FIG. 1 is a front view showing a gaming board surface of a pachinko gaming machine as an example of the gaming machine according to the present invention. When the player operates a hitting operation handle (not shown), the pachinko balls stored in the hitting stand (not shown) are buried one by one in the game area 3 formed on the front surface of the game board 1. The game area 3 is provided with a variable display device 4 composed of a display device capable of displaying a moving image and a start winning opening 7. The pachinko ball that has won in the start winning opening 7 is detected by the start winning ball detector 8.
[0011]
Based on the detection signal of the start winning ball detector 8, a shooting image for shooting a predetermined target, which will be described later, is displayed on the LCD display device 5 of the variable display device 4. Then, when an image that hits the target is displayed in a predetermined manner to be described later, the opening / closing plate 10 of the variable winning ball apparatus 9 is opened, which is advantageous for a player who easily wins a hit ball. In this state, a predetermined game value can be given.
[0012]
The variable winning ball device 9 is normally in a second state that is disadvantageous for the player with the opening / closing plate 10 closed, but the display result of the variable display device 4 is the target in the predetermined manner. If the image is a hit, the solenoid 11 is excited and the opening / closing plate 10 is opened, and a big hit state is generated. The first state of the variable winning ball apparatus 9 ends when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winning balls or a predetermined period (for example, 30 seconds), whichever comes first, is satisfied. The second state is entered.
[0013]
On the other hand, a specific winning area and a normal winning area are formed in the variable winning ball apparatus 9, and the pachinko ball that has entered the variable winning ball apparatus 9 in the first state wins the specific winning area. If it is detected by the specific winning ball detector 12, the repeated continuation control for driving and controlling the variable winning ball apparatus 9 to the first state again is performed after the completion of the first state. The upper limit number of this repeated continuation control is set to 16 times, for example. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 13 denotes a winning ball detector that detects a winning ball that is won in a normal winning area formed in the variable winning ball apparatus 9, and is detected by the specific winning ball detector 12 and the normal winning ball detector 13. The total number of winning balls received is displayed on the winning number display 14. Note that the second state of the variable winning ball apparatus 9 may be a state in which a hit ball can be won but a difficult to win state.
[0014]
If the pachinko ball wins again at the start winning opening 7 while the variable display device 4 is performing variable display, the start winning is stored, and after the variable display device 4 is variably stopped, the variable display can be started again and then the start is started. The variable display device 4 is variably started again based on the winning memory. The upper limit value of the start winning memory is determined to be “4”, for example, and the starting winning memory value is displayed by the start winning memory display 6.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining an image display control operation by the variable display device 4. First, in step S (hereinafter simply referred to as “S”) 1, it is determined whether or not the start winning ball detector is turned on, and waits until it is turned on. Then, if the pachinko ball wins the start winning opening 7 and is detected by the start winning ball detector 8, the process proceeds to S2, and UFO appears on the display screen (see FIG. 2A). Next, proceeding to S3, two rounds of shell 52 are fired from the missile launcher 51 (see FIG. 4C). Next, the process proceeds to S4, where the count value of the random counter 2 is sampled, the shell 52 is fired on the UFO with a sign corresponding to the sampled value, and an image hitting this UFO is displayed at S5. At the same time, the symbol attached to the UFO that has been hit is displayed as the left symbol 54 (see FIGS. 3A and 3B). The random counter 2, random counter 1, random counter 3, random counter 4, and random counter 5, which will be described later, are input every time a periodic reset signal from the periodic reset circuit 35 is input to the basic circuit 29 (for example, every 2 msec). “1” is added.
[0030]
Next, in S6, it is determined whether or not the random counter 1 is “0”. If it is not “0”, the process proceeds to S7, where the count value of the random counter 3 is sampled and a code corresponding to the value is obtained. Control is performed so that the shell 52 is fired to the UFO marked with, the shell 52 hits the UFO, and the code attached to the UFO 54 hit is displayed as an intermediate symbol 55 in S8. Next, the process proceeds to S9, where it is determined whether or not the left symbol 54 and the middle symbol 55 are equal. If they are equal, the reach state is established and the process proceeds to S10.
