Description

[0001]
[Technical field to which the invention belongs]
The present invention relates to a ball game machine such as a pachinko game machine and a simulation game program thereof. Typically, amusement machines that are used for business operations such as pachinko shops in Article 2, Paragraph 1, Item 7 of the Act on Regulation of Customs Business and Optimization of Business, etc. The present invention relates to new and second-hand goods that have been specified for users, and a simulation game program for executing these simulation games on a personal computer or a game machine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
This type of gaming machine activates a jackpot lottery in response to a prize at the starting port on the game board in order to stimulate the player's gambling moderately, and displays a plurality of symbols on a symbol display device such as a liquid crystal display. The result of the jackpot lottery is derived by varying the variation stop mode, and when the jackpot is generated by, for example, three sets of left, middle, and right symbols, a big winning opening called an attacker is set in a predetermined mode, for example, a maximum of 30 rounds. It opens for a period of up to 10 seconds, and it is opened in a manner such as repeating up to 15 rounds by passing the ball to a specific area (V winning) during that time, so that about 2000 winning balls can be expected to be paid out. .
[0003]
And if the jackpot symbol is a probabilistic symbol, for example, an odd number of three symbols, the probability of increasing the next jackpot winning probability to about 5 times, for example, from 1/325 to 1/65, etc. By shifting to floating games and winning big hits with probabilistic symbols, you can expect jackpots.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, conventional gaming machines can only give one pattern of gameplay that is only interested in winning the big prize opening during a big hit, and in the probability variation game, the next big hit will be as long as it wins with a probabilistic variation. Until then, the high probability state was continued. For this reason, the overall change in the game was poor, and there was little room for players to intervene in technology, lacking thrill and excitement.
[0005]
An object of the present invention is to provide room for a player to be able to intervene during a jackpot, and to provide a new game with an unprecedented interest.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The invention according to claim 1 activates the jackpot lottery in response to a winning at the start opening, derives the result of the jackpot lottery according to the pattern variation stop mode on the symbol display device, and when the jackpot occurs, In the bullet ball game machine that releases the jackpot in a predetermined manner, the jackpot medium start winning number recording means for cumulatively recording the number of winnings to the start opening generated during the jackpot occurrence, and according to the recorded value of the recording means Probability change execution number determination means for determining the number of executions of the probability variation game in which the subsequent jackpot winning probability is higher than usual is provided. It should be noted that those whose probability is varied only for a specific symbol such as an odd symbol are also included in the scope of this case as long as the number of executions of the probability variation game is determined according to the number of start winning prizes.
[0007]
Because of this, during the jackpot occurrence, it is not just the prize winning to the big winning opening, but in addition to this, the more winnings to the starting opening, the more the number of later probability variation games will be executed, Players are also interested in winning a prize at the starting point. Further, since the actual profit changes due to the superiority or inferiority of the game ball launching technology, there is room for the player to intervene in technology, and unprecedented game characteristics can be imparted.
[0008]
The invention according to claim 2, in order to rescue a player who did not win the jackpot during the probability change, when the jackpot is not reached by the probability variation game, the variation time of the symbol on the symbol display device is limited to a predetermined number of times. Short-time execution means after probability change that allow a time-saving game that is shorter than usual is provided.
[0009]
As a result, even if the probability variation game is over, the digestion of the reserved balls that are waiting for the variation of the symbol is promoted by the time-reducing game with a predetermined number of times as the limit. The number of start prizes that are excluded can be reduced, and the loss of the big hit lottery can be reduced. For this reason, even if the jackpot is not reached during the probability change, it is possible to expect an early occurrence of the jackpot again by the time-saving game that is continued.
[0010]
In order to clarify the game state to the player, the invention according to claim 3 is provided with a game state notifying means for notifying the state of the probability variation game and / or the state of the time-reduced game. As a result, whether it is in the player to a gaming state that is more advantageous than normal is informed, it is possible to ensure the fair, it is possible to use a measure of judgment of the stop earthenware of the game by the presence or absence of the notification.
[0011]
In order to clarify the profit state of probability variation, the invention according to claim 4 is provided with probability variation remaining number notifying means for notifying the remaining number of probability variation games. In this way, the number of starting prizes generated during the jackpot, that is, the actual profit earned, is given to the player based on the remaining number of times that is initially notified, and a satisfaction can be imparted, and the objective of how long the advantageous gaming state continues Can be informed.
[0012]
The invention according to claim 5 is provided with short time remaining number notifying means for notifying the remaining number of time-saving games in order to clarify a short time profit state. In this way, even after the probability change is completed, it is possible to objectively inform how long the advantageous gaming state due to the short time will continue.
