Description

  The present invention relates to a ball game machine such as a pachinko game machine.

  In a pachinko game machine, which is a kind of bullet ball game machine, when a game ball launched on the game board surface from the launching device wins the start winning opening, it is a lottery to determine whether or not to generate a big hit as a specific gaming state as a trigger As an effect display based on the lottery result, a display that performs a predetermined symbol variation display on a display device provided on the game board surface is widely used.

  In such a pachinko machine, when a game ball wins a start winning opening during a symbol variation display that is expected to generate a specific game state, the game ball becomes a hold ball, and the number of hold balls is an LED, a liquid crystal display, etc. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine, in the effect display that displays the one lottery result, a pseudo variation display is performed several times, making it appear as if a plurality of lotteries have been performed. There is also a display obtained by adding the number of reserved balls corresponding to the number of times of variable display (for example, see Patent Document 2).
JP 2005-185822 A JP 2005-261711 A

  However, the conventional pachinko gaming machines shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2 only display the number of reserved balls, and such a number display is monotonous and lacks interest for the player. It was.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a ball game machine with improved playability by devising a display of a reserved ball for a player.

  The present invention is provided in a game area, a winning winning opening that allows a game ball to win, a winning ball detecting means for detecting a winning of a gaming ball to the starting winning opening, and a winning ball detected by the winning ball detecting means In this case, a lottery value is extracted from a predetermined numerical value group, a numerical value holding means for holding the lottery value, a lottery means for performing lottery using the numerical value held by the numerical value holding means, and a lottery result by the lottery means A bullet ball that includes a notification mode determining means for determining a notification mode for notifying the player based on the lottery result, and that shifts to a specific gaming state advantageous to the player when the lottery result is a win. In the gaming machine, a pseudo game area that is isolated from the game area and provided at a position visible to the player, and a pseudo game ball that is the same as or simulates the game ball is emitted to the pseudo game area. Ball release equipment And a presentation mode corresponding to the notification mode determined by the notification mode determination unit, and a one-lot lottery result production showing a lottery result by the lottery unit executed once or more, and zero or once or more The effect specifying means for specifying the effect form composed of a combination of the unsuccessful effect that indicates the unsuccessful being performed, the effect display device for displaying the image specified in the effect aspect, and the emission from the pseudosphere emitting device The number of pseudo game balls to be determined is a number corresponding to the number of executions of the unjustified effect specified by the effect specifying means, and the number of pseudo game balls is determined. Release timing determining means for determining the timing to perform for each pseudo game ball to be released, and instructing the pseudo game ball discharge device to release the pseudo game ball based on the determined timing; According to the determination by the pseudo winning ball that the pseudo game ball can win, the pseudo winning ball detecting means for detecting the winning of the pseudo game ball to the pseudo winning port, and the release timing determining means, When a game ball is released, an effect sound generating means for generating a predetermined effect sound, a lottery waiting number specifying means for specifying the number of numerical values for lottery held by the numerical value holding means, and the pseudo Each time a pseudo game ball is detected by the winning ball detection means, the pseudo game ball number specifying means for specifying the number of winning prizes in the pseudo winning opening, the number specified by the lottery waiting number specifying means, and the number A number calculating means for calculating the total number of the pseudo game balls specified by the pseudo game ball number specifying means, and a display device for displaying the total number calculated by the number calculating means. And

  According to the ball game machine of the present invention, whether or not the lottery value is extracted from the predetermined value group at the timing when the game ball wins the start winning opening, and the lottery value is used to shift to the specific game state. A lottery is held. Then, a notification mode for notifying the player of the lottery result is determined. Based on the determined notification mode, a one-lot lottery result effect that is executed one or more times and a one-line unjustified effect that is executed zero or more times are specified as the effect mode. Then, a number of pseudo game balls (for example, the same number as the number of executions) corresponding to the number of executions of the specified unsuccessful effects in one passage are released from the pseudo game ball discharge device at a predetermined timing, and the pseudo game balls are simulated. Each time a prize is entered at the prize opening (pseudo prize), in addition to the number of game balls (holding balls) that are waiting for a lottery after winning at the start prize opening, the number of pseudo game balls won at the pseudo prize opening is added. Displayed. At that time, when a pseudo game ball is released at a specific timing, a predetermined effect sound is generated.

  By the above pseudo winning, the number of game balls won in the winning opening can be increased and the impression that there are more reserved balls can be given to the player. In other words, instead of simply displaying an increase in the number of balls held, the number of balls held due to winning at the starting prize opening increases by allowing the player to visually recognize the winning at the pseudo prize opening, which is a factor that increases the number of balls held. Can give the impression.

  In addition, since the pseudo game balls are released from the pseudo game ball discharge device at a predetermined timing, the number of reserved balls displayed on the display device is rich in change, and the player is determined by the timing at which each pseudo game ball is released. On the other hand, it is possible to predict the subsequent gaming state or to give unexpectedness without predicting it. In particular, when a pseudo game ball is released at a specific timing, it is possible to enhance the effect by generating a predetermined effect sound. For example, by using impact sound such as explosion sound, burst sound, warning sound, and diffusing power as predetermined performance sound, it is possible to give a player who is playing a game or a person in the vicinity thereof a subsequent gaming state. You can make an attractive performance that will make you expect and invite you to play.

