Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to liquid crystal, LED, CR.
The present invention relates to a gaming machine, a gaming machine program, and a computer-readable recording medium for controlling a display mode on a variable display means such as T or a reel that is mechanically driven to rotate using a control device such as a computer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A ball game machine such as a pachinko game machine is constructed so that a predetermined condition is satisfied by supplying a game medium, and the game medium can be paid out in the case of a hit as a result of the game. . Further, in a ball game machine such as a pachinko game machine, the display mode of the variable display means is controlled by using a control device such as a computer when the predetermined condition is satisfied, and it is advantageous / disadvantageous to the player based on the result of the display mode. It is configured to specify a gaming state.

For example, a ball game machine (first-class special electric accessory, etc.) is provided with an image display area of liquid crystal, which is usually called digital, on the front surface of the ball game machine as variable display means. In this image display device, multiple patterns (including pictures and numbers)
There is a main display area that variably displays, and in this main display area, a control device such as a computer is used to variably display the symbols as if they are rotating at high speed, and after a predetermined time has passed, a time difference of about several seconds for each symbol Is displayed in order to temporarily stop the rotation. In the main display area, the first of the plurality of symbols
After the temporary stop of the symbol, the next temporary stop symbol (second temporary stop symbol) is aligned with the first temporary stop symbol, the so-called reach state is reached, and the remaining symbols are temporarily stopped and all the symbols are aligned,
When the symbols are completely stopped and the symbols of the same kind are gathered, a big hit as a gaming state advantageous to the player occurs. That is, when the symbol mode stopped in this main display area is a predetermined specific stopped symbol mode, for example, a combination of "7", "7", and "7", in the pachinko gaming machine, a pachinko ball A game state occurs in which a large number of game balls can be acquired.

In addition, when the complete stop symbol is a predetermined specific symbol, there is also a ball game machine that causes a probability change that the next big hit probability and small hit probability increase significantly.

Next, a procedure for generating a big hit will be described with a pachinko gaming machine. That is, in order to be a big hit on a pachinko gaming machine, a big hit random number must be assigned from the big hit random number generation range value in the big hit determination program. The jackpot determination program is for determining whether it is a jackpot or a loss, and all of the plurality of symbols displayed in the main display area are determined based on the random number assigned by the symbol determination program described later.

As an example of a pachinko gaming machine, a sensor provided at a predetermined winning opening called a starting winning opening defined as establishment of a predetermined condition has a game ball (hereinafter, referred to as a ball passing through the starting winning opening. When a game ball is called a ball (a predetermined condition may be satisfied by a plurality of detections), the jackpot determination program is started to determine one of the jackpot random number generation range random numbers. Then, a plurality of symbols are variably displayed in the main display area as if they are rotating, and subsequently a plurality of symbols are temporarily stopped in order from the first symbol (first stop symbol) based on the random number assigned by the symbol determination program. It is displayed and finally the fixed stop symbol is displayed.

In the case of a big hit, an image showing the big hit is displayed on the entire surface of the image display device including the main display area, and the big hit is produced by using a decorative lamp and a speaker provided on the front surface of the ball game machine. The lamp flashes and music is output. On the other hand, if it is not a big hit and it is lost, the demonstration pattern before the change is displayed on the image display device, and the image display device waits until the next big hit occurs. Since the symbol displayed in the main display area is a variable symbol indicating a big hit or a loss, this is called a special symbol.

As described above, in order to allocate a random number which is a big hit, it is necessary to win a ball at the starting winning port. Then, the number of balls won in the starting winning opening during the variable display of the symbols is stored in the memory of the main board of the computer structure mounted on the pachinko gaming machine. Then, the stored number is notified to the player by turning on the stored ball number display lamp provided on the game board (hereinafter, the reserved ball number display lamp is referred to as a reserve lamp).

Since the number of lights of the holding lamp corresponds to the number of winnings, it means how many rights are assigned to the above-mentioned jackpot random number, but the assignment of the random number (or fluctuation and stop display of the symbol) is once. When executed, the number of holding lamps turned on is reduced by one. In addition, the number of times that the right can be obtained in succession (the number of memories of the balls that have won the starting winning opening) is also
Similar to the hold lamp, when the random number is allocated once, the random number is decreased once.

