Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko machine that uses a game ball to play a game.

  Generally, a pachinko machine has a special symbol display device that displays a special symbol in a game area in the game board, a production symbol display device that displays a predetermined effect, and a special winning opening (start) that triggers an electronic lottery related to the special symbol. Mouth) etc. are provided, and when a game ball launched towards the game area wins this special winning opening, an electronic lottery related to the special symbol is performed and the special symbol is changed in the special symbol display device The result of the electronic lottery is notified by displaying an aspect such as stopping later. If the result of the electronic lottery is a big win, the special symbol indicating the big win is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device, and the jackpot gaming state advantageous to the player is entered. In this jackpot game state, the game ball enters the big winning opening that is exposed by opening and closing the attacker device a predetermined number of times, so that the player can acquire many prize balls.

  In addition, when a game ball wins a specific winning slot while the special symbol is changing, a reserved ball random number storage unit (with a predetermined number (for example, four) as an upper limit of a predetermined number (for example, four) as a reserved ball random number Memory). When the special symbol related to the current game stops and the result of the electronic lottery is finalized, the stored ball random numbers stored in the stored ball random number storage unit are sequentially read out and the hit of the held ball random numbers is determined, The result is displayed by changing and stopping the special symbol, and the game based on the reserved ball random number is advanced.

  In the period from when this special symbol is changed to when it is stopped, it usually displays various types of effects (such as variable display using effects and symbols for effects) and notice effects (possibility of jackpots) A notice that suggests the possibility of advancement or a notice that suggests the possibility of developing into a reach or super reach, etc.) is displayed, and the player enjoys the game while being amazed at the display of these effect modes and notice effects.

  By the way, the production mode and the notice production are all determined at the time of starting the game. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for determining a notice effect corresponding to the jackpot reliability based on the winning of a game ball at a start winning opening. Patent Document 2 discloses a technique for performing a lottery by a lottery means when a game ball has won a winning prize opening, determining a variation pattern by lottery, and performing an effect corresponding to the determined variation pattern number. It is disclosed.

  Since the techniques described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 both determine all the play modes and the notice effect related to the game at the start of the game, a certain notice effect is displayed for a skilled player. Or watching how the performance changes, it is easy to predict the likelihood of a jackpot for the game, and the interest in the game is reduced There was a problem such as.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and its purpose is that it is difficult to predict the outcome of a game even if the effect mode and the notice effect are the same, and the player can play a game. The aim is to provide a pachinko machine that can sustain expectations.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a game board having a game area where game balls flow down, a start opening provided in the game area, an effect display device for displaying effects related to a game, and the start In response to the winning of a game ball in the mouth, a main control processing unit that controls the game by performing an electronic lottery related to a special symbol, and receives a command from the main control processing unit to display the effect display device. A sub-control processing unit for controlling, and the main control processing unit is a means for performing electronic lottery, a special symbol random number generating means for generating a special symbol random number, and the special symbol random number generation Special symbol random number acquisition means for acquiring one random number from among the special symbol random numbers generated by the means when a game ball has won at the starting port, and the special symbol acquired by the special symbol random number acquisition means Abuse Each time the special symbol random number acquisition unit acquires the special symbol random number, the electronic lottery unit configured to include the special symbol validity determination unit that determines whether the symbol is a big hit or not A variation pattern command determination unit that determines a variation pattern command based on a random number and transmits the variation pattern command to the sub-control processing unit, and when the lottery result by the electronic lottery unit is a big hit, it is advantageous to the player compared to a normal game A jackpot game control means for providing a jackpot game is included, and the sub-control processing unit stores an effect mode storage unit in which a plurality of types of effect modes and notice effects are stored, and the effect mode storage unit. An effect mode determining means for determining an effect mode used for a game from a plurality of types of effect modes based on the variation pattern command, and the effect mode determining means determined In a pachinko machine including an effect display control unit that controls to display an output mode on the effect display device, the sub-control processing unit determines a disclosure range of information related to the effect mode determined by the effect mode determining unit. Information disclosure determining means, and based on the disclosure range determined by the information disclosure determining means, a notice effect determining means for determining a notice effect to be used for the game from the plurality of types of notice effects, and the notice effect determining means A notice effect display control means for controlling the decided notice effect to be displayed on the effect display device, and according to the disclosure range, the decision object of the notice effect decision means among the plural kinds of notice effects It is characterized in that there is a restriction on the notice production.

  According to the present invention, the same notice effect is displayed on the effect display device because the notice effect to be determined by the notice effect determining means is limited according to the disclosure range determined by the information disclosure determining means. However, it is difficult for the player to predict whether or not the current game is a big hit by looking at the notice effect. This is because the player knows whether all the information about the production mode has been disclosed and the preliminary production has been decided, or because only a part of the production mode has been disclosed. Because you can't.

  This will be described with a specific example. For example, when a notice effect indicating that a reach is to be performed (reach confirmation notice) is displayed on the effect display device, in the present invention, two things can be considered when the reach confirmation notice is displayed. One is that the current game is a big hit, and it is decided that a performance mode that will be developed into so-called super reach after the reach has been performed as the performance mode will be performed in this game. Since the information disclosure determining means has determined that only the range up to the information indicating that the reach, which is a part of the information, is to be disclosed, the reach confirmation notice has been displayed based on the determination. It can be considered. The other is that the game this time is a loss, it is determined that the reach is performed as the production mode, and the information that the reach that is all information of the production mode is performed is determined by the information disclosure determination means as the disclosure range Therefore, it may be possible that a reach confirmation notice is displayed based on the decision.

