[Prior art]

Conventionally, a pachinko machine equipped with a variable winning device that is repeatedly driven to open and close under predetermined conditions when the display mode of a combination display apparatus having a plurality of display sections (generally three) becomes a predetermined jackpot display mode. Machines are being offered to the market. In such a pachinko machine, a plurality of sets of the big hit display mode of the combination display device are prepared, for example, in a case where all the same numbers among "0" to "9" are arranged. Was common.

For this reason, the appearance of the big hit state is limited to only a plurality of sets of numbers "Zoro eyes", so if a player plays for a long time, the player gets bored. There was a problem that it was easy.
In order to solve this problem, it is conceivable to increase the number of display modes that make a big hit. For example, it is conceivable to prepare many symbols such as special symbols in addition to numbers, and to set a combination of those symbols as a jackpot display mode so as to attract the interest of the player. However, when the number of symbols to be a big hit is greatly increased in this way, there is a problem that the types of the symbols to be a big hit become too large, and the display of the big hit is rather confusing and confusing for a player. 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 machine capable of greatly increasing a combination of jackpots without significantly increasing the symbols of jackpots. It is in.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the pachinko machine according to the present invention provides a pachinko machine in which when the display mode at the time of stop of the combination display device having a plurality of display units performing the variable display operation becomes a predetermined jackpot display mode. In a pachinko machine equipped with a variable winning device repeatedly driven to open and close under predetermined conditions, a plurality of sets of the big hit display mode are set, and a display at the time of stop after all of the plurality of display units perform a variable display operation. In the aspect, a display mode displayed on a display unit except one display unit is the same as the jackpot display mode, and a display mode displayed on the remaining one display unit is a display mode before and after the jackpot display mode. Control means for repeatedly opening and closing the variable winning device under a predetermined condition when a common display mode effective in common with the plurality of sets of jackpot display modes is provided. Is shall.

[Action]

At the time of stoppage after the variable display operation, one of the jackpot symbols having a plurality of sets of display modes (hereinafter, referred to as symbols) displayed on other display units except one of the plurality of display units of the combination display device. When the symbol is the same as the symbol of the type, and the symbol displayed on the remaining one display unit is the same type of the symbol as the big hit symbol displayed on the other display unit,
Since the symbols displayed on the plurality of display units are all big hit symbols, a big hit state is established as in the related art, and the variable winning device is repeatedly opened and closed under predetermined conditions. And one more
In the case where the symbol displayed on one display unit is a symbol before and after the big hit symbol displayed on the other display unit, and also in the case where it is a common symbol that is effective in common with a plurality of sets of big hit symbols. It is determined that the jackpot has been hit, and the variable winning device is repeatedly opened and closed under predetermined conditions. That is, in the pachinko machine according to the present invention, it is possible to greatly increase (at least four times) the combination of the jackpots without greatly increasing the number of types of the symbols to be the jackpot (only one increase). . Therefore, it is easy for a player to know whether or not a big hit has occurred, and the player can play the game with interest.

