Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine in which a special game state is generated based on the fact that a variable display game is performed using a plurality of identification information and the stop display mode of the variable display game is changed to a special stop display mode.

  As conventional gaming machines, for example, the so-called first type (seven machine type), third type (rights), other types (general power) pachinko machines, etc. Equipped with a variable display device and a general display (ordinary symbol) variable display device, etc., to generate a special game state, that is, a big hit state based on a special display variable display game result, or a variable display game result of a normal diagram The hit state of the usual figure is generated based on.

  Specifically, based on the winning of the game ball in the starting winning opening provided in the game area on the front side of the game board, the variable display design of the special display variable display device (for example, numbers from 0 to 9, alphabets, etc.) A variable display game (fluctuating display game) that stops in order after the three-digit symbols consisting of symbols fluctuate is performed, and the variable display game result is a predetermined stop display mode (such as “7, 7, 7”) ), A big hit state (opener of the attacker in the case of one type) is generated.

  In addition, when a reach state (for example, “7, 7,-” (− is still changing)) at the time when the second-digit symbol of the special display variable display symbol is stopped, the player is informed. In order to give the expectation of occurrence of a big hit, a reach scroll state is generally generated in which the variation of the third digit symbol is changed to a long time or a slow variation.

Also, for example, when the reach state is reached, the scroll display of the identification information is displayed small in the variable display unit and switched to the character screen, for example, an effect display in which the hero character and the monster character fight is performed on the variable display unit, There is a gaming machine that determines and displays the stop mode of the identification information depending on the result of the battle (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP-A-6-190118

  However, in the conventional gaming machine, the probability of occurrence of reach symbols or jackpot symbols is determined by the number of symbols that appear (for example, 15 symbols) or the number of display units (for example, three display units). For example, reach occurrence probability 1/15, jackpot occurrence probability 1/225, etc.), the display content is not surprising, and the game tends to be monotonous with little expectation.

  In addition, the variable display game performed by the variable display device is about 6 to 10 seconds from the start of the change (20 seconds when the reach occurs), and one game is finished, but the time taken for the one game is too short. Therefore, a display game with a complicated development could not be performed.

  On the contrary, if the time taken for one game is lengthened to perform a display game with a complicated development, the number of executable variable display games per unit time decreases, and the probability of occurrence of jackpot per unit time decreases. There was a problem.

  Therefore, even in the conventional reach scroll state, complicated development cannot be performed, and the player has not been able to have enough expectation of occurrence of a big hit. For example, in the above-described reach scroll, if the winning symbol scrolls and the winning symbol passes, or if the winning symbol comes off before it hits and stops at the symbol, the expectation of generating a big hit is lost at that moment. End up.

  Furthermore, since the variable display game performed for each start winning is repeated tens of times or hundreds of times during the game, there is a problem that a monotonous game is bored.

The present invention aims to provide a game machine capable of view of the above problems, is long-lasting Xing flavor of the player.

  FIG. 3 shows a main control block diagram of the display control circuit 40.

  The display control circuit 40 includes a display CPU 41 having a control ROM 41a and a control RAM 41b outside, a work RAM 42b, a VDP (Video Digital Processor) 42 having a character ROM (Read Only Memory) 42a and a video RAM 43, and a driver. 44, a sound generator 45, an amplifier 46, and the like.

  The display CPU 41 is connected to the accessory IC 21 or the VDP 42 of the accessory control circuit 20, and a command signal and a strobe signal that takes the timing of this command signal are transmitted from the accessory IC 21. Command signals and image timing signals are exchanged with the VDP 42. Then, the display control process of the effect display device 4b is performed under the control of the accessory control circuit 20.

  A display control program, display control data, and the like are written in the control R0M 41a, and the control RAM 41b includes a storage area for temporarily storing various signal data, a work area for the display CPU 41, and the like.

  The work RAM 42b provides a work area for the VDP 42, and the character ROM 42a is written with image data such as characters and backgrounds that are variably displayed on the effect display device 4b in association with the variable display game of the special figure. The video RAM 43 is provided with a character RAM area 43a and a background RAM area 43b.

  The VDP 42 receives a command signal from the display CPU 41, extracts character and background image data from the character ROM 42a, edits the work RAM 42b as a work area, and stores the edited symbol data in the symbol RAM area 43a. Are temporarily stored in the background RAM area 43b, and the stored contents are loaded on the R, G, B signals on the basis of the image timing signal from the effect display device 4b to the effect display device 4b via the driver 44. The image is sent and displayed.

  The display control circuit 40 and the above-mentioned accessory control circuit 20 constitute image effect display control means for performing execution control of the image effect display game in connection with the special display variable display game.

  The pachinko gaming machine according to this embodiment is configured as described above, and the following game control and display control are performed by the accessory control circuit 20 and the display control circuit 40, for example.

  That is, normally, the display control circuit 40 performs display control of the effect display device 4b based on a command signal from the accessory control circuit 20, and an image display such as a customer call display is performed on the effect display device 4b. Yes.

  In this state, when the game ball launched into the game area 3 passes through the normal start gate 9a and the detection signal from the general start switch 9e is input from the low pass filter 27 side, the output to the driver 26 is obtained. Based on this, the usual variable display game is performed by the usual variable display 7.

  During the usual variable display game, if the game ball passes through the usual start gate 9a and the detection signal from the usual figure start switch 9e is input from the low-pass filter 27 side, the number of times the passage is detected is determined. It is stored in the RAM 21b. The stored number of display signals are output to the driver 26, and the usual start memory displays 9b, 9b,. Then, the usual variable display games corresponding to the stored number are sequentially played.

  If the result of this variable display game is a specific stop display mode (for example, “7”), the special figure starting port 9d of the normal variable winning device 9 will be a predetermined time (for example, “7”). For 0.5 seconds). As a result, the game ball that has flowed into the guide rod 9c of the normal variation winning device 9 wins the special figure starting port 9d, and accordingly, the generation of the special symbol variable display game is facilitated.

  On the other hand, when a game ball that has been driven into the game area 3 wins the special figure starting ports 6 and 9d, the winning is detected by the special figure starting switches 6a and 9f and stored in the RAM 21b. 26, an output signal is sent, and a special symbol variable display game is performed in the special display variable display 4a.

  This special symbol variation display game is a two-digit symbol combination game using numbers, symbols, etc. First, in the special symbol variable display 4a, the symbol (identification information) starts high-speed variation display and is predetermined. Two symbols (identification information) are stopped and displayed after time.

  FIG. 4 shows symbols (a) to (y) displayed on the left frame of the special display variable display 4a, and FIG. 5 shows (a) to (z) displayed on the right frame. The design of is shown.

  The types of symbols displayed on the special display variable display 4a are, for example, the 25 types of symbols shown in FIGS. 4A to 4Y displayed in the left frame and displayed in the right frame. The thing is 26 kinds of designs of Fig.5 (a)-(z). Among these symbols, there are only three types of symbols “3”, “5”, and “7” that are likely to be the same on the left and right. The probability and the control probability are almost the same.

  During the special symbol variable display game, when a game ball is further won in the special figure starting port 6, 6 or the normal variation winning device 9 and is detected by the special figure starting switches 6a, 9f, the special figure is displayed by the winning. The number of times that the variable display game is unprocessed is stored in the RAM 21b, and the special figure start memory display 4b is turned on by the number corresponding to the number of unprocessed memories. Then, after the end of the variable display game, the number of unprocessed variable display games is sequentially performed. Each time the variable display game is performed, the number of unprocessed memories in the RAM 21b is subtracted and the special figure start memory display is performed. The devices 4b are sequentially turned off one by one.

  As a result of this special symbol variable display game, a predetermined special stop mode (for example, “3, 3”, “5, 5”, “7, 7”, etc.) When this happens, a special game called a jackpot is generated.

  Then, during the special display variable display game, a decoration display game in which a plurality of characters are displayed on the effect display device 4b based on a command signal transmitted from the accessory control circuit 20 to the display control circuit 40. An effect display baseball game is performed.

