Description

The present disclosure relates to a gaming machine whose gaming state is switched.

Conventionally, as this type of gaming machine, it is known that after a big hit game, a special time is entered in which the probability of becoming a big hit is higher than in a normal time. Further, it is known that the special time ends when the specified number of times is reached, and the special time is extended when a big hit is drawn before the specified number of times is reached (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2015-08938 (paragraph [0036])

By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional gaming machines, improvement of taste in special time is required.

In the invention of claim 1 made to solve the above problem, when the first hit / fail judgment condition is satisfied, the first hit / miss judgment is performed due to the first hit / miss judgment condition, and the judgment notification effect for notifying the judgment result becomes a big hit. , A jackpot game is performed in which the first variable winning opening, which is normally difficult to win, becomes easier to win than usual, and after the jackpot game is executed, the probability of becoming the jackpot in the first winning / failing determination is maintained in a higher probability than usual. The special time is a gaming machine that enters the special time, and the special time ends when the number of times of digestion, which is the number of consecutive executions of the first hit / miss determination, reaches a predetermined number of times, and the number of times of digestion reaches a predetermined number of times. If the jackpot is hit by the first hit / fail determination before reaching the specified number of times, the number of digestions is reset to 0 and the special time is extended by the number of resets. In the gaming machine, the gaming machine is provided with a privilege granting means for granting a privilege according to points caused by the total number of digestions reset during one special time to the player.

According to the gaming machine of claim 1, since the player is given a privilege according to the points caused by the total number of digestions reset during one special time, the taste in the special time is improved as compared with the conventional case. Is possible.

A ball discharge button (not shown) is also provided on the upper surface of the upper ball storage unit 26, and by the operation thereof, the game ball in the storage recess of the upper ball storage unit 26 becomes a storage recess (not shown) of the lower ball storage unit 27. It is discharged.

The game ball housed in the storage recess of the upper ball storage unit 26 is driven into the game area R1 due to the rotation operation of the operation knob 28 provided on the right side of the lower ball storage unit 27. Further, by changing the rotation operation amount of the operation knob 28, it is determined whether to perform a left-handed strike that causes the game ball to flow down to the left-side flow-down region R2, which will be described later, or a right-handed strike that causes the game ball to flow down to the right-side flow-down region R3. Can be divided.

<About the game area R1>
As shown in FIG. 2, the game area R1 is entirely surrounded by the guide rail 12, and has a display opening 11H that penetrates the game plate 11 inside. Then, the display screen 13G of the display device 13 can be visually recognized through the display opening 11H. Further, a display decorative frame 23 is attached to the opening edge of the display opening 11H to regulate the game ball from entering the display opening 11H. The display decorative frame 23 divides the game area R1 into a left side flow area R2 on the left side of the display opening 11H and a right side flow area R3 on the right side. Further, an LED display unit 13P having a plurality of LEDs 13L is provided at the lower right portion of the opening edge of the display opening 11H.

A plurality of winning openings and a plurality of obstacle nails (not shown) are dispersedly arranged around the display opening 11H in the game area R1. Further, an out port 22 is provided at the lower end of the game area R1. Then, the game ball flowing down the game area R1 is taken into the rear side of the game board 11 through any of the winning openings or the out openings 22. Further, the entry of a game ball into the winning opening is called "winning", and when the game ball wins in each winning opening, a plurality of game balls (prize balls) are paid out to the storage recess of the upper ball storage unit 26. ..

The above-mentioned plurality of winning openings include a plurality of ordinary winning openings 21 which are pocket-type winning openings, first and third starting winning openings 14, 16 and a second starting winning opening which is a slide opening / closing type winning opening. 15 and a large winning opening 20, which is a winning opening of the transverse rotation opening / closing type, are included.

The plurality of pocket-shaped ordinary winning openings 21, the first and third starting winning openings 14, 16 are opened on the upper surface of the winning protrusion protruding from the front surface of the game plate 11, and the game balls can be won one by one. It is sized. The first start winning opening 14 is arranged in the center of the lateral direction H1 in the area below the display decorative frame 23 in the game area R1, and the third starting winning opening 16 is arranged in the lower right of the first starting winning opening 14. Further, a pair of ordinary winning openings 21 are arranged on the left side of the first starting winning opening 14, and one ordinary winning opening 21 is arranged on the upper part of the right flow area R3.

