In the case of a hit, a symbol mode such as "333" in which each of the special symbols A, B, and C is the same symbol is determined.

Further, a winning symbol random number M is stored in the storage device ROM. The hit symbol random number M is 0,1
This is to select one gain symbol aspect type from a plurality of gain symbol aspect types. In the present embodiment, as the gain symbol mode type, there is provided a positive variation pattern mode in which the probability of a hit after the special game operation is improved and a normal symbol mode in which the probability of a hit after the special game operation is not improved. . Here, when the winning symbol random number M is M = 0, the normal symbol mode is selected, and when M = 1, the positively changing symbol mode is selected. That is, one of the gain symbol mode types is selected with a probability of 1/2.

As described above, the storage device ROM stores the lost symbol random numbers Ma, Mb, Mc and the reach random number N.
And a reach symbol random number P are stored. The lost symbol random numbers Ma, Mb, Mc determine the symbols of the special symbols A, B, C in the event of a loss. Furthermore, the reach random number N selects whether or not to execute a reach operation in the case of a loss, and selects a type of reach variation mode that is executed in the reach operation and is different from that in the non-reach state. As the reach variation mode, for example, there are various variation modes such as long reach, low speed scrolling, reverse running, acceleration stop from low speed running, and reversal of symbols. The reach symbol random number P determines a reach symbol when the reach operation is performed.

When the special symbol display device 6 is driven, the special symbols A, B, and C start to fluctuate according to a predetermined symbol permutation. Usually, when about 6.5 seconds or more elapse, the special symbols A, B, and C are displayed. Symbol fluctuation stops in order. The special symbols A, B, and C are fixedly displayed in predetermined symbols according to the above-described random numbers.

Here, when the special symbol display device 6 starts to fluctuate, a special winning random number K is determined, and if this is the above-mentioned hit value, a temporary provisional symbol random number L, a reach random number N, and a reach symbol random number P The symbol generation process is performed in accordance with. In this case, the special symbols A and B are sequentially stopped in accordance with the reach symbol random number P, the reach state is set so that the symbols become the same symbol, and a predetermined reach symbol variation mode designated by the reach random number N is executed. The special symbol C is stopped, and the special symbols A, B, and C are fixedly displayed according to the provisional symbol random number L such that the special symbols A, B, and C have a predetermined winning symbol mode. And it becomes a "big hit", and the operation of the above-mentioned big winning opening 23 starts,
A special game operation is executed.

On the other hand, if the winning special random number K is not the above-mentioned winning value, the symbols of the special symbols A, B and C are displayed in a losing manner. Here, when the reach random number N is selected not to perform the reach operation, the lost symbol random numbers Ma, Mb, Mc
, The symbols of the special symbols A, B, and C are fixedly displayed. On the other hand, when the execution of the reach operation is performed, the symbol mode in which the special symbol A = B is determined by the reach symbol random number P,
After the reach symbol is once displayed and a predetermined reach symbol variation mode is executed in accordance with the reach random number N, the special symbol C is stopped so as to become a lost symbol, and is finally displayed.

On the other hand, the storage device R of the main control board 60
In the case where the special symbol display device 6 is variably displayed with the storage of the special symbol start storage number stored in the AM, the special symbol start storage number of the storage device RAM is limited as described above (normally). 4), and when this number is exceeded,
Even if there is a game ball detection signal from the special symbol start switch S1, 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 special game operation by hitting is completed, a symbol fluctuation time shorter than the normal symbol fluctuation time is selected, and the fluctuation shortening operation (time saving) is performed for the special symbols A, B, and C. ing. That is, the average variation time (time required from the start of the symbol variation to the stop) required for the symbol generation process of the special symbols A, B, and C is usually 10 seconds, and is reduced to 5 seconds.

Next, the normal symbol operation will be described. When the game ball passes the normal symbol start gate 13, the game ball is detected by the normal symbol start switch S2. When a game ball is detected by the ordinary symbol start switch S2, the ordinary symbol of the ordinary symbol display device 10 changes. This ordinary design is
Three light emitting diode LEDs of left red, middle green and right red
It consists of. When a game ball is detected by the normal symbol start switch S2 while the normal symbol display device 10 is changing or the normal electric accessory 15 is being opened, the game ball is detected in the storage device RAM of the main control board 60. Is stored, and the light-emitting diode LED of the normal symbol start storage number display device 12 is turned on as the stored number is exhausted, and is turned off each time the normal symbol starts to change, and the stored number is displayed. In addition, the maximum number of storages of the normal symbol start storage number display device 12 is four, and more than four are invalid.

