The player usually tends to pay attention to the variable display of the special symbol that determines the winning, but it is also well known that the special symbol expresses the hit mode, so it is well known that the number of times the special symbol varies. You may also be paying attention. On the other hand, in the present invention, by notifying the number of times of change of the special symbol from the last hit expression in the first notification lamp row, the player is clearly notified of the situation that the probability of hit is gradually increasing. be able to. Thus, the player knows the number of times the special symbol has changed,
Since the feeling that a hit may be obtained soon will be stimulated, the feeling of uplifting to the game can be enhanced, and the excellent effect that the rate of leaving the game table can be reduced can be produced.

Further, by displaying the time required for the variation of the ordinary symbol by the second indicator lamp row, the display mode of the ordinary symbol, which is difficult for the player's attention to reach, indicates when the hit or the loss is displayed. Can be notified. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from overlooking the arrival of an advantageous situation in which the normal symbol is a hit and the opening operation of the normal electric accessory occurs. Then, the player can fully utilize the advantageous situation caused by the fluctuation of the normal symbol, such as by launching the game ball in accordance with the opening operation of the normal electric accessory, the fluctuation of the normal symbol. It is possible to fully enjoy the taste of the display. In this way, the player tends to overlook during the game, by simultaneously notifying the number of times the special symbol fluctuates and the time when the normal symbol fluctuates, the player can comprehensively understand the progress of the game. Since it is possible to play the game while always being aware of the possibility that a hit may occur, there is an excellent advantage that the taste of the game is further improved.

Then, when the game ball is flown into the special winning opening 23 and the specific area switch S3 and the count switch S4 in the special winning opening 23 are turned ON, the signal is sent to the main control board 60 via the board relay board 61. It confirms and, if necessary, sends a control command to the symbol display control board 62 and the payout control board 65, and a series of special game operations are executed.

That is, the sound generator emits a fanfare, the special winning opening solenoid is driven, the opening / closing piece 24 is tilted forward to open the special winning opening 23, and the opening / closing round is executed. This opening and closing round
It continues until a predetermined time limit (30 seconds) elapses or until the winning detection of 10 game balls is made by the count switch S4 within the predetermined time limit. Further, as described above, when the game ball flows into the specific area of the special winning opening 23 and the specific area switch S3 is turned on, the transition condition to the next opening / closing round is satisfied, and the opening / closing piece 24 is once driven to close. Then, one round ends. Then, after the operation is completed, the special winning opening 23 is opened again, and the process moves to the next opening / closing round. In this way, the opening and closing rounds are repeated up to 16 times to cause the continuous opening operation of the special winning opening 23, thereby providing the player with a predetermined gain.

On the other hand, when the hit special random number K does not select the hit, the main display control board 6 sends a control command consisting of the above-mentioned lost design random numbers Ma, Mb, Mc from the main control board 60.
2, and the symbol display control board 62 displays the special symbols A, B, and C in accordance with the control command. here,
If the winning symbol random number has been selected as a winning symbol, the missing symbol random numbers Ma, Mb, Mc are selected again, and the lost symbol mode is set. Further, when the reach operation is executed by the reach random number N, the special symbol A = B is once displayed, and the reach operation by the predetermined reach variation mode selected by the reach mode random number Q is generated. rear,
It may be possible to adopt a lost design mode.

Next, the symbol control of the symbol display device 6 will be described again in detail. The hit special random number K consisting of 640 frames 0 to 639 is stored in the storage device ROM of the main control board 60 described above. Here, depending on the content of the winning symbol, a high probability state in which the probability of becoming a winning symbol is improved next time and a normal probability state in which the probability of becoming a winning symbol does not change occur. Special random number K = 7,427 at normal probability
In the case of That is, the winning probability is 2/640 =
It is 1/320. Also, at high probability, K = 7,67,
157, 187, 247, 337, 367, 427, 4
In the case of 57,547, it is a hit. That is, the winning probability is 10/640 = 1/64. And other than that, it will be lost. Further, the winning symbol random number L is stored in the storage device ROM as described above, and the winning symbol random number L is stored.
When becomes a predetermined symbol, after the special game operation, until the next hit occurs, a high probability state that the probability of becoming a hit symbol is improved, that is, a so-called probability variation state.