  In this effect display baseball game, one unit of game can be played over a plurality of special figure variable display games (variable display game). Each time the special figure variable display game is played once, the opponent pitcher Has a baseball game configuration in which one pitch is made. , And until the stoppage of the special figure change display game, the result of play for that one pitch (for example, idling, foul, out, single hit, 2 base hit, 3 base hit, home run, etc.) will be decided It has become.

  In the effect display baseball game, one unit of game is started in a state where there is no north strike, no out, or runner, and the one unit of game is continued until three outs or scores. Then, after finishing with 3 outs or scoring, the next unit effect display baseball game is started again from the start state.

  For example, in order for a batter to be beaten by the opponent pitcher and to be 3 out, a variable display game with a special figure must be performed at least 3 times, so at least 3 times until the end of the 1 unit image effect display game. A variable display game will be played. When scoring, it may be possible to score once or twice by a home run or a triple strike, etc., so that one unit of image effect display game is terminated by one or two special display variable display games There is also. From the start to the end, a complicated game such as an effect display baseball game is played.

  The result of the effect display baseball game corresponds to the result of the special display variable display game, and when the special display variable display game is a big hit, a special image display mode in which a score is always entered is generated. It has become. On the other hand, when the variable display game of the special figure is out of play, no score is given. By such a series (one unit) of the effect display baseball game, the player is made to determine whether or not the special display variable display game is missed, and the result of the effect display baseball game is expected to have a jackpot occurrence. I have to.

  In addition, during this effect display baseball game, there is a case where a substitute is given. If a hit is made, it indicates that the possibility of a hit or a score is high at the next pitch, and by using this substitute, the conventional super reach state (a big hit in the display game of symbol matching or stop at the front and back symbols) In this case, the player has a sense of expectation for generating a jackpot, with a production more interesting than a reach state where the expectation of occurrence of a jackpot is high.

  A special game that is generated as a big hit in the special display variable display game is a cycle in which the open / close door 5a of the special variable prize-winning device 5 is opened and closed for a predetermined time (for example, 29.5 seconds), and each cycle The game is continued up to a predetermined cycle (for example, 16 cycles) on condition that the game ball is detected by the continuous switch 5d (described later) in the continuous winning area in the big winning opening 5b. However, during each cycle, when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins the big winning opening 5b, the cycle is ended at that point. During each cycle, the number of winning prizes to the big winning opening 5b is detected by the count switch 5c and stored in the RAM 21b. When the predetermined number is reached, the solenoid 5e of the special variable winning device 5 is demagnetized and the open / close door 5a is closed. And the cycle of special games ends.

  In addition, when this special game occurs in a predetermined stop symbol pattern in which a jackpot is generated, that is, a probability variation symbol (for example, a probability variation symbol such as “7”), for example, after the end of the jackpot special game, for example, after that Until the jackpot is generated twice, a probability fluctuation state is generated in which the jackpot probability and the probability of hitting the ordinary figure are high.

  Further, during this special game, a decoration display related to the effect display baseball game is performed on the effect display device 4b.

  In addition, when a big hit occurs, various electronic sounds are emitted from the speaker 34, and the decoration LEDs 11, 11,... And the decoration lamps 12, 12,.

  In FIG. 6, the flowchart of the main game control process (general flow) performed by the accessory control circuit 20 is shown.

  This control process is performed from the start to the end based on a reset signal having a predetermined period (for example, about 2 ms) created in the accessory IC 21 based on the clock signal of the frequency divider 23 in FIG. Each sequence is processed.

  This process is started by the reset signal. In step S1, it is first determined whether or not the power is on. As a result of this determination, if the power is turned on, the power-on process is performed in step S2, and the process of one sequence is finished as it is.

  However, if the power is not turned on, a switch input process described later is performed in step S3, and the process proceeds to step S4.

  In step S4, the process NO. Determined in the course of the control process by the accessory IC 21. Accordingly, a branching process for performing the corresponding process in steps S5 to S13 is performed.

  As the order of this branching process, as shown in the explanatory diagram of the flow of the control process in FIG. 7, in the routine (step S5), there is a sequence in which there is a start memory based on winning in the special drawing start ports 6 and 9d. Process NO. To high-speed fluctuation processing in normal processing. Is changed to the change start process (step S6) in the next sequence of the general flow (FIG. 6).

  In this variation start process, the process NO. And the variation process (step S7) is performed in the next sequence of the general flow. This variation process is a process of varying the display of the symbol on the variable display 4a of the special diagram at a speed that cannot be traced by the human eye through the symbol variation time (described later) set in the normal process.

  In this variation process, the variation stop process NO. The change stop process (step S8) is performed in the next sequence of the general flow (FIG. 6).

  At the end of the fluctuation stop process, the stop symbol display process (design determination process) NO. The stop symbol display process (symbol determination process) is performed in the next sequence of the general flow (FIG. 6). This stop symbol display process (symbol determination process) is a process of determining whether or not the stop symbol is a big hit symbol after performing a stop display of the symbol through the stop display time set in the variation stop process.

  In this stop symbol determination process, if the variation stop mode is out of sequence in the sequence after the set time and the stop is in the symbol pattern, the process NO. If it is a stoppage with a jackpot symbol, the fanfare process NO. And the changed process No. in the next sequence of the general flow (FIG. 9). In accordance with the above, the removal process (step S10) or the fanfare process (step S11) is performed.

  As a result, when the detachment process is performed, the process number NO. And is returned to the normal processing (step S5) in the next sequence of the general flow (FIG. 9).

  On the other hand, when the fanfare process is performed, the jackpot process NO. The jackpot processing (step S12) is performed in the next sequence.

  In this jackpot process, if it is the final round of the jackpot process, or if the continuation condition is not satisfied, the process of the jackpot end process N0. The jackpot end process (step S13) is performed in the next sequence of the general flow (FIG. 9).

  At the end of the jackpot end process, the normal process NO. To the normal processing (step S5) in the next sequence of the general flow (FIG. 9).

  By the branch processing in step 4 performed in this order, normal processing (step S5), variation start processing (step S6), variation processing (step S7), variation stop processing (step S8), stop symbol display processing ( Of the symbol determination process (step S9), the disengagement process (step S10), the fanfare process (step S11), the jackpot process (step S12), and the jackpot end process (step S13). The processing corresponding to is performed, and the process proceeds to the next step S14.

  After that, in order, a general-purpose power transmission process (step S14) related to a normal variable display game, an external information process (step S15) related to the exchange of information with the management device of the game shop and the production equipment of the island facility, and the process goes to step S16. Transition.

  In step S16, a special figure jackpot random number update process is performed in which the CPU 21a updates random numbers and the like related to the occurrence of a special figure variable display game, and the updated random numbers are stored and updated in the RAM 21b, respectively, and the process proceeds to step S17. To do.

  In step S17, the CPU 21a updates the random numbers (for example, integer values of 0 to 12) related to the occurrence of the usual variable display game, and the updated random numbers are stored and updated in the RAM 21b. The random number update process is performed and the process proceeds to step S18.

  In step S18, when the special display variable display game is a jackpot, a special figure jackpot symbol random number update process for updating a random number (for example, an integer value of 0 to 2) involved in determining the type of jackpot symbol is performed. Migrate to

  In step S19, random numbers (for example, an integer value of 0 to 24 for the left frame of the variable display 4a of the special figure and the right frame for the right frame) The random number update process for the special symbol out of symbol to update (integer value of 0 to 25) is performed, and the process proceeds to step S20.

  In step S20, a process for creating a stop symbol of the usual variable display game is performed, and the process proceeds to step S21.

  In step S21, effect pattern determination random number (1) update processing for updating a first random number (for example, an integer value of 0 to 254) related to the effect pattern determination of the image effect display game performed in the effect display device 4b is performed. Then, the process proceeds to step S21.

  In step S22, an effect pattern determining random number (2) update process for updating a second random number (for example, an integer value of 0 to 254) involved in determining the effect pattern of the image effect display game is performed, and the process proceeds to step S23. .

