[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine, an arrange ball machine, and a slot machine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In a ball game machine such as a pachinko machine such as a pachinko machine, one or more game symbols of the variable display means fluctuate for a predetermined time on condition that the symbol start means detects the game ball, and the game after the fluctuation When the symbol has a specific display mode such as “6, 6, 6”, “7, 7, 7”, etc., after the game symbol is stopped, an openable variable winning means such as an attacker is predetermined. The mainstream is that a profit state advantageous to the player is generated each time the specific display mode is set, such as opening up the number of times.
[0003]
In this type of ball game machine, when the changed game symbol is a specific display mode with a specific symbol such as an odd symbol, for example, “7, 7, 7”, the profit state based on the specific display mode After the completion of the game, a probability variation state occurs in which the probability that the game symbol stops in the specific display mode is higher than usual, so that the player can play the game in a very advantageous state.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the conventional gaming machine, when the game symbol becomes a specific display mode such as “7, 7, 7”, etc., a profit state is generated subsequently, so that, for example, a specific display is particularly performed, for example, during a probability change state. Even if a mode appears multiple times in a short period of time, a profit state occurs every time the specific display mode is reached, and a change in the game pattern always occurs between the profit states based on the multiple specific display modes For this reason, it has been impossible to continuously generate a profit state based on a plurality of specific display modes.
[0005]
Also, immediately after the game symbol becomes a specific display mode such as “7, 7, 7”, etc., a profit state such as opening of the variable winning means occurs, so for example, the specific display mode is set when there are fewer remaining balls. In some cases, the profit state has passed while the player is replenishing the game balls, and the profit cannot be fully returned.
[0006]
Furthermore, the game tends to be monotonous as a whole because the profit state always occurs following the symbol stoppage in the specific display mode.
[0007]
In view of such a conventional problem, the present invention can continuously generate a profit state based on a plurality of specific display modes, and has an interest in the game by changing the progress of the game. An object is to provide a gaming machine that can be further increased.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention is based on the variable display means 35 that can change the display state based on the establishment of a predetermined change start condition, and the display result after the change of the variable display means 35 is in a predetermined specific display mode. In a gaming machine provided with profit state generating means 58 for generating a profit state that is advantageous to the player, When the change start condition is satisfied during the change of the variable display means 35, the holding storage means 67 for storing information related to the establishment of the change start condition, and after the change of the variable display means 35 is completed, based on the information On-hold digesting means 68 for changing the variable display means 35; After the display result of the variable display means 35 becomes the specific display mode, the profit state executing means 57 for operating the profit state generating means 58 based on the fact that a predetermined condition is satisfied. When With When the change of the variable display means 35 ends and the information is not stored in the hold storage means 67, it is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied. It is a thing.

Based on the count value command from the control command transmission means 60, the count notification means 36 is notified to the count notification means 36 such as “Big hit stock number = 2”. The player is notified of the possible number of occurrences of the first profit state by displaying the wording and other indications.
[0053]
The execution notification control means 75 is for performing display control of the execution notification means 37, and based on the first profit state start / end command from the control command transmission means 60, during the occurrence of the first profit state, For example, the first profit state is displayed on the execution informing means 37 by displaying, for example, “1/3 big hit is being executed” and other indications indicating how many times the first profit state is generated. Is informed to the player.
[0054]
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine will be described. When a game ball is fired by the launching means 12 during the game, the game ball enters the game area 23 through the guide rail 22 and then wins the normal winning means 28 or the like while falling in the game area 23, While passing through the symbol starting means 25, it falls downward. When the game ball passes through the normal symbol starting means 25, the first random number obtaining means 62 obtains the hit determination random number value of the first random number generating means 61, and the hit determination random number value is set to a predetermined upper limit holding number. The first random number storage means 63 sequentially stores the limit (for example, 4).
[0055]
When one or more hit determination random number values are stored in the first random number storage means 63, the normal reserved number display means 32 counts the number of stored random numbers for determination (normal reserved number). ) Is displayed to inform the player of the number of normally reserved items at that time.
[0056]
When the normal symbol display means 31 is variably displayed and one or more random numbers for hit determination are stored in the first random number storage means 63, the first determination means 64 is the first random number storage means. One of the winning determination random number values stored in 63 is taken out earliest, and if the winning determination random number value matches the winning random number value, the determination result of the hit mode is output and the determination result Based on the above, a normal symbol variation control command is transmitted to the symbol control board 42 side via the control command transmitting means 60.