  Further, the effect display device displays, for example, a specific image as many times as the number of pseudo winning prizes as the unjustified effect of one passage. Therefore, it is possible to give an impression to the player as if the lottery was received by the number of the released pseudo game balls.

  As described above, according to the bullet ball game machine of the present invention, unlike the case of simply displaying the number of reserved balls, the status display of the reserved balls is rich in interest, and the game can be improved.

  Preferably, the effect sound generating means generates a specific effect sound when the pseudo game ball is released before the one-lot lottery result effect is executed as the specific timing. Accordingly, it is possible to notify the player that a lottery result effect of one passage will be made from now on using the effect sound in addition to the release of the pseudo game ball, and the effect of the effect can be enhanced. In particular, if a section of lottery results presentation is executed multiple times, it will be difficult to distinguish from a section of unjustified presentations, but before a section of lottery results presentation is executed, a pseudo game ball is released and specified. The effect sound is generated, so that the player can distinguish the one-lot lottery result effect and the one-pass unjustified effect.

  The production mode is such that after one or more passages of unsuccessful presentations are executed, one passage of lottery result presentations are executed, and the release timing determination means responds to the lottery results. With the predetermined probability, it is determined that the last pseudo game ball is released during the execution of the unjustified effect of the last passage to be executed, and the effect sound generating means is executed last as the specific timing. It is preferable to generate a specific effect sound when the last pseudo game ball is released during the execution of the unsuccessful effect of one passage. In the case where a lottery result effect of one section is executed once at the end of the unsuccessful effect of one section, for example, when the lottery result shifts to a specific game state with a big hit, the lottery result is out and the specific game If the state does not change, the pseudo-game ball is released with a low probability during the execution of the unjustified effect of the one paragraph just before executing the lottery result effect of the one section. When a pseudo-game ball is released during the execution of the last section of the misappropriation effect, a specific effect sound is generated to give the player the details of the lottery result effect of the passage, and consequently the lottery result. It is possible to predict the content of the sound by using sound, and it is possible to exhibit a high performance effect.

  The effect sound generating means preferably generates a specific winning sound as the effect sound when the pseudo game ball released at the specific timing wins the pseudo winning award. By generating a winning sound as an effect sound when the simulated game ball wins the simulated winning opening, it is possible to impress the player that the simulated game ball is released at a specific timing and simulated. For example, as a winning sound, in addition to the imitation sound at the time of winning a prize, the sound of explosive sounds, bursting sounds, warning sounds, etc., and sounds with diffusive power can be used to give the player and those around him a subsequent gaming state. High performance effects can be expected.

  Further, the effect sound generating means may generate the effect sound when the pseudo game ball is released at the specific timing. Thereby, when the pseudo game ball is released, it is possible to give an impression to the player that the pseudo game ball has been released at a specific timing, and it is possible to enhance the effect of sound.

  The number calculating means preferably calculates the total by updating the number specified by the pseudo game ball number specifying means to a number reduced by one each time the unjustified effect is executed. . Thereby, an impression as if the unjustified effect is equivalent to the lottery result effect can be given to the player.

  In an embodiment of the present invention, a main control board and an effect control board are provided, and the main control board includes the numerical value holding means, the lottery means, the notification mode determining means, and the lottery waiting number specifying means. The effect control board includes the effect specifying means, the pseudo game ball number determining means, the release timing determining means, the effect sound generating means, the pseudo game ball number specifying means, and the number calculation. Means. Thereby, the effect mode corresponding to the notification mode determined by the main control board can be easily realized by the effect control board.

  The notification mode determining means preferably specifies the time for notifying the player of the lottery result by the lottery means as the notification mode. The notification mode for notifying the player of the lottery result corresponds to the time from when the lottery is performed until the player is notified of the lottery result. Therefore, the notification mode determining means can easily determine the notification mode by specifying the time for notifying the player of the lottery result.

  FIG. 1 is a front external view of a pachinko gaming machine 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the gaming portion of the pachinko gaming machine 1, a game board 3 is disposed inside the upper glass plate of the front frame 2 that can be opened and closed.

A speaker 10 for outputting various sounds such as sound effects and BGM is provided.

  FIG. 2 is a front view of the game board 3. On the board surface of the game board 3, a game area 3 a including various winning areas and a pseudo game area 3 b provided around the liquid crystal display device 4 so as to be isolated from the game area 3 a are provided. The game area 3a includes a start winning opening 11, a variable winning opening 12, a large winning opening 15, and an out opening 16. The game balls that have flowed into the gaming area 3a are the start winning opening 11, the variable winning opening 12 and the like. Alternatively, the right as a game ball is extinguished by winning at the big winning opening 15 or collecting from the out opening 16.

