Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a display for a pachinko machine, and more particularly to a display of a reach state, a display of the number of rounds after a special game state has occurred, and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a pachinko machine has a symbol display capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of symbols on a plurality of symbol display parts, and by the game machine passing through a specific area,
There is one in which the symbol on the symbol display unit stops after a change for a predetermined time. For example, the symbol display section has three display sections L1 and L.
As shown in FIG. 11, there are 15 types of symbols “0 to 14 (A to O as symbols)” that are configured by 2 and L3 and are variably displayed on each symbol display unit. Then, when the game balls pass through the specific area, the symbol display portions L1 and L are collectively displayed.
The symbols L2 and L3 are variably displayed, and after a predetermined time, first,
The symbol display portion L1 is stopped, and subsequently, the symbol display portion L2 is
Finally, stop in the order of the symbol display portion L3. And the stop symbols of the symbol display portions L1, L2, L3 are all the same symbol,
When there are 15 combinations of "0, 0, 0" to "14, 14, 14", a big hit occurs. Also, the symbol display section L
1, L2, L3 stop design, black number "1",
When there are 5 types of symbols (specific symbols) of "3", "5", "7", and "9", the winning probability of the ordinary electric auditors after the jackpot is increased, and as a result, the jackpot is awarded. It is easy to occur. Depending on the type of pachinko machine, this specific symbol may be the same number as the symbol that causes a big hit or a number less than that (for example, 1/3 or less of the big hit symbol). Here, five types of symbols are selected as in the above example. When the symbol display portions L1 and L2 stop at the same symbol, the symbol display portion L3 that stops at the end as a so-called reach state is the symbol display portion L1 (L2).
Because the same symbol as the above causes a big hit or is of interest to the player, the symbol variable speed of the symbol display portion L3 is slowly changed and stopped. or,
In a so-called third-class pachinko machine, the number of times the special winning opening is opened (the number of rounds) after the right has been generated is determined by the stop symbol on the symbol display section, which is a big hit, to give the player an excitement. There is.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned pachinko machine, the ratio of being in a special game state (for example, a normal electric accessory is highly probable) after a big hit is 1/3 or less. The reach symbol at the previous stage of occurrence, that is, the stop symbol of the symbol display portions L1 and L2 will be of interest to the player, but this ratio is also 1/3 or less. Therefore, in the present invention, the reach ratio is increased to improve the interest of the player. Also, the symbol display portions L1, L2, L3
Is a symbol display portion L1, a symbol display portion L2, a symbol display portion L3
Stop in the order of. Therefore, the reach is the symbol display part L1.
And when the symbols in the symbol display portion L2 match, and are unrelated to the symbol display portion L3. Therefore, for the player, the number of reach is small and the interest is reduced,
It is desired to provide a reach state in consideration of the stop symbols of the symbol display portions L1, L2, L3. Also, the so-called third
In some types of pachinko machines, the number of times the special winning opening is opened (the number of rounds) is selected by stopping the symbols in the symbol display section that are constantly changing when a right is generated, and by determining the symbols that are stopped and displayed. . In this case, the number of rounds is determined at the moment when the right is generated, which is not interesting, so it is desirable to enjoy the process of determining the number of rounds.

[0004]

[Patent Document 1] A pachinko machine according to claim 1 adds a symbol (additional symbol) distinguished by an identification mark in a symbol corresponding to a specific symbol to a symbol in a symbol display section where the symbol is finally stopped. It is a thing. The pachinko machine of claim 2 is
When the stop symbols of the symbol display parts L1 and L3 match a predetermined symbol combination, the symbols of the symbol display part L3 are variably displayed at a speed that the player can identify. The pachinko machine of claim 3, when the stop symbols of the symbol display portions L2 and L3 match a predetermined combination of symbols, the symbols of the symbol display portions L2 and L3 are gathered at a speed that the player can identify. It is variably displayed and is stopped in the order of the symbol display portions L2 and L3. The pachinko machine according to claim 4 is provided with a selection means for selecting the number of rounds after a lapse of a predetermined time after the occurrence of the special game state, and notifies the result. Claim 5
The pachinko machine of (1) notifies a pachinko machine that allows a special game state a plurality of times about each round number selected after the special game state occurs.