[0057]
When the determination result of the first determination means 64 is the hit mode determination, the normal symbol control means 75 on the symbol control board 42 side controls the normal symbol on the normal symbol display means 31 for a predetermined time and then hits “7” or the like. Stop in the manner. The opening / closing claw 26a of the special symbol starting means 26 is opened for a predetermined time by the control of the opening / closing control means 52, and it becomes easy for the game balls to win the special symbol starting means 26. If the determination result of the first determination means 64 is other than the hit mode determination, the normal symbol after the change is stopped in a deviating mode other than “7” or the like.
[0058]
When the opening / closing claw 26a of the special symbol starting means 26 is opened and a game ball is won, and the special symbol starting means 26 detects the gaming ball, the second random number obtaining means 66 is a jackpot determination disturbance of the second random number generating means 65. A numerical value is acquired and stored in the second random number storage unit 67 sequentially with a predetermined upper limit holding number (for example, 4) as a limit.
[0059]
When one or more jackpot determination random number values are stored in the second random number storage means 67, the special reservation number display means 33 counts the number of stored jackpot determination random number values (special reservation number). ) Is displayed, and the player is notified of the special reserve number at that time.
[0060]
When the special symbol display means 35 is in a state where it can be variably displayed and one or more jackpot determination random number values are stored in the second random number storage means 67, the second determination means 68 is replaced with the second random number storage means. One of the jackpot determination random number values stored in 67 is stored in the earliest, and if the jackpot determination random number value matches the jackpot random number value, the determination output of the jackpot mode is output. Are respectively output.
[0061]
Then, according to the determination result, the stop symbol pattern selection unit 54 selects the stop symbol pattern after the change of the special symbol, and the variation pattern selection unit 55 selects the determination result of the second determination unit 68 and the stop symbol pattern selection unit 54. The control command transmission means 60 transmits a special symbol variation control command to the symbol control board 42 side to select one of a plurality of types of variation patterns based on at least one of the selection results. Command fluctuation, stop, etc.
[0062]
On the symbol control board 42 side, based on the variation control command from the control command transmission unit 60, the special symbol control unit 73 varies the special symbol of the special symbol display unit 35 according to the variation pattern selected by the variation pattern selection unit 55. After the display, it is stopped in the stop symbol mode selected by the stop symbol mode selection means 54, that is, the big hit mode or the off mode.
[0063]
When the special symbol after the change becomes a big hit mode such as “6, 6, 6”, “7, 7, 7”, etc., the counting means 56 adds 1 to the number of big hits, that is, the possible number of occurrences of the first profit state.
[0064]
When the count value of the counting means 56 becomes 1 or more, the count notifying means 36 displays “Number of jackpot stocks = 1” or the like according to the count value, and notifies the player of the number of possible occurrences of the first profit state. .
[0065]
In addition, when the special symbol after the change is a big hit with a specific symbol (odd number symbol), for example, “7, 7, 7”, etc., the probability changing means 69 of the second profit state generating means 59 is activated. Then, the occurrence probability of the jackpot mode is changed from the normal probability to the high probability. After that, since the second determination means 68 determines whether or not the big hit mode is set in a high probability state, the possibility that the special symbol after the change becomes the big win mode becomes very high.
[0066]
After the second profit state occurs, the operation of the probability changing means 69 stops when the special symbol becomes a big hit with non-specific symbols (even numbered symbols) or the special symbol fluctuates a predetermined number of times so far. The occurrence probability of the big hit mode returns from the high probability to the normal probability (low probability), and the second profit state ends.
[0067]
When the number of special reserves becomes zero and the symbol variation of the special symbol display means 35 ends and the first profit state occurrence condition is satisfied, the count value of the counting means 56, that is, the first profit state occurrence possible number is 1 or more. Under certain conditions, the profit state execution means 57 activates the first profit state generation means 58 to generate the first profit states as many times as the number of possible occurrences of the first profit state.