As shown in FIG. 3, the large winning opening 20 is arranged in the middle portion of the right side flow region R3 in the vertical direction. Specifically, the large winning opening 20 projects from the front surface of the game board 11 and opens on the side surface of the front duct 20D adjacent to the right side surface of the display decorative frame 23, and is opened and closed by the rotating door 20T. The rotating door 20T rotates about a rotation axis extending in the front-rear direction H2 along the lower end opening edge of the large winning opening 20, and normally takes an upright posture to close the large winning opening 20. Due to a big hit or a small hit in the hit / fail judgment described later, the rotary door 20T falls sideways to open the big winning opening 20, and guides the game ball to the big winning opening 20.

In the right lateral portion of the lower end portion of the display opening 11H in the right flow area R3, an inclined duct portion 95 having a width that allows the game balls to pass one by one is provided. Further, the end portion of the inclined duct portion 95 bends downward and faces straight down, and is connected to the common trunk flow path 94. Further, the common trunk flow path 94 has, for example, a hanging bell shape and widens downward. A throttle opening 94A, which is a terminal opening of the inclined duct portion 95, is arranged at the center of the lateral direction H1 at the upper end portion of the common trunk flow path 94.

As shown in FIG. 2, a winning unit 30 is provided in the lower right portion of the game area R1 located below the common trunk flow path 94. The winning unit 30 has a unit cover 32 attached to the front surface of the unit main body 31 shown in FIG. Then, the unit main body 31 is fitted and fixed in a through window (not shown) penetrating the game plate 11 at the lower right corner portion of the game area R1. Further, the unit cover 32 is overlapped with the inner surface of the glass plate of the glass window 10W, and the partition wall 33 projects from the rear surface. Further, the partition wall 34 protrudes from the front surface of the unit main body 31. Then, the partition walls 33 and 34 are fixed in a state of being sandwiched between the unit cover 32 and the unit main body 31, and a flow path through which the game ball passes is formed between the unit main body 31 and the unit cover 32. ..

As shown in FIG. 4, the lower right corner portion of the game area R1 is divided into first to third flow paths 91, 92, 93 by the partition walls 33, 34 and the like of the winning unit 30. The first to third flow paths 91, 92, 93 have a width in which the game balls flow down one by one, and the entry ports 91A, 92A, 93A are arranged side by side at the lower end of the common trunk flow path 94. It is placed and faces upward. Then, all of the game balls that did not win the large winning opening 20 (see FIG. 2) in the game ball driven into the right side flow area R3 pass through the common trunk flow path 94, and the first to third flow paths 91 and 92. , 93 is designed to flow into one of them.

As shown in FIG. 4, the first flow path 91 is sandwiched between a part of the partition wall 33 constituting the upper surface of the winning unit 30 and a part of the display decorative frame 23, and is the lower end of the common trunk flow path 94. An entrance 91A is provided at the left end of the portion. The first flow path 91 extends slightly in the vertical direction from the entry port 91A and then descends diagonally to the lower left.

The third flow path 93 is sandwiched between the partition wall 34 forming the right side surface of the winning unit 30, a part of the guide rail 12 intersecting the lower end of the partition wall 34, and the partition wall 33 facing them. Therefore, a ball entry port 93A is provided at the right end of the lower end of the common trunk flow path 94. Further, the entire third flow path 93 has an L shape with a part of the guide rail 12 as a horizontal side, and the game ball passing through the third flow path 93 rolls on the guide rail 12 and starts the third. It passes below the winning opening 16 and heads for the out opening 22.

In the second flow path 92, the entry port 92A is located at the center of the lower end of the common trunk flow path 94 in the lateral direction H1 and directly below the throttle opening 94A, and the discharge port 92B is directly above the third start winning opening 16. positioned. Further, the upper end of the second flow path 92 is a start gate 18 provided with a detection switch 18S for detecting the passage of the game ball. Further, the range extending from the middle position of the second flow path 92 to the discharge port 92B forms the rolling path 96, and the above-mentioned second starting winning opening 15 opens at the upstream position in the rolling path 96, which is usually the case. It is closed by the slide door 15T, and a part of the rolling path 96 is formed by the slide door 15T.

When the slide door 15T slides backward and the second start winning opening 15 is opened, the game ball on the rolling path 96 wins the second starting winning opening 15. Further, in the second flow path 92, as shown by the thick arrow in FIG. 5, the branch rolling path 96B that branches backward from the upper end position of the rolling path 96 and then joins the rolling path 96 again. Is provided. As a result, when the slide door 15T is opened, both the game ball on the branch rolling path 96B and the game ball on the rolling path 96 win the second start winning opening 15. On the other hand, when the slide door 15T is closed, the game ball passes through the slide door 15T and the branch rolling path 96B and flows down from the discharge port 92B toward the third start winning port 16.

