JP 2004-129738 A

  However, in conventional pachinko machines that perform multiple stories, if the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is a big hit, the matter of which story will be displayed at the end of which story, and at what timing each story is displayed The matter of whether to end is predetermined in the gaming machine before the story starts. Therefore, a pachinko machine that has generated a plurality of stories has a problem that it can only provide the player with the idea of progress of the stories over a relatively long time until the plurality of stories are completed.

  Also, with such pachinko machines, the type of story to be executed is determined by lottery inside the game machine, so the same story occurs continuously, or the same story as the previous big hit hits again. There is a case. In such a case, there is a problem that a player who wants to see various stories is given a sense of loss such as “Is it the same story again”.

  Therefore, the present invention is a pachinko gaming machine that executes a plurality of videos each having a different story, and displays a lottery result related to one special symbol lottery on an effect display device after completion of one of the stories. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a pachinko gaming machine that provides the player with a taste other than the progression of the story and does not give the player the feeling of being “same story again”.

The present invention was created in order to solve these problems in view of the above circumstances, and a special symbol indicating whether or not a big hit state is generated according to the winning of a game ball with respect to the start opening. A pachinko gaming machine that includes a main control board that determines the timing for displaying the lottery result of the special symbol lottery and displays the moving image that is completed up to the timing on the effect display device while performing the lottery In the above, the previous big hit story storage means for storing the story executed when the big hit was made last time, and the video is composed of a plurality of different stories, and after the completion of one story, another story When the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is a big hit, the compound is executed other than the story stored in the previous big hit story storage means. The jackpot story determination means for determining a story on which an image suggesting the result of the special symbol lottery is displayed at the end of the story, and the player's Based on the selection operation, when the next execution story determination means for determining the next execution story and the story determined by the next execution story determination means are the stories determined by the jackpot story determination means, And an end-time image conversion means for converting an image to be displayed at the end of a story to be executed after the next time into an image suggesting the result of the special symbol lottery. In this way, in a pachinko gaming machine that executes a plurality of videos each having a different story, and displays the lottery result related to one special symbol lottery on the effect display device after completion of one of the stories, At the end of the game, it is possible to provide the player with a new idea that the player can search for a story in which an image suggesting the result of the special symbol lottery is displayed. Also, if a player finds a story that displays an image that indicates the result of a special symbol lottery that is a big hit at the end of the story, the player will also indicate the result of the special symbol lottery that is a big hit at the end of a story that is executed thereafter Since it is converted to display an image, an image that suggests the result of the special symbol lottery that is a big hit is displayed for a player who quickly found a story that displays an image that suggests the result of the special symbol lottery that is a big hit It is possible to provide the player with the advantage of being able to see many stories. In addition, when determining the story that displays the image showing the big hit at the end of the production, the story that was executed when the big hit was made last time is excluded, so the previous big hit It will never be a big hit again with the same story as time. Therefore, it does not give the player a sense of losing “Is the same story again”.
Further, the effect control board includes the previous jackpot story storage means, the jackpot story determination means, the next execution story determination means, and the end time image conversion means, and the effect control board includes: An effect button that can be operated by a player is electrically connected, and the effect control board receives a variation command that indicates the timing transmitted from the main control board, and is executed next time. The story determining means determines a story to be executed next time based on the player's operation of the effect button. If it does in this way, it will become possible to implement the present invention only by the simple change of rewriting the program of a production control board.
Further, the moving image includes a symbol variation moving image that sequentially updates at least one of the symbols arranged in a plurality of columns or rows, and the image indicating the result of the special symbol lottery is stopped from being updated. It is a stop mode image of each symbol arranged in the plurality of columns or rows. In this way, the progress status of the story can be transmitted to the player through the update or stop of the symbol.

  According to the present invention as described above, a plurality of videos having different stories are executed, and a lottery result related to one special symbol lottery is displayed on the effect display device after the completion of one of the stories. In pachinko machines, not only can the player be offered a new idea of searching for a story that displays an image suggesting the result of a special symbol lottery that is a big hit at the end of the game. Thus, it is possible to prevent a lossy feeling such as “Is it the same story again” or not.

