Description

  The present invention relates to a ball game machine such as a pachinko machine or an arrangement ball machine.

  For example, in a ball game machine such as a pachinko machine, when the symbol starting means detects a game ball, variable memory information such as a jackpot determination random number value is obtained from the random number generating means and a predetermined upper limit number (for example, four) is obtained. The information is stored in the information storage means as a limit, and each time the symbol display means is in a variable state, the variable storage information is sequentially extracted from the information storage means, and the jackpot determination random number value of the variable storage information is determined in advance. It is determined whether or not the values match, and if they match, the symbol change is performed by the symbol display means so as to stop in the losing mode if they do not match. It is configured so that a player can enjoy a great profit by generating a jackpot state such as opening the winning means.

  Further, for example, in Patent Document 1, whether or not the jackpot determination random number value matches the jackpot determination value is determined in advance when the jackpot determination random value is acquired, that is, when the symbol starting means detects the game ball. A pachinko machine is proposed that is configured to perform a notice effect based on the determination result.

  As a notice effect based on the prior determination of such a random number, in order to indicate to the player that there is a high possibility that the specific reserved memory is a jackpot determination random number value that matches the jackpot determination value, the symbol corresponding to the reserved memory It is conceivable to generate a continuous notice state over a plurality of fluctuations up to the fluctuation, and to execute a predetermined continuous notice effect at the time of each symbol change during this continuous notice state.

  A game board 11 shown in FIG. 2 is detachably mounted on the back side of the glass door 4. On the front side of the game board 11, a guide rail 12 for guiding a game ball launched from the launching means is annularly mounted, and a center case 14, a normal symbol start is provided in a game area 13 inside the guide rail 12. Various game parts such as means 15, special symbol starting means (symbol starting means) 16, big winning means 17, and normal winning means 18 are arranged.

  The center case 14 is provided with a normal symbol display means 22, a special symbol display means (game symbol display means) 23, a normal reserved number display means 24, etc., in addition to an image display device 21 such as a liquid crystal display. The image display device 21 constitutes an effect symbol display means 25, a special reserved number display means 26, a notice effect display means 30, and the like.

  The normal symbol display means 22 is for variably displaying the normal symbol, and is composed of, for example, two light emitters (for example, LEDs) corresponding to two types of normal symbols “O” and “X”. On condition that the normal symbol starting means 15 comprising a gate or the like detects a game ball, the two light emitters blink alternately for a predetermined time, and the hit determination random number value acquired when the normal symbol starting means 15 detects the game ball In the state where the “◯” side illuminant corresponding to the hit mode emits light when it matches the predetermined hit determination value, and the “×” side illuminant corresponding to the off mode otherwise The flashing stops when is emitted.

  Further, when the normal symbol starting means 15 detects a game ball during the fluctuation display of the normal symbol display means 22 or the hit state described later, the hit determination random number value acquired at the time of the detection is a predetermined upper limit. The number of reserved numbers, for example, four, is stored as a limit, and the number of stored normal number-of-holds display means 24 made of the same number of light emitters as the upper limit number of reserved numbers, for example, stores the number of random numbers to be determined by the number of light emission (hereinafter referred to as the normal number of reserved values). ) Is displayed to inform the player of the number of normally reserved items at that time.

  The special symbol starting means 16 is for starting the symbol variation by the special symbol display means 23, and comprises two upper and lower special starting ports 27a, 27b and an opening / closing means 28 for opening and closing the lower special starting port 27b. Arranged below the center case 14.

  The upper special start port 27a is a non-actuated winning port that does not have an opening / closing means or the like. The lower special start opening 27b is an actuated winning opening that can be switched between an open state in which a game ball can win a prize and a closed state in which a prize cannot be won by the opening / closing means 28. When the hit state occurs in the form, the opening / closing means 28 is configured to change from the closed state to the open state for a predetermined time and a predetermined number of times.

  The special symbol display means 23 is composed of one or a plurality of, for example, one special symbol (game symbol) which can be displayed in a variable manner, such as a 7-segment display, and the special symbol starter 16 receives a game ball. Detected, that is, a special symbol is variably displayed for a predetermined time on the condition that a game ball wins at one of the two upper and lower special start openings 27a and 27b, and is acquired when winning the special start openings 27a and 27b. When the jackpot determination random number value matches a predetermined jackpot determination value, it stops in a predetermined jackpot mode, and in other cases it stops in a losing mode.

  For example, the special symbol is provided with, for example, a plurality of types of jackpots and disengages. Each of these aspects may be assigned a numerical symbol or the like, and has no special meaning such as a combination of arbitrary lines and points so that the player cannot easily distinguish the type of the special symbol. You may assign a symbol.

  In addition, when a game ball wins a special start opening 27a, 27b during a special symbol variation display or a jackpot state, which will be described later, the jackpot determination random number value obtained at the time of the winning is a predetermined upper limit holding number. , For example, each of the four is stored as a limit, and the special reserved number display means 26 displays the stored number of jackpot determination random number values (hereinafter referred to as special reserved number), and the special reserved number at that time is displayed as a player. To inform you.

  The effect symbol display means 25 variably displays the effect symbols in parallel with, for example, the special symbol change display by the special symbol display means 23. For example, the effect symbol display means 25 displays one or more, for example, three effect symbols in the left-right direction. The display image 21a of the image display device 21 can be variably displayed together with the effect image of the image, and when the special symbol starting means 16 detects the game ball, that is, the game is placed in one of the two upper and lower special starting ports 27a and 27b. On the condition that the ball wins the prize, the design of the effect is changed to the left, right, middle, etc. Are stopped in a predetermined order.

  For example, 10 kinds of numerical symbols from “0” to “9” are used for the production symbol, and all three symbols, such as “6, 6, 6” and “7, 7, 7”, are all in the same pattern. Is a big hit mode, and at least one pattern is different. In the present embodiment, when the special symbol is a jackpot mode, the effect symbol is also a jackpot mode, and when the special symbol is a miss mode, the effect symbol is also a miss mode.

