Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko machine in which a game ball is driven into a game area to flow down.

  In a conventional pachinko machine, when a game ball wins a start winning opening or a tulip-type electric accessory, a so-called “big hit lottery” is executed and a symbol variation pattern corresponding to the result of the “big hit lottery” in the symbol display section The symbol display is started according to the above, and when a predetermined symbol variation time has elapsed from the start of the variation, the symbol is fixedly displayed in a predetermined fixed display mode corresponding to the result of the “big hit lottery”. Then, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, according to the result of the rush lottery executed at the time of winning a prize, a detailed variation pattern which is a symbol variation pattern from the background display in the symbol display unit or the symbol variation start to the final display, Control is performed to switch from the so-called normal effect mode to the specific effect mode, which is switched to the one read from the specific display effect storage area, and in the specific effect mode until the fixed display count of the symbol reaches a predetermined number from the transition. A pachinko machine has also been devised that executes control to continue the production.

  In the pachinko machine described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, when the winning lottery is won, the fixed display count is determined in advance. For example, if the number of confirmed displays is four, normally, after entering the final display four times, the effect in the specific effect mode is ended at the start of the change of the symbol related to the next winning (winning A). Although it returns to the production in the normal mode, the continuous lottery is executed at the time of winning A, and if this continuous lottery is won, the change (from the start of change related to winning A to the final display) The control of continuing the production in the specific production mode is also executed.

JP-A-2005-304726

  However, in the pachinko machine described in Patent Document 1, the situation in which the production in the specific production mode continues beyond the predetermined number of display times is not limited to the continuous lottery related to the prize A, and thereafter If the production in the specific production mode is continued, the continuous lottery must be won continuously after the winning A. In other words, such a situation is unlikely to occur, and usually the number of times of continuation of the performance in the specific performance mode is a predetermined fixed display count (at most +1), and although the transition to the specific performance mode is made, the game is monotonous There is a problem of being easy to become.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko machine in which the number of continuations of the production in the specific production mode is rich and the game does not become monotonous.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention is characterized in that a start winning opening through which a game ball can be won and a symbol display capable of displaying a symbol within a game area where the game ball can flow down. Is provided with a control means for controlling an action related to a game, a symbol storage area for storing the symbol, and a variation display mode of the symbol in the symbol display unit, and the symbol variation time is different. And a storage means having a normal fluctuation pattern storage area for storing a plurality of detailed fluctuation patterns, and when the winning of the game ball flowing down in the gaming area to the start winning opening is detected, the control means When starting the variation of the symbol related to the winning, the jackpot determination is performed as to whether or not the acquired numerical value is a predetermined jackpot value, and the symbol variation time of the symbol is determined. In accordance with the detailed variation pattern corresponding to the determined symbol variation time, the symbol display unit starts variation of the symbol, and when the symbol variation time has elapsed, the symbol is displayed in a definite display mode corresponding to the result of the jackpot determination. When the winning of the game ball to the start winning opening is detected during the display of the variation of the symbol, the random number acquired by the control means is stored as the hold information in the hold information storage area of the storage means. A pachinko machine that sequentially digests the on-hold information every time the symbol is confirmed and displayed, the storage means storing a specific symbol storage area that stores a specific symbol that can be displayed on the symbol display unit; A specific variation pattern memory that stores a specific detailed variation pattern that is a variation display mode from the start of variation of the specific symbol to the fixed display in the symbol display unit. The control means, a rush lottery means for executing a rush lottery due to detection of the winning, a continuation lottery means for executing a continuous lottery due to detection of the winning, and the symbol display Display mode switching means for switching the variable display mode in the section, and when the control means wins the entry lottery, the display effect in the symbol display section is stored in the normal variation pattern storage area. From the normal effect mode in which the variation display and the fixed display are performed according to the detailed variation pattern, to the specific effect mode in which the specific symbol is subjected to the variation display and the fixed display according to the specific detailed variation pattern stored in the specific variation pattern storage area. In the symbol display section until switching, at least until the final display related to the winning winning the entry lottery While the display effect is set to the specific effect mode, the winning lottery is executed when the winning occurs during the variation display of the specific symbol in the specific effect mode, and the result of the continuous lottery is also stored as the hold information. And when digesting the hold information stored after the winning that won the entry lottery in the specific production mode, the result of the continuous lottery is confirmed, and the result of the continuous lottery is won If there is, the display effect in the symbol display unit relating to the digestion of the hold information continues the display effect in the specific effect mode, while if the result of the continuous lottery is non-winning, the display effect in the symbol display unit When switching to the normal performance mode and storing the hold information, if the result of the continuous lottery is a win, it is digested with priority over the hold information. The continuation lottery result of the pending information to confirm that, in the case of non-winning, characterized in that rewriting the winning.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, the control means is configured such that the winning occurs while the symbol variation display is performed in the normal performance mode, and the rush lottery relating to the winning is performed. When winning, confirm the remaining time from the time when the winning is detected until the symbol is confirmed display in the variation display, and if the remaining time is more than a specific time, during the variation display of the symbol, The display effect in the symbol display unit is switched from the normal effect mode to the specific effect mode.