[0010]

By the way, the player wants to quickly know which one of the memory numbers of the balls which has won the starting winning opening is the winning and which is the losing. The internal regulations of the law of law (customs business rules and laws regarding the optimization of business) are determined to be performed once each time a fixed stop symbol is displayed on the symbol display device.

As for the number of lit holding lamps and the number of balls stored in the starting winning opening (memorizing value of the starting opening winning a prize), how many right now have the right to allocate the above-mentioned big hit random number (ie,
However, it does not meet the expectation of the player, and the lighting of the hold lamp lacks impact from the viewpoint of playability.

The present invention obtains a random number by a predetermined process based on the fact that a game is performed and a predetermined condition is satisfied, and if the random number matches a predetermined random number, it becomes a hit and a game state advantageous to the player is obtained. It is used for gaming machines that will be lost if they do not match, and the validity of the obtained random number is shown before the advantageous game performance is achieved (including when the above-mentioned holding lamp is turned on), and in the game of the player. It is a technical object to provide a game machine, a game machine program, and a computer-readable recording medium that can be used as an early judgment material and can be improved in operability and amusement including entertainment.

[0013]

The gaming machine of the present invention is configured as follows to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. That is, the gaming machine of the present invention sets a predetermined value in a predetermined random number area based on that the predetermined condition is satisfied again when a predetermined condition is satisfied by performing a game and a predetermined process is performed. Random number extraction means for extracting a random number by a random number generation means for generating, and a game machine for storing the extracted random number and for consuming the storage of the random number acquired by the completion of the predetermined process, by the random number generation means. The generated random number area is divided into a plurality of predetermined random number group areas, and the area determining means determines the predetermined random number group area to which the stored random number belongs, and the predetermined random number group area determined by the area determining means. And a notification means for performing the notification.

According to this structure, when a predetermined condition such as a winning opening prize is satisfied and a predetermined process is performed, the predetermined condition is satisfied again, and therefore, it is stored without being digested. Although the result of random number hit / lost (matching or non-matching in the relationship of random numbers) is not known, the predetermined random number group castle corresponding to the area to which the random number belongs is judged by the notification means, and the area to which the random number belongs Since it can be known at an early stage whether or not the region has a high expected value (effectiveness), the expectation of the player can be satisfied and the playability can be improved.

The gaming machine of the present invention comprises the above-mentioned essential constituent elements, but the constituent elements can be realized even in the following specific cases. That is, the gaming machine of the present invention,
When the stored number of the random numbers reaches the predetermined number without being digested, the predetermined area of the predetermined random number group is judged by the area judgment means, and the predetermined random number detailed area judged by the notification means is determined. It is characterized by making a notification.

According to this structure, when the stored number of the random numbers reaches the predetermined number without being digested, the relationship between the predetermined random number group region having a high expected value as a reward and the extracted random numbers is determined. Since it is possible to notify, the player continues playing the game until the notification according to the predetermined random number group area with a high expected value is performed, and the game is performed if the notification according to the predetermined random number group area with a high expected value is performed. It becomes possible to pause, to take a rest, to perform a game operation so as to make the game state more advantageous, and to enjoy a predetermined effect provided on the gaming machine.

Further, the gaming machine of the present invention determines the priority order of the predetermined random number group castle notified by the notification means, and changes the notification mode according to the determined priority order. It is characterized in that a changing means is provided.

According to this structure, as a priority order in which the player is likely to enter the game state advantageous to the player, the order is assigned according to the area contents of each of the plurality of predetermined random number groups judged by the area judging means, and in that order. By performing the notification mode according to, for example, it is possible to change the notification mode when it is the predetermined random number group castle with the highest priority,
The expectation of the evasion person can be satisfied and the playability can be improved.

Further, in the gaming machine of the present invention, the priority of the predetermined random number group castle notified by the notification means is determined, and the predetermined random number related to the stored random number already notified. It is characterized in that a changing means for changing the notification mode is provided as compared with the priority order grain in the group area.

According to this configuration, the priority levels of the predetermined random number group area determined based on the previously stored random number and the predetermined random number group area determined based on the later stored random number are known, It will be possible to give the player an appropriate sense of tension, and also to compare the priorities and change the notification mode when the priority is high,
It becomes possible to gradually understand that the game state is becoming more advantageous for the player, so that the expectation of the player can be satisfied and the playability can be improved.

