a functions as a privilege granting means, and the credit indicator 1
Credits corresponding to the number of paid-out medals are increased to the medal credits as the game value displayed in 4a. However, the medal credit is "50" while increasing.
When the number of medals reaches, the remaining number of medals is paid out by the medal payout device 18.

The game state in this slot machine 1 is
It is roughly divided into a normal game state at the time of normal operation and a special game state that shifts by winning a combination of "middle hit" and "big hit" which are special prize modes during the normal game in the normal game state. . The winning modes in the general game state can be roughly classified into three types, "big hit", "medium hit", and "small hit". As a so-called “small winning combination” that is a “small win” in the general game state, a “medal payout winning combination” is given a privilege that a predetermined number of medals are paid out.
And, the "replay combination" which is the re-game winning mode is defined. In this "replay role", medals are not paid out, but the next game can be redone under the same medal insertion conditions.

When the "RB combination" which is the special winning mode of "middle winning" in the normal gaming state is aligned on the valid winning line, first, 15 medals are paid out, and then the gaming state is in the general gaming state. The state is switched to the RB game in the special game state. In this RB game, a jack game in which only "jack winning combination" that is "per jack" is defined is performed. This RB game is returned to the normal game state when a total of 12 jack games are executed, or when a total of "per jack" is won 8 times. When the combination of the symbols of "Jack winning combination" during the RB game is aligned on the winning line, 15 medals are paid out.
In the jack game during the RB game, the lottery table dedicated to the RB game is used, and the "jack winning combination" is internally won with an extremely high probability. Therefore, the player can obtain a large number of medals that cannot be obtained in the normal gaming state.

When the "BB combination", which is a special prize mode that is a "big hit" in the normal game state, is aligned on the effective winning line, first, 15 medals are paid out, and then the game state is general. The game state is switched to the BB game in the special game state. In this BB game, first, a high-probability general game mode (hereinafter referred to as “BB
Medium general game ". ) Is carried out. The BB game is returned to the normal game state when the RB game is executed three times in total or when the total number of games in the BB general game reaches 30 times. Further, when the "RB combination" is won in the BB general game, the game state is switched to the game state in which the RB game is performed. Then, at the time when the RB game is finished, if the total number of times of execution of the RB game state has not reached 3 times, it is returned to the normal game state during BB, and if it is reached, it is returned to the general game state. In the BB middle general game, a lottery table dedicated to the BB game is used, and "small win"
In addition, the “RB role”, which is a medium hit, is highly likely to win the internal winning. Therefore, the player can win the medals for the RB game three times in the BB game and the medals to be acquired in the “small winning combination” of the BB middle general game.

Next, the configuration of the progressive device 40 according to this embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a progressive device 40 according to the present embodiment. JP display device 42 provided in the progressive device 40
The JP payout device 43 is integrally configured, and the display / payout device 44 is individually provided corresponding to each slot machine 1. These display / dispensing device 44,
It is installed in a single housing, and in that housing,
The progressive control board connected to each display / payout device constitutes the JP control device 41.

The JP control device 41 includes a CPU 41a, a clock generation circuit 41b, a ROM 41c, a RAM 41d, a random number generation circuit 41e, a data transmission / reception circuit 41f as identification information input means, and the like. The ROM 41c stores data such as various control programs and JP lottery tables, and outputs these to the CPU 41a. Further, the random number generation circuit 41e generates a random number at every predetermined cycle and outputs the data to the CPU 41a. On the other hand, J
The display / payout device 44 including the P display device 42 and the JP payout device 43 includes a CPU 44a and a clock generation circuit 44.

A data transmission / reception circuit 44j serving as identification information output means is provided. The ROM 44c stores data such as various control programs.
Output to U44a. Further, the card recording unit 44e records electronic data (hereinafter referred to as "medal data") corresponding to the number of medals paid out to the player on a magnetic card which is a portable recording medium, and the magnetic card is a card. It is discharged to the outside of the machine by the discharge portion 44f and handed over to the player. In addition, the display control unit 44g performs display control in order to display the cumulative number of medals (cumulative game value amount), which is the payout amount related information accumulated by the JP control device 41, on the display unit 44h.

The flow of processing in the JP game system according to this embodiment will be described below. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing in the JP game system.

(Initialization Processing) In this JP gaming system, when introducing the slot machine 1, first, the progressive device 40 performs an initialization processing for identifying each slot machine 1 (S1). In this initialization processing, the output port of the sub control circuit board 21 in each slot machine 1 is connected to the data reception circuit 44i of the display / payout device 44, and then each slot machine 1 is powered on. When the store clerk presses an initialization button (not shown) provided on the progressive device 40, the CPU 41a of the JP control device 41 causes the ROM 4
The initialization execution program stored in 1c is executed, and an ID output command that causes the CPU 44a of the display / payout device 44 to output ID that is identification information is output. The CPU 44 of the display / payment device 44 which has received the ID output command
The a confirms that the slot machine 1 is connected to the slot machine 1, and if the slot machine 1 is connected, sends the ID stored in the ROM 44c to the CPU 41a of the JP control device 41. When the ID is received from each display / payout device 44, the CPU 41a of the JP control device 41 stores in the ROM 41c an ID table that associates each ID with the output port to the display / payout device 44 in the data transmission / reception circuit 41f.
Record it in. As a result, the JP control device 41 can identify each slot machine 1 in the subsequent processing.

When the initialization process is completed, this JP
A game can be played in the game system. The player bets a medal and plays a game in the slot machine 1. Depending on the winning combination, the player pays out the medal, or the BB game or the R game.
B play a game. After the initialization process is completed, the JP control device 41 in the progressive device 40 is also used.
The CPU 41a outputs to the display / payout device 44 a display command for displaying the initial value (for example, 500) of the cumulative number of medals stored in the ROM 41c. The CPU 44a of the display / payout device 44 that has received this display command causes the display control unit 44g to display the above-mentioned initial value accumulated medal number on the display unit 44h. The cumulative number of medals displayed on the display unit 44h is updated each time cumulative addition is performed by the JP addition process described later.

In the present embodiment, each ID registered in the ROM 41c of the JP control device 41 in the progressive device 40 by the initialization processing is the one previously recorded in the ROM 44c of the display / payout device 44. However, the ID may be manually assigned by a store clerk. In this case, for example, the display / payout device 44 is provided with an ID input means such as a DIP switch, and the ID inputted by the ID input means is recorded in the ROM 44c of the display / payout device 44.

Further, in the present embodiment, the initial value of the cumulative number of medals is predetermined, but the clerk of the store may arbitrarily change the initial value. In this case, it is necessary to provide the progressive device 40 with an input device as a game value amount input means operated by a clerk or the like. A touch panel, a changeover switch, or the like can be used as this input device. In the case of a touch panel, a store clerk or the like touches the touch panel in the initialization process to input an arbitrary cumulative number of medals or select one initial value from a plurality of initial values. Further, in the case of a changeover switch, in the initialization processing, by operating the changeover switch, one initial value is selected from a plurality of initial values. CPU 41a of JP control device 41
Is a cumulative game value amount determining means, determines the cumulative number of medals based on the input information to the input device, and then functions as a cumulative game value amount recording means, with the cumulative number of medals as an initial value. RO as quantity recording medium
Record on M41c.