  The variation pattern of the production pattern is roughly divided into a reach-less out-of-reach variation pattern that becomes a disengagement state without passing through a reach state, a reach-out variation pattern that becomes a disengagement state through a reach state, and a big hit via a reach state There is a reach jackpot variation pattern (hereinafter referred to as a major classification variation pattern) as an aspect, and in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. It is assumed that nine types of jackpot / offset fluctuation pattern, super reach 1 big hit / outgoing fluctuation pattern, super reach 2 big hit / offset fluctuation pattern, and super reach 3 big hit / outset fluctuation pattern are prepared.

  Each of these major classification variation patterns is divided into one or a plurality of types of minor classification variation patterns. In the present embodiment, for example, four types of small classification variation patterns P1 to P4 are provided for a reachless deviation variation pattern that is one of the large classification variation patterns, as shown in FIG. Note that the fluctuation times of these non-reach fluctuation patterns P1 to P4 are set to 2, 5, 8, and 11 seconds, respectively, and the fluctuation times of the other reach deviation fluctuation patterns and the reach jackpot fluctuation pattern are all non-reach fluctuations. It is assumed that it is longer than the pattern P5.

  The special reserved number display means 26 displays the special reserved number by the display number of the symbol X corresponding to the special reserved number, and displays the symbol X for the reserved number on a predetermined portion on the display screen 21a, for example, the lower side. It has become.

  The notice effect display means (continuous notice effect means) 30 outputs, for example, a notice effect display during symbol variation by the effect symbol display means 25. In the present embodiment, as the notice effect display displayed by the notice effect display means 30, as shown in FIG. 8, a continuous notice effect display displayed during a continuous notice state, which will be described later, and a case other than during the continuous notice state And a normal notice effect display (an example of a normal effect) displayed on the screen.

  The continuous notice effect display is composed of, for example, a predetermined moving image, and the reproduction time (effect time) is longer than the change time 5 seconds of the reach-less change pattern P2 and the change time 8 of the reach-less change pattern P3. It is assumed that 6 seconds shorter than the second is set. On the other hand, the normal notice effect display is composed of, for example, a still image or a short-time moving image, and the reproduction time (effect time) is equal to or more than the change time 2 seconds of the shortest reach-less change pattern P1. Is also set short.

  The big winning means 17 is an open / close-type winning means provided with an opening / closing plate 29 that can be switched between an open state in which a game ball can be won and a closed state in which a prize cannot be won. When a big hit state occurs based on the big hit mode, the open / close plate 29 opens to the front side in accordance with a predetermined release pattern, and the game ball dropped thereon is awarded to the inside.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the control system of the pachinko machine. In FIG. 3, 31 is a main control board, 32 is an effect control board, and each of these control boards 31 and 32 collects the center case 14 mounted on the game board 11 and a plurality of other game parts from the back side. Each of them is housed in a substrate case that is detachably attached to appropriate positions on the back side of the gaming machine main body 1 including the front frame 3 and the game board 11 such as the back side of the back cover to be covered.

  The main control board 31 mainly performs control related to the game operation on the game board 11 side, and includes a normal random number generation processing means 41 constituted by a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, etc., a normal start port check processing means 42, Normal random number storage means 43, normal symbol processing means 44, hit state generation means 45, normal symbol display control means 46, special random number creation processing means 51, special start port check processing means 52, special random number storage means (information storage means) 53 , Special symbol processing means 54, jackpot state generation means 55, special symbol display control means 56, special game state generation means 57, control command transmission means 58, large classification variation pattern selection table storage means 59a, small classification variation pattern selection table storage Means 59b and the like are provided.

  The normal random number generation processing means 41 is configured to repeatedly generate a hit determination random number or the like used for determining whether or not the changed normal symbol is set as a hit mode at predetermined time intervals. The normal starting port check processing means 42 performs processing based on the detection of the game ball by the normal symbol starting means 15. Based on the fact that the normal symbol starting means 15 detects the game ball, the normal random number generating processing means 41. Each of the created hit determination random numbers is acquired and stored in the normal random number storage means 43 with a predetermined upper limit reserved number (for example, 4 each) as a limit. ing.

  The normal symbol processing means 44 performs processing related to the normal symbol fluctuation display, and includes a hit determination means 61, a normal stop symbol selection means 62, a fluctuation time selection means 63, and the like. The hit determination means 61 determines whether or not the stop symbol after the fluctuation of the normal symbol is used as a hit state. The normal symbol display means 22 is in a state where the variable symbol display is possible and one is stored in the normal random number storage means 43. On condition that the above hit determination random number value is stored (the number of normal holdings is 1 or more), the hit determination random value stored in the normal random number storage means 43 is taken out first, and the hit determination random value Is configured to make a hit / miss determination according to whether or not matches a predetermined hit determination value.

  In the present embodiment, the number of hit determination values used for the hit determination by the hit determination means 61 is different between the special game state described later and the other normal game states, thereby determining the hit probability in the special game state. (For example, 1 / 1.3) is set higher than the hit probability (for example, 1/10) in the normal gaming state.

The normal stop symbol selection means 62 selects the type of stop symbol after the normal symbol changes. In the present embodiment, only one type of symbol corresponds to the hit mode and the miss mode. Therefore, based on the hit / miss judgment result by the hit judgment function, “○” In the case of determination of detachment, “×” is selected uniformly. The variation time selection means 63 is for selecting the variation time of the normal symbol. In the present embodiment, the variation time (for example, 2.7 seconds) in the special gaming state is set to be shorter than the variation time (for example, 27 seconds) in the normal gaming state.

  The hit state generating means 45 generates a hit state when the determination result by the hit determining means 61 of the normal symbol processing means 44 is a hit determination, and the stop symbol after fluctuation of the normal symbol display means 22 is in a hit state. The opening / closing means 28 of the special start port 27b is changed to an open state in accordance with any of a plurality of types of opening / closing patterns. In the present embodiment, a normal opening / closing pattern (for example, 0.2 seconds × opened once) and a special opening / closing pattern (for example, 2 seconds) set so that the opening time and / or the number of times of opening are larger than the normal opening / closing pattern. 2 types of opening / closing patterns are set. The normal opening / closing pattern is selected during the normal gaming state, and the special opening / closing pattern is selected during the special gaming state.

