Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko machine having a movable object.

  In the conventional pachinko machine, when a pachinko ball is won at the start opening, three special symbols displayed on the display are changed, and thereafter, the change display is sequentially stopped. At this time, when three special symbols are displayed in a predetermined symbol combination, the game state shifts to a jackpot gaming state in which a series of opening / closing operations of the big prize opening is performed.

  Therefore, when the three special symbols start to change, after the two special symbols are confirmed to be stopped, it is displayed in a predetermined symbol combination depending on the result of the stop of the remaining one special symbol. When it is determined whether or not, the player has a high expectation that the player will enter the jackpot gaming state until the stop of the remaining one special symbol is confirmed.

Therefore, in the following Patent Document 1, in order to make this pachinko machine with higher expectation and improved tension and taste, a one-stage notice with a relatively low degree of reliability for shifting to the jackpot gaming state, A two-stage notice with a relatively high degree of reliability for shifting to the big hit gaming state was reported in a lighting manner of side lamps arranged on the left and right of the game board (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-231989

  However, if the side lamps arranged on the left and right sides of the game board are notified of the one-stage notice and the two-stage notice, they may be mistaken for the decoration lamps arranged on the game board. In some cases, the lighting state of the decorative lamp is misunderstood, and the first stage notice or the second stage notice is overlooked, and the player may not be able to confirm these notices.

  In addition, since the determination result of the lottery to shift to the jackpot game state is notified step by step according to the type of lighting mode (the above-mentioned one-stage notice or the above-mentioned two-stage notice), the game does not know the meaning of the type of lighting mode. The person could not understand the meaning of the notice for the judgment result, and did not improve the interest of the game.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-described points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko machine that allows a player to reliably recognize a notice of reliability with respect to a transition to a jackpot gaming state. .

  The invention according to claim 1 made to solve this problem, the symbol display means for performing a variable display to stop after changing a plurality of symbols triggered by the winning of a pachinko ball at the start opening, In a pachinko machine having a bonus granting means for developing into a jackpot gaming state as a bonus when the plurality of symbols variably displayed by the symbol display means are a predetermined combination, the movable object and the movable object are combined. Or a movable object driving means for performing an operation of moving / stopping at a plurality of stages in one variation display performed by the plurality of symbols, and the variation of the plurality of symbols by a series of movements of the movable object. It is characterized by notifying the possibility that the display will evolve into a jackpot gaming state.

  The invention according to claim 2 is the pachinko machine according to claim 1, wherein the movable object driving means is executed or not executed at the time of one variable display performed by the plurality of symbols. It is characterized by.

  That is, in the pachinko machine which is the invention according to claim 2, when one change display is performed, the movable object moves to a state where it moves / stops in one or a plurality of stages, or maintains the current state. To do. Accordingly, a series of movements of the movable object may be intermittently performed over a plurality of variable displays.

  The invention according to claim 3 is the pachinko machine according to claim 1, characterized in that the movable object driving means is executed for each variable display performed by the plurality of symbols. .

  That is, in the pachinko machine that is the invention according to claim 3, each time one change display is performed, the movable object moves to a state of moving and stopping in one or a plurality of stages. Accordingly, a series of movements of the movable object is continuously performed over a plurality of variable displays.

  The invention according to claim 4 is the pachinko machine according to any one of claims 1 to 3, comprising a symbol control board for controlling the symbol display means, wherein the symbol control board includes the symbol control board. It is also characterized by controlling the movable object driving means.

  Further, the invention according to claim 5 is the pachinko machine according to any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the movable object driving means moves / stops the movable object until a final stage. In this case, the movable object is returned to the first stage except when the plurality of symbols to be variably displayed next by the symbol display means becomes the predetermined combination.

  In other words, in the pachinko machine of the present invention, the advancement to the jackpot gaming state is foreseen by a series of movements of the movable object that operates at the time of one change display, so there is ignorance regarding the advancement. The player can also be sure to recognize the notice through the movement of the movable object.

  Moreover, in the pachinko machine of the present invention, when the symbol variation display and the operation of the movable object are controlled by the symbol control board, the noise caused between the effect of the symbol variation display and the effect of the movable object is prevented. Can do.

  In addition, in the pachinko machine of the present invention, when the movable object moves or stops to the final stage, the reliability of the advance notice regarding the possibility of developing to the big hit gaming state becomes the highest, but thereafter If the animal is brought back to the first stage, the notice can be made again. However, in the pachinko machine of the present invention, when it becomes a jackpot gaming state in the next fluctuation display, since the movable object maintains the state stopped in the final stage, it relates to the possibility of developing to the jackpot gaming state The notice with the highest degree of reliability can be continued.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 12 is a front view of the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment. The pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment is a first type of pachinko machine, and as shown in FIG. 12, a symbol display device 3 having a display 4 on a game board 2, a start port 5, The big prize opening 6 is provided. The pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment has a built-in speaker 203. That is, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when a pachinko ball wins at the start port 5, the three symbols displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 change, and thereafter the three symbols that are changing are displayed. When the combination is stopped in a predetermined combination, the big winning opening 6 is operated in a predetermined release pattern, resulting in a “hit game state”.

In this regard, the symbols displayed on the display unit 4 of the symbol display device 3 will be described. Here, the symbols are “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, Twelve types of “5”, “6”, “7”, “8”, “9”, “10”, “11”, “12” are prepared. And these 12 kinds of symbols, as shown in FIG. 14, in the left symbol display area 7 provided in the display 4 of the symbol display device 3, the middle symbol display area 8, and the right symbol display area 9, respectively. In principle, “1” → “2” → “3” → “4” → “5” → “6” → “7” → “8” → “9” → “10” → “11” → “12” → After changing in the order of “1” →..., Stop in the order of the left symbol display area 7, the middle symbol display area 8, and the right symbol display area 9.
Hereinafter, the combination of symbols stopped and displayed in the left symbol display area 7, the middle symbol display area 8, and the right symbol display area 9 is referred to as "final stop symbol".

At this time, when the symbols stopped and displayed in the left symbol display area 7, the middle symbol display area 8, and the right symbol display area 9 are all the same, for example, 12 combinations shown in FIG. Here, it is assumed that the game is stopped with a predetermined combination, and after stopping with the predetermined combination, the big winning opening 6 is operated in a predetermined release pattern, thereby becoming a “hit game state”.
Hereinafter, the 12 combinations of symbols shown in FIG. 15 are referred to as “hits”.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 16, the left symbol display area 7 and the middle symbol display area 8 are stopped and displayed at the same symbol, and the symbol displayed in the right symbol display area 9 is changing. There is a possibility that the player stops at any one of the predetermined combinations shown and shifts to the “big hit gaming state”, and at this time, the player has a sense of expectation. Therefore, a state in which the player has a sense of expectation, that is, as shown in FIG. 16, the left symbol display area 7 and the middle symbol display area 8 are stopped and displayed with the same symbol, and the right symbol display area 9 A state in which the displayed symbol is changing is called a “reach state”. In addition, the symbol combination of the state in which the left symbol display area 7 and the middle symbol display area 8 are stopped / displayed with the same symbol and the right symbol display area 9 is stopped / displayed with a different symbol is referred to as “hasle reach symbol”. It is called. Furthermore, in this “reach state”, various “reach images” are displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 in order to increase the player's expectation. Here, six types of “reach video” are prepared: normal reach, long reach, handgun reach A, handgun reach B, special reach A, and special reach B (see FIG. 11). ).