The slot machine 1 used in this JP game system has a function of outputting a part of the game information generated by the main control circuit board 17 from the output port 21k to the progressive device 40 via the sub control circuit board 21. have. Here, the data transmission circuit 17f of the main control circuit board 17 and the data input circuit 21i of the sub control circuit board 21 can communicate only from the main control circuit board 17 side. Therefore, the sub control circuit board 2
It is not possible to communicate from the 1 side to the main control circuit board 17, and it is also impossible to communicate from the progressive device 40 side to the main control circuit board 17. Therefore,
The progressive device 40 is illegally modified by a player or a staff member of a pachinko parlor, so that the progressive device 40 does not illegally control the main control circuit board of the slot machine 1 to perform an illegal game.
Even when a port capable of input / output is adopted instead of the output port 21k of the sub control circuit board 21 to enable bidirectional communication between the sub control circuit board 21 and the progressive device 40, As long as the sub control circuit board 21 side cannot communicate with the main control circuit board 17, the progressive device 40 side cannot communicate with the main control circuit board 17.

(JP Addition Processing) In this embodiment, in the JP addition processing performed by the progressive device 40, the number of medals BET (payment amount) paid to the slot machine 1 for the player to play a game is used as game information. During the game, the CPU 41a of the JP control device 41, the medal BE
It is determined whether or not the medal IN information indicating the T number has been input (S2). The number of medals BET is determined by the player operating the start lever 6. Therefore, the CPU 17a of the main control circuit board 17 immediately after the start lever 6 is operated, the medal BET.
The medal IN information indicating the number of coins, specifically, one pulse signal is output to the data transmission circuit 17f. Then, the medal IN information is output from the data transmission circuit 17f and input to the data input circuit 21i of the sub control circuit board 21 under the control of the transmission timing control circuit 17g. The medal IN information input to the data input circuit 21i is CP
The data is output from the output port 21k by the U21a and received by the data receiving circuit 44i of the display / payout device 44 in the progressive device 40. And that medal IN
The information is output from the data transmission / reception circuit 44j by the CPU 44a of the display / payout device 44 and received by the data transmission / reception circuit 41f of the JP control device 41, and then the CPU 41a.
Sent to.

Upon receiving the medal IN information, the CPU 41a of the JP control device 41 functions as an addition means, and adds "1" as the addition amount to the cumulative number of medals stored in the ROM 41c as the cumulative game value amount recording medium. Processing is performed (S3). The medal IN information is one medal B
Since it is generated each time an ET is made, the cumulative number of medals is calculated by BE players who play in all slot machines 1.
This indicates the total number of medals that have been T.

In the present embodiment, the number of medals betted by the player is added as it is to the cumulative number of medals, but the number of medals betted by the player is 0.
A value obtained by multiplying a predetermined value such as 5 or 1.5 may be added to the cumulative number of medals as an addition amount. in this case,
By appropriately setting the predetermined value, it is possible to appropriately adjust the number of medals to be paid out in the JP game. In addition, one may be added to the cumulative number of medals every time the player makes 100 bets. Further, in the present embodiment, all the number of medals betted by the player is used as the added amount, but only the number of medals betted when the player loses without winning any part in the internal lottery in the slot machine 1. May be used as the addition amount. In this case, the number of medals betted when the internal lottery in the slot machine 1 is missed, but the number of medals bet when the internal winning is not achieved and the winning combination is lost may be processed as the additional amount. Further, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the CPU 17a of the main control circuit board 17 causes the medals OU indicating the number of medals to be paid out to the player.
The T information is output to the data transmission circuit 17f. The medal OUT information is, specifically, a one-pulse signal transmitted for each medal payout number. The medal OUT information is output from the data transmission / reception circuit 44j by the CPU 44a of the display / payout device 44, received by the data transmission / reception circuit 41f of the JP control device 41, and then sent to the CPU 41a. Therefore, like the medal IN information described above,
The amount of addition determined based on the medal OUT information may be added to the cumulative number of medals. Further, the addition amount may be determined based on the medal IN information and the medal OUT information described above. For example, C of the JP control device 41
The difference between the number of medals received based on the medal IN information and the number of medals received based on the medal OUT information received by the PU 41a within the predetermined period is determined as the addition amount.

(JP lottery process) Also, in the JP lottery process performed by the progressive device 40, the BB end information indicating that the BB game is finished is used as the start information which is the lottery start condition (judgment start condition). Therefore, during the game, the CPU 41a of the JP control device 41 determines whether or not the BB end information is input (S4). The output condition of this BB end information is that the player wins a BB and wins a BB.
A game is played, which is satisfied when the BB game is finished, and the ID is output from the CPU 17a of the main control circuit board 17 in the slot machine 1 to the progressive device 40 via the sub control circuit board 21. That is, in the present embodiment, the CPU 17a that executes the internal lottery performed during the game of the slot machine 1 functions as the output condition determining means. Specifically, while the BB game is being played in the slot machine 1, a BB game operation signal is sent from the CPU 17a of the main control circuit board 17 via the sub control circuit board 21 to the C of the JP control device 41.
It is output to the PU 41a. Then, in the present embodiment, when the BB game operation signal is turned OFF, this is recognized by the CPU 41a of the JP control device 41 as BB end information.

The CPU 41a of the JP control device 41 which has received the BB end information and the ID functions as a lottery means which is a payout condition determining means by executing the JP lottery program stored in the ROM 41c, and performs the JP lottery process. Perform (S5). In this JP lottery process, the random number generation circuit 4
CPU based on random number data sent from 1e
41a is checked against the JP lottery table stored in the ROM 41c. This JP lottery table associates each random number with “win” or “miss”. By being associated in this way, the JP bonus is won or lost with a predetermined lottery probability. When the JP bonus is won by the JP lottery process, the payout condition is satisfied.

In this embodiment, the BB end information which is the lottery start condition output from the slot machine 1 is BB.
When the game ends, the output is unconditionally output, but an output determination process for determining whether to output the BB end information may be performed. This output determination processing is performed by the CPUs 17a and 21a of the main control circuit board 17 or the sub control circuit board 21, which function as output condition determination means. In this case, for example, at the end of the BB game or the like, it may be determined whether or not to perform a lottery and output. Further, for example, the output condition may be appropriately set, and the BB end information may be output when the output condition is satisfied at the end of the BB game or the like. The output condition at this time is, for example, BB performed in the slot machine 1.
The cumulative number of games or RB games and the cumulative number of replays can be used.

Further, in the present embodiment, the lottery probability in the JP lottery process is predetermined, but it may be changed by a store clerk or the like. In this case, for example, JP lottery tables having mutually different lottery probabilities are prepared, and one JP lottery table is selected from among the plurality of JP lottery tables by the store clerk, or the lottery probability is directly determined by the store clerk. .. At this time,
The CPU 41a of the JP control device 41 functions as a lottery probability determining means, and determines the JP lottery table used in the JP lottery process according to the operation content of the clerk. With such a configuration, the store can have a lottery probability in the JP lottery process according to time and day, and the JP
It is possible to control the payout rate of the entire gaming system. Although it is necessary to provide the progressive device 40 with an input device operated by a clerk or the like, the same input device as that used for setting the initial value of the cumulative number of medals can be used.

