Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine. Specifically, the present invention relates to a gaming machine to which operation means is added.

A pachinko machine that is a kind of gaming machine will be described as an example.
In a pachinko machine, when a player operates a launch handle, a pachinko ball is launched onto the game board surface. The fired pachinko balls fall while colliding with nails that are struck many times on the game board surface. When a pachinko ball wins at the start opening provided on the game board surface, three symbols arranged side by side are displayed in a variable manner on the symbol display. The symbols displayed in a variable manner are then stopped and displayed when the combination is a predetermined jackpot symbol (for example, “7, 7, 7”, “2, 2, 2”). . In the big hit game, opening and closing of the big prize opening continues for a long time. When the opening and closing of the big prize opening continues for a long time, many pachinko balls win the game, and as a result, a large amount of pachinko balls are paid out. Whether or not to win a big hit is determined by performing a big hit lottery at the timing when the pachinko ball wins at the start opening. The probability of winning a jackpot lottery varies depending on the jackpot symbol. For example, if the value of the jackpot symbol is an odd number (such as “5, 5, 5”, etc.), the jackpot lottery will be larger than if the value of the jackpot symbol is an even number (such as “6, 6.6”, etc.) The probability of becoming higher. A state where the probability of winning a big hit in the big hit lottery is called a so-called “probability change state”, and a state where the probability of winning a big hit is not high is called a “non-probability change state”. Even if it is determined to be in a probable change state, a big hit symbol corresponding to the non-probable change state (for example, “4, 4, 4”) is stopped and displayed to start a big win game. In this case, the symbol is changed again during the big hit game, and then the big hit symbol corresponding to the probability change state (for example, “9, 9, 9”) is stopped and displayed to notify that the probability change state is entered. Such a game effect is called a so-called “probability promotion effect”. Whether or not to perform a big hit symbol and a probable promotion effect is determined by lottery at the timing when a pachinko ball wins a prize at the starting port.

  Patent Document 1 describes a pachinko machine having two push buttons. This pachinko machine can select a variable display mode (reach fluctuation pattern) with a push button. In the case of hitting a big hit with a change that presents an option with this pachinko machine, the probability of re-changing to a big hit symbol with a probability change after stopping once with a big hit symbol with a non-probable change (i.e. (Probability of promotion effect) is increased.

JP 2003-236163 A

As described above, according to the technique described in Patent Document 1, when it is determined internally that a big hit with a probabilistic big hit symbol is internally determined, only the probability of using the variation that presents the option is increased. is there. For this reason, the player can recognize (illusion) that the predetermined effect is performed by pressing the push button, and that the player has shifted to the probable promotion effect by performing the predetermined effect. However, in reality, the probable promotion effect is performed with or without pressing the push button. For this reason, a player who knows the fact cannot feel the fun of pressing the push button. Such a problem is that in a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine, it is not desirable that an operation of a push button or the like for changing the production affects the game result (for example, the number of balls to be played or the rate of balls to be played). Due to machine-specific restrictions.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a technology that gives a player a sense of security and excitement in such restrictions unique to a gaming machine, and that allows the player to operate the operation means such as push buttons in an interesting manner. .

A plurality of lamps 27 that emit light by light bulbs or LEDs are arranged at various locations on the game board surface 12 or around the game board surface 12.
On the lower right side of the pachinko machine 10, a handle 38 that is operated by a player to launch a pachinko ball is mounted. The handle 38 can be rotated in the clockwise direction. A touch part 38 a that detects that the player is touching the handle 38 is provided on the outer periphery of the handle 38. A firing switch 38b (not shown in FIG. 1 and not shown in FIG. 2) is provided on the back side of the handle 38, which is turned on when the handle 38 is turned. The touch unit 38a and the firing switch 38b are connected to a firing control unit 180 described later.
A ball storage tank (not shown) for storing the prize balls to be paid out is provided on the upper back side of the pachinko machine 10.

A push button 92 operated by the player is attached to the lower left portion of the pachinko machine 10. The function of the push button 92 will be described in detail later.
On the back side of the pachinko machine 10, a main control unit 100, a sub control unit 150, a display control unit 160, a payout control unit 170, a launch control unit 180, and the like shown in FIG. Further, on the back side of the pachinko machine 10, a dispensing device 51 connected to the dispensing control unit 170 and a launching device 60 connected to the launching control unit 180 are mounted. The main control unit 100, the sub control unit 150, the display control unit 160, the payout control unit 170, and the launch control unit 180 have electronic components (CPU, ROM, RAM, etc.) mounted on a board on which printed wiring is provided. It has a configuration.

  The main control unit 100 includes a CPU 102, a ROM 104, a RAM 106, and the like. The CPU 102 processes a control program stored in the ROM 104 based on detection signals input from the gate sensor 54, the start port sensor 56, and the like. Then, the main control unit 100 outputs a command signal corresponding to the processing result of the control program executed by the CPU 102 to the solenoid 50, the sub control unit 150, and the payout control unit 170. Various sensors and driving devices are connected to the main control unit 100. In FIG. 2, these are represented by a gate sensor 54, a start port sensor 56, and a solenoid 50, and the other components are illustrated. Is omitted. The RAM 106 temporarily stores information such as various data and input / output signals generated in various processes executed by the main control unit 100.

