Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ball game machine having a control means such as a microcomputer and a game program capable of simulating the operation of the ball game machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, in a pachinko machine, which is a kind of ball game machine, a display device for displaying a symbol (referred to as "special symbol") when a predetermined condition is satisfied is provided, and the variable display is in a predetermined mode. When the game is stopped at, a so-called "big hit" is in widespread use, which gives the player a special advantage of obtaining a large number of prize balls. In recent years, an electric display device such as a liquid crystal display device capable of various effects has been widely used as a display device for playing another game different from the normal ball game. Such a display device is called a "special symbol display device". Here, the special symbol is composed of a plurality of types of symbols, and the variable display of the special symbol is expressed by the symbols visible in front of the screen being switched one after another. That is, the variable display of special symbols,
It is expressed like a symbol variation at the time of reel rotation in the slot machine.

As a predetermined condition for starting the symbol fluctuation of the special symbol display device, for example, a condition that a game ball wins in a starting winning opening provided in a game area (referred to as "starting winning") is given. . This starting prize hole is generally
It is composed of a variable type winning device having a pair of movable wing pieces capable of converting the winning opening into an open state where it is easy to win and a closed state where it is hard to win. As a condition for such a starting winning opening to be in an advantageous open state for the player, when the variable display of symbols (referred to as "normal symbols") on a display device different from the above display device is stopped in a specific mode. I am trying. This display device is called a "normal symbol display device". In addition, in such a pachinko machine, when the start winning is made while the symbol of the special symbol display device is being changed, the number of times of winning is stored, and after the variation display is finished, the number of times is stored. It is configured to perform a floating display. Here, the number of memory of the start winning is referred to as the “number of memory for starting”.

Further, in such a pachinko machine, when the variable display of the special symbol is stopped in a specific mode, a specific game state that is very advantageous to the player (hereinafter referred to as "specific game state")
Say. There is something to move to). Generally, "time-saving machines" and "probability machines" are available as game machines that can generate specific game states.
It has been known.

In the "time saving machine", as a specific game state,
(1) The normal symbol display device is stopped in a specific mode, and the probability that the start winning opening is in an open state (referred to as "ordinary symbol winning probability") is a relatively high gaming state, (2) Normal symbol is stopped from the start of operation. A gaming state in which the variation time until is relatively short,
And (3) one of the gaming states in which the opening time of the starting winning opening is relatively long and the opening frequency of the starting winning opening is relatively large, or a combination of these gaming states can occur. ing. These specific game states are called "time saving state", and after the special game state generated by the "big hit" ends, until the number of times the variable display of special symbols operated by the start winning reaches a specific value (for example, 200 times). The state is continued.

Further, the "probability change machine" is configured so that a specific game state (referred to as "high probability state") having a relatively high probability of "big hit" can occur as the specific game state. In the high probability state as this specific game state,
The probability of "big hit" is 1/335 in the normal game state (called "normal state"), which is five times that of 5/335.
Fluctuates. Further, in the probability variation machine, there is also a gaming machine having the functions of both the time reduction machine and the probability variation machine, in which the above-mentioned time saving state can occur.

[0007] In such "time-saving machine" and "probability machine",
During the specific game state as described above, since many starting winnings can occur, the starting memory number is likely to be accumulated. Therefore, in such "time saving machine" and "probability variation machine", by shortening the time from the start of the variable display of the special symbol until it stops, the start memory number can be exhausted early and the big hit A pachinko machine that is designed to be generated early is known. Specifically, there is a system in which the time for variable display is shortened as the number of starting memories increases, and the number of starting memories is exhausted as soon as possible so that a big hit is generated quickly. For example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 6-54951 discloses a method in which it is determined that the number of memories is a predetermined number and the variation time of each symbol display unit is changed to a short time.

[0008]

However, in the case of shortening the variable display time of the special symbol in accordance with the increase in the number of stored memories, the effect display performed in accordance with the variable display is repeated for a short time. So, the monotonous and uninteresting production will continue. For this reason, the player is likely to get tired of it, and the production is hardly paid attention.

It is an object of the present invention to shorten the time until the occurrence of a big hit and to keep the player interested in the production until the occurrence of a big hit, and of such a ball game machine. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a game program in which the operation can be simulated.

