Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine represented by a pachinko gaming machine, a coin gaming machine, a slot machine, or the like. More specifically, each of the start detection means for detecting whether or not a game ball thrown into the game area has entered a predetermined start area, and the condition that the start of the game ball has been detected by the start detection means, Variation control means for performing variation control for deriving and displaying a display result after starting variation display of identification information in a variation display device capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified; and Value giving means for giving a game value that can be used for a game based on the detected entry, and when the display result of the identification information derived and displayed by the variation control means becomes a specific display result The present invention relates to a gaming machine that controls to a specific gaming state that is advantageous to the above.

  In this type of gaming machine, what is conventionally known, for example, a start detection means for detecting whether or not a game ball that has been thrown into the game area has entered a predetermined start area, Displayed after starting the variable display of identification information on a variable display device capable of variable display of a plurality of types of identification information that can each be identified on the condition that the start detecting means has detected that a game ball has entered. And a fluctuation control means for performing fluctuation control for deriving and displaying the result, and when the display result of the identification information derived and displayed by the fluctuation control means becomes a specific display result, it is possible to control to a specific gaming state advantageous to the player There is something to become.

In such a gaming machine, when a predetermined condition not related to the derivation of the specific display result is established as the display result of the variation display of the identification information (for example, the value of the random number extracted at the time of winning a prize becomes a predetermined value). , Such as a passing rate improving state (first special gaming state) in which the rate at which the game ball wins the start winning opening is improved, and a probability variation state in which the probability that the specific display result is derived as the display result of the identification information is improved. There are those controlled to two special gaming states (for example, see Patent Document 1).
JP 09-122316 A (page 7)

  However, in this conventional gaming machine, once controlled to the passage rate improved state (first special gaming state), the passage of the specified display result is derived or the predetermined number of fluctuation displays are performed. It was not controlled after the control to the rate improvement state was finished until the probability variation state (second special game state). That is, when controlled to the passage rate improved state (first special gaming state), it was not controlled to the probability variation state (second special gaming state). Therefore, when the player is controlled in the passage rate improved state (first special game state), the player cannot have any expectation for being controlled in the probability variation state (second special game state). , Was reducing the fun of gaming.

  Further, in this conventional gaming machine, the number of balls held by the player can be maintained and the number of balls held by controlling to the passing rate improved state (first special game state) and improving the winning probability at the starting winning opening. The control which suppresses that a number reduces rapidly is only performed. Thus, in spite of the passing rate improvement state (first special gaming state) different from the normal gaming state which is disadvantageous to the player, the ball will gradually decrease without increasing, so for the player Even if it is controlled to the first special gaming state in which the winning probability of the starting winning award (starting area) is increased, the expectation that the number of balls will increase cannot be obtained, and the interest of the game is reduced. There was a problem of doing it.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and its object is to derive a specific display result as a display result of identification information in the first special gaming state in which the winning probability of the starting area is increased. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine that can have both a sense of expectation that the occurrence of a second special gaming state with an increased probability and an increase in gaming media.

Game state determination means (see, for example, SA08 in FIG. 2, SC05, SC06 in FIG. 5),
When the second special gaming state determination means determines that the second special gaming state is to be controlled (for example, “Y” in SC06 in FIG. 5), the second special gaming state is controlled to the second special gaming state. And a second special gaming state control means (for example, see SA12 in FIG. 2, SC08 in FIG. 5 and the like).

  According to the above-described configuration, the game value given by the value granting unit per unit time when being controlled to the first special game state is equal to or greater than the number of game balls to be thrown into the game area. A plurality of entry ratios are set, and a determination as to which entry ratio is to be made out of the set entry ratios can be made so as to give a sense of expectation for an increase in game media. In addition, even when being controlled to the first special gaming state, since it is determined whether to control to the second special gaming state, there is a sense of expectation that it may be controlled to the second special gaming state. Can hold and improve the interest of the game. In addition, during the first special game state, the percentage of game balls entering the start area is high. Therefore, it is determined whether or not the game balls frequently enter the start area and are frequently controlled to the second special game state. As a result, the player can frequently have an expectation that it may be controlled to the second special gaming state.

  (2) The entry ratio determining means is configured to determine the entry ratio (for example, the special control in FIG. 7) such that the game value given by the value assigning means per unit time is less than the number of game balls to be thrown into the game area. The base 80) is further set, and it is determined which of the plurality of set approach rates including the approach rate is to be used (see, for example, S663, S665, S667, and S669 in FIG. 6). It is characterized by.

  According to the above configuration, when the first specific gaming state is set, the entry ratio such that the gaming value given by the value granting unit per unit time is less than the number of game balls put into the gaming area is further increased. Since it is set and a determination is made as to which entry ratio among a plurality of entry ratios including the entry ratio, the first special gaming state that reduces the game medium can be controlled. When one special gaming state occurs, it is possible to have a sense of expectation as to whether or not the special gaming state is to increase the game medium.

  According to the above-described configuration, a game that variably displays the probability-enhancing identification information different from the identification information that is the specific display result can be provided to the player.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. In the following embodiments, a pachinko gaming machine is shown as an example of a gaming machine, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be, for example, a coin gaming machine or a slot machine.

  FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine 1 showing an example of a gaming machine according to the present invention. In the center of the game area 7, a variable display device 8 is provided for variably displaying special symbols and state symbols, which are examples of a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified. The variable display device 8 is composed of a liquid crystal display, and a variable display unit 9a that displays a special symbol related to whether or not a big hit is displayed, and a status display that displays a state graphic related to a game state or the like in a variable manner. 9b, a probability variation lottery number notification device 9c for notifying the number of times that a probability variation lottery described later can be performed, and an addition / subtraction number lottery number notification device 9d for notifying the number of times of addition / subtraction number lottery described later. ing. The variable display unit 9a and the state display unit 9b are not limited to liquid crystal displays, but may be other image display types such as CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), FED (Field Emission Display), PDP (Plasma Display Panel), and dot matrix. You may be comprised with a display apparatus. In addition, the probability variation lottery number notification device 9c and the addition / subtraction number lottery number notification device 9d according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to an example of a light emitting body such as an LED. May be. In addition, the change display unit 9a may notify the change display of the special symbol / state symbol and the number of times of the probability change lottery / addition / subtraction lottery.

  Further, below the variable display device 8, a starting winning combination 15 having a starting winning opening (starting opening) 14 and a variable winning ball that is in an open state in which a hitting ball can be won by tilting the opening / closing plate 20. A device 19 is provided. In addition, a winning opening 24 is provided at the lower left and right of the variable display device 8. Further, a passing gate 11 into which a hit ball can enter is provided at the lower left and right of the variable display device 8.

  The variable display unit 9a and the state display unit 9b can display various types of special symbols or state symbols variably constituting identification information composed of numbers, characters other than numbers, figures, patterns, etc.・ Variable display that can display other images such as backgrounds as moving images or still images is possible. In addition to the special symbol variation display effect, the variation display unit 9a can also perform a hold storage display and a normal symbol variation display for informing the number of times of special symbol variation display. In other words, the variable display unit 9a includes a reserved storage display area (not shown) that can form a display area for lighting the reserved storage display for notifying the number of times that the variable display of the special symbol is performed, and a normal symbol. A normal variation area (not shown) for variation display is formed. In the normal variation area, normal symbols as a plurality of types of normal identification information such as graphics can be displayed in a variable manner. The normal variation area variably displays normal symbols as a plurality of types of normal identification information such as numbers that can be recognized by distinguishing them from special symbols in some form. When the display result of the variable display becomes predetermined specific identification information (for example, “◯”), it becomes “hit”, and the solenoid 16 is controlled to be excited to constitute the start winning opening 14. The pair of left and right movable pieces provided on the starting electric accessory 15 is opened once, and it becomes easy to win for a predetermined time.

  In addition, a start opening switch 17 for detecting a winning ball, which is a winning ball, is provided in the passage of the starting winning opening 14 arranged in the game area 7, and a start ball is detected by the start opening switch 17. In such a case, control for displaying the number of reserved memories is performed, and control for starting the variation display of the special symbol for each detected hit ball is performed. In the present embodiment, a random number extracted from a predetermined random counter (see FIG. 3) when the hit ball has won is stored in the storage buffer with “4” as the upper limit of the storage number.

  On the condition that the hit ball has won the start winning opening 14, the special symbol variation display is started. The variable display is performed by scrolling the special symbol from the top to the bottom in the variable display area, and the special symbol is stopped and displayed when a predetermined time elapses. The special symbol is a number from “0” to “11”. The state symbol change display in the state display unit 9b is started when the gaming state is updated or when the gaming state is drawn, and corresponds to the updated or lottery gaming state when a predetermined time elapses. The status symbol to be displayed is stopped. The state symbol is “communication” indicating the normal gaming state, “certain” indicating the probability variation state, “hour” indicating the variation time reduction state, and “+“ addition count ”indicating that the variation time reduction state is added and controlled. Etc. ”are letters / numbers that imagin the game state.

  Further, when the display result of the special symbol in the variable display area of the variable display portion 9a becomes a predetermined specific display result (for example, when a doublet such as “444” is displayed; hereinafter also referred to as a jackpot symbol). It becomes a “hit” and the game is shifted to a specific gaming state (hit). In the big hit, the opening / closing plate 20 of the variable winning ball apparatus 19 is opened to open the big winning opening, so that it is controlled to the first state advantageous to the player who is easy to win a hit ball in the big winning opening.

  Among the special jackpot symbols (for example, when odd numbers such as “111” and “555” are displayed) as the display result of the fluctuation display unit 9a, the probability variation jackpot symbols (for example, the special symbols “3” and “7” are displayed). ”Or“ 9 ”when“ Troubled ”is displayed, it becomes“ probability big hit ”, and the probability of the next big hit after the end of the probable big hit is higher than the normal gaming state (probability is 1/300). The probability variation state (second special gaming state) is further advantageous for the player. In addition, when it becomes a time and big hit symbol (for example, when a double-eyed symbol other than a probability variable symbol (0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, or 8) is displayed), it becomes “time and big hit”, and the time and big hit ends. From then on, until the display result is derived and displayed a predetermined number of times (for example, until the initial upper limit number of 100 display result is derived and displayed), the variation display unit 9a for variably displaying the special symbol and the variation display in the normal variation region are started. The time from the display time until the display result is displayed is shortened, and the variation time reduction state (first special game state) in which the short time control is performed is obtained. Further, in the probability variation state (second special game state), the variation display unit 9a that variably displays the special symbol and the time until the display result is displayed after the variation display in the normal variation region is started are shortened. Control is performed. That is, the variation time shortened state (first special game state) is specifically, the variation time of the special symbol is shortened from 5 seconds to 1 second, for example, without changing the probability of the big hit, and the variation of the normal symbol The time is reduced from 29 seconds to 1 second, for example, and the probability variation state (second special game state) is specifically the probability that the next big hit will be 1/300 after the end of the probable big hit. The change time of the special symbol is shortened from 5 seconds to 1 second, for example, and the variation time of the normal symbol is shortened from 29 seconds to 1 second, for example.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when controlled to the variable time reduction state, it is determined whether or not to update a predetermined number of times as a continuation number to be continued in the controlled variable time reduction state. It is possible to perform a lottery lottery or a probability variation lottery for determining whether or not to control to a probability variation state, and control to a gaming state based on these lottery results. That is, on the condition that the hitting ball has won the start winning opening 14 when the variation time shortening state is controlled, when the extracted random number is a predetermined value, the probability variation lottery number notification device 9c or the addition / subtraction number lottery number notification Based on the number of times notified by the device 9d, the probability variation lottery or the addition / subtraction number lottery is performed. Further, when the variation time reduction state is controlled, control is performed to adjust the winning rate to the starter electric accessory 15 so as to become the determined special control base. This will be described in detail later.

  FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram for explaining functions of a part of the configuration of the control circuit in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  The pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment includes a game control means of SA01 configured by a game control microcomputer that determines a game state controlled from a plurality of game states and controls the progress of the game, and a start winning opening 14 The start detection means of SA24 configured by the start opening switch 17 for detecting the hit ball that won a prize, the probability variation lottery notification device 9c for notifying the number of times that the probability variation lottery or the addition / subtraction lottery can be performed, and the number of addition / subtraction lottery notifications It is composed of SA25 frequency notifying means constituted by the device 9d, and an effect control microcomputer for controlling the display of special symbols and state symbols on the basis of the game state determined by the game control means of SA01 and the progress of the game. The RGB signal generated by the SA26 effect control means and the SA26 effect control means. On the basis of the above, at least a variation display device of SA27 composed of a variation display unit 9a that variably displays special symbols and a special variation display device of SA28 composed of a state display unit 9b that variably displays state symbols are mounted. Yes.

  The game control microcomputer according to the present embodiment performs a control operation according to a ROM that is an example of a storage unit that stores a game control program and the like, a RAM that is an example of a storage unit that is used as a work memory, and a control program. This is a game control microcomputer including a CPU and an I / O port section which is a terminal capable of inputting and outputting information. This game control microcomputer receives signals from various connected switches (including the aforementioned gate switch 12, start port switch 17, V count switch 23, count switch 22, winning port switch 24a, etc.) and is connected. A control command for driving the device to be controlled is transmitted to an effect control microcomputer or the like, and control for driving the device to be controlled can be performed according to the control command.

  The effect control microcomputer, like the game control microcomputer described above, is a ROM which is an example of a storage means for storing a program for effect control and the like, and a RAM which is an example of a storage means used as a work memory. A microcomputer for effect control including a CPU and an I / O port unit for performing a control operation according to a control program, and analyzing various control commands transmitted from the game control microcomputer according to a program stored in a ROM. The pachinko gaming machine 1 is configured to be able to perform control for driving the effect device mounted on the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  The game control means of SA01 determines the game state controlled by the game state determination means of SA02 based on the presence / absence of a detection signal transmitted when the start winning is detected by the start detection means of SA24, and specifies SA09. A function for transmitting a determination result to the gaming state control means, the normal gaming state control means of SA10, the first special gaming state control means of SA11, and the second special gaming state control means of SA12 and controlling to the determined gaming state Have

  The game state determining means of SA02 is extracted by a random number lottery means of SA03 that extracts a random value from the numerical data update means of SA04 and a random number lottery means of SA03 at the timing of receiving the detection signal input from the start detection means of SA24. SA05 specific game state determination means for determining a game state to be controlled based on the extracted random number value data, SA06 normal game state determination means, SA07 first special game state determination means, and SA08 second special game It is equipped with state determination means. As described above, the gaming state in the present embodiment is determined as a specific gaming state or a normal state as a big hit by any of the gaming state control means of SA09 to SA12 based on the determination result determined by the gaming state determination means of SA02. The normal gaming state, the second special gaming state as the probability variation state, and the first special gaming state as the variation time reduction state are controlled. In this embodiment, when the game state is controlled to the specific game state by the SA09 specific game state control means, the big hit flag is set, and the game state is controlled with priority over the game state flag. Further, when the big hit flag is set, a control signal indicating that fact is transmitted to the remaining number specifying means of SA18 so that the remaining number up to the upper limit number can be specified. As a result, it is possible to prevent unfairness that may occur due to the big hit time that is generated when the variation time reduction state is controlled.

  The game control means of SA01 in the present embodiment is further determined by the second special game state determination means of SA08 as a probability variation lottery based on the extracted random number value data extracted by the random number lottery means of SA03, Accumulation of SA14 configured by a determination unit of SA13 that determines whether or not the determination by the update number determination unit of SA15 is performed, and a RAM that stores the number of times (number of determinations can be made) based on the determination result by the determination unit of SA13 Whether to determine the number of times to update the number of continuations for controlling to the first special gaming state based on the storage means and the cumulative number stored in the cumulative storage means of SA14, and the number of updates of SA15 for determining the number of times Determining means, and the remaining number of times of SA18 that specifies the remaining number of times up to the upper limit number when controlled to a specific gaming state. And the number of times determined by the SA15 update number determination means or the number of times specified by the SA18 remaining number specifying means, and the upper limit number (including the already updated upper limit number, the same applies hereinafter) is updated. Control for controlling to the first special gaming state based on the counting result of the SA20 counting means, the counting means of the SA20 counting means for counting the number of times the display result of the variation display of the special symbol is derived and displayed up to the upper limit number of times It is equipped with SA21 continuous control means for transmitting signals.

