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 specifically, it is provided with a symbol display section for variably displaying symbols, and the combination of symbols displayed on the symbol display section is a specific combination. The present invention relates to a so-called pattern-matching type pachinko machine, in which a "big hit state" that is advantageous to the player occurs.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a symbol-matching type pachinko machine, when a game ball passes through a predetermined area or enters a predetermined winning opening, the symbol on the normal symbol display portion starts to change, and after a predetermined time, "win" When the "design" is displayed, the ordinary electric accessory opens, and the special symbol on the special symbol display section starts changing by the game ball winning the opening or closing of the ordinary electric accessory, and the predetermined time has passed. What causes a "big hit" that is advantageous to the player when a "big hit pattern" is displayed later (a so-called first-class pachinko machine with ordinary electric accessories, hereinafter simply referred to as "first-class pachinko machine")
It has been known.

Usually, the type 1 pachinko machine is designed to gradually decrease the game balls acquired by the player when the game state is other than the "big hit state".
When a specific "big hit pattern" is displayed and "big hit" occurs, from the end of the "big hit state" of the time until the next "big hit" occurs, " The number of game balls to be paid out is increased by a method such as improving the hit probability "display probability (that is, the probability of opening an ordinary electric accessory), and there is also one configured so that the game balls are hardly reduced (hereinafter , A state in which the probability of displaying a "hit symbol" in the normal symbol display section is high is called a "high probability state". In such a "high probability state", it is possible to aim for the next "big hit" occurrence without consuming the game ball, which is very advantageous for the player.

[0004]

However, the control of the number of game balls to be paid out in the "high probability state" is
Because it is extremely difficult, with the conventional type 1 pachinko machine,
Despite the intention that the number of game balls does not change during the "high probability state", the number of game balls may decrease, and on the contrary, the number of game balls may increase. It was The situation in which the number of game balls decreases during the "high probability state" is unpleasant for the player, and the situation in which the number of game balls fluctuates is not preferable for the pachinko hall that manages the ball.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and provide a first type of pachinko machine capable of controlling the number of game balls to be paid out in a "high probability state" with high accuracy and suppressing fluctuations in the number of game balls. To do.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] Of the present invention, the configuration of the invention according to claim 1 is a special symbol display portion capable of displaying a plurality of special symbols, and a normal symbol capable of displaying a plurality of ordinary symbols. Having a display unit and an ordinary electric accessory, the ordinary symbol displayed on the ordinary symbol display unit starts to fluctuate by the game ball passing through a predetermined area or winning a predetermined winning opening,
When the hit symbol is displayed on the normal symbol display part after the change, the special electric symbol displayed on the special symbol display part starts to fluctuate as the ordinary electric accessory opens and the game ball wins the normal electric accessory. However, when a big hit symbol is displayed in the special symbol display portion after the change, it is a pachinko machine in which a jackpot state advantageous to the player occurs, and when the jackpot symbol is a specific symbol, after the jackpot state ends. , While causing a specific game state in which the probability that a hit symbol is displayed on the ordinary symbol display portion increases, the ordinary electric accessory is limited in the number of game balls that can be won in one opening. In addition, in the specific game state, each time a certain number of game balls are won in the ordinary electric auditors product, one game ball is entered in the ordinary electric auditors product next time.
Set a timer for a predetermined time at the time of winning the prize, and
The number that is one less than the specific number counted from the winning of the game ball
When winning the game ball from the ordinary electric accessory,
If the normal symbol changes in the symbol display area,
The predetermined time has elapsed after setting the timer
Until the normal pattern continues to change until the normal
When the normal symbol does not change in the symbol display area
, The specified time has elapsed since the timer was set.
Until passing, the game ball passes through in the predetermined area thereafter
Alternatively, it is started when the game ball is won into the predetermined prize hole.
By continuing to change the normal symbol and adjusting the change time of the normal symbol, it is possible to suppress the change in the number of game balls to be paid out in the specific game state.

