DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko machine in which the profit given according to the content of a hit symbol is different.
The present invention relates to a pachinko machine in which a winning probability varies from a low probability to a high probability depending on a winning symbol.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various types of pachinko machines have been proposed which generate a profitable operation for a player when a stop symbol of a symbol display device for variably displaying various predetermined symbols hits the symbol. As this profitable operation, there is a pachinko machine that opens a big winning opening with a winning symbol, and in this kind of pachinko machine, when a hit occurs in a specific symbol, the probability of hitting is shifted to a high probability, and There is a method that employs a probability variation method that makes it easier to generate hits for a set number of times and enhances the interest of the game.

[0003] Here, in the pachinko machine of the probability variation system,
For example, when "2, 2, 2" predetermined as a winning symbol is arranged on the symbol display device, a large winning opening is opened as a normal winning symbol, and "7, 7,. When 7 "is lined up, open the special winning opening and shift to the high probability state as a specific hit,
A predetermined number of next hits are likely to occur. In this probability variation method, a certain number of high-probability states are set so that a predetermined number of high-probability states continue when a hit occurs in a symbol (specific winning symbol) that shifts to the high-probability state in the high-probability state.

[0004] Here, the player's interest in the game is first of all, whether it is a win or not, so that a so-called reach display is used in many pachinko machines in order to give expectations to the process of hitting and to enhance the interest of the game. Used on machines. That is, when displaying the hit symbol of “7, 7, 7” on the symbol display device, or when displaying the loss symbol of “7, 7, 6”, the “7”, “7” After sequentially stopping the fluctuation in the symbols, the last symbol is slowly changed, and then the fluctuation is stopped in the symbol “6” or “7”.

[0005]

However, in a pachinko machine capable of continuing the above-mentioned high-probability state by a hit symbol, once the state is shifted to the high-probability state, the next hit can occur with a high possibility. The interest of the player changes from whether or not the hit occurs in a symbol that can continue the high probability state, to whether or not the hit occurs. For this reason, when the symbol "2" first stops on the symbol display device, for example, it is known to the player that no hit with the specific hit symbol can occur, and the interest in the game is spoiled. There were challenges.

[0006] The winning of opening the special winning opening and the opening of the special winning opening and transition to the high probability state are determined by the type of winning symbol (for example, the normal winning symbol "2,
(2, 2), the probability does not fluctuate, and when the specific hit symbol "7, 7, 7" is lined up, the state is shifted to the high probability state). was there.

Further, a specific hit symbol and a normal hit symbol are determined for each pachinko machine, so that one pachinko machine does not have a specific hit symbol on other pachinko machines, Conversely, in one pachinko machine, a symbol that is a normal hit symbol may become a specific hit symbol in another pachinko machine, and the player may be confused.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko machine capable of changing a process until a hit is determined and enhancing amusement of a game. It is in. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko machine that makes it easier for a player to recognize occurrence of a specific hit.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 1, 10, 11, 12, and 13, an outline of a game played by the pachinko machine of the first embodiment will be described. When the game ball wins in the first type starting port 21, the symbol display device 34 starts changing the symbol. Further, when a further prize is made while the symbol of the symbol display device 34 is changing, the number of winnings is stored up to four, and in a state where the prize is stored, after the display of the symbol display device 34 stops changing the display, the symbol is again displayed. The display change starts.

The symbol display device 34 includes a left symbol display unit 3
4A (hereinafter, referred to as a display section 34A), a central symbol display section 34B (hereinafter, referred to as a display section 34B), and a right symbol display section 34C (hereinafter, referred to as a display section 34C), as shown in FIG. Of the 15 types of numbers are vertically displayed in three variances, and when a preset time elapses, the display unit 3
4A, the display unit 34C, and the display unit 34B stop changing symbols in this order.

The display units 34A and 34 of the symbol display device 34
B, 34C, each of the 15 types of numbers 0 to 14 in a vertical direction, that is, the symbol display device 34 has a winning line 3
4a, the center line 34b, and the lower line 34c are displayed over three lines. Then, as shown in FIG. 11, the display unit 34A, the display unit 34B, and the display unit 34C
Is lost if the pattern of the upper line 34a, the center line 34b, and the lower line 34c is different.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10F, when the symbols of the display unit 34A, the display unit 34B, and the display unit 34C are equal in any of the upper line 34a, the center line 34b, and the lower line 34c (see FIG. 10F). At the center line 34b of the display unit 34

Even if 9.5 seconds have passed or the opening time has elapsed, the large winning opening 24 will be closed when approximately 10 game balls have won.
During the opening of the special winning opening 24, the special winning opening 24 is opened again when the winning ball passes through the specific area 25. It should be noted that the number of times of opening the special winning opening 24 is up to 16 times. Here, the winning symbol is “0,
Fifteen types of 0, 0 "to" 14, 14, 14 "are provided.

In the pachinko machine of this embodiment, a hit occurs in a low probability state and a high probability state. That is, in the low-probability state, the hit occurs at a probability of 1/377, and in the high-probability state, the hit occurs with a probability of 5/377, which is five times. Here, in the pachinko machine of the present embodiment, it is instructed by the value added line display frame 36 on the symbol display device whether or not a hit to shift to the high probability state has occurred. That is, as shown in FIG. 10 (E), the symbol line designated in the value added line display frame 36 (here, the center line 34b) wins “6”.
In the case where "6,6" has occurred (hereinafter referred to as a specific winning), the winning probability is shifted to the high probability state with the opening of the special winning opening 24. On the other hand, FIG.
As shown in (D), a hit has occurred (“6, 6, 6” in the center line 34 b), but this hit is a symbol line indicated by the value added line display frame 36 (here,
When it occurs outside the upper line 34a) (hereinafter referred to as a normal winning), only the opening of the special winning opening 24 described above is performed.

