Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko machine in which a “right” that is advantageous to a player is generated according to the type of identification information displayed on a display device based on a winning in a predetermined winning opening.

  Some pachinko machines are provided with a device for displaying predetermined identification information on the game board, and there are models in which the winning probability increases by a predetermined time according to the type of identification information. It is used in all types of the third type.

  In this type of pachinko machine, for example, when a pachinko ball (hereinafter referred to as a launch ball) fired on a game board by a launcher wins a special start opening provided on the surface of the game board or passes a special start area, Is started.

  When the special game is started, the special display device variably displays a plurality of types of special identification information for a predetermined fluctuation display time, and the special display device stops any of the special identification information so that it can be seen for a predetermined stop display time. Display (hereinafter, stop display). Special identification information is mainly composed of numbers, letters, pictures, symbols, and the like.

  During the special game, when the special identification information stopped and displayed on the special display device is a predetermined specific thing or a specific combination, the variable winning ball apparatus provided on the game board surface is normally closed. The large winning opening is continuously opened for a predetermined time, generally about 30 seconds or until 10 firing balls are won in the large winning opening.

  Therefore, it becomes easier for the launch ball to enter the big prize opening of the variable winning ball apparatus, and the winning probability of the launch ball is increased by a predetermined time from the normal time, so that a “right” advantageous to the player is generated. "", The player can exercise "rights" by making the launch ball win a prize.

  The “right” generated based on the special identification information stopped or displayed on the special display device or the combination thereof is hereinafter referred to as “special right” and is stopped and displayed to generate the “special right”. A combination of special identification information or special identification information that is stopped and displayed is hereinafter referred to as special right generation information.

  In general, the special right generation information is a specific number, symbol, or character (for example, a so-called “7”) when the number of display columns is one, and the same special identification information when the number of display columns is a plurality of columns. Or, a combination of specific characters such as “pine”, “bamboo”, and “plum” is the mainstream.

  In addition, during the exercise of “special rights”, if a launch ball that wins a specific area, such as a grand prize opening, passes the continuous prize area (continuous prize opening) within the big prize opening, the “special rights” will be updated, After the “special right” generated at that time ends, the special winning opening is continuously opened only once for a predetermined time.

  The number of renewals of “special rights” is the mainstream with a maximum of 15 models. If “special rights” occurs once and that is also considered as the number of renewals of “special rights”, a total of 16 The number of “special rights” can be exercised in total.

  While exercising "Special Rights", it consists of the number of shots won in the grand prize opening, whether or not "Special Rights" can be renewed, the total number of renewals of "Special Rights", etc., and varies with the exercise of "Special Rights" The special right exercise information is displayed on the special display device.

  Furthermore, a normal display region (normal start port) different from the special start port is provided in the game board, and the normal display device that operates based on the passage (or winning) of the shot ball to the normal start region is designated as the special display device. There is a model in which a normal game different from a special game is started by providing the game board separately.

  This normal game is started by variably displaying a plurality of types of normal identification information for a predetermined normal change time based on the passage of the shot ball to the normal start area. After the normal variation time elapses, any normal identification information is stopped and displayed on the normal display device for a predetermined time.

  When the ordinary identification information stopped and displayed on the ordinary display device is unique ordinary identification information (hereinafter, ordinary right generation information), an ordinary electric accessory such as a so-called electric tulip is operated for a predetermined time, and at one time. From the closed state where only one ball can be won, the game is shifted to the open state.

  As a result, compared to the case where the ordinary electric accessory is in a closed state, the fired ball is easier to win the ordinary electric accessory, which is advantageous for the player, and is different from the above-mentioned “special rights”. “Ordinary rights” will be generated.

  When this "ordinary right" is generated, the ordinary electric utility is generally only opened for about 5 to 6 seconds at the maximum, and when the ordinary right generation information is displayed on the ordinary display device during the ordinary game, The “ordinary right” is generated only once per display, and the “ordinary right” is not updated like the “special right” described above.

  In order to exercise “normal rights”, the open electric motors are allowed to win the launch ball, but “normal rights” are compared to “special rights” in terms of time of occurrence and renewal. In view of this, it can be seen that the number of prize balls obtained by exercising is absolutely small, and the degree of advantage is lower than “special rights”.

  Therefore, the probability of occurrence of the “special right”, in other words, the special display probability that the special display device stops displaying the special right occurrence information is about “1/300” to “1/200”. The probability of occurrence of “ordinary rights”, that is, the ordinary display probability that the ordinary display device stops displaying ordinary rights occurrence information is set to be “1/50” to “1/20”, which is larger than the special display probability. .

  Such pachinko machines include models that vary the probability of occurrence of one or both of “ordinary rights” and “special rights”.

  In this type of pachinko machine, in general, “special right” is specified as the special right occurrence information of the special right occurrence information, for example, “7” or “3” is closed and displayed. If it occurs based on the situation, one or both of the normal display probability and the special display probability fluctuate after the “special right” disappears until the next or subsequent occurrence of the “special right”.

  For example, if the variation of the normal display probability is described as an example, the normal display probability includes a plurality of types of normal probabilities, for example, relatively higher probabilities (hereinafter, the normal first probability to 1/2, for example), and relatively There is a lower probability (hereinafter, the normal second probability to 1/20, for example), and the normal first probability value is set to, for example, about 10 times the normal second probability value.

  For models with special display probabilities, there are relatively higher probabilities (hereinafter referred to as special first probability to 1/50, for example) and relatively lower probabilities (hereinafter referred to as special second probability to, for example, 1/300). In this case, the special first probability value is, for example, about 4 to 6 times the special second probability value.

  By playing with such a model, the probability of occurrence of one or both of “ordinary rights” and “special rights” will increase after the exercise, that is, the current situation. The player is given an opportunity to form a “further advantageous state”.

  Whether or not this “more advantageous state” is formed after the exercise of “special rights” depends on the type of special right occurrence information that is suspended and displayed on the special display device, so the special right occurrence information is suspended. When the display is completed, the player will recognize it.

For this reason, the conventional pachinko machine described above has the following problems.
That is, when the “special right” is generated (determined), if the type of the special right generation information corresponds to a normal game to be executed, for example, under the normal first probability, the player is normally under the second probability. Therefore, there is a sense of expectation for payout of prize balls that will increase compared to the case where it is implemented.

  On the other hand, when the type of special right generation information corresponds to a normal game that is executed under the normal second probability, it is compared with the normal game that is executed under the normal first probability. The number of holding balls increases.

  Therefore, if the occurrence of “special rights” is determined based on the display of the special identification information corresponding to the ordinary game to be executed under the normal second probability, the “special rights” that are advantageous to the player are also generated. Regardless, the number of balls lost per unit time after the extinction of the “special rights” that occurred at that time was predicted, and as a result, there was a problem that the game motivation was reduced.