  The start winning opening 11 is provided at a boundary portion with the game area 3a at the upper part of the pseudo game area 3b, and has a function of starting a “special symbol lottery” when a game ball is won. Below the pseudo game area 3b, a variable winning device (ordinary electric accessory) 13 that constitutes the variable winning opening 12 is provided. This is because the “normal symbol lottery” is performed when the game ball passes through the normal symbol operating gate 14 arranged in the game area 3a, and the game ball wins the winning opening 12 based on the lottery result. A winning device having an open / close blade that can be converted into a first state that is difficult to perform and a second state that is easy to win. When the game ball wins the start winning opening 11, for example, five prize balls are paid out to the upper plate 6. In addition, you may have a function which starts "special symbol lottery" with the winning of the game ball to the variable winning opening 12 as an opportunity.

  Below the ordinary electric accessory 13, there is provided a large winning opening (so-called attacker) 15 that can be converted into a state in which a game ball cannot be won and a state in which a plurality of winnings can be won. The big prize opening 15 is normally in a state where the game ball cannot be won (closed state), but the main control which will be described later by “special symbol lottery” triggered by the game ball having won the start prize opening 11. If the board 33 (FIG. 4) decides to generate a “hit” that shifts to the special gaming state, it is converted to a state in which a large number of game balls can be won simultaneously (open state) for a certain period of time (this is This is a so-called jackpot gaming state and corresponds to the specific gaming state of the present invention). Each time one game ball is won, for example, 15 prize balls are paid out to the upper plate 6.

  An out port 16 is provided below the big winning port 15, and a game ball (out ball) reaching the lower end of the game area 3 a without winning on the game board 3 is discharged out of the game area 3 a. In addition, an arc-shaped rail 17 is installed on the left side of the game area 3a, and when the player operates the handle 8, a game ball is launched from a launching device (not shown). It moves upward along this rail 17 and is driven into the game area 3a.

  The liquid crystal display device 4 is a display means for performing “effect symbol variation display” for notifying the result of the “special symbol lottery” on the effect symbol display unit 4a in front of it. In the “effect symbol variation display”, a plurality of effect symbols displayed as images are variably displayed on the effect symbol display unit 4a, so that three rows of rotating reels of the slot machine are displayed in a pseudo manner. Then, the effect symbols such as letters, numbers, figures, etc. are stopped on the rotary reel display section of each row, and the result of the “special symbol lottery” is notified to the player by using the combination of the effect symbols stopped. ing. Although the details will be described later, to notify the player of the combination of the above-mentioned effect symbols once is defined as “one-line effect” and “special symbol lottery” determined on the main control board 33 (FIG. 4). The “effect design variation display” consisting of one or more “one-line effects” is displayed on the liquid crystal display according to the effect mode determined by the effect control board 36 (FIG. 4) based on the notification mode for notifying the lottery result It is displayed on the device 4.

  In addition, the liquid crystal display device 4 includes a holding ball pseudo display unit 4b at the lower front portion thereof. The reserved sphere pseudo display unit 4b displays the number of reserved spheres with a symbol having a predetermined shape (for example, a star shape). The number of held balls displayed here is the number of game balls (holding balls) that are waiting for the “Special Symbol Lottery” after winning in the start winning opening 11 (hereinafter referred to as “the number of genuine reserved balls”). In addition, the total number is the sum of the number of simulated game balls (hereinafter referred to as “pseudo-reserved number of balls”) won in a pseudo prize opening 23 (FIG. 3), which will be described later. Here, the number of genuine reserved balls is the same as the number stored in the operation holding storage device M described later (in the present embodiment, up to four can be stored), and above the liquid crystal display device 4. The genuine reserved ball number display unit 19 constituted by the four LEDs 19a to 19d arranged is configured to display the number stored in the operation holding storage device M, that is, the genuine reserved ball number.

  A normal symbol display unit 18 is provided above the liquid crystal display device 4 along with the genuine reserved ball number display unit 19. The normal symbol display unit 18 includes a pair of LEDs 18a and 18b. When the game ball passes through the normal symbol operation gate 14, the normal symbol display unit 18 performs a variable display in which the LEDs are alternately lit for a predetermined time. When the normal symbol display unit 18 is in a predetermined lighting state after the predetermined time has elapsed, the normal electric accessory 13 is converted into the first state for a predetermined time.

  The main control board 33 is a circuit device including a CPU having a function of controlling the operation of the ball game machine, and a special symbol lottery process and a normal symbol lottery process according to the detection signals of the switches SW1 to SW4. Then, display command transmission processing for giving instructions such as effect symbol display, normal symbol display, and operation hold storage display based on these lotteries is performed.

  A plurality of types of display commands are transmitted from the main control board 33 to the effect control board 36, and the display command is a stop for designating a combination of effect symbols corresponding to the result of the “special symbol lottery”. A design command, a genuine reserved ball number command and an effect command, which will be described later, are included. In response to these display commands, the effect control board 36 generates an effect signal that causes the effect symbol display unit 4a including the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4 to perform an effect operation. The main control board 33 is connected to a normal symbol display section 18 and a genuine reserved ball number display section 19, and each light emitting element (LED) is turned on in response to a display signal from the main control board 33. Let

  The payout control board 34 is connected to a ball break switch 40, a payout sensor 41, a payout motor 42, etc., and pays out game balls according to a payout signal from the main control board 33, as well as lending between balls. In accordance with the rental signal from the machine 5, the game balls are paid out (rented out). Further, a launch switch (handle angle sensor) 43, a touch sensor 44, a launch motor 45, and the like are connected to the launch motor control board 35. When the launch switch 43 and the touch sensor 44 are ON, the launch motor 45 is driven. Let