  The normal symbol display control means 46 controls the display of the normal symbol display means 22 based on the normal symbol processing by the normal symbol processing means 44. The normal symbol display means 22 is in a state in which the normal symbol display means 22 can be variably displayed and the normal random number storage means. The normal symbol display means 22 starts to change the normal symbol on the condition that one or more hit determination random number values are stored in 43 (the normal holding number is 1 or more). Based on the elapse of the selected variation time, the variation of the normal symbol is stopped at the stop symbol selected by the normal stop symbol selecting means 62.

  The special random number creation processing means 51 is a jackpot determination random number used for determining whether to change the special symbol after the change to the big hit mode or the off mode, a symbol determination random number used for selecting the stop symbol after the special symbol is changed, A special random number generating process for repeatedly generating a large classification / small classification variation pattern random number used for selecting a variation pattern and other predetermined random numbers is performed.

  The special start port check processing means 52 performs processing based on winning of a game ball to the special symbol start means 16 and includes a pre-determination processing means 52a, that is, when the special symbol start means 16 detects the game ball. For example, a special start port check process shown in FIG. 9 is executed based on the winning of a game ball in the special start ports 27a and 27b.

  In this special start port check process (FIG. 9), it is first determined whether or not the number of special reservations has reached an upper limit (for example, four) (S1). Here, the special reserved number represents the number of variable storage information stored in the special random number storage means 53, that is, the number of undigested special symbol changes, and the variable storage information of this embodiment is a jackpot determination. It consists of two types of variation pattern random values, a random value, a symbol determination random value, and a large classification / small classification.

If the special reserved number has reached the upper limit (S1: Yes), the special start port check process ends here. On the other hand, if the special reserved number has not reached the upper limit value (S1: No), the special random number creation processing means 51 receives the variation storage information, that is, the jackpot determination random number value, the symbol determination random number value, the large classification variation pattern random number value, The small classification variation pattern random values are acquired one by one and stored in the special random number storage means 53 (S2), and, for example, not in the big hit state (S3: No) and not in the special game state described later (S4: On the condition of No), the preliminary determination processing unit 52a executes, for example, the preliminary determination process shown in FIG. 10 based on the variation storage information (S5).

  In the prior determination process (FIG. 10), first, a jackpot determination is performed based on the jackpot determination random number value (S11). That is, the jackpot determination / missing determination result is output according to whether or not the jackpot determination random number value matches a predetermined jackpot determination value.

  Then, when it is determined in S11 that it is out (S12: No), a determination regarding the type of out is performed based on the design determination random number value (S13). In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4A, there are two types of outages A and B, and the symbols A and B are generated in a range of 0 to 199, for example. For example, selection is performed with a probability of 190/200 or 10/200 based on the numerical value. Therefore, for example, if the symbol determination random number value is 100, it is determined as out A, and if the symbol determination random number value is 190, it is determined as out B.

  Note that the deviation A has a variation pattern selection rate that differs depending on the number of special reservations at the start of symbol variation, and the deviation B has a variation pattern selection rate that is independent of the number of special retentions at the start of symbol variation. It does not change.

  When S13 ends, a special reserved number increase command is subsequently selected based on the large classification variation pattern random value (S14). In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6A, B * 01 to B * 05 are assigned as the special reserved number increase commands transmitted in the case of the detachment determination. Any one of these B * 01 to B * 05 is selected according to the type of the large classification variation pattern selected according to the large classification variation pattern random value. Here, “*” in the special reserved number increase command is set to any one of 1 to 4, for example, according to the special reserved number after the increase due to the winning of the game ball to the special symbol starting means 16. In the case of the example in FIG. 6A, both B * 01 and B * 03 correspond to the reachless deviation variation pattern, and therefore the same command may be used.

  Correspondences between the random values of the large classification variation patterns and the plurality of types of large variation patterns are defined as a large classification variation pattern selection table and a large classification big hit variation pattern table, which are stored in advance in the large classification variation pattern selection table storage means 59a. ing.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4A, for the outage A, a large-class outlier variation pattern selection table is provided for each special reserved number at the start of the symbol variation, and for the outage B, all One large classification variation pattern selection table common to the special reserved number is provided. Note that the special reserved number shown in FIG. 4A indicates a value after the change is subtracted by 1 when the symbol change starts.

  According to the major classification variation pattern selection table shown in FIG. 4A, when the major classification variation pattern random value (0 to 238) is, for example, 220, the number of special reserve at the start of symbol variation is zero. In the case of 1 piece, the normal reach deviation fluctuation pattern is in the case of deviation A, and the special reserve number at the start of symbol fluctuation is 1 to 3; Each pattern is selected.

  Here, regarding the five types of large classification deviation variation pattern selection tables shown in FIG. 4A, the ranges of the large classification variation pattern random values corresponding to the large classification variation patterns are shown in FIG. As is clear from this, in the four types of large-class out-of-class variation pattern selection tables for each special reserved number corresponding to out-of-order A, 0 out of 0 to 238, which is the entire range that the large-class variation pattern random value can take. In the range of ˜217, all the tables correspond to the unreachable deviation variation pattern.

  In other words, when the random number value of the large classification variation pattern is within the range of 0 to 217 with the deviation A, even at the time of S14 when the number of special reserves at the start of symbol variation is unknown, the large variation pattern has not been reached. It is determined that the deviation variation pattern is selected. On the other hand, if the random number value of the large classification variation pattern is outside the range of 0 to 217 at the outage A, the reach-less out-of-reach variation pattern and the normal reach out-of-variation variation pattern at the time of S14 when the number of special reserve at the start of symbol variation is unknown. Which one is selected is not determined. In the case of outage B, the major classification variation pattern is selected based on one major classification variation variation pattern selection table regardless of the number of special reserves, so which major classification variation pattern is selected during symbol variation. Has already been determined at S14.

