Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko machine that uses a game ball to play a game, and is particularly suitable for a pachinko machine that includes an operation unit operated by a player.

  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 confirmed, the reserved ball random numbers stored in the reserved ball random number storage unit are sequentially read out to determine the jackpot of the reserved ball random number, 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.

  In addition, recently, a device has been devised so that a special effect is displayed when a player presses an operation button (operation unit) while an effect mode is displayed. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique that can improve the interest of the game by changing the mode of the notice effect depending on whether the operation button is operated or not. Is disclosed.

JP 2009-142571 A

  However, the above-described conventional technology is no longer attracting the player's interest in today's day when pachinko machines with new effects appear every day. For example, in the technique of Patent Document 1, even if the operation button is pressed, only the aspect of the notice effect is changed, and the player is not interested in the operation of the operation button itself. In particular, for experienced players, the operation buttons are troublesome and tedious.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and the purpose of the present invention is to give a player a new meaning other than displaying a notice effect in the operation of the operation unit. It is in providing the pachinko machine which can operate a part.

  In order to achieve the above object, a pachinko machine according to the present invention has a game board having a game area where game balls flow down, a start opening provided in the game area, and a game ball winning in the start opening. An electronic lottery means for performing electronic lottery when triggered, and an effect mode for stopping after changing a plurality of effect symbols, and an effect of displaying a lottery result by the electronic lottery means by a stop mode of the plurality of effect symbols A jackpot game that provides a jackpot game that is more advantageous to the player than a normal game when the lottery result by the electronic lottery means is a jackpot, a display device, an effect display control means for performing display control of the effect display device A control means, and an operation unit that is operated by a player, and has an advantageous hit and a disadvantage hit as the jackpot, and a normal gaming state as a gaming state And a high probability variation state that is more likely to be a big win in the lottery by the electronic lottery means than the normal state, and if the win is won in the advantageous win in the lottery by the electronic lottery means, the jackpot game When the game state ends, the gaming state becomes the high probability variation state, and if the winning in the game in the high probability variation state is won, the gaming state after the jackpot game is continued is the high probability variation. In the pachinko machine that is configured so that the gaming state after the jackpot game is ended in the normal state when the disadvantage is won in the game in the high probability variation state, When the lottery result of the electronic lottery means is the jackpot, the effect display control means displays a notice effect indicating that effect during the change of the effect symbol. A notice effect display control means for displaying on the display device, and a notice display condition determining means for determining a condition for displaying the notice effect on the effect display device. The notice effect is first displayed on the effect display device. The first half notice effect to be displayed and the second half notice effect displayed on the effect display device after this first half notice effect are included, and the condition has a second half notice display condition for displaying the second half notice effect. The second half notice display condition is determined by the operation mode of the operation unit, and the notice effect display control means displays the second half notice effect when the latter notice display condition is achieved. The notice display condition determining means determines the latter notice display condition to a predetermined content when the gaming state is the normal state. On the other hand, when the gaming state is the high probability variation state, it is more difficult to achieve the condition in the case where the lottery result of the electronic lottery means the disadvantaged win than the advantageous win The contents of the latter half notice display conditions are determined so as to increase the number.

  In the present invention, the announcement effect that suggests the jackpot is configured to include the first half notice effect and the second half notice effect, and in order to display the second half notice effect, the second half notice display condition defined by the operation mode of the operation unit is displayed. Need to achieve. However, the latter half notice display conditions differ depending on the lottery result of the electronic lottery means, and in the present invention, the degree of difficulty for achieving the conditions may be higher in the case of disadvantageous than in the case of advantageous. It is increasing. Therefore, when winning at a disadvantage, it is more difficult to display the second half notice effect than when winning at the advantage is achieved to achieve the second half notice display condition.

  Here, when the pachinko machine according to the present invention is won in a win with a game in a high probability variation state, the gaming state after the jackpot game is continuously in a high probability variation state, If the game is won against a disadvantage, the game state after the jackpot game ends is set to the normal state (so-called battle specs), so the player Will play the game in the hope of winning the winning. In the present invention, since the difficulty level of the latter half notice display condition when winning at the disadvantage is higher than when winning at the advantage, the player can easily display the latter notice effect by operating the operation unit. If so, it can be inferred that it is an advantageous hit. On the other hand, if the second half notice effect is not easily displayed even if the operation unit is operated, it can be estimated that it may be a disadvantage. Of course, just because the second half notice effect is not displayed does not necessarily result in a disadvantage, so you can enjoy the game results to the end.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the difficulty level for achieving the latter half notice display condition is different between the advantageous hit and the disadvantage hit, so that the operation section until the latter half notice effect is displayed on the effect display device. Since the result of the electronic lottery can be predicted depending on how difficult the operation is, the operation action itself of the operation unit can be an element for predicting the jackpot. That is, according to the present invention, not only the operation of the operation unit is a condition for displaying the notice effect, but also a big hit can be predicted according to the operation content of the operation unit. Therefore, by giving a new meaning of the jackpot prediction function to the operation action itself of the operation unit, the player can operate the operation unit with interest, and the game preference is enhanced.

