DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing a configuration of a central portion of a game board of a pachinko machine as a game machine to which the present invention is applied. As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment includes a special symbol display device 1 (corresponding to symbol display means) composed of a large liquid crystal display device at the center of the game board, and a special symbol is provided below the special symbol display device 1. There is provided a start winning opening 5 (which may be a simple through checker) that generates a symbol variation signal for variably displaying the special symbol displayed on the display device 1 when winning a game ball. Further, below the start winning opening 5, there is provided a large winning opening 7 that makes it very easy to win a game ball when opened.
[0013]
As shown in FIG. 2, the special symbol display device 1, the start winning opening 5 (strictly, a game ball detection sensor provided inside), and the large winning opening 7 (strictly, a solenoid or motor for opening / closing) The electronic control circuit 9 is connected. The electronic control circuit 9 is configured as a microcomputer including a CPU 9a, a ROM 9b, and a RAM 9c, and executes the following processing.
[0014]
First, based on a program stored in the ROM 9b, the CPU 9a performs a well-known process of generating a jackpot lottery random number and recording it in the RAM 9c every time a game ball wins the start winning opening 5 and a symbol variation signal is generated. Execute. In this embodiment, the CPU 9a generates a lottery random number from 0 to 700, 7 and 8 correspond to jackpots, 0 to 6 and 9 to 50 reach, and 51 to 700 correspond to normal. And
[0015]
Further, the CPU 9a executes the process shown in FIG. 3 in accordance with the recorded jackpot lottery random number based on the program stored in the ROM 9b. The CPU 9a repeatedly executes this process at a predetermined timing while the pachinko machine is operating.
When the process is started, the CPU 9a inputs the oldest jackpot lottery random number recorded in the RAM 9c in S1 (S represents a step: the same applies hereinafter). In subsequent S3, the naked king 51 is displayed on the special symbol display device 1 as shown in FIG.
[0016]
As shown in FIG. 4, when the king 51 as the subject is displayed, the king 51 moves and displays the road 53 and the background toward the back so that the king 51 marches forward on the road 53. In addition, the correct costume 55 of the king 51 is displayed in a dotted line above the screen, and the following various items are displayed around the king 51 and rotate around the king 51.
[0017]
In other words, in addition to the crown 61, the king's clothes 71, the king's wand 81 as the correct costume of the king 51, the wrong costumes include the Chung Mage 63, the top hat 65, the swimsuit 73, the one piece 75, and the witch's wand. 83, a tour flag 85, etc. are displayed. As described above, in this embodiment, the items are roughly divided into three items of clothes, a cane, and a hat, and various items are prepared in accordance with each item. Each item is displayed with an identification mark made up of numerals, and the same identification mark “7” is attached to the correct item (crown 61, king's clothes 71, king's wand 81).
[0018]
The items shown in FIG. 4 are not all items, but for example, as shown in FIG. 5 to be described later, a triangle cap 67 and a cowboy hat 69 are also provided as hats. That is, these items do not have to be displayed all at once, and may be displayed while being replaced or disappearing. Moreover, although the item of said 3 item is displayed simultaneously in FIG. 4, an item may be displayed for every item as the king 51 marches one item at a time while marching.
[0019]
Returning to FIG. 3, in S5 following S3, it is determined whether the jackpot lottery random number input in S1 is one of 0 to 50, that is, whether the value corresponds to jackpot or reach. When the jackpot lottery random number is 51 to 700 and corresponds to normal (S5: NO), the process proceeds to S7, and at least one of the items such as clothes, cane, and hat is mistakenly worn, and the process proceeds to S1 described above. . In this way, if an item is worn by mistake, it is unsuccessful, so after displaying the king 51 after the item is mounted in S7, the process proceeds to S1 without any processing and processing for the next jackpot lottery random number is performed. It is.
[0020]
On the other hand, when the jackpot lottery random number is any one of 0 to 50 (S5: YES), the process proceeds to S9, and the king's clothes 71 and the king's wand 81 are sequentially attached correctly. In the subsequent S11, as shown in FIG. 5, the hat items (that is, the crown 61, the chomage 63, the top hat 65, the triangular hat 67, and the cowboy hat 69) are displayed while being replaced violently. This is the reach display in the present embodiment.
[0021]
In subsequent S13, it is determined whether or not the random number is 7 or 8 (that is, a big hit random number). If it is neither 7 nor 8 (S13: NO), the wrong hat (Chung Mage 63, top hat 65, triangle hat 67, or cowboy hat 69) is attached to the king 51 (S15), and the reach display ends and remains as it is. The process proceeds to S1.
[0022]
On the other hand, if the random number is 7 or 8 (S13: YES), the crown 61 is correctly attached to the king 51 (S17), the image of the king 51 as shown in FIG. 6 is completed, and the process proceeds to S19. In S19, after executing a well-known special game such as opening the special prize opening 7 in another routine, the process proceeds to S1 again. Although not shown in FIG. 2, ROM9b video files of videos file及 beauty each item king 51 is stored in the above process is performed using these video files.
[0023]
As described above, in the pachinko machine of the present embodiment, an item that is completely mismatched with the king 51 as the subject (for example, a combination of the swimsuit 73, the chomage 63, and the tour flag 85, etc.) is attached to the king 51. There are cases where very unusual and unique patterns are displayed. For this reason, the change of the design itself is rich in unexpected amusement, and the amusement of the pachinko gaming machine can be improved satisfactorily.
[0024]
In the present embodiment, the correct costume 55 as a jackpot symbol is displayed in advance, and an identification mark is attached to each item, so that the items that are sequentially worn correspond to the jackpot symbol. It can be judged well whether or not there is. For this reason, when the items are gradually worn along the costume 55, the player's expectation that a big hit may be made increases. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the player's expectation can be further enhanced, and the entertainment of the gaming machine can be further improved. Furthermore, if attention is paid only to the identification mark attached to the item, it is possible to play a game in the same manner as a pachinko machine in which numbers and the like scroll as in the past, and it does not give an uncomfortable player an uncomfortable feeling. .
[0025]
In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment at all, It can implement with a various form in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention. For example, as examples of subjects and items, the following various examples can be considered in addition to the above. First, there may be an example where a girl as the subject comes out and wears clothes and accessories.
[0026]
Another example is a role-playing game style in which the main character as a subject obtains an item and wins if the item functions. Specifically, an example in which the main character obtains a key as an item and an image representing a jackpot or an image representing a slippage is included in a door opened in a keyhole.
[0027]
Furthermore, an example in which an arm, a leg, or the like as an item is merged with a trunk (or head) as a main body in an image of a coalesced robot, and an item such as a weapon is further worn. In this case, not only the item to be selected, but also a symbol with an incorrect item mounting position can be displayed. For example, a design in which arms and legs are worn in reverse. Further, in this case, a big hit may be given when the robot is completed, and a reach may be given when the robot is completed.
[0028]
Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the correct costume 55 as a jackpot symbol is displayed in advance, but the reach symbol or jackpot symbol may be displayed after all items are mounted on the subject. In this case, the player cannot determine whether or not the currently attached item corresponds to the reach symbol or the jackpot symbol until the item is completely attached. For example, even if a player thinks that the most appropriate item is attached, it may actually be out of place, or even if the player thinks that an unusual item is attached, it may be a big hit . For this reason, the player does not know to the end whether or not he is winning a jackpot. Therefore, in this case, the thrill of the game can be increased and the entertainment of the gaming machine can be improved well. In this case, it is desirable not to attach an identification mark to each item.
[0029]
Furthermore, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to pachinko machines but can be applied to various gaming machines such as pachislot machines and NES.
