The second variation pattern storage means 127 stores the second
This is for storing a symbol variation pattern (hereinafter, referred to as a second symbol variation pattern), and a plurality of second symbol variation patterns are stored in advance. As shown in FIG. 11, the second symbol variation pattern includes a reachless variation pattern A, a normal reach variation pattern B, a first super reach variation pattern C, a second super reach variation pattern D, and a full rotation variation pattern E. For example, the reliability of the non-reach variation pattern A is 0%, the reliability of the normal reach variation pattern B is 3%, and the reliability of the first super reach variation pattern C is 1
5%, the reliability of the second super reach variation pattern D is 3
3%, the reliability of the total rotation fluctuation pattern E is 100% or the like.

In the case of the reach variation patterns B to D, the two second symbols are stopped in one of the specific mode and the non-specific mode through the reach in which the same symbols are displayed during the fluctuation. . In general, the variation pattern with lower reliability has a higher probability of selecting the variation pattern.

The second variation pattern selecting means 128
Based on the detection of the game ball by the symbol starting means 14, one of the various second symbol variation patterns A to E stored in the second variation pattern storage means 127 is determined by the second determination means 126.

When any of the plurality of types of reach variation patterns B to D and the total rotation variation pattern E is determined in the non-specific mode, the second symbol after the variation may be in the non-specific mode depending on the presence or absence of the reach variation. Reach variation patterns B to D,
Any one of the reachless variation patterns A is selected by random number lottery or the like.

Normally, a variation pattern having a low reliability in a specific mode has a higher possibility that the second variation pattern selecting means 128 will select the variation pattern.
The selectivity is set to a large value according to the reliability of each of the second symbol variation patterns A to E.

The second profit state generating means 132 is for generating a second profit state which is advantageous to the player after the first profit state has ended (or has occurred).
35. The probability changing unit 135 determines that the second determining unit 126 determines that the specific mode
On condition that the symbol is a special symbol in a specific mode, the probability that the second symbol is in the specific mode after the end of the first profit state is changed from a normal probability state (for example, a low probability of 1/360) to a high probability state (for example, To about 1/50). Note that the probability changing means 135 is the second determining means 1 when in the high probability state.

8 based on the selection result and the like of the light emission pattern storage means 15
3 out of a plurality of types of light emission patterns stored in
Or, a plurality is selected.

The out-of-drum light emission control means 152 controls the light emission pattern selection means 15 according to the driving state of the rotary drum 34.
The light emission control of the light emitting means 38 outside the drum is performed according to the light emission pattern selected in Step 4.

The in-drum light emission control means 155 is provided in accordance with the driving state of the rotating drum 34.
For example, during rotation driving of the rotary drum 34, the light emitting means 37 in the drum is turned on to illuminate the third pattern on the surface of the rotary drum 34 from the inside.

Next, the operation of the pachinko machine will be described. When a game ball is fired by the firing means 9 during a game, the game ball enters the game area 12 via the guide rail 11, and then falls into the game area 12 to win the normal prize means 17 or the like. 1 symbol starting means 1
It falls downward while passing through 6. When the game ball passes through the first symbol starting means 16, the first random number lottery means 121 randomly selects a generated random number value, and the first determination means 122 determines from the random number value whether or not it is in a predetermined mode.

When the result of the determination by the first determination means 122 is a predetermined mode determination, the first symbol display means 21
After the symbol fluctuates for a predetermined time, it stops in a predetermined mode, and under the control of the opening / closing control means 123, the opening / closing claw 26 of the second symbol starting means 14 opens for a predetermined time (for example, 0.3 seconds). 14 makes it easier for game balls to win. If the determination result of the first determination unit 122 is other than the determination of the predetermined mode, the changed first symbol stops in the non-predetermined mode.

When the opening / closing claw 26 of the second symbol starting means 14 is opened and a game ball wins, and when the second symbol starting means 14 detects a game ball, the second random number lottery means 125 selects the generated random number value. , The second determining means 126 determines whether or not the specific mode is selected from the lottery random number value, and in accordance with the determination result, the second changing pattern selecting means 128 sets the second symbol changing patterns AE.
And the like, and a specific mode selecting means 1
29 or the non-specific mode selecting means 130 selects the type of stop symbol after the change of the second symbol.