  The problem of the present invention is that even if both the normal display probability and the special display probability change after the end of the “special right”, the fact that the “special right” is generated (determined) cannot be recognized. Is to provide.

In order to achieve the above-described object, the present invention provides a predetermined special display for any one of a plurality of types of special identification information determined in advance according to the passage of a pachinko ball to a special start area provided on a game board surface. A special display device is provided for visually indicating stoppage under probability.
In a normal state, a state in which a prize cannot be won is not taken in, and special special information that is stopped and displayed on the special display device is predetermined special right generation information. Providing a variable winning ball apparatus that forms a winning possible state in which a pachinko ball can be easily taken in from the incapable winning state based on the occurrence of the "special right",
According to the passage of the pachinko ball to the normal starting area provided in advance on the game board surface, any one of a plurality of predetermined types of normal identification information is stopped and displayed with a predetermined normal display probability. Provide a normal display device,
When the ordinary identification information to be stopped and displayed on the ordinary display device is predetermined ordinary right generation information, an ordinary electric accessory that generates a “ordinary right” lower than the “special right” is provided. ,
Furthermore, a fluctuation information counter and a big role counter that determines whether or not to generate a “special right” are generated, and the “special right” is generated from the big role counter based on the passage of the pachinko ball to the special starting area. Based on the capture of the count value, it is determined whether the variation condition is satisfied by capturing the count value from the variation information counter,
In response to the occurrence of the “special right”, if a predetermined variable condition is satisfied, at least from the extinction of the “special right” occurring at that time until the next generation of the “special right” A probability changing means for changing the display probability of one or both of the special display probability and the normal display probability to a display probability of a value different from the probability value;
Whether the occurrence probability of both “special rights” and “ordinary rights”, “special rights” only, or “ordinary rights” only is changed according to the count value fetched from the variation information counter A lottery means for performing selection, and providing a lottery means for changing the display probability by the probability fluctuation means,
Information display means is provided for displaying a determination indicating whether or not the variation condition determined according to the count value fetched from the variation information counter is satisfied, immediately before the disappearance of the “special right”. Characteristic pachinko machine.

The present invention includes a variation information counter and a big role counter to determine whether or not the variation condition is satisfied. If the variation condition is satisfied, the probability variation means varies the probability, but the variation condition is satisfied. The change information for displaying whether or not the “special right” is extinguished is displayed by the information display means.
Therefore, a sense of expectation for an increase in the number of prize balls obtained when the probability of occurrence of “special rights” is raised can be held separately from the exercise of “special rights”, and the game motivation is improved.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a configuration of a main part of a pachinko machine according to the present invention. A special display device 1 shown by a broken line in FIG. 1 includes a special display 2 composed of an LCD color panel, and the pachinko machine shown in FIGS. It is arranged on the game board 4 surface of the machine 3.

Various displays by the special display device 2 are controlled by a special display circuit 5 as a special display means shown in FIG. 1, and a drive circuit (not shown) is provided in the special display circuit 5 for display control on the special display device 2. Built in.
The special indicator 2 displays various information so that the player can visually recognize the special game, the normal game different from the special game, and the special game and the normal pachinko gaming state in which the normal game is not executed. For this purpose, the game board 4 is arranged directly below the top entrance 6 provided in the center of the four sides of the game board.

  The special display 2 displays a demonstration screen (hereinafter referred to as a demo) different from the special identification information and various messages as a moving image or a still image in a normal pachinko gaming state.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the special identification information is composed of a total of 20 types of numbers and specific designs, that is, dragons, jewels, jewelry boxes, swords, keys, etc., as shown in FIGS. The display surface 2 is equally divided into one third of the left, middle and right columns, and special identification information is displayed by the special display circuit 5 for each column.

  The left column of the special indicator 2 corresponds to the special identification information of FIG. 4, the middle column corresponds to the special identification information of FIG. 5, and the right column corresponds to the special identification information of FIG. The special identification information is stopped and displayed in each column (see FIGS. 7 to 9).

  A special start port 7 as a special start region is provided below and at the center of the special display device 1, and a special start port 8 is provided as a special start region directly above the special start port 7. A pair of special start ports 8, 8 are also provided on both sides as a special start area.

  Although the special start port 7 is a well-known technique, it is composed of a so-called electric tulip. Although details will be described later, the special starting port 7 also functions as a normal electric accessory as in the past.

  Both of the pair of special start ports 8 and 8 have the same configuration as a normal winning port. Further, a pair of normal starting areas 9, 9 are disposed on both sides of the special display device 1 (see FIG. 3).

  Each of the special start ports 7 and 8 is provided with a special start switch 10 shown in FIG. 1, and a special start detection circuit 11 is connected to these special start switches 10.

  When any of the special start switches 10 detects the winning of a shot ball, the special start detection circuit 11 inputs the detection signal to the MPU 13 through the interface circuit 12, and the MPU 13 plays a special game whose details will be described later. A control signal for starting is generated.

  The special display device 1 is provided with an interface circuit 14, and the MPU 13 and the special display circuit 5 are connected to each other via the interface circuit 14 so that a control signal generated from the MPU 13 can be detected. Can do.

  Thereby, the special display device 1 can start the special game by the special display circuit 5 based on the winning at the special start ports 7 and 8. A launch ball that has won a prize at any of the special start ports 7 and 8 is referred to as a special start prize ball.

  The special game in the present embodiment is a so-called first-type pachinko game. When the special game is started based on a winning at any one of the special start ports 7 and 8, the special display circuit 5 has a plurality of types of special identification. In FIG. 3, the moving image that scrolls from top to bottom in FIG. 3 is stopped and displayed on the special display 2.

  When the moving image is continued for a predetermined variable display time, the variable display is stopped, and any special identification information from a plurality of types of special identification information is displayed by the special display circuit 5 for a predetermined stop display time. The special display 2 is stopped and displayed in a visible manner in any of the middle left and right columns (hereinafter referred to as stop display).

  Since the MPU 13 and the special display circuit 5 are communicably connected via the interface circuit 14, the MPU 13 can identify the type of special identification information to be stopped and displayed on the special display 2.

  When the special identification information is visibly displayed on the special display 2 and the MPU 13 identifies the type of the special identification information and determines that the special identification information is predetermined, the MPU 13 displays “special rights”. generate.

  The above-mentioned special identification information for generating the “special right” is hereinafter referred to as “special right generation information”. In the present embodiment, the same special identification information is provided by the special indicator 2 in each of the left middle and right columns. The case where the suspension is displayed is defined in “Special Rights Generation Information”.

