DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a so-called first-class pachinko gaming machine will be described. FIG. 1 is a front view of a gaming board 1 of a pachinko gaming machine. FIG. 2 shows a center case 4 provided at the center of the inside rail of the game board 1.
FIG. Here, a special symbol display device 6 including a liquid crystal display, a CRT display, a dot matrix or a 7-segment indicator is provided in the center case 4. Three special symbols A, B, and C are displayed in a display area F of the special symbol display device 6. This special design A, B,
For C, a symbol consisting of ten numbers “0” to “9” is displayed. The front portion of the special symbol display device 6 serves as a pass area for game balls, and the balls entering from the inflow ports 5 and 5 formed on both sides of the center case 4 form the front portion of the special symbol display device 6. Via the ordinary electric winning port 15 described later
It is flowing down.

On both lower sides of the center case 4, there are provided start memory number display devices 8 each composed of four pilot lamps. This starting storage number display device 8 displays the number of balls stored in the starting storage device constituted by a partial area of the storage device RAM shown in FIG. Further, on the upper portion of the center case 4, a normal symbol display device 10 including three LEDs is disposed. The three LEDs blink sequentially to indicate various combinations of lighting modes. When the lighting mode is a predetermined hit mode, the normal electric winning opening 15 is opened. The ordinary symbol display device 10 may be constituted by a liquid crystal display, one or a plurality of 7-segment indicators, or the like, and the hit or miss may be determined based on the display contents.

Further, a normal symbol start storage number display device 12 composed of four pilot lamps is provided immediately below the normal symbol display device 10, and a predetermined number of ball detection signals from the normal symbol start switch are provided. Storage device R as upper limit
When the data is stored in a partial area of the AM, the number of stored data is displayed.

On the other hand, on both sides of the center case 4, normal symbol operation gates (normal symbol start areas) 13, 13 are provided.
When a ball detection signal is generated from the normal start switch S2 (see FIG. 4) incorporated in the normal symbol display device 3,
0 changes the symbol.

In addition, at the position directly below the special symbol display device 6, the inside is a special symbol starting area 14, and the opening degree of the starting area (also used as a winning opening) is changed by opening / closing wing pieces so as to change the opening degree of the ordinary electric winning port 15. Are arranged. Then, when the display result of the ordinary symbol display device 10 is in the predetermined hit state as described above, the opening / closing wing piece is expanded for about 0.2 seconds,
The degree of opening of the special symbol starting area 14 is expanded so that the ball easily enters. A special symbol start switch S1 such as a photoelectric switch or a limit switch is provided in the normal electric winning opening 15.
(See FIG. 4), and special symbols A, B, and
C is variably displayed, and a predetermined symbol is stopped and displayed.

As shown in FIG. 3, a variable winning opening 23 having a specific area 25 and a normal area 26 is disposed below the ordinary electric winning opening 15, and the opening / closing piece 24 is connected to a large winning opening opening solenoid (see FIG. 3). A variable winning device 22 is provided for converting the variable winning opening 23 into one of an open state and a closed state by opening and closing control according to FIG. The variable winning device 22 includes a front plate 27 and a guide frame 28. The front plate 27 is provided with a variable winning opening 23 and an opening / closing piece 24 for opening and closing the variable winning opening 23. Body 28
Is provided with a specific area 25, a normal area 26, and a guide member 29 for guiding a game ball flowing from the variable winning opening 23 to either the specific area 25 or the normal area 26. Then, the special symbol display device 6 is displayed in a predetermined combination, and when a big hit occurs, the opening / closing piece 24 is opened, and in the opened state, the upper surface of the opening / closing piece 24 performs a guiding action, and guides the game ball to the variable winning opening 23. At the same time, when a game ball enters the specific area 25, it is possible to shift to the next opening / closing round, and a continuous opening operation is performed to provide a predetermined gain to the player.
The variable winning device 22 executes a special game operation to be described later. The variable winning port 23 has a specific area switch S3 for detecting a game ball entering the specific area 25 as shown in FIG. And a winning ball detection switch S4 for counting the number of winnings during a big hit. Here, the accessory continuous operation switch, together with the specific area switch S3,
It also has a function as a count switch that counts the spheres that have entered the specific area.

Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine will be described. When a game ball flows in from the special symbol starting area 14,
The special symbol display device 6 is driven together with the supply of the prize ball.
When the ball passes continuously, the ball detection by the start switch is stored in the start storage device (RAM), and based on the storage, the LED of the start storage number display device 8 is sequentially turned on as described above, Held up to four times. Each time the symbol starts to change, the LED is turned off, and the number of memories 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. Usually, after about 6.5 seconds or more, the symbols A, B, and C are arranged in the order of the special symbols A, B, and C. Fluctuation stops. And special design A, B,
When C becomes the same symbol combination as described later,
A big hit occurs and the sound generator (see Fig. 4)
Emits a fanfare, a special game operation is started, and a special winning opening opening solenoid (see FIG. 4) is driven.
The opening / closing piece 24 is tilted forward to open the variable winning opening 23, and an opening / closing round is executed. This opening and closing round,
The predetermined time limit (20 seconds, 30 seconds) elapses or continues within the predetermined time limit until nine or ten game balls are detected by the winning ball detection switch S4.
As described above, when the vehicle passes through the specific area 25 of the variable winning opening 23 and the specific area switch S3 is turned on, the condition for the next opening / closing round is satisfied, and the opening / closing piece 24 is once driven to close, and The round ends. Then, after the operation is completed, the variable winning opening 23 is opened again, and the process proceeds to the next opening / closing round. In this way, the opening and closing rounds are repeated up to 16 times, and the continuous opening operation of the variable winning opening 23 occurs, and a predetermined gain is provided to the player. Here, the accessory continuous operation switch also has a function as a count switch for counting the number of balls that have entered the specific area, in addition to the specific area switch S3. The sound generator is a central control unit CPU
And receives the sound data and outputs the sound data to the amplifier, so that each speaker emits a sound.

Further, in this game operation, when the special symbol is a big hit with a specific symbol (odd symbol), after the big hit game is completed, the symbol hit probability becomes a high probability (1/60), and the even number When the big hit is achieved in the symbol, the winning probability of the symbol becomes a low probability (1/300) after the big hit game ends. As described above, one of the normal state (low probability state) and the high probability state appears. In the high probability state, an advantageous state (variable shortening operation) in which the fluctuation time of the symbol is reduced in the special symbol or the ordinary symbol until the predetermined time expires is executed.
Such a probability state continues until the next jackpot occurs.

The control mode will be described in detail. The symbol fluctuation of the special symbols A, B and C described above is controlled by a symbol control device (symbol control means) 81 linked to a game control device 80 composed of a microcomputer including a central control device CPU and the like shown in FIG. You. Here, the central control unit CPU has a storage device ROM and a storage device RA.
M is connected. In a storage area of the storage device RAM, the ball detection signal from the start switch is stored up to a predetermined number.

Further, 0 to 899 is stored in the storage device ROM.
Is stored as the jackpot special random number K composed of 900 frames. Here, at the time of low probability in the normal gaming state, the jackpot special random number K is K = 7,347,647, which is the jackpot. That is, the jackpot probability is 3/900 = 1/300. Also, at high probability, K = 7,77,137,19
7,247,347,407,457,507,57
In the case of 7,647,767,847, it is a big hit. That is, the jackpot probability is 15/900 = 1/60. And the rest is lost.

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 and lost. I do. Furthermore, a reach random number N of 0 to 28 is stored in the storage device ROM. Since the reach random number N includes a plurality of types of special reach variation modes having different variation modes from those in the non-reach state, the reach random number N determines which reach variation mode to perform the reach operation. Is selected in the case of, and in the case of a lost design and A = B. As the special fluctuation mode, there are various fluctuation modes such as long reach, low speed scrolling, reverse running, acceleration stop from low speed running, and reversal of symbols.

Next, a symbol display mode using the above random numbers will be described. First, a special jackpot random number K is selected at the same time as the ball passes through the symbol starting area 14, and a hit or a loss is determined. In this process, if the starting memory number is full (four), the symbol starting area 1
If the ball passes through 4 and is invalid or fluctuating,
Processing such as adding one start storage number is performed. Then, the special symbol display device 6 fluctuates based on the ball passing into the symbol starting area 14 or the subtraction of the number of starting memories.

Then, the jackpot special random number K is drawn by lottery.
If this is a predetermined random number value, it will be a big hit. here,
As described above, at the time of low probability in the normal gaming state, the jackpot probability is 1/300. Also, 1/6 at high probability
0. The special symbols A, B, and C are changed with the generation of the ball detection signal from the start switch, or when the ball is stored in the start storage device, and the jackpot shown in FIG. A winning symbol is determined by selecting a value from the symbol random number L. Further, the reach random number N is drawn by lot, and it is determined in which special variation mode the reach operation is performed. Here, the jackpot symbol random number L is 1 from 0 to 9.
A winning symbol corresponding to the frame is selected. If this random number is an odd number (the stop symbol also corresponds to this number), the stop symbol is hit by the specific symbol, and the jackpot game ends and the timer TM has a high probability until a predetermined time elapses.

