  FIG. 1 shows the appearance of a pachinko machine using the present invention. The pachinko machine 2 is connected to a main body member 3 serving as a base via a hinge portion (not shown) so that two front doors 6 including an upper door 4 and a lower door 5 are rotatable with respect to the main body member 3. Assembled. An opening 4 a is provided at the center of the upper door 4, and the opening 4 a is shielded by a light-transmitting member such as glass 7 attached to the back side of the upper door 4. In the state where the upper door 4 is closed, the game ball (game medium) flowing down the game area 21 (see FIG. 2) during the game, and the structure provided in the game area 21 open the opening 4a. Visible through the shielding glass 7. Reference numeral 8 denotes a fixing frame for fixing the main body member 3 to a game hall or the like.

  The lower door 5 is provided with a supply tray 10, an operation handle 11, and the like. In addition to the game balls being supplied to the supply tray 10 at the start of the game, the game balls flowing down the game area 21 have received a prize in one of the winning areas provided in the game area 21. A game ball as a prize ball to be paid out is accepted. Reference numeral 13 denotes a payout opening, through which a game ball as a prize ball is paid out. Reference numeral 14 denotes a discharge button operated when discharging the game ball received in the supply tray 10.

  The operation handle 11 is operated when playing a game. When the operation handle 11 is operated, the output value of the launch volume 71 (see FIG. 4) provided therein changes, and the launch strength of the game ball in the launching device 15 changes.

  As shown in FIG. 2, when the upper door 4 is opened, a game area 21 surrounded by the guide rails 20 and the like is exposed. A center accessory 22 is provided in the approximate center of the game area 21. As shown in FIG. 3, a display screen 25 a of a symbol display device (variable display device) 25 (see FIG. 8) is disposed almost at the center of the center accessory 22. This display screen 25a displays an effect during the game. In addition, when a game ball enters the start chucker 41, the variable display of the symbol is started. After the predetermined variable display, the symbol is stopped and displayed in the second hit determination unit 52 (see FIG. 4). The result is notified to the player. In the following description, the number of symbols stopped and displayed on the display screen 25a of the symbol display device 25 is assumed to be three. For example, when the second hit determination unit 51 determines that the extracted random number is a random number assigned to the hit, the display screen 25a displays, for example, “7-7-7” as follows. Three identical symbols are stopped and displayed. On the other hand, when it is determined that the random number is a random number assigned to the loss, for example, “1-4-9”, three different symbols are stopped and displayed, for example, “3-3” As in “-7”, a total of three symbols including two identical symbols and one different symbol are stopped and displayed.

  In the game area 21, the above-described center role 22 is arranged, and other structures such as an obstacle nail and a windmill, a passing chucker 30, a start chucker 31 and a winning chucker 32 (not shown) are provided. Since these structures are well known, the description thereof is omitted here.

  The game area 21 is provided with an openable movable object called an attacker (variable winning device) 33, and when the “big hit” state is reached, the above-described movable object is released, and the game ball flows down the game area 21. Wins a winning area (not shown) provided inside the movable object. The game ball is bounced by the obstacle nail or windmill, or bounced by the side wall surface of the center accessory 22 or the like, flows down the game area 21 and wins a prize area provided in the structure. Or it is collected by the out port 34.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a holding display section 36 is provided on the center accessory 22. The holding display unit 36 includes four display units 36a to 36d, and holding LEDs 110 (see FIG. 4) are arranged behind the display units 36a to 36d, respectively. In the hold display unit 36, the game ball wins the start chucker 31 during symbol variation, and the random number extracted by the first random number extraction unit 46 is determined by the first hit determination unit 50. When not stored in the determination unit 51 but stored in the RAM 40c (so-called hold), the display unit 36a emits light one by one. Similarly, each time a random number is stored in the RAM 40c, the display unit 36b, the display unit 36c, and the display unit 36d are displayed in light emission order. Further, when one of the suspensions is consumed, the light emission display of the right display part (in the case of light emission display up to the display part 36d) among the light emission display parts is stopped. . In the present embodiment, the upper limit is four.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the operation of the pachinko machine 2 is basically controlled by a microcomputer in the game control unit 40. The game control unit 40 includes a CPU 40a, a ROM 40b, and a RAM 40c. In addition, about the location which performs the lottery of whether to operate the electric tulip which is a normal symbol, it shall be abbreviate | omitted.

