Description

  The present invention has one or more intermediate variation stops and intermediate variation starts between the actual variation start and the actual variation stop of the symbol as one symbol variation pattern displayed for one lottery. The present invention relates to a ball game machine capable of adopting a variation pattern.

  Conventionally, as a ball game machine, a start area, a big prize opening, and a display device are provided in a game area where game balls are launched, and lottery is performed when the game ball passes through the start area, and the lottery result is a big hit A pachinko machine configured to stop and display the jackpot symbol on the display device and open the big prize opening to generate a profit state has been widely used.

  In this type of pachinko machine, in order to notify the player of the lottery result, and to further improve the notification performance, the display device displays a plurality of symbols in a variable pattern according to the lottery result. After that, the stop symbol corresponding to the lottery result is stopped and displayed. Generally, the variation pattern starts and stops the actual variation that starts and stops the symbol variation only once for one lottery. The fluctuation pattern has

  Here, from the end of the profit state where the big winning opening is opened until the lottery is drawn a predetermined number of times (for example, 4 times), the probability of winning the jackpot is higher than the normal probability (for example, 1/100) (for example, 1/100) , 1/10), a pachinko machine configured so as to be varied is put into practical use.

  According to this kind of so-called probability variation model, since the lottery lottery probability is high from the end of the profit state until the predetermined number of lotteries are performed, the probability of hitting continuously (for example, 2/5 = 1/10 × 4) is high, and the player is expected and uplifted. On the other hand, if a predetermined number of lotteries are completed without a big hit from the end of the profit state, then the big hit lottery probability is a normal probability. The player will be disappointed and will be more gameable in this respect.

  On the other hand, if a big hit is drawn by lottery, a lottery is drawn whether it is a specific big hit or a normal big hit, and in the case of a special big hit, the probability of the big hit lottery is higher than the normal probability from the end of the profit state until the next big hit At the same time, in the case of a normal jackpot, the bonus winning lottery probability is kept at the normal probability until the lottery is drawn for a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times). Pachinko machines (see, for example, Patent Document 1) are well known.

  The detailed explanation of the incidental profit operation will be omitted. However, the lottery result notification time is shortened (that is, the symbol variation time is shortened), and the start port assist device is operated to make it easier to pass the game ball to the start port. Realize frequent use.

  Further, in Patent Document 1, when a big jackpot is usually drawn, a limited number of limited advantageous operations (accompanying profit operations) (lottery number) from the end of the profit state until a predetermined number of times are drawn, sound, lamp In this case, a technique is disclosed in which a notification is made by display, and when the notification is made by display, a limited number of times (for example, “remaining XX times”) is displayed on a display device that variably displays symbols.

Japanese Patent No. 2772774

  In the above-mentioned model with a certain number of odd variations, the jackpot lottery probability is high and the remaining number of high-probability lotteries is decreased for each lottery from the end of the profit state until the predetermined number of lotteries are performed. In this case, the player can perceive the number of remaining high-probability lotteries from the number of symbol variations displayed on the display device, and the variation pattern corresponds to one lottery. In the case of only the variation pattern having the actual variation start and the actual variation stop for starting and stopping the symbol variation only once, the remaining number of high-probability lotteries can be accurately recognized.

  However, in particular, in a model in which the number of high-probability lotteries to be performed (for example, 4 times) is set small from the end of the profit state, there is a high possibility that the high-probability lottery will end without a big hit, as described above. Since the remaining number of high-probability lotteries can be easily and accurately recognized, on the contrary, there is a possibility that the aspect of lack of playability may be promoted.

  Therefore, the applicant of the present application is not limited to the first variation pattern having the actual variation start and the actual variation stop for starting and stopping the symbol variation only once for one lottery. Adopts the second variation pattern that has one or more (for example, once, twice, and three times) halfway variation stop and middle variation start to stop and start symbol variation between the variation start and the actual variation stop We are investigating the practical application of a ball game machine that has been made possible.

  As a result, even if the number of times of high probability lottery is small from the end of the profit state in a model with a certain number of probability variations, if the second variation pattern is adopted in the high probability lottery, Since the number of symbol changes is increased several times on the display, and the number of symbol stop displays increases, the player's expectation also increases, and the gameability is improved in that respect, but this can only be done by one lottery. For a player who knows that nothing has been done, the effect of improving the playability is reduced.

  In addition, since the number of symbol changes is displayed multiple times on the display for one lottery model with the probability variation number cut, a total of predetermined symbol variations are made, and the player has finished the high-probability lottery. Even if you think that, in fact, the high probability lottery may continue, but if the player does not notice that at all, adopt the second variation pattern to improve the gameability It also reduces the effect of doing.

  The object of the present invention is to change the probability of lottery winning lottery higher than the normal probability from the end of the profit state until a predetermined number of lotteries, and change the symbol variation between the actual variation start and the actual variation stop. It is possible to adopt the second variation pattern having one or more midway variation stop and midway variation start to be stopped and started to improve game playability, and in particular, a dummy regarding the continuation and termination of the high probability lottery is included. It is intended to provide a ball game machine capable of increasing the game effect improvement effect by employing the second variation pattern by performing notification that can enhance the game property.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, a main control means having a lottery means for lottery when a game ball passes through the starting opening of the game area, a display device, and a plurality of symbols according to a lottery result of the lottery means And a sub-control means for displaying on the display device to stop at a stop symbol corresponding to the lottery result, and when the lottery result is a big hit, the sub-control means stops displaying the big hit symbol on the display device In the ball game machine configured to cause the main control means to open a large winning opening in the game area and generate a profit state, the main control means uses the lottery result of the lottery means as the variation pattern. Based on the first variation pattern having an actual variation start and an actual variation stop that starts and stops the symbol variation only once for the one lottery, and between the actual variation start and the actual variation stop. Design A fluctuation pattern determining means for determining one of a second fluctuation pattern having one or a plurality of halfway fluctuation stop and halfway fluctuation start to stop and start the movement, and the lottery means a predetermined number of times from the end of the profit state Until the lottery, the probability variation means for varying the probability of lottery winning lottery higher than the normal probability, the sub-control means is the number of symbol variations from the end of the profit state, In the symbol variation by the second variation pattern, a display symbol variation number calculating means for calculating a display symbol variation number related to the number of symbol variation on the display in consideration of the midway variation stop or midway variation start, and the display symbol variation number It is characterized by comprising a design variation number display control means for causing the display device to display the display design variation number calculated by the calculation means.