The sub control unit 150 includes a CPU 152, a ROM 154, a RAM 156, and the like. A push button 92 is connected to the sub-control unit 150. The sub control unit 150 processes the command signal input from the main control unit 100 and the operation signal of the push button 92 by the CPU 152, the ROM 154, and the RAM 156, and outputs the command signal to the display control unit 160. Control the speaker and the like.
The display control unit 160 includes a CPU 166, a VDP 168, a ROM 164, a RAM 165, an image processing unit 162, and the like. The CPU 166 processes signals input from the sub control unit 150, the image processing unit 162, and the like according to a display control program stored in the ROM 164, and outputs a command signal to the VDP 168. The RAM 165 temporarily stores data, input / output signals, and the like generated in accordance with various processes executed by the display control unit 160. The VDP 168 processes the command signal input from the CPU 166 and outputs a display command signal based on the display data stored in the ROM 164. The symbol display 22 displays a symbol or character corresponding to a display command signal input from the display control unit 160.

The payout control unit 170 includes a CPU 172, a ROM 174, a RAM 176, etc., processes a command signal input from the main control unit 100, and outputs a drive signal to the payout device 51. The payout device 51 pays out a pachinko ball according to the drive signal.
In addition, the payout control unit 170 receives detection signals from a ball break sensor 51a and a payout detection sensor 51b provided in the payout device 51. The payout control unit 170 processes the detection signals from the ball break sensor 51a and the payout detection sensor 51b, and outputs a firing stop signal to the fire control unit 180 when it is determined that the ball is out of ball or ball ball.
To the firing control unit 180, a payout control unit 170, a touch unit 38a, and a firing switch 38b are connected. The firing control unit 180 detects that the handle 38 is operated from a change in capacitance caused by the player touching the touch unit 38a. The firing control unit 180 outputs a firing signal to the launching device 60 when the touch unit 38a detects that the player is touching the handle 38 and the handle 38 is rotated to turn on the launch switch 38b. . The launch device 60 launches a pachinko ball when a launch signal is input. When a firing stop signal is input from the payout control unit 170, the firing control unit 180 does not output a firing signal to the launching device 60 even if the above-described conditions are satisfied.

The overall operation of the pachinko machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
When the player turns the handle 38 to fire a pachinko ball, the pachinko ball reaches the upper part of the game board surface 12 along the rail 44 and frequently collides with nails hitting the game board surface 12 many times. Fall while changing its direction. The windmill 25 rotates when the pachinko ball hits, and suddenly changes the falling direction of the pachinko ball. When a pachinko ball wins the starting port 30, the starting port sensor 56 detects it. When the start opening sensor 56 detects the winning of a pachinko ball, five winning balls are paid out and three symbols arranged side by side on the symbol display 22 (left symbol 31, middle symbol 35, right symbol 39) are downward. Fluctuates to scroll. As for the changed symbols 31, 35, 39, the left symbol 31 and the right symbol 39 stop first, and finally the middle symbol 35 stops. When the combination of the stopped symbols 31, 35, 39 is a predetermined jackpot symbol, the pachinko machine 10 shifts to a jackpot state.
Depending on the jackpot symbol that has been stopped, after the big hit game, the gaming state shifts to a probability change (probability change) state or a non-probability change game state. The jackpot symbol that shifts to the probable state is “1, 1, 1”, “3, 3, 3”, “5, 5, 5”, “7, 7, 7”, “9, 9, 9”. . The jackpot symbols that shift to the non-probable state are “0 ・ 0 ・ 0”, “2 ・ 2 ・ 2”, “4 ・ 4 ・ 4”, “6 ・ 6 ・ 6”, and “8 ・ 8 ・ 8”. is there. That is, when an odd number of big hit symbols stops, it shifts to a probability variation state, and when an even number of big hit symbols stops, it shifts to a non-probability variation state.

As described above, when the symbols 31, 35, 39 are stopped, the middle symbol 35 is stopped last. The left symbol 31 and the right symbol 39 may stop at the same symbol (for example, “5 · □ · 5”). For this reason, when the left symbol 31 and the right symbol 39 stop at the same symbol (for example, “5”) and the middle symbol 35 fluctuates, when the middle symbol 35 stops thereafter, the symbol 31, There is a possibility that the combination of 35 and 39 becomes a big hit symbol (for example, “5 · 5 · 5”). Therefore, if the left symbol 31 and the right symbol 39 stop at the same symbol and the middle symbol 35 fluctuates, the player expects the jackpot symbol to be stopped and displayed, and is strongly interested in the state. This state is called “reach”.
When the pachinko machine 10 shifts to the big hit state, the open / close door 36 of the large winning opening 34 that is normally closed is driven by the solenoid 50 to open. The opened open / close door 36 is closed when either 10 pachinko balls have been won since opening or 30 seconds have elapsed since opening. If the pachinko ball passes through the V zone in the special winning opening 34 while the door 36 is open, the door 36 is opened again after being closed. The opening / closing of the opening / closing door 36 repeated in this way is performed up to 16 times, and 15 prize balls are paid out for one pachinko ball winning in the big prize opening 34. For this reason, when the pachinko machine 10 shifts to the big hit state, the player can acquire 2000 or more prize balls.
When the gate sensor 54 detects that the pachinko ball has passed through the gate 17, a plurality of normal symbols fluctuate in a normal symbol display portion (not shown) provided in the symbol display 22. And when this normal symbol becomes a predetermined combination, the movable blade piece 30a of the start port 30 opens for 1 second, and it is easy to win a pachinko ball.