  The CPU 40a includes a control unit 45, a first random number extraction unit 46, a second random number extraction unit 47, a third random number extraction unit 48, a fourth random number extraction unit 49, a first hit determination unit (first determination means) 50, a second Hit determination unit (second determination unit) 51, result determination unit (result determination unit) 52, notification determination unit (notification determination unit) 53, first stop mode determination unit (first display mode determination unit) 54, second stop The mode determination unit (second display mode determination means) 55 is configured. The control unit 31 controls the gaming state of the pachinko machine based on the game control program stored in the ROM 30b.

  The first random number extraction unit 46 extracts a random number in response to the game ball winning the start chucker 31 and outputs the extracted random number to the control unit 45.

  The first hit determination unit 50 operates when the symbol variable display on the symbol display device 25 is not performed, the random number extracted by the first random number extraction unit 46, and the first determination table stored in the ROM 40b. 60, it is determined whether or not to win. Further, the variable display in the symbol display device 25 is stopped, and the random number stored in the RAM (first storage means) 40c is operated, and whether or not it is hit from the first determination table 60 stored in the ROM 40b. To decide. Based on the determination result, the control unit (stop mode determining means) 45 determines the variation pattern to be displayed on the display screen 25a of the symbol display device 25 from the variation pattern table 61, and refers to the symbol table 62, A symbol (stop display mode) to be stopped after variable display is determined. In addition, when the determination result in the second hit determination unit 51 is lost and either one of the first stop flag or the second stop flag described later is stored in the RAM 40c, the control unit (stop display mode replacement) Means) 45 invalidates the stop symbol pattern determined based on the determination result in the first hit determination unit 50, and refers to the symbol table 62 so as to be the stop display mode based on the flag stored in the RAM 40c. The stop display mode is determined.

  When the variable display is performed on the symbol display device 25, the second hit determination unit 51 operates in response to winning of the game ball in the start chucker 31, and the extracted random number and the first random number stored in the ROM 40b are stored. From the 1 determination table 60, only the determination of whether or not it is “big hit”, so-called pre-read determination is performed. In the case of winning in this determination, a winning flag (winning flag) is stored in the RAM (second storage means) 40c.

  The result determination unit 52 is provided to determine whether or not the winning flag is stored in the RAM 40c when the game ball wins the start chucker 31.

  The second random number extraction unit 47 operates in response to the determination result in the result determination unit 52, and extracts a random number for notification. The extracted notification random number is output to the control unit 45.

  The notification determination unit 53 is provided to determine whether or not to notify that the winning flag is stored in the RAM 40c. The notification determination unit 53 refers to the second determination table 63 stored in the ROM 40b to determine whether or not the notification random number extracted by the second random number extraction unit 47 is a winning random number. . If the determination is successful, the control unit 45 outputs a notification start signal to the lamp control device 101 and the sound control device 102. Note that the extraction of the random number for notification in the second random number extraction unit 47 and the determination in the notification determination unit 53 are referred to as notification lottery in the flowchart of the figure.

  The third random number extraction unit 48 operates in response to the determination result from the notification determination unit 53 and extracts the first stop display random number.

  When the determination of the first hit determination unit 50 using the reserved random number results in a loss, the first stop mode determination unit 54 uses the same two symbols that are stopped and displayed on the symbol display device 25. It is provided to determine whether or not a stop display mode consisting of one different symbol, a so-called reach eye (first stop mode). The first stop mode determination unit 54 refers to the third determination table 64 stored in the ROM 40b, and the first stop display random number extracted by the third random number extraction unit 48 is a random number to win. It is determined whether or not. If this determination is a win, the control unit 45 stores a first stop flag with the stop symbol as a reach in the RAM 40c. The first stop flag is initialized when variable display corresponding to the winning random number is started. Note that the extraction of the first stop display random number in the third random number extraction unit 48 and the determination of whether or not the first stop mode determination unit 54 is successful is referred to as a first stop symbol lottery shown in the following flowchart.