  In this ball game machine, when a game ball passes through the start port of the game area, the lottery means of the main control means draws it, the display device is controlled by the sub control means, and the display device has a plurality of symbols. It is displayed so that it fluctuates with a variation pattern corresponding to the lottery result of the lottery means and stops with a stop symbol corresponding to the lottery result. Then, when the lottery result of the lottery means is a big win, the sub-control means stops and displays the big hit symbol on the display device, and the main control means opens the big winning opening in the game area to generate a profit state.

  In the main control means, the actual variation start and the actual variation are started and stopped by the variation pattern determining means as the variation pattern, based on the lottery result of the lottery means, and starting and stopping the symbol variation only once for that lottery. Either a first variation pattern having a stop and a second variation pattern having one or a plurality of intermediate variation stops and intermediate variation starts that are caused by stopping the symbol variation between the actual variation start and the actual variation stop. Is determined. Further, in the main control means, the probability that the lottery means the lottery is drawn a predetermined number of times from the end of the profit state until the lottery means is changed with a higher probability than the normal probability. Information on the variation pattern determined by the variation pattern determination unit is transmitted from the main control unit to the sub-control unit.

  In the sub-control means, the number of symbol fluctuations from the end of the profit state by the display symbol fluctuation number calculation means, and the symbol on the display taking into account the middle fluctuation stop or the middle fluctuation start in the symbol fluctuation by the second fluctuation pattern The display symbol variation number related to the number of variations is calculated, and the symbol variation number display control unit displays the display symbol variation number calculated by the display symbol variation number calculation unit on the display device.

Here, the following configuration can be adopted as a dependent claim of claim 1.
The sub-control unit calculates an actual symbol variation number that relates to the number of symbol variations corresponding to the number of lotteries of the lottery unit from the end of the profit state, and the actual symbol variation number A symbol variation number comparison unit for comparing the actual symbol variation number calculated by the calculation unit and the display symbol variation number; and the symbol variation number display control unit compares the actual symbol variation by the symbol variation number comparison unit. When the number of times and the number of display symbol variations differ, the symbol variation number display switching means for displaying the actual symbol variation number on the display device instead of the display symbol variation number after stopping the actual variation of the symbol (claim 2). ).

  The symbol variation number display switching means displays the actual symbol variation number instead of the display symbol variation number when the display symbol variation number corresponds to the predetermined number of times (Claim 3). When the actual symbol variation count is the set number of times and the second variation pattern is adopted for the next symbol variation, the symbol variation count display switching means replaces the displayed symbol variation count instead of the actual symbol variation count. The display device displays the scheduled number of symbol fluctuations related to the number of symbol variations taking into account the mid-term variation stop or the mid-term variation start scheduled to be displayed in the two variation patterns (Claim 4).

  The sub-control means includes: an effect control means having the display symbol variation number calculating means, an actual symbol variation number calculating means, and a symbol variation number comparing means; and a display control means having the symbol variation number display control means, The effect control means is a stop symbol that is displayed at the time of symbol fluctuation stop based on the lottery result of the lottery means, and in the case of symbol variation due to the second variation pattern, a stop symbol that is further displayed at the time of mid-term variation stop. And a second effect pattern that is displayed for each change in the design independently of the stop effect determination means for determining the change and the main effect pattern corresponding to the change pattern determined by the change pattern determination means, In the case of the symbol variation due to, further comprising a sub-effect pattern determining means for determining a sub-effect pattern to be displayed corresponding to the start of each mid-way variation of the symbol, The output control means transmits information on the variation pattern received from the main control means at the start of the actual variation of the symbol to the display control means, and at the start of each variation of the symbol including the middle variation start of the symbol in the second variation pattern, The stop symbol determined by the stop symbol determining means, the sub-effect pattern determined by the sub-effect pattern determining means, and the information on the number of display symbol fluctuations calculated by the display symbol fluctuation number calculating means are transmitted to the display control means. (Claim 5).

  According to the ball game machine of the present invention, from the end of the profit state until the lottery is drawn a predetermined number of times, the probability of drawing the big hit is changed with a higher probability than the normal probability, and the actual change start and the actual change stop are It is possible to adopt the second variation pattern that has one or more intermediate variation stops and intermediate variation starts that are stopped by stopping the symbol variation in the meantime to improve gameability, and in particular, continuation and termination of high-probability lottery It is possible to increase the gaming effect by adopting the second variation pattern by providing notification that can improve the gaming property including the dummy.

  In the ball game machine of the present invention, a lottery is drawn when the game ball passes through the start of the game area, and a plurality of symbols fluctuate in a variation pattern according to the lottery result and stop at a stop symbol corresponding to the lottery result. Thus, when the lottery result is a big win, the big win symbol is stopped and displayed on the display device, the big winning opening of the game area is opened, and a profit state is generated.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko machine 1 includes a game board 2, a game area 3 is formed on the surface of the game board 2 by being surrounded by a substantially annular rail 4, and a game ball is launched into the game area 3 by a launch rail. 5 is guided and fired.