  For example, in the example shown in FIG. 8, the special identification information “3” is stopped and displayed on the diagonal line on the upper right in the middle of the left and right columns in the special indicator 2 in the example shown in FIG. Shows the case where the special identification information “Ryu” is stopped and displayed in all the middle left and right columns to constitute “Special Rights Occurrence Information”.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a normal start switch 15 is provided in the normal start areas 9 and 9, and a normal start detection circuit 16 is connected to the normal start switch 15. The special start switch 10 and the normal start switch 15 are each composed of a known proximity switch.

  When any of the normal start switches 15 detects the winning of the shot ball, the normal start detection circuit 16 inputs the detection signal to the MPU 13 via the interface circuit 12, and the MPU 13 A control signal for starting is generated and input to the normal display device 17 shown in FIG.

  Subsequently, the normal display device 17 includes a normal display 18 disposed immediately below the top prize winning opening 6 shown in FIG. 3, and starts a normal game. This normal display 18 is comprised of a single digit "7 segment" LED (or LCD) display element.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the normal display device 17 includes a normal display circuit 19, a probability control circuit 20, and a variation condition determination circuit 21, and the probability control circuit 20 and the variation condition determination circuit 21 include types of normal identification information. Infinite counters are provided for determining the values.

  The normal display circuit 19 is provided with a driver for causing the normal display information to be displayed on the normal display 18, and after the normal identification information is displayed in a variable state for a predetermined variation display time in the normal game, the infinite counters of both circuits 20 and 21 are displayed. One of the normal identification information determined by one is stopped and displayed on the normal display 18 under a predetermined normal display probability.

  Further, the probability control circuit 20 and the fluctuation condition determination circuit 21 and the MPU 13 are connected so as to be able to communicate with each other. The MPU 13 determines the type of the normal identification information to be stopped and displayed on the normal display 18 by the normal display circuit 19. Identification can be made based on one of the count values taken from one of the infinite counters of the circuits 20 and 21.

  In the normal game in this embodiment, immediately after the start of the normal game, when the normal display device 17 detects the passage of the shot ball to the normal start area 9, the normal display circuit 19 displays “0-9” as normal identification information on the normal display 16. ”Is displayed in a light-emitting manner, and other normal identification information different from that displayed at that time is sequentially displayed at a predetermined display cycle.

  This is referred to as fluctuation display of normal identification information, and the display cycle of the above-described normal identification information is set to be short enough to prevent visual confirmation in the present embodiment. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the period for displaying the normal identification information on the normal display 16 on the normal display 16 or changing the normal identification information on the normal display 16 may be set to a visible time.

  When the variable display of the normal identification information is continued for a predetermined variable display time (for example, 1 minute), the variable display of the normal identification information is stopped.

  Subsequently, the normal display circuit 19 displays the normal identification information corresponding to the count value on the normal display 18 based on the count value taken from one of the infinite counters of both the circuits 20 and 21 for a predetermined stop display time (for example, 2 For a second).

  In this embodiment, the infinite counter of the probability control circuit 20 loops in the range of “0” to “19”, and the infinite counter of the fluctuation condition determination circuit 21 loops in the range of “0” to “99”. Counts up by "1" every 4msec.

  When the count value fetched by the MPU 13 from the infinite counter of the probability control circuit 20 is “3”, the normal right generation information is stopped and displayed on the normal display 16, and the normal display probability, that is, the generation probability of “normal right” Is 1/20.

  On the other hand, when the count value taken from the infinite counter of the variable condition determination circuit 21 is an even number (including “0”), the normal right occurrence information is stopped and displayed, that is, the occurrence probability of “normal right”. Is set to 1/2.

  From the above, the value of the normal display probability in the present embodiment, in other words, the probability value that the normal identification information stopped and displayed on the normal display 18 is the normal right occurrence information is either 1/20 or 1/2. I know that there is.

  Of the normal display probabilities, the probability that the value is higher (= 1/2) is hereinafter referred to as the normal first probability, and the probability that it is lower (= 1/20 <1/2 = normal first probability) is These are usually referred to as second probabilities, which are set to one based on the MPU 13 selecting either the probability control circuit 20 or the variation condition determination circuit 21.

  In this embodiment, the ordinary right generation information is “7”, and the other ordinary identification information is composed of “0” to “6”, “8” and “9”, and alphabets.

  When the normal identification information is displayed based on the normal first probability, the MPU 13 emits and displays the fact through the interface circuit 12 and the display driver circuit 22 by the high probability display 23 including a lamp (FIG. 1). Or see FIG.

  In the present embodiment, the MPU 13 captures the count value from the probability control circuit 20 and a second-ranked second counter, which will be described later, in the case where a later-described variation condition is not satisfied and in the initial state.

  When a variation condition described later is satisfied, the MPU 13 takes in the count value from the variation condition determination circuit 21 and displays the normal identification information based on the normal first probability via the normal display circuit 19.

  Although details will be described later, whether or not the variable condition is satisfied is determined almost immediately after the “special right generation information” is stopped and displayed on the special display device 1 for the player immediately after the generation of the “special right” is determined. The variation information counter is determined according to the count value fetched by the variation condition determination circuit 21 from the variation information counter (not shown). The variation information counter is one of a plurality of infinite counters (not shown) provided in the MPU 13.

  These infinite counters are provided with software by the MPU 13 and are used for determining the type of special identification information and determining whether or not the variation condition is satisfied. The configuration of the MPU 13 infinite counter will be described below.

  First, the first and second counters of the major actors that determine whether or not to generate “special rights”, the specific counter that determines the type of “special rights occurrence information”, and special identification information different from “special rights occurrence information” And a variation information counter for determining whether or not a variation condition is satisfied and a variation information type to be described later.

  The change information is displayed on the special display 2 by the information display circuit 24 together with the special right exercise information during the occurrence of the “special right”.

  The information on the exercise of special rights in this embodiment includes the number of winning balls in the grand prize winning slot 29 at the time of exercising “special rights”, the total number of exercises of “special rights” (hereinafter referred to as the number of exercises), and the occurrence of “special rights”. It consists of possible remaining time and whether or not “special rights” can be updated.

  In other words, the special right exercise information changes as the pachinko ball is awarded to the open grand opening 29 during the exercise of the “special right”. Displayed visually.

  Next, each infinite counter of the MPU 13 will be described. First of all, the MP1 is incremented by “1” at the MPU 13 in a predetermined cycle, 4 msec in the present embodiment, and the actor 1 counter is in the range of “0” to “49”. The 2 counter loops in the range of “0” to “255”.