By a player, a launching handle 8 for launching a game ball, a lending operation unit 9 for instructing a lending machine 3 to lend a game ball, a speaker 10 for outputting sound effects, and a player The pachinko gaming machine 1 has a play button B to be operated, and the back of the pachinko gaming machine 1 has a game ball tank 11 for storing a game ball for payout, and a game ball in the game ball tank 11 on the upper plate 6. A prize ball dispensing device 12 for dispensing, a launch motor 13 for launching a game ball, and various substrates to be described later are provided.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the game board 4 is provided with a start opening 14, a big prize opening 15, a prize opening (not shown), a gate (not shown), an out opening 16, a game nail 17, and the like. The game balls launched on the game board 4 are guided to the respective mouths 14 to 16 by the game nails 17. The game board 4 is provided with display devices such as a special symbol display device 18, an effect symbol display device (effect display device) 19, and a normal symbol display device 20. The special symbol display device 18 is a display device that stops and displays a special symbol that is a result of the special symbol lottery after the special symbol is displayed in a formally varying manner, and includes, for example, a 7-segment LED or a plurality of LEDs. The effect symbol display device 19 is a moving image (hereinafter referred to as variable display) that sequentially updates symbols corresponding to special symbols arranged and displayed in a plurality of columns or rows (hereinafter referred to as effect symbols), and the stop of each symbol. It is a display device that displays various effects including a mode image (hereinafter, stop display) and a moving image that is a story.

[Basic operation of pachinko machines]
When the launch handle 8 is turned and operated in a state where the game balls are stored in the upper plate 6, the game balls are launched toward the game board 4. When the launched game ball wins a start opening 14 or a winning opening (not shown), a predetermined number of game balls are paid out as winning balls. Further, when the game ball passes through the gate, the normal symbol display device 20 displays a variation of the normal symbol, and when the stop symbol is a predetermined winning symbol, the ordinary electric accessory provided at the start port 14 is displayed. 14a is opened for a predetermined time, and the size of the entrance of the start port 14 is expanded to change to a state where a winning is likely to occur. Further, when the game ball wins the starting opening 14, a numerical value used for the special symbol lottery is acquired, and the special symbol display device 18 and the effect symbol display device 19 are based on the result of the special symbol lottery using the numerical value. In FIG. 2, the special symbol and the effect symbol variation display and stop display related to the special symbol are displayed. When these symbols stop in a predetermined hit arrangement (special drawing specific display, drawing specific display), a big hit mode (hit state) in which the player can acquire many game balls is set.

In addition, the numerical value for the lottery acquired according to the winning of the game ball with respect to the start port 14 is stored with a preset upper limit number (four in this embodiment) as a limit. The lottery based on the next stored numerical value is performed after waiting for the display of the result of the lottery performed.
Hereinafter, various game modes of the pachinko gaming machine 1 that are switched in response to the start and end of the big hit state will be described with reference to FIG.

(1) Normal mode In this mode, a low probability (for example, 1/300) is applied among the two-stage jackpot probabilities in the special symbol lottery. In this mode, the normal symbol lottery cycle is long.
(2) Big hit mode (Big hit state)
This mode is executed when the special symbol (effect symbol) stops at a predetermined hit arrangement, and the special electric accessory 15a provided at the special winning opening 15 is opened. This releasing operation is repeated over a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 15 rounds), with a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) or a predetermined number of winnings (for example, 10 balls) as one round.
(3) Probability variation mode This mode is executed with a predetermined probability (for example, ½) after the jackpot mode ends. That is, the special symbol lottery jackpot includes the normal winning in which the winning probability of the special symbol lottery is low after the opening operation of the special winning lot 15 and the winning probability of the special symbol lottery after the opening operation of the special winning lot 15 is performed. There is per probability fluctuation to make high probability. For example, when the stop symbol at the time of the big hit is a specific probability variation symbol, the probability variation is per unit. In the probability variation mode, the big hit probability is high (for example, 1/30), the lottery cycle of the normal symbol lottery is short, and the opening time of the normal electric accessory 14a is long, so It is possible to generate a big hit again without reducing it.
(4) Time reduction mode This mode is executed after the normal big hit mode ends. In the time reduction mode, the jackpot probability of the special symbol lottery is low, but since the lottery cycle of the normal symbol lottery is short and the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory 14a is long, the game is hardly reduced. Can continue. However, this mode is terminated when the number of changes in the special symbol reaches a predetermined number (for example, 100 times) after the big hit, and the mode is switched to the normal mode.

