Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine that generates a jackpot state according to a stop-displayed symbol.

  Conventionally, there is a so-called “seven machine” pachinko gaming machine that generates a jackpot state according to a stop-displayed symbol. In the game of this pachinko machine, so-called continuous change, in which jackpots are continuously generated, is a great attraction in the game. In view of this, various methods have been proposed in the past for generating a continuous chain.

  As a continuous change generation method, a method of generating a probability variation state that increases the probability of jackpot occurrence after the jackpot state ends is well known (for example, see Patent Document 1). In a game of a pachinko machine that generates a probability variation state, there is a possibility that a series of hits may be generated by repeating a big hit and a probability variation state such as a big hit → a probability variation state → a big win.

  However, the conventional pachinko gaming machine has the following problems. In other words, even if the probability variation state, if there is no chance to win a big win in the internal lottery, if the big hit does not occur easily despite the probability variation state, the player feels irritated There is a risk that.

JP 2007-7019 A

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko gaming machine in which a so-called continuous chain is generated quickly and exhibits a small game.

The present invention is a random number extracting means for extracting a random number for determination of success / failure from random numbers generated within a predetermined range in accordance with a winning at the starting port,
Random number table storage means for storing a winning random number table in which a jackpot winning random number is defined among the random numbers within the predetermined range;
A jackpot determining means for determining whether or not the jackpot is winning by comparing the random number for determining whether or not the winning is extracted with the winning random number table,
Symbol variation display means for variably displaying symbols in a predetermined symbol display area in order to display the determination result by the jackpot determination means;
A jackpot state generating means for generating a jackpot state over a predetermined period when the jackpot symbol indicating the winning of the jackpot is stopped and displayed in the symbol display area;
A reserved random number storage means for storing the random number for determination of success / failure extracted by the random number extraction means during the display of the fluctuation of the symbol by the symbol fluctuation display means as a reserved random number;
A hold random number display means for displaying the number of the hold random numbers stored in the hold random number storage means,
In the winning random number table, at least one simultaneous winning random number that is a winning random number that is won simultaneously by two or more jackpots is defined,
When the determination result by the jackpot determining means is a simultaneous winning of two or more jackpots, the symbol variation display means stops displaying the jackpot symbol corresponding to any jackpot, and then corresponds to the jackpot The pachinko gaming machine is configured to stop and display the jackpot symbols corresponding to the second jackpot and other jackpots after the jackpot state ends (Claim 1).

  In the winning random number table in the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention, at least one or more simultaneous winning random numbers that are simultaneously won by two or more jackpots are defined. In the case where two or more jackpots are simultaneously won, the symbol variation display means stops displaying any one jackpot symbol, and then stops the other jackpot symbols after the second jackpot state. indicate.

  In the game of the pachinko machine, when two or more jackpots are simultaneously won, after the jackpot state corresponding to the stop display of any jackpot symbol is finished, the second and subsequent jackpots are not inserted. Other jackpot symbols can be stopped and displayed. That is, in the game of this pachinko gaming machine, a speedy continuous chain in which the big hit state continuously occurs can occur. Such game development feels very cool for the player.

  As described above, the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention is a gaming machine in which a so-called continuous chain is generated quickly and exhibits a small game.

  The on-hold random number display means in the present invention, in order to stop and display the jackpot symbol corresponding to the second jackpot and other jackpots when the determination result by the jackpot determination means is a simultaneous winning of two or more jackpots When starting the variable display of symbols, it is preferable to reduce the number of the reserved random numbers displayed by the reserved random number display means by one (claim 2).

  In the stop display of the second and subsequent jackpot symbols that are stopped and displayed for the second and subsequent times according to the simultaneous winning of two or more jackpots, the change in the new symbols without newly reading the pending random number Display will start. At this time, the number of the reserved random numbers stored in the reserved random number storage means does not decrease even when the symbol variation display is started. When the actual number of reserved random numbers is displayed by the reserved random number display means, the display of the number of reserved random numbers will not decrease even if the display of the variation of symbols is started. There is a risk that the player will be informed that this is a symbol variation and the tension will be lost.

