Description

  The present invention relates to an application field of a pachinko gaming machine.

  Pachinko machines have developed and grown significantly in recent years. In particular, the advent of gaming machines that are commonly known as fivers, sevens, and digipachis, and the high level of technology that uses a liquid crystal display, voice, etc. The place due to conversion is big.

  On the other hand, excessively expanding the dream and expectation due to advanced liquid crystal displays, etc., will cause the player's “drinking” phenomenon, and the price of the gaming machine will rise, resulting in a prize being returned to the player There is a phenomenon that the number of passengers decreases and the distance between customers increases.

As described in [Background Art], the problem to be solved by the present invention is as follows: (1) The player who does not know the player will miss the disappointment, and the machine side who knows will be overly excited. Aiming to reduce the “intrusion”, we will aim to create a pachinko machine that will break away from the probability of hitting and get a chance to see it or not.
(2) Pachinko machines that have a good opportunity to see are easily subject to fraud.
(3) Even if the amount of “intrusion” is reduced, it is useless if the game is poor. Balance is required, and performance that satisfies euphoria in a healthy range is also required.
The above (1), (2), and (3) are problems to be solved.

Means to solve the problem

  The pachinko machine according to claim 1 has a payout number display unit capable of displaying a payout number value that changes with the passage of time, and when a winning at the start winning opening is detected, the big payout opening is opened and the payout is made Since it is a pachinko machine that accepts the number of winning balls and then closes the big winning gate, how many winning balls can be obtained at any time during the game by winning the starting winning gate at this time? I understand clearly. I understand that I can't give the machine a function to overcook. As a result, the problem described in the problem (1) can be effectively reduced by reducing “drinking”.

  The pachinko machine according to claim 2 has a payout number display portion capable of displaying a payout number value that changes with the passage of time, and when a winning to the start winning opening is detected, the big winning opening is opened and the payout is made A pachinko machine that accepts the number of winning balls and then closes the big winning opening, even if a winning at the next starting opening is detected when the big winning opening is opened, a new big winning opening The pachinko machine is characterized in that it does not affect the opening of the ball, and in order to detect the ball that has won the starting prize opening, a detector other than the first starting opening detector and the first starting opening detector is used. Since it is a pachinko machine characterized by increased resistance to fraud by using multiple signals based on it, the value of the number of payout display section is seen and it is considered an opportunity for fraud, and it is captured with illegal radio waves etc. But you have to give up fraud That and made that say, there is a utility to the problems mentioned in the issue (2).

  The pachinko machine according to claim 3 has a payout number display unit capable of displaying a payout number value that changes with the passage of time, and when a winning at the start winning opening is detected, the big winning opening is opened and the payout is performed. A pachinko machine that accepts the number of winning balls and then closes the big winning hole, aiming to reduce the difference in skills with respect to winning at the starting winning opening, and to facilitate the management of nail adjustment In addition, since it is a pachinko machine characterized by providing a start port with an electric accessory that operates according to the result of the lottery based on the signal of the gate detector, the utility satisfying the gameability described in the problem (3) is achieved. is there.

  The pachinko machine according to claim 4 has a payout number display portion capable of displaying a payout number value that changes with the passage of time, and when a winning to the start winning opening is detected, the big winning opening is opened and the payout is made A pachinko machine that accepts the number of winning balls and then closes the big winning hole, aiming to reduce the difference in skills with respect to winning at the starting winning opening, and to facilitate the management of nail adjustment In addition, it is characterized in that a start port with an electric accessory that operates according to the result of the lottery by the signal of the gate detector is provided, and after the set payout operation with a specific value of the payout number value is completed, Since it is a pachinko machine that makes it easy to win a lottery with the signal from the gate detector, sometimes the set payout operation with a large value of the payout number may continue. I'm also defeated by the machine Gaming property neither does not, there is a utility to the problems mentioned in the problem (3).

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

  FIG. 1 is an external view of a game board of a first embodiment of a pachinko machine according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is an external view of the game board of the second embodiment. FIG. 3 is an external view of the game board of the third embodiment. FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the pachinko machine of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a flow chart of the part for generating the payout number value. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the change of the payout count value with time.

