[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a variable prize device that is separate from the variable display device provided that the result of the variable display game played on the variable display device is a special display mode. about the pachinko game machine capable of generating a special game state to convert an advantageous state to.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a pachinko gaming machine, a variable display device having a plurality of variable display units is provided in a game area, and a plurality of identification units are identified by the plurality of variable display units based on satisfaction of a predetermined starting condition. When a variable display game (variable display game) based on variable display of information is performed, and the result of stopping the variable display in the variable display game is a special display mode such as “7, 7, 7”, for example, A special game state in which the variable winning device is converted based on a predetermined rule is generated. In a pachinko gaming machine equipped with a variable display device, in relation to the operation state of the variable display device, for example, a normal gaming state,
Since a plurality of types of game states such as a variable display state and a special game state have occurred, a display, a sound generation device, and the like for notifying the player of each of the game states are provided.

[0003]

Conventionally, however, a display for notifying a player of a game state has a variable display in a game area.
A display such as a lamp is provided at a place other than the variable display device where the game is performed or at a place outside the game area, and the state of the variable display game or the special game is displayed by turning on the display such as the lamp. And so on, it has not been possible to accurately inform a player who is paying attention to a variable display device that performs a variable display game that is important in the progress of the game .

[0004] In addition, a display for notifying various game states is provided .
Since it is installed separately from the variable display device that performs the variable display game, there are also problems such as an increase in the number of parts and an increase in the number of assembly work steps, or a decrease in the game area. In addition, a variable display game or a special game state is reported by sound output, but accurate notification cannot be performed in a game shop where noise is intense.

In recent years, in order to make the occurrence of a special game state more varied and more interesting, the normal occurrence probability (normal probability special game occurrence state) has been changed to a higher occurrence probability (normal probability special game occurrence state). There is a demand for a gaming machine that performs control for changing to a high probability special game occurrence state). In the case of such a gaming machine, it is necessary for the player to accurately recognize the change state of the probability, but in the conventional pachinko gaming machine , other than the variable display device in the gaming area, This is done by turning on or blinking a lamp provided at a place or a place outside the game area. Therefore, it is difficult to enter the field of view of the player, or it is difficult to understand the difference from the notification of other game states only by lighting or blinking, so that accurate notification could not be performed. Even in the easy state, there is a problem in that the player cannot fully enjoy the state because the player cannot recognize the state, and the game ends and the profit that can be obtained cannot be obtained. Was.
The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is easy to understand the change state of the occurrence probability of the special game state in the variable display game without turning the line of sight from the variable display device performing the variable display game, and It is an object of the present invention to provide a pachinko game machine that can be accurately recognized by a player .

[0006]

A variable display device (4) capable of variably displaying information (for example, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and a crown) and a background display, and a first state that is separate from the variable display device and disadvantageous to a player And a variable winning device (5) that can be converted into a second state advantageous to the player, and a predetermined starting condition is satisfied (for example, detection by the starting winning detectors 61, 81, starting winning devices 6, 8).
The variable display device causes the variable display device to perform a variable display game based on the variable display of the identification information, based on the variable display device, and stops the variable display of the identification information in the variable display game in a special display mode (for example, “ 7, 7, 7 "), and a pachinko machine capable of generating a special game state (for example, a jackpot (special game right)) for converting the variable winning device to the second state based on a predetermined rule. In the gaming machine , a normal probability special game occurrence state (for example, a normal probability big hit occurrence state) in which a special display mode in the variable display game of the variable display device can be derived with a normal probability, and the variable display It is possible to control to convert the special display mode in the variable display game of the device into a high-probability special game occurrence state (for example, a high-probability jackpot occurrence state) that can be derived with a higher probability than usual. Game state changing means (for example, the control device 600) for changing the derivation probability of the special display mode to the high probability special game occurrence state based on a fixed game condition, and changing to the high probability special game occurrence state Game state notifying means (for example, probability state display lamps 432a and 432b) for notifying the player that the player is present, and the game state notifying means is provided at least with respect to a variable display unit of the variable display device. By changing the color of the background display to a color (for example, red) different from the color (for example, green) in the normal probability special game occurrence state, the high probability special game occurrence state is notified. .

[0007] Then, the game state informing means, wherein in the normal probability special game generation state or the high probability special game generation state, variable display gate in the variable display device
The state where the game is being performed is notified so as to be further identifiable.

Are turned off, and the lamps in the variable display portions A, B, and C are turned on in green. In addition, the operable state display lamp 111 for displaying the operable time of the variable time reduction button 110 is in an off state. The opening / closing door 513 of the variable prize winning device 5 maintains a closed state, and the left and right guide members 514 and 514 maintain a vertically upwardly closed state.

Then, with the player's hand in contact with the metal portion 20b of the operation dial 20a, the operation dial 2
0a, the switch 1 of the firing motor (described later)
07 is turned on, the pilot lamp 24 is turned on, the hit ball firing device 20 is operated, and a normal game is started.