  Therefore, when the number of the reserved random numbers displayed by the reserved random number display means is reduced by one when starting the variable display of symbols in order to stop and display other jackpot symbols after the second as described above, It is possible to avoid the possibility that the presence or absence of simultaneous winning will be determined according to the change in the number of held random numbers. Therefore, it is possible to maintain the player's expectation for the consecutive Chang until the second and subsequent jackpot symbols are stopped and displayed.

The embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the following examples.
Example 1
This example is an example related to a pachinko gaming machine 1 called a so-called seven machine that generates a jackpot state in accordance with a combination of symbols displayed in a stopped state. The contents will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The pachinko gaming machine 1 of this example has an external configuration as shown in FIG. The pachinko gaming machine 1 is disposed on the left and right sides of the open / close door 13 attached to the underframe, the substantially circular game area 130 formed on the game board disposed inside the open / close door 13, and the game area 130. A pair of speakers 131, a ball supply tray 135 provided on the lower side of the game area 130, and a launching handle 134 disposed on the lower right side of the ball supply tray 135.

  The open / close door 13 is a door fixed to the frame so as to face the pachinko gaming machine 1 and be rotatable via a left hinge 133. The open / close door 13 has a substantially circular transparent window 139 corresponding to the game area 130, and a decorative lamp 136 disposed on the transparent window 139. The opening / closing door 13 has a plurality of through holes 132 corresponding to the positions where the speakers 131 are disposed.

  The firing handle 134 is an operation handle for adjusting the launch strength of the ball into the game area 130. The firing handle 134 is urged toward an initial position in the left rotation direction by a spring (not shown). The launch strength when the firing handle 134 is located at the initial position is zero, and no ball is fired in this state. When the firing handle 134 is operated in the clockwise direction, a ball is fired by a launching device (not shown). The greater the amount of operation of the firing handle 134, the stronger the ball launch strength. Furthermore, the firing handle 134 includes a firing stop button (not shown) for temporarily stopping the firing of the ball. When the firing stop button is operated, the ball firing is paused.

  The ball supply tray 135 is a tray for receiving a prize ball paid out in accordance with a winning prize, a ball rental, or the like, and supplies the received ball to the launching device. The ball supply tray 135 is formed so as to project toward the player side. On the front surface of the ball supply tray 135, a payout button 137 for releasing the balls stored in the ball supply tray 135 to a ball box or the like is disposed.

  The game area 130 is an area where pachinko balls, which are game media, flow down. The game area 130 is centered on the display device 19 having a liquid crystal display unit 191, and includes a passage gate 14, a starting port 11, which is an electric tulip (hereinafter abbreviated as electric Chu), a grand prize winning device 16, and a general-purpose display unit. 181 and a general-purpose hold display unit 182 are provided. Furthermore, at the bottom of the game area 130, a ball discharge port 138 is opened for collecting all balls that have flowed down without winning any of the winning ports (starting port 11 and large winning device 16). .

  The display device 19 includes a liquid crystal display unit 191 disposed substantially in the center and a special figure holding display unit 192 disposed in the lower frame portion. The liquid crystal display unit 191 has a function as a special symbol display unit (a part of the symbol variation display means 35 described later) that displays a special symbol indicating the result of determination of whether or not the jackpot is won (hereinafter referred to as special symbol determination). In addition, it has a function of executing a jackpot display (not shown) for producing a jackpot state. In the following description, the liquid crystal display unit 191 as the special figure display unit is appropriately referred to as a special figure display unit 191.

  In the special figure display unit 191, symbol display areas 191 </ b> L, 191 </ b> L and 191 </ b> L for variably displaying plural kinds of symbols are formed. The special symbol display unit 191 displays a special symbol determination result by a special symbol composed of a combination of three symbols displayed in each symbol display area 191L, C, R. In the present example, nine types of symbols in which Arabic numerals 1 to 9 are illustrated are adopted as symbols to be variably displayed in the symbol display areas 191L, C, and R.