[0010]

The ball-playing machine of the present invention,
Display means for displaying a special game indicating whether or not to shift to a special game state advantageous to the player according to the display content, and detection for cumulatively storing as a memory number each time a predetermined signal input is detected The number-of-times storage means and the special game are continuously displayed for a predetermined number of times according to the number of storages, and the display means is display-controlled so that one special game is displayed in the plurality of continuously displayed special games. And a special game display control means for controlling.

In a specific mode, one story is represented by all of the plurality of special games displayed continuously. The predetermined number of times is determined by random number lottery, for example. Further, the detection count storage means subtracts the predetermined count from the storage count.

The ball game machine of another aspect of the present invention is a variable display of special symbols indicating whether or not to shift to a special game state advantageous to the player according to the stop mode, and the production of contents related to the game. Display means for displaying, detection frequency storage means for cumulatively storing as a memory number each time a predetermined signal input is detected, and variable display control means for continuously performing variable display a predetermined number of times according to the memory number. And an effect display control unit that causes the display unit to perform one effect display while the variable display is performed a predetermined number of times. In a specific aspect, one effect display is composed of one story.

According to the game program of the present invention, a step of accumulatively storing as a memory number each time a predetermined signal input is detected, and a special game state advantageous for the player according to the contents displayed on the display means are set. A special game indicating whether or not to shift is continuously displayed on a predetermined display means a predetermined number of times according to the number of memories, and one special game is displayed as a whole of the plurality of continuously displayed special games. As described above, a game program for causing a computer to realize the step of controlling the display means.

A game program according to another aspect of the present invention is
A step of cumulatively storing as a memory number each time a predetermined signal input is detected, and a variable display of a special symbol indicating whether or not to shift to a special game state advantageous to a player according to a stop mode, are stored. A computer for realizing a step of causing a predetermined display unit to continuously perform a predetermined number of times according to the number and a step of causing the display unit to perform one effect display while the variable display is performed a predetermined number of times. It is a game program.

[0015]

According to the ball game machine of the present invention, a predetermined number of signal inputs (for example, a detection signal input from a start winning ball sensor 5S described later) is detected a predetermined number of times according to the number of stored memory. Since the special games are continuous, if the predetermined number of times is increased according to the number of memories, the number of stored memories is quickly consumed. As a result, for example, the time until a big hit occurs and a special game state is entered is shortened. Also,
It controls as if one special game was displayed among all the special games that are displayed continuously, so when the number of memories is exhausted, the player repeats the special game with the same content many times. There is no need to see. As a result, the player becomes interested and pays attention to each display content displayed on the display means.

Particularly, in the case where one story is represented by all of a plurality of special games which are continuously displayed, the player pays attention to the development of the story, so that the game is performed by the display means over the plurality of games. Continue to pay attention to the display. For example, if one story is completed by displaying multiple short-time special games by connecting them, each special game will have a new content of seeing one story even if it is monotonous with a short content. The target of interest is added, and the player comes to pay attention to the special game with interest.

Further, the larger the predetermined number of times the special game is continued, the higher the possibility of a big hit occurs.
When the predetermined number of times is decided by random number lottery, it is possible to increase the player's expectation whether or not the predetermined number of times increases each time the special game is played. Especially when the number of memories is large, this expectation is further enhanced.

According to the ball game machine of another aspect of the present invention, the variable display is continuously performed a predetermined number of times according to the number of memories, and one effect is produced while the predetermined number of variable displays are being performed. Since the display is performed, the time until a big hit occurs and it shifts to the special game state is shortened, and during continuous variable display, the player does not have to repeatedly watch the same effect display repeatedly. become. For example, in the case where one effect display is composed of one story, even if each effect displayed along with the variable display once is monotonous in a short time, It becomes interesting that one story is completed by connecting
The interest in playing games will increase.

An addition process (specifically, 1 addition) of the starting memory number stored in the predetermined area of the AM 30c is performed. Therefore, the main control circuit 30 functions as a detection number storage unit that cumulatively stores the detection signal due to the start winning as the start storage number. Specifically, when the main MPU 30a detects the detection signal, "1" is added to the number of starting memories stored in the main RAM 30c, and it is determined whether to shift to the special game state (big hit determination). Extract the random numbers to be used (random numbers for jackpot determination).