  Then, in the past, the player could hardly have expected the big hit in the announcement effect to the extent that the reach confirmation notice was displayed, but in the present invention, even if the same reach confirmation notice is displayed, the player Since the disclosure range determined by the information disclosure determining means is not known, the possibility of jackpot is greatly expected. In this way, in the present invention, the notice effect to be determined by the notice effect determining means depends on the disclosure range determined by the information disclosure determining means, so even if the same notice effect is displayed, the player It becomes difficult to predict whether this game is a big hit or a loss, and the interest in the game will continue as compared to conventional pachinko machines.

  In the present invention, the “information relating to the production mode” can also be referred to as information about the configuration of the production mode. For example, the information related to the performance aspect of the present invention includes information that the reach is performed in the current game, information that the game is developed into a super reach after the reach, information that a jackpot display is displayed, and the like.

  In the above-described configuration, the present invention is configured such that one production mode is formed by connecting a plurality of production blocks having different production contents, and the information on the production mode is information on the plurality of production blocks. The disclosure range is a range of how many effect blocks of the plurality of effect blocks are disclosed, and the plurality of types of notice effects correspond to each of the plurality of effect blocks in advance. A plurality of block notice effects, and the information disclosure deciding means is determined by the notice effect determining means among the plurality of block notice effects according to how far the effect block is disclosed. The block notice effect is limited, and the notice effect determining means is determined by the information disclosure determining means as the disclosure range. The block notice effect for the block corresponding to the block notice effect is determined, and the notice effect display control means determines the block notice effect for the block decided by the notice effect decision means as the effect block corresponding to the block notice effect. It is preferable to display while being displayed on the effect display device. According to this configuration, there is an advantage that control can be performed in units of effect blocks, and control can be simplified.

  Further, according to the present invention, in the above configuration, when the disclosure range determined by the information disclosure determination unit is a part of the plurality of effect blocks, the information disclosure determination unit corresponds to the disclosure range. Until the production of the production block ends, the range of the production blocks to be disclosed among the remaining production blocks is re-determined. The block notice effect corresponding to the re-determined effect block is redetermined, and the notice effect display control means corresponds to the block notice effect produced by the notice effect determination means and the block notice effect corresponding to the block notice effect. It is preferable to display the effect block while it is displayed on the effect display device. According to this configuration, in the middle of the display of the production mode, the announcement production can be redetermined according to the redetermined disclosure range, and the redetermined announcement production can be displayed. There is an advantage that the taste is improved.

  Further, in the above-described configuration, the present invention is the normal variation that is performed between the plurality of effect blocks after all the symbols start changing and after all the other symbols stop after leaving one symbol. Reach effect block that indicates that there is a possibility of a big hit, which is performed when the effect block and the normal variation effect block are in a reach state where all the other symbols stop with the same symbol except for one symbol And this reach production block, a super reach production block that suggests that the possibility of a big hit is higher than the reach production block, and a symbol stop production that all the symbols stop and display the result of the game It is preferable to include a block. According to this configuration, since it is possible to determine the notice effect and control the display in units of the effect blocks that are familiar to the user, the control is simplified and there is no sense of incongruity with the timing at which the notice effect is displayed. There are advantages.

  According to the present invention, even if the same notice effect is displayed, it is difficult to predict the game result by looking at the notice effect. Therefore, the player can maintain the interest in the game until the end, and the preference of the game is enhanced.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, a special symbol lottery unit (electronic lottery means) 110 for performing electronic lottery related to a special symbol when a game ball wins a winning winning opening 37a, 37b, and this special lottery A special symbol determination unit 120a, 120b that determines a special symbol according to the lottery result determined by the symbol lottery unit 110, and a variation pattern command determination unit (variation) for determining a variation pattern command that is a command related to the variation time of the special symbol Pattern command determining means) 130 and a jackpot game control section (a jackpot game control means for switching to a jackpot game by activating the attacker device 41 (solenoid thereof) when the determination of the lottery result by the special symbol lottery section 110 is a jackpot ) 160 and a normal diagram for performing an electronic lottery related to a normal symbol when a game ball passes through the through chucker 21 A lottery unit (normal symbol lottery means) 170, the main control unit 11 and an electric tulip operation control unit 180 that controls the operation of the electric tulip 49 is configured.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the special symbol lottery unit 110 updates the value of the loop counter one by one within a predetermined range based on an interrupt signal periodically input (for example, every 2 milliseconds). A special symbol random number generating unit (special symbol random number generating means) 111 to be generated, and a first special symbol lottery unit for performing a lottery related to the special symbol when a game ball is won in the first start winning opening 37a 119a, and a second special symbol lottery section 119b for performing a lottery related to a special symbol when a game ball is won in the second start winning opening 37b. In other words, in the present embodiment, the special symbol lottery is performed in response to winning the first start winning port 37a, and two special symbols are performed in response to winning the second starting winning port 37b. It has the lottery means concerning.

  The first special symbol lottery unit 119a is a random number (when the detection signal from the start winning port detection sensor 43a is input to the main control processing unit 11) when a game ball has won the first starting winning port 37a. The first special symbol random number obtaining unit (special symbol random number obtaining means) 112a that obtains (latch) one of the symbols and whether or not the random number obtained by the first special symbol random number obtaining unit 112a is a big hit. When the first special symbol success / failure determination unit 113a and the first special symbol random number acquisition unit 112a, which are determined with reference to the one special symbol high probability determination table 116a or the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a, acquire random numbers When the special symbol is changing, a first reserved ball random number storage unit that stores the acquired random number as a reserved ball random number up to four (in other words, up to the upper limit of the predetermined number of four) Comprises a 15a, a. Here, the first special symbol high probability determination table 116a has a higher probability of jackpot than the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a.