[0068]
The first profit state generating means 58 opens the opening / closing plate 27a of the variable winning means 27, and the variable winning means means that a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses from the opening or a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses. When the predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins 27, the opening / closing plate 27a is closed, and the game ball that has won the variable winning means 27 passes through the specific area 38, so that the first profit state The opening / closing operation is continued up to a predetermined number of times (for example, 16 times) per operation of the generating means 58.
[0069]
Further, during the operation of the first profit state generating means 58, the execution notifying means 37 displays a message such as “execution of the 1 / 3rd big hit”, indicating that the first profit state is being generated and the first profit. The player is notified of how many times the state can be generated.
[0070]
FIG. 5 shows the variation of the special symbol by the special symbol display means 35, the number of special reservations (display state of the special reservation number display means 33), the number of times the first profit state can be generated (count value of the counting means 56), the count notification means. An example of each change state of the display of 36, the operation of the first profit state generation means 58, and the display of the execution notification means 37 is shown.
[0071]
If the number of special reserves is 4, and the count value of the counting means 56 is 0, and the special symbol is stopped at “7, 7, 7”, which is a big hit with a specific symbol (a1), the second profit state occurs. As a result, the probability of occurrence of the big hit mode changes from the normal probability to the high probability, 1 is added to the count value of the counting means 56, and “number of big hit stocks = 1” is displayed on the count notification means 36.
[0072]
After that, two of the four special symbol fluctuations (a2 to a5) until the number of special reserves reaches 0 without increasing in the middle, respectively, the jackpot modes “3, 3, 3”, “6, 6,” When the operation stops at “6” (a3, a4), the count value of the counting means 56 is added each time, and the display of the counting notifying means 36 also changes to “big hit stock number = 2” and “big hit stock number = 3” accordingly. To do. When the special symbol stops at “6, 6, 6”, which is a big hit mode with a non-specific symbol (a4), the second profit state ends, and the occurrence probability of the big hit mode changes from a high probability to a normal probability. Return.
[0073]
Then, when the variation of the special symbol in the state where the number of special reservations becomes 0 is completed (a5), the profit state executing means 57 causes the first profit state generating means 58 to continue for the count value of the counting means 56, that is, three consecutive times. (A5 to a6). During each of the operations, the execution notification means 37 displays “1/3 time jackpot execution”, “2/3 time jackpot execution”, and “3/3 time jackpot execution”. The count value of the counting means 56 is returned to 0, which is the initial value, by the occurrence of the first profit state.
[0074]
As described above, in the present embodiment, after the display result of the special symbol display means 35 becomes the big hit mode, the first profit state generation means 58 is changed by the profit state execution means 57 based on the fact that the predetermined condition is satisfied. Since it is activated, it is possible to change the progress of the game, and it is possible to continuously generate the first profit state based on the multiple hit mode, and the multiple profit state As a result, the player can move to a profit state while maintaining concentration, and can receive a sufficient return of profit.
[0075]
In addition, for example, even if the game is in a big hit state with fewer remaining balls, the player can afford to make preparations such as replenishing game balls before the profit state occurs. You can receive a return of profit.
[0076]
In addition, since the counting means 56 that counts the number of possible occurrences of the first profit state is provided, the first profit state can be reliably generated for the number of times that the jackpot mode is reached based on the count value, By providing the counting notifying means 36 for notifying the counting information of the counting means 56, the player can easily confirm the number of jackpot stocks.
[0077]
Furthermore, it is provided with an execution notification means 37 for notifying the operation of the profit state execution means 57, and the execution notification means 37 displays the number of occurrences of the first profit state being generated. Therefore, the player can easily confirm that the first profit state has occurred and how many times the first profit state can be generated.
[0078]
When the variation start condition is established during the variation of the special symbol display means 35, that is, when the special symbol start means 26 detects a game ball, a jackpot determination random number value which is an example of information relating to the establishment of the variation start condition is obtained. Second random number storage means 67 for storing a predetermined upper limit reserved number (for example, 4) as a limit, and special symbol display means 35 is changed based on the random number value for jackpot determination after the change of special symbol display means 35 is completed. A second determination means 68, and when the special symbol display means 35 has finished changing, and the second random number storage means 67 has not stored the jackpot determination random number value, it is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied. Since the first profit state generating means 58 is operated, the profit state can be generated in a state where the special reserved number is digested. Even if the jackpot embodiment in a state close to hold the number has occurred, the occurrence of adverse conditions to the player that a special number of holds in profit state generator exceeds the upper limit number of holds can be prevented.