Further, when the specific mode symbol selected by the specific mode selecting means 129 is a special symbol, the second profit state generating means 132 outputs a second profit state generating signal. After the occurrence of the second profit state, the third determining means 142
Is determined to be non-occurrence of the second profit state, or if the second symbol has fluctuated a predetermined number of times before then, the second profit state ending means 133 ends the second profit state. Output a signal.

When the result of the judgment by the second judgment means 126 is obtained, the second control command transmission means 134 sends the fluctuation pattern command of the second symbol, the stop symbol command, the stop command, the second profit state generation command, the second profit. A state end command or the like is transmitted to the symbol control board 112 and the light emission control board 151 by one-way communication.

The second symbol control means 116 analyzes each command from the second control command transmitting means 134 and, based on the command, displays the second symbol of the second symbol display means 22 in a predetermined second symbol variation pattern A. The control is performed such that the second symbol is stopped in a specific mode when the determination result of the second determination unit 126 is a specific mode determination, and in a non-specific mode otherwise.

In parallel with this, the third variation pattern selection means 119 analyzes each command from the second control command transmission means 134 and determines the result of the second determination means 126 and the second variation pattern selection means 128 , One of a plurality of types of third symbol variation patterns stored in the third variation pattern storage means 118 is selected. At this time, the selection probabilities of the third symbol variation patterns are different from each other, and when the determination result of the second determination unit 126 is the specific mode determination (big hit determination), the high-speed variation pattern is higher than the other variation patterns. Selected by probability.

The drive control means 117 changes the third symbol simultaneously with the start of the change of the second symbol, for example, in accordance with the third symbol change pattern selected by the third change pattern selecting means 119, and sets the second profit state. The third symbol is stopped at a predetermined symbol based on the occurrence / termination, the determination result of the second determination unit 126, and the like. In the third pattern on the surface of the rotating drum 34, one frame on the front side corresponds to the clear transparent portion 9 of the drum cover 65.
5 allows clear visual recognition from the front side. Further, the symbols on both sides can be seen through the unclearly see-through portion 96 of the drum cover 65 from the front side unclearly.

On the light emission control board 151 side, the light emission pattern selection means 154 is connected to the second control command transmission means 1.
Each of the commands from the light emission pattern storage unit 153 is analyzed based on the determination result of the second determination unit 126, the selection result of the second variation pattern selection unit 128, and the like. Select one or more. For example, the normal reach variation pattern B is selected by the second variation pattern selection unit 128, and the second determination unit 12
When the determination result of No. 6 is the specific mode determination, in addition to the lighting pattern corresponding to the start of the change of the second symbol, two flashing patterns of the flashing light a corresponding to the normal reach and the flashing light c corresponding to the big hit are displayed. Selected.

Then, the out-of-drum light emission control means 152
In conjunction with the drive control of the drive motor 35 by the drive control means 117, the light emission control of the light emitting means 38 outside the drum is performed. Further, the light emission control means 155 in the drum turns on the light emission means 37 in the drum while the third symbol fluctuates.

FIG. 13 shows that the determination result of the second determination means 126 is a non-specific mode determination, and the second variation pattern selection means 1
28 shows an example of the fluctuation history of the third symbol and the light emission history of the light emitting means 38 outside the drum when the normal reach fluctuation pattern B is selected at 28 and the low speed fluctuation pattern is selected at the third fluctuation pattern selecting means 119. Are shown in correspondence with the fluctuations of.

In this example, the third symbol is changed at a low speed at the same time as the start of the change of the second symbol. At this point, the second symbol is stopped in a non-specific manner, and when the loss is determined, the second symbol is temporarily stopped at the symbol "losing".

Further, the light emitting means 38 outside the drum is turned on at the same time as the start of the fluctuation of the third symbol, and the third symbol is "reach!"
Is switched to the flashing light emission a corresponding to this when stopped at the time of the stop, and is turned off when the third symbol is stopped at the "losing".

FIG. 14 shows that the determination result of the second determination means 126 is a specific mode determination, and the second variation pattern selection means 12
8, when the first super-reach variation pattern C is selected, the high-speed variation pattern is selected by the third variation pattern selection means 119, and the second symbol is in a special mode in a special symbol to generate the second profit state 3 shows an example of the change history of the third symbol and the light emission history of the light emitting means 38 outside the drum in association with the change of the second symbol.

