BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention shifts to a special game when a preset transition condition is satisfied, performs a jackpot operation advantageous to the player, and further, when a preset continuation condition is satisfied during the jackpot operation, The present invention relates to a pachinko machine that repeatedly performs a jackpot operation.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Some pachinko machines are designed to shift to a special game when a preset transition condition is satisfied, for example, by opening a variable prize-winning device for a predetermined period of time so that a large profit can be brought to the player. is there.
[0003]
As this type of prior art, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-233860 describes a pachinko machine in which a variable prize device, a starting port and a specific gate are provided on a game board. The variable winning device is provided with a pair of opening and closing blades, and a specific winning port and a general winning port are provided in a winning area opened and closed by these opening and closing blades, and is arranged at substantially the center of the game board. The starting port is an electric accessory that can be converted into an open state in which a game ball can be easily received by a pair of opening and closing wings and a closed state in which it is difficult to receive a game ball. The common map display variably displays numbers 0-9. The specific gate allows a game ball to pass and serves as an opportunity to variably display the general-purpose display.
[0004]
In this pachinko machine, in the normal state, the opening / closing blades of the above-described variable prize device and the opening / closing blades of the starting port are both kept closed. From this state, when the game ball passes through the specific gate, the general-purpose display device starts variable display, and stops and displays one of 0 to 9 after a predetermined time has elapsed. When the stop symbol of this general-purpose display is a hitting symbol set in advance, the opening / closing wings of the start port are converted into the open state for a short time, and the game ball is easily received. During this time, when a game ball enters the starting port, the open / close blades of the variable prize-winning device are converted into an open state for a short time. Further, when the open / close blades of the variable prize device are in the open state, if a game ball enters the specific prize opening in the prize area, the game moves to a special game, and the open / close blades of the variable prize device continuously open and close. Perform a jackpot action, such as repeating.
[0005]
During the jackpot operation, the open / close blades that are closed in the normal state are continuously opened and closed, so that the game ball can easily enter the winning area of the variable winning device. Moreover, if the game ball enters the specific winning opening during the jackpot operation, the jackpot operation is repeated again. As a result, in special games, the number of balls entered into the variable prize winning device becomes large in a short time, and a very large profit can be given to the player.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in the pachinko machine described above, a lottery is performed when shifting to a special game, and the hit probability of the normal display after the special game ends is changed according to the lottery result. That is, a variable display is provided in the variable winning device, and when the symbol that the variable indicator stops and displays is a preset winning symbol, the hit probability of the universal symbol display is increased.
[0007]
According to such a pachinko machine, when the result of the lottery is a winning symbol, the next special game is likely to occur, so that the player can be expected to have a continuous special game.
[0008]
However, the special game executed after the lottery is a monotonous game in which the game ball is simply entered into the variable winning device and the jackpot operation is repeated, and there is no increase in interest.
[0009]
Moreover, since the winning symbol of the variable display provided in the variable winning device is a predetermined constant and is not changed in the middle, a special game in which the stop symbol displayed by the variable display is continuous. It leads to reporting the possibility to. Therefore, if the display of the variable display is off and the symbol is displayed, the special game of this time must be performed in a state in which it is informed that the possibility of consecutive special games is low. As a result, the concentration on the special game tends to be interrupted, and there is a possibility that the interest in the pachinko game itself may be diminished.
[0010]
In view of the above circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide a pachinko machine that can increase the interest of a player in special games and increase the expectation of continuous special games.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In the present invention, a player who opens and closes a variable winning device by shifting to a special game in which the variable winning device is opened and closed a predetermined number of times when a preset transition condition is satisfied triggered by detection of a game ball entering by the starting means A pachinko machine that repeatedly performs the jackpot operation for opening and closing the variable winning device when a preset continuation condition is satisfied during the jackpot operation for opening and closing the variable winning device. In The continuation condition is set such that a game ball that has entered a winning area of the variable winning device provided with a general winning opening and the specific winning opening enters the specific winning opening, Special games For each entry to the specific prize opening at Number of repeated jackpot actions n is incremented and the number of executions n Depending on the next game Said The starting rate is changed so as to increase the entrance rate.