This variation in probability will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 13A, when a hit occurs at a specific hit (S1), the state shifts to a high probability state,
Thereafter, the high probability state is maintained until two hits occur, that is, until two hits (N1, N2) due to the normal hit occur. Here, as shown in FIG. 13 (B), the hit occurs at the specific hit (S1) and shifts to the high probability state, and after the hit (N1) due to the normal hit occurs, the hit (S2) due to the specific hit occurs. Occurs again, after this specific hit (S2), until two more hits occur, ie, hits due to normal hits (N1,
As long as N2) does not continue twice, the high probability state is continued.

Here, the operation of the game control device 50 for performing the game by the pachinko machine of the first embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. Here, a main processing procedure of the game control device 50 will be described with reference to a flowchart of FIG. 3 showing a main routine. First, the CPU circuit 57 determines whether or not the power is turned on (S102). Only the first loop immediately after the power is turned on proceeds to step 104, performs initial settings, and ends the main routine. Here, when it is determined that the power is not turned on (No in S102), a signal about a winning ball or the like from the 10-count switch 62 (see FIG. 2) is input, and input processing is performed so as to be used in another phase. (S1
06), output the edited output data to the input / output port 52
An output process for outputting to (see FIG. 2) is performed (S108).

Thereafter, a starting-port winning process is performed as a process for a game ball that has won the first-type starting port 21 (see FIG. 1) (S110). With this starting-port winning process, the symbol of the symbol display device 34 is displayed. A symbol variation process for determining whether or not a winning has occurred is performed (S112). Then, a special winning opening process of opening the special winning opening 24 according to a hit is performed (S114). Thereafter, the sound output process for outputting sound via the sound generator 58 is advanced (S11).
6) One cycle of the main routine processing is completed. The main routine is repeated each time a reset signal from the clock 56 is applied to the CPU circuit 57.

Here, the processing from step 110 to step 114 will be described in detail with reference to the subroutines of FIGS. First, the starting opening winning process in step 110 will be described with reference to a subroutine shown in FIG. First, the CPU circuit 57 determines whether or not a game ball has won the first kind starting port 21 based on a signal from the symbol start switch 61 (S122). If the game ball has not won (S122), (No at S122), the start opening winning subroutine ends. On the other hand, when the game ball has won (S122: Yes), it is determined whether the variable U is less than 4 (S124). Here, the variable U indicates the first winning in the first-type starting port 21 or the number of gaming balls that have won during the symbol change, and in this embodiment, the number exceeding 4 is held as described above. It is configured not to be. Therefore, when the variable U is 4 (S124: No), the subroutine ends. On the other hand, if the variable U is less than 4, (S12
4 is Yes), 1 is added to the variable U (S126), and the process ends.

Next, the symbol changing process in step 112 of FIG. 3 will be described with reference to subroutines shown in FIGS. 5, 6, 7 and 8. Here, when the game ball has not won to the first kind start-up port 21, that is, when the variable U
The processing when is 0 will be described. In the flowchart of FIG. 5, first, the CPU circuit 57 determines whether the symbol of the symbol display device 34 is changing (S202).
Since the symbol is not changing (No in S202), the variable U
Is determined to be 1 or more (S204), but since the variable U is 0 (No in S204), this subroutine processing is terminated.

Next, the processing after the game ball wins in the first kind starting port 21 and the variable U becomes 1 will be described. In the flowchart of FIG. 5, first, the CPU circuit 57 determines whether or not the variable U is 1 or more through the determination of 202 (S204). Here, since the variable U is 1 (Yes in S204), One is subtracted from the variable U (S206). Then, the symbol change of the symbol display device 34 is started (S208). Subsequently, the CPU circuit 57
Is a high probability state, that is, whether the high probability variable m related to the high probability state is 1 or more (S210).

If m is less than 1 (low probability state) in step 210 (No in S210), the process proceeds to step 212, where a low random number value is set. Here, the random number “0” in the random number of 376 frames from 0 to 376 shown in FIG.
/ 377 is set so that the hit is determined with a low probability. On the other hand, if m is equal to or greater than 1 (high probability state) in step 210 described above (Yes in S210), the process proceeds to step 214 and changes from 0 to 276 shown in FIG.
Random numbers “0”, “1”,
“2”, “3”, “4” are set as hits, and 5/3
It is set so that the hit is determined with a high probability of 77.

Thereafter, step 212 or step 21
4 is determined based on the random number set in S4 (S2
16). Here, when a hit occurs (S216
Is Yes), and a winning symbol is selected (S218). That is, a winning symbol is determined by selecting one of 14 random numbers from 0 to 14 shown in FIG. 14B.
And whether this hit occurs as a normal hit,
It is determined whether or not to generate a specific hit (S22
0). Here, the random number “0” in the random numbers of four frames from 0 to 3 shown in FIG. 14C is set as the specific hit, and it is determined with a probability of ４ whether or not the specific hit. Here, when the random number “0” is selected, the high probability variable m is set to “2” as a specific hit (Yes in S220) (S221). On the other hand, when any one of the random numbers “1”, “2”, and “3” is selected, the process proceeds to step 222 as normal win (No in S220).