【Example】

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, a pachinko machine according to an embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a front view of the pachinko machine, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the pachinko machine with the game board removed, and FIG.
It is a rear view of a game board. In the figure, a metal frame 3, a glass door frame 4 having glass, a front plate 5 and the like are attached to a front frame 2 of the pachinko machine 1, and a game board 6 is detachably attached to a back surface of the front frame 2. ing. On the game board 6, a guide rail 8 for guiding a hit ball and defining a game area 7 is planted in a substantially circular shape. Near the center of the game area 7, a plurality of digital displays
A combination display device 10 having 9a to 9c is provided. This combination display device 10 is provided on the upper portion of a lower plate 18 described later, when digital balls 9a to 9c start variably displaying when a hit ball wins a starting winning opening 11a to 11c provided in the game board 6. The variable display state is stopped by the player pressing the stop switch 12 or automatically after a fixed time t ₁ (for example, 5 seconds). Note that the variable display of the digital displays 9a to 9c is "0" to
The numbers up to "9" are displayed as if they were rotating. Further, below the game area 7, a variable winning device 30 is attached. The variable winning device 30 is provided with an opening / closing plate 31 that is driven to open and close by a solenoid that is an electric drive source, and the opening / closing plate 31 is driven to open and close under predetermined conditions by a combination mode of the combination display device 10. It has become so. Specifically, when all of the display modes of the digital indicators 9a to 9c display the "same number", it is determined that the display mode is the big hit display mode, and the open / close plate 31 is moved for a predetermined time T.
(For example, a time set between 20 and 30 seconds), or until a predetermined number (for example, a number set between 10 and 15) of winning balls is generated, and the release is performed. When the winning ball that has won the opening / closing plate 31 turns on the V detection switch 32 (FIG. 3), which is a continuous actuating device,
The opening / closing plate 31 is opened again for a predetermined time or until a predetermined number of prize balls are generated, and such an operation is repeated a predetermined number of times as long as a prize ball wins in the continuous actor and the V detection switch 32 is turned on. I can do it. by the way,
In this embodiment, in addition to the above-described plurality of jackpot display modes, a combination that provides a jackpot according to the display modes displayed on the digital displays 9a to 9c is prepared. That is, among the three digital displays 9a to 9c, one of the plurality of big hit display modes is displayed on a predetermined or arbitrary two digital displays, and the remaining digital displays are displayed on the remaining digital displays. When the display mode before or after the one big hit display mode is displayed, or when the common display mode (for example, the symbol “A”) that is valid for all the big hit display modes is displayed. Is regarded as a big hit state. For example, when “7” is displayed on the two digital displays 9a and 9b,
When the remaining digital display 9c displays "6" or "8", which is a number before and after "7", and when the common display symbol "A" is displayed, it is also determined to be the big hit state. You. Of course, in this case, if "7" is displayed on the remaining digital display 9c, it is determined that the state is a big hit as in the related art. In other words, in this embodiment, when a slot from “0” to “9” is reached, a big hit state is determined, and the same type of numbers are displayed on the two digital displays, and the remaining numbers are displayed. When one digital display displays the numbers before and after the number displayed on the two digital displays, or when "A", which is an almighty display, is displayed, it is determined to be a big hit state. Is done.
Therefore, as compared with a normal pachinko machine which is in a state of big hit at the time of the slotted eye, the combination which becomes big hit by adding one special symbol "A" is quadrupled and greatly increased. For this reason, the player does not get tired of playing for a long time, and can maintain interest in the game. Also,
The combination of increasing jackpots is mainly the numbers before and after, so that it is easy to determine when a jackpot has occurred, and there is no confusion in the determination. Further, in the game area 7, winning holes 13a, 13b with windmill lamps,
The jackpot lamps 14a and 14b, the outlet 15 and the like are provided. On the surface of the front plate 5, an upper plate 16 for storing paid-out prize balls and supplying a hit ball to a firing position.
Is fixed. The front frame 2 below the upper plate 16 is also provided.