  Then, when the special start switch 10 detects the special start winning ball, the MPU 13 takes in the count value at the time of detection from only one of the first and second major counters, and is taken in either counter. When the count value is “7”, the “special right” is generated by the MPU 13.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the probability that the special right occurrence information is stopped and displayed on the special display 2 is set to “1/50” when the count value is taken in from the first officer by the MPU 13. It can be seen that the value is set to “1/256” when taken from the second counter of the major player.

  The probability that the special right occurrence information is stopped and displayed on the special indicator 2 and the “special right” is generated is called the special first probability when the MPU 13 fetches the count value from the big role first counter. The case where the count value is taken from the counter is referred to as a special second probability.

  Whether the MPU 13 fetches the counter from the first big counter or the second big counter is determined by the count value fetched from the variation information counter.

  Next, the specific counter is used to select any combination of the special identification information shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, that is, one of 20 cubes (= 8000) of “special right generation information” combinations. Is.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the MPU 13 loops in the range of “0” to “19”, and counts up the count value of the specific counter by “1” each time the count value of the first major counter is incremented by one. Thus, “20 types” of “special right generation information” combinations are formed.

  Next, the special counter is a combination of “7980 types” excluding the “20 types” combination of “special right generation information” as described above, among the combinations of the columns of the special identification information shown in FIGS. It is for making it correspond.

  The MPU 13 counts up the special counter by “1” while looping in the range of “0” to “7979” every time the count value of the major first counter is incremented by one.

  Next, the fluctuation information counter counts up by “1” while looping in the range of “0” to “79” every time the MPU 13 increments the count value of the first big actor counter by one. In the present embodiment, the MPU 13 and the fluctuation condition determination circuit 21 constitute a probability fluctuation means.

  In the present embodiment, when the MPU 13 fetches “7” from the major player first counter or the major player second counter, the fluctuation condition determination circuit 21 fetches the count value from the fluctuation information counter of the MPU 13 and counts the fluctuation information counter. It is determined whether or not the variation condition is satisfied according to the value.

  When the count value fetched from the variation information counter by the variation condition determination circuit 21 is “0” to “39”, it is determined that the variation condition is satisfied. ”Is displayed on the special display 2 so as to be visible together with the special right exercise information.

  When the variation condition is satisfied in this way, the MPU 13 counts from the first major counter until the next “special right” is generated until the “special right” is generated at that time. Since the special right occurrence information is stopped and displayed based on the special first probability (= 1/50> 1/256), the special right occurrence information is stopped and displayed based on the special second probability. Thus, a “special right” higher than the “ordinary right” is likely to be generated, and an advantageous state for the player (hereinafter referred to as an advantageous state) is formed.

  On the other hand, with regard to “ordinary rights”, when the variation condition is satisfied, the MPU 13 takes in the count value from the infinite counter of the variation condition determination circuit 21 to obtain the ordinary right occurrence information as the ordinary first probability (= 1/2). > 1/20), the “normal right” is more likely to occur than the case where the normal right generation information is normally stopped based on the second probability, and the per unit time during the pachinko game The degree of decrease in the number of balls is suppressed.

  Next, when the count value fetched from the variation information counter by the variation condition determination circuit 21 is “40” to “79”, it is determined that the variation condition is not satisfied, and variation information corresponding to that is displayed in the information display circuit 24. Is displayed on the special display 2 together with the special right exercise information (see below).

  If the fluctuation condition is not satisfied, the MPU 13 takes in the special right from the disappearance of the “special right” that has occurred at that time, and at least until the next time the “special right” occurs, Since the occurrence information is stopped and displayed based on the special second probability (= 1/256 <1/50), the “special right” is compared with the case where the special right occurrence information is stopped and displayed based on the special first probability. Is unlikely to occur.

  On the other hand, in the case of “ordinary rights”, when the variation condition is not satisfied, the MPU 13 captures the count value from the infinite counter of the probability control circuit 20 to obtain the normal identification information as the normal second probability (= 1/20 <1 / 2) Since the stop display is based on the normal probability, the “normal right” is less likely to occur than when the normal identification information is normally stopped based on the first probability, so the number of balls held per unit time during the pachinko game The degree of decrease also increases.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 to 36, the variation information of the present embodiment is a combination of a moving image and a still image assuming a match between two different characters A and B, and one of the characters A and B is designated as a player. The other B corresponds to the pachinko machine 3.

  The display mode of the fluctuation information is determined according to the count values “0” to “79” fetched from the fluctuation information counter.

  Furthermore, the number of battles between the characters A and B is determined to be 3 in total in the present embodiment during the occurrence of “special rights”, and the combination of winning and losing based on the battle between the characters A and B is determined as a variable condition. It is determined based on the count value fetched from the variation information counter by the circuit 21 (described later).

  Next, a display example of variation information will be described below. In the present embodiment, for the first match, the information display circuit 24 displays a pair of characters to fight as shown in FIG. 10 when the number of exercises of “special rights” is the first. To stop display.

  In addition, when the number of exercises is the second to fourth times, as shown in FIG. 11, FIG. 12 or FIG. The display process is stopped and displayed on the special display 2, and the result of the win / loss is stopped and displayed on the special display 2 at the fifth and fifth exercises (see FIG. 14 or FIG. 15).

  In the same manner, the information display circuit 24 displays a pair of characters to fight when the number of exercises is the sixth, and stops the contents of the battle when the seventh to the ninth times. In addition, the number of exercises and the result of winning / losing are stopped and displayed on the special indicator 2 at the 10th time (see FIGS. 16 to 21).

  As for the third match, the information display circuit 24 displays a pair of characters to fight when the number of exercises is the eleventh, and the content of the match is displayed when the number of exercises is the twelfth to the fourteenth times. A stop display is made, and the number of exercises and the result of the win / loss are stopped and displayed on the special indicator 2 at the 15th time (see FIGS. 22 and 27).

  The winning / losing result of each battle described above is expressed by a video reminiscent of either character A or B winning or losing against the other. When the number of exercises is the 16th, the information display circuit 24 All the results of the first to third battles are simultaneously displayed as a still image on the special display 2 so as to be visible (see FIG. 28).

  In this embodiment, it is assumed that there is no tie in the winning / losing result. Therefore, when the winning / losing in this embodiment is considered for each character A and B, the combination is “2 to the third power (= 8)”. Become.

  The combination is divided into two types when either one of the characters A and B wins or loses against the other, three types when one win and two loses, and three types when two wins and one loss. There are 8 types in total.

  These correspond to the count values of the variation information counter of the MPU 13, and in this embodiment, when the count value is “0” to “9”, all wins of character A (all losses of character B) and “10” ”To“ 39 ”, it is determined that character A has 2 wins and 1 loss (character B has 1 win and 2 losses).

