DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko machine, and more particularly, to a pachinko machine, which is provided with a symbol display for changing and displaying symbols, and a combination of symbols displayed on the symbol display is a specific combination. The present invention relates to a so-called symbol-matching type pachinko machine in which a "big hit state" advantageous to the player occurs in the case of "."

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a pachinko machine of the symbol matching type, a symbol on a normal symbol display section starts to change when a game ball passes through a predetermined area or wins in a predetermined winning opening, and after a predetermined time, a "hit" When the `` symbol '' is displayed, the ordinary electric accessory is opened, and the special symbol in the special symbol display section starts to fluctuate by the game ball winning the opening or closing the ordinary electric accessory, and the predetermined time is changed. What causes a "big hit" that is advantageous to the player when the "big hit symbol" is displayed later (a so-called type 1 pachinko machine with a normal electric accessory, hereinafter simply referred to as a type 1 pachinko machine)
It has been known. The general first-class pachinko machines are designed so that the game balls gradually decrease when the game state is other than the "big hit state", but some game balls pass through a predetermined area. The time from the start of the change of the ordinary symbol to the stop display (symbol variation time) when the player wins (or wins the predetermined winning opening) is reduced according to the game state (for example, 25 seconds in normal time after the power of the pachinko machine is turned on) Is reduced to 5 seconds until the special symbol fluctuates and displayed 50 times after the "big hit state" is completed, thereby making it easier to win a game ball by frequently opening an ordinary electric accessory,
Some are designed so that the decrease in game balls is moderate. Furthermore, some of these pachinko machines are designed so that the number of game balls hardly decreases when the fluctuation time of the symbol is shortened. In such a pachinko machine, the player can aim for the next "big hit" without using a new game ball while the fluctuation of the symbol is usually shortened, which is very advantageous for the player.

[0003]

However, in the conventional type 1 pachinko machine, the fluctuation of the ordinary symbol is limited to a period until the special symbol fluctuates and displayed a certain number of times after the "big hit state" is completed. When the state of shortening the time is set to occur, and the number of times of the special symbol that plays the state of shortening the fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol consumes a lot of game balls before generating the "big hit" In the case where a "big hit" can be generated by consuming a small amount of game balls, there is a drawback that the game content has no freshness and is tired by the player because it is exactly the same and is always constant.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a pachinko machine which solves the above-mentioned problems, has a fresh game content, has a high degree of interest, and allows a player to play a game forever.

[0005]

The structure of the present invention is as follows.
A special symbol display unit capable of displaying a plurality of special symbols, an ordinary symbol display unit capable of displaying a plurality of ordinary symbols,
When the normal symbol displayed on the normal symbol display section starts to fluctuate when the game ball passes through a predetermined area and the small hit is displayed after the fluctuation,
When the normal electric accessory is opened and the game ball wins the ordinary electric accessory, the special symbol displayed on the special symbol display section starts to change, and if a big hit is displayed after the change, a big hit state occurs. Winning opening intermittently opened

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the pachinko machine of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the front of a pachinko machine, and a substantially circular game section 2 is provided slightly above the center of the front of the pachinko machine 1. FIG.
Is an enlarged view of the game section 2 of the pachinko machine 1, and a special symbol display section 3 formed by a single liquid crystal plate is provided at the upper center of the game section 2; Is usually provided with an electric accessory 4. A left gate 5 and a right gate 6 are provided on both sides of the ordinary electric accessory 4, respectively, and a large winning opening 7, an illumination lamp 8 and the like are arranged below the ordinary electric accessory 4. Under the special winning opening 7, an ordinary symbol display section 9 is provided. In addition, the game part 2 is provided with various winning ports, windmills, illumination lamps, a large number of obstacle nails, and the like, in addition to the above.

The pachinko machine 1 is capable of driving a game ball into the game section 2 by operating the firing handle 15, and when the game ball has won the large winning opening 7, 15 prize balls are given. When the player wins another winning port, seven prize balls are paid out by a prize ball payout device (not shown).