[0013]
The invention according to claim 6 is a simulation game program that is carried on a recording medium such as a ROM cartridge, a CD-ROM, a DVD, or distributed under a network environment such as the Internet or satellite communication. Similarly, a new gameability is to be given. In other words, the jackpot lottery is activated in response to a winning at the start opening, the result of the jackpot lottery is derived by the symbol fluctuation stop mode on the symbol display device, and the jackpot opening is opened in a predetermined manner when the jackpot occurs. A simulation game program for a ball game machine, wherein a jackpot medium start winning number recording step for cumulatively recording the number of winnings at the starting port that occurs during the jackpot occurrence, and a subsequent number according to the recorded value A simulation game program for causing a computer to execute a probability variation execution number determination step for determining the number of times of execution of a probability variation game in which a jackpot winning probability is higher than usual.

[0024]
As shown in FIG. 8, in the main board MC, after the MPU operation initial setting process including initialization of all output ports, power-down error determination, CPU initialization and the like after power-on (Sa), interrupts are permitted (Sb ), A special symbol process (Sc) including a lottery process for winning a jackpot that is triggered by a winning at the start opening 24, a special symbol change and a stop process, a random symbol for determining a losing symbol, a random number for determining an effect, a random number for generating a reach Each of the random number update processing (Sd) is looped.
[0025]
As shown in FIG. 9, in the interrupt processing of the main board MC, each register is saved (Se), the big hit determination random number, the normal symbol determination random number, the big hit symbol determination random number update processing (Sf), and the timer update processing (Sg), input signal processing of each winning ball sensor (Sh), normal symbol processing (Si), decoration control processing (Sj) of effect LEDs, etc., winning ball payout processing (Sk), error processing (Sl), After a command transmission process (Sm) for transmitting a symbol variation command stored in the RAM to the sub-control device side, each register is restored (Sn), an interrupt is permitted (So), and one process is completed.
[0026]
As shown in FIG. 10, in the input signal processing (Sh in FIG. 9), a winning to the starting port 24 is determined (Sh1), and when there is a starting winning, a payout request command is stored in the RAM (Sh2). The specific game flag that is set to ON when the big hit is made is determined (Sh3), and if it is ON, the high probability counter is incremented by 1 (Sh4). The high probability counter constitutes a jackpot / medium start winning number recording means for cumulatively recording the number of winnings to the starting port that occurs during the jackpot occurrence. Next, it is determined whether or not the start winning memory has reached the upper limit of the holding ball (Sh5), and if it does not reach the upper limit and there is a vacancy, a big hit determination random number is stored in the starting winning memory area (Sh6). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not a prize is awarded to the special winning opening 25 (Sh7). If there is a prize, a payout request command is stored in the RAM (Sh8). Subsequently, the presence / absence of winning in the general winning openings 25 and 27 is determined (Sh9). If there is a winning, a payout request command is stored in the RAM (Sh10).
[0027]
As shown in FIG. 11, in the special symbol process (Sc in FIG. 8), each of the special symbol variation start process (Sp, Sq), the special symbol variation process (Sr, Ss), and the special symbol end process (St, Su). Processing is performed sequentially as necessary.
[0028]
As shown in FIG. 12, in the special symbol variation start process (Sq in FIG. 11), it is determined whether or not there is a start winning memory on the RAM (S1). If there is no starting winning memory, the previous stop symbol display and demo screen After the demo control process (S2) including the switching process, the process returns.
[0029]
When there is a start winning memory, a game state setting process (S10) for setting a game state flag as a distinction between a normal game state, a probability variation game state (probability variation game state), and a time-reduced game state (time-short game state), and each game Through a symbol variation determination process (S20, S40, S60) for determining a symbol variation pattern in the special symbol display device 7 for each state, a symbol variation command for starting the variation of each special symbol, a left symbol command for designating each stop symbol, The right symbol command and middle symbol command are stored in the RAM (S3), and the process proceeds to the special symbol changing process (S4). The command stored in the RAM is transmitted to the sub side by the command transmission process (Sm in FIG. 9) in the interrupt process.
[0030]
As shown in FIG. 13, in the gaming state setting process (S10 in FIG. 12), the value of the high probability counter is determined (S11), and if the value is not 0, the gaming state flag is set to the probability changing gaming state (S12). ). When the value of the high-probability counter is 0, the value of the time-saving counter that counts the number of executions to shorten the time is determined (S13), and when the value is not 0, the gaming state flag is set to the time-saving gaming state (S14). When the value of the time reduction counter is 0, the game state flag is set to the normal game state (S15).