[Board configuration of pachinko machines]
Next, the substrate configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in this figure, the pachinko gaming machine 1 includes at least a main board 21 and a peripheral board 22 that performs an effect process or the like in response to a command from the main board 21. The main board 21 of the present embodiment includes a main control board 23, a payout control board 24, and a firing motor control board 25, and the peripheral board 22 includes an effect symbol display control board (effect control board) 26, an audio control board 27, and a lamp. A control board 28 is included.

  The payout control board 24 is connected to a ball break switch 29, a payout sensor 30, a payout motor 31, and the like. In accordance with the rental signal from the machine 3, the game balls are paid out. The firing motor control board 25 is connected to a firing switch (handle angle sensor) 32, a touch sensor 33, a firing motor 13, and the like. When the firing switch 32 and the touch sensor 33 are ON, the firing motor 13 is driven. Let That is, when the player touches the launch handle 8, the touch sensor 33 is turned on so that a game ball can be launched.

  The main control board 23 includes a winning port switch SW1 for detecting a winning of a game ball with respect to a winning port, a starting port switch SW2 for detecting a winning of a gaming ball with respect to the starting port 14, and a gate switch SW3 for detecting the passage of the gaming ball at the gate. , A sensor such as a big prize opening switch SW4 for detecting the winning of a game ball to the big prize opening 15, an actuator such as a solenoid SOL for opening and closing the ordinary electric accessory 14a and the special electric accessory 15a, and a special symbol display Display devices such as the device 18 and the normal symbol display device 20 are connected. The main control board 23 performs a special symbol lottery process, a special symbol display process, a command transmission process, a special winning opening opening / closing process, and the like in accordance with the detection signals of the switches SW1 to SW4.

The effect symbol display device 19 and the effect button B are connected to the effect symbol display control board 26, and display control of the effect symbol display device 19 is performed in response to a command from the main control board 23 or an operation of the effect button B. I do. The command transmitted from the main control board 23 to the effect symbol display device 19 includes a variation pattern and a confirmation command.
The variation pattern is a command for instructing the variation display mode of the effect symbol and the story to be executed, and also indicates the timing for displaying the result of the special symbol lottery. This timing instruction is a time instruction indicating how much time is counted from when the main control board 23 transmits the variation pattern. Further, the variation pattern includes information such as a stop symbol.
The confirmation command is a command for instructing the effect symbol display control board 26 to end one effect display. However, since the variation pattern includes time information, the confirmation command is omitted. It is possible.

  In addition, the speaker 10 is connected to the sound control board 27, and a predetermined effect sound is emitted from the speaker 10 in response to a command from the main control board 23 (or the effect symbol display control board 26). Further, a light emitting display lamp L is connected to the lamp control board 28, and the light emitting display lamp L is turned on in response to a command from the main control board 23 (or the effect symbol display control board 26).

  In the following, a special symbol lottery process performed by the main control board 23 and a plurality of animations which are performed by the production symbol display control board 26 and are different stories are executed, and the lottery results relating to one special symbol lottery are obtained. The multi-time story process of displaying the effect display device 19 after completion of one of the stories will be described in detail.