An operation handle 17 for adjusting the resilience of a hit ball and a lower plate 18 for storing prize balls that could not be stored in the upper plate 16 are attached to the front surface of the. On the back surface of the gaming board 6, a winning ball set protecting plate 19, which is a kind of a winning ball collecting cover board, is attached so as to be easily detachable. The winning ball set protecting plate 19 is selected to have a size enough to cover the passage of all winning balls discharged from various winning devices provided on the game board 6, and the winning device and the decoration device (decoration). (A lamp or the like) is housed inside to protect the wiring. Therefore, the winning ball collecting protection plate 19 is formed so as to have a depth width slightly longer than the diameter of the pachinko ball, and the sidewalls are integrally formed except for the lower portion. Further, on the back of the game board 6 above the winning ball set protection plate 19, the relay board 20 for relaying the wiring from the various winning devices and decoration devices described above is attached. Notch on upper side wall for wiring
19a (FIG. 2) is formed. As shown in FIG. 3, the prize-ball collecting protection plate 19 includes the V detection switch 32 provided in the variable prize device 30 and the number of prize balls received by the open / close plate 31 and prize in the variable prize device 30. There is also provided a 10-count detection switch 33 for detecting an error, and a small hole 19b facing a connection terminal for collectively connecting an LED lamp or the like (not shown) provided in the variable winning device 30. The wiring extending from the connection terminal is directly connected to the control circuit board box 40 fixed to the back surface of the winning ball collecting protection plate 19 via the relay board 20. In the control circuit board box 40, a control circuit for controlling all the gaming machines including the combination display device 10 and the variable winning device 30 is incorporated. The game board 6 configured as described above is detachably mounted on a game board mounting frame 21 fixed to the back surface of the front frame 2 as shown in FIG. That is, fastening pins 22a to 22d are protruded at appropriate positions on the game board mounting frame 21, and the fastening pins 22a to 22d pass through the through holes 23a to 23d formed in the game board 6. The game board 6 is engaged with and fixed to fixtures 25a to 25d (however, 25d is not shown) fixed to a mechanism plate 24 provided on the back surface of the game board 6 so as to be freely opened and closed. The mechanism plate 24 and the front frame 2 are simultaneously fastened and fixed. Note that the game board 6 and the mechanism plate 24 may be fastened and fixed to the game board mounting frame 21 by separate fixing members. The game board 6 is provided on the front side of the mechanism plate 24 facing the game board 6.
A winning ball collecting recess 26 is formed in a slightly smaller area and larger than the winning ball collecting protecting plate 19, and a window opening 27 slightly smaller than the surface area of the winning ball collecting protecting plate 19 is opened in the winning ball collecting recess 26. Have been. The winning ball collecting recess 26 is formed to have a depth width slightly longer than the depth width of the winning ball collecting protection plate 19. A well-known component, device, mechanism, or the like for paying out a predetermined number of prize balls corresponding to one winning prize ball is disposed on the rear side of the mechanism plate 24. Next, the control operation of the control circuit built in the control circuit board box 40 will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG. First, when the power is turned on, initialization is performed (step S1).
0) Then, the start counter is checked (step S20). The value of the start counter is incremented by "1" each time a hit ball wins the start winning prize openings 11a to 11c, and a maximum of four start prizes can be stored. And starting winning opening 11a ~ 11c
The check of the winning of the hitting ball is performed together with the display control of the digital displays 9a to 9c in a regular interruption routine (not shown). Thus, the value of the start counter in step S20 is judged not to be "0", also "1" from the value N of the start counter is subtracted (step S30), the timer t ₁ (e.g., 5 seconds) set (Step S40)
Thereafter, the displays on the digital displays 9a to 9c of the combination display device 10 are variably rotated (step S50). Thus, the display rotation digital display 9a~9c, the if the timer t ₁ is the time is up, or the player is carried out until pressing the stop switch 12 (step S60), either of the stop signal is derived Once, in turn, the timer t ₂ is set (step S70), then displays the digital display 9a~9c is stopped (step S80). Timer t ₂ is the game the symbol (number) when the value of the start counter is prevented from immediately resulting in shift to the next variable display when not "0", the digital display 9a~9c is stopped Is an interval time taken to make the user sufficiently aware, for example, about 2 seconds is set. If the timer t ₂ is determined to the time is up (step S90), firstly, the three digital display 9a
9c, it is determined whether the display mode displayed on the two digital displays is the first display mode, that is, whether the same number from “0” to “9” is displayed ( In step S100), if the display mode is not the first display mode, it is possible to determine that the mode is not the jackpot display mode by itself. On the other hand, when it is determined that the display mode displayed on the two digital displays is the first display mode, the display mode displayed on the remaining one digital display is the second display mode.
, That is, the same number as the number displayed on the two digital displays, or the number before and after the number displayed on the two digital displays, or a combination of all the numbers In step S110, it is determined whether or not the common symbol “A” is valid.