  The effect control board 36 is connected to the liquid crystal display device 4 and causes the liquid crystal display device 4 to display an image corresponding to the display command in response to a display command from the main control board 33. In addition, a sound control board 38 to which the speaker 10 is connected is connected to the effect control board 36, and the effect control board 36 is connected via the sound control board 38 based on the display command received from the main control board 33. A predetermined sound is output from the speaker 10. Furthermore, the effect control board 36 is connected to a lamp control board 39 to which the light emitting element L for illumination is connected. The effect control board 36 is based on the display command received from the main control board 33. A predetermined lighting operation is performed by the light-emitting element L for electrical decoration via 39.

  Further, the effect control board 36 is connected with a pseudo prize opening switch SW6 for detecting a prize of a pseudo game ball with respect to the above-described pseudo prize opening 23, and a storage number detection switch SW7 for detecting a pseudo game ball stored in the storage path 22b. Has been.

  Further, the effect control board 36 is connected to the above-described pseudo ball discharge device 22, and the sprocket 22c is driven by a control signal from the effect control board 36 so that a predetermined number of pseudo game balls stored in the storage path 22b are obtained. Let it drain.

  The main control board 33 also has the functions of the lottery means, notification mode determining means and lottery waiting number specifying means of the present invention, and the production control board 36 is the pseudo game ball number determining means and the number of pseudo game balls of the present invention. It also has functions as specifying means, number calculating means, effect specifying means, release timing determining means, and effect sound generating means. Further, the operation suspension storage device M has a function as the numerical storage means of the present invention and has a configuration independent of the main control board 33. This is realized by an internal memory of the main control board 33 or the like. You may do it. Furthermore, although each control board 33-39 mentioned above is comprised by hardware, such as CPU, ROM, RAM, these each control board may be comprised by common hardware, and each of these control Part or all of the substrate may be configured by different hardware.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment will be described.

  First, the overall operation will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. When a game ball wins (start winning) with respect to the start winning opening 11 in a state where the player has fired a game ball to play a ball game, the main control board 33 detects a detection signal from the start opening switch SW2. In response to this, a jackpot determination numerical value acquisition process related to the special symbol lottery is performed (STEP 10).

  When the big hit determination value is acquired, it is determined whether the current state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is “special symbol variation game” (STEP 20) and “big hit game” (STEP 30), When the game state is not set (when each determination result of STEP20 and STEP30 is NO), a special symbol lottery based on the acquired jackpot determination numerical value is performed and a display command is determined based on the lottery result. Time processing is performed (STEP 40). Note that “in the special symbol variation game” means that the process related to the display command determined based on the “special symbol lottery” performed previously is incomplete.

  In the above variation start process performed by the main control board 33, an effect command for designating how to perform “effect symbol variation display” is determined (STEP 40). This effect command is transmitted to the effect control board 36, and the effect control board 36 performs "effect symbol variation display" corresponding to the effect command, that is, effect display control (FIGS. 8 and 9) for determining the effect mode. It is like that. Then, a “one-line effect” corresponding to the effect mode is displayed on the effect symbol display unit 4 a of the liquid crystal display device 4, and an effect corresponding to the effect mode via the audio control board 38 and the lamp control board 28. The sound output from the speaker 10 and the lighting operation of the light emitting element L for electrical decoration are performed.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in STEP 20 or STEP 30 that a special symbol variation game or a big hit game is in progress, the series of processing ends without performing the variation start processing in STEP 40.

  A series of processing of these STEPs 10 to 40 is repeatedly performed at a constant cycle by an internal clock (not shown) of the main control board 33. Therefore, at a certain moment, even if a special symbol variation game or a big hit game is being performed in STEP 20 or STEP 30, the variation start processing of STEP 40 is performed at the time when these gaming states are completed.

  The above is the overall operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment.

  Next, according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 6, the contents of the “big hit determination numerical value acquisition process” in STEP 10 will be described.

  First, the main control board 33 operates when the game ball wins the start winning opening 11 (start winning) at a predetermined timing and detects a detection signal (ON) from the start opening switch SW2 (YES in STEP 11). It is determined whether or not the number of genuine reserved balls (N) stored in the storage device M is equal to or greater than the upper limit (STEP 12). Here, the upper limit number is, for example, four, and the excess number of start winnings exceeding the upper limit number is invalid (in the case of YES in STEP12).

  Therefore, when the number of genuine reserved balls is equal to or less than the upper limit number (NO in STEP 12), the number of genuine reserved balls N is incremented (N → N + 1) (STEP 13), and a big hit determination numerical value acquisition process is performed (STEP 14). In the big hit determination numerical value acquisition process, an arbitrary numerical value is extracted from a predetermined numerical group (for example, 0 to 255) to be used as the big hit determination numerical value. Then, the jackpot determination value is stored in a predetermined area of the operation suspension storage device M (STEP 15).

  Subsequently, the main control board 33 transmits a true hold ball number command indicating the true hold ball number N at this time to the effect control board 36 (STEP 16), and ends the big hit determination numerical value acquisition process.