Next, a line random value L is selected (S22).
2). Here, as shown in FIG. 10D, whether the value added line display frame 36 is stopped at the upper line 34a (L =
1) Whether to stop at the center line 34b as shown in FIG. 10 (E) (L = 2) or to stop at the lower line 34c as shown in FIG. 10 (I) (L = 3), It is determined by selecting one of a few random numbers. Next, a winning symbol pattern is set based on the winning symbol selected in the step 218, the type of the normal hit or the specific hit determined in the step 220, and the line random number L selected in the step 222 (S223). . Here, in step 218, "6, 6,
If "6" is selected, a specific hit is determined in step 220, and if "2" to stop at the center line 34b is selected as the line random value L in step 222, the "6, 6, 6" In order to display the symbol on the center line 34b indicated by the value added line display frame 36 (FIG. 10)
(See (E)), the display units 34A and 34C have 5-
A random number “5” shown in FIG. 14D is set so as to arrange 6-7. On the other hand, the display section 34B has 7-6-5.
Is set to a random number “7” shown in FIG.

In step 218, "6, 6, 6" is selected as a winning symbol, a normal winning is determined in step 220, and in step 222, the line random number L is stopped at the center line 34b "2". Is selected, the symbol "6, 6, 6" is displayed below the center line 34b (that is, the lower line 34c) in order to display the symbol other than the value added line display frame 36 in FIG.
The symbol shown in (H) is set as a stop symbol. Further, when "6, 6, 6" is selected as the hit symbol, and the normal hit is determined, and when "3" to stop at the lower line 34c is selected as the line random value L, the "6, 6, 6" is selected. , 6, 6 "are displayed below the lower line 34c indicated by the value added line display frame 36 (here, the upper line 34a on the upper side), so that the symbol shown in FIG. Is set. Then, the winning flag is set to “1”, and the variable p representing the number of times the special winning opening 24 is opened is set to “1” (S224).

Next, the CPU circuit 57 operates the symbol display device 34.
The reach random number for differentiating the stop operation at the time of the fluctuation stop of the symbol is selected (S226). Here, either 0 or 1 is selected as the random number value (in the actual operation, more stop operations are set, but here, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that only two types exist. Continue). Then, the CPU circuit 57 sets the selected value as the reach variable r (S228). Here, the description is continued on the assumption that the random number value 1 is selected in step 226 and that “1” is set as the reach variable r in step 228. Then, the fluctuation stop time corresponding to the reach variable 1 is set in the symbol timer and started (S230), and the symbol fluctuation processing subroutine ends.

Here, when it is determined in the above-mentioned step 216 whether or not it is a hit, it is lost (S216).
(No) moves to the section B. The processing in the section B will be described with reference to FIG. First, the CPU circuit 57
Performs selection of a lost symbol on the display section 34A of the symbol display device 34 (S250). That is, as shown in FIG. 14 (D), one of 15 random numbers from 0 to 14 is selected. Here, the description is continued on the assumption that the random number “7” (the pattern of the numerals 7-8-9 in the vertical direction) is selected. Next, a symbol is selected on the display unit 34C (S252). That is, as shown in FIG. 14D described above, one of the 15-frame random numbers from 0 to 14 is selected as in the display unit 34A. Here, the description is continued assuming that the random number “7” is selected. Then, the CPU circuit 57 determines whether the symbol on the display unit 34A is equal to the symbol on the display unit 34C (S25).
4). Here, as described above, the symbol on the display unit 34A and the symbol on the display unit 34C are equal (254).
Is Yes), and then the process proceeds to a process of displaying a losing reach symbol.

First, as in step 222 of FIG. 5, any one of "1", "2", and "3" is selected as the line variable L for stopping the value added line display frame 36 in the stop symbol (FIG. 5). S255). Then, a symbol is selected on the display unit 34B (S256). That is, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4 (E), one of 15 random numbers from 0 to 14 is selected. Here, the description is continued on the assumption that the random number “6” (the pattern of the numeral 6-5-4 in the vertical direction) is selected. Next, since any number of the symbol on the display unit 34B is equal to any number of the symbol on the display unit 34A, it is determined whether the symbol is a winning symbol (S258, S25).
9, S260).

First, it is determined whether or not the symbol becomes a winning symbol because the symbol random number on the display unit 34A is equal to the symbol random number on the display unit 34B (S258). That is, for example, "7" (vertical 7-
When the random number “7” (the symbol 7-6-5 in the vertical direction) is selected for the symbol on the B display portion 34B in a state where the symbol “8-9” is selected, the upper line 34a is displayed. "7,7,
Since it is a winning symbol of 7 "(S258: Yes), the process returns to step 256 to select a symbol on the display unit 34B again. Further, a value obtained by adding 2 to the symbol random number for the symbol on the display unit 34B is displayed on the display unit 34A. Since it is equal to the symbol random number, it is determined whether or not a winning symbol is formed (S259), that is, for example, "7" (vertical numeral 7-8-9 symbol) is selected as the symbol random number for the display unit 34A. In this state, the random number “9 (7 + 2)” (vertical 9
-8-7), the center line 3
4a, the winning symbol is "8, 8, 8" (S2
59 is Yes), the process returns to Step 256, and the display unit 34 is again displayed.
The symbol B is selected. Finally, since the value obtained by adding 4 to the symbol random number of the display unit 34B is equal to the symbol random number of the display unit 34A, it is determined whether or not the symbol is a winning symbol (S26).
0). That is, for example, in a state in which “7” (the symbol of the number 7-8-9 in the vertical direction) is selected as the symbol random number for the symbol on the display unit 34A, the random number “11 (7+
4) In the case where "" (the symbol of the number 11-10-9 in the vertical direction) is selected, the winning symbol is "9, 9, 9" on the lower line 34a (Yes in S260), so that step 25 is performed.
Returning to step 6, the symbol of the display section 34B is selected again.

