Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a game player to be amused with a pachinko game by a display of a lottery result being begun from, e.g. a different, beginning picture in every time in a pachinko game machine. SOLUTION: A preceding display result is carried over to a next, beginning picture display and an out count 2 is displayed on a score displaying region 57 in the beginning picture. A picture on a left region 56a is displayed and unchanged by one strike, and a picture on a middle region 56b is displayed and unchanged by two strikes. An out of the player cancels the number of strikes and the number of balls on the score displaying region to increase out counts by one. Three outs bring a close of an attack, allowing a letter of a 'change' to be displayed and a picture of a right region 56c to be displayed and unchanged. Starting the display of the lottery result from a different, beginning picture every time and reflecting the preceding result in this time provides a game with a story.

And performing a display process.

The display control means performs a process of determining an initial screen when displaying the result of the lottery on the display means, and starts from the determined initial screen and changes to a final screen which becomes a final display based on the result of the lottery. Since the process of making the display means perform the display, the display of the result of the lottery is started from a different initial screen every time. Thereby, the player can be entertained.

The determination of the initial screen may be performed at random using, for example, a random number. However, if the last determined screen and the current initial screen are associated with each other, the display of a plurality of lottery results is performed in a series. A story can be given as a thing. Therefore, a ball game machine according to claim 2 is the ball game machine according to claim 1, wherein the display control means is configured to determine a current initial screen based on a previous confirmation screen. Since the final screen and the current initial screen can be associated with each other, it is suitable for providing the above-mentioned story.

[0008] In order to provide a story by determining the current initial screen based on the previous determined screen, the story development has a certain purpose (for example, arrival at the destination, acquisition of the target, sports goal). And scores). Then, the scene that achieved the goal is displayed as a hit, and the scene that has not been achieved (scene on the way) is displayed as a miss,
A series of stories can be developed by setting the current initial screen as the start scene if the previous display is a hit, and the current initial screen if the previous display is a missed display.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the ball game machine according to the first or second aspect, an image simulating baseball is used for displaying the lottery result, and the lottery result is displayed in a special game state. The home-in scene is displayed when it is notified that the game is going to be completed. Therefore, if the invention is applied to the ball-and-ball game machine of claim 2, the progress of the game can be developed into a story.

In the case where the present invention is applied to the ball-and-ball game machine of the first aspect, for example, if a scene where a runner is on the third base is set as the initial screen, there is a high possibility that the player will be home-in, so the player is expected to have an expectation You can hug me. Alternatively, the same effect can be obtained even when a batter who is likely to hit a home run appears.

FIG. 4 shows the CPU of the main control unit 70.
70a is a flowchart of a lottery process executed as a subroutine of a main routine (illustration and description is omitted). In this lottery process, the CPU 70a first determines whether or not the game ball detection signal (start signal) from the winning sensor 31c of the variable winning device 31 is input, that is, whether or not the game ball has won the variable winning device 31. Yes (S10
1).

If the determination is affirmative, the random number value of the random number counter 70d is read (S103), and the random number value is collated with a predetermined winning value, and a lottery is performed as to whether or not the winning is achieved (S104). In this embodiment, the hit value is 1
There are only low-probability mode and high-probability mode with 10 hit values. Initially (at startup), the low-probability mode is set, but after that, according to the symbol used to display the hit The mode is switched from the low probability mode to the high probability mode and from the high probability mode to the low probability mode.

Next, if the lottery in S104 is a winning (S106: YES), the CPU 70a determines a winning symbol for displaying the winning, and generates a command for displaying the winning symbol (S107). , The content of the hit is stored in the RAM 70c, and the hit flag F1 is set to 1
(S108). If the lottery is off (S
106: NO), the CPU 70a determines a miss symbol for displaying the miss, and generates a command for displaying the miss (S109). S107 or S109
Are transmitted to the symbol control device 90 in the command transmission process of the main routine.

The types of commands sent from the main controller 70 to the symbol controller 90 are as shown in FIG. Commands related to the display of symbols include a variation pattern designation command for designating the variation start and variation pattern of the symbol, a left symbol designation command for designating a left symbol stop symbol (a symbol to be finally displayed), and a stop symbol for a medium symbol. , A right symbol designation command to designate a right symbol stop symbol, and an all symbol stop command to designate the left, middle, and right stop symbols. Generated in S107 or S109 are a fluctuation pattern designation command, a left symbol designation command, a middle symbol designation command, and a right symbol designation command, which are sent to the symbol control device 90 immediately after generation,
The all symbol stop command is sent to the symbol controller 90 after a lapse of time determined according to the variation pattern. In addition,
In S107, the left, middle, and right stop symbols are made the same (when the lottery is a hit), and in S109 (when the lottery is lost), the left, middle, and right stop symbols are determined so as not to be aligned.

