Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine and a notice production method thereof.

As the start condition is established, the special symbol starts to change and stops at a specific symbol (for example, “777”). Pachinko gaming machines configured to be able to acquire a large number of game balls are known.
In particular, recent pachinko machines are configured to give players a sense of expectation for jackpots by performing various effects (notice effects) within the symbol change period when the symbols on the symbol effect display device are changing. ing.
As the notice effect, for example, an image notice effect that displays various effect images on the symbol effect display device during symbol variation, or a step-up notice that continuously displays a plurality of notice screens on the symbol effect display device during symbol variation. Produces a pseudo-continuous notice effect that makes it appear as if multiple symbol changes have occurred during a single symbol change, or a group notice effect that displays many character images across the screen on a reach screen. It has been.

In addition, the above-mentioned notice effect generally has a big hit expectation level depending on the type and the content of the effect image. For example, in the case of an image preview effect, the degree of expectation of jackpot varies depending on the type of effect image to be displayed and the color of the character included in the effect image. In addition, in the case of a step-up notice effect, the greater the number of effect screens that are displayed continuously, the higher the expectation of the jackpot, and in the case of a pseudo-continuous notice effect, the greater the number of symbol variation actions that occur, Expectation is high. In the group notice production, the expectation of jackpot is high just by the production. In addition, since the group notice effect is generated in the reach state unlike the other notice effects, the group notice effect can be displayed in combination with the other notice effects. Of course, it is also possible to simultaneously display a plurality of notice effects that occur during symbol variation.
As a prior document, Patent Document 1 describes a pachinko game that does not impair the interest of a special game state even if a push button is operated and a notice effect and / or a reach effect are thinned out. A machine is disclosed. Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a pachinko gaming machine that can play an interesting game without stopping display of an effect such as a notice effect even when a symbol stop switch is operated.

FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram of a CPU provided in the effect control unit of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment.
The CPU 122 of the effect control unit 121 illustrated in FIG. 5 includes a jackpot determination unit 21, a notice effect determination unit 22, a stock unit 23, a release determination unit 24, and a notice effect determination unit 25.
The jackpot determining unit 21 determines whether or not the jackpot is won based on the symbol control command from the game control board 111.
The notice effect determination unit 22 determines whether the notice effect displayed on the symbol effect display device 9 is a predetermined notice effect based on the effect pattern control command from the game control board 111.
The predetermined notice effect refers to a notice effect having a high ratio that is selected when the jackpot is won. Specifically, in the case of the image preview effect described above, the type of effect image to be displayed, the color of the character included in the effect image, etc. are the effect images with the highest expectation level for jackpots. In addition, if it is a step-up notice effect, it is an effect that has the largest number of effect screens that are displayed continuously, and if it is a pseudo-continuous notice effect, it is an effect that has the largest number of symbol variation operations. The group notice effect is to generate a group notice.
The stock unit 23 stocks the notice effect when it is determined by the notice effect determination unit 22 that it is the predetermined notice effect.
The release determining unit 24 determines whether or not to release the notice effect of the stock unit 23 based on the effect pattern control command from the game control board 111 when the stock notice 23 is stocked in the stock unit 23. .

For example, if the release determination unit 24 determines that the announcement effect of the stock unit 23 is to be released, the stock unit 23 instead of the announcement effect included in the effect control pattern command is used as the announcement effect displayed on the symbol effect display device 9. Or a notice effect obtained by combining the notice effect of the stock unit 23 with the notice effect included in the effect control pattern command.
For example, when the image preview effect stocked in the stock unit 23 has a higher jackpot expectation value than the image preview effect included in the effect control pattern command, the image of the stock unit 23 is used instead of the image preview effect of the effect control pattern command. Set a notice effect. Further, when the notice effect stocked in the stock unit 23 is a group notice effect, and the group image notice effect is not included in the effect control pattern command, the group of stock units 23 is included in the notice effect included in the effect control pattern command. The notice effect that combined the notice effect was set.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the jackpot determination unit 21 provided in the production control unit 121 determines whether or not the jackpot is won, and when it is determined that the jackpot is not won, The notice effect determination unit 22 determines whether or not the notice effect displayed on the symbol effect display device 9 is a predetermined notice effect. When it is determined that the notice effect displayed on the symbol effect display device 9 is the predetermined notice effect, the notice effect is stocked in the stock unit 23. In this way, if a production pattern control command with a high expectation degree of jackpot is selected when the jackpot is not won, the notice effect is stocked in the stock section 23, so that the jackpot is won. The ratio of the notice effect with a high degree of expectation of jackpot when not being displayed can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to reduce the proportion that the jackpot is not won in spite of displaying the notice effect with a high expectation degree of jackpot, and to reduce the proportion that the player feels disappointed.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when a predetermined notice effect is stocked in the stock unit 23, the release determination unit 24 stocks the stock unit 23 based on the effect pattern control command from the game control board 111. It is determined whether or not the announced announcement effect is to be released, and the announcement effect determining unit 25 determines the announcement effect to be displayed on the symbol effect display device 9 based on the determination result. Nevertheless, if the expectation of the jackpot of the notice effect included in the effect pattern control command is low, it is possible to make the notice effect with a high expectation of the jackpot stocked in the stock section 23 appear. It is possible to realize a notice effect that is interesting for the player and to provide a game that is interesting for the player.