[0005]

According to claim 1, the symbol in the symbol display portion which finally stops the symbol is a symbol corresponding to a specific symbol (the same symbol may be used).
A pattern for distinguishing with the identification mark is added. Therefore, the number of combinations that will be a big hit increases, and even if you select a combination of symbols that reduces the proportion of big jackpots to 1/3 or less with the specific symbol, the proportion that displays the reach state of the omen that becomes a big jackpot with the specific symbol Will increase. For example, the symbol display section L
1, the symbol type of L2 is 15, and the symbol of the symbol display portion L3 that stops the symbol at the end is 22 types. Of these 22 types, 7 types are the same symbols as the symbol display portion L1 (L2),
It is a pattern with an identification mark. In this case, the big hit (the symbols of the respective symbol display parts L1, L2, L3 match) becomes 22 kinds, and if the number of the specific symbols is 7, the big hit ratio in the particular symbol becomes 7/22, which is 1/3 of the standard. It is the following.
On the other hand, the ratio of the reach symbol (symbols in the symbol display portions L1 and L2), which is a precursor to a big hit in the specific symbol, is 7 /
The number is 15, which is higher than the conventional ratio of 1/3, and a lot of expectation can be given to the player. Claim 2 does not change the stop order of the stop symbols of the plurality of symbol display portions,
When the symbol display portions L1 and L3 are a combination of predetermined symbols, the variable symbol is displayed in advance so that the player can understand it, and the reach state is set in advance.
Allows prediction of a big hit. Claim 3 changes the symbol display portions L2 and L3 together when the symbol display portions L2 and L3 are a predetermined combination of symbols, and stops the symbols in the order of the symbol display portions L2 and L3. Claim 4
The number of rounds capable of winning a large number of prize balls is determined through the selection means after a lapse of a predetermined time after the occurrence of the special game state, and the number of rounds is notified. Therefore, the player can play with a sense of expectation until the special game state occurs. Claim 5 notifies a pachinko machine that allows a plurality of special game states to occur, for each round number determined after the special game state, and as a result, how many times the special game state is currently present. It is possible to determine whether the game is in progress, and the history of rounds for each special game state is known, and the number of prize balls to be acquired can be estimated.

EXAMPLES Example 1 An example of the present invention is so-called
The “first type pachinko machine” will be described as an example. At approximately the center of the game board 2, there is provided a symbol display unit L arranged as a symbol display unit L1, L3, L2 from the left. or,
The symbols shown in the symbol display portions L1 and L2 are as shown in FIG.
Although 15 kinds of symbols "0" to "14" (A to O as symbols) are displayed, the symbols in the symbol display portion L3 which is stopped at last are "0" to those displayed in the symbol display portions L1 and L2. "14"
Other than 15 types, "1" (design B), "3" (design D), "5" (design F), "7" (design H), "9"
(Design J), "11" (Design L), "13" (Design N)
Although it is the same symbol as, but a symbol (additional symbol) for distinguishing with an identification mark (the numbers are black and white) is added, there are 22 types of symbols. That is, the additional symbol of the symbol display portion L3 is a symbol (the same symbol in this embodiment) corresponding to the specific symbol of the symbol display portions L1 and L2. A normal winning opening 31 is attached to the top of the symbol display L, while the symbol display L
In the lower part of the, there is provided an ordinary electric accessory 34 that can be opened and closed, and ordinary symbol display portions H1 and H for variably displaying numbers.
2 is attached to the symbol display 40. 39 is a special winning opening that opens when a big hit occurs, and when one game ball enters, 15 game balls are discharged as a prize ball.
