Abstract

PURPOSE:To give a feeling of large satisfaction and amplify sufficiently an amusement of a digital type pin ball machine in large prize winning with various expressions such as messages by providing a renewal deceleration means for decelerating renewal speed before the renewal of display feed is stopped and a slip stopping means for overrunning the display symbol selectively right before the stoppage. CONSTITUTION:When a display is renewed by a dot matrix type variable display device 4, feed renewal, i.e., display symbols are successively renewed while being displaced in the predetermined direction, so that the display symbols are changed over to flow in the predetermined direction. Thus, while the display symbol and the change-over thereof become easy to view, the display symbol can be selectively overrun right before the stoppage of display symbol renewal. Hence, a feeling of expectation is amplified concerning whether or not the display symbol is stopped at a desired one as the renewal speed is decelerated. Also, various displays such as messages can be indicated by a dot matrix type variable display device.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a pachinko machine that allows special games to be played depending on the combination of display symbols such as numbers.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, there has been a variable display device such as a 7-segment type that converts and displays symbols such as numbers depending on winnings of balls hit in a specific winning hole provided in a gaming area, and a 2. Description of the Related Art Pachinko machines are known that are equipped with a variable winning device that converts a special game mode in which a ball cannot be received into a special game mode in which it is easy to receive a ball, depending on a combination of display symbols.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in such pachinko machines, the display on the variable display device is digitally converted and updated, so the display is intermittent, difficult to see, and has little change. In addition, when stopping the variable display device, the conversion speed is slowed down before stopping, but since the display changes intermittently, there is a feeling of anticipation as to whether it will stop at the target display or not, which may lead to a jackpot. There is a problem in that expectations for pachinko are low and the flavor of pachinko games is lost.

Note that a variable display device such as a 7-segment type can only display predetermined symbols such as numbers, so it is not possible to express messages, etc. using the variable display device.

The object of this invention is to provide a pachinko machine that solves these problems.

(Means for Solving the Problems) As shown in FIG.
A dot matrix type variable display device 101 capable of displaying symbols such as symbols, a display updating means 103 that sends and updates the display of the variable display device 101 in accordance with winnings of balls hit into specific winning holes 102, and Display stopping means 1 to stop
Special game by combining 04 and the display symbol when the feed update stops! The apparatus is provided with a variable prize winning device 105 for converting the feed rate to 100 degrees, an update deceleration means 106 for decelerating the update speed before stopping the feed update, and a sliding stop means 107 for selectively overrunning the display symbol immediately before the feed update is stopped.

(Operation) When the display is updated by the dot matrix type variable display device 101, the display is updated in advance, that is, the display symbols are sequentially updated while being displaced in a predetermined direction, so the display symbols are switched in a flowing manner in the predetermined direction. Therefore, while it is easier to see the display symbols and the switching of the display symbols, it is also possible to selectively overrun the display symbols just before the display update stops, which allows you to check whether the display stops at the target display as the update speed slows down. expectations are fully raised. Furthermore, the dot matrix type glue changing device 101 enables various displays such as messages.

Note that when setting and applying test data, random numbers are updated as shown in FIG. 24(B) (described later).

Figure 18 shows the flow of phase 2. The output information edited in phase 4 is sent to subroutine NMIIN.
At T (FIG. 25 (E)), the count is output to each output boat (described later) and fraud detection processing is performed. In the fraud detection processing, if the count switch 23 is turned on continuously for 1.992 seconds or more, for example. Or, if the short circuit continues for 1.992 seconds or more: (2, o2 ~ 2.09>, set the corresponding fraud flag and determine that there is fraud (2.10, 2゜18
). Also, if the count switch 23 is not turned on within 2 seconds of turning on the cycle switch 24 during the special game jackpot operation (described later) (2.02 to 2.09.

In addition, when the count switch 23 is turned on, a request is made to output the winning sound, and when switching steps, a continuous sound is requested to be output (3.16.3.27).

After 3.30 in FIG. 19(C), when the sequence timer is 0, game processing corresponding to the execution step number is entered (3.35 to 3.45).