[Special symbol lottery processing]
The main control board 23 acquires a numerical value used for a special symbol lottery for determining whether or not to generate a big hit state and what type of the big hit is made in accordance with the winning of the game ball to the starting port 14, and the acquired numerical value is The set upper limit number (four in this embodiment) is stored as a limit. And the numerical value memorize | stored in the memory | storage area | region is read in the order memorize | stored, a special symbol lottery is performed based on the read numerical value, and the numerical value which completed the lottery is then deleted from a memory | storage area | region. After performing the special symbol lottery, the main control board 23 further acquires a reach random number (for example, 1 to 100), and uses the acquired reach random number and the reach determination table to change the special symbol variation time (= time of effect display). ). The reach determination table is prepared separately for the special symbol lottery result that is used for the big win and for the lose game, and the one that has a longer display time for the big win is selected. It is easy to be done. The determined effect display time is transmitted to the effect symbol display control board 26 as the aforementioned variation pattern. On the other hand, the effect symbol display control board 26 receives the variation pattern from the main control substrate 23, and specifies a moving image corresponding to the variation pattern and an updated display of the effect symbol superimposed on the moving image, that is, a symbol variation moving image.

[Multiple story processing]
When the moving image specified by the effect design display control board 26 is composed of a plurality of different stories, and another story starts after the completion of one story, A plurality of moving images are executed, and a lottery process is performed in which a lottery result relating to one special symbol lottery is displayed on the effect display device 19 after completion of one of the stories. In addition, the above-described story is, for example, a story configured such that the end is success or failure, achievement or failure, and victory or defeat. In the conventional multi-story processing, for example, when executing videos that are four kinds of stories one by one in order, the matter of which story shows the big hit at the end of the story, The story is started a plurality of times after determining in advance in what order the stories are to be executed.

  On the other hand, in the multi-story processing according to the present invention, the matter of which image showing a big hit is displayed at the end of which story is determined in advance, but the matter of what order to execute these stories is It is determined based on the player's selection operation. That is, in the multi-story processing according to the present invention, when the lottery result of the special symbol lottery is a big hit, the story that displays the image showing the big hit at the end of the presentation is determined from the plurality of stories to be executed And a next execution story determination means for determining a next execution story based on a player's selection operation from a plurality of executed stories. In this way, in a pachinko gaming machine that executes a plurality of videos each having a different story, and displays the lottery result related to one special symbol lottery on the effect display device after completion of one of the stories, At the end of the game, it is possible to provide the player with a new idea that the player can search for a story in which an image suggesting the result of the special symbol lottery is displayed.

  Further, the multi-story story processing (production symbol display control board main) according to the present invention includes a previous jackpot story storage means for storing a story executed when the previous jackpot was made, and the jackpot story determination The means excludes a story that was executed at the time of a big hit last time when determining a story on which an image showing a big hit is displayed at the end of the story from a plurality of executed stories. In this way, since the same story as the previous big hit does not become a big hit again, the player is not given a sense of losing the “same story again”.

  Furthermore, in the multi-time story processing according to the present invention, when the story determined by the next execution story determination means is a story determined by the jackpot story determination means, at the end of the story to be executed after the next time End-time image conversion means for converting an image to be displayed into an image showing a big hit is included. In this way, if the player finds a story that displays an image suggesting the result of the special symbol lottery that is a big hit at the end, the result of the special symbol lottery that is a big hit at the end of the story that is executed after that The image that suggests the result of the special symbol lottery called jackpot for the player who quickly found the story that displayed the image that suggests the result of the special symbol lottery called jackpot It is possible to provide the player with the advantage of being able to see a lot of stories that are displayed. For example, when the above-mentioned story is executed as a reach effect, and the multi-time story process of the present invention is executed as a multi-time reach effect in which four different reach effects are sequentially executed one by one, as shown in FIG. As described above, the number of reach effects that are a big hit is changed according to the selection pattern of reach effects (story) by the player. The reach effect means a symbol variation moving image in which at least one symbol is sequentially updated in a state where at least two of the symbols arranged in a plurality of columns or rows are stopped at the same symbol.