After the fluctuation of the ordinary symbol display device 10 is stopped,
Alternatively, 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 ordinary symbol start memory number display device 12. When about 30 seconds or more elapse after the normal symbol display device 10 starts to fluctuate, the fluctuation stops, and if at least one of the left and right light-emitting diodes LED is lit, it becomes a hit, and the normal electric accessory 1
5 is released for about 0.2 seconds.

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 6 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 2 seconds.

Here, the symbol pattern displayed when the normal symbol display device 10 stops changing is a normal random number consisting of 55 frames from 0 to 54 stored in the storage device ROM of the main control board 60. Determined by U. When the normal symbol start switch S2 is turned ON by passing the game ball, the main control board 60 randomly selects the random number U and the random number Q for the normal symbol from the storage device ROM, and temporarily stores the content in the storage device RAM. Memorize, ordinary symbol display device 1
At the same time as 0 starts to fluctuate, the stored contents are examined to determine a hit or a loss corresponding to the lottery value of the normal random number U. In the case of a hit, the stop mode is determined by the hit ordinary symbol random number Q, and at least one of the left red color and the right red color is turned on. In the case of a loss, only the middle green light emitting diode LED is turned on.

Next, an operation mode of the special game operation according to the main part of the present invention will be described. In the present invention, when the special symbols A, B, and C fluctuate as described above, and once the temporary provisional symbol mode selected by the temporary temporary symbol random number L is stopped, the special game operation is continuously performed. This special game operation repeatedly executes an opening and closing round.

First, the first opening / closing round (one round)
Is started, and when a game ball flows into a specific area during the opening / closing round, the winning symbol random number M is randomly selected in order to select a symbol mode that determines a probability of winning next time. Based on the random number value (M = 0 or 1) selected by lottery, a probable symbol mode or a normal symbol mode is selected. Then, the selected elements supporting the selected symbol mode are displayed in the vote progress display area F '. Alternatively, the selected symbol mode is displayed by the adoption index.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 (a) to 4 (c), the adopted element is rendered and displayed by a ball displayed in the vote progress display area F ', and a normal symbol is displayed depending on the inclination of the seesaw. The effect and the number of the mode and the probable design mode are displayed. In such an effect display, for example, when the normal symbol mode is selected in response to the inflow of a game ball to a specific area, a ball expressing a normal symbol adoption element that supports the normal symbol mode is on one side of the seesaw. The number of the selected elements is expressed by the inclination of the seesaw accompanying the addition, and the current addition state is rendered and displayed. on the other hand,
When the probable design mode is selected, the ball representing the probable design adoption element that supports the probable design mode is added to the other side of the seesaw. Here, it is preferable that the selected elements added in the opening / closing round have a configuration in which the color of the ball or the like is changed so that the game content can be easily understood. Note that the selection history of the symbol mode for each opening and closing round is stored in the main control board 60.
Is stored each time in the storage device RAM.

Since the inflow of the game ball into the specific area is a condition for shifting to the next opening / closing round (two rounds), the next opening / closing round is continuously executed. Here, when the game ball flows into the specific area during the two rounds, any one of the symbol modes is selected in the same manner as in the first round, and the selected elements supporting the selected symbol mode are added. Then, the number of selected elements (balls on the screen) is determined based on the addition history in the previous opening / closing round and the addition in the opening / closing round, and the inclination of the seesaw is rendered again according to the number.

Then, once the opening / closing round is completed, the process proceeds to the next opening / closing round (3 rounds), and the same opening / closing round is repeated up to 15 times. Here, FIG. 4B shows an example of one display form of the vote progress display area F ′ in seven rounds. In such a case, five normal design adopting elements (balls on the screen) supporting the normal design mode are displayed, and two positive design adoption elements supporting the positive design mode are displayed. Is displayed.

On the other hand, if the inflow of the game ball to the specific area is not detected during the opening / closing round, or if the execution is performed up to the final round (15 rounds) of the upper limit, no symbol mode is selected, and At the end of the opening / closing round, the gain symbol type related to the larger number of acquired supports up to the opening / closing round is fixedly displayed, and the game state corresponding to the gain symbol type is provided to the player with a predetermined probability of hitting. Is done. Here, FIG. 4C is an example of one display form in 15 rounds in which the effect is displayed in the vote progress display area F ′. In such a case, the gain symbol mode type related to the larger number of acquired supports up to the 15th round is determined to be the probability variable symbol mode, and the probability of winning after the special game operation is determined to be high.