Further, the main MPU 30a functions as a judgment means for carrying out the big hit judgment at the same time as extracting this big hit judgment random number, and the judgment result here is associated with a start memory number and is stored in a predetermined area of the main RAM 30c. 4 is stored in the “big hit determination result storage area”).

The main MPU 30a is shown in FIG.
The "special game control process" shown in 6 is periodically executed to read the determination result stored in the jackpot determination result storage area, and display it on the liquid crystal display device 4 in accordance with the determination result and the number of starting memories at that time. It also functions as a display content determination unit that determines the display content of the effect display. The display content determined here is transmitted to the display control circuit 31 as an effect command, and according to the effect command in a “display control circuit main process” shown in FIG.

The prize ball control circuit 33 controls a launching device 42 for hitting a game ball onto the game board 3 and a prize ball device 43 for paying out a prize ball based on a command transmitted from the main control circuit 30.

FIG. 4 shows the result of the big hit judgment based on the big hit judgment random number, which is performed when the main MPU 30a detects the detection signal from the start prize ball sensor 5S (at the time of the start winning) (hereinafter referred to as "big hit judgment result"). ) Is stored in the main RAM 30c, which is formed in a predetermined area of the main RAM 30c. In this "big hit determination result storage area", the big hit determination result is
At the time of the start winning, the data (big hit determination result) is stored in the highest starting memory address where it is not stored. In the example of FIG. 4, the big hit determination result is stored in the starting storage addresses “1” to “9”, and the data is not stored in the starting storage address “10” and thereafter. Therefore, in the example of FIG. 4, the jackpot determination result made at the time of winning the start prize is stored in “10” which is the highest start storage address in which no data is stored.

FIG. 5 shows an example of the "big hit determination table" stored in the main ROM 30b. This is referred to in the jackpot determination performed by extracting the jackpot determination random number at the time of starting winning. The big hit determination random number is "0
Is extracted from the range of up to 334 ", and as shown in FIG. 5, when the random number is" 7 ", it is determined as" big hit ",
When the random number is “0 to 6” or “8 to 334”, it is determined as “out”.

FIG. 6 shows an example of the "digestion number determination table group" stored in the main ROM 30b. This "digestion number determination table group" is composed of a plurality of digestion number determination tables each having a table number, and in the process of ST33 of the "special game control process" described later, depending on the number of starting memories at that time. The digestion number determination table of the table number is referred to. Then, it is used to determine the digestion number by random number lottery performed in ST34.

As shown in FIG. 6, in each digestion number determination table, the digestion number that can be selected according to the number of starting memories is determined, and here, the number of starting memories defined in each table is set as the upper limit. The digestion number of 1 or more is set to be selectable. For example, in the digestion number determination table of the table number "3" that is referred to when the number of starting memories is "3", any of the digestion numbers "1 to 3" is set to be selectable. Therefore, the larger the number of starting memories, the larger the number of digestions may be.

FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 show an example of the effect table that is referred to when selecting the display contents performed on the liquid crystal display device 4. In the present embodiment, symbol variations are continuously performed by the number of digested numbers determined. For example, when the digestion number is determined to be 4, the variation start and stop of the special symbol is repeated four times in succession. On the other hand, in the effect displayed on the screen 4a of the liquid crystal display device 4, the story is not completed for each symbol variation that is continuously performed, but the story is set when the first (first) symbol variation starts. It is structured so that the story is completed when the symbol fluctuation starts at the beginning and ends. In other words, the story of the effect displayed on the screen 4a is composed of one story through the successive pattern changes.

FIG. 7 shows a "big hit production table" in which an effect that the story of the production displayed on the screen 4a is completed with the content of "big hit" is set. Referenced when "big hit" is included. On the other hand, FIG. 8 shows a "detachment effect table" in which an effect that the story of the effect displayed on the screen 4a is completed with the content indicating "detachment" is set, and the "big hit determination" for the determined digestion number is "big hit". Is referred to when "is not included" and only "is missing".

