) Ordinary prize openings 18, 19 are provided respectively.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a control system. Reference numeral 29 denotes a first random number generating means which repeatedly generates a predetermined random number such as a jackpot / missing decision random number, a stop symbol determining random number, or the like.
The jackpot occurrence probability that the stop symbol becomes a jackpot symbol is 1
In the case of / 250, a big hit / miss determination random number of 0 to 249 is generated.

Numeral 30 denotes first symbol variation control means, which functions to vary the first symbol of each symbol display section of the first symbol variation display means 21 in response to a variation request caused by a game ball winning the first symbol starting means 14. The random number generated by the first random number generating means 29 is randomly selected in response to the fluctuation request, and when a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the fluctuation, the first symbol is selected by the stop symbol determined by the symbol random number.
It has a function of stopping the first symbol of the symbol variation display means 21.

Note that the first symbol variation control means 30 controls a predetermined number (for example, four) when a game ball is won in the first symbol activation means 14 during the variation operation of the first symbol variation display means 21. The winning is stored, and the fluctuation / stop is continued after the fluctuation of the first symbol fluctuation display means 21 is completed within the range of the stored number.

Reference numeral 31 denotes a second random number generating means which repeatedly generates a random number for determining a hit / miss. 32 is a second symbol variation control means, on condition that the second symbol starting means 16 detects the passage of a game ball, randomly selects a random number generated by the second random number generation means 31 at that time, and generates a second symbol variation. The second symbol on the display means 24 is varied for a predetermined time and stopped at a predetermined stop symbol.

Reference numeral 33 denotes opening / closing control means which determines whether or not the stop symbol of the second symbol change display means 24 is a predetermined hit symbol, for example, "3".
The fourteen open / close claws 25 are opened for a predetermined time (for example, about 0.5 seconds). The second symbol change display means 24
Is set to, for example, a probability of about 1/10, which is set to be much higher than the big hit occurrence probability of the first symbol change display means 21.

Reference numeral 34 denotes a first profit state generating means.
A jackpot or a miss is determined from the out-of-order random number and / or the stop symbol after the change of the first symbol variation display means 21, and the stop symbol after the variation of the first symbol variation display means 21 is the specific symbol “7.7.
7 ”, etc., when a winning pattern such as
Is converted to the first state and a first profit state advantageous to the player is generated.

The first profit state generating means 34 has a control function of opening the open / close plate 27 of the variable winning means 15 after the occurrence of the first profit state, and also when a predetermined time has elapsed after the opening. Or, when a predetermined number of game balls win,
It has a function to control the opening and closing operation to be continued up to a maximum of a predetermined number of times on condition that a game ball that has won while closing and opening the game ball passes through the specific area.

Reference numeral 35 denotes a second profit state generating means, which is a first profit state generated by the first profit state generating means 34 after the first profit state ends.
Until the symbol variation display means 21 performs the variation operation a predetermined number of times (for example, 50 times), when the stop symbol after the variation of the first symbol variation display means 21 becomes a predetermined symbol different from the big hit symbol, The second profit state which is advantageous to the user is generated, and when the first profit state is generated again by the first profit state generating means 34, the second profit state is terminated.

The second profit state generating means 35 includes a counting section 36, a symbol determining section 37, a probability varying section 38, and an end control section 39. After the first profit state of the first profit state generating means 34 ends, the counting section 36 starts counting the number of times of the fluctuation operation of the first symbol fluctuation display means 21, counts up to a predetermined number of times set in advance, and counts the predetermined number of times. If the second profit state does not occur before counting, the entire second profit state generating means 35 is reset.

The symbol determining section 37 is a first symbol variation display means 21
The predetermined symbol whose stop symbol is different from the big hit symbol for each fluctuation operation of, for example, “7.3.1”, “7.6.7”, “7.8”
And 7) for determining whether or not the symbol is a predetermined symbol set in advance, such that the determination operation is started after the first profit state of the first profit state generating means 34 ends, and thereafter, the counting section
The judging operation is repeated until the number 36 has counted the changing operation of the first symbol change displaying means 21 by the set number of times. When the symbol determining unit 37 determines that the stop symbol of the first symbol change display unit 21 is the predetermined symbol, the symbol determining unit 37 resets the counting unit 36 and stops the subsequent determination operation.

The probability varying section 38 determines the first profit state as the first profit state.
The probability that the stopped symbol of the symbol variation display means 21 becomes a big hit symbol is reduced from a normal low probability of, for example, about 1/250 to 1/50.
When the symbol determining unit 37 determines that the stop symbol of the first symbol variation display means 21 is a predetermined symbol, the next first symbol is used to provide a probability variation function of varying the probability to a high probability. Prior to the fluctuation operation of the fluctuation display means 21, the occurrence probability of the big hit symbol is changed from a normal low probability to a high probability.