Other commands have little relevance to the present invention, but will be briefly described. A power-on command is a command for instructing display of a demo screen when the pachinko machine 10 is powered on, a customer waiting command is a command for instructing display of a demo screen when waiting for a customer, a jackpot opening command is a command for instructing display of a jackpot fanfare screen, The number-of-openings display command is a command for instructing the display of the number of rounds (the number of times the special winning opening 40 is opened) from 1 to 16 times, the big hit symbol display command is a command for displaying three types of big hit screens, and a specific area passing display. The command is a command to indicate that the game ball has passed the specific area, the interval command is a command to display the interval screen, the jackpot ending command is a command to display the jackpot end screen, the error detection command is Instruct to display error clear screen That is a command.

Before explaining the operation of the symbol control device 90 corresponding to the command from the main control device 70, a screen 26a displayed on the liquid crystal display device 26 in displaying the lottery result.
The structure of will be described. As shown in FIG. 6, the home base 50, the first base 51, and the second base 5 are provided on almost the entire area of the lottery result display screen 26a.
An image of the baseball stadium including the bases of the second and third bases 53, the batter box 54, the mound 55, and the like is displayed.
In this image, a pitcher (e in the figure) is displayed on the mound 55, and although not shown, other fielders are also displayed at the respective defensive positions. In addition, the batter (a in the figure), the first base 51, and the second base 5 are displayed in the batter box 54 according to the progress of the game.
Runners (b, c, d in the figure) are displayed on each base of the second and third bases 53. A symbol display area 56 is displayed between the home base 50 and the first base 51 (lower right of the screen 26a), and a score display area 57 is displayed on the upper left of the screen 26a. The symbol display area 56 is divided into a left section 56a, a middle section 56b, and a right section 56c.
In each case, symbols (numerical symbols of 0 to 9 in the present embodiment, indicated by g, h, and k in FIG. 6) are displayed.

In displaying the lottery results, the symbol control device 9
The processing executed by 0 is as follows. As shown in FIG. 7, the CPU 90a of the symbol control device 90
When a variation pattern designation command from 0, a left symbol designation command, a middle symbol designation command, and a right symbol designation command are received (S200: YES), it is determined whether or not the out count stored in the RAM 90c is 0 (S20).
1). The initial value of this out count (set at the time of startup) is 0, and thereafter changes in the range of 0 to 3 in this processing.

If the out count is 0 (S201: YE
S), it is determined whether the number of runners stored in the RAM 90c is 3 (S202). The initial value of the number of runners is also 0, and thereafter changes in the range of 0 to 3 in this processing. If the number of runners is not 3 (S202: NO)
It is determined whether or not this is 2 (S203). If it is not 2 (S203: NO), it is determined whether or not this is 1 (S20).
4). That is, it is determined whether the number of runners is 3 to 0 in S202, S203, or S204.

If the out count is not 0 (S20)
1: NO), it is determined whether or not this is 1 (S20)
5). If the out count is 1, (S205: YE
S) and S206 to S208, the above-described S202 to S2 are performed.
As in step 04, it is determined whether the number of runners is 3 to 0.

If the out count is not 1 (S20)
5: NO), as shown in FIG. 8, it is determined whether or not this is 2 (S209). If the out count is 2 (S209: YES), it is determined in S210 to S212 whether the number of runners is 3 to 0 as in S202 to 204 described above.

If the out count is not 2 (S20)
9: NO), and reset the out count (S21)
3), the number of runners is reset (S214). Since the out count and the number of runners are determined by the above processing, the CPU 90a selects the number of innings and the number of balls to be displayed in the score display area 57 of the initial screen (S2).
15). The number of innings is once selected from among 18 types of front to back, and the number of balls is selected from 0 to 3.
In the case of the present embodiment, the number of balls is determined by the value of a counter for selecting the number of innings (for example, a counter that repeats 0 to 17), and the number of balls is determined by the counter for selecting the number of balls (for example, 0 to 17).
3 is selected according to the value of a counter that repeats 3).