Then, the hit ball hit into the game area 2 by the operation of the hit ball launching device 20 is a start winning device 6,8.
When a prize is won, the prize is detected by start prize detectors 61 and 81 installed in the flow paths of the start prize devices 6 and 8 (start condition is satisfied). Based on the detection signal, the lamps in the storage display sections 411e to 411h of the variable display device 4 are turned on in the order of A, B, C, and D.

After a lapse of a certain time after the lighting, the winning prize is stored in the starting prize devices 6 and 8 (start condition is satisfied).
, Three variable display units A, B,
A variable display (variable display game) in which the identification information of C (for example, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, crown) is changed at a speed that cannot be followed by the naked eye is started. When the variable display game is being played, the operation lamps in the winning units 6 to 9 and the lower part of the variable display device 4 are turned on.

When the variable display game is being played,
Normally, the probability state display lamps in the variable display portions A, B, and C blink in green and have a lower probability of occurrence of "big hit" in a normal probability state (normal probability big hit occurrence state: normal probability special game occurrence state). Let them know what's going on. At the same time as the start of the change, one of the lamps (a, b, c, d) of the winning storage display sections 411e to 411h, which are turned on, is turned off (in the order of c, d, b, b).

Then, when a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the variable display game, the variable display units A, B, and C are arranged one by one with a random time shift in the order of A, B, and C.
Is stopped and the number display and the like are confirmed and the variable display portions A, B, and C are lit in green.

Each time a prize is placed in the start prize devices 6, 8,
Alternatively, when there is a prize in the start prize devices 6 and 8, and the unprocessed number is lit and stored in the prize storage display sections 411e to 411h, the variable display game is repeatedly performed.

In the case of this embodiment, when the change of the display of the two variable display portions A and B is stopped in the variable display game, the stop display becomes "7, 7" and the "big hit". Only when there is a possibility of occurrence (when a reach state is reached), the operable state display lamp 111 lights up and the fluctuation time reduction button (stop switch) 1
10 can be turned on, and the change in the display of the variable display unit C that stops last by the on operation can be stopped. However, since the change of the display of the variable display unit C at that time is as fast as usual, it is extremely difficult to aim at the display to be stopped.

When the combination of the display (numerical display etc.) of the three variable display portions A, B and C as a result of the variable display game becomes a specific mode, "big hit (right of special game)", " Each of the game states “middle hit” and “small hit” occurs, and all other combinations of displays are “missing”.

That is, in the case of the present embodiment, the "big hit (right of special game)" is a special display mode in which the numerical display of the variable display portions A, B, C is the same, for example, "7, 7, 7" which is all the same.
Occurs only when Therefore, in the case of this embodiment, the probability of occurrence of "big hit" is 1/216.

This “big hit (right of special game)” gives the player a chance to obtain a specially large number of prize balls. In this embodiment, for example, the opening and closing door 5 of the variable winning device 5
13 is opened and the left and right guide members 514, 514
Is opened in the shape of an inverted "C", and this state is maintained for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) per cycle. However, within the predetermined time, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of hit balls are won in the variable winning device 5 and the number of the winning number display 28 is changed to “0, 1, 2, 3 ‥‥, 9, 0”. It is continued until one round. When the cycle is completed, the door 513 and the guide members 514 and 514 return to the closed state. Such an opening operation is repeated a predetermined number of times (for example, up to 10 times) on condition that certain conditions described later are satisfied. The number of continuations (the number of continuation cycles) is displayed on the continuation number display 27.

In particular, when this "big hit" is generated as a result of the normal (normal probability big hit occurrence state) variable display game, after the "big hit" game occurs, the "big hit" is re-started thereafter. Only when the display of the two variable display portions A and B stops at the time when the display of the two variable display portions A and B stops in the variable display game performed during the period until the occurrence of “7, 7”. Indicates that the change in the display of the variable display section C to be stopped thereafter (finally) is slower than normal (a speed at which the change in display can be followed by the naked eye), and the operable state display lamp 111 is lit. Then, the change of the display of the variable display section C can be aimed and stopped by operating the change time reduction button (stop switch) 110, so that the display change is larger than that of the normal variable display game. Ri "probability of occurrence is high. As described above, when the variable display game is being played in a state in which the jackpot occurrence probability is high (high probability jackpot occurrence game state: high probability special game occurrence state), the probability state display lamps in the variable display portions A, B, and C are displayed. (Described later) flashes in red, and when the variable display game ends, the probability state display lamps (described later) in the variable display portions A, B, and C are turned on in red.

The game content of the "big hit" generated as a result of the variable display game having a high probability of occurrence of the "big hit" is as follows.
In the case of this embodiment, the game content is the same as the "big hit" game content generated as a result of the normal variable display game.

After the end of the "big hit" game, the game is returned to the normal variable display game.

The "middle hit" occurs when the numerical displays on the variable display portions A, B, and C are all the same as "3, 3, 3", or when three crowns are displayed.

