Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine equipped with a variable winning device.

As is well known, pachinko gaming machines conventionally known as “Hikoki” or “wings” are provided with a variable winning device consisting of a pair of blades (movable pieces) on a game board, When the game ball wins, the solenoid is operated to open and close the blades of the variable winning device once or twice, so that the game ball flowing down the game board surface is captured and guided into the variable winning device. A specific area called a V zone is provided inside the variable winning device, and if a game ball that has won the variable winning device further passes through the specific region, a big hit occurs.
In the big hit state, as the first round, the blade is opened for a predetermined period by the operation of the solenoid, or is continuously opened or closed until a predetermined number of game balls are detected in the predetermined period, or predetermined Open / close continuously for a number of times (for example, 18 times). Then, the second round is continuously started according to the content of the winning jackpot, and the continuous opening and closing of the blades is further repeated. The same is repeated until the predetermined number of rounds (up to 16 rounds depending on the content of the winning jackpot). Thus, a large number of game balls can be acquired during the jackpot period.
As a prior document, there is Patent Document 1.

However, the pachinko gaming machine as described above has a relatively small number of balls that can be obtained in one big hit game. In addition, among the gaming machines as described above, there are known gaming machines that have been given time-reduced (hereinafter referred to as “short-time”) games as bonus games after the end of the jackpot game. Since it is the same as during a normal game, the probability of consecutive winning of jackpots is low compared to a pachinko gaming machine having a probability variation function as a bonus game. For this reason, with this type of pachinko machine, it has been difficult to obtain a large number of balls in a short time.
The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of acquiring a large number of balls in a short time.

That is, the first form of the present invention includes a first starting area through which a game ball can pass, and a first symbol display means for variably displaying the first symbol as the game ball passes through the first starting area; A first variable winning device capable of changing from a closed state in which a game ball is difficult to win to an open state in which it is easy to win, a specific region provided in the first variable winning device, and a second starting region through which a game ball can pass And a second symbol display means for variably displaying the second symbol as the game ball passes through the second starting area, and a second variation capable of changing from a closed state where the game ball is difficult to win to an open state where the game ball is easy to win. A winning device, a third symbol display means for variably displaying the third symbol by winning a game ball in the second variable winning device, and a predetermined symbol is stopped and displayed on the second symbol display means during a normal game. As a result, the second variable winning device is changed to the open state for a first predetermined time. A first auxiliary opening / closing game control means for executing the first auxiliary opening / closing game, and a predetermined symbol is stopped and displayed on the third symbol display means, so that the first variable prize-winning device is kept open for a second predetermined time. A main opening / closing game control means for executing a main opening / closing game to be changed, and a predetermined symbol when a predetermined symbol is stopped and displayed on the first symbol display means or when a game ball passes through the specific area during the main opening / closing game. A jackpot game control means for executing a jackpot game, a time-short game generating means for generating a time-short game for a predetermined period after the jackpot game is ended, and a predetermined symbol is stopped and displayed by the second symbol display means during the time-short game. As a result, the second auxiliary opening / closing game is executed for changing the second variable prize-winning device to the open state for a third predetermined time longer than the first predetermined time. The second auxiliary opening / closing game control means, and when the game ball is won in the second variable winning device during the display of the third symbol and during the jackpot game, a predetermined number is set as an upper limit. Fluctuation display holding means for holding the right of variable display, and a jackpot game number counting means for counting the number of jackpot games executed during the time-saving game, wherein the time-short game generating means is the specific The first generating means for generating a short-time game for the first period after the jackpot game executed by passing the game ball through the area, and the predetermined symbol is stopped and displayed on the first symbol display means. Second generating means for generating a time-saving game of the first period after the jackpot game ends, and the first generating means is configured by the jackpot game number counting means. When the counted number of jackpot games reaches a preset number, the time symbol game is not generated after the jackpot game ends, and the third symbol display means holds the variable display hold means after the jackpot game ends. The third symbol is variably displayed with respect to the right of the variably displayed third symbol.