  The operation of changing / stopping the symbols displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 is determined based on the values of two counters acquired immediately after the pachinko ball wins the start opening 5. Here, whether or not to stop the three symbols displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 in a predetermined combination (shown in FIG. 15), that is, whether or not to enter the “hit game state”, It is determined on the basis of the value of one counter acquired immediately after the pachinko ball wins at the starting port 5, and for each of the three symbols displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3, “1”. , “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7”, “8”, “9”, “10”, “11”, “12”, Which number of “big hit symbol” is determined is determined based on the value of the other counter acquired immediately after the pachinko ball wins the start opening 5.

  In addition, as described above, the symbol change / stop operation displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 is triggered by the winning of a pachinko ball at the start port 5. When the symbol displayed on the display 4 of the display device 3 is fluctuating, and when a pachinko ball wins at the starting port 5, the values of the two counters acquired at the time of winning are stored and held, Immediately after the changing symbol is stopped, or when the changing symbol is stopped in a predetermined combination (shown in FIG. 15), immediately after the “big hit gaming state” is finished, it is stored / held. Based on the values of the two counters, the operation of changing / stopping the symbols displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 is started. Here, it is possible to hold up to four sets of values of the two counters stored and held.

  This point will be described in detail. In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17A, with respect to the values of the two counters acquired immediately after the pachinko ball wins the start opening 5, Five storage areas E0, E1, E2, E3, and E4 that can store and hold up to five sets are secured, and among them, four storage areas E1, E2, E3, and E4 have four holds corresponding to each. A lamp 61 is provided on the top of the symbol display device 3 (see FIG. 14). Then, when a pachinko ball wins at the start port 5, as shown in FIG. 17B, a set of counter values D0 acquired at the time of winning is stored in the storage area E0 and stored in the storage area E0. Based on the value D0 of one set of counters, the operation of changing / stopping the symbols displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 is started.

  Thereafter, when the symbol displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 is fluctuating, and when a pachinko ball wins the start opening 5, as shown in (c) of FIG. The counter value D1 is stored and held in the storage area E1, and one holding lamp 61 corresponding to the storage area E1 is turned on. In FIG. 17, the black color of the holding lamp 61 indicates lighting, and the white color indicates off. After that, when the symbol displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 is fluctuating, and when a pachinko ball wins at the start port 5, as shown in FIG. One set of counter values D2 is stored and held in the storage area E2, and one holding lamp 61 corresponding to the storage area E2 is turned on.

  After that, when the symbol displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 is fluctuating, and when a pachinko ball wins at the starting port 5, as shown in FIG. One set of counter values D3 is stored and held in the storage area E3, and one holding lamp 61 corresponding to the storage area E3 is turned on. After that, when the symbol displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 is fluctuating, and a pachinko ball wins at the start port 5, as shown in FIG. A set of counter values D4 is stored and held in the storage area E4, and one holding lamp 61 corresponding to the storage area E4 is turned on.

  After that, even if the symbol displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 is fluctuating, and even if a pachinko ball wins in the starting port 5, the five storage areas E0, E1, E2, E3, E4 Each of the counters stores a set of counter values D0, D1, D2, D3, D4, and there is no area for storing / holding a set of counter values to be acquired at the time of winning. A set of counter values is not acquired.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 17 (f), in the state where one set of counter values D0, D1, D2, D3, D4 is stored in each of the five storage areas E0, E1, E2, E3, E4.

  The operation content of the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment described above is executed by processing a flowchart described later on the main board 20 or the like.

  Next, a program executed on the main board 20 in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. The programs executed on the main board 20 include a main program that operates immediately after the power is turned on and an interrupt program that operates at regular intervals (for example, every 4 msec).

  FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a main program executed on the main board 20. The main program in FIG. 1 operates immediately after the power is turned on. When the power is turned on, first, in S11, it is determined whether or not there is a backup recovery process. If it is determined that there is a backup restoration process (S11: Yes), the process proceeds to S12, and after performing the process of restoring the backup data, the process proceeds to S13. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no backup recovery process (S11: No), the process proceeds to S13 without doing anything. In S13, counters used for determination on the main board 20, such as a symbol counter, a fluctuation pattern counter, a reach counter, a left symbol counter, a middle symbol counter, and a right symbol counter, are counted up. Furthermore, after the initial value change counter is incremented in S14, the process returns to S13, and the above-described count-up processes in S13 and S14 are repeated.

  In this regard, the symbol counter, the fluctuation pattern counter, the initial value change counter, the reach counter, the left symbol counter, the middle symbol counter, the right symbol counter, and the like are secured in the main control RAM 23 in FIG. As shown in FIG. 20, the symbol counter is an arc counter that counts up the range of “1” to “12” by “1”, and is displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3. It means “big hit symbol”. Further, as shown in FIG. 23, the left symbol counter, the middle symbol counter, and the right symbol counter are arc counters that increment the range of “1” to “12” every “1”. The combination of values means a combination of symbols other than the “hit symbol” displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 except for the 12 combinations shown in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 25, the fluctuation pattern counter is an arc counter that counts up the range of “0” to “9” every “1”. Further, as shown in FIG. 26, the initial value change counter is an arc counter that counts up the range of “0” to “359” every “1”.

  On the other hand, FIG. 2 is a flowchart of an interrupt program executed on the main board 20. The interrupt program shown in FIG. 2 operates at regular time intervals (for example, every 4 msec) after the power is turned on, and the required time from start to return is at most constant time (eg, 4 msec). It will never be exceeded. In the interrupt program of FIG. 2, first, in S21, the jackpot counter is counted up. After that, the start winning process of S22, the result notification process of S23, the jackpot game process of S24, the initial value change process of the jackpot counter of S25, the winning ball payout process of S26, and the lost symbol process of S27 are sequentially performed. However, at the time point W3 between S24 and S25, the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 37 described later is performed. After the loss symbol processing of S27, the main program S13 and S14 of FIG. 1 are repeatedly performed on the main board 20 until this interrupt program is activated next time.

  In this respect, the jackpot counter is secured in the main control RAM 23 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 26, the jackpot counter is an arc counter that counts up the range of “0” to “359” every “1”, but is secured separately from the above-described initial value change counter. Furthermore, the same value as that of the above-described initial value change counter is not taken at the same time because of its function. Here, the meaning of the value of the jackpot counter will be described. When “7” is acquired when the pachinko ball wins at the start port 5, the value of the jackpot counter of the “7” is displayed. The three symbols that are changed and stopped on the display 4 are stopped in any one of the 12 predetermined combinations shown in FIG. 15, and the big winning opening 6 operates in a predetermined release pattern. "Game state" (hereinafter referred to as "hit"). Also, in the probability variation state described later, even if any one of “3”, “5”, “7”, “11” is acquired when the pachinko ball wins the start opening 5, “big hit” is obtained. Become. The three symbols displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 shift to the “reach state” shown in FIG. 16, but after that, none of the twelve predetermined combinations shown in FIG. 15. The fact that the player does not stop and become a “hit game state” is called “losing reach”. Further, the three symbols displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 do not shift to the “reach state” shown in FIG. 16, and are not any of the 12 predetermined combinations shown in FIG. Stopping things and not becoming a “big hit gaming state” is called “complete loss”.

