Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pachinko game machine which has a figure varying pattern and a figure display pattern with a greater variety of a pattern defining process. SOLUTION: All of figures are stopped once after the varying thereof as a figure varying pattern to be executed on a screen of a figure display device 6 and the figures stopped once are zoomed up too much to judge the figures. Moreover, the figures are zoomed out from the state impossible to judge and returned to the normal size, which allows the execution of a figure reproduction process with the re-displaying of all of the figures. The reciprocal operation from the zooming up to the zooming out accomplishes the reproduction of the figures without discrepancy. The figures thus reproduced can give a player a new chance thereby achieving a figure varying pattern and a greater variety in the figure defining process.

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 display device which generates a predetermined profitable operation by a predetermined combination.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A symbol display device for variably displaying a plurality of symbols on a screen, a symbol start area provided with ball detection means, and a symbol display apparatus based on a ball detection signal from the ball detection means in the symbol start area. And a symbol control means for executing a symbol variation mode leading to a symbol determination display, and a predetermined gain for the player when a combination of symbols determined and displayed on the symbol display device is a predetermined hit symbol mode. A pachinko gaming machine which executes a special game operation for providing a pachinko game is well known.

[0003]

By the way, in a conventional pachinko gaming machine, as the above-mentioned symbol variation mode, when the symbol stops after the variation, the symbol is generally fixed as it is in sequence. . For this reason, the variation of the symbol is a one-pattern, which is not interesting for the player. Further, once each symbol is displayed, it is determined, and the change leading to the symbol determination becomes simple, so that there is a problem that the player's sense of expectation is not maintained and lacks interest.

An object of the present invention is to provide a symbol variation mode and a configuration in which the symbol determination process is varied.

[0005]

According to the present invention, in the above-mentioned pachinko gaming machine, as a symbol variation mode executed by symbol control means, all symbols are temporarily stopped after the symbol is changed, and the temporarily stopped symbol is zoomed up. Then, the symbol becomes indistinguishable, and further zooms out of the indistinguishable state,
It is characterized by having a symbol variation mode having a symbol reproduction process of returning to a normal size and redisplaying all symbols. The symbol reproduction process may be always executed in the symbol variation mode, or may be executed only when a specific condition is satisfied.

In such a configuration, once all the symbols have been stopped, only a part of the symbols is enlarged by zooming up and displayed on almost the entire screen, so that the symbols cannot be discriminated. The indistinguishable state is exemplified by a state in which the entire screen is uniformly covered with the pattern base. Then, the user zooms out of the indistinguishable state, returns to the normal size, redisplays all the symbols, and fixes the symbols. It should be noted that, in the indeterminate state, only a part of the outline of the symbol may be left. In this case, the redisplayed symbol to be displayed in the next zoom out is selected from the symbol group having such a portion. You may make it. Thus, the symbols are reproduced without discomfort by the reciprocating operation from zoom up to zoom out.

Here, the symbol to be redisplayed may be either a temporarily stopped symbol or a big hit symbol. In this case, depending on the symbol reproduction process, the symbol does not change or the symbol hits. Therefore, a chance to regain a big hit is given by the symbol reproduction process.

[0008] Further, the symbol reproduction process may be executed when the symbol is once stopped in a symbol in a state where the reach has been released (hereinafter referred to as a "losing reach symbol"). That is, only when the player once stops at the losing reach symbol, a big win re-chance is given.

Further, the symbol reproducing process may be executed after the big hit symbol is revealed, and may be reproduced in another big hit symbol. That is, when the jackpot is displayed without passing through the symbol reproduction process or after passing through the symbol reproduction process, after the above-described zoom-up, the indistinguishable state, and the zoom-out are sequentially executed, the probability variation symbol ( A jackpot symbol to which a predetermined gain is added, such as a jackpot symbol having a high probability of becoming a jackpot next time, may be reproduced. As a result, there is a possibility that the symbol is reproduced into a jackpot symbol having a higher gain, and a symbol change mode that is more significant for the player can be realized.