In the pachinko machine 1, when a game ball passes through the left gate 5 or the right gate 6, the ordinary symbol displayed on the ordinary symbol display section 9 starts to change, and after the change, When the stop-displayed ordinary symbol is a specific symbol, the normally-closed ordinary electric accessory 4 is opened for a certain period of time. It should be noted that the pachinko machine 1 may be configured so that the normal symbol starts to change when the game ball wins a predetermined winning opening. In such a configuration, a normal symbol starts to fluctuate upon winning of a game ball, and a predetermined number of game balls are paid out. In addition, the ordinary electric accessory 4
When the game ball wins, each of the special symbols of the left symbol 10, the right symbol 11, and the middle symbol 12 displayed on the special symbol display section 3 starts to change. Then, when each of the special symbols stopped and displayed after a predetermined time becomes a specific combination, a “big hit state” that is advantageous to the player
Occurs, and the special winning opening 7 is intermittently opened with a very high probability. The special winning opening 7 is not opened except in the "big hit state", and when the closed state is set, the game ball does not win.

Further, the pachinko machine 1 has a FLUCRN which is a counter for determining the "small hit" of the ordinary symbol.
D, FSTPRND which is a counter for determining the "losing symbol" of the ordinary symbol, LUCRND which is a counter for determining the occurrence of the "big hit", and "big hit symbol" of the special symbol
, RNDA, RNDB, and R, which are counters for determining the "missing symbol" of each special symbol (left symbol 10, right symbol 11, middle symbol 12).
Each counter such as an NDC is incorporated. Further, in the pachinko machine 1, after the "big hit state" is completed, a "variation shortening state" occurs in which the fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol is reduced until the special symbol is changed and displayed a specific number of times. The machine 1 has a counter, CO, which limits the number of times of display of a special symbol (hereinafter simply referred to as the number of times of fluctuation reduction) that plays a state of shortening the fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol.
a is also built in.

FLU for determining the "small hit" of a normal symbol
The CRND performs a loop count while adding 1 every approximately 0.002 seconds from 0 to 5 (six types) from the time when the power is turned on (return to the minimum value 0 after the maximum value 5). In addition, FSTPRND that determines the "missing symbol" of the ordinary symbol is
The loop count is performed while adding 1 every approximately 0.012 seconds from 0 to 1 (two ways) from the time of turning on the power, and the counter value “0” is usually a symbol “−” and the counter value “1”. Generally corresponds to the symbol "_".

Further, L which determines the occurrence of the "big hit"
UCRND performs a loop count while adding 1 every approximately 0.002 seconds from 0 to 234 (235 patterns) from the time of power-on, and the LUCZGR that determines the "big hit symbol" of the special symbol is powered on. 0-15 (16
The loop count is performed while adding 1 by about every 0.481 seconds. The relationship between the LUCZGR counter value and the “big hit symbol” corresponding to the counter value is as shown in FIG. 4, and “A, A, A”, “1,
1,1 "," 2,2,2 "," 3,3,3 "," 4
4,4 "," 5,5,5 "," 6,6,6 "," 7,
7,7 ”,“ 8,8,8 ”,“ 9,9,9 ”,“ 10,1 ”
0, 10 "," J, J, J "," Q, Q, Q "," K,
The 16 patterns of "K, K", "heart, heart table, heart", "birch, birch, birch", "heart, heart back, heart" are all "big hits" (fig. 5).

The RNDA that determines the "missing symbol" of the left symbol 10 in the special symbol is 0 to 14 from the power-on.
(15 patterns), the loop count is performed while adding 1 every approximately 0.002 seconds, and the RNDB that determines the “missing symbol” of the right symbol 11 is 0 when the RNDA changes from 14 to 0. The loop count is performed while adding 1 at a time between 14 (15 patterns), and the RNDC that determines the “losing symbol” of the middle symbol 12 is 0 to 15 (16 patterns) when the RNDB changes from 14 to 0. Loop counting is performed while adding the interval one by one. Note that RNDA, RND
The relationship between the B and RNDC counter values and the symbols corresponding to the counter values is as shown in FIG.