  Further, in the above configuration, the latter-half notice display condition is that the operation unit is operated more than the first operation number within a first predetermined time, and the notice display condition determining unit is configured to select one of a plurality of operation times. The second half notice display condition is determined by setting the number of operations to the first operation number. When the gaming state is the normal state, the notice display condition determining means includes the plurality of notice display condition determining means. Of the number of operations, a predetermined number of operations is set as the first number of operations, and when the gaming state is the high probability variation state, the notice display condition determining means draws a lot from the plurality of operations. Then, one operation number is set as the first operation number, and in the lottery of the operation number performed by the notice display condition determining means, the probability that the largest operation number among the plurality of operation numbers is selected is Electronic Preferred lottery result of the player stage is set so to be higher in the case of the per disadvantageous than per advantageously the can. If it does in this way, it can be predicted whether it is an advantageous hit or an unfavorable hit by the number of times of operation of the operation part, the operation part can be enjoyed repeatedly, and the preference of the game is further enhanced.

  Further, in the above configuration, the condition further includes a first half notice display condition for displaying the first half notice effect, and the first half notice display condition is that the operation unit is moved to the first operation count within a second predetermined time. The notice effect display control means controls the display of the first half notice effect on the effect display device when the first notice display condition is achieved, and the notice notice is displayed. Preferably, the display condition determining means sets the predetermined number of times as the second number of operations regardless of whether the gaming state is the normal state or the high probability variation state. If it does in this way, operation of an operation part can be urged also with respect to the first half notice effect, and the taste of a game can be raised.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to give a new meaning of predicting the type of jackpot besides displaying a notice effect in the operation of the operation unit, and the player can operate the operation unit with interest. Yes, the game's preference is increased.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, a special symbol lottery processing unit (electronic lottery means) 110 that performs electronic lottery related to a special symbol when a game ball wins a winning winning opening 37a, 37b, Special symbol determination units 120a and 120b that determine the type of special symbol according to the lottery result determined by the special symbol lottery processing unit 110, and a variation pattern command for determining a variation pattern command that is a command related to the variation time of the special symbol The determination unit 130, the game mode transition control unit 140 that controls the transition of the game mode, and the determination of the lottery result by the special symbol lottery processing unit 110 (special bonus), the attacker device 41 (solenoid) The jackpot game control unit (jackpot game control means) 160 that shifts to the jackpot game by operating and the through chucker 21 as a game ball A normal symbol lottery processing unit 170 that performs electronic lottery related to a normal symbol upon passing, a normal symbol variation time determination unit 190 that determines a variation time of the normal symbol, and an electric tulip operation that controls the operation of the electric tulip 49 The main control processing unit 11 includes the control unit 180.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the special symbol lottery processing 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 generator 111 for generating a game, a first special symbol lottery unit 119a for performing a lottery related to the special symbol when a game ball wins the first start winning port 37a, and a second start prize A second special symbol lottery section 119b for performing lottery related to the special symbol when the game ball is won in the mouth 37b is configured. That is, in this embodiment, there are two special symbol lotteries: one that takes place when the first start winning opening 37a is won and the other that takes place when the second start winning opening 37b wins. .

  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 acquisition unit 112a that acquires (latch) one of the symbols, and the first special symbol random number acquisition unit 112a determines whether or not the random number acquired by the first special symbol random number acquisition unit 112a is per special symbol. The special symbol is changing when the first special symbol randomness determination unit 113a and the first special symbol random number acquisition unit 112a that acquire the random number are determined with reference to the table 116a or the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a. In some cases, there is provided a first reserved sphere random number storage unit 115a that stores the acquired random numbers as reserved sphere random numbers up to four (in other words, up to a predetermined number of four upper limits).Here, the first special symbol high probability determination table 116a has a higher probability of hitting the special symbol 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 random number acquired by the second special symbol random number acquiring unit 112b that acquires (latches) one random number (at the timing input to the unit 11) and whether the random number acquired by the second special symbol random number acquiring unit 112b is per special symbol The second special symbol success / failure determination unit 113b and the second special symbol random number determination unit 112b for determining whether or not to refer to the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b or the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b. The second reserved ball that stores up to 4 random numbers as the reserved ball random numbers (in other words, up to the upper limit of 4 as a predetermined number) when the special symbol is changing at the time of acquisition It comprises several storage unit 115b, a. Here, the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b has a higher probability of hitting the special symbol than the second special symbol high probability determination table 117b.