  When the SA18 remaining number specifying means receives the control signal from the SA09 specific gaming state control means, it obtains the counting result from the SA20 counting means and transmits it to the SA19 continuous number updating means. The SA19 continuation number updating means updates the remaining number of times up to the upper limit number to a future upper limit number. Further, the first special gaming state control means of SA11 described above can be controlled to the first special gaming state for the number of continuations controlled by the continuation control means of SA21.

  Further, the first specific gaming state determination means SA07 determines whether or not the display result of the fluctuation display unit 9a becomes the above-mentioned time-short hit symbol based on the extracted random number value data from the random number extraction means SA03. It is determined whether or not to enter a shortened state (first special game state). The determination result (including the type of symbol for the time and college bonus) is given not only to the first special gaming state control means SA11 but also to the entry ratio determination means SA30. The approach rate determination means SA30 determines a special control base value based on the type of symbol of time and bonus included in the given data.

  The special control base means that the number of game balls X to be launched into the game area and the start winning opening 14 are paid out when the game state is in a state where the variation time is shortened (first special game state). It is a term that means a ratio with the number of game balls Y. Specifically, the special control base is calculated by, for example, an equation of [(number of game balls Y per unit time / number of game balls X per unit time) · 100]. Therefore, when the special control base is controlled to the first special game state having a value exceeding 100, the player's possession ball increases as the game progresses, and the special control base is less than 100. When the value is controlled to be the first special game state, the player's possession will decrease as the game progresses.

  Specifically, when the special control base = 100, the number X of game balls launched into the game area per unit time is equal to the number Y of game balls Y that is won and paid out at the start winning opening 14. In the case of special control base = 50, when X game balls are launched into the game area per unit time, (X / 2) This means that various settings are made so that game balls are paid out. When the special control base is 200, X game balls are launched into the game area per unit time. This means that various settings are made so that 2X game balls are paid out by winning at the start winning opening 14.

  In the present embodiment, the special control base is determined in accordance with the type of symbol of time and big hit. Specifically, referring to FIG. 7 showing the special control base table stored in the ROM of the game control microcomputer constituting the game control means SA01, the entry ratio determining means SA30 has a left middle right pattern. In the case of “0, 0, 0”, the short and big hit symbol (first special control generation symbol) is determined as a special control base 80 (meaning special control base = 80; the same applies hereinafter), and the left middle right symbol is “1”. , 1, 1 ”or“ 2, 2, 2 ”, the special control base 100 is selected, and the left middle right symbol is“ 4, 4, 4 ”or“ 5, 5, 5 ”. If it is a big hit symbol, the special control base 150 is determined. If the left middle right symbol is “6, 6, 6” or “8, 8, 8”, the special control base 200 is determined. A command for specifying the determined value of the special control base is included in the special variation command described above, and is transmitted from the game control means SA01 to the effect control means SA26. The effect control means SA26 performs control to display the base value specified according to the transmitted command on the special fluctuation display device SA28. Specifically, the contents to be displayed are “base 80”, “base 100”, “base 150”, “base 200”, and the like. As another method, the player's degree of advantage (the magnitude of the base value specified according to the command) may be displayed by an indicator or the like.

  The determined special control base value is also given to the first special gaming state control means SA11. The first special gaming state control means SA11 controls the solenoid 16 according to the given special control base value to control the opening of the starting electric accessory 15. This will be described later.

  The game control means of SA01 in the present embodiment further includes a fluctuation control means of SA22 for controlling the fluctuation display of special symbols based on various determination results determined by the game state determination means of SA02, and a game state of SA02. A special variation control means of SA23 for variably displaying the state symbol based on the game state determination result determined by the determination means is mounted. Specifically, in the variation control means in SA22, the display result of the variation display performed in the variation display section 9a becomes a combination of jackpot symbols when the game state determination means in SA02 determines to control to the specific gaming state. In this way, it has a function of setting a variable display control command for variable display and transmitting it to the effect control microcomputer. Further, when the special change control means of SA23 is determined to be controlled to the probability change state by the game state determination means of SA02, the display result of the change display performed in the state display section 9b is controlled to the probability change state. A state display control command for variably displaying so as to indicate a state pattern indicating “success”, and transmitting it to the effect control microcomputer.

  It should be noted that the special variation control means of SA23 has “communication state” as a corresponding state pattern depending on whether the gaming state determined by the gaming state determination means of SA02 is a normal gaming state, a specific gaming state, or a variation time shortening state. The status display control command is set and transmitted so that “”, “present”, and “time” are derived and displayed. Further, the special variation control means in SA23 is a state symbol corresponding to the number of times updated (added / subtracted) by the continuous number update means in SA19 (for example, “+100” when added 100 times, and when subtracted 50 times). The state display control command is set and transmitted such that “−50” or the like is derived and displayed.

  Further, the game control means SA01 determines the number of winning balls to be paid out according to the winning location when a winning ball is generated. For example, the number of winning balls is determined to be 5 for winning at the start winning opening 14 and 15 for winning other than the winning opening or the variable winning ball apparatus 19. A prize ball number command designating the determined number of prize balls is given to the prize ball payout control means SA32, and prize balls are awarded by the number designated by the prize ball number command given by the prize ball payout control means SA32. Control is performed to pay out from the ball payout device SA33.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining various random counters constituting the numerical data updating means of SA04 of FIG. 2 used for game control. FIG. 3 shows seven types of random counters: a random counter R1, a random counter R2, a random counter R3, a random counter R4, a random counter R5, a random counter R6, and a random counter R7.