  Now, in FIG. 1, 1 is a game board and many nails 2 are driven. In addition, there are also provided three ordinary winning holes, four starting winning holes, and five large winning holes. These are no different from the parts used in conventional pachinko machines. A payout number display 6 which is a feature of the present invention is provided, and 50 cases are illustrated in the example of the figure. Although not an essential part, a winning number display 7 is provided, and in the example shown in the figure, 15 out of 50 times are completed.

  A first start port detector 8 and a second start port detector 9 are provided on the back side of the game board of the start winning port 4. Although two start-up detectors 8 and 9 are not essential, it is desirable that there are two start-up detectors, and two or more different types for the purpose of preventing fraud described later.

  A payout number detector 10 is provided in the special winning opening 5, and a signal for closing the special winning opening is generated by a solenoid (not shown) when a predetermined number of prizes are won in the special winning opening. Although 10 is called a payout number detector for the whole explanation, it is a count switch of a conventional pachinko machine.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
In a standby state in which the player is not playing a game, the program starts every fixed time, and as a matter of course, the set payout operation is not performed in S1, and the process proceeds to NO. Goes to NO, repeats the operation to reach the end by changing the display of the payout count value of S3 at every specified time. That is, the numerical value shown on the payout number display 6 shown in FIG. 1 is changed and displayed over time.

  Here, the display change of the payout number value in FIG. 4 (S3) will be described with reference to FIG. As in FIG. 4, the program starts every fixed time, and adds 1 to the counter RAN that stores the random value in S1. Next, it is determined whether or not the random value has reached 100 in S2. If it has not reached 100, the process proceeds to the next S4. If it has reached, 1 is written to the counter-RAN in S3. In other words, the RAN is created to have 99 types of values from 1 to 99.

Next, in S4, it is determined whether or not a ball has entered the normal winning opening and turned on. When turned on, it is confirmed in S5 that the counter RAN has not reached the maximum value, and 1 is added to RAN in S6.
In the case of S4 (NO), an operation to proceed to S7 without performing addition is performed. This is an act of increasing the randomness by taking into account the randomness of the time when the ball enters the winning hole of the game board because periodicity occurs in the update of RAN in S1, S2, S3 and it cannot be said that it is a true random number. Yes, S4 may be an element other than the normal winning opening, and S6 may be other than +1.

  Next, in S7, it is determined whether or not the switching timing of the payout number value display has been reached. As will be described later with reference to FIG. 6, for example, switching is performed every 2 seconds, or switching between 1 second, 2 seconds, and 3 seconds is sometimes performed. In any case, the determined rule time and time are determined and set as the switching timing. If the time has not been reached, the end is reached, but in the case of timing, the RAN value is drawn in lots in S8. That is, what is the value 1 to 99 is selected.

  In S9, the payout number value corresponding to the selected RAN value is transferred to the display RAM, and then the end is reached. As will be described later with reference to FIG. 6, for example, when the RAN value is 6, the predetermined number of payout times is 50, 50 is put in the display RAM, and the payout number display of FIG. 50 is displayed as shown in FIG. Note that the random number generation method described with reference to FIG. 5 is even easier if the random number generation function of a special microcomputer used in the pachinko industry is used.

  Next, returning to FIGS. 1 and 4, the game will be described. When a player launches a ball into the game board 1 from a launching device (not shown), the ball falls along various routes along the nail 2 or the like. Assume that a ball enters the start winning opening 4 and is detected by the first start opening detector 8 and the second start opening detector 9.

  In FIG. 4, the route goes from S1 (NO) to S2 (YES) and proceeds to the set payout operation of S4. The operation content of S4 is 1: Stopping fluctuation of the payout number display. 2: Opening the grand prize opening. 3: Measurement of the number of winning balls to the big winning opening. 4: Closing the special prize opening with the specified number. That is, the function of switching the display of the number of payouts for each specified time described in S7 of FIG. 5 is stopped, or the transfer to the display RAM in S9 is stopped. In the example shown in the drawing, the payout number display (50) is not changed until 50 winning balls enter the big winning opening 5 and are confirmed by the payout number detector 10.