  The first start opening 7 and the big winning opening 9 are open / close type winning openings, and a game ball can be won in both the open and closed states in the first start opening 7, but the game in the open state is more game than the closed state. The ball is easy to win, and the game ball cannot be won in the large winning opening 9 in the closed state, and the game ball is very easy to win in the open state.

  When a game ball wins at the first start opening 7, a plurality of first symbols A are displayed on the LCD 11 so as to change and stop. When the stop symbol becomes a big hit symbol, the big winning opening 9 is opened and the profit state is reached. Will occur. In this profit state, the grand prize opening 9 is opened, and when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are won in the grand prize opening 9, the grand prize opening 9 is closed. That is, when the number of big hit rounds reaches the set number of times (2 or 8 or 16 times), the profit state ends.

  When a game ball wins the second starting port 8, a plurality of second symbols B are displayed on the LCD 11 so as to fluctuate and stop. When the stopped symbol becomes a winning symbol, the first starting port 7 is opened. The time for the second symbol B to fluctuate and the time for the first start port 8 to open are variable depending on the gaming state.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the pachinko machine 1 is provided with a main control board 15, a payout control board 16, an effect control board 17, and a liquid crystal control board 18 on the back side of the game board 2, and these control boards 15-18. Each is provided with a computer including a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM.

  The main control board 15 uses the computer to input the detection signal of the game ball from the SW 20 of the normal winning opening 6, the SW 21 of the first starting opening 7, the SW 22 of the second starting opening 8, and the SW of the large winning opening 9. The opening / closing SOL 24 of the first start opening 7 and the opening / closing SOL 25 of the special winning opening 9 are driven and controlled. Note that SOL is a solenoid actuator.

  A payout mechanism 26 for paying out a winning ball according to the winning of a game ball to the normal winning opening 6, the first starting opening 7, the second starting opening 8, and the big winning opening 9 is provided. Thus, a signal relating to the winning ball is input from the main control board 15, the payout motor 27 of the payout mechanism 26 is driven and controlled, and a detection signal is input from the payout count SW 28 of the payout mechanism 26.

  A launch mechanism 29 for launching a game ball to the game area 3 is provided. When the player holds the handle and turns on the launch SW 31, the launch SOL 30 of the launch mechanism 29 is driven via the launch control board 32, where the launch In the control board 32, the launch SOL 30 is driven only when the launch permission signal is input from the payout control board 16.

  The effect control board 17 is a board for executing a game effect, and a signal related to the game effect is input from the main control board 15 by the computer, and the speaker 33, the decoration lamp 34, the first hold lamp 35, the second The holding lamp 36 is driven and controlled. Here, as for the first holding lamp 35, for example, four lamps are provided, and the number of the holding balls that have not been subjected to the fluctuation of the first symbol A among the game balls won in the first starting port 7 ( For example, a maximum of four lamps are lit.

  The liquid crystal control board 18 is a board for executing a display effect of the game effects, and the computer inputs a signal related to the display effect from the effect control board 17 and drives and controls the LCD unit 37 having the LCD 11. . The power supply board 38 supplies power to the driven parts including the control boards 15-18.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the main control means 40 configured by a computer of the main control board 15 includes various means 41 to 48. The lottery value extraction means 41 has lottery value generation means (not shown) for generating a plurality of lottery values (for example, 1 to 100) with random numbers, and is generated when a detection signal is received from the first start port SW21. The lottery value being extracted is extracted, and the extracted lottery value is stored in the lottery value storage means 42. For example, the lottery value storage means 42 stores a maximum of four undetermined lottery values corresponding to the reserved balls, and only when the undetermined lottery value is less than four, the lottery value extraction means 41, The lottery value storage means 42 operates.

  The judging means 43 reads the undetermined lottery values stored in the lottery value storage means 42 one by one at the start of symbol variation, and if the lottery value is a preset big hit value (for example, 50), the big hit If it is a numerical value other than the big hit value, it is determined that it is off. Here, the lottery value extraction means 41, the lottery value storage means 42, and the determination means 43 correspond to lottery means for lottery when a game ball passes through the start port 7 of the game area 3. This corresponds to the lottery result of the lottery means.

  A plurality of first symbols A are displayed on the LCD 11 so as to fluctuate in a variation pattern corresponding to the determination result of the determination means 43 and stop at a stop symbol corresponding to the determination result. Sometimes, when the first symbol A is configured to start changing, and the undetermined lottery value is stored in the lottery value storage means 42 during the fluctuation of the first symbol A, the fluctuation of the first symbol A At the time of stoppage, the determination means 43 reads out the lottery value stored first among the undetermined lottery values stored in the lottery value storage means 42 and uses it for the determination.

  The out / big hit type determining means 44 is a means for determining the type of out / big hit based on the determination result of the determining means 43. As shown in FIG. A jackpot type storage means 44a and a miss / hit type selection means 44b for selecting any one of these types of miss / hit by lottery. For example, when the determination result of the determination means 43 is a big hit, one of big hit 1 (probability variation 16R), big hit 2 (probability variation 8R), big hit 3 (probability variation 2R), etc. is selected and determined.

  When the determination result of the determining means 43 is a big hit, the profit state generating means 45 drives and controls the big prize opening / closing SOL 25 as described above after the first symbol A is stopped and displayed on the LCD 11 as a big hit symbol. The winning prize opening 9 is opened and a profit state is generated. At this time, the number of big hit rounds is the number of times specified by the type of big hit determined by the out / big hit type determining means 44 (for example, 16R for big hit 1) (Times)).

  The probability changing means 46 changes the probability of determining that the jackpot is higher than the normal probability until the determining means 43 determines a predetermined number of times (for example, 4 times) from the end of the profit state. Specifically, the probability of jackpot determination is 1/100 in the normal state, but it is reduced to 1/10 by increasing the number of jackpot values from 1 to 10.