  Next, the start winning process (S22 in FIG. 2) of the interrupt program will be described based on the flowchart in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, first, in S31, it is determined whether or not a pachinko ball has been won at the starting port 5. This determination is made based on whether or not the start port switch 63 provided in the start port 5 has detected a pachinko ball. Here, when it is determined that the pachinko ball has not won at the starting port 5 (S31: No), the process returns to the interruption program of FIG. 2, but when it is determined that the pachinko ball has won at the starting port 5 ( In S31: Yes, the process proceeds to S32.

  In S32, it is determined whether or not the upper limit of storage, that is, whether or not the storage area E4 (see FIGS. 17 and 18) is empty. If it is determined that the storage area E4 (see FIGS. 17 and 18) is not empty (S32: Yes), the process returns to the interrupt program in FIG. 2, but the storage area E4 (see FIGS. 17 and 18). Is determined to be empty (S32: No), the process proceeds to S33. In S33, the current jackpot counter value and the current symbol counter value are acquired, and as shown in any one of (a) to (f) of FIG. After storing the value of one set of counters in any of E2, E3, and E4, the process proceeds to S37.

  In S37, it is determined whether or not there is storage, that is, whether or not one set of counter values is stored in the storage area E0 (see FIGS. 17 and 18). Here, as shown in FIG. 17A, when it is determined that the value of one set of counters is not stored in the storage area E0 (S37: No), the process returns to the interrupt program of FIG. As shown in FIGS. 17B to 17E, when it is determined that one set of counter values is stored in the storage area E0 (S37: Yes), the process proceeds to S36.

  In S36, as shown in FIGS. 17C to 17F, when one set of counter values is stored in the storage area E1, one holding lamp 61 corresponding to the storage area E1 is turned on. Or, when one set of counter values is stored in the storage area E2, one holding lamp 61 corresponding to the storage area E2 is turned on, and then one set of counter values is stored in the storage area E3. After lighting one holding lamp 61 corresponding to the storage area E3, when one set of counter values was stored in the storage area E4, one holding lamp 61 corresponding to the storage area E4 was turned on. Then, the process returns to the interrupt program of FIG.

  Next, the interrupt program result notification process (S23 in FIG. 2) will be described based on the flowchart in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, first, in S61, it is determined whether or not the three symbols displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 are changing. Here, when it is determined that the three symbols displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 are changing (S61: Yes), the process proceeds to S62, and whether or not the changing time of the symbol has ended. Determine whether. If it is determined that the symbol variation time does not end (S62: No), the program returns to the interrupt program of FIG. 2 without doing anything, but it is determined that the symbol variation time has ended. In this case (S62: Yes), the process proceeds to S63, where an instruction to stop the fluctuation of the symbol is transmitted to the display sub board 30 in FIG. 19, and then the process returns to the interrupt program in FIG.

  In S63, the memory is rewritten for the five storage areas E0, E1, E2, E3, and E4. For example, at this time, as shown in FIG. 17 (f), when a set of counter values is stored in each of the five storage areas E0, E1, E2, E3, E4, FIG. After passing through (a), as shown in FIG. 18 (b), rewriting of the storage for the five storage areas E0, E1, E2, E3, and E4 is performed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 18B, when a set of counter values is stored in each of the four storage areas E0, E1, E2, and E3, the storage area E0 is emptied. Then, as shown in (c) of FIG. 18, the rewriting of the storage for the five storage areas E0, E1, E2, E3, and E4 is performed.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 18 (c), when a set of counter values is stored in each of the three storage areas E0, E1, and E2, the storage area E0 is emptied. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 18 (d), rewriting of storage for the five storage areas E0, E1, E2, E3, and E4 is performed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 18 (d), when a pair of counter values is stored in each of the two storage areas E0 and E1, after the storage area E0 is emptied, As shown in (e) of FIG. 18, rewriting of the storage for the five storage areas E0, E1, E2, E3, and E4 is performed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 18 (e), when one set of counter values is stored in one storage area E0, the storage area E0 is emptied and then ( As shown in a), the rewriting of the memory for the five storage areas E0, E1, E2, E3, E4 is performed.

Further, in S61, when it is determined that the three symbols displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 are not changing (S61: No), the process proceeds to S64 to determine whether or not there is a memory. It is determined whether or not one set of counter values is stored in the storage area E0 (see FIGS. 17 and 18). Here, as shown in FIG. 17A, when it is determined that the value of one set of counters is not stored in the storage area E0 (S64: No), the process returns to the interrupt program of FIG. When determining that one set of counter values is stored in the storage area E0 as shown in (f) of FIG. 17 and (b) to (e) of FIG. 18 (S64: Yes), Proceed to S66.
In S64 described above, the process returns to the interrupt program of FIG. 2 even in the middle of the “big hit gaming state”.

  In S66, it is determined whether any one of the hold lamps 61 is lit. If it is determined that all the hold lamps 61 are not lit (S66: No), the process proceeds to S69 without doing anything, but it is determined that any one of the hold lamps 61 is lit. If yes (S66: Yes), the process proceeds to S67, and one of the right-side holding lamps 61 is turned off.

  That is, at this time, as shown in FIG. 18A, when all of the four holding lamps 61 are lit, as shown in FIG. 18B, it corresponds to the storage area E4. One hold lamp 61 to be turned off is turned off. At this time, when three of the four holding lamps 61 are lit as shown in FIG. 18B, the storage area E3 is stored as shown in FIG. The corresponding one holding lamp 61 is turned off. At this time, when two of the four holding lamps 61 are lit as shown in FIG. 18C, the storage area E2 is stored as shown in FIG. The corresponding one holding lamp 61 is turned off. At this time, as shown in FIG. 18D, when one of the four holding lamps 61 is lit, the storage area E1 is stored in the storage area E1, as shown in FIG. The corresponding one holding lamp 61 is turned off.

  In the next S69, it is determined whether or not the value of the jackpot counter stored in the current storage area E0 is a jackpot value.