Further, in the storage device ROM, as described above, lost pattern random numbers Ma, Mb, Mc and reach random number N
And a reach symbol random number P are stored. In the case of losing, these missing symbol random numbers Ma, Mb, and Mc determine the symbols of the special symbols A, B, and C. Furthermore, the reach random number N selects whether or not to execute the reach operation in case of loss. Moreover, the reach symbol random number P determines the reach symbol when the reach operation is executed. Furthermore, the reach mode random number Q is used to select the type of the 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, there are various variation modes such as long reach, low speed scroll, reverse running, accelerated stop from low speed running, and inversion of symbols.

Then, when the symbol display device 6 is driven, the special symbols A, B and C start to change in accordance with a predetermined symbol sequence, and usually after about 10 seconds have passed, the special symbols A, B and C.
The pattern change stops in the order of. This special design A, B, C
Is confirmed and displayed with a predetermined symbol in accordance with each of the random number values described above.

When the symbol display device 6 starts changing, the winning special random number K is determined, and if this is the above winning value, the symbol display mode according to the winning symbol random number L, the reach random number N, and the reach symbol random number P. Is determined. In this case, the special symbols A and B are sequentially stopped according to the reach symbol random number P, and the reach state is set so that the same symbols are obtained, and after the predetermined reach symbol variation mode designated by the reach mode random number Q is executed. , The special symbol C is stopped, and the special symbols A, B, and C are fixedly displayed according to the winning symbol random number L so as to be in a predetermined winning symbol mode. And it became a "big hit"
The operation of the special winning opening 23 described above is started, and the special game operation is executed.

Here, by the hit symbol that the special symbol A, B, C is expressed by the hit symbol random number L, if the probability variation state is reached after the end of the special game operation, it is longer than the normal symbol variation time. , Short symbol fluctuation time. That is, the average variation time required from the start of variation of the special symbols A, B, C to the symbol stop (the time required from the start of the symbol variation to the stop) is usually 10 seconds, but is controlled to be shortened to 3 seconds. . At the same time, during stochastic fluctuation operation, the average fluctuation time required from the start of fluctuation of the normal symbol to the stop of the symbol is shortened from about 30 seconds in the normal state to about 10 seconds, and the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory 15 is reduced to about 0.5. Extend from 2 seconds to about 2 seconds. Thus, in the game during the probability variation operation, it is in an advantageous state in which the gain effect of the player is high.

On the other hand, when the winning special random number K is not the above winning value, the symbols of the special symbols A, B and C are displayed in a missed manner. Here, when the reach random number N is selected not to perform the reach operation, the lost pattern random numbers Ma, Mb, Mc
Then, the symbols of the special symbols A, B, and C are confirmed and displayed. On the other hand, when the reach operation is executed, the symbol pattern in which the special symbol A = B is determined by the reach symbol random number P, the reach symbol is once exposed, and the predetermined reach symbol variation mode is determined according to the reach pattern random number Q. After the execution, the special symbol C is stopped so as to be a lost symbol, and is fixedly displayed.

Next, the normal symbol operation will be described. When the game ball passes through the normal symbol actuation winning opening 13, the game ball is detected by the normal symbol starting switch S2. When the game ball is detected by this normal symbol starting switch S2, the normal symbol of the normal symbol display device 10 changes. This normal pattern is composed of three light emitting diodes LED of red, middle green and right red. When this normal symbol display device 10 is changing or the normal electric accessory 15 is open, when the game ball is detected by the normal symbol start switch S2, the game ball is detected in the storage device RAM of the main control board 60. It is stored, the light emitting diode LED of the normal symbol starting memory number display device 12 is turned on as the memory number is exhausted, and the normal symbol is turned off every time the fluctuation starts, and the memory number is displayed. Incidentally, the maximum memory number of the normal symbol starting memory number display device 12 is four, and more than that is invalid.

