Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the occurrence of excessive loss to a player by easily making up for the loss of the player caused by no occurrence of a big win for a long period with a big win. SOLUTION: Patterns are varied and displayed on a pattern varying display device 2 when a hit ball enters a starting prize-winning port 5. When stopped patterns become a specific pattern with a prescribed probability, a big win occurs and a variable prize-winning device 7 comes into an opened state continuously. On condition that the hit ball enters a continuous prize-winning port 9 formed in the variable prize-winning device, this continuously opened state is repeated until a prescribed final round. In a Pachinko game machine like this, in occurrence of the big win after a situation in which the big win does not occur though the patterns are varied and displayed a prescribed number of times, the number of rounds with which the variable prize-winning device can continuously be opened is varied as for the big winning operation as a benefit.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows the front of the game board 1 in this pachinko gaming machine. In the figure, 2 is a pattern variation display consisting of a color liquid crystal display provided on the game board 1, 3 and 4 are regular winning openings, 5 Is a tulip-shaped starting winning opening provided with a pair of opening / closing pieces 6. Reference numeral 7 denotes a variable winning device which is provided below the starting winning port 5 and has a large rectangular big winning port. The winning device 7 is provided with a door 8 which opens and closes forward by operating a solenoid. Continuous winning hole 9 in the door 8
Is provided. In addition, reference numeral 10 denotes four holding display lamps which are provided to store the number of hit balls when the prize winning opening 5 is won during the variable display of the pattern change display 2 and hold the start.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an input / output device related to the present invention, which is connected to a control board 15 composed of a CPU, a ROM, a RAM and an I / O. Reference numeral 21 denotes a ball hit at the starting winning opening 5. A start switch for detecting, 22 is a count switch for counting the winning balls to the variable winning device 7, 23
Is a continuation switch for detecting a winning ball to the continuous winning opening 9. Further, on the control board 15, the symbol variation display 2, the hold display lamp 10, and the variable winning device 7
A solenoid 24 and the like for opening and closing the door 8 are connected.

Next, the operation of this pachinko gaming machine will be described with reference to the flow charts of FIGS. FIG. 3 shows a jackpot determination routine. When it is detected in step 1 that a hit ball has been won in the starting winning opening 5, a random number is acquired in step 2, and in step 3, the symbol variation display 2 is 1-8.
Numbers and symbols such as ☆ ◆ ◎ or symbols such as characters are variably displayed in 3 rows so as to flow from top to bottom, and the display variation is stopped after a few seconds, and step 5
In step 2, it is determined whether or not the random number obtained in step 2 is a specific number, and if it is not a specific number, a lost display is made in step 6, and if it is a specific number, a big hit is displayed in step 7 and step 8 is performed. It shifts and works as a jackpot. Therefore, by predetermining the specific number, a big hit can be generated with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/300).

On the other hand, FIG. 4 is a routine for presetting the maximum number of rounds S at which the variable winning device 7 can be continuously opened by the above jackpot operation to a predetermined number. Every time it is variably displayed, the process moves from step A to step B, and the number of variations H is added. The number of changes H is initialized in step 9 of FIG. 3 each time the jackpot operation is completed. When it is determined in step C that the number of fluctuations H is 600 or less, “15” is stored as the maximum number of rounds S, and the number of fluctuations H is 6
If it is 01 to 899 times, "17" is stored as the maximum round number S in steps E and F, and the number of fluctuations H is 900.
If it is ~ 1199 times, "18" is stored as the maximum round number S in steps G and H, and the number of fluctuations H is 1
If the number of rounds is 200 or more, the maximum number of rounds S in step I
“19” is stored as

In the jackpot operation routine shown in FIG. 5, after the round number R is initialized in step a,
At step b, the solenoid 24 is operated to open the variable winning device 7, and at step c, the count number C of the winning balls won in the variable winning device 7 is initialized, and at step d, the continuous winning opening 9 Initialize the memory of whether or not there is a prize. Then, each time a winning ball hit by the variable winning device 7 is detected within 30 seconds by the circle of steps e and f, the winning ball is added to the count number C in step g, and steps h and i are added. If there is a ball hitting the continuous winning opening 9, it is stored, and at step j, when the count number C reaches 10, the process proceeds to step k to close the variable winning device 7.