  Here, the process of S69 is demonstrated based on FIG. First, in S161, the value of the jackpot counter stored in the current storage area E0 is read. Next, in S162, it is determined whether or not a probability variation state to be described later. Here, when it is determined that the state is not the probability variation state (S162: No), the process proceeds to S163, and “7” that is a big hit value in the normal state is read. In this regard, “7”, which is a big hit value at the normal time, is read from the table shown in FIG. 6 provided in the main control ROM 22. Thereafter, in S164, “7”, which is a normal jackpot value, is subtracted from the value of the jackpot counter. In S165, it is determined whether or not the subtraction result is “0”. Here, when it is determined that the subtraction result is “0” (S165: Yes), the process proceeds to S70 of FIG. 4, but when it is determined that the subtraction result is not “0” (S165: No). ), The process proceeds to S73 of FIG. On the other hand, when it is determined that the probability variation state is present (S162: Yes), the process proceeds to S166, and the jackpot value at the time of probability variation is "7", "50", "100", "150", "200", “250” is read. In this respect, the jackpot values “7”, “50”, “100”, “150”, “200”, and “250” at the time of the probability change are read from the table shown in FIG. 6 provided in the main control ROM 22. It is. Thereafter, in S167, the jackpot value “7”, “50”, “100”, “150”, “200”, “250” at the time of probability change is subtracted from the jackpot counter value, and in S168, It is determined whether or not there is even one “0” among the six subtraction results. Here, when it is determined that “0” is one of the six subtraction results (S168: Yes), the process proceeds to S70 in FIG. 4, but all of the six subtraction results are “0”. If not (S168: No), the process proceeds to S73 in FIG.

In S70 of FIG. 4, one of the 12 sets of “hit symbols” shown in FIG. 15 is selected as the “final stop symbol” from the value of the symbol counter stored in the current storage area E0. Specifically, as described above, the value of the symbol counter stored in the current storage area E0 counts up the range of “1” to “12” every “1” as shown in FIG. Therefore, select the “big hit symbol” that is the same as the symbol counter value. For example, when the value of the symbol counter stored in the current storage area E0 corresponds to “5”, “Big hit symbol” of “5” “5” “5” is selected. Of course, when the value of the symbol counter stored in the current storage area E0 corresponds to “9”, the “hit symbol” of “9”, “9”, and “9” is selected. Then, in S71, after acquiring the value of the current fluctuation pattern counter (see FIG. 25), the process proceeds to S72, from the value of the current fluctuation pattern counter (see FIG. 25) and the fluctuation pattern determination table of FIG. Then, the variation pattern number is selected, and the process proceeds to S80.
The variation pattern determination table in FIG. 10 will be described in detail later.

  On the other hand, in S73, it is determined whether or not the value of the reach counter acquired at this time is a reach value. In this regard, the reach counter is secured in the main control RAM 23 of FIG. 19 and the like, and as shown in FIG. 21, the range from “0” to “99” is incremented by “1”. It is a going arc counter. Further, the reach value is secured in the main control RAM 23 of FIG. 19 and the like, as shown in FIG. 22, “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7”, “8”, “9”, “10”, “11”, “12”, “13”, “14”, “15”, “16”, “17” ”,“ 18 ”,“ 19 ”,“ 20 ”,“ 21 ”,“ 22 ”,“ 23 ”,“ 24 ”,“ 25 ”,“ 26 ”,“ 27 ”,“ 28 ”,“ 29 ”, Forty “30”, “31”, “32”, “33”, “34”, “35”, “36”, “37”, “38”, “39” are stored. If it is determined that the value of the reach counter is one of 40 reach values (S73: Yes), the process proceeds to S74.

  In S74, the “lost reach symbol” stored in the later reach symbol storage area, which will be described later, is set as the “final stop symbol”. Then, in S75, after acquiring the value of the current fluctuation pattern counter (see FIG. 25), the process proceeds to S76, and from the value of the current fluctuation pattern counter (see FIG. 25) and the fluctuation pattern determination table of FIG. Then, the variation pattern number is selected, and the process proceeds to S80.

  However, at the time point W2 between S75 and S76, the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 35 is performed. Therefore, here, the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 35 will be described. As shown in FIG. 35, first, in S201, the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301 that is a movable object is confirmed. For this confirmation, a detection signal from the movable object position sensor 304 is used. In S202, it is determined whether or not the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301, which is a movable object, is in the three-stage position 302B. At this time, if it is determined that the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301 that is a movable object is in the three-stage position 302B (S202: Yes), the process proceeds to S72 in FIG. On the other hand, when it is determined that the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301 that is a movable object is not in the three-stage position 302B (S202: No), the process proceeds to S76 in FIG.

  Returning to FIG. 4, when it is determined in S73 described above that the value of the reach counter is not one of the 40 reach values (S73: No), the process proceeds to S77. In S77, the “completely lost symbol” stored in the complete lost symbol storage area described later is set as the “final stop symbol”. In this regard, the “completely lost symbol” refers to anything other than the “big hit symbol” and the “loser reach symbol”. In S78, the value of the current variation pattern counter (see FIG. 25) is acquired. Then, the process proceeds to S79, and the current variation pattern counter (see FIG. 25) value and the variation pattern determination table in FIG. Then, the variation pattern number is selected, and the process proceeds to S80.

In S80, information related to the “final stop symbol”, information related to the variation pattern number, and the like are transmitted to the display sub-board 30 of FIG.
At this time, the display sub-board 30 in FIG. 19 displays the information on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 based on the information on the “final stop symbol”, the information on the number of the variation pattern, and the video selection table in FIG. The change of the three symbols is started to control the display content of the display 4 of the symbol display device 3, and the movable motor 303 is controlled based on the information transmitted in the flowchart of FIG. The video selection table in FIG. 11 will be described in detail later.
In S81, the counting of the variation time is started, and then the process returns to the interrupt program in FIG.

  However, at the time point W1 between S80 and S81, the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 36 is performed. Therefore, here, the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 36 will be described. As shown in FIG. 36, first, in S211, it is determined whether or not the value of the jackpot counter stored in the current storage area E0 is a jackpot value. At this time, when it is determined that the value of the jackpot counter stored in the current storage area E0 is a jackpot value (S211: Yes), the process proceeds to S212, and the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301 that is a movable object is determined. Information to be moved to the four-stage position 302A is transmitted to the display sub-board 30.

  At this time, when the display sub-board 30 receives information to move the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301, which is a movable object, to the four-stage position 302A, it controls the movable motor 303 while using the movable object position sensor 304. Then, the arm 302 of the robot 301 that is a movable object is moved to the four-stage position 302A.

  In this regard, moving the arm 302 of the robot 301, which is a movable object, to the four-stage position 302A is performed as follows. That is, when the arm 302 of the robot 301 is currently at the home position 302H, the robot 301 is moved / stopped from the home position 302H to the first stage position 302D, and further moved from the first stage position 302 to the second stage position 302C. It is moved / stopped, further moved / stopped from the second stage position 302C to the third stage position 302B, and further moved / stopped from the third stage position 302B to the fourth stage position 302A. Further, when the arm 302 of the robot 301 is currently in the first stage position 302D, the robot 301 is moved / stopped from the first stage position 302 to the second stage position 302C, and further from the second stage position 302C to the third stage position 302C. It is moved / stopped to the position 302B, and further moved / stopped from the third stage position 302B to the fourth stage position 302A. Further, when the arm 302 of the robot 301 is currently in the second stage position 302C, the robot 302 is moved and stopped from the second stage position 302C to the third stage position 302B, and further from the third stage position 302B to the fourth stage position 302C. Move / stop to position 302A. If the arm 302 of the robot 301 is currently in the third stage position 302B, the robot 302 moves and stops from the third stage position 302B to the fourth stage position 302A. When the arm 302 of the robot 301 is currently in the four-stage position 302A, it is maintained at the four-stage position 302A.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S211 that the value of the jackpot counter stored in the current storage area E0 is not a jackpot value (S211: No), the process proceeds to S213, and the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301 that is a movable object. Is in the three-stage position 302B. For this confirmation, the confirmation information in S201 of FIG. 35 described above may be used, or the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301 may be confirmed again via the detection signal of the movable object position sensor 304. At this time, if it is determined that the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301 that is a movable object is in the three-stage position 302B (S213: Yes), the process proceeds to S214, and the value of the reach counter is 40 reach values. It is judged whether it is either. At this time, when it is determined that the value of the reach counter is any one of the 40 reach values (S214: Yes), the process proceeds to S215, and the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301 that is a movable object is set to the following four. Information to be moved to the stage position 302A is transmitted to the display sub-board 30.