Then, the number of innings and the number of balls selected in S215 and the out-count in S201, S205, S209 or S213 are displayed in the score display area 57, and the above-mentioned S202-204, S206-208
Alternatively, runners of the number corresponding to the number of runners in S210 to 210 are displayed on the first base 51, the second base 52, and the third base 53 (S216). If the number of runners has been reset in S214, no runner is displayed. When the initial screen is displayed, the left section 56a of the symbol display area 55,
The variable display is started simultaneously in the middle section 56b and the right section 56c (FIGS. 10 (a), 11 (a), 12 (a)).
reference).

Following the display of the initial screen and the start of the variable display, as shown in FIG.
It is determined whether or not the left symbol designation command, the middle symbol designation command, and the right symbol designation command designate the same symbol, ie, whether it is a big hit (S217).
If it is a big hit (S217: YES), it is determined whether or not a reach is made (S218). In the case of the present embodiment, a scoring scene is displayed at the time of displaying the jackpot, so that if the runner is displayed on the third base 53 on the initial screen, it is a reach.
When the symbols are stopped and displayed in the order of the left section 56a, the middle section 56b, and the right section 56c, the left section 56a and the middle section 5
If the pattern of 6b is aligned, it is reach. Whether or not the reach display by the symbol is performed (the left section 56a, the middle section 56b, and the right section 56c are stopped and displayed at the same time) is determined based on the fluctuation pattern designation command.

If it is any reach (S218: Y
ES), hit the jackpot (scoring scene) assuming that reach
(S219), and if it is not reach, the pattern which becomes a big hit (score scene) is selected without assuming reach (S220).

Then, the progress of the baseball (development of the story) according to the selected pattern is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 26, and the symbols in the symbol display area 56 are stopped and displayed according to the progress (S221). In the case of the present embodiment, the pitcher
One symbol is stopped and displayed every time one of them is acquired (miss swing, foul) (for example, FIG. 10 (b), FIG. 11 (b), FIG. 12).
(See (b)) All three symbols in the symbol display area 56 are stopped and displayed in synchronization with one batter being processed (out, hit or baseball with four balls) (FIGS. 10 (d) and 11).
(D), see FIG. 12 (d)). Therefore, a hit (including a home run) at the first ball may cause all three symbols to be stopped and displayed suddenly, or some symbols may continue to fluctuate until the ball goes out or bases.

In the case of a big hit, a scoring scene is displayed. For example, a runner is displayed on the third base 53 and hit (with a reach), or a scene without a runner (there is no reach in a baseball scene). Hitting a home run. The CPU 90a resets the out-count after the process of stopping and displaying all three symbols in the symbol display area 56 in accordance with such a scoring scene (S22).
2), reset the number of runners (S223), and return.

If it is not a jackpot (S217: N
O), it is determined whether or not it is reach (S224). If the runner is displayed on the third base 53 on the initial screen in the reach (S224: YES), and the hit comes out, the point is displayed as a big hit, so the outgoing pattern is selected. (S226), the progress of the baseball (development of the story) in the selected pattern is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 2.
6 and the symbols in the symbol display area 56 are stopped and displayed in accordance with the progress (S221). Then, the out count is incremented by 1 (S227) and the routine returns.

If no runner is displayed on the third base 53 on the initial screen (S225: NO), a pattern to be hit is selected (S228), and the progress of the baseball (development of story) according to the selected pattern is displayed on the liquid crystal display device. 26, and the symbols in the symbol display area 56 are stopped and displayed according to the progress (S221). Then, 1 is added to the number of runners (S2
29) Return.

If it is not reach (S224: NO), a pattern to be out is selected (S230), and the progress of the baseball (story development) based on the selected pattern is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 26, and according to the progress. The symbols in the symbol display area 56 are stopped and displayed (S221). Then, the out count is incremented by 1 (S231) and the routine returns.

An example of a display realized by the control processing by the CPU 90a will be described with reference to FIGS.
A description will be given along the flow starting from an out count of 0 and changing to 3 outs. FIG. 10A shows the out count 0 (the number of innings and 3 balls are displayed in S215).
In the symbol display area 56, the variable display of three symbols has been started. When the pitcher obtains one strike, one strike is displayed in the score display area 57 and the symbol (7 in this example) of the left section 56a is stopped and displayed (FIG. 10B). In the second strike, two strikes are displayed in the score display area 57, and the symbol (4 in this example) of the middle section 56b is stopped and displayed (FIG. 10C). Score display area 5 by the third strike (batters out)
The number of strikes and the number of balls of No. 7 are deleted, the out count 1 is displayed, and the symbol (6 in this example) of the right section 56c is stopped and displayed (FIG. 10D). In other words, the off display in the symbol display area 56 is determined in synchronization with the batter's out.