  Thereafter, in order, the data transfer process (step S23) related to the transfer of the control signal (command signal) from the accessory IC 21 side to the display control circuit 40, the special variable prize winning device 5 from the driver 26 side of the accessory control circuit 20, Figure start memory display 4b, 4b ..., ordinary variable display 7, universal start memory display 7a, 7a ..., normal variation winning device 9, decoration lamp 11, 11, ..., decoration LED 12, 12, ..., etc. Is output (step S23), and this sequence is terminated.

  Then, after the next reset signal is created in the accessory IC 21, the next sequence processing (processing from steps S <b> 1 to S <b> 23) is performed by the next reset signal.

  FIG. 8 shows a flowchart of a subroutine process of the SW input process performed in the general flow step S3 of FIG.

  When the SW input process is started, first, in step S30, the signal input process of the ordinary map start switch 9e, the special figure start switches 6a and 9f, the count switch 5c, the continuation switch 5d and the probability setting device 70 from the low-pass filter side. To go to step S31.

  In step S31, it is determined whether or not there is a special figure starting prize based on the input signals from the special figure starting switches 6a and 9f, and if there is, the process proceeds to step S32, and if not, the process jumps to step S37.

  In step S32, it is determined whether or not the starting memory of the special figure stored in the RAM 21b is 4 or more. If it is not 4 or more, the process proceeds to step S33, and if it is 4 or more, the process jumps to step S37.

  As a result, when the process proceeds to step S33, the process of adding “+1” to the number of special figure starting memories in the RAM 21b (step S33) and the special figure big hit random number update process of the general flow (FIG. 6) (step S16). The process of extracting the special figure jackpot random number stored in the RAM 21b (step S34), the special figure jackpot symbol random number stored in the general flow (FIG. 6) special figure jackpot symbol random number update process (step S18) from the RAM 21b. Processing for extracting (step S35), processing for storing the special figure jackpot random number and the special figure jackpot random number extracted in steps S34 and S35 in the area in the RAM 21b corresponding to the special figure starting memory added in step S33 (Step S36) is performed, and the process proceeds to Step S37.

  In other words, when winning in the special figure starting ports 6 and 9d during the special figure variable display game by these steps S31 to S36, up to four winning numbers are stored (starting storage), and the four pieces are stored. The special figure jackpot random number and the special figure jackpot symbol random number are stored in the RAM 21b in correspondence with the starting memory.

  In step S37, it is determined whether or not there is a general chart start prize based on an input signal from the general chart start switch 9e. If there is a general chart start prize, the process proceeds to step S38. The process proceeds to the next step (FIG. 6).

  In step S38, it is determined whether or not the usual starting memory stored in the RAM 21b is 4 or more. If it is not 4 or more, the process proceeds to step S39. The process proceeds to the next step (FIG. 6).

  As a result, when the process proceeds to step S39, the process of adding “+1” to the number of the general chart start memory in the RAM 21b is added (step S39), and the random number update process per general chart of the general flow (FIG. 6) (step S17). In step S40, the random number per map stored in the RAM 21b is extracted from the RAM 21b and stored in the area corresponding to the corresponding map start memory in the RAM 21b (step S40). The process proceeds to the next step (FIG. 6).

  FIG. 9 shows a flowchart of a subroutine process of a normal process performed in step S5 of the general flow of FIG.

  When this normal processing is started, it is first determined whether or not there is a special chart start memory in the RAM. If there is no special figure start memory, this subroutine is terminated and the next of the general flow (FIG. 6) is completed. The process proceeds to step S1, but if there is a special figure start memory, the process proceeds to step S51.

  In step S51, the special figure jackpot random number corresponding to the first special figure start memory and the special figure jackpot random number are extracted from the RAM 21b, and the start memory and the storage area corresponding to the start memory are cleared. Update processing (step S51) such as performing is performed, and the process proceeds to step S52.

  In step S52, it is divided into the case of the normal gaming state and the probability variation state, and in the case of the normal gaming state, the type of determination value for jackpot determination is one, and in the case of the probability variation state, it is for jackpot determination. A process for determining five types of determination values is performed, and the process proceeds to step S53.

  In step S53, the special figure jackpot random number extracted in step S51 is compared with the judgment value for jackpot determination determined in step S52 (if a plurality of types of determination values for jackpot determination are determined in step S52). Then, one judgment value is selected from the judgment values for jackpot judgment that have not been compared yet, and compared with the judgment value.) Then, it is judged whether or not the special figure jackpot random number is a jackpot value. If it is a value, the process proceeds to step S56, but if not, the process proceeds to step S54.

  In step S54, it is determined whether or not the determination process in step S53 has been performed a specified number of times (the number of types of determination values for jackpot determination determined in step S52). The process returns to S53, but if it has been performed, the process proceeds to Step S55.

  That is, by the processing of these steps S52 to S54, in the probability variation state, comparison determination between the special figure jackpot random number and the determination value for determining the big hit is performed five times (that is, comparison with five types of determination values for determining the big hit). In the other normal game state, one comparison determination (that is, a comparison determination with one type of determination value for jackpot determination) is performed. Thereby, the occurrence probability of the jackpot is changed between the probability variation state and the normal probability state. It should be noted that the number of executions of this determination process and the jackpot occurrence probability of each type of jackpot determination value can be changed as appropriate in accordance with the jackpot occurrence probability in the probability variation state and the normal probability state.

  As a result of the determination process in step S53, when the process proceeds to step S56, it is extracted in step S35 of the SW input process (FIG. 8) in the variable display 4a of the special figure in the output process (step S24) of the general flow (FIG. 6). The corresponding jackpot symbol data is stored in the RAM 21b so that the symbol display signal corresponding to the special symbol jackpot symbol random number is output when the fluctuation is stopped, and the process proceeds to step S57.

  On the other hand, as a result of the determination process in steps S53 and S54, when the process proceeds to step S55, the special symbol random number stored in the RAM 21b in the special symbol random number update process (step S19) in the general flow (FIG. 6). And the symbol display signal corresponding to the off-special symbol random number is displayed on the variable indicator 4a of the special diagram in the output process (step S24) of the general flow (FIG. 6). The off symbol data is stored in the RAM 21b, and the process proceeds to step S57.

  Then, after performing the subroutine process of the effect pattern determination process in step S57, the process of the next sequence of the general flow (FIG. 6) is changed to the high-speed fluctuation process (fluctuation start process, step S6) in step S58. Process NO. Change to Then, the subroutine processing is terminated, and the process proceeds to step S14 in the general flow (FIG. 6).

  FIG. 10 shows a flowchart of a subroutine process of the effect pattern determination process performed in step S57 of the normal process of FIG.

  This effect pattern determination process will be described with reference to the diagrams showing the distribution contents such as the effect patterns and the hitting ball directions in FIGS.

  Among these, FIG. 11 is a distribution chart of the effect pattern when the special display variable display game is out, FIG. 12 is a distribution pattern of the effect pattern when the special display variable display game is won, and FIG. FIG. 14 is a distribution chart in the batting direction when the variable display game is out, and FIG. 14 is a distribution chart in the batting direction when the special display variable display game is won.

  When the effect pattern determination process is started, first, in step S61, the stop symbol of the special figure is determined based on the stop symbol data stored in steps S55 and S56 of the normal process (FIG. 9), and the process proceeds to step S62.

  In step S62, when the stop symbol is out, for example, a removal effect pattern distribution table as shown in FIG. 11 is selected, and in the case of a big hit, a big hit effect pattern distribution table as shown in FIG. Migrate to

  Here, the off-direction production pattern distribution table is compared with random number values according to each runner information (e.g., no runner, 8 runners, 2 runners, ~, runner full), and each runner information. It consists of a judgment value (for example, an integer value from 0 to 254) and an effect pattern for removal (for example, idling, foul, out, hit,...) Corresponding to the judgment value. A production pattern for deviating from the numerical value can be determined. By the way, this production pattern is combined with the runner information and does not score.