Regular winning holes 37 and 38 are provided on the left and right sides of the big winning hole 39. In addition, the normal winning opening 32, 33 on the left and right sides of the symbol display L, further, the normal winning opening 35 under the
36 are provided on the left and right, respectively, and by inserting one game ball, seven balls are discharged as prize balls. The gates 44 and 45 disposed on the left and right of the symbol display L start variably the symbols on the normal symbol display portions H1 and H2 by the game ball passing through one of the gates. In addition, 17 is the upper plate,
Reference numeral 18 is a lower plate, and 19 is a firing handle.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described.
When the game ball passes through one of the gates 44 and 45, the symbols (3, 7) in the normal symbol display portions H1 and H2 start variable,
It will stop after about 7.9 seconds. The stopped symbols are "3, 3"
Alternatively, when "7, 7" are aligned, the normal electric accessory 34 is opened for a predetermined time as a hit. In addition, the probability of winning the numbers in the ordinary symbol display portions H1 and H2 is 1/1
It is 0, and specifically, after the power is turned on, 1 is added to the random number every 2.048 ms, and 0 to 99 (100
A cyclic random number up to (type) is formed, and 90 to 99 (10 types) are set as a hit. In addition, at the time of winning and losing, the combination of numbers normally displayed on the symbol display portions H1 and H2 creates a stop symbol random number that alternates 0 and 1 every 2.048 ms, and when hitting, a stop symbol When the random number is 0, "3, 3" is displayed on the normal display portions H1 and H2, and when it is 1, "7, 7" is displayed. On the contrary, when the stop symbol random number is 0, the normal symbol display portion H1, H2
"3, 7" is displayed on the display, and "7, 3" is displayed when the display is 1. The gate 44, while the normal electric accessory 34 is in the open state or while the symbols on the normal symbol display portions H1 and H2 are changing.
The number of game balls passing through 45 is stored up to 4, and after the normal electric accessory 34 is closed, the symbols in the normal symbol display portions H1 and H2 are changed by the number of game balls. Be started.

When the game ball enters the opening or the ordinary electric accessory 34 in the narrow mouth state, the symbol display portions L1, L2 and L3 start symbol fluctuation all at once, and stop after a predetermined time. And
The stopped symbols of each of the stopped symbol display parts L1, L2, L3,
When it matches a preset pattern, it is determined that a big hit has occurred, and the special winning opening 39 is opened. The probability of a big hit is 1 /
240, specifically, 2.04 after the power is turned on.
A cyclic random number of 0 to 239 in which 1 is added is formed every 8 ms, and a specific number (for example, 5) is set as a big hit. or,
At the time of a big hit and at the time of disengagement, the symbols displayed on each of the symbol display parts L1 and L2 are 15 patterns, and the symbols displayed on the symbol display part L3 are any of 22 patterns, and each symbol display part L1 and L.
Symbol counters C1 and C2 (0 to 1) corresponding to 2, L3
4), C3 (0 to 21) are installed, and 2.04 from power-on
The counter C1 is incremented by 1 every 8 ms, and the counter C
Every time 1 is changed from 14 to 0, 1 is added to C2, 0 to 14 which performs a carry operation, that is, a so-called 15-ary operation, and 1 is added to C3 each time the counter C2 is changed from 14 to 0. A cyclic number from 0 to 21 of a binary operation that forms a carry is formed. Then, at the time of a big hit, the symbols of the symbol counter C3 corresponding to the symbol display unit L3 are changed to the symbol display units L1 and L2.
Also, the symbols of all the symbol display portions L1, L2, and L3 are configured to be the same. The symbol display section L
When the symbol 3 is, for example, either 1 (white number) or 1 (black number), the symbol display portions L1 and L2 display 1 (black number), and when the particular symbol is a big hit, the symbol display portion The symbol L3 displays 1 (black number). On the contrary, when it is out, the symbols corresponding to the counters C1, C2, C3 are displayed, but when the values of all the counters are the same,
By adding 3 to the counter C3 of the symbol display portion L3, the symbols are not aligned.