<Right to judge whether it is right or wrong>
In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when a game ball wins a prize in the starting gate 18 and the first to third starting winning openings 14 to 16, a winning / failing determination right is generated, and the winning / failing determination is performed using the winning / failing determination right. Will be. The right / wrong judgment right is provided with a normal figure judgment right and a special figure judgment right, and the special figure judgment right is provided with a first right / wrong judgment right and a second right / wrong judgment right.

The normal figure determination right is generated when the game ball passes through the start gate 18 as "the establishment of the normal figure correctness determination condition", and the normal figure correctness determination is performed due to the establishment. The normal figure pass / fail judgment is displayed on the display screen 13G. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the normal symbol 13D, which is a one-digit number, is alternately switched between odd numbers and even numbers at the lower right of the display screen 13G. After the variable display is performed, the stop display is performed, and if the stopped display of the normal symbol 13D is, for example, an odd number is notified as "hit", and an even number is notified as "missing". Then, when the hit is made in the normal drawing success / failure determination, the slide door 15T of the second start winning opening 15 opens for a certain period of time, and the game ball is easily won in the second starting winning opening 15.

The first hit / fail judgment right is generated by winning a game ball in the first or second starting winning openings 14 and 15 as "the first hit / fail judgment condition is satisfied", and the first is caused by the establishment. A pass / fail judgment is made. The first hit / fail judgment is displayed on the display screen 13G. For example, three special symbols 41, 42, and 43 are variablely displayed on the display screen 13G, then stopped and displayed in sequence, and the stopped and displayed special symbol 41 is displayed. , 42, 43 are notified by a combination of symbols. Hereinafter, the effect of notifying the determination result of the first hit / miss determination right in this way is referred to as a “first determination notification effect”. When the hit / fail judgment is a big hit, the combination of the three special symbols 41, 42, 43 which are stopped and displayed becomes a big hit symbol combination (for example, doublet) which means a big hit, and in the case of a small hit, it is a small hit. It is a winning symbol combination, and in the case of a miss, it is a missed symbol combination meaning a miss. In addition, when the game ball wins in the first or second starting winning openings 14 and 15 while the first determination notification effect is being performed and while the big hit game and the small hit game described later are being performed. The first pass / fail judgment right for that amount is reserved up to a predetermined upper limit (for example, up to four), and the first pass / fail judgment right does not occur after that. Then, the reserved first pass / fail determination right is used in the order of occurrence (oldest order).

The second winning / failing determination right is generated by winning a prize in the third starting winning opening 16 as "the establishment of the second winning / failing determination condition", and the second winning / failing determination is performed based on the establishment. The second hit / fail determination is displayed on the LED display unit 13P. For example, after blinking a plurality of LEDs 13L to make a variable display, the blinking is stopped and the display is stopped, and the plurality of LEDs 13L at that time are lit. Notified by the pattern. Hereinafter, the effect of notifying the determination result of the second hit / miss determination right in this way is referred to as a “second determination notification effect”. Since it is extremely difficult for the player to decipher the lighting pattern of the LED 13L, the notification of the determination result of the second winning / failing determination right due to the winning of the third starting winning opening 16 is substantially performed. Equal to none.

If a game ball wins in the third start winning opening 16 while the second determination notification effect is being performed, or while the big hit game and the small hit game described later are being performed, the second of the corresponding amount. The right / wrong judgment right is reserved up to a predetermined upper limit (for example, up to four), and the second right / wrong judgment right does not occur after that. Then, the reserved second pass / fail determination right is used in the order of occurrence (oldest order).

Further, as described above, between the first pass / fail determination rights and between the second pass / fail determination rights, the determination notification effect is started using the pass / fail determination rights in the order of occurrence, and the first or second pass / fail determination right is started. The determination notification effect of the other right / wrong determination right is started regardless of whether or not the determination notification effect of one of the hit / fail determination rights is being executed.

The judgment results of the first and second hit / fail judgments include "big hit", "small hit", and "missing", and when the judgment result is "big hit", the special symbols 41, 42, 43 When the jackpot symbol combination is confirmed and stopped, the jackpot confirmation image described later is displayed on the display screen 13G. Then, after that, it shifts to a big hit game. Further, while the jackpot game is being executed, the jackpot game image is displayed on the display screen 13G. The jackpot game video is clearly different from the first determination notification effect, and is, for example, a video in which the character set in the theme of the game effect wins the game. On the other hand, when the judgment result is "small hit", after the special symbols 41, 42, and 43 are confirmed and stopped by the combination of small hit symbols, there is no dedicated image such as the large hit confirmed image, and the small hit game is immediately started. Will be executed.