On the other hand, any of the selected symbols on the display section 34B (vertical numbers 6-5-4) correspond to any of the symbols on the display section 34A (vertical numbers 7-8-9). Therefore, if the upper and lower lines 34a, 34B, and 34C of the display units 34A, 34B, and 34C are not hit symbols (S258, S259, S2).
(No at 60), the process proceeds to step 262.

In step 262, a random number for losing reach to make the symbol stop operation different is selected. Here, either 2 or 3 is selected as the random number value (in the actual operation, more stop operations are set, but here, only two types exist for convenience of explanation). And continue to explain). And CP
The U circuit 57 converts the value of the selected value 2 or 3 into the reach variable r
Is set (S264). After that, the symbol variation time corresponding to the reach variable 2 or 3 is set in the symbol timer (S266), and the symbol variation process subroutine ends.

Further, in the judgment at the step 254, when the symbol on the display section 34A is different from the symbol on the display section 34C (No at 254), the process shifts to a process for performing normal loss display. Here, first, the display unit 3
4B symbols are selected (S274). That is, FIG.
With reference to (E), a symbol is selected in the same manner as for the display unit 34A described above. Then, the reach variable r is set to 4 (S2
76) Then, the symbol timer is set to the set time of the normal stop (S278), and this subroutine is terminated.

Here, the processing after the symbol change of the symbol display device 34 is started in step 208 shown in FIG. 5 will be described. When the symbol change processing subroutine shown in FIG. 5 is started, the determination in step 202 as to whether the symbol is changing is YES, and the process proceeds to the part C. The processing of the section C will be described with reference to FIG. Here, first, a case will be described in which the reach variable r is set to 4 assuming that the operation is a normal stop operation of a lost symbol. After the determination as to whether the line timer has expired (No in S301), the determination in step 302 as to whether or not the symbol timer has expired will be No until the stop time of the normal losing symbol elapses.
The processing of the unit is ended and the symbol is changed continuously. On the other hand, when the stop time of the symbol is reached, the symbol timer times out (Yes at step 302), and the CPU circuit 57 performs the determination at steps 303, 304, 308, 312, 316 (S303, 304, 308, 312, 316 is N
o), it is determined whether the reach variable r is 4 (S32)
8) Here, the determination in step 328 is Yes, the process proceeds to step 326, and the symbol fluctuation of the display units 34A and 34C of the symbol display device 34 is stopped by the normal off symbol stop operation (FIG. 11A). 11 (B), the symbol change of the display section 34B is stopped in step 327, and FIG.
A stop symbol as shown in FIG. 1 (C) is displayed, and the process ends.

Next, a description will be given, with reference to FIG. 7, of a symbol stop process in a case where no hit has occurred, but a losing reach has been made in selecting a losing symbol. Here, the description is continued assuming that the reach variable r is set to 3 in step 264 shown in FIG. After determining whether the line timer has expired (No in S301), the reach variable r is set to 3
When the symbol timer set in accordance with the value of the timer expires (S302: Yes), next, steps 303 and 30
After 4, 308 and 312, it is determined that the reach variable r is 3 (S316), and the process proceeds to step 318 to perform a symbol stop operation of the display units 34A and 34C by losing reach. That is, the symbol corresponding to the random number "7" (the symbol 7-8-9 in the vertical direction) corresponding to the random number "7" selected in step 250 shown in FIG. )), And further, Step 2 is displayed on the display unit 34C.
After displaying the symbol corresponding to the random number “7” selected in 52 (the symbol 7-8-9 in the vertical direction) and stopping (FIG. 11)
(See (E)), a reach display is performed in which the symbol change speed of the display unit 34B is reduced to a low speed, temporarily stopped, and then restarted.
When the reach variable r is set to 2, an operation for stopping the symbol variation is performed in a different manner.

Then, after setting a line timer for setting the fluctuation time of the value added line (S332), FIG.
In the symbol shown in (F), the value added line display frame 36
Of the upper line 34a, the center line 34b,
It is moved up and down over the lower line 34c (S334). When the change of the value-added line display frame 36 is started, until the set time elapses, Step 301 of whether the line timer expires is No, and after the determination of Step 302 (Yes in S302), the value-added line is changed. The determination as to whether it is in the middle (S303) is Yes, and the value added line display frame 36 continues to move up and down.

Here, when the time set in the line timer elapses (Yes in S301), the processing shifts to the D section. The processing in the D section will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, it is determined whether or not the line random number L is "1" (S354). If the line random number L is "1" (S354: Yes), the process proceeds to step 35.
8 and the value added line display frame 36 is stopped at the upper line 34a as shown in FIG.
34B between "7" of the display 34C and "7" of the display 34C
Is displayed when "7" is reached. On the other hand,
If the line random number L is not “1” (S354 is N
o) Further, it is determined whether or not the line random number L is "2" (S356). Here, when the line random number L is “2” (S356: Yes), the process proceeds to step 360, and the value added line display frame 36 is stopped at the center line 34b as shown in FIG. When "8" comes to the display section 34B between "8" on the display section 34A and "8" on the display section 34C, it is displayed that a specific hit has occurred.