Then, the special symbols A and B are sequentially circulated and fluctuated and stopped, and the reach state is set so that the special symbols A and B become the same symbol. After a predetermined special operation mode designated by the reach random number N is executed, the special symbol C is executed. Is stopped, and the combination of the same symbols predetermined by the big hit symbol random number L is displayed on the special symbols A, B, and C so that the winning symbol mode is achieved. And it becomes a "big hit"
The operation of the variable winning device 23 described above is performed.

On the other hand, if K is not a hit frame, a loss occurs, the special symbols A, B, and C are changed, and random symbols Ma, Mb, and Mc are sequentially selected, and the special symbols A, B, and C are lost. indicate. At this time, when the symbol selected from the lost symbol random numbers Ma and Mb becomes the special symbol A = B, the reach operation is caused to occur, and when the winning symbol is obtained, the lost symbol random number is again generated. Is re-selected so that a lost symbol mode is obtained.

On the other hand, in the case where the symbol display device is variably displayed in accordance with the storage of the start storage device, there is a limit (usually four) in the number of start storage of the start storage device.
If this number is exceeded, even if there is a ball detection signal from the start switch, it becomes invalid. Therefore, in order to reduce the occurrence of invalid spheres due to such a full memory, it is desired that the number of starting memories be quickly consumed. Therefore,
Immediately after the jackpot (special game operation) is completed, a symbol fluctuation time shorter than the normal symbol fluctuation time is selected, and the fluctuation shortening operation (time saving) is executed for the special symbols A, B, and C. I have. That is, the fixed variation time of the special symbols A, B, and C (fixed time excluding the time required for symbol alignment) is normally 6 seconds, but is reduced to 2 seconds. This time saving state is controlled by the number of times of change. For example, if an odd number is a big hit, the number of times of change is 20 after the end of the special game operation.
The fluctuation reducing operation is executed up to 0 times, and when a big hit occurs in an even number, after the end of the special game operation, the fluctuation reducing operation is executed up to 50 times of fluctuation.

Next, the normal symbol operation will be described. When a game ball passes the normal symbol start gate 13, the game ball is detected by the normal start switch (see FIG. 4). When a ball is detected by the normal start switch, the normal symbol display device 10
Normal symbols fluctuate. This ordinary design is composed of three LEDs of left red, middle green and right red. When a ball is detected by the normal start switch while the normal symbol display device 10 is fluctuating or the normal electric accessory 15 is open, the ball detection is stored in a normal start storage device (RAM), and the number of stored balls is stored. LE of the normal symbol start storage number display device 12 with the digestion of
D is turned on, and usually turned off each time the symbol starts to change, and the number of stored items is displayed. Note that the maximum number of stored symbols in the normal symbol start storage number display device 12 is four, and any more than that is invalidated.

After the ordinary symbol display device 10 stops changing or after the opening operation of the ordinary electric accessory 15 is completed, the ordinary symbol display device 10 starts to change again based on the start memory displayed on the normal start memory number display device 12. I do. Ordinary symbol display device 1
In the normal state after the start of the fluctuation of 0, the fluctuation stops after a lapse of about 30 seconds or more. Be released.

On the other hand, during the above-mentioned variation reducing operation of the special symbol display device 6, the variation time of the ordinary symbol display device 10 is also reduced from the normal state of about 30 seconds, and the variation stops after about 5 seconds. That is, it is in a predetermined advantageous state. At the same time, the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory 15 is extended from about 0.2 seconds to about 3 seconds. This is also a benefit related to the present invention.

The symbol mode displayed when the ordinary symbol display device 10 stops changing is determined by the random number P per ordinary symbol stored in the storage ROM consisting of frames from "0" to "20". That is, when a ball is detected by the ordinary start switch, a random number value is selected from the random number P per symbol, and the content is stored.
At the same time as the start of fluctuation, the stored contents are examined and "3"
If it is any one of ~ 20, it is determined to be a hit. In the case of this hit, the stop mode is determined by the hit ordinary symbol random number Q, and at least one of the left red and the right red is turned on. In case of loss, medium green LED
Only the LED is turned on.

As described above, the pachinko gaming machine according to this embodiment has a high probability state in which the special symbol has a high probability of being a big hit, a special symbol time reduction state in which the special symbol has a short fluctuation time, and a short fluctuation time in the ordinary symbol. Various gain contents that are advantageous to the player after the end of the special game operation, such as a normal symbol time reduction state and a state in which the normal electric accessory is opened for a long time, appear.
On the other hand, a state in which no gain is provided occurs as a normal state.