[0012]
In this case, starting with a pair of movable wing pieces that can be switched between a low entry rate state in which a game ball cannot enter or a very difficult entry, and a high entry rate state in which a game ball can enter easily. When the transition condition is satisfied when the entry of the game ball is detected by the means, the variable winning device shifts to a special game that opens and closes a predetermined number of times, and according to a predetermined start and release pattern consisting of an opening time and the number of times of opening. Configure to change the entrance rate of the starting means, Said Special games For each entry to the specific prize opening at Number of repeated jackpot actions n is incremented and the number of executions n Depending on the next game Said It is preferable to change the starting and opening pattern of the starting means to be advantageous to the player.
[0013]
Further, according to the present invention, when a first change condition set in advance is satisfied, the first entrance change rate of the starter having the pair of movable blade pieces is changed according to a predetermined start / open pattern including the open time and the number of open times. When the second change condition set in advance by the entrance detection by the starting means is satisfied, the entrance rate of the variable winning device having the opening and closing blades is determined as the opening time and the number of times of opening. In the meantime, when a game ball enters the specific area of the variable winning device, the game moves to a special game that opens and closes the variable winning device a predetermined number of times, and enters the variable winning device. And a second entrance rate changing means for changing the rate according to a predetermined jackpot opening pattern consisting of an opening time and opening / closing times advantageous to the player, and the variable entry according to the jackpot opening pattern. In pachinko machine game balls during jackpot operation is so repeated that the jackpot operation when ball entrance to the specific area for opening and closing the device, Said Special games For each ball entering the specific area Number of repeated jackpot actions n is incremented and the number of executions n Accordingly, the start opening pattern of the pair of movable wing pieces of the starting means and / or the winning / opening pattern of the open / close blades of the variable winning device in the next game are changed to be advantageous to the player. .
[0014]

Is provided with a start winning means 210, and further, a second display means 220 is provided below the start winning means 210.
[0019]
The operation gate 200 is a gate with a fixed entrance rate. The operation gate 200 is provided with a gate winning detection switch 201, which can detect when a game ball enters. The operation gate 200 does not necessarily need to be a ball-type gate, but is a pass-type gate, that is, returns the game ball 4 as it is to the game area 4 without taking it into the back side of the game board 2. You may apply things.
[0020]
The start winning means 210 is a start means that switches between a low entrance rate state in which a game ball cannot enter or an extremely difficult entry, and a high entrance rate state in which an enter of a game ball is extremely easy. In the present embodiment, a horizontally long winning opening 211 provided in the game board 2, an opening / closing plate 212 provided so as to open / close the winning opening 211, and an opening / closing plate driving solenoid 213 for driving the opening / closing plate 212. The start winning means 210 is configured as described above. That is, in this start winning means 210, when the opening / closing plate drive solenoid 213 is OFF, the opening / closing plate 212 stands upright and closes the winning opening 211 as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. Thus, it becomes a low entrance rate state in which it is difficult to enter game balls. On the other hand, when the opening / closing plate drive solenoid 213 is turned on, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 2B, the opening / closing plate 212 rotates forward through the lower end portion thereof to open the winning opening 211, It becomes a high entrance rate state in which game balls are easy to enter.

It may be configured.
[0021]
The second display means 220 is a part for displaying the number of times the opening / closing plate 212 of the start winning means 210 is opened. As the second display means 220, it is only necessary to be able to variably display a plurality of symbols such as numbers as in the case of the first display means 120 described above, and like the first display means 120, for example, a liquid crystal display, A dot matrix display or the like can be used.
[0022]
In addition, the code | symbol 30 in a figure is a normal winning opening provided in the multiple places of the game board 2, and the code | symbol 40 is a windmill. Reference numeral 50 denotes an out-port for collecting game balls that have not entered any of the above-described normal winning port 30, the variable winning device 100, the operation gate 200, and the starting winning means 210.