In S'rEPO (check the stored number), the stored information of the winning switch 21 is determined (3.001>), and if there is no stored, the process moves to phase 4. If there is storage, update the storage information (-1) L, set the rotation control counter of the digital 44 to rotation, set the output delay time of decorations (each lamp, LED, etc.) to the sequence timer, and execute Change the step number to “t” and move to phase 4 <3

In 5TEPI (monitoring the start timing of decorative expression), set the light-off information of the display LEDs 51εL to 51c, set the output amount of the digital rotation sound (lft to Cera 1, and set the natural stop time (digital rotation possible time) to the sequence timer. ), the execution step number is changed to °゛2°°, and the process moves to phase 4 (3101 to 3.104).

5TEI) In 2 (monitoring the end of natural stop time), set a random time that is the rotation time of the digital 44 in the sequence timer, change the execution step number to °゛3゛, and move to phase 4 (3.201 .3.202).

At 5TEP3 (determining the stop symbol), the left digital of the digital 44 (screen 44a), the middle digital (both sides 44b)
), the rotation stop data for the right digital (screen 44c) is created. Here, the display pattern of each digital, the random number and random time for creating the rotation stop data will be explained.

Display symbols There are 16 types of display symbols for left, middle, and right digital as shown in Figure 26 (A), and the variation order (rotation order) is left, middle, and right digital.
Both right digital images are from top to bottom of the figure. The numbers in parentheses in the figure are the numbers handled by the program. In addition, there are 16X16X16=4096 possible combinations of the displayed symbols, among which the combination that results in a jackpot is 1 as shown in Figure 26 (B).
There are 7 ways.

The main random number RANDOM, the display random number DISPDT excluding the jackpot, the sub-copy number 5UBGEN, and the jackpot symbol selection random number HITPOI are used as the random numbers.

The main random number RANDOM is a random number that generates the jackpot probability, and is composed of a binary counter from 0 to 239. It is updated by adding "7" to the original value at every reset interrupt, and if it becomes 240 or more. generates a value between 0 and 239 by subtracting 240. When this RANDOM is “θ”, it is considered a jackpot, otherwise DI 5PD
It becomes an outlier depending on the value of T. Therefore, the probability of winning a jackpot is 1 / the total number of combinations of RAN D OM - 1
/240.

The display random number DI 5-PDT is 40 other than the jackpot.
It generates 79 display symbol combinations, 2
It consists of a byte binary counter, and is updated by repeatedly adding 679° to the original value until the next reset interrupt using the remainder of the processing time of CF'U, and if it becomes 4079 or more. generates a value between 0 and 4078 by subtracting 4079.

The sub-copy number S LI EI G EN is used to set the random time until the display symbol is determined, etc. It is composed of a 1-byte binary counter, and uses the remainder of the CPLI processing time to wait until the next reset interrupt. The update is performed repeatedly by putting the exclusive OR of bit 6 and bit 0 into bit 0, and sequentially shifting the original bits 0 to 6 to generate 127 bit patterns.

The random number HI TPOI for jackpot symbol selection selects the display symbol when a jackpot occurs, and is composed of a 1-byte binary counter, which returns to its original value at every reset interrupt.
Update is performed by adding 1'', and when the value is 17 or more, 17 is subtracted to generate a value between 0 and 16.

In addition, each random number RANDOM, DI 5PDT, 5UB
GEN, HITPOI update and generation is the second phase of Phase 5.
This is performed according to the flow shown in Figure 4 (B).

1 to 1 Jugado random time consists of 0 hour, β time, 1 hour, 8 hour, and ε time calculated from the sub-circulation number 5 UBGEN.

0 time is to set the output delay time (Fig. 20 (A>) of decorations, and when the pattern starts rotating, S U B
Extract the last six digits of G E N and multiply the extracted value by 2 msec.

β time is used to set the rotation time after the symbol starts rotating (Fig. 20 (B)).
[Extract the last four digits of 1GEN, add 29 to the extracted value, and then multiply by 2ms to find.

The T, δ, and ε times are used to set the stop time (scroll time) of the left, middle, and right digitals, and 1 hour is set at the end of the β time, and 8 hours is set at the end of the fixed IIN of the left digital.
The time is determined at the end of the fixed time of the medium digital (Figure 20 (E)
>, extract the last two digits of 5UBGEN, and add 64 to the extracted value.
It is calculated by multiplying by m seconds and then adding 512 m seconds. During this γ, δ, ε time, the update speed of the corresponding digital pattern is slowed down, and the T, δ, ε time is 512 rn
If it is more than seconds, overrun the pattern to stop,
Stop after overrun (described later).