In the gaming machine of the present invention, once the time-short game for the first period occurs, the time-short game for the first period occurs until the number of jackpot games reaches a preset number. It becomes possible to acquire a ball.
Further, in the gaming machine of the present invention, there is provided a holding means for holding the right to display the third symbol in a variable manner when the game ball wins the second variable winning device while the third symbol display means displays the variable. Yes. When configured in this way, when the short-time game is finished and the game is shifted to the normal game, the right to change and display the third symbol is held on the holding means. The main opening / closing game advantageous to the player is continued as many as the number of holdings held in the holding means.
Therefore, if you win the jackpot again during this main opening and closing game period, the probability of winning the jackpot game continuously increases until the preset number of time-saving games in the first period again after the jackpot game ends, We can expect to get more balls in a short time.

The first opening / closing game control means 21 opens the movable pieces 3L, 3R of the upper prize winning device 2 for a predetermined time (for example, 0.4 seconds) by stopping and displaying predetermined symbols on the first special symbol display 10. A first opening / closing game (normal game) to be changed to a state is executed.
The second opening / closing game control means 22 puts the electric chew 7 in the open state for a first predetermined time (for example, 0.1 second) by stopping and displaying a predetermined symbol on the normal symbol display 11 during the normal game. A second opening / closing game to be changed is executed.
The third opening / closing game control means 23 displays the predetermined symbol on the second special figure display 12 so that the upper prize winning device 2 is displayed for a second predetermined time (for example, 0.8) longer than the predetermined time. Second), the third open / close game to be changed to the open state is executed.

The jackpot game control means 24 stops the first special symbol or the second special symbol of the first special symbol display 10 or the second special symbol display 12 at a predetermined jackpot symbol during the first or third open / close game. Or the first special symbol or the second special symbol on the first special symbol display 10 or the second special symbol indicator 12 stops at a predetermined small hit symbol, and the movable pieces 3L, 3R of the top prize winning device 2 When a game ball that has won a prize in the top prize winning device 2 when the opening / closing operation is performed passes through the specific area 4, a predetermined jackpot game is executed.
Therefore, the jackpot game control means 24 includes a first jackpot game control means 30 and a second jackpot game control means 31.
The first jackpot game control means 30 is when the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 10 stops at a predetermined jackpot symbol when the first opening / closing game control means 21 is executing the first opening / closing game. Alternatively, when the game ball won during the opening operation of the upper prize device 2 executed when the first special symbol of the first special symbol display 10 stops at a predetermined small winning symbol passes the specific area 4 Run the first jackpot game.

As the first jackpot game, for example, a period in which the movable pieces 3L, 3R of the upper prize winning device 2 are opened and closed a predetermined number of times (for example, 18 times), or a predetermined number (for example, nine) game balls in the upper prize winning device 2 A round operation in which the period until winning is 1 round is repeated 2 rounds (2R).

When a game ball wins the lower grand prize device 8, for example, 15 prize balls are paid out per winning.

The time-short game generating means 25 generates a predetermined number of time-short games after the end of the jackpot game. For example, either the first short time game (100 times) or the second short time game (0 times) having a smaller number of games than the first short time game is generated.
The fourth open / close game control means 26 displays the electric chew 7 for a third time longer than the first predetermined time (for example, 0.1 second) by stopping and displaying the predetermined symbol on the normal symbol display 11 during the short-time game. A fourth opening / closing game for changing to the open state is executed for a predetermined time (for example, 2.1 seconds).
The jackpot game number counting means 27 counts the number of second jackpot games in which the time-short game after the end of the second jackpot game is the first time-short game among the second jackpot games executed during the third opening / closing game. .

