Description

  The present invention relates to a ball game machine such as a pachinko game machine, and more particularly, to a notice display of a reserved ball that is a hit.

The bullet ball game machine has special symbol display means, and the symbol variation of the special symbol display means is started by winning the game ball at the special symbol start winning opening, and the variation symbol is stopped at a predetermined symbol. In some cases (that is, in the case of winning), a game state that is shifted to a specific game state that is advantageous to the player is known.
During operation of this special symbol display means (that is, during symbol variation) or during the above-mentioned specific game state, game balls that have won a special symbol start winning opening are treated as so-called holding balls up to four, The random number acquired at the time of winning is stored as an unexecuted random number, and the number of the unexecuted random numbers is displayed on a liquid crystal at a predetermined position on the game board.
When the symbol variation of the special symbol display means in operation is finished, the reserved ball starts symbol variation based on the unexecuted random number of the reserved ball in the winning order.

  In such a ball game machine, when in a specific gaming state, it is determined in advance whether there is a winning random number among the unexecuted random numbers. At the end, it has been proposed to display a notice that there is a hit in the reserved ball (hereinafter referred to as “predicted display per held ball”). (Patent Document 1)

On the other hand, there are two special symbol display means as described above, and the variation display of the special symbols is a bullet of a type started by winning a game ball in a start winning opening provided corresponding to each of the special symbol display means. Ball game machines are also known.
In this type, one of the two start winning openings is a so-called electric tulip, and the other is a starting winning opening that is always open. In the case of an electric tulip, the opening is performed by hitting a normal symbol lottery performed by a game ball passing through a normal symbol start opening (gate).
Since this type of ball game machine has two special symbol display means for generating a hit, it is possible to give diversity to the game.

In such a conventional example, in the ball and ball game machine having the two special symbol display means described above, since it is not considered to display a notice per reserved ball, it is not sufficient to give diversity to the game.
The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and intends to provide a game machine that is interesting for a player by adopting the notice display for the reserved ball in a bullet ball game machine having two special symbol display means. Is.

As a means for achieving the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a first start winning port and a second starting winning port through which game balls can be won, and the gaming balls to the first starting winning port or the second starting winning port. Using the random number acquisition means for acquiring random numbers in response to the winning of the prize, the lottery table selection means for selecting the lottery table from a plurality of types of lottery tables with different winning probabilities according to the gaming state, and the selected lottery table, The random number means for determining whether the random number acquired by winning a prize is a plurality of hits or misses having different profit probabilities for the player, and the validity of the random number acquired by winning the first start winning opening The first special symbol display means for notifying the lottery result of the lotter means, and the lottery result of the success / failure lottery means for the random number acquired by winning in the second start winning opening A second special symbol display means to know, and when the lottery result is one of the multiple types of hits, in the ball game machine controlled to a specific game state corresponding to the hit, Even if a game ball wins at the first start winning opening, the random number acquired by the winning is held as a non-executed random number up to a predetermined upper limit number without executing the variable display by the first special symbol display means. Even if there is a game ball winning in the first holding means and the second start winning opening, the random number obtained by the winning is used as an unexecuted random number without executing the variable display by the second special symbol display means. A second holding means for holding up to a predetermined upper limit number, a first holding ball display means for displaying that there is an unexecuted random number held by the first holding means, and a second holding means. Have Second reserved ball display means for displaying that there is an unexecuted random number, and retained ball digest means for giving priority to the execution of the variable display of the unexecuted random number held in the second hold means over the first hold means And when the execution of the variable display of the non-executed random numbers held in the second holding unit is completed, the non-executed held in the first holding unit using the selected lottery table A random number is displayed on the first reserved ball display means based on the determination of the held ball hitting determination means for determining any one of a plurality of types of hits and deviations having different profit rates for the player and the determination of the held ball hitting determination means. And a holding ball hitting notice means for notifying in advance of hits related to the holding balls.

  Also, it has a normal symbol starting port, and the second starting winning port is opened by hitting a normal symbol lottery by entering a game ball into the normal symbol starting port, and a game ball can be won. After the specific gaming state ends, the winning probability in the normal symbol drawing is higher than in the normal gaming state and the first special symbol display means until the predetermined gaming state is completed. In addition, the variable display time by the second special symbol display means is set to a shorter time state than a normal game state.

