The player throws a pachinko ball into the ball tray 11 and operates the operation handle 12 to strike the pachinko ball into the game area of the game board 13 incorporated in the pachinko machine 10. The pachinko ball that has been hit wins one of the starting winning opening 14, the normal winning opening 15, the passing winning opening 16, and the attacker (winning opening with opening and closing plate) 17, or enters the out opening 18 which is treated as a loss. The attacker 17 opens and closes the opening and closing plate until a predetermined number of prizes is reached or a predetermined time has elapsed during the big hit mode, and the attacker 17 repeats this operation a predetermined number of times. Note that structures such as nails and windmills provided in the game area are well-known and will not be described.
[0015]
When a pachinko ball wins in the start winning opening 14, the normal winning opening 15, and the attacker 17, a predetermined number of pachinko balls are paid out according to each win. Pachinko balls are paid out to the ball dish 11 from a payout port connected to the ball dish 11. When a pachinko ball wins in the passing winning opening 16, a lottery relating to the start of movement of a pair of movable pieces provided near the starting winning opening 14 is performed, and when the lottery is won, the movable piece is moved and the starting winning opening 14 is moved. Is opened wider than usual.
[0016]
The symbol display device 19 displays three lottery symbols arranged in three rows. When the pachinko ball is won in the starting winning opening 14, the symbol display device 19 is operated, and a plurality of lottery symbols are variably displayed so as to sequentially flow in each row, and then three lottery symbols are displayed. Are sequentially stopped and displayed. In the symbol display device 19, one or more lines in which three lottery symbols are combined are set as the winning line, and the lottery symbols are stopped and displayed on the winning line in a predetermined manner. When it is performed (for example, stop display by the same lottery symbol), a big hit notification is given, and at least the right to shift to the big hit mode is acquired.
[0017]
The symbol display device 19 variably displays various character symbols and animations thereof in addition to the lottery symbols. For example, when two lottery symbols are stopped on the pay line, a state before one step of a big hit announcement with the same lottery symbol is completed, that is, when reach is reached, various variations different from normal The animation effect is displayed by variably displaying the animation. In addition, such a reach effect indicates that there is a variety of variations, and three identical lottery symbols are stopped and displayed on the pay line to increase the possibility of a big hit. In addition, the lottery symbol is displayed in a fluctuating manner, thereby performing a reach effect in combination with the animation of the predetermined image.
[0018]
A movable body 20 is provided on the right side of the symbol display device 19. When the symbol on the symbol display device 19 is variably displayed, or when the display mode based on the symbol becomes a reach, the movable body 20 moves substantially vertically in the movement range set in the game area.

The movable body control unit 45 operates the stepping motor based on the stop position data obtained by the lottery in the movable body stop position determination unit 37, and moves the movable body 20 to the stop position within the moving range on the game board 13. It is moved to the stop position based on the data at a predetermined time during the variable display of the lottery symbol. It is preferable that the movement timing be linked to the display mode during the variable display, such as when the display mode reaches the reach mode.
[0029]
The lamp control unit 46 receives the output signal from the control unit 33 and performs lighting control of various lamps 53 such as an illumination lamp and a holding ball lamp provided on the game board 13 and the frame of the pachinko machine 10. . Further, the voice control unit 47 is operated at the time of variable display of a symbol, at the time of transition to a jackpot mode, during a jackpot mode, or the like. The sound control unit 47 reads sound data from the ROM 31 and outputs the read sound data as music or sound via a sound generator 54 including a speaker, a sound processor, and the like provided inside the pachinko machine 10.
[0030]
The payout control unit 48 is activated when any of the start winning ball detection sensor 39, the attacker winning ball detection sensor 40, and the normal winning ball detection sensor 41 detects that the pachinko ball has won. The payout device 55 is driven by the payout control unit 48, and the payout of the number of pachinko balls according to the type of the winning opening is performed. The paid-out pachinko balls are detected by the paid-out ball detection sensor 42, and a detection signal is input to the control unit 33. The control unit 33 counts the number of pachinko balls detected by the payout ball detection sensor 42 and monitors whether or not a prescribed number of pachinko balls have been paid out.
[0031]
The attacker control unit 49 is activated when the jackpot determination unit 35 determines to shift to the jackpot mode. The attacker control unit 49 is connected to the attacker 17, and when the attacker control unit 49 is operated, the open / close plate provided in the attacker 17 is opened and closed intermittently and is opened for a predetermined period. When the opening / closing plate provided in the attacker 17 is moved to the open position, the winning opening behind the opening / closing plate is exposed, and the control unit 33 causes the pachinko machine that wins the attacker winning ball detection sensor 40 provided in the winning opening.