When a pachinko ball wins at the start port 30, four reserved ball lamps provided on the symbol display 22 are turned on. If the pachinko ball wins the start opening 30 when the symbols 31, 35, 39 are fluctuating, the number of lighting of the holding ball lamp increases. Each time the symbols 31, 35, and 39 start to change, the holding ball lamp is turned off one by one. The upper limit of the number of reserved balls is four. Therefore, even if the pachinko ball wins the start opening 30 in a state where the four holding ball lamps are lit, the winning is ignored.
When the normal winning opening sensor detects the winning of the pachinko ball in the normal winning opening 18, ten winning balls are paid out. The speaker and lamp 27 entertain the player by emitting various sounds and lights as the game progresses.

Various processes executed by the pachinko machine 10 in accordance with the progress of the game will be described with reference to flowcharts and the like. A main control process S10 and a holding ball process S40, which will be described later, are processed by the main control unit 100, and an effect control process S50 is processed by the sub control unit 150.
As shown in FIG. 3, in the first process S12 of the main control process S10, it is determined whether or not the number of reserved balls exceeds zero. The number of held balls is stored in a held ball number counter provided in the RAM 106 of the main control unit 100 by executing a held ball process S40 described later. If it is determined in S12 that the number of held balls does not exceed zero (zero) (NO), the main control process S10 is terminated as it is. If it is determined in S12 that the number of held balls exceeds zero (in the case of YES), the process proceeds to S14.
In S14, the jackpot determination random number, the jackpot symbol random number, and the miss symbol random number are read from the RAM 106. These random numbers are stored in the RAM 106 by executing S45 of the holding ball process S40 described later. The big hit determination random number is for determining whether or not the big hit is. The jackpot symbol random number is for determining the jackpot symbol. The out symbol random number is used to determine the out symbol.

Following S14, S16 is performed. When S16 is performed, it is determined whether or not the jackpot determination random number acquired in S14 is a winning value. Specifically, the jackpot determination random number is collated with a probability variation jackpot table or a non-probability variation jackpot table stored in the ROM 104 of the main control unit 100. Whether to use the probability variation jackpot table or the non-probability variation jackpot table for collation is determined in S20 or S24 described later. In the probability variation jackpot table and the non-probability variation jackpot table, “win” and “off” are stored in correspondence with the collation values. The probability variation jackpot table stores more hits than the non-probability variation jackpot table. For this reason, when the probability variation jackpot table is used, the probability that the jackpot determination random number is determined to be a winning value is higher than when the non-probability variation jackpot table is used. The number of hits and misses corresponding to the collation values stored in the probability variation jackpot table has a probability that the jackpot determination random number is a hit value when collating using the collation value is “1 / 63.1”. It is set to be. The number of hits and misses corresponding to the collation values stored in the non-probability big hit table has a probability that the big hit determination random number is a win value when collating using that value is “1 / 315.5”. It is set to be. For example, when the big hit determination random number is “21” and a win is stored corresponding to the collation value “21” of the probability variation big hit table, the big hit determination random number is a win value. For example, when the big hit determination random number is “263” and a deviation is stored corresponding to the collation value “263” in the probability variation big hit table, the big hit determination random number is not a win value.
If it is determined in S16 that the big hit determination random number is a win value (YES), S18 is performed.

  In S18, it is determined whether or not the jackpot symbol random number is an even number. In this determination, the jackpot symbol is first determined using the jackpot symbol random number acquired in S14. Specifically, the jackpot symbol random number is collated with the jackpot symbol table stored in the ROM 104 of the main control unit 100. The jackpot symbol table stores a matching value and a jackpot symbol corresponding to the matching value. When the big hit symbol random number and the big hit symbol random number table are collated, the big hit symbol stored corresponding to the collation value matching the big hit symbol random number is determined. For example, if the jackpot symbol random number is “7” and the jackpot symbol “7,7,7” is stored corresponding to the collation value “7” of the jackpot symbol table, the jackpot symbol is determined. . Then, it is determined whether or not the determined jackpot symbol is an even number. If it is determined in S18 that the jackpot symbol is an even number (in the case of YES), S20 is executed. For example, if the determined jackpot symbol is “8, 8, 8” and the determination in S18 is made, the jackpot symbol is an even number, and therefore it is determined YES. When S20 is executed, a non-probable variation jackpot table is selected. Following S20, S22 is performed. On the other hand, when it is determined in S18 that the jackpot symbol random number is not an even number (in the case of NO), S24 is executed. When S24 is executed, the probability variation jackpot table is selected. S22 is performed following S24.