(JP Payout Process) It is judged whether or not the JP bonus is won in the JP lottery process (S6). If it is judged that the JP bonus is won, the CPU 4 of the JP control device 41 is judged.
1a functions as a gaming machine identifying means and is a winning BB
The output port of the data transmission / reception circuit 41f is specified by comparing the ID sent together with the end information with the ID table recorded in the ROM 41c. As a result, JP
The CPU 41a of the control device 41 can recognize the slot machine 1 of the winning player. And CPU
The output port of the specified data transmission / reception circuit 41f outputs a payout command for paying out medals of half the cumulative number of medals stored in the ROM 41c.
This payout command is input to the CPU 44a of the display / payout device 44 installed in the slot machine 1 of the winning player, and the CPU 44a stores medal data corresponding to the number of medals according to the payout command in the card recording unit 44e. Is recorded on the magnetic card (S7).

When recording on the magnetic card is completed, display / display
The CPU 44a of the payout device 44 outputs a card ejecting command to the card ejecting unit 44f, and the card ejecting unit 44f which receives the command ejects the magnetic card on which the medal data is recorded to the outside of the machine. As a result, the player can obtain half of the cumulative number of medals by receiving the magnetic card. The magnetic card preferably has a display unit for displaying the number of medals so that the player can confirm the number of recorded medals, and is preferably reusable. The player is
The medal data recorded on this magnetic card can be exchanged for prizes in the same manner as medals.

When the CPU 41a of the JP control device 41 recognizes the winning slot machine 1 of the player, this J
You may make it output the display command which displays the machine number of the slot machine which was elected with respect to all the slot machines 1 which comprise P game system. In this case, the display command is input to the CPU 44a of the display / payout device 44 installed in each slot machine 1, and the CPU 44a
a indicates the unit number related to the display command by the display control unit 44g.
Is displayed on the display unit 44h. With this configuration, it is possible to inform all the players playing in the JP gaming system of the winning player.
Such an effect can enhance the playability.

Further, the CPU 41a of the JP control device 41
After outputting the payout command, performs a process of changing the cumulative number of medals stored in the ROM 41c to 1/2 (S
8). As a result, on the display unit 44h of the display / payout device 44 of each slot machine 1, the cumulative number of medals, which is half the number of cumulative medals displayed immediately before, is displayed. As a result, in the subsequent JP addition processing, the addition processing is performed with the cumulative number of medals as an initial value. If all of the cumulative number of medals is paid out to the winning player, the number of medals paid out to the next winning player will be very small, greatly reducing the player's expectation for the JP game. It may come off. Therefore, in consideration of this point, the ratio of payout to the won player out of the cumulative number of medals is appropriately set.

[Modification 1] In the JP payout process of the above embodiment, the payout is made to the player with a magnetic card in which medal data corresponding to the number of medal payouts is recorded.
Modification of JP payout processing (hereinafter, this modification is referred to as “Modification 1”).
Say. ) Will be described. In this modified example, instead of paying out medals to the progressive device 40 by the payout device 43, the number of medals to be paid out is displayed on the display section 44h constituting the display device 42, and the clerk directly checks the displayed number of medals to be paid out. Hand over the medal to the player. Therefore, the progressive device 40 of the present modified example is not provided with the card recording unit 44e and the card ejection unit 44f in the above-described embodiment, and other components related to payout of medals.
Incidentally, the JP game processing in the present modified example is different from the JP payout processing in the above-described embodiment, so the following JP
Only the payout process will be described.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing in the JP game system according to the first modification. JP
When the JP bonus is won in the lottery process, the CPU 41a of the JP control device 41 recognizes the slot machine 1 of the winning player, and outputs the ROM 41c from the output port of the data transmission / reception circuit 41f for the slot machine 1.
The payout command for paying out the half of the cumulative number of medals stored in is output. This payout command is displayed on the slot machine 1 of the winning player.
It is input to the CPU 44a of the payout device 44. CPU44
The display controller 44g causes the display controller 44g to display the number of medals to be paid out according to the payout command on the display 44h (S7).
At this time, the display unit 44h functions as a payout amount notification unit. Further, when the payout command is output, the CPU 41a of the JP control device 41 performs a process of changing the cumulative number of medals stored in the ROM 41c to 1/2 (S8).

Further, the CPU 41a of the JP control device 41
Turns on the lamp of the display / payout device 44 installed in the winning slot machine 1, or plays a voice from the speaker or the like provided in the progressive device 40 that the slot machine 1 has won the JP bonus. Inform the store clerk about this. Further, the information that the slot machine 1 has won the JP bonus may be transmitted from the progressive device 40 to the wireless device possessed by the clerk. In this case, the payout amount notifying means is configured by the transmitter for transmitting the information and the wireless device possessed by the management computer or the store clerk.

In this way, the clerk who knows that he or she has won the JP bonus goes to the place of the slot machine 1 and confirms the number of medals to be paid out displayed on the display section 44h, and confirms the number of medals to be paid out. A medal or a magnetic card on which medal data corresponding to the medal is recorded is handed over to the player. After finishing the delivery, the clerk operates a reset switch (not shown) provided on the display / payout device 44 (S9). As a result, the operation signal from the reset switch is sent to the CPU 44a of the display / payout device 44. Then, the CPU 44a uses the JP control device 41.
In response to the display command sent from the display control unit 44g
Thus, the display content of the display section 44h is switched to the current cumulative number of medals (S10).

According to this modification, unlike the above-described embodiment, a mechanism for recording and ejecting medal data on the magnetic card is not required, and the cost can be kept low. It should be noted that other methods of paying out medals to the player include, for example, if the JP bonus is won, the number of medals to be paid out to a computer that manages medals or the like of a store or a wireless device owned by a clerk. The number of the slot machine 1 or the like may be transmitted. In this case, the clerk can carry the medals to be handed over to the player in advance, and can go to the place of the winning slot machine 1, which is efficient. Further, instead of the magnetic card, the medal itself may be directly handed over to the player.

Further, according to this modification, it is possible to provide the player who has won the JP bonus with various payout methods. For example, the display unit 44h
For the store clerk who has confirmed the number of medals paid out displayed on, the player is allowed to specify a prize corresponding to a part or all of the number of medals paid out, and the clerk brings the prize. Can provide services. Also,
According to the player's request, it is possible to provide a service in which a part of the payout number of medals displayed on the display unit 44h is delivered with medals and the rest is delivered with a prize. Further, according to the player's request, instead of subtracting a predetermined number from the number of medals paid out displayed on the display section 44h, the stage setting key switch 19b of the slot machine 1 is operated to obtain a value higher than the current set value. It is also possible to provide a service in which the setting value with a high internal lottery probability is changed. These services may be selectable by the player.

