DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Each drawing shows an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a central role of a first-type pachinko game machine, which is a Seven machine, is provided at the center of the game board surface 11 of the game machine. The central role is a liquid crystal screen 41, which has a variable display section 44 and a right item acquisition display section 46.

The variable display section 44 has three picture display fields 44.
a, 44b, 44c, and each picture display field 44a, 44
This is a portion where a predetermined special value is generated when the symbols b and 44c are aligned, and also serves as a right item variable display section.

The right item acquisition display section 46 is a part for displaying the acquired right item.

A start winning port 50 is provided below the variable display section 44.
Are arranged. When the winning detection unit 51 detects a winning ball winning there, the start winning port 50 changes the variable display unit 44.
Is a chucker for operating.

An attacker, which is a variable winning opening, is provided below the starting winning opening 50. The attacker has a movable plate 21 which can be opened and closed in the front-rear direction. When special value is generated by
This is a hitting ball prize winning device that repeatedly opens and closes a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 16 times). The attacker includes a solenoid 22 for driving the movable plate 21 to open and close, a winning counter 23 for counting the winning balls, and a winning detection switch 2 for detecting the winning balls.
Four.

When the pachinko balls enter the attacker, a predetermined number of pachinko balls are paid out. The payout of pachinko balls is performed by award ball payout means (infinite counter). Prize ball payout means,
It comprises a winning ball payout counter 26, a payout setting means 27, and a calculating means 28.

An upper plate 13 is provided below the game board surface 11 for storing the paid-out pachinko balls and sending the pachinko balls to a ball firing device (not shown). A handle 15 for adjusting the operation of the ball launching device to hit the pachinko balls stored in the upper plate 13 into the game board surface is provided at a lower right portion of the gaming machine.

Next to the handle 15, when the pachinko balls are full on the upper plate 13, the pachinko balls are flown and stored, or when the game is stopped, the pachinko balls remaining in the upper plate 13 are lowered. The lower plate 14 is provided.

The control unit of the gaming machine includes a game processing unit 31, a display processing unit 32, a random number generation unit 33 for a right item, a ROM
(Read only memory) and RAM (random access)
memory).

When the generated random number is the following predetermined number, the game processing section 31 controls the execution of the right item generation program recorded in the ROM.

The right item random number generation unit 33 generates a right item random number. The random number is generated as an integer in the range of 0 to 199, and the random number generation routine is initialized before the random number is generated. .

In the generation of the random number, for example, when the random number becomes "0" to "19" (probability 1/10), the right item of "recovery reach" is generated. For example, when the random number becomes “20” to “39” (probability 1/10), a “probable change” right item is generated, and the random number becomes “40” to “5”.
When "9" (probability 1/10), the right item of "re-lottery" is generated, and when the random number becomes "60" to "79" (probability 1/10), the right item of "3 round-up" is generated. When the random number becomes "80" to "99" (probability 1/10), a right item of "losing" is generated. On the other hand, if the random number is “100” or more, no right item is generated.

The display processing unit 32 outputs display information corresponding to the generated right item to the variable display unit 44 and the right item acquisition display unit 46. Specifically, when the random number is “0” to “19”, an item lottery pattern (“power UP”) is displayed in one of the pattern display columns 44a, 44b, and 44c of the variable display unit 44, After each picture display field 44a, 44b, 44c of the variable display section 44 is switched to the right item variable display section, various right items are variably displayed, and then the corresponding right item ("Resurrection Reach")
Is displayed in the central picture display field 44b. Game processing unit 31
Controls the probability of a jackpot according to the generated right item.

On the other hand, when the random number is "100" or more,
Each picture display field 44a, 44b, 44c of the variable display section 44
In one of the items, the item lottery pattern ("power UP") is not displayed (it does not become super reach).

FIG. 5 shows the contents of the right item. “Resurrection reach” means that, when the next reach deviates, the reach is always generated once more, and the reach is always a super reach (one pattern is an item lottery pattern).
The “probable change” is a right item that is in a probable change state until a jackpot is won and a jackpot is promised. "Re-lottery" means that if the next specific symbol (big hit symbol) is a one-shot symbol, it is always re-lottered and selected with a high probability to a probability-changing symbol. “Three round-ups” means that the number of rounds of the next jackpot is three more rounds than usual.

The contents of the right item include, for example, "100 time reductions" and "50 time reductions" other than those shown in FIG. 5, and "100 time reductions" means the variable display section 44 (main drum). Means that the rotation becomes the time saving mode from the next rotation to 100 rotations later.

The right item acquisition display section 46 is for accumulatively displaying the acquired right items. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, while the right item “100 times reduction” is displayed, When the right item of “Resurrection Reach” is acquired, “100 times reduction” and “Resurrection Reach” are displayed together.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. If the right item has not been obtained, nothing is displayed on the right item obtaining display section 46.

When the winning prize port 50 is won (step S)
101: Y), the right item random number generation unit 33 generates a right item random number (an integer from “0” to “199”) (step S102).

Next, the game processing section 31 determines the generated random number (step S103), and sets the random number to "0" to "9".
If it corresponds to “9”, the display processing unit 32 outputs image information related to the right item, and as shown in FIG. 6B, one of the picture display fields 44a, 44b, and 44c of the variable display unit 44. After displaying the item lottery pattern ("power UP"), the variable display section 44 is switched to the right item variable display section (step S104), and as shown in FIG.
After variably displaying various rights items, as shown in FIG. 6D, a rights item corresponding to a random number (“recovery reach”) is displayed (step S105).

Next, the right item acquisition display section 46 displays the acquired right item (step S107). At this time, as shown in FIG.
If the "right" item is displayed, the "revival reach" right item is displayed next to it.

Next, the game processing section 31 executes the right item (step S108), and when the right item ends (step S109: Y), deletes the ended right item from the right item acquisition display section 46 (step S108). S
110).

In the above-described embodiment, there are four types of right items, "Resurrection Reach" to "3 Round Up". However, the right items are not limited to this.
For example, something that is advantageous to the player, such as “time reduction” or “reach three consecutive shots”, may be added. In this case, it goes without saying that the right item is associated with the random number.

Although the probability that each right item is generated is unified to 1/10, the generation probability may be reduced according to the right item that is more advantageous to the player.

[0041]

As described above, in one configuration of the present invention, a predetermined right may be generated when a semi-big hit state is established regardless of a special value. While enjoying the pattern game with the variable display unit, the player concentrates on the game whether or not the variable display unit is in the semi-big hit state, so that the variable display unit displays the right items that are advantageous to the player as much as possible. Players don't just wait until the jackpot,
The user can concentrate on the game and enjoy the game.

In another configuration of the present invention, the player
In a pattern game, if the player reaches a state of reach, he or she may gain successive rights in favor of the player, and until the jackpot is reached, the player can concentrate on the game instead of simply waiting. Yes, playability is improved.

Further, in another configuration of the present invention, the variable display unit displays various rights items before displaying one finally selected lottery item, so that the player can change the variable display unit. Expects to display rights items that are advantageous to the player as much as possible, so that the player can concentrate on the game and enjoy instead of simply waiting until the jackpot, improves.

Further, according to another configuration of the present invention, the right item variable display section is provided in the liquid crystal screen,
Since it becomes possible to fit within the same effective field of view together with the variable display section in which a picture game is played, when two games are played simultaneously, the player does not need to change the field of view and visibility is good.