In this example, the third symbol is changed at a high speed simultaneously with the start of the change of the second symbol. Is in the reach state, "super reach!", The second symbol is stopped in a specific manner in the special symbol, and when the jackpot is determined, "big hit !!" is followed by "probable change!" It is stopped once with the symbol. At this time, since the fluctuation pattern of the third symbol is a high-speed fluctuation with a high probability of occurrence of the jackpot, it is possible to increase the player's expectation of the jackpot and increase the interest.

Further, the light emitting means 38 outside the drum is turned on simultaneously with the start of the fluctuation of the third symbol, and when the third symbol stops at "super reach!"
At the time when the third symbol stops at "big hit !!", it switches to the corresponding blinking light emission c, and when it stops at "probable change!", It switches to the corresponding blinking light emission d.

FIG. 15 shows that the determination result of the second determination means 126 is a non-specific mode determination, and the second variation pattern selection means 1
At 28, the second super reach variation pattern D is selected, the frame variation pattern is selected by the third variation pattern selection means 119, and the variation history of the third symbol and the light emission outside the drum when the second profit state is terminated. An example of the light emission history of the means 38 is shown in association with the fluctuation of the second symbol.

In this example, the third symbol is changed at a high speed at the same time as the start of the change of the second symbol. At this point, the second symbol is stopped in a non-specific manner, and when it is determined that the second symbol has come off, the second symbol is once stopped with the symbol "losing", followed by the symbol "probable change end".

Further, the light emitting means 38 outside the drum is turned on simultaneously with the start of the change of the third symbol, and when the third symbol stops at "Super Reach!"
When the third symbol stops at "out", the light is once turned off, and when the third symbol stops at "probable change end", the corresponding blinking light emission e is switched.

When the second symbol after the change becomes the specific mode, the first profit state generating means 131 operates to generate the first profit state, and the open / close plate 27 of the special winning means 15 is opened forward. The special prize winning means 15 is provided with a predetermined time, for example, 30 seconds, or a predetermined number (for example, 1
When (0) game balls are won, the opening / closing plate 27 is closed at that time. Then, when the winning game ball passes through the specific area 28, the opening / closing plate 27 is opened again, and the opening / closing operation is repeated up to a predetermined number of times (for example, 16 times).

Therefore, if the first profit state occurs, there is a possibility that a large number of game balls will be won in the special winning means 15,
The player can receive prize balls according to the number of winning balls, and can enjoy great profit.

When the second symbol after the change is a special symbol in a special mode as in the example of FIG. 14, the probability change of the second profit status generating means 132 after the end of the first profit status. The means 135 operates to change the occurrence probability of the specific mode from the normal probability to the high probability. After that, the second determination means 1
Since it is determined whether or not 26 is in the specific mode in the high probability state, the possibility that the second symbol after the change becomes the specific mode again becomes very high, and the player can play the game in an advantageous state.

After the occurrence of the second profit state, the first profit state occurs in the next specific mode in a game symbol other than the special symbol, or the second symbol fluctuates by a predetermined number of times by then. In this case, the probability return means 136 of the second profit state end means 133 operates to return the occurrence probability of the specific mode from the high probability to the normal probability (low probability).

As described above, the pachinko machine of the present embodiment is provided near the second symbol display means 22 and drives the rotary drum 34 on which a plurality of types of symbols are drawn, and the rotary drum 34. Since the drive motor 35 is provided, the game can be changed as compared with the case where only the conventional liquid crystal type second symbol display means 22 is provided, and the interest in the game can be increased. In addition, since the rotating drum 34 has a front surface protruding forward from the second symbol display means 22, the effect by the rotating drum 34 can be more strongly impressed by the player, and the rotating drum 34 can be impressed.
There is an advantage that the production performance is improved.

FIG. 16 to FIG. 18 illustrate a second embodiment of the present invention.

It is included. The third super-reach fluctuation pattern D 'is set to stop in a non-specific manner by the same fluctuation pattern as the second super-reach fluctuation pattern D, and then change again.
The reliability is set to, for example, 50%, which is higher than the second super reach variation pattern D. The control system has the same configuration as the control system of the first embodiment shown in FIG.