[0079]
Further, if it is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied when the jackpot determination random number value is not stored in the second random number storage unit 67 in this way, the player stops the launch operation and holds it. It is possible to intentionally operate the first profit state generating means 58 by consuming the number.
[0080]
6 and 7 exemplify the second embodiment of the present invention, and show an example in which it is determined that the first profit state occurrence condition is satisfied when a predetermined fluctuation pattern appears.
[0081]
In the present embodiment, seven types of variation patterns A, B1, B2, C1, C2, D1, and D2 as shown in FIG. 7, for example, are preset as the special symbol variation patterns. The variation pattern A is a variation pattern that does not go through the reach state, and is selected only when the second symbol does not become a big hit mode.
[0082]
Further, the fluctuation patterns B1, B2, C1, C2, D1, and D2 are all fluctuation patterns that pass through the reach state, and the fluctuation patterns B1 and B2, C1 and C2, and D1 and D2 are the same kind of fluctuation patterns. The patterns B1, C1, and D1 are set to stop in a deviating manner, and the variation patterns B2, C2, and D2 are set to stop in a jackpot manner.
[0083]
As shown in FIG. 7, the selectivity (%) of each variation pattern A, B1, B2, etc. is during the occurrence of the second profit state (hereinafter referred to as the “probable variation state”) and the other (hereinafter referred to as the “normal state”). Is different. For example, the selection ratio between the first reach deviation variation pattern B1 and the third reach deviation variation pattern D1 is switched between the normal state and the probability variation state, and the selectivity of the third reach deviation variation pattern D1 is the normal state. The probability variation state (10%) is higher than (2%).
[0084]
In the profit state execution means 57 (FIG. 6), the third reach deviation fluctuation pattern D1 is selected by the fluctuation pattern selection means 55, and the special symbol of the special symbol display means 35 fluctuates according to the third reach deviation fluctuation pattern D1. When the condition for generating one profit state is established, after the special symbol changes, the first profit state generating means 58 is operated as many times as the number of possible occurrences of the first profit state counted by the counting means 56 and stocked. The first profit state that has been generated is generated together.
[0085]
With such a configuration, the number of times the first profit state can be generated is added to the counting means 56 every time the stop symbol after the change of the special symbol becomes a jackpot, and the special symbol of the special symbol display means 35 is the third reach. When it fluctuates according to the deviation variation pattern D1, the first profit state is generated as many times as the number of possible occurrences of the first profit state after the change of the special symbol.
[0086]
Further, since the third reach deviation variation pattern D1 is selected with a higher probability in the probability variation state than in the normal state, the first profit state occurrence condition is more likely to be established in the probability variation state than in the normal state.
[0087]
As described above, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be expected even when it is determined that the first profit state occurrence condition is satisfied when a predetermined variation pattern appears. Further, by changing the selection rate of the predetermined variation pattern between the normal state and the probability variation state, it is possible to provide a gaming state in which the first profit state occurrence condition is difficult to be established and a gaming state in which the first profit state occurrence condition is easily established. You can make changes.
[0088]
8 to 11 illustrate the third embodiment of the present invention, and show an example in which it is determined that the first profit state occurrence condition is established by operating the operation means 81 that can be operated externally. .
[0089]
As shown in FIG. 8, for example, push button type operation means 81 is provided at a predetermined position on the front side of the gaming machine main body 1, for example, on the upper platen base plate 5 a of the front plate 5. As shown in FIG. 9, the operation means 81 includes a substantially cylindrical case body 82 arranged in the front-rear direction, and an operation button 83 slidably fitted in the front side of the case body 82 in the front-rear direction. And an urging means 84 such as a coil spring which is disposed in the case body 82 and elastically urges the operation button 83 forward, and a substrate 85 disposed on the rear side of the case body 82 or the like.
[0090]
On the front side of the substrate 85, it is detected that the light emitting means 86 such as an LED that is lit during the operation effective period in which the operation of the operation means 81 is effective, and the operation of the operation means 81, that is, the operation button 83 is pressed. The operation detection means 87 including a substantially U-shaped proximity switch is mounted, and is disposed inside the case body 82 and behind the operation button 83.