The end control unit 39 determines whether the first symbol variation display means 21 has a big hit symbol after the first symbol variation display means 21 has changed to the high probability state and the first profit state is generated by the first profit state generation means 34. As an opportunity of the end of the two profit state, the probability changing unit 38 returns the high probability to the normal low probability.

The first notifying means 22 is a first profit state generating means.
After the end of the first profit state of 34, the first symbol change display means 21
Is informed to the player until the predetermined symbol fluctuates a predetermined number of times, and the second notifying means 23 determines that the symbol in which the first symbol fluctuation displaying means 21 is stopped becomes the predetermined symbol and the second profit state. This is for notifying the player that the second profit state of the generating means 35 has occurred.

The first notification means 22 and the second notification means 23
Is configured using a specific portion of the liquid crystal display unit 20 of the liquid crystal display unit 13, and the first notification unit 22 performs the processing from the end of the first profit state to the completion of the counting of the predetermined number of times by the counting unit 36. During the period, and during the period from the occurrence of the second profit state to the end thereof, the second notification means 23 blinks and / or illuminates each specific portion of the liquid crystal display unit 20 of the liquid crystal display means 13 for display. I have.

The first notifying means 22 and the second notifying means 23
The color of a specific portion of the liquid crystal display unit 20 may be changed, or the display may be performed by using a display lamp such as an LED arranged at an appropriate position such as a peripheral portion of the liquid crystal display unit 13. Is also good. Also, the first notification means 22 and the second notification means
23 may be provided on the front frame 2 etc. other than the game board 4.

Next, the operation of the above-mentioned ball game machine will be described. When the firing handle 10 of the firing means 9 is operated with the game ball on the upper plate 7, the game ball on the upper plate 7 is
The game balls are supplied one by one in association with the launch operation of No. 9 and the game balls are hit with a hitting hammer and sequentially fired along the guide rail 11 toward the game board 4.

While the game ball fired on the upper side of the game board 4 falls along the surface of the game board 4, the game ball is
When entering the symbol starting means 16, the second symbol variation control means 32 randomly selects the random number from the second random number generating means 31, performs random number determination, and performs other variation processing, and performs the second symbol variation display means 24 on the second symbol variation display means 24. Is varied for a predetermined time.

When the stop symbol after the change of the second symbol change display means 24 becomes a hit symbol, for example, the opening / closing claw 25 of the first symbol start means 14 is opened for a predetermined time. That is, the second symbol starting means
If the random number at the time of detecting the game ball is a hit random number, the second symbol of the second symbol variation display means 24 stops at the hit symbol “3”, so the variation of the second symbol variation display means 24 Later, the opening / closing control means 33 operates to open the pair of opening / closing claws 25 of the first symbol starting means 14. Therefore, a game ball can be easily won in the first starting means, and accordingly, the first symbol change display means.
The first symbol of 21 is likely to fluctuate.

When a game ball wins in the first symbol starting means 14, the first symbol variation control means 30 operates and the first symbol of the first symbol variation display means 21 similarly varies for a predetermined time. That is, when the first symbol starting means 14 detects a game ball, the first symbol variation control means 30 draws a random number at that time and determines whether it is a jackpot random number, and is determined by the symbol random number according to the determination result. First symbol change display means to stop at the stop symbol
The symbol of each symbol display section 21 is changed for a predetermined time.

If the first symbol after the change of the first symbol change display means 21 stops at the big hit symbol such as "7.7 / 7", the first profit state generating means 34 operates. A first profit state occurs in which the opening / closing plate 27 of the variable winning means 15 opens forward. For this reason, most of the game balls falling from the upper side of the game board 4 easily enter the variable winning means 15 via the opening and closing plate 27, and once a big hit occurs on the first symbol change display means 21 side, the game Great profit will be returned to the people.

In the variable winning means 15, the opening and closing plate 27 closes when ten game balls win or when a predetermined time has elapsed. Then, if the winning game ball passes through the specific area 28 while the opening and closing plate 27 is open, the variable winning means 15 opens again,
The opening and closing operation is repeated up to 16 times.

On the other hand, the first profit state generating means 34
When the profit state ends, the second profit state generating means 35 operates, the counting section 36 is set to be capable of counting operation, the symbol determination section 37 is set to enable symbol determination, and the liquid crystal display section of the liquid crystal display means 13 is set. The first notification means 22 of 20 flashes and emits light to notify the player of the state. Therefore, the player sees the display of the first notification means 22, and knows that it is a so-called chance time until the display of the first notification means 22 disappears.