  In the present embodiment, when the reserved ball random number is stored in both the first reserved ball random number storage unit 115a and the second reserved ball random number storage unit 115b, it is stored in the second reserved ball random number storage unit 115b. It is determined whether or not the reserved ball random number is read out preferentially and whether it is per special figure, and control is performed so that the game proceeds according to the determination. In other words, the game based on the game ball winning in the second start winning port 37b by the special symbol lottery processing unit 110 has priority over the game based on the game ball winning in the first start winning port 37a. Processing is taking place.

  In the present embodiment, as described later, there are three special charts per 2R normal per (adverse per advantage), 2R per probable variation (advantageous per unit), and 13R per probable per unit (advantage per unit). The probability of winning is the same for the electronic lottery performed by the first special symbol lottery unit 119a and the electronic lottery performed by the second special symbol electronic lottery unit 119b. It is the first special symbol determining unit 120a and the second special symbol determining unit 120b that determine the type per special symbol. That is, 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 per special symbol, and the determination of what type per special symbol is The first special symbol determination unit 120a and the second special symbol determination unit 120b perform this.

  When the lottery result by the first special symbol lottery unit 119a is per special symbol, the first special symbol determination unit 120a determines the type of special symbol corresponding to the special symbol. Specifically, the first special symbol determination unit 120a determines either per 2R normal, per 2R probability variation, or per 13R probability variation. The same applies to the second special symbol determination unit 120b.

  When winning “2R probability variation” and “13R probability variation”, after the jackpot game based on the probability variation is completed, in the game until winning the next special figure, the first judgment table to be referred to The special symbol high probability determination table 116a and the second special symbol high probability determination table 116b are referred to. That is, this gaming state is a high probability variation state (hereinafter referred to as “probability variation mode”).

  On the other hand, a state in which a game is played while referring to the first special symbol low probability determination table 117a and the second special symbol low probability determination table 117b is a normal state (hereinafter referred to as “normal mode”). In the probability variation mode, since the probability of winning per special figure is high, it is advantageous to the player compared to the normal mode. In addition, after winning the “2R normal hit” and ending the big hit game based on the normal hit, even if the game mode at the time of winning the normal hit is the probability change mode, the game mode shifts to the normal mode. It is supposed to fall (fall down). As described above, in this embodiment, the 2R probability variation per unit and the 13R probability variation per unit are in a probability variation mode after the jackpot game is finished, so that it can be said that the player is more advantageous than the normal 2R unit per unit. That is, per 2R probability variation and 13R probability variation correspond to the advantage per the present invention, and 2R normal per corresponds to the disadvantage per the present invention.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the variation pattern command determination unit 130 generates a variation pattern random number generation unit 131 that generates a variation pattern random number used for determination of the variation pattern command, and the first start winning opening 37a. A first variation pattern command determination unit 130a for determining a variation pattern command based on the winning of the ball and a variation pattern command for determining the variation pattern command based on the winning of the game ball in the second start winning opening 37b. And a second variation pattern command determination unit 130b.

  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. A first variation pattern random number acquisition unit 132a, a first variation pattern random number storage unit 133a for storing up to four random numbers acquired by the first variation pattern random number acquisition unit 132a, a variation pattern random number and variation Pattern No. And a first variation pattern command table 134a in which a plurality of tables associated with 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. Random number for second variation pattern 132b for obtaining one random number from among random numbers for random use, and random numbers for second variation pattern for storing up to four random numbers obtained by this random number for random variation acquisition unit 132b Storage unit 133b, variation pattern random number and variation pattern No. And a second variation pattern command table 134b in which a plurality of tables associated with is 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.