  In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment includes a main control board 23 that performs a special symbol lottery and an effect symbol display control that controls the display of the effect symbol display device 19 based on a variation command transmitted from the main control board 23. The effect control board 26 includes a previous jackpot story storage means, a jackpot story determination means, a next execution story determination means, and an end image conversion means, and an effect button B that is electrically connected to the game. The next story to be executed is determined based on the user's operation. If it does in this way, it will become possible to carry out the present invention only by the simple change of rewriting the program of production design display control board 26.

Next, a screen display example in the case where the multi-time story process according to the embodiment of the present invention is performed as a multi-time reach effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8.
7 and 8 are explanatory diagrams illustrating examples of reach effect selection screens. FIG. 7 shows an example of a reach effect selection screen (first selection screen) for selecting the first reach effect from four reach effects (story). The display screen is divided into four display areas, each of the divided display areas is displayed with an initial screen of a different reach effect, and a reach selection instruction message such as “Please select your favorite screen” is displayed ( (See FIG. 7A). Next, a reach selection bar 19a surrounding one divided display area is displayed (see FIG. 7B), and the reach selection bar 19a is sequentially moved (driven) to adjacent divided display areas (FIG. 7C )reference). Then, when the player presses down the effect button B, the reach selection bar 19a is stopped at that timing, and the reach effect at the stop position is selected (see FIG. 7D).

FIG. 8 shows an example of a reach effect selection screen for selecting the second reach effect from the remaining three reach effects after the first reach effect selected in FIG. In this screen, an end mark such as “complete” is displayed in the display area of the reached reach effect in the split display area, and the initial screen of the remaining reach effect is displayed in the other split areas (FIG. 8). (See (A)), and a reach selection instruction message such as “Please select your favorite screen” is displayed (see FIG. 8B). Next, the reach selection bar 19a surrounding the divided display area other than the finished reach effect is displayed, and the reach selection bar 19a is sequentially moved to the adjacent divided display areas (see FIG. 8C). Then, when the player presses down the effect button B, the reach selection bar 19a is stopped at that timing, and the reach effect at the stop position is selected (see FIG. 8D).
Note that illustration and description of the reach effect selection screen for selecting the second and subsequent reach effects are omitted.

  Next, a specific processing procedure when the multi-time story process according to the embodiment of the present invention is performed as a multi-time reach effect will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 9, in the production symbol display control board main, it is determined whether or not the variation pattern of the reach production is received from the main control board 23 a plurality of times (S11). The turn reach basic flag is turned ON (S12). Further, it is determined whether or not the multi-time reach effect basic flag is ON (S13). If the determination result is YES, a multi-time reach effect process is executed (S14). Further, it is determined whether or not a big hit variation pattern has been received from the main control board 23 (S15). If this determination result is YES, a reach effect based on the received variation pattern is displayed in a predetermined storage area (previous, big hit). In the area for storing the reach effect executed at the time (S16: previous jackpot story storage means). If the reach effect is performed a plurality of times when the big hit is made last time, the reach effect determined by the big hit reach effect determining means of the multi-time reach effect process is stored as the previous big hit reach effect.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in the multi-time reach effect process, first, it is determined whether or not a multi-time reach effect flag (initial = reset) is set (S101). If this determination result is NO, it is determined that it is the start time of the multi-time reach effect process, and then it is determined whether or not the variation pattern of the multi-time reach effect is a big hit (S102). And when this judgment result is YES, a big hit reach production decision processing is executed (S103: big hit reach production decision means). The jackpot reach production determination process is a process for determining a reach production (stop position S) indicating the result of the big win from among a plurality of reach productions to be executed by lottery. Exclude the reach production performed when Specifically, it is determined whether or not there is a reach effect that was executed when the previous big hit was made among the plurality of reach effects to be executed (S151), and if this determination result is NO, execute 4 Of the two reach effects, the reach effect (stop position S) indicating the result of the big hit is determined by lottery (lottery probability = 1/4) (S152). The reach effect (stop position S) indicating the result of the big hit is determined by lottery (lottery probability = 1/3) from the three reach effects excluding the reach effect executed at the time (S153).

