Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a pachinko game machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, most of pachinko game machines provided with a symbol display device develop into a super-reach, which becomes a big hit state with a high probability when a reach occurs.

[0003]

However, in the conventional pachinko gaming machine, there is a problem that it is difficult to understand the timing of developing from the reach state, that is, the normal reach state to the super reach state. In addition, there is a method of developing a super reach when the normal reach is completed, but there is a problem that the game property during the normal reach is lacking.

An object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko gaming machine which pays attention to the above-mentioned conventional problems and which makes it easy to understand the timing of development from normal reach to super reach, and which is rich in game characteristics during normal reach. It was done as.

[0005]

According to the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention, the symbol of the symbol display device fluctuates due to the establishment of the starting condition, and after reaching the reach state, it enters the super reach state.
In a pachinko gaming machine configured to be in a big hit state when a predetermined symbol is displayed, a symbol row related to super reach is provided in a symbol row that fluctuates when a reach state is reached, and a symbol related to super reach is provided. It is characterized by performing control to develop to super reach during passing or after stopping.

[0006] The related symbol is inserted after reaching the reach state.

[0007] The related symbols are included in a symbol row that stops as a stop symbol from the beginning.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an electric wiring diagram of a pachinko gaming machine according to one embodiment.

In FIG. 1, CPU 1, ROM 2, RA
The M3, the I / Os 4, and 5 constitute an arithmetic processing device 100. The arithmetic processing device 100 includes a start switch 11, a count switch 12, a V switch 13, a variable winning device 1
4 and the special symbol display device 15 are connected. The start switch 11 is a switch that detects that a game ball has won a start winning port (not shown). Special symbol display device 1
Reference numeral 5 denotes a display device including a liquid crystal display or the like for displaying a three-row design including left-row display, middle-row display, and right-row display. The variable prize device 14 is a prize device that operates so that a game ball can easily win when a big hit occurs. The count switch 12 is a switch for counting the number of winning balls to the variable winning device 14. The V switch 13 is a switch for detecting that a game ball has won the V zone of the variable prize device 14, and whether the operation of the variable prize device 14 is continued or stopped is determined by turning on / off of the V switch 13. .

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the contents of the arithmetic processing executed by the CPU 1 in connection with the present embodiment.

In FIG. 2, first, the CPU 1 repeatedly determines whether or not a starting condition is satisfied based on a signal from the starting switch 11 (step S1). Specifically, it is repeatedly determined whether or not the start switch 11 has been turned on by a game ball winning the start winning port.

When it is determined that the start switch 11 has been turned on, the CPU 1 instructs the special symbol display device 15 to change the symbol, and the special symbol display device 15 displays the symbols in the left, middle and right rows, that is, the left symbol. The change of the row, the middle symbol row, and the right symbol row is started (step S2). Here, the left symbol row, the middle symbol row, and the right symbol row are each composed of nine numbers from “1” to “9” as shown in FIG. 3A, for example. Is "1, 2, 3, ..., 9,
1, 2, ... "on the display screen in order.

Thereafter, the left symbol row and the right symbol row are stopped in order, and only the middle symbol row continues to change (step S3).

Then, it is determined whether the stopped left symbol and the right symbol match (step S4). For example, when the left symbol is “3”, it is determined whether the right symbol is also “3”.

If the left and right symbols do not match, the reach is not reached, the middle symbol is stopped (step S5), and the final stop process for all symbols, that is, the process of returning all symbols to the normal state is performed (step S5). Step S6), and return to step S1.

On the other hand, when the left and right symbols match, the normal reach operation is started (step S7). In this normal reach, a medium symbol row consisting of nine numbers from "1" to "9" is added to a symbol related to a super reach that can be developed from the normal reach (referred to as a related symbol or a symbol for development). This is performed by changing to the middle symbol row and changing the middle symbol row after this change.
FIG. 3B shows an example of the middle symbol row after the normal reach, and this example is a change example of the middle symbol when the left and right symbols become “7” and the normal reach, and is changed from “1” to “9”. "
The symbols of horse, pool, TV station, and palm are added as related symbols to the numbers up to. The related design is
Like the numbers from "1" to "9", it may be added in advance as a stop stop symbol, but setting the related symbol according to the symbol that has reached the normal reach is richer in game characteristics. Thus, it is desirable to add (insert) after the occurrence of normal reach.

