Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a design in which a symbol is displayed on a variable display body provided in a special device when a hit ball hits a specific winning opening, and the displayed symbol is displayed. The right to open the prize opening opening / closing door is generated or extinguished if the pattern matches the predetermined pattern, and if the ball hits the starting prize opening during the right generation period, the prize opening opening / closing door opens and the opening of the prize opening opens. The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine that facilitates winning. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a hit ball wins a specific winning opening, a symbol is displayed on a variable display member provided in a special device, and when the displayed symbol matches a predetermined symbol. The right to open the prize opening door opens or disappears, and if the ball hits the starting prize hole during the right generation period, the prize opening door opens and the pachinko machine that facilitates the prize of the hit ball enters the market. Had been provided. In such a pachinko gaming machine, the display of the variable display has been controlled so that the appearance probability of the right occurrence symbol displayed on the variable display is always the same. [0005] Therefore, since the right generation state appears at the same tempo, there is a problem that the game has no intonation and the game is monotonized. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko gaming machine capable of giving an inflection to the appearance of a right generation state, thereby obtaining a player's interest. It is in. [0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, in the present invention, a pattern is displayed on a variable display body provided in a special device when a hit ball wins a specific winning opening, When the displayed symbol matches a predetermined symbol, the right to open the winning opening is opened.If the hit ball wins the starting winning opening during the right generation period, the opening door is opened. In a pachinko gaming machine that facilitates winning of a hit ball, a right is generated once in an initial normal state, and thereafter, a probability of appearance of a right generation symbol when a hit ball is won in the specific winning opening with this right extinguished. The variable display is controlled so as to be higher than the appearance probability of the right occurrence symbol in the initial normal state, and the appearance probability and the appearance probability of the right extinguishing symbol generated in the initial normal state are displayed. High probability
Variable display so that the appearance probability of the extinguished symbol of the right that occurred in the same state will be the same
A display control means for controlling the body is provided. In a normal game state, when a hit ball wins a specific winning opening, a symbol is displayed on the variable display, and if the symbol coincides with the right-generated symbol, a right-generated state is set.
Then, once the hitting ball wins the specific winning opening after the right occurrence state, the symbol of the variable display body is displayed again, and if the symbol matches the extinguished symbol, the right occurrence state is released. . Further, the probability that the right-generated symbol is displayed by winning a hit ball in the next specific winning opening is higher than the probability of appearance of the first right-generated symbol, so that the right-generated symbol is re-entered relatively quickly. The above-described repetition of the relatively early right generation state ends when a predetermined number of times of right extinction and right generation are performed, and the game is continued with the appearance probability of the right generation symbol being low again. As described above, in the present invention, the right generation state does not appear at a fixed tempo, and it is possible to prevent the game from becoming monotonous by giving the game inflection, thereby attracting the interest of the player. . Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The dimensions, materials, shapes, relative positions and the like of the components described in the present embodiment are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention only to them unless otherwise specified. , Is merely an illustrative example. As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment includes a variable winning device 10 substantially at the center of a gaming board 100 and a starting winning port 20 on both sides thereof. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the variable winning device 10 is provided with a specific winning opening 1 at an upper part thereof, and three segment display bodies 2a to 2c serving as variable display bodies are arranged below the specific winning opening 1. A special device 3 is provided, and below the special device 3, a rectangular winning opening 4 is formed. The winning opening 4 is provided with an opening / closing door 5 formed of a transparent synthetic resin so as to open and close the winning opening 4. Below the winning opening 4, a plurality (eight) of lamps 6 indicating the number of times the opening and closing door 5 is opened are also provided. A winning ball counter indicator 7 is provided inside the winning opening 4 and on the rear wall thereof. For this reason, the first state of the opening / closing door 5, that is, the state of the winning balls in the open state and the confirmation of the number of winning balls won only need to be paid attention to the winning opening 4, so that the player can concentrate on the game. In addition, since the door 5 is formed of a transparent member, the door 5