  The fourth random number extraction unit 49 operates when there is no winning flag in the RAM 40c or when the first stop mode determination unit 54 loses, and extracts the second stop display random number.

  When the determination of the first hit determination unit 50 using the reserved random number results in a loss, the second stop mode determination unit 55 displays a symbol that is stopped and displayed on the symbol display device 25 as a combination of symbols that are lost. Among them, whether or not to use a stop display mode different from the reach and a stop display mode consisting of three consecutive numbers such as “1-2-3”, a so-called chance eye (second stop mode). Provided to determine. The second stop mode determination unit 55 refers to the fourth determination table 65 stored in the ROM 40b, and the second stop display random number extracted by the fourth random number extraction unit 49 is a random number to win. It is determined whether or not. When this determination is a win, the control unit 45 stores a second stop flag with the stop symbol as a chance in the RAM 40c. The second stop flag is initialized when the symbol variation corresponding to the winning random number is started. Note that the extraction of the first stop display random number in the fourth random number extraction unit 49 and the determination of whether or not the second stop mode determination unit 55 is successful is referred to as a second stop symbol lottery shown in the flowchart of the drawing.

  If either the first stop flag or the second stop flag stored in the RAM 40c is stored and the other stop flag is stored, the flag stored in the RAM 40c first is the initial flag. It becomes. In addition, when one of these flags is stored in the RAM 40c, if the second hit determination unit 51 determines that it is a win, the flag stored in the RAM 40c is initialized.

  In addition to the table described above, the ROM 40b stores a game control program, a control program for a random number generation processing program, and the like in predetermined areas, and these are used as appropriate by the CPU 40a and the like.

  The RAM 40c serves as a working area and is used for temporary storage or rewriting of data used for each game. Further, as described above, the random number extracted during the symbol variation in the symbol display device 25 and the flag described above are temporarily stored.

  The firing control device 70 activates the firing device 15 in response to the operation handle 11 being operated. The output value of the launch volume 71 changes depending on the operation amount of the operation handle 11. In response to the output from the launch volume 71, the launch control device 70 controls the launch device 15 so that the launch strength is in accordance with the output value of the launch volume 71.

  The payout control device 85 operates when a game ball wins in any of the winning areas of the start chucker 31, the winning chucker 32, or the attacker 33. Then, the payout control device 85 operates the payout device 86 to pay out a predetermined number of game balls in accordance with winning a prize to the supply tray 10 as prize balls.

  When the movable object control device 90 is a stop display mode in which the symbols stopped and displayed after the variable display of the symbols in the symbol control device 25 is a stop display mode in which, for example, all the stopped symbols become the same symbol, The operation control of the attacker 33 is performed.

  The game control unit 40 includes a passing ball detection sensor 95 provided in the passing chucker 30, a starting winning ball detection sensor 96 provided in the start chucker 31, a normal winning ball detection sensor 97 provided in the winning chucker 32, and an attacker 33. A signal from an attacker winning ball detection sensor 98 provided in is input. Based on these input signals, a signal is output to the above-described payout control device 85, and signals are output to the symbol control device 100, the lamp control device 101, and the sound control device 102.

  The symbol control device 100 receives the symbol variation signal from the game control unit 40 and performs symbol display control in the symbol display device 25 during variable display and stop display. Since a variation pattern is determined in advance in the game control unit 40, when the symbol confirmation signal is output from the game control unit 40 to the symbol control device 100 at the timing when the variation pattern ends, the symbol control device 100 It is confirmed whether the symbol stopped and displayed matches the symbol determined by the game control unit 40.