  Similarly to the first special symbol lottery unit 119a, the second special symbol lottery unit 119b is triggered by the fact that a game ball has won the second start winning port 37b (the detection signal from the starting winning port detection sensor 43b is the main control process). The second special symbol random number obtaining unit (special symbol random number obtaining means) 112b that obtains (latches) one random number (at the timing input to the unit 11) and the second special symbol random number obtaining unit 112b obtain A second special symbol success / failure determination unit 113b that determines whether or not the random number is a big hit with reference to the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b or the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b, and a second special symbol random number If the special symbol is changing when the acquisition unit 112b acquires a random number, the acquired random number is a maximum of four reserved ball random numbers (in other words, a predetermined number of four upper limits) At) comprises a second hold ball random number memory unit 115b for storing, a. Here, the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b has a higher probability of jackpot than the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b.

  In the present embodiment, there are two jackpots per normal hit and probability variation. In the case of winning a big hit (ordinary win and probable win), the action that the acutter device 41 opens for 30 seconds or until 10 pachinko balls are won is one round. Provided by the jackpot game control unit 160.

  Here, when winning the odds, the game after the jackpot game based on the jackpot ends and until the next jackpot is won is the first special symbol high probability determination table 116a and the first determination table as the determination table to be referred to. 2 The special symbol high probability determination table 116b is referred to (the gaming state is a so-called high probability variation state). On the other hand, if the winning is based on the normal winning, after the jackpot game based on the normal winning is finished, the game is performed with reference to the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a and the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b. (The game state is a so-called normal state). For this reason, it is more advantageous for the player to win the probability change because the first special symbol high probability determination table 116a is referred to in the game after the big hit game than to win the normal win.

  The first special symbol lottery unit 119a and the second special symbol lottery unit 119b only determine whether or not the acquired random number is a big jackpot, that is, what is the type of jackpot, that is, whether the big hit is The first special symbol determination unit 120a and the second special symbol determination unit 120b, which will be described below, perform the determination as to whether the normal hit or the probability change hit.

  The first special symbol determination unit 120a determines the type of the special symbol corresponding to the jackpot when the lottery result by the first special symbol lottery unit 119a is a jackpot. The types of special symbols are associated with the above-mentioned normal hits and probability variations, and when the special symbol type is determined by the first special symbol determining unit 120a, the first special symbol lottery is selected from the special symbol types. The type of jackpot won in the lottery by the part 119a is determined. For example, if the first special symbol lottery unit 119a wins a lottery and the first special symbol determination unit 120a wins a special symbol corresponding to the normal bonus in the lottery, the game's big hit is determined to be a normal hit The game is a big hit game based on the normal hit, that is, a game in which the attacker device 41 is released for 16 rounds, and from the next game after the hit game is finished, the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a and the second special symbol low The probability determination table 117b is referred to. The second special symbol determination unit 120b also determines the type of the special symbol according to the lottery result by the second special symbol lottery unit 119b, similarly to the first special symbol determination unit 120a.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the variation pattern command determination unit (variation pattern command determination unit) 130 generates a variation pattern random number generation unit (variation pattern random number generation unit) that generates a variation pattern random number used to determine a variation pattern command. ) 131, the first variation pattern command determination unit 130a for determining the variation pattern command based on the winning of the game ball in the first start winning opening 37a, and the game ball won in the second start winning opening 37b A second variation pattern command determination unit 130b for determining a variation pattern command based on the above is configured.

  The random number generator for variation pattern 131 updates the value of the loop counter one by one within a predetermined range (from 0 to 9) based on an interrupt signal that is periodically input (for example, every 2 milliseconds). Is generated.

  The first variation pattern command determination unit 130a obtains one random number from among the variation pattern random numbers generated by the variation pattern random number generation unit 131 when a game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a. The first variation pattern random number acquisition unit (variation pattern random number acquisition unit) 132a and the first variation pattern random number storage unit 133a that stores up to four random numbers acquired by the first variation pattern random number acquisition unit 132a. Random number for variation pattern and variation pattern No. And a first variation pattern command table (variation pattern command table) 134a in which a plurality of tables are stored. The variation pattern command determination unit 130a, when one game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a, acquires one random number for variation pattern for the winning, like the first special symbol lottery unit 119a.

  Similarly to the first variation pattern command determination unit 130a, the second variation pattern command determination unit 130b also generates a variation pattern generated by the variation pattern random number generation unit 131 when a game ball is won in the second start winning opening 37b. A random number acquisition unit (variation pattern random number acquisition means) 132b for acquiring one random number from random numbers for random use, and up to four random numbers acquired by the random number acquisition unit for second variation pattern 132b A random number storage unit 133b for second variation pattern to be stored, a random number for variation pattern, and a variation pattern No. And a second variation pattern command table (variation pattern command table) 134b in which a plurality of tables are stored. When one game ball is won in the second start winning opening 37b, the fluctuation pattern command determination unit 130b acquires one random number for the fluctuation pattern for the winning, similarly to the second special symbol lottery part 119b.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the first variation pattern command table 134a includes a winning time table 134a-1 that is referred to when a big win is won in the lottery by the first special symbol lottery unit 119a, and a first special symbol lottery unit. Two tables, a lost time table 134a-2, which is referred to when lost in the lottery by 119b, are stored. Are configured in advance. That is, when the variation pattern random number is determined, the variation pattern No. is determined from the variation pattern random number. The (variation pattern command) is automatically determined. The configuration of the second variation pattern command table 134b is the same as that of the first variation pattern command table 134a, and thus illustration and description thereof are omitted. Here, in the present embodiment, 10 variation pattern random numbers from 0 to 9, variation pattern no. No. 1-No. 10, No. 11-No. However, the number of fluctuation pattern random numbers and the fluctuation pattern No. May be set as appropriate.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the normal symbol lottery unit 170 receives a normal ball random number generator (general symbol random number generator) 171 for generating random numbers and a through ball through the through chucker 21 (through). A normal symbol random number acquisition unit (normal symbol random number acquisition means) 172 that acquires (latches) one random number at a timing when a detection signal from the chucker detection sensor 46 is input to the main control processing unit 11, and the normal symbol The normal symbol success / failure determination unit 173 that determines whether or not the random number acquired by the random number acquisition unit 172 is per ordinary figure is determined when the normal symbol random number acquisition unit 172 acquires random numbers. When the symbol is fluctuating, the normal symbol reserved ball storage unit 174 that stores the acquired random number as the normal symbol reserved ball random number, and the determination table is confirmed to be won for each regular symbol. It is provided with a lower normal symbol low probability determination table 176, and a normal symbol high probability determination table 175 is a high probability to win per Hiroshi view than the normal symbol low probability determination table 176. The normal symbol random number generator 171 generates fewer random numbers than the special symbol random number generator 111, but has the same configuration for generating random numbers.