If it is determined that the display mode is not the display mode, the process returns to the first step S10. After it is determined in step S110 that the display mode is the second display mode, "1" is added to the value of the opening / closing counter (step S120), and the timer T, which is the opening time of the opening / closing plate 31, is set ( (Step S130), the 10-counter is initialized (Step S140), and the solenoid is turned ON to open the open / close plate 31 of the variable winning device 30 (Step S130).
S150). When the solenoid is turned on and the opening / closing plate 31 is opened, first, it is determined whether or not the winning ball that has won the opening / closing plate 31 has won the continuous actuation device and turned on the V detection switch 32 (step S160). If so, the V winning is stored (step S170). Next, it is determined whether or not ten winning balls have been won while the opening / closing plate 31 is being opened (step S180).
If not, it is determined whether or not the timer T has timed out (step S190). If the time has not elapsed, the process returns to step S160, and repeats steps S160 to S190. If it is determined in step S180 that the number of winning balls has reached 10, or if the timer T
Is determined to have timed out, a timer T ₃ (for example, 2 seconds), which is an interval time, is set (step S200). Thereafter, the solenoid is turned off (step S210), and the opening / closing plate 31 is closed. Then, V detection switch finishers opening and closing plate 31 is closed the timer t ₃ is also winning ball is continuously won game operating device until the time is up
It is determined whether or not 32 has been turned on (step S220). When it has been turned on, the V winning is stored (step S230). This is to determine whether or not the prize-winning ball that has been won just before the opening and closing plate 31 has closed has won the continuous role actuating device. Can be repeated. If the timer t ₃ has timed (step S240) determines whether there is a V prize stored is determined (step S25
0) If there is a V prize memory, the value of the opening / closing counter is set to “1”.
It is determined whether it is "0" (step S260). If the value of the opening / closing counter is not the set value “10”, that is, if the opening operation has not been repeatedly performed the set number of times, the process returns to step S120, and the process returns to steps S120 to S2.
Repeat 60. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S250 that there is no V prize memory, or if the value of the opening / closing counter is determined to be “10” in step S260, the big hit state ends and the first step S10 Return to As is apparent from the above description of the operation, the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment is determined to be in the state of the big hit when the number of slots from “0” to “9” is reached, and is further provided with two digital displays. The same type of number is displayed on the
When the numbers before and after the number displayed on the two digital displays are displayed on one digital display, or when "A", which is an almighty display, is displayed, it is also determined to be a big hit state. You. Therefore, as compared with a normal pachinko machine that is in the state of a big hit at the time of the slotted eye, the combination that makes a big hit by adding only one special symbol “A” is quadrupled and greatly increased. For this reason, the player does not get tired of playing for a long time, and can maintain interest in the game. In addition, since the combination of the big hits is mainly the numbers before and after, the judgment when the big hit is made is easy and the judgment is not confused. In the embodiment described above, the combination display device
Although the digital devices 9a to 9c are shown as the ten display units, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be constituted by a drum or a dot matrix display, and the number of display units is not limited to three. Further, the display mode may be any display mode as long as it is a pattern (for example, alphabets, katakana, the number of pictures, etc.) in which not only numbers but also a front-back relationship can be easily understood. Further, if the technical concept of the present invention is applied, it can be applied to a pachinko machine having a set of jackpot display modes. For example, when the big hit display mode is only the slotted pattern of “7”, a combination with the numbers “6” and “8” before and after that,
If the combination with the special symbol “A” that changes to the common symbol is also a big hit, the combination of the big hit is at least quadrupled also in this case.

【The invention's effect】

As apparent from the above description, in the pachinko machine according to the present invention, when stopped after the variable display operation, the display mode displayed on the display unit excluding one of the plurality of display units is a big hit display. The variable prize is the same as the mode, and when the display mode displayed on the remaining one display unit becomes a common display mode that is valid in common with the display mode before and after the big hit display mode and the plurality of sets of the big hit display mode. Since it is provided with control means for repeatedly opening and closing the device under predetermined conditions,
It is possible to greatly increase (at least four times) the combination of the big hits without greatly increasing the type of the display mode of the big hit (only one increase). For this reason, it is easy for a player to know whether or not a big hit has occurred,
You can play games with interest.