Furthermore, in the gaming machine of the present invention, when the stored random number is not a predetermined random number group area including a predetermined special random number, the random number judged by the area judging means is used. It is characterized by deleting.

According to this configuration, when the stored random number is a predetermined random number group area that does not include a predetermined special random number, the random number is deleted, so that the number of processing steps in the game machine can be reduced. Further, in the escape machine that performs a predetermined effect other than the extraction of random numbers when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the effect can be finished in a short time by deleting the random number, so there is no disadvantageous game control processing. as well as,
It is possible to improve the progress efficiency of the game. Note that the predetermined random number group area containing the predetermined special random number is a predetermined random number group area containing one special random number,
It may be a predetermined random number group region containing a relatively large number of predetermined special random numbers of a specific type.

Furthermore, in the gaming machine of the present invention, the predetermined random number group area is a variable random number group area in which the range of the predetermined random number group area is changed according to the number of stored random numbers that are not erased. Is characterized in that.

According to this structure, the range of the predetermined random number group area varies depending on the number of stored random numbers that are not digested, so that the predetermined special random number is stored in the predetermined random number group area. Even if included, if the range is wide (large), it is difficult to match the extracted random numbers, so the expected value can be lowered, and if the range is narrow (small), it is easy to match the extracted random numbers. As a result, the expected value can be increased, and the random number stored in the variable random number group area that does not include the predetermined special random number in the range can be deleted. For,
By satisfying the expectations of the player and deleting random numbers that do not hit, it is possible to improve the game control processing without disadvantage and the progress efficiency of the game.

Further, in the gaming machine of the present invention, the predetermined random number group area is a variable random number group in which a predetermined random number is extracted when a predetermined condition is satisfied, and the range of the predetermined random number group area changes according to the number of times of storage. It is a region.

According to this structure, the range of the predetermined random number group area varies depending on the number of times the predetermined random spread is extracted by satisfying the predetermined condition such as the winning of the starting mouth. Even if the predetermined special random number is included, it is difficult to match the extracted random number if the range is wide (large), and therefore the expected value can be lowered, and if the range is narrow (small), it is extracted. The expected value can be increased because the easiness of matching with a random number that has been improved can be increased, and it is extracted when the range changes to the predetermined random number group region that does not include the predetermined special random number. Since the random number can be deleted, the expectation of the player can be satisfied, and by deleting the random number that does not hit, it is possible to improve the game control process without disadvantage and the progress efficiency of the game. That. The starting point for counting the number of times may be an arbitrary timing such as after the jackpot is over, or when the power supply is super-moved.

Furthermore, in the gaming machine of the present invention, the predetermined random number group area is preset in accordance with the number of stored random numbers stored without being erased or the number of times the predetermined random number is extracted and stored. It is characterized in that it is a variable random number group region in which the range of the predetermined random number group region containing the defined special random number is narrowed.

According to this structure, the range of the predetermined random number group area is narrowed by increasing the number of stored random numbers that are stored without being digested or the number of times the predetermined random number is extracted when the predetermined condition is satisfied ( Since it fluctuates so that it becomes smaller, it becomes easier to match with the extracted random number, so that the expected value can be increased with the increase of the condition,
Moreover, since the range of the predetermined random number group region that does not include the predetermined random number is increased at the same time, the chances of deleting the extracted random numbers that cannot be notified by the notification means are increased, so that the game is played. Meet the expectations of
Moreover, by increasing the chances of deleting a random number that does not match the special random number, it is possible to further improve the evasion control processing without disadvantage and the progress efficiency of the game.

Furthermore, in the gaming machine of the present invention, the notifying means is a variable display means for changing a color, a light emission, a lighting mode, or a symbol content.

The notifying means is not limited to the one described above,
Any known information transmitting means such as a voice generating means and a waving generating means capable of transmitting the notification content to the player may be used. Further, since it is possible to expect the effect of various variations in the gaming machine by the notification means, it is possible to further improve the game playability.

Furthermore, the game machine program of the present invention is such that, when a predetermined condition is satisfied and a predetermined process is performed by playing a game, the predetermined random number is satisfied based on that the predetermined condition is satisfied again. A random number extracting means for extracting a random number by a random number generating means for generating a predetermined value in the area,

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention will be described below in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the present embodiment, a ball launched by a game ball launching device installed in a ball game machine (hereinafter referred to as "pachinko ball" unless otherwise specified).
A ball-ball game machine (hereinafter referred to as "pachinko-ball game machine") that uses is exemplified.