  The random counter R1 uses a random number used for determining whether or not the display result of the special symbol variation display resulting from the reserved storage is to be the specific display result, that is, whether or not the jackpot is a big win. A jackpot determination random counter for extracting at times. When the extracted random number is a predetermined value (for example, “7”, etc.), a determination is made that the jackpot is a big hit.

  When the random number extracted from the random counter R1 is a predetermined value which is a big hit, the random counter R2 extracts a random number used for determining the display result of the special symbol variation display resulting from the reserved storage at the time of starting winning This is a jackpot symbol determination random counter for the purpose. When the extracted random number is an odd number of “3”, “7”, “11”, it is determined to be a probable big hit, and when it is “1”, “5”, “9”, it is decided to make a short-term big hit. The random counter R1 and the random counter R2 described above are incremented by 1 every timer interruption (specifically, 2 msec) in the game control main process, and incremented and updated from 0 up to the upper limit 658 or 11, respectively. After the addition is updated, the addition is updated again from 0.

  The random counter R3 is a type selection random counter for selecting the type of notice / reach / variation pattern. The random counter R4 is a variation pattern to be executed from a selection table selected by a random number extracted from the random counter R3. This is a random counter for determining a variation pattern to be extracted when determining a random number to be used for determining the above.

  The random counter R5 is a cumulative storage determination random counter for extracting a random number used for determination by the determination means of SA13 in FIG. The probability variation lottery memory number or the addition / subtraction number lottery memory number is incremented by 1 according to the extracted random number value. The random counter R5 is added and updated from 0 and updated up to 49 which is the upper limit of the random counter R5, and then updated again from 0.

  The random counter R6 is a lottery selection random counter for extracting random numbers used for selecting from a plurality of types of lotteries. Specifically, a probability variation lottery for lottering whether to control to a probability variation state, or an addition / subtraction lottery for lottery of the number of times to be added to or subtracted from the upper limit number as the number of continuations of the currently controlled variation time reduction state It is a random counter used for selection. The random counter R6 is added and updated from 0 and updated up to 99, which is the upper limit of each, and then updated again from 0.

  The random counter R7 is a lottery execution random counter for extracting a random number used for the selected lottery. Specifically, it is a random counter used for execution of a probability variation lottery or an addition / subtraction lottery. The random counter R7 is added and updated from 0 and updated up to 19 which is the respective upper limit, and then added and updated again from 0.

  The random counter R3 to the random counter R7 described above are added and updated at each timer interrupt (specifically, 2 msec) of the game control main process and by using a value corresponding to the value extracted from the refresh register for the interrupt process surplus time. Is done. Here, the refresh register is a hard random number that is added and updated at a very high speed. For example, the refresh register is a random number for extracting values to be used for the addition processing of each of the random counter R3 to the random counter R7 from the hard random number. is there. Therefore, since the addition values of the random counter R3 to the random counter R7 can be changed every time, the randomness can be further improved.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining a winning confirmation processing program executed every 2 msec by the game control means of SA01 of FIG.

  First, in SB01, it is determined whether or not there has been a start winning. When it is determined that there has been a starting winning, whether or not the upper limit number “4” set as the reserved storage in SB02 has been reached. Is determined. When the upper limit of the reserved memory is not reached, a process of adding 1 to the current reserved memory number is performed in SB03, and a process of extracting random numbers from the random counter R1 to the random counter R5 is performed in SB04. Note that the winning confirmation process is terminated when it is determined in SB01 that there is no starting prize or in SB02 that it has reached “4”.

  In SB05, it is determined whether or not the value of the random number extracted from the random counter R5 in SB04 is “1”, and if it is determined that it is “1”, the maximum number of probability variable lottery storage is determined in SB06. It is determined whether or not the set “10” has been reached. When it is determined that “10” has not been reached, a process of adding 1 to the probability variation lottery storage number is performed in SB07.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in SB05 that it is not “1”, the process proceeds to SB08, where it is determined whether or not the value of the random number extracted from the random counter R5 is “7”. When it is determined that it is “7”, it is determined whether or not “10” set as the upper limit of the addition / subtraction number lottery storage number in SB09 is reached. When it is determined that “10” has not been reached, a process of adding 1 to the addition / subtraction lottery storage number is performed in SB10. In SB11, the random number values extracted from the random counter R1 to the random counter R4 in SB04 are stored in a reserved storage area such as a RAM.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining a game state determination processing program performed every 2 msec by the game control means of SA01 of FIG.

  First, in SC01, it is determined whether or not the game state flag set in the game control means is a “time-short flag” indicating a variable time reduction state. This “time-short flag” is set in the RAM of the game control microcomputer when the first special game state determination means SA07 determines that the variation time reduction state (first special game state) is set. Is. When it is determined in SC01 that the flag is a “short time flag”, a process of adding 1 as the number of counts corresponding to the number of times the display result of the special symbol variation display is displayed in SC02 is performed. When it is determined that the flag is not “time-short flag”, the game state determination process is terminated without performing the processes after SC02.

  In SC03, a random number is extracted from the random counter R6, and it is determined whether or not the value of the random number extracted in SC04 is “1”. When it is determined that the value of the random number extracted from the random counter R6 is “1”, in SC05, random numbers are extracted from the random counter R7 for the number of stored random variable lots, and the process of clearing all the number of stored random variable lots is performed. Done.