[0032]
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When a pachinko ball wins in the starting winning port 14, a start signal is input from the starting winning ball detection sensor 39 to the control unit 33. The control unit 33 operates the symbol display control unit 44 and the random number extraction unit 34 in response to the start signal, and starts timing to monitor or change the display control of the symbol display control unit 44. In accordance with the winning determination based on the input of the start signal and the determined display mode, the symbol display control unit 44 starts the variable display of the animation including the lottery symbol and the predetermined symbol on the symbol display device 19. The random number extraction unit 34 extracts a random number value used for the lottery in the big hit determination unit 35 and the symbol display mode determination unit 36 based on the input timing of the start signal. Each of the extracted random numbers is temporarily stored in the RAM 32.
[0033]
When the random number value extracted by the random number extraction unit 34 is stored in the RAM 32, the big hit determination unit 35 compares the random value stored in the RAM 32 with the big hit determination table 50 stored in the ROM 31, and A combination of a lottery symbol to be determined to be a big hit and to be stopped and displayed on the pay line is determined.
[0034]
When the lottery in the jackpot determination unit 35 is completed, the symbol display mode determination unit 36 refers to the symbol data table corresponding to the result of the win determination in the jackpot determination unit 35 and stores the symbol data in the symbol data table in the RAM 32. Check the random value. As a result, data relating to a variation mode of the lottery symbol in the reach effect and a display mode such as an animation including a predetermined image to be variably displayed are determined. These display mode data are temporarily stored in the RAM 32.
[0035]
When the symbol display mode is determined by the symbol display mode determination unit 36, the movable body stop position determination unit 37 stores the stop position data of the movable body according to the reliability of the determined display mode data in the stop position data. It is read from the unit 52. The read stop position data is temporarily stored in the RAM 32. Note that the process of reading out the stop position data is preferably a conditional process that is executed when the display mode data includes data relating to a specific effect (for example, a reach effect) because monotonousness can be prevented.
[0036]
The control unit 33 reads out the symbol display mode data temporarily stored in the RAM 32 and outputs the data to the symbol display control unit 44. The symbol display control unit 44 reads the graphic data corresponding to the display mode data from the ROM 31 and controls the display of the symbol display device 19.
[0037]
When the display mode data includes data for displaying the reach effect, the symbol display device 19 stops and displays the same two lottery symbols on the pay line, and stops displaying the third lottery symbol. In the meantime, a reach effect based on the data is performed.
[0038]
When the reach effect is displayed on the symbol display device 19, the control unit 33 reads out the stop position data stored in the RAM 32 and outputs it to the movable body control unit 45. The movable body control unit 45 controls the movement of the movable body 20 to the stop position based on the stop position data. Since the stop position data indicates the big hit reliability, the player can know the possibility of the big hit depending on the stop position of the movable body 20.
[0039]
Note that the movable body 20 that has once stopped moving does not return to the lower end of the moving range that is a fixed position until the stop position readout condition for receiving the next movement control is satisfied. Thereby, for example, the history of the jackpot reliability at the time of the previous reach effect is always shown, and thus can be used as a judgment material for the game. However, control may be performed so as to return to the home position every predetermined time after the stop display or the movement of the movable body is performed by the combination of the lottery symbols.
[0040]

Further, it is also possible to install the distributed program of the present invention or the program of the present invention read from the storage medium 60 on a personal computer and play a pachinko game on a monitor.
[0042]
In the present embodiment, the jackpot reliability is shown by stopping the movement of the movable body 20 at a predetermined position as the vertical direction, but the movement of the movable body 20 is not limited to the vertical direction. In addition, the manner and speed of movement of the movable body to the stop position may be appropriately determined, for example, in accordance with the transition of the display mode on the symbol display device.
[0043]
In the present embodiment, the movable body 20 is moved at the timing when the display mode of the symbol on the symbol display device 19 reaches the reach. However, the movable body 20 may be moved at a timing other than the reach timing. The movable body 20 may be moved at a timing of a game section in which a game state advantageous to the player such as a state with a high probability is obtained.
[0044]
In the present embodiment, the stop position data is determined by lottery in the symbol display mode determination unit 36, and the stop position data is determined based on the display mode data relating to the jackpot reliability, so that the stop position data is associated with the jackpot reliability. However, a configuration other than this may be used. For example, a plurality of random number ranges including a random number value to be hit and a random number value to be lost are set in the big hit determination table 50, and a random number to be hit for each random number range is set. The winning probability is set so as to include the numerical value and the random number value at a different ratio. Then, by matching each random number range with the random number value extracted by the random number extracting unit 34 in correspondence with the stop position data, the stop position data according to the winning probability based on the result of the shift lottery is determined. In addition, the stop position data may be configured to correspond to the jackpot reliability.