  From the above, in S14, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), if it is determined that the deviation A is determined in S13, if the large classification variation pattern random number value is within the range of 0 to 217, the reach is out of reach. B * 01 corresponding to the fluctuation pattern is selected. In other cases, B * 02 corresponding to the non-reach fluctuation pattern or the normal reach fluctuation pattern is selected. If the variation pattern random number value is in the range of 0 to 36, B * 03 corresponding to the non-reach variation pattern is within the range of 37 to 68, and B * 04 corresponding to the normal reach variation pattern is 69 to 69. If it is within the range of 238, B * 05 corresponding to the super reach deviation variation pattern is selected.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the specific range of the entire range of the large classification variation pattern random value is configured to correspond to the non-reach variation pattern in all the number-of-holding variation pattern selection tables. Since the special reserved number increase command B * 01 corresponding to the case where the random value of the large classification fluctuation pattern is within the specific range is provided separately from the other cases, the special reserved number increase command B * 01 is received. In this case, it can be determined that the variation pattern of the symbol variation corresponding to the reserved storage is surely a non-reach variation pattern even before the number of special reservations at the start of symbol variation is determined.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the jackpot determination random number value does not match the jackpot determination value, and the symbol determination random number value is selected as the large classification variation pattern by the common large classification outlier variation pattern selection table for all the special reserved numbers. What is the case where the special reserved number increase commands B * 04 and B * 05 corresponding to the case where the value is a value corresponding to the deviation B and the random value of the large classification variation pattern is a value corresponding to the reach variation variation pattern? Since it is provided separately, when the special reserved number increase command B * 04, B * 05 is received, the symbol change corresponding to the reserved memory is also performed before the special reserved number at the start of the symbol change is determined. It can be determined that the fluctuation pattern is surely an out-of-reach fluctuation pattern.

  On the other hand, when it is determined to be a big hit in S11 (S12: Yes), a special reserved number increase command is selected based on the symbol determination random number value (S15). In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6B, B * 11 to B * 14 are assigned as the special reserved number increase commands transmitted in the case of jackpot determination, and are selected according to the symbol determination random number value. One of these B * 11 to B * 14 is selected in accordance with the type of jackpot state to be performed.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), according to the opening pattern of the big winning means 17 and the type of the special game state that occurs after the end of the jackpot state, the normal jackpot 15 rounds, the probability variation jackpot 2 rounds, There are four types of jackpot states, five rounds for probability variation and 15 rounds for probability variation, and these four types of jackpot states are, for example, 80/200 based on symbol determination random numbers generated in the range of 0 to 199, for example. , 10/200, 10/200, and 100/200 are selected with a probability.

  Therefore, in S15, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), if the symbol determination random number value is within the range of 0 to 79, B * 11 corresponding to the normal jackpot 15 rounds will have the symbol determination random number value of 80 to 89. B * 12 corresponding to 2 rounds per probability variation is within the range of B, and B * 13 corresponding to 5 rounds per probability variation is within the range of 90 to 99 if the symbol determination random value is within the range of 90 to 99. If it is within the range of ˜199, B * 14 corresponding to 15 rounds of probability variation is selected.

  Note that 15 rounds of a normal jackpot are jackpot states in which a short-time state is generated instead of a probable change state as a special gaming state to be described later, and a predetermined opening operation by the big winning means 17, for example, a predetermined time from the opening of the big winning means 17 The operation of closing the big winning means 17 is performed for 15 rounds on the condition that (for example, 28 seconds) elapses or a predetermined number (for example, 9) of game balls have been won. Two rounds of probability variation jackpots, five rounds of probability variation jackpots and 15 rounds of probability variation jackpots are jackpot states that will generate a probability variation state as a special gaming state, and the predetermined opening action by the big winning means 17 is two rounds and five rounds, respectively. 15 rounds.

  When the above prior determination process (FIG. 10) is completed, the selected special reserved number increase command is transmitted (S6 in FIG. 9), and the special start port check process (FIG. 9) is completed.

  The special symbol processing means 54 performs processing related to the special symbol variation display, and includes a big hit determination means 71, a miss / hit state selection means 72, a fluctuation pattern selection means 73, and the like.

  The jackpot determining means 71 is for determining whether the special symbol after variation is to be a jackpot mode or out-of-track mode by random number lottery. The special symbol display unit 23 is in a state in which variable display is possible and the special random number storage unit On the condition that one or more jackpot determination random number values are stored in 53 (the number of special holdings is 1 or more), the jackpot determination random number value stored first in the special random number storage means 53 is extracted, The jackpot determination random number value is configured to determine whether or not the jackpot is determined based on whether or not the jackpot determination random number matches a predetermined jackpot determination value.

  The out / big hit state selection means 72 selects the type of out or big hit state, and when the big hit determination means 71 obtains the out determination result, the symbol determination random number value extracted from the special random number storage means 53 For example, when either of the divergences A and B (FIG. 4A) is selected and the jackpot determination means 71 obtains the jackpot determination result, for example, based on the symbol determination random number value, for example, the normal jackpot Any one of 15 rounds, 2 rounds per probability variation, 5 rounds per probability variation, and 15 rounds per probability variation (FIG. 6B) is selected.

  The variation pattern selection means 73 selects the variation pattern of the effect design, and is configured to execute, for example, the variation pattern selection process shown in FIG. In this variation pattern selection process (FIG. 11), when the determination result of the jackpot determination means 71 is a determination of losing (S21: No), the major category is out of the classification according to the losing type selected by the losing / big hit state selection means 72. A variation pattern selection table is selected. Here, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), in the case of outage A, the large-class outlier variation pattern selection table corresponding to the special reserved number at that time (after subtraction) is selected (S23). One large classification deviation pattern selection table is selected regardless of the number of special reserves.

  Then, a large classification variation pattern is selected based on the large classification variation pattern selection table and the large classification variation pattern random value extracted from the special random number storage unit 53 (S24). For example, according to the major classification deviation variation pattern selection table shown in FIG. 4A, when the number of special reservations is zero and the major classification variation pattern random value is 200, the normal reach deviation variation pattern is classified into the major classification. If the fluctuation pattern random value is 220, a fluctuation pattern out of normal reach is selected.

  Subsequently, the minor classification variation pattern is selected based on the minor classification variation pattern selection table, the special reserved number, and the minor classification variation pattern random value extracted from the special random number storage unit 53 (S25). The minor classification variation pattern selection table defines the correspondence between the minor classification variation pattern random value and a plurality of types of minor classification variation patterns, and is stored in advance in the minor classification variation pattern selection table storage unit 59b.