If the line random number L is not "2" at step 356 (No at S356), it is determined that the line random number is "3", and the routine proceeds to step 362 and FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1 (I), the value added line display frame 36 is stopped at the lower line 34c, and "9" comes to the display 34B between "9" of the display 34A and "9" of the display 34C. Is displayed to indicate that it is a specific hit. Thereafter, the symbols on the display section 34B (the symbols with the numerals 6-5-4 in the vertical direction) are stopped in accordance with the set random number (here, "6") (S364), and FIG.
The stop symbol shown in (J) is displayed, and the process in the D section is ended.

Next, the symbol stop processing in the case where a hit occurs as described above and the reach variable r is set to 1 in step 228 shown in FIG. 5 will be described again with reference to FIG. When the symbol timer set in accordance with the value of 1 of the reach variable r has timed out (Yes in S302), it is determined through steps 303 and 304 that the determination of whether the reach variable r is 1 (S308) is Yes, and Proceeding to 310, the symbol is stopped by the normal reach. Here, as described above, "6, 6, 6" is selected as a hit symbol in step 218, a specific hit is determined in step 220, and in step 222, the line random number L is stopped at the central line 34b. "Is selected,
It is assumed that the stop symbol shown in FIG.

First, the display of the numeral 5-6-7 is displayed on the display 34A and the operation is stopped (see FIG. 10 (A)), and the display of the numeral 5-6-7 is displayed on the display 34C. Then, after stopping (see FIG. 10 (B)), the speed of the symbol change of the display section 34B is reduced. When the reach variable r is set to 0 in step 228 (FIG. 5), the symbol variation is stopped in a mode different from this (S30).
6).

Thereafter, after setting a line timer for setting the fluctuation time of the value added line (S332), FIG.
In the symbol shown in (B), the value added line display frame 36
Of the upper line 34a, the center line 34b,
It is moved up and down over the lower line 34c (S334). When the change of the value-added line display frame 36 is started, until the set time elapses, Step 301 of whether the line timer expires is No, and after the determination of Step 302 (Yes in S302), the value-added line is changed. The determination as to whether it is in the middle (S303) is Yes, and the value added line display frame 36 continues to move up and down.

Here, if the time set in the line timer elapses (S301: Yes), the process proceeds to FIG.
The process moves to the D section shown in FIG. First, the line random number L is "1".
It is determined whether or not the line random number L is “2” as described above (S354).
No), the process proceeds to step 356, and it is determined whether or not the line random number L is “2”. Here, step 356 is Y
es, and the process proceeds to step 360 to add the value added line display frame 36 to the center line 34 as shown in FIG.
Stop at b. Thereafter, the number 7-6 is displayed on the display unit 34B.
The symbol change of -5 is displayed and the symbol change is stopped (S364).
The stop symbol shown in FIG. 10 (E) is displayed, and “6, 6,
6 ", a hit occurs, and the hit occurs at the center line 34b designated by the value added line display frame 36, so that it is indicated that the hit is a specific hit, and the processing in the D section is completed. I do.

Even if "6, 6, 6" is selected as a winning symbol in step 218, and "2" to be stopped at the center line 34b as the line random number L in step 222, even if it is selected in step 220, If the winning has been determined, the symbol shown in FIG. 10H is set in step 223 as the stop symbol. In this case, after the value added line display frame 36 is stopped at the center line 34b as shown in FIG. 10H in step 360 described above, the numeral 8 is displayed on the display unit 34B in step 364.
The symbol change of -7-6 is displayed and the symbol change is stopped, and the hit of "6, 6, 6" occurs in the lower line 34c,
Since the hit is outside the center line 34b designated by the value added line display frame 36, the normal hit is displayed.

Next, the special winning opening process in step 114 of FIG. 3 will be described with reference to a subroutine shown in FIG. First, here, a case where a hit occurs in the symbol variation processing shown in FIG. 5 and “1” is set in the hit flag will be described. The CPU circuit 57 determines whether or not the hit flag is "1" (S400). Here, the step 400 is determined to be Yes, and it is determined whether or not the special winning opening 24 is being opened (S402). 402 is No, the process proceeds to step 406, and the detection flag indicating that the symbol start switch 61 has detected the passage of the special winning opening 24 shown in FIG. Then, the timer 2 for setting about 29.5 seconds which is the opening time of the special winning opening 24 of the special winning opening 24 is started (S408), and the special winning opening opening solenoid 72 shown in FIG.
Is operated to open the special winning opening 24 (S410), and the subroutine processing ends.

Subsequently, the special winning opening process shown in FIG. 9 after the special winning opening 24 is opened in step 410 will be described. First, the CPU circuit 57 determines whether or not the hit flag is "1" (S400). Here, the determination in step 400 is Yes, and it is determined whether or not the special winning opening 24 is open (S402). This step 402 is Y
The determination is es, and it is determined whether the above-mentioned about 29.5 seconds set in the timer 2 has elapsed (S412). Here, timer 2
Is not up (S412 is N)
o), it is determined based on the output of the 10 count switch 62 shown in FIG. 2 whether or not the number of winnings to the special winning opening 24 is less than 10 (S413). Here, if the timer 2 has not timed out and the number of winnings is less than 10 (S412 is No and S413 is Yes), the game ball continues to move to the specific area 25 of the special winning opening 24 (see FIG. 1). Whether it passed or not
The determination is made based on the output from the continuous operation switch and 10 count switch 63 (see FIG. 2) (S414). Here, when the passage of the specific area 25 is detected (S41)
4 is Yes), the detection flag is set to "1" to open the special winning opening 24 again after the closing (S415). On the other hand, if the passage of the specific area 25 cannot be detected (S414 is N
o), the process ends and the opening of the special winning opening 24 is continued.