Hereinafter, the game contents of the pachinko machine of the first embodiment will be described.

When a game ball hit by the player into the game section 2 passes through the left gate 5 or the right gate 6, the ordinary symbol displayed on the ordinary symbol display section 4 starts to change. On the other hand, the value of FLUCRND at the moment when the game ball passes the left gate or the right gate is stored as the (normal) pattern hit determination data. Simultaneously with the start of the change of the ordinary symbol, the stored ordinary symbol hit determination data is taken out, and the hit determination of the ordinary symbol is performed. If the judgment data is "4" or "5", it is "small hit", and in other cases (that is, 0, 1, 2, 3), it is "miss". As described above, the probability that the symbol usually becomes "small hit" is 1/3 (2/6).

As a result of the hit determination, if it is determined that the hit is "small hit", "7" is displayed on the normal symbol display section 9 as the stop symbol of the current round, and the normal electric accessory 4 is approximately 1.4.
Open for seconds. If it is determined to be "out", the symbol (i.e., "-" or "_") corresponding to the counter value of FSTPRND at that time is displayed on the ordinary symbol display section 9 as the symbol of the current stop. When a game ball passes through the left gate 5 or the right gate 6 during the change of the normal symbol or the opening of the normal electric accessory 4, up to four normal balls are stored as the next normal symbol starting memory. Also,
The fluctuation time of the normal symbol is about 30 seconds in cases other than the fluctuation shortening state described later.

When the game ball wins the ordinary electric accessory 4, the left symbol 10 and the right symbol 1 of the special symbol display section 3 are displayed.
1. The middle symbol 12 starts to change. It should be noted that, even if the ordinary electric accessory 4 is in the closed state, the game ball can be won with a low probability. Furthermore, when the game ball wins the ordinary electric accessory 4, LUCRND, R at that moment
The values of the counters NDA, RNDB, and RNDC are stored. Note that when a special game is changed or the gaming ball wins a normal electric auditorium during the "big hit state", a maximum of four special symbol starting memories are stored as the next and subsequent special symbol starting memories.

After the values of the LUCRND, RNDA, RNDB, and RNDC counters at the moment when the game ball has won the ordinary electric accessory 4 are stored, first, the value of LUCRND is taken out and a jackpot determination is made. LUCRND
Is determined to be a "big hit" if the value of is "4",
If it is other than "4", it is determined to be "out".

If it is determined to be a "big hit", the "big hit symbol (see FIG. 5)" corresponding to the value of LUCZGR at the moment of the determination is used as a special symbol display unit as a stop symbol (display symbol) for that time. Will be displayed. The special design is
In normal cases other than the fluctuation shortening time described below,
After the high-speed fluctuation is continued for 4.325 seconds, the low-speed fluctuation occurs, and the display is stopped after a predetermined time. Then, a "big hit state" advantageous to the player occurs.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the character is "out of place", the symbols are changed and then the stored RNDA and RND are stored.
B, the symbol corresponding to the value of RNDC (see FIG. 6) is displayed on the special symbol display unit 3 as the stop symbol (display symbol) for that time. However, the stored RNDA, RNDB,
If the value of the RNDC is equivalent to the “big hit symbol”, subtract 1 from the value stored only in the RNDC,
The symbol corresponding to the value is displayed (therefore, for example, when it is determined that "losing"
When RNDA = 1, RNDB = 1, and RNDC = 1 are stored, “outside symbol” of “2, 2, A” is displayed on the special symbol display section 3 as a left symbol, a right symbol, and a middle symbol. ).

When the "big hit state" occurs, a predetermined illumination lamp blinks, a sound effect is generated, and the atmosphere is excited.