After correcting the value, the main random number RANDOM is extracted and RAN
If DOM=O, the value that becomes the jackpot symbol corresponding to the value of the random number HITPOI for jackpot symbol selection is selected as a jackpot, and if RANDOM≠0, the value of DISPDT after the above correction is selected as is (3 .301～
3.303). In this case, the occurrence of a jackpot is determined by the value of RANDOM, and since the value of DISPD'r includes the jackpot value, the value of DISPDT is corrected to remove the jackpot value.

Then, the selected value is converted into a three-digit numerical value, and the hundredth place value obtained in subroutine C, 1-IGBCD (Fig. 25 (C)) is set as the stop value of the left digital, and the middle value is Set the value of the - place to the stop value of the middle digital, set the value of the - place to the stop value of the right digital (3.304 to 3.308), initialize the hit flag, change the execution step number to lbi, and start outputting the scroll sound. Set and move to 5TEP4 (3.30

In S'rEP4 (digital stop monitor P; A), update the rotation control counter and stop the digitals in the order of left, middle, and right), retrieve the stop data (stop pattern) of the corresponding digital, and display the corresponding digital. Change the base pointer that indicates the symbol to stop data, and further initialize the offset pointer and scroll timer that indicate the offset amount during the scroll operation of the corresponding digital (3.401 to 3.4
05).

Then, set a fixed time (1 or 2 seconds) in the sequence timer and move to phase 4/\, and when all digital stop processing is completed, change the execution step number to 5°' and move to phase 4 ( 3.406-3.409).

Then, for each reset interrupt, select the control area of the left, middle, and right digitals (the scan pointer that selects the digital that is the target of wholesale), calculate the address of the control area of the current digital using the scan pointer, and then Calculate the address of the digital display area (a VRAM area where digital display contents are stored in the form of bit images; approximately 4 screens of 17×8 dot images are stored).

In digital rotation/scroll control and display control, t
In the case of P-stage operation, the uppercase display data or scroll display data is V
Set to A M (4.147 to 4.149>. Capital letters are displayed during the old stage operation (and during the jackpot operation), and in this case, the UAF 4 of the tesital 44 is displayed in the order of left, middle, and right, for example, in Fig. 27. It expands and contracts as shown in (A) to (C).

If the digital 44 is rotating (according to the information from the rotation limit counter), the left, middle, and right digitals are sequentially rotated in the subroutine PNTUP (FIG. 25 (B)) in FIG. 21 ([3)]. Update the offset pointer indicating offset 1, and update the base pointer indicating the pattern to history 211.
i do (・1.11.5~4117). I wanted to,
Each digital 1 = 1 a, 14b, 44c rotates one dot at a time at reset interrupt j5. In addition, in response to a scroll request after rotation (by the SFF 1 full timer), in this case, the offset pointer is updated in the subroutine PNTUP every 32r seconds of scroll time, and the base pointer is further updated <4.119 to 4.122
>.

Then, if the offset pointer is 0 at the end of the 1st full of the two [a pattern, proceed to 4.129 or later, and if the offset pointer is not 0, update the offset pointer every 32[n seconds (-1)] and becomes O = 1.12
Proceed from 9 onwards (4, 123 to 4128>, this will slow down the pattern update speed, that is, the feed update speed when the digital enters the stop process from rotation. Also, the offset pointer will become O at the end of scrolling. Whether or not it is determined by the above-mentioned 1. δ and ε time, therefore, the symbols to be stopped randomly overrun (forward scroll → reverse scroll).

Figure 28 shows an example of the transition of symbols from digital rotation to stop. At the start of scrolling, the stop symbol [7]
It is converted to the two previous symbols [5], and that symbol [5]
It scrolls 16 times in the vertical direction (one scroll time is 3201 seconds) and stops, and at this time, the stopped symbol [7] randomly overruns depending on the T, δ, and ε times.

After 4129, a digital sound stop request is set,
When the left digital 44a stops, the stop display LED 51a
When the middle digital 44b hits a hit (same pattern as the left digital li lta) and stops, green lighting information is set on the stop display LED 51b,
Furthermore, the right digital 44c is a hit (left, middle digital 4
4a, 44b and the same pattern), the stop display LED
Set green lighting information to 51C (4.129-41
36), the stop display LEDs 51a to 51c light up in green and red when there is no possibility of winning, but turn on in green in order when there is a possibility of winning.