[0091]
The operation button 83 is formed of at least a part of the front side thereof with a light-transmitting synthetic resin or the like, and emits light when the light emitting means 86 on the rear side is turned on to notify the player that the operation is valid. It is supposed to be. Further, a rearward protruding portion 83a is integrally provided on the rear side of the operation button 83, for example, and when the operation button 83 is pressed against the urging means 84 during the operation effective period, the protrusion 83a moves backward and is detected by operation detection means 87 comprising a proximity switch or the like.
[0092]
As shown in FIG. 10, the main control board 41 is provided with operation effective period notifying means 88. The operation effective period notifying unit 88 is for performing notification control of the operation effective period during which the operation of the operation unit 81 is effective. For example, the operation unit 81 is operated by causing the light emitting unit 86 to emit light during the operation effective period. The player is informed that it is valid.
[0093]
The operation effective period can be arbitrarily set. In the present embodiment, the count value of the counting means 56 is 1 or more, and the period during which the special symbol is being displayed is set as the operation effective period.
[0094]
The profit state execution means 57 is counted by the counting means 56 when the operation means 14 is operated during the operation valid period and the first profit state occurrence condition is satisfied, for example, after the change of the special symbol at that time. The first profit state generating means 58 is operated as many times as possible for one profit state, and the stocked first profit states are generated together.
[0095]
In addition, when the operating means 14 is operated and the first profit state generation condition is satisfied, the first profit state generation means 58 may be operated by temporarily interrupting the change of the special symbol at that time. .
[0096]
FIG. 11 shows the variation of the special symbol by the special symbol display means 35, the possible number of occurrences of the first profit state (count value of the counting means 56), the display of the count notification means 36, the state of the light emitting means 86, and the operation detection means 87. An example of each change state of the detection state, the operation of the first profit state generation means 58, and the display of the execution notification means 37 is shown.
[0097]
When the count value of the counting means 56 is 0, the special symbol starts to fluctuate (b1), and when it stops at “7,7,7”, which is the big hit mode with the specific symbol (b2), the second profit state occurs. As a result, the probability of occurrence of the big hit mode changes from the normal probability to the high probability, 1 is added to the count value of the counting means 56, and “number of big hit stocks = 1” is displayed on the count notification means 36.
[0098]
Subsequently, when the special symbol starts to change while the count value of the counting means 56 is 1 (b3), the light emitting means 86 emits light and notifies the player that the operation effective period of the operating means 81 has started. Then, when the operation means 81 is not operated and the special symbol is stopped at “6, 6, 6”, which is a big hit mode with a non-specific symbol (b4), the light emitting means 86 is turned off and the operation valid period is ended. In addition to notifying the player, 1 is added to the count value of the counting means 56, and the display of the counting notifying means 36 is switched to “number of jackpot stock = 2”. At this time, the second profit state ends, and the probability of occurrence of the big hit mode returns from the high probability to the normal probability.
[0099]
When the special symbol starts to change while the count value of the counting means 56 is 2 (b5), as in the previous time, the light emitting means 86 emits light and the operation effective period of the operating means 81 has started. Inform.
[0100]
When the player operates the operation means 81 during the light emission of the light emission means 86 and the operation detection means 87 detects the operation (b6), the operation valid period ends, the light emission means 86 is turned off, and the special symbol of the special symbol is displayed. When the fluctuation is completed (b7), the profit state executing means 57 causes the first profit state generating means 58 to operate for the count value of the counting means 56, that is, twice continuously (b7 to b8). During each operation, the execution notification means 37 displays “1/2 execution of big jackpot” and “2/2 execution of big hit”. The count value of the counting means 56 is returned to 0, which is the initial value, by the occurrence of the first profit state.
[0101]
As described above, if it is determined that the first profit state occurrence condition is established by operating the operation means 81 that can be operated externally, the player can use the first profit state when he / she likes it. You can enjoy the benefits.
[0102]
In addition, for example, if an operation effective period determining means for determining whether or not to generate an operation effective period is provided, and the occurrence rate of the operation effective period varies according to the gaming state (for example, the normal state and the probability variation state), the first profit It is possible to provide a gaming state in which the state generation condition is difficult to be established and a gaming state in which the state generation condition is easily established, and the game can be further changed.