[0023]
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an outline of the control device 300 of the pachinko machine 1 described above. The CPU 301 of the control device 300 monitors output signals from the V winning detection switch 108, the gate winning detection switch 201, the start winning detection switch 214, and the winning ball confirmation switch 400 provided in the winning ball processing device. Based on the output signals from these switches and the programs and data stored in the ROM 302 and RAM 303, the blade drive solenoid 105, the opening / closing plate drive solenoid 213, the first display means 120, the second display means 220, etc. While performing drive control, drive control of the indicator lamp 403 and the speaker 404 which were provided in the game board 2 through the indicator lamp control part 401 and the sound effect control part 402 is performed. Further, the output signal from the winning winning detection switch 110 or the winning ball detection switch 405 provided in the winning ball processing device is monitored, and the winning ball processing solenoid 406 is based on the output signal given from the winning ball detection switch 405. In addition, the driving control of the ball throwing device 407 and the like is performed, the output signal from the handle touch sensor 408 is monitored, and the driving control of the hit ball launching device 409 is also performed.
[0024]
In the pachinko machine 1 configured as described above, a game ball launched by the operation of an operation handle (not shown) is guided above the game area 4 of the game board 2 by the guide rail 3 and appropriately used by the obstacle nail or the windmill 40. The game area 4 will flow down sequentially while changing direction.
[0025]
During this time, the control device 300 repeatedly performs the processing from the start to the end according to the flowchart shown in FIG. Hereinafter, the processing of the control device 300 during the game will be described with reference to FIG. In the following description, for the sake of convenience, it is assumed that both the variable winning device 100 and the start winning means 210 are in the low winning rate state in the initial state. Moreover, since the process regarding the normal winning opening 30 is the same as that of the conventional pachinko machine 1, it is omitted below.
[0026]
During the game, the CPU 301 of the control device 300 first monitors the presence or absence of a ball entering the operating gate 200 through the gate winning detection switch 201 (step S1). If no incoming game ball is detected in step S1, the current process is terminated without going through the following procedure.
[0027]
On the other hand, when the game ball flowing down in the game area 4 enters the operation gate 200 and the gate winning detection switch 201 detects the entry of the game ball, the procedure proceeds to step S2, and the control signal from the CPU 301 is As a result, the opening / closing plate 212 of the start winning means 210 performs the opening / closing operation according to the preset opening / closing pattern. The start opening pattern implemented in this case is an initial start opening pattern stored in the ROM 302 in advance, and is set to open the opening / closing plate 212 once for 0.5 seconds, for example.
[0028]
During this time, the game ball that has entered the operating gate 200 is taken into the back side of the game board 2 and then a winning process is performed in the winning ball processing apparatus. That is, when a winning game ball is guided to the winning ball processing device, the winning ball detection switch 405 detects the gaming ball, and the detection result is given to the CPU 301. The CPU 301 to which the detection signal is given from the winning ball detection switch 405 determines the number of winning balls based on the detection signal from the gate winning detection switch 201, and pays the player the winning ball corresponding to the number of winning balls. The prize ball payout device 407 is driven to take out. When the payout of the winning ball is confirmed by the winning ball confirmation switch 400, the winning ball processing solenoid 406 is driven, and the game ball is discharged out of the machine. However, when the above-described passing type is applied as the operation gate 200, it is not necessary to perform this winning process.
[0029]
Further, the number of times the opening / closing plate 212 is actually opened is notified to the player through the second display means 220. As a notification method, “0” may be displayed first, and this may be sequentially added according to the number of times of opening, or the maximum number of times of opening / closing of the opening / closing plate 212 (“1” in this case). May be displayed and subtracted sequentially in accordance with the number of times of opening.
[0030]
Next, when the opening / closing plate 212 of the start winning means 210 is opened, the CPU 301 monitors the start winning means 210 through the start winning detection switch 214 for the presence or absence of a ball (step S3). If no incoming game ball is detected in step S3, the current process is terminated without going through the following procedure.
