【０００３】

【０００７】
この発明によれば、入賞口の近くを通過するような軌道パターンを画面出力するので、プレーヤーを引きつける演出を提供することができる。
【０００８】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明に係るパチンコゲーム機の第１の実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。
【０００９】
図１は本実施形態のパチンコゲーム機の構成を示すブロック図である。図１に示すように、パチンコゲーム機１は、ゲーム機本体２と表示装置３とから構成されており、ゲーム機本体２は、パチンコゲームの制御を行う制御部４と、パチンコ玉の軌道演算を行う軌道演算部５と、軌道演算に必要な各テーブルを格納する記憶部６と、軌道演算に必要な乱数を発生させる乱数発生部７と、軌道演算部５の演算結果やデータを格納する蓄積部８と、表示装置３にパチンコゲームの演出を出力する演出出力部９とを含んでいる。
【００１０】
とくに、制御部４は、軌道演算部５で生成された軌道パターンのそれぞれに対して、入賞口から軌道パターンまでの距離が最も近くなる最短距離を算出する最短距離算出部４１と、複数の軌道パターンの中から、最短距離が最も小さい軌道パターンを選択する軌道パターン選択部４２とを含んでいる。
【００１１】
また、軌道演算部５は、発射しようとしているパチンコ玉の前に発射されるパチンコ玉の画面出力が開始されると、発射しようとしているパチンコ玉の軌道演算を行って軌道パターンを複数生成する軌道パターン生成部５１を含んでいる。
【００１２】
ここで、ゲーム機本体２は、パチンコゲーム機専用の装置でもよいが、通常のパソコンや家庭用のゲーム機にＣＤ−ＲＯＭなどによってゲームソフトを読み込ませてパチンコゲーム機とするものでもよい。
【００１３】
次に、本実施形態のパチンコゲーム機１による軌道選択処理を図２のフローチャートに基づいて説明する。この軌道選択処理は発射しようとしているｎ発目のパチンコ玉の軌道選択処理であり、ｎ−１発目のパチンコ玉の演出を表示装置３に出力している間に以下に示すｎ発目の軌道選択処理を行っている。
【００１４】
まず、ｎ−１発目のパチンコ玉の演出の出力が開始されると（Ｓ２０１）、制御部４は乱数発生部７で発生させた乱数に基づいて安定度パラメータを決定し、この安定度パラメータに基づいてｎ発目のパチンコ玉の発射速度を決定する（Ｓ２０２）。
【００１５】
そして、この発射速度から軌道演算部５が軌道パターン１を算出し（Ｓ２０３）、この軌道パターン１と入賞口との距離が最短になる最短距離を算出する（Ｓ２０４）。
【００１６】
例えば、図３に示すような軌道パターン１が演算されたときには、この軌道パターン１と入賞口３１との距離が最短となる最短距離Ｄ１を算出する。
【００１７】
そして、制御部４は軌道パターンが３パターン準備されたか否かを判断し（Ｓ２０５）、３パターン準備されていないときにはステップＳ２０２に戻ってステップＳ２０４までの処理を３パターン準備できるまで繰り返し行う。ただし、ここでは一例として３パターン準備する場合について説明するが、２パターンだけ準備してもよいし、またｎ−１発目のパチンコ玉の演出を出力している間に計算できる数であれば、もっと多くのパターンを準備してもよい。
【００１８】
そして、３パターン準備できると、３パターンの中で入賞口までの最短距離が最も小さくなる軌道パターンを選択する（Ｓ２０６）。
【００１９】
例えば、図３に示すような軌道パターン１〜３が演算されたときには、各軌道パターンから入賞口３１までの最短距離Ｄ１、Ｄ２、Ｄ３の中で最も小さくなるのはＤ２なので、軌道パターン２を選択する。
【００２０】
ただし、ここでは最短距離が最も小さい軌道パターンを選択する場合について説明したが、最も小さい軌道パターンだけでなく、軌道パターンの生成数が非常に多い場合などには２番目、あるいは３番目に最短距離が小さい軌道パターンを選択するようにしてもよい。
【００２１】
そして、演出出力部９はｎ発目の軌道として軌道パターン２を表示装置３に演出出力して（Ｓ２０７）本実施形態における軌道選択処理は終了する。
【００２２】
このように、本実施形態のパチンコゲーム機１は、複数の軌道パターンを算出し、その中で入賞口までの最短距離が最も小さくなるような軌道パターンを画面出力するので、プレーヤーは惜しいと思ってゲームに引きつけられ、これによってプレーヤーを飽きさせることのない、引きつける演出を提供することができる。
【００２３】
次に、本発明に係るパチンコゲーム機の第２の実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。上述した第１の実施形態では軌道パターンと入賞口との最短距離によって軌道パターンを選択していたが、この第２の実施形態では、入賞口のある高さにおいて軌道パターンがどの位置を通過するかによって軌道パターンを選択する。また、第２の実施形態では図１と同様の構成となるので、構成に関する詳しい説明は省略する。
【００２４】
本実施形態のパチンコゲーム機１における軌道選択処理を図４のフローチャートに基づいて説明する。
【００２５】
まず、ｎ−１発目のパチンコ玉の演出の出力が開始されると（Ｓ４０１）、制御部４は乱数発生部７で発生した乱数に基づいて安定度パラメータを決定し、この安定度パラメータに基づいてｎ発目のパチンコ玉の発射速度を決定する（Ｓ４０２）。
【００２６】
そして、この発射速度から軌道演算部５が軌道パターン１を算出し（Ｓ４０３）、この軌道パターン１が入賞口の高さにおいて横方向にどの位置を通過するかのデータを取得する（Ｓ４０４）。
【００２７】
例えば、図５に示すように入賞口のある高さをｙ＝０としてｘ軸とｙ軸とを設定し、軌道パターン１がｙ＝０となったときのｘの値を取得する。図５ではｘ＝０〜１０、２５〜３０、５０〜５５、７０〜８０のときは入賞口から遠いと判定され、ｘ＝１０〜１５、２０〜２５、３０〜３５、４５〜５０、５５〜６０、６５〜７０のときは入賞口に近いと判定され、ｘ＝１５〜２０、３５〜４５、６０〜６５のときは入賞と判定される。
【００２８】
そして、制御部４は軌道パターンが３パターン準備されたか否かを判断し（Ｓ４０５）、３パターン準備されていないときにはステップＳ４０２に戻ってステップＳ４０４までの処理を３パターン準備できるまで繰り返し行う。
【００２９】
そして、３パターン準備できると、３つの軌道パターンの中で入賞口の高さ（ｙ＝０）でのｘ軸の値から入賞口に最も近いと判定した軌道パターンを選択する（Ｓ４０６）。
【００３０】
例えば、図５に示すような軌道パターン１〜３が演算されたときには、軌道パターン１は遠いと判定され、軌道パターン２は入賞と判定され、軌道パターン３は近いと判定されるので、軌道パターン３が選択される。
【００３１】
そして、演出出力部９はｎ発目の軌道として軌道パターン３を表示装置３に演出出力して（Ｓ４０７）本実施形態における軌道選択処理を終了する。
【００３２】
このように、本実施形態のパチンコゲーム機は、複数の軌道パターンを算出し、その中で入賞口の高さにおける軌道パターンの通過位置が入賞口に最も近い軌道パターンを画面出力するので、プレーヤーは惜しいと思ってゲームに引きつけられ、これによってプレーヤーを飽きさせることのない、引きつける演出を提供することができる。