The structure of the invention according to claim 2 has a special symbol display portion capable of displaying a plurality of special symbols, a normal symbol display portion capable of displaying a plurality of ordinary symbols, and an ordinary electric accessory. , When the game ball passes through a predetermined area or wins a predetermined winning opening, the normal symbol displayed in the normal symbol display section starts to change, and when the hit symbol is displayed in the normal symbol display section after the change, With the opening of the normal electric accessory, the special symbol displayed on the special symbol display part starts to fluctuate by the game ball winning the ordinary electric accessory, and after the change, the jackpot symbol is displayed on the special symbol display part. In case,
A pachinko machine in which a jackpot state that is advantageous to the player occurs, and when the jackpot symbol is a specific symbol, a specific game in which the probability that a hit symbol is displayed on the normal symbol display unit after the jackpot state is increased increases. While raising the state, the normal electric auditors product is limited in the number of game balls that can be won in one opening, and the normal electric auditors product is opened a specific number of times in the specific gaming state. Each time, the normal electric accessory is opened next time.
When it is completed, set a timer for a predetermined time and open it
From the above-mentioned ordinary electricity, which is less than the specified number of times
When opening a moving object, it is normal in the normal symbol display section
If the design fluctuates, set the timer
After the specified time has elapsed, the normal pattern changes
Continue until the timer counts up.
On the other hand, the normal symbol changes in the normal symbol display section.
If not, after setting the timer
Until the predetermined time passes, the predetermined area thereafter
Passing the game ball at or the game ball to the predetermined prize hole
By continuing the fluctuation of the normal symbol that starts with a prize and adjusting the fluctuation time of the normal symbol, it is possible to suppress the fluctuation of the number of game balls to be paid out in the specific game state.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An embodiment of a pachinko machine of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[Embodiment 1] FIG. 1 shows the front of a pachinko machine, and a substantially circular game area 2 is provided slightly above the center of the front of the pachinko machine 1. In addition, FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the game area 2 of the pachinko machine 1, and in the upper center of the game area 2, a special symbol display portion 3 formed by one liquid crystal plate is provided. A tulip-shaped ordinary electric accessory 4 is provided on the lower side thereof. A left gate 5 and a right gate 6 are provided on both sides of the ordinary electric accessory 4, and a big winning hole 7, an electric lamp 8 and the like are arranged below the ordinary electric accessory 4. The normal symbol display portion 9 is provided on the upper side of the special symbol display portion 3. In addition to these, the game area 2 is provided with various winning holes, a windmill, an electric lamp, a large number of obstacle nails, and the like.

The pachinko machine 1 is designed so that a game ball can be driven into the game area 2 by operating the firing handle 14, and when the game ball wins the special winning opening 7, 15 prize balls are awarded. When other prize holes (normal electric accessory 4 etc.) are won, five prize balls are paid out by a prize ball payout device (not shown).

In addition, the pachinko machine 1 is designed so that when the game ball passes through the left gate 5 or the right gate 6, the ordinary symbol displayed on the ordinary symbol display portion 4 starts to change, and after the change. When the stop-displayed normal symbol is a specific symbol, the normal electric accessory 4 which is normally closed is opened for a predetermined time. The pachinko machine 1 may be configured such that the normal symbol starts to change when the game ball wins a predetermined winning opening. In such a configuration, the winning of the game ball causes the normal symbol to start changing and a predetermined number of game balls to be paid out. Furthermore, the ordinary electric accessory 4
When the game ball is won, each special symbol of the left symbol 10, the right symbol 11, and the middle symbol 12 displayed on the special symbol display portion 3 is adapted to start changing. Then, when each special symbol stopped and displayed after a predetermined time becomes a specific combination, a "big hit state" advantageous to the player.
Occurs, and the special winning opening 7 is configured to open intermittently with an extremely high probability. The special winning opening 7 is designed so as not to be opened except in the "big hit state", and the game balls are not to be won in the closed state.

Further, the pachinko machine 1 is a FLUCRN which is a counter for determining a "small hit" of a normal symbol.
D, FSTPRND that is a counter that determines the "outlier symbol" of the normal symbol, LUCRND that is a counter that determines the occurrence of the "big hit", "big hit symbol" of the special symbol
LUCZGR, which is a counter for determining, and RNDA, RNDB, R, which are counters for determining "outlier symbol" of each special symbol (left symbol 10, right symbol 11, middle symbol 12)
Each counter such as NDC is built in.

FLU for determining "small hits" of ordinary symbols
CRND is 0 to 469 (470 ways) when the power is turned on.
During this period, the loop count is performed while incrementing by 1 every approximately 0.002 seconds (the maximum value 469 is returned to the minimum value 0 next). In addition, the FS that determines the "outlier design" of the ordinary design
TPRND is a loop count while incrementing by 1 every 0.012 seconds from 0 to 1 (two ways) after the power is turned on, and the counter value "0" is normally a symbol "-" and the counter value “1” corresponds to the normal symbol “_”, respectively.