This "medium hit" gives the possibility of obtaining a prize ball less than the "big hit" and more than the "small hit". In this embodiment, the variable winning device 5 is used. Of the left and right guide members 5
14, 514 are in a closed state. The state is continued for a shorter time (for example, 10 seconds) than when the "big hit" occurs. However, within that time, a predetermined number of balls (for example, 7
The winning is continued until the number displayed on the winning number indicator 28 reaches the number. Then, when the cycle ends, the open / close door 513 is returned to the closed state and returns to the normal game state.

The "small hit" is a set (for example, "1,1,1", "1", "1", "1", "1", "1", "1", "1", "2") of the variable display portions A, B, C. 5,5,5 "
Etc.).

This "small hit" gives the possibility of obtaining a prize ball less than the above "medium hit" and more than in the normal game. In this embodiment, the variable winning device 5 of the variable winning device 5 is used. Only the door 513 is opened, and the left and right guide members 51 are opened.
4,514 remains closed. The state is continued for a shorter time (for example, 7 seconds) than when the "medium hit" is performed, or a smaller number of balls (for example, five) are hit into the variable winning device 5 than when the "middle hit" is performed. The display is continued until the number displayed on the winning number display 28 reaches the number. When the cycle ends, the open / close door 513 is returned to the closed state, and returns to the normal game state.

When any of the above "hits" occurs, the hit indication lamp 29, the side lamps 90 and the like are blinked.

In addition, when the combination of the numerical displays on the variable display portions A, B, C is something other than the above-mentioned "big hit", "medium hit", and "small hit", it is all "missing". The normal game is continued as it is.

0, continuation condition satisfaction display lamp 515, operation lamp 432
For example, the operable state display lamp 111, the winning number display 28, the continuation number display 27, and the like are connected.

First, the start switch 643 s is turned on, and the power supply circuit 641 supplies the microcomputer 61
0 is supplied with electricity, the microcomputer 610
In response to a command from the driver 655 via the driver 655, the green probability state display lamp 432a is turned on to display a state in which the occurrence of a "big hit" by the variable display game is at a normal probability (a low probability of 1/216). "0" is displayed on the continuation number display 27 and the winning number display 28.

In this state, when a game is played and a hit ball is won in any of the start winning devices 6, 6, and 8, the corresponding one of the start winning detectors 61, 61, 81 is turned on (O).
N) and the ON signal is processed by the waveform shaping circuit 651,
It is input to M630 and temporarily stored. Based on the storage, a command signal from the microcomputer 610 is transmitted via the driver 655 to the winning number storage displays 411e to 411e.
11h, the number corresponding to the stored number
Lights in the order of b, c, d. Then, the driver 65
5, the rotation stop devices 465 to 46 of the variable display device 4 in response to a command signal from the microcomputer 610 via the microcomputer 5.
7 are excited, the disks 434b to 436
The rotation inhibition of b is released, and the discs 464b to 466b are rotated by the operation of the motor 460, so that the display of the variable display portions A, B, and C is changed at random. At the same time, the green probability state display lamp 432a and the operation lamp 432c of the variable display device 4 start blinking. Simultaneously with the start, the number of prize stored in the start prize devices 6, 6, 8 by the RAM 630 is reduced by "1", and one of the lit lamps of the prize storage number display sections 411e to 411 is set to d, c, b. The lights are turned off in the order of a. When a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the display change, a command signal from the microcomputer 610 is sent to the rotation stop devices 465 to 467 via the driver 655, and the rotation stop devices 465 to 467 are sequentially demagnetized. You. The demagnetized rotation stopping devices 465-4
The disks 434 b to 436 b are sequentially stopped by 67, and the green probability status indicator lamp 43 of the variable display device 4 is controlled by a command from the microcomputer 610.
The blinking of 2a and the operation lamp 432c is stopped, and the state is returned to the state in which the green probability state display lamp 432a remains lit and the state in which the operation lamp 432c is turned off.

The combination of the three variable display portions A, B, and C of the stopped variable display device 4 may be any of "big hit", "medium hit", "small hit", and "miss". Signals from the sensors S ₁ , S ₂ , and S ₃ installed on the back side of the disks 434 b to 436 b are input to the microcomputer 610 via the stop display determination circuit 652 to determine whether there is any.

In the normal variable display game, in particular, when the two disks 434b and 435b are stopped, the stopped variable display portions A and B display "7, 7".
"Big hit" by microcomputer 610
When it is determined that there is a possibility of occurrence (reach state), the operable state display lamp 111 is turned on by a command from the microcomputer 610, and the ON operation of the fluctuation time reduction button 110 becomes possible. The variable display section C which stops last by the ON operation
Change of the display can be stopped. However, since the change of the display of the variable display section C at this time is as fast as usual, it is extremely difficult to aim at the display to be stopped.