[0010] Further, in a state where it is impossible to determine, an index symbol for estimating or foreseeing whether or not the reproduced symbol is a big hit may be displayed on the symbol display device. Various characters may be displayed as the index symbol to indicate the possibility of a big hit depending on the type, movement, and the like of the character. For example, “rock-paper-scissors” and “battle” may be dynamically unfolded by a character or the like, and the result may suggest a reproduced symbol. Alternatively, a character display such as "big hit", "LUCKKY", "big hit?", Or a probability display such as "50%" is proposed, and by displaying these index symbols directly on the screen, it becomes impossible to determine the state. Thus, the player can predict the possibility of a jackpot and expect the zoom-out result.

[0011]

Is turned off each time the symbol starts to fluctuate, and the number of stored characters decreases.

When the symbol display device 6 is driven, the special symbols A, B, and C start to fluctuate in accordance with a predetermined symbol permutation, and all symbols are determined through a symbol variation mode described later. When the special symbols A, B, and C have the same symbol combination, a big hit occurs, the sound generator (see FIG. 3) emits a fanfare, the special game operation is started, and the variable winning opening of the variable winning device 16 is set. The opening solenoid (see FIG. 3) is driven, the lid 18 is tilted forward, and the variable winning opening 17 is opened. This opening is either a predetermined time limit (30 seconds) has elapsed, said predetermined within a constant time limit, the winning detection of winning ball detection switch (count switch) S ₄ by ten game balls is continued until done. In addition, as described above, the vehicle passes through the specific area 19 of the variable winning opening 17 and passes through the specific area switch (switch for continuously operating the accessory) S ₃
Is turned on, the conditions for the next opening / closing round are satisfied, the lid 18 is once driven to close, and when one round is completed, the variable winning opening 17 is opened again after the end of the operation, and the next opening / closing is performed. Move to round. As described above, the opening and closing rounds are repeated, and the continuous opening operation of the variable winning opening 17 occurs, so that a predetermined gain is provided to the player.

The variable prize winning devices 16 open the variable prize opening 17 due to a big hit and elapse of a predetermined time limit (30 seconds) of the variable prize opening 17 or a predetermined number (within the predetermined time limit). The opening and closing rounds in which the variable winning openings 17 are sequentially closed due to the expiration of (10) winnings are repeated.

The symbol control means of the symbol display device 6 and the ordinary symbol display device 10 is a central control device CP shown in FIG.
It is configured by a game control device 80 (microcomputer system) composed of U or the like. The configuration and control mode will be described.

The central control unit CPU executes a control operation in a predetermined procedure, and is connected to a storage device ROM for storing an operation program and a storage device RAM for reading and writing necessary data as needed. Storage device RO
M stores fixed data such as a control program, a random number table, a big hit game pattern, a display pattern of lamps and LEDs, and a sound generation pattern for generating a sound effect from a speaker. Then, the above-mentioned various random numbers are stored in the random number table, whereby each lottery is performed in accordance with each of the above-described steps.

A special symbol start switch S ₁ , an ordinary symbol start switch S ₂ provided in the symbol start area 14 via the input port, a specific area switch (continuous operation switch for official objects) S ₃ , provided to the central control unit CPU via an input port. is connected winning ball detection switch S _4, the central control unit CP performs waveform shaping by the waveform shaping circuit fed signals from the switches
U to the storage device R
Stored in AM. The symbol display device 6 is stored in the storage device RAM.
There are provided a storage area for temporarily storing data and the like for determining the stop display mode of the special symbols A, B, and C displayed by, a register area forming a soft timer, a work area of the game control device 80, and the like. The storage device RAM includes an address bus (not shown) for unidirectionally transmitting information for specifying an address for reading and writing data to and from the memory, and a data bus for exchanging data with the central control unit CPU, the storage device ROM, and the RAM. Are connected. Further, the storage area of the storage device RAM is special symbol start switch S _1, sphere detection signal from the normal symbol start switch S ₂ is stored as the limit of a predetermined number.

Further, the central control unit CPU is connected with peripheral devices such as a symbol control unit 81 which is controlled through an output port, the various solenoids described above, the starting storage number display devices 8 and 11, decorative lamps / LEDs, and the like. . The symbol control device 81 constitutes symbol control means for executing a symbol variation mode executed on the screen of the symbol display device 6 together with the central control device CPU and the like. The symbol control device 81 includes an LCD variable display CPU and a driver, and the driver is connected to the symbol display device 6 composed of a liquid crystal display so as to control the symbols. In a storage device (not shown) of the symbol control device 81, variable display data to the liquid crystal display (symbol display device 6), fixed data such as a display pattern thereof and a big hit display mode are stored. Further, image processing data for executing the symbol reproduction process according to the main part of the present invention is stored.