Thereafter, every time a game ball wins in the first symbol starting means 14, the fluctuating operation of the first symbol fluctuating display means 21 in which the first symbol fluctuates for a predetermined time and stops is repeated. The counting section 36 of the means 35 sequentially counts the number of times of the change operation, and the symbol determination section 37 displays the first symbol change display means 21.
It is sequentially determined whether or not the stop symbol after the change is a predetermined symbol.

If the stopped symbol after the change of the first symbol change display means 21 stops at a predetermined symbol such as "7.3.1" before the counting section 36 counts a predetermined number of times, the symbol is determined. The unit 37 determines that the stopped symbol is a predetermined symbol, and a second profit state in which the probability varying unit 38 operates is generated. For this reason, the probability changing unit 38 sets the stop probability of the first symbol change display unit 21 to the jackpot occurrence probability of the jackpot symbol as 1 / the normal probability.
Since the probability is changed from a low probability of about 250 to a high probability of about 1/50, the probability that the stopped symbol becomes a big hit symbol becomes large from the next fluctuation operation of the first symbol fluctuation display means 21, An advantageous situation appears.

When the second profit state occurs, the probability fluctuation section 38
When the jackpot occurrence probability becomes a high probability state, the second notification means 23 notifies the player of the fact by lighting or the like. For this reason, the player is informed of the high probability state by the display of the second notification means 23. When the symbol determination unit 37 determines the predetermined symbol and fluctuates, the symbol determination unit 37 resets the counting unit 36. Thereafter, the first symbol variation display unit 21
The counting section 36 does not count even if performs the fluctuation operation.

The first symbol change display means in the high probability state
The stop symbol after the change of 21 becomes a big hit symbol and becomes the first again
When the first profit state by the profit state generating means 34 occurs,
While each unit operates in the same manner as described above, the termination control unit 39 of the second profit state generating means 35 operates to return the probability fluctuation by the probability fluctuation unit 38 from a high probability to a normal low probability, and the second profit state ends. At the same time, the notification by the second notification means 23 ends.

If the stop symbol of the first symbol variation display means 21 does not become the predetermined symbol before the counting section 36 counts the number of variations of the first symbol variation display means 21, the predetermined number of times is counted. Then, the counting section 36 finishes counting, and the second profit state is not generated by the second profit state generating means 35.

FIG. 4 illustrates a second embodiment of the present invention,
When the second profit state is generated by the second profit state generating means 35, the hit occurrence probability of the second symbol change display means 24 is changed.

That is, in the first embodiment, as the second profit state by the second profit state generating means 35, the probability that the stopped symbol after the fluctuation of the first symbol fluctuation display means 21 becomes a big hit symbol is changed from a low probability to a high probability. Although the probability is fluctuated so as to increase to the probability, when the second profit state is generated by the second profit state generating means 35, the second profit state is set as the second profit state after the fluctuation of the second symbol change display means 24. May be changed so that the probability that the stop symbol becomes a winning symbol increases from a low probability to a high probability.

Also in this case, the second symbol state control means 32 is controlled by the second profit state generating means 35, and when the second profit state occurs, the winning symbol of the second symbol change display means 24 is generated. The probability is increased from a low probability of about 1/10, for example, to 1 /
What is necessary is just to change the probability to a high probability of about 2.

Therefore, when the probability of occurrence of hitting of the second symbol change display means 24 becomes large, the stop symbol of the second symbol change display means 24 becomes a hit symbol and the first symbol start means.
The opportunity to open the opening / closing claw 25 of 14 increases, and the possibility that a game ball wins in the first symbol starting means 14 increases. Therefore, a state advantageous to the player appears, and the first embodiment differs from the first embodiment. It can be implemented similarly.

FIG. 5 illustrates a third embodiment of the present invention,
When the second profit state is generated by the second profit state generating means 35, the opening time of the first symbol starting means 14 is extended. The second profit state generating means 35 is a counting unit
36, a symbol determination unit 37, an opening time control unit 40, and an end control unit 39.

When the symbol determining section 37 determines that the symbol is a predetermined symbol, the opening time control section 40 sets the opening time of the first symbol starting means 14 from a normal value, for example, about 0.5 to 1.0 second to 2 to 3 seconds. It has an opening time control function to make it as long as possible, and issues a control command to the opening / closing control means 33. The counting unit 3
6. The symbol determination unit 37 and the termination control unit 39 are functionally the same as in the first embodiment.