  In the example of the off-direction production pattern sorting table shown in FIG. 11, each runner information is “no runner”, “runner 1”, “runner 2”, “runner 1, 2”, “runner 3”, “ As shown in the row of the “RUNNER” section, such as “Runner 1, 3”, “Runner 2, 3”, and “Runner full”. Each jackpot effect pattern corresponding to the judgment value is as shown in the column of “decoration pattern” such as “empty swing”, “foul”,..., “Outfield error”. The determination values that are compared with random numbers according to the runner information and determine the effect pattern are as shown in the intersecting columns of the runner information columns and the effect pattern rows.

  Note that the type and content of the off-stage production pattern can be variously changed. Moreover, the distribution ratio of the off-stage production pattern can be changed as appropriate so that no score is entered.

  In addition, the jackpot performance pattern distribution table is for each runner information, a judgment value (for example, an integer value of 0 to 254) to be compared with a random value according to the runner information, and a jackpot for the jackpot corresponding to the judgment value. A production pattern (for example, home run, 3 strikes, Uchino Goro / Home Safe,..., Etc.) is formed, and a production pattern for jackpots can be determined from runner information and random number values. By the way, this production pattern is combined with the runner information to get a score.

  In the jackpot effect pattern distribution table of the example shown in FIG. 12, each runner information is as shown in the row of the “RUNNER” item, and each jackpot effect pattern corresponding to the judgment value is “home run”, “3” As shown in the column of “Decoration Patterns” such as “Strike”, “Double Strike”, “Hit (1)”, “Hit Cross Spray”, “Hit (2)”, “Infield Goro Home Safe”, etc. . Then, the determination value that is compared with the random value corresponding to the runner information and determines the effect pattern is as shown in the column where the column of each runner information and the row of the effect pattern intersect.

  Note that the type and content of the jackpot effect pattern can be variously changed, and the distribution ratio of the effect pattern can be changed as appropriate.

  In step S63, based on the runner information in the RAM 21b, the address where the determination value corresponding to the runner information is written is extracted from the distribution table (table) selected in step S62, and the process proceeds to step S64.

  In step S64, the effect pattern determination random number (1) stored in step S21 of the general flow (FIG. 6) is extracted, and the effect pattern determination random number (1) and the determination value in the address extracted in step S63. And the process of determining the effect pattern of the determination value included in the effect pattern determination random number (1) is performed, and the process proceeds to step S65.

  That is, by these steps S61 to S64, a play effect pattern for one pitch in the effect display baseball game is selected from a large number corresponding to the result of the special figure change display game, runner information, and the like. An effect display baseball game performed over a plurality of special figure variation display games can be developed in a complex manner.

  In step S65, it is determined whether or not the effect pattern determined in step S64 is infield goro. If it is not infield goro, the process proceeds to step S66, and if it is infield goro, the process jumps to step S72.

  In step S66, it is determined whether or not the effect pattern is a big hit pattern. If it is not a big hit pattern, the process proceeds to step S67, and if it is a big hit pattern, the process jumps to step S69.

  In step S67, it is determined whether or not the production pattern is a two-stroke, and if it is not a two-stroke, the process proceeds to step S68, and if it is a two-stroke, the process jumps to step S69.

  In step S68, it is determined whether or not the production pattern is a 3-stroke, and if it is a 3-stroke, the process proceeds to step S69.

  In step S69, it is determined whether or not the strike count is “0” based on the count information stored in the RAM 21b. If “0”, the process proceeds to step S70. If not “0”, the process proceeds to step S72. Jump.

  In step S70, it is determined whether or not the lower 2 bits of the refresh register in the CPU 21a used for the arithmetic processing are “0”. Here, the refresh register is a register used for most of the arithmetic processing of the CPU 21a, and the lower-order bit content of the refresh register changes almost like a random number. If the lower 2 bits of the refresh register are “0”, a substitution is set for the effect pattern in step S71 and the process proceeds to step S72. If not “0”, the process proceeds to step S72.

  That is, by the processing of these steps S65 to S71, when the production pattern is a big hit (scoring) pattern, 2 hits or 3 hits, and the strike count is “0”, it is processed so that the substitute hits at a rate of 20%. . This condition and ratio can be changed as appropriate.

  In step S72, the effect pattern determining random number (2) sequentially updated and stored in step S22 of the general flow (FIG. 6) is extracted at this timing, and the value of the effect pattern determining random number (2) is used to determine the step S64. The hitting direction number corresponding to the effect pattern determined in is determined, and the process proceeds to step S73.

  The hitting direction number corresponding to the effect pattern is determined based on, for example, a hitting direction distribution table. This hitting direction distribution table is a determination value (for example, an integer value of 0 to 254) that is compared with each of the effect patterns determined in step S64 and the extracted random number value of the effect pattern determination random number (2) according to the effect pattern. ) And the striking direction number (for example, “0” to “9”, etc.) corresponding to the determination value, etc., and the randomness (2) for extracting the effect pattern and the effect pattern determining random number (2) determined in step S64 The hitting direction number can be determined by the numerical value.

  For example, in the hitting direction sorting table of the example shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the production patterns are “empty”, “foul” to “outfield error” production patterns, “home run”, “three-stroke” As shown in the row of the “decoration pattern” section, such as the jackpot effect pattern of “Infield Goro Home Safe”. Each hitting direction number corresponding to the determination value is as shown in the “hitting direction” column such as “0” to “9”. The determination value for determining the hitting direction number compared with the random value according to the effect pattern is as shown in the column where the column of each effect pattern and the row of the hitting direction number intersect.

  Then, the effect pattern (information) determined in step S64 and step S72 and the hitting ball direction number are transmitted to the display control circuit 40. In the display control circuit 40, the decoration pattern and the hit ball direction number are stored in the control ROM 41a. Is read out. As for the direction of the hitting ball, “missing”, “first (direction)”, “third (direction)” in the charts of FIGS. 13 and 14, “left (small)” flying small in the left direction, and flying greatly in the left direction “Left (Large)”, “Left (Fixed position)” flying to the left fixed position, “Fast (Error)” flying in the first direction, “Left line (direction)”, “Left middle ( Direction) ”,“ Right middle (direction) ”,...

  Note that the type and distribution ratio of the hitting direction can be changed as appropriate.

  In step S73, the symbol variation time is determined according to the hitting direction determined in step S72, and this subroutine is terminated and the routine proceeds to the next processing (FIG. 9). Depending on the symbol variation time, the end of one play of the image effect display game on the effect display device 4b corresponds to the stop of the special symbol variable display game.

  FIG. 15 shows a flowchart of the subroutine process of the change stop process performed in step S8 of the general flow (FIG. 6).

  When the fluctuation stop process is started, first, in step S80, a predetermined stop pattern is displayed in order to display the predetermined stop pattern on the variable display 4a of the special figure in the output process (step S24) of the general flow (FIG. 6). Is set in the RAM 21b, and the process proceeds to step S81. This predetermined stop symbol is the symbol stored in the RAM 21b in steps S55 and S56 of the normal processing in FIG.

  In step S81, the time (sequence number) for performing the stop symbol display process of the general flow (FIG. 6) is set to the normal time (normal number), and the process proceeds to step S82.

  In step S82, it is determined whether the performance pattern is idling or fouling. If it is not idling or fouling, the strike count in the RAM 21b is cleared in step S83 and the process proceeds to step S84. If so, in step S90, “+1” is added to the strike count in the RAM 21b, and the process proceeds to step S91.

  As a result, when the process proceeds to step S91, it is determined in step S91 whether or not the strike count in the RAM 21b is "3". If "3", the process proceeds to step S92. If not "3", the process proceeds to step S94. Transition.

  Of these steps S92 and S94, it is determined in step S92 whether or not the effect pattern is idle. If it is idle, the process jumps to step S85 to shift to the out-count process. For example, after setting the strike count in the RAM 21b to “2” in step S93, the process proceeds to step S96 to update the runner information (in the case of this foul, the original runner information is re-stored).