  Based on the determination result of the determination unit 43, the variation pattern determination unit 47 has a first variation pattern having an actual variation start and an actual variation stop for starting and stopping the symbol variation only once for the one determination. And a second variation pattern having one or a plurality of intermediate variation stops and intermediate variation starts to be started by stopping the symbol variation between the actual variation start and the actual variation stop.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the fluctuation pattern determination means 47 has a fluctuation pattern storage means 47a and a fluctuation pattern selection means 47b, and the fluctuation pattern storage means 47a receives pseudo fluctuations (intermediate fluctuation stop and intermediate fluctuation start). Outgoing fluctuation pattern 1 having one time, Outgoing fluctuation pattern 2 having two pseudo fluctuations, Outgoing fluctuation pattern 3 having three pseudo fluctuations, Outgoing fluctuation pattern 4 not including pseudo fluctuations, ... Big hit having one pseudo fluctuation A fluctuation pattern 1, a big hit fluctuation pattern 2 having two pseudo fluctuations, a big hit fluctuation pattern 3 having three pseudo fluctuations, a big hit fluctuation pattern 4 not including a pseudo fluctuation are stored.

  When the determination result of the determination unit 43 is out of the range, the variation pattern selection unit 47b selects one of the out-of-range variation patterns 1, 2, 3, 4,... Stored in the variation pattern storage unit 47a by lottery and determines When the determination result of the means 43 is a big hit, one of the big hit fluctuation patterns 1, 2, 3, 4... Stored in the fluctuation pattern storage means 47a is selected by lottery.

  The out-of-range variation pattern 4 corresponds to the first variation pattern, the out-of-range variation pattern 1 or 2 or 3 corresponds to the second variation pattern, and the big hit variation pattern 4 corresponds to the first variation pattern. 1 or 2 or 3 corresponds to the second variation pattern.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the main control means 40 uses the command transmission means 48 (see FIG. 3) to execute a big hit end command (A), a fluctuation pattern designation command (B), a miss / hit type designation command (C), A fluctuation stop command (D) is transmitted to the effect control means 50. The command (B) is a command for designating the variation pattern determined by the variation pattern determining means 47, and the command (C) is a command for designating the type of outbreak / big hit determined by the outbreak / big hit type determining means 44. .

  Regarding the transmission timing of these commands, the command (A) is at the end of the profit state, the command (B) and the command (C) are at the start of symbol variation, and the command (D) is at the actual variation stop of the first symbol A. .

  As shown in FIG. 7, the sub-control means 50 configured by the computer of the effect control board 17 includes various means 51 to 55. The stop symbol determining unit 51 stops the variation of the first symbol A based on the determination result of the determining unit 43, that is, the variation pattern designation command (B) and the miss / hit type command (C) received from the main control unit 40. In the case of a symbol variation due to the second variation pattern, a halt symbol to be displayed at the time of midway variation stop is determined.

  That is, in the case of out-of-place and big hit variation pattern 4, one actual stop symbol at the time of actual variation stop is determined, and in the case of out-of-hit and big hit variation pattern 1, one actual stop symbol and 1 at the time of intermediate variation stop are determined. If one stop symbol is determined, and it is off and big hit variation pattern 2, one actual stop symbol and two half stop symbols are determined. If it is off and big hit variation pattern 3, one actual stop symbol is determined. And three halfway stop symbols are determined.

  The sub-effect pattern determining unit 52 is a sub-effect pattern that is displayed for each variation of the first symbol A independently of the main effect pattern corresponding to the variation pattern determined by the variation pattern determining unit 47 of the main control unit 40. Thus, in the case of symbol variation due to the second variation pattern, a sub-effect pattern to be displayed corresponding to the start of each midway variation of the first symbol A is further determined.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the sub-effect pattern determining unit 52 includes a sub-effect pattern storage unit 52a and a sub-effect pattern selection unit 52b. The sub-effect pattern storage unit 52a includes a plurality of types of sub-effect patterns (sub-effect patterns). Effect patterns 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... Are stored. For example, at least two or more sub-effect patterns of these sub-effect patterns are those that are not adversely affected by the effects, for example, can be produced simultaneously.

  The sub-effect pattern selection unit 52b selects one or more of a plurality of types of sub-effect patterns stored in the sub-effect pattern storage unit 52a based on the variation pattern designation command (B) received from the main control unit 40. Select by lottery. In this case, if the command specified by the fluctuation pattern designation command (B) is out of the big hit fluctuation pattern 4, one set of sub-effects patterns is determined. The sub-effect patterns are determined, and in the case of the off / big hit variation pattern 2, three sets of sub-effect patterns are determined, and in the case of the off / big hit variation pattern 3, four sets of sub-effect patterns are selected and determined.

  The determination of the sub-effect pattern may be influenced by the determination result of the determination unit 43 of the main control unit 40 or may not be received. When receiving, when the determination result of the determination means 43 is a big hit, a rare subsidiary production pattern may be determined, or many subsidiary production patterns may be determined at once.

  The variation number calculating means 53 includes a display symbol variation number calculating means 53a and an actual symbol variation number calculating means 53b. The display symbol variation number calculating means 53a is a symbol variation of the first symbol A from the end of the profit state. The number of display symbol fluctuations related to the number of symbol fluctuations on the display in consideration of the stoppage of the midway fluctuation or the start of the midway fluctuation is calculated in the symbol fluctuation by the second fluctuation pattern.

  Specifically, on the basis of the fluctuation pattern designation command (B) received from the main control means 40, every fluctuation start or fluctuation stop including one half fluctuation start or half fluctuation start of the first symbol A. Assuming that determination by the determination means 43 of the main control means 40 is performed once for one symbol variation (including pseudo variation), a predetermined number of times that the high probability determination of the determination means 43 is performed from the end of the profit state The display remaining symbol variation number F1 until the symbol variation corresponding to (for example, 4 times) is completed is calculated.