When it becomes a "big hit", a big winning opening is made until either one of the specified opening time (for example, 29 seconds) or the specified number of game balls (for example, 10 balls) is won. A jackpot game is executed in which a round in which 20 is opened is performed a predetermined number of times. Further, in the case of "small hit", the small hit game is executed in which the opening time of the large winning opening 20 is shorter than that in the big hit game (for example, 0.5 seconds). Then, after the end of the big hit game, the game state is switched as described below, but the game state does not change after the end of the small hit game. For this reason, among the players of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when simply called "hit", it may mean only a big hit without including a small hit. Further, the specified number of rounds performed in one big hit game or small hit game is either 2 or 10 times in the big hit game (see FIG. 6), whereas it is 2 times in the small hit game. It has become. In the present embodiment, when a game ball wins in the big prize opening 20, for example, 10 prize balls are paid out for each winning ball, and as a theoretical value, 200 in the case of a two-round big hit. 1000 balls are paid out in the case of a big hit in 10 rounds, and 10 balls are paid out in the case of one small hit game.

The probability of becoming a big hit is the same regardless of whether the first hit / miss judgment right or the second hit / fail judgment right is used. On the other hand, the probability of becoming a small hit is extremely high in the hit / fail judgment by the second hit / miss judgment right (for example, 1/2), whereas it is 0 or extremely in the hit / fail judgment by the first hit / miss judgment right. Since it is low, it is practically 0.

<About the benefits of big hits>
In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, when a jackpot is reached, a limited number of probabilistic games, so-called special times (hereinafter referred to as “ST”), are executed after the jackpot game is completed. It has become like. In the ST of the present embodiment, the probability that the normal figure judgment is a hit does not change, and the probability that the special figure judgment is a big hit is higher than in the normal state (low probability non-time saving state). do. As shown in FIG. 7A, in ST, the number of consecutive deviations when the success / failure determination of the deviation is continuously performed after the jackpot game is completed is a predetermined upper limit number of times (for example, 154 times). Continue until you reach. Then, after the number of consecutive deviations reaches the specified upper limit number, ST ends and the normal state is entered. Further, if a big hit is made before reaching the specified number of times, ST for the specified upper limit number of times is given again after the big hit game is performed due to the big hit. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the probabilistic state is maintained as long as the jackpot is continuously drawn during ST.

In other words, in ST, the number of digestions, which is the number of consecutive executions of the first and second hit / fail judgments for which the judgment result is off, is reset to 0, and the reset number of digestions is performed. It can also be said that the minutes are added to the specified upper limit and the ST period is extended.

<About ST>
As shown in FIG. 8, during ST, the display screen 13G is switched to a different background image in the normal state, and the special symbols 41, 42, and 43 are variablely displayed in front of the background image. Further, during ST, the right-handed game in which the game ball is flowed down to the right-side flow area R3 is set to be advantageous to the player, and the right-pointing arrow 44 including the message "hit to the right" on the display screen 13G. Is displayed. Further, on the display screen 13G, the ST remaining number 45 indicating the remaining number of times up to the specified upper limit is displayed on the upper right, and the countdown is displayed as the hit / fail determination is exhausted.

When the ST is started and a right-handed game is performed according to the instruction on the display screen 13G, many game balls flow down from the common trunk flow path 94 to the second flow path 92 of the winning unit 30 (see FIG. 2). ). Then, since the slide door 15T of the game ball that has flowed down to the second flow-down path 92 is difficult to open in the highly accurate non-time saving state, it passes over the second start winning opening 15 and is sent from the discharge port 92B. It is designed to go to the third start winning opening 16. Here, the second winning / failing determination based on the winning of the third starting winning opening 16 is made to occur with a high probability (for example, 1/2) of a small hit as described above, and is small during ST. Hits are becoming more frequent. At the lower right of the display screen 13G, the number of points 46 acquired based on the small hit game during ST is displayed, and the number of points 46 is counted up as the small hit game is exhausted.

With the above-described configuration, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, as the number of times the ST is digested increases, the player can acquire more prize balls by small hits. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7B, when a big hit is made at a relatively early stage after the start of ST, for example, at the 10th time, in the present embodiment, there is a probability that the small hit is, for example, 1/2. Since it occurs, it becomes a small hit in 5 times, which is half of the number of digestions, and it is calculated that the prize balls (for example, 50 balls) of the small hit game for 5 times can be obtained. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7 (C), just before the end of ST, for example, if a big hit is obtained at the 150th time and a small hit is made at 75 times, which is half of the number of digestions, a prize for 75 small hit games is awarded. It is a calculation that can acquire balls (for example, 750 balls). As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the number of prize balls in the small hit game greatly differs depending on the number of times the ST is digested.

