  As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko machine 1 has a glass door frame 2 formed in a frame shape. On the lower surface of the glass door frame 2 is a hitting ball supply tray (upper plate) 3. Under the hitting ball supply tray 3, an extra ball receiving tray 4 for storing game balls that cannot be accommodated in the hit ball supply tray 3 and a hitting operation handle (operation knob) 5 for launching the game balls are provided. A game board 6 is detachably attached to the back surface of the glass door frame 2. The game board 6 is a structure including a plate-like body constituting the game board 6 and various components attached to the plate-like body. In addition, a game area 7 is formed on the front surface of the game board 6 in which a game ball that has been struck can flow down.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, a protruding portion 3 ′ provided with a cross key operation portion 40 that can be operated by the player is formed at the outer front position of the hitting ball supply tray 3. The player can perform a password input operation, which will be described later, on the cross key operation unit 40.

  That is, the cross key operation unit 40 according to the present embodiment accepts an operation for inputting a numerical value (identification information) of each digit constituting the password as the parameter specifying information of the present invention from the player. The operation unit 40 forms the input operation means of the present invention.

  In the vicinity of the center of the game area 7, a plurality of types of effects that can be distinguished from each other based on the establishment of a predetermined start condition (for example, that the hit ball has won the first start winning opening 13 or the second starting winning opening 14). A variable display device 9 is provided for variably (variably) displaying decorative patterns for display and for displaying and displaying a display result.

  The variable display device 9 of the present embodiment is configured by a liquid crystal display (LCD), and is configured such that decorative symbols are displayed and controlled in three display areas (decorative symbol display areas) of left, middle, and right. Yes. Note that winning means that a game ball has entered a predetermined area such as a winning opening. In addition, the display result is a combination of symbols that are stopped and displayed (however, a temporary stop before so-called re-variation is excluded).

  In the present embodiment, the numbers “0” to “9” are used as decorative symbols displayed in the three display areas of the variable display device 9. During variable display (fluctuation) of decorative symbols, in principle, decorative symbols “0” to “9” are displayed in numerical order.

  A special symbol display (special symbol display device) 8 that variably displays a special symbol as identification information is provided on the variable display device 9. In the present embodiment, the special symbol display 8 is realized by a simple and small display (for example, 7-segment LED) capable of variably displaying numbers “0” to “9”, for example. The special symbol display 8 may be configured to variably display more types of numbers such as “0” to “99” in order to make it difficult for the player to grasp a specific stop symbol.

  The variable display device 9 performs variable (fluctuation) display of the decorative symbol as a symbol for decoration (production) during the variable symbol display period of the special symbol by the special symbol indicator 8. The variable display device 9 that performs variable display of decorative symbols is controlled by an effect control microcomputer mounted on the effect control board. The special symbol display 8 that performs variable display of the special symbol is controlled by a game control microcomputer mounted on the game control board (see FIGS. 2 and 3).

  At the bottom of the variable display device 9, four displays for displaying the number of effective winning balls that have entered the first start winning opening 13 and the second starting winning opening 14, that is, the number of reserved memories (also referred to as start memory or start winning memory). A special symbol storage display 18 is provided. Every time there is an effective start prize, the display color of one display is changed. Each time the variable display on the special symbol display 8 is started, the display color of one display is restored.

  In this embodiment, since the special symbol display 8 and the special symbol hold storage display 18 are provided separately, the number of hold storages can be displayed even during variable display. In the display area of the variable display device 9, a special symbol reserved storage display area including four display areas for displaying the number of reserved memories may be provided. In this embodiment, the upper limit value of the number of reserved memories is 4, but the upper limit value may be larger. Further, the upper limit value may be changeable according to the gaming state.

  Below the variable display device 9, there is formed a first start winning opening 13 through which a game ball can be won. The game ball won in the first start winning opening 13 is guided to the back of the game board 6 and detected by the first start opening switch 13a.

  Further, a second start winning opening 14 is formed immediately below the first starting winning opening 13. The second start winning opening 14 is provided with a variable winning ball apparatus 15 that opens and closes. When the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is in the physically closed state, the game ball does not win the second starting winning hole 14, and when the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is in the physically open state, the second start winning prize is obtained. A game ball can be won in the mouth 14. The variable winning ball device 15 is opened and closed by a solenoid 16. When the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is in the open state, it becomes easy for the game ball to win the second start winning opening 14 (easy to start winning), which is advantageous for the player. The game ball that has won the second start winning opening 14 is guided to the back of the game board 6 and detected by the second start opening switch 14a.

  A special variable winning device that is opened by the solenoid 21 in the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state is provided below the start winning opening 14. The special variable winning device includes an opening / closing plate 20 and forms a big winning opening. The game ball that has entered the big prize opening is detected by the count switch 23.

  A normal symbol display 10 is provided directly above the variable display device 9. The normal symbol display 10 variably displays a plurality of types of identification information (for example, “◯” and “x”) called normal symbols.

  When the game ball passes through the gate 32 and is detected by the gate switch 32a, the variable display of the normal symbol display 10 is started. In this embodiment, the left and right lamps (the symbols can be visually recognized when lit) are alternately lit to perform variable display. For example, if the left lamp is lit at the end of variable display, it is a win. . When the stop symbol on the normal symbol display 10 is a predetermined symbol (winning symbol), the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is opened for a predetermined time for a predetermined number of times. That is, the state of the variable winning ball device 15 changes from a disadvantageous state to a player's advantageous state when the normal symbol is a winning symbol. In the vicinity of the normal symbol display 10, a normal symbol holding storage display 41 having a display unit with four LEDs for displaying the number of balls passing through the gate 32 is provided. Each time there is a game ball passing to the gate 32, the normal symbol hold memory display 41 increments the LED to be turned on by one. Each time variable display on the normal symbol display 10 is started, the number of LEDs to be lit is reduced by one.

  The game board 6 is provided with a plurality of winning holes 29, 30, 33, 39, and winning of game balls to the winning holes 29, 30, 33, 39 is performed by winning hole switches 29a, 30a, 33a, 39a, respectively. Detected. Each winning opening 29, 30, 33, 39 constitutes a winning area provided in the game board 6 as an area for accepting game balls and allowing winning. The first start winning opening 13, the second starting winning opening 14, and the big winning opening also constitute a winning area that accepts a game ball and allows winning. A decorative lamp 25 blinkingly displayed during the game is provided around the left and right of the game area 7 of the game board 6, and an out port 26 into which a hit ball that has not won a prize is taken in at the bottom.

  In addition, two speakers 27 that utter (output) sound effects and sounds as predetermined sound outputs are provided on the left and right upper portions outside the game area 7. On the outer periphery of the game area 7, a top frame lamp 28a, a left frame lamp 28b, and a right frame lamp 28c are provided. Further, a decoration LED is installed around each structure (such as a big prize opening) in the game area 7. The top frame lamp 28a, the left frame lamp 28b, the right frame lamp 28c, and the decorative LED are examples of a decorative light emitter provided in the gaming machine.

  Also, below the left speaker 27 is provided a prize ball LED 51 that is lit while paying out the prize ball, and below the right speaker 27 is provided a ball cut LED 52 that is lit when the supply ball is cut. Yes.

  In the gaming machine, a ball striking device (not shown) that drives a driving motor in response to a player operating the batting operation handle 5 and uses the rotational force of the driving motor to launch a gaming ball to the gaming area 7. ) Is provided. A game ball launched from the ball striking device enters the game area 7 through a ball striking rail formed in a circular shape so as to surround the game area 7, and then descends the game area 7. If the game ball enters the first start winning opening 13 or the second start winning opening 14 and is detected by the first start opening switch 13a or the second start opening switch 14a, it is in a state where variable symbol display can be started ( For example, the jackpot game ends or the previous variable display ends), the special symbol display 8 starts the variable display (variation) of the special symbol, and the variable display device 9 starts the variable display (effect display). Is done. If the variable symbol special display cannot be started, the reserved memory number for the special symbol storage memory display 18 is increased by one.

  The variable display (effect display) of the special symbol on the special symbol display 8 and the decorative symbol of the variable display device 9 is stopped when a predetermined time has elapsed. When the stop symbol at the time of stoppage becomes a probable variation symbol (excluding a sudden probability variation symbol described later) or a non-probability variation symbol of the big hit symbol, it shifts to a big hit gaming state (probable big hit or non-probable big hit (also called normal big hit)) . That is, the special variable prize-winning device is opened until a predetermined time (for example, 29 seconds) elapses or until a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls have won the big prize opening. It should be noted that one round in the big hit gaming state is a period from when the special variable winning device is opened until a predetermined period elapses or until a predetermined number (for example, ten) of hitting balls wins the big winning opening. In this embodiment, when the stop symbol is changed to the probable variation symbol or the non-probability variation symbol, the big hit gaming state is continued for 15 rounds.

  In this embodiment, the special symbol variable display on the special symbol display 8 and the decorative symbol variable display on the variable display device 9 are synchronized. Here, the synchronization means that the variable display period (variable display time) is the same. In addition, the display result on the special symbol display 8 (a special symbol stop symbol) corresponds to the display result on the variable display device 9 (decorative symbol stop symbol). The correspondence between the two symbols will be described later.

  Next, the type of gaming state and the transition of gaming state will be described. First, the probability variation state (probability variation state) refers to a gaming state that is advantageous for a player who has a higher probability of a big hit (that is, a symbol is a big hit symbol) than the normal gaming state and the short-time state.

  Also, the short time state (time shortening state) means that the special symbol variable display time (variation time) of the special symbol on the special symbol display 8 and the variable display device 9 is the normal gaming state and the probability variation state (except the probability variation time short state). It means a gaming state that is shortened. By shortening the variable display time in this way, the variable display of symbols is frequently executed, and the probability of jackpot per unit time is improved, resulting in an advantageous state for the player. In the short time state, in the normal symbol display 10, the probability that the stop symbol becomes a winning symbol is higher than the normal gaming state and the probability variation state (excluding the probability variation time short state), and the opening time and the release time in the variable winning ball device 15 are increased. One or both of the number of times is increased more than the normal game state and the probability change state (except for the probability change time short state), which is a more advantageous state for the player. Further, in the short time state, the variable symbol display time (variation time) of the normal symbol on the normal symbol display device 10 is shorter than the normal game state and the probable change state (excluding the probable change short time state), which is further advantageous for the player. It becomes a state. In addition, the probability that the stop symbol of the normal symbol becomes a winning symbol is improved, and one or both of the opening time and the number of times of opening in the variable winning ball apparatus 15 are increased, and the variable display time of the normal symbol is reduced. A normal state other than the high base state is called a low base state.

  Here, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the gaming state transitions as follows.

  (1) When the normal game state and the short-time state, the probability change symbol (excluding the sudden probability variation symbol) will be a big hit, and when the big hit game ends, the gaming state is changed from the normal game state and the short-time state to the probability change time-short state . As a result, the probability that the special symbol and the normal symbol stop symbol become a winning symbol is increased, the variation time of the special symbol and the normal symbol is shortened, and the opening time and the number of times of opening in the variable winning ball apparatus 15 are also increased.

  (2) In the probability variation state, the probability variation symbol is a big hit, and when the big hit game is finished, the probability variation time short state is maintained without changing again.

  (3) In the normal game state and the short-time state, a big hit is made with a non-probable variable symbol, and when the big-hit game is ended, the time-short state is controlled by a predetermined number of fluctuations (for example, 100 times) after the big hit. That is, when the gaming state is the normal gaming state, the transition from the normal gaming state to the short-time state is made a predetermined number of times of variation, and when the gaming state is the short-time state, the short-time state is continued for a predetermined number of times of variation. At this time, the variation time of the special symbol and the normal symbol is shortened, and the opening time and the number of times of opening in the variable winning ball apparatus 15 are also increased. Then, when the change of the predetermined number of changes is started, the gaming state is shifted from the short-time state to the normal gaming state.

  (4) When the probability change state and the probability change time short state, a big hit is made with a non-probability variable symbol, and when the big hit game is ended, the time is controlled to a short time state by a predetermined number of fluctuations (eg, 100 times) after the big hit. In other words, the state is shifted from the probability variation state and the probability variation short time state to the short time state by a predetermined number of fluctuations. At this time, the variation time of the special symbol and the normal symbol is shortened, and the opening time and the number of times of opening in the variable winning ball apparatus 15 are also increased. Then, when the change of the predetermined number of changes is started, the gaming state is shifted from the short-time state to the normal gaming state.

  The transition of the gaming state as described above is an example, and the present invention is not limited to such a configuration.

  Next, the correspondence relationship between the stop symbol of the special symbol and the stop symbol of the decorative symbol (the outlier symbol of both symbols, the probability variation symbol, the non-probability variation symbol, the sudden probability variation symbol, and the small hit symbol symbol) will be described.

  Further, as described above, the left, middle and right decorative symbols variably displayed on the variable display device 9 are “0” to “9”, respectively. Here, the off-design symbol is a symbol (for example, “358” or the like) in which the left, middle, and right ornament symbols are not aligned with the same symbol. Note that although the left and right decorative symbols are aligned in the same pattern (although it is a reach), the state in which only the decorative symbols in the middle are not aligned is also an outlier.

  The big hit symbol of the decorative symbol is a symbol in a state in which the decorative symbols on the left, middle and right are aligned in the same symbol. Specifically, “000”, “111”, “222”, “333”, “444”, “555”, “666”, “777”, “888”, “999”. Among these, the symbols (“111”, “333”, “555”, “777”, “999”) in a state of being arranged in an odd number of decorative symbols are probability variation symbols, and the symbols in a state of being arranged in an even number of decorative symbols (“000”, “222”, “444”, “666”, “888”) are non-probable variables.

  Next, the reach display mode (reach) will be described. The reach display mode (reach) in this embodiment is a variable display (variable display) for decorative symbols that have not yet stopped when the stopped decorative symbols constitute a part of the jackpot symbol. And all or part of the decorative symbols are in a state of being variably displayed synchronously while constituting all or part of the jackpot symbol.

  For example, in the left, right and right display areas of the variable display device 9, the left and right display areas are displayed in a state in which a decorative symbol (for example, “7”) which is a part of the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed. The display area is still in a variable display state, and all or some of the symbols in the display area are synchronously variably displayed while constituting all or part of the jackpot symbol (for example, variable display) The variable display is performed on all of the left, middle, and right display areas in the device 9, and the variable display is always performed in a state where the same symbols are aligned), which is the reach display mode or reach.

  In addition, during the reach, an unusual performance is performed with a lamp or sound. The effect and the reach display mode in the variable display device 9 are called reach effects. In addition, as will be described later, in this reach production, the character determined as the production target by the production control microcomputer 100 (the production display imitating a person etc., which is different from the design (decoration design etc.)) A character effect is displayed, and an effect of changing the background display mode (for example, color) of the variable display device 9 is performed.

Perform display control.

  An information output circuit (not shown) that outputs an information output signal such as jackpot information indicating the occurrence of a jackpot gaming state to an external device such as a hall computer is also mounted on the main board 31.

  In this embodiment, the effect control microcomputer 100 (see FIG. 3) mounted on the effect control board 80 receives the effect control command from the game control microcomputer 560 via the relay board 77, and Display control of the variable display device 9 for variably displaying the decorative design and the reach effect display by each character is performed.

  That is, the effect control board 80 and the variable display device 9 of the present embodiment start an effect display including character effects by characters (characters A, A ′, B, B ′, C, C ′, P). This is performed in response to the reception of the effect control command output from the game control microcomputer 560 (main board 31) based on the effective start winning that satisfies the condition. By the effect control board 80 and the variable display device 9, The effect display means in the present invention is formed.

  The effect control microcomputer 100 mounted on the effect control board 80 controls the display of the decorative lamp 25 provided on the game board via the lamp driver board 35 and is provided on the frame side. In addition to controlling the lighting of the top frame lamp 28a, the left frame lamp 28b, the right frame lamp 28c, the prize ball lamp 51 and the ball-out lamp 52, the sound output from the speaker 27 is controlled via the audio output board 70.

  Here, FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a circuit configuration example of the relay board 77, the effect control board 80, the lamp driver board 35, and the audio output board 70. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the lamp driver board 35 and the audio output board 70 are not equipped with a microcomputer, but may be equipped with a microcomputer. Further, without providing the lamp driver board 35 and the audio output board 70, only the effect control board 80 may be provided for effect control.

  The effect control board 80 is equipped with an effect control microcomputer 100 including an effect control CPU 101 and a RAM (not shown). The RAM may be externally attached. In the effect control board 80, the effect control CPU 101 operates in accordance with a program stored in a built-in or external ROM (not shown), and receives a capture signal from the main board 31 input via the relay board 77 ( In response to the (effect control INT signal), an effect control command is received via the input driver 102 and the input port 103. Further, the effect control CPU 101 causes the VDP (video display processor) 109 to perform display control of the variable display device 9 based on the effect control command.

  In the present embodiment, a VDP 109 that performs display control of the variable display device 9 in cooperation with the effect control microcomputer 100 is mounted on the effect control board 80. The VDP 109 has an address space independent of the production control microcomputer 100, and maps a VRAM therein. VRAM is a buffer memory for developing image data. The VDP 109 outputs the image data in the VRAM to the variable display device 9 via the frame memory.

  The effect control CPU 101 determines the reach content to be executed when performing the reach effect according to the received effect control command, and reads out character data and the like necessary for performing the character effect of the reach content from CGROM (not shown). Is output to the VDP 109. The CGROM stores character image data and moving image data displayed on the variable display device 9, specifically, a person, characters, figures, symbols, etc. (including decorative designs), and background image data in advance. ROM. The VDP 109 reads image data from the CGROM in response to the instruction from the effect control CPU 101. The VDP 109 executes display control based on the read image data.

  The effect control command and the effect control INT signal are first input to the input driver 102 on the effect control board 80. The input driver 102 passes the signal input from the relay board 77 only in the direction toward the inside of the effect control board 80 (does not pass the signal in the direction from the inside of the effect control board 80 to the relay board 77). It is also a unidirectional circuit as a regulating means.

  That is, the signal that is input from the main board 31 is allowed to pass through the relay board 77 only in the direction toward the effect control board 80 (the signal is not passed in the direction from the effect control board 80 to the relay board 77). As a means, a unidirectional circuit 74 is mounted. For example, a diode or a transistor is used as the unidirectional circuit. FIG. 3 illustrates a diode. A unidirectional circuit is provided for each signal. Furthermore, since the effect control command and the effect control INT signal are output from the main board 31 via the output port 571 that is a unidirectional circuit, the signal from the relay board 77 toward the inside of the main board 31 is restricted. That is, the signal from the relay board 77 does not enter the inside of the main board 31 (the game control microcomputer 560 side). The output port 571 is a part of the I / O port unit 57 shown in FIG. Further, a signal driver circuit that is a unidirectional circuit may be further provided outside the output port 571 (on the relay board 77 side).

  Further, the effect control CPU 101 outputs a signal for driving the lamp corresponding to the received effect control command to the lamp driver board 35 via the output port 105, thereby performing display control with the received effect control command. The lighting effect corresponding to the variable display of the decorative design in the variable display device 9 is performed.

  The effect control CPU 101 is connected to a cross key switch board 40 a (see FIG. 4) provided inside the cross key operation unit 40 via the input port 106, and can be operated by the cross key operation unit 40. A corresponding signal is input to the CPU 101 for effect control.

  The cross key operation unit 40 used in this embodiment has four cross keys arranged in a cross shape corresponding to the up, down, left and right directions, and a center key provided at the center of these four operation keys. The player can perform the password input operation described later by operating these five keys while viewing the screen displayed on the variable display device 9.

  Further, the production control CPU 101 selects and outputs the production sound code corresponding to the received production control command to the speech synthesis IC 703 mounted on the audio output board 70 via the output port 104. The sound corresponding to the variable display of the decorative design in the variable display device 9 controlled to be displayed by the received effect control command, that is, the effect sound corresponding to the event in the game is synthesized and output.