When displaying the special figure determination result, the special figure display unit 191 starts the special symbol fluctuation display (special figure fluctuation) in each symbol display area 191L, C, R at the same time, and after a predetermined special figure fluctuation time has elapsed. Any symbol is stopped in each symbol display area 191L, C, R.
When winning the jackpot, the special symbol display unit 191 notifies that the jackpot has been generated by the jackpot symbol that is a special symbol consisting of a combination of the same symbols (so-called flat eyes). In particular, in “3-3-3” and “7-7-7”, when two or more jackpots are won simultaneously, an undigested jackpot state remains, that is, a jackpot of consecutive Chang occurs. It is a jackpot symbol that is selected only when it can.

  The special figure hold display unit 192 is a display unit that displays the number of hold random numbers that are random numbers extracted for special figure determination, and constitutes a hold random number display means. The special figure hold display unit 192 includes a plurality of LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) arranged at substantially equal intervals in the horizontal direction. The number of LEDs arranged is four, which is the same as the maximum number of reserved random numbers. The special figure hold display unit 192 can display the number of hold random numbers according to the number of lighted LEDs.

  The passing gate 14 is a gate that is a trigger for determining whether or not a normal symbol is appropriate (hereinafter referred to as a common symbol determination). In the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this example, the passing gate 14 is disposed on the left side of the display device 19 so as to face the gaming area 130. Note that at the passing gate 14, only a ball is passed, and no payout of the winning ball is set.

  The start port 11 is a winning port that triggers special figure determination, and is arranged below the display device 19. The starting port 11 of this example is a so-called electric tulip (electric chew) in which a pair of movable blades 111 are provided in the opening 110. The pair of movable blades 111 in a normal state is in a standing state so as to face each other with a gap that allows the ball to pass therethrough. In this state, a gap formed by the pair of movable blades 111 becomes a ball winning path. On the other hand, the pair of movable blades 111 (shown by broken lines in FIG. 2) rotated so as to be separated from each other act like a tray that guides the flow of balls into the opening 110. Therefore, in this state, the winning probability for the start port 11 is remarkably increased. The start port 11 opens the movable blade 111 in response to winning in the usual figure determination. The opening time of the movable blade 111 is 3 seconds in the normal state. In this example, the winning probability of the normal figure determination is 1/100 in the normal state. The payout (prize ball) for winning at the start port 11 is set to 3 balls.

  The universal map display unit 181 is a display unit that displays the universal map determination result. The general map display unit 181 of this example is configured by one LED. The general-purpose display unit 181 displays the changing operation by blinking the LED. The common figure display unit 181 turns on the LED when the common figure determination result is winning, and turns off the LED when the result is lost. Note that the normal time fluctuation time is 30 seconds in the normal state.

  The universal map hold display unit 182 is a display unit that displays the number of reserved random numbers that are random numbers extracted for the universal map determination. The general-purpose hold display unit 182 has four LEDs arranged vertically. The common figure hold display unit 182 displays the number of hold random numbers (maximum number 4) for common figure determination according to the number of lighted LEDs. Note that, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this example, a general diagram display unit 181 and a general diagram hold display unit 182 are arranged along the left edge of the gaming area 130.

  The grand prize winning device 16 is a variable prize winning device called a so-called attacker that opens the grand prize winning opening 160. The big winning device 16 is arranged below the start port 11. The big prize device 16 includes a big prize opening 160 having a horizontally long and substantially rectangular shape, and a lid member 161 that rotates around the lower side of the big prize opening 160. In the big prize device 16, the big prize opening 160 is closed when the lid member 161 is positioned so as to be substantially flush with the surface of the game area 130, while the lid member 161 is centered on the lower side. When it is rotated, the special winning opening 160 is opened. The lid member 161 rotated in this manner serves as a tray for guiding the balls to the big prize opening 160. The payout for winning in the big winning device 16 is 15 balls per winning.

  In the game of the pachinko gaming machine 1, a normal state and a jackpot state can occur. The jackpot state is a gaming state in which a 30-second round in which the grand prize winning opening 160 is opened is repeated 15 times. However, each round in the jackpot state is forcibly terminated in response to a 10-ball winning in the big winning opening 160.