  In step S94, it is determined whether or not the effect pattern is idle, and if it is idle, the execution time (execution sequence number) of the general symbol (FIG. 6) stop symbol display process is set to the idle time (number of times of idle swing). After the setting, the process proceeds to step S96 to update the runner information (in the case of this idling, the original runner information is stored again), but if not idling, the process proceeds to step S96 as it is.

  On the other hand, when the determination process in step S82 is shifted to steps S83 and S84, it is determined in step S84 whether or not the effect pattern is an out pattern. If it is out, the process shifts to step S85 to shift to the out count process. However, if it is not out, the process proceeds to step S96 to update the runner information (update the runner information according to each hit).

  Thereafter, in order, a process of adding “+1” to the outcount in the RAM 21b (step S85) and a process of determining whether or not the outcount in the RAM 21b is “3” (step S86) are performed. As a result of the determination, if the outcount is not “3”, the process proceeds to step S96 in order to update the runner information (restore the original runner information). The process of clearing the outcount (step S87) and the process of clearing the runner information in the RAM 21b (step S88) are performed, and the process proceeds to step S89.

  In step S96, the runner information in the RAM 21b is updated according to the production pattern (if the foul, idling, 1 out and 2 out, the original runner information is re-stored, and if it is a hit, the runner information is updated according to each hit) To go to step S89.

  In step S89, in order to make the next process of the general flow (FIG. 6) a stop symbol display process, the stop symbol display process NO. Change to Then, this subroutine is terminated, and the process proceeds to step S14 in the general flow (FIG. 6).

  In other words, the subroutine processing of the fluctuation stop process updates the strike count and runner information according to the production pattern, and also displays the image production display game and the special figure in the case where the special figure fluctuation display game is continuously performed. In order to match the timing with the variation display game, the variation stop time of the special figure variation display game is set according to the effect pattern.

  FIG. 16 shows a mode configuration chart representing a data configuration transferred from the accessory control circuit 20 to the display control circuit 40.

  The mode configuration chart will be described with reference to FIGS. 17A to 17C and FIGS. 18A and 18B.

  FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 show the details of the data contents in the mode configuration chart. FIG. 17A shows the data configuration chart of “mode” * 1, and FIG. 17B shows “sub mode (1)”. * 2 data structure chart, FIG. 17 (c) is “sub mode (2)” * 3 data structure chart, FIG. 18 (a) is “sub mode (3)” * 4 data structure chart, FIG. b) is a data structure chart of “sub mode (4)” * 5.

  This mode configuration chart shows the configuration of mode data (included in the command signal) transmitted from the accessory IC 21 to the display control circuit 40 in the data transfer process (step S23) of the general flow (FIG. 6). Has been.

  The mode data is composed of seven data items, and the configuration is changed according to each gaming state.

  Each of these gaming states includes normal processing in normal probability state (low probability), variation start processing, variation processing, variable stop processing and stop symbol display processing, and normal variation probability state (high probability) As shown in the column of “gaming state” in the chart, such as during processing, variation start processing, variation processing, variation stop processing, and stop symbol display processing.

  Here, “interval” in the chart is the state between each special game cycle, “before passing the big hit specific area” is the state before winning the game ball to the continuous winning area in each special game cycle, “big hit specific” `` After passing the area '' is the state after the winning of the game ball in the continuous winning area during each special game cycle, `` call-in display '' is the state that the special display variable display game or image effect display game is not performed for a long time, etc. The state for customer visits, “illegal display” is a state where fraud is being performed, and “test display” is a state when testing a pachinko gaming machine.

  In addition, the data items of the mode data configured according to each gaming state are as shown in the row of “data item” in the chart, such as “data (1)” to “data (7)”.

  For example, when the game state is a normal process with the normal probability state, the data items from “data (1)” to “data (7)” are data “DC (Don't Care) unrelated to display control. ) ”,“ Submode (2) ”* 3 data indicating the hitting ball base information and strike count information of the effect display baseball game,“ submode (3) ”* 4 indicating the runner information and out information of the effect display baseball game Data, “Mode” * 1 data indicating the game state, “DC (Don't Care)” unrelated to display control, “Number of probability fluctuations” information and “Submode (4)” indicating information related to audio output "* 5" data and "Checksum" * 6 data. The contents of each data item of the mode data corresponding to each other game state are as shown in the row of each game state.

  Note that the “mode” * 1 data in the chart is bit data in which each gaming state is numbered to indicate a gaming state as shown in FIG. 17A (for example, “ “Normal processing at normal probability” to “Stop symbol display processing at normal probability” are “01H (hexadecimal notation)” to “05H”, “Normal processing at probability variation” to “Stop symbol display at probability variation”, respectively "Process" is "21H" to "25H", "Fanfare process" to "illegal display process" is "10H" to "16H", "Test display process" is "1AH", etc.) State information (for example, “0” in the normal probability state (low probability), “1” in the probability variation state (high probability), etc.) is written. Thus, by roughly classifying the gaming state (in this case, the normal probability state and the probability variation state) with predetermined bit data, it is possible to determine the rough gaming state classification only by examining the bit data.

  In addition, the data of “submode (1)” * 2 in the chart is 6-bit data indicating the effect pattern information of the effect display baseball game, and as shown in FIG. Production pattern numbers (for example, “0” to “8” for the jackpot production patterns “empty” to “outfield error” in the decoration pattern sorting tables of FIGS. 11 and 12, respectively, and the production patterns “home run” to “infield goro” “16” to “22”, etc.) are written in “Home Safe”, and in addition, substitute information (for example, “1” for substitute and “0” for no substitute) is written in 1 bit. .

  Further, the data of “submode (2)” * 3 in the chart is 6-bit data indicating the hitting ball information and strike information of the effect display baseball game, and as shown in FIG. The data of the hitting direction (for example, “0” to “9” when the hitting direction is “0” to “9” in the hitting direction sorting chart of FIG. 13), respectively, in FIG. 13) is written in the bits, and the strike count information is written in the remaining 2 bits. (For example, “0” to “3” at 0 to 3 strikes) is written.

  Also, “submode (3)” * 4 in the chart is 6-bit data indicating runner information and out information, and as shown in FIG. 18A, outcount information (for example, 2 bits) 0 to 3 out, “0” to “3”) are written, and the remaining 3 bits are information indicating whether there are 1 runner, 2 runners, and 3 runners (for example, “no runner” "0" and "1") if written, respectively.

  Also, “submode (4)” * 5 in the chart is 6-bit data indicating high probability count information and sound information, and as shown in FIG. The remaining number of times (the number of jackpot occurrences in which the probability variation state is continued, for example, “0” to “2” when 0 to 2 times, “3” when invalid) is written. Based on this data, the effect display device 4b displays “Chance!” When the number of times the continuation of the probability variation state is 1 or 2, and the display of “1 time high batting rate” or “2 times high batting rate”. Done. In the remaining 3 bits, there is no sound for lending a ball, there is no sound for winning the special start port 6, 9d, and there is no sound for opening the normally variable winning device 9 (for example, when there is no output) “0” and “1” when there is an output are written respectively. Based on this data, the display control circuit 40 determines whether or not to perform audio output from the ball lending speaker (audio output by the sound generator 45 and the amplifier 46).

  “Checksum” * 6 in the chart is for checking whether or not the data sent from the accessory IC 21 to the display control circuit 40 is correct. Data from (1) to data (6) The addition result is inverted, and the lower 6 bits of the inverted data are written.

  In the chart, “Number of Cycles” means the number of special bonus game cycles, “Count” means the number of winning prizes in the big prize opening 5b in each special bonus game cycle, “Test Item” and “Test Data” are This data is used for testing pachinko machines.

  Then, the mode data having the above configuration is sent from the accessory IC 21 to the display control circuit 40 according to each gaming state, and the display control circuit 40 controls the display of the effect display device 4b based on the mode data. This is done as follows.

  FIG. 19 shows a flowchart of the control processing procedure (general flow of display control) of the display control processing of the variable display device 4 of the special figure performed by the display control circuit 40.