Then, in step l, it is determined whether or not there is a hit at the continuous winning opening 9, and if the continuous winning opening 9 is won, the number of rounds R reaches the maximum number of rounds S in step m. It is determined whether or not it has been reached, and if it has not reached, after adding the number of rounds R in step n, the process returns to step b and the variable winning device 7 is opened again. Further, when the continuous winning opening 9 has not been won, and when the number of rounds R has reached the maximum number of rounds S, the process moves to step o and the jackpot end display is displayed on the symbol variation display 2 to end the jackpot operation. .

In this way, in this jackpot operation, when the number H of fluctuations of the symbol until the occurrence of this jackpot is 600 times or less, the maximum number of rounds S is the usual 15 times, but this number of fluctuations H When the number of rounds is 601 to 899, the maximum number of rounds S is 17, and when the number of fluctuations H is 900 to 1199, the number of maximum rounds S is 18 and the number of fluctuations H is 1200 or more. When the maximum number of rounds S is 19, the number of rounds to be increased as a privilege increases according to the number of times the symbols are variably displayed without a big hit. As the number of rounds increases in this way, the number of prize balls obtained by the jackpot operation also increases, so that it is possible to compensate for the loss of the player caused by the absence of the jackpot for a long time.

The maximum round number S is displayed on a part or all of the symbol variation display 2, and is also provided on the corner lens display portion, ball rental switch display portion, between gaming machine bases or on the upper portion of the gaming machine. It is preferable that the information is displayed on various information display parts and the like to notify the player in advance. Further, it is possible to display the number of fluctuations H so that the player can understand it. By the way, the probability of a big hit is 1/30
With a model set to 0, the jackpot should occur once every 300 times on average, but the number of fluctuations H exceeds twice the average number (commonly called "double humming"). )
Even if a big hit does not occur, by providing the above-mentioned privilege, it is possible to provide a service that is easy for the player to understand. It is also possible to display to the player such service contents, the fact that the user has doubled the time, the privilege at that time, and the privilege at the time of the triple time.

The number of rounds to be given as a privilege is not limited to the example shown in this embodiment, and the setting can be further subdivided according to the number of times of variable display.
Further, the privilege content is not limited to the one that always increases the number of rounds, but may be the one that exceptionally reduces the number of rounds.

Further, the present invention can be applied to a so-called probability variation type pachinko gaming machine (also referred to as probability variation) in which the jackpot occurrence probability is set to be higher than in the normal time after the jackpot operation is completed.

In addition, the privilege changes the number of rounds in which the variable winning device can be continuously opened as described above,
The jackpot occurrence probability after the jackpot operation may be set to be higher than in the normal case.

In addition, the privilege changes the number of rounds in which the variable winning device can be continuously opened as described above, and
The number of prize balls paid out by one prize ball to the variable winning device during the big hit operation may be changed. Further, as described in claim 6, when the number of rounds is increased, 1 in the increased round
For example, the number of prize balls to be paid out for each prize ball may be changed from 15 to 12. Further, the number of prize balls may be changed, and at the same time, the jackpot occurrence probability may be set to be high. Furthermore, these benefits can also be combined appropriately. To do so,
This can be carried out by setting the contents of steps D, F, H, and I in the flowchart of No. 1 according to the privilege contents.

It is also possible to give a predetermined privilege according to the display symbol only when the predetermined privilege-giving symbol is displayed. In order to do so, it is determined whether the random number obtained in step 2 of FIG. 3 is a privilege grant between step B and step C in the flowchart of FIG. 4, and if it is a privilege grant. It can be implemented by shifting to step C only.