  Next, according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 7, the content of the “variation start process” in STEP 40 will be described.

  First, the main control board 33 determines whether or not there is a genuine reserved ball (STEP 41). That is, the big hit determination numerical value is stored in a predetermined area of the operation hold storage device M, and it is determined whether or not there is a genuine hold ball waiting for the special symbol lottery.

  If there is a genuine reserved ball (YES in STEP 41), the main control board 33 decrements the number N of the genuine reserved balls (N → N-1) (STEP 42), and then stores it in the operation holding storage device M. A jackpot determination (special symbol lottery) process is performed using one of the stored numbers for determining the jackpot (STEP 43).

  On the other hand, when the genuine reserved ball does not exist (NO in STEP 41), the process of the change start process is terminated.

  In STEP 43, the big hit determination is “big hit” when the big hit determination numerical value is a predetermined value, and “out” when the numerical value is any other value. For example, when the predetermined value is 255, the big hit determination numerical value is “big hit” when the numerical value for the big hit determination is 255, and “out” when the numerical value other than 255 is set.

  Following the big hit determination processing in STEP 43, one numerical value is arbitrarily extracted from the numerical values of 0 to 9 as the variation pattern selection counter C (STEP 44). Although the details will be described later, the variation pattern selection counter C serves as a notification mode for notifying the player of the result of the special symbol lottery, that is, an index for determining the above-described effect command (see STEPs 46 and 47).

  Then, it is determined whether or not the result of the determination in STEP 43 is a big hit (STEP 45). In the case of a big hit, a big hit notification mode for notifying the player of the big hit is determined (STEP 46). The off notification mode to be notified to the player is determined (STEP 47).

  Each notification mode of jackpot or miss is determined as shown in the following Table 1 in the form of the total variation time T of the special symbol variation game.

1
For example, if the determination result in STEP 43 is a big hit and the variation pattern selection counter C acquired in STEP 44 is 3, the “display design variation display” of “reach 2” is executed on the liquid crystal display device 2. A notification mode (production command) is selected. This effect command designates the total variation time T = 21 corresponding to “reach 2”. Further, when the determination result in STEP 43 is a big hit and the variation pattern selection counter C acquired in STEP 44 is 9, “production effect variation display” that “performs one passage for four times” is performed on the liquid crystal display device 2. A notification mode (production command) to be executed is selected. This effect command designates the total variation time T = 100 corresponding to the “design symbol display” that “performs one passage four times”.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in STEP 43 is not satisfied and the variation pattern selection counter C acquired in STEP 44 is 3, a notice that “production pattern variation display” “not reach (non-reach)” is executed is performed. A mode (effect command) is selected. This effect command designates the total variation time T = 10 corresponding to “production symbol variation display” “not reach”. Further, when the variation pattern selection counter C acquired in STEP 44 is 8, there is a notification mode (production command) in which the “design symbol display” is performed, which is “performs one passage twice”. Selected. This effect command designates the total variation time T = 60 corresponding to the “effect symbol variation display” that “performs one passage twice”.

  When the big hit or miss notification mode is determined in STEP 46 or 47, an effect command corresponding to the notification mode and a true reserved ball number command indicating the true reserved ball number N at this time are output from the main control board 33. It is transmitted to the substrate 36 (STEP 48). Here, the transmitted effect command indicates the notification mode for notifying the player of the determination result of STEP 43, that is, the total variation time and the lottery result.

  Next, according to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the contents of “effect display control” performed on the effect control board 36 when an effect command is received will be described.

  First, in FIG. 8, when the effect control board 36 receives the effect command transmitted from the main control board 33 (STEP 501), the effect control board 36 determines the effect mode based on the effect command (STEP 502). Here, from the notification mode for notifying the player of the determination result of STEP 43 in FIG. 7, that is, from the production command indicating the total variation time T, what kind of “production symbol variation display” is determined. To do.

  For example, when the effect control board 36 receives an effect command with a big hit and a total variation time T = 100, according to [Table 1], the “effect symbol variation display” of “perform four passages of effect” is executed. Decide that. Here, the above-mentioned “design symbol variation display” displays the combination of production symbols whose result of “special symbol lottery” indicates unsuccessful for three times, and finally the effect symbol of which the result of “special symbol lottery” indicates a prize. It is an effect mode in which the combination is displayed once. The combination of performance symbols announced to the player at the last “Section of the Stage” is the result of the lottery of the “Special Design Lottery” that has been performed. Corresponds to “result production”. The other combinations of performance symbols that are announced to the player in the “one-line production” indicate unjustified and correspond to “one-line unjustified production”.

  Further, in STEP 502, from the total variation time T, the number of pseudo fluctuations L for specifying how many times the “one-line unjustified effect” is irrelevant to the “special symbol lottery” lottery result, and each “one-line unjustified” Variation time T1, T2,..., And TL of the “effect” and the variation time T (L + 1) of the “one-lot lottery result effect” to be executed last are specified.