  In SC06, processing is performed to determine whether or not “7” is included in the random number value extracted in SC05. When it is determined that “7” is included, a process of displaying “probability” of the probability variation state symbol on the state display unit 9b for notifying the gaming state is performed in SC07. In SC08, a process of setting a “probability change flag” indicating a probability change state in the game state flag is performed.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in SC04 that it is not “1”, it is determined in SC09 whether the value of the random number extracted from the random counter R6 is “7, 8, 9”. When it is determined that it is one of “7, 8, 9”, it is determined whether or not the value of the random number extracted from the random counter R6 is “7” in SC10. When it is determined that it is neither “7, 8, 9”, the process proceeds to SC18.

  When it is determined in SC10 that the game is "7", a process of displaying "End" of the variable time reduced state end symbol on the state display unit 9b for notifying the gaming state is performed in SC20. When it is determined that it is not “7”, processing for determining whether it is “8” is performed in SC11.

  When it is determined that the value is “8”, a random number is extracted from the random counter R7 (extracted from 0 to 19) in SC15, and the number of addition / subtraction lottery storage (in the range of 0 to 10) is added to the extracted random number value. A value obtained by multiplying any number) is set as the number of subtractions, and processing for clearing all the addition / subtraction number lottery storage numbers is performed. In SC16, a process of subtracting the number of subtractions set in SC15 from the currently set upper limit number and resetting it as a future upper limit number of times is performed. In SC17, the state symbol corresponding to the number of subtractions set in SC15 ( For example, when the number of subtractions is 80, “−80” or the like) is displayed.

  When it is determined in SC11 that it is not “8”, a random number is extracted from the random counter R7 (extracted from 0 to 19) in SC12, and the number of addition / subtraction lottery storage numbers (0 to 9) is extracted from the extracted random number value. A value obtained by multiplying any number in the range) is set as the number of times of addition, and processing for clearing all the addition / subtraction number lottery storage numbers is performed. In SC13, a process of adding the number of additions set in SC12 to the currently set upper limit number and resetting it as a future upper limit number of times is performed, and in SC14, the state symbol corresponding to the number of additions set in SC12 ( For example, when the number of additions is 40, “+40” or the like) is displayed.

  In SC18, it is determined whether or not the count number added in SC02 has reached the currently set upper limit number. When it is determined that the upper limit number has been reached, the “normal flag” indicating the normal gaming state is set as the gaming state flag at SC19, and all the counts stored in addition are cleared. On the other hand, when it is determined that the upper limit number has not been reached, the gaming state determination process is terminated. In the present embodiment, the example in which the addition method is used to determine whether or not the upper limit number controlled to the variable time reduction state has been reached has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and SC02 subtracts 1 from the upper limit number. A subtraction method may be employed in which the determination is made based on whether or not the value subtracted in SC18 has reached “0”.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the start-up electric accessory process. In S661, it is determined whether or not the gaming state flag is a time reduction flag. If it is not a time reduction flag, the process proceeds to S662, and the starting electric accessory 15 is controlled to be opened only once for 0.2 seconds. Is done. On the other hand, if the gaming state flag is a time reduction flag, the process proceeds to S662a, and a process of reading the value of the special control base determined by the above-described entry ratio determining means SA30 is performed.

  Next, processing for determining the value of the special control base read in S662a is performed in S663, S665, S667, and S669. When the read special control base is “80”, a determination of YES is made in S663, and the process proceeds to S664, where control for opening the starter electric accessory 15 once for 1 second is performed. When the determined special control base is “100”, the control proceeds to S666, and the starting electric accessory 15 is opened only once for 1.5 seconds. When the determined special control base is “150”, the control advances to S668, and the starting electric accessory 15 is controlled to be opened only once for 2 seconds. When the determined special control base is “200”, the control proceeds to S670, where the starting electric accessory 15 is opened for 2 seconds and then opened again for 2 seconds after a closing period of 3 seconds. That is, the opening time of the starter electric accessory 15 corresponding to the special control base (80, 100, 150, 200) is set.

  FIG. 8 is a functional block diagram showing another embodiment. In the above-described embodiment, the probability variation state (second special gaming state) is entered according to the display result of the special symbol. In this alternative embodiment, the big hit is made according to the display result of the special symbol. In the case of a big hit, after the special symbol display result to be the big hit is derived and displayed (immediately after being displayed and when the big hit game based on the big hit display result has ended) In other words, a lottery display (in FIG. 8, a lottery display by roulette) is performed to determine whether or not to enter the probability variation state (second special game state).

  Specifically, after the special symbol display result that is a big hit is derived and displayed, the probability variation display control means SD02 determines the probability based on the determination result of whether or not the second special gaming state determination means SA07 makes the probability variation state. Display control of the variable display device SD01. First, the fluctuation display control means SD02 rotates and displays the roulette by the probability fluctuation display device SD01, and performs a lottery display by roulette as to whether or not to enter the probability fluctuation state. Next, if the determination result of the second special gaming state determination means SA07 is the content to change into the probability fluctuation state, the roulette is entered to stop display, while the determination result of the second special gaming state determination means SA07 If the content indicates that the state does not change to the probability variation state, the roulette is not entered and stopped and displayed. Thereafter, control is performed as to whether or not to change the probability variation state as a result of the lottery display by the roulette. In addition, you may comprise this probability fluctuation display apparatus SD01 by the fluctuation | variation display part 9a.

  Next, main effects obtained by this embodiment will be described together.