The short-time game period selection means 28 selects any one of the short-time games among a plurality of short-time game periods (first short-time game (100 times) and second short-time game (0 times)).
The short-time game period selection unit 28 includes a short-time game period adjustment unit 32 and a limiter unit 33.
The short time game period adjusting means 32 sets the ratio of the short time game period generated after the end of the second jackpot game as the first short time game period as the first short time game period. Adjust it so that it is higher than the percentage you want. For example, if the ratio of the short time game period after the end of the second jackpot game to the first short time game period (100 times) is “1”, the short time game period after the end of the first jackpot game is set to the first short time game period. The ratio is set to “1/8”.
The limiter means 33 is compulsorily applied to the second short-time game in which the number of time-saving games is 0 when the number of jackpot games counted by the jackpot game-number counting means 27 reaches a preset number (for example, 5 times). Select
The symbol display control means 29 performs display control of the first special symbol display 10, the second special symbol display 12, and the normal symbol display 11.
Further, the RAM 114 of the game control board 111 includes a first special figure holding means 41, a second special figure holding means 42 and a normal symbol holding means 43 as the holding means 40.
The first special symbol holding means 41 holds the right to variably display the first special symbol, for example, up to four when a game ball is won at the first starting port 5 while the first special symbol is variably displayed. .
The second special symbol holding means 42 holds the right to variably display the second special symbol, for example, up to four when a game ball is won in the electric chew 7 while the second special symbol is variably displayed.
The normal symbol holding means 43 holds the right to variably display the normal symbol, for example, up to four when the game ball passes the gate 6 while the normal symbol is variably displayed.

Next, the gaming operation of the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment will be described.
First, during a normal game, when a game ball wins the first start opening 5, a winning lottery and a short-time lottery for a bonus game are performed. As a result of the winning lottery, when the winning is won, the symbol display control means 29 displays the big winning symbol on the first special symbol display 10, and the second big hit game control means 31 opens the door of the lower big prize winning device 8 A second jackpot game is executed. As the second jackpot game, for example, until the door of the lower prize-winning device 8 is opened for a certain period or until a predetermined number (for example, nine) of game balls wins in the lower prize-winning device 8 An opening operation with a period of 1 round is repeated 15 rounds. When a game ball wins the lower grand prize device 8, for example, 15 prize balls are paid out per winning.

On the other hand, as a result of the winning lottery when the game ball is won at the first start opening 5, if the winning is a small winning, the symbol display control means 29 displays the small winning symbol on the first special figure display 10, and the first The 1 open / close game control means 21 executes a first open / close game in which the movable pieces 3L, 3R of the top prize winning device 2 are changed to an open state for a predetermined number of times (for example, once) for a predetermined time (for example, 0.4 seconds).
When a game ball won in the top prize winning device 2 during the first opening / closing game passes the specific area 4, the first big hit game control means 30 of the big hit game control means 24 is moved to the movable piece 3L of the top big prize winning device 2. A first jackpot game that opens and closes 3R is executed.
After the jackpot game is over, based on the selection result of the time-short game period selection means 28, the time-short game generating means 25 is the first time-short game (100 times) or the second number of games less than the first time-short game. One of the short-time games (0 times) is generated.
Specifically, when the game ball won in the upper grand prize winning device 2 passes through the specific area 4 during the normal game (during the first opening / closing game), the short-time game period selecting means 28 is configured to execute the game after the first big hit game ends. The first short-time game (100 times) is selected at a rate of 1/8. In addition, when the big win is won in the normal game win lottery, the first short-time game (100 times) is selected after the second big win game ends.