  Next, the electrical configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. The pachinko gaming machine 1 is configured around a main control unit 20. For the main control unit 20, a payout control unit 41 for controlling the payout and driving of balls, an effect control unit 43 for controlling game effects, winning ball or passing ball detection sensors 51 to 53, a start port (electrical ) An electric chew solenoid 56 that opens 11, a large winning solenoid 55 that opens the large winning device 16, a power supply circuit unit 45 for supplying power, and the like are electrically connected.

  The payout control unit 41 is a control unit that controls the payout of balls according to winning and the driving of balls. To the payout control unit 41, a payout mechanism unit 410 and a firing control unit 412 are electrically connected. The payout mechanism 410 is a mechanism for paying out a predetermined number of balls instructed from the main controller 20 in accordance with winning. The firing control unit 412 is a control unit that controls the ball launching strength of the launching device according to the operation amount of the firing handle 134.

  The effect control unit 43 is a control circuit for various game effects. An amplifier 431 for driving the speaker 131, a decoration lamp unit 432 including a decoration lamp 136, and a display control unit 44 for controlling a liquid crystal display unit (special display unit) 191 are electrically connected to the effect control unit 43. Has been. The display control unit 44 constitutes a symbol variation display means 35 together with a special figure display unit (liquid crystal display unit) 191. The display control unit 44 constituting the symbol variation display means 35 displays the variation (special symbol variation) of the symbol (special symbol) in accordance with the variation start instruction signal input from the main control unit 20 via the effect control unit 43. ) Is started and the time of the symbol variation timer is started, and the special symbol variation is stopped according to the time-up of the symbol variation timer.

  In addition to the function as the symbol variation display means 35, the display control unit 44 has a function of causing the liquid crystal display unit 191 to display a jackpot display that is an effect screen for producing a jackpot state. The jackpot display that the display control unit 44 displays on the liquid crystal display unit 191 includes a jackpot start display that indicates the start of the jackpot state, a jackpot display that is displayed while the jackpot state continues, and a jackpot end display that indicates the end of the jackpot state Etc. In the description of this example, illustration of each effect screen is omitted.

The detection sensors 51 to 53 include a gate sensor 51 that detects a passing ball of the passing gate 14, a starting port sensor 52 that detects a winning ball to the starting port 11, and a large ball that detects a winning ball to the big winning device 16. There is a prize opening sensor 53.
The electric Chu solenoid 56 is a solenoid for opening and closing the movable blade 111 of the start port 11.
The big prize solenoid 55 is a solenoid that rotates the lid member 161 of the big prize device 16 so that the big prize device 16 can be awarded.

  The main control unit 20 extracts a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 21, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 22 / RAM (Random Access Memory) 23 as a storage element, a random number generating unit 26 for generating random numbers, and a random number for determination of success / failure And a random number extraction unit 25 that performs input / output (I / O) 24 and the like. The main control unit 20 of the present example causes the CPU 21 to execute the program read from the ROM 22, thereby causing a jackpot determination unit 211 to execute special figure determination, and a jackpot state occurrence to generate a jackpot state in accordance with winning in the special figure determination The function as the means 212 is realized.

The ROM 22 stores various processing programs to be executed by the CPU 21, and also stores a winning random number table (FIG. 3) used for special figure determination, and a not-shown winning random number table used for general figure determination. As a function.
As the winning random number table for special figure determination, there is a winning random number table for a normal state as shown in FIG. In the normal state winning random number table, in the range of 0 to 2047, only one big winning single winning random number (0 and 1), two big winning simultaneous winning random numbers (2 and 3), and three big winning simultaneous winnings A random number (4) and five simultaneous winning random numbers (5) are defined. Therefore, in the normal state, the single winning probability of 1 jackpot, the simultaneous winning probability of 2 jackpots, the simultaneous winning probability of 3 jackpots, and the simultaneous winning probability of 5 jackpots are 1/1024 (2/2048), They are 1/1024 (2/2048), 1/248, and 1/2048.