[Modification 2] In the above embodiment, the JP addition processing for adding the number of medals BET of the player to the cumulative number of medals has been described, but one modification of the JP addition processing (hereinafter, this modification will be described). "Modification 2" will be described. In this modified example, when the player misses a "medal payout combination" that is a "small combination" during the game of the slot machine 1, if the player can arrange the combination, the number of medals that the player should have acquired The (planned payout amount) is used as game information.

In the second modification, if a medal payout combination is missed during a game in the slot machine 1, the CPU 17a of the main control circuit board 17 outputs the missing information indicating the missing combination to the data sending circuit 17f. . Then, similar to the medal IN information in the JP addition processing of the above embodiment, the missing information is received by the progressive device 40 via the sub control circuit board 21 and sent to the CPU 41a of the JP control device 41.
Therefore, in this modification, it is determined whether or not the missed information is input in S2 in the processing of the above-described embodiment shown in FIG.

Here, in the progressive device 40 of the present modification, the ROM 41c of the JP control device 41 stores a missed coin number table in which each medal payout combination and the number of coins to be paid out are associated with each other. C of the JP control device 41 that received the missing information
The PU 41a illuminates the dropout number contained in the dropout information on the dropout number table, and recognizes the number of medals paid out of the dropout role. And the CPU 41
"a" functions as an adding means, and performs a process of adding the number of paid-out medals as an addition amount to the cumulative number of medals stored in the ROM 41c.

As described above, in the second modification, the number of medals paid out, which should have been obtained by the winning combination of the player, is added to the cumulative number of medals. As a result, 1/2 of the medals scheduled to be paid out to the player will be returned to the player who has won the JP bonus, and the payout rate in the JP game system can be easily managed.

[Modification 3] Next, another modification of the JP addition processing (hereinafter, this modification will be referred to as “Modification 3”) will be described. When a combination of symbols related to the BB combination, which is one of the special winning modes, is completed during the game of the slot machine 1, the player can obtain a large number of medals in the BB game. Specifically, the player, in the BB game,
As described above, the number of medals to be paid out by aligning the “medal payout combination” during the BB general game and the number of coins paid out by aligning the “jack prize combination” during the jack game when the game is transferred to the RB game (actually You can get medals of payout amount. The maximum number of medals to be paid out to the player by the BB game (maximum planned payout amount) is
It can be theoretically predicted by a lottery table or the like used in the general game in BB. Therefore, the player can theoretically win the maximum number of medals payout by performing the BB game, and the maximum number of medals payout medals can be paid out by the BB game. It is planned for managing the payout rate.

Therefore, in this modification, the slot machine 1
During the game, the combination of symbols related to the BB combination, which is one of the special winning modes, is prepared, and the number of medals (actual payout amount) that the player has acquired by playing the BB game is deducted from the maximum medal payout number. The number of medals thus obtained is added as an addition amount. The BB acquisition information including the number of medals acquired by the player by performing the BB game is used as the game information required when performing this addition process.

Specifically, when the BB game is finished in the slot machine 1, the CPU 17a of the main control circuit board 17
Outputs the BB acquisition information indicating the number of medals paid out to the player during the BB game to the data transmission circuit 17f. Then, similar to the medal IN information in the JP addition processing of the above embodiment, the BB acquisition information is received by the progressive device 40 via the sub control circuit board 21 and sent to the CPU 41a of the JP control device 41. Therefore, in the present modification, it is determined whether or not the BB acquisition information is input in S2 in the processing of the above-described embodiment shown in FIG. Then, the CPU 41a functions as an addition unit, and performs processing for adding the number of medals included in the BB acquisition information as an addition amount to the cumulative number of medals stored in the ROM 41c.

As described above, in the third modification, the player plays BB.
The number of paid-out medals that should have been obtained during the game is added to the cumulative number of medals. As a result, 1/2 of the medals scheduled to be paid out to the player will be returned to the player who has won the JP bonus, and the payout rate in the JP game system can be easily managed.

[Modification 4] Next, still another modification of the JP addition processing (hereinafter, this modification will be referred to as “Modification 4”) will be described. When the "replay part" as the replay winning combination, which is the "small part", is completed during the game of the slot machine 1, the number of medals (planned payment amount) carried over to the next game by the replay part is used as the game information. To use.

In Modification 4, when the replay combination is completed during the game in the slot machine 1, the main control circuit board 1
The CPU 17a of 7 outputs replay information, which is replay information including the number of medals betted by the player in the game, to the data sending circuit 17f. Then, similar to the medal IN information in the JP addition processing of the above-described embodiment, the replay information is received by the progressive device 40 via the sub control circuit board 21, and the CP of the JP control device 41 is received.
It is sent to U41a. Therefore, in this modified example, it is determined whether or not the replay information is input in S2 in the processing of the above-described embodiment shown in FIG. Then, the CPU 41a functions as an addition unit, and the ROM 4
A process of adding the number of medals included in the replay information as an addition amount to the cumulative number of medals stored in 1c is performed.

As described above, in the modified example 4, the player plays BB.
When the replay combination is aligned during the game, the number of medals carried over is added to the cumulative number of medals. That is, the replay combination which is conventionally only given the privilege of being able to play again without betting medals has a meaning as a combination for increasing the number of medals paid out by the JP bonus. Therefore, the player can be made interested in the replay role, and the playability in the game at the slot machine 1 can be improved.

[Fifth Modification] In the above embodiment, the JP lottery processing for automatically performing the JP lottery after the BB game is finished has been described. However, one modification of the JP lottery processing (hereinafter, this modification Modification 5 "will be described. In this modified example, the player who has finished the BB game is given the JP lottery right to perform the JP lottery, and the player is allowed to select whether to exercise or hold the lottery right. Since the JP game processing in this modification is different from the JP lottery processing in the above-described embodiment, only the JP lottery processing will be described below.

FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing the flow of processing in the JP game system according to the fifth modification. JP
When the CPU 41a of the control device 41 receives the BB end information and the ID in the JP lottery process (S4), it causes the player to determine whether to carry out the JP lottery (S11). At this time, for example, the display / payout device 44 is provided with selection buttons as a judgment refusal means and a judgment permission means, and
When the B game is over, the player is prompted to operate the selection button. The player can select whether or not to carry out the JP lottery by operating the selection button. When the player selects to perform the JP lottery, the selection button outputs a lottery permission signal, and the lottery permission signal is input to the CPU 41a of the JP control device 41. As a result, the CPU 41a executes the JP lottery program and performs the same processing as in the above embodiment (S6).
S7, S8).

On the other hand, when the player selects not to perform the JP lottery, the selection button outputs a lottery refusal signal, and the lottery refusal signal is the CP of the JP control device 41.
It is input to U41a. The CPU 41a receiving this lottery refusal signal receives the ID received together with the BB end information.
The lottery suspension processing for recording the lottery suspension information in the ROM 41c is performed in association with (S12). After that, the process returns to S2 again, and the JP addition processing is executed.

