Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine.

In the pachinko machine, the special symbol starts to change with the establishment of the start condition that the game ball wins at the start winning opening, and stops at a specific symbol (for example, a set of three symbols such as “777”). , It is configured to shift to a jackpot state that is a special gaming state.
And in recent pachinko machines, there are several types of jackpots, even if it is generally a big hit. For example, a big winning device is opened for a certain period, or a game ball is defined in the big winning device For example, a big hit game that repeats 15 rounds of open action, such as a big hit game, or the open time of a big prize device, when a single open action (this open action is called 1 round) until several wins are made However, for example, there is a short hit that is extremely short, for example, 0.4 seconds, and the number of times that the winning device is opened is two.
For the long jackpot, after the jackpot game is over, the probability variable jackpot with both probability-changing games (hereinafter referred to as “probability games”) and time-saving games (hereinafter referred to as “short-time games”) as bonus games, and long There is a short and long jackpot (hereinafter referred to as “normal long jackpot”) in which a short game is given for a predetermined period (for example, 100 times) as a bonus game after the jackpot game ends.
The probability variation game refers to a gaming state (hereinafter referred to as a high probability state) in which the winning probability in the jackpot gaming state is higher than that in the normal gaming state. The short-time game refers to a game state in which the opening pattern of a variable winning device such as an electric tulip is extended to increase the probability of establishment of a start condition.

On the other hand, there are two types of short jackpots: a probabilistic short jackpot in which both a probable game and a short-time game are given as a bonus game after the jackpot game is finished, and a short-time and big jackpot in which only a short-time game is awarded as a bonus game after the jackpot game is finished. The above-mentioned probability variation jackpot is set to be extremely short because the opening time of each winning device is set extremely short. Since it is possible to give the player a feeling as if the game has shifted to the probability variation gaming state, this is called “surprise (sudden probability variation) jackpot”. Also, the short-and-short-time jackpot is called “sudden (sudden and short-time fluctuation) jackpot” because it can give the player a feeling as if the game has suddenly shifted to the short-time game state.
In addition, some recent pachinko machines have a jackpot that includes a probable long jackpot, a sudden jackpot, and a sudden jackpot without having the above-mentioned normal long jackpot. In this type of pachinko gaming machine, when the gaming state is the normal state, if the winning combination is a probable long hit or a sudden big hit, the normal gaming state is shifted from the normal gaming state to the high probability state after the big winning game ends. On the other hand, when the gaming state is a high-probability gaming state, the game state is configured to shift from the high-probability gaming state to the normal gaming state after the big-hitting game is completed only when a winning jackpot is won. Note that once this gaming machine is in a high-probability gaming state, this type of gaming machine is maintained in a high-probability gaming state until it wins a sudden jackpot. That is, the high probability gaming state is maintained with a relatively high probability. For this reason, this type of gaming machine seems to be a falling lottery type from the high probability gaming state to the normal gaming state every time the player wins a big win. It is also called a game machine.

In Patent Document 1, when the specific symbol stopped and displayed on the variable display means is the first probability variation symbol in which all of the plurality of pieces of identification information are the same combination, the special game executing means includes the variable winning means. The first special game for changing to a state advantageous to the player is executed, and after the completion of the first special game, the probability changing means indicates the probability that the specific symbol is stopped and displayed on the variable display means. Until it occurs, the normal probability is changed to a high probability. The special game executing means executes the second special game when the specific symbol stopped and displayed on the variable display means is the second probability variation symbol in which not all of the plurality of identification information are the same combination. At the same time, after the end of the second special game, the probability changing means changes the probability that the specific symbol is stopped and displayed on the variable display means from the normal probability to the high probability until the next special game occurs. The special game executing means executes the second special game when the specific symbol stopped and displayed on the variable display means is a second non-probability variation symbol in which not all of the plurality of identification information are the same. In addition, a gaming machine is disclosed in which the probability that the specific symbol is stopped and displayed on the variable display means after the execution of the second special game is the normal probability.
Further, in Patent Document 2, when a special big hit occurs when the gaming state is a normal state, control is made to a high base state after the big hit game is finished, and when the gaming state is a high base state, a special big hit occurs. In some cases, a gaming machine is disclosed that is controlled to a normal state after the end of the big hit game to prevent the big hits from being generated extremely continuously.