  When the display control process of the special display variable display device 4 is started, first, in steps R1 to R3, the RAM of the display control circuit 40, the I / O registers, and the registers in the system are set in order. Then, the process proceeds to step R4.

  In step R4, it is determined whether or not the V sync (SYNC) flag of the display CPU 41 is on. If not, step R4 is repeated again. If there is, branch processing for each mode (step R5) is performed, and the process proceeds to step R6. .

  This mode-by-mode branching process is based on command data (including mode data) sent from the accessory IC 21 and the display data and display control program written in the control ROM 41a of the display control circuit 40. This is a process of selecting and creating image data by the display data or the display control program.

  That is, display image data of the effect display baseball game performed by the effect display device 4b is created by the process of step R5.

  After that, frame information processing (information processing such as whether or not the frame of the glass plate covering the gaming area 3 of the pachinko gaming machine is open, whether or not the ball is replenished, whether or not the ball tray is clogged) (step R7) To return to step R4.

  FIG. 20 shows a flowchart of an interrupt process performed based on an interrupt signal entered when the general flow of display control in FIG. 19 is performed.

  This interruption process is based on an interruption signal (such as an image timing signal from the effect display device 4b or a strobe signal from the accessory IC 21) entered when the general flow of display control (FIG. 19) is performed. Done.

  When this interrupt process is started, the interrupt disable process and the register save process are sequentially performed in steps R10 and R11, and then the process proceeds to step R12.

  In step R12, it is determined whether or not a communication interrupt is generated by a reset signal from the accessory IC 21, and if it is not a communication interrupt, the process proceeds to step R14, but if it is a communication interrupt, it is transmitted from the accessory IC 21 in step R13. Processing for receiving a command signal (including mode data) in accordance with the timing of the strobe signal is performed, and the process jumps to step R18.

  In step R14, it is determined whether or not the V sync (SYNC) interruption is caused by the image timing signal from the effect display device 4b. If not, the process jumps to step R18 as it is. If so, the general flow of the display control in FIG. The image data determined in step R5 is transferred to the VDP 42 to output an image display signal to the effect display device 4b (step R15), and the V sink (SYNC) interrupt flag in the display CPU 41 is set (step R16). ), Frame signal processing (step R17) is performed, and then the process proceeds to step R18.

  When the process proceeds to step R18, a register return process (step R18) and an interrupt permission process (step R19) are performed in step R18, and the process returns to the original process of the general flow of display control in FIG.

  Thus, based on the image data transferred from the display control circuit 40, the following effect display baseball game or the like is displayed on the effect display device 4b.

  21 to 25 show examples of image diagrams of the effect display baseball game as the image effect display game.

  FIG. 21 shows an image accompanying the start of the special variation display game as an example of the image display of the effect display baseball game. (A) is an image diagram of the start of the one unit effect display baseball game, and (b) is the pitcher. The image figure which showed the play preparation state before the start of pitching, (c) is the image figure of the state where the substitution hit as a special state.

  FIG. 22 shows, as an example of an image diagram of the effect display baseball game, the correspondence of the batter to pitching by the pitcher. (A) is a display image when the batter is swung, (b) and (c) are batters. It is a series of display image diagrams in a state where is hit.

  FIG. 23 and FIG. 24 show the state of play decision after the batter hits as an example of the image display of the effect display baseball game. FIG. 23 (a) is an image of the foul state, FIG. 23 (b). ) Is an image diagram in a safe state by determination, FIG. 23 (c) is an image diagram in a single hit state, FIG. 24 (a) is an image diagram in a two-base hit state, and FIG. 24 (b). FIG. 24 is an image diagram in a state where a 3-base hit is reached, and FIG. 24C is an image diagram in a state where a home run is achieved.

  FIG. 25 shows an example of an image diagram before and after the end of one unit of the effect display baseball game. FIG. 25A is an image diagram showing a state where the one unit of the effect display baseball game is completed after 3 outs. ) Is an image diagram that is displayed during the jackpot game when a big hit is made with a point, and (c) is an image diagram that is displayed at the end of the jackpot.

  For example, when an effect display baseball game of one unit is started based on the special display variable display game based on the start memory of the special figure, first, as a start screen of the effect display baseball game, as shown in FIG. In addition, a background (for example, a back screen of a baseball field) that informs the start of the effect display baseball game, and a message (for example, “a big hit if one point is entered”) that indicates the start of the effect display baseball game, the general rules, etc. are displayed. After that, as shown in FIG. 21B, a play preparation screen is displayed in which the pitcher and the batter are ready to play each other.

  On this play preparation screen and a screen during play, which will be described later, a runner information display indicating runners appearing in the basket and a count information display indicating the count of strikes, balls and outs are also performed. In the display of the four heels of this runner information display, when the runner comes out, the helmet display is displayed on the corresponding heel, and if a dot enters, it will be a big hit, for example, a letter of “this” It is displayed near the main shrine.

  Then, based on one execution of the special display variable display game, the pitcher performs one pitch in the effect display baseball game, and the batter swings the bat to the pitch, and the corresponding image is displayed. .

  In addition, in the case of the above-described substitution pattern production pattern informing that the possibility of scoring is high in the next pitch (that is, there is a high probability of winning in the variable display game of this special figure), the variable display of the special figure is displayed. For example, as shown in FIG. 21 (c), a “sampling” is displayed and an image display in which a surrogate batter appears is displayed, for example, as shown in FIG. . As a result, the player is given the expectation that a big hit will occur.

  After one pitcher's pitch, as shown in FIG. 22 (a), according to the effect pattern determined in the general flow (FIG. 6), the image to be missed, FIG. 22 (b), (c) As shown in FIG. 5, an image of hitting a ball is displayed. If the player misses, the strike count is incremented by 1 according to the actual baseball rule, and then the screen returns to the play preparation screen in which the pitcher and the batter are ready to play each other. However, when it is 3 out, the screen returns to the end screen (described later) of the effect display baseball game. In addition, the fluctuation display of the special figure is stopped almost at the same time (slightly after) as the idling and is stopped at the symbol.

  On the other hand, when a ball is hit, according to the effect pattern and the hitting direction determined in the general flow (FIG. 6), a play image display such as a hitting ball, a defense against the hitting ball and a batter runner is performed.

  And when the result of the play is decided, for example, when it becomes a foul, when it becomes safe by judgment from infield goro, when it becomes out, when it becomes a single hit, when it becomes a 2 base hit, or 3 base hit 23 (a) to FIG. 24 (b), for example, to indicate the state of the play, for example, the image display of the hit ball, the defense against the hit ball, the batter runner on the base, and the like For example, "Foul!", "Safe!", "Hit!", "2 Base Hit!", "3 Base Hit!" Almost at the same time.

  Then, the strike count and the outcount are added according to the actual baseball rules, and runners are advanced as in a general baseball game, and the count information display and runner information display associated therewith are updated.

  Then, again, the pitcher and the batter return to the play preparation screen where they are ready to play, and wait for the execution of the next special variation display game. However, when it is 3 out and when a score is given, the screen is shifted to an end screen or a jackpot decoration screen.

  In the case of a home run, as shown in FIG. 24 (c), a background such as a back screen or a message such as "Home run!" Is displayed almost at the same time.

  In the case of 3 outs and a one-unit effect display baseball game is ended, as shown in FIG. 25 (a), for example, a message display such as “3 out change” is displayed, and then the next The screen shifts to a screen waiting for the start of the next one-unit effect display baseball game based on the execution of the variable display game of the special figure.

  In addition, when a big hit is made with a point, as shown in FIG. 25 (b) during the jackpot game (special game), the number of rounds (cycles) of the special game or the winning prize 5b is won. In addition to displaying the count number, decoration display related to the effect display baseball game, for example, image display such as batter introduction related to the baseball game is performed.

  When the jackpot is generated with a probable variation symbol, a symbolic decoration display related to the effect display baseball game, for example, a baseball ball mark and “CHANCE!” Is displayed to notify that a probability variation state occurs.