  Then, the “special right” indicates that the MPU 13 takes in the count value “7” from the first officer or the second officer counter and the count values “0” to “39” from the variation information counter by the variation condition determination circuit 21. If it occurs based on any of the captures, the information display circuit 24 displays the change information indicating that the change condition is satisfied together with the special right exercise information on the special display 2 so as to be visible.

  On the other hand, the “special right” indicates that the count value “7” is read from the MP1 by the MPU 13 from the first or second counter, and the count values “40” to “79” from the change information counter by the change condition determination circuit 21. The information display circuit 24 displays the change information indicating that the change condition is not satisfied together with the special right exercise information so as to be visible on the special indicator 2 (see FIG. 35 and FIG. 35). (See Figure 36).

  When the “special right” occurs, if the variation condition is not satisfied and the count value taken from the variation information counter is “40” to “49”, the character A loses all (the character B all wins), In the case of “50” to “79”, character A's 1 win and 2 losses (character B 2 wins and 1 loss) are determined.

  In this embodiment, the variable information is divided into the number of exercises, the fifth, the tenth, and the fifteenth, and is exercised alternately with the special rights exercise information at predetermined intervals during the exercise of the “special rights”. Until the number of times is updated, the special indicator 2 is stopped and displayed gradually. When the character A wins all or two of the characters B, the result is stopped and displayed after the 16th and the fluctuation condition is satisfied. Express that.

  When character A loses all or two against character B, the result is stopped and displayed at the number of exercises / 16th time, and the variation information expresses that the variation condition is not satisfied. FIG. 28 shows an example in which character A loses 2 against character B.

  In the present embodiment, the “special right” indicates that the MPU 13 fetches the count value “7” from the first officer or second officer counter and the count value “0” from the variation information counter by the variation condition determination circuit 21. Or, if it occurs based on any of “9”, it will not include the current “special right”, and the ordinary condition will be determined by the variable condition determination circuit 21 until the exercise of the “special right” two times in total. Determine the type of occurrence information.

  In other words, after the exercise of the current “special rights” is completed, the variable condition determination circuit 21 continues until the exercise of the “special rights” that will occur next time is completed and the exercise of the “special rights” that occurs next is completed. The type of ordinary right occurrence information is determined.

  As a result, the player can play a normal game with a normal first probability (= 1/2). Therefore, compared to a normal game with a normal second probability (= 1/20), the “normal right” The probability of occurrence will be 10 times, and an advantageous state will be formed as compared with the normal game under the normal second probability while the exercise of “special rights” is completed twice.

  Furthermore, the fact that the above-described advantageous state is formed in the present embodiment is that in FIG. 29 to FIG. 31 before the transition to the normal pachinko gaming state after the exercise of the “special right” occurring at that time is completed. It is displayed so as to be visible on the special indicator 2 in the manner as shown.

  In addition, the “special right” indicates that the count value “7” is read from the MP1 by the MPU 13 from the first or second counter, and the count values “10” to “39” from the change information counter by the change condition determining circuit 21 are set. If it occurs based on any of the acquisitions, after the exercise of this “special right”, until the next occurrence of the “special right” is completed, that is, the variable condition determination circuit 21 performs only one right generation information. Determine the type.

  As a result, the player can normally play the normal game with the first probability, and an advantageous state is formed as compared to the normal game with the normal second probability.

  It should be noted that the advantageous state described above in the present embodiment is formed in FIGS. 32 to 34 before the transition to the normal pachinko gaming state after the exercise of the “special rights” occurring at that time. It is displayed so as to be visible on the special indicator 2 in the manner as shown.

  The display mode shown in FIG. 32 to FIG. 34 is the first display when the normal game is executed with the normal first probability until the above two “special rights” are completely exercised. Even after the exercise of the “special rights”, it will be stopped in the same way.

  The variation condition determination circuit 21 is connected to the information display circuit 24 provided in the special display device 1. When the normal first probability is selected, that fact and the normal first probability are selected. A privilege signal representing information corresponding to the number of times of ending the exercise of the “special rights” is input from the variation condition determination circuit 21 to the information display circuit 24.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the number of times of exercising the above-mentioned “special rights” is not the number of times of exercising as described above, and even if “special rights” continue, it will not be added and occurs at that time. When the “special rights” once disappears, transition to the normal pachinko gaming state, and when a new “special rights” is generated at the start of a new special game, the number of exercises of the “special rights” is added. It shall be determined.

  In addition, the information display circuit 24, when the count value from the above-mentioned big role first counter or big role second counter is “7” and the count value from the fluctuation information counter is any one of “10” to “39”, As described above, the winning and losing of the character A with respect to the character B is 2 wins and 1 loss, and there are three types of combinations in total.

  This is that the character A loses at any of the first to third battle results, and in this embodiment, the count value from the variation information counter is “odd” and “not a multiple of 3”. , Defeated in the first match, losing in the second match when the count value is "Even", and defeated in the third match when the count value is "a multiple of 3" (See Figure 28)

  In this embodiment, when the count value fetched from the variation information counter by the MPU 13 is “even” and “a multiple of 3”, it is determined that the player will lose the third match.

  Furthermore, the “special right” indicates that the MPU 13 fetches the count value “7” from the first officer second counter or the second officer second counter, and fetches any one of the count values “50” to “79” from the variation information counter. As described above, the winning and losing of the character A with respect to the character B is 1 win and 2 losses, and there are three combinations in total.

  When the count values “50” to “79” from the variation information counter are “odd” and “not a multiple of 3”, the first battle is won, and when the count value is “even”, It is determined that the player wins the second match and wins the third match when the count value is “a multiple of 3”.

  In the present embodiment, when the count value fetched from the major player first counter or the major player second counter by the MPU 13 is “even” and “a multiple of three”, it is determined that the player will lose the third match.

  With regard to these winning / losing results, the information display circuit 24 displays the characters A and B on the special display 2 visibly with the “x (bad) mark” at the number of exercises / 16th time, as shown in FIG. It is expressed as shown.

  In other words, the characters A and B whose “x” is not displayed on the special display 2 express that they are winning. For all wins or all losses, there is only one combination of wins and losses, so there is no problem related to the display mode of wins and losses at the 16th exercise.

  In the present embodiment, the variation condition determination circuit 21 fetches the count value from the variation information counter based on the timing at which the special start switch 10 detects the special start winning ball. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Absent.

  For example, during the occurrence of “special rights”, the MPU 13 receives a winning ball to the variable winning ball device 25 (hereinafter referred to as a major player award) through the continuation switch 30 via the continuation detection circuit 31 or the count switch 32 via the winning ball number detection circuit 33. The fluctuation condition determination circuit 21 may fetch the count value from the fluctuation information counter at the time of detecting the first ball).