  In the first fluctuation pattern command table 134a, as shown in FIG. 7, a special figure fluctuation table A (134a-1) that is referred to when a special symbol is won in the lottery by the first special symbol lottery section 119a, Three tables are stored: a special figure fluctuation table B (134a-2) and a special figure fluctuation table C (134a-3) which are referred to when the first special symbol lottery section 119b loses in the lottery. Each table includes a random number for variation pattern and a variation pattern No. 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. (Variation pattern command) is automatically determined, and the variation pattern No. The variation time corresponding to is 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. In the present embodiment example, 10 variation pattern random numbers from 0 to 9, variation pattern No. No. 1-No. 10, No. 11-No. 30, but the number of variation pattern random numbers and variation pattern No. May be set as appropriate.

  Next, the variation time stored in each special figure variation table A to C will be described. First, the special figure fluctuation table A (134a-1) stores a fluctuation time from 30 seconds to 120 seconds. The special figure fluctuation table B (134a-2) stores the fluctuation time from 10 seconds to 120 seconds, but has a relatively short fluctuation time compared to the special figure fluctuation table A (134a-1). include.

  The special figure fluctuation table C (134a-3) stores fluctuation times from 2 seconds to 45 seconds. When the special figure fluctuation table B (134a-2) and the special figure fluctuation table C (134a-3) are compared, the special figure fluctuation table C (134a-3) is changed to the special figure fluctuation table B (134a-2). A relatively short variation time is stored.

  Next, the jackpot game control unit 160 shown in FIG. 4 is for operating the attacker device 41 to provide a jackpot game when the result of the electronic lottery by the special symbol lottery processing unit 110 is a special symbol. Is. The jackpot game of the present embodiment is configured such that round games are continuously performed twice or thirteen times continuously. Here, the round game refers to whether the attacker device 41 opens and closes at least once, and a predetermined number of game balls are won in the big winning opening 42 while the attacker device 41 is opened, or a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the round game. A game that ends when either of the end conditions is met. When winning per 2R normal and per 2R probability change, the round game is provided with two jackpot games, and when winning per 13R probability change, the round game is provided with 13 jackpot games. Therefore, it is more advantageous for the player to win more prize balls than for the normal 2R and for the 2R probability variation per 13R probability variation.

  Next, when the game mode is in the normal mode, the game mode transition control unit 140 shifts the game mode to the probability change mode when the jackpot game ends when the winning per 2R probability change and the 13R probability change are determined. In the probability variation mode, if you win per 2R probability variation and 13R probability variation, the game mode after the big hit game will continue to be in the probability variation mode, but if you win per 2R normal in probability variation mode, The game mode is controlled so that the game mode after the jackpot game is ended (shifted) to the normal mode. If the 2R normal mode is won when the game mode is the normal mode, the game mode transition control unit 140 maintains the game mode after the jackpot game is ended in the normal mode.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the normal symbol lottery processing unit 170 generates a normal symbol random number generator 171 that generates a random symbol for the normal symbol and an electronic symbol related to the normal symbol triggered by the passing of the game ball through the through chucker 21. An ordinary symbol lottery unit 177 for performing lottery is provided. The normal symbol lottery unit 177 acquires one random number (at the timing when the detection signal from the through chucker detection sensor 46 is input to the main control processing unit 11) when the game ball passes through the through chucker 21 ( A normal symbol random number acquiring unit 172 to be latched), a normal symbol random number determining unit 173 that determines whether or not the random number acquired by the normal symbol random number acquiring unit 172 is per ordinary symbol, and a determination table, When the normal symbol random number acquisition unit 172 acquires a random number and the normal symbol is changing, the normal symbol reservation ball storage unit 174 stores the acquired random number as the normal symbol hold ball random number, and the determination As a table, a normal symbol low probability determination table 176 having a low probability of winning per ordinary figure, and a probability of winning per ordinary figure than the normal symbol low probability determination table 176 And a high normal symbol high probability determination table 175. 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.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the normal symbol variation time determination unit 190 includes a variation pattern random number generation unit 191 that generates random numbers for a common variation pattern used for determination of a common variation pattern command, and a through chucker 21 as a game ball. Triggered by the passage of a random number, a random number acquisition unit 192 for a normal variation pattern that acquires one random number from random numbers for the normal variation pattern generated by the random number generation unit 191 for the normal variation pattern, The random number storage unit 193 for the normal variation pattern that stores up to four random numbers acquired by the random number acquisition unit 192 for the variation pattern, the random number for the normal variation pattern, and the variation pattern No. And a general-purpose variation pattern command table 194 in which a plurality of tables associated with is stored. In addition, when one game ball passes through the through chucker 21, the normal symbol variation time determination unit 190 acquires one random number for the common symbol variation pattern for each passage.