Of course, the number of prizes won during the previous opening can be confirmed even when the door 5 is closed. By the way, the game content of the game board 100 configured as described above will be described below. In an initial normal state, when a hit ball wins a specific winning opening 1, three segment display bodies 2a of the special device 3 2c are stopped to display numbers, and as a result, a three-digit number is displayed. Only when this three-digit number matches a predetermined three-digit number (for example, 777), the right to open the opening / closing door 5 of the winning opening 4 is generated (the probability of generating this right). Is 3
Lower because the two numbers must be aligned). When the hit ball wins the special winning opening 1 in a state where the right is generated, the left segment display 2a of the special device 3
Only the variable display again and then stop and display the numbers. The right is extinguished only when the displayed number matches a predetermined number (for example, 0) (in this embodiment, the probability of extinguishment of the right depends on whether the right is generated in an initial normal state. Is much higher than the probability of Once the right has been generated and the right has disappeared and the hit ball has won the specific winning opening 1, only the central segment display 2b of the special device 3 is variably displayed again and thereafter stopped, and the number is displayed. Only if this number matches a predetermined number (for example, 7) does the right reoccur (the probability of this right occurring is much higher than the probability of the right occurring in the initial normal state). Become). When the hit ball wins the specific winning opening 1 in a state where the right is generated, the segment display 2c on the right side of the special device 3
Is variably displayed again and thereafter stopped, a number is displayed, and the right is extinguished only when this number matches a predetermined number (for example, 0), and the state returns to the initial normal state. As described above, the special device 3 included in the variable prize winning device 10 shown in this embodiment not only displays the numbers for generating and extinguishing rights in different positions, but also changes the probability of generating and extinguishing rights. It is possible to do. In the above-mentioned game contents, every time a cycle of generation of rights and deletion of rights is repeated, the display position of the number to be generated and deleted is changed from the left segment display 2a to the right segment display 2c. The circuit shown in FIG. 6 is used as a specific configuration for sequentially moving to. To explain this, in a normal state, a high-level signal is always sent to the flip-flops 32a to 32c, and this high-level signal is used to variably display the segment display bodies 2a to 2c. Set 32c. The flip-flop set output is provided as an oscillation command signal to corresponding pulse oscillation circuits 33a to 33c.
In response, the pulse oscillating circuits 33a to 33c sequentially and cyclically numerically display the segment display bodies 2a to 2c including a plurality of light emitting diodes. Pulse oscillation circuit 33
a to 33c generate a pulse of a frequency for switching the display at such a speed that the numerical display of the segment display bodies 2a to 2c cannot be visually recognized by the player, and corresponds to the pulse generation output. This is given to ring counters 34a to 34c. Each time a pulse is input, the ring counters 34a to 34c sequentially add their count values by a numerical value "1", cyclically count the numerical values 0, 1 to 9, and correspond to coded signals representing the count values. This is given to the segment decoders 35a to 35c. The segment decoders 35a to 35c decode based on the count values of the corresponding ring counters 34a to 34c, and provide the segment data corresponding to the numerical values 0, 1 to 9 to the corresponding segment driver circuits 36a to 36c. The segment driver circuits 36a to 36c are provided with a plurality of transistors corresponding to the respective light emitting diodes included in the segment display bodies 2a to 2c.
Conduction is performed based on the display command signal from 5c, and the corresponding light emitting diode is turned on and displayed. In this way, the segment light emitters 2a to 2c change the display mode by individually and cyclically lighting and displaying the plurality of light emitting diodes. As described above, the segment display body 2 is always kept at such a speed that it cannot be visually recognized by the normal player.
Numerals a to 2c are variably displayed, and when a hit ball wins in the specific winning opening 1 in such a state, the winning ball detection switch 30 provided in the path of the hit ball winning in the specific winning opening 1 is closed. Therefore, for example, a high level signal is output to the winning ball detection switch 30.
And the flip-flops 32a to 32c are reset via the OR gate. Since the reset outputs of the flip-flops 32a to 32c are given to the pulse oscillation circuits 33a to 33c as oscillation stop command signals, the pulse oscillation circuits 33a to 33c stop the oscillation operation. For this reason, the ring counters 34a to 34c stop the counting operation and continuously supply the coded signals of the numerical values counted up to that time to the segment decoders 35a to 35c. For example, if the count values of the ring counters 34a to 34a are numerical values "1", the coded signal (0001) representing the numerical value "1" is supplied to the segment decoders 35a to 35c.