When S <b> 22 is performed, a command signal is output to the display control unit 160 via the sub control unit 150 and the sub control unit 150. The command signal includes information related to whether or not a big hit, a big hit symbol or a lost symbol, a symbol variation pattern, the number of reserved balls, and the like.
In S26 following S22, a big hit process is executed. When the big hit process is executed, the gaming state shifts to the big hit state, and the open / close door 36 of the big winning opening 34 repeats opening and closing. The opening / closing of the opening / closing door 36 is started after the time of fluctuation of the symbols 31, 35, 39 has elapsed. After the big hit process S26 is executed, the process proceeds to S32.
In S32, a process of subtracting “1” from the number of reserved balls is performed. After performing S32, the main control process S10 is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in S16 that the big hit determination random number is not a win value (NO), S28 is performed. In S28, the out symbol is determined using the out symbol random number acquired in S14. The out symbol is determined by comparing the out symbol random number with the out symbol table stored in the ROM 104 of the main control unit 100.
Subsequent to S28, S30 is performed, and the command signal is output to the display control unit 160 via the sub control unit 150 and the sub control unit 150. Subsequent to S30, S32 is performed.

The reservation ball processing S40 will be described. The holding ball process S40 is processed in parallel with the main control process S10 described above.
As shown in FIG. 4, in S <b> 42 of the holding ball process S <b> 40, it is determined whether or not a pachinko ball has won a winning opening 30. If it is determined in S42 that no pachinko ball has been won at the starting port 30 (in the case of NO), the holding ball processing S40 is terminated as it is. If it is determined in S42 that the pachinko ball has won the start opening 30 (in the case of YES), the process proceeds to S44.
In S44, it is determined whether or not the number of held balls is four or more. When it is determined in S44 that the number of held balls is four or more (in the case of YES), the held ball processing S40 is terminated. If it is determined in S44 that the number of held balls is not four or more (in the case of NO), S45 is performed.
When S45 is performed, a jackpot determination random number, a jackpot symbol random number, and a miss symbol random number are acquired. Specifically, the random numbers are acquired from the counter provided in the CPU 102 of the main control unit 100 at the timing when the pachinko ball wins the start opening 30. The counter repeatedly counts integer values within a predetermined range. The acquired random number is stored in the RAM 106.
Subsequent to S45, S46 is executed. When S46 is executed, “1” is added to the number of reserved balls. After executing S46, the reserved ball processing S40 is terminated.
In other words, when the winning ball process S40 is performed and a winning is made at the start port 30, when the number of balls held is four or more, “1” is not added to the number of balls held, and the number of balls held is When the number is not four or more, “1” is added to the number of reserved balls. Note that the data attached to the holding ball is a FIFO type, and the previously entered data is taken out first.

As shown in FIG. 5, in S <b> 52 of the effect control process S <b> 50, it is determined whether or not a command signal is input from the main control unit 100. If it is determined in S52 that a command signal has not been input (NO), the process waits as it is. If it is determined in S52 that a command signal has been input (YES), the flow proceeds to S54.
In S54, it is determined whether or not the input command signal is a symbol variation command. When it is determined that the command signal input in S54 is not a symbol variation command (in the case of NO), the process returns and the processes after S52 are executed again. If it is determined that the command signal input in S54 is a symbol variation command (YES), S56 is performed. The symbol variation command includes a symbol variation pattern and a final stop symbol.
In S56, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit. Specifically, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit using information on the final stop symbol included in the symbol variation command. When it is determined in S56 that the game is a big hit (in the case of YES), a big hit symbol variation stop process S60 is performed. The big hit symbol fluctuation stopping process S60 will be described in detail later. After performing the big hit symbol variation stop process S60, the process returns and the processes after S52 are executed again. When it is determined in S56 that the game is not a big hit (in the case of NO), the process proceeds to S58, and the symbol change stop process S58 is performed. When the off symbol change stop process S58 is performed, the off symbols (for example, “7, 8, 9”) are stopped and displayed after the symbols 31, 35, and 39 have fluctuated. After performing the off symbol variation stop processing S58, the processing after S52 is performed again.

The big hit symbol variation stop process S60 will be described. As shown in FIG. 6, in the first process S <b> 62 of the big hit symbol fluctuation stop process S <b> 60, it is determined whether or not it is a probable big hit. Specifically, it is determined whether or not a probable big hit is made by referring to the final stop symbol included in the symbol variation command. If it is determined in S62 that the probability variation is not a big hit (in the case of NO), S64 is executed.
In S64, it is determined whether or not the push button 92 has been pressed a predetermined number of times within a predetermined period. If it is determined in S64 that the push button 92 has not been pressed a predetermined number of times within a predetermined period (in the case of NO), S66 is performed.
When S66 is performed, 10% is set as the downgrade probability. After performing S66, the process proceeds to S70.
On the other hand, when it is determined in S64 that the push button 92 has been pressed a predetermined number of times or more within a predetermined period (in the case of YES), S68 is executed. When S68 is executed, zero percent is set as the downgrade probability. Then, the process proceeds to S70.