  When the effect mode is determined in STEP 502, the effect control board 36 resets the variation number flag i for managing how many times the “one-line effect” has been executed, and resets the number of the pseudo-pending balls n (STEP 503). . Here, in order to newly receive a production command and appropriately execute a new “production design variation display”, the pseudo variation flag i and the number of pseudo reserved balls n are reset to zero. Furthermore, before executing the “one-lot lottery result effect”, a premium flag serving as an index as to whether or not to release one pseudo game ball from the pseudo ball release device 22 is reset (STEP 503).

  Next, in order to release a pseudo game ball corresponding to the number of pseudo fluctuations L specified in STEP 502 from the pseudo ball discharge device 22, first, a predetermined number of pseudo game balls are stored in the storage path 22b by a signal from the storage number detection switch SW7. Is stored (STEP 504-1).

  If a predetermined number of pseudo game balls are stored (YES in STEP 504-1), whether or not the premium flag is set, first, whether the number of pseudo fluctuations L specified in STEP 502 is greater than zero. It is determined whether or not (STEP 504-2).

  When the number of pseudo fluctuations L is greater than 0 (YES in STEP 504-2), it is determined whether or not the received effect command is a big hit (STEP 504-2). A lottery process with a winning probability of 80% is performed (STEP504-4), and if the received effect command is out of place, a lottery process with a winning probability of 20% is performed (STEP504-5).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the lottery process for determining whether or not to set the premium flag is a win (STEP 504-6). The subtracted L-1 is set (STEP504-7), and the premium flag is set (STEP504-8). On the other hand, if not winning, the number of pseudo fluctuations L is set as the number of pseudo spheres discharged (STEP 504-9). Also, in STEP 504-2, even when the number of times of pseudo variation L is 0 (STEP 504-2), the number of times of pseudo variation L is set as the number of pseudo spheres discharged.

  When the pseudo ball discharge number is set in this way (STEP 504-7, STEP 504-9), the pseudo game ball is discharged from the pseudo ball discharge device 22 by the set pseudo ball discharge number (STEP 505). Specifically, the sprocket 22c of the pseudo sphere ejecting device 22 is rotated by a predetermined angle by the number corresponding to the number of pseudo spheres discharged, and the same number of pseudo game balls as the number of pseudo spheres discharged are simulated game areas from the pseudo sphere discharge port 22d. Release to 3b. The released pseudo game ball is visually recognized by the player from the time it is released until it wins the pseudo prize opening 23.

  Hereinafter, processing following FIG. 8 will be described according to the flowchart shown in FIG. The simulated game ball released to the simulated game area 3 b rolls toward the simulated prize opening 23 and wins the pseudo prize opening 23. At this time, the pseudo winning opening switch SW6 is turned on, and the winning of the pseudo game ball is detected (STEP 506). Then, the effect control board 36 increments (n → n + 1) the number of pseudo reserved balls n for managing the number of pseudo reserved balls (STEP 507).

  Next, the effect control board 36 determines whether or not the latest genuine reserved ball number command has been received (STEP 508), and if received, updates the genuine reserved ball number N to the latest value (STEP 509). ). Then, the number n of pseudo-reserved balls incremented in STEP 507 and the total number (n + N) of the number of genuine reserved spheres N updated in STEP 509 are simulated in a star shape on the retained-sphere pseudo display unit 4b of the liquid crystal display device 4. (STEP 510).

  Here, the number of reserved balls displayed in a star shape on the reserved ball pseudo-display unit 4b is a pseudo game ball (simulated) which is released from the simulated ball discharge device 22 to the number of the genuine reserved balls N and wins the pseudo winning opening 23. The number n of (holding balls) is added. Therefore, the player may give an impression as if the number N of genuinely reserved balls won in the start winning slot 11 has increased by the number n of the pseudo winning balls 23 that have been released and won in the pseudo winning slot 23. Unlike the case where the number of genuine reserved balls is simply displayed, the status display of the reserved balls is rich in interest and can improve the playability.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in STEP 504-1 that a predetermined number of pseudo game balls are not stored in the storage path 22b from the detection value from the stored number detection switch SW7, the pseudo game balls are extracted from the pseudo ball discharge device 22. The process skips to STEP 508 without releasing and performs the processing below STEP 508. In this case, since the pseudo game balls are not released from the pseudo ball emitting device 22, the number of pseudo game balls n is 0, and only the number N of genuine reserved balls is displayed in a star shape on the reserved ball pseudo display portion 4b. (STEP 510).

  Also, in STEP 508, if the latest genuine reserved ball number command has not been received, the processing from STEP 510 onward is performed without updating the genuine reserved series N. In this case, on the reserved ball pseudo display portion 4b, the number obtained by adding the pseudo reserved ball number n incremented in STEP 507 to the previous genuine reserved ball number N is displayed in a star shape (STEP 510).

  Next, the effect control board 36 determines whether the i-th “one-line effect” specified by the change count flag i is executed from the change count flag i (STEP 511). While the i-th “section effect” specified by the variation count flag i is being executed, a part of the variation time Ti of the “section effect” remains. Therefore, specifically, it is determined whether or not the variation time Ti of the i-th “one-section effect” identified by the variation count flag i is 0 (Ti ≠ 0?).

