Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention comprises a variable display device capable of variably displaying a plurality of pieces of identification information, and display control means for controlling display of the variable display device, and the variable display is performed based on the establishment of a predetermined condition. After the variable display of the identification information on the device, the variable display is stopped to execute the display game in which a plurality of pieces of identification information are stopped and displayed, and the display mode of the display result of the display game is a special stop that is a combination of predetermined identification information. The present invention relates to a gaming machine that generates a special gaming state in which a predetermined gaming value can be given to a player when a result mode is achieved.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a pachinko machine called a fever machine is generally known as a game machine of this type. In the fever machine, when a ball launched into the game area formed on the game board wins the starting opening, identification information such as various symbols is variably displayed by scrolling etc. on the variable display device composed of a liquid crystal screen, etc. A display game is executed in which the variable display is stopped after a lapse of time.

A special stop result which is a specific combination such that the display result when the variable display in this display game is decided to be stopped is, for example, that all three pieces of identification information displayed in a stop state are the same (for example, "333"). In the mode, a special game state (so-called fever) occurs. That is, a state in which a game value can be given to a player is formed by repeatedly opening and closing the special winning opening a predetermined number of times.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional gaming machine, the expectation and excitement of the player are greatly aroused by the display game, even after the reach mode appears, but it is variable. Since the display game on the display device is always started from a predetermined initial mode each time it is started, it takes a long time to arouse the expectation and excitement of the player.

Further, when a special game state that the player longs for occurs, the special winning opening is only opened and closed repeatedly up to a predetermined number of times, and the game value depends on the opening and closing number of the special winning opening. There was also a problem that the size of the game did not change at all and the special game state was relatively monotonous and lacking in fun.

The present invention has been made by paying attention to the problems of the prior art as described above. In addition to the case where the display game is started not only from the initial mode but also from the reach mode, the display mode is also started from the reach mode. By varying the value of the game value depending on the special game state in response to the start, it is possible to arouse the expectations and excitement of the player from the beginning of the display game, and further enhance the interest in the entire game. The purpose is to provide a gaming machine.

[10] The game value changing means (1309)
b), when the display result of the display game is confirmed in the special stop result mode, the game value that can be given when the display result is confirmed in the special stop result mode in the next display game is The game machine according to [2], [3], [5], [6], [8] or [9], which is characterized by returning to an initial setting game value.

[11] In the display game, the maximum number of continuation times that can be continued a plurality of times when starting from the reach mode is predetermined, and when the maximum number of continuation times is reached, the game value is reached. The changing means (1309b) is
[2], [3], characterized in that the game value that can be given when the display result is determined in the special stop result mode in the next display game is returned to the normal initial setting game value.
The gaming machine described in [5], [6], [8], [9] or [10].

The present invention operates as follows. In the gaming machine according to the present invention, when the starting means (21, 121) detects a ball such as a ball hit on the game board winning the starting opening, the random number obtaining means (1302) generates the random number generating means. A random number value is acquired from (1301). Random number determination means (1
306) determines whether the random number value acquired by the random number acquisition means (1302) is a hit random number.

When the display game is started, the reach continuation random number obtaining means (1304) obtains a random number value from the reach continuation random number generating means (1303). The reach continuation random number determination means (1308) is a reach continuation random number acquisition means (1
It is determined whether the obtained random number value in 304) is a reach continuation random number.

When the judgment result of the random number judgment means (1306) is a hit random number, the display control means (100, 300) executes the display game so that the display result becomes the special stop result mode. On the other hand, when the determination result of the random number determination means (1306) is not a winning random number, the display game is executed so that the display result becomes a display mode other than the special stop result mode.

Further, display control means (100, 300)
When the determination result of the reach continuation random number determination means (1308) is the reach continuation random number, the display game is started from the reach mode. In this way, since the display game may start from the reach mode, the expectation and excitement of the player are
It becomes possible to call out immediately after the start of the display game.

Specifically, for example, the variable display device (31
In (0), when a display game is executed in which the state where three identical symbols such as "777" are arranged is a special stop result mode, it is the same when the mode at the start is the reach mode. The display game will be started from the reach mode in which the two symbols are already arranged and the remaining one is variably displayed.

By the way, the random number obtaining means (1302) obtains the random number value from the random number generating means (1301) when the starting means (21, 121) detects a game ball. Here, the random number obtaining means. The random number value obtained by (1302) is temporarily stored in the random number storage means (1305).
Then, when the display game is actually started, the random number value acquired by the random number acquisition means (1302) is read from the random number storage means (1305), and this random number value is a random number hit by the random number determination means (1306). It may be set so as to determine whether or not.

