(First embodiment)
The first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 2 schematically shows a front appearance of a pachinko gaming machine that is a management target and a display target of game information in the present embodiment. In FIG. 2, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is configured to launch the pachinko balls in the upper plate 2 onto the board surface 4 by an electric launching device (only the operation dial is indicated by reference numeral 3). The board surface 4 includes an out port 5, a start winning port 6 provided with an electric tulip 6a, a through winning port 7 where no prize ball is paid out, a large winning port 8 provided with an electric accessory 8a called an attacker, and a symbol display device 9 And a normal winning opening (not shown) is also provided.

  The symbol display device 9 is constituted by a color liquid crystal display panel with a backlight, for example, and as schematically shown in FIG. 3, a special symbol display unit 9a, a reserved ball number display unit 9b, a normal symbol display unit 9c.

The basic operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1 configured as described above is as follows.
(1) A jackpot lottery operation with a predetermined hit probability (for example, 1/300 in the normal state and 1/50 in the probability variation state described later) according to the winning of the pachinko ball at the start winning opening 6 is executed, The number of winnings of the pachinko ball is temporarily stored as reserved ball data with a lottery result (“big hit” or “losing”) of the big hit lottery operation.

  (2) The above storage operation is performed in, for example, a FIFO format (first-in first-out format), and the stored holding ball data is digested every time the accompanying lottery result display operation is executed in the special symbol display unit 9a. Is done. This lottery result display operation is immediately executed during a period when the jackpot does not occur in the pachinko gaming machine 1 and during a period when the operation of the special symbol display unit 9a is stopped, and a period when the jackpot occurs. In the period during which the special symbol display unit 9a is in operation, the special symbol display unit 9a is executed after completion of the jackpot or when the special symbol display unit 9a stops operating. In this case, the special symbol display unit 9a is composed of a roulette made up of, for example, a three-digit number string displayed in the center of the symbol display device 9 (see FIG. 3). The symbol variation effect operation (in this embodiment, the variation display in the range of “0” to “9” of each digit of the digit string) is performed for a predetermined period, and when the lottery result is “big hit” When the symbol variation effect operation is finished, the number string is controlled to become a sloppy symbol (big win symbol) such as “111”, “222”,..., And when the lottery result is “lost” It is controlled so that the missing symbols other than the symbols are displayed at random.

  (3) When the special symbol display unit 9a displays a glistening symbol, control is performed to release the electric accessory 8a (attacker) of the special winning opening 8 for a predetermined period (multiple rounds) in a predetermined mode. Thus, a jackpot with an extremely high winning rate for the big winning opening 8 is generated.

  (4) The maximum stored number of reserved ball data, that is, the upper limit value of the number of unreserved reserved balls is configured to be limited to, for example, four, and the number of reserved balls is displayed in the reserved ball number display unit 9b. It is displayed in a known form.

  (5) An auxiliary lottery operation with a predetermined hit probability (for example, 1/10) is executed in accordance with the winning of a pachinko ball in the through winning opening 7, and the result of the auxiliary lottery operation is displayed on the normal symbol display unit 9c. The normal symbol display unit 9c is composed of a roulette composed of, for example, a two-digit number string displayed on the lower right side of the symbol display device 9, and when the lottery result is displayed, the symbol variation effect operation of the roulette is performed. (In the case of the present embodiment, the variable display in the range of “0” to “9” of each digit of the numeric string) is performed only for a predetermined period, and when the result of the auxiliary lottery operation is successful, the symbol variation effect operation At the time of ending, the number string is controlled so as to have a globular pattern (winning pattern) such as “11”, “22”,.

  (6) In the state where the regular symbol display is displayed on the normal symbol display unit 9c, the electric tulip 6a is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds in the normal state and 5 seconds in the short time state described later). Take control.

  (7) The predetermined condition referred to in the present invention is satisfied when the jackpot is completed, and the winning probability of the jackpot lottery operation is reduced from 1/300 to 1 in the normal state simultaneously with the subsequent predetermined time, for example, at the end of the jackpot. The probability variation state increased to / 50 (hereinafter referred to as probability variation: equivalent to the special state) and the time required for the display operation by the normal symbol display unit 9c is shortened from 30 seconds in the normal state to 5 seconds. A state (hereinafter referred to as a short time) is generated at the same time. In this short time state, as described above, control for extending the opening time of the electric tulip 6a from 0.5 seconds in the normal state to 5 seconds is also performed.

  (8) In the period when the probability change has occurred, every time a pachinko ball wins the start winning opening 6, a probability change falling lottery operation with a predetermined hit probability (for example, 1/100) is executed, and when this lottery is won Probability change ends, and also when jackpot reoccurs, it ends. The fact that the probability variation falling lottery operation has been won, that is, the probability variation has been completed, is not displayed on the symbol display device 9 or the like, and therefore the player cannot directly determine that the probability variation has been completed.

  (9) In the period when the shortage occurs, the number of executions of the symbol variation effect operation on the special symbol display unit 9a, that is, the number of executions of the jackpot lottery operation (hereinafter referred to as the start number) is set in advance after the end of the jackpot When the specified number of times (for example, 50) is reached, the time reduction is finished, and when the jackpot is regenerated, the time reduction is finished. As will be described later, in this embodiment, a function for notifying the occurrence of time reduction is set. However, even if such notification is not performed, a normal symbol display is displayed when the time reduction ends. Since the time required for the display operation by the unit 9c and the opening time of the electric tulip 6a are returned to the normal state, the player indirectly knows that the time reduction has ended based on the change of each time as described above. Can be determined.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 in which the basic operation as described above is set, once a jackpot is generated, the probability change and the time reduction occur simultaneously after the jackpot is completed. In this case, the time reduction always ends when a certain period of time has passed (when the number of starts after the big hit reaches 50), but the end time of the probability change depends on the result of the probability variation drop lottery operation, so these Probability and short duration durations will not match.

In other words, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, after the jackpot ends,
(A) A period in which a probability change / time reduction game state in which probability change and time reduction occurred simultaneously (hereinafter referred to as an overlapping period if necessary),
Appears and the jackpot does not reoccur during this gaming state,
(B) A period in which only a probability change has occurred and a probability change single game state is exhibited (hereinafter referred to as a first period if necessary),
(C) A period in which only a short time occurred and a short time single gaming state (hereinafter referred to as a second period if necessary),
If any of these appear and the jackpot does not reoccur during each of these periods,
(D) a period in which a normal gaming state (so-called base state) in which neither probability change nor time reduction occurs (hereinafter referred to as a normal period if necessary),
Will appear. However, although the probability is very low, there is a possibility that the probability change and the time saving will end at almost the same time. Alternatively, the short time single gaming state (C) does not substantially appear, and the normal gaming state (D) suddenly appears.

  Although not shown, the pachinko gaming machine 1 has an out signal indicating the number of out balls generated, a safe signal indicating the number of safe balls generated, a start signal indicating that the special symbol display unit 9a has started operation, a jackpot A signal generation board is provided for outputting a jackpot signal indicating that the signal has occurred, a probability variation signal indicating that the probability change has occurred, etc., and this signal generation board continuously outputs the jackpot signal during the jackpot period. The probability variation signal is continuously output during the probability variation period (periods in the probability variation / short-time gaming state (A) and the probability variation single gaming state (B)). The signal generation board is configured not to output a signal corresponding to the probability variation signal in a short time period.