After the fluctuation of the ordinary symbol display device 10 is stopped,
Or, after the opening operation of the normal electric accessory 15, the normal symbol display device 10 starts to change again based on the starting memory displayed on the normal symbol starting memory number display device 12. After the normal pattern display device 10 starts to fluctuate, the fluctuation stops about 30 seconds or more, and the fluctuation stops if at least one of the left and right light emitting diodes LED is turned on, and the normal electric auditors product 15 is about 0. It is opened for 5 seconds.

On the other hand, during the probability variation operation of the special symbol display device 6 described above, the variation time of the normal symbol display device 10 is also reduced from the normal state of about 30 seconds, and the variation stops after about 10 seconds have elapsed. That is, the predetermined advantageous state is achieved. In addition to this, the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory 15 is about 0.2.
It is extended from 2 seconds to about 2 seconds.

Here, the symbol mode displayed when the normal symbol display device 10 stops changing is a random number per ordinary number consisting of 55 frames 0 to 54, which is stored in the storage device ROM of the main control board 60. Determined by U. Due to the passage of the game ball, when the normal symbol start switch S2 is activated, the main control board 60 selects a random number U of the normal hit random number from the storage device ROM and a random value of the hit normal symbol random number V, and the contents thereof are once stored in the storage device RAM. Memorize, normal pattern display device 1
At the same time that 0 starts to fluctuate, the stored contents are examined to determine the hitting loss corresponding to the selected value of the normal hitting random number U. Then, in the case of a hit, the stop mode is determined by the hit random symbol random number V, and at least one of the left red color and the right red color is in a lighting state t. In the case of a loss, only the medium green light emitting diode LED is in the turned-on state.

Next, the parallel lighting device 31 according to the main part of the present invention.
The notification mode will be described. In the present invention, the front surface cover 3 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the upper plate panel 43.
In, the first notification lamp row 32 in which a plurality of lighting fixtures 30 are continuously arranged so as to surround the game area 46 and the upper ball saucer 41,
On the outer side thereof, a second notification lamp row 33 is provided in parallel with the first notification lamp row 32. Then, the first notification lamp row 32
The parallel illumination device 31 is formed by the second alarm lamp row 33 and. The first notification light tool row 32 and the second notification light tool row 33 each form a ring shape by connecting 80 lighting tools 30. The lighting tool 30 is composed of a light emitting diode LED, a lamp, or the like. These lighting tools 30 may be exposed on the front surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1, or a transparent or semi-transparent cover may be arranged on the front surface of the lighting tool 30.

This pachinko gaming machine 1 is in a normal game or a probability varying operation, and in the first notification lamp row 32,
The number of times the special symbol changes until the special symbol displays the above-mentioned winning symbol is displayed. That is, the number of times the special symbol is lost before the hit is displayed is displayed. Further, in the second notification lamp row 33, the time required for the normal symbol to change,
That is, the variable time of the normal symbol display device 10 is displayed.

Here, the change notification operation of the special symbol by the first notification lamp row 32 will be described. The game ball passes through the special symbol starting area 14 and the special symbol starting switch S1 is turned on.
When activated, the special symbols A, B, C start changing. At this time, when the hit special random number K determines that there is a loss, the main control board 60 counts the number of special symbol variation memories and stores it in the storage device RAM, and at the same time, the light emission of the lighting tool 30 of the first notification lamp row 32. A control instruction signal for instructing the operation is transmitted to the light source control board 64. Then, when the special symbols A, B, and C are confirmed and displayed, the light source control board 64 turns on the lighting tool 30a at the uppermost position of the first annular lamp row 34. After that, when the special random number K is lost at the start of variation of the special symbols A, B, and C, the lighting fixtures 3 adjacent in the clockwise direction are provided.
0b is lit t, and the lighting fixture 30 is sequentially lit t clockwise until the hit special random number K determines a hit. Here, FIG. 5 illustrates a state in which the special symbols A, B, and C have fluctuated 15 times, and FIG. 6 illustrates a state that has fluctuated 68 times. And when the hit special random number K determines the hit, the special symbol variation memory number is cleared, and the special symbols A, B, and C express the hit symbol, and the first annular lamp row 34 is turned on. The lighting tool 30 that is turned on is turned off. In this way, by notifying the number of times of change of the special symbol by the first annular lamp row 34, the player can always recognize the number of times of change, so that the number of times of change of the special symbol increases and the winning is expressed. Since it is recognized that the probability has gradually increased, the feeling of expecting a hit increases, and there is also an effect of preventing the player from easily changing the game table.

