[Prior art]
As described in Japanese Patent No. 3058868, the first type pachinko gaming machine is provided with a pattern variation display such as a color liquid crystal display and a CRT on the game board surface, and the ball hit by the player is a tulip type. When entering the start port, the symbol variation indicator displays variation in multiple columns (usually three columns) so that symbols such as 1-8 and symbols such as ☆ ◆ ◎ or characters flow up and down or left and right respectively. The display changes in order after a few seconds, and the stop pattern is determined in advance with a predetermined probability (about 1/300), for example, “222”, “777”, “☆☆☆”. When a predetermined symbol is reached, it becomes a big win and a special game state is entered, and the open / close door of the variable prize device (large prize opening) is opened by the operation of the solenoid, and a predetermined number of hit balls ( (Usually 10), or when the predetermined time limit (usually 30 seconds) has elapsed in the open state, the so-called first round is over and the variable prize-winning device is closed once, but during this first round If a hit ball has entered a continuous winning opening (referred to as V zone) provided in the variable winning device, the variable winning device is opened and opened immediately after the second round starts. When a predetermined number (usually 10) of hit balls enter the variable winning device that is in the state or when a predetermined time limit (usually 30 seconds) has elapsed in the open state, the second round is over and the variable winning is completed. The device will also close, but if there is a ball hitting the continuous winning opening during the second round, the variable winning device will be opened again as soon as the third round starts, thus continuing into the continuous winnings during each round. The ball hits the mouth The variable winning device is continuously opened until the final round (for example, the 16th round), and a lot of prize balls can be obtained in such a special gaming state, so that the player has many benefits. It is structured to be brought about.
[0003]
In addition, the fluctuation display of the above symbol fluctuation display usually stops in the order of the left column, the right column, and the middle column. However, if the left column and the right column stop at the same symbol, the middle column is temporarily changed to a different symbol. Even if it stops, it will flow in the opposite direction again. Eventually, the display will stop with the same symbol and become a big hit, or stop only with a different symbol (generally called “reach state”). ing. In other words, by making such a unique variation aspect of the symbol such as “reach state”, or a unique variation aspect called “super-reach”, the player's expectation for occurrence of jackpot is increased, and the game To entertain people.
[0004]
Also, when a big hit is made with an odd number of symbols such as “333”, “555”, and “777” (hereinafter referred to as a specific symbol), the probability of the jackpot occurrence after the end of the special gaming state is reduced from, for example, 1/300 to 1/300 Increase to 60 (in the industry, referred to as “probability”) or extend the opening time of the tulip-shaped starter from the normal 0.5 seconds to 2 seconds (in the industry, referred to as “short time”) In some cases, a special condition such as making it easy to satisfy the start condition is given, and a situation advantageous to the player continues even after the special gaming state is completed.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, this kind of pachinko gaming machine is simply a matter of determining whether or not a special gaming state will be entered depending on whether or not the stop symbol whose symbol change display has stopped changing forms a predetermined mode. There was a risk of getting the player bored and making the game rut.
Therefore, the present invention intends to increase interest by adding an unprecedented gameplay to this type of pachinko gaming machine.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Therefore, the present invention provides a special gaming state that is advantageous to the player when the start symbol is satisfied and the display symbol of the symbol variation indicator fluctuates, and the stop symbol that has been variably stopped after a predetermined time has formed a predetermined mode.