On the other hand, if the variable display game is played after the end of the "big hit" which has occurred as a result of the normal variable display game, the "big hit" is again started after the "big hit" game ends. Only during the period until the occurrence of
When the change of the display of the two variable display portions A and B is stopped, the stop display becomes "7, 7" and the microcomputer 610 may generate a "big hit" (reach state). When it is determined, the change of the display of the variable display unit C to be stopped thereafter (last) is controlled to a speed lower than usual (a speed at which the change can be visually observed), and the operable state is set. The display lamp 111 lights up and the fluctuation time reduction button (stop switch) 11
The operation of 0 causes the display of the variable display section C to stop changing. Therefore, at this time, the stop display of the variable display section C can be aimed at by operating the fluctuation time reduction button (stop switch) 110, and the probability of occurrence of a "big hit" is accordingly reduced as compared with the normal variable display game. Get higher. When the variable display game is being played, the red probability state display lamps (described later) in the variable display portions A, B, and C are blinked by a command from the microcomputer 610, and the variable display game ends. At this time, the red probability state display lamps (described later) in the variable display sections A, B, and C are kept lit.

As a result of the determination of the stop display mode by the microcomputer 610 performed at the end of each variable display game, if any of "big hit", "medium hit", and "small hit" occurs, Command signals corresponding to the type of the prize are sent via the driver 655 to the solenoids 542, 542, 544, the hit lamp 29, the side lamps 90, 90, the speakers (not shown), etc. Activated.

The stop display for each variable display game is R
It is temporarily stored in the AM 630.

The "big hit" is generated when it is determined that the display of the variable display portions A, B, C has become "7, 7, 7".

At the time of the "big hit", a voice (fan fare, etc.) notifying the occurrence of the "big hit" is issued from a speaker (not shown) by a command from the microcomputer 610, and the hit lamp 29 and the side lamps 90, 90 and the like are emitted. Flashes. At the same time, when the solenoids 544, 542, 542 are appropriately excited, the open / close door 513 and the left and right guide members 514, 514 of the variable winning device 5 are both opened, and the state continues for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds). Then, a stop command signal is issued and the solenoids 544, 542, and 542 are both demagnetized, so that they are returned to the original closed state and the process is terminated. The hit ball which has won a prize in the winning opening 511 before the end is detected by the winning number detector 562, and the winning number is displayed on the winning number display 28 by a command from the microcomputer 610 based on the detection signal. Then, within the 30 seconds, when 10 game balls are won in the winning opening 511 of the variable winning device 5 and the 10 winnings are detected by the winning number detector 562, even if 30 seconds have not elapsed. At that time the microcomputer 610
Output a stop command signal from the solenoids 544 and 54
The door 513 and the guide members 514 and 514 are returned to the original closed state by the demagnetization of the members 2 and 542, and the process ends.

However, before the end of the "big hit" cycle, the hit ball that has won in the winning opening 511 of the variable winning device 5 passes through the center of the winning opening 511 and is sent to the continuous winning detector 550 installed at the center thereof. Upon detection, the detection signal is received, the detection is temporarily stored in the RAM 630, and at the same time, a command signal is issued from the microcomputer 610, and the continuation condition satisfaction display lamp 515 of the variable winning device 5 is turned on. Thus, when the continuation condition is satisfied before the end of the cycle (even after the end of the cycle, as long as it is within the valid time), the next cycle of "big hit" similar to the above is performed after the end of the cycle. It is. In the case of "big hit", the cycle is repeated up to a maximum of 10 cycles for each cycle, provided that the continuation condition is satisfied. However, when the continuation condition is not satisfied, the "big hit" state is ended at the end of the cycle. Then, the hit lamp 29 and the side lamps 90, 90 are turned off, and the normal game state is returned.

The "middle hit" is generated when the display of the variable display portions A, B, C becomes "3, 3, 3" or when three "crowns" are arranged.

At the time of the "middle hit", a voice from a fan (not shown) for notifying the occurrence of the "middle hit" is issued from a speaker (not shown) in accordance with a command from the microcomputer 610, and the big hit lamp 29 and the side lamps 90, 90 are turned on. Flashes. At the same time, the solenoid 544 is excited by a command signal from the microcomputer 610, and the opening / closing door 513 of the variable winning device 5 is opened. However, since the left and right guide members 514 and 514 are not opened, the probability of winning in the winning opening 511 is lower than in the case of “big hit”. Also, when the opening time per cycle is short (for example, 7 seconds) or when seven prizes are won in the winning opening 511 before the opening time of one cycle elapses, the "middle hit" game is terminated at that time. The microcomputer 610 is controlled so as to be different from the “big hit” at the point of returning to the normal game state. Also in the case of this "medium hit", the number of continuations is displayed on the continuation number display 27, and the number of winnings in the winning opening 511 in each cycle is displayed on the winning number display 28.

As described above, the profit given at the time of “middle hit” is smaller than the profit given at the time of “big hit”, and accordingly, the chance of occurrence of “middle hit” is given. ing.

When the "middle hit" state is completed,
In the same manner as when the “big hit” is ended, the hit lamp 29 and the side lamps 90 are turned off by the command from the microcomputer 610, and the normal game state is returned.

"Small hit" means that the variable display units A, B, and C have different displays other than the combination of stop displays that generate "big hits" and "medium hits" (for example, "1, 1, 1"). "
It is generated when it becomes "5, 5, 5".