In this way, when the player who has suspended the JP lottery aligns the BB role again and finishes the BB game, BB
The end information and the ID are received by the CPU 41a of the JP control device 41 (S4). Then, when the player selects to perform the JP lottery (S11), the CP
JP lottery processing is performed by U41a (S5). In the JP lottery process, if the JP bonus is lost,
The CPU 41a receives the ID received together with the BB end information.
Based on, it is determined whether the lottery suspension information is recorded in the ROM 41c (S13). In this decision,
If it is judged that lottery hold information is recorded, CP
U41a again causes the player to determine whether or not to carry out the JP lottery (S11). On the other hand, if it is determined that the lottery suspension information is not recorded, then the process returns to S2 and J
The P addition processing is executed.

As described above, in the modified example 5, when the BB game is completed, the player is given a lottery right to perform the JP lottery, and the lottery right is given to the player before performing the JP lottery. You can choose whether or not to exercise. As a result, for example, a player who wants to obtain a larger number of medals sees the cumulative number of medals displayed on the display unit 44h of the display / payout device 44, and when he / she thinks that the number is small, he / she can select the lottery right from the next time. It becomes possible to hold the game until the end of the BB game. The pending lottery rights
Since it is possible to exercise as many as the reserved number at the end of the BB game, when the cumulative number of medals increases, it is possible to continuously draw lots, and the player has a greater chance of winning a large number of medals. .

In the fifth modification, the display / payout device 44 is provided with a selection button, but a selection device separate from the display / payout device 44 may be installed. In addition, modified example 5
In the above, the judgment refusal means and the judgment permission means are provided on the progressive device 40 side, but they may be provided on the slot machine 1 side. In this case, the sub-control circuit board 21 of the slot machine 1 is connected to a selection button or the like as the judgment refusal means and the judgment permission means, and the lottery refusal signal and the lottery permission signal from the selection button or the like are sent to the sub-control circuit board 21.
Through the CPU 41a of the JP control device 41. In the JP lottery, the BB end information output from the slot machine 1 is the CPU 41a of the JP control device 41.
The slot machine 1 is provided with a selection button as an output refusal means and an output permission means for selecting whether to reject or permit the output of the BB end information at the end of the BB. Good. In this case as well, similar to the modification 5, it is possible to obtain the effect of holding the lottery right according to the judgment of the player.

[Modification 6] Next, another modification of the JP lottery process (hereinafter, this modification will be referred to as “Modification 6”) will be described. In this modified example, on the progressive device 40 side, a pre-JP lottery is performed in which a JP bonus right for generating a JP bonus is drawn. After the JP bonus right is generated by this pre-JP lottery process, A medal is paid out by the JP bonus to the player of the slot machine 1 that first outputs the BB end information.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing in the JP game system according to Modification 6. The CPU 41a of the JP control device 41 in the present modification is BB
When the end information is input (S4), first, it is determined whether the JP bonus right is generated (S14). In this determination, when it is determined that the JP bonus right has not been generated, the CPU 41a of the JP control device 41 functions as a precondition determining means, and similar to the JP lottery process in the above embodiment, the pre-JP lottery process is performed. (S1
5). In this pre-JP lottery process, when the JP bonus right is won (S16), the CPU 41a of the JP control device 41
Performs JP bonus right generation processing for establishing a flag that allows the JP bonus to be generated (S17).

When the flag is established by the JP bonus right generation process, when the BB end information is input for the first time, it is determined in S14 that the JP bonus right has been generated. The BB end information functions as payout condition establishment information, and the output port 2 as the establishment information output means in the sub-control circuit board 21 of the slot machine 1.
From 1k, display / payout device 4 of progressive device 40
Data receiving circuit 4 as establishment information input means 4
4i is input. Then, after the flag is established, BB is first
When the end information is input to the CPU 41a of the JP control device 41, the slot machine 1 of the player who has won the JP bonus is recognized based on the ID received together with the BB end information, and the slot machine 1 The same JP payout processing as in the above embodiment is performed (S7, S8). When this JP payout process is completed, the CPU of the JP control device 41
41a clears the flag (S18).

As described above, in the modified example 6, the pre-JP lottery is carried out based on the BB end information output from all the slot machines 1, and the JP bonus is won unless the pre-JP lottery is won and the JP bonus right is generated. You can't guess. Once the JP bonus right is generated, this J
Among the slot machines 1 constituting the P game system, the player who finishes the BB game with the earliest BB combination is paid out the medals by the JP bonus. Therefore, after the JP bonus right is generated, it is possible to provide an unprecedented game property that the BB role is prepared earlier than the other player, that is, a game property that the JP bonus is exchanged with another player. .

[Structural Example 1] In the above embodiment, the JP game system including eight slot machines 1 as shown in FIG. 2 has been described.
A configuration example in which one progressive device 40 is installed (hereinafter, this configuration example will be referred to as “configuration example 1”) will be described. FIG. 10 is a schematic configuration diagram of the entire JP game system according to Configuration Example 1. In this JP game system, a housing provided with a JP control device 41 and a display / payout device 44 similar to that of the above embodiment is installed between two slot machines 1.

In this case, only the display device 42 may be commonly used like the display / payout device 44 of the configuration example 1, and the payout device 43 may be installed individually for each slot machine 1. On the contrary, only the payout device 43 may be commonly used like the display / payout device 44 of the configuration example 1, and the display device 42 may be individually installed for each slot machine 1.

[Configuration Example 2] Next, another configuration example in which one progressive device 40 is installed for two slot machines 1 (hereinafter, this configuration example will be referred to as “configuration example 2”) will be described. FIG. 11 is a schematic configuration diagram of the entire JP game system according to Configuration Example 2. In this configuration example,
Only the JP control device 41 of the progressive device 40 is installed between the two slot machines 1 together with other devices such as a medal lending machine, and the display / payout device 44 is installed above each slot machine 1. There is. Therefore, the display / payout device 44 is used for each slot machine 1 as in the above embodiment.

[Structure Example 3] Next, each slot machine 10
An example of the configuration of the JP game system including the hall computer 150 provided in the store for monitoring 1 and the like (hereinafter, this configuration example will be referred to as "configuration example 3") will be described. FIG. 12 is a schematic configuration diagram of the entire JP game system according to Configuration Example 3. In recent years, in a pachinko parlor, each slot machine 101 in the store and the hall computer 150 are communicably connected to each other, and the hall computer 150 collectively manages the information of each slot machine 101. For example, the hall computer 150 collectively manages information on the number of medals received by each slot machine 101 from the player (medal IN information) and information on the number of medals paid out to the player from each slot machine 101 (medal OUT information). ing. If such collective management is performed, the real payout rate of the entire store can be grasped in real time, and the store operation can be appropriately and smoothly performed.

Generally, when the slot machine 101 is connected to the hall computer 150, the slot machine 10
A standardized external substrate 132 is attached to 1. The external board 132 is connected to the output port 17i of the main control circuit board 17 shown in FIG. The main control circuit board 17 may be provided with a dedicated port, and the external board 132 may be connected to the dedicated port. In the present configuration example, although not shown, an output terminal for outputting the above-mentioned pulse signal which is the medal IN information and an output terminal for outputting the above-mentioned pulse signal which is the medal OUT information are output port 17i. An output terminal for outputting the BB game operation signal described above and an output terminal for outputting the RB game operation signal described above are provided.
Further, when the signal from the external board 132 is to be input to the main control circuit board 17, the external board 132 is connected to the dedicated port or the input port 17h of the main control circuit board 17.