Incidentally, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, the probability that the special symbol represents the winning symbol is 1/320, as described above, so the maximum variation of the special symbol is 320 times. Depending on the case, the hit may be displayed. for that reason,
In order to display the number of times the special symbol fluctuates in the first notification lamp row 32 composed of 80 lighting fixtures 30, the light emitting operation of the lighting fixture 30 is rotated four times, or one point for every four fluctuations. By causing the lamp 30 to emit light, 320
It is possible to display the number of times. Here, in the case where the lighting device 30 is operated to emit light four times, the brightness to be turned on is changed or the light emission color is changed for each turn so that the player can be more clearly notified of the number of times the special symbol changes. Therefore, it is desirable to clarify the number of laps.

Next, the variation time notification operation of the normal symbol by the second notification lamp row 33 will be described. When the game ball passes through the normal symbol starting area 13 and the normal starting switch S2 is turned ON, the timer TM starts the time measurement and the fluctuation of the normal symbol display device 10 is started. In synchronization with this change, in the second notification lamp row 33, the four lamps 30 are lit t successively in the clockwise direction in succession every 1.5 seconds, starting from the lamp 30c at the uppermost position. Go. And about 30
At the same time when all the lighting fixtures 30 of the second notification light fixture row 33 are turned on after a second, the normal symbol display device 10 is stopped and hits the normal symbol to determine the loss. Here, FIG. 5 exemplifies the state after 9 seconds have passed (24 pieces of lighting t) from the start of normal symbol variation, and FIG. 6 shows the state after 24 seconds have passed (64 pieces of lighting t). In this way, according to the measurement time of the timer TM, the second notification lamp row 33 displays the elapsed time from the change of the normal symbol to the stop, so that even when the player is gazing at the special symbol, You will usually know that the design will stop. As a result, since it is possible to confirm the stop symbol aspect of the ordinary symbol, it is possible to know that the ordinary symbol is a hit symbol and the ordinary electric accessory 15 opens and closes.
Since it is possible to perform the operation of launching the game ball toward that, it is possible to fully exhibit the taste of the gaming machine.

Further, as the display mode of the variation time of the normal symbol by the second alarm lamp row 33 as described above, the above-mentioned 1.5
In addition to displaying four lighting fixtures 30 at a time every second,
The lighting fixtures 30 may be lit t one by one in succession. In this case, 0.37
It suffices to display them continuously in succession every 5 seconds, which further enhances the effect of gradually advancing time.

Incidentally, the progress display of the variation time of the normal symbol by the second alarm lamp row 33 is adjusted to the shortened variation time of the above-mentioned normal symbol display device 10 when the probability variation operation is executed. That is, by sequentially turning on the eight lighting fixtures 30 every 1 second, all the lighting fixtures 30 of the second annular lamp row 35 are turned on after about 10 seconds, and the normal symbol display is performed. The second notification lamp row 33 executes the display operation in synchronization with the fluctuation of the device 10.

On the other hand, this pachinko gaming machine 1 displays the elapsed time from the opening of the special winning opening 23 to the closing thereof by the first notification lamp row 32 when the special game operation is being executed, and the second The number of winning prizes within the time limit is displayed by the notification lamp row 33. That is, the process of fulfilling the condition that the opened special winning opening 23 is closed is displayed by the first notification lamp row 32 and the second notification lamp row 33.