The pachinko ball game machine I shown in this embodiment
Are classified as "Types 1 to 3 or others" in the internal regulations of the law of proper customs (laws related to the rules of business and entertainment business, etc.).

First, an overall image of a pachinko ball game machine will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a pachinko ball game machine I viewed from the front side thereof, and FIG. 2 is a front view thereof.

On the game board 1 of the pachinko ball game machine I, a guide rail 2 for guiding the pachinko balls fired by the operation of the handle 28, which is a game ball launching device, into the game board 1 is planted in a substantially circular shape. Has been done. Then, the substantially circular area defined by the guide rail 2 becomes the game area 3.

At a substantially central portion of the game area 3, a plurality of pieces of identification information such as numbers, symbols and patterns (hereinafter, referred to as liquid crystal display)
It is called "design". ) Is variably displayed, and a symbol display device 30 is installed. The symbols displayed by the symbol display device 30 are not limited to those displayed on the liquid crystal display, but symbols drawn on the surface of the rotating drum, symbols drawn on the surface of the rotating sphere, dot matrix lamp display device. , CR
Any T, EL display or the like that can display the symbols in a variable manner may be used.

The symbol display device 30 is provided in the central portion of the game board surface 1, and the symbol display device shows the variable display mode and the fixed stop display mode by the well-known three-digit symbols (32a, 32b, 32c). The determination result display unit 32 is included.
The three-digit symbol (32
a, 32b, 32c) are displayed as follows. That is, when the start winning prize detecting sensor 5 provided near the starting winning opening 4 detects a winning prize (one of the predetermined conditions is achieved), the detected signal is provided inside the pachinko ball game machine I. It is sent to the main controller 60 via the input interface 58 (see FIG. 3). Then, in the main control device 60, a determination program for determining whether or not to be in a special game state is executed, random number lottery is performed, and a variable display mode of each variable symbol and the background of the variable symbol based on the extracted value. , And the display mode of the variable temporary stop symbol is determined,
Finally, it hits the determination result display unit 32 and displays a fixed stop symbol indicating a deviation.

When the combination of the fixed stop symbols becomes a predetermined fixed stop display mode, the player can advantageously advance the game in a specific game state (big hit) or special game state (big hit probability increase big hit), etc. Will start.

The specific game state is a jackpot state that appears within a predetermined period after all the variable display of the determination result display section 32 is stopped, and the special game state is determined after the end of the specific game state. Increased jackpot probability increase that appears within a certain period. It is a loss unless it becomes a specific game state or a special game state. Therefore, since the symbols 32a, 32b, and 32c are the symbols for determining the presence or absence of a hit, this is called a special symbol.

A mode in which at least one of the symbols 32a, 32b and 32c is changing is called a variable display mode of the symbols,
Specific behavior of special symbols (behavior during changes: variable temporary stop display effect of symbols, reach effect, etc.) and variable display mode of background of special symbols (notice effect using changes of characters, background, etc.) are also included. . On the other hand, the display mode when all the symbols are stopped is referred to as the fixed stop symbol mode. By moving from the variable display mode to the fixed stop mode, whether it is a big hit or a loss, and if it is a big hit, which of the symbols are the big hits, or whether the jackpot probability increase fluctuation big hit or not Be informed. Therefore,
It can be said that the variable display mode of the symbols is related to the fixed stop symbol mode.

Since the special winning symbol variation is caused when the pachinko ball enters the starting winning a prize hole 4, it is said that the starting winning a prize hole 4 has a starting winning a prize, and the starting winning a prize hole 4 is also called a starting mouth. The pachinko balls that win the prize are called "winning balls" unless otherwise specified. Whether or not there is a prize is determined when a pachinko ball enters the start winning port 4, and the pachinko ball is detected by a prize detection sensor 5, which is a prize ball detector.

The number of pachinko balls that have won in the starting winning opening 4 during the change of the symbols is a hold ball of the pachinko ball game machine I up to a predetermined maximum number (for example, 8) as the hold balls which are the starting conditions for the change of the symbols. It is stored in the storage memory (RAM 60c).
Note that the number stored in the reserved ball storage memory is referred to as the special symbol variation storage number.