On the other hand, the timer 2 times out (S41).
If 2 is Yes), or if the winning number is 10 or more (No in S413), the process proceeds to step 416 to operate the special winning opening solenoid 72 and close the special winning opening 24 once. Then, it is determined whether the detection flag is “1”, that is, whether the passage of the specific area 25 has been detected while the special winning opening 24 is open (S418). Here, when it is detected that the game ball passes through the specific area 25 (S418: Yes), the variable p representing the number of times the special winning opening 24 is opened is less than 16, that is, the special winning opening 24 is set to 16 It is determined whether it has been opened twice (S420). Here, since the special winning opening 24 has just been opened once, the step 420 becomes Yes, the process proceeds to step 422, and 1 is added to the variable p, and the process ends. Thereby, the next time the special winning opening process is executed, the special winning opening 24 is opened again. On the other hand, Grand Prize Winner 2
If the passage of the specific area 25 cannot be detected during opening of No. 4 (No in S418), or if the above-described processing is repeated and the special winning opening 24 is opened 16 times (N in S420).
In o), the process proceeds to step 424, where the hit flag is set to “0” and the opening of the special winning opening 24 thereafter is prohibited.
Subtract 1 from the high probability variable m for the high probability state. Then, the special winning opening process ends.

As described above, when a hit due to a specific hit occurs and the high probability variable m is set to 2 in step 221 shown in FIG. 5 and the state shifts to the high probability state, a hit occurs and the high probability variable The high probability state is maintained until the subtraction of 1 from m is repeated twice (see FIG. 13A). Then, when the hit due to the specific hit occurs again during the high probability state that continues twice, the high probability state continues twice more from the occurrence of the hit due to the specific hit (see FIG. 13B).

That is, once a hit occurs due to a specific hit and the state shifts to the high probability state, the hit occurrence probability becomes 1/3.
Since it increases from 77 to 5/377, and the next hit can occur with a high probability, the player's interest occurs in a symbol that can continue the state of high probability of winning rather than whether it is a hit or not. It depends on whether or not. Here, in the pachinko machine of the above-described embodiment, the specific hit and the normal hit are determined based on whether or not a hit occurs in the frame of the value added line display frame 36 instead of the type of the symbol. For this reason, the player can add, for example, the value added line display frame 3 shown in FIG.
"7" of the display portion 34A of the lower line 34c surrounded by 6
"7" is displayed on the display section 34B between the display section 34C and "7" on the display section 34C.
It is possible to concentrate on the game with high interest because it waits for the symbol change to stop in expectation of the coming. In addition, since a specific hit and a normal hit can be identified by whether or not a hit has occurred in the value added line display frame 36 regardless of the hit symbol, the type of the hit can be easily determined.

Further, in comparison with the conventional symbol display device in which symbols are arranged on one line to generate a hit, the symbol display device 34 of the present embodiment employs any of the upper line 34a, the center line 34b, and the lower line 34c. Since a hit can be generated, there is an advantage that the game is varied. Also,
In the first embodiment, since the value added line display frame 36 is displayed only in the reach state, the interest in the occurrence of the reach can be further enhanced.

Next, a pachinko machine according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, the configuration of the pachinko machine of the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment described above with reference to FIGS. The main routine of the processing by the game control device of the pachinko machine of the second embodiment, the starting opening winning subroutine, and the special winning opening process are described in the main routine of the pachinko machine of the first embodiment (FIG. 3). This is the same as the subroutine (FIG. 4) and the special winning opening process (FIG. 9), and thus the description is omitted.

In the second embodiment, only the symbol variation processing of the first embodiment described above with reference to FIG. 5 is different. Therefore, the symbol variation processing of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG.
In the symbol variation process shown in FIG.
Since steps 223 and 232 are different from those of the first embodiment, only steps 218, 222, 223 and step 232 will be described. When a hit occurs after the processing of steps 202 to 216 (S21
6 is Yes), and a winning symbol is selected (S218). Here, in the second embodiment, 0 to 27 shown in FIG.
The winning symbol and the pattern are determined by selecting one of the random numbers of 28 frames up to. In the above-described first embodiment, the hit is displayed on three lines of the upper line 34a, the center line 34b, and the lower line 34c. However, in the second embodiment, in addition to the above three lines, FIG. , FIG.
As shown in FIG. 9 (E), the image is displayed on the lower right line 34d and the upper right line 34e. For example, when "3" is selected as the random number for the winning symbol, "1, 1, 1" is displayed on the lower right line 34d according to the pattern number included in "3" as shown in FIG. Are set so that the symbols are arranged. That is, a random number “1” shown in FIG. 14D is set so that 1-2-3 is arranged in the display unit 34A, and 2-1-0 is set in the display unit display unit 34B.
14 (E) is set so as to dispose, and 14-0-1 is arranged on the display unit 34C as shown in FIG.
A random number “14” shown in FIG. 4 (D) is set.

Similarly, "4" is used as a random number for a winning symbol.
Is selected according to the pattern number included in "4", as shown in FIG.
The symbol at the time of stop is set so that "2, 2, 2" is arranged in 4e. Also, "0" is used as a random number for winning symbols.
Is selected, the pattern at the time of stop is set such that "0, 0, 0" is arranged in the upper line 34a according to the pattern number included in "0" as shown in FIG. Is done. Further, when “1” is selected as the random number for the hit symbol, “0, 0, 0” is added to the center line 34b according to the pattern number included in “1” as shown in FIG. The symbols at the time of stop are set so as to be arranged. On the other hand, when "2" is selected as the random number for the hit symbol, "1" is displayed in the lower line 34b as shown in FIG. 19C according to the pattern number included in "2".
The symbol at the time of stop is set so that 1, 1 "is arranged.