  The lamp control device 101 receives the output signal from the control unit 45 and controls the lighting of the first hold LED 110 disposed behind the hold display unit 36. Further, the lamp control device 101 performs light emission control of the frame door side illumination 111 provided on the front door 5 and the board surface side illumination 112 provided on the game board 4 as effects during the game. When the determination by the notification determination unit 53 results in a determination result indicating that there is a winning flag in the RAM 40c, the lamp control device 101 uses the light emitting unit 31a (see FIG. 3) provided in the start chuck 31. The production LED provided on the back side is caused to emit light.

  The voice control device 102 receives an output signal from the control unit 45 and controls output of the speaker 120 and the like provided on the main body member 3 and the front door 6. When the determination by the notification determination unit 53 results in a determination result indicating that there is a winning flag in the RAM 40c, the voice control device 102 confirms that the winning flag is stored in the RAM 40c from the speaker 120 described above. The sound shown (so-called direct hit sound) is reproduced.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko machine of the present invention will be described based on the flowcharts of FIGS. FIG. 5 shows a case where no random number is stored in the RAM 40c and variable display in the symbol display device is not performed. When playing a game, a game ball is supplied to the supply tray 10 and the operation handle 11 is operated. Since the output value of the launch volume 71 is changed by the operation of the operation handle 11, the launch control device 70 controls the launch device 15 so that the launch strength according to the output value of the launch volume 71 is obtained. To do. Thereby, a game ball is launched toward the game area 21.

  When the launch of the game ball is started, the launched game ball flows down from above the game area 21. The game balls flow down the game area 21 while being played by obstacle nails, windmills and the like disposed in the game area 21, and pass the passing chucker 30, win the start chucker 31, or win the winning chucker 32. Or, it is collected from the out port 34 without winning in these winning ports. When winning the start chucker 31 or winning chucker 32, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out as winning balls.

  For example, when a game ball wins a start chucker, a detection signal from the start winning ball detection sensor 95 is output to the control unit 45. The control unit 45 operates the first random number extraction unit 46. In response to this, the first random number extraction unit 46 extracts random numbers. The control unit 45 operates the first hit determination unit 50 and the second hit determination unit 51 when the symbol variation start signal is not output to the symbol control unit 70. The first hit determination unit 50 and the second hit determination unit 51 use the first determination table 60 to determine whether or not the extracted random number is a winning random number. Then, the stop display mode and the variation pattern of the symbol variation based on the determination result by the second hit determination unit 51 are determined with reference to the symbol table 62 and the variation pattern table 61, and the symbol control device 100 determines the determined variation. After the symbols are displayed on the display screen 25a of the symbol display device 25 using the pattern, the symbols are stopped and displayed in the determined stop display mode.

  The symbol that is stopped and displayed on the display surface 25a of the symbol display device 25 indicates the result of the above determination. Therefore, for example, when the second hit determination unit 51 makes a winning determination, the stop display is performed. The aspect is a combination of symbols such as “7-7-7”. Further, in the case of loss, the stop display mode is, for example, a combination of symbols “1-4-3”. Since the stop display mode displayed on the display screen 25a of the symbol display device 25 is “7-7-7”, for example, it is a win, so the gaming state is changed from the normal gaming state to the “big hit” state. Transition. In the case of the symbol combination “1-4-3”, the game state is lost, and the normal gaming state continues.

  When shifting to the “big hit” state, the controller 45 operates the movable object control device 90 to open the attacker 34. The attacker 34 opens at one end and closes when it is opened for a predetermined time or when a predetermined number of game balls are won. When this operation is performed a predetermined number of times, for example, the “big hit” state is terminated. When the attacker 34 is opened, the big prize opening is exposed, and it becomes easier for the game balls to enter the big prize opening, so the percentage of winning is higher than in the normal gaming state, and many prize balls are obtained. be able to. When the “big hit” state ends, the game state shifts to a normal gaming state.