In addition, in 4.139 to 4.146, depending on the operating conditions at the time of jackpot, the display data of uppercase or lowercase letters can be displayed in VR.
Set to AM or set off data.

Display control creates a data table of the time value and upper limit pointer value corresponding to each block at the time of a jackpot (according to the hit flag in Figure 21 (B)), updates the timer for each interrupt, and uses the set time value. If the upper limit is exceeded, the pointer is updated; if the pointer exceeds the upper limit, the address of the display area is set, the block number is updated, and the display process of the selected block is performed (4,151 to 4.157
).

In Figures 22 (A) to (D>), in UNITO (digital display), clear the pointer, set the digital display area, set the display area to the control area, and perform the normal display with winning symbols. (4°1024-4.1026).

Therefore, during the jackpot operation, 0 digits ++:D are lit in order from red to green, green to red, etc. every 128 m seconds. In addition, the control during the digital stop processing is such that, as described in FIG. 21(B), green or red lighting is performed depending on the presence or absence of f-stoppability in a hit.

On the other hand, the decorative LEDs 52a and 52b set the lighting data and the lights-off data in the dynamic lighting control area so as to blink every 64 rn seconds, and the storage number display section 46 stores the storage information (storage number) of the winning switch 21. Lighting data is set in the dynamic lighting control area so that the lights are lit accordingly (4.187 to 4.190>).

Solenoid 61, each lamp 18a to 18g, 42a to

), each mask data pointer is updated, mask data and display data are extracted in subroutine Tl31C1lG, and the logical product of these is set in the dynamic lighting control area (4.195 to 4.208).

Therefore, LED-A indicates the number of continuations, and LED-A indicates the number of continuations.
B displays the number of winnings, and the display is updated segment by segment as shown in FIG. 34(B).

Figures 24 (A) and (B) show the flow of phase 5, in which the output information edited in phase 4 is output to each output port in the subroutine NMIINT (Figure 25 (E)), and ( 5, 01), line editing and its output processing, (5, 02 to 525), and generation of each of the aforementioned random numbers, <526 to 5.32).

NMIINT turns off the digit output, updates the digit pointer, and stores the corresponding segment data (6.501 to 6.503), and lights up the LED for the stop switch 22 when the digital is rotating. 6.504 to 6,507), and if there is no fraud (phase 2), each data is output to the corresponding output port (6508 to 6.512).

For sound output control, scale data (frequency data), sound generation time, sound generation stop time, and volume data (attenuation data) are extracted based on the sound data requested in phase 4, and are sequentially output to the sound generator 77. In addition, if there is fraud, in phase 2), the fraudulent machine is output and the lamps 42a to 42f are blinked.

Next, a game played on the pachinko machine configured as described above will be explained.

First, if the batted ball does not enter the specific prize winning slots 6a to 6c before the batted ball is fired to the gaming section 3 by the batted ball firing device or even if the batted ball is fired to the gaming section 3, then if the batted ball does not enter the special prize winning slots 6a to 6c, as shown in FIG.
) to (C), the previous stopped symbol is expanded and contracted on the digital 44 (4.146 to 4. in Fig. 21 (C)).

．． 214), When the ball fired into the gaming section 3 successfully enters the specific winning slots 6a to 6C, the digital 4
The symbol 4 begins to rotate (3.003 in Figure 20 (A)).
The output delay time of lamps, LEDs, etc. is set by the 0 time obtained from the random number 5UBGEN in Figure 21 (4.115 to 4.117 in B>) (300 in Figure 20 (A)).
4) When the output delay time elapses, the decorative lamp 1.8
a to 18g, 42a to 421' blink, digital rotation a is output, and the stop display LED 51=t to 51c goes out (Fig. 23 (13), Fig. 20 (3.1 of [3>)
01,3.102>. Note that l-IED-A, I3, etc. continue in their previous state.

In this case, the decorative lamp l is delayed from the rotation of the digital 44.
The blinking of 8a to L8g, 42a to 42f' and the output of the digital rotation sound are started, and the delay time is randomly set to 0 hours. It is difficult to press the stop switch 22 when the stop switch 22 is pressed.
This will prevent you from hitting a target.