Hereinafter, the notice effect processing for realizing the notice effect operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1 as described above will be described. Note that the processing described below is realized by the CPU 112 of the game control board 111 and the CPU 122 of the effect control unit 121 executing programs stored in the ROM 113 and the ROM 123, respectively.
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the notice effect process in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment.
In this case, first, when the CPU 112 of the game control board 111 detects that the game ball has won the start winning opening as the main process by the start SWs 14a and 14b (S1), it acquires a random number (S2), and obtains the acquired random number value. The symbol control command and the effect pattern control command for performing the symbol control based on this are transmitted to the effect control unit 121 of the effect control board 120 (S3).
On the other hand, when the CPU 122 of the effect control unit 121 receives a control command (symbol control command and effect pattern control command) from the game control board 111 as a sub-process, it is determined whether or not the jackpot is won from the data of the symbol control command. A determination is made (S4).
If it is determined that the jackpot is won (S4 “YES”), it is determined in step S5 whether or not a predetermined notice effect with a high degree of expectation of jackpot is included in the effect pattern control command. When it is determined that the predetermined notice notice effect is not included (S5 “NO”), it is determined whether or not there is a prescribed notice notice stock (S6). If a predetermined notice effect is included (S6 “YES”), it is then determined whether or not the stock notice effect that has been stored next appears (S7). Whether or not a stocked notice effect is to appear is determined as appropriate depending on, for example, the type of notice effect included in the effect pattern control command. If the stocked notice effect is to appear (S7 “YES”), after the stocked notice effect is set (S8), the symbol variation process is started (S9).

If it is determined in step S6 that there is no stock of the predetermined effect notice, or if it is determined in step S7 that the predetermined notice effect that has been stored does not appear, the stocked notice effect is set. The symbol variation process is started without performing the process (S9). Further, in step S5, when it is determined that the predetermined notice effect is included in the effect pattern control command, after setting the predetermined notice effect without determining whether or not the predetermined notice effect is stocked, The symbol variation process is started.
On the other hand, when it is determined in step S4 that the jackpot has not been won (S4 “NO”), in step S10, it is determined whether or not a predetermined notice effect is included in the effect pattern control command. When it is determined that an effect is included (S10 “YES”), it is next determined whether or not to stock the predetermined notice effect (S11). If it is determined that the predetermined notice effect is to be stocked (S11 “YES”), after the predetermined notice effect is stocked (S12), the symbol variation process is started.
If it is determined in step S11 that the predetermined notice effect is not stocked (S11 “NO”), after the predetermined notice effect is set (S8), the symbol variation process is started (S9). In addition, as a case where it is determined in step S11 that the predetermined notice effect is not stocked, there is a case where the predetermined notice effect is already stocked.

If it is determined in step S10 that the effect pattern control command does not include the predetermined notice effect (S10 “YES”), it is determined whether or not there is a predetermined effect notice stock (S13). If a predetermined notice effect is included (S13 “YES”), it is then determined whether or not the stock notice effect that has been stored next appears (S14). Whether or not the stocked notice effect appears is determined as appropriate by the effect pattern control command. If the stocked notice effect is to appear (S14 “YES”), after the stocked notice effect is set (S8), the symbol variation process is started (S9).
If it is determined in step S13 that there is no stock of the predetermined effect notice, or if it is determined in step S14 that the predetermined notice effect that has been stocked does not appear, the stocked notice effect is not set. The symbol variation process is started (S9). Thereby, the notice effect operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment can be realized.

In this embodiment, when it is determined that the jackpot is not won, the notice effect is stocked when it is determined to be the predetermined notice effect. However, this is merely an example, and the jackpot is won. Regardless of the determination result of whether or not it is not, if it is determined that it is a predetermined notice effect, the notice effect may be stocked.