[0031]
On the other hand, when the game ball flowing down in the game area 4 enters the start winning means 210 and the start winning detection switch 214 detects the entry of the game ball, the procedure proceeds to step S4, and the control from the CPU 301 is performed. According to the signal, the opening / closing blade 104 of the variable prize-winning device 100 performs an opening / closing operation in accordance with a preset winning / opening pattern. The winning opening pattern implemented in this case is stored in the ROM 302 in advance, and is set so that, for example, the opening / closing blade 104 is opened only once for 0.8 seconds.
[0032]
During this time, the game ball that has entered the start winning means 210 is subjected to a winning process in the winning ball processing apparatus in the same manner as when it enters the operating gate 200, and a predetermined number of prize balls are given. Become.
[0033]
Next, when the opening / closing blade 104 of the variable winning device 100 is opened, the CPU 301 enters a game ball into the specific winning port 106 of the variable winning device 100 through the V winning detection switch 108 (hereinafter simply referred to as V winning). Is monitored (step S5). If no V winning is detected in step S5, that is, if a game ball has not entered the winning area 102 of the variable winning device 100 and a game ball that has entered the winning area 102 has entered the general winning opening 107. In this case, the current process is terminated without going through the following procedure. However, for the game balls that have entered the general winning opening 107 of the variable prize winning device 100, the winning ball processing device performs a winning process in the same manner as when the winning ball is entered into the operation gate 200, and a predetermined number of winning balls are received. Is given.
[0034]
On the other hand, when the V winning detection switch 108 detects V winning in step S5, the procedure proceeds to step S6, and after clearing the number n of repeated jackpot operations, a special game is started (step S7).
[0035]
During this time, the game balls that have entered the specific winning opening 106 of the variable winning device 100 are subjected to a winning process in the winning ball processing device in the same way as when they enter the operating gate 200, and a predetermined number of winning balls are received. Will be given.
[0036]
In this special game, first, the number n of repeated executions of the jackpot operation is incremented in step S8, and then the number n of repeated executions is displayed on the first display means 120 (step S9). Furthermore, the jackpot operation is performed in accordance with the jackpot opening pattern set in advance by the opening / closing blade 104 of the variable winning device 100 by the control signal from the CPU 301 (step S10). The jackpot opening pattern implemented in this case is stored in the ROM 302 in advance, for example, the number of times of opening / closing the opening / closing blade 104 is 18, and the variable winning detection switch 110 detects 10 game balls. The opening / closing blade 104 is set to open and close until one of the conditions is achieved.
[0037]
When the variable winning device 100 starts the jackpot operation, the CPU 301 again monitors the V winning through the V winning detection switch 108 (step S11).
[0038]
If the V winning is confirmed in step S11, the jackpot operation is terminated without waiting for the above-mentioned jackpot opening pattern end condition (step S12). Thereafter, in step S13, it is determined whether or not the number n of repeated executions of the jackpot operation has reached a maximum value, for example, 16 times. If the maximum value is not exceeded, the procedure is returned to step S8, and the number of executions of the jackpot operation is performed. After incrementing n, a new jackpot operation is performed. It should be noted that the maximum number n of repeated big hits need not be constant. For example, a lottery may be performed when a V prize is detected in step S5, and may be determined according to the lottery result. In this case, it is preferable to notify the player of the lottery result through the first display means 120 or the dedicated display means. However, when the lottery result is notified through the first display means 120, it is necessary to clear it immediately when the special game starts.
[0039]
On the other hand, if there is no V winning during the jackpot operation and the end condition is achieved in step S14, or if it is determined that the maximum value is reached in step S13 after the V winning, the special game is terminated (step S15).
[0040]
Here, during the special game described above, the ball entrance 103 of the variable winning device 100 that is closed in the normal state is opened according to the jackpot opening pattern. In addition, the jackpot operation is repeatedly performed under the condition of V winning. Accordingly, a large amount of game balls enter the variable winning device 100 in a short time, and a large profit can be given to the player.
[0041]
When the special game is finished, the CPU 301 reads the change table stored in the ROM 302 in advance, and based on the number n of repeated jackpot movements in the current special game, the start opening pattern of the corresponding start winning means 210 is read from the change table. This is selected and updated (step S16). As a result, in the next game, when a game ball enters the operation gate 200 in step S1, the start winning means 210 is released according to the updated start / release pattern.