When the symbols of the symbol display portions L1, L2 and L3 are aligned and a big hit occurs, the special winning opening 39 is about 25 seconds,
Alternatively, 10 game balls are opened until a prize is won. During that time, when the game ball enters the specific area 48 formed in the special winning opening 39, the special winning opening 39 is once closed and then opened again,
The number of times of opening is repeated up to 16 times to complete the big hit. Incidentally, when the symbols of the symbol display portions L1, L2, L3 are changing, or when the special winning opening 39 is in the open state, a maximum of four game balls are stored in the normal electric auditors product 34. After the symbols of the symbol display portions L1, L2, L3 are stopped, or when the special winning opening 39 is closed, the variation of the symbols of the entered game balls, symbol display portions L1, L2, L3 is started. To be done.

In the pachinko machine described above, the big hit is
In the case where the stop symbols of the symbol display parts L1, L3, L2 are aligned ("0, 0, 0" to "14, 14, 14") regardless of whether the stop symbols of the symbol display part L3 are black numbers or white numbers 22
On the street. In addition, among the jackpots, a combination of jackpots as a specific symbol is "1 (black number), 1 (black number), 1".
(Black number), "3 (black number), 3 (black number), 3 (black number)", "5 (black number), 5 (black number), 5 (black number)", "7 (black number) Number), 7 (black number), 7 (black number) ”,“ 9 (black number), 9 (black number), 9 (black number) ”,“ 11 (black number), 11 (black number), 11 (Black number) "," 13 (black number), 13 (black number), 13
(Black numbers) ”, the ratio is 7/22 and 1
It becomes less than / 3 and meets the regulation. Then, the big hit is finished, and when the big hit is reached, the symbol display portions L1, L2,
When the symbol L3 is the above-mentioned “specific symbol”, the winning probability in the normal symbol display portions H1 and H2 of the symbol display device 40 is 99/100 (specifically, the winning random number is 2.0.
Add 1 every 48 ms, 0 to 99 (100 types)
The cyclic random numbers up to are formed, and 1 to 99 (99 types) are set as a hit. ), And play a special game state. When this special game state is reached, the winning percentage becomes very high, the numerical aperture of the ordinary electric accessory 34 increases, and the symbol display portions L1, L2, L3 change more and more, and as a result, the jackpot The ratio increases. On the other hand, the symbol display portion L1, which is a sign of a big hit in the specific symbol,
There are 7 ways to reach L2 designs (“1 (black number),
"1 (black number)", "3 (black number), 3 (black number)",
"5 (black number), 5 (black number)", "7 (black number), 7"
(Black numbers) "," 9 (black numbers), 9 (black numbers) "," 1 "
1 (black number), 11 (black number) "," 13 (black number),
13 (black number) ”), the ratio is 7/15, and 1
Greater than / 3. That is, the ratio of reaching with the specific symbol (7/15) is the ratio of winning with the specific symbol (7/2)
It becomes larger than 2). In this way, the symbol of the symbol display portion L3 to be stopped at the end is the same as the symbol display portion L1 (L2), but by adding a symbol with a distinguishable mark (additional symbol), a big hit In the combination of symbols, it is possible to increase the percentage of the reach state of a precursor that is a big hit with a specific symbol without changing the percentage, which invites the interest of the player. In addition, the symbol of the symbol display portion L3 for stopping the symbol at the end is the symbol display portion L.
It does not have to be the same symbol as 1, L2, for example, the symbol of the symbol display portion L3 is a big hit with a symbol or the like corresponding to the symbol indicator L1, L2, and in the symbol or the like, for a specific symbol, It may be configured to be a big hit with a specific symbol. Also, the symbol type of the symbol display portions L1 and L2 is 1
There are five types, but other types may be used.