Next, it is determined whether this hit is generated as a normal hit or a specific hit (S220). Here, 0 to 3 shown in FIG.
The random number "0" among the four random numbers up to is set as the specific hit, and it is determined with a probability of 1/4 whether or not the specific hit. Here, when the random number “0” is selected, the high probability variable m is set to “2” as a specific hit (Yes in S220) (S221). On the other hand, a random number “1”,
When either “2” or “3” is selected, the process proceeds to step 222 as a normal win (Yes in S220), and a line random number L is selected.

In the first embodiment described above, three types of values "1" (stop the value added line display frame 36 at the upper line 34a), "2" (stop at the center line 34b), and "3""(Stop at lower line 34c)
In the second embodiment, values of "4" and "5" are selected in addition to "1", "2" and "3". FIGS. 19 (I) and 19 (J) show that the line random numbers L are “4” and “5”.
Shows a display symbol when is selected. When "4" is selected as the line random number L, the value added line display frame 36 is displayed on the lower right line 34d shown in FIG.
Is stopped. On the other hand, when “5” is selected as the line random number L, the line 3 rising to the right shown in FIG.
At 4e, the value added line display frame 36 is stopped.

Next, it is determined whether or not the value added line display frame 36 can be displayed according to the line random number L selected in step 222 (S223). For example, in step 216, “0” is selected as a random number for a winning symbol.
As shown in (A), a winning symbol of "0, 0, 0" is shown on the upper line 34a, but "1" is selected as the line random number L in the above-mentioned step 222, and the value added line display frame 36 is moved upward. Stopping at the line 34a results in a specific hit. For this reason, it is determined that display is impossible (S223 is N
o), returning to step 222 to select a line random number L again. When the displayable line random number L is selected (Yes in S223), this value is set as the line random number L (S224). On the other hand, in the case of a specific win (Yes in S216), the pattern number of the symbol random number is set as the line random number L (S224).
For example, when “0” is selected as the random number for the hit symbol in step 216, “1” is set as the line random number L according to the pattern number of the random number “0”.

Thereafter, steps 225 to 232
Is performed, and in step 232, the line operation timer for starting the change of the value added line display frame 36 is set, and the process ends.

Here, when it is determined in step 216 whether or not a hit has occurred, it is determined that there is a loss (S216
(No) moves to the section B. The processing in the section B will be described with reference to FIG. In the above-described first embodiment, the display unit 34 is displayed only when the display unit 34A and the display unit 34C have the same reach pattern (S254: Yes).
After the symbol B is selected (S256), it is determined whether or not a winning symbol is obtained (S258, S259, S26).
0). On the other hand, in the second embodiment, a hit also occurs on the downward-sloping line 34d and the upward-sloping line 34e. Therefore, even when the patterns of the display unit 34A and the display unit 34C are different and the reach display is not performed (No in S254). ), After selecting the symbol on the display unit 34B (S274), it is determined whether or not the symbol is a winning symbol (S275). If the symbol is a winning symbol (Yes in S275), the symbol of the display unit 34B is selected again (S274). .

In the first embodiment, the value added line display frame 36 is displayed only in the reach mode, and in the normal loss mode, the value added line display frame 36 is displayed.
Is not displayed, it is determined in step 254 whether or not a reach mode is set.
The line random number L is selected in step 255 only when the determination in step 254 is Yes. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, a stop symbol is selected in steps 254 to 276 to display the value added line display frame 36 regardless of the reach mode, and then in step 280. Step 2 described above with reference to FIG.
As in the case of 22, a line random number L is selected. here,
"1" (stop at upper line 34a: see FIG. 21A),
"2" (stop at center line 34b: see FIG. 21 (B)), "3" (stop at lower line 34c: see FIG. 21 (C)), "4" (stop at lower right line 34d: FIG. 21)
(See (D)), "5" (stop at rising line 34e:
(See FIG. 21D).

In the above description, the stop operation is performed in the reach mode only when the symbols of the display section 34A and the display section 34C are equal. However, when the display section 34A and the display section 34C are equal (the upper line 34a, the center Line 34b, lower line 3
In addition to the occurrence of the reach state at 4c), when the random number value for the display unit 34A is ± 2 of the random number value for the display unit 34C (the occurrence of the reach state at the lower right line 34d and the upper right line 34e) , Step 254 may be configured to be Yes, and the stop operation may be performed in the reach mode.

Here, in step 208 shown in FIG.
The process after the symbol change of the symbol display device 34 is started will be described. When the symbol change processing subroutine shown in FIG. 15 is started, the determination in step 202 as to whether the symbol is being changed is Yes, and the process proceeds to the part C. The processing of the section C will be described with reference to FIG. Step 2 above
When the time set by the line operation timer set in S.32 (see FIG. 15) elapses, the determination in steps 302, 329, and 330 is performed (S302 is N).
o, S329 is No, S330 is No), Step 33
The determination as to whether the time of the line operation timer of 1 is up is Yes, and the process proceeds to step 332 to set a line stop timer for stopping the change of the value added line display frame 36, and then start the change of the value added line display frame 36. (S3
34). That is, the fluctuation is performed over the upper line 34a, the center line 34b, the lower line 34c, the lower right line 34d, and the upper right line 34e. When the change of the value added line display frame 36 is started, until the set time elapses,
The determination step 330 as to whether the line is being changed is Yes,
The change of the value added line display frame 36 is continued.