[0031]
When the reach state is established, a control is performed in which the moving speed of the UFO is decelerated and the color of the back image 57 changes from blue to yellow in S10, and the same symbols as those of the left symbol 52 and the middle symbol 55 are attached. An operation image for tracking the UFO 50 by the missile launcher 51 is displayed (S11). Next, the process proceeds to S12, where the count value of the random counter 5 is sampled, and an image in which the cannonballs 52 are swung and fired from the missile launching device 51 according to the value is displayed (see FIG. 3C). In this case, when the sampling value of the damdam counter 5 is “0”, the number of shells 52 that are missed and fired from the missile launching device 51 is “0”, and the missile firing is not performed. Further, when the sampling value of the random counter 5 is any one of 1, 2 and 3, as many shells 52 as the number corresponding to the respective count values are shot and fired.
[0032]
On the other hand, if it is determined by S9 that the left symbol and the middle symbol do not match, the process proceeds to S23, where the count value of the random counter 4 is sampled and a code corresponding to the sampled value is attached. An image of firing the cannonball 52 is displayed on the UFO, and the symbol attached to the UFO when the cannonball 52 hits the UFO is displayed as a right symbol 56 by S24 (FIG. 4B, (See (c)). Then, the reset state is entered.
[0033]
On the other hand, if the sampling value of the random counter 1 is “0” by S6, as described above, it is determined in advance that a big hit will be generated, and the process proceeds to S21, where the S4 extracted by the random counter 2 and While the cannonball 52 is fired to the UFO having the same reference numeral, control is performed in S22 so that the cannonball 52 hits the UFO and displays the reference numeral attached to the UFO as the middle symbol 55 (FIG. 3 ( b) and (c)). As described above, when it is determined in advance that the sampling value of the random counter 1 is “0” and the jackpot is generated, the left symbol and the middle symbol are the same based on the sampling value of the same random counter 2. The display is controlled so as to be a symbol and the reach state is controlled, and the reach control operation of S10 to S12 is performed thereafter.
[0034]
Next, the process proceeds to S13, where it is determined whether or not the sampling number of the random counter 1 is “0”. If it is not “0”, that is, if it is out, the process proceeds to S25, and the count value of the random counter 4 is sampled. Then, the shell 52 is fired on the UFO 50 to which the code corresponding to the sampling value is attached, and the control is performed in S26 so that the shell 52 hits the UFO and the code attached to the UFO is displayed as the right symbol 56. (See FIGS. 4A and 4B).
[0035]
On the other hand, when the sampling value of the random counter 1 is “0”, that is, when the big hit is determined in advance, the process proceeds to S14, and the shell is applied to the UFO to which the code extracted by the same random counter 2 as S4 and S20 is attached. 52 is fired, and at S15, the shell 52 hits the UFO, and the symbol attached to the UFO is displayed as the right symbol 56 (see FIGS. 4A and 4B). As described above, when the sampling value of the random counter 1 is “0”, the symbols corresponding to the sampling value of the same random counter 2 are displayed as the left symbol, the middle symbol, and the right symbol. Will be displayed, and a big hit state will occur. Next, in S16, “HIT” is displayed on the screen and “1 ROUND” is displayed. Next, in S17, it is determined whether or not the earlier condition is established between winning a predetermined period (for example, 30 seconds) or a predetermined number (for example, 10) of pachinko balls after the variable winning ball apparatus is opened. In the case of NO, the process proceeds to S18, and it is determined whether or not the specific winning ball detector 12 is ON. Then, if the variable winning ball device 9 is in the first state and the pachinko ball that has entered the variable winning ball device 9 wins the specific winning area and is detected by the specific winning ball detector 12, the process proceeds to S19, and V Display, that is, image display in which the UFO rotates around V is performed. Next, proceeding to S20, when the repeat continuation control in the first state of the variable winning ball apparatus 14 has not reached its upper limit value, that is, when the continuation right is held, ROUND display and V display are performed up to the upper limit value, that is, 16 ROUND. It is. On the other hand, in S13, the variable winning ball device 12 is in the first state, and a condition of whichever comes first, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of pachinko balls or a predetermined period (for example, 30 seconds), is established. If no single pachinko ball has won the specific winning area until the first state of the variable winning ball apparatus is finished, the determination of YES is made in S17, and the repeated continuation control is the upper limit. The variable display device 4 displays a message indicating that the process has ended halfway without reaching the number of times (so-called punctured) (S27), and then enters a reset state. By S1 to S27 before and after, a display control unit is configured to display a shooting image of shooting a target by the image display device and display whether or not the target hits as a result of shooting.