Next, a display different from the conventional display regarding the reach state of the symbol display portions L1, L3, L2 will be described with reference to FIGS. Symbol display parts L1, L3,
At L2, the design starts changing all at once, and after a predetermined time,
The symbols display unit L1 and the symbol display unit L2 are sequentially stopped, and finally the symbols in the symbol display unit L3 are stopped, but the symbol display unit L1
Even when the stop symbols in the symbol display portion L3 are displayed in agreement with each other, the display is performed so that the reach can be recognized. However, according to the standard, as described above, the stop order is the order of the symbol display portions L1, L2, and L3, and the symbol stop time during the symbol change is within a predetermined time (0.5 seconds). When this standard is changed, for example, the symbols in the symbol display portion L2 and the symbol display portion L3 may be simultaneously stopped. This variable display will be described with reference to FIG. 3. First, even if the symbol (symbol H) of the symbol display unit L1 is stopped, the symbol display units L3 and L2 are variable (a). Then, when the stop symbol of the symbol display unit L3 and the symbol of the symbol display unit L1 are displayed in coincidence with each other, the symbol of the symbol display unit L2 is changing, but the symbol display unit L3 is only about to reach the stop symbol. The variable display is performed at a low speed so that it can be seen, or the design is stopped for 0.4 seconds within the stop time (0.5 seconds) (b). By seeing this state, the player can see the symbol display portion L1,
At least the stop symbols of L3 match, and it can be recognized that the reach is reached, and the stop symbol of the symbol display portion L2 is expected to be a big hit. Then, without changing the stop order, after stopping the symbols (number 0, symbol A) on the symbol display unit L2 (C), the symbols on the symbol display unit L3 are stopped, and the respective symbol display units L1, L3, L2 stop design (7 (black), 7
(Black), 0 (white)) is displayed (d). In this way, when the stop symbols of the symbol display unit L1 and the symbol display unit L3 match, as described above, the reach state is set, and the symbol display unit L3.
By informing the player of the stop symbol in advance, it is possible to play while at least recognizing in advance that the stop symbols of the symbol display portion L1 and the symbol display portion L3 match each other, so that the reach state is more than ever before. Will increase,
It is possible to provide a sense of expectation that will be a big hit. Incidentally, the control method of the symbol display of the symbol display portions L1, L3, L2 is a well-known method, in which the symbol of the symbol display portion L3 is stopped for 0.4 seconds when the symbol matches the above-mentioned condition, and after that, the speed is changed at a high speed. The description will be omitted because it may be controlled so as to perform. or,
In the above example, when the stop symbols of the symbol display unit L1 and the symbol display unit L3 match, the reach is determined as the symbol display unit L3.
Although the stop symbol is recognizable in advance, it may be configured to be carried out only after the big hit is a specific symbol after the big hit ends.

Next, FIG. 4 relates to the display when the stop symbols of the symbol display part L2 and the symbol display part L3 match, and when the stop symbols of the symbol display part L1 and the symbol display part L3 match. Is the same as. Even if the symbol (symbol A) of the symbol display portion L1 is stopped, the symbol display portions L3 and L2 are changing (a). Then, when the stop symbol of the symbol display unit L3 and the symbol of the symbol display unit L2 are displayed in coincidence with each other, the symbols of the symbol display units L3 and L2 are variably displayed together.
From the speed at which each symbol cannot be found, the speed at which it can be found sequentially is set (b). By seeing this state, the player recognizes that the symbol display portion L2 and the symbol display portion L3 have the same stop symbol and reach. Then, the symbol display portion L3,
Align the L2 symbols and display them more slowly (C). The player has a big hit when the symbols in the symbol display portions L3 and L2 are aligned and stops in agreement with the symbol in the symbol display portion L1, so that the player can expect which symbol to stop. After that, without changing the stop order of the symbol display portions L2 and L3, after stopping the symbol (number 7, symbol H) of the symbol display portion L2, the symbol (number 7, symbol H) of the symbol display portion L3 is stopped. Yes (D). In addition, the time until the symbol of the symbol display unit L3 stops after the symbol of the symbol display unit L2 is stopped is a momentary difference, and the player recognizes that the symbols are stopped at the same time. Further, the standard has been changed, and in such a case, it is possible to display the symbols in the symbol display portion L2 and the symbol display portion L3 at the same time. In this way, the symbol display part L
When the stop symbols of 3 and L2 match, unlike the normal case, by displaying the symbols of the symbol display portions L3 and L2 together, the reach state is increased, and these symbols fluctuate slowly. It stops with the same design as the display part L1, and it becomes a big hit, or it is very interesting while the design is changing.