  Then, when the special player's winning ball is not detected by the continuation switch 30, the information display circuit 24 displays the variation information (see FIG. 28) for displaying that the character A has lost to the character B. Stop display on the special display 2.

  Subsequently, after the “special rights” are extinguished, the game returns to the normal pachinko game, and when the normal game is executed based on the passage of the fired ball from this state to the normal starting areas 9, 9, the probability control circuit 20 The normal identification information is stopped and displayed on the normal display 18 with the second probability.

  In this embodiment, the number of major winning balls is stopped and displayed on the special indicator 2, and the number of winning balls is also displayed by the winning ball indicators 34 and 35 provided below the opening / closing plate 28 in FIG. The display 34 is made up of 10 LEDs, and the winning ball number display 35 is made up of a so-called 7-segment LED, and these indicators 34 and 35 are controlled to emit light by the MPU 13 through the display drive circuit 22 as is well known. The

  Next, only the outline of the display of information on the exercise of special rights during the occurrence of “special rights” will be explained below. First, when a “special right” is generated, the MPU 13 makes initial settings for each part of the pachinko machine 3 in preparation for the generation of the “special right”.

  Further, the special display circuit 5 visibly displays on the special display device 2 the fact that “special rights” have occurred and the number of exercises / first time as special rights exercise information, and also exercises “special rights”. When the count switch 32 detects the big winning ball, the number of big winning balls counted by the MPU 13 is visibly displayed on the special indicator 2 and the winning ball number indicators 34 and 35.

  If the continuation switch 30 detects a major player's winning ball while exercising “special rights”, the MPU 13 sets the continuation mode and at the same time displays that the “special rights” will be continued, corresponding to the so-called “V prize”. Then, the special right exercise information is displayed on the special display 2 so as to be visible in the form of a moving image or a still image.

  When a predetermined time has elapsed since the occurrence of the “special right”, in this embodiment, 30 seconds have elapsed, or when a predetermined number of major player winning balls have been won, and in this embodiment 10 balls have been won, the MPU 13 solenoid-operates the large winning opening solenoid 27. The circuit 26 is demagnetized and the opening / closing plate 28 is once closed.

  Then, regardless of the number of major player winning balls, the MPU 13 generates the “special right” only once, and at the same time releases the already set continuous mode.

  This continuation mode is not set when the continuation switch 30 does not detect a major player winning ball, and when the major player state is continuously selected a predetermined number of times (16 times including the first time in the present embodiment). But it will never be set again.

  The MPU 13 is provided with a big role timer (not shown) for measuring the time for generating the “special right”. The initial value is set to 30 seconds before the start of the occurrence of the “special right” in the big role timer. At the same time as the occurrence of, the big timer is started.

  In the present embodiment, in a normal pachinko gaming state, when a non-game state continues and a predetermined time (for example, 3 minutes) elapses, the special display circuit 5 appropriately displays the display contents of general information including a so-called demo display. By replacing it, a well-known screen saver function is provided to prevent the special display 2 from being burned.

  When the start winning ball is detected by the special display circuit 5 via the MPU 13 during this non-game, the special display circuit 5 displays the special identification information in a variable manner on the special display 2 displaying the general information. Then, the game by the special display device 1 is started.

  The variation display of the special identification information is made up of a moving image scrolling from the upper side to the lower side in FIG. 3 of the special indicator 2, and the special display circuit 5 displays a plurality of types of special identification information at positions outside the characters in FIGS. Are displayed gradually in a predetermined cycle in ascending order of numbers, and this is continued for a variable display time determined for each column.

  When the variable display time elapses from the start of the variable display, the special display circuit 5 stops and displays any special identification information at the central position of the special display 2 for a predetermined stop display time.

  In order to stop and display special identification information, general information, change information and special right exercise information on the special display 2, the character data of each information is a character generator ROM (hereinafter referred to as CG.ROM) 36 shown in FIG. The CG.ROM 36 is connected to the special display circuit 5.

  The special display circuit 5 controls display or scanning on the special display 2 based on each data stored in the CG.ROM 36 based on a command (control signal) input from the MPU 13, and at that time, the special display The calculated values and various data to be displayed in a stopped state on the device 2 are temporarily stored in the image RAM 37.

  The MPU 13 reads a program stored in the ROM 38 and performs an appropriate operation, and temporarily stores various data, instructions, operation values, and the like in the RAM 39.

  Further, power is supplied to the entire pachinko machine 3 by the power supply circuit 40, and when the power supply circuit 40 is activated, the power supply reset circuit 41 inputs a reset signal to the MPU 13 and the entire pachinko machine 3 through the reset circuit 42.

  A clock circuit 43 is connected to the MPU 13, and a clock pulse signal having a desired specification is input to the MPU 13 by the frequency dividing circuit 44.

  Returning to FIG. 3, an out hole 45 is provided below the game board 4, and a variable winning ball apparatus 25 is disposed between the out hole 45 and the special display device 1.

  Further, an upper plate 46 is provided below the front side of the pachinko machine 3, and when a pachinko ball is inserted from the upper plate 46, it is supplied to a ball striking device (not shown) from an input ball supply device (not shown). Prize balls overflowing from 46 are paid out to the lower plate 47 (see FIG. 2).

  In addition, a normal winning opening 48 is provided on both sides of the big winning opening 29, and a pachinko ball is launched toward the game board 4 by operating a handle device (see FIG. 2) 49.

  When the launch ball wins the special start openings 7 and 8, a special game is started, and that effect is notified by the MPU 13 from the speaker 50 of FIG. A special symbol changing display 52 emits light through the circuit 22.

  In addition, during the special game, when additional fired balls win the special start openings 7 and 8, the display drive circuit 22 displays a maximum of 4 balls on the special symbol start memory display 53 (FIGS. 1 and 3). reference).

  When the “special right” is generated, the MPU 13 notifies the effect of the sound effect from the speaker 50 shown in FIG. 1 by the electronic sound generation circuit 51. While the “special right” is generated, the display driver circuit 22 emits a jackpot indicator 56 comprising a lamp (see FIGS. 1 and 3).

  On the other hand, when the shot ball passes through the normal start area 9, a normal game is started, and that effect is notified by the MPU 13 from the speaker 50 by the electronic sound generating circuit 51 and by the normal symbol changing display 54. The light is displayed.

  Further, during the normal game, when a further fired ball passes through the normal starting area 9, the indicator driving circuit 22 displays a maximum of four balls on the normal symbol starting memory display 55 (see FIGS. 1 and 3). .