  In addition, at the end of the special game when the jackpot is generated with a probable change symbol, as shown in FIG. 25 (c), a decorative display related to the effect display baseball game, for example, an announcer, which informs that a probability variation state will occur. The display of the baseball news scene where there is or “next is a high-probability game”, which is similar to the baseball news, is displayed. At this time, the symbolic decorative display for notifying the occurrence of the probability variation state is also displayed continuously from the occurrence of the jackpot.

  Since the decorative display during these jackpot special games is related to the production display baseball game, a series of display is performed during the special display variable display game and during the jackpot special game, and during the jackpot special game However, following the special display variable display game, it has become interesting.

  Further, during the jackpot special game when the jackpot is generated with the probability variation symbol, the symbolic decoration display that notifies that the probability variation state occurs is continuously performed in a certain form, for example, the jackpot special Even if the contents of the decoration display during the game are rich in change, the symbolic decoration display is not buried in the change-rich decoration display, and the probability variation state is surely generated. It can be communicated to players.

  The correspondence between the display timing of the above-described effect display baseball game performed on the effect display device 4b and the timing of the special figure variable display game performed on the special display variable display 4a will be described in detail below.

  FIG. 26 shows a timing chart of a special display variable display game and an image effect display game in the case of detachment.

  This timing chart shows the timing of display variation and stop display of special figure variation display games when there are 3 outs (out) in one unit image effect display game, and multiple times of special figure variation display games. The correspondence relationship with the timing of one unit of image effect display game performed based on this is shown.

  Note that the special display variation display game starts and stops the variation of two symbols simultaneously.

  First, as shown in FIG. 26, when the special display variable display game is started by the special display variable display 4a in a state where the effect display baseball game is not executed or finished, it is almost the same as the start thereof. At the same time, the effect display baseball game is started on the effect display device 4b. At the start of the production display baseball game, there is no north strike, no out, or runner. In addition, at the start of this, an effect pattern (including a hitting ball direction and a substitute hitting effect. In the example shown, a single hit effect pattern, etc.) and an effect pattern (a hitting ball direction and a hitting hit) are included. The display time of the special drawing corresponding to the production is also determined.

  Through the variable display time, the variable display 4a of the special figure displays the variable of the symbol, while in the effect display baseball game of the effect display device 4b, one pitch based on the effect pattern and play for the one ball are performed. Done. Then, the result of the play (single hit in the illustrated example) is determined almost simultaneously (slightly before) when the special figure is stopped (symbol determination).

  At the time of special figure fluctuation stop, the special figure fluctuation stop time based on the production pattern (single hit in the illustrated example) is determined. This fluctuation stop time is an effect display baseball game according to an effect pattern between two consecutive special figure fluctuation display games when a special figure fluctuation display game is continuously performed based on the start memory of the special figure. It is provided for performing the image display.

  Through this variable stop time, the stop symbol is stopped and displayed on the special display variable display 4a, while in the effect display baseball game of the effect display device 4b, the next pitching preparation state is displayed from the display screen of the previous one-play confirmation. The display is shifted to the display screen. And it waits for the start of the next special figure fluctuation display game. In addition, after the stop display of the variable stop time, when there is no special figure start memory, the stop display is continued until the next winning is made to the special figure start ports 6 and 9d.

  Also, if there is no special figure start memory or winning in the special figure start opening 6, 9d for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds), the state of the effect display baseball game is cleared and the next special figure start opening 6, An effect display baseball game based on winning in 9d may be started from the initial state.

  In the middle of a one-unit production display baseball game, a special figure variable display game is started by the variable display 4a of the special figure based on the next winning to the special figure starting ports 6 and 9d or the special figure starting memory. Then, the continued game is started in the effect display baseball game of the effect display device 4b. This subsequent game is performed in the state after the previous play (for example, the strike count, the outcount and the runner state after the previous play, in the illustrated example, 1 North Strike No Out Runner). In addition, at the start of the special figure variation display game, an effect pattern (including a hitting ball direction and a substitute effect, etc. in the illustrated example, an out effect pattern, etc.) based on the result of the special figure variation display game and the runner information, and the effect pattern The special display variable display time is determined based on (including the hitting ball direction and substitute hitting effect).

  Through the fluctuation display time, the variable display 4a of the special figure displays the fluctuation of the symbol, while the effect display baseball game of the effect display device 4b performs one pitch based on the effect pattern and play for the pitch. Is called.

  After that, the result of the baseball game play (1 out runner 1 ア ウ ト in the example shown) is confirmed almost simultaneously (slightly before) with the change stop (design determination) of the special figure change display game, and the change of the special figure is stopped. Sometimes, the special figure fluctuation stop time based on the production pattern is determined.

  Thereafter, the process is repeated in the same manner except for the case where the score is 3 or out.

  For example, in the illustrated example, during the third variable display game on the special display variable display 4a from the start of the effect display baseball game, the next one play is performed in the effect display baseball game on the effect display device 4b. In the special display variable display 4a, the out is confirmed in the effect display baseball game of the effect display device 4b almost at the same time (slightly later) as the stoppage of the change in the out symbol, and the number of outrunners is 1 out of 2 runners. Subsequently, during the 4th special figure variation display game, one play is continued in the production display baseball game, and the production display baseball game is out almost at the same time (slightly later) as the special figure fluctuation stops at the outage. It is confirmed and it is 3 outs.

  When there are 3 outs in the effect display baseball game, the one unit effect display baseball game is finished, and the next effect display baseball game is started again from the state of no north strike, no out runner. In addition, during the period when the variable display game of the next special figure is started after 3 outs are confirmed (during the stop display time based on the effect pattern), it indicates that one unit of the effect display baseball game has ended. An effect display such as a change (offense and defense change) operation by a character is performed on the effect display device 4b.

  Then, after waiting for the start of the next special figure variable display game, the effect display baseball game of the next unit is started again on the effect display device 4b based on the start of the variable display game of the next special figure.

  That is, the timing of the start and stop of the change of the variable display game performed by the variable display 4a of the special figure and the timing of the start of one play and the confirmation of one play of the effect display baseball game performed by the effect display device 4b Thus, the start and stop results of the special figure variable display game are made to be recognized by the player through the image display of the effect display baseball game.

  FIG. 27 shows a timing chart of a special display variable display game and an image effect display game in the case of a big hit.

  This timing chart is based on the display variation and stop display timings of a special figure variable display game and a plurality of special figure variable display games in a case where a score (bonus) is obtained in one unit image effect display game. The correspondence relationship with the timing of one unit image effect display game to be performed is shown.

  In the case where a score (bonus) is obtained in an image effect display game of one unit, a special display variable display game and an effect display baseball game based on the special display variable display game are performed in the same manner as in the case of the above-described loss. To go.

  For example, in the illustrated example, the variable display 4a of the special figure starts the first variable display game of the special figure, and at the same time, the production display baseball game of one unit is started by the effect display device 4b. In the production display baseball game during the fluctuation display, one pitch and one play for that pitch (progress pattern for losing) are performed, and then almost simultaneously with the stop of the special figure fluctuation display game in the out symbol (a little later) In the production display baseball game, the single hit is confirmed and the state is shifted to the state of 1 runner.

  Subsequently, based on the variation display game of the second special figure, one pitching and one play for the pitching (progress pattern for losing) is performed in the production display baseball game, and the special figure variation display game is missed. A single hit is confirmed in the effect display baseball game almost at the same time (slightly after) as the stoppage of the symbol, and the state shifts to the state of runners 1 and 2.

  Subsequently, based on the third special figure variable display game, one pitch and one play (progress pattern for losing) are performed in the effect display baseball game, and the special figure variable display game is missed. Almost at the same time (slightly later) as the stoppage of the symbol, the baseball game becomes a single hit and the runner is full.

  When the special figure jackpot random number is a jackpot value in a special figure fluctuation display game that is performed at the start or in the middle of the effect display baseball game (in the illustrated example, regarding the fourth fluctuation display game), the special figure fluctuation display At the start of the game, a jackpot result based on the special figure variation display game and runner information, and a special chart variable display time based on the performance pattern are determined.