  As described above, when it is determined in SC01 in FIG. 5 that the gaming state is the state in which the variation time is shortened, the probability variation lottery by SC05 and SC06 and the random number lottery of SC12 to SC20 are performed, and the lottery result Based on the above, it is possible to have a sense of expectation that an additional control of the number of times that the probability variation state that is more advantageous for the player and the currently controlled variation time reduction state are continued may be performed. Can be improved.

  As described above, when “Y” is determined in SB05 or SB08 in FIG. 4, the number of times of performing the above-described probability variation lottery or addition / subtraction lottery is added and stored in SB07 or SB10, and “SC04” in FIG. When “Y” is determined, or when “Y” is determined in SC09 and “N” is determined in SC10, a probability variation lottery or an addition / subtraction lottery is performed based on the cumulative number of times stored. Can do. Further, the accumulatively stored random change lottery storage number and the addition / subtraction number lottery storage number can be notified by the probability change lottery number notification device 9c and the addition / subtraction number lottery number notification device 9d. As a result, in proportion to the number of times stored cumulatively, the player may be controlled in the probability variation state, or the expectation that the number of continuations in which the variation time reduction state is continued may be added. Can improve the interest of the game.

  As described above, based on the determination of “Y” in SC10 of FIG. 5, the normal game state is controlled in SC19, so that the variation time shortening state advantageous to the player is not always continued. Thus, it is possible to keep the balance of profits obtained by the player and the game hall side constant, and to prevent the situation from being extremely advantageous or disadvantageous for either one. Furthermore, since the player can proceed with the game with a sense of tension that may be controlled in the normal gaming state even when the player is controlled in the variable time reduction state, the interest of the game is improved. Can do.

  As described above, once the “time reduction flag” is set as the gaming state flag, the variation time reduction state is continued until the “probability change flag” is set in SC08 or the “normal flag” is set in SC19. The Therefore, even when a big hit occurs when the control is in the variation time shortening state, the game state flag is not changed due to the occurrence of the big hit, and after the big hit is finished, FIG. In SC02, the number of times the display result of the variable display is derived and displayed is continuously counted up, and in SC18 it is determined that the count number has reached the set upper limit number. The variable time reduction state is continued until "" is set. For example, even if a big hit occurs immediately after being controlled to the fluctuation time shortening state, it continues until the display result of the remaining fluctuation display is derived and displayed after the big hit ends. As a result, it is possible to prevent unfairness that may occur due to the big hit time that is generated when the variation time reduction state is controlled.

  As described above, in SC07, SC14, SC17, and SC20 in FIG. 5, the state symbol corresponding to the gaming state based on the lottery result by the above-described probability variation lottery or addition / subtraction lottery can be derived and displayed on the state display unit 9b. As a result, the gaming state to be controlled from now on (for example, control to the probability variation state, addition of the number of continuations of the variation time reduction state, and subtraction control) can be notified. The player can be entertained visually, and the fun of the game can be improved.

  As described above, when “N” is determined in SC10 of FIG. 5, either the addition number lottery by SC12 to SC14 or the subtraction number lottery of SC15 to SC17 is performed. While you can have a sense of expectation that the number of times that the time shortening state will continue may be added, you can proceed with the game with a sense of tension that may be subtracted. Can be improved.

  As described above, when the random number value extracted from the random counter R2 is the predetermined value “7”, the random number value extracted from the random counter R2 is “3, 7, 11” among the odd numbers. Then, a decision is made to derive and display the probable big hit symbol and control it to the probability variation state, and when it is “1, 5, 9”, the decision is made to derive and display the short and large bonus symbol and control it to the variation time reduction state. As a result, in addition to the profits obtained by the big hit, it is possible to give a sense of expectation that the game may be controlled in a probability fluctuation state or a fluctuation time reduction state, and further, it is possible to improve the interest of the game. . In addition, when it is determined to control to the variation time shortening state, the upper limit number of times as the continuation number may be determined at random. For example, you may make it comprise the continuation number determination means which determines an upper limit frequency | count based on the determination result by the 1st special game state determination means of SA07 of FIG.

  As described above, when the game state is in the variation time shortened state (first special game state), as described with reference to FIG. The decision as to whether or not to control the probability variation state (second special gaming state) will be made, and it is possible to frequently give the player a sense of expectation that it may be controlled to the second special gaming state. . On the other hand, in the first special gaming state, the period for controlling the starting electric accessory 15 to the first state (open state) is determined so that the base is less than 100 (80 in the present embodiment). As a result, not only when the number of balls increases but also when it decreases, the player's tension and expectation regarding the determination of the first special gaming state is improved, and a thrilling game is provided. be able to.

  Further, since the value of the determined special gaming state base is notified by the special fluctuation display device SA28, the player can know the determined contents of the base and further improve the expectation for the first special gaming state. Can be made. In addition, you may display the value of the determined special gaming state base by the state display part 9b.

  Further, as described above, since the winning probabilities for the starting electric combination 15 are made different by changing the opening time and the number of opening times of the starting electric combination 15, the starting electric combination 15 can be changed. It is possible to generate a plurality of types of first special game states in which the opening operation mode of the starting electric accessory 15 is different without providing a new device or circuit for increasing the winning probability.

  Next, modifications and feature points of the embodiment described above are listed below.