Japanese Patent No. 3974142 JP 2007-296265 A

Further, as described above, among the “falling lottery type” gaming machines, there is a gaming machine provided with, for example, a first big winning device having an open / close door and a second big winning device having a movable piece (blade).
FIG. 17 is a transition diagram of a game executed when a jackpot is won in the probability variation gaming state in the “falling lottery type” gaming machine including the first and second big winning devices.
First, when a big hit is won in the probability variation gaming state, for example, a reach effect A is performed so that the character of the hero suggests the start of a battle (S100). Next, if the winning jackpot is a promising jackpot, for example, the result B (winning) of the hero character wins (S101), and the first jackpot game (S102) that opens the first prize winning device, or One of the third big hit games (S103) for opening the second big winning device is selected.
In the case of the first jackpot game, a 15R jackpot game or a 7R jackpot game using the first jackpot device is executed. In the case of the third jackpot game, the jackpot game using the second jackpot device is executed. The jackpot game at this time includes a 16R jackpot that opens and closes the movable piece of the second big prize device once per 1R, a 32R jackpot that opens and closes the movable piece of the second big prize device twice per 1R, and the second big prize device's One of 48R jackpots that open and close the movable piece three times per 1R. After the first and third jackpot games are over (S104), the first game mode (probability game state) is continued (S105).

On the other hand, if the winning jackpot is a promising short jackpot, for example, a result C (losing) is performed as a result of the hero character losing (S106), and the second jackpot game using the first prize winning device is started. (S107). That is, the 2R probability change game or the 2R normal game (time-short game) is started using the first grand prize device. Then, after the second jackpot game is over (S108), a transition is made to the second game mode (probability change / short time game state) (S109).
However, in the above-mentioned “falling lottery type” gaming machine, the game time of the second jackpot game, which is a jackpot, is extremely short compared to the first jackpot game, which is a jackpot, so the game at the time of the second jackpot game There is a drawback that the production tends to be monotonous and lacks interest.
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and provides a pachinko gaming machine that can enhance the fun of game effects when hitting a junior college in a “falling lottery type” gaming machine.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and can be realized by the following modes.
In other words, the first form of the present invention is an effect image display means for displaying an effect image, a start opening and a variable winning device that allows a game ball to win, and an open state in which a game ball is difficult to win from an open state that is easy to win. The first and second big winning devices that can be opened and closed, the jackpot determining means for determining the big hit by winning the game ball in the starting port or the variable winning device, and the first big hit winning means by the jackpot determining means. Is determined, the shortest period of either the maximum opening period per time of the first grand prize winning device or the period until a predetermined number of game balls wins in the first grand prize winning device. When it is determined that the first big hit game execution means for executing the first big hit game that opens and closes a predetermined number of rounds as one round and the second big hit determination means by the big hit determination means, the second big hit A first period in which the award device is opened and closed a predetermined number of times or a period until a predetermined number of game balls are won in the second large prize winning device is defined as one round. A second jackpot game executing means for executing a two jackpot game, a bonus game table storing a bonus game, a bonus game determining means for determining a bonus game after the jackpot game is ended by the bonus game table, and the second jackpot game When the second big hit game is executed by the execution means, it is characterized by a pachinko gaming machine comprising image display control means for performing control for displaying a predetermined effect image on the effect image display means.
According to the first aspect, when it is determined by the jackpot determination means that the second jackpot is won, the second jackpot game is performed using the second jackpot device, so that the jackpot compared to the conventional jackpot It is possible to increase the interest of the game effect during the big hit game by extending the game time and performing control to display a predetermined effect image on the effect image display means by the image display control means.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the bonus game table has a high probability of winning a jackpot, and the first bonus game table in which the opening pattern of the variable winning device is extended, and the winning probability of a jackpot is low. And a second bonus game table in which an opening pattern of the variable winning device is extended only for a predetermined period, and when the bonus game determination means determines that the first jackpot determination means has won the first jackpot The first bonus game table is selected, and when the jackpot determination means determines that the second jackpot is won, the first bonus game table or the second bonus game table is selected. .
According to the second form, when it is determined that the second jackpot is won by the jackpot determining means, the game of the conventional “falling lottery type” is selected by selecting the first bonus game table or the second bonus game table. The jackpot corresponding to the “surprise jackpot” and “sudden jackpot” provided in the machine can be realized.
The third mode of the present invention is characterized in that the second big hit game execution means opens and closes the movable portion of the second big prize winning device once or a plurality of times per round.
According to the 3rd form, it becomes possible to change the number of balls at the time of the 2nd big hit game according to the privilege game given after the end of the 2nd big hit game.