As this signal, for example, there is a stop cancellation signal for canceling the stopped state of the slot machine 101 satisfying a predetermined stopping condition, which is also used in this configuration example. Therefore, in this configuration example, the input port 17h is provided with an input terminal (not shown) for inputting the cancellation signal. The stop cancellation signal is output from the hall computer 150. Whether or not the stop state of the slot machine 101 is canceled is determined by the hall computer 150.
Managed by the side. The information communicated between the main control circuit board 17 and the hall computer 150 via the external board 132 is not limited to the above-mentioned information. For example, the replay information described in Modification 4 may be communicated between the main control circuit board 17 and the hall computer 150 via the external board 132.

The external board 132 is the main control circuit board 1.
Each of the output terminal and the input terminal provided on the output terminal 7 is provided with a terminal. Further, the external board 132 includes an external output terminal or an external input terminal connected to the hall computer 150 so as to correspond to each terminal connected to the main control circuit board 17. On the other hand, the hall computer 150 includes the slot machines 101.
A data receiving circuit 151 for receiving the medal IN information and the like output from, and a data transmitting circuit 152 for transmitting a stop cancellation signal to each slot machine 101 are provided. When the medal IN information or the like output from the output terminal of the main control circuit board 17 is input to the terminal of the external board 132, the external board 132 transmits the medal IN information or the like to the hall computer 150 from the external output terminal. Then, the medal IN information and the like are sent to the control unit (not shown) of the hall computer 150 through the data receiving circuit 151. On the other hand, when the cancellation release signal output from the data transmission circuit 152 of the hall computer 150 is input to the external input terminal of the external board 132, the external board 132 outputs the cancellation release signal to the main control circuit board 17.
Send to. As a result, the stop cancellation signal is input to the input terminal of the main control circuit board 17.

Here, in the present configuration example, among the information and the like output from the external board 132 of each slot machine 101, the medal IN information and the BB game operation signal are also transmitted to the progressive device 40 as shown in the figure. To be done. The progressive device 40 receives the medal IN information from the external board 132 via the data receiving circuit 41g.
Then, as described above, the JP addition processing for adding the cumulative number of medals based on the medal IN information is performed. In addition, the progressive device 40 includes a data receiving circuit 41g.
When the BB game operation signal from the external board 132 is received through the BB start information, the JP lottery process is performed in the same manner as above with the BB start information.

As described above, in the JP game system according to the present configuration example, JP addition processing and JP are performed by using the medal IN information and the BB game operation signal transmitted from the external board 132 of each slot machine to the hall computer 150.
Perform lottery processing. In this case, regarding the communication system,
The present JP gaming system can be constructed only by adding the progressive device 40 to the existing equipment including the slot machine 101 and the hall computer 150. Specifically, the data output circuit 41 provided in the progressive device 40 is connected to the external output terminal of the external board 132.
Just connect g. Therefore, it is not necessary to change the configuration or replace the existing slot machine 101 and the hall computer 150 in order to introduce the present JP gaming system, and it is possible to facilitate the introduction of the present JP gaming system into a store. Further, in this configuration example, the progressive device 40 is not interposed between the existing slot machine 101 and the existing hall computer 150. Therefore, even if the progressive device 40 goes down, it does not affect the operation between the slot machine 101 and the hall computer 150. Even if the hall computer 150 goes down, the slot machine 101
It does not affect the operation between the progressive device 40 and the progressive device 40. Therefore, the stability of the entire gaming system of the store is improved.

[Structure Example 4] Next, another structure example of the JP game system including the hall computer 250 as in the structure example 3 (hereinafter, this structure example is referred to as "structure example 4") will be described. To do. FIG. 13 illustrates J according to the configuration example 4.
It is a schematic block diagram of the entire P game system. The hall computer 250 of this configuration example is provided with an external output circuit 253 for transmitting the medal IN information received from each slot machine 101 to the progressive device 40, in addition to the configuration described in the above configuration example 3. Has been. Then, when the progressive device 40 receives the medal IN information from the hall computer 250 by the data receiving circuit 41g, the medal IN information is received in the same manner as described above.
A JP addition process for adding the cumulative number of medals is performed based on the information. The external output circuit 253 of the hall computer 250 receives the BB received from each slot machine 101.
The BB start information based on the game operation signal is also transmitted to the progressive device 40. This BB start information is output from the external output circuit 253 when the BB game operation signal from the slot machine 101 is input to the hall computer 250. Then, when the progressive device 40 receives the BB start information from the hall computer 250 by the data receiving circuit 41g, it performs the JP lottery process as described above.

As described above, in the JP game system according to the present configuration example, the JP addition processing and the JP lottery processing are performed by using the medal IN information and the BB game operation signal of each slot machine 101 received by the hall computer 250. In this case, as in the case of the configuration example 3, as for the communication system, the present JP gaming system can be constructed by simply adding the progressive device 40 to the existing equipment including the slot machine 101 and the hall computer 250. You can Moreover, according to this configuration example, the JP game system can be constructed only by connecting the progressive device 40 to the hall computer 250. Therefore, it is not necessary to change the configuration or replace the existing slot machine 101, and the progressive device 4
The laying work is easier than when 0 is connected to each slot machine 101. Therefore, the introduction of this JP game system into a store can be facilitated. Further, in this configuration example, the progressive device 40 is provided between the existing slot machine 101 and the existing hall computer 250.
Does not intervene. Therefore, even if the progressive device 40 goes down, it does not affect the operation between the slot machine 101 and the hall computer 250.

[Structure Example 5] Next, another structure example of the JP gaming system including the hall computer 150 as in the structure example 3 (hereinafter, this structure example is referred to as "structure example 5"). explain. FIG. 14 illustrates J according to the configuration example 5.
It is a schematic block diagram of the entire P game system. In the present configuration example, the progressive device 340 is interposed between each slot machine 101 and the hall computer 150. The progressive device 340 of the present configuration example includes a data receiving circuit 341g for receiving medal IN information and the like output from each slot machine 101, and a data transmitting circuit 341 for transmitting a stop release signal to each slot machine 101.
h and a data transmission / reception circuit 341i for transmitting / receiving data to / from the hall computer 150 are provided.

The stop cancellation signal output from the hall computer 150 to each slot machine 101 is temporarily sent to the data transmitting / receiving circuit 34 of the progressive device 340.
1i is received. The termination cancellation signal thus received is sent to the data transmission circuit 341h as it is, and the predetermined slot machine 101 is sent from the data transmission circuit 341h.
Sent to. Further, the medal IN information, medal OUT information, BB game operation signal and RB game operation signal output from the external board 132 of each slot machine 101 to the hall computer 150 are once sent to the data receiving circuit 341g of the progressive device 340. Be received. Among the information thus received, medals OUT which are not used by the control unit 341 of the progressive device 340.
The information and the RB game operation signal are sent to the data transmission / reception circuit 341i as they are, and the data transmission / reception circuit 341i is transmitted.
From the computer to the hall computer 150. On the other hand, of the information received by the data receiving circuit 341g,
The medal IN information and the BB game operation signal used by the control unit 341 of the progressive device 340 are first sent to the control unit 341. This control unit 341 uses the above-mentioned J
It has the same function as the P control device 41, and based on the medal IN information and the BB start information by the BB game operation signal,
The JP addition processing and the JP lottery processing are performed as described above. Further, the control unit 341 sends the medal IN information and the BB game operation signal received from the data receiving circuit 341g to the data transmitting / receiving circuit 341i. As a result, the medal IN information and the BB game operation signal are also transmitted to the data transmitting / receiving circuit 341.
It is transmitted from i to the hall computer 150.