According to the present invention, after switching to the specific performance mode, the continuous lottery is executed every time holding information is generated, and when the continuous lottery is won, the continuous lottery in the holding information having a higher digestion priority than itself If the lottery result is out of place, the winning effect is rewritten to win, so the display effect in the specific effect mode is continued until at least the variable display related to the hold information won in the continuous lottery. Therefore, it is easy to continue the specific effect mode across a plurality of hold information, and the timing at which the display effect on the symbol display unit returns from the specific effect mode to the normal effect mode is not uniform. It is possible to provide a player with a variety of games that are less monotonous than in the past.
According to the second aspect of the present invention, if a winning occurs during the symbol variation display in the normal performance mode, and the entry lottery related to the winning is a win, the variation is detected from the time when the winning is detected. Check the remaining time until the symbol becomes fixed display in the display, and if the remaining time is more than the specified time, switch the display effect on the symbol display part from the normal effect mode to the specific effect mode during the symbol change display. . Therefore, it is possible to provide an unprecedented novel effect that the display effect on the symbol display unit is suddenly switched to the specific effect mode during the variation of the normal decorative symbol. In addition, even if there is only one hold number, the display effect in the symbol display section can be switched from the normal effect mode to the specific effect mode, so there is a situation where the number of hold numbers is switched compared to the conventional one. A pachinko machine that is easy to occur (and thus a switching effect is likely to appear) and that has high gaming properties can be obtained.

(Shown in FIG. 4) and the like are installed. In addition, 22 is a plug for connecting the pachinko machine 1 to a transformer, and 27 is a ground.

Next, the control mechanism of the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a control mechanism of the pachinko machine 1.
The main control device 30 incorporates a main control board 31 on which a main CPU 32 for controlling the operation of the following members as well as execution of “big hit lottery”, a storage means 33 such as ROM and RAM, a timer 34, an interface 35 and the like are mounted. Has been. The main control board 31 is connected to the start winning port 19, the tulip-type electric accessory 17, the big winning device 18, the payout control device 28, the power supply device 29, the special symbol display unit 61, and the like via the interface 35. Has been. The main control board 31 is also electrically connected to a sub-integrated board 41 built in the sub-control device 40.

  The storage means 33 incorporates a plurality of counters such as a c counter used for the “big hit lottery” and a d counter for determining a basic variation pattern (symbol variation pattern) which is a variation time mainly for special symbols and decorative symbols. ing. Each counter is a loop counter that counts a loop while adding one by one within a very short time (for example, 1 interrupt 2.000 ms) according to a predetermined rule from the time of power-on. Acquisition of the numerical values used can be regarded as acquisition of random numbers. The c counter counts between 0 and 700 (701 ways) and the d counter counts between 0 and 30 (31 ways). Then, the main CPU 32 acquires one numerical value from each of the c counter and the d counter (execution of “big hit lottery”) triggered by detection of winning of the game ball at the start winning opening 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17. , C determines whether or not the acquired numerical value is a predetermined “big hit value”.

  The storage means 33 stores a special symbol displayed on the special symbol display unit 61 and a basic variation pattern determination table in which the numerical value of the d counter is associated with the basic variation pattern as shown in FIG. This basic variation pattern mainly defines the variation time (time from the start of variation to the final display) of special symbols and decorative symbols, and all basic variation patterns have a predetermined unit variation time (here, 4.0 seconds) is a natural number times as long. That is, the basic variation pattern A in which the decorative display variation display mode in the symbol display unit 6 is so-called normal deviation (no reach effect) is 8.0 seconds (twice), and the basic variation pattern B in which the normal reach effect is present is It is 12.0 seconds (3 times). In addition, the basic variation pattern C in which the decorative display variation display mode in the symbol display unit 6 has the long reach effect is 20.0 seconds (5 times), and the basic variation pattern D in which the super reach effect is present is 32.0. Second (8 times). Further, in the storage means 33, for example, when a game ball is won at the start winning opening 19 while the special symbol is variably displayed on the special symbol display unit 61, the acquired numerical values (c counter and d counter associated with the winning) ( There is provided a hold information storage area for storing a maximum of four (winning information) as hold information. Note that the number of hold information stored in the hold information storage area is lit and displayed on the hold display unit 20 and notified to the player under the control of the sub-integrated board 41 as will be described later. Further, the hold information is sequentially digested in the stored order every time the special symbol and the decorative symbol are fixedly displayed, and new hold information can be stored along with the digestion.

  The sub-control device 40 includes a sub-integrated board 41 on which a sub-integrated CPU 42, a storage unit 43, a timer 44, an interface 45, and the like are mounted. The sub-integrated board 41 is electrically connected to the main control board 31 via the interface 45, and is electrically connected to the display control device 50, the light emission control device 51, and the sound control device 52, As will be described later, when the sub-integrated CPU 42 receives a signal relating to the big hit lottery from the main control board 31, the sub-integrated CPU 42 controls each control device according to the content of the signal, the operation of the speaker 14 and the lamp member 15, and the symbol display unit. The display operation of the decorative symbols in 6 is controlled. Further, the push button 25, the hold display unit 20, and the like are connected to the sub-integrated board 41 through the interface 45.

  Further, the storage means 43 has a symbol storage area (not shown) for storing a normal decorative symbol to be displayed on the symbol display section 6, and a character effect using a detailed variation display mode of the decorative symbol and a character animation. And a normal fluctuation pattern storage area 46 storing a plurality of detailed fluctuation patterns (design fluctuation patterns), etc., and various basic fluctuation patterns determined by the main control board 31 as shown in FIG. It is stored in association with the pattern. The normal reach production is composed of a common fluctuation production 8.0 seconds until the reach is confirmed and a first reach fluctuation production 4.0 seconds after the reach is decided. Further, the long reach effect is composed of a common change effect 8.0 seconds and a second reach change effect 12.0 seconds after the reach is determined. Furthermore, the super reach effect is composed of a common change effect 8.0 seconds and a third reach change effect 24.0 seconds after the reach is determined.