  According to the present invention, when it is determined by the jackpot determining means that the second jackpot is won, the second jackpot game is performed using the second jackpot device, so that the jackpot game is compared with the conventional jackpot game. It is possible to increase the interest of the game effect during the big hit game by lengthening the time and controlling the image display control means to display a predetermined effect image on the effect image display means.

The first jackpot game executing means 102 executes the first jackpot game when the jackpot determining means 101 determines that the first jackpot is won.
As the first big hit game, for example, the open / close door 17 of the lower big prize device 16 is opened for a maximum openable time (for example, 29 seconds), or a predetermined number (for example, nine) of game balls are in the lower big prize device 16. An operation of opening and closing a predetermined number of rounds (15 rounds or 7 rounds) is performed with one short period of the period until winning a prize as one round.
The second jackpot game execution means 103 executes the second jackpot game when the jackpot determination means 101 determines that the second jackpot is won.
As the second big hit game, for example, a period during which the movable piece 19 of the upper prize winning device 18 opens and closes a predetermined number of times (for example, one or more times), or a predetermined number (for example, nine) games in the upper prize winning device 18. An operation of opening and closing a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 16 rounds) is performed with one short period of the period until the ball is won as one round. In this case, the opening time of the movable piece 19 is set shorter (for example, about 3 seconds) than the opening time (for example, 29 seconds) of the open / close door 17 of the lower prize-winning device 16.

The bonus game determining means 104 determines a bonus game after the jackpot game is over from the bonus game table 110 based on the jackpot symbol lottery result performed simultaneously with the jackpot lottery.
The privilege game table 110 is provided with a first privilege game table 111 and a second privilege game table 112.
The first privilege game table 111 is a probability variation game table in which the winning probability of winning a big hit is high and the opening pattern of the electric Chu 14 is extended.
On the other hand, the second privilege game table 112 is a short game table when the winning probability of winning a big hit is low and the opening pattern of the electric chew 14 is extended only for a predetermined period.
The image display control means 121 performs control to display a predetermined effect image on the image display 8 when the second big hit game execution means 103 executes the second big hit game.
The pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment is configured so as to always give a probability variation game when the first jackpot is won. Accordingly, when the jackpot determining unit 101 determines that the first jackpot is won, the bonus game determining unit 104 selects the first bonus game table 111. On the other hand, when it is determined by the jackpot determining means 101 that the second jackpot has been won, the privilege game determining means 104 selects either the first bonus game table 111 or the second bonus game table 112.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment configured as described above, the special symbol displayed on the special symbol display unit 9 is changed by winning the game ball in the upper starting pocket 13 or the electric chew 14 which is the starting port. To start. And when it is determined by the jackpot determining means 101 that the first jackpot has been won, the special symbol displayed on the special symbol indicator 9 is stopped at the predetermined symbol, and then the door 17 of the lower big prize winning device 16 is predetermined. The first jackpot game that is continuously opened for a predetermined number of times is executed, and after the jackpot game is over, the game shifts to the first game mode in which the first bonus game is given. On the other hand, if it is determined by the jackpot determining means 101 that the second jackpot has been won, the special symbol displayed on the special symbol indicator 9 is stopped at the predetermined symbol, and then the movable piece 19 of the top prize winning device 18 is predetermined. A second jackpot game that is continuously opened and closed for a predetermined number of times is executed, and after the jackpot game ends, the game shifts to a second game mode in which either the first bonus game or the second bonus game is given.