  The RAM 23 is a readable / writable storage element used for the work area of the CPU 21 or temporary writing. In the storage area of the RAM 23, a special figure holding area 231 and a general figure holding area 232 are allocated for each of four data. The special figure reservation area 231 (holding random number storage means) is a storage area for storing random numbers extracted for special figure determination (random numbers for determination of success / failure) as reservation ball information (holding random numbers). The common map hold area 232 is a storage area for storing random numbers extracted for the general map determination as hold ball information (hold random numbers).

  The random number extraction unit 25 (random number extraction means) is a part for extracting random numbers for special figure determination and common figure determination. The random number extraction unit 25 extracts a random number for determination of success / failure from the random numbers generated by the random number generation unit 26. The random number extraction unit 25 extracts a random number for determining a normal figure according to the detection of the passing ball by the gate sensor 51 and extracts a random number for determining a special figure according to the detection of the start winning by the start port sensor 52. To do. The random number generator 26 generates random numbers in the range of 0 to 2047 for special figure determination, and generates random numbers in the range of 0 to 99 for general figure determination. The random number for special figure determination (for normal figure determination) extracted by the random number extraction unit 25 is stored in the special figure reservation area 231 (the general figure reservation area 232) as the reserved ball information.

  When the start winning is detected, the random number extraction unit 25 newly generates a random number for determining a special figure if the number of reserved balls in the special figure reservation area 231 (the number of reserved random numbers) is three or less. And stored in the special figure reservation area 231. On the other hand, when the number of reserved balls for random numbers for special figure determination is four, the extraction of new random numbers for special figure determination is canceled. Further, when a winning to the passing gate 14 is detected, the random number extraction unit 25 newly extracts a random number for determining a normal figure if the number of reservations in the general figure reservation area 232 is three or less. Store in the reserved area 232. On the other hand, when there are four pending determination results, the extraction of a new random number for determining a common map is canceled.

  The big hit determination means 211 is stored in the special figure holding area 231 when it is possible to start the fluctuation display of the special figure, that is, when the special figure is not changing and is not in the big hit state (electric Chu operation). Check if there is any holding ball information. The jackpot determining means 211 reads out the oldest of the holding ball information (random numbers for special figure determination) stored in the special figure reservation area 231 and compares it with the special figure determination table.

  The jackpot determination means 211 of this example executes special figure determination that compares the read-out holding ball information with the winning random number table in the normal state shown in FIG. Special figure determination results include one win per jackpot, two wins per jackpot, three wins per jackpot, five wins per jackpot, and loses. The jackpot determining means 211 includes a jackpot counter that stores the number of jackpots that have not been generated among the winning jackpots. The jackpot determining means 211 sets the winning number in the jackpot counter when the jackpot is won, and subtracts the jackpot counter every time the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed.

  The big hit state generating means 212 is a means for controlling the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 and generating a big hit state. The jackpot state generating means 212 generates a jackpot state when the combination of symbols stopped and displayed on the special figure display unit 191 is a jackpot symbol. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, a jackpot flag is set as the status flag. The jackpot flag is set to the on state when a special symbol composed of a combination of symbols stopped by the special symbol display unit 191 is a large bonus symbol composed of a combination of the same symbols, that is, a combination of so-called flat eyes. The jackpot state generating means 212 generates a jackpot state when the jackpot flag is on.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this example configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. FIG. 4 shows the flow of the start winning process. 5 and 6 show the flow of special symbol variation start processing or special symbol variation stop processing.

  First, the flow of the start winning process will be described with reference to FIG. In the start winning process, first, it is determined whether or not a start winning is detected (S101). When the start winning is detected (S101: YES), it is determined whether or not the number of reserved balls in the special figure reservation area 231 is three or less (S102). If the number of stored balls is three or less (S102: YES), a new random number for special figure determination is extracted (S103) and stored in the special figure holding area 231 as held ball information (S104). . At this time, one display hold ball number which is the number of lighting of LED of the special figure hold display part 192 is added (S105). On the other hand, if the number of stored balls is four (S102: NO), it is determined whether the number of displayed balls is three or less (S113). When the number of display holding balls is three or less (S113: YES), one display holding ball is added (S105).