The basic game operation in the pachinko machine 1 will be briefly described below.
When the handle 9 is turned by the player, the launching device 10 is activated, and a game ball is driven into the game area 16 through the launch passage 13. When the game ball flowing down in the game area 16 wins the start winning opening 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17 (a predetermined condition is satisfied), the main CPU 32 detects the win. Then, the main CPU 32 acquires one numerical value from the c counter and the d counter at the timing of winning detection, and the numerical value of the c counter acquired this time is a predetermined “big hit value (for example,“ 0 ”or“ 300 ”). The basic variation pattern corresponding to the acquired value of the d counter based on whether or not it exists and whether or not it is the “big hit value” is temporarily determined as a pre-reading determination, and hold information as described later is stored. After executing the same control (for example, creation and transmission of schedule information) as in the case, the special symbol display unit 61 confirms whether or not the special symbol is being variably displayed and whether or not there is pending information. When the special symbol is not changing in the special symbol display unit 61 and there is no holding information, the value of the c counter acquired this time is a predetermined “big hit value (for example,“ 0 ”or“ 300 ”). , That is, whether or not the result of the current “big hit lottery” is “big hit” is determined again as a big hit determination. If the result of the “big hit lottery” is “big hit” (that is, the acquired numerical value is “big hit value”), the basic counter pattern determination table shown in FIG. Read the corresponding basic variation pattern. On the other hand, if the result of the “big hit lottery” is “out” (that is, the obtained numerical value is a value other than the “big hit value”), the basic variation pattern determination table shown in FIG. Reads the basic fluctuation pattern corresponding to the acquired numerical value. After that, the main CPU 32 creates a start command including information indicating the result of the “big hit lottery” (whether it is “big hit” or “out”) and the type of the read basic fluctuation pattern (especially the fluctuation time). At the same time, the start command is transmitted to the sub-integrated CPU 42. In addition, the special symbol display unit 61 causes the special symbol to vary in a predetermined manner, and the timer 34 starts timing. When the fluctuation time of the read basic fluctuation pattern has elapsed, a special symbol corresponding to the result of the “big hit lottery” is fixedly displayed (in the case of “big hit”, the special jackpot special symbol display mode “3” or “7” In the case of “out”, “−” is used to confirm each display), and a confirmation command including a confirmation signal is transmitted to the sub-integrated CPU 42.

On the other hand, when the special symbol display unit 61 is variably displaying the special symbol or when the holding information is present when the presence / absence of the holding information is confirmed, it is based on the acquired numerical values of the c counter and the d counter associated with the winning. A prefetch determination is executed, and the acquired numerical values of the c counter and the d counter are stored as hold information. In addition, every time the special symbol is confirmed and displayed, whether the result of the “hit lottery” is “hit” for the oldest held information among the stored pieces of hold information is determined as a jackpot determination, and a start command is issued. The same control as described above such as transmission is executed, and the oldest hold information is deleted from the hold information storage area. Furthermore, if the number of the hold information stored in the hold information storage area has already reached the maximum value, the pre-reading determination of the acquired values of the c counter and the d counter is not performed, and the c counter and the d counter Delete the acquired numerical value without storing it as hold information.
As for the opening / closing operation of the tulip-type electric accessory 17, “lottery” by random number acquisition similar to “big hit lottery” with the passing of a game ball to a gate member (not shown) provided in the game area 16. The wing piece of the tulip-type electric accessory 17 is opened only for a predetermined set time only when winning is performed.

  On the other hand, when the sub-integration CPU 42 receives the start command, the sub-integration CPU 42 determines the decorative symbol to be finally displayed according to the result of the “big hit lottery” included in the start command, and from the normal variation pattern storage area 46. The detailed variation pattern corresponding to the basic variation pattern is read out, and the decorative symbol on the symbol display unit 6 is variably displayed in accordance with the read out detailed variation pattern while measuring by the timer 44. Then, with the reception of the confirmation command, the determined decorative symbol is confirmed and displayed on the symbol display unit 6. In other words, if the result of the “big hit lottery” is “big hit”, the display is confirmed in a big win decorative symbol display mode (for example, “2.2.2” or “7/7/7”) in which three identical decorative symbols are arranged. Let Further, if the result of the “big hit lottery” is “off”, at least one of the three decorative symbols is determined and displayed in a different decorative symbol display mode (for example, “1, 2, 3”).

  Then, if the result of the “hit lottery” is “hit”, the main CPU 32 displays a start demo for notifying the start of the “hit state” after the display of the decorative symbol and the special symbol, A “big hit state” is created which consists of intermittent opening over a predetermined number of times and an end demonstration notifying the end of the “big hit state”. On the other hand, if the result of the “hit lottery” is “off”, if there is holding information after the final display of the decorative symbol and the special symbol, determination of the result of the “hit lottery” for the oldest holding information, etc. If the holding information does not exist, the “successful lottery” and the determination of the result are executed by winning the game ball to the next start winning opening 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17.

(Change effect of symbol variation pattern during symbol variation)
Here, during the variation of the decorative symbol on the symbol display unit 6 as the main part of the present invention, the effect of switching the variation display effect from the display effect using the normal decorative symbol to the display effect using the specific decorative symbol. explain.
As described above, when the acquired value of the c counter is stored as hold information, the main CPU 32 once determines whether or not the result of the “hit lottery” relating to the hold information is “hit” as a pre-reading determination. The pre-read information including the result of the pre-read determination and the number of hold based on the hold information are transmitted to the sub-integrated board 41 as schedule information. Note that the information stored as the hold information is only the acquired numerical value, and the jackpot determination is executed again when the hold information is consumed, and the above control such as the transmission of the start command is executed.

  On the other hand, the storage means 43 of the sub integrated substrate 41 is provided with a schedule information storage area 47 for storing the received schedule information. Then, when receiving the schedule information, the sub integrated CPU 42 stores the schedule information in the schedule information storage area 47 and lights one LED on the hold display unit 20 to increase the total number of lighting by one. Also, based on the reception of the start command, the oldest schedule information is deleted from the schedule information storage area 47, and one LED is turned off in the hold display unit 20 to reduce the total number of lightings by one.