  The normal symbol high probability determination table 175 indicates that the game from the end of the jackpot game based on the probability change until the next jackpot game (that is, the game in the high probability variation state), and the jackpot game based on the normal hit It is a determination table that is referred to in a time-saving mode (specific game state) game that is performed only 100 times after the game ends.

  The jackpot game control unit 160 performs control so that the attacker device 41 is opened and closed for a predetermined number of rounds. In addition, the electric tulip operation control unit 180 controls the solenoid of the electric tulip 49 to open and close based on a command indicating that the normal symbol lottery unit 170 is elected by the electronic lottery. Here, in a game in which the normal symbol high probability determination table 175 is referred to (a game in a high probability variation state and a game in the 100 time reduction mode), the probability of winning the electronic lottery by the normal symbol lottery unit 170 is high. Therefore, the electric tulip 49 is frequently opened. Therefore, the player can play the game with almost no game balls.

  The main control processing unit 11 configured as described above produces the variation pattern command determined by the first variation pattern command determination unit 130a at the start of the game that is performed when the first start winning opening 37a is won. In addition to being transmitted to the control processing unit 12a, when the lottery by the first special symbol lottery unit 119a is won, a command related to the type of the special symbol determined by the first special symbol determination unit 120a is also transmitted to the effect control processing unit 12a. ing. Similarly, the main control processing unit 11 uses the variation pattern command determined by the second variation pattern command determination unit 130b at the start of the game that is triggered by winning the second start winning opening 37b. 12a, and when the lottery by the second special symbol lottery unit 119b is won, a command related to the type of the special symbol determined by the second special symbol determination unit 120b is also transmitted to the effect control processing unit 12a.

  Here, for convenience of explanation, a command related to a special symbol type and a variation pattern command transmitted from the main control processing unit 11 to the effect control processing unit 12a are simply referred to as a game command in the following description. is there.

  Next, the contents of this game command will be described. The game command is composed of either “No.?” Or “No.?+? Symbol”. Among game commands, “No.?” Indicates a variation pattern command determined by the first variation pattern command determination unit 130a or the second variation pattern command determination unit 130b, and among the game commands, “? The command regarding the kind of special symbol which the symbol determination part 120a or the 2nd special symbol determination part 120b determined is shown.

  Variation pattern No. 1-No. 10 is determined with reference to the hitting table 134a-1 as shown in FIG. 7, each command of “No. 1” to “No. 10” is a hit command, and the variation pattern No. 11-No. 20 is determined with reference to the loss time table 134a-2 as shown in FIG. 7, so that the commands “No. 11” to “No. 20” are loss commands.

  In addition, among the commands related to the special symbol type, “normal symbol” indicates that the symbol is won per normal, and the command “probable variation symbol” indicates that the symbol is elected per probability variation.

  Therefore, if any of “No. 1” to “No. 10” is included in the game command, the game command is a win command, and if the command “? You can see which of the normal wins and probable wins. If the game command includes any of “No. 11” to “No. 20”, it is understood that the game command is a lose command.

  Next, a sub control processing unit that receives various commands (commands) from the main control processing unit 11 and controls various devices will be described. An effect control processing unit 12a, a special symbol display control unit 12b, a lamp control processing unit 12c, a payout control processing unit 12e, and a normal symbol display control unit 12f constituting the sub control processing unit are provided on the back surface of the game board 3 with support members and the like Is a device that controls the effect display device 34, the speaker 20, and other effect devices (such as LED devices) in accordance with the processing information generated by the main control processing unit 11.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the effect control processing unit 12 a is an effect mode determining unit (effect mode determining unit) 210 for determining an effect mode, and the effect mode determined by the effect mode determining unit 210 as a processing unit. An effect display control unit (effect display control unit) 220 that controls to display on the effect display device 34, and an information disclosure determination unit (information disclosure determination unit) that determines a disclosure range of information related to the effect mode determined by the effect mode determination unit 210. ) 230, a notice effect determining unit (notice effect determining means) 240 for determining the notice effect, and a notice effect display control unit (notice effect display control means) 250 for controlling the notice effect to be displayed on the effect display device 34. As a storage unit, an effect mode storage unit 260 that stores a plurality of types of effect patterns (effect modes) and a notice effect is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the effect mode table 261 stored in the effect mode storage unit 260 is used for normal / probability variation that is commonly referred to when the lottery result by the special symbol lottery unit 110 is normal and probable. The table 261a and a losing table 261b that is referred to when the lottery result by the special symbol lottery unit 110 is losing are configured.