  Then, through the variable display time, the special figure variable display 4a performs variable display of the special figure, while in the effect display baseball game of the effect display device 4b, one pitch based on the jackpot effect pattern and play for the pitch After a hit (in the illustrated example), a score (runner home-in) is achieved in the effect display baseball game almost simultaneously (slightly before) with the stoppage of the special figure fluctuation display game.

  After that, a special gaming state occurs, and the special symbol variable display 4a continues to display the jackpot symbol on the stop, while the effect display device 4b displays the jackpot effect.

  That is, in the variable display game of the special display variable display 4a, the timing is taken so that a score is entered in the effect display baseball game of the effect display device 4b almost simultaneously with the change stop (symbol determination) with the jackpot symbol. As a result, the player is made aware of the occurrence of the jackpot on the scoring screen in the effect display baseball game.

  As described above, according to the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment, a unit display effect baseball game in the effect display device 4b is based on a plurality of special figure variable display games in the special indicator variable display 4a. Since it is performed, one image display baseball game can be performed over a plurality of times of special figure variable display games. Therefore, from the start to the end of the production display baseball game, the production display baseball game can be produced in a complicated manner, and the game has an unprecedented novel game content, an unexpected game content, and an interesting game. It is a content. Then, such an effect display baseball game (image effect display game) can be enjoyed by the player for a long time.

  In addition, since the effect display baseball game is performed by the operation display of the baseball player character, etc., it is a particularly complicated game development, and the game content is more innovative and surprising.

  Further, when the stop display mode in the special display variable display 4a becomes a special stop mode and a big hit special game state occurs, a special image display mode such as scoring in the effect display baseball game occurs. The result of the variable display game and the result of the effect display baseball game are linked, so that the player can have a sense of expectation of occurrence of a big hit based on the result of the effect display baseball game. Accordingly, it is possible to give the player a sufficient sense of expectation of occurrence of a big hit for a long time by the effect display baseball game that is developed in a complicated manner and is performed for a long time.

  In addition to the pachinko gaming machines, the gaming machines include various gaming machines such as an arrangement ball gaming machine, a sparrow ball gaming machine, and a slot machine. The variable display unit includes a 2-digit 7-segment display 4a, a 3-digit 7-segment display, a part of a display unit for a liquid crystal display or a CRT display, a dot display device composed of a number of display elements, A display device having a plurality of display portions using a rotating drum may be used. The image effect display unit includes all display devices that perform image display, such as a liquid crystal display, a CRT display, and a dot display device including a large number of display elements. Furthermore, the variable display part and the image effect display part may be comprised in one display part. The special stop display mode is not limited to the same set of symbols such as “3, 3”, “5, 5”, “7, 7”, and any specific stop mode that generates a special gaming state may be used. The special game state is not limited to the opening of the attacker (big prize opening) in the first type of pachinko machine, but the state of right generation in the so-called third type of pachinko machine, or the occurrence in the slot machine A special gaming state that favors the player according to each gaming machine, such as a bonus game with a high probability, may be used. The image effect display game is not limited to the effect display baseball game, and can be changed to various display games such as a soccer game, a race game, a treasure hunt game, and a roulette game. The special image display mode is not limited to the scoring scene in the baseball game. For example, the scoring scene in the soccer game, the winning scene in the racing game, the treasure finding scene in the treasure hunt game, the winning scene in the roulette game, etc. Various display modes determined in advance corresponding to the contents of the effect display game may be used. The image effect display control means is composed of an accessory control circuit 20 for controlling the game and a display control circuit 40 for controlling the display, or may be composed of other control circuits or unique control circuits. good.

[Second Embodiment]
In the pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment, only the processing configuration relating to the effect pattern determination of the effect display baseball game is different from that of the first embodiment, and the other configurations are those of the first embodiment. Is almost the same. Therefore, the same components as those of the pachinko gaming machine according to the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted, and only different components are described.

  FIG. 28 shows a part of a flowchart of a subroutine process of the effect pattern determination process unique to the second embodiment performed in step S57 of the normal process of FIG.

  This effect pattern determination process is a part of the subroutine process performed in step S57 of the normal process.

  When the effect pattern determination process is started, first, in step J1, the stop symbol of the special figure is determined based on the stop symbol data stored in steps S55 and S56 of the normal process (FIG. 9), and the SW input process (FIG. In the storing process (step S36) of the special figure jackpot random number etc. of 8), the special figure jackpot random number and the special figure jackpot symbol random number for the starting memory stored in the RAM 21b are determined, and the process proceeds to step J2.

  In step J2, an effect pattern distribution table for determining the effect pattern is selected based on the stop symbol of the special figure determined in step J1, the special figure jackpot random number for the start memory and the random number for the special figure jackpot symbol. To step J3.

  Here, the production pattern distribution table includes, for example, a jackpot, a miss, a first start memory jackpot, a second start memory jackpot, a third start memory jackpot, and a fourth start memory jackpot.

  Of these production pattern allocation tables, when the special symbol stop symbol is a jackpot symbol, the bonus pattern production pattern allocation table is selected, the special symbol stop symbol is off, and the four start memory specials are selected. When the figure big hit random number is also an outlier, an outlier production pattern distribution table is selected.

  In addition, when the special symbol stop symbol is off and the first start memory special figure jackpot random number is a big jackpot value, the first start memory jackpot production pattern distribution table is selected, and the special figure stop symbol is When the special figure jackpot random number in the first start memory is an outlier and the special figure jackpot random number in the second start memory is a jackpot value, the effect pattern distribution table for the second start memory jackpot is selected. The

  The third start memory is stored when the stop symbol of the special figure is an out symbol, the special figure jackpot random number in the first and second start memories is also an outlier, and the special figure jackpot random number in the third start memory is the jackpot value. An effect pattern distribution table for jackpot is selected, the stop symbol of the special figure is off, and the special figure jackpot random number of the first, second and third start memories is also an outlier, and the special figure jackpot random number of the fourth start memory is When the jackpot value, the fourth start memory jackpot effect pattern distribution table is selected.

  Each of the performance pattern distribution tables is compared with each runner information (for example, eight patterns of “no runner” to “full” in the decoration pattern distribution tables in FIGS. 11 and 12) and random numbers corresponding to the runner information. Judgment values (for example, integer values from 0 to 254) and performance patterns (for example, idle swings, foul hits, double hits, home runs,. The production pattern can be determined by numerical values.

  Also, when the contents of the distribution of the effect pattern is a big hit in the start memory, the effect display baseball game is advantageous in the special figure change display game before the start memory (for example, a runner is given to 3 baseballs) Etc.).

  In step J3, based on the runner information in the RAM 21b, the address where the determination value corresponding to the runner information is written is extracted from the effect pattern sorting table selected in step J2, and the process proceeds to step J4.

  In step J4, the effect pattern determination random number (1) stored in step S21 of the general flow (FIG. 6) is extracted, and the effect pattern determination random number (1) and the determination value of the address taken out in step S3 Are determined to be the production pattern corresponding to the determination value included in the production pattern determination random number (1).

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S65 of the effect pattern determination process in FIG. 10, and the same process as in the first embodiment is performed.

  As described above, according to the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment, since the effect pattern of the image effect display game is determined based on the special figure jackpot random number for the start memory, for example, the start memory is a big hit In this case, in the special figure variable display game before the start memory, the effect display baseball game is in an advantageous state (for example, a state in which hits continue), and the result of the variable display game for the start memory and the image effect The game development of the display game can be related. That is, the game development of the image effect display game makes it possible to give a notice of the fluctuation display game result for the start memory, and the player has a sense of expectation of occurrence of a big hit in the start memory by the advance notice. The expectation of the person can be continued for a long time.

  The number of start-up memories in the special figure is not limited to that in this embodiment. The effect pattern of the image effect display game may be any as long as it is based on the result of the start memory.