  Further, the storage means 43 of the sub-integrated board 41 includes a specific symbol storage area (not shown) for storing a specific decorative symbol (specific symbol) displayed on the symbol display unit 6 only when a specific condition is established, There is provided a specific variation pattern storage area 48 for storing a specific detailed variation pattern (specific symbol variation pattern) composed of a detailed variation display mode of the specific decorative symbol, an animation effect using a moving image of a character, and the like. This specific decorative design is made up of numbers “0” to “9”, alphabets, kanji, symbols, and the like, and is different in shape, color, size, and the like from a normal decorative design. In addition, the variation time of the specific detailed variation pattern is the unit variation time (specific time, which is 4.0 seconds here), and the specific decorative design is variably displayed on the specific background display within the unit variation time. Then, a temporary stop display is performed in a predetermined display mode. The temporary stop display of the specific decorative design may be a display that completely stops the specific decorative design at the same stop display position as the final display position for final display, or the stop display is not stopped completely. The display may be such that the specific decorative design is slightly shaken from the position, up, down, left, and right. Further, the final display position and the stop display position may not be exactly the same position.

When the schedule information is received in the state where the normal decorative symbols are variably displayed on the symbol display unit 6, the sub-integrated CPU 42 executes the control as shown in FIG. 7 each time.
First, when receiving the schedule information created by the main CPU 32, the sub-integrated CPU 42 determines whether or not the result of the “hit lottery” relating to the current fluctuation display is “hit”, and is more digestible than the received schedule information. It is determined whether or not there is schedule information in which the result of the “big hit lottery” is “big hit” in the high priority priority schedule information (old schedule information) (S1). That is, the sub-integrated CPU becomes the big hit determination means 55. Then, if the result of the “big hit lottery” relating to the current fluctuation display is “big hit”, or there is schedule information in which the result of the “big hit lottery” is “big hit” in the schedule information older than the received schedule information If it is determined (YES is determined in S1), a normal decorative symbol is determined and displayed according to the control as described above without executing the control as described later (S2). That is, when the result of the “big hit lottery” relating to the current variation display is “big win”, the normal decorative symbol is displayed in a definitely decorative symbol display form. In addition, if there is schedule information whose result of the “big hit lottery” is “big jackpot” in the schedule information older than the received schedule information, the current fluctuation display and the result of the “big hit lottery” is “big hit” For variable display related to schedule information that has a higher priority of digestion than certain schedule information, the normal decoration symbol is removed and fixedly displayed in the decoration symbol display mode, and the schedule information that the result of the “big hit lottery” is “big hit” As for the variable display related to the above, a normal decorative design is fixedly displayed in a jackpot decorative design display mode.

  On the other hand, there is no schedule information in which the result of the “hit lottery” is “hit” in the schedule information older than the received schedule information, and the result of the “hit lottery” related to the current fluctuation display is not “hit” (NO in S1), whether or not to switch the display effect on the symbol display unit 6 from a display effect using a normal decorative design to a display effect using a specific decorative design It is determined by lottery using acquisition (hereinafter, this lottery is referred to as a rush lottery, and the winning probability of the rush lottery is 1/73) (S3). That is, the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the rush lottery means 56, and if the rush lottery result is unwinned (determined as NO in S3), the normal decorative symbols are displayed in a definite manner according to the control as described above (S2). That is, the display is confirmed and displayed in the off-decorated symbol display mode.

  On the other hand, when the result of the rush lottery is a win (determined as YES in S3), the remaining time of the variable display by the current normal decorative symbol (the time from when the schedule information is received until the decorative symbol is fixedly displayed) Whether or not is longer than the unit variation time (S4). In other words, the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the remaining time confirmation means 57, and if the remaining time does not reach the unit variation time (determined as NO in S4), the current variation display is fixed with a normal decoration pattern (out-of-bound decoration pattern display mode). Display (S5). Thereafter, the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the display mode switching means 58, and with the reception of the start command related to the schedule information with the highest priority for digestion, the decorative symbol displayed on the symbol display unit 6 is changed to the specific decorative symbol and specified. In accordance with the specific detailed variation pattern read from the variation pattern storage area 48, the specific decorative design is displayed in a variable manner and stopped (S6). On the other hand, if the remaining time remains longer than the unit variation time (determined as YES in S4), the time until the display is confirmed in the current variation display is a natural number times (1 to 7 times) the unit variation time. After the timing closest to the present time is set as the switching timing (S7), the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the display mode switching means 58 at the switching timing, and the decorative symbol displayed on the symbol display unit 6 is the normal ornament. While changing from a design to a specific decorative design, the specific decorative design is variably displayed and temporarily stopped according to the specific detailed variation pattern read from the specific variation pattern storage area 48 (S6). When the display effect on the symbol display unit 6 is switched to the specific detailed variation pattern as described above, at least the variation display related to the schedule information won in the entry lottery (that is, the schedule information won in the entry lottery). The display effect according to the specific detailed variation pattern stored in the specific variation pattern storage area 48 is continued. In addition, since the sub integrated CPU 42 executes the process from the reception of the schedule information to the confirmation of the remaining time within a very short time, the timing for checking the remaining time is assumed to be the same as the timing for receiving the schedule information. There is no problem. Further, when a confirmation command is received from the main control board 31 during temporary stop display, the specific decorative design is confirmed and displayed in the same display mode as the temporary stop display.