Furthermore, L that determines the occurrence of a "big hit"
UCRND is counting from 0 to 234 (235 ways) from when the power is turned on by incrementing by 1 every 0.002 seconds, and LUCZGR that determines the "big hit symbol" of the special symbol is powered on. From 0 to 15 (16
The road count is incremented by 1 every 0.481 seconds, and the loop count is performed. The relationship between the counter value of LUCZGR and the "big hit symbol" corresponding to the counter value is as shown in FIG. 3, 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", "bag, bag, bag", "heart, back of heart, heart" are all "big hit patterns" (Figure 4).

RNDA for determining the "outside symbol" of the left symbol 10 out of the special symbols is 0 to 14 from the time of power-on.
The loop count is performed by adding 1 every 0.002 seconds between (15 ways), and the RNDB that determines the “off symbol” of the right symbol 11 is 0 when RNDA becomes 14 to 0. The loop count is performed while adding 1 to each of 14 (15 ways), and the RNDC that determines the “outlier symbol” of the middle symbol 12 is 0 to 15 (16 ways) when RNDB changes from 14 to 0. Loop counting is performed while incrementing by 1 each. In addition, RNDA, RND
The relationship between the counter value of B and RNDC and the symbol corresponding to the counter value is as shown in FIG.

The pachinko machine 1 is also provided with a special symbol display section 3
"3,3,3", or "7,7,7""big hit design" (hereinafter, this "big hit design" is "specific design"
When a "big hit" occurs, the "big hit state" ends and the "big hit" occurrence probability and the "small hit" occurrence probability of the normal pattern increase, and A state in which the opening time of the electric accessory becomes long (hereinafter, this state is referred to as a "high probability state") is configured to occur.

Further, the pachinko machine 1 has a firing handle 1
4 is adjusted to shoot game balls at a pace of about 100 per minute, and in the normal state (game state other than "big hit state" and "high probability state"), a normal electric accessory Other than 4, the game balls are adjusted so as not to win, and the game balls are closed at a pace of about 6 per minute. It is adjusted so that (5 (the number of game balls to be paid out by winning one prize in the ordinary electric accessory 4) x 6 times (the number of winnings in the ordinary electric accessory 4 per minute)) . Therefore, in the normal state,
The number of game balls is reduced by about 70 (100 (the number of game balls shot) -30 (the number of game balls paid out)) per minute.

The operation contents of the pachinko machine of the first embodiment will be described below.

When the game ball hit by the player in the game area 2 passes through the left gate 5 or the right gate 6, the normal symbol displayed on the normal symbol display portion 4 starts to change. On the other hand, the value of FLUCRND at the moment when the game ball passes through the left gate or the right gate is stored as (normal) symbol-per-judgment determination data. Then, at the same time as the start of change of the normal symbol, the stored normal symbol hit determination data is extracted, and the hit determination of the normal symbol is performed. When the determination data is "0" to "46", it is "small hit", and in other cases ("47" to "469"), it is "off." In this way, the probability that a normal symbol is a "small hit" is 1/10 (47/470).

If the result of the hit determination is "small hit", "7" is displayed on the normal symbol display portion 9 as a stop symbol for that time and the normal electric accessory 4 is about 0.2.
Open for seconds or until one game ball is won. Also, if it is determined to be “out”, FSTPR at that time
The symbol corresponding to the counter value of ND (that is, "-" or "_") is displayed on the normal symbol display portion 9 as the symbol for that time. When the game ball passes through the left gate 5 or the right gate 6 while the normal symbol is changing or the normal electric accessory 4 is opened, up to four normal symbol starting memories are stored up to the next time. Moreover, the variation time of the normal symbol in the normal state is about 29 seconds.

When the game ball is won in the ordinary electric accessory 4, the left symbol 10 and the right symbol 1 of the special symbol display portion 3
1, the middle pattern 12 starts to change. It should be noted that the ordinary electric auditors product 4 is designed to win game balls even in the closed state (adjusted to win about six game balls per minute). Furthermore, when the game ball wins the ordinary electric accessory 4, LUCRND, RNDA, RNDB at that moment,
The value of each counter of the RNDC is stored. In addition, when the game ball wins the ordinary electric auditors product during the change of the special symbol, or during the "big hit state", up to four special symbol starting memories for the next time onward are stored.