The number of balls to be held can be known to the player by the number of lights of the holding ball display LEDs 44a to 44h which are holding lamps provided on the game board surface. Then, from the number of the reserved ball display LEDs 44a to 44f that are turned on, the player can know how much the symbol changes (rotation of the drum). Therefore, the held ball display L that is lit up
It can be said that the number of EDs 44 is start memory information indicating a predetermined number of valid times (e.g., 8 times) for the winning as a condition for starting the symbol variation.

[Description of Main Control Program] Next, the main control device 60 executes the main control program to perform "power-on process (see FIG. 4)" and "winning area notification process (see FIG. 5)". Will be described based on each flowchart.

As shown in FIG. 4, the power-on process is the first process to be executed after power-on, and is repeatedly executed after initial setting such as operation setting of the CPU 60a of the main controller 60. Configure loop processing.

That is, when the power is turned on, the CPU 6
0a is the CPU 60a, such as permission to access the RAM with built-in CPU
Performs initial setting processing related to the operation (step 10).
1). In this initial setting process, the CPU 60a performs a power-off check process. In the power-off check process, whether or not the power is turned on after the power is cut off (whether the power is restored from the start,
Or it is started from the normal state). There are three items for this distribution condition: (1) the state of the RAM clear switch, (2) the value of the flag that is set when the power is cut off, (3) the contents of all RAM areas when the power is cut off, and the total contents when the power is turned on. The contents of the RAM area.

Then, after execution of predetermined data, transmission of a startup command to the sub-control unit, or in the case of an error state, the state before power-off is returned to cancel the error, etc., and then the transition to the main routine is permitted. Perform processing to

Next, steps 102 to 115
The system timer interrupt processing, which is the main routine up to, is performed. This system timer interrupt process is a process that is executed periodically (for example, 3 ms), and also updates the timer and the random number for special symbol jackpot determination. Therefore, for each reset signal from the clock built in the main control device 60, the CPU 60a
This is a machine cycle that is repeatedly performed in the processing of the ROM 60b and the RAM 60c.

Next, after the initial setting process (step 101), the CPU 60a appropriately sets a random number range corresponding to a plurality of game purposes (big hit determination, effect selection, display symbol selection, variable win selection, etc.). And the random number within the random number range is updated periodically by electronic means to continue the update (step 102).

Next, the CPU 60a reads the port related to the input information. When reading this port, CPU6
0a is a start winning ball detection sensor (first type start opening switch)
.., etc. are read, and edge detection is performed. Next, the CPU 60a detects all the winning information detected by all the predetermined winning openings or winning areas provided on the gaming machine board surface as input management. A management process and a control process for preparing a form that can be used for performing other process steps are performed (step 103).

Next, the CPU 60a performs an abnormality monitoring process such as a supply-ball out error or a plate full error (step 10).
4), the CPU 60a performs normal symbol control processing (step 105). In this normal symbol control process, CPU
60a performs operation management from the variation start to the stop according to the symbol defined as the normal symbol 34 and the command transmission preparation to the normal symbol electric accessory control process (step 110). In this case, passing chuckers 9A to 9D (not shown) on the game board 1
Due to the detection of the passing winning ball detection sensor 74 in the vicinity of, at the start of the normal symbol variation, the hit determination based on the variation, the variation time is determined, and in the case of hitting, the ordinary symbol electric accessory (electric tulip etc. Preparation for transmission is performed for processing related to the movement of the movable winning device).

Next, the CPU 60a performs a special symbol control process (step 106). In this special symbol control,
The CPU 60a is a special symbol displayed on the variable symbol display device 30 and is controlled to start and stop fluctuations due to the symbols defined as special symbols, and a variable symbol display control process (step 109) or a special winning area control process (step 111) is sent. Get ready. In this case, when the variation based on the predetermined winning detection by the input management process 103 is started, the random number to be extracted for determining the content of the effect such as the collision determination based on the variation and the variation time to be executed corresponding to the determination result of this variation is determined. Process and do. Further, in the case of a big hit, the CPU 60a manages the number of big hit rounds, a special winning opening opening / closing check, and the like.

Next, the CPU 60a performs a winning area notification process (step 107). This prize area notification processing is shown in FIG.
The CPU 60a performs the lamp / LED control process (step 113) based on the content of the winning area notification process.