  Here, the display operation when winning the entry lottery will be described in detail. The current fluctuation display corresponds to the basic fluctuation pattern A, and the timing when the schedule information is received is 6 seconds from the start of fluctuation. If it is, the remaining time is only 2.0 seconds (i.e., NO is determined in S4). Therefore, with regard to the change display, a decognized command display is displayed by a normal decoration pattern with a confirmation command received after 2.0 seconds. A fixed display is made in a manner (S5). However, when starting the variation of the symbol related to the next schedule information (receiving a start command), the decorative symbol displayed on the symbol display unit 6 is changed to the specific decorative symbol, and the specific read out from the specific variation pattern storage area 48 In accordance with the detailed variation pattern, the specific decorative design is displayed in a variable manner and temporarily stopped (S6). That is, from the normal effect mode in which the display effect on the symbol display unit 6 is changed according to the detailed variation pattern stored in the normal variation pattern storage area 46, the specific decoration design is changed to the specific variation pattern storage region 48. The mode is switched to the specific effect mode in which the variation display and the temporary stop display are performed according to the stored specific detailed variation pattern. At this time, as described above, the specific detailed variation pattern is the unit variation time, and all the basic variation patterns have a natural number times the unit variation time. For example, the basic variation pattern of the next scheduled information is the basic variation. In the case of pattern C, the specific decorative design is displayed in a fixed manner in the display mode in the fifth temporary stop display after the display and temporary stop display of the specific decorative design by the specific detailed variation pattern is repeated five times. In other words, if the display effect uses a normal decorative design, an effect that stops display (determined display) through a long reach effect after the normal decorative design starts to fluctuate when one schedule information is digested. On the other hand, in the display effect using the specific decorative design, the specific decorative design is started to fluctuate and the stop display (temporary stop display and finalized display) is repeated five times as the schedule information is digested. It will be. Therefore, for the player, the number of holds displayed on the hold display unit 20 and the number of symbol changes in the symbol display unit 6 do not match, and multiple changes are displayed in one hold. You will get the impression that you are. And the display effect by the said specific detailed fluctuation pattern is continued until at least the fluctuation display related to the schedule information won in the rush lottery.

  Further, if the current fluctuation display corresponds to the basic fluctuation pattern B and the timing at which the schedule information is received is 3.0 seconds from the start of the fluctuation, the remaining time is 9.0 seconds (ie, (S4 is determined as YES), so that the timing until the confirmation display becomes 8.0 seconds (timing to shift from the common variation effect to the first reach variation effect after the reach determination) from the normal effect mode to the specific effect At the switching timing for switching to the mode (S7), the decorative symbol is set as the specific decorative symbol at the switching timing, and the variation display and temporary stop display of the specific ornamental symbol by the specific detail variation pattern are repeated twice in 8.0 seconds. (S6) After that, upon receipt of the confirmation command, the specific decorative design is confirmed and displayed in the display mode in the second temporary stop display. When the next start command is received, the variable display related to the schedule information with the highest digestion priority is started. This variable display is specified by the specific detailed fluctuation pattern according to the basic fluctuation pattern as described above. This is an effect that repeats the decorative pattern variation display and temporary stop display. That is, the display effect by the specific detailed fluctuation pattern switched during the current fluctuation display is continued until at least the fluctuation display related to the schedule information won in the entry lottery.

  Further, if the current fluctuation display corresponds to the basic fluctuation pattern D and the timing at which the schedule information is received is 25 seconds from the start of the fluctuation, the remaining time is 7 seconds (ie, YES is determined in S4). Therefore, the timing at which the time until the confirmation display becomes 4.0 seconds (timing during execution of the third reach variation effect after the reach is determined) is set as the switching timing for switching from the normal effect mode to the specific effect mode ( S7) At the switching timing, the decorative symbol is set as the specific decorative symbol, and the variation display and temporary stop display of the specific ornamental symbol by the specific detail variation pattern are executed once for 4.0 seconds (S6), and then the first time The specific decorative design is fixedly displayed with the display mode in the temporary stop display. That is, in the symbol display unit 6, the decorative design suddenly switches to the specific decorative design during a so-called super reach effect, and a display effect with a specific detailed variation pattern that is completely different from the super reach effect is executed.

  When the variable display and the temporary stop display are repeated, the display mode of the specific decorative symbol at the time of the temporary stop display is a deviated specific decorative symbol display mode in which, for example, at least one of the three specific decorative symbols is different. ing. In addition, when the result of the “big hit lottery” related to the schedule information won in the rush lottery is “big hit”, the display mode of the specific decorative design at the time of the last temporary stop display in the variable display related to the schedule information, that is, the schedule What is necessary is just to make the stop display aspect of the specific decoration design in the timing which receives the confirmation command which concerns on digestion of information into the jackpot specific decoration design display aspect which arranges the same specific decoration design, for example. At this time, not only the display mode in the last temporary stop display but also the display mode in the temporary stop display in the middle is changed to the jackpot specific decorative symbol display mode, and the temporary stop display may be repeated in the jackpot specific decorative symbol display mode. . Furthermore, the decorative design is changed from the specific decorative design to the normal decorative design at the timing when the reach is determined based on the normal detailed variation pattern (that is, the timing of transition from the common variation effect to the first to third reach variation effects). It is also possible to change the display effect so that the display effect is switched from the specific detailed variation pattern to the normal detailed variation pattern.

  Next, after winning the rush lottery, each time the schedule information is received during the variable display of the decorative symbol (which can occur either normal / specific depending on the timing) in the symbol display unit 6, as shown in FIG. Execute control. Further, it is determined by the control as shown in FIG. 9 whether or not to continue the change display with the specific detailed change pattern related to the schedule information generated by winning the entry lottery.