As described above, in the JP game system according to the present configuration example, the progressive device 340 is interposed between each slot machine 101 and the hall computer 150. However, this progressive device 340
Simply, each slot machine 101 and hall computer 1
It only functions as a relay device for information communicated with the communication device 50. That is, even in the case of this configuration example, the progressive device 340 itself is not the slot machine 1.
No. 01 main control circuit board 17 cannot be communicated with. This is because the medal OUT information passing through the progressive device 340 without passing through the control unit 341, the stop release signal, and the like are transmitted to the progressive device 3 through the control unit 341.
The same applies when passing 40. Even when the progressive device 340 is passed through the control unit 341, the communication of information that is not used for the original processing function of the progressive device 340, that is, the processing function related to the JP game is the same as when the progressive device 340 is simply passed. That's why.

As described above, according to the present configuration example, the progressive device 34 is operated by the player, the pachinko parlor staff, or the like.
When 0 is illegally modified, the progressive control device 340 causes the main control circuit board 17 of the slot machine 1 to change.
Can be controlled illegally, and illegal games can be suppressed. Also in this configuration example, the above configuration example 3
As in the case of, the JP game system can be constructed only by adding the progressive device 40 to the existing equipment including the slot machine 101 and the hall computer 250. Therefore, it is not necessary to change the configuration or replace the existing slot machine 101 and the hall computer 150 in order to introduce the present JP gaming system, and it is possible to facilitate the introduction of the present JP gaming system into a store. Also, in general, the hall computer 150
Is installed in a place away from the slot machine 101, and the progressive device 340 is installed near the installation place of the slot machine 101. Therefore, as in the above configuration example 4, the slot machine 101 and the hall computer 25.
If the configuration in which 0 is connected and the hall computer 150 and the progressive device 40 are further connected is adopted, it is difficult to lay out cables and the like that connect these, and the laying work becomes complicated. On the other hand, in the present configuration example, the slot machine 101 and the progressive device 340 are connected, and the progressive device 340 and the hall computer 150 are further connected. Laying work is also easy.

As described above, according to the present embodiment and each modification and each configuration example, the cumulative number of medals is cumulatively added based on the game information such as the medal IN information from the slot machine 1 to win the JP bonus. Half of the cumulative number of medals is paid out to the player. As a result, the player can acquire a large number of medals at one time, which can increase the player's willingness to play. In addition, the functions necessary for applying the slot machine 1 to the JP game system include medal IN information and B
Since it is a function generally provided in the existing slot machine 1 such as B end information, the present JP gaming system can also be applied to the existing slot machine 1.

On the other hand, it is possible to configure the present JP gaming system with the dedicated slot machine 1 instead of the existing slot machine 1. When the slot machine 1 for exclusive use is configured as described above, for example, the slot machine 1 is provided with an ID output device as an identification information output means, and the slot machines 1 output from the display / payout device 44 in the above embodiment. Each slot machine 1 itself may output an ID for identifying the above. Its ID
May be unique to each slot machine 1 or may be manually assigned an ID by a store clerk. When manually allocating IDs, for example, an ID input means such as a DIP switch is provided inside the slot machine 1, and the ID input by the ID input means is used for RO in the main control circuit board 17 or the sub control circuit board 21.
Record in M17c, 21c, etc.

Further, in the above embodiment, part of the JP game processing such as the JP lottery processing performed on the progressive device 40 side can be configured to be performed on the slot machine 1 side. For example, in the above embodiment, the JP lottery process, which was performed on the progressive device 40 side, is performed on the slot machine 1 side, and the lottery result is displayed on the progressive device 4 side.
It is output to 0, and the JP payout process is performed on the progressive device 40 side. In this case, for example, a winning combination of the JP bonus can be put in the lottery target of the internal lottery performed in the slot machine 1, and the JP lottery process can be incorporated in the normal game in the slot machine 1. For example, as a winning combination of the JP bonus, when two symbols related to the BB combination are arranged on the pay line, a so-called tempai state, the JP lottery process is started, or the symbols related to the replay combination are different colors. Alternatively, the JP lottery process may be started when a replay combination is completed by preparing a pattern of a pattern or a pattern and stopping a pattern of a specific color or pattern on the winning line. In addition, the JP lottery process may be performed at the timing when the BB role, the RB role, or the like is won, or the JP lottery process may be separately performed without any relation to a normal game in the slot machine 1.

When the JP lottery process is carried out on the slot machine 1 side, the lottery probability in the JP lottery process may be changed by a store clerk or the like. In this case, the same configuration as that for changing the lottery probability of the JP lottery process in the above embodiment can be used. At this time, the CPUs 17a, 21a of the main control circuit board 17 or the sub control circuit board 21 of the slot machine 1
Functions as a lottery probability determination means, and determines the lottery probability used in the JP lottery process according to the operation content of the store clerk. An input device such as a DIP switch operated by a store clerk or the like needs to be provided in the slot machine 1, but the same input device as that for selecting the lottery probability in the above embodiment can be used. With such a configuration, it is possible to individually set the probability of hitting the JP bonus with respect to the plurality of slot machines 1, and the slot machine 1 that is easily hit by the JP bonus in the present JP gaming system.
Then, it is possible to make the slot machine 1 that is hard to hit the JP bonus. As a result, it is possible to provide a service such as preparing a special slot machine 1 in which it is difficult to obtain a medal in a normal game, but the JP bonus is easy to hit, depending on the business policy of the store. Become.

Incidentally, in the above-mentioned embodiment and each modified example and each structural example, the medal I related to the game of the slot machine 1 is used.
Although the case of performing the cumulative medal number addition processing based on N information and the like has been described, the cumulative medal number addition processing may be performed based on information that is not relevant to the game of the slot machine 1. For example, in the sub game prepared for the slot machine 1, the JP addition process may be performed when an event occurs in which a predetermined number is added to the cumulative number of medals.