The notification operation of the first notification lamp row 32 and the second notification lamp row 33 will be described. Special symbols A, B,
When C stops after changing and is determined in the winning symbol mode of A = B = C, it becomes a "big hit", the special game operation described above is started, the special winning opening 23 is opened, and an opening / closing round is executed. In synchronization with the opening of the special winning opening 23, the timer T
When M starts the time measurement, the first notification lamp row 32
Then, with the lighting fixture 30a arranged at the uppermost position as a starting point, the four lighting fixtures 30 are sequentially turned on in the clockwise direction every 1.5 seconds. Then, after 30 seconds have elapsed from the opening of the special winning opening 23, all the lighting fixtures 30 of the first notification lamp fixture row 32 are turned on. Further, in the second notification lamp row 33, when one game ball is won in the open special winning opening 23 and the count switch S4 is turned ON, the lighting tool 30c arranged at the uppermost position is set as the starting point in the clockwise direction. The eight lighting devices 30 are turned on. After that, each time one game ball wins, eight lighting fixtures 30 are sequentially turned on t, and if 10 game balls win before the special winning opening 23 is closed, all of the second notification lamp row 33 are displayed. The lighting tool 30 is turned on. Here, FIG. 7 exemplifies a state in which 3 seconds have passed since the opening of the special winning opening 23 (eight lighting t) and one game ball has won (eight lighting t), and FIG.
18 seconds have passed since the opening of No. 3 started (48 lights t), and five game balls are won (40 lights t).

Here, the opened big winning opening 23 is closed as described above, either after 30 seconds have elapsed from the start of opening or when 10 game balls are won. The special winning opening 23 is closed when all the lighting tools 30 of either the one notification light tool row 32 or the second notification light tool row 33 are turned on. In this way, the first notification lamp row 32 and the second notification lamp row 33 can notify the player of the arrival of the moment when the special winning opening 23 is closed, so that the player can play as many games as possible. The feeling that the ball wants to win is stimulated, and the player is more drawn to the game. When the game ball that has flown into the special winning opening 23 enters the specific area, the special winning opening 23 is closed and one opening / closing round is completed, and the first notification lamp row 32 and the second notification lamp row are formed. All of the lighting fixtures 30 that are turned on at 33 are turned off. After that, the big prize hole 2 again
When 3 opens and closes to start the opening and closing round, the lighting fixtures 30 of the first and second notification light tool rows 32 and 33 are turned on in accordance with the lapse of time and the number of winning prizes.

As the display mode of the passage of time by the first notification lamp row 32, similar to the display mode of the variable time of the normal symbol described above, the lighting fixtures 30 are turned on one by one with the passage of time. One lighting fixture 30 every 375 seconds
May be sequentially and continuously displayed to turn on all the lighting fixtures 30 in 30 seconds.

As the lighting fixtures 30 that compose the first notification lamp row 32 and the second notification lamp row 33 as described above, it is possible to provide the lighting tools 30 having different emission colors depending on the arrangement position. For example, from the lighting device 30 at the uppermost position, 32 clockwise to green, the following 24 to blue, and the remaining 2
It is also possible to increase the effect of notifying the player of the situation in which the lighting fixtures 30 are sequentially lit t by making the four red.

In the above embodiment, the notification display by the lamp row is produced by orbiting around the lighting tool 30 at the uppermost position of the lamp row as a starting point, but it is located at the center of the lighting tool 30 surrounding the upper ball tray. It is also possible to create an effect in which the lighting tool 30 is used as a starting point and the lights are continuously and symmetrically and sequentially turned in both left and right directions.

In this way, the first notification lamp row 32 and the second notification lamp row 33 notify the specific game information in parallel according to the progress of the game, so that the player can play these two types of games. Since the information can be grasped simultaneously and instantaneously, the game situation can be comprehensively judged and the game can be advanced. Therefore, there is an excellent advantage that the various palatability of the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be fully enjoyed. .

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, but can be carried out in various forms without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, in addition to the first and second warning light tool rows of the above-described embodiment, a third warning light tool row is provided on the outside thereof, and in this third warning light tool row, the special symbol expresses reach and hits. In such a case, it may be possible to perform a light emitting operation such as blinking the lighting device. Further, the present invention can be applied not only to so-called first-class pachinko gaming machines but also to other models having a predetermined configuration such as second-class pachinko gaming machines or third-class pachinko gaming machines.