After the final round, the symbol pattern that is definitely displayed in the special symbol display area F is either the probable symbol mode or the normal symbol mode. The probable symbol mode is the odd symbol mode “111”. "333", "555",
"777", and the normal symbol mode is an even-number symbol mode. Here, for example, if the hit provisional symbol is once displayed in the normal symbol mode “444” and is definitely displayed in the positive variation symbol mode “777” after the execution of the special game operation, the gain of the player is You have been promoted. Therefore, the player has a higher expectation for the subsequent game. In addition, if the temporary provisional symbol is once displayed in the even symbol mode (normal symbol mode) and the even symbol mode (normal symbol mode) is definitely displayed after the special game operation, the next hit probability is maintained as it is. Becomes Therefore, the player is motivated to try to obtain a more advantageous game situation. Note that, even when the temporary provisional symbol mode is displayed in the odd symbol mode and the odd symbol mode is definitely displayed after the special game operation, the next hit probability is naturally maintained similarly. Further, if the hit provisional symbol is once displayed in the probable symbol mode "555" and is finally displayed in the normal symbol mode "666" after the execution of the special game operation, the gain of the player has been demoted. Becomes In such a case, the player becomes unwilling to play the game, and the player has emotions such as discouragement and impatience. In addition, since the selection history of the symbol mode of each opening / closing round is effected and displayed one by one, the player does not become distracted by the game even during the special game operation.

As described above, any one of the gain symbol mode types is selected for each inflow of the game ball to the specific area during each opening / closing round, and the gain symbol mode type is selected based on the accumulated selection result. Is determined, the player intentionally causes the game ball to flow into the specific area or performs a hitting operation to avoid the flow in order to obtain a desired gain symbol mode type. . For this reason, even during the special game operation, the player has a strategic property in the ball hitting operation. For example, in the case where a game state advantageous to the player is caused by the inflow of the game ball into the specific area during any of the opening and closing rounds, the game ball is not intentionally flown into the specific area in the next opening and closing round. In addition, a hitting operation for spontaneously generating a so-called puncture and terminating the special game operation may be proposed. By performing such a hitting operation, the player can make the gaming state after the end of the special game operation advantageous. Also, for example, in the case where the game content is determined in advance so that a symbol mode type disadvantageous to the player is selected during the odd-numbered opening / closing round, while an advantageous symbol mode type is selected during the even-numbered opening / closing round In the above, during odd-numbered opening and closing rounds, only game balls flow into a specific area necessary to satisfy the conditions for transition to the next opening and closing round, while on the other hand, during even-numbered opening and closing rounds, intentionally specify A ball hitting operation that allows a large amount of game balls to flow into an area is proposed.
By performing such a hitting operation, the player can obtain a large gain by the special game operation, and also can make the game state after the special game operation advantageous.

Further, there is proposed a configuration in which a gain symbol mode type is selected using the number of acquired and supported numbers of selected elements as a selection element.

FIGS. 5 (a) to 5 (c) show an example of a symbol effect display for determining either the normal symbol mode or the probable symbol mode by using the number of acquired supports as a selection element. . In such an effect display, the effect display is performed such that the mass of the ball indicating the normal symbol adopting element is twice as large as the mass of the ball indicating the positive variable symbol adopting element. That is,
Not only the number of acquired supports, but also the mass of each ball is a determining factor for determining the type of gain symbol. For example, FIG. 5 (a) shows an example of one display form at the time of one round, in which the mass of a ball indicating a normal symbol adopting element (in the round, the mass is zero because the number of balls to be mounted is zero). The seesaw is tilted toward the positive variable design side by comparing the mass of the ball indicating the positive variable design adopting element (for one ball). Subsequently, FIG. 5B shows an example of one display form in seven rounds. In this case, the normal symbol adopting element has been selected three times so far, including the seven rounds, while the positive variable symbol adopting element has been selected four times, but the normal symbol adopting element is shown as described above. Since the ball was previously determined to be twice the mass of the ball indicating the probable design adoption element, the mass of six balls and the mass of four balls were simulated,
Therefore, the seesaw is normally tilted to the symbol side. Further, FIG. 5 (c) shows an example of one display form in 15 rounds, where the normal design side has a mass of six balls, and the probable design side has a mass of twelve balls. are doing. Therefore, the seesaw tilts to the probable symbol side, and the fifteenth round is the final opening / closing round as described above, so the symbol mode provided to the player is determined to be the probable symbol mode,
The probability of winning after the special game operation is determined as a high probability.