  The normal / probability variation table 261a corresponds to each of the game commands “No. 1 + normal symbol” to “No. 10 + normal symbol” and the game commands “No. 1 + probability variation” to “No. 10 + probability variation”. A production pattern is assigned to. Specifically, the variation pattern No. 1 and No. An effect pattern having a variation time of 30 seconds is assigned to game commands including “2”. 3 and no. An effect pattern having a variation time of 45 seconds is assigned to a game command including “4”. 5 and No. An effect pattern having a variation time of 60 seconds is assigned to a game command including “6”. 7 and no. An effect pattern with a fluctuation time of 90 seconds is assigned to game commands including “8”. 9 and no. An effect pattern having a variation time of 120 seconds is assigned to a game command including 10. Each game command is associated with two types of effect patterns. For example, the game command “No. 5 + normal symbol / probability variation symbol” is associated with two types of effect patterns of “super reach A1” with a variation time of 60 seconds and “super reach A2” with a variation time of 60 seconds. .

  On the other hand, in the lose table 261b, an effect pattern is assigned so as to correspond to each of the game commands “No. 11” to “No. 20”. Variation pattern No. An effect pattern with a variation time of 10 seconds is assigned to a game command including the variation pattern No. 11. An effect pattern having a variation time of 15 seconds is assigned to a game command including 12 and a variation pattern No. 13 and no. 14 includes an effect pattern having a variation time of 30 seconds. 15 and No. An effect pattern with a variation time of 45 seconds is assigned to a game command including “16”. An effect pattern having a variation time of 60 seconds is assigned to the game commands including 17. An effect pattern with a variation time of 90 seconds is assigned to the game commands including “18”. 19 and variation pattern No. An effect pattern having a variation time of 120 seconds is assigned to game commands including 20. In addition, each of the game commands “No. 11” and “No. 12” is associated with one type of effect pattern, and each of the game commands “No. 13” to “No. 20” has two types of effect patterns. Are associated. For example, the game command “No. 14” is associated with two types of effect patterns of “normal reach B1” with a variation time of 30 seconds and “normal reach B2” with a variation time of 30 seconds.

  Here, the effect pattern shown in FIG. 10 will be described in detail. The effect pattern is composed of a plurality of effect blocks. The plurality of effect blocks include a “normal variation effect block” that is performed after all the effect symbols start to change and all other effect symbols stop after leaving one effect symbol. A “reaching effect block” that indicates that there is a possibility of a big hit, which is performed when all the effect symbols are in a reach state where they stop at the same symbol while leaving one effect symbol in the variable effect block, Following this reach production block, a super reach production block that suggests that the possibility of jackpot is higher than the reach production block, and a design stop production block that displays the result of the game with all production symbols stopped There is.

  “Normal reach” and “Long reach” are production patterns configured by connecting “normal variation production block”, “reach production block”, and “design stop production block”. “Super Reach” and “Premier Reach” are effect patterns configured by connecting a “normal variation effect block”, a “reach effect block”, a “super reach effect block”, and a “design stop effect block”. “No reach” is an effect pattern formed by connecting a “normal variation effect block” and a “design stop effect block”.

  The effect mode determination unit 210 determines an effect pattern to be used this time while referring to the effect table 261 stored in the effect mode storage unit 260 based on a game command related to the game at the start of the game. For example, when “No. 15” is sent as the game command to the effect control processing unit 12a, the effect mode determining unit 210 refers to the table for lost 261b and corresponds to the game command “No. 15”. One of the effect patterns “long reach A1” or “long reach A2” is determined by lottery. In addition, when the game command “No. 7 + probability variation symbol” is received, the effect mode determination unit 210 refers to the normal / probability variation table 261a, and the effect corresponding to the game command “No. 7 + probability variation symbol”. One effect pattern is determined by lottery from the patterns “super reach B1” or “super reach B2”.

  The effect display control unit 220 performs control for displaying the effect pattern determined by the effect mode determination unit 210 on the effect display device 34. For example, when “super reach” is determined as the effect pattern, Multiple production symbols start to fluctuate, with one production symbol remaining, all other production symbols stop at the same design, reach production, and after further development to super reach production, all production designs are stopped Then, display control of effects such as displaying game results is performed. In addition, when “Long reach” is determined as the production pattern, a plurality of production designs start to change, and all other production designs are stopped at the same design, leaving one production design. After the performance, an effect with content such as stopping all effect symbols and displaying the game result is displayed.

  The information disclosure determining unit 230 determines a range of how many effect blocks to be disclosed among the effect blocks constituting the effect pattern determined by the effect mode determining unit 210. For example, if “super reach A1” is determined as the production pattern, this “super reach” includes “normal fluctuation production block”, “reach production block”, “super reach production block” and “design stop production block”. Since they are connected, the information disclosure determination unit 230 determines, for example, the range from the normal variation effect block to the reach effect block as the disclosure range in the information related to “super reach A1”.

  Next, details of the notice effect table 262 stored in the effect mode storage unit 260 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 11, the notice effect table 262 stores a plurality of block notice effects associated with each effect block. Specifically, the normal variation production block includes a gaze notice A, a gase notice B, a gase notice C, a reach confirmation notice A, a reach confirmation notice B, a super reach confirmation notice A, a super reach confirmation notice B, and a jackpot confirmation notice A. The jackpot confirmation notice B is associated as a block notice effect. Further, the reach effect block is associated with the block notice notice effect D, the notice notice E, the notice notice F, the super reach confirmation notice A, the super reach confirmation notice B, the jackpot confirmation notice C, and the jackpot confirmation notice D as block notice effects. ing. Further, the super reach effect block is associated with the gasse notice G, the gasse notice H, the jackpot confirmation notice E, and the jackpot confirmation notice F as the block notice effects. Further, the symbol stop effect block is associated with the gasse notice I and the jackpot confirmation notice G as the block notice effect.