  The timing chart of FIG. 6 shows an appearance example of each period (A) to (D). That is, FIG. 6 shows the occurrence timing of jackpot, probability change, and time reduction, respectively, and when the first jackpot that occurred at timing t1 in the normal gaming state (D) is completed (timing t2). Probability / short time gaming state (A) appears. When the number of starts reaches the specified number (50 times) at the timing t3 before the jackpot reoccurrence thereafter, the time reduction is terminated and the probability variation single gaming state (B) appears.

  When the second jackpot occurs at the timing t4 in the probability variation single gaming state (B), the probability variation single gaming state (B) is terminated, and when the jackpot is terminated (timing t5), the probability variation / short time gaming state is reached. (A) appears. After this, at time t6 before the big hit is re-occurred, when winning the probability variation falling lottery operation, the probability variation is terminated and the short time single gaming state (C) appears.

  At this time, when the third jackpot occurs at timing t7 in the short single gaming state (C), the short time single gaming state (C) is terminated, and when the big jackpot ends (timing t8), the probability change / short time gaming state is reached. (A) appears. After this, at time t9 before the big hit is re-occurred, when the probability variation falling lottery operation is won, the probability variation is terminated and the short time single gaming state (C) appears. Furthermore, at the timing t10 before the jackpot reoccurs, when the number of starts reaches the specified number (50 times), the time reduction is terminated and the normal gaming state (D) appears.

-Probable S: Number of start of probability change, that is, the number of start (special state continuation start) during the period in which the probability change state is substantially continued regardless of the occurrence of jackpot Number, equivalent to the number of falling lottery operations)
・ Time-short S: Number of short-time start, that is, the number of start during short-time period,
・ Sequential S: Number of short-time continuous starts, that is, the number of starts in a period in which the short-time state is substantially continued regardless of whether or not a jackpot has occurred (a period including an interruption time associated with the occurrence of a jackpot).

  Note that “*” recorded in the “Successive S” column indicates that the probability change state has been carried over to the next record, and “*” recorded in the “Successive S” column indicates a short-time state. Is carried over to the next record.

  In this case, in the jackpot history data, a record newly created when a jackpot occurs in the pachinko gaming machine 1 or when the probability variation state ends, and the BO, B size, and RS at the current time point are recorded. In addition to these records, the average value and total value relating to BO, B, RS, T1Y, Probability S, Probability S, Shorter S, Successor S are recorded. It has a configuration. However, each average value for BO, B, RS, T1Y, probability variation S, and time reduction S is a value obtained by dividing the corresponding total value by the number of jackpots (9 in the example of FIG. 13). The average value for the succession S is a value obtained by dividing the corresponding total value by the number of times of random entry (three times in the example of FIG. 13), and the average value for the succession S is the corresponding total value. It is a value divided by the number of times of entry into the short time (5 in the example of FIG. 13).

Below, the control content (FIGS. 7-12) in the management apparatus 13 regarding preparation of the said jackpot history data is demonstrated.
As shown in FIG. 7, the management device 13 is a main program comprising an out signal input processing routine R1, a safe signal input processing routine R2, a start signal input processing routine R3, a jackpot signal input processing routine R4, and a probability variation signal input processing routine R5. Is repeatedly executed.

  FIG. 8 shows the contents of the out signal input processing routine R1. In this routine R1, it is determined whether or not an out signal has been input (step A1), and in a non-input state, the routine returns. On the other hand, when the out signal is input, it is determined whether or not the big hit flag is on (step A2). The jackpot flag is turned on during a period when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a jackpot, as will be apparent from the following description.

  When the jackpot flag is on, the process returns after executing step A3 for decrementing T1Y (the number of heads that hit the jackpot), and when the jackpot flag is off, BO (out of the jackpot Number) and B (the difference ball number other than the big hit) is executed after executing step A4.

  As a result of the execution of the out signal input processing routine R1 described above, every time an out signal is input during the period when the jackpot flag is on (every time a shot ball (out) occurs in the pachinko gaming machine 1) During the period when T1Y is decremented and the jackpot flag is off, BO and B are incremented each time an out signal is input.

  FIG. 9 shows the contents of the safe signal input processing routine R2. In this routine R2, it is determined whether or not a safe signal has been input (step B1). On the other hand, when the safe signal is input, it is determined whether or not the big hit flag is on (step B2).

  If the big hit flag is on, the process returns after executing step B3 for incrementing T1Y, and if the big hit flag is off, the process returns after executing step B4 for decrementing B.

  As a result of the execution of the safe signal input processing routine R2 described above, each time a safe signal is input (every time a winning ball (safe) is generated in the pachinko gaming machine 1) during the period when the jackpot flag is on. During the period when T1Y is incremented and the jackpot / medium flag is in the OFF state, the B signal is decremented every time the safe signal is input.

  FIG. 10 shows the contents of the start signal input processing routine R3. In this routine R3, it is determined whether or not a start signal has been input (step C1). On the other hand, when a start signal is input, RS (the number of starts between each record of jackpot history data) is incremented (step C2), and it is determined whether or not the probability changing flag is on (step S2). C3). Note that the probability change flag is turned on during a period in which the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the probability change state, as will be apparent from the following description.

  When the probability changing flag is on, step C4 for incrementing the number of starts during probability variation and step C5 for incrementing the number of probability variation continuing starts (equivalent to the number of special state continuing starts) are sequentially executed, and then the time reduction / medium flag is turned on. (Step C6). This step C6 is also executed when it is determined "NO" in step C3 (when the probability changing flag is in the off state).

  If “NO” is determined in the step C6, the process returns as it is. However, if “YES” is determined, a step C7 for incrementing the short-time start number, a step C8 for incrementing the short-time continuous start number, a state determination After sequentially executing step C9 for incrementing the start number for use, it is determined whether or not the state determination start number has reached “50” (a value corresponding to the specified number of times described above) (step C10).

  If the number of state determination start number ≠ 50, the process returns as it is, but if the number of state determination start number = 50, the process returns after executing step C11 for turning off the time / middle flag. The state determination start number is an initial value (= 0 when the jackpot generated in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is completed and the hour / middle flag is turned on accordingly, as will be apparent from the following description. ).

  As a result of execution of the start signal input processing routine R3 described above, the RS is incremented every time a start signal is input (every time the roulette symbol variation effect operation is performed in the special symbol display unit 9a of the pachinko gaming machine 1). . In addition, when the probability changing flag is turned on at the time when the start signal is input, the number of starts during probability change and the number of starts with probability change are incremented. Further, when the short / medium flag is turned on at the time of input of the start signal, the short / medium start number, the short / continuous start number, and the state determination start number are incremented. In particular, in this case, when the start number for state determination reaches “50” in accordance with the increment, that is, when the number of starts after the jackpot has reached a predetermined number of times, the short / middle flag is set. Turned off.