On the other hand, when the game ball passes through the gate 6 shown in FIG. 2 and the symbol of the normal symbol display 11 is stopped by the symbol in the short-time game, the electric chew 7 has a longer time than the first predetermined time. 3 for a predetermined time (eg, 2.1 seconds).
Even when a game ball wins the open electric Chu 7, a winning lottery and a short-time lottery are performed, and if the winning lottery is won as a result of the winning lottery, the symbol display control means 29 wins the second special figure display 12. While displaying symbols, the second jackpot game control means 31 executes a second jackpot game in which the open / close door of the lower prize winning device 8 is opened.
On the other hand, when the winning lottery is won, the symbol display control means 29 displays the small winning symbol on the second special symbol display 12. In addition, the third open / close game control means 23 moves the movable pieces 3L, 3R of the top prize winning device 2 a predetermined number of times (for example, once) for a first predetermined time (for example, 0.4 seconds) longer than the predetermined time (for example, 0.4 seconds). 0.8 seconds), the third open / close game to be changed to the open state is executed. When a game ball won in the upper prize winning device 2 during the third opening / closing game passes the specific area 4, the second big hit game control means 31 plays a second big hit game that opens the opening / closing door of the lower big prize winning device 8. Run.
After the second jackpot game is over, if the second jackpot game number counted by the jackpot game number counting means 27 has not reached a preset number (for example, five times), the short time game period selecting means 28 is almost The first short-time game (100 times) is selected at a rate of 100%. On the other hand, when the second jackpot game number counted by the jackpot game number counting means 27 reaches a preset number (for example, five times), the hourly game period selection means 28 selects the second hourly game (0 times). Is selected. That is, the time-shifted game state is forcibly shifted to the normal game state.
It should be noted that, for example, even if the jackpot is not won during the 100 short-time game periods, the short-time game state shifts to the normal game state.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when the first jackpot game or the second jackpot game is won during the normal game, and the first time-short game is selected as the time-short game after the jackpot game ends, For the set number of times (five times), the ratio of selecting the first short-time game as the short-time game after the end of the jackpot game won during the short-time game is increased. In this way, since the probability of winning the second jackpot game continuously for a predetermined number of times set in advance increases, it is possible to acquire a large number of balls in a short time.
Further, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when the second special figure display unit 12 displays the variation, the right to display the second special symbol in a variable manner, for example, up to four when a game ball is won in the electric chew 7 is displayed. A second special figure holding means 42 for holding is provided. In such a configuration, when the second jackpot game is won continuously for a preset number of times (five times) and the limiter is activated to shift from the short-time game state to the normal game state, the second special figure is displayed. The right to variably display the second special symbol on the holding means 42 is in a holding state. Therefore, for example, even if the limiter means 33 is activated to shift from the short-time game to the base game, the gaming state advantageous to the player is as many as the number of holdings held in the second special figure holding means 42 (for example, four times). That is, the third opening / closing game having a high ratio of selecting the first short-time game is continued. Therefore, if the big win is won again during the third open / close game period, the probability of winning the second big hit game again in succession by the preset number of times (5 times) is increased, so that it can be further improved in a short time. You can expect to win a ball.

Furthermore, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when the game board 1 is provided with two big winning devices 2 and 8 having different numbers of prize balls, and a game ball is detected by the upper big winning port SW2a of the upper big winning device 2. The first predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls is paid out, and when the lower large winning port SW8a detects a gaming ball, the second predetermined number larger than the first predetermined number is detected. The drive control is performed by adjusting the number of payouts so that (for example, 15) game balls are paid out. Accordingly, it is possible to increase the number of balls that can be acquired with a jackpot during the second opening / closing game (during the short-time game) than the number of balls that can be acquired with a jackpot during the first opening / closing game (during the normal game). Therefore, if winning big hits continuously in a short-time game, it is possible to obtain a large number of balls in a short time.
In the present embodiment, the case where the number of consecutive big hits is set to 5 by the limiter unit 33 has been described as an example, but this is only an example, and the set number can be arbitrarily set. In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the two big winning devices 2 and 8 are provided, but the big winning device 8 is not necessarily provided.

In addition, the pachinko gaming machine described above has a limiter function that limits the number of consecutive wins in the second jackpot game during the short-time game, but it is also possible to have a configuration without such a limiter function. is there.
Such a pachinko gaming machine includes a jackpot game number counting means 27 for counting the number of second jackpot games executed during the third opening / closing game (short-time game) from the pachinko gaming machine, and the jackpot game number counting means 27. When the number of jackpot games counted by the above reaches a preset number of times, the limiter means 33 for setting the number of short-time games to 0 can be deleted.
In the pachinko gaming machine having the limiter function, the short time game period selection means 28 selects the first short time game (100 times) at a rate of almost 100% during the short time game. On the other hand, in the case of a pachinko gaming machine that does not have a limiter function, the rate at which the short-time game period selection means 28 selects the first short-time game (100 times) in the short-time game is lower than 100%, for example, 90 to 95. It is preferable to set it to about%, or to set the jackpot winning probability of the top prize winning port 2 to be lower than that of a pachinko gaming machine having a limiter function.

