrence of the specific state. ) To determine that a specific condition has occurred. Further, the management device 5 is based on whether or not the S number (number of big hit lottery) of (b) totaled as the jackpot lottery count counting means reaches the ceiling value when it is determined that the specific state has occurred. Therefore, it is determined whether the specific state is a sudden time saving state generated by the satisfaction of the first condition or a ceiling time saving state generated by the satisfaction of the second condition.

As a result, when it is determined that a specific state has occurred for model A based on the signal in (a), it is determined that the ceiling time has been shortened when the number of S times in (b) has reached the ceiling value (800). It is determined that the time is suddenly shortened when the ceiling value is not reached (see "Signal + S number of times" in FIG. 10). Since model C has no ceiling time reduction (because the ceiling value is "-"), if it is determined that a specific state has occurred based on the signal in (a), it is determined that the ceiling time reduction state is obtained with respect to the number of S in (b). It is determined that the vehicle suddenly shifts to the time saving state without being performed (see “None” in the ceiling determination in FIG. 10). Model D has no sudden time reduction, and when it is determined that a specific state has occurred based on the signal in (a), the number of S times in (b) has reached the ceiling value, and it is determined that the model has shifted to the ceiling time reduction state. NS.

On the other hand, for the models E and F having no time reduction signal, the management device 5 determines that a specific state has occurred when the S rate of (c) reaches a predetermined reference value (10). Further, when the management device 5 determines that the specific state has occurred, is the specific state suddenly shortened based on whether or not the number of S times in (b) has reached the ceiling value? Determine if the ceiling time is shortened.

As a result, when it is determined that a specific state has occurred for the model E based on the S rate in (c), it is determined that the ceiling time has been shortened when the number of S times in (b) has reached the ceiling value (500). It is determined that the time is suddenly shortened when the ceiling value is not reached (see "S rate + S number of times" in FIG. 10). Since the model F does not have a ceiling time reduction, when it is determined that a specific state has occurred based on the S rate in (c), the number of S times in (b) is not determined to be a ceiling time reduction state (the sky in FIG. 10). Time judgment Refer to "None"), and it is judged that the time has suddenly changed to the shortened state. It should be noted that the model B has no sudden time reduction, and by collating the S number of times in (b) with the ceiling value, it is possible to determine the transition to the ceiling time reduction state.

FIG. 11 shows the history data managed by the management device 5 for each unit number.
The history data corresponds to the "state", "S number of times", "type", and "number of difference balls" for the gaming machine 1 of the "model A" in the "date", as exemplified as the "unit number 123". As game information associated with the "time" (occurrence time to end time) of "No.", it is stored in the storage unit of the management device 5 for each unit number.

The "state" in FIG. 11 represents a normal state, a probable change state, and a specific state, which is a time saving state. Represents the distinction of a specific state such as. Further, "S number of times" in the figure represents the number of starts initialized by the occurrence of a big hit.

Specifically, a probable change jackpot occurred after 123 S times of "No. 1", and two consecutive villas were held until the jackpot of "No. 2", and then returned to the normal state (via the time saving state). After that, the time was suddenly shortened after 789 S times of "No. 3". Next, it can be seen that the ceiling value is reached when the number of S times of "No. 4" is 800, that is, when the sudden time reduction is exhausted 11 times, and the sudden time reduction state is changed to the ceiling time reduction state. In this way, the management device 5 suddenly shortens the time when the number of consecutive non-winning jackpot lottery reaches the ceiling value after determining that a sudden time reduction state has occurred as a specific state type determination means. It can be said that it is determined that the state has been switched from the state to the ceiling time reduction state (see the column of model A in FIG. 10).

In addition, a probability change jackpot occurs when the number of S times of "No. 5" is 1564 times, and after 100 times of probability change of "No. 6" is completed and the normal state is restored, the number of S times of "No. 7" is 345. Sudden time reduction has occurred in the times. After that, after the time reduction ended at 445 S times of "No. 8" and returned to the normal state, the time when the symbol change of 900 times of S times of "No. 9" (that is, 800 times after the end of the probable change state) was digested. The ceiling time is shortened.

