Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pattern combination type pachinko game machine allowing a player to enjoy an exciting game by making the player expect a jackpot with the stopping state of a second display means which stops second and leaving the possibility of jackpot for the player even if the second stopped pattern is different from a first stopped pattern to make the player keep the expectation for a jackpot for a long time. SOLUTION: Display means, on which a prescribed number of several kinds of pattern are arranged and displayed repeatedly, are disposed in three rows in the pachinko game machine. The repeated display of the patterns is stopped one by one, and if all the stopped patterns displayed on the display means are of the same kind, a jackpot is made and many premium balls are paid out. The pachinko game machine has a display control means for controlling the repeated display and the display stop of the display means in three rows. The display control means performs a special next-to win display control to produce a possibility of a jackpot by making a second display means start the repeated display again and stop the repeated display with the same pattern as a first stopped pattern and a third stopped symbol if the second stopped pattern of the second display means which stops second is different from the first stopped pattern of a first display means which stops first and the third stopped pattern of a third display means which stops third is the same as the first stopped pattern.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko game machine provided with a symbol combination display device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When a game ball enters a winning opening, a symbol combination pachinko gaming machine starts a repetitive display in which three rows of display means of a symbol combination display device simultaneously rotate the torso. If the symbols stopped sequentially and all the stopped symbols are the same, many prize balls are paid out at the big hit.

[0003] To give the player a sense of expectation, 2
The second stop is stopped after a specially delayed state (so-called slippage) in which the display speed is repeatedly reduced immediately before the second display means stops and the stop time is extended in a state where the display is likely to stop. If the symbol is the same as the first stop symbol of the first display device that has stopped first, the third display device that stops next is also set to have a high possibility of stopping at the same symbol and causing a big hit. There are examples.

[0004] The player will have a big hit expectation when the second display means slips, and if the second display means stops at the same symbol as the first stop symbol after the slip, the expectation of the big hit will increase. It becomes larger and watches the stop of the third display means.

[0005]

However, if the second display means stops at a symbol different from the first stop symbol, the sense of expectation that has been raised until then is suddenly lost.

If the third display means is shifted by one symbol and stopped after the first stop symbol and the second stop symbol match, the third display means restarts the display again to further reduce the possibility of a big hit. There is an example to be left, but if the first stop symbol and the second stop symbol match and the second stop symbol does not match the first stop symbol, the possibility of a big hit has already been lost. We do not have the expectation.

[0007] The present invention has been made in view of such a point,
The purpose is to obtain the expectation from the state of the stop of the second display means that stops second, and it is possible to obtain once even with the possibility that the second stop symbol is different from the first stop symbol, with the possibility of a big hit. Another object of the present invention is to provide a symbol combination pachinko gaming machine that can maintain an expectation for a long time and enjoy an exciting game.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, a plurality of types of symbols are arranged in a predetermined number and display means for sequentially and repeatedly displaying the symbols are arranged in three columns. In a symbol combination pachinko game machine in which repeated displays are sequentially stopped and a lot of prize balls are paid out when the symbols displayed side by side are the same, a display for controlling each repeated display and stop display of three rows of display means. Control means, wherein the display control means is different from the first stop symbol of the first display means, in which the second stop symbol of the second display means, which has stopped second, is the third stop symbol, of the first display means, which has stopped third. When the third stop symbol of the display means is the same as the first stop symbol, the second display means starts display repeatedly again and the first stop symbol is displayed.
This is a symbol combination pachinko game machine that performs a special reach display control so that it may stop at the same symbol as the stop symbol and the third stop symbol and cause a big hit.