As shown in FIG. 17, in the conventional “falling lottery type” pachinko machine, the game time of the second jackpot game which is a short jackpot is extremely short compared to the first jackpot game which is a long jackpot. The game effects during the second jackpot game tend to be monotonous.
Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment is configured to perform the second big hit game using the upper prize winning device 18 having the movable piece 19 only when the conventional big hit without a ball is won. With this configuration, the jackpot game time can be secured longer than the conventional short jackpot, so that the image display control means 121 performs control to display a predetermined effect image on the image display 8. Thus, it is possible to enhance the fun of the game production during the jackpot game.

FIG. 4 is a transition diagram of a game executed when a jackpot is won in the probability variation gaming state. Here, a case where a battle effect (confrontation effect) is executed as a game effect will be described as an example. In the present embodiment, the number of rounds per suddenness is 16R, and the number of times the movable piece 19 is opened and closed per round is a plurality of times (for example, two times). In addition, the number of rounds of a big hit in a sudden is 16R, and the number of opening and closing of the movable piece 19 per round is one.
First, when winning a big hit in the probability variation gaming state, for example, a reach effect A is performed so that the character of the main character suggests the start of a battle (S1). Next, if the winning jackpot is the first jackpot, for example, the result B (winning) is performed as a result of the hero character winning (S2), and the first jackpot game using the lower prize-winning device 16 is started (S3). ). After the jackpot game is over (S4), the first game mode (probability game state) is continued (S5).
On the other hand, if the winning jackpot is the second jackpot, for example, the result C (losing) of the hero character is defeated (S6), and the second jackpot game using the top winning device 18 is started. (S7).

In the present embodiment, since the second big hit game is executed using the top big prize device 18, the game time of the second big hit game can be secured longer than in the past, so this embodiment Then, for example, a revival effect D is performed in which the character of the hero is revitalized (S8). If the second jackpot is a probability jackpot that gives a chance game, for example, when the 8R ends (when the movable piece 19 is movable 16 times), the hero character wins a result E (win) (S9), After the jackpot game is over (S4), the first game mode is continued (S5).
On the other hand, if the second jackpot is a time bonus that grants a short-time game, for example, at the end of 16R (when the movable piece 19 is movable 16 times), an effect F (losing) is performed as a result of the hero character losing (S10), After the big hit game is over (S11), the process shifts to the second game mode (probability change / short time game state) (S12).
As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, as the second jackpot game, the 16R jackpot game using the top jackpot device 18 is executed. As described above, the bottom jackpot device Compared to the conventional short hit game using 16, the big hit game time can be secured longer. As a result, during the period from the start of the second jackpot game to the end of the jackpot game, for example, the image display control means 121 displays the restoration effect D, the result effect E (win), and the result effect F (losing) on the image display 8. Control can be performed, and the fun (pounding feeling) of the game effect during the second jackpot game can be enhanced.

Hereinafter, processing for realizing the game effects of the present embodiment described so far will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing processing of the game control board of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment. Note that the processing shown in FIG. 5 is realized by the main CPU 31 of the game control board 30 executing a program stored in the ROM 32.
[Timer interrupt processing]
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of timer interrupt processing executed by the main CPU.
The main CPU 31 performs an interrupt process as a random number update process (S1), a start port SW process (S2), a gate SW process (S3), a special symbol process (S4), a normal symbol process (S5), and a big prize mouth process ( After performing S6), electric Chu process (S7), prize ball process (S8), and output process (S9), the initial value random number is repeatedly updated (S10).

Hereinafter, various processes executed by the main CPU in the timer interrupt process will be described.
[First start port SW processing]
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the first start port SW process executed by the main CPU.
In this case, the main CPU 31 determines whether or not the first start port SW14a is ON (S21). If it is determined that the first start port SW14a is ON (S21: Yes), the first start port It is determined whether or not the count value U1 of the first start port detection counter that counts the number of detections of the mouth SW 14a is U1 <4 (S22). When the count value U1 is smaller than “4” (S22: Yes), “1” is added to the count value U1 (S23).
Next, various random numbers (a jackpot random number, a jackpot symbol random number, a reach random number) are acquired and stored in the RAM 33 (S24). Thereafter, a command for three prize balls is set (S25), and the process returns to the main process.