In addition, as described above, the central control unit CPU is connected to the sound generator which receives the sound data and outputs it to the amplifier. Further, as will be described later, a timer TM for measuring the time from the start of the special game operation to the expiration of the winning of the specified number 10 is connected.

Next, the symbol control of the symbol display device 6 by the symbol controller 81 will be described. The above-mentioned storage device ROM stores a special big random number K consisting of 0 to 315 frames. Then, ball enters in the symbol start area 14, when the sphere detected by the special symbol start switch S _1, the random number value is selected at that time, its contents are stored in the storage unit RAM.

The storage device ROM stores a jackpot symbol random number L selected based on the result of the jackpot special random number K and a lost symbol random number Ma, Mb, Mc, and determines a symbol to be a stop symbol based on the hit or lost. I do. Here, the big hit symbol random number L is composed of 14 frames from 0 to 13, and a hit symbol corresponding to the frame is selected.

Further, in the storage device ROM, 0 to 28
Is stored. The reach random number N has a plurality of types of special reach variation display modes different from the non-reach state and thus determines which reach variation display mode to perform the reach operation. , A big hit design, and a lost design, where A = B.

Furthermore, in the essential part of the present invention, when a big hit is made by the special big random number K, the big hit symbol is displayed as it is or the game is temporarily stopped in a state where the reach is released (hazard reach symbol). ), And a process random number R for determining whether or not a winning is to be expressed in a symbol reproduction process to be described later is provided. Further, when a symbol reproduction process is selected by the process random number R, a symbol reproduction random number X which is randomly selected to generate a losing reach symbol is provided.

On the other hand, by the lottery of the lost symbol random numbers Ma, Mb, Mc, a symbol having a relationship of A = B ≠ C (for example, “7,
In the case where "2, 7") is generated, a symbol reproduction process is executed, and as a result, the same symbol (for example, "7, 2, 7") that has been once stopped is definitely displayed.

[0031] Then, the symbol start area 14 the special symbol start switch S ₁ through the sphere is turned actuated to select a jackpot special random number K with the occurrence of such detection signals,
Determine the hit or miss. In this process, if the number of start memories is full (four), it is invalidated even if a ball passes through the symbol starting area 14, or if the ball is changing, the start memory number is reduced. Processing such as adding one is performed. Then, the symbol display device 6 fluctuates via the symbol control device 81 based on the ball passing into the symbol starting area 14 or the subtraction of the number of starting memories. As will be described later, the symbol area traveling mode P appears during this change. In addition, even when the normal symbol operation gates (normal start area) 13 and 13 pass, when the start storage number is full, it becomes invalid.

[0032] a where jackpot special random numbers K = 7 is selected jackpot, with the occurrence of a sphere detection signal from the special symbol start switch S _1, or the starting storage device stored in the case and its storage With digestion, each special design A,
While changing B and C, a value is selected from the big hit symbol random number L shown in FIG. 3 to determine the hit symbol. Further, the reach random number N is determined by lottery, a special variation display mode in which the reach operation is performed is determined, and the selected reach operation is executed.

Furthermore, when a special jackpot random number K results in a jackpot, the jackpot symbol determined by the jackpot symbol random number L is displayed as it is, or temporarily stopped in a state where the reach is released, and a symbol reproduction described later is performed. Whether or not a hit is expressed in the process is determined by the process random number R. When the symbol reproduction process is selected, a symbol reproduction random number X is randomly selected to generate a symbol in a state where the reach has been lost.

For example, if the symbol selected by the jackpot symbol random number L is "3,3,3" and the symbol reproduction process is selected by the process random number R, the symbol reproduction random number S is randomly selected. Then, as a result, when the symbol "5" is designated, the losing reach symbol "5, 3, 5" is generated, and once stopped at this symbol. After a further symbol reproduction process, "3, 3, 3" is definitely displayed.