When the second stop symbol coincides with the first stop symbol, the sense of expectation of the big hit naturally increases. However, even if the second stop symbol is different from the first stop symbol, the possibility of the big hit has already been lost. If the third display means stops at the same symbol as the first stop symbol, the second display means repeatedly starts displaying again, stops at the same symbol as the first stop symbol and the third stop symbol, and generates a big hit. It is possible to enter a special reach display control that may be possible, and to enjoy an exciting game with a long expectation.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided the symbol combination pachinko gaming machine according to the first aspect, wherein the first stop symbol and the second
A reach type selecting means for selecting a normal reach in which the stop symbol coincides with the first reach symbol and the third stop symbol and a special reach in which the second display means repeatedly starts displaying, and the reach type selecting means comprises: When the special reach is selected, the display control means performs the special reach display control.

When the reach type selection means selects normal reach or special reach, and the special reach is selected, the display control means makes the second stop symbol of the second display means different from the first stop symbol, and thirdly. The third of the stopped third display means
The stop symbol is made coincident with the first stop symbol, and the second display means performs a special reach display in which the display is repeatedly started again.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the symbol combination pachinko game machine according to the first or second aspect, the display control means performs after the slip control in which the speed of the repetitive display of the second display means is specially changed. The second display means is stopped and displayed.

[0013] By specially changing the speed of the repetitive display of the second display means, the sense of expectation of a big hit is increased, and the moving design can be visually recognized and followed by eyes. Can be watched while expecting to stop at the same symbol as the first stop symbol, and even if it stops at a symbol different from the first stop symbol, the slip control in which the speed of the repeated display is specially changed is performed. When the third stop symbol becomes the same as the first stop symbol and enters the special reach, the possibility of a big hit is left, and the sense of expectation is maintained.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the symbol combination pachinko game machine according to the third aspect, the second display means displays the same symbol as the first stop symbol during the slip control until the second symbol is stopped. It is characterized in that the possibility of a big hit differs depending on the number of displayed shift symbols.

The player first expects the second display means to stop at the same symbol as the first stop symbol, but even if the vehicle passes without stopping at the symbol, the shift symbol displayed until the symbol is stopped thereafter. The probability of a big hit differs depending on the number (the number of symbols shifted from the time when the same symbol as the first stop symbol is displayed until the stop symbol is displayed in a state where the speed of the repeated display is particularly slow), and the number with the highest possible probability However, I will watch with expectation that the pattern will shift and stop, so I can keep my eyes on and can become more and more enthusiastic.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the symbol combination pachinko game machine according to the fourth aspect, the larger the number of the shifted symbols, the higher the possibility of a big hit.

[0017] Even if the second display means passes through the same symbol as the first stop symbol without stopping, the larger the number of misaligned symbols displayed until the second symbol stops, the higher the possibility of a big hit, so the same symbol has passed. Sometimes it is as big a shift as possible, that is, many symbols are displayed and the expectation is that they will stop, so that they can become more and more enthusiastic.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the symbol combination pachinko game machine according to the fifth aspect, further comprising a jackpot selection means for selecting a jackpot or a loss by lottery, and the reach type selection means selecting a special reach. At the time, further select the number of each shift symbol at a predetermined appearance ratio, and make the appearance ratio of each shift symbol number of the special reach different when the big hit selection means selects a big hit and when a big hit is selected, It is characterized in that the larger the number of misaligned symbols, the smaller the appearance ratio at the time of a big hit than at the time of a big hit is set so as to be sequentially smaller.

Since the appearance ratio at the time of a big hit is set to be gradually smaller than the appearance ratio at the time of a big hit as the number of the shifted symbols is larger, the possibility of a big hit is higher as the number of the shifted symbols in the special reach is larger. Become.

According to the present invention, a plurality of types of symbols are arranged in a predetermined number and the display means for sequentially and repeatedly displaying the symbols is arranged in three columns, and the repeated display is sequentially stopped and the symbols displayed side by side are all the same. And a symbol combination pachinko game machine in which a large number of prize balls are paid out at a big hit, comprising a display control means for controlling each repetitive display and stop display of the three rows of display means, wherein the display control means is secondly stopped. Unlike the first stop symbol of the first display unit in which the second stop symbol of the display unit is stopped first, the third stop symbol of the third display unit that is stopped third is the same as the second stop symbol. And a symbol combination pachinko game machine in which the first display means repeatedly starts displaying again, stops at the same symbol as the second and third symbols, and performs special reach display control so that a big hit may occur. That.