When the "big hit state" occurs, the special winning opening 7 is opened for 25 seconds or until a winning of nine game balls is detected. A placement portion 13 is provided inside the special winning opening 7 as shown in FIG.
One game ball can be placed during the opening of the game. When a game ball is placed on the mounting portion 13 during opening of the special winning opening 7, the game ball placed when the special winning opening 7 closes flows down to the rear of the special winning opening 7. Then, it passes through a specific area (not shown), and is opened again approximately two seconds after the large winning opening 7 is closed (that is, the game ball is loaded when the large winning opening 7 is opened). The large winning opening 7 repeats the opening operation intermittently when it is placed on the placing portion 13). In one “big hit state”, the special winning opening 7 is up to 16
It opens intermittently until the time.

When the "big hit state" ends, a "variation shortening state" occurs in which the fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol is shortened until the special symbol is changed and displayed a specific number of times. The specific number of times, that is, the number of fluctuation reductions, is automatically set to 50 times at the end of the first “big hit state” after power-on, but at the end of the second and subsequent “big hit states”,
The variation is set in accordance with the number of times the special symbol has been changed and displayed from the end of the previous “big hit” to the occurrence of the “big hit” in the current round.

FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing the contents of the operation in the change setting. The first "big hit" occurs after the power is turned on (step 1), and the first time the "big hit state" ends, the first time. A "fluctuation shortening state" occurs (step 2), and a numerical value of "50" is automatically set in COa as the fluctuation shortening frequency (step 3). Then, when the special symbol fluctuates due to the winning of the game ball in the ordinary electric auditors product 4 and is stopped and displayed (step 4), the value of COa is decremented by "1" from "50" for each fluctuation display (step 4). Step 5). The numerical value of COa is
Each time the count value is decremented by "1", it is determined whether or not the number is greater than "0" (step 6). If it is determined to be "0" or less, the "fluctuation shortening state" ends (step 6). Step 7), returning to the same state as after power-on.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the numerical value of COa is greater than "0", it is determined whether or not the second "big hit" has occurred (step 8), and it is determined that the second "big hit" has occurred. If it is determined (that is, after the first “big hit state”, before the special symbol fluctuates 50 times, 2
When the "big hit" occurs for the first time, for example, when the "big hit" occurs in the 40th variation display of the special symbol, the numerical value of the COa is set to "10 (50-40)".
“50”, which is the number of times of the fluctuation reduction (ie, the previous fluctuation reduction number), is added, and the added numerical value “60 (10
+50) "is reset to COa as the second variation reduction number (step 9). In the second “variation shortening state”, when the third “big hit” occurs while the numerical value of COa is determined to be larger than “0” (that is, after the second “big hit state” ends, If the third "big hit" occurs before the special symbol exceeds the second variation reduction count and changes and is displayed, for example, if the "big hit" occurs in the 20th variation display of the special symbol, COa The numerical value added to the numerical value “40 (60−20)” is the second variation reduction number “60”, and the third variation reduction number is “100 (40 + 60)”.
The same applies to the case where the “big hit” has occurred after the fourth time.

In the pachinko machine according to the first embodiment, during the game, every time the "big hit state" ends after the "big hit" and the "variation shortening state" occurs, the above operation is repeated. Therefore, as a result, the previous "big hit condition"
Only when the "big hit" is generated in the special symbol change display less than the change reduction number set after the end, the change reduction number of that time is reduced by the number of the smaller difference, This will be set to be greater than the previous number of fluctuation reductions.

In the "variation shortened state", when the game ball passes through the left gate 5 or the right gate 6, 5.1.
A 6-second timer is set, and the symbols usually fluctuate for the remaining time of the timer. However, when the remaining time of the timer is 0.573 seconds or less, the time fluctuates for 0.573 seconds.