After the values of the LUCRND, RNDA, RNDB, and RNDC counters at the moment when the game ball wins the ordinary electric accessory 4, the value of LUCRND is first taken out, and the jackpot determination is performed. LUCRND
If the value of "4" is determined to be a "big hit",
If it is other than "4", it is determined to be "off."

If "big hit" is determined, the "big hit symbol (see FIG. 4)" corresponding to the value of LUCZGR at the moment of determination is a special symbol display portion as a stop symbol (display symbol) for that time. Is displayed in. In the normal state, the special symbol is stopped and displayed after continuously changing for 8 seconds or more. And "big hit state" that is advantageous for the player
Occurs.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the "off", RNDA, RND stored after performing the symbol variation
B, the symbol corresponding to the value of RNDC (see FIG. 5) is displayed on the special symbol display unit 3 as a stop symbol (display symbol) for that time. However, stored RNDA, RNDB,
If the value of RNDC is equivalent to the "big hit symbol", subtract 1 from the value stored only in RNDC,
The symbol corresponding to the value is displayed (hence, for example, when it is determined that “out”),
When stored as RNDA = 1, RNDB = 1, RNDC = 1, "2, 2, A""outsidesymbol" is displayed on the special symbol display portion 3 as the left symbol, the right symbol, and the middle symbol. ).

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

When the "big hit state" occurs, the special winning opening 7 is opened for 25 seconds or until the winning of 9 gaming balls is detected. As shown in FIG. 6, a placing portion 13 is provided inside the special winning opening 7 so that one game ball can be placed while the special winning opening 7 is opened. When a game ball is placed on the placing portion 13 while the special winning opening 7 is opened, the game ball placed when the special winning opening 7 is closed flows down to the rear of the special winning opening 7. Then, it passes through a specific area (not shown), and after the special winning opening 7 is closed, it is opened again about 2 seconds later (that is, when the special winning opening 7 is opened, a game ball is loaded). When placed on the placing portion 13, the special winning opening 7 intermittently repeats the opening operation). In addition, in one "big hit state", the maximum winning opening 7 is up to 16
Open intermittently up to times.

Further, "special symbol" is displayed on the special symbol display portion 3.
When is displayed and a "big hit" occurs, a "high probability state" occurs. In addition, the outline of the operation content in the "high probability state" of the pachinko machine of the first embodiment is shown in FIG.

In the "high probability state", "big hit"
The occurrence probability increases to 10/235, the "small hit" occurrence probability of the ordinary symbol increases to 234/235, and the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory 4 is extended to 2.3 seconds. The ordinary electric accessory 4 is closed when one game ball is won as in the normal state.

Further, in the "high probability state", when the game ball passes through the left gate 5 or the right gate 6, a timer of 5.1 seconds is set, and after the passage of the gate, 5.
Usually, the design fluctuates until 1 second passes. It should be noted that the game spheres pass through the gate continuously, and the same is true even when the ordinary symbol is still changing at the time of passing the gate, and the variation of the ordinary symbol ends after 5.1 seconds have passed from the passage of the game sphere. To do. Therefore, the variation time of the normal symbol is "5.1 seconds and the time difference from the passage of the gate to the start of the symbol variation". However, when this time is 3.8 seconds or less, the variation time of the normal symbol is extended to 3.8 seconds. Therefore, for example, when the game ball passes through the gate while the normal symbol is stopped and displayed, the fluctuation time is 5.1 seconds, but when the game ball passes through the gate while the normal symbol changes. When the symbol fluctuation starts again 1 second after passing through the gate, the fluctuation time is 4.1 seconds. In addition, when the game ball passes through the gate during the change of the normal symbol, if the symbol change is started again 2 seconds after the passage of the gate, the change time is 3.8 seconds instead of 3.1 seconds. Is. That is, the longest fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol in the "high probability state" is 5.1 seconds, and the shortest fluctuation time is 3.8 seconds.