Next, the palm, the TV station,
It is determined whether or not a super reach has been developed during the passage of the symbol of the pool or the horse (steps S8, S9, S10, S
11) If the palm tree pattern has developed into a super reach during the passage, the samelliche is activated (step S12) and T
If the design has developed into a super reach during the passage of the symbol of the V station, the studio reach is operated (step S13). If the game has developed into a super reach during the passage of the symbol of (1), the horse race reach is operated (step S15). For example, as shown in FIG. 4 (A), after a normal reach has occurred with the left and right symbols being “7”, as shown in FIG. As shown in (C), one of the super reach, Samerych, starts operating. In addition, when it does not develop into a normal reach during the passage of the palm pattern and develops into a super reach during the passage of the horse pattern as shown in FIG. 4 (D), the super reach reaches as shown in FIG. 4 (E). The horse race reach, which is another one, starts operation. When the horse does not develop into a super reach during the passage of the symbol, as shown in FIG. 4 (F), the variation of the middle symbol row stops, and "missing" occurs. Although not shown in FIG. 4, the case where the game developed into a super reach during the passage of the symbol of the TV station or the pool, and the case where the game developed into the super reach during the passage of the pattern of the palm or the horse as described above, Similarly, the screen changes to a screen for super reach of studio reach or pool reach.

If a super reach occurs, then
After stopping the middle symbol row (step S5) and final stopping all the symbols (step S6), it is determined whether the symbol is a big hit symbol, that is, whether the left and right middle symbols all match (step S16). If it is determined to be a big hit symbol, a big hit process is performed (step S17). In the jackpot process, first, the variable winning device 14 is started to operate, and thereafter, the count switch 12 and the V switch 13
The operation of the variable winning device 14 is controlled by determining whether to operate or stop the variable winning device 14 intermittently on the basis of the respective detection signals from the CPU. On the other hand, when it is determined that the symbol is not a big hit symbol, the process returns to step S1.

On the other hand, if no super-reach has occurred, it is determined whether or not re-reach has been reached (step S18).
If it is determined that re-reach is to be performed, the process returns to step S8, and it is determined again whether or not super-reach is developed. In addition,
The number of times of re-reach is set every time a normal reach occurs, and the rate of development to super reach is higher in the second time than in the first time, and is higher in the third time than in the second time. . If it is determined that the reach is not a re-reach, the middle symbol row is stopped (step S5), and after all the symbols are finally stopped (step S6), it is determined whether or not the symbol is a big hit symbol (step S16). Is determined, a jackpot process is performed (step S1).
7) On the other hand, if it is determined that the symbol is not a big hit symbol, the process returns to step S1.

In the above four types of super reach, the reliability of the jackpot does not become uniform, but the reliability of the jackpot increases with each passing of the development point of the super reach. Set the reliability of the development point, Samerych low, set the reliability of the studio development and pool reach, which are development points thereafter, to medium, and set the reliability of the horse racing reach, the last development point, high. is there. In this way, by increasing the reliability of the jackpot every time the super reach development point passes, the sense of expectation of the jackpot gradually expands, and the game characteristics are further improved. In addition, as other things of super reach, there are heavenly woman reach, club reach and the like. Also, when the related symbol is set in advance as a lost stop symbol, when stopping at the related symbol, it may be left as it is, but after stopping, it may be developed into a super reach corresponding to the related symbol. If it is provided, a sense of expectation for the jackpot can be left.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment, the symbol of the symbol display device fluctuates due to the establishment of the starting condition, the state changes from the reach state to the super reach state, and when the predetermined symbol is displayed. In a pachinko gaming machine configured to be in a jackpot state, a symbol related to super reach is provided in a symbol row that fluctuates when the reach state is reached, and to a super reach during passing or stopping of the related symbol. Perform evolving controls. Therefore, it is easy to understand the timing of developing from the normal reach to the super reach, and the game is rich during the normal reach.

Further, by inserting the related symbols after the reach state, the related symbols can be set arbitrarily according to the symbols that have reached the normal reach.

Also, by including the related symbols in the symbol sequence that stops as a stop symbol from the beginning, it is possible to leave a sense of expectation to develop into a super reach after the stop.

[0025]

According to the present invention, the timing of development from normal reach to super reach is easy to understand, and the game is rich in normal reach.