In the "variation shortened state", not only the fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol but also the fluctuation time of the special symbol is reduced. Usually, the special symbol continues to fluctuate for 4.325 seconds and then fluctuates at low speed, and is stopped and displayed after a predetermined time. Is set, and high-speed fluctuation is performed for the remaining time of the timer plus 0.098 seconds. When the remaining time of the timer is less than 1.015 seconds, the high-speed fluctuation is continued for 1.015 + 0.098 seconds, and then the fluctuation becomes a low-speed fluctuation.

As shown in FIG. 9, the special symbol display section 3 is provided with a fluctuation reduction number display window 14, and the number of fluctuation reduction times (ie, after the “big hit state” ends,
The numerical value in which Oa is set) is displayed at the set time, and the remaining number of fluctuation reductions (that is, the numerical value of COa) in the “variation reduction state” or the digested fluctuation reduction number is switchably displayed. And is notified to the player. In this case, as shown in FIG. 10A, the display of the number of times of change reduction may be configured to be displayed together with the probability that the “big hit state” occurs during the “change reduction state” (one change. Since the probability of the occurrence of the “big hit state” is 1/235, for example, when the number of times of change reduction is 60, the probability of the “big hit state” occurring in the “change reduction state” is 2
5.5% (displayed as (1/235) * 60)). Further, when the display of the number of times of change reduction is displayed together with the probability of the occurrence of the "big hit state" in the "change reduction state", as the change display of the special symbol is repeated (that is, the special symbol that has not been digested) (As the number of variable display of the number decreases)
May be displayed in such a manner that the probability of occurrence of decreases. In addition, the display of the fluctuation reduction times display window 14 is as follows.
As shown in FIG. 10 (b), it is also possible to configure so that the number of times of display of the special symbol is normally integrated and displayed in the normal state, and the remaining number of times of change reduction is displayed during the "change in reduced state". In addition, the display of the fluctuation reduction number display window 14 can adopt any of a digital system and an analog system.

In the "variation shortened state", the fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol is shortened, so that the number of times of opening of the ordinary electric accessory 4 per fixed time is increased as compared with the normal time, and the game ball is transferred to the ordinary electric accessory 4. It becomes easy to win. Therefore, the number of prize balls that can be obtained is increased, so that the consumption of the game balls possessed by the player is moderate compared with the normal time (other than the “big hit state”). Furthermore, during the "shortened fluctuation state",
Since the fluctuation time of the special symbol is also reduced, and the fluctuation is frequently performed and stopped, the probability of occurrence of a “big hit” per fixed time is increased as compared with the normal time. This is advantageous for the player.

As described above, in the pachinko machine according to the first embodiment, the number of times of fluctuation reduction after the “big hit state” is changed in accordance with the number of fluctuation display of the special symbol required until the “big hit state” occurs. For players whose special symbol fluctuations from the end of the previous "big hit" to the occurrence of the "big hit" are less than the "shortened number of fluctuations" set after the end of the previous "big hit" ,
The smaller number of times gives a great privilege that the number of fluctuation reduction times after the end of the “big hit state” is set more. Therefore, even after the "big hit" has occurred once, the player can continue playing with interest while expecting the next "big hit" to occur immediately.

In the pachinko machine according to the first embodiment, the numerical value to be added to the COa in the above step 9 can always be a prescribed numerical value (for example, "50") (FIG. 11).
reference). In the case of such a configuration, as a result, only when the "big hit" is generated in the special symbol change display of a smaller number of times than the change reduction number set after the end of the previous "big hit state". Thus, the number of times of the variation reduction is set to be larger than the specified number of times by the number of the smaller difference.

[Second Embodiment] The operation of the pachinko machine of the second embodiment is substantially the same as that of the pachinko machine of the first embodiment, and a "shortened fluctuation state" occurs after the end of the "big hit state". From 0 to 9 (10 ways) from power-on
A counter (RND) that counts in a loop while adding 1 every about 0.002 seconds is built in. According to the value of RND taken out during the “fluctuation shortening state”,
The number of times the fluctuation is reduced is increased.