Further, when the symbols stopped and displayed in the symbol display portions L1, L2, L3 are combinations of predetermined symbols, the symbols in the symbol display portions L1, L2, L3 may be variably displayed together.

(Embodiment 2) Next, a so-called "three times right" pachinko machine will be taken up as an embodiment of the present invention. Since this pachinko machine is well known, it will be briefly described. FIG. 5 shows the front of the pachinko machine, and the outer rail 3a and the inner rail 3 are provided on the game board 2 in a substantially circular shape.
A region surrounded by b becomes a game region, and a symbol display device (ordinary symbol display device) 5, which will be described later in detail, is arranged in substantially the center of the game region. This normal symbol display 5 is 1
It is composed of one liquid crystal plate, or a plurality of liquid crystal plates, and various symbols can be variably displayed. In the state shown in FIG. 6, the display is arranged as symbol display portions L1, L3, and L2 from the left. . Further, in the symbol display portions L1 and L2, as shown in FIG. 2 which is the same as the first embodiment, “0” to “14” (as symbols A to
Although 15 kinds of symbols of (O) are displayed, the symbols of the symbol display portion L3 which is stopped at the end include "1" in addition to 15 kinds of "0" to "14" displayed on the symbol display portions L1 and L2. "(Design B)," 3 "(Design D)," 5 "(Design F)," 7 "
(Design H), "9" (Design J), "11" (Design L),
It is the same symbol as "13" (symbol N), but a symbol (additional symbol) that distinguishes it with an identification mark (the numbers are black and white) is added, and there are 22 types of symbols. Also, the symbol display portion L1,
Below L3 and L2, a round selection display L4 for displaying the number of rounds after the right is generated, which will be described in detail later, is attached. Below the normal symbol display 5, a specific passage area 7 (hereinafter referred to as a central gate) through which a game ball can pass is provided, and when the game ball passes through the central gate 7, the symbol display portion L1, The symbols L3 and L2 start fluctuating all at once. Then, after a predetermined time has passed, the symbol display portions L1 and L
The symbols are stopped in the order of 2, L3, and the respective symbol display parts L1, L
2, L3 stop symbols are all the same, "0, 0, 0" ~
When there are 22 kinds of "14, 14, 14" (the stop pattern of the display portion L3 is regardless of whether the numeral as the identification mark is black or white), a big hit is generated. In addition, since the jackpot and the method of selecting the stop symbol at the time of reach (the symbol display portions L1 and L2 are the same symbol) are the same as those in the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted. When this big hit occurs, the openable / closable opening / closing door 9 attached to the ordinary electric accessory 8 maintains the open state for about 5.7 seconds or about 5.7.
Even before the elapse of seconds, five game balls (holding unit 10 described later)
(6 when held in) and closed when winning. In addition, a holding portion 10 for holding a falling game ball is formed in the center of the ordinary electric accessory 8, and is placed on the holding portion 10 when the opening / closing door 9 is closed under the above conditions. The "right" is generated by the game ball passing through the special device operating area 12 which is normally installed in the lower rear portion of the electric accessory 8. While the "right" is generated, the game ball held by the rotating body 16 that rotates once in 10 seconds in the counterclockwise direction attached to the starting winning device 4 enters the starting winning opening (not shown),
The special winning opening 15 is closed after maintaining an open state for a predetermined time (for example, about 9.8 seconds), or if a predetermined number of game balls (for example, 10) are won even within the predetermined time. It is closed to allow a large amount of prize balls to be discharged. still,
After the end of the first right, it is controlled so that the probability of a big hit is high in the normal state until the right is generated twice, so the prize balls won during the first right. At the same time, the prize balls won during the total of three rights will be exchanged for prizes.

There are 15 kinds of all symbols variably displayed on the symbol display portions L1 and L2 of the present embodiment, and the symbol display portion L which is stopped at the end.