[0031]
As shown in FIG. 14, when the gaming state flag is in the normal gaming state, in the symbol variation determination process (S20 in FIG. 12), a low probability table at normal time with a jackpot winning probability set to 1/315 is set ( S21). The range of the jackpot determination random number is 0 to 314, and in the low probability table, for example, only the number 7 is a jackpot.
[0032]
Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the jackpot is based on the jackpot determination random number stored in the RAM at the time of starting winning (S22), and if it is determined that it is out, the presence or absence of reach is determined based on the reach generation random number (S23). In the case of no reach, a short special symbol change time corresponding to no reach is set (S26) through a reach-less out-of-reach symbol determination process (S24) and an unreachable effect determination process (S25) (S26). In such a case, a long special symbol variation time commensurate with the reach is set through the reach / decrease symbol determination process (S27) and the reach effect determination process (S28) (S29). 3 to 6, as an example of reach production, after the start of the special symbol variation, the left and right symbols are aligned with “seven”, and reach occurs, and “chase reach” that tracks the video character “Kira” is changed to “super” This is an example of developing into “chase reach”. In case of detachment, the middle symbol is finally stopped at other than “7”.
[0033]
If it is determined that the jackpot is determined by the jackpot determination (S22), the jackpot symbols are "1" to "9", "Oishi built-in assistant", "Kira Uenosuke", After deciding to any one (S30), after determining the jackpot effect always accompanied by reach (S31), a special symbol variation time corresponding to the reach per reach effect is set (S32). In the case of a big hit, after the “super chasing reach” in FIG. 6, the middle symbol finally stops at “seven”, and a triple of “seven”-“seven”-“seven” is derived.
[0034]
As shown in FIG. 15, when the gaming state flag is in the probability variation gaming state, in the symbol variation determination process (S40 in FIG. 12), the high probability counter is decremented by 1 (S41), and the value becomes 0 (S42). Here, the time-shortage counter is set to 100, for example, which is the maximum number of times the time-short game is executed (S43). Next, a high probability table with 1/65 of the jackpot winning probability is set (S44). In the high probability table, for example, five types of numbers such as numbers 7, 67, 127, 187, and 247 are jackpots. Probability change execution number determination means is configured by steps S41 and S44 for setting a high probability table based on the high probability counter.
[0035]
Subsequently, a jackpot determination is performed based on the jackpot determination random number stored in the RAM at the time of starting winning (S45). When it is determined that the player has missed, the reachless symbol determination process (S46) and the reachless short-time effect determination process are performed. Through (S47), a special symbol variation time commensurate with the reachless short-time effect is set (S47). This reachless short-time effect derives the variation stop mode of the special symbol in a shorter time than the non-reach effect in the normal gaming state, as in the time-reduced game described later. Also, in the probabilistic gaming state, the reach effect of gusset does not appear at the time of losing, and the variation time of the special symbol is greatly shortened. Of course, gasuleach may appear at a low frequency even when it is off.
[0036]
If it is determined that the jackpot is determined by the jackpot determination (S45), the jackpot symbols are "1" to "9", "Oishi built-in assistant", "Kira Uenosuke", After deciding to one of them (S49), after determining the jackpot effect always accompanied by reach (S50), a special symbol variation time corresponding to the reach per reach effect is set (S51). In the case of deriving the jackpot, it is assumed that the time on the production is not shortened.
[0037]
As shown in FIG. 16, when the gaming state flag is in the short-time gaming state, in the symbol variation determination process (S60 in FIG. 12), the time-counter is decremented by 1 (S61), and the jackpot winning probability is 1/315. The normal low probability table is set (S62).
[0038]
Subsequently, a jackpot determination is made based on the jackpot determination random number stored in the RAM at the time of starting winning (S63). When it is determined that the player has missed, a reachless losing symbol determination process (S64), a reachless short-time effect determination process. Through (S65), a special symbol variation time commensurate with the reachless short-time effect is set (S66). This reachless short-time effect is to derive a special symbol variation stop mode in a shorter time than the reachless effect in the normal gaming state, similar to the probability variation game described above, and in the short-time gaming state, Gase's reach production does not appear at the time of departure, and the variation time of special symbols is greatly shortened. Of course, gasuleach may appear at a low frequency even when it is off.
[0039]
If it is determined that the jackpot is determined to be a jackpot (S63), the jackpot symbols are "1" to "9", "Oishi built-in assistant", "Kira Uenosuke", After determining to any one (S67) and determining the jackpot effect always with reach (S68), a special symbol change time corresponding to the reach per reach effect is set (S69). Also in this case, since the big hit is derived, the time for production is not shortened.
