DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lottery using a random number counter which is executed by winning a starting port, and when the lottery results in a winning value determined at a predetermined probability, it is advantageous to a player. The present invention relates to a gaming machine provided with a symbol variation control means for notifying a player by displaying on a display unit that a game state has been established.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a gaming machine, especially a pachinko machine, a lottery is performed by detecting a pachinko ball which has won a start winning prize port (special symbol start prize port). As a result,
There is a pachinko machine that has a function of opening a special winning opening a predetermined number of times for a predetermined period of time and increasing a winning rate of a game ball, thereby making the state advantageous to a player.

[0003] In this type of pachinko machine, a display unit (usually a liquid crystal display screen) is provided at the center of the gauge board of the pachinko machine in order to notify the player of the result of the lottery. This display unit is configured with a plurality of rows of symbol variation screens (there is also a background screen), and is configured to notify a hit or miss in a line when the symbols are stopped. The player
By looking at the symbol change screen, it is possible to give a sense of expectation because it is a pleasure to see whether it is right or wrong.

[0004] Such game characteristics of the pachinko machine are applied to almost all pachinko machines.
Various game modes are used together to give a slight difference from other machines and to improve the game characteristics.

In the first game mode, when a certain condition is satisfied, the probability of the symbol is changed. This can increase the probability of a big hit in the symbol fluctuation state.

However, the player cannot visually confirm the state of the increased probability, and the player cannot intentionally aim for the big hit.

In the second game mode, when a certain condition is satisfied, the symbol variation time is reduced (so-called time saving). This is a ball that indicates that the effect display of the winning ball is in a standby state when the winning ball is won while the symbol is changing, by shortening the symbol changing time. Notifying the player in the lit state, at present,
Up to four can be reserved. ) Can reduce the number of canceled balls by digesting faster.

[0008] However, the second game mode, like the first game mode, does not aim at a big hit.

Next, in the third game mode, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the opening pattern (time) of the accessory (such as an electric tulip) is changed. This can increase the prize balls by devising the way of hitting.

However, the increase of the prize balls is slight, and has nothing to do with a jackpot having a high profit (a large increase in prize balls). For this reason, it is not possible to aim for a big hit, and the degree of improvement in game characteristics is low.

As described above, there are many gaming machines having game characteristics different from those of a normal game. However, there is no game machine having a high degree of improvement in game characteristics such that a player actively aims at a big hit. Has no room for intervention, and the game is poor for the player.

[0012] In consideration of the above facts, the present invention can be operated by a player's intervention to be in a state advantageous to a player who has a high profit by the player's intervention, thereby greatly improving the game characteristics. The aim is to get a gaming machine that can.

Below the first indicator section 256, a second indicator section 258 is provided. The second indicator unit 258 has the same configuration as the first indicator unit 256, and functions as an indicator for displaying a result. That is, special symbol starting winning opening 1
Lights up when the player wins 26 (see hatched portion C in FIG. 5),
The relative position between the lighting position and the lighting position of the random number counter by the first indicator unit 256 is linked to the difference between the hit / miss. For this reason, the player can visually confirm the difference between the winning time performed by his / her own operation and the winning time.

By executing display on the display section 124 by the pair of indicator sections 256 and 258, the player operates the handle 136 and the stop button 137,
At the target position illuminated by the second indicator unit 258,
When the lighting position of the first indicator unit 256 comes, the operation can be performed so that the pachinko ball wins the special symbol start winning opening 126.

The operation of the present embodiment will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, when the pachinko ball is fired, it is guided by the rail 112 and the nail 116 of the gauge portion 114 or the windmill 1
While abutting on 18 etc., it falls while moving unpredictably. Here, when a prize hole 120 is won, a predetermined number of pachinko balls are paid out (prize balls). Further, when the normal symbol starting winning port 130 is won, the normal symbol winning sensor 170 detects this.

By this detection, the main control board 150
Ordinary symbol lottery starts. That is, a number from 0 to 9 is randomly selected with a predetermined probability using a random number counter.
If the result of the lottery is off, there is no particular change in the gaming state. On the other hand, if the lottery results in a win (for example, a winning number of 7 is drawn), the main control board 150 opens the electric tulip 134 provided in the special symbol starting winning opening 126 so as to open. Power is supplied to the solenoid 174. As a result, a high probability state in which the pachinko ball easily enters the special symbol starting winning opening can be achieved.