  In the lamp driver board 35, a signal for driving the lamp is input to the lamp driver 352 via the input driver 351. The lamp driver 352 amplifies a signal for driving the lamp and supplies the amplified signal to each lamp provided on the frame side such as the top frame lamp 28a, the left frame lamp 28b, and the right frame lamp 28c. Further, it is supplied to a decorative lamp 25 provided on the frame side.

  In the audio output board 70, the production sound code is input to the speech synthesis IC 703 via the input driver 702. The voice synthesizing IC 703 generates a voice or a sound effect corresponding to the effect sound code and outputs it to the amplifier circuit 705. The amplifier circuit 705 outputs an audio signal obtained by amplifying the input level from the speech synthesis IC 703 to a level corresponding to the volume set by the volume 706 to the speaker 27. The audio data ROM 704 stores control data corresponding to the production sound code. The control data corresponding to the effect sound code is a collection of data indicating the sound effect or sound output mode in a time series in a predetermined period (for example, a decorative symbol variation period).

  The effect control board 80 includes a RAM 108 and a data ROM 107 that are locally connected to the effect control microcomputer 100. The stored data of each table stored in the RAM 108 and the data ROM 107 and the received effect are received. Based on the control command, the presence / absence of the reach effect and the content of the character effect are determined.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the production control board 80 of the present embodiment is connected to a backup power source, and the production control board 80 can be operated for a predetermined time even if a sudden power interruption occurs. The memory of the RAM 108 is also held.

  Here, data stored in the RAM 108 and the data ROM 107 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, the RAM 108 stores a character information table shown in FIG. This character information table includes character types (character A, character B, character C, character A ′ (another character of character A), character B ′ (another character of character B) stored in CGROM, which will be described later. Character), character C ′ (another character of character C), character P (special character)), and whether or not the character can be determined in the character determination process (FIG. 21) described later. Information ("0" cannot be determined, "1" can be determined) and random number value range of random number value for character determination used to determine character to be used for presentation from among characters that can be determined Data and level values (100 steps from 0 to 100) that are parameters of the character Are 憶, by the character information table, character or determinable as director object at that time, and to be able to identify the level value of each character at that time.

  That is, in the character information table of the present embodiment, the level (parameter) set for each of a plurality of characters is stored, and the parameter storage means of the present invention is stored in the RAM 108 in which the character information table is stored. Is formed.

  Further, although not particularly shown in the figure, the variable display device 9 is changed after the temporary storage area for temporarily storing numerical values of each digit received by password acceptance, which will be described later, and the character level value are changed. Is provided with an effect display counter for counting the number of times the effect display is performed.

  Further, the data ROM 107 includes a reach pattern determination table shown in FIG. 6A, a training reach determination table shown in FIG. 6B, a confrontation reach determination table illustrated in FIGS. The password table shown in FIG.

  In the reach pattern determination table according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6A, the random effect values 1 to 6 acquired when the received effect control command is to execute super reach. In addition, the type of super reach is stored, and the super reach to be performed is determined by the obtained random number value.

  The reach pattern determination table is used for “big hit” when the final effect is received by the received effect control command, and “lost” is used when the final effect is determined by the received effect control command. The table includes two types of reach pattern determination tables for “hour”, and the characteristics are that super reach, super reach A, super reach B, and confrontation reach other than “training reach” are finally determined when it is a big hit. On the other hand, in the event of a final lapse, all super reach including “training reach” is determined. In other words, when the “training reach” occurs, the game is inevitably lost. However, as the training reach is performed, the game level of raising the level of the character as described later is given.

  In addition, the training reach determination table of the present embodiment is a super reach according to the reach pattern determination table for each character type of character A (A ′), character B (B ′), character C (C ′), and character P. Random values of 1 to 10 acquired when the training reach is determined as the type of training and the level value increased by the training reach are three types of training reach (mental training reach, skill training reach, physical strength training reach) And the type of training reach to be performed is determined based on the type of character determined as the production target at that time and the acquired random number value, and the determined character is stored in the training The size of the level to be increased can be specified by reach.

  That is, the training reach determination table of the present embodiment has an update condition for updating the level (parameter) of each character (specifically, a condition for how much level is increased at which reach (random number)), The update condition storage means of the present invention is formed by the data ROM 107 that stores each character and stores the training reach determination table.

  In this embodiment, as shown in () in FIG. 6B, the up values of the different characters (A ′), character (B ′), and character (C ′) are the corresponding characters. When the up value of A, character B, and character C is 1, it is set to 2 which is twice that, 7 when the up value is 5, and 10 when the up value is 10. Another character is easier to level up.

  Character A (A ′), character B (B ′), character C (C ′), and character P each have their own strengths and weaknesses. In order to greatly increase the level, mental training reach, skill training reach, and physical strength training reach are set to have different up values, and character A (A ′), character B (B ′), character C ( C ') By making each character P have good training and weak training different from each other, even with the same training reach, depending on the determined character, the level is greatly increased, or conversely, the level is hardly increased. The game is given.

  Specifically, since the character A (A ′) is a character who is good at mental training, normal at technical training, and not good at physical training, the range of random values for good mental training is 1. It is set as many as ~ 6, and when the up value is set to 1, many good spiritual exercises are easily determined and appear, but in this good spiritual exercise, the level increases only 1 while Conversely, if the range of random values for poor physical fitness is set to only one of 10, the poor physical fitness will rarely appear. However, in this weak physical exercise, the level is 10 Up.

  Further, since the character B (B ′) is a character who is good at skill training, normal at physical training, and not good at mental training, the range of random values of the skill training is 1-6. When the up value is set to 1, many good skill trainings are easily determined and appear, but this good skill training only increases the level by 1, whereas conversely When the range of random values for poor mental exercises is set to only one of 10, the poor mental exercises rarely appear, but in this poor mental exercises, the level increases by 10 .

  In this embodiment, there are a large number of random values corresponding to training reach that is good at a small level up, and a small number of random values corresponding to training reach that is not good at a high level up, so that the level up is large. The game is also provided so that poor training reach is relatively difficult to occur.

  The confrontation reach determination table of this embodiment is a table for determining the content of confrontation reach according to the level value of each character when confrontation reach is determined as the type of super reach.

  Specifically, in the confrontation reach determination table, the types of characters that can be determined are character A (A ′), character B (B ′), and character C (C ′), and are actually determined. When the character is a character A (A ′), a character B (B ′), or a character C (C ′), three confrontation reach determination tables and a premium character P described later can be determined. When the actually determined character is character A (A ′), character B (B ′), character C (C ′) or premium character P, the four confrontation reach determination tables used respectively There are a total of seven confrontation reach determination tables, and the final display results for each of these seven confrontation reach determination tables. There are 14 types of confrontation reach determination table (during big win) and confrontation reach determination table (during loss) used when the final display result is lost. A reach determination table is stored.

  Of these 14 types of confrontation reach determination tables, FIG. 7 shows that the types of characters that can be determined are character A (A ′), character B (B ′), and character C (C ′). This table shows a confrontation reach determination table (when character A is determined to be lost) used when the character that is actually determined is character A (A ′) and the final display result is lost. .

  In this confrontation reach determination table (when character A is determined and lost), as shown in FIG. 7, three level ranges (20 or less, 21 to 50, 51 to 100) of determined character A (A ′) are shown. ) And other undecided character B (B ′) and character C (C ′) level combinations, and the type of technique to be executed in the confrontation reach in the combination, and confrontation reach The type of opponent to be confronted (enemy 1 or enemy 2) is stored, and the confrontation reach of various contents according to the level range of each character at that time is determined.

  In other words, the contents of the confrontation reach include single skills 1 to 3 that appear only when only the determined character has a high level, and when one of the determined characters and other characters has a high level. Combined techniques 1 and 2 by the high-level character that can appear, and combined techniques 1 and 2 by all the characters that can appear when the level of the determined character and all other characters are high In single technique 1 and single technique 2, only a single enemy (enemy 2), in single technique 3 only a single enemy (enemy 1), and in combined technique, enemy 1 and enemy 2 Both are set as enemies to confront.

  Then, according to the content of the confrontation reach that can be determined (appears) in the combination of the level ranges of each character at that time (technical type and enemy), an appropriate range of random numbers from 1 to 100 A random value is stored. For example, when the confrontation reach of a plurality of types (technical types and enemies) can be determined (can appear) at the level of each character at that time, the contents (technical types) that can be determined (can appear) And random numbers in an appropriate range are stored corresponding to the enemy), and each random number value (one of the ranges from 1 to 100) acquired when determining the content of the confrontation reach is The content (technical type and enemy) of one confrontation reach is determined from the reach contents (technical type and enemy) that can be determined (appears) according to the character level.

  In addition, when the confrontation reach of a plurality of types of contents (technical types and enemies) can be determined (appears) at the level of each character, the range of random values corresponding to each content (technical types and enemies) is set. Establishing a difference, that is, increasing the number of random values corresponding to one content (technical type and enemy) and decreasing the number of random values corresponding to the other content (technical type and enemy) (however, Confrontation reach content with high appearance frequency and confrontation reach content with low appearance frequency according to the sum of all types of content that can appear (technical type and enemy) is the range of the random number to be acquired 100) And are set.

  In this embodiment, the enemy 2 is a stronger enemy than the enemy 1 with respect to any single skill 1 to 3 of any character. The single technique 2 is more powerful than the single technique 1, and the single technique 3 is more powerful than the single technique 2. Therefore, in this embodiment, in the single technique 1 and the single technique 2 that appear when the character level is low, the strong enemy 2 is set as the opponent, and in the single technique 3 that appears when the character level is high In the case where weak enemy 1 is set as the opponent and finally loses, the opponent who is advantageous to the confrontation is weak and powerful, but the single technique that is more disadvantageous than the confrontation by the single technique 3 The range of random number values is set so that many confrontation reach of 2 and single technique 1 appear.

  In the event of a big win, as shown in the confrontation reach determination table (character A selection, big win) in FIG. 8 to be described later, the confrontation opponent advantageous to the confrontation is weak and powerful due to the single technique 3 The range of random values is set so that more confrontation reach appears than when lost. In other words, in the event of a big win, the frequency of appearance of single skill 3 that is advantageous to the confrontation will increase, so there will be many effects that will win the confrontation and become a big win. In this case, the appearance frequency of the single technique 1 that is disadvantageous to the confrontation is increased, so that many effects that are lost due to the confrontation are lost.

  Further, in this embodiment, the enemy 1 is the combined technique 1 and the combined technique 2 of the character A (A ′) and the character C (C ′), the character A (A ′), the character B (B ′), and the character C (C The combined technique 2 of ') is stronger than the enemy 2, while the enemy 2 is a single technique 1 to 3, combined technique 1 of character A (A') and character B (B '), combined technique 2, character B ( B ') and character C (C') combined technique 1 and combined technique 2, character A (A '), character B (B') and character C (C ') combined technique 1 is stronger than enemy 1 If the final display result is lost, a range of random numbers corresponding to strong opponents for each technique will be set, resulting in a final loss. In some cases, the frequency of appearance of enemies that are strong against the skill that is disadvantageous to confrontation is high. As a result, there are many effects that are lost due to the confrontation, but when the final display result is a big hit, the confrontation reach determination table (character A selection, As shown in the big hit), by setting a large range of random numbers corresponding to weak enemies for each technique, the appearance frequency of weak enemies for that technique will increase, and win the confrontation There will be a lot of big wins.

  In other words, taking FIG. 7 as an example, if the level of the character A (A ′), which is the determined character, is 20 or less, the random value corresponding to the single technique 1 using only the character A (A ′). Since the range of 1 to 100, which is the entire range of random numbers to be acquired, is set as the range of, the single technique by only the character A (A ′) whose enemy to be confronted is the enemy 2 regardless of the level of other characters One confrontation reach is uniquely determined and implemented.

  In addition, when the level of the character A (A ′) that is the determined character is in the range of 21 to 50, the content of the confrontation reach changes according to the level of the other character. That is, different contents are determined depending on whether the level of the character B (B ′) is 20 or less, or 21 or more, and the level of the character C (C ′) is 20 or less, or 21 Depending on whether it is the above, different contents are determined.

  Specifically, if the level of the character A (A ′) is in the range of 21 to 50 and the levels of the character B (B ′) and the character C (C ′) are both 20 or less, in addition to the single technique 1 The single technique 2 can be determined (appears), and 1 to 74 is set as the random value range of the single technique 1, and 75 to 100 is set as the random value range corresponding to the single technique 2, so that The determination (appearance) ratio of technique 1 and single technique 2 is set to be 75:25. The enemy of single technique 2 is also the same enemy 2 as single technique 1 at the time of losing.

  Further, when the level of the character A (A ′) is in the range of 21 to 50 and the level of the character B (B ′) is 20 or less, but the level of the character C (C ′) is 21 or more, In addition to the single technique 1, the single technique 2 and the combined technique 1 of the character A (A ') and the character C (C') can be determined (appears), and the random value range of the single technique 1 is 11 to 74. By setting 75 to 100 as the range of random values corresponding to the single technique 2 and 1 to 10 as the range of random values corresponding to the combined technique 1, the single technique 1, the single technique 2 and the combined technique 1 The decision (appearance) ratio is set to 65:25:10.

  Furthermore, in the case of the combined technique 1 of the character A (A ′) and the character C (C ′), both the enemy 1 and the enemy 2 can be determined (can appear) as the types of enemies to be confronted, The random number range corresponding to the enemy 1 is set to 2 to 10, and the random number range corresponding to the enemy 2 is set to 1 so that the determination (appearance) ratio between the enemy 1 and the enemy 2 is 9: 1. With this setting, the frequency of determination (appearance) of the strong enemy 1 is high with respect to the combined technique 1 of the character A (A ′) and the character C (C ′). There are a lot of staging effects, and a rarely weak enemy 2 appears, giving the player the expectation that "I may win the confrontation and win a big win", but I lose the confrontation and lose Playability is given.

  Further, when the level of the character A (A ′) is in the range of 21 to 50 and the level of the character B (B ′) is 21 or more, but the level of the character C (C ′) is 20 or less, In addition to single technique 1, single technique 2 and combined technique 1 of character A (A ′) and character B (B ′) can be determined (can appear), and the range of random values of single technique 1 is 11 to 74. By setting 75 to 100 as the range of random values corresponding to the single technique 2 and 1 to 10 as the range of random values corresponding to the combined technique 1, the single technique 1, the single technique 2 and the combined technique 1 The decision (appearance) ratio is set to 65:25:10.

  Furthermore, in the case of the combined technique 1 of the character A (A ′) and the character B (B ′), both the enemy 1 and the enemy 2 can be determined (can appear) as the types of enemies to be confronted, The random number range corresponding to enemy 1 is set to 1 and the random number range corresponding to enemy 2 is set to 2 to 10, so that the determination (appearance) ratio between enemy 1 and enemy 2 is 1: 9. With this setting, the frequency of determination (appearance) of the strong enemy 2 with respect to the combined technique 1 of the character A (A ′) and the character B (B ′) is high. There are a lot of productions, and a rare weak enemy 1 appears, giving the player the expectation that "I may win the confrontation and win a big win", but I lose the confrontation and lose Playability is given.

  Also, in the case of the combined technique 1 of the character A (A ′) and the character C (C ′), both the enemy 1 and the enemy 2 can be determined (can appear) as the types of enemies to confront. The strength of the character A (A ′) and the character C (C ′) against the combined technique 1 is the enemy 1 and the enemy 2, and the combined technique of the character A (A ′) and the character B (B ′) described above. 2 to 10 as the range of random values corresponding to the enemy 1 strong against the combined technique 1 of the character A (A ′) and the character C (C ′). Is set as 1 and the decision (appearance) ratio of the enemy 1 and the enemy 2 is set to 9: 1, the character A (A ′) and the character C (C ′) The enemy (1) who is strong against the combined technique 1 has a high frequency of determination (appearance). There are a lot of staging effects, and a rarely weak enemy 2 appears, giving the player the expectation that "I may win the confrontation and win a big win", but I lose the confrontation and lose Playability is given.

  In addition, when the level of the character A (A ′) is in the range of 21 to 50 and the levels of the character B (B ′) and the character C (C ′) are both 21 or more, the solo is added to the single technique 1 alone. Technique 2, Character A (A ') and Character B (B') Combined Technique 1, Character A (A ') and Character C (C') Combined Technique 1, Character A (A ') and Character B (B ') And the combined technique 1 of the character C (C') can be determined (can appear), the random value range of the single technique 1 is 21 to 74, and the random value range corresponding to the single technique 2 is 75 to 94 is set as a random value range corresponding to the combined technique 1 of the character A (A ′) and the character B (B ′), and the combination of the character A (A ′) and the character C (C ′). 11-20 is set as the range of random values corresponding to technique 1. By setting 95 to 100 as a range of random values corresponding to the combined technique 1 of the character A (A ′), the character B (B ′), and the character C (C ′), the single technique 1 and the single technique 1 Technique 2, Character A (A ') and Character B (B') Combined Technique 1, Character A (A ') and Character C (C') Combined Technique 1, Character A (A ') and Character The determination (appearance) ratio between B (B ′) and the combined technique 1 of character C (C ′) is set to be 54: 20: 10: 10: 6.

  In the case of the combined technique 1 of character A (A ′), character B (B ′), and character C (C ′), as shown in FIG. Are determined (can appear), but the random value corresponding to the enemy 2 who is strong in the combined technique 1 of the character A (A ′), the character B (B ′), and the character C (C ′). The range is set to 95 to 99, and the random number range corresponding to the enemy 1 is set to 100, and the determination (appearance) ratio of the enemy 1 and the enemy 2 is set to 1: 9. The determination (appearance) frequency of the strong enemy 2 is high against the combined technique 1 of the character A (A ′), the character B (B ′), and the character C (C ′). A lot of staging will be carried out, and a rarely weak enemy 1 will appear, Also expectations that may not "a while to have the player, the game of becoming a losing defeat in the showdown has been granted.

  Further, when the level of the character A (A ′) that is the determined character is in the range of 51 to 100, the content of the confrontation reach changes according to the level of the other character. That is, different contents are determined depending on whether the level of the character B (B ′) is 20 or less, the range of 21 to 50, or the range of 51 to 100, and the character B (B ′). ) Depending on whether the level of the character C (C ′) is 20 or less, the range of 21 to 50, or the range of 51 to 100, as shown in FIG. Is determined.

  Specifically, when the level of the character A (A ′), which is the determined character, is in the range of 51 to 100, the single technique 3 with the enemy 1 as the opponent can be determined (can appear). .

  Further, when the level of the character B (B ′) is 20 or less and the level of the character C (C ′) is 20 or less, the range of random values corresponding to the single techniques 1 to 3 is stored. Thus, when single skills 1 to 3 can be determined (can appear) and the level of character C (C ′) is in the range of 21 to 50, in addition to single techniques 1 to 3, character A (A By storing the range of random values corresponding to the combined technique 1 of ') and character C (C'), the combined technique 1 of character A (A ') and character C (C') can be determined (can appear) When the level of the character C (C ′) is in the range of 51 to 100, the range of random values corresponding to the combined technique 2 of the character A (A ′) and the character C (C ′) is further determined. The character A (A ') and the character C (C') Boxing and jujitsu 2 is a determinable (can appear).

  Further, when the level of the character B (B ′) is in the range of 21 to 50 and the level of the character C (C ′) is 20 or less, the range of random values corresponding to the single techniques 1 to 3, In addition, the range of random values corresponding to the combined technique 1 of the character A (A ′) and the character B (B ′) is stored, so that the single techniques 1 to 3 and the character A (A ′) and the character B (B ′) are stored. ) Can be determined (can appear) and the level of the character C (C ′) is in the range of 21 to 50, the character A (A ′) and the character C (C ′) By storing the range of random values corresponding to the combined technique 1 of character A (A ′), character B (B ′), and character C (C ′), single techniques 1 to 3 and the character A (A ') and character B (B') combined technique 1, The combined technique 1 of Kuta A (A ′) and character C (C ′), and the combined technique 1 of character A (A ′), character B (B ′), and character C (C ′) can be determined (can appear). When the level of the character C (C ′) is in the range of 51 to 100, a random value range corresponding to the combined technique 2 of the character A (A ′) and the character C (C ′) is further stored. As a result, single techniques 1 to 3, combined technique 1 of character A (A ′) and character B (B ′), combined technique 1 of character A (A ′) and character C (C ′), character A ( A ') and character C (C') combined technique 2 and character A (A '), character B (B') and character C (C ') combined technique 1 can be determined (can appear).

