BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the present invention, a variable display device such as a liquid crystal display provided on a game board is provided with a plurality of display rows for variably displaying a plurality of symbols such as numbers and symbols, and when a big hit occurs, a variable winning device is continuously provided. The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine configured to be in an open state and to make it easier to win a hit ball.
[0002]
[Prior art]
When the game board surface is provided with a design change display such as a color liquid crystal display, CRT, etc., and the starting condition is established by the ball hit by the player entering the tulip-type start opening, the design change display is displayed in 1-8. The symbols such as numbers and symbols such as ☆ ◆ ◎ or characters, etc. are variably displayed in multiple display columns (usually 3 columns) so that they flow up and down or left and right respectively. Is a big win when each row has the same symbol, such as “222”, “777”, “☆☆☆”, with a predetermined probability (about 1/300), and a variable winning device (large winning mouth) ) Opening and closing doors are continuously opened by the operation of the solenoid, making it possible to win a lot of prize balls by making it easy to win a hit ball, and it is configured to bring a lot of benefits to the player The gaming machine is a well-known street.
[0003]
In addition, the fluctuation display of the above symbol fluctuation display usually stops with a time difference in the order of left column, right column, and middle column, and when the left and right column stop symbols are the same (generally called “reach”) However, since the expectation that the middle row will be the same is heightened, the player's interest in the fate of the middle row was raised. In such a reach, the player's expectation for the jackpot occurrence is increased by adopting various display modes such as flashing the screen or making some sign or character appear on the symbol variation display. Entertaining.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in the conventional pachinko gaming machine, even if the left row and the right row stop symbols are not the same, the next variation display is started even if the start condition is satisfied until the middle row symbol variation stops. As a result, there was no possibility of being a big hit, so it was necessary to wait until the middle row stopped, and it took a meaningless time. In other words, such a dead time slows down the tempo of the game and hinders the excitement of the player.
[0005]
Further, the conventional pachinko gaming machine has a tendency to become rutted because the player is only expected to have the same stop symbol in each display row.
[0006]
Therefore, the present invention aims to make the pachinko game more interesting by eliminating the above-mentioned dead time and eliminating rut.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
For this purpose, the present invention acquires a jackpot determination random number when the start condition is satisfied, and determines whether the acquired random number is a predetermined jackpot value or not, and the start condition is satisfied. A uniform symbol determination counter that acquires a random symbol for determining a uniform symbol and prepares a uniform symbol according to the acquired random number, and an irregular symbol that acquires a random symbol for random symbol determination when the start condition is satisfied and prepares a random symbol according to the acquired random number When the determination counter and the symbol stop pattern determination means are configured on the control board, and the jackpot determination random number acquired by the jackpot lottery counter is not a jackpot value, the uneven pattern prepared by the counterbalance determination counter Is displayed as a stop symbol on the symbol variation indicator, and the jackpot lottery counter When the jackpot determination random number obtained from the above is a jackpot value, the matching symbol prepared by the matching symbol determination counter by the lottery by the symbol stop pattern determining means or the irregular symbol prepared by the irregular symbol determination counter One of the above is fixedly displayed as a stop symbol on the symbol variation display unit, and even when the irregular symbol is definitely displayed on the symbol variation indicator, a big win is generated and the variable winning device is continuously opened. To do.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows the front of the game board in this pachinko machine. In the figure, 2 is a symbol variation display comprising a color liquid crystal display provided on the game board 1, 3 is a normal winning port, 4 is a passing gate, 5 is a pair of blades 6 that can be opened and closed by a solenoid. It is a tulip-shaped start opening provided in Reference numeral 7 denotes a variable winning device comprising a large rectangular large winning opening provided below the start opening 5. The variable winning device 7 is provided with an opening / closing door 8 that is opened and closed by the operation of a solenoid. A continuous winning opening 9 is provided in the device 7. Reference numeral 10 denotes four holding display lamps provided for storing the number of hitting balls when the symbol variation indicator 2 displays the variation while the starting variation 5 is displayed and holding the starting, and 11 for hitting the passing gate 4. The normal symbol variation display (7-segment digital display device) 12 starts to change when the ball passes, and the number 12 stores the number of hit balls when the normal symbol variation indicator 11 passes through the passing gate 4 while the variation is being displayed. Four on-hold display lamps 13 are provided for holding the variable display, and 13 is a decorative lamp.