[0042]
Here, the change table read out by the CPU 301 changes, for example, the number of times the opening / closing plate 212 is opened in the start winning means 210 in accordance with the number n of repeated jackpot operations as shown in FIGS. That is, in the pachinko machine 1, the game content in the special game greatly affects the number of times the opening / closing plate 212 is opened in the start winning means 210.
[0043]
As described above, entering a game ball into the start winning means 210 is an opportunity to shift to a special game. Accordingly, a change in the number of times the opening / closing plate 212 is opened leads to difficulty in shifting to the next special game. As a result, the player concentrates on the game toward the continuous special game even after the transition to the special game, and the interest is enhanced.
[0044]
In particular, as in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 5, if the number of times the start winning means 210 is released is increased according to the number n of repeated jackpot operations, the number of repeated jackpot operations in a special game As n increases, the player's expectation for consecutive jackpots also rises, further enhancing the interest of the game.
[0045]
Further, as in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the number of times the start winning means 210 is released is increased stepwise according to the number n of repeated jackpot operations, and there is a large difference between them. With this setting, it is possible to give the player a sense of accomplishment when the stage is cleared and advantageous conditions corresponding to the achievement, thereby further enhancing the interest of the game.
[0046]
Further, as in the third embodiment shown in FIG. 7, when the number n of repeated jackpot movements reaches the maximum value, on the contrary, when the special game is finished with one jackpot action, the start winning means 210 If it is set so that the number of times of opening is increased, the former can give a sense of reward to the player and can give satisfaction to the player, while the latter The player's interest can be maintained in the form of salvation.
[0047]
As described above, according to the pachinko machine 1, the difficulty of shifting to the next special game is determined according to the game content in the special game of the number n of repeated jackpot operations. After the transition, the player's interest in the game will increase rather than the normal game, and the expectation for consecutive special games will also rise every time the big hit action is repeatedly performed during that special game Become. In addition, for advanced gamers, there is room for technical intervention, such as limiting the number n of repeated jackpot operations for consecutive special games, and the interest of the game is significantly increased.
[0048]
Note that the change tables shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 are merely examples, and the start opening pattern of the start winning means 210 may be changed in other manners. In this case, it is not always necessary to increase the number of times the start winning means 210 is released in accordance with the increase in the number n of repeated jackpot operations. Moreover, not only the opening number of the start winning means 210 may be changed, but the opening time may be changed, or both the opening number and the opening time may be changed.
[0049]
Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, only the start opening pattern of the start winning means 210 is changed according to the number n of repeated large hitting operations, but instead of this, or in addition to this, the variable winning device 100 Even if the winning / opening pattern is changed, the same effect can be expected. In the case where only the winning opening pattern of the variable winning device 100 is changed according to the number n of repeated executions of the jackpot operation, it is not always necessary to apply the starting means that can change the winning rate. .
[0050]
In the above-described embodiment, after the game ball is detected by the start winning means 210, the winning rate of the variable winning device 100 is changed according to the winning release pattern, and during this time, the game ball is changed to the variable winning device 100. Although the pachinko machine 1 which is made to shift to the special game when entering the specific area 106 is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a special variable display device that can variably display a plurality of symbols is driven when a game ball is detected by the starting means, and the stop symbol displayed by the special variable display device becomes a preset hit symbol. Of course, the present invention can also be applied to a pachinko machine that is adapted to a special game.
[0051]
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the pachinko machine 1 having only the start winning means 210 as the starting means is illustrated, but a plurality of starting means may be provided. In this case, it is not always necessary to configure the plurality of starting means so that the entrance rate can be changed. It is sufficient that at least one starting means can change the entrance rate. In addition, if the conditions for shifting to special games are set to be different from each other, such as changing the winning opening pattern of the variable winning device for each starting means, for example, the interest of the game is further enhanced. .
[0052]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, since the content of the special game directly affects the difficulty of the transition to the next special game, the interest for the game is increased even after the transition to the special game, Moreover, it is possible to excite expectations for continuous special games.