  After the big hit reach production determination process is finished, it is next determined whether or not the timer T1 (initial = 0) for managing the time of the multi-time reach production is larger than 0 (S104). If this determination result is NO and the multi-time reach effect flag is in a reset state (S105), it is determined that the multi-time reach effect process is started, and the multi-time reach effect flag is set (S106). A process of setting the variation time N specified by the variation pattern in the timer T1 (S107), a process of setting a display determination time M indicating a period for displaying the first reach effect selection instruction screen (S108), Then, a process of setting the display determination time L indicating the maximum period for displaying the first reach selection bar drive screen (S109) is executed. If the timer T1 is “0” and the multi-time reach effect flag is in the set state (S105), it is determined that the multi-time reach effect process has ended, and the multi-time reach effect basic flag is turned OFF. Processing (S110), processing for resetting the reach effect flag a plurality of times (S111), and processing for resetting the fourth reach selection bar confirmation flag (S112).

  On the other hand, after the timer T1 is set, the timer T1 is decremented (T1 ← T1-1) (S113), and it is determined whether the timer T1 is longer than the display determination time M of the reach effect selection instruction screen ( If the determination result is YES (S114), a reach effect selection instruction screen (see FIG. 7A) is displayed (S115). Further, when the timer T1 becomes less than the display determination time M of the reach effect selection instruction screen, it is determined whether or not the timer T1 is longer than the display determination time L of the reach selection bar drive screen (S116). In the case of YES, a first reach selection bar drive process (S117) described later is executed. Further, when the timer T1 becomes equal to or shorter than the display selection time L of the reach selection bar drive screen, the first reach selection bar flag is reset (S118), and reach execution processing 1 to 4 (S119 to S122) and timer processing (S123) described later are performed. ).

  As shown in FIG. 11, in the first reach selection bar driving process, first, it is determined whether or not the timer T2 (initial = 0) is larger than 0 (S201). When this determination result is NO and the first reach selection bar flag (initial = reset) is in the reset state (S202), it is determined that the selection of the first reach effect is started, and the first reach selection bar flag is set. Processing (S203), processing for setting the reach selection bar driving time P in the timer T2 (S204), and setting the initial value “1” to the coefficient B for specifying the stop position S of the reach selection bar 19a And a reach selection bar driving process (B ← B + 1 every second, where B = 1 is B = 1) (S206). Further, when the timer T2 is “0” and the first reach selection bar flag is set (S207), it is determined that the selection of the first reach effect is completed, and whether or not the stop position S has been acquired. Is determined (S208). If the determination result is NO, a process for stopping the reach selection bar driving process (S209), a process for acquiring the stop position S (S210), and a process for setting the first reach selection bar determination flag (S211) Execute.

  On the other hand, after the timer T2 is set, the timer T2 is decremented (T2 ← T2-1) (S213), and the stop position S of the reach selection bar 19a is specified by the coefficient B (S214). Further, it is determined whether or not the first reach selection bar confirmation flag is set (S215). If the determination result is NO, the reach selection bar driving process is performed according to the operation of the effect button B (S216). A process of stopping (S217), a process of acquiring the stop position S (S218: next execution story determining means), and a process of setting a first reach selection bar determination flag (S219) are executed.

  As shown in FIG. 12, in the reach execution process 1, it is first determined whether or not the first reach selection bar confirmation flag is set (S301). If this determination result is YES and the first reach execution flag (initial = reset) is in the reset state (S302), it is determined that the first reach effect is started, and then the acquired stop position It is determined whether or not the reach effect corresponding to S is a big hit (S303), and if the result of this determination is YES, the first and subsequent reach effects are also a big hit (S304: end image conversion means). Thereafter, a treatment (S305) for setting the reach production time corresponding to the acquired stop position S in the timer T3, a process (S306) for setting the first reach execution flag, and a reach production corresponding to the acquired stop position S.