  At this time, when receiving information for moving the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301, which is a movable object, to the next four-stage position 302A, the display sub-board 30 controls the movable motor 303 while using the movable object position sensor 304. Then, the arm 302 of the robot 301, which is a movable object, is moved to the next four-stage position 302A.

  In this regard, moving the arm 302 of the robot 301, which is a movable object, to the next four-stage position 302A is performed as follows. That is, since the arm 302 of the robot 301 is currently in the third stage position 302B, it is moved / stopped from the third stage position 302B to the fourth stage position 302A.

  On the other hand, in S213 described above, when it is determined that the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301 that is a movable object is not in the three-stage position 302B (S213: No), the process proceeds to S217 and the robot 301 that is a movable object is moved. It is determined whether or not the position of the arm 302 is in the fourth stage position 302A. For this confirmation, the confirmation information in S201 of FIG. 35 described above may be used, or the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301 may be confirmed again via the detection signal of the movable object position sensor 304. At this time, when it is determined that the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301 that is a movable object is in the four-stage position 302A (S217: Yes), the process proceeds to S216 and the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301 that is a movable object. Is transmitted to the display sub-board 30. Also, in the above-described S214, when it is determined that the value of the reach counter is not any of the 40 reach values (S214: No), the process proceeds to S216, and similarly, the arm of the robot 301 that is a movable object. Information for maintaining the position 302 is transmitted to the display sub-board 30.

  At this time, when the display sub-board 30 receives information for maintaining the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301 which is a movable object, the arm 302 of the robot 301 which is a movable object is left as it is.

  On the other hand, in S217 described above, when it is determined that the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301 that is a movable object is not in the four-stage position 302A (S217: No), the process proceeds to S218 and S75 in FIG. In S78, it is determined whether or not the obtained value of the variation pattern counter is “5”. At this time, when it is determined that the value of the variation pattern counter is not “5” (S218: No), the process proceeds to S216 described above to display information for maintaining the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301 that is a movable object. Transmit to the substrate 30.

  At this time, when the display sub-board 30 receives information for maintaining the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301 which is a movable object, the arm 302 of the robot 301 which is a movable object is left as it is.

  On the other hand, in S218 described above, when it is determined that the value of the variation pattern counter is not “5” (S218: Yes), the process proceeds to S219, and the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301 that is a movable object is set to the next level. Information to be moved to the position is transmitted to the display sub-board 30.

  At this time, when the display sub-board 30 receives information for moving the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301 that is a movable object to the next position, the display sub-board 30 controls the movable motor 303 while using the movable object position sensor 304 to enable The arm 302 of the robot 301 that is an animal is moved to the next position.

  In this regard, moving the arm 302 of the robot 301, which is a movable object, to the next position is performed as follows. That is, when the arm 302 of the robot 301 is currently at the home position 302H, the robot 301 is moved / stopped from the home position 302H to the first stage position 302D. Further, when the arm 302 of the robot 301 is currently in the first stage position 302D, it is moved / stopped from the first stage position 302 to the second stage position 302C. When the arm 302 of the robot 301 is currently in the second stage position 302C, the robot 302 moves and stops from the second stage position 302C to the third stage position 302B. If the arm 302 of the robot 301 is currently in the third stage position 302B, the robot 302 moves and stops from the third stage position 302B to the fourth stage position 302A. If the arm 302 of the robot 301 is currently in the four-stage position 302A, the process of S219 is not performed by the determination process of S217 described above.

  Then, after performing any one of the above-described processes of S212 or S215, S216, and S219, the process returns to the flowchart of FIG.

Here, the variation pattern determination table of FIG. 10 will be described. The variation pattern determination table in FIG. 10 is stored in the main control ROM 22 in FIG. In addition, in the variation pattern determination table of FIG. 10, seven variation pattern numbers “1” to “7” are prepared, and each variation pattern number includes a display of the symbol display device 3. The production time for changing / stopping the three symbols displayed in 4 is determined. Moreover, it is divided into “To”, “Hari”, and “Complete”.
The effect time for changing / stopping the three symbols displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 is also the effect time for moving / stopping the arm 302 of the symbol display device 3.

  In this respect, “this” means that the value of the jackpot counter stored in the current storage area E0 shifts to the “jackpot gaming state”, that is, the value of the jackpot counter is a jackpot value (normally “ 7 ”, or“ 3 ”,“ 5 ”,“ 7 ”, or“ 11 ”at the time of the probability change. Therefore, in S72 of FIG. 4, the value of the jackpot counter is the jackpot value ("7" in normal time, "3", "5", "7", or "11" in probability variation) ( S69: Yes), the variation pattern number of “6” or “7” is selected.

  At this time, if the value of the variation pattern counter is “0” to “2”, the number of the variation pattern “6” is selected, and the value of the variation pattern counter is any one of “3” to “9”. In this case, the number of the variation pattern “7” is selected. In addition, the fraction described in the table means the probability at this time.

  “Hari” means that the value of the jackpot counter is not a jackpot value (“7” at normal time, “3”, “5”, “7”, “11” at the time of probability change), and The reach counter values are “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7”, “8”, “9”, “10”, “ 11 ”,“ 12 ”,“ 13 ”,“ 14 ”,“ 15 ”,“ 16 ”,“ 17 ”,“ 18 ”,“ 19 ”,“ 20 ”,“ 21 ”,“ 22 ”,“ 23 ” , “24”, “25”, “26”, “27”, “28”, “29”, “30”, “31”, “32”, “33”, “34”, “35”, “ It means any one of “36”, “37”, “38”, and “39”, that is, transition to the “reach state”. Therefore, in S76 of FIG. 4, the value of the jackpot counter is not the jackpot value ("7" in normal time, "3", "5", "7", or "11" in probability variation), and The reach counter values are “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7”, “8”, “9”, “10”, “ 11 ”,“ 12 ”,“ 13 ”,“ 14 ”,“ 15 ”,“ 16 ”,“ 17 ”,“ 18 ”,“ 19 ”,“ 20 ”,“ 21 ”,“ 22 ”,“ 23 ” , “24”, “25”, “26”, “27”, “28”, “29”, “30”, “31”, “32”, “33”, “34”, “35”, “ Since it is one of “36”, “37”, “38”, and “39” (S73: Yes), the number of any one of the variation patterns “2” to “5” is selected.