When a pachinko ball is won in the special symbol start winning port 126 (step 300), the main control board 150
Then, a jackpot lottery is started at a predetermined establishment using a random number counter (step 302). As a result of this jackpot lottery, if the win / miss is determined,
An effect pattern (symbol variation pattern) prepared in advance is selected (may be selected by a random number counter) (step 30).
4) A command signal is sent to a control board related to the effect including the symbol display control board 160 (step 306).

The symbol display control board 160 displays a symbol variation pattern on the display unit 124 via the display driver 166 based on the received command signal. In this symbol variation pattern, there are various effects such as hitting through reach, out-of-reach, and out-of-reach, and the player can wait for the lottery result with a sense of expectation.

Here, in the case of a hit (step 308), the opening and closing member 129 of the special winning opening 128 is opened for a predetermined time and a predetermined number of times, so that the probability of winning a pachinko ball becomes extremely large. (Step 310).

If a pachinko ball wins in the special symbol starting winning opening 126 during the symbol variation display, the lottery is performed at that time, but the symbol variation display currently in progress waits until the symbol variation display is completed. . This is the hold lamp 200
Is turned on to notify the player.

Here, in the present embodiment, when a hit occurs (step 310), it is further determined whether or not to shift to the special game state (step 312), and the mode signal is transmitted to the symbol display control board 160. (Step 314), and if the result of the determination is that the game mode is the special game mode, the mode is shifted to the special game mode and the game proceeds. Hereinafter, this special game mode will be mainly described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

At step 350, it is determined whether or not the mode signal sent from the main control board 150 is a special game mode signal.
The routine proceeds to 52, where the display of the display unit 124 is controlled in the normal gaming state (display form in FIG. 4), and this routine ends.

If it is determined in step 350 that the signal is the special game mode signal (affirmative determination), the process proceeds to step 354 to display the display unit 1 in the special game mode.
24 (display form in FIG. 5), and step 356
Move to.

In step 356, the variation state of the random number counter is displayed on the first indicator unit 256 by moving the lighting (see the hatched portion A in FIG. 5). That is, the display scale 2
Lighting of 60 is repeated starting from the left end side in FIG. 5, moving sequentially to the right end, and returning to the left end.

In the next step 358, a target position as a position corresponding to the hit value by the random number counter is displayed at a predetermined position of the first indicator section 256 (see the shaded area B in FIG. 5). In this display, the moving lighting color and the color tone may be changed, or the density may be changed.

The display of the first indicator section 256 allows the player to intuitively recognize the fluctuation state of the random number counter and the timing of hitting by visual observation.
By operating the handle 136 and the stop button 137, it is possible to operate the winning time to the special symbol starting winning opening 126. That is, the player can intervene when the player wins a very useful hit.

In the next step 360, it is determined whether or not the pachinko ball has won the special symbol starting winning port 126.
If an affirmative determination is made, the process proceeds to step 362, in which the display scale 260 at a predetermined position of the second indicator 258 is turned on (see the hatched portion C in FIG. 5). This position is the first
There is a correlation with the display position of the indicator unit 256,
The difference between the relative position and the target position is linked to the deviation from the hit value obtained by the random number counter. This allows the player
It is possible to recognize the difference between the winning timing of the special symbol starting winning opening 126 and the winning timing performed by the user's own operation, and reflect the difference in the subsequent adjustment.

In the next step 364, it is determined whether or not the special game mode has ended. If the determination is negative, the process returns to step 356, and if the determination is affirmative, the process ends.

In the present embodiment, the player is intervened by using the existing handle 136 and the stop button 137. However, as shown in FIG. Limiting member 26 such as
2 may be arranged so that it can be opened and closed by a motor or the like, and an operation unit 264 capable of operating the drive of this motor may be provided near the handle 136. Thereby, the winning time in the special symbol starting winning opening 126 can be performed more reliably than the operation of the handle 136 or the stop button 137, and the operation while watching the first indicator unit 256 and the second indicator unit 258 can be performed. Can be made advantageous.

Further, in the present embodiment, the first and second indicator portions 256 and 258 have a band shape, but may have a circular shape (including a donut shape) as shown in FIG.
In this case, in FIG.
6, the inside is the second indicator 258, but the reverse is also possible. Further, they may be separately arranged.

Further, in the present embodiment, a special game mode is provided in addition to the normal game mode, and the first and second indicator units 2 are provided in the special game mode.
56 and 258 are displayed (see FIG. 5), but the first and second indicator sections 25 are always provided without providing a mode.