When the second stop symbol coincides with the first stop symbol, the sense of expectation of the big hit naturally increases. However, even if the second stop symbol is different from the first stop symbol, the possibility of the big hit has already been lost. If the third display means stops at the same symbol as the second stop symbol, the first display means starts displaying repeatedly again, stops at the same symbol as the second stop symbol and the third stop symbol, and generates a big hit. You can enjoy exciting games with a long expectation.

According to an eighth aspect of the present invention, in the symbol combination pachinko game machine according to the seventh aspect, the first stop is performed during the sliding control in which the display control means causes the second display means to specially change the speed of repeated display. It is characterized in that the possibility of a big hit differs depending on the number of shifted symbols displayed from the time when the same symbol as the symbol is displayed until the symbol stops.

A special change in the speed of the repetitive display of the second display means increases the sense of expectation of a big hit, and allows the moving design to be visually recognized and followed by the eyes. Can be watched while expecting to stop at the same symbol as the first stop symbol, and even if it stops at a symbol different from the first stop symbol, the slip control in which the speed of the repeated display is specially changed is performed. When the third stop symbol becomes the same as the second stop symbol and enters the special reach, the possibility of a big hit is left, and the sense of expectation is maintained.

According to a ninth aspect of the present invention, a plurality of symbols are arranged in a predetermined number and a display means for sequentially and repeatedly displaying the symbols is arranged in n columns, and the repeated display is sequentially stopped and the symbols displayed side by side are all the same. And a symbol combination pachinko game machine in which a large number of prize balls are paid out at a big hit, comprising a display control means for controlling each repetition display and stop display of the display means of n columns, wherein the display control means is the first to the (n-2) th. The symbols stopped all the same are the same and the (n-1) -th stopped
1st display means, the n-1st stop symbol is the first stop symbol.
Unlike the first stop symbol of the display means, when the n-th stop symbol of the n-th display means stopped at the n-th is the same as the first stop symbol, the (n-1) th display means starts the display again and repeats. This is a symbol combination pachinko amusement machine that performs special reach display control so as to stop at the same symbol as the first stop symbol and other stop symbols and possibly cause a big hit.

When the symbols stopped from the first to the (n-2) th are all the same and the (n-1) th stop symbol coincides with the first stop symbol, the sense of expectation of a big hit naturally increases, but the (n-1) th stop symbol. Even if the symbol is different from the first stop symbol, the possibility of a big hit has not been lost here, and if the n-th display means stops at the same symbol as the first stop symbol, the (n-1) th display means repeats again. The display is started, the game is stopped at the same symbol as the first stop symbol, and a special reach display control, which is likely to be a big hit, is entered, so that an exciting game can be enjoyed continuously with a long expectation.

According to a tenth aspect of the present invention, in the symbol combination pachinko game machine according to the ninth aspect, during the slip control in which the (n-1) th display means specially changes the speed of the repetitive display by the display control means. It is characterized in that the possibility of a big hit differs depending on the number of shifted symbols displayed from the time when the same symbol as one stop symbol is displayed until the symbol stops.

By specially changing the speed of the repetitive display of the (n-1) th display means, the sense of expectation of a big hit is increased, and the moving symbol can be visually recognized and followed by eyes. -1 It is possible to watch while expecting the display means to stop at the same symbol as the first stop symbol, and to perform the slip control in which the speed of the repeated display is specially changed even if the display means is stopped at a symbol different from the first stop symbol. By doing so, the n-th stop symbol becomes the same as the first stop symbol, and by entering the special reach, the possibility of a big hit is left and the sense of expectation is maintained.