On the other hand, when the big hit special random number K is not a hit frame, a loss occurs, the special symbols A, B, and C are varied, and the loss symbol random numbers Ma, Mb, Mc are sequentially selected, and the special symbols A, B, C is displayed in a losing manner. At this time, if the symbol selected from the lost symbol random numbers Ma and Mb becomes the special symbol A = B, the reach random number N is drawn by lottery.
A reach operation according to a predetermined reach variation display mode is generated, and when a winning symbol is obtained, a lost symbol random number is selected again to make a lost symbol mode.

By the way, the lost symbol random numbers Ma, Mb, M
When a symbol having a relationship of A = B７C (for example, “7, 2, 7”) is generated by the lottery of c, a symbol reproduction process is executed, and as a result, the same symbol as that once stopped (for example, "7, 2, 7").

Next, the symbol reproduction process of the present invention will be described. As described above, in one embodiment of the present invention, when the game stops at the shifted symbol (losing reach symbol) in the reach state, all the symbols are displayed again through the symbol reproduction process.

The symbol reproduction process will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 4A, if the vehicle temporarily stops at the losing reach symbol “5, 3, 5” after the reach change,
As shown by the symbol row of x, the entire symbol is enlarged by zooming in on the center of the center of "3", and finally the entire screen is displayed as shown in FIG. , And the state becomes indistinguishable. Then, zoom out from the indeterminable state. In this zoomed out state,
As in the symbol row of FIG. 4y or 4z, the size gradually increases from the center of “3”, and finally all symbols are displayed. In the process, special symbols on both sides also appear, and in the case of a big hit like the symbol row in FIG.
Is changed to "3", and "3, 3, 3" shown in FIG. 4B is displayed as the fixed symbol. In the case of a losing reach symbol, zoom-out is performed as in the symbol row of FIG. 4y, and a lottery result of the losing symbol random numbers Ma, Mb, Mc is displayed at the time of determination as well as at the time of temporary stop. That is, as shown in FIG. 4C, “5, 3, 5” is confirmed and displayed as it is.

On the other hand, in the case of a big hit, depending on the lottery result of the process random number R, a big hit may be displayed as it is without going through the symbol reproduction process. Furthermore, even in the case of expressing with a losing reach symbol, the losing reach symbol may be determined as it is without going through the symbol reproduction process. Also in this case, the process random number R may be used.

On the other hand, FIG. 5 shows an example of an image displayed in an indistinguishable state. Except for FIG. 5C, in the center thereof, index symbols p _{1 to} p for estimating or foreseeing whether or not the reproduced symbol is a big hit. ₅ is displayed. Here, FIG. 5 b is constituted by the character of the "big hit" as an index symbol p _1.
In this case, a jackpot is displayed after zooming out, and therefore, a function of declaring a jackpot in a state where the jackpot cannot be determined is provided. The Figure 5 (b) indicator symbol p ₂ of is formed by a character "LUCKY", 5 f indicator symbol p ₅ of, like "LU in the heart graphic
The character "CKY" is indicated, and in any case, a function of notifying that a jackpot or other gain is given is provided. The 5 indicator symbol p ₄ ho is constituted by the character of "big hit might?", In this case, a likely jackpot. Furthermore, Figure 5 two of the index symbol _{p 3,} the "50
% "And has a function of displaying the jackpot probability. Similarly, various probabilities may be displayed in the range of “0%” to “100%”.

Each of the above-mentioned index designs p _{1 to} p ₅ is composed of characters, but various characters are expressed to indicate the possibility of a big hit depending on the type and movement of the character. You may do it. For example, “rock-paper-scissors” and “battle” are dynamically developed by a character or the like, and the result can suggest a reproduced symbol.

In the above-described configuration, as shown in FIG. 5, the indistinguishable state is such that the entire screen is uniformly covered with the base of the symbol and the special symbol is completely erased. Thus, only a part of the outline of the symbol may be left. In this case, a re-displayed symbol to be displayed in the next zoom-out may be selected from the similar symbol group by previously setting a similar symbol group including a symbol having such a part. In this case, a similar symbol group can be formed as long as not only the central portions of the special symbols but also the various special symbol portions have the same shape. For example, the figure "3" and the pattern "5" shown in FIG. So, by zooming up,
The lower part of “3” is enlarged around the center, and the lower part is enlarged and displayed in an indistinguishable state.
May be switched. That is, "5,3,5"
If you temporarily stop at the symbol of "5", the lower part of "3" expands to "5"
, And the player can expect reproduction to “5, 5, 5”.