Instructs the light emitting diode corresponding to the numerical value "1" to light up, and continuously supplies a high level signal to the transistor corresponding to the light emitting diode. Accordingly, the transistors corresponding to the light emitting diodes included in the segment driver circuits 36a to 36c are continuously turned on, so that the current from the power supply VD continuously flows through the light emitting diodes, the light emitting diodes continuously emit light, and the segment is displayed. The variable display states of the display bodies 2a to 2c are stopped. When the segment display bodies 2a to 2c stop the variable display state, the segment display bodies are controlled based on the numerical values displayed by the segment display bodies 2a to 2c to control the variable prize winning device 10. Outputs of the ring counters 34a to 34c corresponding to 2a to 2c are provided to the determination circuit 37. The setting information from the setting unit 38 is given to the determination circuit 37. The setting section 38 sets predetermined numerical values of the segment display bodies 2a to 2c. Therefore, the determination circuit 37 sets the numerical values displayed on the segment display bodies 2a to 2c from the setting unit 38 based on the outputs of the ring counters 34a to 34c when the segment display bodies 2a to 2c stop the variable display state. A comparison is made with the given numerical value, and the judgment output is given to the control unit 39 for controlling the variable winning device 10. The control unit 39 includes the determination circuit 3
7 is the same as the numerical value displayed on the segment display bodies 2a to 2c and the numerical value (for example, 777) predetermined in the setting unit 38, the opening / closing door 5 of the winning opening 4 Generate the right to open. In this case, since the probability that the right occurrence symbol "7" is displayed on each of the three segment display bodies 2a to 2c is 1/10, the probability that "777" appears is 1/1000. If the hit ball hits the starting opening 20 during the period in which the right to open the opening / closing door 5 of the winning opening 4 described above is opened, the opening / closing door 5 of the winning opening 4 is opened. When the winning opening 1 is won, the numerical value is variably displayed only on the segment display 2a. Then, the variable display of the segment display 2a is stopped and a numerical value is displayed. If this numerical value is the same as a numerical value (for example, 0) predetermined by the setting unit 38, the opening / closing door 5 of the winning opening 4 is opened. The right to open disappears. The probability that the right extinguishing symbol “0” appears is 1/10. At the same time as the right disappears, the changeover switch 31 changes the segment display body whose numerical value should be variably displayed when the hit ball hits the specific winning opening 1 from the left segment display body 2a to the center segment display body 2b. . When the next ball hits the specific winning opening 1 also in the central segment display 2b, the numerical value is variably displayed, and the numerical value displayed on the segment display 2b and the numerical value predetermined in the setting unit 38 (for example, 7) ), The right to open the opening and closing door 5 of the winning opening 4 is generated. This right generation symbol "
The appearance probability of “7” is 1/10. The position where the numerical value is variably displayed at the same time as the right is generated is changed to the right segment display body 2c. Then, when the next hit ball wins the specific winning opening 1 again, the numerical value is variably displayed, and the numerical value displayed on the segment display 2c matches the numerical value (for example, 0) predetermined in the setting unit 38. The right is extinguished. The appearance probability of this extinguishing symbol “0” is 1
/ 10. At the same time as the right disappears, the state returns to the initial normal state. The variable display means and the display position changing means of the variable display may be constituted by a method different from the above-mentioned method, and the control thereof may be controlled by software using a microcomputer. As is apparent from the above description, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, once the right is generated in the initial normal state, and then the right is extinguished. Since the display control means for controlling the variable display body is provided in such a manner that the appearance probability of the right occurrence symbol when the hit ball wins the specific winning opening is higher than the appearance probability of the right occurrence symbol in the initial normal state. In addition, the right generation state does not appear at a fixed tempo, it is possible to prevent the game from becoming monotonous by giving the game inflection, thereby attracting the interest of the player.
