DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows the front of a gaming board 1 in a first-class pachinko gaming machine. In the drawing, reference numeral 2 denotes a symbol variation display comprising a liquid crystal display provided on the gaming board 1; 3, a normal winning opening; Gate 5 is a starting port. In addition,
The starting port 5 is provided with a pair of blades 6, and when a hit ball passes through the passage gate 4, the number of a normal symbol change display device (digital display) 17 changes, and when the number stops at a predetermined number. The blade 6 is opened and closed by the solenoid. Reference numeral 7 denotes a variable prize device having a large rectangular large prize hole provided below the start port 5. The variable prize device 7 is provided with an opening / closing door 8 which is opened and closed by the operation of a solenoid. Reference numeral 9 denotes a continuous winning opening formed in the center of the variable winning device 7.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a main part of a control circuit 10 relating to the present invention of the pachinko game machine. Reference numeral 11 denotes a start switch for detecting a hit ball hitting the starting port 5. The control circuit 10 includes a symbol control unit 12 for driving the symbol variation display 2, a symbol determination control unit 13 for driving the variable winning device 7, and a step-up signal or a step-down signal from the symbol determination control unit. The game step setting circuit 14 receives a game step setting circuit. The game step setting circuit is connected to a step display means 15 for displaying a game step and an audio output means 16 which operates when the game step changes.

In the game step setting circuit 14, for example, four stages of game steps 1 to 4 are set as described in the flowchart of FIG. Next, the operation of this pachinko gaming machine will be described. At the start of the game, the pachinko game machine is in the "game step 1" state, which is displayed on the lower portion 2a of the symbol variation display 2 as shown in FIG. It is set to 1/10. (See FIG. 3). In this situation, when a hit ball wins in the starting opening 5 and the starting switch 11 detects the hit ball, the symbol control means 12 operates and the symbols 1 to 9 and symbols such as ☆ ● ◆ ◎ ★ ▽ are displayed on the symbol variation display 2. The display is variably displayed so as to flow from top to bottom in three columns. After a few seconds, each of the symbol rows stops in the order of the left row, the middle row, and the right row. If the stopped symbol is a predetermined symbol (for example, one or more numerals “7” are present in the stopped symbol), the symbol is determined. If the control means 13 determines that it is a "hit", the winning process of the variable winning device 7 is opened for 6 seconds as a hit process of the "game step 1", and during that time, it is easy to win a hit ball into the winning process. At the same time, the display below the symbol variation display 2 is "game step 2".

In the "game step 2", the winning probability is 3/10, which is set to a higher probability than in the "game step 1". In that situation, a ball is hit in the starting opening 5 and the symbol variation display 2 similarly displays the symbols in a variable manner, and the stop symbol is a predetermined symbol (for example, one or more numerals “3 or 5 or 7” in the stop symbol). If there is), the symbol determination control means 13 determines that it is a "win", and opens the big winning opening of the variable winning device 7 for six seconds as a hitting process of "game step 2", and hits the big winning opening. At the same time, the display at the lower part of the symbol variation display 2 is set to "game step 3". If "win" is not determined, there is no such benefit and the game returns to "game step 1"
Since the display of the symbol variation display 2 is also "game step 1", the player has to try again from the beginning.

In the "game step 3", the probability of winning further increases to 5/10, and in that situation, a hit ball is won in the starting port 5, the symbol variation display 2 is displayed in a variable manner, and the stop symbol is a predetermined symbol (for example, The number "1 or 3" in the stop symbol
Or 5 or 7 or 9 "), the symbol determination control means 13 determines" hit ",
Variable winning device 7 as a hit process in "game step 3"
For 6 seconds to make it easier to win
The display of the symbol variation display 2 is referred to as “game step 4”.
If the hit is not determined here, the game returns to “game step 2” without this privilege, and the display of the symbol change display 2 also returns to “game step 2”. You will start from Step 2.

[0016] Then, in the "game step 4", the jackpot finally comes out with a high probability. That is, 1/10 is set as the jackpot probability, and in that situation, a hit ball wins in the starting port 5 and the symbol variation display 2 varies and displays. If the stop symbol is a predetermined symbol (for example, "777"), the symbol determination control means 13 determines "big hit".
Is determined, and the jackpot processing is performed. That is, the variable winning device 7 is opened for 30 seconds and ten large winning holes 12 in the opened state are hit by 10 balls, or the predetermined time limit 30 in the opened state
After a lapse of seconds, the so-called first round is over and the variable winning device is closed once. However, if a hit ball has been hit into the continuous winning opening 9 during the first round, the second round starts immediately. The variable winning device is opened. Then, when 10 hit balls are re-entered into the open winning opening or 30 seconds elapses in the opened state, the second round is over and the variable winning device is closed again.
If a hit ball has hit the continuous winning opening 9 during the round, the variable winning device is opened again immediately after the third round starts. In this manner, the variable winning device is continuously opened until the 16th round is performed on condition that a hit ball is won in the continuous winning opening during each round, so that the player can obtain a large number of premium balls.

If the symbol determination control means 13 does not judge the stop symbol as "big hit", there is no such big hit privilege and the game returns to "game step 3", and the display of the symbol change display 2 is also changed to "game step". Returning to "3", the player again challenges from "game step 3".

On the other hand, the flowchart shown in FIG. 4 is set so that the opening time of the variable prize device 7 as a process in the case of a hit becomes longer as the number of game steps increases from 1 to 4. However, this also makes it possible to facilitate the step-by-step prize winning. In this case, the winning probability in each game step may be set to be the same. In these embodiments, the variable winning device 7 is opened for a certain period of time when a hit occurs at each game step. However, when a hit occurs, the variable winning device is set so that the variable winning device is only opened and the variable winning device is not opened. Even if such a setting is made, it is possible to realize that the occurrence of a big hit approaches with time by step-up, so that the pleasure is greatly increased.

At the time of step-up, in addition to displaying numerical values in the lower portion 2a of the symbol variation display 2, a hit display on the symbol variation display, or a variation symbol display mode, or the symbol is displayed. You may provide and display a digital display other than a fluctuation | variation display. Further, when a game step such as step-up or step-down changes, the sound output means may be operated to output a sound or a sound effect from a speaker to notify the player.

[0020]

As described above, the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention is
A plurality of game steps are set, and in each game step, if a hit ball enters the starting port and the symbol variation indicator is variably displayed and stopped at a predetermined symbol, step up but if not stopped at a predetermined symbol, step When the symbol variation indicator stops at a predetermined symbol at the highest game step reached by continuing the step-down and the step-up, a big hit is brought and the variable winning device is continuously opened. Therefore, the process leading to the jackpot can be enjoyed by stepping up, and there is an effect that the interest of the pachinko game is greatly increased without always making the player tired.