The display result (out count 1) shown in FIG. 10 is carried over to the next initial screen display (FIG. 7, S
205). Then, as shown in FIG. 11A, the out count 1 is displayed in the score display area 57 on the next initial screen. Thereafter, the symbol of the left section 56a is stopped and displayed by one strike (FIG. 11B), and the symbol of the middle section 56b is stopped and displayed by two strikes (FIG. 11).
(C)) With the batter's out, the number of strikes and the number of balls in the score display area 57 are erased and the out count becomes 1
The pattern is increased and the symbol of the right section 56c is stopped and displayed (FIG. 11D).

The display result (out count 2) shown in FIG. 11 is also carried over to the next initial screen display (FIG. 8, S2).
09), and out-count 2 is displayed in the score display area 57 on the initial screen as shown in FIG. In the same manner as described above, the symbol of the left section 56a is stopped and displayed by one strike (FIG. 12B), and the symbol of the middle section 56b is stopped and displayed by two strikes (FIG. 12C). Since the strike count and the ball count in the score display area 57 are erased and the out count is increased by one, and the attack ends with three outs, the character "change" is displayed and the symbol of the right section 56c is stopped and displayed ( FIG.
(D)).

The example shown in FIGS. 10 to 12 is an example in which a batter goes out consecutively. In that case, the runners up to the previous time are displayed on the initial screen until the three outs or the jackpot is displayed. Therefore, if the player runs on the base during the subsequent display, the previous runner advances. As a result, if the runner advances to the third base, it will reach on the baseball screen,
The player feels that the hit is gradually approaching as the runner advances.

The home-in (score) scene is displayed on the screen 26 a of the liquid crystal display device 26, and each section 56 of the symbol display area 56 is displayed.
If the symbols stopped and displayed at a to 56c are aligned, a big hit is displayed, and a special game is executed due to this. The special game itself executed in the present embodiment is the same as that of a known pachinko machine of the type called the first type, but will be briefly described with reference to FIG.

In the special game process, the main controller 70
Determines whether or not the hit flag F is set to 1 (S401), and if the determination is negative, no substantial processing is performed (the special game is not executed). If a positive determination is made in S401, a jackpot opening command is sent to the symbol control device 90 to display the jackpot fanfare screen,
Subsequently, a command is sent to the actuator control device 80 to open and close the special winning opening 40, the number of times of opening the special winning opening 40 is displayed by the opening number display command, the big hit screen is displayed by the big hit design display command, and the specific area is passed. Various processes related to the special game are performed, such as instructing display of a specific area by a display command, display of an interval screen by an interval command, and the like (S4).
02). Then, for example, when the specified number of rounds have been executed and the special game is to be ended (S403: YES), the display of the big hit end screen is instructed by the big hit ending command, and the hit flag F is reset (S40).
4). This special game (opening of the special winning opening 40) corresponds to a game state advantageous to the player.

As described above, the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment is
Then, when displaying the lottery result, the symbol control device 90 first determines an initial screen, and starts displaying from the determined initial screen, and changes the display that changes to a finalization screen on which the lottery result is finalized. , The display of the lottery result is started from a different initial screen every time. Thereby, the player can be entertained.

In determining the initial screen, the current initial screen is determined based on the previous determined screen, so that the last determined screen and the current initial screen can be associated with each other. It can give a story. Then, when displaying that the lottery result has been won, the scene of the home-in is displayed, so that interest can be enhanced.

Also, for example, if the scene where the runner is on the third base is set as the initial screen, the possibility of home-in (hit) is high, so that the player can have a sense of expectation. In addition,
Although a detailed description is omitted in the embodiment, a single hit, a double hit, a triple hit, a home run, a four-ball, a dead ball, a strikeout escape, and the like can be the cause of the batter's base as in actual baseball.

Switching from low probability to high probability (probability change)
Can be performed by a symbol fixedly displayed in the symbol display area 56. In addition, the run may be performed based on the number of the runner who scored. Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the embodiments, the present invention is not limited to such embodiments, and it goes without saying that various embodiments can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

In the embodiment, the baseball scene is used for displaying the lottery result. However, other ball games and the like may be used, and scenes other than sports may be used.