  When the level of the character B (B ′) is in the range of 51 to 100 and the level of the character C (C ′) is 20 or less, the range of random values corresponding to the single techniques 1 to 3, In addition, by storing a range of random values corresponding to the combined technique 1 and combined technique 2 of the character A (A ′) and the character B (B ′), the single techniques 1 to 3 and the character A (A ′) and the character When the combined technique 1 and the combined technique 2 of B (B ′) are determined (can appear) and the level of the character C (C ′) is in the range of 21 to 50, the character A (A ′ ) And the combined technique 1 of the character C (C ′) and the range of random values corresponding to the combined technique 1 of the character A (A ′), the character B (B ′) and the character C (C ′) are stored. , Solo skills 1-3, character A (A ') and character Combined technique 1 and combined technique 2 of character B (B ′), combined technique 1 of character A (A ′) and character C (C ′), character A (A ′), character B (B ′) and character C ( When the combined technique 1 of C ′) can be determined (appears) and the level of the character C (C ′) is in the range of 51 to 100, all techniques except the premium can be determined (appearable). It is said.

  Note that “**” in FIG. 7 indicates an appropriate value of the random number value, and “** (small)” and “** (many)” correspond to the number of random numbers included. It indicates whether it is larger or smaller than the number of random numbers of other enemies.

  Further, FIG. 8 shows a confrontation reach determination table used for a big hit when the determined character is character A (A ′) and the final display result is a big hit (character A decision, big hit). Is shown.

  The confrontation reach determination table (character A determination, jackpot) of this embodiment is the same as the confrontation reach determination table (character A determination, loss) shown in FIG. However, as shown in FIG. 8, the range of random numbers stored for each technique and enemy type is different, contrary to the case of the confrontation reach determination table (when character A is determined and lost). Because the range of random values corresponding to weak enemies for each technique is set to be larger than the range of random values corresponding to strong enemies, it is more likely to win confrontation with weak enemies and win big hits. It is set to be.

  That is, when the level of the character A (A ′) is 21 to 50 and the level of the character B (B ′) is 21 or more, but the level of the character C (C ′) is 20 or less, In the confrontation reach determination table 7 (when character A is determined and lost), 1 is set as the range of random values corresponding to the enemy 1 in the combined technique 1 of the character A (A ′) and the character B (B ′). 2 to 10 are set as the range of random values corresponding to, and many enemies 2 strong against the combined technique 1 of the character A (A ′) and the character B (B ′) appear as opponents. In the confrontation reach determination table (character A determination, big hit time), 2 to 10 as the range of random values corresponding to the enemy 1 in the combined technique 1 of the character A (A ′) and the character B (B ′) Corresponds to 2 1 is set as the range of the random number values, weak enemy 2 coalescence technique 1 character A (A ') and the character B (B') is to appear much as confrontation partner.

  Similarly, when the level of the character A (A ′) is in the range of 21 to 50 and the level of the character B (B ′) and the character C (C ′) is 21 or more, the confrontation reach determination table of FIG. In (when character A is determined and lost), 2 to 10 is a random value range corresponding to the enemy 1 in the combined technique 1 of the character A (A ′) and the character C (C ′). 1 is set as a range, and a large enemy 1 appears as a confrontation opponent in the combined technique 1 of the character A (A ′) and the character C (C ′), whereas the confrontation reach determination table of FIG. In the case of character A determination (big hit), 1 is a random value range corresponding to the enemy 1 in the combined technique 1 of the character A (A ′) and the character C (C ′), and is a random value range corresponding to the enemy 2 2-10 Is a constant, weak enemy 2 coalescence technique 1 character A (A ') and the character C (C') is to appear much as confrontation partner.

  Further, when the level of the character A (A ′) is in the range of 21 to 50 and the level of the character B (B ′) and the character C (C ′) is 21 or more, the confrontation reach determination table (FIG. At the time of character A determination and losing), the random number range corresponding to the enemy 1 in the combined technique 1 of the character A (A ′), the character B (B ′), and the character C (C ′) is 100. A range of 95 to 99 is set as the corresponding random value range, and many enemies 2 strong against the combined technique 1 of character A (A ′), character B (B ′), and character C (C ′) appear as opponents. On the other hand, in the confrontation reach determination table of FIG. 8 (character A determination, big hit), the enemy 1 in the combined technique 1 of the character A (A ′), the character B (B ′), and the character C (C ′) Correspondence Random value range 95-99 and random number range 100 corresponding to enemy 2 are set, and character A (A ′), character B (B ′), and character C (C ′) are combined. Enemies 1 weak to 1 will appear as opponents.

  However, although the range of random numbers stored for each technique and enemy type is different, it appears in each level range of character A (A ′), character B (B ′), and character C (C ′). As shown in FIG. 8, the types of techniques that can be performed are the same as the confrontation reach determination table (when character A is determined and lost) in FIG.

  Further, in the confrontation reach determination table (character A determination, jackpot) of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, character A (A ′), character B (B ′), and character C (C ′). When each level value is 77, a range of 1 to 100 is set as a range of random values corresponding to premium reach by the premium character P, a big hit is determined, and character A (A ′) and character B ( When the level value of B ′) and character C (C ′) is 77, when the confrontation reach is determined, the premium reach by the premium character P is uniquely determined.

  7 and 8 show the confrontation reach determination tables when the character A (A ′) is determined (the same applies to the character B (B ′) and the character C (C ′)). In the example of the pachinko machine 1, in addition to the character A (A ′), the character B (B ′), and the character C (C ′), a premium reach by the premium character P is performed, so that the premium character P Are added as determinable characters, and when the premium character P is determined as a production target, the premium character P, the character A (A ′), the character B (B ′), and the character C (C ′) The confrontation reach determination table (character character) illustrated in FIG. Decision, which is to be determined by the time of loss).

  FIG. 9 shows the confrontation reach determination table used when the final display result is lost. The confrontation reach determination table (character A determination, when lost) in FIG. When the final display result is a big hit, as in the relationship with the confrontation reach determination table (character P decision, big hit) in FIG. 8, the confrontation reach decision table (character P decision, lost) By using a confrontation reach determination table (character P determination, jackpot) with different enemy types and random numbers stored in the same configuration, confrontation of various contents according to the level range of each character Reach is determined.

  Further, even when these premium characters P can be determined as effects, other characters A (A ′), character B (B ′), and character C (C ′) are determined as effects. Of course, since it is possible to determine these premium characters P, when either the character A (A ′), the character B (B ′), or the character C (C ′) is determined. FIG. 9 shows a confrontation reach determination table (when lost and big hit) is stored together with a confrontation reach determination table (character P determined when lost) shown in FIG. 9, and these other characters A (A ′ ), The confrontation reach determination table used when the character B (B ′) and the character C (C ′) are determined as production targets is specifically shown in FIG. The character P in the exemplified confrontation reach determination table (character P determination, when lost), and the character A (A ′), character B (B ′), or character C (C ′) determined as the production target at that time It is set as the structure which replaced either.

  Here, the confrontation reach determination table (character P determination, when lost) used in the present embodiment will be described in detail below. The confrontation reach determination table (character P determination, when lost) of the present embodiment is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, the reach contents that can be determined (appears) when the character P is determined as the production target are the character P, the character A (A ′), the character B (B ′), The matrix configuration is such that the combination of the level ranges of the character C (C ′) is the vertical axis.

  The reach contents on the horizontal axis include single techniques 1 to 3 based only on the determined character P, combined techniques 1 and 2 between the character P and the character A (A ′), and the character P and the character B (B ′). Combined techniques 1-2 with character P, combined techniques 1-2 with character P and character C (C '), combined techniques 1-2 with character P, character A (A') and character B (B '), character Combined techniques 1-2 of P, character A (A '), and character C (C'), combined techniques 1-2 of character P, character B (B '), and character C (C'), and character P The combined techniques 1 and 2 of the character A (A ′), the character B (B ′), and the character C (C ′) are set, and are the same as the confrontation reach determination table (character A determination and loss) shown in FIG. In addition, each Lee except single technique 1-3 In content (skill), each type of enemy to confront (enemy, the enemy 2) is adapted to store the random values.

  Then, according to the content of the confrontation reach that can be determined (appears) in the combination of the level ranges of each character at that time (technical type and enemy), an appropriate range of random numbers from 1 to 100 By storing a random number value, it can be determined according to the level of each character (can appear) according to the random number value (one of the range from 1 to 100) acquired when determining the content of these confrontation reach The content of one confrontation (technical type and enemy) is determined from the reach contents (technical type and enemy).

  Therefore, the random values stored for each combination of the level ranges of each character are not duplicated, and the total of the numbers are all obtained when determining the content of the confrontation reach The range is set to 100.

  In FIG. 9, the level of the character P that is the determined character does not include 1 to 20 (0 if no premium reach by the character P has occurred yet, but the premium reach is Therefore, the combination when the level of the character P is 20 or less (other than 0) is not set.

  Specifically, referring to FIG. 9 as an example, when the level of the character P, which is the determined character, is in the range of 21 to 50, the other character A (A ′), character B (B ′), character When each level of C (C ′) is 20 or less, the range of random values corresponding to single technique 1 and single technique 2 only by character P is stored, so that single technique 1 only by character P is stored. Or the confrontation reach of single technique 2 (all enemies are only enemies 2) is determined and implemented.

  Further, when the level of the character P is in the range of 21 to 50, the level of the character A (A ′) and the character B (B ′) is 20 or less, but the level of the character C (C ′) is 21 or more. In addition to the single technique 1 and the single technique 2, a range of random values corresponding to the combined technique 1 of the character P and the character C (C ′) is stored, so that the character P and the character C (C The combined technique 1 by ') can also be determined (can appear).

  Similarly, the level of character P is in the range of 21 to 50, the level of character A (A ′) and character C (C ′) is 20 or less, and the level of character B (B ′) is 21 or more. In this case, in addition to the single technique 1 and the single technique 2, a range of random values corresponding to the combined technique 1 by the character P and the character B (B ′) is stored, so that the character P and the character B ( B ') and the combined technique 1 can also be determined (appears), the level of the character P is in the range of 21 to 50, and the level of the character B (B') and the character C (C ') is 20 or less. However, when the level of the character A (A ′) is 21 or more, in addition to the single technique 1 and the single technique 2, the disturbance corresponding to the combined technique 1 by the character P and the character A (A ′). Stores a range of numbers By being coalescence technique 1 according with the character P and character A (A ') is also determinable and (possible appearance).

  Further, when the level of the character P is in the range of 21 to 50 and the level of the character A (A ′) is 20 or less, the level of the character B (B ′) and the character C (C ′) is 21 or more. In addition to the single technique 1, the single technique 2, the combined technique 1 by the character P and the character B (B ′), the combined technique 1 by the character P and the character C (C ′), the character P and the character B ( By storing a range of random values corresponding to the combined technique 1 of B ′) and character C (C ′), the combined technique of character P, character B (B ′), and character C (C ′) 1 can also be determined (can appear).

  Similarly, the level of the character P is in the range of 21 to 50, the level of the character B (B ′) is 20 or less, but the level of the character A (A ′) and the character C (C ′) is 21 or more. In this case, the character P and the character A in addition to the single technique 1, the single technique 2, the combined technique 1 by the character P and the character A (A '), and the combined technique 1 by the character P and the character C (C'). By storing the range of random values corresponding to the combined technique 1 of (A ′) and the character C (C ′), the combined of the character P, the character A (A ′) and the character C (C ′) Technique 1 can also be determined (can appear), and the level of the character P is in the range of 21 to 50 and the level of the character C (C ′) is 20 or less, but the character A (A ′) and the character B When the level of B ′) is 21 or more, the single technique 1, the single technique 2, the combined technique 1 with the character P and the character A (A ′), and the combined technique with the character P and the character B (B ′) In addition to 1, the range of random values corresponding to the combined technique 1 of the character P, the character A (A ′), and the character B (B ′) is stored, so that the character P and the character A (A ′) And the combined technique 1 by the character B (B ′) can also be determined (can appear).

  If the level of the character P is in the range of 21 to 50 and the levels of the character A (A ′), the character B (B ′), and the character C (C ′) are all 21 or more, the single technique 1 Single technique 2, union technique 1 with character P and character A (A '), union technique 1 with character P and character B (B'), union technique 1 with character P and character C (C ') In addition, by storing a range of random values corresponding to the combined technique 1 of the character P, the character A (A ′), the character B (B ′), and the character C (C ′), the character P and the character The combined technique 1 by A (A ′), character B (B ′), and character C (C ′) can also be determined (can appear).

  Even when the level of the character P that is the determined character is in the range of 51 to 100, the level of the character A (A ′) that is the determined character in FIG. 7 is in the range of 51 to 100. Similarly, the content of the confrontation reach changes according to the levels of the other characters, character A (A ′), character B (B ′), and character C (C ′). That is, different contents are determined depending on whether the level of the character A (A ′) is 20 or less, the range of 21 to 50, or the range of 51 to 100, and the character A (A ′). ), The contents differ depending on whether the level of the character B (B ′) is 20 or less, the range of 21 to 50, or the range of 51 to 100. Depending on whether the level of the character C (C ′) is 20 or less, the range of 21 to 50, or the range of 51 to 100 for each level range of the character B (B ′), as shown in FIG. In this way, for each combination of 3 × 3 × 3 = 27 levels, the reachable content (technical type and enemy) that can be determined (appears) is set to be different.

  That is, 2 × 2 × 2 = 8 combinations in which the level of the character P is 21 to 50, and 3 × 3 × 3 which is the number of level combinations in the range of 51 to 100 in the character P. = 27, and the reachable contents (technical types and enemies) that can be determined (appears) differ for each of a total of 35 combinations.

  In FIG. 9, when the level of the character P is in the range of 51 to 100, it corresponds to the levels of the other characters A (A ′), B (B ′), and C (C ′). The details of the reach contents (technique type and enemy) that can be determined (appearance) will be omitted, but the single technique 3 is always determined (appearance) when the level of the character P is in the range of 51-100. ) Possible, and when there is another character whose level is in the range of 21 to 50, it is possible to determine (appear) the combined technique 1 with the other character (multiple other characters may be used) When there is another character whose level is in the range of 51 to 100, it is possible to determine (appear) the combined technique 2 (a plurality of other characters may be used) with the other character. Random number There has been stored.

  However, since the character P does not appear unless the character A, character B, and character C reach level 77, the combinations of level 50 and below in FIG. 9 are actually character A ′, character B ′, and character C ′. This is true only when is determined.

  Further, as for the relationship between the enemy 1 and the enemy 2, the enemy 1 and the enemy 2 depending on the combination of the characters of the combined technique, like the confrontation reach determination table of FIG. In the case of the combined technique 1 and the combined technique 2 when the character combination is the same, there is a narrative setting in which the strengths of the enemy 1 and the enemy 2 are reversed. When the final display result is lost, many enemies that are strong against the skill appear. When the final display result is a big hit, many weak enemies appear against the skill. For example, the range of random values corresponding to the enemy 1 and the enemy 2 of the same combined technique is a confrontation reach determination table (character P determination, when lost) and a confrontation reach determination table (character P determination, big hit) For example, reverse It is sea urchin set.

  Next, in the password table used in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the level values (characters) of character A, character B, character C, character A ′, character B ′, character C ′, and character P are displayed. A unique password is stored in association with every combination of P (levels 1 to 19 do not exist). At the end of the game, the password that matches the level value of each character at that time is 1 As will be described later, only one is specified and displayed on the variable display device 9 to be provided to the player. As will be described later, by accepting a password, the password is stored in the password table corresponding to the accepted password. The level value of each character can be specified.

  Here, the password of “0000000” is a password corresponding to a state in which the level values of all characters are “00” which is an initial value, and hereinafter, the password is specifically referred to as an initial value password.

  The password value is composed of 8-digit numerical values each having a numerical value of 0 to 9, and these values are based on a predetermined conversion rule for indicating the combination state of the level values of each character. It is assumed that the level value of each character cannot be simply estimated from an 8-digit number. Even if an appropriate password is created and used, The combination is not easy, and it is necessary to receive the password once in the game and acquire the password.

  And the same password table as the password table shown in FIG. 10 is also stored in other pachinko machines 1 of the same model, and other pachinko machines 1 can specify the parameters of each character from the password. Also in the pachinko machine 1, the game can be carried out by taking over the parameters of each character.

  Here, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the password corresponding to the parameters of each character at that time is output, and the flow of accepting the password from the player is shown in the flowchart shown in FIG. 18, and FIGS. Based on

  As described above, the production control microcomputer 100 of the present embodiment is connected to the cross key switch board 40a provided inside the cross key operation unit 40 via the input port 106, and the cross key operation unit Based on an operation signal input from the cross key switch board 40a through the input port 106 when the player 40 is operated by the player, a predetermined screen display operation, specifically, any of the cross key operation unit 40 is selected. It is possible to monitor whether or not ten consecutive key operations have been performed.

  These screen display operations are not in effect display on the variable display device 9 and more than a predetermined time has passed since the last effect display ended on the variable display device 9 (time when the effect display is not displayed). The screen display operation is validated when the predetermined time has elapsed, and the screen display operation performed before the predetermined time elapses or in the state where the effect display is displayed on the variable display device 9 is invalidated.

  In this embodiment, the command received from the main board 31 by the production control microcomputer 100 does not include data on the number of reserved memories, so that the effect control microcomputer 100 cannot grasp the number of reserved memories. Therefore, in spite of the fact that the number of reserved memories exists, because the effect display is not performed on the variable display device 9, a password acceptance screen is displayed by the screen display operation as shown in FIG. In order to avoid such a situation, as described above, the time when the effect is not displayed is performed for a predetermined time, specifically, a period (for example, 1 second) or more in consideration of the interval between effects. Although the screen display operation is invalidated, the present invention is not limited to this, and the data received from the main board 31 is stored in the data stored in the reserved memory. Is included, and when the production control microcomputer 100 can grasp the number of reserved memories, the effect display is not displayed on the variable display device 9 and the number of reserved memories is “0”. A predetermined screen display operation may be accepted (valid).

  Then, when there is an effective screen display operation when the time during which no effect is displayed is longer than a predetermined time, the effect control microcomputer 100 (effect control CPU 101) executes the password acceptance process shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 19, a password acceptance screen is displayed on the variable display device 9 to accept the password acquired by the player in the past game, and the password corresponding to the combination of the levels of each character at that time (Current password) is displayed.

  In the password acceptance process of this embodiment, the production control microcomputer 100 (production control CPU 101) is first counting the re-display determination timer started in the step of Sp17 described later, that is, displaying the previous password acceptance screen. It is determined whether or not a predetermined time (1 minute in the present embodiment) set in the redisplay determination timer has elapsed since the end (Sp1).

  That is, in the step Sp1 of the password acceptance process of the present embodiment, it is set to the re-display determination timer that is a predetermined time from the end of display of the password acceptance screen (input screen) due to the elapse of the screen display limit time (display period). It is determined whether or not the time (1 minute) has passed, and the progress determination means of the present invention is formed by the production control microcomputer 100 that executes the step Sp1 of the password acceptance process.

  If the redisplay determination timer is not counting, that is, if one minute, which is a predetermined time, has already elapsed since the end of the previous password acceptance screen display, the process proceeds to step Sp13 and the temporary storage area of the RAM 108 is reached. Are initialized to all “0” corresponding to the initial value password, and all the digits corresponding to the initial value password are “0”. The current password that matches the combination of the levels of each character stored in the character information table at that time shown in FIG. 20A is identified from the password table, and the password is received including the identified current password. After the display of the screen is started, the process proceeds to the step of Sp4.