  The contents stored in the CG.ROM 36 in this embodiment are described in detail. Major character data used when “special rights” are generated, moving material data for character of variation information, material data for display of stoppage of special rights exercise information, general Information, change information and special identification information stop display material data, variable display material data, special identification information so-called reach status and control procedure for variable display, special identification information related to this reach status stop display Material data, still image material data for displaying the number of exercises, still image material data for various demonstrations, the same moving image material data, still image material data for the number of major winning balls at the time of occurrence of "special rights", various messages (normal Transition decision display from pachinko gaming state to “special rights” occurrence state, “special right” in-progress display, special characteristics under normal first probability Identification information stop display decision display, exercise of “special rights”, normal pachinko game state display immediately before transition, error display, etc.) still image material data, video material data, code data corresponding to color tone, variation information Video material data and the like are stored at each display timing according to the progress of the game.

  The big character data is used when the “special right” is generated, and consists of specific state still picture material data and big picture still picture material data.

  The special purpose still image material data indicates that “special rights” have occurred, and the main purpose of the major still image material data is to play a decorative role in order to change the game during the occurrence of “special rights”. ing.

  As for the moving image material data for the character of the variation information, the data related to the winning and losing of the characters A and B are stored three times for two types, a total of eight types (= 2 to the cube of 2). Construct a video that will lead to a win / loss decision.

  The animation of the fluctuation information indicating the start of the battle between the characters A and B is displayed on the special indicator 2 together with the special rights exercise information immediately after the start of the exercise of the “special rights”. ”Is displayed on the special indicator 2 just before the exercise ends, and the next normal game is normally executed with the first probability, in other words, the comprehensive display of the fluctuation information regarding whether or not the fluctuation condition is satisfied is“ special It is displayed on the special indicator 2 just before the “right” disappears (see FIGS. 10 to 34).

  The video material data for variable display of special identification information is data for variable display of special identification information at the start of the special game, and still image material data of special identification information stops display any identification information Used when making

  In addition, the reach state stop material data is obtained when the stop symbol data of any two columns in the special display 2, in the present embodiment, the left column and the right column coincide with each other and a so-called reach state is formed during the special game. This is for displaying a notice to that effect.

  For this notification, the special display circuit 5 reads the reach state stop material data from the CG.ROM 36, and special identification information formed by this data and the special identification of any column of the special display 2 that has been reached. The color or luminance of any column of the special display device 2 that replaces or reaches information is periodically changed at a predetermined timing.

  Hereinafter, such a display state of the reach state is referred to as a blink display, and the special display circuit 5 notifies and displays the reach state to the player by the blink display.

  At the same time as the blink display, the special display circuit 5 displays the special symbol changing display (see FIGS. 1 and 2) 52 provided on the game board 4 via the display drive circuit 22 so as to be lit or blinking. Thus, the reach state is notified to the player by light.

  The special symbol changing display 52 is for displaying that a special game is started, and when a normal special game is in progress and when a reach state is formed during the progress. By changing the light emission modes of the special symbol changing display 52 between the two, different types of situations can be displayed.

  During the formation of the reach state, a sound effect is generated from the speaker 50 by the electronic sound generation circuit 51 shown in FIG. 1, so that the reach state is formed is clearly indicated through the player's hearing and vision. it can.

  In the normal game, as described above, the normal identification information is selected based on the infinite counter of either the probability control circuit 20 or the variation condition determination circuit 21, and the normal identification information is displayed on the normal display 18 by the normal display circuit 19. Stopped and visible.

  The fluctuation condition determination circuit 21 is connected to the information display circuit 24 provided in the special display device 1, and when the initial state and the fluctuation condition are not satisfied, the fluctuation condition signal indicating that is the fluctuation condition determination. Input from the circuit 21 to the information display circuit 24.

  The variation condition determining circuit 21 selects data corresponding to any of the normal identification information in accordance with the timing of passage of the launch ball to the normal starting areas 9 and 9, and normally displays the data via the display driver circuit 22. It is input to the device 17.

  After that, the normal display device 17 displays any normal identification information based on the data input from the variation condition determination circuit 21. Even in the probability control circuit 20, the procedure for selecting the normal identification information is the same as the procedure by the variation condition determining circuit 21.

  Further, in order to generate “ordinary rights” at the special start port 7, the ordinary electric accessory solenoid 57 of FIG. 1 is provided. When the ordinary electric accessory solenoid 57 is excited, a link mechanism which is not shown in the figure. The electric tulip is opened through.

  On the other hand, when the ordinary electric accessory solenoid 57 is demagnetized, the special start port 7 is closed and is less likely to win than the opened state. Further, a solenoid drive circuit 58 is connected to the ordinary electric accessory solenoid 57, and the excitation / demagnetization is controlled by the MPU 13 via the interface circuit 12.

  Next, the control procedure of the pachinko machine according to the above configuration will be described below. First, when power is supplied from the power supply circuit 40, the MPU 13 initializes each part of the pachinko machine 3 simultaneously with the initialization by the reset circuit 42 and the power reset circuit 41.

  By this initial setting, the MPU 13 reads out the demo screen material data at the time of initial setting from the CG.ROM 36 and writes it to the image RAM 37. Based on this, the demo screen is displayed on the special display 2 and at the same time, the normal game is being played. The effect is notified by sound and light through the normal symbol changing display 54 and the speaker 50.

  Further, according to the initial setting described above, the normal display device 17 starts a normal game with a normal second probability, and the special display device 1 starts a special game with a special second probability in the initial state. The MPU 13 waits for the start of both games.

  In other words, the MPU 13 waits for detection of a passing (winning) ball to the normal starting region 9 and the special starting ports 7 and 8, and when the projecting ball passes the normal starting region 9 or the special starting ports 7 and 8, the normal starting switch 15 or After detection by the special start switch 10, the detection signal is input to the MPU 13 through the interface circuit 12.

  When the detection signal from the normal start switch 15 is input to the MPU 13, the normal game is started. When the normal right generation information is stopped and displayed on the normal display 18, the "normal right" is generated. The drive circuit 58 excites the ordinary electric accessory solenoid 57, and the special start port 7 is opened to exercise the "ordinary right".

  On the other hand, when the special start winning ball is detected by the MPU 13 via the special start switch 10 and the interface circuit 12, the special display circuit 5 starts a special game, and at the same time, the special symbol indicates that the MPU 13 is in the special game. An in-flight indicator 52 and a speaker 50 notify the user with sound and light.

  Then, when the special right generation information is stopped and displayed on the special indicator 2 based on the second probability of the big role based on the start of the special game, the “special right” is generated as is well known. Since the winning opening solenoid 27 is excited, the variable winning ball apparatus 25 is opened and the “special right” can be exercised.