There are 22 types of symbols displayed in 3. These are examples 1
It has the same structure as. It is needless to say that the reach state can be displayed as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 even in the pachinko machine of this type for three-times right. FIGS. 6 and 7 show a method of determining and displaying the number of occurrences (round number) in which a right is generated and a large number of prize balls are given to a pachinko machine with the above-mentioned three-time right. FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of the normal symbol display device 5, and symbol display portions L1 and L
A round selection indicator L4 as a means for selecting the number of rounds is provided below 3, L2, and FIG. 7 shows the number of rounds determined above in the symbol display portions L1, L3, L2. is there. In addition, this round selection display L
4 is variably displayable, the symbol to be displayed is the same symbol (FIG. 2) as the symbol display portion L1, and depending on the stop symbol, for example, the stop symbol is "1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11". ,
When the number is "13", the allowable number of rounds is selected to be 16, and the other is selected to be 5. More specifically, the game ball passes through the central gate 7, the stop symbols of the symbol display portions L1, L3, and L2 are aligned to generate a big hit, and then the game ball is placed at the lower rear portion of the ordinary electric auditors' object 8. A "right (special gaming state)" is generated by passing through the installed special device operation area 12. After that, the round selection display L4 is variably displayed for a predetermined time and then stopped (or the symbols are constantly changed at a speed that cannot be recognized by the player, and the game ball passes through the special device operating area 12). By doing so, the fluctuation speed is slowed down so that the player can recognize it, and the symbol may be stopped after a predetermined time). Then, when the stop symbol is "1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13", the allowable number of rounds is 16, and other than that, 5 is set in the symbol display portions L1, L3, L2 of the ordinary symbol display device 5. The allowable number of technique balls displayed and entered into the starting winning apparatus 4 is the number of rounds, and the number of times the special winning opening 15 is opened is determined. FIG. 7 shows the number of rounds selected by the round selection indicator L4 after the right has been generated, for each right occurrence. During the first right, after the first right has been generated on the symbol display portion L1, The number of rounds selected by the round selection display L4, for example,
"5" is displayed. Next, during the second right, the first round number “5” is displayed on the symbol display portion L1 and the round selection display L4 is displayed after the second right is generated.
The number of rounds selected in, for example, “16” is displayed in the symbol display portion L
Display in 3. Similarly, during the right for the third time, for example, “5” is displayed in the symbol display portion L2 together with the number of rounds for the first time and the second time. Further, during the right, the number of winnings to the special winning opening and the number of rounds at that time may be displayed on the display unit, and the selected number of rounds may be displayed after the right disappears.

As described above, since the allowable number of rounds is determined after the right (special game state) is generated, the number of rounds is newly selected regardless of which symbol the player wins. You get a big number of rounds, so you get a lot of fun. In other words, as in the past, it is not decided by the design at the reach stage (big hit) and is newly selected. Also, by displaying the number of rounds for each right (special game state), it is possible to know at a glance what kind of round number has passed, and to know how many times the special game state is currently under way. it can. Further, by displaying in this way, at the game shop, for example, when the number of rounds is displayed as “16, 16, 16”, the player is informed to exchange the prize because the number of prize balls obtained is large. ,
When the number of won prize balls is small like “5, 5, 5”, it becomes the judgment information that allows the player to continue the game without exchanging the prize, which contributes to the improvement of the service. In the above example, the number of rounds is displayed on the symbol display portions L1, L3, L2, but it may be a stopped symbol on the round selection indicator L4. In addition, a round selection indicator L4 is separately provided for selection of the number of rounds, but after the first generation of the right, the symbol is changed in the symbol display portion L1 and the symbol display portion L3 and the third time are changed for the second right. After changing the symbols in the symbol display portion L2, the respective results are shown in the symbol display portions L1 and L.
It is also possible to configure to display on L2 and L3.

Next, in FIG. 8 to FIG. 10, after the reach (the symbols of the symbol display portions L1 and L2 are aligned), the symbol display portion L
The process of reaching the stop symbol 3 will be described. FIG. 8 shows the above-mentioned FIG. 5 in order to apply to a so-called right-type pachinko machine.