  The actual symbol variation number calculating means 53b calculates the actual symbol variation number related to the number of symbol variations of the first symbol A corresponding to the determination number of the determining unit 43 of the main control unit 40 from the end of the profit state. Specifically, based on the variation pattern designation command (B) received from the main control means 40, the high probability determination of the determination means 43 from the end of the profit state every time the actual variation of the first symbol A starts or stops. The actual remaining symbol variation number F2 until the symbol variation corresponding to a predetermined number of times (for example, four times) is completed is calculated.

  The symbol variation number comparing means 54 compares the display symbol variation number calculated by the display symbol variation number calculating unit 53a with the actual symbol variation number calculated by the actual symbol variation number calculating unit 53b. Specifically, the display remaining symbol variation frequency F1 is compared with the actual remaining symbol variation frequency F2.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the effect control means 50 uses the command transmission means 55 (see FIG. 7) to receive a jackpot end command (A), a variation pattern designation command (B), a stop symbol designation command (E), and a sub-effect. The designation command (F), display symbol variation frequency command (G), variation stop command (D), actual symbol variation frequency command (H), and display scheduled symbol variation frequency command (I) are transmitted to the liquid crystal control means 60.

  The command (E) is a command for designating a stop symbol for each variation including the pseudo variation determined by the stop symbol determining means 51, and the command (F) is a variation including the pseudo variation determined by the sub-effect pattern determining means 52. A command for designating each sub-effect pattern, command (G) is a command indicating the number of display symbol fluctuations (display residual symbol fluctuation frequency F1) calculated by the display symbol fluctuation frequency calculating means 53a, and command (H) is an actual symbol fluctuation. This is a command indicating the actual symbol variation count (actual residual symbol variation count F2) calculated by the frequency calculation means 53b.

  Regarding the transmission timing of these commands, when commands (A), (B), and (D) are received from the main control means 40, the commands (E), (F), and (G) start to change midway as a set of display commands. It is the time of each fluctuation start including.

  The transmission timing of the command (H) is determined after the actual fluctuation of the first symbol A is stopped when the actual symbol fluctuation number of the first symbol A is different from the display symbol fluctuation number by the comparison by the symbol fluctuation number comparing means 54. In the case of the present embodiment, when the display remaining symbol variation count F1 is smaller than the actual remaining symbol variation count F2 and the display remaining symbol variation count F1 is 1, the actual variation stop of the first symbol A It is.

  The transmission timing of the command (I) is determined after the actual fluctuation of the first symbol A is stopped when the actual fluctuation number of the first symbol A is the set number of times and the second fluctuation pattern is adopted for the next symbol fluctuation. In the case of the present embodiment, when the display remaining symbol variation frequency F1 is 0 and the actual remaining symbol variation frequency F2 is 1, the first variation occurs when the second variation pattern is adopted for the next symbol variation. This is when the actual variation of symbol A is stopped.

  The scheduled display symbol variation frequency F3 designated by the command (I) is determined based on the variation pattern designation command (B) received from the main control means 40 of the second variation pattern adopted for the next symbol variation. For example, in the case of out-of-place, big hit fluctuation pattern 4, “1”, in case of out-of-place, big hit fluctuation pattern 1, “3”, in case of out-of-place, big hit fluctuation pattern 2, “out”, out-of-place, big hit fluctuation In the case of pattern 3, it is “4”.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the liquid crystal control means 60 configured by a computer on the liquid crystal control board 18 includes various means 61 to 64. The symbol display control unit 61 causes the LCD 11 to display a plurality of first symbols A in a specified variation pattern based on the variation pattern designation command (B) received from the effect control unit 50 and receive from the effect control unit 50. Based on the stop symbol designation command (E), the stop symbol is displayed with the designated stop symbol.

  The main effect display control means 62 causes the LCD 11 to display the main effect pattern corresponding to the specified variation pattern based on the variation pattern designation command (B) received from the effect control means 50, and the sub-effect display control means 63 The designated sub-effect pattern is displayed on the LCD 11 based on the sub-effect pattern designation command (F) received from the effect control means 50.

  The symbol variation number display control means 64 is based on the display symbol variation number command (G) received from the effect control means 50, and the display symbol variation number (display) calculated by the display symbol variation number calculation means 53a of the effect control means 50 is displayed. The number of remaining symbol variations F1) is displayed on the LCD 11.

  The symbol variation count display control means 64 has symbol variation count display switching means 64a, and the symbol variation count display switching means 64a is compared with the actual symbol variation count and display symbol by comparison by the symbol variation count comparison means 54 of the effect control means 50. When the number of fluctuations is different, that is, when the display remaining symbol variation number F1 is smaller than the actual remaining symbol variation number F2 and the display remaining symbol variation number F1 is 0, the actual number received from the effect control means 50 is received. Based on the variation symbol variation frequency command (H), the actual remaining symbol variation frequency F2 is displayed on the LCD 11.

  Further, the symbol variation frequency display switching means 64a is configured so that when the actual symbol variation frequency is the set number of times and the second variation pattern is adopted for the next symbol variation, that is, the display remaining symbol variation frequency F1 becomes 0, When the symbol variation number F2 is 1, when the second variation pattern is adopted for the next symbol variation, the scheduled display symbol variation is based on the scheduled display symbol variation number command (I) received from the effect control means 50. The frequency F3 is displayed on the LCD 11.