  The gasse notice is a fake notice that does not result in such a game, although it makes you expect as if a reach occurs, a super reach occurs, or a big hit. The reach confirmation notice is a notice that suggests that a reach production will always occur. The super reach confirmation notice is a notice that suggests that a super reach production will always occur. The jackpot confirmation notice is a notice that suggests that the jackpot will always be a jackpot.

  Of these block notice effects, the block notice effects targeted for the lottery performed by the notice effect determining unit 240 are limited by the disclosure range determined by the information disclosure determining unit 230. This point will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.

  First, in the column “corresponding disclosure range” in FIG. 11, “normal” means that the disclosure range determined by the information disclosure determining unit 230 is information up to the normal variation effect block. “+ Reach” is a case where the disclosure range determined by the information disclosure determining unit 230 is information from the normal variation effect block to the reach effect block, and “normal + reach + super” is the information disclosure determining unit 230. Is the case where the disclosed range is information from the normal variation effect block to the super reach effect block.

  In addition, “normal + reach + super + losing” indicates that the disclosure range determined by the information disclosure determining unit 230 is information from the normal variation effect block to the symbol stop effect block, and the symbol stop effect block displays a loss. Is included in the disclosure range, and “normal + reach + super + jackpot” indicates that the disclosure range determined by the information disclosure determination unit 230 is information from the normal variation effect block to the symbol stop effect block. In the symbol stop effect block, the jackpot is displayed in the disclosure range.

  When the disclosure range is “normal”, among the multiple effect blocks, only the normal variation effect block is the effect block subject to the lottery (the reach effect block, the super reach effect block, and the symbol stop effect block are excluded) Become). Furthermore, since the disclosure range is “normal”, among the plurality of block notice effects corresponding to the normal variation effect block, Gase notice A, Gase notice B, and Gase notice C are subject to lottery. That is, since the disclosure range is “normal”, the reach confirmation notice, the super reach confirmation notice, and the jackpot confirmation notice are excluded from the lottery.

  In addition, when the disclosure range is “normal + reach”, the normal variation effect block and the reach effect block among the plurality of effect blocks are the effect blocks to be selected (the super reach effect block and the symbol stop effect block are Not applicable). Further, since the disclosure range is “normal + reach”, among the plurality of block notice effects corresponding to the normal variation effect block, the gasse notice A, the gasse notice B, the gasse notice C, the reach confirmation notice A, the reach confirmation The notice B is a lottery object, and among the plurality of block notice effects corresponding to the reach effect block, the gasse notice D, the gasse notice E, and the gasse notice F are the lottery objects. That is, since the disclosure range is “normal + reach”, the super reach confirmation notice and the jackpot confirmation notice are excluded from the lottery. Note that the disclosure range “normal + reach” has more information about the production blocks that make up the production mode than the disclosure range “normal”. Is increasing.

  In addition, when the disclosure range is “normal + reach + super”, among the plurality of effect blocks, the normal variation effect block, the reach effect block, and the super reach effect block are the effect blocks to be selected (design stop effect) Block is excluded). Furthermore, since the disclosure range is “normal + reach + super”, among the plurality of block announcement effects corresponding to the normal variation production block, the Gase announcement A, the Gase announcement B, the Gase announcement C, the reach confirmation announcement A, Reach final announcement B, Super reach final announcement A, Super reach final announcement B are subject to lottery, and among the multiple block announcements corresponding to the reach production block, Gase announcement D, Gase announcement E, Gase announcement F, Super The reach confirmation notice A and the super reach confirmation notice B are subject to lottery, and among the plurality of block notice effects corresponding to the super reach effect block, the gasse notice G and the gasse notice H are subject to lottery. That is, since the disclosure range is “normal + reach + super”, the jackpot confirmation notice is excluded from the lottery. The disclosure range “normal + reach + super” has more information about the production blocks that make up the production mode than the disclosure ranges “normal” and “normal + reach”. The types of block notice effects that are subject to lottery are increasing.

  Further, when the disclosure range is “normal + reach + super + losing”, all of the plurality of effect blocks are the effect blocks to be selected by lottery. Further, since the disclosure range is “normal + reach + super + losing”, among a plurality of block notice effects corresponding to the normal fluctuation effect block, the gas notice notice A, the gasset notice B, the gasset notice C, and the reach confirmation notice A, Reach Confirmation Notice B, Super Reach Confirmation Notice A, Super Reach Confirmation Notice B are subject to lottery, and among the plurality of block notice effects corresponding to the reach effect block, Gase Notice D, Gase Notice E, Gase Notice F , Super Reach Final Notice A and Super Reach Final Notice B are subject to lottery, and among the multiple block advance notices corresponding to the Super Reach Production Block, Gase Notice G and Gase Notice H are subject to lottery. Among the plurality of block notice effects corresponding to, Gase notice I becomes a lottery target. That is, since the disclosure range is “normal + reach + super + losing”, the jackpot confirmation notice is excluded from the lottery target. In addition, the disclosure range “Normal + Reach + Super” and “Normal + Reach + Super + Loss” are subject to lottery except that there is a difference in the notice effect that is subject to lottery in the symbol stop production block. The type of notice effect is the same.