  Further, at this time, when the value of the variation pattern counter is any one of “0” to “6”, the variation pattern number “2” is selected, and when the value of the variation pattern counter is “7”. When the variation pattern number “3” is selected and the variation pattern counter value is “8”, the variation pattern number “4” is selected, and when the variation pattern counter value is “9”. The variation pattern number of “5” is selected. In addition, the fraction described in the table means the probability at this time.

  In addition, “complete ha” means that the value of the jackpot counter is not a jackpot value (“7” in normal time, “3”, “5”, “7”, “11” in probability variation), and The reach counter values are “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7”, “8”, “9”, “10”, “11”, “12”, “13”, “14”, “15”, “16”, “17”, “18”, “19”, “20”, “21”, “22”, “23 ”,“ 24 ”,“ 25 ”,“ 26 ”,“ 27 ”,“ 28 ”,“ 29 ”,“ 30 ”,“ 31 ”,“ 32 ”,“ 33 ”,“ 34 ”,“ 35 ”, This means that none of “36”, “37”, “38”, and “39”, that is, transition to “complete loss”. Therefore, in S79 of FIG. 4, the value of the jackpot counter is not the jackpot value ("7" in normal time, "3", "5", "7", or "11" in probability variation), and The reach counter values are “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7”, “8”, “9”, “10”, “ 11 ”,“ 12 ”,“ 13 ”,“ 14 ”,“ 15 ”,“ 16 ”,“ 17 ”,“ 18 ”,“ 19 ”,“ 20 ”,“ 21 ”,“ 22 ”,“ 23 ” , “24”, “25”, “26”, “27”, “28”, “29”, “30”, “31”, “32”, “33”, “34”, “35”, “ Since it is not any of “36”, “37”, “38”, and “39” (S73: No), the number of the variation pattern “1” is selected.

  Of course, at this time, even if the value of the variation pattern counter is any of “0” to “9”, the number of the variation pattern “1” is selected. In addition, the fraction described in the table means the probability at this time.

  Next, the video selection table in FIG. 11 will be described. The video selection table in FIG. 11 is stored in the symbol display control ROM 32 in FIG. In the video selection table of FIG. 11, seven fluctuation pattern numbers “1” to “7” are prepared, and the video content is defined in each fluctuation pattern number. In this respect, the variation pattern numbers correspond to those in the variation pattern determination table of FIG.

  The video content refers to video content displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 when the three symbols displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 fluctuate / stop.

  Further, “completely lost” means an image displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 when “completely lost”. “Normal reach” means normal reach, which is a type of “reach video” displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 in the “reach state”. “Long reach” means long reach, which is a type of “reach video” displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 in the “reach state”. Further, “handgun reach A” means handgun reach A which is a type of “reach image” displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 in the “reach state”. Further, “handgun reach B” means handgun reach B, which is a type of “reach video” displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 in the “reach state”. Further, “special reach A” means special reach A which is a type of “reach video” displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 in the “reach state”. Further, “special reach B” means special reach B which is a type of “reach video” displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 in the “reach state”. Further, ““ big hit ”display” means “big hit” that is displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 when the three symbols varying on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 are stopped with the “big hit symbol”. Means the character.

  The contents of the video are “completely lost”, “normal reach”, “long reach”, “handgun reach A”, “handgun reach B”, “special reach A”, “special reach B”, “display” It is composed of the combination.

  Note that here, as shown in FIG. 38, images displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 for “handgun reach A”, “handgun reach B”, “special reach A”, and “special reach B”. The content and the output content of the speaker 203 are defined in accordance with the content. Therefore, the video content and the output content will be described with reference to FIG.

  In other words, in “handgun reach A”, the display 4 displays a video in which a similar ally character fires a handgun at the enemy character toward the enemy character, but deviates from the enemy character. On the other hand, a gunshot “vacuum” is emitted from the speaker 203.

  In “handgun reach B”, the display unit 4 displays an image on the robot 301 where a similar ally character fires a handgun at the enemy character and hits the enemy character but does not fall down. On the other hand, a gunshot “vacuum” is emitted from the speaker 203.

  In “Special Reach A”, the display 4 displays an image in which a similar friend character performs a fierce handgun with an enemy character on the robot 301. On the other hand, a gunshot “vacuum / vacuum” is emitted from the speaker 203.

  In “Special Reach B”, the display 4 displays an image in which a similar ally character works with an enemy character on the robot 301 and throws the enemy character away. On the other hand, a sound effect of “bang” is emitted from the speaker 203.

  Next, the jackpot game process of S24 of FIG. 2 will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, in the jackpot game process of S24 of FIG. 2, it is determined in S131 whether or not the “hit game state” is in progress. Here, when it is determined that the “big hit gaming state” is in the middle (S131: Yes), the process proceeds to S132 to determine whether or not the “big hit gaming state” end condition is satisfied.

  Here, the termination condition of the “big hit gaming state” will be described. The pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment is a first type pachinko machine, and the “big hit gaming state” means, for example, that ten pachinko balls win the big prize opening 6 or a predetermined time elapses. Until then, the big winning opening 6 is opened. At this time, when a pachinko ball wins in the V zone (not shown), it proceeds to the next round, and continues to a maximum of 15 rounds. Therefore, the end condition of the “big hit game state” is that the pachinko ball has not won a prize in the V zone (not shown) while the grand prize winning opening 6 is open, or has been digested up to 15 rounds.

  Then, when it is determined that the end condition of the “hit game state” is not satisfied (S132: No), the process returns to the interruption program of FIG. 2, but when it is determined that the end condition of the “hit game state” is satisfied. (S132: Yes), the process proceeds to S133, and an end screen display command is transmitted to the display sub-board 30. In S134, after the “big hit gaming state” is terminated, the process proceeds to S137. At this time, when receiving the end screen display command, the display sub-board 30 ends the display content displayed on the display unit 4 of the symbol display device 3 during the “big hit gaming state”. Then, in S137, it is determined whether or not the “big hit symbol” is an odd number. Specifically, whether the value of the symbol counter stored in the current storage area E0 is “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, “9”, or “11”. Judge whether or not. Here, when it is determined that the value of the symbol counter stored in the current storage area E0 is “1” or “3”, “5”, “7”, “9”, “11” (S137: Yes), the process proceeds to S138, and after substituting “1” indicating the probability change state into the flag secured in the main control RAM 23 of FIG. 19, the process returns to the interrupt program of FIG. On the other hand, when it is determined that the value of the symbol counter stored in the current storage area E0 is neither “1” nor “3”, “5”, “7”, “9”, “11” (S137: No), the process proceeds to S139, and after substituting “0” representing the normal state for the flag secured in the main control RAM 23 of FIG. 19, the process returns to the interrupt program of FIG.