Next, the main operation of the pachinko machine 1 will be specifically described.
FIG. 11 is a time chart for symbol variation in the first variation pattern, which is performed for the first determination by the determination means 43 after the profit state ends. As can be seen from this figure, the liquid crystal control means 60 receives the jackpot end command (A) from the effect control means 50 at the end of the profit state, and causes the LCD 11 to display a probability variation entry screen 70A as shown in FIG.

  Next, the liquid crystal control means 60 receives from the effect control means 50 the change pattern designation command (B) of the first change pattern, the stop symbol designation command (E), the sub-effect pattern designation command (F), and the display symbol variation frequency command. In response to (G), as shown in FIG. 16, on the LCD 11, the actual change of the first symbol A is started on the symbol display unit 11 a to display the first symbol A variably, and the main effect 71 of the volleyball is displayed. “Serve” is displayed to start sub-directories related to volleyball, “Shoes” 75, “Whistle” 76, “Ball” 77 are displayed, and the number of remaining symbols F1 displayed on the variation count display section 11b “Remaining 4 times” indicating (F1 = 4) is displayed.

  Here, in the sub-effects, “shoes” 75, “flute” 76, and “ball” 77 are a set of a plurality of sub-effect patterns determined by the sub-effect pattern selection means 52 b of the effect control means 50. In the case of one variation pattern, only one set of sub-effect patterns is determined, and the one set of sub-effect patterns is displayed. Similarly, only one stop symbol is determined for the stop symbol, and the one stop symbol is displayed as an actual stop symbol. Next, the liquid crystal control means 60 receives the change stop command (D) from the effect control means 50 after the change of the first symbol A, and the LCD 11 displays “receive” as the main effect 71 as shown in FIG. Display is performed, and the actual variation of the first symbol A is stopped on the symbol display unit 11a to completely stop and display the first symbol A.

  Here, in FIG. 17, when the determination result of the determination unit 43 is out, the liquid crystal control unit 60 removes the first symbol A from the symbol display unit 11 a and stops and displays the symbol (for example, “412”). When the determination result of the determination unit 43 is a big hit, as shown in FIG. 20, the LCD 11 displays “Service Ace” as the main effect 71, and the first symbol A is displayed on the symbol display unit 11a as a big hit symbol (for example, “777”) and stop display.

  Next, FIG. 12 shows a second variation pattern (the outlier variation pattern shown in FIG. 5) that is performed once for the determination by the determination means 43 for the first time after the end of the profit state, and that has the midway variation stop and the midway variation start once. It is a time chart about the design variation in 1 or big hit variation pattern 1). As can be seen from this figure, the liquid crystal control means 60 receives the jackpot end command (A) from the effect control means 50 at the end of the profit state, and causes the LCD 11 to display a probability variation entry screen 70A as shown in FIG.

  Next, the liquid crystal control means 60 receives from the effect control means 50 a change pattern designation command (B) for the second change pattern, a stop symbol designation command (E), a sub-effect pattern designation command (F), and a display symbol variation frequency command. In response to (G), as shown in FIG. 16, on the LCD 11, the actual change of the first symbol A is started on the symbol display unit 11 a to display the first symbol A variably, and the main effect 71 of the volleyball is displayed. “Serve” is displayed to start sub-directories related to volleyball, “Shoes” 75, “Whistle” 76, “Ball” 77 are displayed, and the number of remaining symbols F1 displayed on the variation count display section 11b “Remaining 4 times” indicating (F1 = 4) is displayed.

  Here, in the sub-effects, “shoes” 75, “flute” 76, and “ball” 77 are a set of a plurality of sub-effect patterns determined by the sub-effect pattern selection means 52 b of the effect control means 50. In the case of the two variation pattern, two sets of sub-effect patterns are determined, and one set of sub-effect patterns is displayed. In addition, two stop symbols are determined for the stop symbols, and one of the stop symbols is displayed as a halfway stop symbol.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 17, the liquid crystal control means 60 displays “Receive” as the main effect 71 on the LCD 11 and stops the actual fluctuation of the first symbol A on the symbol display unit 11a. 1 Symbol A is stopped and displayed. Here, regardless of whether the determination result of the determination unit 43 is out of place or the big hit, the liquid crystal control unit 60 removes the first symbol A from the symbol display unit 11a and stops and displays it with the symbol (for example, “412”). In other words, a stop symbol is always determined as an intermediate stop symbol.

  Next, the liquid crystal control means 60 receives the stop symbol designation command (E), the sub-effect pattern designation command (F), and the display symbol variation frequency command (G) from the effect control means 50, and the LCD 11 displays the symbol display. The part 11a starts the middle variation of the first symbol A, displays the first symbol A in a variable manner, displays the display after "Serve" as the main effect 71, newly starts the subsidiary effect, and displays the number of times of variation In “11b”, “remaining 3 times” indicating the display remaining symbol variation frequency F1 (F1 = 3) is displayed.

  FIG. 18 shows a screen for stopping the actual fluctuation after the start of the midway fluctuation, but the display of the sub-effect and the number of remaining display symbols is continued. As shown in FIG. "75" and "ball" 77 are displayed, and "remaining 3 times" indicating the display remaining symbol variation frequency F1 (F1 = 3) is displayed on the variation frequency display portion 11b. Here, “shoes” 75 and “ball” 77 as sub-effects are the remaining one sub-effect pattern of the determined two sets of sub-effect patterns, and the remaining one sub-effect pattern is displayed. Is done.

  Then, the liquid crystal control means 60 receives the change stop command (D) from the effect control means 50 after the change of the first symbol A, and displays “Toss” as the main effect 71 on the LCD 11, and the symbol display section 11a. The actual variation of the first symbol A is stopped and the first symbol A is completely stopped and displayed. About this stop symbol, it is the remaining one set of stop symbols of the determined two stop symbols, and the stop symbol is displayed as an actual stop symbol.