[0040]
As shown in FIG. 17, in the special symbol variation processing (S4 in FIG. 12), the elapse of the special symbol variation time is determined (S71), and the symbol determination command is stored in the RAM as time elapses (S72). In the case of a big hit (S73), both the high probability counter and the hourly time counter are cleared to 0 (S74), it is determined whether or not the big hit symbol is a probable variation symbol (S75), and if it is a probable variation symbol, the specific game flag is turned ON (S76). Thereafter, the number of times the special winning opening 25 is opened is cleared to 0 (S77), an opening time, for example, 30 seconds is set (S78), and a transition is made to special game processing (S79). If it is not a big hit (S73), the process proceeds to a special symbol end process (S80).
[0041]
As shown in FIG. 18, in the special game process (S79 in FIG. 17), it is determined whether or not the special winning opening 25 has reached a specified number of times, for example, 15 times in the final round (S81). It is determined whether or not there has been a prize in the V zone during any of whether the winning ball 25 reaches 10 (S82) or the opening time of the big winning hole 25 reaches 30 seconds (S83). (S84). If there is a V prize, a so-called consecutively actuating device is activated, and the opening time of the big prize opening 25 is set to 30 seconds again (S85), and the round is continued by adding 1 to the number of times of opening (S86). If there is no V prize or the final round is reached, the specific game flag is turned off (S87), and then the process proceeds to a special symbol ending process (S88).
[0042]
When the special game process is started on the main board MC, the sub-side special symbol control board SC1 performs a predetermined animation effect with the fanfare screen display at the start of the jackpot game, the progress of the round, and the like. . Similarly, the sound control board SC4 performs a predetermined sound effect. In the event that the jackpot special game expires in 15 rounds, about 20 to 30 winnings can be expected in the starting port 24 during that time.
[0043]
As shown in FIG. 19, in the special symbol ending process (S80 in FIG. 17, S88 in FIG. 18), it is determined whether or not the value of the high probability counter is 0 (S91). And the remaining number display command in which the fact that the game is a probability variation game is stored in the RAM (S92). When the value of the high probability counter is 0 (S91), it is determined whether or not the value of the time reduction counter is 0 (S93). The remaining number display command in which the effect is set is stored in the RAM (S92). And it changes to a special symbol change start process again (S94).
[0044]
When an out-of-game symbol is derived instead of a big hit in the special symbol variation processing (FIG. 17), either the remaining number of executions of the probability variation game or the remaining execution number of the time shortening game is displayed on the screen of the special symbol display device 7. Displayed along with the game status. In addition, when the jackpot game that has been won with a probability variable symbol is completed by the special game process (FIG. 18), the remaining number of executions of the probability varying game on the screen of the special symbol display device 7, that is, the cumulative number of start winnings that occurred during the jackpot Is displayed together with the game state.
[0045]
By the way, when in the probability variation gaming state, for example, the production left / middle / right LEDs 9L, 9C, 9R blink at a low speed clockwise, and when in the time reduction gaming state, the LEDs 9L, 9C, 9R rotate clockwise. The LED 9L, 9C, 9R is extinguished to notify which game state is in the normal gaming state. In addition, the LED 9L, 9C, 9R blinks in red when in the probability varying gaming state, the LED 9L, 9C, 9R blinks in green when in the time-saving gaming state, and when in the normal gaming state The LEDs 9L, 9C, 9R may be turned off.
[0046]
Note that the data such as various winning probabilities and the number of times exemplified in the above configuration is an example, and it goes without saying that the data may be changed as appropriate. Further, the special symbol display device 7 may use a mechanical reel.
[0047]
FIG. 20 shows the structure of a simulation game program having the same game specifications as the above pachinko gaming machines. It is carried on a recording medium such as a ROM cartridge, CD-ROM, DVD, or distributed under a network environment such as the Internet or satellite communication. The jackpot medium start winning number recording step ST1 for cumulatively recording the number of wins to the starting port that occurs during the jackpot generation by the same processing as in FIG. There is a probability variation execution number determination step ST2 for determining the number of executions of the probability variation game with the probability higher than normal by the same processing as in FIG.
[0048]
Then, the computer TC such as a video game controller or a personal computer is caused to execute the steps ST1 and ST2, and the entire image of the game board 2 including the screen of the special symbol display device 7 on the image monitor M of the computer TC. And a pseudo game can be enjoyed while operating an operation switch J consisting of a specific key on the keyboard or a dedicated operation button that changes to the lever 51 of the launch handle 50.