Even in a pachinko machine that does not have a limiter function in this way, when the first jackpot game or the second jackpot game is won during the normal game, and the first short-time game is selected as the short-time game after the jackpot game ends, As the time-saving game after the end of the jackpot game won during the time-saving game, the ratio of selecting the first time-saving game is made high. In this way, the probability of winning the second jackpot game continuously increases, and it becomes possible to acquire a large number of balls in a short time.
Further, in this case, the right to variably display the second special symbol on the second special figure holding means 42 is on hold at the time when the short-time game ends and shifts to the normal game. Even if it shifts to, the 3rd opening / closing game with a high ratio with which the 1st time-saving game is selected is continued by the number of holding | maintenance hold | maintained by the 2nd special figure reservation means 42. FIG.
Accordingly, if the jackpot is won again during the third open / close game period, the probability of winning the jackpot game again is increased, so it can be expected that more balls will be obtained in a short time.

The following is a flowchart showing the processing executed by the game control board of the game control device in order to realize the operation of the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment described so far. Here, the processing of a pachinko gaming machine having a limiter function will be described.

Thereafter, the gaming state is set to the normal gaming state (S79), the second jackpot operation (15R jackpot operation) is started (S76), and the opening is set (S71).
If it is determined in step S62 that the valid time of the V zone 4 has elapsed (S62: Yes), it is determined whether or not the count value J of the time reduction counter is “0” (S80). When it is determined that the count value J of the counter is “0” (S80: Yes), the process returns to the main process. When it is determined that the count value J is not “0” (S80: No), from the count value J "1" is subtracted (S81). Thereafter, it is determined again whether or not the count value J is “0” (S82). When it is determined that the count value J is “0” (S82: Yes), the gaming state is changed to the normal gaming state. (S83), the process returns to the main process. When it is determined that the count value J is not "0" (S82: No), the process returns to the main process without setting the normal gaming state.

[Special map processing]
FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the special figure changing process executed by the main CPU.
In addition, the function of the symbol display control means 29 is implement | achieved by the process shown in this figure.
In this case, the main CPU 112 determines whether or not it is a big hit or a small hit (S161), and if it is determined that it is not a big hit or a small hit (S161: No), the first special figure display 10 or It is determined whether or not the first or second special symbol displayed on the second special figure display 12 is changing (S162). If it is determined that the first or second special symbol is changing (S162: Yes), it is then determined whether or not the variable time has ended (S163), and it is determined that the variable time has ended. In this case (S163: Yes), a change stop command is transmitted to the first special figure display 10 or the second special figure display 12 (S164), and the change is ended (S165). Next, the variation time is reset (S166), the special figure stoppage process (S167) is executed, and then the process returns to the main process.
Note that if it is determined in step S161 that a big hit or a small hit is being made (S161: Yes), or if it is determined in step S163 that the variation time has not ended (S163: No), the process returns to the main process. .

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S162 that the first or second special symbol is not changing (S162: No), the count value U2 of the second start port detection counter that counts the number of times the second start port SW7a is detected. Whether or not U2 ≧ 1 is determined (S168). If it is determined that the count value U2 is ≧ 1 (S168: Yes), the count value U2 is subtracted by “1” (S169). Then, the variation content selection process is executed (S170).
Next, a fluctuation start command is transmitted to the corresponding special figure display (in this case, the second special figure display 12) (S171), and the fluctuation of the corresponding special figure display is started (S172). Thereafter, measurement of the fluctuation time is started (S173), and then the process returns to the main process.
If it is determined in step S168 that the count value U2 is not ≧ 1 (S168: No), then the count value U1 of the first start port detection counter that counts the number of times the first start port SW5a is detected is U1. It is determined whether or not ≧ 1 (S174). If it is determined that the count value U1 is ≧ 1 (S174: Yes), “1” is subtracted from the count value U1 (S175), and the fluctuation contents A selection process is executed (S170). In this case, since the corresponding special figure indicator becomes the first special figure indicator 10, a fluctuation start command is transmitted to the first special figure indicator 10 to start the fluctuation of the first special figure indicator 10. The measurement of the variation time is started (S171 to S173).