  FIG. 11 shows the contents of the jackpot signal input processing routine R4. In this routine R4, it is determined whether or not the jackpot flag is on (step D1), and if it is off, it is determined whether or not the jackpot signal has been input (step D2). If “NO” is determined in step D2 (when the jackpot signal is not input), the process returns as it is, but when the jackpot signal is started to be input, the time at that time is set as the generation time. Step D3 to be stored, Step D4 to be stored for incrementing T1 (cumulative jackpot number) and writing to the “T1” field of the record, Step D5 to turn on the jackpot flag are sequentially executed, and the probability changing flag is on. Is determined (step D6). When the probability changing flag is off, the process proceeds to step D10 after executing step D7 for storing the initial hit count and writing it in the “status” column of the record. On the other hand, when the probability changing flag is on, step D8 is stored to write “A” in the “status” column of the record, and the probability variation continuation start number at that time is temporarily set as the pending probability variation start number. At the same time, step D9 for storing “*” for writing in the “success” S column of the record is sequentially executed, and then the process proceeds to step D10.

  In step D10, it is determined whether or not the time-short / middle flag is on. On the other hand, when the hour / middle flag is ON, the number of time-short continuous starts at that time is temporarily stored as the number of short-time pending starts, and at the same time, “*” is stored in the “time” S column of the record. It returns after executing step D11.

  On the other hand, if the jackpot flag is on ("YES" in step D1), it is determined whether or not the jackpot signal has been input, that is, whether or not the jackpot signal has fallen (step D12). If “NO” is determined here, the process directly returns. On the other hand, when the jackpot signal input is completed, step D13 for turning off the big hit flag, step D14 for turning on the hour / short flag, and step D15 for initializing the state determination start number to the initial value are sequentially executed. , The data stored in the steps D3, D4, D7, D8, D9, D11, and the BO, B signal obtained in the out signal input processing routine R1, the safe signal input processing routine R2, the start signal input processing routine R3, A new record is created in which data of RS, T1Y, probability variation S (start number during probability variation), and time reduction S (number of start during time reduction) are written (step D16).

  After the creation of this new record, the step D17 for temporarily adding the hold probability change start number temporarily stored in the step D9 to the probability change continuation start number, and the hold time short start number temporarily stored in the step D11 as the time reduction continuous start number. After the step D18 for adding is sequentially executed, the process returns.

  As a result of executing the jackpot signal input processing routine R4, when the jackpot signal input is started (when a jackpot is generated in the pachinko gaming machine 1), the time of occurrence (corresponding to the jackpot occurrence time) is stored. T1 (cumulative jackpot count) is incremented and stored, and the jackpot flag is turned on.

  In addition, when the probability change flag is turned off at the time when the jackpot signal starts to be input (corresponding to the state where the jackpot has occurred outside the probability change period), the record is stored in the “status” column of the record. The initial number of hits is incremented and stored. On the other hand, when the probability change flag is turned on (corresponding to the state in which the jackpot is generated during the probability change period) at the time when the jackpot signal starts to be input, the “status” column of the record is used. “A” is stored, and the number of probability change continuation start times at that time is temporarily stored as the number of pending probability change starts. In addition, if the hour and middle flag is turned on when the jackpot signal is input (corresponding to the state where the jackpot is generated in a short period of time), the number of short-time continuous starts at that point It is temporarily stored as the start number.

  When the input of the jackpot signal is stopped from the ON state of the jackpot flag (when the jackpot in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is finished), the jackpot flag is turned off and the hourly and middle flag is turned on. At the same time, the state determination start number (which is incremented when the short / middle flag is on at the time of input of the start signal as described above) is initialized to the initial value. At the same time, a new record in which predetermined data is recorded is created, and the hold probability change start number and the hold time short start number are added to the probability change continuation start number and the short time continuation start number, respectively.

  FIG. 12 shows the contents of the probability variation signal input processing routine R5. In this routine R5, the ON state of the probability changing flag is determined (step E1), and if it is OFF, it is determined whether or not the probability changing signal has started to be input (step E2). If "NO" is determined in step E2 (when the probability variation signal is not input), the process returns as it is, but when the probability variation signal is started to be input, the probability variation flag is turned on. Step E3 Return after executing.

  When the probability changing flag is on (“YES” in step E1), it is determined whether or not the input of the probability changing signal is completed, that is, whether or not the probability changing signal has fallen (step E4). When it is determined “NO”, the process returns as it is. On the other hand, when the input of the probability variation signal is completed, step E5 for turning off the flag during probability variation, step E6 for storing the time at that time as the generation time, and “K” for writing in the “status” column of the record. After step S7 for storing and step E8 for creating a new record are sequentially executed, the process returns.

  In this embodiment, the probability variation signal is continuously output from the pachinko gaming machine 1, but the pachinko gaming machine 1 is configured to stop the output of the probability variation signal during the jackpot period. Instead of the step E5 of turning off the probability changing flag when the input of the probability changing signal is ended, a step of turning off the probability changing flag depending on whether or not the probability changing signal is output after the jackpot is ended is set.

  The records created at this time include the data stored in steps E6 and E7, the data stored in steps D9 and D11 of the jackpot signal input processing routine, and the out signal input processing routine R1 and the safe signal input processing. The data of BO, B, RS, probability change S (start number during probability change), and time reduction S (start number during time reduction) obtained in routine R2 and start signal input processing routine R3 are written.

  As a result of execution of the probability variation signal input processing routine R5 described above, when the probability variation signal is input (when probability variation occurs in the pachinko gaming machine 1 (actually, when probability variation / short time gaming state occurs)) The certain change flag is turned on. In addition, when the input of the probability change signal is stopped (when the probability change in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is finished (actually, when the probability change / time-short game state is shifted to the time-short single state or the probability change single game state is ended) )), The probability variation flag is turned off, the occurrence time (corresponding to the probability variation end time) is stored, and “K” for the “status” column of the record is stored, and at the same time, predetermined A new record is created that records the data.

  As described above, the management device 13 executes the out signal input processing routine R1, the safe signal input processing routine R2, the start signal input processing routine R3, the jackpot signal input processing routine R4, and the probability variation signal input processing routine R5. Accordingly, jackpot history data as shown in FIG. 13 is created.

  In short, in the example of FIG. 13, the game patterns of the pachinko gaming machine 1 are the following <1> to <1 based on the data in the “status” column, “T1” column, and “occurrence time” column recorded in the record. It can be seen that it was a form such as 3>.

  <1> The first jackpot at 10:50, the fourth jackpot at 12:20, and the eighth jackpot at 14:30 are so-called first hits that occurred when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in a normal gaming state. It is a hit.

  <2> The second jackpot at 10:58, the third jackpot at 11:00, the fifth jackpot at 12:26, the sixth jackpot at 12:40, the seventh jackpot at 12:52 The jackpot at 9:14:38 is the jackpot in the so-called sweet mode that occurred during the probability change period (the period in the probability change / short-time gaming state or the probability variation single game state) (the second or third bonus hit, The 5th to 7th jackpots and the 9th jackpot are so-called consecutive jackpots).

  <3> 11:08 after the end of the third jackpot, 12:58 after the end of the seventh jackpot, and 15:01 after the end of the ninth jackpot, In response, the probability change state has ended.

  In particular, in a record (in the example of FIG. 13, each of the second, third, sixth to eighth, and eleventh records) that is generated when a jackpot occurs during the probability change, the “probability S” In the "" column, the number of starts during the probability change until the point of occurrence of the jackpot (the number of starts in each period) is recorded, and in the "Success S" column, it is shown that the probability change state is practically continuing. “*” Is recorded. In addition, in the record (4th, 9th, and 12th records in the example of FIG. 13) that is created when the probability change ends, in the “probability change S” column, the probability change end point (probability change). The number of starts during probability variation (the number of starts for each period) until the falling lottery operation) is recorded, and the number of probability variation continuation starts (special state continuation start number) is recorded in the “probable S” column.