FIG. 12 is aggregated data aggregated and managed by the management device 5, and shows aggregated data based on the historical data exemplified in FIG.
As shown in the figure, the management device 5 aggregates "out" and "safe" for each unit number, and based on the above determination result, the number of occurrences of "sudden time reduction" and "ceiling time reduction" respectively. Data including game information related to sudden time saving states such as, and ceiling time saving states are aggregated.

That is, the "big hit" (3), "sudden time reduction" (2), and "ceiling time reduction" (2) in FIG. 12 are the occurrences of the jackpot, sudden time reduction state, and ceiling time reduction state in the historical data of FIG. Represents the aggregated value of the number of times. (139) of "probability change S", (111) of "sudden time S" and (764) of "heavenly time S" are executed in each of the probability change state, the sudden time reduction state and the ceiling time reduction state in the historical data of FIG. It represents the total value (39 + 100), (11 + 100) and (1564-800) of the number of big hit lottery.
Further, (2626) of "cumulative S" in FIG. 12 represents the aggregated value (123 + 39 + 1564 + 900) of the number of S times in the historical data of FIG. 11, and the number of jackpot lottery executed in the normal state (not shown). ) Can be obtained by "cumulative S (2626) -probability variation S (139) -sudden time S (111) -heavenly time S (764)".

In this way, each game information display device 3 can display the game information of the corresponding game machine 1 and the game information aggregated by the management device 5 which is the game information aggregation means.
For example, it is assumed that a sudden time reduction occurs in the gaming machine 1 of the model A and the normal state suddenly shifts to the time reduction state. At this point, the game information display device 3 receives from the management device 5 the determination result and aggregated value of the above-mentioned "collision time determination" (see FIG. 10), and the time reduction setting for each model (such as the collision continuation S in FIG. 10). As a result, the normal display screen S0 in FIG. 6 suddenly transitions to the time saving screen S1 in FIG.

FIG. 8 specifically shows the liquid crystal display unit 51 with respect to the sudden time saving screen S1, and displays "I have just entered" sudden time saving "!" In the main display area 51a, and "It is the 5th time today." The number of sudden time reductions is displayed as the aggregated value of the day. Further, in the main display area 51a, the current number of remaining symbol fluctuations corresponding to the sudden time reduction is displayed as "remaining time reduction S number = 100".
In the screen S1 of FIG. 8 (and the screen S2 of FIG. 9), for convenience, the display contents of the sub display areas 51b to 51g are the same as those of the previous screen S0 of FIG. The displayed contents shall be updated as appropriate according to the progress of the game (start, occurrence of big hit, etc.).

Further, for example, it is assumed that the number of S times reaches 800 times in the same gaming machine 1 and suddenly shifts from the time saving state to the ceiling time saving state as described above. At this point, the game information display device 3 receives from the management device 5 the determination result and aggregated value of the above-mentioned "ceiling determination" (see FIG. 10), the time reduction setting for each model, and the like, so that the sudden time reduction screen of FIG. 8 is displayed. The transition from S1 to the ceiling time saving screen S2 of FIG.
On the ceiling time reduction screen S2 of FIG. 9, "I have just entered" ceiling time reduction "!" Is displayed in the main display area 51a, and the number of occurrences of ceiling time reduction is calculated as the aggregated value of the day as "It is the first time today". indicate. Further, in the main display area 51a, the number of remaining symbol changes at the present time according to the ceiling time reduction is displayed as "remaining time reduction S number = 1100".

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the occurrence of a specific state is determined based on the specific state signal or the number of big hit lottery per unit time, and further based on the number of consecutive non-winning big hit lottery. Since the sudden time reduction state and the ceiling time reduction state are classified, various game information can be aggregated according to the type of the specific state and displayed to the player on the game information display device 3.