The pachinko machine 1 is designed so that many game balls frequently pass through the left and right gates, and in most cases, the variation time of the normal symbol is 3.8 seconds, which is the shortest variation time. Is configured to be. Further, as described above, the "small hit" occurrence probability of the ordinary symbol is almost "1", so that the "small hit" occurs every time the ordinary symbol is stopped and displayed. Furthermore, the ordinary electric accessory 4 is opened by the "small hit" of the ordinary symbol, but in the pachinko machine 1, the game ball is awarded to the opened ordinary electric accessory 4 about every 0.5 seconds. Is designed (the time from the occurrence of the "small hit" until the game ball is won in the opened ordinary electric accessory 4 is such that the normal symbol does not change). Therefore, in the “high probability state”, about 4.3 seconds (3.8 seconds + 0.5)
Every second), the game ball wins the ordinary electric accessory 4.

Further, in the "high probability state", not only the variation time of the normal symbol, but also the variation time of the special symbol is shortened. In the normal state, the special symbol is stopped and displayed after fluctuating for 8 seconds or more, but in the "high probability state", like the ordinary symbol, 5.1 seconds when the game ball wins the ordinary electric auditors product 4. The timer of is set, and the special symbol changes until 5.1 seconds have passed since the winning. In addition, in the case where the game balls continuously win the ordinary electric accessory, the same applies when the special symbols are still changing at the time when the game balls win, and 5.1 seconds after the winning. The fluctuation of the special symbol due to the winning of the game ball ends. Therefore, the variation time of the special symbol is "the difference between 5.1 seconds and the time from the winning of the game ball until the symbol variation starts". However,
If this time is 3.8 seconds or less, the variation time of the special symbol is extended to 3.8 seconds.

Further, in the "high probability state", similar to the normal state, the game balls are shot at a pace of about 100 per minute, and the game balls are closed at a pace of about 6 per minute. In addition to this, it wins the ordinary electric accessory 4, but in addition to this, the ordinary electric accessory 4 in which the game ball is opened approximately every 4.3 seconds as described above.
To win the prize. Therefore, about 13.95 per minute.
The game balls are won in the ordinary electric auditors products 4 that have been opened one by one, and about 69.75 gaming balls (5 (the number of game balls to be paid out by winning one prize in the ordinary electric auditors product 4) by the prize) × 1
3.95 times (the number of winnings for the ordinary electric accessory 4 per minute) is paid out. Therefore, in the "high probability state", the game ball is only about 0.25 per minute.
Pieces (100 pieces (the number of game balls that have been fired) -30 pieces (the number of game balls that have been paid out by winning the ordinary electric accessory 4 being closed) -69.75 pieces (ordinary electric object 4 being opened) Only the number of game balls paid out by winning a prize)) decreases.

As described above, the pachinko machine 1 of the first embodiment is
In the "high probability state", the number of game balls hardly changes. Therefore, in the "high probability state", the player can continue playing the game with peace of mind even if the next "big hit" does not occur easily, and the exit control of the pachinko hall is very important. Easy to.

[Embodiment 2] The construction of the pachinko machine of Embodiment 2 is substantially the same as that of the pachinko machine 1 of Embodiment 1,
The shape, structure, installation location, etc. of the ordinary electric accessory provided in the game area are different from those of the pachinko machine 1 of the first embodiment. FIG. 8 shows a pachinko machine according to the second embodiment. The ordinary electric accessory 15 of the pachinko machine 1a is not a tulip shape, but has a shape in which a door 16 is opened forward.
It is provided not under the special symbol display portion 3 but under the special winning opening 7. In addition, the pachinko machine 1a of the second embodiment,
At the bottom of the special symbol display portion 3 is provided with a symbol start winning opening 18, and when a game ball is won at the symbol starting winning opening 18, five prize balls are paid out and the special symbol is changed. It is like this.

FIG. 9 shows the ordinary electric accessory 15, which allows only one gaming ball to be placed in the placing area 17 inside the door 16 during opening. It has become. And, 1.8 seconds after opening, the door 1
When 6 is closed and the game ball placed on the placement area 17 flows down to the rear of the machine base and passes through a specific area (not shown), the winning of the game ball to the ordinary electric accessory 15 is recognized. Is configured.

Further, the pachinko machine 1a of the second embodiment is slightly different from the pachinko machine 1 of the first embodiment in the operation content in the "high probability state", and the variation time of the normal symbol is "5.1.
It is the difference between seconds and the time from the passage of the gate to the start of the symbol fluctuation ", but the shortest fluctuation time of the normal symbol is set to 2.0 seconds instead of 3.8 seconds. In addition, the outline of the operation content in the "high probability state" of the pachinko machine 1a of Example 2 is shown in FIG.