FIG. 12 is a flow chart showing the operation of the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment.
Step 3 operates in the same manner as the pachinko machine of the first embodiment,
After the power is turned on, the first "big hit" occurs, and when the "big hit state" ends thereafter, the first "fluctuation shortening state" occurs, and the COa has "50" as the fluctuation shortening frequency.
Is set automatically. However, in the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment, Step 4 is performed in Step 4a.
First, at step 4a, when a special symbol fluctuates due to a prize of a game ball to the ordinary electric accessory 4 and is stopped and displayed, at step 4b, the RND A number is taken out and it is determined whether or not the value is 4, and only when it is determined that it is not 4,
In step 5, the numerical value of COa is counted down by "1" from "50". On the other hand, if it is determined in step 4b that the value of RND is 4, the value of COa is not counted down. Therefore, for example, when the number of times of change reduction is set to 50 times, the special symbol is changed and displayed 50 times, and the numerical value of RND is repeatedly taken out 50 times, and “4” is taken out 5 times, as a result, The number of fluctuation reductions will be increased to 55 times. In the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment, the COa is always set to “50” after the “big hit state” ends.

During the "variation shortening state", the remaining number of fluctuation reductions (that is, C
The numerical value of Oa) or the number of reduced fluctuations that have been consumed are displayed so as to be switchable, and are notified to the player.

In the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment configured as described above, the "variation shortening state" may be terminated when the special symbol is displayed 50 times, or may be ended even when the special symbol is displayed more than 51 times. In some cases, the player
It is possible to continue playing with interest while expecting that the number of fluctuation reductions will be increased more.

[Third Embodiment] The operation of the pachinko machine of the third embodiment is also substantially the same as that of the pachinko machines of the first and second embodiments, and the "shortened fluctuation state" occurs after the "big hit state" ends. , This pachinko machine has been
A counter (COb) for loop counting while adding 1 every about 0.004 seconds between 9 (300 patterns) is built in, and C is taken out immediately after the occurrence of the "big hit"
According to the numerical value of Ob, the number of times of the fluctuation reduction is changed.

In the pachinko machine of the third embodiment,
During the "big hit" state, a "Bingo game" is played on the LCD screen of the special symbol display, and immediately after the "big hit"
The number of times of the fluctuation reduction set in accordance with the numerical value of Ob is displayed as a result of the “bingo game” (that is, “the number of rows in which numbers are arranged”).

FIG. 13 shows the value of COb to be extracted and
The result of "Bingo game"("Number of rows with numbers") and
This shows the relationship with the number of fluctuation reductions. For example, the value of COb extracted immediately after the occurrence of the “big hit” is “1”.
In the case of “99”, the number of fluctuation reductions is “100”, and the “1” column number is lined up in the “Bingo game”.

On the other hand, FIGS. 14 and 15 show the contents of the "Bingo game" performed on the liquid crystal screen of the special symbol display unit 3 during the occurrence of the "big hit state". During the "big hit state", the big winning opening 7 has an extremely high probability of 1
The intermittent opening is performed six times, and the image of the liquid crystal screen of the special symbol display unit 3 is switched in conjunction with the intermittent opening of the sixteen times, and at the time of the first opening to the sixth opening,
The contents of the “Bingo game” will be explained, and the “Bingo game” will be played when the game is opened for the seventh and subsequent times.
The number of times of the fluctuation reduction is displayed as a result of the “Bingo game” (hereinafter, one opening of the special winning opening 7 is referred to as one round).

Each of the screens of the special symbol display section 3 in the first to sixth rounds shows a description of the bingo game. The explanation is made by me, Muku (character name)
is. ”,“ Chickens lay eggs with numbers ”,“ Punch holes in the squares with the same number as eggs of bingo cards ”,“ Lay eggs with the second and third eggs and do the same. "Lucky if five numbers are arranged in one of the vertical, horizontal or diagonal rows" and "Let's go, Let's BINGO!" Is displayed,
The contents of the “Bingo game” will be described.