In S70, a lottery is performed for determining whether or not a downgrade is made according to the downgrade probability set in S66 or S68.
In subsequent S72, based on the lottery result in S70, it is determined whether or not it is downgraded. If it is determined in S72 that it is downgraded (in the case of YES), the process proceeds to S74. In S74, a symbol variation process is performed. When the symbol variation process is performed, symbols 31, 35 and 39 are variably displayed on the symbol display 22. FIG. 7 illustrates a state in which symbols 31, 35, and 39 are variably displayed on the symbol display 22.
When S76 is executed after S74, a probability variation big hit symbol (for example, “7, 7, 7” shown in FIG. 9) is temporarily stopped and displayed. That is, the probability variation big hit symbol is stopped and displayed even though it is determined that the probability variation big hit is not made in S62.
In S78, a big hit symbol re-lottery process is performed. When the big hit symbol re-lottery process is performed, the symbols 31, 35, and 39 are displayed in a variable manner, and sound generation corresponding to the symbol re-lottery process is performed by the speaker, or the light emission corresponding to the symbol re-lottery process is emitted from the lamp 27. It is done.
Following S78, S86 is performed. In S86, a non-probable change big hit symbol (for example, “2 · 2 · 2” shown in FIG. 8) is displayed in a fixed stop state. In this case, although the probability variation jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed in the process of S76, the non-probability variation jackpot symbol is finally stopped and downgraded. After executing S86, the big hit symbol fluctuation stopping process S60 is terminated.
On the other hand, if it is determined in S72 that it is not downgraded (in the case of NO), the process proceeds to S80. In S80, a symbol variation process is performed. In the next S82, the non-probable big hit symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed. Then, after performing the jackpot symbol re-lottery processing S84 in S84, the process proceeds to S86, and the non-probability variable jackpot symbol is confirmed and stopped.

If it is determined in S62 that it is a probable big hit (in the case of YES), S88 shown in FIG. 18 is executed. In S88, it is determined whether or not the push button 92 has been pressed a predetermined number of times within a predetermined period. If it is determined in S88 that the push button 92 has not been pressed a predetermined number of times within a predetermined period (in the case of NO), S90 is performed.
When S90 is performed, zero percent is set as the upgrade probability. After performing S90, the process proceeds to S92.
On the other hand, when it is determined in S88 that the push button 92 has been pressed a predetermined number of times or more within a predetermined period (in the case of YES), S93 is executed. When S93 is executed, 30% is set as the upgrade probability. Then, the process proceeds to S92.

In S92, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not the upgrade is made according to the upgrade probability set in S90 or S93.
In subsequent S94, it is determined whether or not the upgrade is based on the lottery result in S92. If it is determined in S94 that the upgrade is made (in the case of YES), the process proceeds to S96. In S96, a symbol variation process is performed.
When S98 is executed after S96, a non-probable variation big hit symbol (for example, “6, 6, 6”) is displayed temporarily. That is, the non-probable variation big hit symbol is stopped and displayed even though it is determined that the probability variation big hit is determined in S62.
In S100, a big hit symbol re-lottery process is performed. Following S100, S110 is performed. In S110, a probability variation big hit symbol (for example, “9, 9, 9”) is displayed in a fixed stop state. In this case, although the non-probable big hit symbol is stopped and displayed in the process of S98, finally the probable big hit symbol is stopped and displayed, and the upgrade is performed. After performing S110, it returns to FIG. 6 and complete | finishes jackpot symbol fluctuation | variation stop process S60.
On the other hand, if it is determined that the upgrade is not in S94 (NO), the process proceeds to S102. In S102, a symbol variation process is performed.
In next S104, the probability variation big hit symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed. In S106 following S104, a big hit symbol re-lottery process is performed. Then, the process proceeds to S110.

The number of jackpots after a predetermined time (for example, when the power to the pachinko machine 10 is turned on) and the cumulative number of times the push button 92 is pressed during the symbol variation of the symbols 31, 35, 39 reaching the jackpot (hereinafter referred to as “big hit variation”). It is also possible to store “the number of hour button operations accumulated”) and to display “the number of big hits / the number of accumulated button operations at the time of big hit variation” on the symbol display 22. However, if the push button 92 is not pressed once during the symbol variation of the symbols 31, 35, 39 reaching the big hit, the big hit is not counted as the number of big hits.
For example, “3/89” is displayed when the number of jackpots since the power to the pachinko machine 10 is 3 and the cumulative number of button operations when the jackpot is changed is 89. Further, it is also possible to display that “the number of big hits / the cumulative number of button operations at the time of big hit change” and to change the effect performed by the pachinko machine 10 according to the value. When such a display is performed, the player can interpret the numerical values of the number of jackpots and the cumulative number of button operations at the time of jackpot change in various ways. For example, it can be interpreted based on its own experience such that the number of cumulative operations of the push button 92 with respect to the number of big hits is a good stand, and the number of cumulative operations with respect to the number of big hits is a poor stand. . In addition, it will be easier to get directions to add some interpretation to your own experience, and you can play happily. If a clear button and a selection button are provided so that the accumulated value of the operation and the player's personal data can be switched and displayed, it becomes a guide when the player selects a table.
The effect that is changed or performed by pressing the push button 92 is not limited to the probable promotion effect, and may be, for example, a re-lottery effect for the number of short times.
When the push button 92 is pressed within a predetermined period after the big hit game is started, the big hit symbol re-drawing process is performed early, and when the push button 92 is not pressed within the predetermined period, The jackpot symbol re-lottery process may be performed immediately before the end of the jackpot game.