  That is, in the step Sp13 of the password acceptance process of the present embodiment, No in the step Sp1 (elapse determination unit), that is, on the condition that it is determined that a predetermined time has elapsed, the step of step Sp16 (memory holding unit) ) For each digit of the initial value password (initial value parameter specifying information) corresponding to the initial value of the level (parameter). The numerical value (identification information) is changed, and the initialization means of the present invention is formed by the production control microcomputer 100 that executes the step of Sp13.

  On the other hand, if the re-display determination timer is counting, that is, if one minute, which is a predetermined time, has not yet elapsed since the end of the previous password reception screen display, the process proceeds to step Sp2, and the screen display time limit is reached. Is changed from a normal setting of 60 seconds to an extended setting of 75 seconds (valid only for one screen display limit time), and each password constituting the password stored in the temporary storage area of the RAM 108 is changed. After reading the numerical value of the digit and starting the display of the password acceptance screen (see FIG. 20D) in which the numerical value of each digit has already been entered, the process proceeds to the step of Sp4.

  That is, in the step Sp2 of the password acceptance process of the present embodiment, it is set to the re-display determination timer that is a predetermined time from the end of display of the password acceptance screen (input screen) due to the elapse of the screen display limit time (display period). The screen display time limit (display period) on condition that ten consecutive operations of any key of the cross key operation unit 40, which is a predetermined screen display operation, have been received before the time (1 minute) elapses. The display period extending means in the present invention is formed by the production control microcomputer 100 that executes the step of Sp2.

  Further, in the Sp3 step of the password acceptance process performed by the production control microcomputer 100 constituting the input screen display control means of the present invention, any one of the keys of the cross key operation unit 40 which is a predetermined screen display operation is continued. Based on the acceptance of the ten operations, the numerical value (identification information) of each digit stored and held in the step of Sp16 (memory holding means) is displayed as the numerical value (identification information) of each digit already input. A password acceptance screen (input screen; FIG. 29D) is displayed.

  Even when this password acceptance screen is displayed, the current password that matches the combination of the levels of each character stored in the character information table at that time is identified from the password table, and the identified current password is the password acceptance screen. Is displayed.

  That is, in the steps Sp13 and Sp3 of the present embodiment, the level of each character (character A, A ′, B, B ′, C, C ′, P) stored in the character information table (parameter storage means). The current password, which is information that can specify (parameter) and is parameter specifying information composed of a combination of numerical values (plural identification information) of a plurality of digits, is displayed and output, and the steps of Sp13 and Sp3 are executed. The parameter control information output means of the present invention is formed by the production control microcomputer 100.

  In the password acceptance screen of this embodiment, a message “select and enter” prompting the user to select and input a password is displayed at the top of the screen, and the remaining time until the password acceptance screen is displayed. Display unit 90, password display unit 91 for sequentially displaying the numerical values of each digit constituting the selected and entered password, and selection of each numerical value from 0 to 9 that can be selected to select and input the numerical value of each digit A numeric keypad display unit 92 having an input unit, a decision selection input unit 93 that is operated after all numeric values are input to the password display unit 91, and a digit to be input in the password display unit 91 is returned to the upper digit. The combination of the return selection input unit 94 operated at the time and the level value of each character stored in the character information table (FIG. 5) at that time Currently a password display unit 95 which respond with a password stored in the password table of FIG. 10 is displayed is provided.

  Then, in the step of Sp4, the screen display time limit (in this embodiment, 60 seconds for the normal setting, 75 seconds for the extension setting) is set in the screen display time limit timer, and the timer count of the timer is started. . The remaining time by the screen display time limit timer is notified to the player who performs the input operation by sequentially updating and displaying the remaining time on the remaining time display unit 90.

  Then, by carrying out the steps of Sp5 to Sp8 cyclically, the presence / absence of numerical values of each digit (Sp5), the presence / absence of selection input of the return selection input unit 94 (Sp6), and the screen display time limit timer up (Sp6) ), And shifts to a monitoring state where the presence / absence (Sp8) of the decision selection input unit 93 is monitored.

  Then, in this monitoring state, the player operates the numerical input of the highest digit, the selection input section of each numerical value of 0 to 9 displayed on the numeric keypad display section 92, and the left and right keys of the cross key operation section 40. Then, after moving the cursor in the shape of a finger to select and highlight the cursor, when the center key is operated and the confirmation input is made, the confirmation input is detected in the step Sp5 and the step Sp9 is performed. Then, the numerical value accepted by the confirmation input, for example, “3” is stored in the temporary storage area of the RAM 108, and the accepted numerical value “3” is highlighted in the most significant digit of the password display unit 91. (See FIG. 20 (b)), the player is informed that the most significant digit has been input, and again shifts to the monitoring state of Sp5 to Sp8.

  Similarly, when the player selects and inputs the numerical value of the next digit, the selection input is detected in the step Sp5 and the above-mentioned step Sp9 is performed, so Numerical values are entered sequentially.

  That is, in the password acceptance process Sp5 of the present embodiment, the password, which is the parameter specifying information of the present invention, is accepted from the player, and the presentation control microcomputer 100 that executes the step of Sp5 of the password acceptance process performs the present. The parameter specifying information receiving means of the invention is formed.

  In addition, when the player performs a selection input of the return selection input unit 94 while the password acceptance screen is displayed, the selection input is detected in the step Sp6 in the monitoring state of Sp5 to Sp8. The process proceeds to the step of Sp14, and the input object is shifted to the upper digit of the digit that is the input target at that time. Specifically, the reverse display of the upper digit is returned to the normal display before the input, and the temporary storage area of the RAM 108 The digit return processing for updating the numerical value of the corresponding digit stored in 1 to the initial value “0” is performed. Therefore, when the player repeatedly performs the selection input of the return selection input unit 94, the input target can be returned to the highest digit by one digit. However, although not shown in FIG. 18, when the input target digit is the most significant digit and the selection input of the selection input unit 94 is further performed, the effect control microcomputer 100 displays the password acceptance screen. The display is terminated, and the password acceptance process is terminated without starting the re-display determination timer.

  If the selection input of the decision selection input unit 93 is performed on the password acceptance screen within the screen display time limit, the selection input is detected in the Sp8 step in the monitoring state of Sp5 to Sp8, and the step of Sp10 is performed. Then, after the display of the password acceptance screen is completed, the process proceeds to step Sp11 to specify the level of each character corresponding to the same password as the password stored in the temporary storage area. When the password acceptance screen for the initial value password with all digits “0” is displayed, it is not necessary to select and enter the numerical value of each digit again when it is desired to start each character level from 0. Therefore, in that case, the left and right keys and the up and down keys of the cross key operation unit 40 are operated to move the finger-shaped cursor onto the decision selection input unit 93 and select and input the decision selection input unit 93. good. That is, in order to initialize the character level, the decision selection input section 93 may be selected and input by moving the cursor.

  In addition, when a certain digit is “0” and it is desired to skip the input of the digit, the up key is operated to move the finger-shaped cursor onto the password display unit 91 and the left and right keys. Move the cursor over the digit you want to input, operate the center key on the digit you want to input and specify the digit to be input, then move the cursor to the numeric keypad display 92 by operating the down key Then, a numerical value to be input may be selected and input may be performed.

  Further, when it is desired to return the input digit, in addition to the digit return processing described above, the cursor in the shape of a finger is moved onto the password display unit 91 as described above and returned to the digit to be input with the left and right keys. It is also possible.

  Specifically, it is determined whether or not the same password as the password stored in the temporary storage area exists in the password table (see FIG. 10). If not, the received password is invalidated and the process is performed. End, that is, the process ends without changing the level of each character, and when the same password exists, the level of each character stored corresponding to the same password in the password table is read. After storing the character information table in the character information table (see FIG. 5) and updating the character information table, the process proceeds to step Sp12 and the password stored in the temporary storage area (the numerical value of each digit). ) Are reset (initialized) to the initial value “0”, and the password acceptance process is terminated.

  In other words, in the Sp11 step of the password acceptance process of the first embodiment performed by the production control microcomputer 100 that constitutes the parameter updating means of the present invention, the password (the parameter specifying information in the Sp5 step serving as the parameter specifying information receiving means). ), The level (parameter) of each character stored in the character information table (parameter storage means) is updated to the level (parameter) specified from the accepted password (parameter specifying information). ing.

  On the other hand, if the screen display time limit timer is up during the input of numerical values of these digits, or when the password acceptance screen is displayed to confirm the current password described above and no input operation is performed When the timer up of the screen display time limit timer is detected at the step of Sp7 and the process proceeds to the step of Sp15, the display of the password acceptance screen is terminated and the temporary storage area of the RAM 108 at that time is displayed. After storing the stored numerical value of each digit (“0” which is the numerical value of the input digit and the non-input digit) (Sp16), the re-display determination timer is started and the password acceptance process is started. Is terminated (Sp17).

  That is, in the step Sp16 of the password acceptance process of the present embodiment, after the display of the password acceptance screen (input screen) is completed due to the elapse of the screen display time limit (display period), the password acceptance screen (input screen). Is stored in the temporary storage area that has received an input during the display period of time, and the memory holding means of the present invention is realized by the effect control microcomputer 100 that executes the step of Sp16. Is formed.

  In the password acceptance process of the present embodiment, a password (parameter specifying information) is input based on acceptance of ten consecutive operations of any key of the cross key operation unit 40 that is a predetermined screen display operation. A password acceptance screen (input screen) is displayed, and numerical values (identification information) of each digit accepted by the cross key operation unit 40 (input operation means) are sequentially displayed on the password acceptance screen (input screen). , On the condition that the input of the selection input part of “decision” which is the completion of the input of the numerical value (identification information) of the password (parameter specifying information), or the passage of the screen display time limit (predetermined display period), Display of the password acceptance screen (input screen) is finished, and the production control microcomputer 100 executes the password acceptance processing. Therefore the input screen display control means in the present invention are formed.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 20B, when the screen display limit time of 60 seconds (75 seconds in the case of extension setting) elapses while the numerical value of each digit constituting the password is entered on the password acceptance screen. Then, the display of the password acceptance screen on the variable display device 9 is finished, and the display screen returns to the decorative symbol display result screen where the normal effect display is finished (FIG. 20 (c)).

  In this way, when the password acceptance screen is displayed while the numeric value of each digit constituting the password is entered, the player accepts the password by performing the above-mentioned screen display operation again without taking much time. The screen will be displayed again and the password will be entered again. The time from when the password acceptance screen is displayed until it is displayed again is within the specified time, that is, when the password acceptance screen is displayed. When the re-display determination timer started in the step of Sp17 is within 60 seconds (1 minute) during the timer count, it is determined as Yes in the step of Sp1, so that the steps of Sp2 and Sp3 described above are performed. As shown in Fig. 20 (d), the screen display time limit will be extended to the extended setting of 75 seconds. At the same time, the password acceptance screen is displayed in which the numerical value of each digit entered on the previously displayed password acceptance screen stored in the temporary storage area of the RAM 108 is displayed. The password input can be completed by inputting only the numerical value of the lower digit of each input digit without re-inputting the numerical value of each digit input on the screen.

  On the other hand, the time from when the password acceptance screen is displayed until it is displayed again exceeds a predetermined time, that is, 60 seconds (1 minute) set in the redisplay determination timer started at the step of Sp17. If the timer count of the re-display determination timer has ended, it is determined No in the Sp1 step, and the screen display limit time is normally set by shifting to the above-described Sp13 step. The password acceptance screen shown in FIG. 20 (e), which is the same as the password acceptance screen shown in FIG. 20 (a) in which all digits corresponding to the initial value password are “0”, is a variable display device. 9 is displayed.

  Further, when the player wants to know the password corresponding to the combination of the levels of each character at the end of the game or the like, the screen display operation is performed in a state where the screen display operation is valid as described above. Thus, the password corresponding to the combination of the levels of the characters stored in the character information table at that time is specified based on the password table by the effect control microcomputer 100 (effect control CPU 101) and the current password is displayed. Since it is displayed on part 95 as shown in Drawing 20 (a), the password corresponding to the combination of the level of each character at that time can be acquired simply.

  In this embodiment, the password (current password) corresponding to the combination of the levels of each character at that time is output by being displayed on the variable display device 9, but the present invention is not limited to this. The pachinko machine 1 has a built-in printer so that the player does not need to write down these passwords (current passwords). When it is displayed or printed out, it is highly possible that someone other than the player can perceive the password. To prevent this, a storage medium that can store the password such as a mobile phone or a card possessed by the player is used. On the other hand, password data is transmitted by contact communication or non-contact communication (wireless communication, infrared communication, etc.) and recorded. Password data can be received from the body by contact communication or non-contact communication (wireless communication, infrared communication, etc.), or password data that can be taken into these portable terminals is symbolized A bar code (one-dimensional or two-dimensional) is displayed on the variable display device 9 and a bar code reader for reading the bar code is provided, and the bar code is read by the bar code reader to specify the level (parameter). Also good. As described above, when output or acceptance is performed by contact communication or non-contact communication (wireless communication, infrared communication, etc.), other characters than the player cannot perceive the password. The parameter itself may be output or accepted.

  In the present embodiment, when it is necessary to disclose the effect display in the variable display device 9 by receiving an effect control command when a start input is made while the password acceptance screen is displayed, Sp15. Through the processing of each step of ~ Sp17, even if the screen display time limit has not elapsed, the display of the password acceptance screen is terminated, and the numerical value of each digit constituting the password accepted by the end of the display is displayed. When the memory in the temporary storage area is retained and the timer count of the redisplay determination timer is started, the password acceptance screen is redisplayed within one minute until the redisplay determination timer expires. Similar to the re-display when the screen display time limit has elapsed, the password is stored in the temporary storage area and forcibly terminated. Each digit of the number you enter in only the screen, has already entered the password accepting screen is displayed again. At this time, the re-display determination timer is not the same as when the screen display limit time has elapsed, and a longer period, for example, 2 minutes or the like may be set.

  Here, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the special symbol is variably displayed on the special symbol display 8 by the start winning, and the variable display unit 9 is linked to the variable display of the special symbol by the decorative symbol or character. The flow in which the effect display is displayed will be described below with reference to the process flow diagrams of FIGS.

  The game control microcomputer 560 starts the special symbol process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 11 by, for example, timer interruption every 2 milliseconds or the like.

  The game control microcomputer 560 first determines whether or not there is a start winning at the start winning ports 13 and 14 (S111). If there is a start winning, the process proceeds to step S112 to execute a winning process, and if there is no starting prize, the winning process is skipped.

  In the winning process of S112, as shown in FIG. 12, the reserved number of the special figure reserved memory area formed in the predetermined area in the RAM 55 (the same as the reserved number of the special symbol reserved memory display 18) is the upper limit value. It is determined whether the number is 4 or more (S201).

  If the number of holds is 4 or more, the start of the special figure game by the current winning is invalidated and the winning process is terminated. On the other hand, if the number of held is less than the upper limit of 4, the process proceeds to step S202. The random number circuit 503 is activated to extract a random value. Next, the extracted random number value is set at the head of the empty entry in the special figure reservation memory (S203).

  Next, the game control microcomputer 560 selects one of the eight processes of S100 to S107 shown in FIG. 11 based on the value of the special figure process selection flag stored in a predetermined area in the RAM 55. To do.

  First, the special symbol normal process of step S100 is a process executed when the special symbol process selection flag is the initial value “0”. In this process, the game control microcomputer 560 determines whether or not the hold information is stored in the special figure hold memory. When the hold information is stored, the hold information of the second to fourth entries is set to one entry. Each time, the random number value newly stored in the first entry is read, and the value of the special figure process selection flag is updated to “1”.

  The special symbol stop symbol setting process of step S101 is a process that is executed when the value of the special symbol process selection flag is “1” and predetermines the display result of the special symbol game. In this process, the game control microcomputer 560 determines (predetermines) the display result using the random number value held in the first entry of the special figure holding memory. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14, a big hit (not shown) stored in the RAM 55 according to the gaming state (probability change flag, time change state specified by the contents of the time reduction flag, time reduction state, etc.) at that time A determination table is selected (S301), and the random number read from the first entry in the special figure holding memory in step S100 is applied to the selected lottery table to determine whether or not it is a big hit (before the special figure game starts). (S302).

  If the determination result is a big hit, the process proceeds from step S303 to step S304, and the random number circuit 503 is activated to extract a random number value, which is applied to a determined symbol determination table in the RAM 55 (not shown) and displayed as a big hit. The result (combination of final stop symbols) is determined (S304). On the other hand, in the case of losing, the process proceeds to step S305, where random values are extracted for each symbol, applied to the confirmed symbol determination table, and the display result (determined symbol) displayed on the special symbol display 8 is determined. After that, the value of the special figure process selection flag is updated to “2” (S306).

  The variable display pattern setting process of step S102 is a process executed when the special figure process selection flag is “2”. In this process, the game control microcomputer 560 stores a variable display pattern (either normal fluctuation, normal reach, or super reach) used when a special figure game is played in a variable display pattern determination table in the RAM 55 (not shown). Select from the displayed variation display patterns.

  In this variation display pattern setting process, as shown in FIG. 15, the gaming control microcomputer 560 has a probability change flag indicating that the game control microcomputer 560 is in the probability change state or a time reduction flag indicating that the time reduction state is set in the RAM 55. In other words, it is determined whether or not the time-shortening control process for shortening the fluctuation time in the special figure game by the special figure fluctuation display is shorter than normal (S401).

  If the probability variation flag or the time reduction flag is on, the process proceeds to step S402, and one of the variable display patterns for time reduction and from which the hit or loss set in step S101 can be derived is a random number, for example. Is selected.

  On the other hand, when both the probability variation flag and the time reduction flag are in the off state, the process proceeds to step S403, and one of the normal variation display patterns that can derive the final stop symbol set in step S101 is selected. For example, by generating a random number.

  Subsequently, a count value corresponding to the total variation time assigned to the selected variation display pattern is set in the special figure variation time timer (S404).

  And the special figure game start and final stop symbols and variation display patterns (normal variation, normal reach, super reach type, but in the case of normal reach, it includes information on which normal reach of multiple normal reach) After transmitting to the effect control board 80, a change start command that constitutes a production control command that designates a control code that designates and a final stop design designation command that designates three final symbols (final stop decoration design) ( In S405, the value of the special figure process selection flag is updated to “3” (S406).

The command transmitted in S405 is received by the effect control board 80. The effect control microcomputer 100 of the effect control board 80 is used for variable display in the variable display device 9 from the information included in the received reception command by performing the effect control main process shown in FIG. The display control data is specified, and along with the time schedule defined by the display control data and the variable display pattern, the liquid crystal display that constitutes the variable display device 9 includes effect images from when the decorative design changes until it stops. An image is displayed, and each of the left, middle and right determined symbols is determined from the received final stop symbol designation command, and an effect sound corresponding to the received command is output from the speaker 27.

  Further, while the effect control board 80 is performing effect display control, the game control microcomputer 560 repeatedly executes the special symbol variation process of step S103 of FIG. This process is a process executed when the value of the special figure process selection flag is “3”. In this process, as shown in FIG. 13, the game control microcomputer 560 subtracts 1 from the count value of the special figure variation time timer (S601). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the value of the special figure variation time timer is 0, that is, whether or not the special symbol has been varied for the set variation time (S602).

  If it is determined that the special figure variation time timer = 0, it is the timing when one special figure game has just ended, so the game control microcomputer 560 proceeds to step S603 to display the special figure processing selection flag. Is set to “4” (S603).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S602 that the special figure variation time timer is not 0, the current interruption process is terminated.

  The special symbol stop setting process in step S104 of FIG. 11 is a process executed when the value of the special figure process selection flag is “4”. In this process, the game control microcomputer 560 transmits a confirmation command to the effect control board 80. Further, in synchronization with the end of the special figure game, the end of the special figure game is notified to each unit that needs to operate. Further, the game control microcomputer 560 sets (sets) the big hit flag when the final stop symbol corresponds to the win, updates the special figure processing selection flag to “5”, and corresponds to the loss. Updates the special figure process selection flag to “0”.