Alternatively, as another example, the random number acquisition means (1
302) obtains the random number value from the random number generating means (1301) when the starting means (21, 121) detects a game ball, but at this point it is determined whether or not the random number value is a random number. The means (1306) makes a determination, and the determination result is stored in the random number determination result storage means (1305). Then, when the display game is actually started, the determination result of the random number value acquired by the random number acquisition means (1302) may be read from the random number determination result storage means (1305).

Further, the reach continuation random number obtaining means (130
It is when the display game is started that 4) acquires the random number value from the reach continuation random number generating means (1303).
The random number value acquired by the reach continuation random number acquisition means (1304) is immediately judged by the reach continuation random number judgment means (1308) whether or not it is a random number.

As described above, the display game may be started from the reach mode in addition to the initial mode, but when the display game is started from the reach mode, the game value changing means is executed. By (1309b), the game value that can be given when the display result of the display game is set to the special stop result mode is changed so as to be higher than the normal initial setting game value. In this way, by changing the game value that can be given when the special stop result mode is determined, depending on whether or not the display game is started from the reach mode,
The interest in the whole game can be enhanced.

When the display game is started from the reach mode for a plurality of times, when the display result for each display game is set to the special stop result mode by the game value changing means (1309b). It is advisable to sequentially increase the game value that can be given.

It is designed to open and close. The starting opening 21 is a normal second state (closed state) in which it is difficult for a ball to win due to the opening / closing operation of each movable piece.
It is configured as a so-called electric tulip accessory that changes to the first state (open state) where it is easy to win.

The winning of a ball in the starting opening 21 is set as a starting condition for executing a display game on the variable display device 310 described below. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the starting opening 21 includes a starting opening switch 121 for detecting the winning of a ball. When the starting opening switch 121 detects a winning ball and turns on, a starting winning signal is sent to the main board 1.
Output to 00. The start switch 121 is
For example, various sensors such as an optical sensor, a proximity sensor, or a magnetic sensor may be used. Here, the starting opening 21 and the starting opening switch 121 constitute a starting means.

The variable display device 310 has a display area capable of variably displaying various symbols as identification information on its screen, and is composed of a liquid crystal unit.
It is also possible to adopt a CRT display, a drum unit, a 7-segment display, or the like. In the variable display device 310, the variable display right is acquired and the display game is executed based on the establishment of a predetermined starting condition described later.

In the display game, a plurality of kinds of various symbols are set to scroll and change on the display area. If a predetermined start condition is satisfied again during execution of such a display game or during a period of a special game state described later, the right to acquire the display game is withheld but the display game currently in progress is suspended. After the end, the rights that have been put on hold will be sequentially consumed. Here, the maximum number of display game holdings is set to four, and the number is notified by the special symbol holding LED 420.

In the display game in this embodiment, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4, the display area of the variable display device 310 is divided into three horizontal display units (left display unit 311, middle display unit 312, right display unit 313) and used. The variable display in which the symbols scroll vertically is started. Then, one symbol is set to be stopped for each display unit after a predetermined time has elapsed. Each display part plays a role as one reel in the slot machine.

As a result of the display game, the symbols stopped on the respective display units have a predetermined combination as described above (for example, when all three of "5, 5, 5" etc. are all the same). When it becomes, it is defined as the special suspension result mode. In addition, before the special stop result mode is determined, a state in which the symbols stopped on the other two display units excluding the last display unit correspond to each other corresponds to the reach mode.

When the result of the display game is finally determined in the special stop result mode, a special game state (predetermined game value) in which the special winning opening 24 described below is repeatedly opened and closed within a predetermined number of times may occur. Is set to. In addition, when the result of the display game is not finally set to the special stop result mode, it corresponds to a disadvantageous display mode. It should be noted that the identification information used in the display game is not limited to simple symbols such as numbers and symbols from 0 to 9 and may be, for example, a model imitating a specific character.

Further, when the result of the display game is arranged in a predetermined probability variation pattern (for example, "7") in the special stop result mode, so-called probability variation jackpot occurs. When the probability variation big hit occurs, the probability that the big hit occurs in the variable display after the big hit ends is higher than in the normal state. In this way, the gaming state in which the probability of a big hit being generated is improved compared to the normal state is called a probability varying state.