【００３３】
次に、本発明に係るパチンコゲーム機の第３の実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。この第３の実施形態では、入賞口の近くを通過する演出を予め設定した確率に基づいて適度に演出出力するようにしたものである。また、第３の実施形態では図１と同様の構成となるので、ゲーム機の構成に関する詳しい説明は省略する。
【００３４】
本実施形態のパチンコゲーム機における軌道選択処理を図６のフローチャートに基づいて説明する。
【００３５】
まず、ｎ−１発目のパチンコ玉の演出の出力が開始されると（Ｓ６０１）、制御部４は乱数発生部７で発生した乱数に基づいて安定度パラメータを決定し、この安定度パラメータに基づいてｎ発目のパチンコ玉の発射速度を決定する（Ｓ６０２）。
【００３６】
そして、この発射速度から軌道演算部５が軌道パターン１を算出する（Ｓ６０３）。
【００３７】
ここで、制御部４は入賞口に近い軌道パターンを演出する必要があるか否かを判断する（Ｓ６０４）。ここで、制御部４は記憶部６に格納されている確率テーブルや乱数発生部７で発生された乱数によって入賞口に近い演出をするか否かを判断している。これによって、入賞口の近くを通過する演出を適度に演出出力することができる。
【００３８】
そして、入賞口に近い演出をする必要がないと判断されたときには、すでに計算されている軌道パターン１を演出出力して（Ｓ６０５）本実施形態における軌道選択処理は終了する。
【００３９】
また、ステップＳ６０４において、入賞口の近くを通過する演出が必要であると判断されたときには、軌道パターン１と入賞口との距離が最短になるときの距離を算出する（Ｓ６０６）。このとき、第２の実施形態で示した軌道パターン１が入賞口の高さにおいてどの位置を通過するかのデータを取得するようにしてもよい。
【００４０】
そして、制御部４は軌道パターンが３パターン準備されたか否かを判断し（Ｓ６０７）、３パターン準備されていないときにはステップＳ６０２に戻ってステップＳ６０６までの処理を３パターン準備できるまで繰り返し行う。
【００４１】
そして、３パターン準備できると、３パターンの中で入賞口に最も近くを通過すると判定された軌道パターンを選択し（Ｓ６０８）、演出出力部９はｎ発目の軌道として選択された軌道パターンを表示装置３に演出出力して（Ｓ６０９）本実施形態における軌道選択処理は終了する。
【００４２】
このように、本実施形態のパチンコゲーム機は、入賞口の近くを通過する演出を適度に演出出力することができる。
【００４３】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明のパチンコゲーム機によれば、複数の軌道パターンの中から入賞口の最も近くを通過するような軌道パターンを画面出力するので、プレーヤーを飽きさせることなく、引きつける演出を提供することができる。

[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of a pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0009]
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a pachinko game machine according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, a pachinko game machine 1 is composed of a game machine body 2 and a display device 3, and the game machine body 2 includes a control unit 4 that controls a pachinko game, and a pachinko ball trajectory calculation. The trajectory calculation unit 5, the storage unit 6 for storing each table necessary for the trajectory calculation, the random number generation unit 7 for generating random numbers required for the trajectory calculation, and the calculation results and data of the trajectory calculation unit 5 are stored. The storage unit 8 and the effect output unit 9 that outputs the effect of the pachinko game to the display device 3 are included.
[0010]
In particular, the control unit 4 includes, for each of the track patterns generated by the track calculation unit 5, a shortest distance calculation unit 41 that calculates the shortest distance at which the distance from the winning opening to the track pattern is the closest, and a plurality of tracks. And a trajectory pattern selection unit 42 for selecting a trajectory pattern having the shortest distance from the pattern.
[0011]
Further, when the screen output of the pachinko ball to be launched before the pachinko ball to be launched is started, the trajectory computation unit 5 performs a trajectory computation of the pachinko ball to be launched and generates a plurality of trajectory patterns. A pattern generation unit 51 is included.
[0012]