  When the effect control microcomputer 100 of the effect control board 80 receives the confirmation command sent in the special symbol stop setting process in step S104, the special symbol confirmation display (display to stop the variation of the decorative symbol) is executed. To do.

  The process for opening the big winning opening in step S105 in FIG. 11 is a process executed when the value of the special figure process selection flag is “5”. In this process, the game control microcomputer 560 performs a process for performing an effect before opening the opening / closing plate 20 of the special variable winning device, for example, a process such as an interval effect before the first opening or between the opening processes. I do. When it is time to open the opening / closing plate 20 of the special variable winning device, the value of the special figure process selection flag is updated to “6”.

  The special winning opening opening process in step S106 of FIG. 11 is a process executed when the value of the special figure process selection flag is “6”. In this process, the game control microcomputer 560 performs a game ball winning process to the opened special variable winning device, a process for measuring the opening time, display control via the effect control board 80, and the like. The game control microcomputer 560 updates the value of the special figure process selection flag when the number of winning balls reaches a predetermined number or when the opening time reaches a predetermined time. The game control microcomputer 560 counts the number of opening of the opening / closing plate 20 of the special variable prize-winning device for one big hit, and when the special figure processing selection flag is updated, the number of opening is reduced to, for example, 15 times. If it has reached, the special figure processing selection flag value is set to “7” because the condition for ending the big hit state is satisfied, and if the number of opening times has not reached 15, the opening / closing plate 20 is once closed and then specified. It is determined whether or not a game ball has passed into the winning area (V pocket) (whether or not there is a V winning), and if so, the special figure processing selection flag is set to “5”, and if not, “7”. . Thus, in the big hit state, as described above, the opening and closing of the special variable winning device is repeated up to 15 times.

  The jackpot ending process in step S107 of FIG. 11 is a process executed when the value of the special figure process selection flag is “7”, and the game control microcomputer 560 performs a process of ending the jackpot state. The value of the figure processing selection flag is set to “0”.

  That is, in the game control board 31 on which the game control microcomputer 560 according to the present embodiment is mounted, the display result of the decorative design that is the effect display result on the effect control board 80 and the variable display device 9 is a specific display result. The game is controlled to a big hit state, which is a specific gaming state advantageous to the player when it is a big hit symbol, and the game control board 31 constitutes the control means of the present invention.

  Hereinafter, the flow in which the effect display by each character is displayed on the variable display device 9 of the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described in detail.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing a main process executed by the effect control microcomputer 100 (specifically, the effect control CPU 101) mounted on the effect control board 80.

  The production control microcomputer 100 starts executing the main process when the power is turned on. In the main processing, first, initialization processing is performed for clearing the RAM area, setting various initial values, and initializing a timer for determining the activation control activation interval (for example, 2 ms) (S701).

  Then, the production control microcomputer 100 proceeds to a loop process for monitoring the timer interrupt flag (S702). When the timer interruption occurs, the production control microcomputer 100 sets a timer interruption flag in the timer interruption process. In the main process of this embodiment, if the timer interrupt flag is set, the effect control microcomputer 100 clears the flag (S703) and executes the command analysis process.

  In the command analysis processing of this embodiment, the effect control microcomputer 100 analyzes the effect control command received from the main board 31, and determines whether the change display pattern is normal change, normal reach, or super reach. Depending on what the symbol (final stop ornament symbol) is, a process for specifying whether it is a big hit or a loss is executed (command analysis process: S704).

  Next, the effect control microcomputer 100 executes effect control process processing shown in FIG. 17 (S705). In the effect control process, an effect content to be displayed on the variable display device 9 is determined according to an analysis result in the command analysis process, and display control for displaying the determined effect content on the variable display device 9 is executed.

  Then, the production control microcomputer 100 determines a predetermined random number, specifically, a reach pattern determination random number value in the reach pattern determination table shown in FIG. 6A or a training reach shown in FIG. Random number update processing for updating a random number value for determining a training reach in the determination table and a counter value for generating a random number value for determining the confrontation reach in each confrontation reach determination table illustrated in FIGS. Is executed (S706). Further, a notification control process for performing notification using an effect device such as the variable display device 9 is executed (S707). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S702.

  In addition, in accordance with each process shown in FIG. 16, the effect control microcomputer 100 responds to the effect control command to the received effect control command from the display control data (process table) stored in the CGROM (not shown). A corresponding variation display pattern (normal variation, normal reach) or a corresponding one corresponding to the variation display pattern of the content of the effect determined in the effect control process is read in response to the received effect control command. Then, the counter (timer) is restarted to start measuring the elapsed time from the start of fluctuation.

  The process table constituting the display control data is composed of data obtained by collecting a plurality of combinations of process timer set values, display control execution data, lamp control execution data, and production sound codes for specifying the sound output sound to be generated. Has been. In the display control execution data, each variation mode constituting the variation pattern is described.

  Then, by referring to a speed / direction table (not shown) for the fluctuation display pattern, the elapsed time after the fluctuation start is read out, and whether the image to be displayed at that time is a special symbol or an effect image, or its fluctuation direction And whether there is speed and animation display. Subsequently, with reference to the display area size data table, the number of extracted symbols with respect to the changing direction is obtained.

  Next, the symbol to be extracted (decorative symbol or effect image) is specified from the number of extracted symbols and the current variation display state. If there is no animation display, the image of the reference display mode is specified for each symbol, and if there is an animation display, the image of each display mode is specified for each symbol.

  Next, the specified decorative symbols (0 to 9) are virtually arranged in a predesignated arrangement (vertical arrangement or pre-horizontal arrangement) with a corresponding enlargement ratio and rotation angle. Note that it is not necessary to actually arrange the image data at this stage.

Next, after specifying the position of the display area on the virtually arranged image from the immediately preceding position, the moving speed, the moving direction, and the presence / absence of animation variation, the range inside the display area on the virtually arranged image (Display range) is specified based on the position and size of the display area.

  In addition, referring to the index data table (not shown), the address storing the symbol to be displayed (decorative symbol and character, and, in some cases, the effect image data) is determined from the ornament symbol and the elapsed time data specified above. And ask.

Next, the address, arrangement, enlargement / reduction ratio, transmittance (preset), clipping range, etc. of the obtained image data to be developed are specified, that is, a drawing command for specifying a display target image or / And the attribute data are generated and transmitted to the VDP 109.

  The VDP 109 extracts image data (image data stored at a specified address) specified by the instructed drawing command or attribute from image data stored in a CGROM (not shown).

  Further, the read image data is rearranged by performing enlargement / reduction / rotation / transparency processing and developed on the work memory.

  Next, the arranged image data is clipped within the notified clipping range and stored in a VRAM (not shown).

  The production control microcomputer 100 and the VDP 109 execute the above-described processing for each of the left symbol, the middle symbol, and the right symbol, and finally synthesize an image for one screen so that the variable display device 9 The synthesized image is displayed.

  The production control microcomputer 100 controls the lighting states of various lamps based on the lamp control execution data for the time set in the process timer set value, similarly to the control based on the display control execution data of the process table. By outputting the production sound code to the audio output board 70, various production patterns in the variable display device 9, specifically, normal production, normal reach, and production display corresponding to various super reach, Each ceiling lamp 28a, left frame lamp 28b, right frame lamp 28c, and decoration lamp 25 are controlled to be turned on, and an effect sound that matches the progress of the effect pattern is generated and output in the voice input / output board 70.

  Here, in the super reach generated in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the super reach of different effects is determined according to the level that is the parameter of the present invention of each character. The effect control main process shown in FIG. The effect control process processing of the present embodiment performed in step 705 will be described in detail below based on FIG.

  In the effect control process of the present embodiment, the effect control microcomputer 100 first determines whether the confirmed symbol (final stop decoration symbol) identified in the command analysis process of S704 is a big hit or a loss ( Ss1).

  If the confirmed symbol (final stop ornament symbol) is a lost symbol, the process proceeds to step Ss2, and it is determined whether or not the variable display pattern identified in the command analysis processing in step S704 is normal reach or super reach.

  If it is not normal reach or super reach, that is, if it is normal fluctuation, the process proceeds to step Ss10, and display control based on the display control data stored in the CGROM and lighting control of various lamps as described above. In addition, the effect sound control is performed by outputting the effect sound code to the audio output board 70, the effect control of the normal fluctuation is performed, and the command analysis process is specified in response to the reception of the confirmed command from the main board 31. After displaying the final symbol (final stop decoration symbol) of the loss as a display result on the variable display device 9 and performing the loss variation effect control process of adding and updating 1 to the effect display counter of the RAM 108, the level value subtraction process of Ss8 And the production control process is terminated.

  In the level value subtraction process in step Ss8 of this embodiment, as described above, does the effect display counter after the addition update in the loss variation effect control process reach a predetermined value (50 in this embodiment)? If not reached, the level value subtraction process is terminated without subtracting the level. On the other hand, if reached, the character that can be determined at that time, that is, character information In the table, among the characters having “1” stored as determinable data, level 1 which is a predetermined subtraction value is subtracted from the level value of the character having the highest level value, and the effect display counter is reset. To do.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the character having the highest level value is targeted for level value subtraction in the level value subtraction process. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and subtraction of these level values is possible. The target may be all characters that can be determined at that time, or may be selected randomly from characters that have a level value to be subtracted.

  That is, in this embodiment, the level of each character is not only increased by the training reach described later, but also after the training reach is performed and the level is improved as shown in FIG. When the effect display is performed a predetermined number of times (50 times), for example, the level of the character is lowered by subtracting level 1 so that level 55 becomes level 54. The present invention is not limited to this, and the pachinko machine 1 in which the level is not lowered by excluding the Ss8 level value subtraction process of the present embodiment may be used.

  That is, in the level value subtraction process of the present embodiment, the character for updating the level (parameter) is determined, and the level (parameter) stored in the character information table serving as the parameter storage means for the determined character is determined. The update character determination means and the parameter update means of the present invention are formed by the effect control microcomputer 100 that performs the subtraction update in accordance with the number of effect display times that become the game situation, and performs the level value subtraction process.

  On the other hand, in the determination of Ss2, when the variable display pattern specified in the command analysis process of S704 is various normal reach or super reach, the process proceeds to the step of Ss3 and the reach pattern determination process is executed.

  In the reach pattern determination process of this embodiment, if the variable display pattern specified in the command analysis process in S704 is normal reach, the process ends without determining a new reach pattern, while in S704. When the variable display pattern specified in the command analysis process is super reach, a random value for determining the reach pattern based on the counter value updated in the random number update process in S706 is obtained, that is, in FIG. One numerical value in the range of 1 to 6 stored in the reach pattern determination table shown is acquired, and the type of super reach corresponding to the acquired random number is determined as the type of super reach to be executed in the super reach To do.

  Specifically, since the final display result in the reach pattern determination table is lost, selection is performed on the data stored in the reach pattern determination table at the time of loss, and the acquired randomness is determined. If the numerical value is 5, for example, the training reach, which is the type stored in the table for determining the reach pattern at the time of loss, corresponding to the random value 5 is determined as the type of super reach to be executed and acquired. If the random number is 6, for example, the confrontation reach, which is the type stored in the reach pattern determination table at the time of loss, corresponding to the random value 6 is determined as the type of super reach to be executed. .

  As described above, in this embodiment, the reach pattern determination table used in the event of a big hit and the reach pattern determination table used in the event of a final loss are shown in FIG. If the range of random values stored in correspondence with each type is, for example, a big hit in the end, super reach B or confrontation reach is likely to appear, and it is finally lost In order to make it easier for Super Reach A to appear, it is set differently for big hits and loses, so if Super Reach B appears, it may be a big hit. You can improve your sense of expectation.

  In addition, since the type of training reach exists only in the table for determining the reach pattern at the time of losing, the training reach does not occur when it finally becomes a big hit, but when the training reach occurs (that is, As will be described later, a privilege that the level of the character used in the training reach is improved is given.

  After determining the type of super reach in this way, the process proceeds to step Ss4 to determine whether or not the type determined in the reach pattern determination process of Ss3 is training reach.

  When the type determined in the reach pattern determination process is the training reach, the process proceeds to step Ss11, and the training pattern determination process for determining the content (type) of the training to be performed in the training reach is executed.

  In the training pattern determination process of the present embodiment, the character determination process shown in FIG. 21 is performed, and the random number value for training reach determination based on the counter value updated in the random number update process of S706 is obtained. In the training reach determination table shown in FIG. 6B, one numerical value within the range of 1 to 10 stored corresponding to each training type is obtained, and the character determined in the character determination process is acquired. The training type (mental training, technical training, physical training) corresponding to the type and the acquired random number is determined as the training type to be implemented in the training reach.

  Specifically, first, a character determination process shown in FIG. 21 is executed to determine a character to be produced.

  Here, the character determination process according to the present embodiment will be described. First, the level value of the character having “1” stored in the determinable data in the character information table is specified (Sk1), and the character is determined according to the specified level value. Then, the random value range of each character that can be determined as a production target is updated (Sk2).

  In this Sk2 step, for example, if the respective characters that can be determined as the production target specified in the Sk1 step are the character A ′, the character B, and the character C and the respective levels are 30, 60, and 10, respectively, The reciprocal of the value obtained by dividing the level value of each character by the sum of the level values of each character, that is, character A ′ is 100/30 (≈3.3), character B is 100/60 (≈1.7), By updating the random value range of each character so that the character C has a ratio of 100/10 (≈10) (character A: character B: character C = 2: 1: 6), While many are determined as production targets and the level is easy to improve, characters with high levels are decided as production targets too much , Level By not improved so much, only the level of a particular character, it is preferable to avoid significantly higher. Specifically, if a character is determined using a random number value in the range of 1 to 90, 1 to 20 is set as the random value range corresponding to the character A ′, and 21 is set as the random value range corresponding to the character B. ˜30 may be assigned as 31 to 90 as a random value range corresponding to the character C.

  Then, the process proceeds to step Sk3, where a random number value for character determination based on the counter value updated in the random number update process of S706 is acquired, that is, stored in the updated character information table, for example, 1 to 90 described above. One random value is acquired from within the range, and the character corresponding to the acquired random value is determined as the effect target character (Sk4).

  If the character determined as the production target in the character determination process is, for example, the character C and the acquired training type determination random value is 7, the mental training reach corresponding to the random value 7 is applicable. Is determined as the type of training reach to be performed, and the up value for increasing the level of the character C is determined as 5 by executing the spirit training reach.

  Further, if the character determined as the production target in the character determination process is, for example, the character B ′ and the acquired random number for determining the training type is 8, the physical fitness training reach corresponding to the random value of 8 is applicable. Is determined as the type of training reach to be performed, and the up value for increasing the level of the character B ′ is determined as 7 by performing the physical strength training reach.

  In the training reach determination table of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6B, the range of random values corresponding to the training reach type is set to be different for each character type. Thus, the types of training that are likely to occur (determined) are different for character A (A ′), character B (B ′), and character C (C ′). The up value given in the easy training type is low, and the up value given in the difficult training type (determined) is set high.

  That is, the mental training reach is likely to occur (determined) in the character A (A ′), the technical training reach is likely to be determined (determined) in the character B (B ′), and the physical training reach is in the character C (C ′). Depending on the training reach that is likely to occur (determined), the lower one level or the second level (another character) is increased, whereas the character A (A In '), physical training reach is difficult (determined), character B (B') is difficult (determined) mental training reach, and technical training reach is determined (determined) in character C (C '). ) Depending on these difficult (determined) hard-to-reach reach, the high 10 level is set to an up value, and each character's personality is good and weak. Unlike line is, in the good at training, but does not improve quite level, in a weak training, has been granted narrative of improving the large level.

  In this embodiment, as described above, when a premium reach by the character P occurs as a character for training reach or confrontation reach, the character P is also added. The type of training reach is determined by each random value corresponding to the character P in the table as in the case of other characters, but the character P has very few opportunities to be determined, and as described above. In addition, since it may not be determined again, the up value given by the training reach is higher than that of other characters (up to 20 levels).

  And it progresses to the step of Ss6, and while implementing the production control (display control based on display control data, lighting control, production sound control) of the type of training reach determined in the step of Ss3 and the step of Ss11 Variable display device by executing a lose reach effect control process for adding and updating the up value according to the type of training reach that has been performed (adding and updating the up value to the level value of the character determined as the effect target in the character determination process) In FIG. 22, an effect display of the type of training reach is displayed as shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, the effect display counter of the RAM 108 is reset when the up value addition is updated in the lose reach effect control process, and 1 is added to the effect display counter of the RAM 108 when the up value is not added and updated. Updated.

  That is, in the character determination process according to the present embodiment, a character whose level (parameter) is to be updated is determined from among a plurality of characters, and the presentation control microcomputer 100 that performs the character determination process is used for the present invention. An update character determination means is formed.

  Further, in the lose reach production control process of the present embodiment, the level (parameter) stored in the character information table serving as the parameter storage means of the character determined in the character determination process serving as the update character determining means of the present invention. Is added and updated in accordance with the game situation based on the update conditions stored in the training reach determination table (update condition storage means), and the effect control microcomputer 100 executes the lose reach effect control process. The parameter updating means of the present invention is formed.

  Further, when the character determined in the character determination process is the character P and the training reach performed in the lose reach production control process is the training reach by the character P, the value is increased to the level of the character P. Is updated.

  Here, FIG. 22 shows the change of the display screen in the variable display device 9 of each training reach that appears when the character A of the present embodiment is determined in the character determination process. As shown in FIG. 22 (b), when the same decorative design (for example, 7) is displayed as a design and the character display of “reach” is displayed, the transition to super reach is performed as shown in FIG. The character A determined in the character determination process and its level value are displayed.

  If the type of training reach determined in step Ss11 is mental training reach, as shown in FIG. 22 (c), a mental training effect image in which the character A is hit by a waterfall is variably displayed. After being displayed on the device 9, the level-up screen of FIG. 22 (d) including the one level which is an up value given in the mental training reach of the character A and the level value after addition is displayed. A definite symbol that is not displayed is displayed, and an effect display in which the loss screen shown in FIG. 22 (i) is displayed is displayed.

  If the type of training reach determined in step Ss11 is the skill training reach, as shown in FIG. 22 (e), the skill training effect in which the character A shoots insects flying in the air with hand fists. After the image is displayed on the variable display device 9, the level-up screen shown in FIG. 22 (f) is displayed, which includes 5 levels, which are up-values given in the skill training reach of the character A, and the level value after addition. After that, a definite symbol (not shown) is displayed, and an effect display on which a loss screen shown in FIG. 22 (i) is displayed is displayed.

  If the type of training reach determined in step Ss11 is physical strength training reach, a physical strength training effect image in which the character A repeatedly lifts a large stone with one hand is obtained, as shown in FIG. After being displayed on the variable display device 9, after the level-up screen of FIG. 22 (h) including the 10th level which is the up value given in the physical strength training reach of the character A and the added level value is displayed. A definite symbol (not shown) is displayed, and an effect display in which a loss screen shown in FIG. 22 (i) is displayed is displayed.

  FIG. 23 shows a change in the display screen of the spiritual training reach variable display device 9 that appears when the character B of this embodiment is determined in the character determination process, as in the case of the character A. FIG. 23 (b) shows an effect indicating that the same decorative pattern (for example, 7) as the decorative patterns on both sides is first displayed and the characters “Leach” are displayed, and then the transition is made to super reach. As shown, the character B determined at that time and its level value are displayed.

  If the type of training reach determined in step Ss11 is, for example, mental training reach, as shown in FIG. 23C, the spiritual training effect image in which the character B is trained by being hit by a waterfall. Is displayed on the variable display device 9, and then the level-up screen of FIG. 23 (d) including the 10th level which is the up value given in the mental training reach of the character B and the level value after addition is displayed. Thereafter, a confirmed symbol (not shown) is displayed, and an effect display in which a loss screen shown in FIG. 23 (i) is displayed is displayed.