The configuration of the other parts is the same as that of the pachinko machine of the first embodiment, and many game balls are designed to frequently pass through the left and right gates, and in most cases, a normal pattern. The variation time of is the shortest variation time of 2.0 seconds. Further, the probability of the "small hit" of the ordinary symbol is almost "1" as in the pachinko machine 1 of the first embodiment, so that the "small hit" of the ordinary symbol occurs every time the ordinary symbol is stopped and displayed. To do. Further, when the ordinary electric accessory 15 is opened by the "small hit" of the ordinary pattern, the game ball is awarded to the opened ordinary electric accessory about every 0.5 seconds. In the pachinko machine 1a according to the second embodiment, as described above, the winning is not recognized during the 1.8 seconds in which the ordinary electric accessory 15 is opened. Further, similarly to the pachinko machine 1 of the first embodiment, the time from the occurrence of the "small hit" until the game ball wins the opened ordinary electric accessory 15 is configured so that the ordinary symbol does not change. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1a of the second embodiment is in the “high probability state”.
About 4.3 seconds (2.0 seconds (shortest fluctuation time) +
A gaming ball wins the ordinary electric auditors product 15 every 0.5 seconds (time until the ordinary electric auditors object 15 is opened) + 1.8 seconds (time when the ordinary electric auditors product 15 is opened) (Recognize winning).

On the other hand, in the "high probability state", the pachinko machine 1a of the second embodiment shoots about 100 game balls per minute in the same manner as the normal state of the pachinko machine 1 of the first embodiment. Then, the game balls enter the symbol start winning opening 18 at a pace of about 6 pieces per minute. Further, as in the case of the pachinko machine 1 of the first embodiment, a prize is given to the ordinary electric accessory 15 in which the game ball is opened about every 4.3 seconds, so about 13.
Gaming balls are won in the ordinary electric accessory 15 that has been opened 95 times each, and about 69.75 gaming balls (5 x
13.95) will be paid out. Therefore, Example 2
In the pachinko machine 1a, during the "high probability state", the number of game balls is only about 0.25 per minute (100 (the number of game balls shot) -30 (to the symbol start winning opening 18). The number of game balls paid out by winning the prize) -69.75 (the number of game balls paid out by winning the ordinary electric accessory 15 being opened)).

When the shape of the ordinary electric auditors is tulip-shaped, it takes a little time until the game balls are closed after winning the prize. The ball may win the prize, but in the pachinko machine 1a of the second embodiment, a plurality of game balls do not continuously win when the normal electric accessory 15 is opened, and the normal electric accessory 15-1 Since the number of winnings in each opening is always limited to one, the variation in the number of game balls in the "high probability state" becomes smaller.

[Third Embodiment] The configuration of the pachinko machine of the third embodiment is substantially the same as that of the pachinko machine 1a of the second embodiment, but the operation content in the "high probability state" is the pachinko machine of the second embodiment. It is slightly different from 1a. The appearance of the pachinko machine of Example 3 is the same as that of the pachinko machine 1a of Example 2. Further, FIG. 11 shows an outline of the operation contents in the “high probability state” of the pachinko machine 1a of the third embodiment.

In the "high probability state" of the pachinko machine 1a of the third embodiment, as in the pachinko machine 1a of the second embodiment,
Despite the fact that the variation time of the normal symbol is set to "5.1 seconds and the time difference between the winning of the game ball and the start of the symbol variation", the ordinary electric accessory 15 or the symbol starting prize hole Every time a total of 20 game balls are won in 18, the variation time of the normal symbol is adjusted as follows. That is, in the "high probability state" of the pachinko machine 1a of the third embodiment, the timer of 60 seconds is set when the first game ball wins the ordinary electric accessory 15 or the symbol starting winning opening 18. 1
Fluctuation of the normal symbol immediately after there is the 19th prize counting from the first prize (including the case where it has already fluctuated)
Will continue until 60 seconds have passed since the first prize. Therefore, for example, from the first winning a prize to the ordinary electric accessory 15 or the symbol start winning a prize port 1
Time until the start of fluctuation of the ordinary symbol immediately after winning the 9th prize is 4
If it is 5 seconds, the variation time of the ordinary symbol immediately after winning the 19th prize is 15 seconds. In addition, when there is a 21st prize in the ordinary electric accessory 15 or the symbol start winning opening 18,
Again, the 60 second timer is set. Then, in the pachinko machine 1a of the third embodiment, every time a total of 20 game balls are won into the ordinary electric accessory 15 or the symbol starting winning opening 18, the adjustment of the variation time of the ordinary symbol is repeated.