  Then, the current “special right” is obtained when the MPU 13 fetches the count value “7” from the main role counter and the fluctuation condition determination circuit 21 fetches any of the count values “0” to “39” from the fluctuation information counter. If it occurs, the information display circuit 24 displays the change information visibly on the special indicator 2 together with the special right exercise information to indicate that the change condition is satisfied.

  Thus, the player can recognize whether or not the normal game is executed with the normal first probability during the normal pachinko gaming state until the next “special right” is generated.

  In the present embodiment, the contents expressed by the variable information are not immediately displayed by the information display circuit 24 when the “special right” is generated, but the “special right” is generated and the “special right” is exercised. The display is accompanied by, more specifically, during the occurrence of "special rights", the special indicator 2 is not displayed all at the same time, but is gradually displayed as the "special rights" are exercised. It is not immediately possible to recognize whether or not it has been exercised.

  At the latest, when the exercise of the “special rights” is completed, it can be recognized whether or not the variable conditions are satisfied, and in order to eliminate the “special rights”, the winning prize opening 29 is closed and the normal pachinko game Return to the state.

  If the variation condition is satisfied, the ordinary game is executed based on the count value fetched from the infinite counter of the variation condition determination circuit 21, so that the “ordinary right” is usually the first probability (= 1/1 /). Occurs in 2).

  On the other hand, if the variation condition is not satisfied, the ordinary game is executed based on the count value fetched from the infinite counter of the probability control circuit 20, so that “ordinary right” is usually the second probability (= 1/1 /). 20).

  In the present embodiment, an example has been described in which both occurrence probabilities of “special rights” and “ordinary rights” are changed at the same time when the change condition is satisfied. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Only the occurrence probability of “right” may be changed.

  For example, when only the probability of occurrence of “special rights” is changed, if the normal display device 59 is configured as shown in FIG. 37 by omitting the above-described change condition determining circuit 21 of the normal display device 17, the normal identification information is Since the infinite counter of the probability control circuit 20 normally displays only under the second probability, the occurrence probability of “ordinary right” is fixed at 1/20.

  It should be noted that the capture of the count value from the variation information counter described above by the variation condition determination circuit 21 is executed by the probability control circuit 20.

  Further, when only the occurrence probability of “ordinary rights” is changed, by omitting the above-described configuration of the MPU 13 main player first counter, the special identification information is obtained only by the MPU 13 main player first counter under the special second probability. Since it is displayed, the probability of occurrence of “special rights” is fixed at 1/256.

  In addition, the probability of occurrence of "special rights" and "ordinary rights" can be changed at the same time, or instead of changing only one of them, the probability of occurrence of "special rights" and "ordinary rights" can be changed one by one. Also good.

  For example, when “special rights” are generated under the special second probability and “normal rights” are generated under the normal second probability at the time of initialization, and the variable conditions are satisfied, the “special rights” and “normal rights” If only one of these is changed and the next change condition is satisfied, only one of the “special rights” and “ordinary rights” will be changed. is there.

  Therefore, the MPU 13 alternately turns on and off the flag for “special rights” and the flag for “normal rights” each time the variable condition is satisfied, and at the same time, both “special rights” and “ordinary rights”. The occurrence probability is not changed.

  Furthermore, when the variable condition is satisfied, the “special rights” and the “ordinary rights” are set by arbitrarily turning on the flag for “special rights” and the flag for “normal rights” instead of alternately. Both occurrence probabilities may be arbitrarily changed.

  In that case, there are three combinations, both “special rights” and “ordinary rights”, and one each. Therefore, when the variation condition is satisfied, a lottery for selecting the three types may be executed.

  For example, when it is determined whether or not the variation condition is satisfied, the count value is fetched from the variation information counter. If the count value is, for example, “0” to “9”, “special rights” and If both “ordinary rights” are “10” to “19”, only “special rights” are changed, and if “20” to “39”, only “ordinary rights” are changed.

  The combination of the count value fetched from such a variation information counter and the “special rights” and “ordinary rights” is completely arbitrary, and is not limited to the above-described combinations.

  As described above, every time the variable condition is satisfied, the probability of occurrence of both “special rights” and “ordinary rights” does not change, but one or both change alternately or arbitrarily. Compared with a configuration in which the probability of occurrence of both “special rights” and “ordinary rights” varies, a more varied game is provided and the player's willingness to play is improved.

In the present embodiment, the fluctuation information counter and the big role counter are provided to determine whether or not the fluctuation condition is satisfied, and when the fluctuation condition is satisfied, the probability changing means changes the probability. The change information for displaying whether or not the user is satisfied is displayed by the information display means just before the “special right” disappears. That is, in the present embodiment, the change information is not displayed immediately when the “special right” is generated.
Therefore, immediately after the occurrence of the “special right”, the prize ball obtained when the occurrence probability increases with no decrease in the willingness to play with respect to the decrease in the probability of occurrence of one or both of the “normal right” and “special right”. The expectation for the increase in numbers will be held separately from the exercise of “special rights”, and the willingness to play will be improved.

Claims (1)

In order to stop and display any one of a plurality of predetermined types of special identification information in accordance with a predetermined special display probability according to the passage of a pachinko ball to a special start area provided on the game board surface. Special display device of
In a normal state, a state in which a prize cannot be won is not taken in, and special special information that is stopped and displayed on the special display device is predetermined special right generation information. Providing a variable winning ball apparatus that forms a winning possible state in which a pachinko ball can be easily taken in from the incapable winning state based on the occurrence of the "special right",
According to the passage of the pachinko ball to the normal starting area provided in advance on the game board surface, any one of a plurality of predetermined types of normal identification information is stopped and displayed with a predetermined normal display probability. Provide a normal display device,
When the ordinary identification information to be stopped and displayed on the ordinary display device is predetermined ordinary right generation information, an ordinary electric accessory that generates a “ordinary right” lower than the “special right” is provided. ,
Furthermore, a fluctuation information counter and a big role counter that determines whether or not to generate a “special right” are generated, and the “special right” is generated from the big role counter based on the passage of the pachinko ball to the special starting area. Based on the capture of the count value, it is determined whether the variation condition is satisfied by capturing the count value from the variation information counter,
In response to the occurrence of the “special right”, if a predetermined variable condition is satisfied, at least from the extinction of the “special right” occurring at that time until the next generation of the “special right” A probability changing means for changing the display probability of one or both of the special display probability and the normal display probability to a display probability of a value different from the probability value;
Whether the occurrence probability of both “special rights” and “ordinary rights”, “special rights” only, or “ordinary rights” only is changed according to the count value fetched from the variation information counter A lottery means for performing selection, and providing a lottery means for changing the display probability by the probability fluctuation means,
Information display means is provided for displaying a determination indicating whether or not the variation condition determined according to the count value fetched from the variation information counter is satisfied, immediately before the disappearance of the “special right”.