  For example, when this effect display control is performed first, i = 0 and T0 = 0, so that the determination result in STEP 511 is NO. On the other hand, during the execution of the i-th “section effect” specified by the variation count flag i, the variation time Ti of the “section effect” is Ti ≠ 0, so the determination in STEP 511 The result is YES.

  The effect control board 36 determines whether i = 0 if the “one-line effect” specified by the variation count flag i is not executed (NO in STEP 511) (STEP 512). In this determination, it is determined whether or not the effect display control is performed first. If the effect display control is to be performed first, i = 0 is reset in STEP 503, so that STEP 512 is determined as YES.

  Next, when effect display control is performed for the first time (YES in STEP 512), the variation count flag i is incremented (0 → 0 + 1) (STEP 513), and the variation time T1 of the first “one-line unjustified effect” is performed. Is set, and the first “one paragraph unjustified effect” is executed (STEP 514). Then, the process returns to STEP 506, and YES is determined in STEP 511 until the first “one-section effect” is completed.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in STEP 512 that i = 0 is not satisfied (NO in STEP 512), the effect display control is not performed first, and thus the “one-line effect” that has already been executed is completed. Therefore, in the case of NO in STEP 512, the next “execution of one passage” (i + 1th “production of one passage” specified by the variation count flag i + 1) adds 1 to the pseudo variation count L. It is determined whether or not the number of fluctuations is larger (STEP 516). Here, the number obtained by adding 1 to the number of pseudo fluctuations L is the total number of fluctuations, and here, it is determined whether or not there is a “one-line effect” to be executed next. Note that 1 is added to the number of pseudo fluctuations L. At the end when the number of pseudo fluctuations is repeated L times, a “one-line lottery result effect” indicating the lottery result of the executed “special symbol lottery” is executed. It is to be done.

  Then, if there is no “one-line effect” to be executed next (YES in STEP 516), the next-executed “one-line effect” does not exist, and the effect display control is terminated.

  On the other hand, in the case of the determination result that there is a “one-line effect” to be executed next (NO in STEP 516), it is determined whether or not the number of pseudo-reserved balls n is greater than 0 (STEP 517). If the number of reserved balls n is greater than 0 (YES in STEP 517), the number of pseudo-held balls n is decremented (n → n-1) (STEP 518). Then, the variation count flag i is incremented (i → i + 1) (STEP 513), the variation time Ti + 1 of the (i + 1) th “section effect” is set, and the (i + 1) th “section effect” is executed ( (STEP514).

  As described above, in STEP 518, the number n of pseudo-pending balls is decremented (n → n−1), so that the next time the processing from STEP 506 is executed, the number of pseudo-pending balls n decremented in STEP 510 is held. A number pseudo display is made, and the player can be informed that the next “one-line production” has started using one of the numbers of the pseudo-pending balls.

  On the other hand, when the number n of pseudo-reserved balls is 0 (NO in STEP 517), the processing from STEP 513 is performed without decrementing the number n of pseudo-reserved balls in STEP 518. In the case where the number n of the pseudo-reserved balls becomes 0, for example, despite the execution of the pseudo-ball discharge process (STEP 505), the pseudo game balls do not win the pseudo-start winning port 23 due to a defect such as a clogged ball or the like ( This corresponds to the case where the number of pseudo-reserved balls n does not increase). In this case, by performing the processing from STEP 513 onward regardless of the number of pseudo-reserved balls n, “pseudo-reserved ball number pseudo-display” can be appropriately executed for such a problem.

  And the production | presentation control board 36 performs a series of processes from the above-mentioned STEP506 to STEP514 with a fixed period (DELTA) t. For this reason, in STEP 511, when the “one-section production” specified by the variation count flag i is executed (YES in STEP 511), the fixed period Δt is set to the “one-section production” for each determination. Subtract from the fluctuation time Ti (STEP 515-1).

  Further, when the “one-line effect” is being executed (YES in STEP 511), it is determined whether or not the premium flag is set (STEP 515-2). If the premium flag is set, It is determined whether or not the fluctuation count flag i is L (i = L) and the L-th “one-line effect” is being executed (STEP 515-3). When the premium flag is set, one pseudo game ball is released from the pseudo ball emitting device 22 during execution of the L-th “one section effect” before executing the “section lottery result effect”. This is for producing a production sound.

  If the L-th “one-section effect” is being executed (YES in STEP 515-3), 1 is set in the number of pseudo-spheres discharged (STEP 515-4), and the late pseudo-ball discharge process (STEP 515-5). And a process of generating a predetermined effect sound from the speaker 10 (STEP 515-6). Then, the premium flag is reset (STEP 515-7), and the process returns to STEP 506. Here, as the predetermined effect sound, for example, an explosive sound, an impact such as a plosive sound or a warning sound, and a sound having a diffusing power can be used.

  On the other hand, if the premium flag is not set (NO in STEP515-2), or if the L-th “one-line effect” is not being executed (NO in STEP515-3), a series of processes related to the late discharge process is performed. The processing returns to STEP 506 without performing the processing (STEP 515-4 to STEP 515-7).