  The random number generator 191 for the normal fluctuation pattern updates the value of the loop counter one by one within a predetermined range (0 to 4) based on an interrupt signal periodically input (for example, every 2 milliseconds). Generate software random numbers.

  As shown in FIG. 10, two common figure fluctuation tables are stored in the common figure fluctuation pattern command table 194, and each table has a common figure fluctuation pattern random number and a fluctuation pattern No. Are configured in advance. That is, when the random number for the usual pattern variation pattern is determined, the variation pattern No. (Ordinary map variation pattern command) is automatically determined, and its variation pattern No. The variation time corresponding to is determined. Here, in the present embodiment example, five random numbers for ordinary variation patterns 0 to 4 and variation pattern Nos. No. 101-No. 110 is set, but the number of random numbers for the usual variation pattern and the variation pattern No. May be set as appropriate.

  Of the two ordinary map variation tables, one ordinary diagram variation table a (194-1) stores a variation time of 10 seconds, and the other ordinary diagram variation table b (194-2) stores A variation time of 0.6 seconds is stored. Therefore, when the ordinary figure fluctuation table a (194-1) and the ordinary figure fluctuation table b (194-2) are compared, the ordinary figure fluctuation table b (194-2) has a shorter fluctuation time. In the normal mode, the normal map change table a (194-1) is referred to, and in the probability change mode, the normal map change table b (194-2) is referred to.

  Next, the electric tulip operation control unit 180 controls to open and close the solenoid of the electric tulip 49 by energizing the solenoid based on the command indicating that the normal symbol lottery processing unit 170 has won the universal drawing. . Here, in the game in which the normal symbol high probability determination table 175 is referred to, since the probability of winning the electronic lottery by the normal symbol lottery unit 177 is high, the game in which the normal symbol low probability determination table 176 is referred is referred to. Compared to the case, since the electric tulip 49 is opened more frequently, the player can play a game without reducing the number of game balls.

  Note that the electric tulip operation control unit 180 opens the electric tulip 49 twice with an opening time of 2.9 seconds for each normal figure in the gaming state in which the normal symbol high probability determination table 175 is referred to. In the gaming state in which the normal symbol low probability determination table 176 is referred to, the electric tulip 49 is controlled to be released once with an opening time of 0.2 seconds for each ordinary figure. Further, the normal symbol high probability determination table 175 is referred to in the probability variation mode, and the normal symbol low probability determination table 176 is referred to in the normal mode.

  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.?+design”. Among game commands, “No.?” Indicates the 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, “symbol” indicates the first special symbol. The command regarding the type of special symbol which the determination part 120a or the 2nd special symbol determination part 120b determined is shown.

  Variation pattern No. 1-No. 10 is determined using the special figure fluctuation table A (134a-1) referred to at the time of special figure as shown in FIG. 7, each of "No. 1" to "No. 10" The command is a win command, and the variation pattern No. 11-No. 30 is determined by using either the special figure fluctuation table B (134a-2) or the special figure fluctuation table C (134a-3) referred to at the time of the loss as shown in FIG. Each command of “No. 11” to “No. 30” is a lose command.

  In addition, the “symbol” command is specifically divided into “2R normal symbol”, “2R probability variable symbol”, and “13R probability variable symbol”. For example, the “2R normal symbol” command is per 2R normal symbol. It shows that it was won.

  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 of “symbol” is confirmed, which game command is You can see if you won the special chart. If the game command includes any of “No. 11” to “No. 30”, 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. 11, the effect control processing unit 12 a displays, as a processing unit, an effect mode determining unit 210 for determining an effect mode and the effect mode determined by the effect mode determining unit 210 on the effect display device 34. An effect display control unit (effect display control means) 220 that controls the display is provided, and an effect mode storage unit 260 that stores a plurality of types of effect patterns is provided as a storage unit.

  When the lottery result of the electronic lottery by the special symbol lottery processing unit 110 is a big hit, the effect display control unit 220 displays a notice effect indicating that effect on the effect display device 34 (notice effect display display) Control means) 221 and a notice display condition determining unit (notice display condition determining means) 222 for determining conditions for displaying the notice effect on the effect display device 34. The effect mode storage unit 260 includes an effect mode table 261 in which a plurality of types of effect patterns are stored, and a notice mode table 262 in which a plurality of types of notice effect patterns are stored.

  The production mode table 261 stored in the production mode storage unit 260 has a configuration in which production patterns are associated with game commands, as shown in FIG. For example, a game command No. In “1+” symbol, “normal reach A1” and “normal reach A2” having a variation time of 30 seconds are stored as corresponding production patterns. 13, “no reach B” with a variation time of 10 seconds is stored as the corresponding effect pattern.