According to an eleventh aspect of the present invention, in the symbol combination pachinko amusement machine according to the first, seventh or ninth aspect, the symbols displayed on the display means are arranged in a predetermined order. It is characterized by being repeatedly displayed as shown.

Since the symbols whose order is determined are displayed in order, the symbol displayed next to the displayed symbol or the symbol displayed earlier can be predicted, and the symbol having the highest possibility of a big hit can be predicted. You will be watching with great expectations to stop and you will be very enthusiastic.

According to a twelfth aspect of the present invention, in the symbol combination pachinko game machine according to the eleventh aspect, the symbols whose order is determined are numbers.

Since the symbols repeatedly displayed by the display means are numbers and are displayed in order, it is possible to anticipate the numbers which may be displayed and stopped from now on, as well as the first stop symbol and the second stop symbol. Design (or n-th
It is possible to easily calculate the number of shift symbols, which is the difference between one stop symbol, and easily determine the possibility of a big hit at the time of special reach.

According to a thirteenth aspect of the present invention, in the symbol combination pachinko game machine according to the first, seventh or ninth aspect, the symbol displayed on the display means is a symbol partially including a numeral. It is characterized by the following.

Since the symbols include numbers, the order of the symbols can be easily understood, and the symbols which may be displayed and stopped from now on can be predicted by the numbers. .

A display control signal is output to 49, and a display driver 49 drives the liquid crystal display 20 to display an image based on the display control signal.

The liquid crystal display 20 displays the left, middle, and right symbols independently on a horizontally long rectangular liquid crystal screen. The symbols are arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the liquid crystal display as if the rotating body were rotating. Is displayed repeatedly.

In the present embodiment, ten display numbers 0 to 9 are arranged in order in the display column corresponding to each torso, and three display columns are displayed when the display is repeatedly stopped. The case where two stop symbols are the same is regarded as a big hit.

In the control system as described above, the control operations of the big hit control and the image display control will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3 and the image example of the liquid crystal display 20 of FIG.

The three display columns are displayed repeatedly (rotated display) all at once, and stop sequentially with a time lag. However, the display columns may be stopped from any of the left, middle, and right. The column that stops second, the display column that stops second, and the display column that stops third, are called the third display column. In this embodiment, assuming that the display columns are stopped in the order of left, middle, and right, the left display column is a first display column, the center display column is a second display column, and the right display column is a third display column.

First, it is determined in step 1 whether or not a ball has entered the start winning opening, that is, whether or not the start winning opening switch has been turned on. In step 2, the three display columns are rotated and displayed simultaneously.

Next, in step 3, a jackpot lottery is performed. This lottery is a lottery that determines either a big hit or a loss. For example, the lottery is performed by acquiring a random number so as to have a big hit with a probability of 1/200.

Then, in the next step 4, it is determined whether or not the result of the lottery is a big hit. If it is a big hit, the flow proceeds to step 5, and if it is a loss, the flow jumps to step 7. When the process proceeds to step 5 with the big hit, a symbol combination of the big hit is selected. A symbol in the big hit where all the symbols in the three displayed columns are the same is selected, and a symbol combination of the big hit is selected, for example, 3-3-3, 7-7-7.

If the player jumps to step 7 due to a losing, a losing symbol combination is selected. The combination of the lost symbols includes, for example, all different symbols such as 3-4-8,
There are cases where two symbols are the same as in 3-8 and 3-5-3, and when the two symbols are the same, it is possible that the player was in the reach state.