  Furthermore, it has a notice lottery means for drawing whether or not to give the notice, and the notice is given by hitting the notice lottery means.

The present invention has a first and second special symbol display means, and in a bullet ball game machine that prioritizes variable display related to the reserved ball of the second special symbol, the variable of the reserved ball related to the second special symbol When the display is finished, a notice for hitting the reserved ball related to the first special symbol is displayed, so that the notice for hitting the reserved ball related to the first special symbol is as if continued to the game in the second special symbol. It is possible to produce an effect as if it is a game, or an effect as if it is restored to the time-short state after the time-short state is ended by the end of the game with the second holding ball. Since diversity can be further provided, it is possible to provide a ball game machine that provides interest to the player.
In addition, when all the executions of the fluctuation display of the unexecuted random numbers held in the second holding means are completed, the unexecuted random numbers held in the first holding means have a plurality of types with different profit rates for the player. Since either hit or miss is determined, it is possible to avoid as much as possible a situation in which a flaw occurs between the notice display for holding balls and the actual hit determination.

The special winning opening operating device 315 is a device for operating the special winning opening 44. In a specific gaming state, the special winning opening is operated by operating a front plate covering the special winning opening 44 with a solenoid or the like. To open or close.
The prize ball payout device 321 pays out a predetermined number of prize balls to the player in accordance with the winning of game balls at various prize openings such as the big prize opening 44.
The reserved ball hitting notice means 319 and the reserved ball display variable notice means 320 will be described later.

  Next, the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment configured as described above will be described with a focus on the notice operation per reserved ball, which is a feature of the present invention.

When the game ball wins the first start winning slot 41 and the winning is detected by the first start winning slot sensor 211, a random number for hit determination is acquired by the random number acquisition means 113 for the winning. Similarly, if a game ball wins with the opening of the second start winning opening 42, it is detected by the second start winning opening sensor 212, and a random number for winning determination is acquired.
Next, whether or not the random number acquired by winning in this way matches the predetermined hit random number is determined by the winning / not-throwing means 114.
Correspondence determination lottery means 114 uses the random number lottery table selected by lottery table selection portion 126 to determine whether or not the acquired random number corresponds to a hit random number provided in the random number lottery table. At this time, a plurality of hits having different profit probabilities for the player are provided in the random number lottery table, and the profit probability for the player is determined depending on which hit random number provided in the random number lottery table corresponds to the random number obtained by winning. It is determined which specific gaming state is different (in this case, it is first determined that the winning probability with different profit probabilities is “hit” by the appropriate / unusual lottery means 114) It may be possible to draw a specific game state separately.)
In this way, the specific game state with different profit probabilities for the player is, for example, the number of rounds at which the big prize opening 44 opens in the specific game state is set to 3, 7, 15 or the like. . Further, the gaming state after the end of the specific gaming state is set to a normal gaming state having a low hit probability (for example, a hit probability of 1/300) or a high probability state having a high hit probability (for example, 1/30) ( The probability of profit for the player can be made different depending on whether the probability variation state is set.

The lottery table selection means 126 selects a random number lottery table to be used for the success / failure lottery means from a plurality of random number lottery tables having different hit probabilities according to the gaming state at that time. For example, when a high probability random number lottery table with a high hit probability and a low probability random lottery table with a low hit probability are provided, and the gaming state of the gaming machine is in a high probability state (probability variation state) as described above The high probability random number lottery table is selected, and the low probability random number lottery table is selected in the normal gaming state.
An example of such a random number drawing table is shown in FIG.
The high probability random number drawing table (A) has 30 hit random number values (therefore, the hit probability in this case is 30/999), and the low probability random number drawing table (B) has three hit random number values. (Hence the probability of hitting in this case is 3/999).
The random number drawing tables A and B use the same random number value (7, 11, 13 in the example of FIG. 4) as a random number for reducing the storage capacity of the ROM 111.