FIGS. 6A to 6C show that not only the number of acquired supports but also the moment generated in the seesaw is a deciding factor for determining the type of the gain symbol.
In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 6 (a) to 6 (c), the fulcrum of the seesaw is movable and is formed at a position displaced from the center of the seesaw base to the normal symbol side. Is displayed in. Therefore, even when the same number of balls are placed on both sides of the seesaw, the seesaw does not become in an equilibrium state, but tilts, and tilts to the positively-variable design side. However, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, it is predetermined that the masses of the balls are all the same. For example,
In a case where the normal symbol adopting element is selected in one round, even if a ball indicating the selected element is mounted on the normal symbol side, the seesaw does not tilt to the normal symbol side based on the moment acting on the seesaw (see FIG. 6 (a)). Further, when a predetermined number or more of the normal symbol adopting elements are selected, and when a plurality of balls are mounted on the normal symbol side, the seesaw tilts toward the normal symbol side (see FIG. 6B). By adopting such a configuration, there is a case where the gain symbol mode in which the number of the selected elements obtained in the final determination of the gain symbol mode is smaller is provided to the player (see FIG. 6 (c)). ).
By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to make the process of determining the type of the gain symbol mode various, and the player cannot easily foresee the progress of the game. Will hold you. It should be noted that the movable fulcrum can be appropriately moved during the progress of the game.

Here, as another embodiment, an adoption index that digitally expresses a process of selecting the type of gain symbol type is applied, and the gain symbol type to be provided to the player is fixedly displayed. Is proposed.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 7A to 7C, an indicator composed of an upper area a and a lower area b is produced and displayed on the vote progress display area F '. Further, a plurality of lighting regions are formed in layers in the upper region a and the lower region b, respectively. When at least one lighting region is lit in the upper region a, the number of times selected before the opening / closing round is reduced. The effect display shows that many gain design mode types are probable variable design mode types. On the other hand, when at least one lighting area is lit in the lower area b, it is effected and displayed that the gain symbol type that has been selected many times before the opening / closing round is the normal symbol type.

Here, as shown in FIG.
When the certain variation symbol mode is selected in response to the inflow of the game ball to the specific area during the round, an effect is displayed so that one lighting area of the upper area a is lit. On the other hand, when the normal symbol mode is selected (not shown), an effect is displayed so that one lighting area of the lower area b is lit. The selection history of the symbol mode for each opening / closing round is stored in the storage device RAM of the main control board 60 each time.

When the second round is continuously executed and the inflow of the game ball to the specific area is detected during the opening / closing round, and the certainty-variable symbol mode is selected accordingly, FIG. As shown in b), the selection history of the previous round (1 round) is added to the selection history of the current round (2 rounds), and two lighting areas are displayed in the upper area a indicating that the probable variable pattern has been selected. The effect is displayed so that it lights up. Note that when the positively-variable design mode is selected in one round and the normal design mode is selected in the next two rounds, all the lighting areas are turned off (not shown). That is,
The effect is displayed on the indicator based on the selection history for each opening and closing round. Here, FIG. 7 (c) is an example of one display form in 15 rounds in which the effect is displayed in the vote progress display area F ′. In such a case, the gain symbol type having a large number of selections up to 15 rounds is determined to be the normal symbol type, and the probability of winning after the special game operation is determined as the normal probability. With such a configuration, any one of the gain symbol mode types is confirmed and displayed, so that the player can easily know the current game state.

FIGS. 8A to 8C show an embodiment in which the seesaw is rendered and displayed so as to tilt about a movable fulcrum moving along the seesaw and select a gain symbol type according to the tilting side. It is an example of a form example. In such an embodiment, during the opening / closing round, and when any of the gain symbol modes is selected during the opening / closing round, the movable fulcrum is placed on the seesaw stand on the opposite side of the selected symbol side. , And the seesaw is tilted in accordance with the moment acting on the seesaw in accordance with the movement, so as to produce and display a gain symbol mode type having a large number of selections up to the opening / closing round. A plurality of movement scales indicating the movement distance of the movable fulcrum are formed on the seesaw base of the seesaw.
The effect is displayed so that the movable fulcrum moves according to the scale.

FIG. 8 (a) shows a case where a normal symbol is selected in one round. In such a case, the movable fulcrum moves to the positively changing symbol side by one scale, and the effect is displayed in such a manner that the seesaw is tilted to the normal symbol side in a pseudo manner according to the moment acting on the seesaw. Further, the movable fulcrum moves each time a gain symbol mode is selected in each opening / closing round, and the seesaw is tilted accordingly, thereby rendering and displaying a gain symbol mode type having a large number of current selections. (See FIGS. 8B and 8C).