  Here, in FIG. 18, when the determination result of the determination unit 43 is off, the liquid crystal control unit 60 removes the first symbol A from the symbol display unit 11 a and stops and displays it on the symbol (for example, “332”). When the determination result of the determination unit 43 is a big hit, as shown in FIG. 20, the LCD 11 displays “Service Ace” as the main effect 71, and the first symbol A is displayed on the symbol display unit 11a as a big hit symbol (for example, “777”) and stop display.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram schematically showing four sets of change patterns that can be employed. These four sets of variation patterns are expressed by combinations of these [T1], [F], and [T2] when the variation pattern of FIG. 12 is divided into pattern portions of [T1], [F], and [T2]. The

  [T1] → [T2] in FIG. 13A corresponds to the variation pattern 4 in FIG. 5 corresponding to the variation pattern in FIG. 11, and the actual variation start and the actual variation stop are performed once. [T1] → [F] → [T2] in FIG. 13 (b) corresponds to the variation pattern in FIG. 12 and is a big hit variation pattern 1 in FIG. 5, and the actual variation start and the actual variation stop are performed once. In the meantime, the midway change stop and the midway change start are performed once.

  [T1] → [F] → [F] → [T2] in FIG. 13 (c) is a big hit variation pattern 2 out of FIG. 5, and actual variation start and actual variation stop are performed once. The midway change stop and the midway change start are performed twice. [T1] → [F] → [F] → [F] → [T2] in FIG. 13D is a big hit variation pattern 3 in FIG. 5, and the actual variation start and the actual variation stop are performed once. In the meantime, midway change stop and midway change start are performed three times.

  In FIG. 14, when the symbol variation is performed four times for the four determinations by the determination means 43 after the profit state is ended, the variation pattern of FIG. Is adopted. In this case, the display of FIG. 15 → FIG. 16 → FIG. 17 → FIG. 18 → FIG. 19 → FIG. 20 is performed on the LCD 11, and only the actual variation start and the actual variation stop are repeated four times. However, in this display, the lottery determination is made three times from the beginning, and it is a big hit in the last one lottery determination. If the lottery determination other than the last is a big win, the big win screen is displayed for the lottery determination, and the subsequent fluctuation display is canceled and the profit state is displayed. A screen can be adopted.

  Here, when the symbol variation is implemented four times for the four determinations of the determination means 43 after the profit state is finished, the variation pattern of FIG. 24 is adopted for the four symbol variations. This will be described in detail. In FIG. 24, nine symbol changes are started and stopped, including midway variation start and midway variation stop. In this case, the actual variation count, the actual remaining symbol variation count, the state, the command transmitted from the main control means 40 to the effect control means 50, the command transmitted from the effect control means 50 to the liquid crystal control means 60, and the liquid crystal display are shown. The chart is shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 25, in the big hit end state, the actual number of fluctuations is 0, and the big hit end command is transmitted from the main control means 40 to the effect control means 50, and from the effect control means 50 to the liquid crystal control means 60, As shown in FIG. 15, a big hit end screen 70 </ b> A is displayed on the LCD 11.

  Next, the actual variation number “1” and the actual remaining symbol variation number “4” are obtained, and a normal variation state is reached. At this time, a variation pattern designation command for designating the first variation pattern is sent from the main control means 40 to effect control. The display command (stop symbol designation command, sub-effect pattern designation command, display symbol variation frequency command) is transmitted from the effect control means 50 to the liquid crystal control means. 60, and the display symbol variation count “4” is displayed on the LCD 11, as shown in FIGS.

  After the normal fluctuation state, the actual fluctuation count is “2” and the actual remaining symbol fluctuation count is “3”. The fluctuation pattern is designated as the second fluctuation pattern including two pseudo fluctuations. The designation command is transmitted from the main control means 40 to the effect control means 50, from the effect control means 50 to the liquid crystal control means 60, and further, the display command is transmitted from the effect control means 50 to the liquid crystal control means 60, as shown in FIG. As shown, the number of remaining display symbol changes “3” is displayed on the LCD 11.

  A display command is transmitted from the effect control means 50 to the liquid crystal control means 60 after the first halfway stop of the symbol in the three consecutive fluctuation state, and as shown in FIG. 19, the display remaining symbol fluctuation count “2” is displayed on the LCD 11. After the second symbol stop, the display command is transmitted from the effect control means 50 to the liquid crystal control means 60, and as shown in FIG. 23, the probability change end screen 70B and the display remaining symbol variation count “0” are displayed on the LCD 11, and thereafter, the probability change reversion screen 70C is displayed on the LCD 11, as shown in FIG.

  After the display of the certainty change revival screen 70C, the actual variation number “3” and the actual remaining symbol variation number “2” are obtained, and two continuous variation states are obtained. At this time, the second variation pattern including one pseudo variation is obtained. A change pattern designation command to be designated is transmitted from the main control means 40 to the effect control means 50, from the effect control means 50 to the liquid crystal control means 60, and further, a display command is transmitted from the effect control means 50 to the liquid crystal control means 60. As shown in FIG. 19, the actual symbol variation count “2” is displayed on the LCD 11.

  The display command is transmitted from the effect control means 50 to the liquid crystal control means 60 after the symbol has been stopped twice in the continuous fluctuation state, and as shown in FIG. 19, the display remaining symbol fluctuation number “2” is displayed on the LCD 11. The display command is transmitted from the effect control means 50 to the liquid crystal control means 60 after the symbol has been stopped, and as shown in FIG. 22, the display remaining symbol variation number “1” is displayed on the LCD 11, and subsequently, as shown in FIG. As described above, the probability change end screen 70B and the display remaining symbol variation count “0” are displayed on the LCD 11, and thereafter, the probability change restoration screen 70C is displayed on the LCD 11, as shown in FIG.