On the screen of the following seven rounds, the following message is displayed: "The chicken lays one numbered egg, and the bingo card corresponding to the number (the bingo card has a plurality of numbers (not shown)).
Is randomly described), a moving image showing a state in which a hole is formed in the square. In addition, the display of this animation shows that the chicken lays an egg (FIG. 14 (a)), the crab grabs the egg with scissors and picks it up (FIG. 14 (b)), and zooms in on the egg caught by the crab. The number attached to becomes gradually larger so that the player can confirm it (FIG. 14).
(C)), while switching while sliding on the screen showing the bingo card, the egg caught by the crab falls and moves to the center of the bingo card (FIG. 14 (d)), and the numbered egg is reduced in size and displayed on the screen. Move to one corner of
(E), (f)), moles appeared from the squares of the bingo card having the same number as the number attached to the egg (FIG. 14 (g)),
The mole is beaten with a tongue like "mole tapping", the mole is retracted (FIG. 14 (h)), and the cells are in a state of being pierced (FIG. 15 (a)). On the outside (left side) of one end of the bingo card, from the top, in order from the top, a “big hit symbol (the symbol when the“ big hit ”occurred)”, the number of rounds (the number of the round), and the size of the round The winning number of the winning opening 7 is displayed.

In the screen of 8 rounds to 16 rounds,
A "moving image showing that chickens lay the second to tenth eggs and holes are made in squares of bingo cards corresponding to the respective numbers" is repeatedly displayed (FIG. 15).
(A), (b)). It should be noted that a “moving image showing a state in which a mole appears from an already opened hole and is hit with a snap like“ mole hit ”” is displayed as needed (FIG. 15).
(C)). Then, on the screen of the 16th round, if there is at least one row of numbers after laying the tenth egg, if the three-dimensional character of “BINGO” is pierced from the back of the bingo card and Appearing video "is displayed. On the other hand, if there is no column with numbers,
A “moving image in which a three-dimensional character“ sorry ”falls from above” is displayed.

When the "big hit" occurs,
If a specific "big hit symbol" such as "3,3,3" or "7,7,7" is displayed, after the 16th round, as an extra chance, "the number attached to the eleventh egg" Movie showing how holes are drilled in the corresponding bingo card squares "is displayed, and there is at least one row of numbers after the holes are drilled in the squares with the numbers attached to the eleventh egg Displays a "moving image in which a three-dimensional character of" BINGO "appears through the card from the back of the bingo card". If there is no row of numbers, " Video with three-dimensional characters dropping "
Is displayed.

When the "moving image showing a state in which a hole is formed in the square of the bingo card corresponding to the number assigned to the eleventh egg" is displayed, as shown in FIG. After laying the first egg, the egg with the “?” Mark switches while sliding on the screen showing the bingo card drawn on the outside (right side) of the cell (a), 1
After laying 0 eggs, the eleventh egg with a "?" Mark moves to the center of the bingo card while zooming in (b), and the egg breaks and a numbered egg appears from the inside (C), and a mole appears from the square of the bingo card having the same number as the number attached to the egg (d).

In the pachinko machine of the third embodiment,
The relationship between the value of the COb to be taken out, the result of the “Bingo game”, and the number of times of fluctuation reduction can be set arbitrarily, so that it is easy to perform a pitching adjustment and the like.

During the “variation shortening state”, the remaining number of fluctuation reduction times is the same as in the pachinko machine of the first or second embodiment.
Alternatively, the number of times the fluctuation has been shortened is indicated by the fluctuation reduction number
4 and is notified to the player.