  (1) In the above-described embodiment, the probability variation lottery or the addition / subtraction number lottery is performed in SC05 or SC12 in FIG. 5 based on the number of probability variation lottery storage or addition / subtraction number lottery storage stored in SB07 or SB10 in FIG. Although an example of performing is described, the present invention is not limited to this, and whenever it is determined in SB01 in FIG. 4 that a start prize has been made, a chance variation lottery or an addition number lottery is performed in SC05 or SC12 in FIG. Also good. Specifically, the steps surrounded by the dotted lines in FIGS. 4 and 5 may be deleted, and the processing after SC05 or the processing after SC12 may always be performed after the processing of SC02 in FIG. 5 is performed. . Further, not only the addition number lottery but also the addition / subtraction number lottery or the end lottery may be performed. For example, after the process of SC02 in FIG. 5 is performed, the process after SC05 or the process after SC10 may always be performed.

  (2) In the above-described embodiment, when a big hit occurs when the variable time reduction state is controlled, the difference between the number of counts counted in SC02 of FIG. 5 and the upper limit number is shown in FIG. The example of specifying the remaining number of times in SA18 and updating the upper limit number in SA19 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and even when controlled to the probability variation state when the variation time reduction state is controlled. The same processing may be performed so that the variation time reduction state is controlled up to the upper limit number of times updated after the probability variation state ends.

  (3) In the above-described embodiment, the case where the player can play the game ball directly as the pachinko gaming machine 1 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the inside of the pachinko gaming machine 1 It may be of the type that the pachinko ball enclosed in is circulated and used for games. In this case, when a winning occurs, a score is given instead of awarding a prize ball (prize ball), and a ball is launched using the score to play a game, and the score accumulated during the game is finished. Sometimes recorded on a recording medium and paid out to the player.

  (4) A character representing the size of the special control base may be displayed. For example, a character A (for example, a dinosaur) may be displayed when the special control base 200 is used, and a character B (for example, a dinosaur child) may be displayed when the special control base 150 is used. Furthermore, it is good also as a structure which alert | reports the special control base of the produced | generated special game state by an audio | voice or a light-emitting body. In other words, the player may be informed of what kind of first special gaming state is occurring depending on the sound output mode from the speaker 27 and the flashing mode of the lamp / LED.

  (5) In the above-described embodiment, it is determined that the first special game state is determined when the stop symbol of the special symbol is a short-time big hit symbol. However, the number of times the special symbol fluctuates is the previous big hit game. When a predetermined number of times (for example, 500 times) is reached from when the game ends, the first special gaming state may be determined. In this case, the special control base may be determined by lottery using a random number or the like. According to such a configuration, it becomes possible to perform relieving control of the player who is moving away from the big hit.

  (6) In the above-described embodiment, the game control base is adjusted by changing the starting time and the number of opening times of the starting electric accessory 15 to change the starting winning probability. The game control base may be adjusted by changing the rate of shortening the fluctuation time of the game, changing the probability of hitting the normal symbol, or changing the number of game balls to be paid out when winning the start. In addition, the opening time of the starting electric accessory 15, the number of opening of the starting electric accessory 15, the shortening rate of the variation time of the normal symbol, the probability of hitting the normal symbol, and the number of game balls to be paid out when winning the start Of these, any one or any combination may be adopted to adjust the game control base.

  (7) In the above-described embodiment, the end condition of the first special game state is set until the number of times the normal symbol fluctuates reaches the predetermined number. However, the end condition may be set until the big hit occurs. Alternatively, it may be included in a plurality of types of end conditions. Further, although not particularly mentioned in the above-described embodiment, when the end condition of the first special gaming state is until the number of changes of the normal symbol reaches the predetermined number of times, before the end condition is satisfied When a big hit occurs, the first special game state may be ended at that time, or the remaining number of changes may be after the big hit game ends. Further, not only the remaining number of fluctuations but also the number of fluctuations may be counted from the beginning after the end of the big hit game, and then the first special control state may be maintained until a predetermined number of times is reached.

  When a new first special game state occurs due to a big hit that occurs before the predetermined number of times that the number of fluctuations is set as the end condition, (a) the first special game in which the end condition is not satisfied The state may be completely ended, or (b) the first special gaming state that was generated first is maintained until the remaining number of fluctuations is reached after the big hit game is ended, and the first special gaming state is ended. You may make it transfer to the 1st special game state newly produced | generated later, (c) The 1st special game produced | generated previously on the special control base of the 1st special game state newly produced | generated after jackpot game completion The number of changes obtained by adding the remaining number of changes in the state and the number of changes as the end condition of the first special gaming state newly generated may be used as the number of changes as the end condition.

  Specifically, a big hit occurs when there are 10 remaining fluctuation counts until the end condition for the first special gaming state X of the special control base 100 is satisfied, and the end condition is newly changed in the special control base 150. The case where it is determined to be the first special gaming state Y 50 times will be described. In (a), the special game state X is ended, and after the big hit game is ended, the state shifts to the first special game state Y. In (b), after the big hit game is over, the first special game state X is maintained until the fluctuation of the normal symbol 10 times, and then the first special game state Y is shifted to. In (c), after the big hit game is over, the special condition base 150 (the special control base of the first special game state Y) has a new condition of the termination condition of 60 times (the remaining number of times is 10). (The value obtained by adding 50 times) is shifted to the first special gaming state Z.

  (8) As an example of the “first special gaming state”, the above-described embodiment has shown the reduced variation time state, but instead of or in addition to this, the opening period and the number of opening times of the starting variable winning device 15 It may be in an open extended state with improved or a normal symbol high probability state in which the probability of hitting a normal symbol is improved.

  (9) The embodiment disclosed this time should be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
