In the figure, a medal insertion detection unit 201 detects the insertion of a medal and outputs it to the medal counter 202. The medal insertion display unit 14 performs display according to the contents of the medal counter 202. When a medal is inserted and a start instruction command is issued from the start lever 12, the game start control unit 203 notifies the internal winning control unit 204 and the drum rotation control unit 205 to that effect. The internal winning control unit 204 determines whether or not the result of the game that has been started is a win, and if it is determined that the game has been won, the flag storage unit 206 stores the flag content according to the winning result. Output to.

  The contents of the flag may indicate winning such as establishment of a big bonus, establishment of a regular bonus, establishment of a small role, establishment of a replay, and the like. The drum rotation control unit 205 controls the drum drive motor 207 to rotate the drum according to the game start instruction and stop the corresponding drum according to the stop instruction from the stop button 13. The drum rotation control unit 205 controls the drum rotation stop based on the contents of the flag in the flag storage unit 206.

  The hit determination unit 208 determines whether or not the generated random number is a win, and if it is a win, determines the type. When the winning determination unit 208 determines that it is a winning combination, the winning operation control unit 209 is notified of the winning type. The hit operation control unit 209 controls the stop of the drum that has been requested to stop by the stop button in order to make the symbol corresponding to the type of the winning combination appear, and the hit output unit 210 to perform the effect at the time of hit. Control. The winning output unit 210, for example, blinks and lights the winning display lamps 16 and 17, generates a sound effect, and pays out medals.

  The contents of the flag stored in the flag storage unit are output to the image control unit 300 for generating a graphic image that changes according to the winning results. Image data obtained in the image control unit 300 is sent to the image output unit 302. As shown in FIG. 1, the image output unit 302 is realized as a small display such as a liquid crystal attached to the upper front of the pachislot machine.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of the internal winning control unit 204. In the figure, when a game start instruction is issued from the game start control unit 203, the random number generation unit 31 generates a random number based on a predetermined random number function. Based on the winning probability data stored in the winning probability data storage unit 33, the generated random number is determined based on the winning probability data stored in the winning probability data storage unit 33. If the game has been won, To decide. The winning determination unit 32 outputs the result to the flag storage unit 206.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of the drum rotation control unit 205. In the drawing, the rotation start instruction unit 41 outputs a drive instruction to the first to third drum drive control units 42a, 42b, and 42c in accordance with a start instruction from the game start control unit 203. In the present embodiment, the rotation start instruction unit 41 outputs a drive instruction to all of the first to third drum drive control units 42a, 42b, and 42c simultaneously. The first to third drum drive control units 42 a, 42 b, 42 c drive each drum drive motor according to a drive instruction from the rotation start instruction unit 41, and stop the drum drive motor according to a stop instruction from the stop control unit 43. Control for.

  When there is a stop instruction from the stop button 13, the stop control unit 43 corresponds to the drum corresponding to the content of the flag stored in the flag storage unit 206 within a predetermined operation range from the time when the stop instruction is received. The stop instruction of is output. For example, if the content of the flag indicates a value indicating replay, the rotation of each drum is controlled so that the corresponding combinations of symbols are aligned.

  In the present embodiment, the first (left) drum, the second (center) drum, and the third (right) drum correspond to the stop buttons 13a, 13b, and 13c, respectively. The first to third drum drive control units 42a, 42b, and 42c control the drive motor so that the drum stops at the stop position designated by the stop control unit 43 according to a positioning mechanism (not shown). Thereby, in the symbol display part 15, a specific symbol stops in front.

  FIG. 5 is a detailed block diagram of the above-described image control unit. The image control unit 300 determines a winning record value based on the stored data of the flag and stores a winning record value storage unit 300a for storing the winning record value, a graphic image memory 300b for storing a graphic image, and a storage data and graphic of the winning record value The image generation unit 302c generates a graphic image corresponding to the winning record value from the image.

  Data obtained by the image generation unit 300 b is supplied to the image output unit 302. In addition, in order to obtain a medal payout cumulative number, a medal insertion cumulative number, etc., which are not related to a flag as a prize achievement value, a detection signal for each medal number is input to the prize achievement storage unit 302a.

  The winning achievement value is, for example, from the time when the main power supply to the pachislot machine is turned on until the main power supply is shut off, that is, during the day from when the playground is opened to when it is closed. Is.

  Cumulative number of occurrence of big bonus game, regular number of occurrences of regular bonus, count value of medal insertion cumulative number, or cumulative count value of medal payout number. The lottery game machine has a higher winning probability as the cumulative number of bonus games generated increases, the cumulative number of medal payouts increases, and in particular, the higher the cumulative number of medals inserted.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of a flowchart up to graphic image output. Each time the occurrence flag is stored in the flag storage unit, the CPU in the pachislot machine checks the content and type of the flag. Next, in S602, it is determined whether the generated flag is a winning flag or a miss flag, and if it is a winning flag, the type of winning is performed. In the case of a miss flag, the process ends.

  If it is a winning flag, the type of winning is performed, and if it is a special winning type (BIC bonus game, regular bonus game) that is accumulated as a winning achievement value, the cumulative number is obtained for each type and applicable. Update and store in the storage area. For other winning types (such as small play, replay, etc.), the flowchart is terminated without taking up as a winning record value.