FIG. 17 shows that the determination result of the second determination means 126 is a specific mode determination, and the second variation pattern selection means 12
8 shows an example of the change history of the third symbol and the light emission history of the light emitting means 38 outside the drum when the third super reach change pattern D 'is selected and the high speed change pattern is selected by the third change pattern selecting means 119. , Corresponding to the variation of the second symbol.

In this example, the drive control means 117
The third symbol is changed at a high speed at the same time as the symbol change starts.
When the design reaches the reach state, "Super reach!
! At the time when the second symbol is stopped in a non-specific manner, the third symbol is temporarily stopped at "out",
It fluctuates again and stops at "re-fluctuation". And
After the fluctuation of the second symbol is resumed, the second symbol is stopped at, for example, “reach!” When the second symbol is again in the reach state, and at “big hit !!” when the second symbol is stopped again in a specific mode. I have.

Further, the light emission control means 152 outside the drum turns on the light emission means 38 outside the drum at the same time as the start of the change of the third symbol, and when the third symbol stops at "Super Reach !!" Switch to light emission b, turn off the light once when the third symbol is stopped at "losing", turn it on again when the third symbol is started, and when the third symbol is stopped at "reach!" To the flashing light emission a corresponding to
When the third symbol stops at "big hit !!", it is switched to the corresponding blinking light emission c.

As described above, even if the second symbol is stopped in a non-specific manner, if the third symbol is stopped at a predetermined symbol, the second symbol is changed again. However, even if the player once stops at a missing symbol, the game can be watched with a sense of expectation of re-change, and the game characteristics are improved.

FIGS. 19 and 20 illustrate a third embodiment of the present invention. After the second symbol has reached the reach state, the third symbol and the light emission outside the drum are interlocked with the stop operation of the last variable symbol. An example is shown in which the countdown display is performed by the means 38 and the stop symbol of the second symbol is notified in advance.

The second symbol variation pattern stored in the second variation pattern storage means 127, the third symbol variation pattern stored in the third variation pattern storage means 118, and the light emission pattern stored in the light emission pattern storage means 153 are as follows. The present invention is not limited to those shown in the embodiments, and other various fluctuation patterns and light emission patterns can be used. For example, as the third symbol variation pattern stored in the third variation pattern storage unit 118, a variation pattern in which stop / drive is repeated in a stepwise manner may be provided.

The fluctuation of the third symbol and the light emission of the light emitting means 38 outside the drum need not necessarily be performed simultaneously with the start of the fluctuation of the second symbol. Further, the fluctuation of the third symbol and the light emitting means 38 outside the drum are required.
May be performed irrespective of the fluctuation of the second symbol. For example, when the game is not played or when the second symbol does not fluctuate during the game, the third symbol is intermittently rotated, for example, to display a character symbol, an advertisement symbol, and the like. The light emitting means 38 outside the drum may emit light. Further, when the second symbol fluctuates in a predetermined pattern, for example, the third symbol may be fluctuated only at the time of reach fluctuation.

The third symbol may be provided with, for example, a character symbol, an advertisement symbol, and the like, in addition to those exemplified in the embodiment. For example, a character design corresponding to the character reach may be provided in the third design and displayed in correspondence with the character reach of the second design.

The drive motor 35 is not necessarily a rotating drum 34
It does not need to be provided inside, and may be provided outside the rotating drum 34. Further, the rotating drum 34 does not need to rotate about the vertical axis, and may rotate, for example, about the horizontal axis, or may rotate about two or more axes. . The direction of rotation is also arbitrary. The rotating drum 34 may be formed in a shape other than a cylindrical shape, for example, a polygonal cylinder such as a triangle, a hexagon, and an octagon.

The light emitting means 37 inside the drum and the light emitting means 38 outside the drum are not limited to the LED substrate, but may be, for example, a lamp substrate. The arrangement and the number of the LEDs and the like are also arbitrary.

Further, in the embodiment, the pachinko machine has been described as an example, but it goes without saying that the present invention can be similarly applied to other ball game machines such as an arrangement ball machine and a sparrow ball game machine.