  Next, the flow of the special symbol variation start process will be described with reference to FIG. In the special symbol variation start process, it is first determined whether or not the special symbol can be varied (S201). If it is in a state where the fluctuation can be started (S201: YES), the value of the jackpot counter is determined (S202). When the value of the jackpot counter is zero (S202: NO), it is determined whether or not the number of stored balls is one or more (S203). When the number of stored balls is one or more (S203: YES), the oldest held ball information is read from the special figure holding area 231 (S204), and the number of stored balls and the number of displayed balls are 1 One is subtracted (S205).

  The read holding ball information (holding random number) is checked against a winning random number table (FIG. 3) to determine whether or not the jackpot is successful (S206). If the jackpot is won (S206: YES), the winning number is set in the jackpot counter (S207). Thereafter, the special figure change is started as described later in S208 to S211.

  On the other hand, when the value of the jackpot counter is one or more in S202, that is, when the second or subsequent symbol variation corresponding to two or more jackpots simultaneous winning is started (S202: YES), the display hold ball It is determined whether or not the number is one or more (S223). When the number of display reserved balls is one or more (S223: YES), one display reserved ball is subtracted (S224). Thereafter, the special figure change is started as described later in S208 to S211.

  In starting the special figure fluctuation, first, the combination of symbols to be stopped and displayed on the special figure display unit 191 (S208) and the symbol fluctuation pattern until the special figure fluctuation is stopped are determined (S209). Thereafter, special figure fluctuation is started (S210), and time measurement by the symbol fluctuation timer is started (S211).

  Next, the flow of the special symbol variation stop process will be described with reference to FIG. Here, it is first determined whether or not the symbol variation timer has expired (S301). When the symbol variation timer expires (S301: YES), the special symbol variation display is stopped (S302), and the symbol combination determined in S208 is stopped and displayed. When the combination of symbols that are stopped and displayed is a jackpot symbol, that is, a double-hit symbol with the same number (S303: YES), the jackpot flag is set to ON (S304), and the value of the jackpot counter is decremented by one. (S305).

  In the game of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present example controlled as described above, when two or more jackpots are simultaneously won, there are two or more symbol variations for one reading of the holding ball information. Can be executed. After the jackpot state corresponding to the stop display of the jackpot symbol due to the first symbol variation, the second and subsequent symbol variations are executed, and the jackpot symbol can be stopped and displayed each time.

  Here, the special figure holding display unit 192 (holding random number display means) of this example does not read out new holding ball information at the time of the second and subsequent symbol changes in the case of simultaneous winning of two or more jackpots. Also turn off the LEDs one by one and reduce the number of balls on display. Therefore, it is impossible for the player to determine whether it is the second or subsequent symbol variation corresponding to the jackpot simultaneous winning or the symbol variation corresponding to the reading of the new reserved ball information.

  Next, the manner in which the number of storage reserved balls and the number of display reserved balls fluctuate according to symbol variation when two or more jackpots are won simultaneously will be described with reference to FIG. The figure shows an example in which the hold ball information corresponding to the simultaneous winning of 3 jackpots is read in the state where the number of the display hold balls and the number of the storage hold balls are both.

  In the first symbol variation in response to the reading of the new reserved ball information, the number of displayed held balls and the number of stored held balls are subtracted one by one and both become two. In this first symbol variation, the jackpot symbol that triggers the first jackpot state is stopped and displayed. Here, during the occurrence of a long-term jackpot state for 15 rounds as described above, the winning at the start port 11 occurs many times, and therefore, the number of display hold balls and the memory hold ball until the end of the jackpot state. It can be expected that the number increases to the maximum number of four.

  In the subsequent second symbol variation, reading of new reserved ball information is not executed. For this reason, the number of storage-reserved balls does not decrease and remains four. At this time, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present example, only the number of display reserved balls is subtracted by one to be three. According to such control, it is possible to make it appear as if the second symbol variation has occurred in response to the reading of new reserved ball information.