When a ball is won in the starting opening 21 during execution of the above-mentioned display game or during a special game state described later, the right to display game is acquired but withheld, and it is currently in progress. After the display game and the like are finished, the rights that have been put on hold are sequentially digested. Here, the maximum number of display game holdings is set to four, and the number is notified by the special symbol holding LED 420.

Next, the operation of the gaming machine will be described. FIG. 13 shows a schematic functional configuration of a portion related to execution of a display game in the gaming machine body 1 and a flow of the display game. The ball that entered the starting opening 21 is detected by a starting opening switch 121 that is a starting means.

The random number generating means 1301 is a random number (for example, 0 to
Any number in 316) is continuously generated at a constant interval, and the random number acquisition means 1302 causes the random number generation means 1301 to generate a random number as a big hit random number (big hit random number value) when the starting means detects a sphere. ) To get.

At the same time, the random number obtaining means 1302 is adapted to obtain a random number value (big hit symbol random number value) as a big hit symbol random number from the big hit symbol random number generating means (not shown). The random number storage means of the storage unit 1305 is
The jackpot random number value and the jackpot symbol random value acquired by the random number acquisition means 1302 are stored in a first-in first-out format. Here, the big hit random number value and the big hit symbol random value are associated with each other each time the sphere is detected by the starting means, and become one set, and up to four sets as the number of reserved rights displayed on the special symbol holding LED 420 described above. Remembered.

When the display game is started, the storage unit 130
The jackpot symbol random value or the like is read out from the random number storage means 5 and the determination is made by the random number determination means 1306. Also,
The reach continuation random number generation unit 1303 uses a random number (for example, 0 to 0).
Although any number in 31) is continuously generated at a constant interval, when the display game is started, the reach continuation random number acquisition means 1304 causes the reach continuation random number generation means 1303 to disturb the reach continuation random number. Gets a numerical value (reach continuous random number value).

The reach continuation random number value acquired here is compared with a predetermined reach continuation determination value by the reach continuation random number determination means 1308 to determine whether or not the reach continuation is to be performed. The determination result is stored in the storage unit 1
After being uniquely associated with the jackpot random number value and jackpot symbol random number value read from the random number storage means of 305, they are used as control data of display contents when starting the display game.

When the jackpot random number value read this time matches any jackpot determination value in the preset determination criteria, according to the jackpot symbol random number value paired with the random number value. , The display mode that is the final display result of the display game is determined. In addition, depending on whether the reach continuation random number value matches the reach continuation determination value, it is divided into cases, and a variable display used for the display game of this time is selected from a plurality of types of variation patterns that are predetermined corresponding to each case. The fluctuation pattern is selected by random number processing.

When the big hit random number value is not the big hit determination value, the display mode of the display result is selected so as not to be the special stop result mode, and the variation pattern leading to it is selected. More specifically, the relationship between the left symbol and the right symbol (whether or not the reach mode) and the relationship between the middle symbol and the left and right symbols (when the reach mode and the middle symbol and the left and right symbols match) The middle symbol is changed to a different one from the left and right symbols by random number processing), and the case is further divided by whether the reach continuation random number value matches the reach continuation determination value.

Here, regardless of whether or not the jackpot random number value is the jackpot determination value, when the reach continuation random number value matches the reach continuation determination value, the variation pattern in which the display game starts from the reach mode 1312 is To be selected. On the other hand, when the reach continuation random number value does not match the reach continuation determination value, the variation pattern in which the display game starts from the initial screen (initial mode) 1311 is selected. The display game is executed based on the stop mode and the variation pattern thus determined.

If the reach continuation random number value matches the reach continuation judgment value, the display game this time will be started from the reach mode, but if the previous display game was also started from the reach mode, each display game is started. Therefore, the case of starting from the reach mode continues for a plurality of times.

When the display game started from the reach mode continues in this way, the continuation number counting means 1309a sequentially counts the continuation number. The counted number of continuations is stored in the number of continuations storage means of the storage unit 1305, and when the special jackpot random number value matches the jackpot determination value and the special stop result mode is displayed, the special game state is produced based on this. It is referred to at any time when opening and closing the special winning opening 24.

However, even if the display game is started from the reach mode for a plurality of times, if the display result is confirmed to be the special stop result mode in the display game in the middle,
The number of times of continuation is reset and returned to 0, and in the display game after the next time, when starting from the reach mode continues for a plurality of times, counting is newly started.

Further, in the display game, the maximum number of continuation times (for example, 5 times) that can be continued a plurality of times when starting from the reach mode is predetermined, and when the maximum number of continuation times is reached, The number of times of continuation is reset and returned to 0, and in the display game after the next time, when starting from the reach mode continues for a plurality of times, counting is newly started. Of course, in each display game,
When the start mode is started instead of the reach mode, the number of continuations is reset to 0 at that point.