By the way, as mentioned above, as the number of times ST is digested increases, the number of prize balls due to small hits during ST increases, but the player wants to maintain the probabilistic state as long as possible, so the number of times ST is digested increases. As the number increases, you may feel impatient that the probable change state will end unless you draw a big hit. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, in the big hit confirmation video when the judgment notification effect during ST is a big hit, the larger the number of digestions during ST, in other words, the prize ball by the small hit game. The higher the number, the higher the appearance rate of the premier production is set, and the production that excites the game in conjunction with the uplifting of the player's feelings when a big hit is drawn while the end of ST is approaching. It is supposed to be. The premiere production can also be said to be a privilege for the player who has won a large number of prize balls by small hits during ST.

Specifically, a plurality of types of jackpot confirmed videos are set, and among these plurality of types, a premier effect having an extremely low appearance rate as compared with other jackpot confirmed videos is provided. When the game state is the normal state, the jackpot confirmation video is randomly determined by lottery when the first and second hit / fail judgment rights are generated, while in ST, the ST acquired by the time the jackpot is drawn. The data table of the big hit confirmed video is changed based on the number of prize balls in the small hit game, and the type of the big hit confirmed video is randomly determined based on each of these data tables. In detail, as shown in FIG. 9A, the appearance rate of the premier effect is gradually increased based on the theoretical value of the number of prize balls due to the small hit during ST, for example, the small hit during ST. If the number of prize balls is less than 500 (less than 50 small hits, less than 100 times of digestion), the appearance rate of the premier ST effect is set to 1%, and 500 or more and less than 600 balls (50 small hits). 5% for 60 or more and less than 60 digestions, 100 or more digestions, less than 120 times, 10% for 600 balls or more and less than 700 balls (60 or more and less than 70 small hits, 120 or more digestions, less than 140 times) , 700 balls or more (70 times or more for small hits, 140 times or more for digestion) is set to be 30%.

According to the above configuration, when the ST is executed and the hit / fail judgment is digested, the remaining number of STs 45 is counted down, and the number of prize balls increases due to the small hit game caused by the small hit, and the points are accompanied accordingly. The number 46 is counted up. After that, while the number of points 46 increases steadily, the player's impatience gradually increases as the number of remaining STs 45 decreases to "30 times" and "20 times". Then, when the ST remaining number 45 becomes, for example, "10 times" (in other words, the 150th digestion number), a big hit is obtained, and when the special symbols 41, 42, 43 are combined with the big hit symbols and confirmed and stopped, the big hit confirmed image is obtained. Is executed. At this time, it is calculated that the small hit is drawn 75 times before the big hit is assigned, and the prize ball of 750 balls is obtained by that, so the data table of the big hit confirmed video with the appearance rate of the premiere effect of 30% is set. Then, a lottery for the big hit confirmed video will be held. Then, when the premiere effect is drawn as the big hit confirmed image, the premier effect is executed after the special symbols 41, 42, and 43 are combined with the big hit symbols and the confirmation is stopped. As a result, the player feels the joy of being able to win many prize balls by the big hit and to continue the ST, in addition to being able to win many prize balls by the small hit during the ST. Moreover, since the jackpot confirmed video is a premier production that does not normally appear, it is possible to produce a production in which the uplifting feelings of the player and the excitement of the pachinko gaming machine 10 match.

FIG. 10 shows the main control unit 50 of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment. The main control unit 50 receives a detection signal based on the winning of each of the winning openings 14, 15 and 16, and acquires a random number value randomly generated by the random number generation unit 50A based on the detection signal. Then, information such as a hit / fail determination, a big hit type, a type of judgment notification effect, and a type of a big hit confirmed video is acquired from the random number value, and information about the effect is output to the effect control unit 51. Further, the main control unit 50 includes a plurality of counters, and counts, for example, the number of times of digestion of the hit / fail determination in ST by the counters. Further, the main control unit 50 calculates the number of prize balls based on the number of small hit games generated during ST.

The staging control unit 51 executes the staging process program based on the acquired information. Then, the corresponding data is acquired from a plurality of data tables including the display effect data table 52 based on the information such as the hit / fail determination, the big hit type, and the type of the big hit confirmed image, and is output to the display device 13 and the speaker 10S.