  Then, after the implementation of the lose reach production control process of Ss6, the process proceeds to the step of Ss7, and when the training reach is implemented by the lose reach production control process, the level after the addition of the up value given by the implementation of the practice reach It is determined whether or not the value has reached 100. If the value has not reached 100, the effect control process is terminated via the level value subtraction process of Ss8 described above, while it has reached 100. In this case, the character update effect indicating that the character that has reached 100 is changed to another character corresponding to the character is displayed on the variable display device 9 and also corresponds to another character whose character information table is changed. The determinable data is changed to “1”, and the determinable data of the character that has reached 100 is changed to “0”. After (SS13), by way of the level value subtraction process Ss8 described above and finishes the effect control process treatment.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the character A ′ that is another character of the character A, the character B ′ that is another character of the character B, and the character C ′ that is another character of the character C are all corresponding characters. By detecting that the levels of A, character B, and character C have reached the predetermined value of 100 in step Ss7 in the effect control process, the player is notified of the character change in step Ss13. While the character update effect is performed, the character information table corresponding to another character (character A ′, character B ′, character C ′) corresponding to the character (character A, character B, character C) having reached 100 Decidability data from “0 (undecidable)” to “ (Determined Yes) "to be updated in the, said another character (A ', the character B', the character C ') is a determinable.

  That is, in the step Ss13 of the production control process of this embodiment, the character determined by the character determination process (updated character determination means) is determined on the condition that the level (parameter) has reached a predetermined value of 100. Characters A ′, B ′, and C ′ that are different from the characters A, B, and C (a plurality of characters) are added in place of the characters A, B, and C whose level (parameter) has reached 100. The confrontation reach (character effect) determined by the confrontation pattern determination process (character effect determining means) based on the level (parameter) includes characters A, B, and C whose level (parameter) has reached 100 (predetermined value). Instead of the character production, the confrontation reach (characters) including the characters A ′, B ′, C ′ which are the other characters. Kuta director) is adapted to be added.

  Further, when the confrontation reach is determined in the reach pattern determination process of Ss3, it is determined No in the step of Ss4, and the determination of Yes in the step of Ss5 advances to the step of Ss12. A confrontation pattern determination process is performed for determining the content of the confrontation (enemy, skill type) performed in the confrontation reach based on the level value of each character at that time.

  In the confrontation pattern determination process of this embodiment, the confrontation pattern is determined using each confrontation reach determination table at the time of the above-described loss illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 9, and the random number update in S706 is performed. Acquire a random value for determining the confrontation reach based on the counter value updated in the processing, that is, in the confrontation reach determination table corresponding to the character determined at that time and the final display result lose One numerical value within the range of 1 to 100 stored corresponding to the skill type is acquired, and the acquired random number value for determining the confrontation pattern corresponds to the item corresponding to the level range of each character at that time The skill type and the enemy type are determined as the content of the confrontation to be executed in the confrontation reach.

  Specifically, the character determined by performing the above-described character determination process at that time is, for example, the character A, and the level of the character A at that time is 20 as shown in FIG. If the acquired random number value for determining the confrontation pattern is “71”, the confrontation pattern determining process in Ss12 will eventually result in a loss (No in Ss1). As the table, the confrontation reach determination table shown in FIG. 7 (when character A is determined and lost) is selected, and the character A level in the confrontation reach determination table (when character A is determined and lost) corresponds to “20”. In the item “≧”, the content for which the acquired random number for determining the confrontation pattern corresponds to “71” (in this case, all is a single technique 1 , I.e., alone technique 1 character A, the enemy type is what is strong enemy 2 to the sole technique 1 is determined.

  Further, the character determined by performing the character determination process is, for example, the character A, and the level of the character A at that time is 25 as shown in FIG. Is 30 and the level of the other character is 20 or less, and if the acquired random number for determination of the confrontation pattern is “9”, the confrontation reach determination table (character A determination, loss ), “21 to 50”, which corresponds to the level range of character B, and “20 ≧”, which corresponds to the level range of character C. Within the range of random values corresponding to the item, the content “9”, which is the acquired random number for determining the confrontation pattern, corresponds to the character A and the key. Coalescence technique 1 of the Rakuta B, what enemy type is the enemy 2 is determined.

  Further, the character determined by performing the character determination process is, for example, the character A ′, the level of the character A ′ at that time is, for example, 55, and the level of the character B is 75. If the level of C is 52, and the acquired random number for determination of the confrontation pattern is “91”, the character A level in the confrontation reach determination table of FIG. Random values corresponding to items "51 to 100" that correspond to the level range of character B and items "51 to 100" that correspond to the level range of character C among items "51 to 100" that are In the range, “91” that is the acquired random number value for determining the confrontation pattern, that is, character A and character B Coalescence technique 2 of the Yarakuta C, content enemy type is the enemy 2 is determined.

  Further, the character determined by performing the character determination process is, for example, the character P, and the current levels of the character P, the character A, the character B, and the character C are all 51 or more. The random number value corresponding to the random value range stored corresponding to, for example, the enemy 2 of the combined technique 1 by the character P, the character A, the character B, and the character C in the shown confrontation reach determination table (when the character P is determined and lost) Is acquired, the content that the enemy type is the enemy 2 is determined in the combined technique 1 of the character P, the character A, the character B, and the character C.

  However, the premium character P can be determined as shown in the confrontation reach determination table of FIG. 8 (character A determination, jackpot), character A (A ′), character B (B ′), and character The premium reach shown in FIG. 24 by the character P determined only when the level of C (C ′) is 77 and the display result is a big hit and the confrontation reach is selected as the super reach is executed. When premium reach by the character P is executed, the decision availability data corresponding to the character P in the character information table is updated from “0 (decision not possible)” to “1 (decision possible)”. As a result, the character P can be determined.

  That is, in the confrontation pattern determination process of the present embodiment, the character determination process is performed to determine the character that performs the character effect, and the level stored in the character information table (parameter storage means) of the determined character On the basis of (parameter), the confrontation reach (character effect) of each single technique 1 to 3 by the character is determined, and based on the parameter combination of each character stored in the character information table (parameter storage means) The character effect determining means of the present invention is formed by the effect control microcomputer 100 that determines the confrontation reach (character effect) of the combined techniques 1 and 2 by a plurality of characters and executes the confrontation pattern determination process. ing.

  Then, the process proceeds to the step of Ss6, and the lose reach production control process for performing the production control of the confrontation of the content determined in the step of Ss12 (display control, lighting control, production sound control based on the display control data) is executed. As a result, an effect display of the confrontation reach of the content determined in step Ss12 is displayed on the variable display device 9 as shown in FIG.

  In other words, the effect control board 80 and the variable display device 9 serving as the effect display means in the present embodiment implement the effect display of various confrontation reach that is the character effect determined by the confrontation pattern determination process (character effect determination means). To do.

  In addition, the character determined by performing the character determination process is the character P, and the confrontation reach determined in Ss12 is, for example, the combined technique of the character P, the character A, the character B, and the character C as described above. 1 and when the confrontation reach of the combined technique 1 by the determined character P, character A, character B, and character C is performed in the losing reach effect control process, the confrontation Therefore, the character P cannot be determined by changing the data indicating whether the character P can be determined in the character information table from “1 (determinable)” to “0 (undecidable)”. Is done.

  That is, in the lose reach production control process of Ss6 of the present embodiment, the character P (special character) can be decided as the character production character in the character decision process, that is, the decision availability data corresponding to the character P is “1”. Depending on the fact that a certain confrontation reach (combination technique by character P, character A, character B, and character C) is finally performed (a predetermined disappearance condition has been established). When the decision availability data is changed to “0 (decision not possible)”, the character P (special character) is excluded from the decision target by the character decision process (update character decision means), and the character P ( Character production including special characters) will be described later in the confrontation pattern determination process (character It is excluded from the determination target of effect determination unit).

  Here, FIG. 25 shows the case where the character A of the present embodiment is determined by the character determination process. As described above, the level of the character A is 20, and the level of the character A is 25. The change of the display screen in the variable display device 9 of each confrontation reach that appears when the level of the character B is 30 is shown.

  Although not shown in FIG. 25, as in the case of FIGS. 22 and 23, the same decorative pattern (for example, 7) is first displayed as the decorative patterns on both sides, and the character display of “reach” is displayed. As shown in FIG. 22 (b), the determined character A, its level value, and the character B used for the reach effect together with the character A After the level value is displayed, as shown in FIG. 25 (a), the display of “Confrontation!” Indicates that the display shifts to confrontation reach.

  As described above, when the level of the character A is 20, and when the single technique 1 whose enemy type is the enemy 2 is determined in the confrontation pattern determination process of Ss12, it is shown in FIG. Thus, only character A and enemy 2 (sennin) are displayed on the left and right of the display of “VS”, which indicates that these characters A and enemy 2 (sennin) are confronted, and “VS”. Disappears, an image in which the character A attacks with the single technique 1 (single hand fist) is displayed (FIG. 25C).

  The enemy 2 (sennin) defeats the character A's sole technique 1 (single hand fist), then strikes the character A and strikes back (FIG. 25 (d)), and the character A falls down due to the counterattack. After the losing image is displayed as shown in FIG. 25 (e), an effect display in which a fixed symbol (not shown) is displayed and a loss screen shown in FIG. 25 (f) is displayed.

  In addition, as described above, when the level of the character A is 25 and the level of the character B is 30, when the combined technique 1 in which the enemy type is the enemy 2 is determined in the confrontation pattern determination process of Ss12. As shown in FIG. 25 (g), the character A and the character B and the enemy 2 (sennin) are displayed on the left and right of the display of “VS”, so that the character A and the character B and the enemy 2 ( When the display of “VS” disappears, an image in which the character A and the character B simultaneously attack with the combined technique 1 (single fist) is displayed (FIG. 25). (H)).

  The enemy 2 (sennin) defeats the attack of the character A and the character B and then strikes the character A and the character B continuously to fight back (FIG. 25 (i)). An effect display in which an image that character B falls and loses is displayed as shown in FIG. 25 (j), and then a confirmed symbol (not shown) is displayed and a loss screen shown in FIG. 25 (k) is displayed. Is implemented.

  FIG. 25 illustrates only the screen when the determined character is the character A. However, as described above, even when the determined character is the character A ′, the character B (B ′) , Whether it is the character C (C ′) or the character P, the same effect display of the confrontation reach is performed.

  Also, when the process proceeds from step Ss12 to step Ss6, the level value is not increased unlike the training reach. Therefore, the determination in Ss7 is always determined as No, and the effect is obtained via the level value subtraction process in Ss8. The control process process is terminated.

  On the other hand, in the reach pattern determination process of Ss3 described above, since the variable display pattern specified in the command analysis process of S704 is normal reach, the reach pattern determination is not performed, and the supermarkets other than the training reach and the confrontation reach are determined. When the reach, that is, the super reach A or the super reach B is determined, the determination is made as No in both the determination of the step Ss4 and the determination of the step Ss5, and the determination is made by proceeding to the lose reach production control process of Ss6. Super Reach A or Super Reach B, or production control of various normal reach (display control, lighting control, production sound control based on display control data of each super reach or various normal reach), the variable display device 9 Normal reach, Sue Richi A, or with the effect display of super reach B is displayed, 1 is added updated effect display counter RAM 108. In the various normal reach, super reach A, and super reach B, a character does not appear and an effect that does not include a character effect is performed.

  Next, when the determined symbol (final stop decoration symbol) is a big hit symbol in the determination of Ss1, the process proceeds to step Ss20, and the reach pattern determination process similar to Ss3 is executed.

  In the event that this is a big hit, unlike the case of losing, it will always reach, so the determination of the presence / absence of reach is not carried out and the process proceeds to reach pattern determination processing.

  In the reach pattern determination process in Ss20, when the variable display pattern specified in the command analysis process in S704 is normal reach, the process is terminated without newly determining a reach pattern, while the command analysis in S704 is performed. When the variable display pattern specified in the process is super reach, a random value for determining the reach pattern based on the counter value updated in the random number update process in S706 is acquired, that is, the reach shown in FIG. One numerical value within the range of 1 to 6 stored in the pattern determination table is acquired, and the type of super reach corresponding to the acquired random number is determined as the type of super reach to be performed in the super reach.

  Specifically, since the final display result of the reach pattern determination table is a big hit, the selection is performed on the data stored in the reach pattern determination table at the time of the big hit, and the acquired randomness is determined. If the numerical value is 3, for example, it is a type stored in the reach pattern determination table at the time of big hit corresponding to the random value 3 and is a super reach B that is likely to appear when it finally becomes a big hit. If the acquired random number value is 6, for example, it is the type stored in the reach pattern determination table for the big hit corresponding to the random value 6 The confrontation reach is determined as the type of super reach to be implemented.

  Then, the process proceeds to the step of Ss21 to determine whether or not the super reach determined in Ss20 is a confrontation reach. If the reach is not the confrontation reach, the process proceeds to the step of Ss22 and executes the atelier reach effect control process. Then, the effect control process is terminated via the level value subtraction process of Ss8.

  In the achallee reach effect control process of this embodiment, the effect of super reach A or super reach B determined in the reach reach determination process of normal reach or Ss20 (display based on display control data of normal reach or each super reach) Control, lighting control, and production sound control), the final display result is displayed on the variable display device 9 as a final display result with the jackpot confirmed symbol (final stop decoration symbol) identified in the command analysis process (S704). The effect display of normal reach, super reach A or super reach B is displayed and 1 is added to the effect display counter of the RAM 108 and updated.

  On the other hand, if the super reach determined in the reach pattern determination process of Ss20 is a confrontation reach, the process proceeds to step Ss23, and the content of the confrontation (enemy, skill type) performed in the confrontation reach is shown for each point in time. The confrontation pattern determination process determined by the level value of the character is executed.

  In the confrontation pattern determination process in the step Ss23 of this embodiment, the confrontation pattern is determined using each confrontation reach determination table illustrated in FIG. 8 as shown in FIG. Similar to the confrontation pattern determination process, the random number value for confrontation pattern determination based on the counter value updated in the random number update process of S706 is acquired, and the character determined by executing the character determination process at that time and the final In the confrontation reach determination table corresponding to the jackpot, which is a typical display result, in the item corresponding to the level range of each character at that time, the acquired random number for confrontation pattern determination corresponds to the corresponding skill type and enemy type. Is determined as the content of the confrontation to be implemented in the confrontation reach.

  Specifically, the character determined by performing the character determination process shown in FIG. 21 is, for example, the character A, and the level of the character A at that time is 60 as shown in FIG. In addition, if the level of the character B is 55 and the level of the character C is 20 or less, and the acquired random number for determination of the confrontation pattern is “65”, the confrontation pattern determination process of Ss23 Since it is finally the case of a big hit (Yes in Ss1), the confrontation reach determination table shown in FIG. 8 (character A determination, big hit time) shown in FIG. 8 is selected as the confrontation reach determination table to be used. Among the items “51 to 100”, which are the items corresponding to the character A level in the determination table (character A determination, big hit) In the items “51 to 100” corresponding to the level range of the character B and “20 ≧” corresponding to the level range of the character C, the content corresponding to “65” which is the random number value for determining the confronting pattern, that is, In the combined technique 1 of the character A and the character B, the content that the enemy type is weaker to the combined technique 1 is determined as the enemy 1 (little monk).

  The character determined by performing the character determination process is, for example, the character A, and the level of the character A at that time is 60 as shown in FIG. Is 60, and the level of character C is 70, and if the acquired random number for determination of the confrontation pattern is “55”, the confrontation reach determination table shown in FIG. ) Of “51 to 100”, which is an item to which the character A level corresponds, and “51 to 100” to which the character B level range corresponds and “51 to 100” to which the character C level range corresponds. In the item, “55” that is the acquired random number for determining the confrontation pattern, that is, the character A and the character B Coalescence technique 1 of the Yarakuta C, content enemy type is that the weak enemy (boy) to 該合 boxing and jujitsu 1 is determined.

  If the level of the character A at that time is 77, and the level of the character B and the level of the character C are both 77, as shown in FIG. The premium reach by the character P is determined. In other words, the premium reach is a reach that is determined only when the confrontation reach is determined in the reach pattern determination process when the level of each character is 77, which is finally a big hit.

  That is, in the confrontation pattern determination process performed by the production control microcomputer 100 of the present embodiment, the character A, B, C level is 77, which is finally a big hit that satisfies a predetermined special production condition, and is super The premium reach (character effect) by the character P, which is a special character different from the plurality of characters, is determined according to the determination of the confrontation reach as the reach type, and is stored in the character information table (parameter storage means). Premium reach, which is a specific performance that is not determined except for the specific combination, is determined on the condition that the combination of the levels (parameters) of the characters is a specific combination and the level of each character is 77 ing.

In the present embodiment, the character effect of the character P determined by the establishment of a predetermined special effect condition is the same as the specific effect determined when the combination of levels (parameters) of each character is a specific combination. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and character A (A ′), character B (B ′), and character C (C ′) are determined as predetermined special performance conditions, for example. When it is possible, the confrontation reach by the character A (A ′), the character B (B ′), and the character C (C ′) that can be determined is determined, and finally the confrontation is won. In the case of a big hit, a premium reach in which a character P participates in a confrontation in addition to the character A (A ′), character B (B ′), and character C (C ′). When the level of each character becomes the same level, the specific effect is determined by the character A (A ′), the character B (B ′), and the character C (C ′) determined only at the same level (character When the combination of the reach effect (character effect) by the establishment of these special effect conditions and the level (parameter) of each character is a specific combination so that the confrontation reach by the special combined technique S (not including P) The reach effect (character effect) that is the specific effect determined may be a separate reach effect (character effect).

  And it progresses to the step of Ss22, and the ATT reach reach control which implements the confrontation reach of the contents determined in the step of Ss23 or the effect control of premium reach (display control based on display control data, lighting control, effect sound control) By executing the process, the effect display of the confrontation reach of the content determined in step Ss23 is displayed on the variable display device 9 as shown in FIG.

  That is, FIG. 26 shows the case where the character A of this embodiment is determined by the character determination process, and as described above, when the level of the character A is 60 and the level of the character B is 55, and It shows the change of the display screen in the variable display device 9 of each confrontation reach that appears when the level of the character A is 60, the level of the character B is 60 and the level of the character C is 70.

  As described above, since the level of character A is 60 and the level of character B is 55, the enemy type is enemy 1 and the combined technique 1 between character A and character B is determined in the confrontation pattern determination process of Ss23. When determined, as shown in FIG. 26 (b), the character A, the character B, and the enemy 1 (little boy) are displayed on the left and right of the display of “VS”, so that the character A and the character B are displayed. And the enemy 1 (a little boy) are confronted, and when the display of “VS” disappears, an image in which character A attacks with hand fist and character B attacks almost simultaneously with electric shock is displayed (FIG. 26 ( c)).

  Then, after an image in which the enemy 1 (a kid) cannot defeat these combined techniques 1 and falls and loses is displayed as shown in FIG. 26 (d), a confirmed symbol (not shown) is displayed. The effect display in which the big hit screen shown in FIG.

  Further, as described above, since the level of character A is 60, the level of character B is 60, and the level of character C is 70, the enemy type is enemy 1 and character A and character A in the battle pattern determination process of Ss23. When the combined technique 1 of B and the character C is determined, as shown in FIG. 26 (f), the character A, the character B, and the character C and the enemy 1 (the little monk) display “VS”. By being displayed on the left and right, it is shown that the character A, the character B, and the character C are confronted with the enemy 1 (kid), and the character A and the character B are displayed by disappearing the display of “VS”. With the fist, an image in which the character C attacks with a kick almost simultaneously is displayed (FIG. 26 (g)).

  Then, after the enemy 1 (the little kid) cannot deceive the combined technique 1 by these three characters and the image to fall and lose is displayed as shown in FIG. In addition to the display, an effect display in which the big hit screen shown in FIG. 25 (i) is displayed is performed.