FIG. 7 shows an example of a small classification variation pattern selection table related to a reachless deviation variation pattern that is one of the large classification variation patterns. In the example of FIG. 7, the small classification variation pattern selection table in which the correspondence between the four types of unreachable variation patterns P1 to P4 as the small classification variation patterns and the small classification variation pattern random values (0 to 250) is defined. Is provided for each special reserve number.

  7 is used, the non-reach fluctuation pattern P4 is always obtained when the number of special hold is 0 or 1, and the reach is not reached when the special hold quantity is two. When one of the fluctuation patterns P2 and P3 is the special reserved number, one of the fluctuation patterns P1 and P2 without reach is selected.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the jackpot determination means 71 is a jackpot determination (S21: Yes in FIG. 11), the large classification jackpot fluctuation pattern selection table corresponding to the type of the jackpot state selected by the out / big hit state selection means 72 Is selected, and a large classification variation pattern is selected based on the large classification large hit variation pattern selection table and the large classification variation pattern random value extracted from the special random number storage means 53 (S26). For example, according to the large category jackpot variation pattern selection table shown in FIG. 4B, in the case of the normal jackpot 15 rounds, if the random number value (0 to 238) of the major category variation pattern is 5, the normal reach jackpot variation pattern is classified into the major category. If the random number value of the variation pattern is 100, the variation pattern of the super reach 2 big hit variation is selected.

  Subsequently, a small classification variation pattern is selected based on the small classification large variation pattern selection table, the special reserved number, and the small classification variation pattern random value extracted from the special random number storage means 53 (S27). The small-category jackpot fluctuation pattern selection table prescribes the correspondence between the small-classification fluctuation pattern random value and a plurality of types of small-classification fluctuation patterns. 59b.

  The jackpot state generating means 55 is for generating a jackpot state in which the jackpot means 17 is opened according to a predetermined opening pattern. The determination result by the jackpot determination means 71 is a jackpot determination, and the special symbol display means 23 generates a special symbol. Depending on the type of jackpot state selected by the dismissed / hit state selector 72 based on the fact that the stop symbol after the change becomes a jackpot mode, for example, 2, 5, 15 Only one of the rounds is repeated.

  The special symbol display control means 56 controls the display of the special symbol display means 23. Based on the special symbol processing by the special symbol processing means 54, the special symbol display means 23 starts the variation of the special symbol, and the variation pattern is selected. Based on the elapse of the variation time corresponding to the variation pattern selected by the means 73, for example, when the determination result of the big hit determination means 71 is out of determination, the determination result of the big hit determination means 71 is in a predetermined outage manner. In the case of jackpot determination, the variation of the special symbol is stopped in a jackpot mode corresponding to the type of jackpot state selected by the dismissal / jackpot state selection means 72.

  The special game state generation means 57 is for generating a special game state advantageous to the player during a predetermined period after the occurrence of the special profit state, and includes a time-short state generation means 57a and a probability change state generation means 57b.

  The short time state generating means 57a is a special game state when the result of the determination by the big hit determining means 71 is a big hit determination, and the big hit state corresponding to the short time state is selected by the miss / big hit state selecting means 72, for example, 15 rounds of a normal big hit. As one of these, a short time state is generated for a predetermined period, for example, until a special symbol fluctuates a predetermined number of times. During the short-time state, the fluctuation time of the special symbol display means 23 is switched to a shortened fluctuation time shorter than the normal fluctuation time for the special symbol, and the hit probability for the normal symbol is a normal probability (for example, 1/10) to a high probability (for example, 1/10). For example, to 1 / 1.3), the fluctuation time is changed from a normal fluctuation time (for example, 27 seconds) to a shortened fluctuation time (for example, 2.7 seconds). It is possible to switch from a special opening / closing pattern (for example, opening for 2 seconds × 3 times) to a special opening / closing pattern (0.2 seconds × opening once).

  The probability variation state generation means 57b is a jackpot determination based on the determination result by the jackpot determination means 71, and the jackpot state corresponding to the probability variation state by the losing / big hit state selection means 72, for example, two rounds for the probability variation jackpot, five rounds for the probability variation jackpot, and 15 rounds for the probability variation jackpot When any of these is selected, the probability variation state is generated as a special gaming state for a predetermined period, for example, until the next jackpot occurrence. During the probability variation state, the number of jackpot determination values increases from 1 to 10, for example, compared to other normal probability states, so that the probability that the special symbol will be a jackpot mode is greater than the normal probability (for example, 1/350). Is switched to a high probability (for example, 1/35), and for example, processing similar to that in the time-saving state is also performed in parallel.

  The control command transmitting means 58 is for transmitting a predetermined control command to the sub-control board side such as the effect control board 32 by one-way communication and giving a control command. Based on the special symbol processing by the special symbol processing means 54. A function for transmitting a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern, a failure / big hit state designation command for designating the type of outage / hit state, a variation stop command for instructing a special symbol to be stopped, etc. A function for transmitting a special game state generation command, a special game state end command, etc. to the effect control board 32 according to the special game state when the special game state is generated and ended by the special game state generation unit 57, and a pre-determination processing unit Decrease the special reserved number increase command (FIG. 6) when the special reserved number increases based on the pre-determination process by 52a In addition to the function of transmitting a special reserved number reduction command to the effect control board 32 side, image, sound, and lamp control commands are transmitted to the effect control board 32 side, for example, based on various gaming states such as a special profit state. It has functions.

  The effect control board 32 is for controlling various effect means such as the effect symbol display means 25, the special reserved number display means 26, the notice effect display means 30, the sound output means 81, the lamp means 82, and the special reserved number display. Control means 83, hold storage means 84, effect symbol display control means 85, notice effect control means 86, notice effect display control means 87, sound control means 88, lamp control means 89, and the like are provided.

  The special reserved number display control means 83 controls the display of the special reserved number display means 26, and a new game ball is detected by the special symbol starting means 16 and a special reserved number increase command is received from the main control board 31. Sometimes, one additional symbol X is displayed at a predetermined position on the display screen 21a of the image display device 21 based on the number of the reserved storage corresponding to the special reserved number increase command. When the symbol change by the special symbol display means 23 is newly started and a special reserved number reduction command is received from the main control board 31, the first symbol X displayed on the special reserved number display means 26 is erased. At the same time, when the second and subsequent symbols X are displayed, the symbols X are shifted forward one by one.