  Even during variable display of symbols on the symbol display device 25, the player operates the operation handle 11 to launch game balls, so that the game balls flowing down the game area 21 win the start chucker 31. There is. In this case, the control unit 45 operates the first random number extraction unit 46 to extract random numbers. When the number of random numbers stored in the RAM 40c is less than the upper limit, the extracted random numbers are temporarily stored in the RAM 40c, and one display on the hold display unit is caused to emit light. At the same time, the second hit determination unit 51 is operated to perform prefetch determination of the extracted random number. If the result of this prefetch determination is a win, the winning flag is stored in the RAM 40c. On the other hand, when the number of stored random numbers reaches the upper limit, the random numbers extracted by the first random number extraction unit 46 are invalidated for subsequent winnings, and only the payout of the prize balls by the payout device 62 is executed. .

  The control unit 45 receives the determination result of the second hit determination unit 51 and operates the result determination unit 51. The result determination unit 51 determines whether or not there is a winning flag in the RAM 40c. If there is a winning flag in the RAM 40c in this determination, the control unit 45 activates the second random number extraction unit 47 and the notification determination unit 53. The notification determination unit 53 determines whether to notify that the RAM 40c is hit from the notification random number extracted by the second random number extraction unit 47 and the second determination table 63. When it is determined to be notified by this determination, the control unit 45 stores a notification flag in the RAM 40 c and outputs a notification start signal to the lamp control device 10 and the sound control device 102. In response to this, for example, the production LED 113 is caused to emit light, and the light emitting portion 31a of the start chucker 31 is caused to emit light, or a direct hit sound is reproduced from the speaker 120. This notifies the player that there is a winning random number among the random numbers stored in the RAM 40c. When it is determined not to be notified by the notification determination unit 53, the lighting of the effect LED 113 and the reproduction of the direct hit sound by the speaker 120 are not performed. When these notifications are made, the notification flag stored in the RAM 40c is initialized.

  Regardless of the result of the notification determination unit 53, the control unit 45 operates the third random number extraction unit 48 and the first stop mode determination unit 54 in the stop display after the variable display using the stored random number. It is determined whether or not the stop display mode is a reach eye. When the first stop mode determination unit 54 determines to display the reach eye, the control unit 45 stores the first stop flag in the RAM 40c. In addition, when the 2nd stop flag is memorize | stored in RAM40c, this 2nd stop flag is initialized and a 1st stop flag is memorize | stored.

  On the other hand, when the stop display mode in the stop display after the variable display using the stored random number is not set as the reach by the determination in the first stop mode determination unit 54, the control unit 45 includes the fourth random number extraction unit 49. And the second stop display mode determination unit 55 are operated. With this operation, it is determined whether or not the stop display mode in the stop display after variable display using the stored random number is a chance. When the second stop mode determination unit 55 determines to display the chance eye, the control unit 45 stores the second stop flag in the RAM 40c. In addition, when the 1st stop flag is memorize | stored in RAM40c, this 1st stop flag is initialized and a 2nd stop flag is memorize | stored. Also, when the result determination unit 52 determines that the winning flag is not stored in the RAM 40c, the control unit 45 operates the fourth random number extraction unit 49 and the second stop display mode determination unit 55 to store them. It is determined whether or not the stop display mode in the stop display after the variable display using the random number is a chance.

  When the stop display mode to be stopped and displayed on the symbol display device 25 is a chance, it is determined whether or not the stop flag is stored in the RAM 40c. If the stop flag is not stored, the second display is stored in the RAM 40c. Store the stop flag. If the first stop flag is stored in the RAM 40c, the second stop flag is stored after the first stop flag is initialized. On the other hand, when the determination result of the second stop display determination unit 55 is a determination that it is not a chance, the process is stopped. This series of processing is performed each time a game ball wins the start chucker 31.

  When the stop display is performed on the symbol display device 25, the control unit 45 operates the first hit determination unit 50. The first hit determination unit 50 compares the random number stored in the past among the random numbers stored in the RAM 40c with the first determination table 60 stored in the ROM 40b, and determines whether or not it is a hit. In response to this determination result, the control unit 45 refers to the symbol table 62 and the variation pattern table 61 to determine a variation pattern in variable display and a stop symbol to be a stop display mode.