When the big hit symbol combination is selected (step 5), the first display row is stopped at the selected symbol in step 6, and the process proceeds to step 10. When the lost symbol combination is selected (Step 7), the first display column is stopped at the selected first stop symbol in Step 8, and the process proceeds to Step 9.
Determine whether it is reach. That is, in step 9, the first
It is determined whether or not the stop symbol and the second stop symbol are the same. If the symbols are the same and reach, the process proceeds to step 10;

When jumping to step 18, it is a case where all of the lost symbol combinations are different symbols such as 3-4-8, and the second display column is stopped by the false sliding control so that the player has an expectation. It is determined whether or not to perform the sliding. If a slip occurs, the process proceeds to step 19 to stop the second display column by the slip control (slip stop). If no sliding occurs, the process proceeds to step 21 to display the second display column. A normal stop without slippage (a normal stop in which the display speed is repeatedly decelerated at a constant rate and stopped as it is) is performed. In any case, the first stop symbol and the second stop symbol are different, and the process proceeds to step 21, where the third display row is stopped normally, all the display rows are stopped in a lost state, and the routine jumps to step 22.

On the other hand, in the big hit, from step 6 to step 10
If the process has proceeded to step 10 and if the process has proceeded from step 9 to step 10 due to the reach, the type of reach is selected from the table in step 10.

The types of reach are roughly classified into a normal normal reach in which the first stop symbol and the second stop symbol match, and a
After the stop symbol slides and stops at a symbol different from the first stop symbol, there is a special reach that is the special reach where the third stop symbol matches the first stop symbol, and the super reach has the second stop symbol and the second stop symbol that have stopped sliding. The difference from the one stop symbol (the number of symbols shifted from the time when the same symbol as the first stop symbol is displayed to the time when the stop display is performed in the sliding state in which the speed of the repeated display is particularly slower than that in the normal stop) is obtained. There are nine types from 1 to 9, and Table 1 shows the appearance ratios and appearance probabilities in a table.

The difference between the second stop symbol that has stopped sliding and the first stop symbol is, for example, referring to FIG. 4, the first display column is stopped, and the first stop symbol becomes 3 (FIG. 4), and the second display symbol is displayed. The rotation speed of the means is particularly slowed down, resulting in a slip state (see FIG. 4).
) And after the same 3 as the first stop symbol is displayed (FIG. 4)
), The number of displayed symbols (the number of shifted symbols) until the stop (FIG. 4). In the example shown in FIG. 4, four symbols are shifted from 3 and 7 are displayed as the second stopped symbols. Therefore, the difference is 4.

Table 1 shows the appearance ratio and the overall appearance probability at the time of the big hit and the appearance ratio and the overall appearance probability at the time of the big hit for each of the difference of the super reach and the normal reach.

[0059]

[Table 1]

In step 10, the type of the reach is selected not only in the case of a big hit but also in the case of a loss. Step 3
In the lottery of 1/200 chance of a big hit, 232/1000
, Normal reach is selected at a rate of 768/1000, and super reach is selected at a rate of 768/1000. In the case of super reach, the magnitude of the difference is further selected at the rate shown in Table 1.

The appearance ratio of the difference in the jackpot super reach is 80/1000 (appearance probability of 0.04% when viewed as a whole) in each case where the difference is from 1 to 5, and 60/10 when the difference is 6
00, 48/1000 when the difference is 7, 80 / when the difference is 8
It is not much different from 1000, but especially when the difference is 9 it is 18
The ratio is high at 0/1000.

On the other hand, in the case of loss, normal reach is selected at a rate of 924/1000, and super reach is selected at a rate of 76/1000. In the case of super reach, the magnitude of the difference is further selected at the rate shown in Table 1. The appearance ratio of the difference in the loss super reach is 36/1000 when the difference is 1, 16/1000 when the difference is 2 and 9/1000 when the difference is 3, such as 9/1000 when the difference is increased. Decreases.

From the above description, for example, the second sliding stop
When the difference between the stop symbol and the first stop symbol is 1 and a super reach in which the third stop symbol coincides with the first stop symbol occurs, the reliability of the big hit is 10%, but if the difference is 4, If the reliability is 40% and the difference is 9, the reliability is 90%, and the greater the difference is, that is, the greater the number of misaligned symbols is, the higher the possibility of a big hit is.