Next, when the natural stop time of the digital 44 has elapsed or the stop switch 22 is pressed, the random number 5tJBG is
When the β time calculated from EN has passed? digital 44
The scrolling of the symbol a starts (Fig. 20 (C),
4.119 to 4.128 in FIG. 21(B)), at this time, one hour calculated from the random number 5LIBGEN, that is, the scroll time of the left digital 44a is set (FIG. 20<E

From POIf, the jackpot card and the symbols that stop on the left, middle, and right digital 44a to 44c are determined (20th
3301 to 3.308 in Figure (D)>.

As shown in Fig. 28, scrolling is performed at a slow updating speed starting from the god symbol two before the stop symbol, and in this case, the scroll stops when the scroll time elapses, but the stop symbol changes depending on whether the scroll time is longer than a predetermined time. randomly overruns and later returns to the localization value. Note that when scrolling starts, a scrolling sound is output instead of the digital rotation sound (3.311 in FIG. 20(D)).

When the scrolling of the left digital 44a stops, the scrolling of the middle digital 44b starts after a fixed time has elapsed, and when 6 hours (scroll time) according to the random number 5IJBGEN has elapsed, the scrolling of the middle digital 44a stops, and then the fixed time elapses. After that, scrolling of the right digital 4.1c starts, and ε by random number S U 13 G E N
When the scrolling time) has elapsed, the right digital 44

．． 128>, the scrolling of the middle digital 44b and the scrolling of the right digital 44c are also performed as shown in FIG. 28 in the same way as the left digital 44a, and the stopped symbols randomly overrun according to the scrolling time.

When stopping the rotation of the digital symbols 44a to 44c, the symbols are scrolled at a slow speed, that is, the symbols are displayed and updated in a flowing manner using a dot matrix type display device, so L! The I pattern 23 and the pattern changes are very easy to see, so the player can have high expectations as to whether each digital 44a to 44c will stop at the target (winning) pattern. Also, digital 44a
Since the stopped symbols overrun at random just before the stop of ~44c, there is also a window effect, and especially when the overrun symbol or the next symbol is a hit, the expectation of winning is further enhanced by the scroll display.

In addition, as each digital 44a to 44c stops, the stop display LEDs 51a to 51c, for example, when the left digital 442t stops, the corresponding stop display LED 5
1a lights up in green, and then when the middle digital 44b stops with the same pattern as the left digital 44a, the corresponding stop display LED 5
lb lights up in green as well, and the right digital 44c
At this time, if the left and middle digitals 44a and 44t) stop at a different pattern, the stop display LED 51c corresponding to χ·i lights up in red, but when the left and middle digitals 44a and 44c stop at the same pattern, the stop display LED 51c changes to LED51a51.

~4.136).

For this reason, when there is a possibility of winning, digital 44
With the stop of a to 44b, the stop display LEDs 51a to 51
b lights up in green one after another, so the previous LEDs 51a and 51
If b becomes green, you can know that there is a high probability of winning along with the stop symbols of digitals 44a and 44b, and you can also know which symbol the last digital 44c will stop at or whether the last LED 51c will become green. You can get high expectations for the possibility of winning.

Then, the digitals 44a to 44c stop, and if it is not a hit, a miss sound is output and the digitals 44a to 44c return to the normal display (3.502 to 3 in FIG. 20(F)).
505), if the winning result occurs, the following special game will be played. The winning rate is 1/240 depending on the value of the random number RANDOM.
The combination of stop symbols (winning symbols) of digitals 44a to 44c at this time is shown in Figure 26 (B).
carried from within.

Furthermore, after the ball hits the specified person ffD6a-6C,
If a ball hits the special winning slot 6a-□C until the winning/missing 1" determination is made, the number of winning balls will be set as the unprocessed storage number and the memory number display section 46 will light up, indicating that it will be a hit. , After the loss is determined (or after the end of the special game), the above control is repeated again (3. of 19th LJ (A)).
03, 3.04, /1190 in Figure 23(A)).

If there is a win, the attacker (movable members 56a, 5b) of the variable prize winning device 5 will be opened after a predetermined wait time has elapsed, and during this wait time, a fanfare sound will be output, and the LED-A, To B” o

is blinking (4181 to 4.186 in Fig. 23 (A>)
, FIG. 23(B)).