  Next, the data in the graphic image memory is read, and a predetermined image in the graphic memory is selected according to the winning record value and is output to the graphic display means. Therefore, the graphic displayed on the graphic display means can be changed by changing the winning record value.

  By making the state and change of the winning achievement value correspond to the graphic image and the change, the player can visually recognize the winning achievement of the pachislot machine via the figure quickly. For example, the graphic image is changed as the winning record value increases.

  FIG. 7 shows a case where the character is grown as the cumulative number of occurrences of the big bonus game (big hit) increases. The character grows from a child to an adult as the number of occurrences increases.

  For example, if the player has a higher growth level, the player recognizes that the game table has a high winning record. On the other hand, in the case of a video with a low degree of growth, it is expected that the winning results will be improved in the future so that the character grows. The numerical value in the video from indicates the cumulative number of occurrences of the big bonus game.

  It is within the range expected in the present invention that the character is grown not by the cumulative number of occurrences of the big bonus game itself but by increasing the number of occurrences of the big bonus game relative to the cumulative number of inserted medals, that is, by the occurrence frequency of the big bonus game. It is a change. A combination of these may also be used. The same applies to growth rates other than those shown in FIG. It is also true to change the facial expression and state of the character.

  Instead of character growth, it is also possible to adopt a graphic image showing the progress of the race. As shown in FIG. 8, when the cumulative number of occurrences of the big bonus game increases, the progress of the race becomes closer to the goal. The above graphic image can be displayed on the liquid crystal display monitor 302 on the front surface of the pachislot machine.

  Of course, this embodiment can be applied to pachinko game machines other than medal game machines. In this case, a graphic image corresponding to the winning result value is displayed on the symbol display portion of the pachinko game device corresponding to the playing result value. The symbol display part is the part that displays the arrangement of symbols according to the type of winning as a result of internal winning as the liquid crystal screen starts rotating and changing when the pachinko ball wins the symbol rotation start hole (starting opening) It is. Graphic images corresponding to winning results (such as jackpots, start-up winnings, etc.) can be displayed when the pachinko machine is not in play.

The graphic image control unit 300 and the graphic output unit 302 may be realized by a peripheral device different from the lottery game device. In addition, only the image output unit 302 can be used as another peripheral device. As described above, the image output unit may be realized in the lottery result video display unit of the game device or may be realized as another display unit. Further, instead of the race progress, it may be a six-six progression.

It will make one go around. More specifically, identification information is sequentially displayed on the three display windows 831, 832, and 833 provided in the variable display unit 83 (FIG. 12). Then, the combination of identification information appearing in the three display windows when the rotation stops indicates whether or not the prize is awarded. For example, if the three pieces of identification information appearing in the display window are the numbers “7-7-7”, it is a special prize. When it becomes a special prize, the big prize opening (attacker) 64 is opened. The attacker continues to be in an open state until a certain time has elapsed after the release or until a certain number of winnings are received in the grand prize opening, and during that time, a lot of play balls can be expected to be paid out.

(Internal structure)
The pachinko machine 60 includes a central control device including a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, various interfaces, and the like. FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing functions executed by the central control unit.

  The central control device shown in FIG. 10 has a ball launcher drive circuit 98 that drives the ball launcher 81 based on the operation of the handle 71, and when a play ball enters the winning a prize opening 63 or the grand prize winning opening 64, A winning determination circuit 95 for determining the type, a payout device driving circuit 96 for paying out a specified number of game balls by the ball paying device 85 based on the determination result of the winning determination circuit 95, and whether or not it is a special prize is determined by internal lottery. Internal winning determination means 91 is provided.

  Further, a variable display control means 90 for controlling the variable display section 83, a variable display determination circuit 93 for determining whether the display content of the variable display section is hit or reach based on a signal from the variable display section 83, variable display determination When the determination of the circuit 93 is the reach state, the determination of the effect control means 99 and the variable display determination circuit 93 for causing the effect operation unit 86 to perform the effect operation based on the signals from the internal winning determination means 91 and the winning opening sensor 73. A special prize operation control circuit 94 for turning on the special prize display lamp 82 and opening the special prize opening 64 when a special prize is obtained is provided.

(Internal processing)
Next, processing inside the computer of the pachinko machine 60 will be described. The flowchart of FIG. 11 shows the image display processing procedure in this embodiment. This processing procedure is executed by the control device in the pachinko machine 60.

  The processing shown in FIG. 11 is started when the start opening sensor 72 senses a winning of a game ball. When a game ball wins at the start port 62, the internal winning determination means 91 determines whether it is a special prize or not by random lottery. Based on the result of this determination, a special prize or miss flag is set (step S51).

  Subsequently, variable display in the variable display unit 83 is started. In this embodiment, a screen on which a plurality of identification information is sequentially displayed in the display windows 831, 832, and 833 (FIG. 12) set in the variable display unit 83 is output (step S52).