  After the display of the probability change revival screen 70C, the actual fluctuation number “4” and the actual remaining symbol fluctuation number “1” are obtained, and three continuous fluctuation states are obtained. At this time, the second fluctuation pattern including two pseudo fluctuations is obtained. A change pattern designation command to be designated is transmitted from the main control means 40 to the effect control means 50, from the effect control means 50 to the liquid crystal control means 60, and further, a display command is transmitted from the effect control means 50 to the liquid crystal control means 60. As shown in FIG. 18, the display-scheduled symbol variation number “3” is displayed on the LCD 11. Here, the display symbol variation count is also updated to “3”.

  A display command is transmitted from the effect control means 50 to the liquid crystal control means 60 after the first halfway stop of the symbol in the three consecutive fluctuation state, and as shown in FIG. 19, the display remaining symbol fluctuation count “2” is displayed on the LCD 11. After the second symbol stop, the display command is transmitted from the effect control means 50 to the liquid crystal control means 60, and as shown in FIG. 23, the probability variation end screen 70B and the display remaining symbol variation count “0” are displayed on the LCD 11, and the probability variation state is terminated.

The pachinko machine 1 described above has the following effects.
Since the determination means 43 includes the probability changing means 46 for changing the probability of determining the big hit to a higher probability than the normal probability until the determination is made a predetermined number of times from the end of the profit state, the predetermined number of times from the end of the profit state Until the next lottery is held, the probability of winning big hits will be high, so the probability of consecutive big hits will increase, and the player will be expected and boosted, but without hitting from the end of the profit state After the predetermined number of lotteries are completed, the jackpot lottery probability returns to the normal probability, so that the player is disappointed, and in this respect, the game becomes rich.

  In addition, based on the determination result of the determination unit 43, as the variation pattern, a first variation pattern having an actual variation start and an actual variation stop for starting and stopping the symbol variation only once for the one determination. And a variation pattern determining means 47 for determining any one of a second variation pattern having one or a plurality of intermediate variation stops and intermediate variation starts to stop and start symbol variation between the actual variation start and the actual variation stop. Even if the number of times the high probability lottery is performed from the end of the profit state is small, when the second variation pattern is adopted in the high probability lottery, on the display for one variation pattern, Since the symbol variation is performed a plurality of times and the number of symbol stop displays increases, the player's expectation also increases, and the game performance is improved in that respect.

  The number of symbol fluctuations from the end of the profit state, and in the symbol fluctuation by the second fluctuation pattern, the display symbol fluctuation number related to the number of symbol fluctuations on the display in consideration of the middle fluctuation stop or the middle fluctuation start. Since the display symbol variation number calculating means 53a to be calculated and the symbol variation number display control means 64 for displaying the display symbol variation number calculated by the display symbol variation number calculating means 53a on the LCD 11 are provided, the symbol variation including the pseudo variation is included. Even if a player knows that a pattern change of a pattern is performed only once in a single lottery, it will appear as if the lottery is being performed in each symbol change. The effect of improving the performance can be maintained.

  In addition, the actual symbol variation number calculating unit 53b that calculates the actual symbol variation number related to the number of symbol variations corresponding to the number of determinations of the determination unit 43 from the end of the profit state is calculated by the actual symbol variation number calculating unit 53b. The symbol variation number display control unit 64 compares the actual symbol variation number and the display symbol variation number calculated by the display symbol variation number calculation unit 53a. The symbol variation number display control unit 64 includes a symbol variation number comparison unit. When the actual symbol variation count and the display symbol variation count differ from each other by the comparison 54, the symbol variation count display switching means 64a for displaying the actual symbol variation count on the LCD 11 in place of the display symbol variation count after stopping the actual symbol variation. Equipped with.

  Therefore, it is possible to notify the fact that the number of times that the high probability lottery can be received has decreased, and the actual number is a little more, and this can be notified, and in this case, the number of actual symbol fluctuations can be displayed. Therefore, the actual remaining number of lotteries can be grasped. In other words, when such a switching display is not performed, since a single lottery is performed a plurality of symbol variations on the display, a predetermined number of symbol variations are performed in total, and the player can perform a high probability lottery. Even if you think that it has ended, there is a case where the high probability lottery continues, but if the player does not notice that at all, in order to improve the gameability, the second variation pattern Although the effects of adopting the method are reduced, these problems can be solved.

  In this case, the symbol variation number display switching means 64a displays the actual symbol variation number instead of the display symbol variation number when the display symbol variation number corresponds to the predetermined number of times (four times). Since it is possible to continue the probability variation in the sense that the variation state has ended, the interest increases, and in this case, the actual symbol variation count can be displayed.

  In addition, when the actual symbol variation count is the set number of times and the second variation pattern is adopted for the next symbol variation, the symbol variation count display switching means 64a is not the actual symbol variation count instead of the display symbol variation count. Since the display scheduled symbol variation number related to the number of symbol variations including the midpoint variation stop or midway variation start scheduled to be displayed in the second variation pattern is displayed on the LCD 11, even though it was actually the last lottery, The gameability can be improved by making it appear that a plurality of lotteries are performed.

  That is, according to this pachinko machine 1, the probability of lottery winning lottery is changed with a higher probability than the normal probability from the end of the profit state until the predetermined number of times, and between the actual change start and the actual change stop. It is possible to adopt a second variation pattern that has one or more intermediate variation stops and intermediate variation starts to stop and start symbol variation to improve game playability, and in particular, regarding continuation and termination of high-probability lottery It is possible to increase the gaming effect by adopting the second variation pattern by performing notification that can improve the gaming property including the dummy.

  The present invention can be implemented with various modifications without departing from the gist of the present invention. The present invention can be applied to various types of pachinko machines, and can be applied to pachinko machines. Application to various ball game machines other than the above is also possible.