  Further, when the disclosure range is “normal + reach + super + big hit”, all of the plurality of effect blocks are the effect blocks to be selected by lottery. Further, since the disclosure range is “normal + reach + super + jackpot”, among the multiple block notice effects corresponding to the normal fluctuation effect block, the Gase notice A, Gase notice B, Gase notice C, reach confirmation notice A, reach confirmation notice B, super reach confirmation notice A, super reach confirmation notice B, jackpot confirmation notice A, jackpot confirmation notice B are subject to lottery. Notice D, Gase Notice E, Gase Notice F, Super Reach Confirmation Notice A, Super Reach Confirmation Notice B, Jackpot Confirmation Notice C, Jackpot Confirmation Notice D are subject to lottery, and multiple block notice effects corresponding to Super Reach Production Blocks Among them, Gase notice G, Gase notice H, jackpot final notice E, jackpot final notice F are subject to lottery, Among the plurality of blocks for the announcement attraction corresponding to the effect block, Gase notice I, the jackpot determined prior notice G becomes a lottery target. That is, since the disclosure range is “normal + reach + super + jackpot”, the jackpot confirmation notice is included in the lottery targets in all the production blocks.

  Next, the notice effect determining unit 240 refers to the notice effect table 262 based on the disclosure range determined by the information disclosure determining unit 230, and determines the notice effect used for the game from among a plurality of types of notice effects by lottery. doing. For example, when the disclosure range determined by the information disclosure determining unit 230 is “normal + reach”, the notice effect determining unit 240 sets the notice notice A, the notice notice B, the notice notice C corresponding to the normal variation effect block, One notice effect is determined by lottery from the reach confirmation notice A and the reach confirmation notice B, and one notice effect is determined from the Gase notice D, Gase notice E, and Gase notice F corresponding to the reach effect block.

  The notice effect display control unit 250 controls to display the notice effect determined by the notice effect determination unit 240 on the effect display device 34. For example, when the notice effect determining unit 240 determines “reach final notice A” as the notice effect corresponding to the normal variation effect block and “gase notice E” as the notice effect corresponding to the reach effect block, the notice effect The display control unit 250 displays the reach confirmation notice A on the effect display device 34 while the effect in the normal variation effect block is being performed, and the gasset notice E while the effect in the reach effect block is being performed. Displayed on the effect display device 34.

  Returning to FIG. 4, the special symbol display control unit 12 b includes the command related to the special symbol type determined by the special symbol determination units 120 a and 120 b of the main control processing unit 11 and the variation determined by the variation pattern command determination unit 130. Based on the pattern command, that is, the game command, the special symbol display device 17 displays the special symbol in such a manner that the special symbol is changed for a predetermined time and then stopped. On the other hand, the normal symbol display control unit 12f receives the command of the lottery result relating to the normal symbol by the normal symbol lottery unit 170, displays the normal symbol on the normal symbol display device 22 based on the command, and displays it in a manner of stopping. It is controlled to do. The basic symbol display control unit 12f has substantially the same basic configuration of display control, although the symbol to be displayed is different from the display control by the special symbol display control unit 12b described above. The lamp control processing unit 12c receives commands from the main control processing unit 11 and controls lighting of various lamps and electrical decorations.

  The payout control processing unit 12e receives a signal from the CR unit and controls the prize ball paying device 14 so as to lend out a game ball to the player. In addition, the payout control processing unit 12e receives a payout command from the main control processing unit 11 to receive a predetermined number of balls. The prize ball payout device 14 is controlled so as to pay out the prize ball to the player. The prize ball payout device 14 includes a sprocket (not shown) in which notches are formed for holding game balls one by one, and a motor (not shown) for rotating the sprocket. By controlling the rotation of the motor, the required number of prize balls can be paid out. Specifically, when the start winning opening detection sensors 43a and 43b, the general winning opening detection sensor 44, the large winning opening detection sensor 45, etc. detect the passage of the game ball, the winning ball payout device 14 passes through the main control processing section 11. The game ball is paid out based on the received command.

  The firing control processing unit 13 is a device that controls the operation of the launching device 9 according to the rotation amount of the handle 7. More specifically, control processing is performed such as energizing the launching device 9, stopping energization, or changing the energization current. The launch control processing unit 13 is connected to the payout control processing unit 12e, and a launch stop signal is received when the CR unit is not connected.

  Next, the game processing procedure of the pachinko machine P according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, which one of the first start winning port 37a and the second starting winning port 37b is explained. Since the game-related processing is the same even if a game ball is won at the start winning opening, a case where a game ball wins the first start winning opening 37a will be described below.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the main control processing unit 11 determines whether or not the game ball has won the first start winning opening 37a (step S1). When winning (Yes in step S1), the first special symbol random number acquiring unit 112a acquires the special symbol random number, and the first variation pattern random number acquiring unit 132a acquires the variation pattern random number (step S2). ). When the special symbol is changing (Yes in step S3), the special symbol random number acquired in step S2 is stored in the first reserved ball random number storage unit 115a, and the variation pattern random number is stored in the first variation pattern random number. It memorize | stores in the part 133a (step S4), returns to just before step S3, and waits until the game which concerns on this time winning starts.

  On the other hand, if the special symbol is not changing, that is, if the game order has come (No in step S3), the process proceeds to step S5 to perform a jackpot determination process. That is, the first special symbol success / failure determination unit 113a determines whether or not the acquired special symbol random number is a big hit. Next, a variation pattern command determination process is performed in step S6. In this variation pattern command determination process, based on the obtained variation pattern random number, the variation pattern No. is referred to by referring to the variation pattern command table 134a as described above. To decide. More specifically, the variation pattern command determination unit 130 refers to the hitting table 134a-1 when it is determined that the jackpot is determined at step S5, and when it is determined that it is lost at step S5, when it is lost. The table 134a-2 refers to the variation pattern No. (Variation pattern command) is determined. In this game, the variation pattern No. The following explanation will be made on the assumption that 7 is determined.