  For records other than the first jackpot and the record relating to the current time point (in the example of FIG. 13, each of the second to twelfth records), in the “Time S” column, the time of occurrence of the jackpot Alternatively, the number of short-time starts up to the end of the probability change is recorded, and “*” that indicates that the short-time state is practically continued in the “Sequence S” column or the short-time continuous state has ended. The number of short-time continuous starts up to the time is recorded.

  Although not specifically illustrated, the management device 13 aggregates and calculates various operation data related to each of a large number of pachinko gaming machines 1 in addition to the function of creating the jackpot history data as described above. It is equipped with the function to store and divide operation data for each machine number of pachinko machine 1, for example, cumulative out number, cumulative safe number, jackpot / medium out number, jackpot / medium safe number, short / medium number of outs, Accumulate and accumulate basic data such as the number of safe / short-time safe, cumulative number of starts, number of starts during probability change, number of starts per random change, number of start / short hours, cumulative number of jackpots, number of positive / determined mid-range hits, number of probability / short / medium start At the same time, the following data is calculated and stored based on the raw data.

  (6) Sixth display area f: Characters of “Big jackpot start (× 100)” are displayed, and “Ima”, “1”, “2”,. Are displayed in a horizontal row. Then, in a state of being associated with the characters “Now”, the number of start of the jackpot from the latest jackpot to the current time is displayed by a bar graph composed of a data set indicating 1 to 100 times on one scale. In addition, history data on the number of big hits at the first hit corresponding to each of the last 10 probability variation durations in a state of being associated with the characters “1”, “2”,..., “10”. Is displayed by a bar graph composed of a data set indicating 1 to 100 times on one scale.

  In this case, the number of data sets that can be displayed for each bar graph is 10 sets (that is, the number of start points that can be displayed is 1000 times (100 × 10)). Is not displayed. In addition, when there is an excess portion, a control for blinking a predetermined data set (for example, a control for blinking all the data sets or a state in which all the data sets are lit) for the bar graph with the excess portion. (Only the first set blinks when the display jackpot start number is “1001 to 1100”, and only the first set and the second set blink when the display start number is “1101 to 1200”) Or control to change the display color (for example, control to display the entire data set in a specific color different from the others, or start the display jackpot with the entire data set displayed in a specific color different from the others) When the number is “1001 to 1100”, only the first set blinks or is displayed in a color different from the above specific color, and the number of display jackpot starts By controlling) such that is displayed in the first set and the second set only by flashing or color different from the specific color when "1101-1200", may be displayed to that effect.

  (7) Seventh display area g: “Continuation number” is displayed and a period corresponding to each bar graph indicating history data for the past ten times in the sixth display area f (the probability variation state continues. The number of jackpots during a certain period), that is, the probability variation continuation jackpot count (corresponding to the total duration jackpot count) is digitally displayed.

  (8) Eighth display area h: The character “maximum continuation number” is displayed, and in the state associated with the character, the maximum value of the probability variation continuation on the current day (until the probability variation ends due to probability variation after the probability variation occurs) The maximum number of continuations of jackpots that occurred during the period is digitally displayed.

[2] Second jackpot history data screen (FIG. 19)
When the data switching button 11e is operated once from the state where the first jackpot history data screen is displayed, the control unit 15 displays the second jackpot history data as shown in FIG. 19 on the display screen of the display unit 11d. Switch to the screen.
Specifically, in the second jackpot history data screen shown in FIG. 19, the first display area a, the third display area c, the fourth display area d, the fifth display area e, the seventh display area g, The 8 display areas h are retained without changing the display contents, and the display contents of the second display area b and the sixth display area f are changed as shown in (1) and (2) below.

  (1) Second display area b: The characters “average probability variation continuation start” are displayed, and the average probability variation continuation start number (average start continuation number during the probability variation period) is displayed in association with the character. The

  (2) Sixth display area f: The characters “Continuous change start (× 20)” are displayed, and the characters “1”, “2”,. Displayed and associated with the leftmost position that does not correspond to those characters (the position at which the character “Ima” is displayed on the first jackpot history data screen (FIG. 18)), and the current time from the previous jackpot The start number until is displayed by a bar graph composed of a data set indicating 1 to 20 times on one scale. A data set indicating 1 to 20 times on one scale for the history data of the number of continuation of probability variation for the past 10 times in a state associated with the numbers “1”, “2”,. Displayed by a bar chart consisting of

  In this case, since the number of data sets that can be displayed for each bar graph is 10 sets (that is, the number of startable displays is 200 times (20 × 10)), when the number of start items to be displayed exceeds 200 times The excess portion is not displayed. In addition, when there is an excess portion, a control for blinking a predetermined data set (for example, a control for blinking all the data sets or a state in which all the data sets are lit) for the bar graph with the excess portion. When the display start number is “201 to 220”, only the first set is blinked, and when the display start number is “221 to 240”, only the first set and the second set are blinked), Control for changing display color (for example, control for displaying all data sets in a specific color different from the others, or display start number “201” in a state where all data sets are displayed in a specific color different from others. ˜220 ”, only the first set blinks or is displayed in a color different from the specific color. When the display start number is“ 221 to 240 ”, the first set and By performing such control) as that set only to blink or be displayed in a color different from the specific color, it may be displayed to that effect.

[3] Third jackpot history data screen (FIG. 20)
When the data switching button 11e is operated twice from the state in which the first jackpot history data screen is displayed, the control unit 15 displays the third jackpot history data as shown in FIG. 20 on the display screen of the display unit 11d. Switch to the screen. However, the first jackpot history data screen (FIG. 18) and the second jackpot history data screen (FIG. 19) have the property that no new history data screen is created during the period when the probability variation period continues. On the other hand, the third jackpot history data screen has the property of creating a new history data screen even when a jackpot occurs in addition to the end of the probability variation period.
Specifically, in the third jackpot history data screen shown in FIG. 20, the first display area a, the third display area c, the fourth display area d, the fifth display area e, and the eighth display area h are described. The display contents are held without being changed, and the display contents of the second display area b, the sixth display area f, and the seventh display area g are changed as shown in (1) to (3) below.

  (1) Second display area b: The characters “average probability change start” are displayed, and the average value of the number of starts during probability change is displayed in a state associated with the characters.

  (2) Sixth display area f: The characters “probability start (× 20)” are displayed, and “Ima”, “1”, “2”,. Displayed in a horizontal row and displayed in a bar graph consisting of a data set indicating 1 to 20 times on one scale, with the number of probable changes from the previous jackpot to the current time point in a state of being associated with the characters “Now” . In addition, a data set indicating 1 to 20 times on one scale for history data of the number of probable changes during the past 10 times in a state associated with the numbers “1”, “2”,. Displayed by a bar chart consisting of

  In this case, since the number of data sets that can be displayed for each bar graph is 10 sets (that is, the number of startable displays is 200 times (20 × 10)), when the number of start items to be displayed exceeds 200 times The excess portion is not displayed. In addition, when there is an excess portion, the bar graph with the excess portion may be displayed as such by performing control for blinking a predetermined data set or control for changing the display color in the same manner as described above. good.