Next, the CPU 60a performs an output management process (step 108). This output management process is a management process for outputting and editing the data of the command to be transmitted to each sub-control device side (control device relating to variable symbol display, game profit payout, lamp, voice, etc.) and external (hall It is a process for performing a management process for transmitting predetermined information to a centralized management computer (for example, a test laboratory).

Next, the CPU 60a performs a variable symbol display control process (step 109). This variable symbol display control process is an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or LED based on the information obtained by the normal symbol control process (step 105) or the special symbol control process (step 106).
Symbol display device 30 such as (Light Emitting Diode)
This is a process for controlling the effect mode by the normal symbol display device 52.

Next, the CPU 60a performs a normal symbol electric auditors product control process (step 110). This normal symbol electric auditors product control process is a process of controlling the variation mode by the normal symbol electric auditors product based on the information obtained in the normal symbol control process (step 105) and the like.

Next, the CPU 60a executes a special winning area control process (step 111). This big winning area control processing is based on the information obtained in the special symbol control processing (step 106) and the like. This is a process of controlling the variation mode from the start to the end of the movable plate that opens and closes the special winning opening.

Next, the CPU 60a performs a payout control process (step 112). This payout control process is based on the information obtained by the input management process (step 103) or the special symbol control process (step 106). This is a process of performing payout control for paying out.

Next, the CPU 60a performs a lamp / LED control process (step 113). The lamp / LED control process is a process of controlling the lamp / LED and the like provided in the game area 3 for producing light according to the progress of the game state.

Next, the CPU 60a determines whether or not the power is off (step 115). If the power is off (step 115: YES), the process is terminated. On the other hand, if the power is not turned off (step 115: N
O), the main routine process from step 102 is repeated.

[Winning area (predetermined random number group area) notification processing]
Next, the winning area notification processing (step 107) will be described. In the prize area notification process, a description will be given assuming that the upper limit value of the number of reserved memories is set to 7 (operation prize memory value 8). The reserved ball display LEDs 44a to 44h provided on the game board surface are turned on in the order of 44a to 44h. Then, by the hold storage counter processed in the special symbol control process, when detected in the input management process, +1 is added and one hold ball display LED is turned on, and at the end of the symbol variation process, -1 is subtracted and held. Processing for turning off one ball display LED is performed. And
If 8 is the upper limit, if more than 8 are treated as invalid balls.
In addition, in this embodiment, the value of the operation winning memory is “1”.
At this time, the value of the reserved storage is "0". Therefore, the upper limit value of the memory of winning prizes for operation is 8.

When the winning area (predetermined random number group area) notification processing starts, the CPU 60a causes the pachinko ball to enter the starting winning slot 4 and the value of the operation winning memory based on the detected winning is 4 as shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not the following (step 201). As a result of the determination, if the value of the memory for winning winning action is 4 or less (step 201: YES), that is, if the value of the number of stored reserved balls does not reach the predetermined value or if the reserved ball display LEDs 44a to 44d are in the lighting state. , CPU
60a shifts to the processing of step 209. On the other hand, when the value of the memory for winning the prize is not 4 or less (step 201: N
O), that is, when the value of the number of stored retained balls for which the retained ball display LEDs 44a to 44c are lit is 3, the CPU 60
In a, it is determined whether or not the value of the memory for winning a prize is 5 or more and 9 or less (step 202). As a result of the determination, if the value of the memory for winning winning prizes is not 5 or more and 9 or less (step 202: NO), that is, if the value of the number of stored reserved balls with the reserved ball display LEDs 44a to 44f in the lit state is 8, the CPU 60a executes step 205. Process shifts to. On the other hand, when the value of the operation winning award memory is 5 or more and 9 or less (step 202: YES), that is, when any of the reserved ball display LEDs 44d to 44f can be turned on, the CPU 60a is extracted by satisfying a predetermined condition. The stored random number is compared with the first predetermined random number group area for matching (step 203: area determining means). Note that the first predetermined random number group area for matching uses a random number area divided into two. As a two-part,
For example, as shown in the first predetermined random number group area for collation in FIG. 6A, there are relatively many special random numbers for normal jackpot, which include “77” defined as an example of the special random number for jackpot. (The number of hit random numbers may be one, or a plurality of hit random numbers may be used; the same shall apply hereinafter.) Random number group area A (random numbers 0 to 1)
49) and a predetermined random number group area B (random numbers 150 to 29) including a relatively large number of random numbers “220” and the like determined to be for jackpot with probability variation.
9) and two predetermined random number group areas. Then, the area determination means (CPU 60a) determines whether or not the extracted and stored random number is included in any of the predetermined random number group areas.