Based on the determination result by the appropriate / not-squeezed lottery means 114, the fluctuation display control means 115 starts the fluctuation display of the first special symbol display means 310 or the second special symbol display means 311 and, in synchronization with the fluctuation display, The effect image display control means 116 starts the effect image display of the effect image display means 318 (a hit effect image display or a miss effect image display).
For the player, by paying attention to various effect images developed on the effect image display means 318, the player will be intrigued by the determination result of the winning game ball.
When the first special symbol display means 310 or the second special symbol display means 311 stops displaying the fluctuation for a predetermined time, the predetermined effect image display by the effect image display means 318 is also terminated, and the determination result is the effect image display means 318, And it is displayed on the first special symbol display means 310 or the second special symbol display means 311 to display whether or not the player is hit.

  Also, from when the game ball has won the first start winning opening 41 to the second start winning opening 42 until when the corresponding variable display of the first special symbol display means 310 or the second special symbol display means 311 ends. Or when the combination of symbols that will cause the big prize opening 44 to be operated is displayed on the first special symbol display means 310 or the second special symbol display means 311 until the operation of the special prize opening 44 ends. In the meantime, the game balls in which the game balls have won the first start winning port 41 or the second start winning port 42 are set as so-called holding balls after the random number acquisition means 113 acquires random numbers, In the means 118 or the second holding means 119, the random number is stored as an unexecuted random number (holding ball random number) in the order of winning with an upper limit of four. At this time, the unexecuted random number is stored so that it can be seen what number is related to the reserved ball that won the prize.

When the reserved balls are generated in this way, the generation of the reserved balls is displayed by the first reserved ball display means 316 or the second reserved ball display means 317, respectively.
As shown in FIG. 2, the first reserved ball display means 316 and the second reserved ball display means 317 are constituted by a liquid crystal display element below the effect image display means 318, and the first reserved ball display on the left side. The number of reserved balls corresponding to the upper limit number is displayed by the means 316, and the number of reserved balls corresponding to the upper limit number is displayed by the second second reserved ball display means 317 on the right side.
Of course, the display of the first reserved ball display means 316 and the second reserved ball display means 317 is not limited to this, and can be provided separately from the effect image display means 318 using a light emitting diode or the like.
In the present embodiment, the upper limit number is set to four, and as shown in FIG. 2, the four are arranged at predetermined positions on the left and right. Of course, these can be juxtaposed in two upper and lower rows, or separated vertically.
Then, the holding ball display control means 120 sequentially displays from the holding ball display at the left end position in FIG. 2 toward the holding ball display at the right end position in the order in which the holding balls are generated. It is displayed so that it may decrease in order from this holding ball display.

When the variation display by the first special symbol display unit 310 or the second special symbol display unit 311 is finished and the determination result is displayed as out of place, the game ball to be displayed in the next variation display is the first holding unit 118. When there is a holding ball (first holding ball) held on the second holding means 119 or a holding ball (second holding ball) held on the second holding means 119, it becomes the holding ball. Among the first reserved balls and the second reserved balls, the reserved ball digesting means 121 for preferentially setting the second reserved balls as the next display target is provided.
For example, when the variable display of the first special symbol display means 310 is stopped and the determination result is displayed as out of place, if there is a second reserved ball, the unexecuted random number of the second reserved ball is displayed. Become. However, when there is no second holding ball and three holding balls are displayed on the first holding ball display means 316 related to the first holding ball (that is, among the four holding ball display positions, the third on the left side) ), The unexecuted random number related to the leftmost hold ball display (first hold ball display) with the earliest winning time is displayed, and is displayed on the first hold ball display means 316. The display position is sequentially shifted so that the second position is the first position and the third position is the second position.
In this way, the reserved balls are digested by the reserved ball digesting means 121, and the display positions are displayed shifted one by one to the left.
The unexecuted random number of the reserved balls digested by the reserved ball digesting means 121 is subjected to a hit determination by the reserved ball hit determining means 122, and based on the determination result, the first special symbol display means 310 or the second special symbol display means 310 The variation display by the symbol display means 311 and the effect image display by the effect image display means 318 are started, and thereafter the same operation as described above is performed.