  (3) Seventh display area g: jackpot information only when a jackpot occurs at the position corresponding to each bar graph indicating the history data (start count during probability change) for the past ten times in the sixth display area f. “0” is displayed. Therefore, nothing is displayed when the probability change ends without generating a big hit.

[4] Fourth jackpot history data screen (FIG. 21)
When the data switching button 11e is operated three times from the state where the first jackpot history data screen is displayed, the control unit 15 displays the fourth jackpot history data as shown in FIG. Switch to the screen.
Specifically, on the fourth jackpot history data screen shown in FIG. 21, the display contents of the third display area c, the fourth display area d, the fifth display area e, and the eighth display area h are changed. The display contents of the first display area a, the sixth display area f, and the seventh display area g are changed as shown in (1) to (3) below, and the second display area b is not present. Display state.

  (1) First display area a: “Probability variation continuation start (ranking)” characters are displayed, and in the state associated with the characters, ranking first rank data relating to the number of past probability variation continuation starts is displayed. The In this case, the lower ranking data is displayed according to the pressing operation of the left button 11j, and the higher ranking data is displayed according to the pressing operation of the right button 11i.

  (2) Sixth display area f: “Probability variation start ranking (× 20)” characters are displayed, and characters “1”, “2”,. In the state of being associated with those characters, the data of the ranking 1st to 10th related to the past number of probability variation continuation is displayed by a bar graph composed of a data set indicating 1 to 20 times on one scale. . In each bar graph, data corresponding to the number of probability variation continuation start digitally displayed in the first display area a is notified by, for example, blinking display or display in a color different from other data. .

In this case, the number of data sets that can be displayed for each bar graph is 10 sets (that is, the number of startable displays is 200 times (20 × 10)). Is not displayed. In addition, when there is an excess portion, the bar graph with the excess portion may be displayed as such by performing control for blinking a predetermined data set or control for changing the display color in the same manner as described above. good.
(3) Seventh display area g: The character “continuation number” is displayed and the corresponding period of the probability variation continuation start number displayed by the bar graph at a position corresponding to each bar graph in the sixth display area f The number of jackpots in (the period during which the probability variation state continues) is digitally displayed.

[5] Fifth jackpot history data screen (FIG. 22)
When the data switching button 11e is operated four times from the state where the first jackpot history data screen is displayed, the control unit 15 displays the display screen of the display unit 11d as fifth jackpot history data as shown in FIG. Switch to the screen. When the data switching button 11e is operated in the display state of the fifth jackpot history data screen, the display returns to the initial state in which the first jackpot history data screen is displayed on the display unit 11d.
Specifically, on the fifth jackpot history data screen shown in FIG. 22, the display contents of the third display area c, the fourth display area d, the fifth display area e, and the eighth display area h are changed. The display contents of the first display area a, the second display area b, the sixth display area f, and the seventh display area g are changed as shown in (1) to (4) below.

  (1) First display area a: The period of time from the end of jackpot in the past to the end of jackpot in the state of being associated with the letter “Characteristic start fall (ranking)” The data ranked first in relation to the number of starts during probability variation (period until the occurrence of the probability variation falling lottery operation) (hereinafter referred to as the probability variation start number of falls) is displayed. In this case, the lower ranking data is displayed according to the pressing operation of the right button 11i, and the higher ranking data is displayed according to the pressing operation of the left button 11j.

  (2) Second display area b: The characters “start (now)” are displayed, and the number of starts from the previous jackpot to the current time is digitally displayed in a state associated with the characters. However, at the time when no jackpot has occurred, the number of starts from the start of business on that day to the current time is displayed digitally.

  (3) Sixth display area f: “Probability start falling ranking (× 20)” characters are displayed, and “1”, “2”,. In the state of being associated with those characters, the data of the first to tenth rankings related to the number of probability variation start falls in the past is displayed by a bar graph composed of a data set indicating 1 to 20 times on one scale. . In each bar graph, the data corresponding to the probability variation start falling number that is digitally displayed in the first display area a is notified by, for example, blinking display or display with a color different from other data. .

  In this case, since the number of data sets that can be displayed for each bar graph is 10 sets (that is, the number of start points that can be displayed is 200 times (20 × 10)), the probability variation start falling number to be displayed exceeds 200 times. Is not displayed. In addition, when there is an excess portion, the bar graph with the excess portion may be displayed as such by performing control for blinking a predetermined data set or control for changing the display color in the same manner as described above. good.

  (4) Seventh display area g: jackpot information only when a jackpot occurs at the position corresponding to each bar graph indicating the history data (probability variation start fall number) for the past ten times in the sixth display area f. “0” is displayed. Therefore, nothing is displayed when the probability change ends without generating a big hit.

  On the other hand, in FIG. 14 to FIG. 17, the control content related to the display of the first to fifth jackpot history data screens (FIG. 18 to FIG. 22) among the control content by the control unit 15 is shown. This will be described below.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 14, the control unit 15 is configured to repeatedly execute a main program including a start signal input processing routine R11, a jackpot signal input processing routine R12, and a probability variation signal input processing routine R13.

  FIG. 15 shows the contents of the start signal input processing routine R11. In this routine R11, it is determined whether or not a start signal has been input (step F1). On the other hand, when a start signal is input, the number of starts for display in the first display area a in the “current number of starts” (first to third jackpot history data screens (FIGS. 18 to 20)). After executing step F2 for incrementing the fifth jackpot history data screen (start number for display in the second display area b) on the fifth jackpot history data screen (FIG. 22) and step F3 for incrementing the cumulative start number, the probability changing flag is set. It is determined whether or not it is in an on state (step F4). The probability change flag is turned on during a period when the corresponding pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the probability change state, as will be apparent from the following description.

  If the probability change flag is off, the process returns as it is. If it is on, step F5 for incrementing the number of start steps during probability change and step F6 for incrementing the number of probability change continuation start (corresponding to the number of special state continuation start) are sequentially performed. Returns after execution.

  As a result of the execution of the start signal input processing routine R11 described above, every time a start signal is input from the corresponding pachinko gaming machine 1 (every time a roulette symbol variation effect operation is performed in the special symbol display section 9a of the pachinko gaming machine 1). ) “Now start number” and the cumulative start number are incremented. In addition, when the probability changing flag is turned on at the time when the start signal is input, the number of starts during probability change and the number of starts with probability change are incremented. In the start signal input processing routine R11, the probability variation continuation start number is obtained by incrementing simultaneously with the probability variation start number. For example, only the probability variation start number is incremented, and the probability variation is continued. When it becomes clear, the configuration may be such that the number of starts during probability variation is added to the number of continuous variations start.

  FIG. 16 shows the contents of the jackpot signal input processing routine R12. In this routine R12, it is determined whether or not the big hit flag is on (step G1), and if it is off, it is determined whether or not the big hit signal has been input (step G2). If “NO” is determined in step G2 (when the jackpot signal is not input), the process returns as it is, but when the jackpot signal is started to be input, the jackpot flag is turned on. After executing step G4 for incrementing the number of jackpots, it is determined whether or not the probability changing flag is on (step G5). When the probability changing flag is off, the history display update processing routine G6, the step G7 for incrementing the number of continuous jackpots, and the maximum jackpot update processing routine G8 are sequentially executed, and then the process returns.