(Second embodiment)
A second embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a second type of pachinko machine 210 will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the description of the same parts as those in the first embodiment is omitted.

The top prize opening 254 is provided at the uppermost part of the frame body 252, and the inside prize opening sensor 254a for detecting the winning of a pachinko ball is mounted therein. When winning a prize at the winning prize opening 254, seven prize balls are paid out. The symbol display 256 disposed below the top prize winning opening 254 is a liquid crystal display and displays the number of rounds (described later).
Two large winning openings 258 are provided, and are formed by cutting out the left and right upper parts of the frame body 252. One blade 259 is provided at each of the winning prize openings 258, and opens and closes the winning prize opening 258 by rotating. FIG. 11 illustrates a state in which the blade 259 rotates outward to open the grand prize winning opening 258 and the pachinko ball 267 passes through the left big winning opening 258 (the feather 259 is a big winning prize). The state where the mouth 258 is closed is indicated by a dotted line). A guide member 265 for guiding the winning pachinko ball to the lower side is provided inside the big winning opening 258. A detection unit 264 is provided below the guide member 265, and a special prize opening sensor 266 is mounted therein.

  The character body 261 attached to the center portion of the center accessory 250 is formed in a comical dinosaur shape, and includes a main body 261a and a lower jaw 261b. The main body 261 a is fixed to the frame body 252. The lower jaw 261b moves up and down with respect to the main body 261a (a mechanism for moving the lower jaw 261b will be described in detail later). When the lower jaw 261b moves upward, the character body 261 closes its mouth, and when the lower jaw 261b moves downward, the character body 261 opens its mouth (FIG. 11 shows that the lower jaw 261b moves downward and the character body 261 opens its mouth. 12 shows both the state where the lower jaw 261b has moved upward and the state where it has moved downward). Hereinafter, a state where the mouth of the character body 261 is closed by the lower jaw 261b is referred to as a “closed state”, and a state where the mouth is opened is referred to as an “open state”. The open lower jaw 261b can store one pachinko ball. When the lower jaw 261b is closed, pachinko balls cannot enter the lower jaw 261b. When the lower jaw 261b storing the pachinko balls in the open state is closed, the stored pachinko balls fall from the rear end of the lower jaw 261b.

The upper shelf 269 is formed integrally with the frame body 252. As shown well in FIG. 12, the upper shelf 269 is inclined downward toward the character body 261. As shown in FIG. 11, the upper shelf 269 is formed with two guide walls 269a extending in the front-rear direction and approaching each other on the rear side, and a convex portion 269b disposed between the guide walls 269a. Has been. The guide wall 269a and the convex part 269b guide the pachinko ball to the character body 261 side. A lower shelf 270 is disposed below the upper shelf 269. The lower shelf 270 is inclined forward and downward.
A V zone 262 that is a prize opening is disposed just below the center of the front end of the lower shelf 270. On the left and right sides of the V zone 262, an N zone 263, which is also a winning opening, is arranged. In the V zone 262, a V zone sensor 262a for detecting a winning is mounted. An N zone sensor 263a for detecting a prize is also installed in the N zone 263. The lower shelf 270 is formed with two guide walls 270a extending in the front-rear direction and parallel to each other. The guide wall 270a guides the pachinko ball from the rear to the front.

As shown in FIG. 12, a solenoid 272 is attached to the upper portion of the center accessory 250. Solenoid 272 and blade 259 are connected by a link member (not shown). The blade 259 is driven by a solenoid 272 to open and close. A motor 273 is mounted on the back side of the center accessory 250. A plurality of link members 274 are interposed between the motor 273 and the lower jaw 261b. When the motor 273 rotates, the lower jaw 261b moves up and down (the mouth of the character body 261 opens and closes).
The lower shelf 270 is formed with a through hole 270b. A movable body 276 is disposed below the lower shelf 270. A cam 276 b is formed at one end (rear side) of the movable body 276. The cam 276b is rotatably attached to the frame body 252 by a pin 277. On the other end (front side) of the movable body 276, a sorting piece 276a is formed. The horizontal section of the sorting piece 276a has a triangular shape, and its apex faces the rear side. When the movable body 276 repeatedly rotates, the sorting piece 276a protrudes from the through hole 270b of the lower shelf 270 or sinks into the through hole 270b. In the following, the state in which the sorting piece 276a protrudes is referred to as a protruding state, and the state in which it is depressed is referred to as a non-projecting state. In FIG. 12, the movable body 276 in which the sorting piece 276a is in a protruding state is illustrated by a solid line, and the movable body 276 in which the sorting piece 276a is in a non-projecting state is illustrated by a dotted line.