As a flow of the display game, the initial screen 131
When the jackpot 1313 is reached from 1 through the reach mode 1312, after the reach mode 1312 is passed from the initial screen 1311, the display mode may be once disadvantageous, and the jackpot 1313 may be changed after re-changing 1314. Also, from the initial screen 1311, the reach mode 1312 is passed, and then the disconnection 1315
And the reach mode 131 from the initial screen 1311
There is a case where it becomes off 1315 without passing through 2. Further, it may start from the reach mode 1312.

FIG. 14 shows an example of the flow of a display game developed on the variable display device 310. When the display game starts from the initial state, as shown in FIG. 14A, the identification information starts changing in the three display units 311 to 313 displayed on the variable display device 310.

After a while, one piece of identification information is stopped and displayed in order from any display section. In the figure (b),
The state where the identification information “7” is stopped and displayed on the left display portion 311 of the three is shown. In FIG.
And the identification information “7” is stopped and displayed on the right display portion 313 to form the reach mode.

Also, as described above, when the display game is started from the reach mode, the display game is started from the state shown in FIG. 14 (c). In this way, since the display game may start from the reach mode, it is possible to evoke the expectation and excitement of the player immediately after the start of the display game.

Thereafter, the symbol is stopped and displayed on the middle display portion 312, and as shown in FIG. 14 (d), when the result of the display game is finally decided in a special stop result mode such as "777", As a game state, the opening / closing operation of the special winning opening 24 is repeated up to a predetermined number of times. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 14 (e), when the display mode is disadvantageous, the current display game normally ends. There may be a case where the display state changes once again after the disadvantageous display mode and the special stop result mode shifts.

As described above, in the display game, in addition to the case of starting from the initial mode, there are cases of starting from the reach mode, but when the display game starts from the reach mode, the game value changing means. By 1309b, the game value that can be given when the display result of the display game is set to the special stop result mode is changed so as to be higher than the normal initial setting game value. In this way, depending on whether or not the display game is started from the reach mode, by changing the game value that can be given when the special stop result mode is determined, it is possible to enhance the interest in the entire game.

In detail, when the display game is started from the normal initial mode and the display result of the display game is set to the special stop result mode, at the time of opening / closing control of the special winning opening 24 by the main board 100, The number of continuations "0" is read from the storage unit 1305, and based on this, the special winning opening 24
As a default game value, a special game state is formed in which the game is repeatedly opened and closed up to 15 times.

On the other hand, when the display game is started from the reach mode, the storage unit 13 is controlled at the time of controlling the opening / closing of the special winning opening 24.
The number of continuations "1" is read out from 05, and by the control of the game value changing means 1309b, the special winning opening 24 is repeatedly opened and closed within a limit of 18 times, which is 3 times added to the initial setting value of 15 times. Is formed, and the game value given to the player becomes higher than the initial setting game value.

Here, the number of continuations "1" is started from the initial mode in the previous display game, but is also started from the reach mode in the previous display game in addition to the case starting from the reach mode in the current display game. However, after the number of continuations has been reset for the above-mentioned reason, the case where the display mode of this time is started from the reach mode is also included.

Further, when the display game is started from the reach mode for a plurality of times, it is given by the game value changing means 1309b when the display result is decided in the special stop result mode for each display game. It is controlled so that the game value to be obtained is gradually increased. Specifically, each time the number of continuations is incremented by one, if the display result is set to the special stop result mode for each display game, the upper limit value for opening and closing the special winning opening 24 is incremented by three times. Is set to.

That is, in the case where the display game is started from the reach mode for two times (continuation number "2"), if the special stop result mode is confirmed in the second display game, the special winning opening 24 is repeatedly opened and closed with a limit of 21 times (18 times + 3 times when the number of continuations is "1"), and when starting from the reach mode in the display game continues three times (number of continuations "3") If the special stop result mode is determined in the third display game, the special winning opening 24 is repeatedly opened and closed up to 24 times (21 times +3 times in the case of the number of continuation "2").

If the display game is started from the reach mode for four times (continuation number "4"), if the special stop result mode is confirmed in the fourth display game,
The special winning opening 24 is repeatedly opened and closed with a limit of 27 times (24 times + 3 times when the number of continuations is "3"), and when the display game is started from the reach mode, it is continued up to 5 times which is the maximum number of continuations. In the case (the number of continuations "5"), if the special stop result mode is confirmed in the fifth display game, the special winning opening 24
Opens and closes repeatedly up to 30 times (27 times + 3 times when the number of continuations is "4").

