Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.
The pachinko gaming machine according to this embodiment is a gaming machine similar to a third-class pachinko gaming machine called a so-called right thing, and has a front frame 3 to which a glass plate 2 is attached as shown in FIG. The player can visually check the game board 4 from the glass plate 2.

  The game board 4 is formed with various objects, a plurality of nails, a windmill, and the like, as well as a first variable winning means 12 including a start port 6, an opening / closing blade 12a and a housing portion 12b, and a second Large winning openings 7 are formed as variable winning means. The first variable winning means 12 is disposed substantially in the center of the game board 4, and a pair of blade portions 12 a that are opened for a predetermined time when a game ball wins at the start port 6, and a specific area 14. And a housing portion 12b having a plate-like member 13 with holes formed therein. Note that a symbol display means 5 capable of dot display is disposed above the first variable winning means 12 so that a predetermined symbol or background can be displayed on the screen.

  Then, when the game ball wins the start opening 6 and the blade portion 12a in the first variable winning means 12 is opened for a predetermined time, the game ball is opened from the open portion to the housing as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. It is possible to jump into the portion 12b. When the game ball jumps into the housing portion 12b, an effect by the symbol display means 5 is performed.

  However, the game ball that has jumped into the housing 12 falls onto the plate-like member 13 and falls from the edge or passes through the specific area 14 at the substantially center. When the game ball passes through the specific area 14, it becomes a “hit preparation state” (a state in which a big hit state can be generated when a separate condition is established), and the design display means 5 performs that effect. That is, when the game ball wins the start opening 6, the blade portion 12a in the first variable winning opening 12 is opened for a predetermined time, and another game ball passes through the specific area 14 in the housing portion 12b. The jackpot is ready.

  Further, a first gate 15 as a first region and a second gate 16 as a second region are disposed on the right side of the game board 4 in the figure. The first gate 15 and the second gate 16 are configured so that no control is performed even if a game ball passes in a normal state (a state other than the jackpot preparation state), while the game is in the jackpot preparation state. When the game ball passes through the first gate 15, a big hit state advantageous to the player is generated, and the large winning opening 7 is continuously opened at a predetermined time and timing so that a large number of game balls can be obtained. .

  On the other hand, during the jackpot preparation state (that is, before the game ball passes through the first gate 15), if a predetermined number of game balls pass through the second gate 16, the jackpot preparation state is extinguished and the jackpot state does not occur. It has become. That is, in order to generate a big hit state from the big hit preparation state, it is necessary to pass the game ball to the first gate 15 before a predetermined number of game balls pass to the second gate 16 in the big hit preparation state. .

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the jackpot preparation state disappears when a predetermined number of game balls pass through the second gate 16, but the jackpot preparation state disappears and the first gate 15 If even one game ball passes through the second gate 16 before the game ball passes, the jackpot preparation state may disappear. In this case, when the game ball passes through the first gate 15 and the second gate 16 at the same time, a big hit state is generated (that is, the big hit preparation state is not extinguished), or the second gate 16 is played. It is preferable that a big hit state is generated when a game ball passes through the first gate 15 until a predetermined time elapses after the ball passes.

  A handle 8 is provided at the lower right corner of the pachinko gaming machine 1 and is configured to launch a game ball in the upper plate 9 to the game board 4 by operating the handle 8. Reference numeral 11 in the figure denotes a speaker formed above the lower plate 10 of the front frame 3, and the effect of playing during the game is enhanced by sound, sound effects, etc. emitted from the speaker 11.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a main board 17, a symbol control board 18, a lamp control board 19 and a voice control board 20 are disposed on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 1, and each board is made of a transparent resin. While being accommodated in the case, it is electrically connected to a predetermined substrate or element. Specifically, the main board 17 and the symbol control board 18 are connected to each other so that an output signal or a control signal of the main board 17 can be transmitted to the symbol control board 18. The control board 19 and the voice control board 20 are connected to each other so that an output signal or a control signal of the symbol control board 18 can be transmitted to the lamp control board 19 and the voice control board 20, respectively.

  The main board 17 controls game contents throughout the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the internal CPU detects various switches and solenoids formed on the game board 4 side (the game ball is won at the start port 6). And the first gate SW and the second gate SW for detecting that the game ball has passed through the first gate 15 and the second gate 16 are connected, and control as described above ( From the jackpot preparation state to the occurrence of the jackpot state or the disappearance of the jackpot preparation state).

  Further, a lottery means 21 is formed in the CPU of the main board 17. The lottery means 21 operates the jackpot 7 when the game ball passes through the first gate 15 during the jackpot preparation state (time for continuing the opening and closing operation) when the jackpot is achieved. The number of operations (number of rounds) or the maximum number of winning prizes (the maximum number of winning prizes per round) is selected and made different. As a result, at least three stages (the game ball passes through the specific area 14, the game ball passes through the first gate 15, and the lottery by the lottery means 20) are determined until the big hit occurs, thereby further improving the game performance. Can do.

  The symbol control board 18 is for controlling the display of the symbol display means 5 based on a control signal from the main board 17 and displaying a predetermined symbol, a background or a character for production on the screen. As described above, the symbol display means 5 serves as notifying means 22 for notifying the player that the jackpot is being prepared in addition to the effects when the game ball jumps into the first variable winning means 12. A function is also provided.