  As described above, when the late discharge process (STEP 515-5) in which one pseudo game ball is released before executing the “one-lot lottery result effect” based on the premium flag, a high probability (80 %) Will be able to predict the contents of the “One-Slot Lottery Result Production”, and a high performance effect is expected to expect a big hit. The Furthermore, when one pseudo game ball is released, a predetermined effect sound is emitted from the speaker 10, so that not only the player who is playing the game but also those who are in the vicinity of the game state after that This makes it possible to produce attractive performances with sounds that invite you to play games. In addition, it is possible to give a notice using a production sound in addition to the release of one pseudo game ball that a “one-line lottery result production” will be performed, and the production effect can be enhanced.

  The above is the details of “effect display control” in STEP50.

  According to such effect display control, a pseudo game ball corresponding to the number of times of pseudo variation is discharged from the pseudo ball discharge device 22 and awarded to the pseudo winning opening 23, and the number of genuine reserved balls that have won the starting winning opening 11 is apparently seen. It can be increased in a pseudo manner.

  At this time, each simulated game ball is released from the simulated game ball release device 22 at a predetermined timing, so that the player is allowed to predict the subsequent game state (expect a big hit) or to predict. It can give unexpectedness without. Furthermore, by generating a predetermined production sound in accordance with the release of such a pseudo game ball, the player who is playing the game or a person in the vicinity expects the game state and invites to the game. Such an attractive production can be performed.

  Then, a “one-line unjustified effect” according to the number of the pseudo game balls won in the pseudo winning opening 23 is displayed on the effect symbol display unit 4a of the liquid crystal display device 4 and (a one-line effect) is executed. And subtract the increased number of reserved balls to display.

  As a result, it is possible to give the player an impression as if the number of reserved balls is increased and the number of jackpot lotteries is increased by winning the pseudo game balls in the pseudo prize opening 23. It is possible to improve the game play through the state display of the rich reserve balls.

  In the above embodiment, a game ball that has been played in the game area 3a is used as the pseudo game ball. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a pseudo game ball having a shape different from that of the game ball is used. It may be supplied to the machine 1 and discharged from the pseudosphere discharge device 22. In this case, the game area 3a and the pseudo game area 3b are separated from each other so that the game ball and the pseudo game ball do not enter and exit. Further, instead of actually releasing the pseudo game balls from the pseudo ball emitting device 22, the virtual game ball is virtually released by displaying an image on which the predetermined number of pseudo game balls are released on the liquid crystal display device 4. You may make it do. In this case, the display position of the pseudo game ball that rolls toward the pseudo winning opening on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4 is controlled by time or the like as follows, for example. In other words, a timer for detecting the passage of time can be provided, and when the timer is detected, the pseudo game ball can be awarded to the pseudo prize opening. The timer in this case corresponds to the pseudo winning ball detecting means of the present invention.

  Moreover, in the production mode of the above embodiment, the “one-lot lottery result production” is executed last, but in the other “one-section production”, the same production as the “one-section lottery result production” is performed once or It may be executed over a plurality of times, and “a section of lottery result effect” and “a section of unjustified effect” may be executed in a random order every time.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, it is determined to release one pseudo game ball with a predetermined probability according to the determination result of the big hit determination process in STEP 43 before executing the “one-lot lottery result effect”. (STEP 504-3 to STEP 504-8), but is not limited to this. When a predetermined notification mode is determined or an effect mode is specified, such one pseudo game ball Release may be performed. Also, the timing of releasing the pseudo game balls is not limited to releasing one pseudo game ball before executing the “one-lot lottery result effect”, but depending on the determination result of the jackpot determination process, the notification mode, and the effect mode. Alternatively, the simulated game ball may be released at a predetermined timing.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when one pseudo game ball is released before the “one-lot lottery result effect” is executed, an effect sound is generated, but instead or in addition to this, an effect sound is generated. As shown in FIG. 10, a winning sound as a production sound may be generated when the released pseudo game ball wins a pseudo winning opening 23.

  Specifically, in the case shown in FIG. 10, based on the premium flag, the late discharge process (STEP 515-5) in which one pseudo game ball is released before the “one-lot lottery result effect” is executed. At this time, instead of generating the effect sound in STEP515-6, the winning sound flag is set, and the process returns to STEP506.

  In STEP 506, first, in STEP 506-1, when one pseudo game ball by the late discharge process is pseudo-winning in the pseudo winning opening 23, it is determined whether or not a winning sound flag is set (STEP 506-2).

  If the winning sound flag is set (YES in STEP 506-2), processing for generating a winning sound from the speaker 10 is performed (STEP 506-3), and the winning sound flag is reset (STEP 506-4). , STEP 507 and subsequent processes are performed. On the other hand, when the winning sound flag is not set (NO in STEP 506-2), as in the case of the normal pseudo game ball discharging process, the processing from STEP 507 onward is performed without generating the winning sound. I do.

  In this way, when a simulated game ball released at a specific timing wins the pseudo prize opening 23, a winning sound is generated as a production sound, so that the simulated game ball is released at a specific timing and simulated. Can be impressed on the player, and as the winning sound, in addition to the explosion sound, the burst sound and the warning sound, the impact sound such as the mimic sound at the time of winning, and the sound having diffusion power can be used. It is possible to exert a high stage effect that makes a person who is in the surrounding area expect a game state thereafter.