As described above, in the pachinko machine according to the third embodiment, the number of fluctuation reductions after the end of the “big hit state” is determined by the number of COb randomly extracted from values of 0 to 199 immediately after the occurrence of the “big hit”. The player decides whether or not a "big hit" has occurred since the lottery result is displayed as the result of the "bingo game" performed on the special symbol display section during the "big hit state" while being linked to the value. Not only do they pay attention to the special symbol change / stop display, but they also pay great attention to the “Bingo game” performed during the “big hit state”, so that they can enjoy twice as much fun. Therefore, it is possible to continue playing with interest without getting tired.

[Embodiment 4] The configuration of the pachinko machine of Embodiment 4 is also substantially the same as that of the pachinko machines of Embodiments 1 to 3.
After the "big hit state", the "variation shortening state" occurs. However, this pachinko machine has a built-in timer T, and the normal symbol is only displayed during the time specified by the timer T (hereinafter referred to as the fluctuation shortening time). The fluctuating time is shortened.

FIG. 17 is a flow chart showing the operation contents of the pachinko machine of the fourth embodiment during the fluctuation shortening time. Steps 1 and 2 operate in the same manner as the pachinko machine of the first embodiment. The first "big hit" occurs after the throw-in, and when the "big hit state" ends, 1
The second “fluctuation shortening state” occurs. In the next step 3, unlike the pachinko machine of the first embodiment, T is set to 10 minutes as a fluctuation shortening time. In the following step 4, T
It is repeatedly determined at a short time interval whether or not the time set in T remains, and if it is determined that the time set in T does not remain (that is, 10 minutes after the occurrence of the “shortened fluctuation state”). ), The “variation shortened state” ends. In addition, when the fluctuation shortening time is set to 10 minutes, and the normal symbol is fluctuating 10 minutes after the occurrence of the “fluctuation shortening state”, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol during the fluctuation is shortened. That is, if the normal symbol is in the “variation shortened state” at the time of starting the fluctuation, the fluctuation time is reduced.

In the pachinko machine according to the fourth embodiment, the variation reduction time set in T can be changed as appropriate. Further, the pachinko machine according to the fourth embodiment is configured such that the fluctuation shortening time set in T fluctuates according to the game content (for example, the “big hit symbol” of “7, 7, 7” or “3, 3, 3”). Is displayed, the fluctuation shortening time is lengthened). further,
T may be configured such that the remaining time is reduced only during operation of the operating handle by the player.

In the "variation shortening state", the set variation shortening time, the remaining variation reducing time, or the consumed variation reducing time is displayed in the variation reducing number display window 14, so that the player is notified. It has become.

As described above, in the pachinko machine according to the fourth embodiment, the length of the period of the “shortened fluctuation state” that occurs after the end of the “big hit state” is limited by the time, so that the player can reduce the time required. It is possible to play with interest while having great expectation that the next “big hit” will occur.

In each of the above embodiments, the present invention is applied to the first embodiment.
Although an example of application to a kind of pachinko machine has been described, the pachinko machine of the present invention can also be applied to other types of pachinko machines. Further, the configuration of the pachinko machine of the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, but includes the shape and number of various winning openings, arrangement of obstacle nails, normal symbols, display of special symbols, and large prizes. The gist of the present invention is the structure of the mouth, the operation contents, the structure and function of the ordinary electric accessory, the operation contents in the jackpot state, the operation contents when setting the number of times of fluctuation and the fluctuation reduction time, the operation contents in the fluctuation shortening state, etc. Can be appropriately changed without departing from the range.

[0055]

According to the pachinko machine of the present invention, the game is progressively displayed on the special symbol display section in conjunction with the intermittent opening of the special winning opening, and when a predetermined display result is obtained in the game and when the predetermined result is obtained. In the case where a display result different from the display result of is obtained, the opening mode of the ordinary electric auditorium after the end of the jackpot state is different, and the value for the player is different, so that the player determines whether the jackpot state occurs. Not only pay attention to the change and stop display of the special symbol to be decided, but also pay attention to the game played in conjunction with the intermittent opening of the big win during the jackpot, so to say, enjoy the double chance You can keep playing with interest without getting tired.