  Also, when premium reach is determined in the confrontation pattern determination process of Ss23, as shown in FIG. 24 (a), first, the same decorative pattern (for example, 7) is displayed as a decorative pattern on both sides. Then, after the character display of “reach” is made, the animation image of the character P is displayed on the back of the full rotation display together with the full rotation display variably displayed in a state where the same decorative design is aligned (FIG. 24 ( b)).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 24 (c), after the confirmed symbol is displayed, as shown in FIG. 24 (d), an effect display in which a big hit screen including a message display indicating that a character has been added is displayed. At the end of the effect display, in the sat22 effect control process of Ss22, the data on whether or not the character P is determined in the character information table is updated from “0 (cannot be determined)” to “1 (can be determined)”. As a result, the character P is added as the target of the character effect.

  That is, the present invention is based on the condition that the premium reach (character effect) by the character P (special character) is determined by the confrontation pattern determining process (character effect determining means) in the step of Ss23 in the sarriage effect control process of Ss22. The character P (special character) is added to the character determined in the training pattern determination process serving as the updated character determination means, and the level (parameter) is determined in the confrontation pattern determination process serving as the character effect determination means of the present invention. ), A character effect including the character P (special character) is added to the confrontation reach.

  Next, a pachinko machine 1 ′ according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 28. The pachinko machine 1 ′ according to the second embodiment only performs the password acceptance process 2 shown in FIG. 28 in place of the password acceptance process shown in FIG. 18 according to the first embodiment. Therefore, the password accepting process 2 shown in FIG. 28, which is the characteristic part, will be described in detail, and the description of the other components that are the same as those in the first embodiment will be omitted.

  First, also in the pachinko machine 1 ′ of the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the password receiving process 2 of the second embodiment is performed by the above-described screen display operation of the player, and the password receiving screen (FIG. 20 (a)) is displayed.

  In the password acceptance processing 2 of this embodiment, first, the data in the temporary storage area of the RAM 108 is initialized to all “0” corresponding to the initial value password, and all digits corresponding to the initial value password are set. After starting the password acceptance screen shown in FIG. 20A set to “0” (Sw0), a timer of the acceptance time limit timer for measuring a predetermined acceptance time limit (30 seconds in this embodiment) Counting is started (Sw1).

  That is, in the step Sw1 of the password acceptance process 2 of the second embodiment, the acceptance time limit timer is based on acceptance of ten consecutive operations of any key of the cross key operation unit 40 that is a predetermined screen display operation. The time counting means of the present invention is formed by the production control microcomputer 100 which starts (starts) the timer count (time measurement) of the first and performs the step of Sw1.

  And it progresses to the step of Sw2, and by performing each step of Sw2-Sw5, the presence / absence of the numerical value of each digit (Sw2), the presence / absence of the selection input of the return selection input unit 94 (Sw3), the reception limit time A transition is made to a monitoring state in which the timer is up (Sw4) and the presence / absence of the decision selection input unit 93 (Sw5) is monitored.

  Then, in this monitoring state, the player operates the numerical input of the highest digit, the selection input section of each numerical value of 0 to 9 displayed on the numeric keypad display section 92, and the left and right keys of the cross key operation section 40. Then, after moving the finger-shaped cursor to select and highlight the cursor, when the center key is operated and the confirmation input is made, the confirmation input is detected in the step of Sw2, and the step of Sw9 is performed. Then, the numerical value accepted by the confirmation input, for example, “3” is stored in the temporary storage area of the RAM 108, and the accepted numerical value “3” is highlighted in the most significant digit of the password display unit 91. (See FIG. 20 (b)), after notifying the player that the most significant digit has been input, the acceptance time limit timer started in the step of Sw1 is reset (FIG. 2). (B) the remaining time returns to the display of 30 seconds), a new start of the timer count is started, the process proceeds to monitor the state of Sw2~Sw5 again (SW10). That is, the display time of the password acceptance screen is sequentially extended each time the player inputs the numerical value of each digit of the password within 30 seconds, which is the acceptance limit time.

  Similarly, when the player selects and inputs the numerical value of the next digit, the selection input is detected in the step of Sw2, and the steps of Sw9 and Sw10 described above are performed. As the numerical values of digits are sequentially input, the acceptance time limit timer is restarted.

  In other words, in the password acceptance process 2 of the second embodiment, it is a condition that the cross key operation unit 40 (input operation means) is operated, specifically, that the confirmation input is made in the step of Sw2 or Sw3. As described above, the clocking by the acceptance time limit timer (time measuring means) is reset in the steps of Sw10 and Sw11, and a restart is newly started to start the timing by the acceptance time limit timer, and the steps of Sw10 and Sw11 are performed. The production control microcomputer 100 forms the reset means of the present invention.

  Further, in Sw2 of the password acceptance process 2 of the present embodiment, the password which is the parameter specifying information of the present invention is accepted from the player, and the presentation control microcomputer 100 that performs the step of Sw2 of the password acceptance process 2 is performed. The parameter specifying information receiving means of the present invention is formed.

  In addition, when the player performs a selection input of the return selection input unit 94 while the password acceptance screen is displayed, the selection input is detected in the step of Sw3 in the monitoring state of Sw2 to Sw5. The process proceeds to the step of Sw10, and the input target is shifted to the upper digit of the digit that is the input target at that time. Specifically, the inverted display of the upper digit is returned to the normal display before the input, and the temporary storage area of the RAM 108 The digit return processing for updating the numerical value of the corresponding digit stored in 1 to the initial value “0” is performed, and the acceptance time limit timer started in the step Sw1 is restarted. Therefore, when the player repeatedly performs the selection input of the return selection input unit 94, the input target can be returned to the highest digit by one digit. However, although not shown in FIG. 28, when the selection input of the return selection input unit 94 is further performed when the digit to be input is the most significant digit, the effect control microcomputer 100 displays the password acceptance screen. The display is terminated and the password acceptance process 2 is terminated.

  In addition, when the selection input of the decision selection input unit 93 is performed during the period in which the password acceptance screen is displayed, the selection input is detected in the step of Sw5 in the monitoring state of Sw2 to Sw5, and the step of Sw6 is performed. After completing the display of the password acceptance screen, the process proceeds to step Sw7 to specify the level of each character corresponding to the same password as the password stored in the temporary storage area. When the password acceptance screen for the initial value password with all digits “0” is displayed, it is not necessary to select and enter the numerical value of each digit again when it is desired to start each character level from 0. Therefore, in this case, it is only necessary to operate the left and right keys of the cross key operation unit 40 to move the finger-shaped cursor onto the decision selection input unit 93 and select and input the decision selection input unit 93. That is, in order to initialize the character level, the decision selection input section 93 may be selected and input by moving the cursor.

  Specifically, it is determined whether or not the same password as the password stored in the temporary storage area exists in the password table (see FIG. 10). If not, the received password is invalidated and the process is performed. End, that is, the process ends without changing the level of each character, and when the same password exists, the level of each character stored corresponding to the same password in the password table is read. After the character information table is updated by storing (storing) the level value of each character in the character information table (see FIG. 5), the process proceeds to step Sw8, and the password stored in the temporary storage area (the numerical value of each digit). ) Are reset (initialized) to the initial value “0”, and the password acceptance process 2 is terminated.

  That is, in the step of Sw7 of the password acceptance process 2 of the second embodiment, the character information table (parameter storage means) stores the digit (numeric information) constituting the password (parameter specifying information) upon completion of input. The level (parameter) of each character is updated to a level (parameter) specified from the input password (parameter specifying information).

  On the other hand, during the input of numerical values of these digits (when selection input of the decision selection input section 93 is not performed) or when the password acceptance screen is displayed for confirmation of the current password, no input operation is performed. If the acceptance time limit timer has expired when not being implemented, the acceptance time limit timer is detected at step Sw4 and the process proceeds to step Sw12 to display the password acceptance screen. At the same time, the password acceptance process 2 is terminated.

  That is, in the password acceptance process 2 of the second embodiment, the password (parameter specifying information) is based on acceptance of ten consecutive operations of any key of the cross key operation unit 40 that is a predetermined screen display operation. The password acceptance screen (input screen) for inputting the password is displayed, and the numerical value (identification information) of each digit accepted by the cross key operation unit 40 (input operation means) is sequentially displayed on the password acceptance screen (input screen). Display limit time (predetermined) by the selection input of the selection input part of “decision” which is the completion of the input of the numerical value (identification information) constituting the password (parameter specific information) or by the reception time limit timer (time measuring means) The password acceptance screen (input screen) has been displayed on the condition that the time has been counted, and the password acceptance process Input screen display control means in the present invention by the effect control microcomputer 100 for implementing is formed.

  In this way, when each digit of the password is entered, the acceptance time limit timer is restarted, so that the display time of the password acceptance screen is extended sequentially, so that the input operation of each digit can be performed. In the case where there is no password, in the first embodiment, the display of the password acceptance screen does not end until the screen time limit (60 seconds or 75 seconds) of the password acceptance screen elapses. In the case where there is no password, the password acceptance screen is displayed in about 30 seconds when the acceptance time limit timer expires. On the other hand, if there is an input operation, the screen display time limit for the password acceptance screen in the first embodiment (60 seconds). Or a password acceptance screen is displayed according to the speed of the input operation of each player over a longer time than 75 seconds). In, it can be the player the possibility to complete the input of the password, remarkably improved.

  That is, according to the pachinko machine 1 ′ of the present embodiment, it is necessary that the cross key operation unit 40 (input operation means) is operated, specifically, that a confirmed input is made in the step of Sw2 or Sw3. As the time limit of the acceptance time limit timer is reset, a new time measurement is started and the password acceptance screen (input screen) will continue to be displayed. It is almost impossible to complete the input within the period, and as a result, the convenience of the player can be improved.

  Next, the pachinko machine 1 ″ according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 29. Note that the pachinko machine 1 ″ according to the third embodiment displayed the password acceptance screen for re-display by the re-display determination timer. After the number of times is counted and the counted number reaches the predetermined number, the password accepting process 3 shown in FIG. 29 is always performed as the screen display time limit obtained by extending the screen display time limit. The other components are the same as those of the first embodiment except that the password acceptance process shown in FIG. 29 is performed. The password acceptance process 3 shown in FIG. The description of the same components as Example 1 is omitted.

  First, also in the pachinko machine 1 ′ of the third embodiment, the password acceptance processing 3 of the third embodiment is performed by the above-described screen display operation of the player, and the password acceptance screen is displayed as in the first embodiment. Is done.

  In the password acceptance processing 3 of this embodiment, first, the redisplay determination timer started in the step Sp17 of the password acceptance processing 3 is counting, that is, the redisplay determination timer from the end of the previous password acceptance screen display. It is determined whether or not a predetermined time (1 minute in the present embodiment) set to elapses (Sp1).

  If the redisplay determination timer is not counting, that is, if one minute, which is a predetermined time, has already elapsed since the end of the previous password acceptance screen display, the process proceeds to step Sp13 and the temporary storage area of the RAM 108 is reached. Are initialized to all “0” corresponding to the initial value password, and all the digits corresponding to the initial value password are “0”. After starting the display of the password acceptance screen shown in FIG. 20A, the process proceeds to the step of Sp4. At this time, if the extended screen display time limit is set as the screen display time limit by the step of Sp23 described later, the extended screen display time limit is set to the screen display time limit timer. By being set, the screen display limit time is set to 75 seconds extended instead of the usual 60.

  On the other hand, if the re-display determination timer is counting, that is, if 1 minute which is a predetermined time has not yet elapsed from the end of the previous password acceptance screen display, the process proceeds to step Sp21 to re-display the password. The number of times that the acceptance screen, that is, the password acceptance screen (see FIG. 20D) in which the numerical values of the digits constituting the password stored in the temporary storage area of the RAM 108 have already been input has been displayed is counted. Therefore, 1 is added to the redisplay counter value set in the RAM 108.

  That is, in the step Sp21 of the password acceptance process 3 of the third embodiment, the re-display determination timer is set to a predetermined time from the end of the display of the password acceptance screen (input screen) due to the elapse of the screen display limit time (display period). The re-display counter value, which is the number of times that ten consecutive operations of any key of the cross key operation unit 40, which is a predetermined screen display operation, have been received before the elapse of a predetermined time (1 minute) elapses, is counted. The counter means of the present invention is formed by the production control microcomputer 100 that executes the step Sp21 of the password acceptance process 3.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the redisplay counter value after the addition update is greater than or equal to a predetermined number (5 times in the present embodiment). By performing the extension setting of the screen display time limit so that the screen display time limit set in the screen display time limit timer is 75 seconds that is an extension of the normal 60 seconds in the step of The screen display time limit after the extension setting is performed is 75 seconds, which is the extended screen display time limit.

  That is, on the condition that the redisplay counter value (number of times) counted in the step (counting means) of Sp21 has reached the predetermined number of 5 in the step of Sp23 of the password acceptance process 3 of the third embodiment. The display period extending means of the present invention is formed by the production control microcomputer 100 that extends the screen display time limit (display period) and executes the step of Sp23.

  Then, the process proceeds to the step of Sp3, the numerical value of each digit constituting the password stored in the temporary storage area of the RAM 108 is read, and the password acceptance screen in which the numerical value of each digit has already been input (FIG. 20 (d) After the display of)) is started, the process proceeds to the step of Sp4, whereby the count of the screen display time limit timer in which the screen display time limit of 75 seconds extended in the step of Sp23 is set is started.

  On the other hand, if the redisplay counter value after the addition update is not equal to or greater than the predetermined number of times, the password stored in the temporary storage area of the RAM 108 by proceeding to the step Sp3 without changing the screen display time limit. Is set to normal, by starting the display of the password acceptance screen (see FIG. 20 (d)) in which the numerical value of each digit has already been entered, and then proceeding to the step of Sp4. The count of the screen display time limit timer in which the screen display time limit of 60 seconds is set is started.

  Note that the processing in each step of Sp5 to Sp17 is the same as that of the first embodiment as shown in FIG.

  As described above, in the third embodiment, the password reception screen in which the numerical value of each digit stored in the temporary storage area of the RAM 108 has already been input by the redisplay counter, that is, the password display screen for redisplay. After the number of times displayed reaches the predetermined number, the screen display time limit for displaying the password acceptance screen will be extended, so the password acceptance screen will not be completed. The number of players who redisplay the (input screen) can be reduced.

  In the third embodiment, the number of times the password acceptance screen is re-displayed is counted (counted) by the re-display counter. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of games Counts the number of times that the user has failed to complete the input of the digits of the password on the password acceptance screen, that is, the number of times determined to be Yes in the step of Sw4. When the number reaches 5 times, the screen display limit time may be changed from 60 seconds to 75 seconds.

  As described above, according to each of the embodiments, the character by the character based on the character level (parameter) determined from among the plurality of characters (characters A, A ′, B, B ′, C, C ′, P). The confrontation reach of single techniques 1 to 3 that is the production and the confrontation reach of each combined technique 1 to 2 that is the character production by a plurality of characters based on the combination of the levels (parameters) of each character are determined and implemented. Therefore, the variety of performances by characters increases, and as a result, the interest of the game for the player can be enhanced.

  Further, according to each of the above embodiments, the password that is the parameter specifying information output when the previous game is ended is received from the player in the next game, and the level specified from the received parameter specifying information. Since (parameter) is set to the level (parameter) of each character, the player can carry out the game by taking over the level (parameter) of each character at the time of ending the previous game. Can promote games.

  Further, according to each of the embodiments, as shown in the training reach determination table of FIG. 6B, the type of training reach that becomes a different update condition for each character can be stored. ) Can be diversified, and as a result, the interest of the game for the player can be further enhanced.

  In addition, according to each of the above embodiments, the special production condition is satisfied, and finally the big hit, the levels of the characters A, B, and C are 77, and the confrontation reach is determined as the type of super reach. Since the premium reach (character production) by the character P, which is a special character, will be implemented, it is possible to avoid getting bored of the player as much as possible even when a long-term game is performed, and promote the continuation of the game be able to.

  In addition, according to each of the above embodiments, when the loss by the confrontation reach by the character P, which is a predetermined disappearance condition, is finally lost, the character effect by the character P (special character) is not performed. The rarity of the special character can be increased, the continuation of the game can be further promoted, and the interest of the game can be further enhanced.

  Further, according to each of the above embodiments, the level (the parameter reaches a predetermined value so that a character effect by another character is implemented, so even when a long-term game is performed, the player is bored. Can be avoided as much as possible, and the continuation of the game can be promoted.

  In addition, according to each of the embodiments described above, since the combination of level (parameter) of each character becomes a specific combination, premium reach which is a specific effect is implemented, so the variety of effects is further increased. As a result, the interest of the game for the player can be further enhanced.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. It is.

  For example, in each of the above embodiments, the level is used as the parameter of each character, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the type of these parameters may be determined as appropriate.

  Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, as shown in the training reach determination table of FIG. 6B, different update conditions are stored for each character so that the level update conditions for each character are different. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the update condition of the level of each character may be the same update condition.

  Further, in each of the above embodiments, the up value is added to the level of the character to be updated by determining the training reach of the character, that is, when the update is performed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the trigger for updating may be different for each character. For example, the character A (A ′) is counted by the effect display counter. The predetermined up value is added and updated when the number of effect display times reaches the predetermined number, and the character B (B ′) is added and updated with the predetermined up value when the reach number reaches the predetermined number. In C ′), a predetermined up value may be added and updated when the number of jackpots becomes a predetermined number.

  In each of the above embodiments, the character P is excluded from the level-up target by losing the confrontation reach, and is also excluded from the training reach and the contest reach target. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and after the character P can be determined once without performing the exclusion of the character P from the level-up target and the exclusion from the production target, The determination of the character P may be continuously possible.

  In each of the above embodiments, the disappearance condition of the character P is defeated by the confrontation reach. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the disappearance condition of the character P is, for example, a predetermined fluctuation display. The disappearance condition may be that superreach or a big hit does not occur before the number of times is reached, or the disappearance condition may be that the number of effect display times counted by the effect display counter reaches 1000 times.

  In each of the above embodiments, the character A ′, the character B ′, and the character C ′ different from the character P are different characters. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the character A ′ and the character B When the level of ', character C' further reaches a predetermined value of 100, the character P may be determined as another character of the character A ', character B', and character C '. In addition to the character A ′, the character B ′, and the character C ′, the character P may be determined as another character.

  In each of the above embodiments, character A ′, character B ′, and character C ′, which are separate separate characters, are provided for character A, character B, and character C, respectively, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, these different characters may be a common character, and the common different character may be a character P.

  In each of the above embodiments, when the level reaches a predetermined value of 100 and another character can be determined instead of the character that has reached 100, the level of the other character starts from 0. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a predetermined value (for example, level 30) that inherits a part of the level of the character that has reached 100 as the start level of these different characters. The start level may be set differently depending on the level of the character having reached 100 and other characters. Furthermore, the predetermined value to be taken over may be determined randomly within a predetermined level range (for example, 1 to 30).

  In each of the above embodiments, the parameters of each character are set to one level. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and these parameters are set to a plurality of levels such as a physical strength level, an intelligence level, and a patience level. It is good as a level. That is, a plurality of parameters may be set for one character. In this case, a single effect by the character is determined according to the plurality of parameters, and a character effect by a plurality of characters is determined based on a combination of a plurality of parameters of each character or a combination of specific parameters.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the password acceptance screen is displayed when ten consecutive operations of any key of the cross key operation unit 40 are performed in the state where the effect display is not performed on the variable display device 9. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any key of the cross key operation unit 40 is displayed in the state where the effect display is performed on the variable display device 9. Even when ten consecutive operations are performed, a small password acceptance screen may be displayed at a predetermined corner position of the variable display device 9 to accept the password.

  In the above embodiment, when a continuous operation of any one of the keys of the cross key operation unit 40 is performed ten times, the password acceptance screen including the current password is displayed. However, the present password may be always displayed at a predetermined corner position of the variable display device 9.