  Next, the process proceeds to step S7, and a special symbol determination process is performed. Specifically, when it is determined that the jackpot is determined as a result of the jackpot determination process in step S5, the first special symbol determination unit 120a determines the type of the special symbol corresponding to the jackpot. That is, it is determined in this step S7 whether the big hit in this game is a normal hit or a probable change. In this game, the following explanation will be made on the assumption that the special symbol type is determined to be a probabilistic symbol.

  Next, in step S8, effect mode determination processing is performed. Specifically, the effect mode determination unit 210 determines an effect pattern to be used for the current game with reference to the normal / probability change table 261a or the lose table 261b. In this game, “No. 7 + probability pattern” is sent as the game command to the effect mode determination unit 210, so the effect mode determination unit 210 refers to the normal / probability change table 261a, and this time For example, “Super Reach B2” is determined by lottery as a pattern.

  Next, in step S9, a notice effect determination process is performed. In this notice effect determining process, the information disclosure determining unit 230 determines the disclosure range, and the notice effect determining unit 240 refers to the notice effect table 262 based on the information of the determined disclosure range, and blocks each effect block. Decide the notice effect. Specifically, Super Reach B2, which is the current production pattern, is configured by connecting a normal variation production block, a reach production block, a super reach production block, and a symbol stop production block. 230 determines, for example, “normal + reach” as the current disclosure range. Since “normal + reach” is determined as the disclosure range, the notice effect determining unit 240 determines “reach final notice B” as a notice effect corresponding to the normal variation effect block by lottery, and the notice corresponding to the reach effect block. “Gase notice F” is decided by lottery as an effect.

  Next, in step S10, the change of the special symbol is started, and the effect display control unit 220 displays the effect mode related to the super reach B2 determined in step S8 on the effect display device 34. In step S11, the notice effect display control unit 250 displays the notice effect. Specifically, the reach confirmation notice B is displayed on the effect display device 34 while the normal reach effect block of the super reach B2 is being performed, and the gasset notice F is displayed while the reach effect block of the super reach B2 is being performed. Is displayed on the effect display device 34.

  Next, in step S12 shown in FIG. 13, the notice effect determination unit 240 determines whether or not the notice effect corresponding to all the plurality of effect blocks constituting the effect pattern has been determined. More specifically, when the range disclosed by the information disclosure determining unit 230 is all of the plurality of effect blocks constituting the effect pattern, the notice effect determining unit 240 has already performed all the effects in step S9. Since the block notice effect corresponding to the block is determined, the determination in step S12 is Yes. On the other hand, when the range disclosed by the information disclosure determining unit 230 is a part of the plurality of effect blocks constituting the effect pattern, the notice effect determining unit 240 determines some effect blocks in step S9. Since only the block notice effect corresponding to is determined, the determination in step S12 is No.

  Here, the production pattern in this game is Super Reach B2, and the disclosure range is “normal + reach” and part of the production block constituting the production pattern. Become.

  In the case of Yes in step S12, the process proceeds to step S15, the special symbol fluctuation is stopped, and the display of the effect pattern is stopped in synchronization therewith.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step S12, a notice effect redetermination process is performed in step S13. In this notice effect re-determination process, first, the information disclosure determination unit 240 re-determines the range to be disclosed among the effect blocks other than the disclosure range determined in the previous step S9. And the notice effect determination part 240 determines the notice effect for blocks corresponding to the re-decided effect block by lottery.

  Specifically, since “normal + reach” is determined as the disclosure range in the previous step S9, if “normal + reach” is excluded from the effect blocks constituting the super reach B2, the design stops with the super reach effect block. The production block remains as undisclosed information. Therefore, the information disclosure determining unit 230 determines how many effect blocks to be disclosed among the super reach effect block and the symbol stop effect block. For example, if “super + jackpot” is redetermined by the information disclosure determining unit 230, the notice effect determining unit 240 uses the block notice effect corresponding to the super reach effect block and the block corresponding to the symbol stop effect block. The notice effect is determined with reference to the notice effect table 262. Specifically, the notice effect determining unit 240 selects from among a plurality of notice effects for the super reach effect block associated with “normal + reach + super + bonus” that is a disclosure range including “super + jackpot”. For example, “Gase notice G” is determined by lottery, and, for example, “Big jackpot confirmation notice G” is determined by lottery from a plurality of notice effects for the symbol stop effect block.

  Next, in step S14, the notice effect display control unit 250 displays “Gasse notice G” related to the redetermination on the effect display device 34 while the super reach effect block is being performed, Is displayed on the effect display device 34 while the symbol stop effect block is being performed. And it progresses to step S15 and the process by above-mentioned step S15 is performed.

  Next, in the case of a jackpot (Yes in step S16), the jackpot game control unit 160 provides the jackpot game by releasing the attacker device 41 for a predetermined number of rounds (step S17), and one game is completed. To do.

  In the case of No in step S1, the game is ended without being played, and in the case of No in step S16, the processing of one game is ended without providing the jackpot game.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment, even when the current game is a big hit, the disclosure range determined by the information disclosure determination unit 230 is, for example, “normal + reach” In the normal variation effect block, only the Gase notice or the reach confirmation notice is displayed. Therefore, a player can enjoy a game until the end while expecting that the game is a big hit because there is a possibility of a big hit even if only a gasse warning or reach confirmation notice is displayed in the normal variation effect block. it can.