At the time of the "small hit", a voice from a fan (not shown) for notifying the occurrence of the "small hit" is emitted from a speaker (not shown) in accordance with a command from the microcomputer 610, and the big hit lamp 29 and the side lamps 90, 90 are turned on. Flashes. At the same time, the solenoid 544 is excited by a command signal from the microcomputer 610, and the opening / closing door 513 of the variable winning device 5 is opened.
However, at this time, the left and right guide members 514 and 514 are not opened, as in the case of “middle hit”. Further, the opening time of the opening / closing door 513 is "5 seconds" and the number of times of opening is limited to "one time", so that the profit state is further reduced as compared with the case of "medium hit". Then, the winning number of the game ball into the winning opening 511 at that time is also detected by the winning number detector 562 and is displayed on the winning number display 27. In the case of “small hit”, the opening time is short. Therefore, there is no limit on the number of winnings.

When the "small hit" game is over, the hit lamp 29 and the side lamp 90 are turned off at that time.

In this embodiment, the above "big hit",
All of the combinations other than the display combinations that generate "medium hits" and "small hits" are "missing". In the case of "missing", control is performed so that the normal game state is continued.

FIG. 19 shows a combination of displays in which the two variable display portions A and B are stopped from displaying a “big hit” when the display of the two variable display portions A and B is stopped in the variable display game in the game in which the normal probability big hit occurs. (A state in which the vehicle is not in the reach state), that is, the start winning detectors 61 and 81 and the disk rotation motor 46 when the display combination is other than “7, 7”
0 shows a timing chart of the solenoids 465a, 466a, 467a and the like.

As shown in the drawing, the falling of the detection signal (or the starting winning detector 6) is detected by the starting winning detector 61 or 81.
When there is a variable display command from the microcomputer 610 based on the winning storage in the 1 or 81), the solenoids 465a, 466a, 467a are excited at that time, and the disk 4 by the rotation stopping devices 465 to 467 is excited.
34b to 436b are released. And then
The disk rotation motor 460 is operated, whereby the disks 434b to 436b are rotated, and the display of the variable display portions A, B, and C is started. Then, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the solenoids 465a to 467a are sequentially demagnetized, so that the disks 434b to 436b are locked by the rotation stopping devices 465 to 467, and the display change is completed. Then, after the change of the display is completed, the disk rotation motor 460 is stopped.

In the variable display game, when the change of the display of the two variable display portions A and B is stopped, the two stop displays do not become "7, 7" and a "big hit" can occur. When there is no possibility, the operable state display lamp 111 is kept off and the select switch 115 cannot be turned on. That is, during the variable display game, the stop operation of the disks 465a to 467a by the fluctuation time reduction button 110 cannot be performed.

FIG. 20 shows a combination of displays that can generate a "big hit" when the display of the two variable display portions A and B is stopped in the variable display game at the time of the game in which the normal probability big hit occurs. Reach state), that is, "7,
Start winning prize detector 6 when the combination of the indications of "7" is displayed
1, 81, a timing chart of the disk rotation motor 460, the solenoids 465a, 466a, 467a and the like are shown.

In this case, the solenoids 465a, 466
a are demagnetized to stop rotations 465, 46
6, the disks 434b and 435b are locked, and the change of the display is stopped in order, and the stop display is "big hit".
When the microcomputer 610 determines that “7, 7” is displayed, the operable state display lamp 111 is turned on, and the select switch 115 can be turned on during that time. That is, during the variable display game, the disk 466 is not used.
a during the period when the select switch 115 can be turned on from the time when the “a” is stopped.
0 can be used to stop the disk 467a. However, since the rotation of the disk 467a at that time remains at a high speed as usual, it is extremely difficult to perform a stop display on the variable display section C so as to generate a "big hit". At this time, the rotation continuation time of the disk 467a is extended longer than that shown in FIG. Therefore, when the extension duration time ends, the solenoid 467 is used at the end of the rotation duration time without operating the fluctuation time reduction button 110.
The rotation of the disk 467a is stopped by the rotation stop device 467 by degaussing a.

FIG. 21 shows a special variable display game in which a "big hit" is generated by the above-described variable display game during the normal probability big hit generation game and the next "big hit" occurs from the end of the "big hit". In the (variable display game at the time of a game with a high probability big hit), two variable display portions A and B
When the display of is stopped, the stop display is "big hit"
, The start winning detectors 61 and 81, the disk rotation motor 460, and the solenoids 465a and 466a when the display combination does not allow the display to be generated (a state other than the reach state). , 46
7A and 7B show timing charts.

At this time, the start winning detectors 61 and 81, the disk rotation motor 460 and the solenoid 465a,
The timing charts of 466a and 467a are the same, and at this time, as in the case of FIG.
11 remains off, and the select switch 115 is maintained in a state where it cannot be turned on. In other words, also at this time, the disk 465a
The stop operation of to 467a is impossible.