  In the history display update processing routine G6, control is performed to switch the jackpot history data being displayed on the display unit 11d (see the first to fifth jackpot history data screens (FIGS. 18 to 22)) to the latest one. In the maximum jackpot update processing routine G8, the maximum jackpot count (displayed in the fifth display area e) and the maximum probability variation continuation value (displayed in the eighth display area h) of the jackpot history data being displayed on the display unit 11d. When at least one of () is updated, control is performed to change the corresponding display data to updated data.

  On the other hand, when the probability changing flag is ON, step G9 for incrementing the probability variation jackpot count (the number of jackpots in the period in which the probability variation state continues), Step G10 is stored in association with the data, and step G11 is stored in order to store and initialize the count value at the current time of the probability changing start number, and then the step G7 and the maximum jackpot update processing routine G8 are sequentially executed. And return. The jackpot record flag is necessary for displaying jackpot information ("0") in the seventh display area g in the third and fifth jackpot history data screens (FIGS. 20 and 22). It is.

  On the other hand, if the jackpot flag is on (“YES” in step G1), it is determined whether or not the jackpot signal has been input, that is, whether or not the jackpot signal has fallen (step G12). If “NO” is determined here, the process directly returns. On the other hand, when the input of the big hit signal is completed, the process returns after executing step G13 for turning off the big hit middle flag and step G14 for initializing the “current start number” to the initial value.

  As a result of the execution of the jackpot signal input processing routine R12, when the jackpot signal input is started (when a jackpot is generated in the pachinko gaming machine 1), the jackpot / medium flag is turned on, and the number of jackpots and the number of continuations are continued. The jackpot number is incremented. In this way, when the jackpot signal is started to be input, if the probability change flag is off (corresponding to the state where the jackpot is generated outside the probability change period (equivalent to the first hit)), the display is displayed. When the jackpot history data being displayed on the part 11d is switched to the latest data, and when the maximum jackpot number and the maximum probability variation number are updated, the corresponding data (the fifth display area e, The display data in the eighth display area h) is also updated.

  In addition, when the jackpot signal is started to be input, if the probability change flag is on (corresponding to the situation where the jackpot is generated during the probability change period (a state where consecutive chunks are generated)), the number of probability change jackpots Is incremented, the jackpot recording flag for displaying jackpot information ("0") is turned on, and the count value at the current time of the start number during probability change is stored. Even in this case, when the maximum jackpot count and the maximum probability variation continuation value are updated, the corresponding data being displayed on the display unit 11d (display data in the fifth display area e and the eighth display area h) is updated. Is done.

  Further, when the input of the jackpot signal is stopped (when the jackpot in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is finished), the jackpot flag is turned off and the “current time from the previous jackpot is displayed on the display unit 11d”. "Start number until" is initialized to an initial value (= 0).

  FIG. 17 shows the contents of the probability variation signal input processing routine R13. In this routine R13, the ON state of the probability changing flag is determined (step H1), and if it is OFF, it is determined whether or not the probability changing signal has started to be input (step H2). If "NO" is determined in step H2 (when the probability variation signal is not input), the process returns as it is, but when the probability variation signal is started to be input, the probability variation flag is turned on. Step H3 Return after executing.

  When the probability changing flag is on (“YES” in step H1), it is determined whether or not the input of the probability changing signal is completed, that is, whether or not the probability changing signal has fallen (step H4). When it is determined “NO”, the process returns as it is. On the other hand, when the input of the probability variation signal is completed, step H5 for turning off the probability variation flag, step H6 for storing and initializing the count value at the current time of the probability variation start number, and the current time of the probability variation continuous start number The process returns after executing step H7 for storing and initializing the count value in step H8 and step H8 for storing and initializing the number of continuous jackpots.

  In this embodiment, the probability variation signal is continuously output from the pachinko gaming machine 1, but the pachinko gaming machine 1 is configured to stop the output of the probability variation signal during the jackpot period. In this case, instead of step H5 in which the probability changing signal is turned off upon completion of the input of the probability changing signal, a step of turning off the probability changing flag is set depending on whether or not the probability changing signal is output after the end of the jackpot.

  As a result of the execution of the probability variation signal input processing routine R13, when the probability variation signal is input (when probability variation occurs in the pachinko gaming machine 1 (actually, when probability variation / short time gaming state occurs)) The certain change flag is turned on. In addition, when the input of the probability change signal is stopped (when the probability change in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is finished (actually, when the probability change / time-short game state is shifted to the time-short single state or the probability change single game state is ended) )), The probability variation flag is turned off, and the count value of the probability variation start count, the probability variation continuation start count, and the continuous jackpot count are stored, and then the count value is initialized.

According to the configuration of the present embodiment described above, the following operations and effects can be achieved.
That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, a jackpot lottery operation with a predetermined winning probability is executed according to the winning of the pachinko ball at the start winning opening 6, and the lottery result is displayed by the symbol variation effect operation in the special symbol display unit 9a. In addition to notifying, if the lottery result is a win, a big win advantageous to the player will be generated. Once the jackpot has occurred, after the jackpot has ended, the player is presented with a probability change / short time gaming state in which both a probability change and a short time advantageous to the player have occurred at the same time. When winning a probability change falling lottery operation that is performed every time a pachinko ball wins, the probability change ends and presents a short-time single game state. When the variation effect operation count) is executed a predetermined number of times (50 times), the time reduction ends and a probabilistic single game state is exhibited (the above states are also ended when the jackpot is regenerated). That is, in particular, the end time of the probability change period will change depending on the result of the probability change drop lottery operation, and the end time of the probability change and the end time of the short time will be different naturally, so after the end of the jackpot After passing through the period of the probability change / short time game state, the game returns to the normal game state through the period of either the probability change single game state or the time change single game state.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 1 outputs a jackpot signal during a period of jackpot, outputs a probability change signal during a period of probability, and outputs a start signal when the operation of the special symbol display unit 9a is started. These signals are provided to the call lamp unit 11 and the management device 13. In the call lamp unit 11 and the management device 13, it is possible to determine the occurrence and termination of the jackpot based on the jackpot signal, and to change the probability. The completion can be determined based on the probability variation signal. In particular, the management device 13 determines that the time reduction has ended based on the jackpot signal and the start signal. Specifically, the number of starts after the jackpot is determined based on the jackpot signal is counted based on the start signal, and the time reduction is over when the counted number of starts reaches the prescribed number of 50. It is the structure which performs this determination.

  Thereby, in the management apparatus 13, based on the determination result and the probability variation signal as described above, the overlap period in which both the probability variation and the time shortening have occurred in the pachinko gaming machine 1, only the probability variation has occurred. It becomes possible to accurately identify the second period in which only the period and the short time have occurred, and the jackpot occurrence period. Further, the calling lamp unit 11 can accurately identify the period in which the probability change has occurred in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the period in which the probability change has ended, and the jackpot occurrence period based on the determination result and the probability change signal as described above. It becomes like this.

  In this case, in the management device 13, once the probability change has occurred in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the period until the winning of the probability change falling lottery operation (the period until the probability change ends without reoccurrence of the jackpot) ) Is accumulated using the above-described identification result, and the accumulated result is calculated as the number of consecutively variable start times (in the case of this embodiment, the number of executions of the probability variation falling lottery operation). Will be output). Note that the probability variation continuation start number is output in a state recorded in the “probable S” column of the jackpot history data shown in FIG.