Here, the game machine main body 2 may be a device dedicated to a pachinko game machine, but may be a pachinko game machine by reading game software into a normal personal computer or home game machine using a CD-ROM or the like.
[0013]
Next, trajectory selection processing by the pachinko game machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. This trajectory selection process is a trajectory selection process of the n-th pachinko ball to be fired, and the following n-th pachinko ball effects are output to the display device 3 while an effect of the n-1th pachinko ball is being output to the display device 3. Orbit selection processing is performed.
[0014]
First, when the output of the production of the n-1th pachinko ball is started (S201), the control unit 4 determines a stability parameter based on the random number generated by the random number generation unit 7, and this stability parameter The firing speed of the nth pachinko ball is determined based on (S202).
[0015]
Then, the trajectory calculation unit 5 calculates the trajectory pattern 1 from the firing speed (S203), and calculates the shortest distance that makes the distance between the trajectory pattern 1 and the winning opening shortest (S204).
[0016]
For example, when the trajectory pattern 1 as shown in FIG. 3 is calculated, the shortest distance D1 at which the distance between the trajectory pattern 1 and the winning opening 31 is the shortest is calculated.
[0017]
Then, the control unit 4 determines whether or not three patterns of trajectory patterns are prepared (S205). When three patterns are not prepared, the control unit 4 returns to step S202 and repeats the processing up to step S204 until three patterns are prepared. However, here, the case where three patterns are prepared will be described as an example. However, only two patterns may be prepared, or any number that can be calculated while outputting the n-1th pachinko ball effect. More patterns may be prepared.
[0018]
When the three patterns are prepared, the trajectory pattern that minimizes the shortest distance to the winning opening is selected from the three patterns (S206).
[0019]
For example, when the trajectory patterns 1 to 3 as shown in FIG. 3 are calculated, since the shortest distances D1, D2, and D3 from the respective trajectory patterns to the winning award 31 are D2, the trajectory pattern 2 is select.
[0020]
However, here, the case where the trajectory pattern having the shortest distance is selected has been described. However, not only the smallest trajectory pattern but also the second or third shortest distance when the number of generated trajectory patterns is very large. A trajectory pattern with a small value may be selected.
[0021]
Then, the effect output unit 9 produces an output of the trajectory pattern 2 as the n-th trajectory to the display device 3 (S207), and the trajectory selection process in the present embodiment ends.
[0022]
As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment calculates a plurality of trajectory patterns, and outputs the trajectory pattern that minimizes the shortest distance to the winning opening. Therefore, it is possible to provide an attractive effect that does not get the player bored.