  The effect mode determination unit 210 determines an effect pattern to be used this time while referring to the effect mode table 261 stored in the effect mode storage unit 260 based on the 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 effect mode table 261 and corresponds to the game command “No. 15”. One effect pattern is selected by lottery from the effect patterns “normal reach A1” or “normal reach A2”.

  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 A1” is determined as the effect pattern. , Multiple production symbols start to fluctuate, leave one production design, stop all other production designs at the same design, perform reach production, and further develop into super reach production. The display control of the content such as stopping and displaying the result of the game is performed.

  Further, as will be described in detail later, when receiving the hit command, the notice effect display control unit 221 determines whether or not to perform the notice effect using the touch button 60, and when it is determined to perform the notice effect. The notice effect display control unit 221 determines the conditions for displaying the notice effect. Note that the image data of the notice effect using the touch button 60 is stored in the notice mode table 262.

  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 related to the normal symbol by the normal symbol lottery processing unit 170 and the command of the variation time of the normal symbol determined by the normal symbol variation time determination unit 190, and receives these commands. Based on this, the normal symbol display device 22 is controlled to display the normal symbol in such a manner that the normal symbol is changed for a predetermined time and then stopped. 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 procedure of the game process of the pachinko machine P according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 13, which one of the first start winning opening 37a and the second starting winning opening 37b. Since the game processing procedure is the same even if the game ball wins, the case where the game ball wins the first start winning port 37a will be described below.

  As shown in FIG. 13, 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 turn of the game which concerns on this prize comes.

  When the special symbol is not fluctuating and the game processing related to the current winning can be advanced (No in step S3), the process proceeds to step S5 and the jackpot determination process is performed. That is, the first special symbol success / failure determination unit 113a determines whether or not the acquired special symbol random number is per special symbol. 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 fluctuation pattern command determination unit 130 refers to the special figure fluctuation table A (134a-1) and determines the fluctuation pattern No. To decide. On the other hand, when it is determined that the game is lost in step S5, the variation pattern command determination unit 130 determines the special figure variation table B (134b-1) according to the number of holds before the start of variation and the gaming state (normal mode, probability variation mode). ) And the special figure fluctuation table C (134c-1). To decide.

  Next, the process proceeds to step S7, and a special symbol determination process is performed. Specifically, if the result of the jackpot determination process in step S5 is determined to be per special symbol, the first special symbol determination unit 120a determines the type of special symbol for the special symbol. That is, it is determined in this step S7 whether the special figure in this game is 2R normal, 2R probability variation, or 13R probability variation.

  Next, in step S8, effect mode determination processing is performed. Specifically, the effect mode determination unit 210 refers to the effect mode table 261 and determines the effect pattern used for the current game. For example, when the game command “No. 7+ symbol (13R probability variation symbol)” is sent to the effect mode determining unit 210 in this game, the effect mode determining unit 210 refers to the effect mode table 261. For example, “Super Reach B2” is determined by lottery as the current production pattern.

  Next, in step S9, a process for determining whether or not to perform a notice effect using the touch button 60 and for determining a notice display condition for performing the notice effect is performed. Details of the processing in step S9 will be described later.

  Next, in step S10, the variation of the special symbol is started, and the effect display control unit 220 displays the effect pattern determined in step S8 on the effect display device 34. If it is determined in step S9 that the notice effect is to be performed, a predetermined notice effect is displayed on the effect display device 34 (details will be described later). Then, when the predetermined time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S11, and the change of the special symbol is stopped, and the display of the effect pattern is stopped in synchronization therewith.

  Next, when the combination of the stop symbols has been confirmed as a combination per special figure (Yes in step S12), the process proceeds to step S13 and a big hit game is performed. In the jackpot game, when the type per special figure is 2R regular hit and 2R probability variation, the attacker device 41 is provided with two round games, and in the case of 13R probability variation, 13 round games are provided. Is done.

  Next, in step S14, a process of shifting the game mode after the jackpot game to a predetermined game mode according to the type per special figure is performed. Specifically, the game mode transition control unit 140 shifts the game mode to the normal mode when the jackpot game based on the 2R normal hit ends, and when the jackpot game based on the 2R probability change and the 13R probability change ends, the game mode Move to the probability change mode. Therefore, as long as the winning per 2R probability variation and 13R probability variation is won, the probability variation mode will continue, but if you win per 2R normal during this probability variation mode, it will fall from the probability variation mode to the normal mode after the jackpot game ends. Become.