  A solenoid 278 is attached below the cam portion 276b of the movable body 276. A slide member 279 that is movable in the horizontal direction is fixed to the plunger 278a of the solenoid 278. The slide member 279 is formed with a semicircular convex portion 279a. The cam portion 276b of the movable body 276 and the convex portion 279a of the slide member 279 are engaged. For this reason, when the plunger 278a of the solenoid 278 contracts and the slide member 279 moves to the rear side, the movable body 276 rotates counterclockwise. When the movable body 276 rotates counterclockwise, the sorting piece 276a enters a non-projecting state. When the plunger 278a extends, the slide member 279 moves forward. When the slide member 279 moves forward, the movable body 276 rotates in the clockwise direction, and the sorting piece 276a enters the protruding state.

As shown in FIG. 13, the CPU 102 of the main control unit 100 is stored in the ROM 104 based on detection signals input from the start port sensor 230a, the big prize port sensor 266, the V zone sensor 262a, and the like. Process the control program. A command signal generated by the CPU 102 processing the control program is output from the main control unit 100 to the sub-control unit 150, the solenoids 272 and 278, the motor 273, and the like. Various sensors and driving devices are connected to the main control unit 100. In FIG. 13, these are shown as a start port sensor 230a, a big prize port sensor 266, a V zone sensor 262a, solenoids 272, 278, The motor 273 is representative, and the other parts are not shown.
The display control unit 160 outputs a command signal for display control to the symbol display 256.

The overall operation of the pachinko machine 210 will be described with reference to FIG.
When a pachinko ball wins the normal winning slot 218, the normal winning slot sensor 218a detects it and seven prize balls are paid out. When the pachinko ball wins the starting port 230, it is detected by the starting port sensor 230a. When it is detected by the start port sensor 230a that the start port 230 has been won, the blade 259 of the center accessory 250 is opened for a predetermined time at a predetermined timing (the operation of the blade 259 will be described in detail later). ).

The effect control process S270 executed by the sub control unit 150 of the pachinko machine 210 will be described with reference to a flowchart and the like.
The effect control process S270 executes a process based on a command signal input from the main control unit 100. The command signals include a start opening prize command, a jackpot command, a next round command, a jackpot end command, and the like. The start opening prize command is input when a pachinko ball wins the start opening 230. The start opening prize command includes the number of rounds drawn at the timing when the pachinko ball wins the start opening 230 (hereinafter referred to as “lottery round number”). As for the number of rounds, one of 2, 7, and 15 values is drawn. The jackpot command is input when the jackpot is determined. The next round command is input when starting the next round. The jackpot end command is input when the jackpot game ends.
As shown in FIG. 14, in the first process S272 of the effect control process S270, it is determined whether or not a command signal is input. If it is determined in S272 that no command signal is input (in the case of NO), the process waits as it is. If it is determined in S272 that a command signal has been input (in the case of YES), the flow proceeds to S274.
In S274, it is determined whether or not the command signal is a start opening prize command. If it is determined in S274 that the command signal is a start opening winning command (YES), S276 is executed.

When S276 is executed, a start opening prize effect is performed and the number of lottery rounds is notified with a predetermined probability. In the start opening prize production, the lamp 27 emits light and the speaker 26 emits sound corresponding to the start opening prize. As described above, the advance notice of the number of lottery rounds is performed with a predetermined probability. Therefore, even if a pachinko ball wins at the start port 230, the lottery round number may or may not be notified. Therefore, the player is attracted to whether the advance notice of the number of lottery rounds is performed or not, and can play an interesting game. After performing S276, the process returns, and the processing after S272 is executed again.
If it is determined in S274 that the command signal is not a start opening prize command (NO), the process proceeds to S278. In S278, it is determined whether or not the command signal is a big hit signal. If it is determined in S278 that the command signal is a big hit signal (YES), S280 is executed.
In S280, it is determined whether or not the push button 292 has been pressed a predetermined number of times or more within a predetermined period after winning the starting port 230. If it is determined in S280 that the push button 292 has been pressed a predetermined number of times or more within a predetermined period (in the case of YES), S282 is executed. When S282 is executed, the lottery round number is set as the effect round number. The number of effect rounds is the number of rounds notified in a round lottery effect described later.
In S284 following S282, a big hit effect and a round lottery effect are performed. In the big hit effect, the lamp 27 corresponding to the big hit and the sound of the speaker 26 are emitted, and the player is strongly impressed that the big hit and the atmosphere of the game is raised. 15 and 16 exemplify a round lottery effect. When the round lottery effect is started, as shown in FIG. 15, the symbol 290 scrolls downward on the symbol display 256. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 16, the symbol 290 is stopped and the number of rounds (for example, “15”) is displayed. After performing S284, the processing after S272 is executed again.