  When the determination result of the first hit determination unit 50 is lost, the control date 45 determines whether the first stop flag or the second stop flag is stored in the RAM 40c. When the stop flag is stored, the determined stop symbol is initialized, and the stop display is made with reference to the symbol table 62 so that the stop display mode is based on the stop flag stored in the RAM 40c. Determine the design.

  For example, when the first stop flag is stored, the control unit 45 determines that reach reach such as “2-1-2” or “7-6-7” is determined as the stop display mode and is variable. It becomes a stop display mode in the stop display after the display. Further, when the second stop flag is stored, the control unit 45 determines that the chance eye such as “1-2-3” or “7-8-9” is determined as the stop display mode and is variable. It becomes a stop display mode in the stop display after the display. The stop flag stored in the RAM 40c is stored in the RAM 40c as it is, and is rewritten to the determined stop flag when the first stop symbol lottery or the second stop symbol lottery described above is performed.

  In addition, when the start winning is not performed after the stop flag is stored in the RAM 40c, when the number of random numbers has reached the upper limit in the RAM 40c, or when the first stop symbol lottery and the second stop symbol lottery are not won In this case, the first display flag or the second display flag is continuously stored in the RAM 40c. In this case, in the case where the continuation of the loss is determined in the determination by the first hit determination unit 50, for example, when the first stop flag is stored on the display surface 25a of the symbol display device 25, “5-6-5”. ”,“ 1-0-1 ”, and other stop displays are continuously displayed every time variable display is performed. Similarly, when the second display flag continues to be stored in the RAM 40c, the display screen 25a of the symbol display device 25 has a chance such as “1-2-3” or “7-8-9”. The stop display is continuously displayed every time variable display is performed. On the other hand, when the display flag stored in the RAM 40c is switched, for example, reach eye → chance eye or chance eye → reach eye stop display.

  Thereby, for example, when winning in the start chucker 31 and there is a winning flag in the RAM 40c, the light emitting unit 31a of the start chucker 31 emits light and the direct hit sound is reproduced from the speaker 120. You can recognize that there is a flag. In addition, even when the light emitting unit 31a of the start chucker 31 emits light or the direct hit sound is not reproduced from the speaker 120, the stop display mode that is stopped and displayed on the display screen 25a of the symbol display device 25 becomes the reach and chance. In some cases, or when these stop display modes are continuous, the subsequent stop display may be a win, so the production pattern can be diversified. In addition, since the meaning can be given to the stop display mode, the player's interest is invited to the stop display mode at the time of production, and the interest in the game or the game itself can be improved.

  For example, when the determination result of the first hit determination unit 50 is a win, the control unit 45 determines whether or not the first stop flag or the second stop flag is stored in the RAM 40c, and is stored. In the case, the stored stop flag is initialized.

  FIG. 8 shows an example in which a storage medium (magnetic disk, flexible disk, IC memory, etc.) 130 is installed in a pachinko machine. The storage medium 130 is shown in the functional block diagram of FIG. 4 or the flowcharts of FIGS. A program for realizing such means by the pachinko machine 133 including the CPU 131 and the memory 132 is stored. In this case, the first determination means for determining whether the game medium struck into the game area wins or loses using the extracted random number, and the variable display and stop triggered by the start winning In addition to the means for controlling the variable display unit that performs display and the stop display mode determination unit that determines the stop display mode to be displayed on the variable display unit based on the determination result of the first determination unit, the variable display unit A second determination means for determining whether the game medium struck into the game area uses a random number extracted by winning the start or lose when the variable display is performed in the game unit, and the variable When variable display is performed on the display unit, when the first storage means for storing the random number used in the second determination means and the determination result in the second determination means are winning The second storage means for storing the determination result, the result determination means for determining whether or not there is a determination result that hits the second storage means in response to the start winning, and the second determination means by the result determination means.