FIG. 22 shows a combination of displays that can generate a "big hit" when the display of the two variable display portions A and B is stopped in the variable display game at the time of the high probability big hit generation game. (Reach state), that is,
A timing chart of the start winning detectors 61 and 81, the disk rotation motor 460, the solenoids 465a, 466a, and 467a when the combination of the display of "7, 7" is obtained is shown.

In this case, the solenoids 465a, 466
a are demagnetized to stop rotations 465, 46
6, the disks 434b and 435b are locked, and the change of the display is stopped in order, and the stop display is "big hit".
When the microcomputer 610 determines that "7, 7" is displayed, the rotational speed of the disk 467a is converted to a low speed, and the operable state display lamp 111 is lit, during which the select switch is turned on. This is converted into a state where 115 can be turned on.
That is, even during the variable display game, as in the case of FIG. 19, the disk 467a by the variable time reduction button 110 is limited to a period during which the select switch 115 can be turned on after the disk 466a is stopped.
Is ready to stop. In this case, particularly, when the disk 466a is stopped and the possibility of the "big hit" occurs, the rotation speed of the disk 467a is converted to the low speed state as described above. It becomes easier to aim to generate a "big hit", and accordingly, the "big hit" occurrence probability increases. At this time, the rotation continuation time of the disk 467a is extended as in the case of FIG. 20, and ends at the same time as the end of the period in which the select switch 115 can be turned on. In other words, as shown in FIG. 20, even if the fluctuation time reduction button 110 is not operated, the solenoid 4
The rotation of the disk 466b is stopped by degaussing 67a.

When a "big hit" occurs as a result of this special variable display game, the time from the end of the game of the "big hit" to the occurrence of the next "big hit" is shown in FIG. 19 or FIG. A normal variable display game based on the timing chart is performed.

FIG. 23 is a block diagram of the microcomputer 61 shown in FIG. 18 when the power switch is turned on when the start switch 643s is turned on.
7 shows a flowchart at the time of initial setting in which a reset signal is input to 0.

When the start switch 643s is turned on or the power is restored from the power failure state, the reset signal generation circuit 642 sends the microcomputer 61
A reset signal is input to 0.

On the basis of the input of the reset signal, the continuation number lamp register 1 in the microcomputer 610,
The count value C of a winning ball counter for counting the number of winnings in the starting winning openings 6, 6, 8 and the count value G of the winning number counter for the large winning opening for counting the number of winnings in the winning opening 511 of the variable winning device 5. , A continuous winning flag A, a status register F, a hit mode register R, a variable display timer time T ₁ , a large / medium / small hit timer T ₂ , a timer T ₃ for setting a big hit wait time, a probability The up flags B are reset to “0”, respectively, and the initialization is completed.

FIGS. 24 to 26 show flowcharts of pachinko game control processing performed by the computer system of FIG.

When the pachinko game control process is started,
First, the variable display timer T ₁ in step S2, the update of the timer T ₃ to set the wait time at the time of large, medium and Koatari timer T ₂ and jackpot, reads the status signal switches in the next step S4 To step S6.

In step S6, the start winning detector 6
Determines whether there is 1 or 81 fall of signals S _1, the process proceeds directly to the next step S8 when it is determined that there is the fall, until at the step S12 when it is determined that there is no its falling skip.

As a result, when the process has proceeded to step S8, the count value C of the winning ball counter for counting the number of unprocessed winning prize holes 6 or 8 in which the variable display game has not yet been played in step S8 is " It is determined whether or not the number has reached “4”. If it is determined that the number has not reached “4”, the count of the winning ball counter is incremented by “+1”, and the process proceeds to step S12 to reach “4”. If it is determined that there is, the process skips to step S12.

In step S12, the variable winning device 5
It is determined whether or not the signal of the winning number detector 562 has fallen. If it is determined that there has not been a fall, the process skips to step S16. If it is determined that a fall has occurred, the winning opening of the variable winning device 5 is determined. The count value G of the winning number counter for counting the winning number in 511
Is counted up by “+1”, and the process proceeds to step S16.

[0142] determined whether there is a fall of the signal S ₃ of the continuous prize detector 550 in step S16, when it is determined that there is no falling skip far step S20, determines that there is the falling If so, the continuous winning flag is set to "1" in step S18, and the process proceeds to step S20.

In step S20, the variable display device 4
To determine whether or not the variable display game is operating,
When it is determined that it is not operating, the process proceeds to step S22, and when it is determined that it is operating, the process skips to step S38 in FIG. Where F0, F
Symbols 1 and F2 indicate a variable display game state in a normal game state, a variable probability game state in which a normal probability big hit occurs, and a symbol indicating a variable display game state in a high probability big hit state.

In step S22, it is determined whether or not a hit operation is being performed. If it is determined that a hit operation is not being performed, the process proceeds to step S24. If it is determined that a hit operation is being performed, step S60 in FIG. Skip to. Here, F3 is a symbol indicating a hit operation state.

In step S24, it is determined whether or not the continuation right has been generated by the satisfaction of the continuation condition. If it is determined that the continuation right has not been generated, the flow shifts to step S26 in FIG. 25 to determine that the right has been generated. If so, the process skips to step S76 in FIG. Here, F4 is a symbol indicating a state in which the continuation right is generated.