As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the number of times the symbol variation continues is set to the same number as the digestion number, and the variation time of the symbol variation at each time is determined according to the digestion number. Here, the variation time of the symbol variation each time is the time from the start of variation display of the special symbol to the stop.

FIG. 9 shows the relationship between the variation time of the symbol variation and the display time of the effect. Here, the digestion number is 1, 2, 4,
The case of 5, 6 and 10 will be exemplified.

When the digestion number is "1", the fluctuation time is 10
A symbol variation for one second is performed only once, and an effect in which one story is expressed in 10 seconds (referred to as "one story effect for 10 seconds") is displayed. Then, when the result of the jackpot judgment for the number of digestions includes "big hit", the production that completes the story showing "big hit" is displayed, and the result of the jackpot judgment for the number of digests "big hit" When is not included, an effect that the story is completed with the content indicating "missing" is displayed. Here, whether or not “big hit” is included in the result of the big hit judgment for the number of digests is, for example, when the number of digests is “1”, the highest address in the big hit judgment result storage area shown in FIG. Only the determination result of a certain starting storage address “1” is referred to, and whether or not “big hit” is included here.

When the digestion number is "2", the symbol fluctuation with a fluctuation time of 5 seconds is performed twice in succession, and one story is made in 10 seconds, which is the total of the fluctuation times of these two symbol fluctuations. The displayed "1 story production for 10 seconds" is displayed. Then, the two big hit determination results (the big hit determination results stored in the starting storage addresses “1 to 2” of the big hit determination result storage area) corresponding to the number of digests are referred to, and the “big hit”
When "is included", "1 story production for 10 seconds" is displayed, which is completed with the content indicating "big hit", and when "big hit" is not included, the content is shown as "off". "1 story presentation for 10 seconds" is displayed.

When the digestion number is "4", the symbol fluctuation with a fluctuation time of 4 seconds is performed four times in a row, and one story is 16 seconds in which the fluctuation times of the four symbol fluctuations are summed up.

Every time).

In this "interrupt processing", the main MPU3
0a first saves each register in the main RAM 30c (ST5). Next, the main MPU 30a updates the big hit determination random number and the normal symbol determination random number (S).
T6). In the process of ST6, the big hit determination random number and the normal symbol determination random number stored in the predetermined area of the main RAM 30c are updated to a value obtained by adding "1" thereto. Further, when the stored big hit determination random number or normal symbol determination random number reaches the upper limit value within a predetermined numerical range, it is reset to "0". As described above, the random number for normal symbol determination is used to determine whether or not the variable display LEDs 11a and 11b are in a state in which the variable display LED 11a on the left side, which is advantageous for the player, is lit, and the random number for jackpot determination is displayed. It is used for a big hit determination whether the result of the special game displayed on the screen 4a is “big hit” or “out”.

The payout request to be performed is stored in a predetermined area of the main RAM 30c. This payout request is sent to the prize ball control circuit 33 by the payout process in ST13 (FIG. 13), and prize balls are paid out in accordance with the payout request.

Next, the main MPU 30a performs "general winning ball sensor check processing" (ST22). In this process, it is checked whether or not a detection signal from the general winning ball sensor 18S is input.
A "payout request" for requesting a predetermined number (for example, five) of prize balls to be paid out in accordance with the winning of a or 18b is stored in a predetermined area of the main RAM 30c. Regarding this payout request, the above S
The payout process of T13 (FIG. 13) is sent to the prize ball control circuit 33, and the prize balls are paid out in accordance with the payout request.

Next, "start prize ball sensor check processing"
Is performed (ST23). This start prize ball sensor check processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

Next, "passing ball sensor check processing" is performed (ST24). In this process, it is determined whether or not the game ball has passed through the passing ball gate 7, that is, the presence or absence of the detection signal input from the passing ball sensor 7S. Here, when the detection signal is input from the passing ball sensor 7S, the main RA
"1" is added to the passing storage number stored in the predetermined area of M30c. This passing memory number is normally set to "4" as an upper limit value, and when reaching the upper limit value, the passing memory number is not added even if there is an input signal from the passing ball sensor 7S. It should be noted that no upper limit may be set for this passing memory count.

Next, referring to FIG. 15, ST23
The procedure of the "start prize ball sensor check process" (FIG. 14) will be described.