  Note that the content of the special reserved number increase command received from the main control board 31 is stored in the reserved storage means 84 until the symbol variation corresponding to the reserved storage is started.

  The effect symbol display control means 85 controls the display of the effect symbol display means 25. When the change pattern designation command is received from the main control board 31 side, the effect symbol display means 25 is based on the designated variation pattern. When the variation stop command is started, and when the variation stop command is received, the variation of the effect symbol is stopped at the stop symbol selected based on, for example, the off / hit state designation command.

  The notice effect control means 86 performs control related to the notice effect by the notice effect display means 30, and includes continuous notice state start means 86a, notice effect lottery means 86b, etc., and performs the notice effect control process as shown in FIG. It is configured to be executed each time a variation pattern designation command is received from a predetermined timing, for example, from the main control board 31 side. The notice effect control means 86 is an example of a continuous notice effect control means for executing a predetermined successive notice effect while the special symbol (game symbol) is changing on condition that the notice state is in a continuous notice state.

  As shown in FIG. 12, in the notice effect control process by the notice effect control means 86, the value of the continuous notice counter is first determined (S31). Here, the continuous notice counter is set with the number of fluctuations of the remaining special symbols during the continuous notice state, and after the initial value is set in S48 (FIG. 13) to be described later, Each time the change ends (for example, every time a change stop command is received from the main control board 31), 1 is subtracted.

  Then, on the condition that the value of the continuous notice counter is 0, that is, it is determined that the continuous notice state is not in effect (S31: Yes), the continuous notice state start means 86a executes the continuous notice state start process (S32). Is done. In this continuous notice state start process, as shown in FIG. 13, for example, it is determined whether or not the value of the special reserved number is a predetermined number (for example, 2) or more (S41), and the value of the special reserved number is the predetermined number or more. If not (S41: No), the continuous notice state start process ends here.

  Further, all of the stored memories other than the latest are determined by the non-reach deviation variation pattern based on the contents stored in the reserved storage means 84 (B * 01 or B * 03 in the case of a special reserved number increase command). Is determined (S42), and it is determined that at least one of the non-latest hold memories is not an unreachable fluctuation pattern (in the case of a special hold number increase command, B * 04, B * 05, B * 11 to B * 14) or the possibility (B * 02 in the case of a special reserved number increase command) is determined (S42: No), the continuous notice state start process ends here. .

  If it is determined in S42 that all the stored memories other than the latest one have been determined by the non-reach out-of-run variation pattern, whether or not the latest retained storage is a reach variation, that is, a reach jackpot variation pattern (increase in the number of special suspension) It is determined whether it is one of the reach deviation variation patterns (B * 04, B * 05 in terms of the special reserve number increase command) (S43, S44). It is determined that the latest hold memory is not reach fluctuation (B * 01, B * 03 in the case of the special hold number increase command) or there is a possibility (B * in the case of the special hold number increase command). 02) (S43: No → S44: No), the continuous notice state start process ends here.

  When it is determined that the latest reserved memory is a big hit (S43: Yes), a lottery is performed to determine whether or not to start the big jackpot continuous notice state (S46), and the latest held memory is a reach-out variation pattern. If it is determined that it is (S44: Yes), a lottery is performed as to whether or not to start the continuous notice state of gas (S45).

  If a lottery result indicating that the jackpot or gossip continuous notice state is started is obtained (S47: Yes), the value of the special reserved number is set in the continuous notice counter (S48), and the continuous notice state start process is performed. Ends.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the deviation variation pattern used in each symbol variation may be selected according to the number of special suspensions at the start of the symbol variation, but B as a special suspension number increase command. When * 01 or B * 03 is received, it can be determined that the symbol fluctuation corresponding to the reserved memory is surely out-of-reach fluctuation, and B * 04 and B * 05 are received as a special pending number increase command. In this case, it can be determined that the symbol variation corresponding to the reserved storage is surely out of reach variation.

  When it is determined in S31 of FIG. 12 that the value of the continuous notice counter is not 0 (in the continuous notice state), or in S31, it is determined that the value of the continuous notice counter is 0 (not in the continuous notice state) and When the continuous notice state start process of S32 is completed, the notice effect lottery process (S33) is executed by the notice effect lottery means 86b. The notice effect lottery means 86b is an example of a continuous notice effect control means for executing a continuous notice effect during a change of a special symbol (game symbol) on the condition that the notice state is in a continuous notice state.

  This notice effect lottery process is a lottery to determine whether or not the notice effect is to be performed in the variation (design variation started immediately after). As shown in FIG. 14, the value of the continuous notice counter is first determined. (S51). If it is determined in S51 that the value of the continuous notice counter is 0, that is, it is not in the continuous notice state (S51: Yes), a lottery is performed as to whether or not a normal notice effect is to be performed (S52). When this is won (S53: Yes), the notice effect display control means 87 is instructed to execute the normal notice effect (S54).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S51 that the value of the continuous notice counter is not 0, that is, in the continuous notice state (S51: No), the fluctuation time T of the fluctuation pattern selected by the fluctuation pattern selection means 73 is It is determined whether or not the production time for the continuous notice effect is 6 seconds or longer (S55).

  Here, in this embodiment, the final fluctuation in the continuous notice state is always a reach fluctuation pattern (FIG. 13), and the fluctuation times of all reach fluctuation patterns are longer than 11 seconds, which is the fluctuation time of the reach-less deviation fluctuation pattern P5. Therefore, when the fluctuation is the final fluctuation in the continuous notice state (when the continuous notice counter = 1), the fluctuation time T is always longer than 6 seconds, which is the production time of the continuous notice effect.