That is, here, the probability variation state is a state in which there are four jackpot values “3”, “5”, “7”, and “11” with respect to the value of the jackpot counter (S166 in FIG. 5). From the side, the “hit symbol” is “1” “1” “1”, “3” “3” “3”, “5” “5” “5”, “7” “7” “7” , “9”, “9”, “9”, “11”, “11”, and “11”. Further, the normal state means a state in which the jackpot value with respect to the value of the jackpot counter is only one state of “7” (S163 in FIG. 5), and from the player side, the “jackpot symbol” is “2”. “2” “2”, “4” “4” “4”, “6” “6” “6”, “8” “8” “8”, “10” “10” “10”, “12” Occurs when one of “12” and “12”.
In the initial state, “0” representing the normal state is assigned to the flag secured in the main control RAM 23 of FIG.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the game is not in the middle of the “hit game state” (S131: No), the process proceeds to S135, and the “hit game” is displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 to notify the jackpot game. It is determined whether or not, that is, whether or not it is immediately after transmitting a command to stop the fluctuation of the symbol to the display sub-board 30 of FIG. Here, when it is determined that the command for stopping the variation of the symbol is not immediately after being transmitted to the display sub-board 30 of FIG. 19 (S135: No), the program returns to the interrupt program of FIG. 2, but the variation of the symbol is stopped. If it is determined that it is immediately after the instruction to be sent is sent to the display sub-board 30 in FIG. 19 (S135: Yes), the process proceeds to S136, and after starting the “big hit gaming state”, the interrupt program in FIG. Return to.

  Next, the process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 36 performed at the time point W3 between S24 and S25 of FIG. 2 will be described. As shown in FIG. 36, first, in S231, it is determined whether or not the “big hit gaming state” is in progress. Here, when it is determined that the game is in the “hit game state” (S231: Yes), the process returns to the flowchart of FIG. On the other hand, if it is determined that the game is not in the “big hit game state” (S231: Yes), the process proceeds to S232, and the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301 that is a movable object is confirmed. For this confirmation, a detection signal from the movable object position sensor 304 is used. Next, it progresses to S233 and it is judged whether the arm 302 of the robot 301 which is a movable object is moving. For this determination, the confirmation information in S232 described above is used. At this time, when it is determined that the arm 302 of the robot 301, which is a movable object, is moving (S233: Yes), the process returns to the flowchart of FIG.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the arm 302 of the robot 301, which is a movable object, is not moving (S233: No), the process proceeds to S235 to determine whether there is a hold. This determination is made based on whether or not one set of counter values is stored in the storage area E0 (see FIGS. 17 and 18). At this time, when it is determined that there is no hold (S235: No), the process proceeds to S237 described later. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is a hold (S235: Yes), the process proceeds to S236 to determine whether or not the value of the next jackpot counter is not a jackpot value. This determination is made based on whether or not the value of the jackpot counter stored in the current storage area E1 is not a jackpot value.

  At this time, when it is determined that the value of the jackpot counter stored in the current storage area E1 is the jackpot value (S236: No), the process returns to the flowchart of FIG. On the other hand, when it is determined that the value of the jackpot counter stored in the current storage area E1 is not the jackpot value (S236: Yes), the process proceeds to S237. In S235 described above, when it is determined that there is no suspension (S235: No), the process proceeds to S237.

  In S237, information for returning the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301, which is a movable object, to the home position 302H is transmitted to the display sub-board 30.

  At this time, when the display sub-board 30 receives information for returning the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301 that is a movable object to the home position 302H, the display sub-board 30 controls the movable motor 303 while using the movable object position sensor 304 to enable The arm 302 of the robot 301 that is an animal is moved to the home position 302H without stopping.

  In this regard, moving the arm 302 of the robot 301, which is a movable object, to the home position 302H is performed as follows. That is, since the arm 302 of the robot 301 is currently in the four-stage position 302A, it is continuously moved and stopped to the home position 302H.

  Then, after performing the process of S237 described above, the process returns to the flowchart of FIG.

  Next, the initial value changing process of the jackpot counter in S25 of FIG. 2 will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, in the initial value change processing of the big hit counter in S25 of FIG. 2, it is determined in S141 whether or not the big hit counter has made one round. Here, when it is determined that the big hit counter has not made one round (S141: No), the process returns to the interrupt program of FIG. 2, but when it is determined that the big hit counter has made one round (S141: Yes), S142. Then, the current value X1 of the initial value change counter is acquired. In S143, the jackpot counter is set to the value X1, and the process proceeds to S144 so that the jackpot counter can count up with the value X1 as an initial value, and then the process returns to the interrupt program of FIG.

  In this respect, as shown in FIG. 26, the big hit counter is an arc counter that counts up the range of “0” to “359” every “1”. (S141) is determined based on whether or not the value of the jackpot counter is a value obtained by subtracting "1" from the initial value X1.

  Next, the prize ball payout process in S26 of FIG. 2 will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, in S151, it is determined whether or not a pachinko ball has been won at the start port 5. Here, when it is determined that the pachinko ball has been won at the start opening 5 (S151: Yes), the process proceeds to S152, and the prize ball sub-board 50 is made to pay out the number of prize balls for winning at the start opening 5. After issuing the instruction, the program returns to the interrupt program of FIG. At this time, the prize ball sub-board 50 pays out a predetermined number of pachinko balls via the prize ball payout device 62. On the other hand, when it is determined that the pachinko ball has not won at the start opening 5 (S151: No), the process proceeds to S153, where it is determined whether or not the pachinko ball has won the big winning opening 6. Here, when it is determined that the pachinko ball has not won the grand prize opening 6 (S153: No), the process returns to the interruption program of FIG. 2, but when it is determined that the pachinko ball has won the big prize opening 6 (S153: Yes), the process proceeds to S154, and after giving a command to the prize ball sub-board 50 to pay out the number of prize balls for winning in the big prize opening 6, the process returns to the interruption program of FIG. At this time, the prize ball sub-board 50 pays out a predetermined number of pachinko balls via the prize ball payout device 62.

  Next, the lost symbol process in S27 of FIG. 2 will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. As shown in FIG. 24, in S171, it is determined whether or not the value of the left symbol counter and the value of the middle symbol counter are the same. If it is determined that the value of the left symbol counter and the value of the middle symbol counter are the same (S171: Yes), the process proceeds to S172, where the value of the middle symbol counter is the same as the value of the right symbol counter. Determine whether or not. In this regard, the left symbol counter, the middle symbol counter, and the right symbol counter are arc counters that increment the range of “1” to “12” every “1”, as shown in FIG.

  When it is determined that the value of the middle symbol counter and the value of the right symbol counter are the same (S172: Yes), the program returns to the interrupt program of FIG. 2, but the value of the middle symbol counter and the value of the right symbol counter are the same. Are determined not to be the same (S172: No), the process proceeds to S173, and the combination of the left symbol counter value, the middle symbol counter value, and the right symbol counter value is defined as the “loser reach symbol”. After overwriting the symbol storage area, the process returns to the interrupt program of FIG. Specifically, for example, when the value of the left symbol counter is “1”, the value of the middle symbol counter is “1”, and the value of the right symbol counter is “2” (S171: Yes, S172: No), Although “1”, “1”, and “2” are overwritten in the storage area for lost reach symbols as “lost reach symbols” (S173), the value of the left symbol counter is “1” and the value of the middle symbol counter is “1”. When the value of the right symbol counter is “1” (S171: Yes, S172: Yes), the process returns to the interrupt program of FIG. 2 without doing anything for the lost reach symbol storage area.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the value of the left symbol counter and the value of the middle symbol counter are not the same (S171: No), the process proceeds to S174, where the value of the left symbol counter, the value of the middle symbol counter, and the value of the right symbol counter 2 is overwritten in the complete lost symbol storage area as “completely lost symbol” and then the process returns to the interrupt program of FIG. Specifically, for example, when the value of the left symbol counter is “0”, the value of the middle symbol counter is “1”, and the value of the right symbol counter is “2” (S171: No), “0” “ "1" and "2" are overwritten in the complete loss symbol storage area as "complete loss symbol" (S174).
The loss reach symbol storage area and the complete loss symbol storage area are secured in the main control RAM 23 of FIG.