In step S26 in FIG. 25, the count value C of the winning ball counter for counting the number of unprocessed winning prize holes 6 or 8 for which the variable display game has not yet been played becomes "1" or more. Judge whether or not
If it is determined that the value is “1” or more, the process proceeds to step S
At 28, the count value C is decremented by "1", and the process proceeds to step S30. If it is determined that the count value C is not "1" or more, the process proceeds to step S88 and the probability state display lamps 432a (green) and 432b (red ), The operation lamp 432c, the lamps in the winning units 6 to 9 and the solenoids 465a to 467a are maintained as they are,
After waiting for the next clock signal from the frequency divider 644 to be input to the CPU 610, the process returns to step S2 in FIG.

In step S30, it is determined whether or not the probability up flag B is "1". If it is determined that the probability up flag B is not "1", the variable display game in the normal probability big hit occurrence state is performed in step S32. After the status register F is set to "1" in order to execute the game, the process proceeds to step S36. If it is determined that the status register F is "1", the status register F is set in step S34 to execute the variable display game in the high-probability jackpot occurrence game state. After setting F to “2”, the process proceeds to step S36. In any case, the timer T1 for determining the continuation time of the variable display game is set in the step S36, and the process proceeds to the next step S38.

In step S38, the timer T1
It is determined whether or not the time is up. If it is determined that the time is not up, the process directly proceeds to step S40, and if it is determined that the time is up, the process proceeds to step S40.
Skip to 42.

As a result, when the process has proceeded to step S40, it is determined in step S40 whether or not the change time reduction button 110 has been pressed and the select switch 115 has been turned on.
The flow shifts to 42, and if it is determined that it has not been turned on, the flow shifts to step S88.

When the process proceeds to step S42, the hit mode is determined from the stop display mode stored in the stop display memory of the ROM 620 in step S42, and the hit mode is set in the hit mode register R. The process moves to step S44 in FIG.

In step S44 of FIG. 26, it is determined whether or not the hit mode register R is "0" (out of contact), and if it is determined that it is "0" (out of contact). In step S80, the status register F is set to "0" (normal gaming state), and then step S80 in FIG.
The process proceeds to S88, and if it is determined that the value is not “0” (out of contact), the process proceeds to step S46.

In step S46, it is determined whether or not the hit mode register R is "3"("bighit" state). If it is determined that it is not "3"("bighit" state), Move to step S56, "0"
If it is determined that the state is "big hit", the process proceeds to step S48.

As a result, when the process proceeds to step S48, the probability up flag B is set to “0” in step S48.
(Normal probability big hit occurrence gaming state) is determined, and if it is determined that it is not “0” (normal probability big hit occurrence gaming state), the probability up flag is set to “0” (normal) in step S50. Probability jackpot occurrence game state)
Then, the process proceeds to step S54. If it is determined that the value is "0", the probability up flag is set to "1" (high probability big hit occurrence gaming state) in step S52, and then the process proceeds to step S54. In any case, the continuation number display register is set to "1" (the continuation number display is "1") in step S54, and the process proceeds to step S56.

When the process proceeds to step S56, the status register F is set to "3" (hit operation state) in step S56, and in the next step S58, according to the value of R (according to the type of hit). After setting the time of the large / medium / small hit timer T2, the process proceeds to step S60.

In step S60, it is determined whether or not the timer T2 for the large / medium / small hit has expired. If it is determined that the timer has not expired, step S62 is reached.
Then, when it is determined that the time is up, the process proceeds to step S64.

As a result, when the process proceeds to step S62, the winning opening 511 of the variable winning device 5 is determined in step S62.
It is determined whether or not the count value G of the winning number counter that counts the number of winning balls inward has become “10”, and “1”
When it is determined that the value is "0", the process proceeds to step S64.
The process moves to step S88.

When the process proceeds from step S60 or S62 to step S64, the count value G of the winning number counter is reset to "0" and the hit mode register R is set to "0" (out of contact) in step S64. Then, control goes to a step S66.

In step S66, it is determined whether or not the continuation count display register L is larger than "10". If it is determined that it is not larger than "10", the flow shifts to step S68, where "10" is set. Is determined to be larger than "", the continuous winning flag is set to "0" in step S82 and the state register F is set to "0" (normal game state), and then the flow shifts to step S88 in FIG.

In step S68, it is determined whether or not a "big hit". If it is determined that the "big hit", the process proceeds to step S70. If it is not "the big hit", the continuous winning flag is set to "0" in step S84. Then, the state register F is set to "0" (normal game state), and then the flow shifts to step S88 in FIG.

In the step S70, it is determined whether or not the continuous winning flag A is "1". When it is determined that the value is "1", the state register F is set to "4" (big hit continuation state) in step S72.
Then, in the next step S74, a timer T3 for setting a wait time at the time of a big hit is set, and then the process proceeds to step S76. However, when it is determined that is not "1", the state register F is set to "0" (normal game state) in step S86, and then the process proceeds to step S88 in FIG.