[0103]
As mentioned above, although each embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to these each embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention. For example, with a predetermined number (1 or 10) of game balls to be awarded to a specific winning opening, the passage of a predetermined time, the stop of a special symbol in a predetermined stop symbol mode, or the normal symbol in a predetermined stop symbol mode The establishment of a predetermined condition (first profit state generation condition) for generating a first profit state by stopping the game, changing a special symbol a predetermined number of times, changing a normal symbol a predetermined number of times, firing a predetermined number of game balls, etc. You may make it judge.
[0104]
Moreover, the content of the predetermined condition may be variable. For example, a plurality of types of predetermined conditions may be switched by a random number lottery, a predetermined time, a change in gaming state, a player's operation, or the like.
[0105]
As information on the establishment of the variation start condition stored in the hold storage means, in addition to the jackpot determination random value, the second profit state determination random value for determining whether or not to generate the second profit state, a special symbol It may be a random number value for symbol determination used for selection of a stop symbol pattern, a random number value for variation pattern determination used for selection of a variation pattern, or the like.
[0106]
The upper limit number of pieces of information such as the jackpot determination random number is not limited to four, and may be three or less or five or more. Moreover, it is good also as variable according to a game state, and does not need to provide an upper limit reservation number.
[0107]
The fluctuation pattern may be selected on the main control board 41 side, or may be selected on the sub-board side such as the symbol control board 42, or the fluctuation time is defined on the main control board 41 side. A large classification variation pattern may be selected, and a sub-variation variation pattern defining a specific variation display mode may be selected on the sub-board side according to the large classification variation pattern.
[0108]
The special symbol stop symbol mode may also be selected on the main control board side, may be selected on the sub board side such as the symbol control board 42, or the main control board 41 side is in a reach state. It is also possible to determine a part of the conditions such as the occurrence of the above and to select a specific stop symbol form on the sub-board side.
[0109]
Even during the big hit (during the first profit state), the symbols may be changed to determine whether or not to generate a profit state. In this case, the number of jackpot stocks may be changed on the basis of the fact that the specific display mode is achieved in the symbol variation during the jackpot.
[0110]
Depending on the number of stocks of jackpots, the game symbols and character types, such as character color, character mode (bird, fish, etc.), game symbol color, game symbol mode (numbers, Chinese numerals, etc.), etc. Also good.
[0111]
The background color, background image, etc. of the variable display means 35 may be changed according to the number of jackpot stocks.
[0112]
Depending on the number of jackpot stocks, the fluctuation sound of the normal gaming state, the predetermined reach effect sound, the jackpot effect sound, etc. may be changed.
[0113]
A predetermined lamp effect or the like may be changed according to the number of jackpot stocks. For example, the emission color of the light emitting means 86 may be changed stepwise according to the number of jackpot stocks.
[0114]
The profit state based on one specific display mode may be executed based on establishment of a predetermined condition a plurality of times. For example, one half of the profit state may be generated when the predetermined condition is satisfied once, and the other half of the profit state may be generated when the next predetermined condition is satisfied.
[0115]
The display of the number of jackpot stocks by the count notification means 36 does not have to be performed at all times, and may be displayed based on establishment of a predetermined condition, for example, occurrence of a profit state. Further, the jackpot stock number may not be notified to the player, but may be notified only to the game hall side, for example.
[0116]
A function of resetting (initializing) the jackpot stock may be provided. Further, a function for making the jackpot stock unresetable, for example, a backup means may be provided.
[0117]
The predetermined condition for generating the profit state shown in the embodiment is merely an example, and arbitrary setting is possible. Depending on the setting contents, there may be a case where a profit state based on a specific display mode established by a certain player is executed by another player.
[0118]
The first profit state may be generated in a plurality of times. For example, when the first profit state generation condition is satisfied, the first profit state is generated a predetermined number of times of the count value of the counting means 56, and the remaining number of times is generated when the profit state generation condition is satisfied after the next time. It may be. In this case, the count value of the counting means 56 may be subtracted by the amount that generated the first profit state when the first profit state generation condition is satisfied.
[0119]
In this case, the player can freely set how many times the first profit state is generated when the first profit state generation condition is satisfied by a button operation (for example, the number of operations of the operation means 81). Alternatively, it may be set according to the gaming state, or may be selected by random number lottery, for example. For example, you may make it generate the 1st profit state for 1 time per operation of the operation means 81. FIG. Furthermore, an upper limit may be provided for the number of occurrences of the first profit state each time the first profit state occurrence condition is satisfied.