After the winning symbol is flashed on the digital 44, the lowercase, middle and uppercase letters are displayed horizontally in order, as shown in Figure 29, and then the ``deter'' is displayed from below. Next, as shown in Figure 30 (A>, (B)), the doll pattern moves horizontally while doing a banzai, and then as shown in Figure 31 (8), (B). The pattern will be expanded and contracted when hit.

Conventional digital display devices such as 7-segment players only flash the winning symbols when a win occurs, whereas the dot matrix type digital display devices display various characters and symbols using text and symbols. It is possible to display a dynamic and varied display, which increases the fun and joy when a win occurs, and each lamp 18a

Add in the decorative blinking action when you hit a hit such as c, and you get a great sense of satisfaction.

Then, when the wait time has elapsed, the attackers 56a and 56b of the variable prize winning device 5 are opened (FIG. 20(H)).
3.708>, as a result, a large number of batted balls flowing down from above the gaming section 3 are received by the attackers 56a, 56b and flow into the opening 54 from the falling shelf 62 of the variable prize winning device 5. When a ball enters the central continuous operation port 69 or the left and right general winning slots 70a and 70b from the opening 54, the number of winning balls is counted by the count switch 23 when passing through the outlet flow path 71, and the number of winning balls is counted by the count switch 23. When a ball is hit, the cycle switch 24 instructs to continue the next cycle (Fig. 19(B)).
).

The number of winning balls counted during the opening operation of the attackers 56a and 56b is displayed on the LED-B on the front surface of the variable winning device 5 (4.195 to 4.208 in FIG. 23(C)), and the number of winning balls is displayed. When the number reaches 10 or when a predetermined time (29 seconds) has elapsed, the attackers 56a and 56b leap, and the 1 cycle ends (3.20 of 1913(B)).

Also, if the batted ball does not enter the continuous operation port 69 during the opening operation of the attackers 56a and 56b, the next cycle will not continue (3.1004 in Fig. 20 (K)), but if the continuous operation port 69 hits the ball, the ball will not enter the continuous operation port 69. When a prize is won, a cycle continuation sound is output, and the winning symbol of Digital 44 is shown in Figure 31 (A
), it is expanded and contracted as shown in (B) (Fig. 19 ([
3), 327, Figure 21 (D>, 4.161>. Also,
At the same time, the blinking speed of each lamp is switched (FIG. 23(B)). Therefore, during a cycle, the player can confirm that the next cycle can be continued by changes in the display on the digital 44, etc., and can continue playing the game with peace of mind.

Then, the prize entered into the continuous operation port 69 will be decided when a predetermined interval time has elapsed after completing the ■ cycle.
Entering a new cycle, attackers 56a, 56b again
is opened (3.28, 3.29 in Figure 19 (B), 3.708 in Figure 20 (H)), in this case, a fan whistling sound is output during the interval before entering a new cycle, and (3.703 in Figure 20()-1)>
- On the digital 44, as shown in FIG. 32 (A), the characters "nth start" are displayed horizontally in accordance with the number of continuations (4.171.4.172 in FIG. 21 (D>)).

In addition, the display of LED-H of the variable prize winning device 5 is reset, and the number of continuations is displayed on LED-A (Fig. 20 (L)).

, 56b are opened.

When the attackers 56a and 56b are opened in a new cycle, the batted ball enters the opening 54 of the variable prize winning device 5, and when the number of winning balls reaches 10 or a predetermined time has elapsed, the attacker 56a.

56b closes and the cycle ends, and if a prize is won in the continuous operation port 69 while the attackers 56a and 56b are opening, the cycle continuation sound is output as described above, and the winning symbol on the digital 44 is expanded and contracted and displayed. , the blinking speed of each lamp is switched, and a fanfare a is output during the interval before entering the next new cycle,
The characters ``11 START゛'' are displayed on the digital 44, and the L E D-rJ display is reset.
The number of continuations is displayed on LED-A, and Attacker '56a, 5 (Jb) is opened after the interval has elapsed.

These cycles are repeated up to 10 times, where I

, Figure 23 (A>'s 4175-4.180, 23rd UA
(B)) If the cycle is not continued, the jackpot will of course end at that point.