  In the case of No in step S1, the game is ended without being played, and in the case of No in step S12, the process of one game is ended without providing the jackpot game.

  Next, FIG. 14 shows a procedure for determining whether or not to perform the notice effect and determining the conditions for displaying the notice effect when the special symbol lottery processing unit 110 is selected for each special figure. This will be described in detail with reference to FIG. First, in step S31, the notice effect display control unit 221 determines whether or not a special figure is hit, that is, whether or not the received game command is a hit command. When it is per special figure (Yes in step S31), the notice effect display control unit 221 performs a lottery to determine whether or not the notice effect is to be performed (step S32). When it is determined by lottery to perform the notice effect (Yes in step S33), the notice display condition determination unit 222 determines the condition for displaying the first notice effect, that is, the number of times the touch button 60 is repeatedly hit once. (Step S34).

  Next, the notice display condition determination unit 222 determines whether or not the current game mode is the probability change mode (step S35). If it is in the probability change mode (Yes in step S35), the process proceeds to step S36, and it is determined from the received game command whether the special figure is per 2R normal. When 2R is not a normal hit (No in step S36), the notice display condition determining unit 222 determines the display condition of the latter half notice effect by lottery. Specifically, the notice display condition determining unit 222 determines the number of consecutive hits of the touch button 60 by lottery from 5 to 15, from infinity (step S37). Note that the lottery performed in step S37 is set in advance so that the probability that the number of consecutive hits of the touch button 60 is selected is 50%, and the probability that 15 times and infinity are selected is 25%.

  In addition, in the case of Yes in step S36, the notice display condition determining unit 222 determines the number of consecutive hits of the touch button 60 as a condition for displaying the second half notice effect by lottery from among 5, 15 and infinity. (Step S38). In the lottery performed in step S38, since the probability that infinity is selected is 100%, the number of consecutive hits of the touch button 60 determined in step S38 is always infinite. As described above, in this embodiment, the touch button 60 is repeatedly hit when the winning per 2R is normal (unfavorable) compared to the winning per 2R and 13R (both advantageous per win). The number of times to do is increasing. In other words, when winning per 2R normal, it is more difficult to achieve the second half notice display condition than winning per 2R probability variation and 13R probability variation. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, when the winning per 2R is normal, the continuous hitting of the touch button 60 becomes infinite as the second half notice display condition, so that the condition cannot be achieved.

  In the case of No in step S35, that is, when the game mode is the normal mode, the notice display condition determining unit 222 always sets the number of repeated hits of the touch button 60 to 15 as a condition for displaying the latter half notice effect. Decide on times. In the case of No in step S31 and in the case of No in step S33, the process ends without determining the notice display condition.

  Next, a specific display mode of the notice effect will be described with reference to FIGS. First, during the probability variation mode, the winning per 13R probability variation is selected, the number of repeated hits of the touch button 60 is determined to be 1 as the first half notice display condition (step S33), and the number of repeated hits of the touch button 60 is set to 5 as the second half notice display condition The case of determination (step S37) will be described as an example.

  This example is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 15A, first, while the effect symbol is changing on the effect display device 34 (the arrow in the figure indicates that the effect symbol is changing), the notice effect display control unit 221 selects “touch button Message M1 is displayed. If the player presses the touch button 60 once, which is the second operation number, within two seconds, which is the second predetermined time after the message M1 is displayed, the first half notice display condition is achieved, so the notice effect display control unit 221 Displays the character C and the notice N1 of “Chance !?” on the effect display device 34 (see FIG. 15B). The previous notice effect, that is, “message M1 + character C + notice N1” is the first half notice effect.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 15C, the notice effect display control unit 221 displays a message M <b> 2 on the effect display device 34 as “Please touch the touch button continuously!”. If the player repeatedly hits the touch button 60 five times or more which is the first operation number within 5 seconds which is the first predetermined time after the message M2 is displayed, the second half notice display condition is achieved. The control unit 221 displays a notice N2 message N2 “Confirmation of confrontation reach !!” on the effect display device 34 (see FIG. 15D). The notice effect so far, that is, “message M2 + notice N2” is the latter notice effect.

  On the other hand, if the player does not hit the touch button 60 five times or more, the second half notice display condition is not achieved, so the notice effect display control unit 221 does not achieve the second notice display condition. A display N3 of “Escape reach confirmation !!” prepared in advance is displayed on the effect display device 34 (see FIG. 15E).