[0120]
The operation effective period of the operation means 81 can be set to an arbitrary period. For example, all the periods in which the count value of the counting means 56 is 1 or more may be set as the operation effective period. Further, the operation valid period may be variable according to the gaming state.
[0121]
The light emitting means 86 may be provided separately from the operation means 8. In addition, the means for notifying the operation effective period is not limited to the light emitting means. For example, a means for displaying a predetermined image on a liquid crystal display means or the like, a means for notifying by voice, a means for operating a movable object, a launching handle, etc. The thing etc. which operate the provided vibration apparatus may be used.
[0122]
The operation means 81 may have any configuration such as a lever type, a slide type, and a touch type. Further, if the arrangement position is a place where the player can easily operate on the front side of the gaming machine main body 1, the upper plate cover 8, the front side of the glass door 4, on or near the launch handle 13, the lower plate cover 11, etc. It can be installed anywhere.
[0123]
The opening / closing control means 52 may be actuated by the profit state generating means 57 based on the fact that the predetermined condition is satisfied after the normal symbol is in the hit state. In this case, the counting means 56 counts the number of times that the normal symbol is hit, and when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the opening / closing control means 52 is operated by the count value of the counting means 56, and the special symbol starting means 26 is activated. It should be opened. The predetermined condition in this case can be the same as the first profit state occurrence condition described above.
[0124]
Profit status is generated when profit status is stocked and a stock condition is generated when a predetermined condition is met, and when the display result of the variable display means is in a specific display mode, the profit status is generated as usual. The normal mode to be switched may be switchable. Further, the mode switching may be performed by an operation of a button or a lever on the front side of the gaming machine main body 1 by the player, a change in the gaming state, elapse of a predetermined time, random number lottery, or the like.
[0125]
The count notification means 36 and the execution notification means 37 may notify the number of possible occurrences of the first profit state and the operation of the profit state execution means 57 by a display other than the wording display. Further, the count notification means 36 and the execution notification means 37 may notify the number of possible occurrences of the first profit state and the operation of the profit state execution means 57 by the light emission of the lamp, the sound output, the operation of the movable object, etc. Good.
[0126]
The execution notification means 37 does not need to display the number of occurrences of the first profit state that is occurring, but simply notifies that the profit state execution means 57 is in operation. It may be a thing. Further, either one or both of the count notification unit 36 and the execution notification unit 37 may be omitted.
[0127]
As the second profit state generated by the second profit state generating means 59, for example, the probability that the special symbol will be a big hit mode is higher than the normal state, for example, the variation time of the special symbol is shortened from the normal state. What makes the opening time of the special symbol starting means 26 longer than that in the normal state, what makes the probability that the normal symbol hits higher than the normal state, and shortens the fluctuation time of the normal symbol than in the normal state To increase the number of rounds of opening of the variable winning means 27 (for example, normally increasing 5 times to 16 times), increasing the opening time of one time of the variable winning means 27 (for example, normally increasing 10 seconds to 30 seconds) ), Increasing the prescribed number of winnings of the variable winning means 27 (for example, normally increasing 5 to 10), increasing the upper limit reserved number of the normal symbol starting means 25 (for example, normally 4 to 10) To increase the upper limit holding number of the special symbol starting means 19 (for example, increase from 4 to 10 normally), to notify the timing of launching the game balls to win a predetermined character easily Various profit states can be used. Further, these plural types of profit states may be generated simultaneously or individually.
[0128]
Whether to stop the second profit state, that is, for example, whether to stop the operation of the probability changing unit 69 may be selected by lottery with a predetermined probability such as random number lottery for each variation of the special symbol.
[0129]
Further, the present invention is not limited to pachinko machines, and can be similarly implemented in various game machines such as slot machines as well as ball game machines such as arrange ball machines and sparrow ball game machines.
[0130]
When the present invention is applied to a slot machine, for example, when a predetermined number of credits (for example, 0), when a predetermined operation means is operated, when stopped in a predetermined pattern mode, every time a predetermined time elapses, It may be determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied when the value fluctuates a predetermined number of times.
[0131]
【The invention's effect】