If it is determined in S280 that the push button 292 has not been pressed a predetermined number of times within a predetermined period (in the case of NO), S286 is executed. In S286, the number of effects rounds is determined. As the number of performance rounds, a number of rounds different from the number of lottery rounds is determined with a specific probability. Specifically, the number of effects rounds is determined by the distribution shown in FIG. The numerical value (%) corresponding to the number of rounds of 2, 7, and 15 in FIG. 17 indicates the ratio for determining the number of rounds as the number of rounds for presentation. The present embodiment shows an example where there is an upgrade but no downgrade. For example, it is determined that the number of production rounds is 2 at a rate of 61.5 (%). Actually, the number of rounds to be selected is 1/3 each (23.3 (%)) for 2, 7, and 15 rounds. Therefore, when S286 is performed, the number of effects rounds is determined to be two rounds with approximately twice the probability that the number of lottery rounds is two. On the other hand, when the number of lottery rounds is 7, the distribution is 25.3 (%), and when the number is 15, the distribution is 13.3 (%). In such a case, the number of rounds smaller than the actual number of lottery rounds is often determined as the number of production rounds corresponding to the number of lottery rounds.
In S288 following S286, the number of effect rounds is set as the effect round number. For example, even if the number of lottery rounds is 15, and 7 times are determined as the number of effect rounds, 7 times are set as the number of effect rounds. After performing S288, the process proceeds to S284. In this case, in S284, a round lottery effect different from the actual number of lottery rounds is performed. For example, even if the number of lottery rounds is 15, a round lottery effect that the number of lottery rounds is 7 is performed.

On the other hand, if it is determined in S278 that the command signal is not a big hit signal (NO), S290 is executed. In S290, it is determined whether or not the command signal is a next round signal. If it is determined in S290 that the command signal is the next round signal (YES), S292 is executed.
In S292, it is determined whether or not the number of rounds is the number of effect rounds. If it is determined in S292 that the number of rounds is the number of effect rounds (in the case of YES), the process proceeds to S294 and a round promotion effect is performed. For example, when the number of performance rounds is set to 2 and the number of lottery rounds is 7, round promotion that informs that the number of lottery rounds is 7 when the number of rounds becomes 2 Production is performed. After performing S294, the processing after S272 is executed again. In addition, when it is determined in S292 that the number of rounds is not the number of effect rounds (in the case of NO), the processing after S272 is executed again.
If it is determined in S290 that the command signal is not the next round signal (NO), the process proceeds to S296. In S296, it is determined whether or not the command signal is a jackpot end command. When it is determined in S296 that the command signal is a jackpot end command (in the case of YES), a jackpot end effect for notifying that the jackpot ends is executed by executing S298. And the process after S272 is performed again. If it is determined in S296 that the command signal is not a jackpot end command (NO), S298 is skipped.

  According to the effect control process S270 described above, when the push button 292 is pressed a predetermined number of times or more within a predetermined period, round lottery effects are performed in the same number as the lottery rounds. Therefore, the player can perform the round lottery effect according to the number of lottery rounds by operating the push button 292, so that the player can know the exact number of lottery rounds at an early stage. As a result, there is a substantial value that the player can enjoy the game with peace of mind. On the other hand, when it is desired to enjoy the performance, it is not necessary to set the operation state of the push button 292 to a predetermined one, so the player has a choice.

Specific examples of the present invention have been described in detail above, but these are merely examples and do not limit the scope of the claims. The technology described in the claims includes various modifications and changes of the specific examples illustrated above.
In addition, the technical elements described in the present specification or drawings exhibit technical usefulness alone or in various combinations, and are not limited to the combinations described in the claims at the time of filing. In addition, the technology illustrated in the present specification or the drawings achieves a plurality of objects at the same time, and has technical utility by achieving one of the objects.

(1) The means for inputting the player's operation may be other than the push buttons 92 and 292. For example, a non-contact type switch that is turned on when a hand is brought close or a momentary switch that is turned on when the hand is brought down is used as the operation means.
(2) The predetermined period for determining that a predetermined operation has been performed on the push buttons 92 and 292 is not necessarily limited to the big hit game as in the pachinko machine 10, or in the starting port 230 as in the pachinko machine 210. It is not necessary to start from the starting point. For example, the start of the predetermined period may be when the pachinko machine 10 or 210 is powered on. In this case, when the push buttons 92 and 292 and the handle 38 are not operated for a specific period (for example, 5 minutes), the content of the predetermined operation before that may be cleared. If comprised in this way, the content of predetermined operation will be cleared when it is not operated over a specific period, ie, by a player's replacement. Therefore, the player can play the game without taking over the previous predetermined operation result. Then, since the predetermined operation of only that player is used, the player can have an opportunity to try to interpret his / her own operation. An operation means for clearing the data of the previous predetermined operation can also be provided.