As described above, when the determination result is “winning”, it is displayed on the first special symbol display means 310 or the second special symbol display means 311, and the specific game control means 117 outputs the sound effect. After the sound effect or light effect that informs the “winning” by the device 313 and the lamp device 314 is performed, the state is shifted to the specific gaming state.
The specific gaming state has a plurality of gaming states (the number of rounds at which the big winning opening 44 is opened is set to a high probability state or a normal gaming state) having different profit probabilities for the player. As described above, one of the specific game states is set according to a random number.
The big winning opening 44 is opened by a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 15 times) predetermined according to each specific gaming state, and at each opening, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins or a predetermined time ( It is controlled to close when, for example, 30 seconds) elapses or any state is reached.
The winning of the game ball to the big winning opening 44 is detected by the big winning hole sensor 213, and a predetermined number (for example, 15) of gaming balls are paid out to the player by the prize ball paying device 321 for each winning ball. .

In the present invention, when such a specific gaming state is completed, the time-short state control means 125 for making a so-called time-short state is configured to operate.
The short time state control means 125 shortens the variable display time in the first special symbol display means 310, the second special symbol display means 311 and the normal symbol display means 312 from the normal gaming state (for example, the variable symbol change display time is (In normal gaming state, it is 2.3 seconds in the short time state, and 2.3 seconds in the normal symbol state. The normal display time is 30 seconds in the normal gaming state and 2 seconds in the short time state.) While increasing (for example, the winning probability is 10/31 in the normal gaming state and 28/31 in the short-time state), the opening time of the second start winning opening 42 when winning is increased (for example, the opening time is normally The game state is controlled so that it is 0.2 seconds in the game state and 2 seconds × 3 times in the short time state.
Therefore, in the short-time state, it becomes easy for the game ball to win the second start winning opening 42, so that the lottery opportunity related to the second special symbol is increased, and the player is paid by paying the ball for the winning. This is an advantageous situation for players, such as a decrease in the number of possessions.

Such a short-time state is, for example, a) In a gaming state that is in a high probability state, it becomes a win and ends by returning to a specific gaming state again. In the gaming state), the game is terminated by a predetermined condition, for example, a special symbol lottery display is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) and becomes a normal gaming state, or a specific gaming state is hit again. It ends by returning to.
In the case of the above a), when the time-short state ends, in many cases, all of the second reserved balls are digested, while the second reserved balls are first digested. The maximum number of balls (four in the case of the present embodiment) remains on hold.

Since the short-time state is a game state advantageous to the player as described above, the end of the short-time state without hitting as in the case of the above a) has the effect of causing the player to lose interest in the game. Will be given.
Therefore, in the present invention, when all the executions of the fluctuation display of the unexecuted random numbers held by the second holding unit are completed, there is a hit random number among the held balls displayed on the first held ball display unit 316. In addition, a means for displaying a notice in advance is provided.

In the present embodiment, in order to display such a hit notice relating to the first hold ball, first, when all the second hold balls are digested, the hold ball hit determining means 122 is the first hold means. 118 is read, and it is determined whether or not there is a hit random number among the stored unexecuted random numbers, and the number of the reserved ball.
At this time, the random number lottery table used by the holding ball hitting judging means 122 is selected by the lottery table selecting means 126, and the lottery table selecting means 126 is a game at the time when all the second reserved balls are digested. Depending on the state, a high probability random number lottery table with a high hit probability or a low probability random lottery table with a low hit probability is selected from a plurality of random number lottery tables with different hit probabilities.
If it is determined that there is a winning random number among the unexecuted random numbers of the first holding means 118 using the random number lottery table selected in this way, the holding ball hitting notice means 319 causes the first holding ball Notify the player that there is a hit.

  Thus, in order to display that there is a hit in the first hold ball, the hold ball display control means 120 reads the notice image display data for displaying the notice image per hold ball from the notice data memory 124. Further, it is possible to make a configuration in which the hold ball display by the hold ball display variable notice means 320 is performed using the data. For example, when it is determined that among the holding balls displayed by the first holding ball display means 316, the second holding ball in the time series has a winning random number, FIG. As shown in the figure, the data is used to change the display form of the second reserved ball display from the left, for example, the color, the size, the pattern shape, or the like, so that the hit notice is made. At that time, by using the change in the display form, it is possible to make it possible for the player to recognize which notice corresponds to which hit among a plurality of hits having different profit probabilities.