  Further, in this embodiment, fluctuations other than the last in the continuous notice state are always reachless deviation fluctuation patterns (FIG. 13), and the four types of reach deviation fluctuation patterns P1 to P4 have fluctuation times of 2, 5, 8, and 11 seconds, respectively. (FIG. 7), when the fluctuation is a fluctuation other than the last in the continuous notice state (when the continuous notice counter ≧ 2), any one of the reach deviation fluctuation patterns P3 and P4 is selected. In this case, the change time T is 6 seconds or more, which is the effect time of the continuous notice effect. However, when one of the reach deviation change patterns P1 and P2 is selected, the change time T is the value of the continuous notice effect. It will be shorter than the production time of 6 seconds.

If it is determined in S55 that the variation time T is 6 seconds or more, which is the effect time of the continuous notice effect, the notice effect display control means 87 is instructed to execute the continuous notice effect (S56). If it is determined that the variation time T is shorter than 6 seconds, which is the production time of the continuous notice effect, the continuous notice effect is not accommodated during the fluctuation, and therefore execution of the continuous notice effect is not instructed.

  Thereafter, the continuous notice counter is decremented by 1, and the notice effect lottery process is terminated, and the notice effect control process (FIG. 12) is also terminated when the notice effect lottery process (S33) is completed.

  The notice effect display control means 87 controls the display of the notice effect display means 30, and in response to an instruction from the notice effect lottery means 86b, the notice effect display means 30 performs normal notice effects on the notice effect display means 30 in synchronism with changes in the effect symbols. It is configured to output a display or continuous notice effect display.

  The audio control unit 88 performs audio output control of the audio output unit 81 such as a speaker, and outputs a predetermined sound effect or the like from the audio output unit 81 based on an audio control command from the main control board 31 side. It has become. The lamp control unit 89 performs display control of the lamp unit 82 and the like, and causes the lamp unit 82 and the like to emit light in a predetermined pattern based on a lamp control command from the main control board 31 side.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine of the present embodiment, the condition that the variation time of the variation pattern selected by the variation pattern selection unit 73 is equal to or longer than the production time of the continuous notice effect under the control of the notice effect control unit 86. Is executed so that if the duration of the continuous notice effect is shorter than the effect time of the continuous notice effect, the continuous notice effect is not executed. Despite being configured, it is not necessary to set the effect time of the continuous notice effect to be shorter than the change time of the shortest fluctuation pattern, and it is possible to secure a sufficient effect time for the continuous notice effect. Become.

  FIG. 15 illustrates the second embodiment of the present invention. The variation of the variation pattern selected by the variation pattern selection means 73 is changed from the production time of the continuous notice effect by partially changing the first embodiment. In the case of being short, an example in which a normal notice effect (normal effect) is executed is shown.

  In the present embodiment, in the notice effect lottery process by the notice effect lottery means 86b of the notice effect control means 86, as shown in FIG. 15, it is determined in S51 that the value of the continuous notice counter is not 0, that is, in the continuous notice state. (S51: No), if it is determined in S55 that the variation time T is shorter than the effect time (6 seconds here) of the continuous notice effect, it is determined that the value of the continuous notice counter is 0 in S51. As in the case of the case, the lottery for determining whether or not the normal notice effect is to be performed is performed (S52), and when this is won (S53: Yes), the notice effect display control means 87 executes the normal notice effect. Instructed (S54).

  Here, the effect time of the normal notice effect is set to be the same as or shorter than the change time 2 seconds of the shortest reach-less change pattern P1. The production can be surely ended within the fluctuation time. As described above, in this embodiment as well, in the same way as in the first embodiment, although the variation pattern is selected according to the number of special reservations at the start of symbol variation, It is not necessary to set the production time shorter than the fluctuation time of the shortest variation pattern, and it is possible to secure a sufficient production time for the continuous notice production.

  FIG. 16 illustrates the third embodiment of the present invention. The variation of the variation pattern selected by the variation pattern selection means 73 is changed from the production time of the continuous notice effect by partially changing the first embodiment. In the case of a short time, an example is shown in which the continuous notice effect is executed by fast-forward so as to be within the fluctuation time.

In the present embodiment, in the notice effect lottery process by the notice effect lottery means 86b of the notice effect control means 86, as shown in FIG. 16, it is determined in S51 that the value of the continuous notice counter is not 0, that is, in the continuous notice state. If it is determined (S51: No), if it is determined in S55 that the variation time T is equal to or longer than the effect time of the continuous notice effect (here, 6 seconds), the notice effect display control means 87 continues. Although it is instructed to execute the notice effect at the normal speed (S56a), if it is determined in S55 that the variation time T is shorter than the effect time of the continuous notice effect (here 6 seconds), the change time T It is instructed to execute the continuous notice effect by fast-forwarding so as to fit within (S56b).

  As described above, in this embodiment as well, in the same way as in the first embodiment, although the variation pattern is selected according to the number of special reservations at the start of symbol variation, It is not necessary to set the production time shorter than the fluctuation time of the shortest variation pattern, and it is possible to secure a sufficient production time for the continuous notice production.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to these embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention. For example, in the embodiment, an example in which only one kind of effect time of 6 seconds is provided as the continuous notice effect has been described, but two or more kinds of effect information may be provided. In this case, the continuous notice effect is selected regardless of the selection of the variation pattern, and the continuous notice effect is executed on condition that the variation time T is equal to or longer than the effect time of the selected continuous notice effect. Or, if the continuous notice effect is executed on condition that the change time T is equal to or longer than the shortest effect time, and there are a plurality of continuous notice effects whose effect time is shorter than the change time T, of those, You may comprise so that one may be selected by lottery etc.

  In the embodiment, 6 seconds, which is the effect time of the continuous notice effect, is used as the threshold for determining the change time T in S55 of the notice effect lottery process. In the case of the embodiment, 5 <threshold value may be used as long as the value is larger than the longest variation time among the variation patterns of variation times that are shorter than the shortest variation time and shorter than the production time of the continuous notice effect. It may be set in the range of ≦ 8.

  Alternatively, instead of comparing the production time of the continuous notice effect and the fluctuation time T in S55, the fluctuation pattern having the fluctuation time T equal to or longer than the production time of the continuous notice effect and the other fluctuation patterns are classified in advance. In S55, the determination may be made by comparing the variation pattern numbers and the like.