Further, in the above-described embodiments and the like, the case where the JP lottery process is started based on the BB end information has been described, but other signals can be used as the start information serving as the lottery start condition (judgment start condition). it can. For example, instead of the BB end information, the BB start information indicating that the BB game has started may be used. In this case, the CPU 41a of the JP control device 41 is configured to recognize that the BB game operation signal turns ON as BB start information. Also,
In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, while the RB game is being played, the RB game operation signal is sent from the CPU 17a of the main control circuit board 17 to the CPU 41 of the JP control device 41.
It is output to a. Therefore, similar to the BB end information and the like described above, the RB start information and the RB end information can also be used as the start information serving as the lottery start condition. Also,
During the game of the slot machine 1, a special game state called an AT game is prepared in which the player is notified of the internal lottery result and the symbol corresponding to the winning combination internally won by the player is easily aligned on the effective pay line. What is done is known. The slot machine having such a structure is used in the JP according to the present embodiment.
When applied to a gaming system, similar to the BB end information described above, for example, AT start information and AT end information regarding the AT game can be used as start information that is a lottery start condition. Further, the medal IN information and the medal OUT information of the slot machine can be used as the start information which is the lottery start condition. In this case, for example, the JP lottery process is started each time the cumulative number of medals recorded in the ROM 41c of the JP control device 41 reaches a predetermined prescribed number. At this time, the CPU 4 of the JP control device 41
For example, 1a recognizes the slot machine that is the transmission source of the medal IN information used for the addition when the cumulative number of medals has just reached a predetermined prescribed number, as the slot machine of the winning player. Incidentally, when the medal IN information and the medal OUT information of the slot machine are used as the start information which becomes the lottery start condition in this way, the slot machine wins the JP lottery process after the player who has finished the game leaves the slot machine. May occur. On the other hand, when using the above-mentioned BB start signal or the like as the start information that becomes the lottery start condition, it is difficult to think that the player is away from the slot machine in the slot machine that wins in the JP lottery process. It is possible to prevent a slot machine that does not have a win. Further, in the JP gaming system in which the stop release signal is transmitted from the hall computers 150 and 250 as in the above-mentioned configuration examples 3 to 5, the stop release signal may be used as the start information which is the lottery start condition. it can. In this case, the progressive device 4
0 and 340 receive start information that is a lottery start condition output from a device different from the slot machine 101. Then, according to the received start information, it is determined whether or not the predetermined slot machine 101 satisfies the predetermined payout condition. The information used as the start information that is the lottery start condition is not limited to any one piece of information such as the BB end information described above, but may be two or more pieces of information.

Further, in the above embodiment and the like, as described above, the medal IN information and the medal OUT information from each slot machine 1 are input to the CPU 41a of the JP control device 41. Thus, the JP control device 41 can store the medal IN information and medal OUT information received from all the slot machines 1 within a predetermined period, for example, if the JP control device 41 stores the medal IN information.
It is possible to grasp the number of medals received and the number of medals paid out of the entire gaming system. Therefore, the JP control device 41 is
Based on the medal IN information and the medal OUT information received within the predetermined period, the actual payout rate of the entire JP gaming system can be grasped. Therefore, if the CPU 41a of the JP control device 41 is caused to appropriately change the addition amount to the cumulative number of medals or the lottery probability of the JP lottery process according to the actual payout rate, the profit of the store It is possible to secure a stable value.
Specifically, for example, when the actual payout rate is higher than the planned payout rate of the store, the amount added to the cumulative number of medals is reduced or the winning probability of the JP lottery process is lowered.

In the above embodiment, the JP control device 4
A configuration has been described in which a store clerk or the like of the store can arbitrarily change the initial value of the cumulative number of medals by operating the input device provided in 1. However, similarly, various configurations can be changed by the store clerk or the like of the store. It is also possible. For example, the game information used for determining the added amount of the cumulative number of medals may be arbitrarily selected by a store clerk or the like from the medal IN information, the missing information, etc. described in the above embodiments and the like. Good. In addition, the method of determining the amount of addition to the cumulative number of medals determined based on such game information, the store clerk etc. arbitrarily from among the methods described in some of the above embodiments and other methods You may make it selectable. Further, the start information serving as the lottery start condition in the JP lottery process may be arbitrarily selected by the store clerk or the like from the BB end information, the RB start information and the like described in the above embodiment and the like. In this way, if the various settings relating to the JP games performed in this JP game system can be arbitrarily set by the store clerk or the like, proper store operation can be performed for each store, and multiple JP game systems can be used. It may be possible to execute an appropriate JP game even if the game machine is composed of a variety of game machines. For example, a slot machine using the JP game system in the above embodiment, and BB
When it is configured with a slot machine that executes the AT game instead of the game, the former can use the BB start information and the latter can use the AT start information as the start information that is the lottery start condition in the JP lottery process. Become. In this case, since the output frequencies of the BB start information and the AT start information are different between the two types of slot machines, the expected values to be won by the JP lottery process are also different from each other. At this time, if the store clerk of the store or the like appropriately changes the lottery probability used in the JP lottery process according to the type of slot machine, it is possible to eliminate the expected value difference between the slot machine models. Therefore, it is possible to execute a proper JP game even when the JP game system is configured with different types of slot machines. Also, this JP
Even when the game system is composed of three or more types of slot machines, or when it is composed of slot machines and pachinko machines, it is possible to execute appropriate JP games in the same manner. In addition, if the store clerk or the like can arbitrarily change the setting in this way, it becomes easy to replace the new model introduced at the store when applying the JP game system, thereby facilitating the operation of the store. You can also

Further, in the above-described embodiment and the like, at least a part of the cumulative number of medals is paid out to the player won in the JP lottery process. For this reason, the player who has won the JP lottery process before the cumulative number of medals has increased cannot acquire too many medals. Therefore, until the cumulative number of medals increases to some extent, JP
The expectation of winning by the lottery process is low for the player. For example, immediately after the store is opened, since the number of players is small and the number of games is small, the number of accumulated medals is small. As a result, the expectation of the player for winning the JP lottery process is low. In order to suppress such a decrease in expectations,
Instead of paying out at least a part of the cumulative number of medals as in this embodiment, a predetermined number of medals may be paid out. With this configuration, a certain degree of expectation can be given to the player. In this case, for example, JP
The degree of expectation of winning in the lottery process can be made constant. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the variation in the degree of expectation due to the visit time, and to further facilitate the store operation. By using this configuration, a certain number of medals are paid out to the player who is won before the cumulative number of medals reaches a predetermined number, and a certain number of medals is paid to the player who is subsequently won. It can also be configured to issue.
At this time, the fixed number of medals paid out to the player is
Since the number of medals to be paid out is greater than the number of medals to be paid out in accordance with the cumulative number of medals, the result is a loss on the store side. In order for the store side not to lose,
For example, the number of medals lost by the store may be compensated by the cumulative number of medals thereafter.

Further, in the above-described embodiment and each modification and each configuration example, the JP gaming system constituted by a plurality of slot machines 1 installed in the same store has been explained, but a plurality of stores in different places. It is also possible to build a JP game system including the slot machines 1 installed in each. In this case, the JP control device 41 is installed in a management center or the like in a predetermined place, and the JP control device 41 and the display / payout device 44 installed corresponding to the slot machine 1 of each store are Configure a network connected by telephone lines. With such a configuration, it is possible to provide a larger-scale JP game system and further increase the number of medals to be paid out to the player who has won the JP bonus.

[0158]

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment and each modified example and each structural example, the case where the slot machine 1 is used as the gaming machine which constitutes the JP gaming system has been described, but it is installed in a pachinko machine, a game center or the like. It may be another game machine such as a medal game machine. In particular, this JP game system, the game machine and the progressive device 40