Thus, when a notice is given that there is a random number in the first holding ball, the second holding ball is completely digested (as described above, in many cases, such a state is brought about at the end of the time reduction. Despite this, the player is recognized (in other words, the illusion) that the player's favorable state has been continued, or that the player's advantageous state has been revived by the first holding ball. And the interest in the game can be maintained even after the second reserved ball digestion.
Also, in the short-time state, even if the probability of winning a normal symbol is increased and the opening time of the second start winning opening 42 is lengthened, game balls are not always at the second starting winning opening due to obstacle nails or the like. In many cases, the game table is such that the second reserved ball display disappears without winning a prize. Even in such a game stand, by adopting such a configuration, for the player, every time the second reserved ball is fully consumed, a hit notice display relating to the first held ball can be seen. A sense of expectation for the display of the hold ball can be maintained at all times.
Furthermore, if the notice display by the display form change by the hold ball display variable notice means 320 is used, the player continuously displays the change of the display form of the hold ball from the digest display of the second hold ball to the notice display by the first hold ball. It is preferable because it can be recognized.

Alternatively, in order to notify that there is a hit in the first holding ball, the holding ball hitting notification means 319 is replaced with a sound effect output device 313 or a lamp device 314, and further an effect image display means 318, It can also be configured so that a hit notice is made as appropriate.
When the sound effect output device 313 or the like is used in this way, the player is unaware of which of the plurality of first held balls has been informed, so that the player has a sense of expectation for winning. Can do.

Furthermore, a notice lottery means 123 for lottering whether or not to give a notice of the reserved ball is provided, and the winning notice is determined at the time when the decision by the wrong lotter means 114 is made (that is, whether or not the second reserved ball is displayed). Regardless, it can be performed with a predetermined probability (for example, a probability of 20%).
That is, when the random number obtained by winning the game ball at the first start winning opening 41 is determined to be a hit by the winning / no-drawing means 114, and the hit random number is an unexecuted random number for the first holding ball. When the lottery is drawn by the notice lottery means 123 and the lottery is won, the hold ball display control means 120 immediately controls the hold ball hitting notice means 319, and there is a “hit” in the first hold ball display. This is a notice.
And even if it is a case where it remove | deviates from this lottery, as above-mentioned, when all the holding ball indications concerning a 2nd holding ball are digested, the unexecuted random number of a 2nd holding ball by the holding ball hit determination means 122 Is determined so that a notice per hit is made.
If comprised in this way, even if there exists a 2nd holding ball display, since the case where the notice per holding ball concerning the 1st holding ball occurs may arise, the 1st holding ball display is a series of games following the 2nd holding ball display. And the player can be further recognized (in other words, illusion).

As described above, the holding ball hit determination means 122 makes a determination using the random number lottery table selected by the lottery table selection means 126 according to the gaming state at that time, so as shown in FIG. When the unexecuted random number held in the holding means 118 is (107), the random number is determined by the high probability random number drawing table (A) selected when the gaming state is a high probability state. (107) is “winning”, but “decreased” when judged by the low probability random number lottery table (B) selected in the normal gaming state. As described above, depending on the random number lottery table to be selected, a situation may occur in which the determination of “win” or “miss” is different.
Here, if the hit determination is made by the holding ball hit determination means 122 when the unexecuted random number (107) is held in the first hold means 118, if the gaming state at that time is a high probability state, Since the determination is made by the high probability random number lottery table (A), the unexecuted random number (107) is determined to be “winning”, and a notice for holding balls is displayed based on the determination.