  Since the start of FIG. 4 starts at regular intervals and reaches the end, in the next start that has entered the set payout operation in S4, the process proceeds from S1 (YES) to S4. That is, when the set payout operation is started, the start port detector of S2 is ON? This judgment is invalid. In other words, even if there is a winning at the start winning opening 4 in FIG. 1, only the number of payout balls (for example, three) determined for the winning opening is paid out, and the payout number display 6 This means that the number of payout operations shown in is not entered. Technically, it is possible to memorize the signal of the start winning opening and modify it for later use, but this is not desirable.

  Note that the term “during set payout operation” is a term used for convenience in order to distinguish from payout of a prize ball for winning in a normal winning opening or the like in the explanation of the present invention. It has a meaning close to “big hit”.

  The above embodiment has two problems. One is that there are as many as 50 winning balls in between opening and closing a single prize opening. This is contrary to the current rule of “10 or less winnings by opening and closing a single prize opening once”. However, this rule is in the rule that a maximum of 10 pieces may be repeated 15 times, and it is considered that the rule will change if there is no repetition as in this embodiment. It is done. In the other embodiments shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a case will be described in which the payout number value is 10 or less and sufficient game play is obtained.

  The second problem is that it is guaranteed that a lot of prize balls can be obtained if the start-up detector is turned on at the timing when a large value is shown on the payout number display. It is to say that the risk of being done is great.

  In order to cope with this problem, a first start port detector 8 and a second start port detector 9 are used as shown in FIG. It is desirable that the operation principle is different, for example, if not only two but only one is a mechanical contact system, the other is an optical sensor or a proximity sensor (oscillation change type).

  The fraudsters are attacked with unexpected methods and technologies such as powerful radio waves. In particular, care must be taken in a method in which a detector that has the same function as a detector that is sensitive to radio waves, which is commonly referred to as “hanging,” is installed in parallel with the detector. As in this embodiment, even if the first and second different types of detectors are used and even two “hangers” are installed, it becomes a weak point. However, in the present embodiment, only the description of words will be given, but it is determined whether or not it is normal by using the time difference that the normal winning ball passes through the distance between the first starting port detector 8 and the second starting port detector 9. There is a method, that is, two “hanging” signals for radio waves at the same time, but the passage of the sphere is a signal with a time difference. In addition, using “two types of hangings”, it will be described that it is easy to make a fraud detector because fraudulent radio waves with a time difference are characteristic, and fraud can be prevented. Moreover, although it demonstrated as a 1st, 2nd detector, there is no prescription | regulation of number in particular.

  Next, the difference from a conventional so-called digipachi machine will be described while explaining the state of the number of payouts using FIG.

  In the lower part of FIG. 6, 99 types of numbers 1 to 99 of the random number counter-RAN and the number of payout times assigned when each RAN value is selected by lot are shown as an example. In other words, when the RAN value is 1, it is decided to win 10 times (10) in the big prize opening, 30 for 3, 3, 5 for 4, 4 for 1, 5 for 1, 6 for 50,. Yes. In the case of the lower figure, if it is assumed that the time is 2 seconds at the times t1 and t2, there are shown cases where it is changed to 10, 30, 5, 99, 1, 50,. Of course, this is an example, and when the RAN values come in order of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,... Every 2 seconds, the RAN values are originally truly random. Therefore, the waveform cannot be quite constant.

  Although it cannot be a fixed shape, in the case shown in the table below, the average value is determined to be 50 times in a long time. Even if there are many times and times, there are characteristics close to the design value in a long-time game or a multi-player game. If it is a machine that pays out 15 prize balls at once (one ball to the big prize opening), 50x15 = 750 balls will be paid out. That is, if the arrangement of the nails is determined so that the balls to be fired enter the start winning opening 4 at a rate of once per 750 balls, the number to be driven and the number to be paid out coincide with each other.

  The above 750 is 7.5 minutes for a pachinko machine with 100 fires per minute. If a higher frequency is desired, it can be realized by increasing the small value of 1 or 2 and decreasing the large value of 99 or 50 so that the average value 50 becomes a low value such as 10. If the maximum value is not limited by 99 of the embodiment and is a large value such as 150 or 200, the ball launch performance is not inferior to that of a conventional tejipachi machine.