Also in this case, if the second profit state occurs, the opening time of the first symbol starting means 14 becomes longer, so that the game balls can easily win, and the first symbol starting means 14 receives the game balls. Since the number of opportunities increases, the number of times of change of the first symbol change display means 21 increases, and a state advantageous to the player appears.

FIG. 6 illustrates a fourth embodiment of the present invention,
When the second profit state is generated by the second profit state generating means 35, the second symbol fluctuation display means 24 shortens the fluctuation time of the second symbol.

The second profit state generating means 35 includes a counting section 36, a symbol determining section 37, a variable time control section 41, and an end control section 39. When the symbol determination unit 37 determines that the symbol is a predetermined symbol, the variation time control unit 41 reduces the variation time of the second symbol of the second symbol variation display unit 24 from, for example, about 10 seconds to about 3 seconds. It has a shortening function, and issues a control command to the second symbol variation control means 32. The counting unit
36, the symbol determination unit 37, and the end control unit 39 are functionally the same as in the first embodiment.

Also in this case, if the second profit state occurs, the fluctuation time of the second symbol of the second symbol fluctuation display means 24 becomes shorter. , The next fluctuating operation. For this reason, the number of changes per unit time of the second symbol variation display means 24 increases, and accordingly, the possibility that the stop symbol of the second symbol variation display means 24 becomes a hit symbol increases, which is advantageous to the player. A condition arises.

FIG. 7 illustrates a fifth embodiment of the present invention,
When the second profit state is generated by the second profit state generating means 35, the first symbol fluctuation display means 21 shortens the fluctuation time of the first symbol.

The second profit state generating means 35 includes a counting section 36, a symbol determining section 37, and a variable time control section 4 as in the fourth embodiment.
1, the end control unit 39, the fluctuation time control unit 41, when the symbol determination unit 37 determines a predetermined symbol, the first symbol fluctuation display means 21 of the first symbol fluctuation time of the normal, for example, 20 seconds It has a fluctuation time shortening function for shortening the time from about 10 seconds to about 10 seconds, and issues a control command to the first symbol fluctuation control means 30. In this case, it can be carried out in the same manner as described above.

The embodiments of the present invention have been described above.
The present invention is not limited to this. For example, an example may be used in each embodiment. It is sufficient that the first profit state generated by the first profit state generating means 34 is advantageous to the player, and the specific contents can be changed as appropriate in the entire game. The second profit state may be any state that works favorably for the player, and the content can be changed as appropriate in the entire game, and is not limited to each embodiment.

The second profit state ends when the first symbol fluctuation display means 21 fluctuates a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) from the occurrence of the second profit state, in addition to the occurrence of the next big hit. May be.

The first notifying means 22 and the second notifying means 23 can be replaced with a change of a symbol such as a background symbol or a character symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display section 20 of the liquid crystal display device 13. Further, the first notification means 22 and the second notification means 23 do not need to display the content of the notification so that the player can directly grasp or recognize the content, and there is some change in the game state before and after the notification. It may be a degree that is indirectly understood.
Alternatively, the notification may be made by voice.

Further, the first notification means 22 may be provided with a display unit for displaying the number of changes from the end of the first profit state or the number of remaining changes up to a predetermined number. The predetermined symbol different from the big hit symbol may be one type or a plurality of types. Further, the number of times set in the counting section 36 may be changed depending on the type of the big hit symbol.

The first symbol, the second symbol of the first symbol variation display means 21
The second symbol of the symbol variation display means 24 only needs to be one or more. Further, the first symbol and the second symbol themselves may be a number symbol, a character symbol, or any other symbol. Further, in each embodiment, the pachinko machine has been described, but the present invention can be similarly applied to other arrangement ball machines, sparrow ball game machines, and the like.

[0059]

According to the present invention, after the first profit state is completed, the first symbol change display means 21 changes a predetermined number of times.
A second profit state generating means 35 for generating a second profit state advantageous to the player when the stop symbol after the change of the first symbol fluctuation display means 21 becomes a predetermined symbol different from the big hit symbol.
And the first symbol change display means 21 after the end of the first profit state.
First notification means 22 for notifying the player that the time has changed until a predetermined number of times, and second notification means 23 for notifying the player when a predetermined symbol different from the big hit symbol is reached. Therefore, once the first profit state is generated, the first symbol fluctuation display means from the end of the first profit state until the first symbol fluctuation display means 21 fluctuates a predetermined number of times.
There is a possibility that the second profit state may occur depending on the 21 stop symbols, and this has the advantage that the interest of the player can be increased even after the end of the first profit state. Further, since the player can directly or indirectly grasp the game state by the notification of each notification means, there is an advantage that the notification can motivate the player to play the game.