[0023]
Next, a second embodiment of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention will be described based on the drawings. In the first embodiment described above, the trajectory pattern is selected based on the shortest distance between the trajectory pattern and the winning opening, but in this second embodiment, the trajectory pattern passes through any position at a height where the winning opening is located. Select the trajectory pattern by In the second embodiment, the configuration is the same as that shown in FIG.
[0024]
The trajectory selection process in the pachinko game machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.
[0025]
First, when the output of the production of the n-1th pachinko ball is started (S401), the control unit 4 determines a stability parameter based on the random number generated by the random number generation unit 7, and the stability parameter is set to this stability parameter. Based on this, the firing speed of the nth pachinko ball is determined (S402).
[0026]
Then, the trajectory calculation unit 5 calculates the trajectory pattern 1 from this firing speed (S403), and acquires data indicating which position the trajectory pattern 1 passes in the horizontal direction at the height of the winning opening (S404).
[0027]
For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the x-axis and y-axis are set with y = 0 as the height of the winning opening, and the value of x when the trajectory pattern 1 becomes y = 0 is acquired. In FIG. 5, when x = 0 to 10, 25 to 30, 50 to 55, 70 to 80, it is determined that it is far from the winning opening, and x = 10 to 15, 20 to 25, 30 to 35, 45 to 50, 55. When it is ˜60, 65-70, it is determined that it is close to the winning opening, and when x = 15-20, 35-45, 60-65, it is determined that it is a prize.
[0028]
Then, the control unit 4 determines whether or not three patterns are prepared (S405). When three patterns are not prepared, the control unit 4 returns to step S402 and repeats the processing up to step S404 until three patterns are prepared.
[0029]
When the three patterns are prepared, the trajectory pattern determined to be closest to the winning opening is selected from the x-axis values at the winning opening height (y = 0) among the three trajectory patterns (S406).
[0030]
For example, when the trajectory patterns 1 to 3 as shown in FIG. 5 are calculated, the trajectory pattern 1 is determined to be far, the trajectory pattern 2 is determined to be a prize, and the trajectory pattern 3 is determined to be close. 3 is selected.
[0031]
Then, the effect output unit 9 produces an effect output of the trajectory pattern 3 to the display device 3 as the n-th trajectory (S407), and the trajectory selection process in the present embodiment ends.
[0032]
As described above, the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment calculates a plurality of trajectory patterns, and outputs the trajectory pattern on the screen where the trajectory pattern passing position at the height of the winning opening is the closest to the winning opening. Is attracted to the game because it is regrettable, and this can provide an attractive performance that does not bore the player.
[0033]
Next, a third embodiment of the pachinko game machine according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the third embodiment, an effect is appropriately output based on a preset probability of an effect that passes near the winning opening. In the third embodiment, the configuration is the same as that shown in FIG. 1, and a detailed description of the configuration of the game machine is omitted.
[0034]
The trajectory selection process in the pachinko game machine of this embodiment will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.
[0035]
First, when the output of the production of the n-1th pachinko ball is started (S601), the control unit 4 determines a stability parameter based on the random number generated by the random number generation unit 7, and the stability parameter is set to this stability parameter. Based on this, the firing speed of the nth pachinko ball is determined (S602).
[0036]
Then, the trajectory calculation unit 5 calculates the trajectory pattern 1 from the firing speed (S603).
[0037]
Here, the control unit 4 determines whether or not it is necessary to produce a track pattern close to the winning opening (S604). Here, the control unit 4 determines whether or not to produce an effect close to the winning opening based on the probability table stored in the storage unit 6 and the random number generated by the random number generation unit 7. As a result, it is possible to appropriately produce an effect that passes near the winning opening.
[0038]
When it is determined that there is no need to produce an effect close to the winning opening, the already calculated trajectory pattern 1 is output (S605), and the trajectory selection process in the present embodiment ends.
[0039]
If it is determined in step S604 that an effect of passing near the winning opening is necessary, the distance when the distance between the track pattern 1 and the winning opening is the shortest is calculated (S606). At this time, data on which position the trajectory pattern 1 shown in the second embodiment passes at the height of the winning opening may be acquired.
[0040]
Then, the control unit 4 determines whether or not three patterns of trajectory patterns are prepared (S607). When three patterns are not prepared, the control unit 4 returns to step S602 and repeats the processing up to step S606 until three patterns are prepared.
[0041]
When the three patterns are prepared, the trajectory pattern determined to pass the closest to the winning opening among the three patterns is selected (S608), and the effect output unit 9 selects the trajectory pattern selected as the nth trajectory. An effect is output to the display device 3 (S609), and the trajectory selection process in the present embodiment ends.
[0042]
As described above, the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment can appropriately produce an effect that passes near the winning opening.
[0043]