The CPU 60a generates data (notification data indicating the corresponding predetermined random number group area) related to the execution instruction of the area notification corresponding to the collated predetermined random number group area (step 204). For example, the reserved ball display LEDs 44d to 44, which are examples of notification means of belonging to a corresponding predetermined random number group area.
A command for changing the brightness and color according to f and notifying the number of pieces of information to be held is output.

In the processing of step 205, the CPU 6
0a collates the extracted random number with the second predetermined random number group area for collation that is subdivided from the first predetermined random number group area for collation (area determining means). Note that the second predetermined random number group area for matching uses a random number area divided into three. What is divided into three is a random number group area obtained by further dividing the first predetermined random number group area for matching into (second division) as shown in the second predetermined random number group area for matching in FIG. Random number group area A (random number 0
To 99) and a random number group area B (random numbers 100 to 199) that does not include random numbers for winning and a random number group area C (random number 20) that includes a relatively large number of random numbers "220" and the like that are defined for jackpot with probability variation.
0 to 299). Then, the area determination means (CPU 60a) determines whether or not the extracted random number is included in any of the predetermined random number group areas.

Next, the CPU 60a determines whether or not it is a predetermined random number group area (step 206). The predetermined predetermined random number group area refers to a random number group area that includes random numbers that are tentatively determined as a hit. If the result of the determination is that it is a predetermined random number group area (step 206: YES), the CPU 60a causes the step 208 to proceed.
Process shifts to. On the other hand, if it is not the predetermined random number group area (step 206: NO), the random number used when matching the predetermined random number group area is not stored (stored) and deleted (step 207).

In the processing of step 208, the CPU 6
0a generates data related to the execution instruction of the area notification corresponding to the predetermined random number group area of the stored random numbers (the notification data indicating the corresponding predetermined random number group area). For example, a command for changing the brightness or color of the reserved ball display LEDs 44d to 44f, which is an example of a notification unit, to output the affiliation of the corresponding predetermined random number group area is output.

In the processing of step 209, the CPU 6
0a determines whether or not the symbol variation has ended. If the symbol variation has not ended (step 209: NO), the process returns to step 107 and subsequent steps in FIG. On the other hand, when the symbol variation is completed (step 209: YES), if there is the above-mentioned notification mode informing corresponding to the symbol variation, data relating to the stop command is generated (step 210), and FIG. Then, the process returns to step 107 and subsequent steps.

According to this embodiment, although the hit / miss is not displayed at the stage where the extracted random numbers are stored with the predetermined conditions being satisfied, the predetermined random number corresponding to the area to which the stored random number belongs. Judging the group area,
Whether or not the area to which the random number belongs is in a predetermined random number group area including a specific random number (per random number) can be judged by the difference in brightness and color by the reserved ball display LEDs 44d to 44f which are provisionally defined as the notification means. Expectations can be satisfied and game play can be improved.

Further, by narrowing the range of the predetermined random number group area as the number of stored random numbers stored as being held is approaching a predetermined number, the player can satisfy the expectation as the memory approaches the predetermined number. It can be done, and the playability can be improved. Further, according to this configuration, by providing the variable random number group area, it is possible to notify even a predetermined random number group area that is difficult to hit.

As another embodiment (Embodiment 2), the acquisition condition relating to the winning determination start right is achieved during a predetermined processing state based on the achievement of the predetermined condition, and the winning determination start right is suspended. It is also possible to exemplify a configuration in which the notification processing is performed when the number of rights that are considered and stored (the number of stored random numbers) reaches a predetermined number without being digested.

Furthermore, as another embodiment (Embodiment 3), the range of the predetermined random number group region is set according to the number of times the random numbers are extracted and stored based on the achievement of a predetermined condition. It is also possible to exemplify a configuration that is a fluctuating random number group area. Next, another embodiment (Embodiment 3) will be described. In the prize area informing process, the upper limit value of the number of reserved memories is set to 7, and the case where the random number area range is changed depending on the number of times of the big hit lottery will be described.