  First, after winning the entry lottery, the sub-integration CPU 42 receives the schedule information while the decorative display of the decorative symbol is displayed on the symbol display unit 6, and the result of the “big hit lottery” is displayed on the schedule information older than the received schedule information. It is determined whether or not there is schedule information that is “big hit” (S11). In other words, the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the jackpot determining means 55, and when it is determined that the schedule information older than the received schedule information includes the schedule information with the result of the “big hit lottery” being “big hit” (determined as YES in S11). Then, the control is terminated without executing control as described later. On the other hand, if it is determined that the schedule information older than the received schedule information does not include the schedule information with the result of “big hit lottery” being “big hit” (determined NO in S11), this time, the received schedule information It is determined whether or not the result of the “hit lottery” is “hit” (S12). In other words, when the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the jackpot determination means 55 again and determines that the result of the “hit lottery” is not “hit” (determined NO in S12), the display effect with the specific detailed variation pattern is added to the scheduled information. Whether or not to continue to display such fluctuation is determined by lottery using random number acquisition or the like (hereinafter, this lottery is referred to as continuous lottery, and the winning probability of the continuous lottery is 1/8) (S13). ). In other words, if the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the continuous lottery means 59 and the result of the continuous lottery is non-winning (determined as NO in S13), the fact is included in the schedule information and stored in the schedule information storage area 47 ( After S14), the process ends. In addition to the continuous lottery, the same rush lottery as in S2 is performed at the same timing as the continuous lottery (that is, the lottery as the rush lottery means 56 is also executed in S13), and the result of the rush lottery is also in S14. It is included in the schedule information.

  On the other hand, if the result of the continuous lottery is winning (YES in S13), the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the schedule information rewriting means 54. If the result of the continuous lottery is non-winning for the schedule information older than itself, the result of the continuous lottery And the fact that the result of the continuous lottery is a win is included in the schedule information and stored in the schedule information storage area 47 (S15), and the process ends. Further, when it is determined in S12 that the result of the “big hit lottery” relating to the schedule information is “big hit”, the same control as that in the case where the continuous lottery result is a win is executed. That is, the process proceeds to S15, where the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the schedule information rewriting means 54, and if the result of the continuous lottery is not won for the schedule information older than itself, the result of the continuous lottery is rewritten to the win and the self is continued. The fact that the lottery result is a win is included in the schedule information and stored in the schedule information storage area 47. Therefore, when it is determined that the result of the “big hit lottery” related to the schedule information is “big hit”, it can be said that the result of the continuous lottery is won unconditionally.

  Then, the sub-integrated CPU 42 determines whether or not there is schedule information to be digested next when the fluctuation display in the specific detailed fluctuation pattern related to the schedule information won in the rush lottery ends (that is, when the confirmation command is received). Confirm (S21). That is, if the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the schedule information confirmation means 53 and there is schedule information to be digested (determined as YES in S21), the continuous lottery of the schedule information to be digested this time is received with the reception of the start command related to the schedule information. The result is confirmed (S22). That is, when the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the schedule information confirmation unit 53 again and the result of the continuous lottery is a win (determined as YES in S22), the variation display related to the schedule information is also identified using the specific decorative design. The display effect with the detailed variation pattern is continued (S23), and the process returns to S21 again with the reception of the confirmation command related to the schedule information.

  On the other hand, if the result of the continuous lottery is non-winning (determined as NO in S22), the result of the rush lottery related to the scheduled information to be digested this time is confirmed (S24). That is, if the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the schedule information confirmation unit 53 again and the result of the rush lottery is a win (determined as YES in S24), the variable display related to the schedule information is the same as in the case where YES is determined in S22. The display effect with the specific detailed variation pattern using the specific decorative design is continued (S23), and the process returns to S21 again with the reception of the confirmation command related to the schedule information. On the other hand, if the result of the rush lottery is non-winning (determined as NO in S24), the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the display mode switching means 58, and the decorative symbol displayed on the symbol display unit 6 is changed from the specific decorative symbol to the normal decorative symbol. In addition, the display returns to the normal display effect in which the decorative design is variably displayed and confirmed according to the detailed variation pattern read from the normal variation pattern storage area 46 (S25).

  Further, when there is no schedule information to be digested next (when it is determined NO in S21), the symbol display unit 6 continues the stop display (stop display with the display mode confirmed display) as the specific decorative symbol, With the reception of the schedule information transmitted from the main CPU 32 when the game ball has won the start winning opening 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17, the sub-integrated CPU 42 becomes the entry lottery means 56 and the same entry lottery as described above. Is executed (S26). In S24, the result of the rush lottery is confirmed, and the same control as described above is executed depending on whether the rush lottery is successful or not.

  Here, the display operation based on the result of the continuous lottery or the rush lottery, the presence or absence of schedule information, and the like will be specifically described. For example, let us consider a situation in which there are two holds (that is, two schedule information), and the results of both of the schedule information are out of place for both the “big hit lottery” and the continuous lottery. In this situation, when the game ball further wins the start winning opening 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17, the jackpot determination and the continuous lottery are executed for the schedule information related to the prize (S12, S13). If the result of the “big hit lottery” is “big hit” or the continuous lottery is a win, the continuous lottery result is rewritten into a win for two schedule information with high priority of digestion (S15), at least these three The display effect in the specific detailed variation pattern using the specific decorative design is continued until the variation display related to the eye schedule information is completed (S21 to S23).

  In addition, after the acquisition of the third schedule information, there is no change display relating to the third schedule information without winning the game ball at the start winning opening 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17 once. When the process ends (the situation is determined as NO in S21), the stop display with the specific decorative pattern is continued with the background used in the specific detailed variation pattern until the next new winning occurs. Note that the sub-integrated CPU 42 pre-reads whether or not there is schedule information that must be digested next during the current fluctuation display effect, and ends the current fluctuation display without the schedule information. In the last specific detailed variation pattern in the current variation display, an animation for closing the door is added. Therefore, the display mode is such that the specific decorative symbol is stopped and displayed on the background display with the door closed. When a new winning occurs, an entry lottery is executed according to the schedule information related to the prize (S26). If the entry lottery is a win, an animation that opens the door is displayed, and then a specific decorative design is displayed. The display effect with the used specific detailed variation pattern is continued (S23). At this time, a message notifying the continuation (for example, “still more!”) May be additionally displayed on the symbol display unit 6. On the other hand, if the rush lottery is not won, the animation for opening the door is displayed, and then the display is returned to the normal decorative symbol variation display according to the normal detailed variation pattern (S25), that is, in the symbol display unit 6. The display effect is switched from the specific effect mode to the normal effect mode.