Therefore, the player first waits for the second display column to stop, expecting the second stop symbol to match the first stop symbol, but enters the slip state and passes the same symbol as the first stop symbol. Then, it is expected that as many symbols as possible will shift and stop, and then it is expected that the third display column will stop at the same symbol as the first stop symbol and become a super reach. , And will continue to grow and grow without loss of expectations.

When the type of reach set in this way is selected in step 10, it is determined in next step 11 whether or not it is super reach.
If it is not a super reach, that is, if it is a normal reach, it jumps to step 16.

When the normal reach is selected,
The second display column is stopped normally with the same image as the first stop image to actually cause a normal reach to appear (step 16), and then the third display column is stopped sliding (step 17), greatly increasing the expectation of the player. All the display columns are stopped and the display of the symbol combination is determined, and the routine jumps to step 22. In addition, the reliability of the appearance of a normal reach and a jackpot is low at 1.24% (see Table 1).

When super reach is selected,
Since the difference is also selected, the second display column is shifted in the slip state by the selected difference (the number of shifted symbols) in step 12 and stopped (see FIG. 4), and then the third display column is changed in step 13. Sliding stop is performed on the same image as the first stop image to make a super reach appear (see FIG. 4), and the next step
In step 14, the second display column is re-rotated (see FIG. 4), and then in step 15, the second display column is stopped in a sliding manner, all display columns are stopped, and a symbol combination as a final result is displayed (FIG. 4), and proceed to step 22.

The reliability with which the super reach appears and the jackpot is increased as the number of the shifted symbols increases, and when the number of the shifted symbols is nine, the jackpot becomes a hit with a reliability of 90%. In the example shown in FIG. It is a big hit with the number of deviation symbols being 4 and a reliability of 40%, and a big hit with a probability of 40% (see FIG. 4).

In step 22, in the stopped symbol combination displayed on the liquid crystal display 20, it is checked whether or not the same symbol is arranged and a big hit is made by the actually displayed symbol combination. Then, processing such as payout of jackpot prize balls is performed, and even if one of the displayed stop symbol combinations is different and the game is lost, the program proceeds to step 24 to perform the game processing and ends.

The present pachinko gaming machine 1 has a super reach as described above. First, the player waits for the second display column to stop in expectation of the second stop symbol matching the first stop symbol, and expects a big hit due to the match of the third stop symbol in normal reach if they match. .

As described above, it is expected that the second display column stops at the same symbol as the first stop symbol. However, even if the same symbol passes, the possibility of a big hit is not lost. It is expected that as many symbols as possible pass in the state and stop (the number of misaligned symbols is large). This is because the larger the number of misaligned symbols, the higher the reliability (probability) of the big hit.

Next, it is expected that the third stop symbol coincides with the first stop symbol and a super reach appears. If the third stop symbol coincides with the first stop symbol, it becomes super reach and the second display column starts rotating display again. It is necessary to wait for the stop of the second display column in expectation of a big hit. In this way, the player's expectation continues for a long time without interruption, and during that time, the expectation gradually increases toward the jackpot and the player can enjoy an exciting game.

The super reach in the above game is as follows.
Although the third stop symbol coincides with the first stop symbol, the third stop symbol may coincide with the second stop symbol to achieve super reach. Such an embodiment will be described with reference to a liquid crystal display 20.
5 will be described with reference to FIG.

The first display column stops at 3 (see FIG. 5),
The second display column is in the sliding state (see FIG. 5), and 7
To stop sliding (see FIG. 5), and then the third display column
It stops at 7, the same as the stop symbol, and a super reach appears (see FIG. 5). Then, the first display column starts rotating display again (see FIG. 5), leaving the possibility of a big hit. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the first display column stops at 7 and becomes a big hit.

Such a super-reach may selectively appear as the super-reach of the above embodiment. In addition, numbers may be attached to not only the numbers but also various patterns, and the numbers are mainly used, but some characters may appear.