When the winning area (predetermined random number group area) notification process starts, the CPU 60a causes the pachinko ball to enter the starting winning opening 4 and the value of the operation winning memory based on the detected winning is 5 as shown in FIG. It is determined whether the number is 8 or more (step 301). As a result of the determination, when the value of the memory for winning the winning prize is not 5 or more and 8 or less (step 301: NO), that is, when the value of the number of held balls stored has not reached the predetermined value, the CPU 60a proceeds to the process of step 308.
On the other hand, when the value of the memory for winning the prize is 5 or more and 8 or less (step 301: YES), that is, the reserved ball lamp LED 44.
When d to 44f are in the lightable state, the CPU 60a performs the +1 update process by the lottery number storage means (step 3).
02). The lottery number storage means counts the lottery number related to the jackpot determination from when the power is turned on or after the jackpot occurs until the next jackpot occurs.

Next, the CPU 60a determines whether or not the number of times the lottery is counted when the power is turned on or after the jackpot is over is 99 or less (step 303). Step 303
As a result of the determination, when the number of times of lottery counted after turning on the power or after the jackpot is 99 or less (step 303:
(YES), the CPU 60a collates the extracted and stored random numbers with the collating first predetermined random number group region (see FIG. 6A) (step 304).

On the other hand, when the number of times of lottery counted when the power is turned on or after the jackpot is over is not 99 or less (step 303: NO), the CPU 60a is subdivided from the extracted and stored random number and the first predetermined random number group area for collation. The second predetermined random number group area for collation (see FIG. 6B) is collated (step 305).

Next, the CPU 60a determines whether or not the validity at the time of collation is higher than the previous time as the priority order of the predetermined random number group area (step 306), and if higher than the previous time (step 306: YES), the step is executed. If it is not higher than the previous time (step 306: NO), the process goes to step 308. Note that the priority order in this embodiment means two predetermined random number group regions (see FIG. 6A) to be collated in the process of step 304, or 3 to be collated in the process of step 304 or step 305. The six predetermined random number group areas (see FIG. 6B) are ranked in order of being likely to be in a state advantageous to the player. That is, the priority order is (1) a second predetermined random number group area C including random numbers provisionally determined for jackpot with probability variation,
(2) Second predetermined random number group area A containing a random number temporarily set for jackpot, (3) First predetermined random number group area B containing a random number temporarily set for jackpot with probability variation, (4) Tentatively set for jackpot. The first predetermined random number group area A including the random number and the second random number group area B including no random number for (5).

In the processing of step 307, the CPU 60a executes either the data relating to the execution instruction of the area notification according to the collated predetermined random number group area or the execution of the area notification according to the gasse notification which is less effective at the time of matching. Generate data related to the instruction.

Further, the CPU 60a, in the process of step 308, determines whether or not the symbol variation has ended, and if the symbol variation has not ended (step 308: NO),
The process proceeds to step 310. On the other hand, when the symbol variation has ended (step 308: YES), if there is a mode of the notification informing corresponding to the symbol variation, data relating to the stop command is generated (step 309), step 310. Process shifts to.

In the processing of step 310, the CPU 6
0a determines whether or not a big hit has occurred, and when a big hit has occurred (step 310: YES), the update counter by the lottery number storage means is reset (step 3).
11) and returns to the processing of step 107 onward in FIG. On the other hand, if no jackpot has occurred (step 311:
Also in (NO), the processing returns to the processing after step 107 in FIG.

According to this example, by varying the range of the predetermined random number group area according to the number of times of lottery after the end of the special game state (big hit etc.), the player having a large number of times of lottery (getting away) In addition, the range of the predetermined random number group area can be narrowed to provide highly effective notification.

Furthermore, as another embodiment (Embodiment 4), the predetermined random number group area is stored in the predetermined random number group area as the number of stored random numbers or the number of times the random numbers are extracted and stored. It is also possible to exemplify a configuration in which the range of the predetermined random number group area in which the special random number predetermined in accordance with the increase is included is a variable random number group area.

According to this example, by varying the range of the predetermined random number group area in accordance with the number of stored random numbers or the number of times of lottery after the special game state ends, the predetermined random number group area is given to the player who is distant from the hit. The range of can be narrowed and highly effective notification can be performed.