[0009]
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an input / output device related to the present invention connected to a control board 15 comprising a CPU, ROM, RAM, and I / O, and 20 is a passage detection for detecting a hit ball that has passed through the passage gate 4. A switch, 21 is a start switch that detects a hit ball that has won a winning opening 5, 22 is a count switch that counts the winning balls to the variable winning device 7, and 23 is a specific area that detects a winning ball to the continuous winning opening 9 The game control board further includes the symbol variation display 2, the hold display lamp 10, the normal symbol variation display 11, the hold display lamp 12, the decoration lamp 13, and the solenoid of the variable winning device 7. 24 and a solenoid 25 for opening and closing the blade 6 of the start port 5 are connected.
[0010]
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing signal processing means constituted by the control board 15 for each function. As shown in the figure, in this pachinko machine, the jackpot lottery counter 100, the matched symbol determining counter 101, the irregular symbol determining counter 102, and the symbol stop pattern determining means 103 are configured. The jackpot lottery counter 100 acquires one of 631 types of numerical values from 0 to 630 as a jackpot determination random number when the start switch 21 detects a hit ball, and the acquired random number is predetermined, for example, “136”. Alternatively, it is determined whether or not it is “451”, and if so, a jackpot flag is set. Similarly, the uniform symbol determination counter 101 acquires one of twelve numerical values from 0 to 11 as a random symbol for random symbol determination when the start switch 21 detects a hit ball. Also, the irregular symbol determination counter 102 is the same among the twelve numerical values from 0 to 11 when the start switch 21 detects a hit ball for each of the left, middle and right display columns of the symbol variation display 2. Is obtained as random pattern determination random numbers.
[0011]
Next, the operation of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When hitting is detected by the start switch 21 in step a, the random number is acquired by the big hit lottery counter 100, the matched symbol determining counter 101, and the irregular symbol determining counter 102 in step b. Then, the random number acquired as the jackpot determination random number is determined in step c. If it is “136” or “451”, the jackpot flag “1” is set in step d. The jackpot flag “0” is set at e, and the process proceeds to step h.
[0012]
When the big hit flag “1” is set in step d, the process proceeds to step f, and the symbol stop pattern is determined by the symbol stop pattern determining means 103. The symbol stop pattern determining means 103 determines whether to display the stop symbol on the symbol variation display unit to be the same for each display column or to display the stop symbol not to be the same for each display column by lottery. Therefore, a display that is the same with a probability of 9/10 is selected and the process proceeds to step g, and a display that is not the same with a probability of 1/10 is selected and the process proceeds to step h.
[0013]
In step g, a uniform symbol based on the determination of the uniform symbol determination counter 101 is prepared, and in step h, an irregular symbol based on the determination of the irregular symbol determination counter 102 is prepared. Then, in step i, the symbol variation display 2 displays the twelve types of symbols consisting of the numbers 1 to 8 and symbols or characters such as ☆ ◆ ◎ in such a way that they flow in three rows as if flowing from top to bottom. Later, the change display is stopped in the order of left column, right column, and middle column. If the jackpot flag is determined in step k and “1” is set in the jackpot flag, the process proceeds to step l, and the open / close door of the variable winning device 7 is continuously opened by the operation of the solenoid 24 to continuously win. Under the condition that the winning to the mouth 9 is a condition, it repeats up to the 16th round and finishes with a jackpot operation for making the variable winning device 7 open. If “0” is set in the jackpot flag, the process is terminated without performing such a jackpot operation.
[0014]
In this way, in this pachinko gaming machine, even if the jackpot flag is set to “1”, the symbol variation display unit displays an irregular symbol with a probability of 1/10 as a stopped symbol after symbol variation. Regardless, because the jackpot action is made, the player also doubles surprise and joy. In other words, it is usually disappointing because it is uneven, but this pachinko gaming machine sometimes makes a big hit and makes a huge impact. Therefore, even if the player does not reach the reach state, a sense of expectation that the player does not know when and when the big hit will come is always provided, and the conventional dead time can be eliminated.
[0015]
【The invention's effect】
Thus, in the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention, even if the stop symbols of each display row displayed on the symbol variation display are not the same, the jackpot is generated with a probability as appropriate. A great joy is given by the invitation, and there is a remarkable effect of further increasing the interest of pachinko games by eliminating the wasted time of this type of pachinko game machine and breaking the mannerism.