  The continuous notice state starting unit 86a of the embodiment covers a plurality of symbol variations up to a specific symbol variation corresponding to the specific variation storage information among the variation storage information stored in the special random number storage unit (information storage unit) 53. Although it is configured to determine whether or not the continuous notice state is generated, the specific variation storage information does not necessarily need to be the latest variation storage information at the determination time. That is, if the number of special reserves at the time of determination by the continuous notice state starting means 86a is four, for example, a continuous notice state may be generated in which the symbol fluctuation corresponding to the third fluctuation memory is the final fluctuation. .

  Further, the continuous notice state starting means 86a of the embodiment is configured to be executed at the time of starting the change of the special symbol, but is not limited thereto, and is executed when the game ball is detected by the special symbol starting means 16, for example. You may comprise.

  In the embodiment, the variation pattern is selected in two stages using two random values of the large classification variation pattern random value and the small classification variation pattern random value. However, the variation pattern is selected by one type of variation pattern random value. You may select, and you may comprise so that a variation pattern may be selected by the process of three steps or more using three or more types of variation pattern random value.

  In the embodiment, it is configured to start the continuous notice effect state on condition that all of the hold memories other than the latest correspond to the loss without reach and the latest hold memory corresponds to the jackpot or reach loss. However, for example, when it is impossible or difficult to determine these conditions at the time of determining whether to start the continuous notice effect state, any or all of these conditions may be removed.

  In the embodiment, an example in which a predetermined moving image or the like is displayed on the notice effect display means 30 on the image display device 21 is shown as an example of the notice effect. However, for example, the notice effect display is displayed by other display means or a lamp. You may make it perform, and you may make it perform a notice effect by the combination of these, audio | voice output, the action | operation of a movable body, etc.

  The present invention is applicable not only to various pachinko machines such as pachinko machines equipped with a plurality of sets of special symbol display means 23 and special symbol start means 16, but also to various ball game machines such as arrange ball machines and sparrow ball game machines. Can be implemented.

53 Special random number storage means (information storage means)
55 jackpot state generating means 71 jackpot determining means 73 fluctuation pattern selecting means 86a continuous notice state starting means 86b notice effect control means (continuous notice effect control means)

By the way, in many ball game machines, the variation pattern used in each symbol variation is configured to be selected according to the number of reserves at the start of the symbol variation, and the symbol starting means detects the game ball. At the stage, the variation pattern selected for the symbol variation is not fixed .

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and even if the variation pattern is selected according to the number of reserved symbols at the start of symbol variation , the final variation of the continuous notice effect is always reached. An object is to provide a ball game machine that can be changed.

The present invention includes a game symbol display means 23 for variably displaying a game symbol in accordance with any one of a plurality of types of variation patterns based on variation memory information acquired when the symbol starter 16 detects a game ball, Information storage means 53 for storing the variable memory information up to a predetermined upper limit number until it is subjected to symbol fluctuation by the game symbol display means 23, and a jackpot determination random number value of the variable memory information is determined in advance A jackpot determining means 71 for determining whether or not the stop symbol after the change of the game symbol is to be a jackpot mode according to whether or not it matches the determination value, a variation pattern disturbance included in the variation pattern selection table and the variation storage information a change pattern selection means 73 for selecting the change pattern based on the number, the stop symbols after variation of the game symbols the jackpot aspect A jackpot state generating means 55 for generating the jackpot state if it becomes, multiple symbol variable to a specific symbol variation corresponding to a particular change storage information of the change storage information stored in the information storage unit 53 Continuous notice state starting means 86a for determining whether or not a predetermined continuous notice state is to be started, and a sequence for executing a predetermined continuous notice effect during a change in the game symbol on the condition that the continuous notice state is in effect. A notice effect control unit 86b, and the variation pattern selection table includes a plurality of types of variation pattern selection tables according to the number of reservations corresponding to the number of reservations that is the number of storages of the variation storage information. , if the determination result of at least the jackpot determining means 71 is not determined jackpot embodiment, with a predetermined probability, the number of holds another variation Pas In configured pinball game machine to select the variation pattern according to the number of holds at the start variation of the game pattern based on over down selection table, the change pattern selection table, all of the number of holds The continuous notice state start unit 86a includes all the variation storage information other than the specific variation storage information among the variation storage information stored in the information storage unit 53. The random number value in the variation pattern does not correspond to the reach variation pattern, the predetermined random value in the specific variation storage information is a value corresponding to the common variation pattern selection table, and the variation pattern variation in the specific variation storage information A value corresponding to the reach variation pattern in the common variation pattern selection table On the condition that it is, it is configured to make a determination to start the continuous notice state .

According to the present invention, although the variation pattern is selected according to the number of reserved symbols at the start of symbol variation, the final variation of the continuous notice effect can always be the reach variation. .

Each of these major classification variation patterns is divided into one or a plurality of types of minor classification variation patterns. In the present embodiment, for example, four types of small classification variation patterns P1 to P4 are provided for a reachless deviation variation pattern that is one of the large classification variation patterns, as shown in FIG. Note that the fluctuation times of these non-reach fluctuation patterns P1 to P4 are set to 2, 5, 8, and 11 seconds, respectively, and the fluctuation times of the other reach deviation fluctuation patterns and the reach jackpot fluctuation pattern are all non-reach fluctuations. It is assumed that it is longer than the pattern P4 .

Then, a large classification variation pattern is selected based on the large classification variation pattern selection table and the large classification variation pattern random value extracted from the special random number storage unit 53 (S24). For example, according to the major classification off change pattern selection table shown in FIG. 4 (a), if the special number of holds in out A is zero, the reach without deviating variation pattern if the 200 is large classification variation pattern random value, large If the classification variation pattern random value is 220, the normal reach deviation variation pattern is selected.

Here, in this embodiment, the final fluctuation in the continuous notice state is always a reach fluctuation pattern (FIG. 13), and the fluctuation times of all reach fluctuation patterns are longer than 11 seconds, which is the fluctuation time of the reach-less deviation fluctuation pattern P4. Therefore, when the fluctuation is the final fluctuation in the continuous notice state (when the continuous notice counter = 1), the fluctuation time T is always longer than 6 seconds, which is the production time of the continuous notice effect.