In addition, the upper part of "3" and the upper part of "2",
A variety of similar symbol groups are identified so that the upper part of "8" and the upper part of "9", the upper part of "5" and the upper part of "6", the lower part of "6" and the lower part of "8" have the same identity. Proposed by this,
For a player, it may be possible to indicate the possibility of conversion to a specific limited number in a non-discriminating state. That is,
If you temporarily stop at the symbol of "5, 3, 5", the lower part of "3" may be enlarged and replaced with "5",
Thereby, the player can expect reproduction to “5, 5, 5”. In other words, depending on the temporarily stopped symbols, there is a symbol that can be a big hit and a symbol that is not possible, and an interesting symbol reproduction process can be realized.

In the above-described embodiment, the symbol to be redisplayed is either a temporarily stopped symbol or a big hit symbol, thereby giving a big hit re-chance. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, a symbol that is temporarily unrelated to the stopped symbol may be reproduced.

Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, when the player stops at the losing reach symbol, the symbol reproducing process is executed so as to give a big win again, but the symbol reproducing process is always performed. To be implemented,
Alternatively, the symbol reproduction step may be performed when other conditions are satisfied.

Here, the symbol reproduction process may be executed after the big hit symbol is displayed, and may be reproduced in another big hit symbol. For example, after the symbol change is stopped, the jackpot is displayed once, and if this is not a non-stochastic change symbol, the above-described zoom-up,
After the zoom-out is executed, a probability variation symbol (a jackpot symbol having a high probability of becoming a jackpot next time) may be reproduced. In this control, when the jackpot symbol R is to be displayed as it is with the process random number R, the jackpot symbol random number L may be re-lotted and the lottery symbol may be displayed after the symbol reproduction process. Further, as described above, even when a loss-reach symbol becomes a big hit symbol through a symbol reproduction process, another big hit symbol may be made through the symbol reproduction process again. As a result, there is a possibility that the symbol is reproduced into a jackpot symbol having a higher gain, and a symbol change mode that is more significant for the player can be realized.

The present invention is not limited to this embodiment, but can be implemented in various embodiments without departing from the gist of the present invention. Further, the present invention can be applied not only to a so-called one-sling pachinko machine but also to other models having a predetermined configuration such as a three-sling pachinko machine.

[0048]

According to the present invention, as described above, as a symbol variation mode executed on the screen of the symbol display device, all symbols are temporarily stopped after the symbol is changed, and the temporarily stopped symbol is zoomed up, and the symbol is changed. The state becomes indistinguishable, and the state is further zoomed out of the indistinguishable state, returned to the normal size, and a symbol reproduction process in which all symbols are redisplayed can be executed. The symbol can be reproduced without discomfort by the reciprocating motion of, and further, a new chance can be given to the player by the reproduced symbol, and the symbol variation mode and the symbol determination process are rich in change (claim Item 1).

Here, if the symbol to be re-displayed is either a stop symbol or a jackpot symbol, a symbol jackpot is given a chance to regain the jackpot by the symbol reproducing process, and the player has a greater sense of expectation. (Effect of claim 2).

Further, the symbol reproduction process may be executed when the game is temporarily stopped in a state where the reach is out of reach. In this case, the symbol reproduction process has the significance of a loser resurrection game. Item 3).

If it is assumed that the symbol reproducing process is executed after the big hit symbol is displayed and that there is a case where the big hit symbol may be reproduced, it is reproduced into a bigger winning symbol such as a probability variation symbol. Therefore, a symbol variation mode that is more significant for the player can be realized (the effect of claim 4).

Further, in the indistinguishable state, an index symbol for estimating or foreseeing whether or not the reproduced symbol is a big hit may be displayed on the symbol display device. In the disabled state, the player can predict the possibility of occurrence of a jackpot, and can induce various emotions to the player, such as expecting the result of zooming out (effect of claim 5). .