It is to be noted that, instead of the configuration in which the seesaw is effected and displayed in the above-described embodiment, for example, a configuration in which a balance, a flap or the like is effected and displayed may be provided. Any configuration can be applied as long as the configuration is such that the selected gain symbol mode is sequentially displayed by tilting the table.

In each of the above-described embodiments, the game content may be always executed by the voting progress informing means according to the present invention after the provisional winning symbol is displayed. Further, the case where the next hit probability is determined at the same time as the final display of the temporary provisional symbol, and the game content according to the present invention is executed after the final display of the temporary provisional symbol, and the next probability is determined based on the result. Any game content may be executed at an arbitrary probability. With such a configuration, it is possible to provide a pachinko gaming machine having more varied game contents.

Further, in the above-described configuration, the type of the gain symbol having a large earning profit is changed to the probable-variable symbol type. Other gains include various gains such as the total number of pitched balls and the probability of hitting the ordinary symbol. May be proposed, and a gain symbol type may be generated in accordance with the gain.

The above-mentioned voting progress informing means is configured to select any one of the gain symbol mode types due to the inflow of the game ball into the specific area. The selection based on the passing of the game ball to 14 and the display of the addition status of the selected elements during the opening / closing round or the selection process by the selection index may be related to only the effect display. In such a configuration, in order to prevent the player from being excessively discouraged, in the case of a winning in the probable changing symbol mode, the symbol confirmed and displayed after the special game operation is limited to only the probable changing symbol mode, and the so-called hit probability Can be set in advance to a configuration excluding the demotion.

As a means for displaying the voting progress status, the voting progress display area F 'may be displayed in a partial area of the special symbol display area F instead of the voting progress display area F', or the special symbols A, B, It may be displayed on the background of C. Also,
A light-emitting display may be provided on the game board 1 and displayed in various lighting modes of the light-emitting display, or a sound may be notified using a speaker provided in a pachinko gaming machine. .

Further, the present invention can be applied to a third-class pachinko game machine. Further, the embodiments according to the present invention are not limited to the above embodiments, and can be implemented in various embodiments without departing from the gist of the present invention.

According to the present invention, as described above, the voting progress informing means is provided, and the process until the type of gain symbol is determined is sequentially notified to the player. Until the operation is completed, the type of the gain symbol mode to be provided cannot be foreseen, and the player has a feeling of expectation for the notification content. In addition, it becomes possible to impart diversity to the process of determining the type of gain symbol aspect provided to the player,
The game content will be highly entertaining.

Further, the game control means selects any one of the gain symbol mode types for each inflow of the game ball into the specific area during each opening / closing round, and determines the gain symbol mode type based on the accumulated selection result. Is determined, the player intentionally hits the game ball to obtain a desired gain mode type. Therefore, even during the special game operation, it is possible to create a strategy in the ball hitting operation of the player. Furthermore, since the selected elements and the number of the selected elements or the index result of the selected index are sequentially notified based on the selection result, the player can understand the current game situation simply and clearly.

When the voting progress informing means is configured to effect display of a predetermined gain symbol type regardless of the opening / closing round, control contents such as a symbol to be confirmed and effect display are determined in advance. It becomes possible.

Further, by adopting a configuration having a probable variable pattern mode and a normal symbol mode as a plurality of gain symbol mode types, when a probable variable pattern mode is selected, the player further has a sense of expectation for the game. That is, when the normal symbol mode is selected, the player is motivated to take a challenge in an advantageous game situation. That is, it is possible to increase the concentration of the player on the game and to improve the interest of the game.

Further, when the display contents confirmed and displayed by the voting progress notification means are displayed by the symbol display device, the player turns his / her eyes to the symbol display device which the player will pay particular attention to during the game. As it is, it is possible to know the accumulation state of the number of selected elements or the process of determining the gain symbol mode based on the selected index. In addition, when the notification is performed by a notification device other than the symbol display device, the player can sequentially confirm the current game situation, and an effect of concentrating the player on the game is produced.

Further, the process of determining the above-mentioned gain symbol mode is as follows.
In the case where the effect is displayed by the tilting table symbol, it is possible for the player to simply and clearly recognize the current situation of determining the type of the gain symbol type, and furthermore, it is possible to generate a variety of emotions for the player. It works.