[Special figure stop processing]
FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the special chart stop process executed by the main CPU.
In this case, the main CPU 112 determines whether or not the stopped special symbol is a jackpot symbol (S181). If the stop symbol is a jackpot symbol (S181: Yes), the time value counter is set to "100" (S182) and set to the time-short game state in order to always give 100 time-short games. (S183). Thereafter, a second jackpot for opening the lower prize-winning device 8 is started (S184), an opening is set (S185), and the process returns to the main process.
On the other hand, if the stop symbol is not a jackpot symbol in step S181 (S181: No), it is determined whether or not the special symbol stopped next is a jackpot symbol (S186), and the stop symbol is a jackpot symbol. If there is any (S186: Yes), it is determined whether or not it is a small hit via the first start port 5 (S187). When it is determined that it is a small hit via the first start port 5 (S187: Yes), the opening time of the movable pieces 3L, 3R is set to 0.4 seconds (S188), and the small pass via the first start port 5 is set. When it is determined that it is not a hit (S187: No), the opening time of the movable pieces 3L, 3R is set to 0.8 seconds (S189), and a small hit is started (S190). Thereafter, the process returns to the main process.
If the stopped special symbol is not a small hit symbol (S186: No), it is determined whether or not the value of the hour / hour counter J is “0” (S191), and the value of the hour / hour counter J is “0”. If so (S191: Yes), the process returns to the main process. If the value of the hour / hour counter J is not “0”, the hour / hour count J is decremented by “1” (S192). Thereafter, it is determined again whether or not the short time count value J is “0” (S193). If the short time count value J is “0” (S193: Yes), the gaming state is set to the normal gaming state. The process returns to the main process (S194). If the hourly count value J is not “0” (S193: No), the process returns to the main process without setting the normal gaming state.

If the electric chew 7 is not in operation (S201: No), whether or not the normal symbol is changing. Is determined (S202). If it is determined that the normal symbol is changing (S202: Yes), it is then determined whether or not the change time has ended (S203). If it is determined that the change time has ended (S203: Yes) ), The fluctuation is stopped (S204).
Next, the variation time is reset (S205), and it is determined whether or not the stop symbol is a winning symbol (S206). When it is determined that the stop symbol is a winning symbol (S206: Yes), the operation of the electric chew 7 is started (S207), and the process returns to the main process.
In step S206, if the stop symbol is not a winning symbol (S206: No), the process returns to the main process without operating the electric chew 7.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S202 that the normal symbol is not changing (S202: No), it is determined whether the count value G of the gate counter of the gate SW 6a is G ≧ 1 (S208), When the count value G is ≧ 1 (S208: Yes), “1” is subtracted from the count value G (S209). Thereafter, the variation of the normal symbol display 11 is started (S210), and the measurement of the variation time is started (S210). After starting measurement of the fluctuation time, the process returns to the main process.
If it is determined in step S208 that the count value G is not ≧ 1 (S208: No), the process returns to the main process.

[Normal electric character processing]
FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing an example of a normal power combination process executed by the CPU.
The functions of the second opening / closing game control means 22 and the fourth opening / closing game control means 26 are realized by the processing shown in FIG.
In this case, the main CPU 112 determines whether or not the electric chew 7 is in operation (S221). If the electric chew 7 is in operation (S221: Yes), it is next determined whether or not it is in the interval. Is determined (S222). Here, when it is determined that the interval is in progress (S222: Yes), it is determined whether or not the interval time has elapsed (S223), and when it is determined that the interval time has elapsed (S223: Yes). Next, it is determined whether or not the time is short (S224). If the time is short (S224: Yes), the opening time of the electric Chu 7 is set to 2.1 seconds (S225). If the time is not short (S224: No), the opening time of the electric Chu 7 is set to 0. Set to 1 second (S226). Thereafter, the electric chew 7 is opened (S227).
Next, it is determined whether or not the opening time of the electric chew 7 has elapsed (S228). If it is determined that the opening time of the electric chew 7 has elapsed (S228: Yes), the electric chew 7 is closed. (S229) The operation of the electric Chu 7 is terminated (S230), and the process returns to the main process.
If it is determined in step S222 that the interval is not in progress (S222: No), the process proceeds to step S228.
If it is determined in step S221 that the electric chew 7 is not operating (S221: No), if it is determined in step S223 that the interval time has not elapsed (S226: No), or if the electric chew 7 is determined in step S228. If it is determined that the opening time has not elapsed (S228: No), the process returns to the main process.