  On the other hand, when the continuous lottery related to the third schedule information is missed and the variable display related to the oldest schedule information is started before the next winning is made, the result of the entry lottery of the oldest schedule information (S22), and only when the entry lottery is won, the display effect with the specific detailed variation pattern using the specific decorative design is continued (S23). Note that the sub-integrated CPU 42 also pre-reads whether or not the next lottery of the next scheduled information is successful during the current fluctuation display effect, and when the current fluctuation display is terminated with the result of the continuous lottery being out, the same as above. In the last specific detailed fluctuation pattern in the current fluctuation display, an animation for closing the door is added. Then, when starting the variable display related to the next schedule information (here, the oldest schedule information), the result of the entry lottery is confirmed (S24), and if the entry lottery is a win, an animation that opens the door is displayed. The display effect with the specific detailed variation pattern using the specific decorative design is continued (S23). Also at this time, a message notifying the continuation may be additionally displayed on the symbol display unit 6 as described above. On the other hand, if the rush lottery is not won, the animation for opening the door is displayed, and then the display is returned to the normal decorative symbol variation display according to the normal detailed variation pattern (S25), that is, in the symbol display unit 6. The display effect is switched from the specific effect mode to the normal effect mode.

  In the state where there is no hold in the symbol display unit 6 and the normal decorative symbol is stopped at the fixed display, the winning of the game ball at the start winning opening 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17 is not made. In the case of occurrence, substantially the same control as S24 to S26 in FIG. 9 is executed. That is, the sub-integrated CPU 42 executes the rush lottery in response to the reception of the schedule information, and only when the rush lottery is won, the sub-integrated CPU 42 changes from the normal decorative symbol to the specific decorative symbol, and the symbol relating to the winning The variation display is a variation display by a specific detailed variation pattern using a specific decorative design.

(Effects of the pachinko machine of this embodiment)
According to the pachinko machine 1 that executes the control as described above, when a game ball wins the start winning opening 19 or the tulip-type electric accessory 17, the entry lottery is executed, and when the entry lottery is won, the symbol display unit 6 Whether to switch the display effect from the normal effect mode to the specific effect mode, and after switching to the specific effect mode, whether to continue the display effect in the specific effect mode across multiple schedule information each time schedule information is received In addition to running a continuous lottery to determine whether or not to win a continuous lottery, the lottery result of the continuous lottery in the schedule information that has a higher priority of digestion than the self is rewritten to win, and at least the continuous lottery wins The display effect in the specific effect mode is continued until the variable display related to the scheduled information. Therefore, the specific effect mode is likely to continue across a plurality of schedule information, and the timing at which the display effect on the symbol display unit 6 returns from the specific effect mode to the normal effect mode is not uniform. Therefore, the number of continuations of the specific effect mode is rich in variations, and a game that is less monotonous than before can be provided to the player.

  Further, when schedule information (that is, hold information) is generated during decorative display of decorative symbols in the normal effect mode, the remaining time related to the variable display is confirmed along with the execution of the rush lottery. If the entry lottery is won and the remaining time is equal to or longer than the specific time (predetermined unit fluctuation time in the embodiment), the display effect on the symbol display unit 6 is changed from the normal effect mode to the specific effect during the change display. Switch to mode. Accordingly, it is possible to provide an unprecedented and novel effect that the display effect on the symbol display unit 6 is suddenly switched to the specific effect mode during the variation of the normal decorative symbol. In addition, the display effect in the symbol display unit 6 can be switched from the normal effect mode to the specific effect mode even when there is only one hold number. Is likely to occur (as a result, a switching effect is likely to appear), and the pachinko machine 1 having high gaming properties can be obtained.

  Furthermore, if the fluctuation time of the specific detailed fluctuation pattern is the unit fluctuation time, and the remaining time is equal to or longer than the unit fluctuation time, the symbol display is performed at the timing when the time until the final display becomes the natural number N times the unit fluctuation time. The display effect in the unit 6 is switched from the normal effect mode to the specific effect mode, and the specific detailed variation pattern, and thus the specific decorative design, the variable display and the temporary stop display are repeated N times. Therefore, since the timing at which the display effect in the symbol display unit 6 is switched is different based on the timing at which the schedule information is acquired, the preference is further increased, and the number of holds in the hold display unit 20 varies and the variation in specific decorative symbols. A new display effect that the number of times does not match can be provided to the player.

  In addition, since the variation time of the basic variation patterns A to D is a natural number N times the unit variation time, which is a specific time, for example, after switching to the specific effect mode, a plurality of display effects in the specific effect mode are displayed. When continuing to win a prize, or when switching to the specific effect mode at the start of symbol variation, it is possible to easily cope with this by simply determining the number of repetitions of variation display and temporary stop display of the specific decorative symbol. .

(Modifications of the present invention)
The configuration related to the pachinko machine of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and the configuration of the entire pachinko machine, the content of the big hit state and the game state after the end of the big win state, and the control mechanism About the structure which concerns on, etc., it can change suitably as needed in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention.