  Although the explanation has been delayed, the number-of-wins display 7 in FIG. 1 is a display that indicates the number of winnings that have already been won in the prize-winning slot within the number of recognized payouts.

  The upper part of FIG. 6 shows a case where the lottery of the RAN value is made random at 1 second, 2 seconds, and 3 seconds instead of every 2 seconds, and an example in which the diversification of game characteristics is enhanced is shown.

Although the difference between the conventional digipachi machine and the pachinko machine of the present invention is clear, for example, the pachinko machine of the present invention is a shooting game. The target changes one after another and randomly, and there is only one target that can be aimed at the time, but it is clearly in front of you.
On the other hand, the tejipachi machine is a rattling device. I don't know what will happen until the ball comes out. Actually, it is known in the lottery machine. In the case of pachinko machines, the player does not know until the end, but the machine is known at the time of winning. Therefore, further increase in reach operation, energization in conjunction with the actors, voice, etc., and a flourishing of production technology. Although it is also fun, it cannot be denied that it is an element related to “development”. In addition, it is also a fact that a large and expensive liquid crystal display device or the like is an essential component for advanced production, and as a result, the game is expensive.

  Next, another embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The pachinko machine of the embodiment of FIG. 1 is determined by whether or not it is awarded to the start winning opening 4, and it is easy to make a difference in the skill of the player. Also for the pachinko game hall, the nail near the starting winning opening There is a problem that requires advanced technology for management. In FIG. 2, a gate detector 13 is provided, and the winning rate of the ball to the gate detector is designed to be larger than the winning rate to the start winning port 4 of FIG. The winning signal to the gate detector is determined to be a hit by a known probability lottery (not shown). When winning, the solenoid (not shown) of the starter 12 with the electric accessory is operated to win the starter. The point that makes it easier.

  The payout number display 11 is also shown in a state using liquid crystal. The display includes a payout number display portion 11a and a winning number display portion 11b, each having the same function as that shown in FIG. In addition, a starter lottery display section 11c is also provided, and the progress and result of the lottery by the gate detector 13 can be displayed. An effect display portion 11d is also provided.

  In this example, the value shown in the payout number display section is an example limited to 1 to 9, and is set to be less than the maximum number of winnings 10 that can be recognized by one opening of the big winning mouth described as a problem in FIG. ing.

  Further, although only the text explanation is provided, a function is provided in which the winning probability in the lottery by the gate detector 13 is increased when the set payout operation is completed with a specific number of times value. This technology is an application of the technology used at the end of the jackpot operation of a conventional digipachi machine. For example, after completion of the set payout operation at 9, there is a possibility of winning at the start winning opening early and continuing at 9 It is a technology that gives the ball launch performance that is not inferior to conventional tejipachi machines.

  Referring to FIG. 6, the payout count values corresponding to the RAN values 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 are set to 1, 9, 7, 2, 5, 5, 5, 2,9. When the average number value is 5, but the payout number value is 1, 9, if the lottery of the gate detector after the end of the set payout operation is almost won, 3 out of 9 times, that is, 1 / 3 hits immediately. As a result, there is a game characteristic with a mountain valley, and sometimes good luck to get a continuous ball. In particular, if the number 9 of payouts in this example is set to a large value, it is possible to obtain the same performance as that of a conventional digipachi machine.

  The effect display unit 11d is a part representing an effect that gives a dream to this continuity. Compared with the production and excitement of the conventional digital cracker machine, it is a property that cannot be done with a very weak production, but it is considered a level suitable for healthy entertainment. In addition to simply winning and losing, it is important for entertainment to enjoy the waiting time for winning a prize to the gate detector and the waiting time in the lottery after winning a prize in the story display area. The inventor does not deny the utility in which the indicator is used. However, I don't think it is necessary to be mischievous.

  Next, another embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. This example is different in that the big prize opening is changed from the attacker type to the tulip type, the number of payout times display is two, and the start port detector is one. While the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2 has been described with an image of a pachinko machine as compared to a teddy cracker machine, this embodiment will be described as a development of a hill stand and a normal electric utility stand. Further, the same parts as those used in FIGS. 1 and 2 are designated by the same numbers.