As a result, when the process has proceeded to step S76, it is determined in step S76 whether or not the timer T3 for setting the wait time for the big hit has timed out. Set register R to "3" (hit state)
Then, the continuation winning flag is set to "0" and the continuation number display register L is incremented to "+1", and the process returns to step S56. If it is determined that the time is not up, the process proceeds to step S88 in FIG.

A pachinko game machine according to this embodiment is:
Since it is configured as described above, the starting winning opening 6 or 8
The variable display game that is performed based on winning is performed as a normal variable display game in which the player cannot normally select the stop display mode, and the variable display unit that stops last during the variable display game is displayed. Only when the possibility of the occurrence of the big hit occurs due to the stop of the change (variable display), the change of the display of the variable display section which is stopped last is stopped by the variable display game intervention means, and the hit occurs. The presence / absence of the game is left to the player's stop operation technique, and the number of games played on pachinko machines is increased. Also,
Probability status display lamps 432a and 432b are disposed on the back side of the disks 434b to 436b made of a light-transmitting material,
By controlling the change of the emission color of the probability state display lamp and the lighting and blinking, the area (background portion) excluding the identification information (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and the crown) in the variable display portions A, B, and C is controlled. Alternatively, the color or the lighting state of the entire area of the variable display unit including the identification information changes, and the game state is notified by the change in the color or the lighting state.

In the above-described embodiment, the display change speed of the variable display section C which stops after the reaching state occurs (finally) during the variable display game is changed to the high-speed state (normal state) every time a big hit occurs. ) And the low-speed state are alternately changed to alternately create a normal-probability jackpot occurrence game state in which a “big hit” cannot be aimed at and a high-probability jackpot occurrence game state in which a “big hit” can be easily aimed at. Instead, the display change speed of the variable display section C that stops after the reach state occurs (finally) may be always set to the high-speed state (normal state) or may be set to the medium-speed state that is relatively easy to aim at. Good.
Further, the display change speed of the variable display section C may be set to a low speed state in which it is easy to always aim. Further, every time a "big hit" occurs, the changing speed of the variable display portion C which stops after the reaching state has occurred (finally) may be changed stepwise.

Further, in the above embodiment, the change of the variable display section C which is stopped thereafter (finally) only when the "big hit" reach state occurs can be stopped by the variable display game intervention means. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

Further, the variable display device is not limited to the one in which the above three disks rotate to change the display. The variable display device changes the display by rotating a plurality of drums. The type of the variable display device may be of any type, for example, due to a change.

In the above embodiment, the variable display units A,
Although the display of B and C is normally stopped, the display is changed for a predetermined time based on the winning in the starting prize device 6 or 8, and then stopped, the description is given using a type in which the display is not limited thereto.
It may be of a type that constantly changes and stops for a certain period of time only when the winning device 6 or 8 is won.

Further, the number of the variable display portions A, B, C is not limited, and may be any number.

Also, in the above embodiment, the variable display device 4
Although the variable prize winning device 5 and the variable prize winning device 5 are separate, they may be integrated.

The type of the variable winning device 5 is not limited to the attacker type, but may be any type.

In this case, a floating winning device separate from the variable display device
From the disadvantaged first state to the player based on the
It is said that it is converted to the second state which is more advantageous
In addition , the special display mode is changed to a high-probability special game occurrence state that can be derived with a high probability based on predetermined game conditions.
As a result, it is possible to provide a variety of interesting and entertaining games to the player. Also, the changed high-probability special game occurrence state can be identified by the game state notification means.
The variable table of the variable display device is used for the notification.
At least the color of the background display is usually a special probability for the indicator
By being changed to a color different from the color during the game occurrence state
Since the high-probability special game occurrence state is notified, the player can use the color change of the background display of the variable display unit to indicate the change of the game state.
Can be accurately recognized as a change in the color of the game, and it is possible to prevent mistakes such as ending the game despite the high probability special game occurrence state as in the related art. In addition, the satisfaction of being in the high probability special game occurrence state can be sufficiently obtained.

Also, the state is changed to the high probability special game occurrence state.
Variable whether to generate a special display mode
By changing the color of the background portion in the variable display unit for performing the display game and notifying, the player can simultaneously change the game state while watching the state of the identification information of the variable display device (variable display unit) of interest. In the case of a special game occurrence state with high probability, the player can accurately recognize that the variable display currently being performed is being performed with high probability, and a very effective notification Can be performed. Also, high probability
Notification of the change to the special game occurrence state is variable
Because it is performed on a variable display device that performs a display game, it is a special
To notify that the game has been changed to a game occurrence state
In addition, a notification means separate from the variable display device should not be provided.
Costly, no need for additional parts
It is. Further, the game state notifying means notifies the state in which the variable display game is being played on the variable display device in a more identifiable manner, so that the change in the game state can be reliably performed on the variable display device which the player is paying attention to. The player can be notified, and the progress of the game is very easy for the player to understand, and even beginners can play the game with peace of mind.