  As described above in detail, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the value of the jackpot counter stored in the current storage area E0 is a jackpot value (S211: Yes), the display on the symbol display device 3 After the symbol display area 7, the middle symbol symbol display area 8 and the right symbol display area 9 in the device 4 are subjected to a variable display in which each symbol fluctuates and stops, the game progresses to a “big hit gaming state”. During the variable display, the image of the special reach A or the special reach B is displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 (see FIGS. 10 and 11), and the arm 302 of the robot 301 which is a movable object is Regardless of the current position, it moves / stops to the fourth stage position 302A (S212).

  When the value of the jackpot counter stored in the current storage area E0 is not the jackpot value (S211: No), when the current reach counter value is the reach value (S214: Yes), the symbol display device 3 When the display of the left symbol display area 7, the middle right symbol display area 8, and the right symbol display area 9 of the display 4 in FIG. During the change display, the arm 302 of the robot 301, which is a movable object, moves and stops to the fourth stage position 302A only when the current position is at the third stage position 302B (S213: Yes) ( S213: Yes, S215). Further, during this variable display, the image of the special reach A or special reach B is displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 (S202: Yes, see FIGS. 10 and 11).

  Therefore, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the video of the special reach A or the special reach B is displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3, it is possible to develop into a “big hit gaming state” with a certain probability. From the viewpoint of the player, this can be received as a notice of the possibility of developing into a “hit game state” with the highest degree of reliability. This also applies to the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301 that is a movable object. When the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301 that is a movable object moves / stops to the four-stage position 302A, the same probability as described above is obtained. There is a possibility that the game will develop into a “hit game state”. From the viewpoint of the player, this can be received as an advance notice of the possibility of development into the “hit game state” with the highest degree of reliability. Therefore, even if the player overlooks the image of Special Reach A or Special Reach B displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3, the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301 that is a movable object is changed to the four-stage position 302A. By confirming that there is a notice, it is possible to recognize a notice of the possibility of developing into a “hit game state”.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the possibility of developing to the “big hit gaming state” is notified by a series of movements of the arm 302 of the robot 301 that operates during the above-described variation display. Therefore, even a player ignorant about the notice can be surely recognized the notice through the operation of the arm 302 of the robot 301.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the value of the jackpot counter stored in the current storage area E0 is not the jackpot value (S211: No), it becomes “completely lost” or “reach state”. When the arm 302 of the movable robot 301 is not in the third position 302B and the fourth position 302A (S213: No, S217: No), the current variation pattern counter value is “5”. Only (S218: Yes), complete loss or normal reach is displayed on the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 (see FIGS. 10 and 11), and the arm 302 of the robot 301 which is a movable object is When the position is the home position 302H, the position is moved / stopped to the first position 302D, and the current position is the first position 3 Moved and stopped in two stages position 302C when a 2D, moving and stops at position 302B of the three stages in the case the current position is the position 302C of the second stage (S219). In this regard, the probability that the value of the variation pattern counter is “5” is “1/10” (see FIG. 25).

  Therefore, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the fact that the arm 302 of the robot 301 that is a movable object is in the three-stage position 302B is irrelevant to notifying the possibility of developing to the “hit game state”. It is. However, in order to advance the arm 302 of the robot 301, which is a movable object, to the three-stage position 302B, it is necessary to increase the chances of acquiring the value of the variation pattern counter by winning a lot of pachinko balls at the start port 5. From the player's perspective, this is not an easy mode. Regarding the position of the arm 302 of the robot 301 that is a movable object, the three-stage position 302B is closest to the four-stage position 302A, and the four-stage position 302A can be developed to a “hit game state”. It has something to do with foretelling sex. Therefore, the illusion that the arm 302 of the robot 301, which is a movable object, is in the three-stage position 302B is related to notifying the player of the possibility of developing to a “hit game state”. Can be given.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, the left symbol display area 7, the middle symbol display area 8, and the right symbol display of the display 4 of the symbol display device 3 are held by the sub-control board 30. Since the variation display of each symbol in the region 9 and the movable content of the arm 302 of the robot 301 are controlled, the left symbol display region 7, the middle symbol display region 8, and the right symbol display region of the display 4 of the symbol display device 3. It is possible to prevent wrinkles due to noise between the change display of each symbol at 9 and the movable content of the arm 302 of the robot 301. This also applies to the output content of the speaker 203. Therefore, the arm 302 of the robot 301 can be operated and the speaker 203 can be output without imposing a burden on the main board 20.

  In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, as described above, among the positions of the arm 302 of the robot 301 that is a movable object, the four-stage position 302A has the highest reliability and the “big hit gaming state”. It is a notice of the possibility of developing to. In this regard, when the arm 302 of the robot 301 that is a movable object has advanced to the four-stage position 302A (S234: Yes), the arm 302 of the robot 301 that is a movable object is returned to the home position 302H (S237). Therefore, it is possible to give a notice of the possibility of developing to a “hit game state” anew. However, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the value of the jackpot counter stored in the current storage area E1 is a jackpot value (S236: No), the arm 302 of the robot 301 that is a movable object has four arms 302. Since the stopped state is maintained at the stage position 302A, the advance notice regarding the possibility of developing to the “big hit gaming state” can be continuously performed with the highest reliability.

In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning.
For example, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when moving the arm 302 of the robot 301, except for the operation of returning to the home position 302H, the first position 302D, the second position 302C, and the third position 302B. Although the movement / stop is repeated to each position that is the operation purpose in the order of the four-stage position 302A, in this regard, the movement / stop may be continuously performed to each position that is the operation purpose.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the arm 302 of the robot 301 is returned from the four-stage position 302A to the home position 302H, it is continuously moved from the four-stage position 302A to the home position 302H. However, this point may be repeatedly moved and stopped for each position. That is, the arm 302 of the robot 301 is moved / stopped from the 4th position 302A to the 3rd position 302B, moved / stopped from the 3rd position 302B to the 2nd position 302C, and the arm 302 of the robot 301 is moved from the 2nd position 302C to 1. It may be moved / stopped to the stage position 302D and moved / stopped from the first stage position 302D to the home position 302H.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the arm 302 of the robot 301 is only in the four-stage position 302A (234: Yes) and under predetermined conditions (S235: No, S236: Yes). The operation of returning to the home position 302H is performed (S237). However, even if the operation of returning to the home position 302H from the first stage position 302D or the second stage position 302C and the third stage position 302B is performed. Good.

  The present invention can be applied to a gaming machine to which a privilege is granted when a predetermined condition is satisfied.