These gain contents are related to the symbol contents in the jackpot symbol mode. That is,
The symbol form displayed in the display area F is “111”, “33”
In the case of "3", "555", "777", and "999", in the special game operation, the opening and closing round prescribed winning number is 10, the maximum opening time is 25 seconds, and after the big hit is over. , The high probability state (1/60) and the special symbol time-saving state where the special symbol fluctuation time is short, the normal symbol time-saving state where the normal symbol fluctuation time is short, and the state where the open time of the normal electric accessory is long Continue up to 200 times.
"000", "222", "444", "66"
6 "," 888 ", the special game operation
Each open / close round has 9 prizes and a maximum open time of 2
0 seconds, and after the jackpot, the low probability state (1
/ 300), and the special symbol time-saving state in which the fluctuation time of the special symbol is short, the normal symbol time-saving state in which the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is short, and the state in which the open time of the normal electric accessory is long continue up to 50 times.

As described above, according to the jackpot symbol, the content of the gain becomes diverse and varied, and for this reason,
The contents of the gain can only be accurately understood by a skilled player. Therefore, in the present invention, the gain content information is output and displayed on the symbol display device 6 so that all players can understand the gain content equally.

Next, the main part of the invention will be described. 5 to 10 show the symbol contents of a series of special game symbol effect operations displayed and output on the symbol display device 6 with the appearance of the big hit symbol mode. During these special game symbol effecting operations, a gain information area surface 40 is generated and displayed which lists gain contents information relating to the gain contents of the special game operation and / or the gain contents provided with the expiration of the special game operation.

FIGS. 5 and 6 show a configuration in which the output is displayed immediately before the start of the special game operation. That is, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6A, the jackpot symbol display mode “777” or “888” appears in the symbol display area of the symbol display device 6, and the “big hit” display (FIGS. 5 and 6B) is displayed. After that, the gain information area surface 40 is displayed. Then, in the case of the symbol display mode “777” on the gain information area surface 40,
Special game operation gain contents such as "Maximum number of continuous rounds 16R", "Regular winning number of 10 per round", "Maximum open time 25 seconds", "State change after big hit",
The details of the gain provided with the expiration of the special game operation, such as “big hit probability 1/60”, are displayed. Similarly, in the case of the symbol display mode “888”, the “maximum continuous round number 12
"R", "9 prize money per round", "maximum opening time 20 seconds", etc., and the details of the special game operation, "the state after the end of the big hit, normal", "big hit probability 1/300"
, Etc., the contents of the gain provided with the expiration of the special game operation. Thus, the gain content of the symbol display mode “888” is inferior to that of the symbol display mode “777”.

Then, with the start of the special game operation, an effect screen 41 appears. The effect screen 41 includes “7”, “R”
A general information display area surface 42 showing at least a hit symbol "7" in which "1" and "V" are displayed in the vertical direction, and an effect area surface 43 on which a character effect such as a pitcher repeating a pitch is performed.

As described above, the contents of the gain of the special game operation and / or
Or, by displaying the gain content information relating to the gain content provided with the expiration of the special game operation on the gain information area surface 40, the player can know the gain content in advance and enjoy the special game operation with confidence. In addition to this, it is possible to take measures such as assembling a game strategy based on the information, thereby maintaining the sense of tension and obtaining an advantage that the game can be easily mounted even in a game arcade. In addition, since the gain information area surface 40 in which the gain content information is displayed is displayed as a part of the special game design effect operation, the information is clearly shown to the player, and the gain information area surface 4 is displayed.
0 itself constitutes a part of the effect, and the effect of the effect and the information content are integrated, so that the player can be given an exhilaration sensation.

FIGS. 7 and 8 relate to a configuration in which the gain information area surface 40 is exposed between each opening and closing round. That is, not only the gain information area surface 40 is exposed immediately before the first opening / closing round (R1) (A in FIGS. 7 and 8), but also the gain information area surface immediately before the second opening / closing round (R2). 40 is displayed. In this case, the gain information area surface 40 having the same information content is displayed in FIGS. 7 and 8A and FIGS. Note that the number of remaining rounds may be displayed instead of the maximum number of continuous rounds, and the gain content information may be sequentially changed as each open / close round is consumed. Here, in FIGS. 7 and 8A and FIGS. 7 and 8C, in the case of the symbol display mode “777” instead of the jackpot probability,
In the case of “200 times reduction” and the symbol display mode “888”, “50 times reduction” is displayed.

In each of the above-described configurations, the gain information area surface 40 temporarily disappears at the start of the opening / closing round (start of the special game operation). However, as shown in FIGS. May be continuously displayed. That is, the effect screen 4 that appears when the special game operation starts.
1, a general information display area surface 42 showing at least a winning symbol in which "7", "R1" and "V" are displayed in the vertical direction.