Here, when the time set in the line stop timer elapses (S329: Yes), the processing shifts to the D section. The processing in the D section will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. First, it is determined whether or not the line random number L is "1" (S354). If the line random number L is "1" (S354: Yes), the process proceeds to step 35.
Then, as shown in FIG. 21 (F), the value added line display frame 36 is stopped at the upper line 34a, and the processing in the D section is ended.

Here, the symbol stop operation in the case where no hit occurs and the reach mode is not set and the reach variable r is set to "4" will be described. Even after the above-mentioned added value line display frame 36 stops, the symbol change continues,
When the symbol timer expires, the determination of whether the symbol timer has expired in step 302 shown in FIG. 17 is Yes. The CPU circuit 57 executes steps 304, 308, 31
After the judgment of 2, 316 (S304, 308, 312,
(No at 316), it is determined whether the reach variable r is 4 (S328). Here, the determination at step 328 is Y
es, the process proceeds to step 326, and the display units 34A, 34 of the symbol display device 34 are operated by the normal off symbol stop operation.
Stop the pattern change in the order of C and 34B (FIG. 21 (G)),
The process ends.

Next, a description will be given, with reference to FIG. 17, of a symbol stop process in a case where no hit has occurred but a losing reach has been made in selecting a losing symbol. here,
The description is continued assuming that the reach variable r is set to 3 in step 264 shown in FIG. When the symbol timer set in accordance with the value of 3 in the reach variable r has timed out (Yes in S302), then in steps 304 and 30
8 and 312, it is determined whether the reach variable r is 3 (S31).
6) becomes Yes, the process proceeds to step 318, and a symbol stop operation of the display units 34A and 34C is performed by losing reach. That is, the display unit 34A displays, for example, the number 5-6 vertically.
7 is stopped after displaying the symbol 5-6-7 on the display section 34C (FIG. 21).
(See (H)), the symbol change speed of the display unit 34B is reduced to a low speed, and after temporarily stopping, for example, 8-7-6 is displayed and the rotation is stopped (see FIG. 21 (I)).

Next, the symbol stop process when a hit occurs and the reach variable r is set to 1 in step 228 shown in FIG. 15 will be described again with reference to FIG. When the symbol timer set according to the value of 1 of the reach variable r has timed out (Yes in S302), step 304
Is determined, the reach variable r is 1 (S308).
Becomes Yes, the routine proceeds to step 310, and the symbol is stopped by the normal reach. Here, “0” is selected as a winning symbol random number in step 218 as described above, and a specific winning is determined in step 220,
The description is continued on the assumption that the pattern number of the random number “0” is set as the value “1” of the line random number L, and the value added line display frame 36 is set to stop the upper line 34a.

At step 358 shown in FIG. 18, the value added line display frame 36 (FIG. 1) stopped at the upper line 34a

(G)). This indicates that a normal hit has occurred.

In the second embodiment, the value added line display frame 36 is variably displayed before the rotation of the winning symbol is stopped, and the value added line display frame 36 is displayed on the upper line 34a,
Since the display is performed not only by the center line 34b and the lower line 34c but also by the lower right line 34d and the upper right line 34e, there is an advantage that the process up to symbol determination is varied.

In the above-described first and second embodiments, an example has been described in which a symbol change is generated by winning a game ball into the first-type starting port 21. It is also possible to configure to start the symbol change. In the above-described embodiment,
Although a pachinko machine capable of maintaining a higher probability state when a specific hit occurs in a high probability state has been described as an example, the present invention can also be applied to a pachinko machine that cannot maintain a high probability state. Further, in the above-described example, the pachinko machine which shifts to the high probability state by a specific hit is taken as an example. However, for example, it is also suitable for a pachinko machine in which the opening time of the electric accessory or the winning opening differs depending on the hit symbol. Can be applied. In the above-described embodiment,
Although an example of paying out game balls in accordance with a prize has been given, the present invention can be suitably used in a pachinko machine that pays out coins in accordance with a prize or writes data on a magnetic card or an IC card. it can.

According to the present invention, as described above, claim 1 is as follows.
In the aspect, when the special value addition line selecting means wins at the determined special value addition line, the game control means generates a profitable operation to which the special value is added. For this reason, whether or not a special value is added is determined irrespective of the symbol, so that the interest of the game can be enhanced.

As described above, according to the present invention, in the second aspect, the symbol display device is provided with a plurality of symbol lines, and the second hit is displayed on the symbol line. Further, when a symbol is displayed on the symbol line designated by the value added line, an operation having a profit from the first hit is generated. Therefore, the occurrence of the first hit and the occurrence of the second hit are determined through different processes, so that the interest of the game is increased. Further, since the first hit and the second hit are identified based on whether or not a hit occurs in the special value addition line display frame regardless of the hit symbol, the player can easily determine the hit type. be able to.

[0077] In the present invention having the above-described configuration, after designating any one of the symbol lines displayed on the symbol display device with the value addition line, a plurality of symbol lines of the symbol display device are displayed. Stop the fluctuation of For this reason, the player expects the first hit, and waits for the symbol change in the symbol line designated by the value-added line to stop, thereby increasing interest in the game.

Further, according to the present invention, instead of the hit symbol,
The first value is determined by the special value addition line. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the player's interest in the game from being lost because the first stopped symbol does not constitute the first winning symbol.