In the "high-probability state", the pachinko machine 1a of the third embodiment configured as described above has a game of 100 pieces per minute in the same manner as in the normal state of the pachinko machine 1 of the first embodiment. While firing the ball, as described above, the variation time of the ordinary symbol is adjusted so that the total winning of the game balls to the ordinary electric accessory 15 or the symbol starting winning port 18 in one minute becomes extremely close to 20. Done.
Therefore, about 20 game balls enter the normal electric accessory 15 or the symbol starting winning opening 18 per minute, and about 100 game balls are paid out by the winning, so in the "high probability state", the game The number of spheres hardly changes.

Incidentally, in the pachinko machine 1a of the third embodiment, the adjustment of the variation time of the ordinary symbol is such that the "first item" is given every time 20 gaming balls are won into the ordinary electric accessory 15 or the symbol starting winning opening 18. Set a timer of 60 seconds at the time of winning and set 1
The variation of the normal symbol immediately after the 19th prize is opened, counting from the first prize, is continued until 60 seconds have elapsed from the first prize. ”, But the variation time of this normal symbol is adjusted. , "Electric power accessory 15 is opened and closed every 14 times," a 60-second timer is set at the time of the first opening of ordinary electric accessory 15, and the 13th opening and closing is counted from the first opening. The change of the normal symbol immediately after the formation is continued until 60 seconds have passed since the first opening ”may be changed. Even in the case of such a configuration, in the "high probability state", the number of game balls close to six is won in the symbol starting winning opening 18 per minute, and the opened ordinary electric auditors product 15 Since the number of game balls that is extremely close to 14 is won, the total number of wins is very close to 20, and the variation in the number of game balls can be suppressed to a small level. Although it is possible that the game balls do not win when the normal electric accessory 15 opens and closes, even if such a situation occurs, the total winnings will be extremely 20.
In order to make it closer to the individual, the adjustment of the variation time of the ordinary symbol is performed by setting a 60-second timer at the time of winning the first game ball to the ordinary electric accessory 15 from the first winning. It is also possible to change the variation of the ordinary symbol immediately after winning the 13th prize to continue until 60 seconds have elapsed from the first prize ”.

In each of the above embodiments, the present invention is applied to the first
Although an example applied to a pachinko machine of a kind has been described, the pachinko machine of the present invention can be applied to other types of pachinko machines.

Operation content in, "high probability state" operation content ("big hit" occurrence probability, "hit" occurrence probability of ordinary symbols, variation time of ordinary symbols / special symbols, opening time of ordinary electric auditors, etc.) Modifications can be made as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the invention.

For example, in the "high-probability state" of the pachinko machine of the first embodiment, adjustment is made so that a winning hole other than an ordinary electric auditors prize is won, and the shortest fluctuation time is set to be longer than 3.8 seconds. In addition, in the "high probability state" of the pachinko machine of the third embodiment, it is adjusted so as to win a winning opening other than the ordinary electric winning object, and 20 game balls are won in the ordinary electric winning object. The adjustment of the fluctuation time of the normal symbol that is performed every time, in a shorter cycle (ie, 20
It is also possible to configure such that a smaller number of game balls than the normal game balls are played each time). Even with this setting, it is possible to suppress the fluctuation of the game ball in the "high probability state" to be small, as in the above-described embodiments.

Further, in connection with the PL method (Product Liability Law), if there is no change in the special symbol for a certain period of time or more, the special symbol display section indicates "Continuous play for 1 hour or more may make eyesight worse. It is also possible to display a message such as "There is." As a result, the player can check the message during the game, which can contribute to the prevention of the situation in which the player's eyes are deteriorated due to continuous play. Note that it is possible to attach a label or the like having similar contents to an arbitrary position of the game machine.

Further, by attaching a lens to the front of the special symbol display portion or the ordinary symbol display portion and projecting the symbol of each display portion on the lens by an image guide, or the like,
It is also possible to display the symbols on each display unit in a manner that looks like the symbols pop out.