  In the second embodiment, the acceptance time limit timer is restarted in response to the acceptance of each digit on the password acceptance screen, that is, the confirmation input of each digit by the center key operation. The key operation of any one of the cross key operation units 40 such as the left and right key operations operated for inputting each digit before the central key operation which is the definite input is performed. Thus, the acceptance time limit timer may be restarted.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when the redisplay determination timer is not counting in the step of Sp1, that is, when the counting has already ended, the numerical value of each digit stored in the temporary storage area is initialized. The value is reset to a value corresponding to the value password, but the present invention is not limited to this, and is stored in the temporary storage area when the redisplay determination timer started in the step of Sp17 is counted up. In this case, a time different from the re-display determination time for resetting the temporary storage area (for example, 10 minutes) may be reset. Is set, and an individual timer is started which is started in the step of Sp17. Numerical value of each digit stored in the storage region is retained may be reset.

  In the first embodiment, when the password acceptance screen is redisplayed, the screen display time limit is extended from the normal 60 seconds to 75 seconds in the step Sp2, but the present invention is not limited to this. However, even when these password acceptance screens are redisplayed, the screen display time limit may not be extended and the normal password may be fixed as 60 seconds.

  In the first embodiment, when the re-display determination timer is counting, the screen display time limit for the password acceptance screen is extended. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the player finishes the game, the password acceptance screen is displayed, the current password is confirmed, and the password is accepted by leaving the gaming machine in the middle of the password acceptance screen display without performing any input operation. Immediately after the screen display is finished, even if another player displays the password acceptance screen in an attempt to play a game, the screen display time limit for the password acceptance screen will be extended. As a condition for extending, the redisplay determination timer is counting and the initial value “0” is stored in the temporary storage area. Value other than, i.e., on condition that the storage of some numerical by the input of the player is maintained, may be to extend the screen display time limit.

  In the first and third embodiments, the screen display time limit is normally 60 seconds, and when extended, it is 75 seconds. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and these screen display time limits (display period) ) May be set or changed as appropriate depending on the number of digits of the password.

  In the third embodiment, the redisplay counter value for extending the screen display limit time is set to 5 times. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the redisplay counter value is not limited to the password digit. It may be set or changed as appropriate depending on the number and the time limit for screen display at that time.

  Further, in the first embodiment, when the re-display determination timer is counting, the password acceptance screen is displayed in which the numerical value of the input digit that is stored in the temporary storage area is already input. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a numerical value that is uniquely stored in the temporary storage area is input regardless of whether or not the redisplay determination timer is counting the timer. It is also possible to display a password acceptance screen that has been completed. In this case, the re-display determination timer is not provided, and the time extension by the re-display determination based on the re-display determination timer is not performed.

  In each of the first embodiments, the current password is displayed on the password acceptance screen. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the current password is displayed on the password acceptance screen and a separate screen. It may be displayed.

  In each of the above embodiments, the current parameter is displayed on the password acceptance screen, the input of the parameter is accepted on the password acceptance screen, and the level of each character is updated to the level specified from the accepted parameter. Although it is possible to carry out the game by taking over the level of each character in the past game, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present parameter display and input of the parameter are accepted by these password acceptance screens. As a configuration not implemented, the level of each character may be used only for one game. In this case, the level of each character may be reset by turning off the power, or the level of each character may be reset by receiving an initialization operation from the player.

  In each of the above embodiments, a pachinko machine is illustrated as a gaming machine, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention can also be applied to a slot machine. In other words, in the slot machine, a game can be started by setting a predetermined number of bets per game (by setting a predetermined number of medals or by operating a credit button), and start in that state. When the lever is operated, a plurality of reels rotate, each reel stops according to the operation of the stop button corresponding to each reel, and a bonus or a small winning combination occurs according to the stop result, and medals are paid out. It is. In addition, the slot machine is provided with a liquid crystal display unit separately from the reel, and in response to the operation of the start lever or the stop button, the liquid crystal display unit can give a bonus or a small role winning effect, etc. Various productions are performed. When the present invention is applied to such a slot machine, an effect for updating the determined parameter (level) of the character is performed as an effect performed in response to the operation of the start lever or the stop button. What is necessary is just to perform the character effect by the said character according to the determined parameter of the character, and the character effect by the multiple characters according to the combination of the parameters of each character. Thus, the character effect of the present invention may be unrelated to the effect display for determining bonuses or jackpots in gaming machines.

  Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, when the level value subtraction process of Ss8 is performed, the training reach is performed and the level is improved, and then the effect display is performed a predetermined number of times (50 times). The level 1 is subtracted, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the level (parameter) is only increased and updated by removing the level value subtraction process of Ss8. Anyway.

  Further, the background of the variable display device 9 and the music output from the speaker 27 by the audio output board 70 may be changed according to the determined character.

  In the above embodiment, the content of the confrontation reach is made different depending on the determined character level (parameter) and the combination of the levels of each character. However, the effect display of the present invention is limited to this. For example, the notice effect performed before the reach effect may be determined according to the level of the determined character or the combination of the levels of each character.

  Further, in each of the above embodiments, the reach pattern determination table is set so that the training reach is determined only when the loss finally occurs. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the reach is determined. By storing the training reach and a random value corresponding to the training reach in the data for the big hit in the pattern determination table, the training reach may be determined even in the event of a big hit. .

  In each of the above embodiments, confrontation reach is illustrated as a character effect that varies depending on the level. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the character level determined in the character determination process is not limited thereto. (Parameters) and character effects performed according to the combination of the levels (parameters) of each character. For example, character A has a driving capability of a land transport aircraft, and character B has a driving capability of a marine transport aircraft. When the driving ability of an air transport aircraft is set as a parameter for the character C, and the determined driving capability of the character is improved, a single transport aircraft is used to reach a more remote location within a predetermined area. If you can create a travel experience and improve the driving ability of multiple characters, you can use multiple transport aircraft to reach a remote location beyond a predetermined area. The journey production, such as can reach may be carried out.

  Further, in the third embodiment, after the extension setting of the screen display time limit is made in the step of Sp23, the extension setting is continuously enabled. However, the present invention is not limited to this. However, these extension settings are effective only on that day, for example, by resetting the extension settings when the power is turned off at the end of business and returning to the normal settings, or returning to the normal settings by a predetermined reset operation. May be.

  In each of the above embodiments, the numerical value of each digit displayed on the password display unit 91 of the password acceptance screen is stored in the temporary storage area of the RAM 108. Usually, the initial value of the parameter is stored in the temporary storage area. “0” is stored for all the digits that are the initial value password corresponding to. When the player performs an input operation on the password acceptance screen and inputs a numerical value of each digit, the numerical value stored in the temporary storage area is updated to the input numerical value, and the temporary storage area even when the display period has elapsed When the password acceptance screen is displayed again by storing and holding the numerical value stored in the memory as it is, the password acceptance screen in which the stored and stored numerical value has already been input is displayed. The invention is not limited to this, for example, when a temporary storage holding area for storing and holding a numerical value input separately from the temporary storage area is provided, and the display of the password acceptance screen is terminated after the display period has elapsed In addition, the numerical value of each digit input during display of the password acceptance screen is moved from the temporary storage area to the temporary storage holding area and stored and held, During storage area may be reset.

  In each of the above embodiments, the identification information constituting the password, which is the parameter specifying information in the present invention, is a number, but the present invention is not limited to this, and these identification information can be individually identified. For example, alphabets and symbols may be used.

  In each of the above embodiments, the character determination process for determining the target character for updating the parameter level is the same as the character determination process for determining the target of the confrontation reach as the character effect based on the parameter level. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and an individual character determination process that determines these character determinations using different determination methods may be used. For example, in the training reach, each character is determined with the same probability. In the confrontation reach, if the final display result is a loss, the determination probability of the low-level character is increased. If the display result is a big hit, the determination probability of a high-level character may be increased.

  Further, in each of the above embodiments, in the character determination process shown in FIG. 21, by changing and setting the random value range according to the level value of each character at the time of performing the character determination process, only the level of a specific character is set. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is determined at that time without changing and setting the random value range according to these level values. Each possible character may be equally determined in the same random value range, or the random value range of the special character P may be smaller than the random value range of other characters, Only the probability that the character P is determined may be low, and the character effect of the character P may be made scarce.

  Further, in each of the above embodiments, the determination result data in the character information table of the character P (special character) is updated to “1”, so that the character P is added to both the single technique and the combined technique of the confrontation reach. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the character P may be added to only one of the single technique and the combined technique.

  Further, in each of the embodiments, in the training pattern determination process (Ss11) in the effect control process shown in FIG. 17, first, an effect target character (a character that updates the parameter level value) is determined by the character determination process. Thereafter, the type of training reach (update value of the level value) is determined based on the training reach determination table. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the spirit of the character A (A ′) is determined. Training Reach, Skill Training Reach and Physical Fitness Training Reach, Character B (B ') Mental Training Reach, Skill Training Reach and Physical Fitness Training Reach, Character C (C') Mental Training Reach, Skill Training Reach and Physical Fitness Training Reach, and Random numbers in different ranges for character P's mental training reach, skill training reach, and physical strength training reach By using the training reach determination table to which is assigned, the character whose level value is updated according to the acquired random value and the type of training reach (level value update) may be determined at a time. .

  In each of the above embodiments, the character to be subjected to training reach is determined first, and then the type of training reach (update value of the level value) is determined. However, the present invention is limited to this. On the contrary, the type of training reach (update value of the level value) is determined first, and then the character (character for updating the level value) that is the target of the determined training reach is determined. Also good.

  Further, in each of the above embodiments, in the confrontation pattern determination process (Ss12) in the effect control process shown in FIG. 17, first, the character that performs the confrontation effect (character effect) is determined by the character determination process, and then the determination is made. The confrontation reach determination table corresponding to the selected character is used to determine any one of the single skills 1 to 3 that are the character effects by the character based on the level of the character, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the single skill effect may be determined using a single skill effect determination table provided for each combination of level values of each character. Specifically, the level value of each character is divided into three levels of 20 or less, 21 to 50, and 51 to 100, the single skill effect determination table corresponding to the level values of all characters of 20 or less, the levels of all characters Single skill effect determination table corresponding to values 21 to 50, character A (A ′) level 21 to 50, and other character levels corresponding to 20 or less, single skill effect determination table, character B (B ′) level is 21 to 50, and the other character level is a table for single skill effect determination corresponding to 20 or less, and the level of character C (C ′) is 21 to 50. The table for single skill effect determination corresponding to the level of the character of 20 or less, the level of the character A (A ′) is 51 to 100, and other characters A single skill effect determination table corresponding to a level of 20 or less, a character B (B ′) level of 51 to 100, and a single skill effect determination table corresponding to a level of other characters of 20 or less, a character C (C ′) level is 51 to 100, and the other character level is a table for single skill effect determination corresponding to 20 or less, and the character A (A ′) level is 51 to 100. Single skill effect determination table corresponding to the level of the character of 21 to 50, determination of the single skill effect corresponding to the level of the character B (B ′) is 51 to 100 and the levels of the other characters are 21 to 50 Table, character C (C ') level is 51 to 100, and other character levels are 21 to 50. A table for determining a single skill effect corresponding to a level of 21 to 50 for a character A (A ′) and a character B (B ′) and a level of a character C (C ′) 20 or less, a character A (A ′) and character C (C ′) are levels 21 to 50, and character B (B ′) is a single skill effect determination table corresponding to 20 or less, character B (B ′) and character The level of C (C ′) is 21-50, the character A (A ′) level is 20 or below, and the level of the character A (A ′) is 51-100. The character B (B ′) level is 21 to 50, the character C (C ′) level is 20 or less, the single skill effect determination table, and the character A (A ′) level is 51 to 100. The character C (C ′) level is 21 to 50, the character B (B ′) level is 20 or less, and the level of the character B (B ′) is 51 to 51. 100, the character A (A ′) level is 21 to 50, the character C (C ′) level is 20 or less, and the level of the character B (B ′) is 51. To 100, the character C (C ′) level is 21 to 50, and the level of the character A (A ′) corresponding to the level of the character A (A ′) 20 or less, the level of the character C (C ′) is 51 to 100, the character A (A ′) level is 21 to 50, and the character B (B ′) level is 20 or less. A single skill effect determination table corresponding to a level of 51 to 100, a character B (B ′) level of 21 to 50, and a character A (A ′) level of 20 or less, and a character A (A ′) And the character B (B ′) level of 51 to 100, and the character C (C ′) level corresponding to the level of 20 or less, the character A (A ′) and the character C (C ′) ) Level of 51 to 100, and the level of character B (B ′) corresponding to the level of 20 or less, the level of character B (B ′) and character C (C ′) is 51 to 100, the level of character A (A ') and the level of character A (A') and character B (B ') are 51 to 100, and the level of character A (A') is 20 or less. A single skill effect determination table corresponding to the level of characters C (C ′) 21 to 50, the levels of characters A (A ′) and C (C ′) are 51 to 100, and character B (B ') The single skill effect determination table corresponding to levels 21 to 50, the levels of character B (B') and character C (C ') are 51 to 100, and the level of character A (A') is A total of 27 single skill effect determination tables are provided, such as a single skill effect determination table corresponding to 21 to 50 and a single skill effect determination table corresponding to all character level values 51 to 100. In each table of single skill production determination, the single techniques 1 to 3 of the character A (A ′), the single techniques 1 to 3 of the character B (B ′), and the single techniques 1 to 3 of the character C (C ′) are displayed. each Correspondingly, different ranges of random numbers are assigned. More specifically, the random value allocation is the same as the confrontation reach determination table shown in FIG. 7. If the level value is 20 or less, the random value is not allocated to the single technique 2 and single technique 3 of the character, and the level value is If it is 21 to 50, no random value is assigned to the solo technique 3 of the character. A table corresponding to the combination of levels of each character at that time is first selected, and a confrontation effect (character effect) is performed based on the table corresponding to the combination of the acquired random number value and the level of each selected character. You may make it determine the character to perform and the kind of confrontation production by this character at once. Also in this case, since a table corresponding to the determined level value of the character is selected in advance, a single effect corresponding to the level of the character is determined.

  That is, in the present invention, when determining the character effect (single skill effect) by one character, the character that performs the character effect is determined from the plurality of characters, and based on the parameter (level value) of the character. It is only necessary to determine the character presentation (type) of the character, and the determination timing of the character and the determination timing of the character presentation by the character may be different at the same time. There may be.

  Further, in each of the above embodiments, it is determined by using the confrontation reach determination table illustrated in FIG. 7 whether to make a single skill effect or a combined skill effect, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, for example, it is first determined whether or not a combined technique effect is possible based on the level (parameter) of each character (specifically, it is determined that there are two or more characters having a level value of 21 or more). If possible, it is determined whether to use the single technique effect or the combined technique effect, and when the single technique effect is determined, the character that performs the determined single technique effect is determined by the character determination process. good. As for the combined technique production, the combined technique by the character A (A ′) and the character B (B ′), the combined technique by the character A (A ′) and the character C (C ′), the character B (B ′) and the character FIG. 7 illustrates random values in different ranges for the combined technique by C (C ′) and the combined technique by character A (A ′), character B (B ′), and character C (C ′). Similarly to the confrontation reach determination table, the combined technique effect may be determined using the combined technique effect determination table allocated according to the combination of the level values of the respective characters.

  In addition, the present invention aims to improve the variety of character effects according to the parameters set for the character, thereby enhancing the interest of the game for the player. The second problem can also be solved.

  That is, the gaming machine of Patent Document 1 described above is a gaming machine that performs an effect by a character according to a parameter, a character parameter stored in advance is set, and the parameter is changed according to the gaming situation, The character presentation according to the parameters is performed, and the input information display dedicated screen is displayed by performing a predetermined display operation to accept a personal identification number that can specify the parameters, and the input information display dedicated screen By setting the parameter specified from the personal identification number received in step 1 as the character parameter, the game can be resumed by taking over the character parameter of the game executed in the past.

  However, in the case where the input information display dedicated screen is displayed and the password is accepted as in Patent Document 1, if the input information display dedicated screen is continuously displayed unless the input completion operation is performed, the input information display dedicated screen is displayed. If the player ends the game while the screen is displayed, the operation of the gaming machine may decrease due to the misunderstanding of another player who is occupied with the gaming machine, In order to solve this problem, if the display of the input information display dedicated screen is terminated when a predetermined display period has elapsed, the input information display dedicated screen is displayed for a player who is unfamiliar with the password input operation. If you cannot complete the input of all PINs within the displayed period, you must display the input information display screen again and re-enter the PIN from the beginning. Razz, there is a problem that lacks the convenience of the player.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made paying attention to such problems, and can prevent a decrease in the operation of the gaming machine and improve convenience when a player unfamiliar with the input operation performs input. The second purpose is to provide a gaming machine that can be used.

According to this feature, the display period is extended depending on the occurrence of the situation where the display of the input screen ends or redisplays after the end of the display period. The number of players to be redisplayed can be reduced. That is, it is possible to set an appropriate display period according to the customer base of the game hall (for example, a high proportion of elderly people unaccustomed to input operations).

In addition, the gaming machine of the present invention displays an effect display including a character effect by a character (characters A, A ′, B, B ′, C, C ′, P) when a predetermined effect start condition is satisfied (effective start prize). Production display means (production control board 80, variable display device 9) implemented according to
Parameter storage means (RAM 108, character information table) for storing parameters (levels) set for the character;
Parameter update means (production control microcomputer 100) for updating the parameters stored in the parameter storage means in accordance with the game situation;
Parameter specification information output means (effect control) that is capable of specifying parameters stored in the parameter storage means and outputs parameter specification information (password) consisting of a combination of a plurality of identification information (numerical values of each digit) Microcomputer 100; password acceptance process 2, Sw0),
Input operation means (cross key operation unit 40) for accepting an operation for inputting each identification information constituting the parameter specifying information from the player;
Clocking means (production control microcomputer 100; password acceptance processing 2, Sw1) for starting timing based on acceptance of a predetermined screen display operation (selection input of the “password” selection input portion on the menu selection screen);
On the basis of acceptance of the predetermined screen display operation, an input screen for inputting the parameter specifying information is displayed, and identification information received by the input operation means is sequentially displayed on the input screen, and the parameter Input screen display control means (production control microcomputer 100; password acceptance processing) that terminates the display of the input screen on condition that the input of the identification information constituting the specific information is completed or a predetermined time is counted by the time measuring means 2) and
With
The parameter updating means (production control microcomputer 100), based on the completion of input of identification information constituting the parameter specifying information, determines the parameter stored in the parameter storage means from the input complete parameter specifying information. Update to the identified parameters,
The effect display means is a gaming machine (pachinko machine 1 ′) that performs a character effect (confrontation reach) according to the parameter (level) stored in the parameter storage means,
On condition that the input operation means (cross key operation unit 40) has been operated, resetting means (reproduction control microcomputer 100; password accepting process 2, resetting the timekeeping by the timekeeping means and newly starting the timekeeping, Sw10)
It is characterized by having.
According to this feature, it is possible to prevent the operation of the gaming machine from being lowered, reset the timing on the condition that the input operation means is operated, start a new timing, and continue to display the input screen. Therefore, even a player who is unfamiliar with the input operation can hardly complete the input within the display period, and as a result, the convenience of the player can be improved.

Further, in the gaming machine of the present invention, the effect display means (the effect control board 80, the variable display device 9) has the parameter set to a predetermined value on condition that the parameter (level) reaches a predetermined value (100). Instead of the characters (characters A, B, and C) that have reached the character, character effects (training reach, confrontation reach) of different characters (characters A ′, B ′, and C ′) different from the character are performed.
According to this feature, when the parameter reaches a predetermined value, a character effect by another character is implemented, so that even when a long-term game is performed, it is possible to avoid getting the player bored as much as possible, The continuation of the game can be promoted.

In the gaming machine of the present invention, there are a plurality of characters (characters A, A ′, B, B ′, C, C ′, P), and parameters (levels) set for each of the plurality of characters. Update condition storage means (data ROM 107; training reach determination table) for storing update conditions for updating each character
The parameter update means (production control microcomputer 100) is configured to set the parameters of each character stored in the parameter storage means (RAM 108, character information table) based on the update conditions stored in the update condition storage means. It is characterized by updating.
According to this feature, since different update conditions can be stored for each character, the change mode of parameters can be diversified, and the variety of character effects determined by the combination of these parameters can be further increased. As a result, the interest of the game for the player can be further enhanced.