  In short, from the management device 13, data indicating the number of starts in a period (period in which the probability variation state is substantially continued) from when the probability variation once occurs until winning the probability variation falling lottery operation, that is, the pachinko gaming machine 1 This makes it possible to output the probability variation start count, which is important data for grasping the tendency (game characteristics). As a result, a jackpot is generated according to the result of the jackpot lottery operation, and the pachinko gaming machine 1 having a configuration in which the end time of the probability variation state generated after the jackpot is determined by the probability variation falling lottery operation performed with the game is a management target. Even if it happens, the management can be performed appropriately.

  In addition, the control unit 15 in the calling lamp unit 11 uses the identification result described above for the number of start times until a chance change is made in the chance change falling lottery operation once the probability change has occurred in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Then, the control is performed so that the accumulated result is displayed on the display unit 11d as the probability variation continuation start number (see the sixth display area f in FIG. 19).

  Therefore, even when a pachinko gaming machine 1 having a configuration in which a jackpot is generated according to the result of the jackpot lottery operation and the end time of the probability variation state generated after the jackpot is determined by the probability variation falling lottery operation performed with the game appears, Data indicating the number of starts in a period in which the probability variation state is substantially continued, that is, the probability variation continuation start number which is important data for grasping the tendency (game characteristics) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be appropriately displayed. It will be useful to improve the interest of the game. In this case, since the average value of the probability variation continuation start number is also displayed (see the second display area b in FIG. 19), it is further useful for grasping the gaming characteristics of the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  From the management device 13, the total number of occurrences of jackpots during the period from the time of occurrence of the jackpot to the winning of the probability variation falling lottery operation is output as the number of consecutive probability jackpots. As a result, it becomes possible to accurately grasp the relationship between the number of starts (probability variation start number) and the number of jackpot occurrences corresponding to that period until winning the probability variation falling lottery operation after probability variation has occurred. It will be beneficial to manage properly.

  In addition, the control unit 15 in the calling lamp unit 11 displays the total number of jackpot occurrences during the period from the time when the jackpot is generated in the pachinko gaming machine 1 until the winning of the chance variation lottery operation as the probability variation continuation jackpot count. (Refer to the seventh display area g in FIGS. 18 and 19). As a result, on the player side, the game characteristics of the pachinko gaming machine 1, in particular, the number of starts (probability variation start number) until winning the probability variation falling lottery operation after the probability variation has occurred and the number of jackpot occurrences corresponding to that period This is useful for accurately grasping the characteristics indicating the relationship between

  From the management device 13, the number of starts in each period in which the probability change has occurred in the pachinko gaming machine 1, that is, the number of starts in each period until the probability change state once generated is terminated according to the occurrence of the jackpot or the probability change falling lottery operation. The probability variation start number (probability variation S) indicating is output in a state distinguished from the probability variation continued start number. The number of starts during probability change is output in the state recorded in the “probability change S” column of the jackpot history data shown in FIG. As a result, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is managed such that it is possible to accurately grasp the ratio between the number of starts in each probability change occurrence period and the number of starts in the period in which the probability change state is substantially continued. Will be beneficial on.

  Further, the control unit 15 in the calling lamp unit 11 is configured to perform control to display the number of start times during probability variation as distinguished from the number of start sequences of probability variation as described above (sixth display area in FIG. 20). f). As a result, on the player side, the game characteristics of the pachinko gaming machine 1, in particular, the ratio between the number of starts in each probability change occurrence period and the number of starts in the period in which the probability change state is substantially continued. This is useful for accurately grasping the characteristics to be shown. In this case, since the average value of the start number during probability change is also displayed (see the second display area b in FIG. 20), it is further useful for grasping the gaming characteristics of the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  Further, the control unit 15 in the calling lamp unit 11 associates the jackpot information “0” indicating whether or not a jackpot has occurred in each probability change occurrence period corresponding to the number of starts during probability change with the number of starts during probability change. (Refer to the seventh display area g in FIGS. 20 and 22). According to this configuration, it is useful for the player to accurately grasp information on whether or not a big hit has occurred during each probability change occurrence period.

  The management device 13 may be configured to output such jackpot information together with the number of starts during probability change. According to this configuration, information on whether or not a jackpot has occurred in each probability change occurrence period can be accurately obtained. It becomes useful in managing the pachinko gaming machine 1 such as being able to grasp.

  According to the present embodiment, the display lamps 11a to 11c of the calling lamp unit 11 are configured to notify that the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a big hit, that it is in the probability change / short time gaming state or the short time single gaming state. However, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is configured not to notify that it is in the probability-variable single game state. For this reason, it is possible to expect an effect of improving the gameability so that it is possible to actively appeal to the player that the shortage in the state where the winning rate to the start winning opening 6 is increased, and whether or not the probability change is continuing. With regard to the game, a new game is born in which the player is expected to improve the willingness to continue the game and the interest related to the game.

  In addition, the management apparatus 13 is based on the accurate identification result as described above, and the data related to the winning rate of the pachinko ball among the operation data of the pachinko gaming machine 1, that is, the period in which the time reduction occurs and the non-occurrence period. The data that will fluctuate greatly is tabulated separately from the period in which the shortage occurred and the period in which the shortage and jackpot did not occur, and among the operational data of the pachinko gaming machine 1, data related to the jackpot occurrence probability, The data that varies greatly between the period in which the probability change has occurred and the non-occurrence period is aggregated by distinguishing the period in which the probability change has occurred and the normal probability period. As a result, the pachinko gaming machine 1 having a configuration in which the probability change and time reduction that are advantageous to the player side and the occurrence of overlap and the presence of the pachinko machine 1 are managed, but the operation data related to the probability change and time reduction must be managed in detail. Is possible. In this case, the pachinko gaming machine 1 only outputs one type of signal (probability change signal) as a signal indicating the gaming state, and it is not necessary to change the hardware configuration on the management device 13 side. There is no danger of increasing costs.

(Second Embodiment)
23 to 27 show a second embodiment of the present invention that exhibits the same effect as the first embodiment, and only the parts different from the first embodiment will be described below. That is, in this embodiment, in the information disclosure terminal 14 as a game information display device, calculation of operation data used for display and display control of jackpot history data and the like based on the calculation data are performed. The control unit (not shown) provided to perform the display control in the information disclosure terminal 14 functions as the display control means in the present invention.

  That is, the information disclosure terminal 14 obtains necessary data for display by data communication with the management device 13 or calculates the necessary data by performing the same calculation as the management device 13 by itself. The jackpot history data screen as shown is displayed.

  In other words, this jackpot history data screen is the jackpot history data described in the first embodiment in a state in which it is associated with the title of the “jackpot history”, the model name and unit number of the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the data output date. (See FIG. 13) of “state”, “T1”, “occurrence time”, “RS”, “T1Y”, “probability variation S”, “probability S”, “short-time S”, “time-lapse S” The data in each column is displayed.

  Further, the information disclosure terminal 14 obtains necessary data for display by data communication with the management apparatus 13 or calculates the necessary data by performing the same calculation as the management apparatus 13 by itself. The probability variation continuing start number ranking screen, the probability variation continuing middle jackpot ranking screen, the probability variation starting number ranking screen, and the model variation probability continuing start number ranking screen as shown in FIG. 27 are selectively displayed.