  Next, the variable display control means 90 reads the internal winning flag determined by the internal winning determining means 91, and if the special prize flag is set, or is set to “out of reach”, that is, the reach state is finally reached. It is determined whether the flag is a flag for detachment (step S53). Note that “reach” refers to a case where two of the three display windows by the variable display means 83 are confirmed, and there is a possibility that a game hit may occur when one unconfirmed display window is confirmed.

  If the flag set by the internal winning determination means 91 is neither a special prize nor a miss reach, each display window of the variable display section 83 is stopped at a miss position, exits this routine, and waits for the next start opening prize (step) S54). When the flag is a special prize or out of reach reach, the variable display of the identification information in two of the three display windows 831, 832, and 833 is stopped so as to indicate the reach state (step S55).

  In this embodiment, this stop process is performed when a certain time has elapsed after the start of the variable display, but a separate variable display stop button (not shown) is provided on the front side of the pachinko machine 60, You may decide to perform based on pressing of the stop button by the player. In addition, multiple types of special prizes (“7-7-7”, “3-3-3”, etc.) or outlier reach types (“7-?-7”, “5-5-?”, Etc.) are provided, A flag corresponding to each may be set, and the type of reach state may be determined according to the flag.

(Directing action)
When the variable display unit 83 reaches the reach state, the variable display determination circuit 93 determines the reach state, and the effect control means that receives the signal causes the effect operation unit 86 to start the effect operation (step S56). The display area of the effect operation unit 86 is created by reducing the display area of the variable display unit 83. In FIG. 13, a battle between the player-side character and the opposing character is given as an example of the effect operation.

  Here, the score variation display of each character is performed above each character. In this embodiment, the score variation display is performed by gauges (life gauges) 861 and 862 indicating the degree of damage. At the beginning of the production operation, both life gauges are in the highest state (there is no damage at all). If the player character hits the opponent character with a punch or the like, the life gauge of the opponent character is reduced by one scale. In the opposite case, the player's life gauge is reduced. In this way, the player who loses the remaining life gauge first loses and loses when the player loses.

  In this embodiment, when the game ball wins the winning opening sensor during the production operation (step S58), in addition to the payout based on the normal winning, the player character performs an operation of hitting the opposing character. Add (step S59). In this way, the effect operation is affected by winning a prize opening, which is a phenomenon irrelevant to the determination result of the internal winning determination means 91, and as a result, the pattern of the effect operation increases infinitely. On the other hand, hitting the opposing character based on winning in the winning opening does not affect the increase or decrease of the life gauge. Therefore, the final victory or defeat of both characters eventually depends on the determination result of the internal winning.

  In the final stage of the program executed for the production operation, the victory or defeat of the character is determined. When this program ends (step S57), based on the signal from the effect control means 99, the variable display control means 90 causes the variable display section 83 to determine the last unconfirmed portion of the variable display section (step S60). . The content determined by the variable display unit needs to match the conclusion shown to the player by the production operation unit 86. In this embodiment, since the conclusion shown by the production operation unit 86 depends on the determination result of the internal winning determination unit 91, the content determined by the variable display unit 83 is also based on the determination result by the internal winning determination unit 91. It may be determined.

  When the variable display determination circuit 93 determines that the final display of the variable display unit is a special prize (step S61), the special prize operation control circuit 94 is based on the signal from the variable display determination circuit 93 and receives the special prize display lamp 82. Is turned on to allow the player to recognize, and the big prize opening / closing motor 84 is controlled to open the big prize opening until a certain time or a certain number of prizes are received (step S62). If the final display on the variable display section is off, the work routine is exited and the next start opening prize is awaited.

  Here, an example has been described in which the entrance to the winning opening only affects the action of the character, and the example that does not affect the raf gauge has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the player side character is determined by winning the winning opening. While attacking the opposing character, the life gauge of the opposing character may be reduced. In this case, the life gauge may be controlled so that the final life gauge becomes a special prize or a loss determined in advance by internal lottery. For example, if the opponent's life gauge does not drop below a certain level when the internal lottery is off, even if the internal lottery is off, even if a lot of balls win the prize opening Eventually, it may be a loss of the player side character. On the other hand, if the player's character's life gauge does not fall below a certain level in the case of a special prize in the internal lottery, even if the winning ball is poor in the internal lottery, Can be a player-side character win.

  In addition, here, the presentation of punching once when there is a ball in the winning opening was explained, but the present invention is not limited to this, and various attack defense means such as kicking, poking, dodging, throwing away, etc. are performed on the character You may decide to make it. Furthermore, a process may be performed in which the life gauge is reduced when a prize is not won for a certain period of time. Not limited to this, the type of attack defense means corresponding to various winning characteristics such as the number of winning balls won in the winning mouth, the frequency of winning, the type of winning mouth, etc. May be different.

  In addition, the number of balls entering the breakout hole is counted, and if a certain number of balls enter the breakout hole, the player side character may be attacked by the opposing character. Further, a sensor may be provided at a specific gate portion on the play board, not limited to a prize opening or a hole, and the passage of the gate may affect effects such as the movement of the character or increase / decrease of the life gauge. .

  Further, here, the production using the life gauge has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the character's face color, facial expression, posture, and the degree of bleeding are displayed. be able to.