  The notifying means 22 notifies that the jackpot is being prepared and displays the position of the first gate 15 and the second gate 16 (the first gate in which the upper gate in FIG. Display indicating that the gate is the second gate in which the jackpot preparation state disappears) to allow the player to recognize the position of each gate. Thereby, the player can recognize where the game ball should be aimed and can further improve the game performance.

  The lamp control board 19 is connected to decorative LEDs, side lamps, and glass frame lamps (all not shown) formed on the front frame 3 and the like, and controls the overturning or blinking operation of these lamps. In addition, the lamps controlled by the lamp control board 19 are provided with a notification LED as a notification means as described above, and the fact that the notification jack is on or flashing notifies that the jackpot is being prepared. The position of the first gate 15 and the second gate 16 can be notified so that the player can recognize. Note that the audio control board 20 controls the output from the speaker 11 according to the game content, or vibrates the vibration means (not shown) built in the handle 8 to audibly and tactilely. This is for producing a production effect.

Next, a control method in the pachinko gaming machine 1 configured as described above will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.
First, when it is determined in S1 that the game ball has passed through the start port 6, the blade portion 12a in the first variable winning means 12 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, about 0.5 seconds) (S2), and the game ball Is determined whether or not a prize has been won in the housing 12b (S3). If it is determined by this determination that the game ball has won in the housing portion 12b, a predetermined jumping effect display by the symbol display means 5 is performed (S4).

  Further, it is determined whether or not the game ball has passed through the specific area 14 (S5). If it is determined that the game ball has passed through the specific area 14, a jackpot preparation state occurs (S6). Then, in the jackpot preparation state, it is determined whether or not the game ball has passed through the first gate 15 (S7). If it is determined that the game ball has passed, the process proceeds to S11 and the jackpot processing is started. A lottery by the lottery means 21 (lottery for determining the operation time, the number of operations or the maximum number of winning prizes of the big winning opening 7) is performed. Then, it progresses to S12 and the big prize opening 7 act | operates according to the lottery result in S11.

  When one round in the big hit state is completed, it is determined whether or not the maximum round has been reached in S13. If it is determined that the maximum round has not been reached, the control in S12 is performed again, while the maximum round is reached. When it is determined that the jackpot has been reached, jackpot end processing is performed, and a series of controls are ended (S14). The number of rounds is determined by lottery by the lottery means 21 as described above.

  By the way, if it is determined in S7 that the game ball has not passed through the first gate 15, it is determined whether or not the game ball has passed through the second gate 16 (S8). It is determined whether or not the number of game balls that have passed through the second gate 16 has reached a predetermined number (S9). If it is determined in S8 that the game balls have not passed through the second gate 16 or that the number of game balls that have passed through the second gate 16 has not reached the predetermined number in S9, the process returns to S7 and the first again. While it is determined whether or not game balls have passed through the gate 15, if it is determined in S9 that the number of game balls that have passed through the second gate 16 has reached a predetermined number, the jackpot preparation state disappears (S10). ), Returning to S1, a series of control is performed again.

  According to the pachinko gaming machine described above, the jackpot preparation state is generated before the jackpot state occurs, so that the player can enjoy the game with a margin and avoid the loss of rights during the jackpot. Can be improved. In addition, when a predetermined number of game balls pass through the second gate 16, the jackpot preparation state disappears, so the condition for the disappearance of the jackpot preparation state becomes stricter than the condition of occurrence of the jackpot state, providing a game advantageous to the player can do.

  Although the present embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, instead of the first gate 15 and the second gate 16, a disk that rotates on the right side of the game board 4 as shown in FIG. Two holes through which a game ball can pass may be formed in the shaped member 24, and each may be used as a first region 25 and a second region 26. Note that a gate 23 through which a game ball can pass is disposed above the disk-shaped member 24, and the game ball that has passed through the gate 23 falls onto the disk-shaped member 24, and the first It is configured to enter either the region 25 or the second region 26.

  Then, as in the previous embodiment, the game ball wins the starting port 6, the blade portion 12 a in the first variable winning port 12 is opened for a predetermined time, and another game ball is in a specific area in the housing unit 12 b. When passing 14, it becomes a “big hit preparation state”. When a game ball passes through the first region 25 via the gate 23 during the jackpot preparation state, a jackpot state occurs, but before the game ball passes through the first region 25, the second region 26 When a predetermined number or one game ball passes, the jackpot preparation state is controlled to disappear.

  Here, the first area and the second area in the above two embodiments are both formed on the right side of the game board 4, but may be formed in any part of the game board 4 or The first region and the second region may be formed apart from each other. However, if the first area and the second area are formed close to each other, the lottery for generating the big hit state from the big hit preparation state can be performed according to the passing position of the game ball, and the game performance is improved. Further improvement can be achieved.

  A big hitting preparation state is generated, and when the game ball passes through the first area during the big hitting preparation state, the second variable winning means is continuously opened to obtain a big hitting state advantageous to the player. As long as the game ball passes through the second region, the pachinko gaming machine that extinguishes the jackpot preparation state can be applied even if the appearance shape is different or another function is added. it can.