  In the second symbol variation, the jackpot symbol that triggers the second jackpot state is stopped and displayed. Even in the second jackpot state, similarly to the first jackpot state, the winning at the start port 11 can occur many times. As described above, since the new reserved ball information is not read out in the second symbol variation, the number of stored balls at the time of occurrence of the jackpot state remains four, which is the maximum number. Therefore, all winnings to the start port 11 during the occurrence of the second jackpot state are so-called overflows in which random number extraction is canceled. On the other hand, although the number of display hold balls at the time of occurrence of the jackpot state is three, if one display hold ball number is added according to the first winning to the start port 11 during the occurrence of the jackpot state, it is stored. Both the display hold random number and the storage hold random number can be set to four, which is the maximum number, while pretending that one hold ball number has been added.

  Similarly to the case of the second symbol variation, the third symbol variation is also performed by subtracting only the number of the retention balls from the display without reading the retained ball information. Thereafter, at the end of the jackpot state corresponding to the stop display of the jackpot symbol due to the third symbol variation, as in the end point of the second jackpot state, both the number of stored balls and the number of displayed balls are maximum 4 As a result, the displayed number of balls on hold displays the actual number of balls on memory. When the oldest held ball information is read out in response to the end of the third jackpot state and normal symbol variation is started, the number of held balls is subtracted by one to become 3, and the number of displayed held balls is also There will be three.

  In this way, in the game of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this example, when two or more jackpots are won simultaneously, the jackpot state corresponding to the jackpots won at the same time is generated one after another without putting a short hair. May occur. In addition, even if the second and subsequent symbol changes are started without reading new reserved ball information in response to simultaneous winning of two or more jackpots, the number of displayed held balls decreases one by one. . For this reason, it is impossible to determine from the player side whether the symbol variation is the second or subsequent symbol variation corresponding to the jackpot simultaneous winning or normal symbol variation. Therefore, during the second and subsequent symbol changes corresponding to the simultaneous winning of the jackpot, there is no risk that the jackpot will be fixed as seen from the player side, and the expectation for the jackpot will be maintained until the end of the symbol change Can be made.

  As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present example is a pachinko gaming machine that quickly generates so-called continuous chants by generating a plurality of jackpot simultaneous winnings, and exhibits a small game.

  In addition, this example is an example in which the jackpot simultaneous winning is not determined by reducing the number of display holding balls when performing the second and subsequent symbol fluctuations when the jackpot is won simultaneously. It is also possible to provide a holding reduction lottery means for determining whether or not to reduce the number of display holding balls by lottery, and to turn off one LED of the special figure holding display section 192 only when it is decided to reduce. In this case, when it is decided not to reduce by lottery, since the symbol variation starts without decreasing the number of balls on display, the second and subsequent symbol variations corresponding to the jackpot simultaneous winning are thereby performed. It becomes possible to distinguish. According to such a configuration, it is possible to direct the player to pay attention to the number of display-reserved balls when the symbol changes immediately after the end of the jackpot state, and it is possible to further enhance the interest of the game.

  Further, in this example, the number of jackpot simultaneous winnings is limited to 2, 3, and 5, but any number of simultaneous winnings may be used as long as it is two or more. Further, the special figure hold display unit 192 may be formed on the display screen of the liquid crystal display unit 191.

  Furthermore, in addition to the special figure hold display section 192, a storage hold ball number display section for displaying the number of storage hold balls, which is the number of reserved random numbers stored in the special figure hold area 231, other than the display device 19 is provided. It may be provided in an inconspicuous location other than. In this case, the player can discriminate whether or not it is the second or later symbol variation corresponding to the jackpot simultaneous winning based on the number of the memory reserved balls displayed on the memory reserved ball number display unit. . In addition, if an openable / closable cover for concealing the storage reserved ball number display section is provided, the number of storage reserved balls can be confirmed only when the cover is opened.

  Although the specific example of this invention was demonstrated in detail like Example 1, these specific examples are only disclosing the example of the technique included in a claim. Needless to say, the scope of the claims should not be construed as limited by the configuration, numerical values, or the like of the specific examples.