  In this case, in the probability variation continuation start number ranking screen of FIG. 24, the title column and the model name are associated with the title and model name of the “probability variation continuation start ranking” and the pachinko gaming machine 1 of each pachinko machine 1. A table number column is displayed, and the number of jackpots corresponding to each pachinko machine 1 corresponding to each column number field and the number of jackpots corresponding to the probability variation continuation period (substantial variation continuation period including the suspension time due to jackpot) are ranked. It is displayed. This ranking is sorted so that data with a large number of probability variation continuation starts is high, and data with a large number of jackpots is high when the number of probability variation continuation start is the same.

  In the probability variation ongoing jackpot ranking screen of FIG. 25, the ranking column (“No.” column) and the pachinko gaming machine 1 stand in correspondence with the title and model name of “probability variation middle jackpot ranking”. A number field is displayed, and the probability variation continuation start number for the pachinko gaming machine 1 corresponding to each vehicle number field and the jackpot number corresponding to the probability variation continuation period are ranked and displayed. This ranking is sorted so that data with a large number of jackpots is higher, and when the number of jackpots is the same, data with a large number of probability variation continuation starts is higher.

  In the probability changing start number ranking screen of FIG. 26, the ranking column (“No.” column) and the machine number column of each pachinko gaming machine 1 are associated with the title and model name of “probable variation starting number ranking”. Is displayed, and the number of starts during probability change for the pachinko gaming machine 1 corresponding to each unit number column is displayed as a ranking, and “○” is displayed when a big hit occurs during the period corresponding to the number of starts during probability change. When the probability variation falls lottery operation is won and the probability variation is completed without generating a big hit, “X” is displayed.

  On the model-specific probability change continuation start number ranking screen of FIG. 27, in correspondence with the title of “model probability change continuation start number ranking”, the ranking column (“No.” column) and model name (“***”) are displayed. , “***”, etc.) are displayed, and the number of probability variation continuation starts and the number of jackpots corresponding to the probability variation duration for each group of pachinko machines corresponding to each model name column are displayed in the ranking. Has been. This ranking is sorted so that data with a large number of probability variation continuation starts is high, and data with a large number of jackpots is high when the number of probability variation continuation start is the same.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and shown in the drawings, and can be modified or expanded as described below, for example.
In each of the above embodiments, the data indicating the number of jackpots corresponding to the probability variation duration is configured to include the number of jackpots related to the so-called first hit. It is also possible to adopt a configuration not included in the data indicating the number of jackpots corresponding to the duration.

  As an example of the game information display device, the calling lamp unit 11 and the information disclosure terminal 14 are given. However, as shown in FIG. 28, the data display terminal 21 provided along with the ball lending machine 10 is used as the game information display device. It is also possible to configure.

  The first to fifth jackpot history data (individual data for each pachinko gaming machine 1) shown in FIGS. 18 to 22 may be displayed on the information disclosure terminal 14, and the display screens of FIGS. The data corresponding to the above may be displayed on the calling lamp unit 11 or the data display terminal 21. In the calling lamp unit 11 and the data display terminal 21 which are each terminal, data about other pachinko gaming machines 1 can be acquired from the management device 13 or other terminal terminals at the time of data display. In addition, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 corresponding to each terminal is surely changed, if it is configured to output data to the other terminal, each pachinko gaming machine 1 for each terminal Data can be easily acquired.

  The control unit 15 in the calling lamp unit 11 may be configured to acquire data used for display on the display unit 11 d by data communication with the management device 13. In this case, for example, the control unit 15 selectively requests the management device 13 for data used for display on the display unit 11d, and the data that is answered back from the management device 13 in response to this request. The control for displaying each jackpot history data screen as shown in FIGS. The information disclosure terminal 14 can also be configured to acquire data used for the display by data communication with the management device 13.

  A configuration may be provided in which setting means is provided that can change and set the specified number of times (50 in the above embodiment) as a reference for ending time reduction for each pachinko gaming machine 1. According to this configuration, it is possible to vary the time-saving end timing for each pachinko gaming machine 1 or for each model, thereby diversifying the gaming characteristics of the pachinko gaming machine 1 installed in the game hall. Can be easily realized.

  The pachinko gaming machine 1 is always configured to shift to the probable change / short-time gaming state after the jackpot is ended, but is configured to shift to the probability change / short-time gaming state with a predetermined probability after the jackpot ends, for example, in the special symbol display unit 9a When the number sequence displayed at the end of the symbol variation effect operation is an odd number sequence such as “111” or “333”, the game is shifted to the probability variation / short time gaming state (the probability of shifting is 50%). In addition, the probability of shifting to the probabilistic / short-time gaming state can be set variously such as 90%, 80%, 75%, 70%, and the probability may be changed as the game progresses. good. However, in such a configuration, when calculating the number of probability variation continuing start counts (= number of starts during probability variation ÷ number of cumulative probability variation intrusions = number of starts during probability variation ÷ number of cumulative jackpots), the cumulative number of probability variation rushes ≒ the number of cumulative jackpots Therefore, the actual number of probability variation rushes is counted, and the calculation of probability variation continuation start number = number of probability variation start times ÷ total probability variation rush number is performed.

  An example is given of a pachinko gaming machine 1 that is configured to generate a probability change when a predetermined condition of the end of the jackpot is satisfied. However, a pachinko gaming machine that is configured so that the opportunity for generating a probability change is performed regardless of the jackpot is targeted. You can also As a specific example of such a configuration, a probability variation lottery operation is performed simultaneously with the jackpot lottery operation during a period when the probability variation state is not established, and a probability variation occurs when winning the probability variation lottery operation or starts after the jackpot end A configuration is considered in which the probability change occurs when the number (the number of jackpot start) reaches a specified value. Also, the time reduction can be configured to occur under the same conditions as described above.

  In the above embodiment, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the probabilistic / short-time game state and in the short-time single game state, the display lamps 11b and 11c of the call lamp unit 11 are alternately blinked. However, such a display operation is performed when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the probability changing / short time gaming state, and when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the short time single gaming state, for example, only the display lamp 11c blinks. It is good also as a structure which performs. In this case, when the pachinko machine 1 is in the probabilistic / short-time gaming state and the probabilistic change is completed and the short-time single gaming state is entered, the fact that the probable change has ended is indirectly notified to the player. Therefore, it is useful when providing such notification as a service for a player.

  In the above embodiment, when the number of starts after the end of the jackpot reaches the specified number of times, the time reduction is ended, and the probability variation is terminated according to the result of the probability variation falling lottery operation (the special state in the present invention is regarded as certain variation). However, when the number of starts after the jackpot has reached the specified number of times, the probability change ends, and when the short-time falling lottery action is successful, the short-time ends (this book) It may be a configuration in which the special state in the invention is shortened.

  Although the pachinko gaming machine 1 is configured to identify the period in which the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in a probabilistic state based on the probability changing signal output from the pachinko gaming machine 1 side in the probable period, The probability variation end signal may be output from the pachinko gaming machine 1 at the selected timing, and the management device 13 may be configured to identify the probability variation period based on the input timing of the probability variation end signal.

  It is also possible to manage a pachinko gaming machine provided with a signal generation board configured to output a time-shortening signal indicating that the time-shortening has occurred. In this case, the pachinko game is managed on the management device 13 side. The determination of the time-short end timing (timing for turning off the time-shortage flag) in the machine can be performed directly based on the time-short signal.