  In the above embodiment, the winning probabilities for the rush lottery and the continuous lottery are made uniform, but the winning probabilities for the rush lottery and the continuous lottery may be changed according to the number of changes in the special symbol. That is, for example, after the power is turned on or after the end of the “hit state”, when the special symbol variation start count reaches the 71st time, the winning probability of the rush lottery is greatly improved. If the improvement state is continued and the display effect is returned to the normal detailed variation pattern at the 91st time, the winning probability of the rush lottery may be set to a low probability. Then, when the special symbol variation start count reaches the 131st time, it can be considered that the winning probability of the rush lottery is greatly improved again. Further, if the display effect by the specific detailed variation pattern is continued at the 91st time and finally continues until the 93rd time, the control that greatly improves the winning probability of the rush lottery again from the 134th time instead of the 131st time. The control may be such that the winning probability of the rush lottery is improved over a predetermined period every predetermined number of times after the display effect by the specific detailed variation pattern is finished. Needless to say, the winning probability of the rush lottery or the continuous lottery is not limited to the probability of the above embodiment.

  In the above embodiment, the specific detailed variation pattern has only one type of variation time that is a unit variation time, but the variation time pattern that is used when switching during symbol variation is a specific time, A plurality of types of specific detailed variation patterns having different variation times corresponding to the types of basic variation patterns used during the continuation may be provided. In this case, there is no problem even if the specific time of the change pattern at the time of switching is made to correspond to the change time of the predetermined basic change pattern and the change pattern at the time of switching is used continuously.

Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the fluctuation time is longer than twice the unit fluctuation time in all basic fluctuation patterns, but the basic fluctuation whose fluctuation time is the same as the unit fluctuation time (ie, 1 time). A pattern may be set. For example, when the number of holds reaches a maximum value, such a basic variation pattern may be selected.
Furthermore, for example, when a winning to the start winning opening 19 occurs in a situation where there is no holding information, in the above embodiment, when winning the entry lottery, the variation starts with the specific decorative symbol from the start of the symbol variation. However, instead of this, it may be switched to a display effect that repeats the change display and the temporary stop display by the specific decorative design according to the specific detailed change pattern after a lapse of a predetermined time from the start of the change of the design.

In addition, the display effect based on the specific detailed variation pattern is not continued until the finalized display is displayed, but the display effect is restored to the normal decorative design according to the detailed variation pattern until the finalized display is achieved. May be.
Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when the entry lottery is won, the number of repetitions of the variation display and temporary stop display of the specific decorative symbol is determined according to the remaining time, but not only according to the remaining time but also according to the symbol variation time So that the number of repetitions is determined (for example, if the symbol variation time is 20 seconds, it is repeated only twice no matter how much the remaining time is, and only when the symbol variation time is 32 seconds) It is also possible to repeat three or more times.

  Further, in the above embodiment, it is determined whether or not the schedule information older than the schedule information received in S1 includes the schedule information with the result of the “big hit lottery” being “big hit”, and based on the determination result It is decided whether or not to execute the lottery, but even if the schedule information older than the received schedule information contains the schedule information with the result of the “big hit lottery” being “big hit”, the inrush lottery is executed In the case of winning, the display effect on the symbol display unit is switched to the display effect according to the specific detailed variation pattern. That is, in S1, the schedule information older than the received schedule information is displayed as “big hit lottery”. It is also possible to configure so as not to make a determination as to whether or not there is schedule information whose result is “big hit”. If the plan information that is older than the received schedule information includes the plan information with the result of the “big hit lottery” as “big hit”, and if the winning lottery is won, the result of the “big hit lottery” The display effect based on the specific detailed variation pattern is continued until the variable display related to the schedule information is, and after the “big hit state”, the display effect on the symbol display unit is controlled again by the display effect based on the specific detailed variation pattern. You may comprise as follows. Alternatively, the result of the rush lottery or the like may be reset upon occurrence of the “big hit state” (that is, the display effect by the specific detailed variation pattern using the specific decorative design is terminated).

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the variation times of all the basic variation patterns are set to a natural number times the unit variation time of the specific detailed variation pattern. However, as described above, a plurality of specific detailed variation patterns having different variation times may be provided. It is not necessary that the fluctuation times of all the basic fluctuation patterns be a natural number times the unit fluctuation time of the specific detailed fluctuation pattern.
Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the hold display unit 20 is provided separately from the symbol display unit 6, but the number of holds is displayed on the symbol display unit 6 (that is, the symbol display unit 6 functions as a hold display unit). Can also be configured. Furthermore, it is determined whether or not the result of the “bonus lottery” relating to the schedule information received in S12 is “big jackpot”. If the result is “big jackpot”, the result of the continuous lottery is won unconditionally, Even if S12 is omitted, that is, even if the result of the “hit lottery” is “hit”, the display effect by the specific detailed variation pattern may end.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the control is divided into two control devices, the main control device and the sub-control device, but it may be configured to be controlled by one main control device, The main control device may be provided with a storage means having a specific variation pattern storage region or a normal detailed variation pattern storage region, and it is not necessary to create schedule information or the like when controlling by the main control device. The rush lottery and the continuous lottery may be executed using only the hold information.
In the above embodiment, the start command and the confirmation command are transmitted from the main control device to the sub control device. However, the confirmation command is not transmitted by using a timer of the sub control device. There is no problem.

Further, in the above embodiment, a pachinko machine that uses two types of symbols, a special symbol and a decorative symbol, is described. However, if the pachinko machine uses only a special symbol, the special symbol is displayed on the symbol display unit. At the same time, when the entry lottery is won, the special symbol may be changed to a specific special symbol (specific symbol).
In addition, all elements described in the claims, specification, and drawings of the claims may be single or plural unless explicitly stated in a limited number. The arrangement may be changed as appropriate. Further, it is a design matter that can be easily considered by those skilled in the art to configure each of these elements separately or as a single unit as appropriate. Therefore, in manufacturing the pachinko machine according to the present invention, the difference in the configuration within the above range was adopted only because it was not described in the embodiment, and the right according to the present invention was avoided. It doesn't matter.