In this way, when the display game is started from the reach mode for a plurality of times, the number of execution times of each display game is sequentially counted by the continuation number counting means 1309a, and the number of execution times of each display game is calculated. Since the game value changing means 1309b increases the game value that can be given when the display result is fixed to the special stop result mode for each display game, the special stop result mode after the appearance of the reach mode. It is possible to alleviate the discouragement felt by the player when the player is not finally decided, and it is possible to increase the player's expectation when the next display game is continuously started from the reach mode.

Also, the game value changing means 1309b
When the display result of the display game is set to the special stop result mode, the game value that can be given when the display result is set to the special stop result mode in the next display game is set to the normal initial setting game value. Since it is returned, even if the display game is started from the reach mode for a number of times in succession, it is possible to prevent an infinite increase in the game value.

In the display game, the maximum value of the number of continuations that can be continued a plurality of times when it is started from the reach mode is set in advance, and when the maximum value of the number of continuations is reached, the game value changing means determines the next time. Since the game value that can be given when the display result of the display game is set to the special stop result mode is returned to the default game value, it is possible to prevent the situation where the game value is infinitely increased as described above.

In the above embodiment, when the ball wins the starting opening, the jackpot random number value is acquired and stored, and when the execution of the display game is started, the jackpot random number value is the jackpot determination value. Although it is determined whether or not it is, the control may be performed as follows as another embodiment.

That is, the random number obtaining means 1302 obtains the random number value from the random number generating means 1301 when the ball wins the starting opening 21 as described above. At this point, it is determined whether the random number value is a random number. Is determined by the random number determination means 1306. Then, the determination result is stored in the random number determination result storage means of the storage unit 1305. At this point in time, a stop symbol that constitutes the display mode of the display result of the display game is also selected, and both the determination result and the stop symbol are stored in association with each other.

At the stage of actually starting the display game, the stop symbols constituting the display mode of the determination result of the random number value acquired by the random number acquisition means 1302 and the display result of the display game are respectively determined by the random number of the storage unit 1305. The reach continuation random number acquisition means 130 is read out from the result storage means
It is preferable to process the display game after combining the determination result of the random number acquired by 4.

When the display game in which the variable display is stopped and a plurality of pieces of identification information are stopped and displayed after the display is performed and the display mode of the display result of the display game is a special stop result mode that is a combination of predetermined identification information In a gaming machine that generates a special game state in which a predetermined game value can be given to a player, a starting means for detecting a game ball, a random number generating means, and the random number when the starting means detects the game ball. A random number obtaining means for obtaining a random number value from the generating means; a random number determining means for determining whether the random number value is a hit random number at the time when the random number obtaining means obtains the random number value; and a determination result of the random number determining means. Remember Of the random number determination result storage means, the reach continuous random number generating means, the reach continuous random number acquiring means for acquiring a random number value from the reach continuous random number generating means when the display game is started, and the reach continuous random number acquiring means. And a reach continuous random number determining means for determining whether the acquired random number value is a reach continuous random number, and the display control means, when the determination result of the random number determining means is the hit random number, the display result is the special stop. The display game is executed so as to be the result mode, and when the judgment result of the random number judgment means is not the hit random number, the display game is executed so that the display result is a display mode other than the special stop result mode, and When the determination result of the reach continuation random number determination means is the reach continuation random number, the display game is started from the reach mode, and the display game is started from the reach mode. In the case of continuing a plurality of times, provided that the display result of each display game is not fixed in the special stop result mode, the continuation number counting means for sequentially counting the number of execution times of each display game, and the continuation number counting means Each time the number of executions of each display game is sequentially counted, it has a game value changing means for sequentially increasing the game value that can be given when the display result for each display game is set in the special stop result mode. And a gaming machine. 10. The game value changing means, when the display result of the display game is confirmed in the special stop result mode,
6. The game value that can be given when the display result is determined to be the special stop result mode in the next display game is returned to the normal initial setting game value.
The gaming machine described in 6, 8 or 9. 11. In the display game, a maximum number of continuation times that can be continued a plurality of times when starting from the reach mode is predetermined, and when the maximum number of continuation times is reached, the game value change The means restores the game value that can be given when the display result is determined to be the special stop result mode in the next display game, to the normal initial setting game value. 6, 8, 9 or 10
The game machine described.