It is a modification of the symbol display device 5 shown in FIG. 1 and is composed of one liquid crystal, and the symbol display parts L1, L2, L3 and the fusuma picture part L.
A section is formed in 5 and a pattern is displayed. Further, FIG. 9 shows the symbols displayed in the symbol display portions L1, L2, L3, and the symbol display portions L1, L2 display a total of 12 types of "numerals" and 8 types of "pictures". The pattern display portion L3 displays 10 types of “numbers” and 9 types of “pictures” (including 5 of the same cherry blossoms), for a total of 19 types. In addition, the stop symbols of the symbol display portions L1, L2, and L3, which are the big hits, are 12 kinds in which all the same symbols are arranged. The game ball is the central gate 7 (Fig. 5)
After passing, the symbols in the symbol display portions L1, L2, L3 start to change all at once. Then, after a predetermined time has passed,
When the symbols are stopped in the order of the symbol display portions L1, L2, L3, and the stopped symbols of the symbol display portions L1, L2 are aligned (for example, when they are aligned with "one" shown in FIG. 8), the reach is reached. First, the fusuma picture part L5 is displayed so as to open to the left and right, and "game" is displayed together with the picture of "jar" shown in FIG. The symbols on the symbol display portion L3 are kept variable.
After that, in the fusuma picture part L5, "Odd" shown in FIG.
(B), "even" (c), "picture" (d), "jutsu"
Either (e) or "?" (F) is displayed, and the symbol to be stopped is implied in the symbol display portion L3. That is, when the "odd number" (b) shown in FIG. 10 is displayed in the fusuma picture part L5, any of the odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 5, 7, 9) is selected in the symbol display part L3. . As a result, the player is informed that there is a possibility of a big hit at the time of reach with "one" shown in FIG. When "even", the even number (two,
Since it is 4, 6, 8, and 10), it can be seen that odd numbers are out of alignment in the case of reach. Further, since a picture (cherry, king, middle, shaved, dice) is selected for "picture", it is possible to recognize that the picture is out of reach if the picture is not reach. When "Kou" is displayed, the symbol display section L3 has a high possibility of displaying the same stopped symbol as the symbol display section L1 (L2) (for example, a big hit with a probability of 99%). The player will know that there is a high probability of a big hit at this stage. or,
When "?" Is displayed as it is, any of all symbols (numerals 1 to 10 and 9 kinds of symbols) is selected, so until the symbol of the symbol display unit L3 is stopped, It is unclear whether it will be a big hit. On the other hand, after displaying "?", The design shown in (g) of Fig. 9 (the design in which "Daiyoshi" forms one place and "Skull" forms multiple roulette wheels) may be displayed. In this case, , The roulette spins and "Daikichi" or "Skull" is selected. When the roulette points to "Daikichi", the symbol stopped in the symbol display part L3 is the same symbol as the symbol display part L1 (L2) or the symbol next to it is stopped, so expect to be a big hit. However, since it is out when “Skull” is selected, the symbol display portion L3 is early stopped and displayed, and the state shown in FIG. 8 is obtained.
Further, even if "Skull" is selected, the possibility of a big hit may be left though it is small. After the big hit, a design (not shown) for celebrating the "big hit" is displayed on the fusuma picture part L5. This jackpot has occurred,
The "right" is generated when the game ball passes through the special device operating area 12 which is normally installed in the lower rear portion of the electric accessory 8. At this stage, "right hit" (not shown) is displayed on the fusuma picture part L5 to warn the player to hit toward the starting prize winning device 4 to make the game in which the right is generated advantageous. To inform in order. As described above, after the symbols in the symbol display portions L1 and L2 are aligned and reach, the symbol display portion L3 is previously set.
Since the stop patterns are divided into types and are predictable, the player can be disappointed in the early stage, or, conversely, play a game with the expectation that it will be a big hit, and it will be interesting. be able to. The above-described embodiments are not limited to the pachinko machine of the above-described type, and are effective for other game machines.