  It has been mentioned above that one of the objects of the present invention is to reduce “sagging”. Even if there is no flip-flop, even if there is no flip-flop, even if there is a flip pedestal with only a tulip or an electric accessory, there is no “intrusion”. But then the player doesn't want to play. Appropriate gameplay, ability to play balls, and moderate euphoria are required for pachinko machines.

  Although FIG. 3 is drawn with the left and right big prize opening 5 and the left and right start doors 12 with electric accessories open, all are normally closed and the left and right payout number display 6 displays. The value that is being changed over time. Now, assuming that the ball that has been launched wins to the left of the gate detector 13, a lottery is made. If a winning is made during that time, the big winning opening on the left side will open and nine winning balls will be accepted when the number of payouts shown is displayed. Of course, the big prize opening will not be opened unless the lottery is removed or a prize is won in 0.5 seconds. However, since the 12 tulips are difficult to win even if they are closed, they are made into dimensions that allow them to enter, so regardless of the lottery result, win the starter with electric accessory and open the grand prize opening as above. There is also.

  Whether the above left set payout operation or the end of the operation, if the right gate detector 13 has a prize, the right side performs the same operation as described above on the left side. That is, the right and left operate as two groups independent of each other.

  Values randomly displayed on the number-of-payout display 6 can be designed in various ways, but the values used in FIG. Only 1, 2, 5, 7, and 9 appear, and the appearance rate of each is 1/9, 2/9, 5/9, 7/9, 7/9, and 9/9. It is assumed that the lottery with the gate detector is easy to win after the set payout operation of. Although detailed explanation is omitted, there are times when the balls are suddenly accumulated, and after a while, the number of balls that can be obtained is extremely small or the ball performance can be varied. The average characteristics of how to change can be designed by the size, type and appearance ratio of the displayed value, so there is little difference in winning and losing due to differences in the skill of the player, and it is a fair teji pachi machine that is easy to manage pachinko parlors It can be a pachinko machine that can be replaced.

  In the above description, the payout number value displayed is described as the payout number value corresponding to the random number counter-RAN, RAN value in FIGS. 5 and 6, but the RAN value itself may be displayed. Alternatively, it may be selected directly from a table of payout count values. What is important is the type, size, and appearance ratio of the display value, and the change in the creation method is part of the present invention.

  Next, human visual acuity and recognition related to the present invention will be described. The displayed number of payouts changes with time, and there is a difference between the visual recognition time of the ball that won the starting prize opening and the time until it is recognized by the circuit after changing to an electrical signal at the starting opening detector. There is a problem that makes the player question. It is one thing that people get used to, but I think it is important to have a technology that reduces the sense of discomfort by fully examining the time required for each part. Fairness and fairness are important, and the start-up detector is installed on the back of the game board in the text, but it is also a good method to install it on the game board surface that is visible to the player. It is also a good method to reduce misidentification and fatigue of eyes by disposing a payout number display near the start winning opening and reducing the movement distance of the line of sight.

  For fun games, it is important to consider reducing eye strain. In the text, [0028] stated that the number of payouts was changed every 2 seconds, or changed every 1 second, 2 seconds, or 3 seconds elsewhere, but this is an important display for the player, so watch closely It becomes a factor of fatigue. Although it is effective to reduce the frequency every 10 seconds or 20 seconds, it is stopped (to launch with the firing stop switch or to stop firing), and the difference in skill is given to be fair. The problem of lacking arises.

  In order to solve this problem, it is effective to notify the display of the number of payout times by voice, but it is effective to make the time until the fired ball enters the start winning opening random. For example, in the case of having a gate detector as in the embodiment of FIGS. 2 and 3, and operating the starter with electric accessory according to the lottery result, the time until the tulip opens including the lottery time. A method that does not make the value constant is effective. It is also effective to shorten the opening time of the tulip and lower the winning rate. A method in which the displayed time shown in the upper part of FIG. 6 changes at random is also effective for this problem.

  Finally, the “number” of the “payout count value” described in the specification and claims is the same as the number when treated as a clear numerical value even when it is changed to a picture. I would like to say that (1) the reduction of “intrusion”, (2) resistance to fraud, (3) maintenance of gameplay while maintaining sound gambling, and useful for pachinko machines. The