However, if a notice of hitting of the unexecuted random number (107) is displayed in the determination at this time, the second special symbol is retained while the unexecuted random number (107) is held in the first holding means 118. If the unexecuted random number related to the second special symbol is preferentially processed and the unexecuted random number related to the second special symbol becomes a hit random number and the gaming state returns to the low probability state (in fact, the gaming state has a high probability) The probability of such a case being high due to the frequently performed second special symbol drawing is high), and the random number drawing table used for the actual hit determination of the unexecuted random number (107) has a low probability. Since the random number lottery table (B) is used, there will be a discrepancy between the notice display for the holding ball hit that has already been made and the actual hit determination.
However, in the present invention, when the execution of the fluctuation display of the unexecuted random numbers held in the second holding means 119 is completed (in many cases, this time is the time when the time reduction state is ended). Since the lottery table selected in (1) is used to determine the holding ball hitting, the holding ball hitting judgment and the actual hitting judgment often use the same random number lottery table, and such a flaw occurs. Fear can be avoided as much as possible.
Therefore, since the reliability of the advance notice per hold ball can be increased, the player can be more closely watched the advance notice per hold ball, and the pachinko gaming machine can be more interesting.

Next, the reserved ball notice display operation of the pachinko gaming machine configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
When a game ball wins at the first start winning opening, a random number is acquired by the random number acquisition unit 113, and a determination is made by the random determination unit 114 whether or not the acquired random number is a random number that becomes a “big hit”. The (S1)
When the random number is not a big hit random number, a normal off process is performed. (S1-NO)
If the random number is a big hit (S1-YES), whether or not the random number should be displayed as a pending ball as an unexecuted random number, that is, the first special symbol display means 310 or the second special symbol display. It is determined whether the means 311 is in a variable display. (S2)
When none of the special symbols is changing (S2-NO), since it is a hit that is not displayed as a reserved ball, a special symbol change corresponding to that hit is immediately made without displaying the reserved ball. (S2-NO)
If any of the special symbols is changing (S2-YES), it is displayed as a holding ball, so the corresponding random number is temporarily stored in the first holding means 118 as an unexecuted random number. This is because the reservation ball hitting notice display based on the determination of the holding ball hit determination means 122, the change display by the first special symbol changing means 310 and the effect image display means 318, etc. based on the determination by the success / failure drawing means 114 are performed later. Is read out.
Next, the notice lottery means 123 draws whether or not the reserved ball display should be immediately set as the notice display. (S3)
When the lottery by the notice lottery means 123 is won (S3-YES), the hold ball display by the first hold ball display means 316 is immediately displayed by the notice means 319 for the hold ball by the notice means 319. A notice is displayed as a display. (S10)
When it is out of the lottery by the notice lottery means 123 (S3-NO), it is determined whether the special symbol variation performed at that time is the first special symbol variation or the second special symbol variation. . (S4)
If the special symbol variation performed at this time (S4) is due to the second special symbol (S5), whether or not an unexecuted random number is stored in the second holding unit 119 by the holding ball digesting unit 121 It is determined whether or not. (S6)
As a result of the determination, if it is confirmed that there is no unexecuted random number in the second holding means 119 (S6-NO), the fact that the second special symbol variation performed at that time ends will be related to the second special symbol. Since all the reserved balls have been consumed, the fluctuation display control means 115 determines whether or not the second special symbol fluctuation display ends. (S7)
Next, when the variation display of the second special symbol display means 311 is finished (S7-YES), the reserved ball digesting means 121 reads the unexecuted random number of the first holding means 118, and the gaming state at that time is changed. In response, using the lottery table selected by the lottery table selecting means 126, the reserved ball hit judging means 122 judges whether or not there is a hit in the unexecuted random number. The holding ball hitting notice means 319 or the holding ball display variable notice means 320 is controlled to notify the player in advance that there is a hit in the holding ball. (S10)
When the special symbol variation display performed at the time of S4 is based on the first special symbol (S8), the winning notice display is performed when the variation display of the first special symbol variation means 310 is completed. If there is a second hold ball during the fluctuation display (S9-YES), at the time when the fluctuation display of the unexecuted random numbers related to the second hold ball is completed (S7-YES), Using the lottery table selected by the lottery table selection means 126 according to the game state of the game, the hold ball hit determination means 122 determines whether or not the hold ball in the first hold means is hit. If any, inform the player. (S10)