The game is played as shown in 2. Since the dot matrix type digital 44 is used, the display is easy to see and beautiful, and when the symbols on the digital 44 stop rotating, the symbols can be scrolled and displayed randomly. Since it overruns, you can have a high expectation of whether or not it will stop at the winning symbol, and when you hit the jackpot, the digital 41
Letters and U through 1! ! Since the lottery/Z message is expressed by the U pattern etc., the game is highly enjoyable and satisfying, and a high level of interest as a digital pachinko machine is ensured.

In addition, as the symbols on the digital 44 stop, the stop display LEDs 51a to 51c are lit in green or red in order depending on whether there is a possibility of winning, and when a jackpot occurs, the stop display LEDs 51a to 51c and each lamp are turned on. 1
8a-18g, 42a-42f, 19a, 19b, 20
Since a, 20b, 72a to 72c start flashing all at once, a high decorative effect is obtained, and the enjoyment of and joy at the occurrence of a jackpot is increased.

Also, during the opening operation of the jackpot attackers 56a, 56b, if the batted ball enters between the game needles of the groups 73a, 73b above the tips of the attackers 56a, 56b, it will win the prize in the variable winning device 5 with a high probability. However, at this time, the ball hit along the game needle of groups 73a, 731] is of group 7.
Guided by the game needles in groups 74a and 74b provided inside the needles 3a and 73b, the needles pass between the game needles in groups 73a and 73b and the tips of the attackers 56a and 56b, and then the needles in groups 75a and 7
It is guided to the specific winning openings 6b and 6c by the game needle 5b. For this reason, groups 74a, 74b and 75a, 75b
When the attackers 56a and 56b are opened by adjusting the game needle, the specific winning opening 6b is opened.

Many balls hit the 6c ball as well, and when you hit the jackpot, you can get a 1-min profit ball. By the way, a specific person? The winning balls won in 'Jl Coro B and 5C become the stored balls displayed on the memory number display section 46, so when the jackpot ends,
After completion, the digital 44 is rotated according to the storage bulb.

a above the variable winning device 5 and the specific winning openings 6b, 6
Placed in a position forming a triangle with respect to c: 4,
It is easy to see the ball heading towards each specific winning hole r, 'i 6 = t~6c, and even if the ball does not hit the specific winning hole 6a, the ball will head diagonally downward to the specific winning hole 6b, 6c. There are hopes that he will try to win the prize again.

By the way, during normal gaming, specific winning openings 6a to 6c'\
If there is no winning, the digital 44 will not rotate, and at this time, the previous stopped symbol will be shrunk and displayed on the digital 44 (see Figures 27 (A) to (C)), but this state continued for some time. Sometimes, the digital 44 may be used to express detailed messages. At this moment, Digital 4
4 stops (after rotating due to the previous winning) and the stop symbol on the digital 4-1 starts expanding and contracting, the timer is activated, and even if a predetermined period of time elapses, the specified winning slots 6a to 6
If there is no prize in C, the digital 44 is made to express various messages. It is also possible to display a message when the ball launcher is not operating. Messages include ``I'm excited and good luck,'' ``number of jackpots,'' beautiful designs, videos, etc.

Also, during normal gaming, the stop display LEDs 51 a to 51
c is selectively lit in red and green, and decorative LEDs 52a, 52
b blinks, and LEDs A and B light up in a figure 8 pattern (see Figure 34 (A)), but various other lamps also light up and blink while expressing the message. You can do it like this.

In this way, by having the digital 44 express a message even when there is not a jackpot, and by lighting up and blinking each LED, lamp, etc., you can double the fun of playing pachinko, and even brighten up the pachinko machine or the entire island equipment. is possible,
It is possible to sufficiently attract players when choosing a pachinko machine.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the present invention provides a dot matrix type variable display device that can display symbols such as a plurality of numbers, letters, and designs;
A special game mode is created by a combination of a display updating means for sending and updating the display of the variable display device according to winnings of balls hit into specific winning openings, a display stopping means for stopping this feeding update, and a display symbol when stopping the feeding update. In addition, it is equipped with an update deceleration device that reduces the update speed before stopping the feed update, and a sliding stop device that selectively overruns the display symbol immediately before the feed update stops. It is easy to see and clean, and you can have a high expectation of whether or not it will stop when the winning display is displayed.Furthermore, it is possible to express various messages, etc., and you can feel a great sense of satisfaction when you win a jackpot.