  In the present embodiment, since the notice N2 of “Confrontation reach determination!” Is displayed only when it is a probability change, this “Confrontation reach determination !!!!” is displayed. Then, the player can quickly know that it is a probable hit and will be greatly excited. On the other hand, the display N3 of “Escape reach confirmed !!” is displayed for both the 2R normal hit and the probable change, so when this display N3 is displayed, the win is won per 2R normal, and the game The player will know that the mode may fall into normal mode.

  Then, the effect symbol that has been variably displayed on the effect display device 34 is stopped, a message “Probability change continuation !!” is displayed on the screen (see FIG. 15 (f)), and the game shifts to a jackpot game. In the example of FIG. 15, since the player has won the 13R probability change, the player does not hit the touch button 60 repeatedly, and the display N3 “Escape reach confirmed!” Is displayed. Is displayed on the effect display device 34 as “Continuous change of probability !!”.

  Next, during the probability changing mode, the player is elected per 2R, the number of repeated hits of the touch button 60 is determined as one as the first half notice display condition (step S33), and the number of repeated hits of the touch button 60 is infinite as the second half notice display condition. In the following description, the case of determination (step S37) is taken as an example.

  This example is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 16 (a), first, while the effect symbol is changing on the effect display device 34 (the arrow in the figure indicates that the effect symbol is changing), the notice effect display control unit 221 selects the “touch button. Message M1 is displayed. If the player presses the touch button 60 once, which is the second operation number, within two seconds, which is the second predetermined time after the message M1 is displayed, the first half notice display condition is achieved, so the notice effect display control unit 221 Displays a notice N1 of “Pinch !?” with the character C on the effect display device 34 (see FIG. 16B).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 16C, the notice effect display control unit 221 displays a message M <b> 2 on the effect display device 34 as “Please touch the touch button continuously!”. Here, since the second half notice display condition determines that the touch button 60 is repeatedly hit at infinity (infinity is determined as the first operation count), the first predetermined time after this message M2 is displayed. No matter how many times the player strikes the touch button 60 within 5 seconds, which is the time, the second half notice display condition cannot be achieved. Therefore, the notice effect display control unit 221 does not display the notice N2 of “confrontation reach confirmation !!”, which is the latter half notice effect, on the effect display device 34. Instead, a display N3 of “Escape reach confirmation !!” prepared in advance as a case where the second half notice display condition is not achieved is displayed (see FIG. 16D).

  Here, no matter how many times the player touches the touch button 60 repeatedly, the notice N2 of “Confirmation of confrontation reach !!” is not displayed, so that the player may hit the touch button 60 repeatedly because it may have been won per 2R. Can be predicted in the process. However, there is a 25% possibility that the number of repeated hits of the touch button 60 will be infinite as the second half notice display condition even in the case of a probable change (see step S37 in FIG. 14). Even if N2 is not displayed, the interest in the game is not lost.

  Then, the effect symbol that has been variably displayed on the effect display device 34 stops, a message “falling down !!” is displayed on the screen (see FIG. 16E), and the game shifts to a jackpot game. When the jackpot game ends, the game mode falls to the normal mode.

  On the other hand, during the normal mode, the winning per 13R probability change is selected, the number of repeated hits of the touch button 60 is determined as one as the first half notice display condition (Step S33), and the number of repeated hits of the touch button 60 is set as the second half notice display condition FIG. 17 shows an example in which the number is determined 15 times (step S37).

  As shown in FIG. 17 (a), first, while the effect symbol is changing on the effect display device 34 (the arrow in the figure indicates that the effect symbol is changing), the notice effect display control unit 221 selects the “touch button. Message M1 is displayed. If the player presses the touch button 60 once, which is the second operation number, within two seconds, which is the second predetermined time after the message M1 is displayed, the first half notice display condition is achieved, so the notice effect display control unit 221 Displays the character C and the notice N1 of “Chance !?” on the effect display device 34 (see FIG. 17B).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 17C, the notice effect display control unit 221 displays a message M <b> 2 on the effect display device 34 as “Please touch the touch button continuously!”. If the player strikes the touch button 60 repeatedly for 15 or more times that is the first operation number within 5 seconds that is the first predetermined time after the message M2 is displayed, the notice display effect is displayed because the second half notice display condition is achieved. The control unit 221 displays a notice N2 message N2 “Confirmation of confrontation reach !!” on the effect display device 34 (see FIG. 17D).

  On the other hand, if the player does not hit the touch button 60 more than 15 times, the latter half notice display condition is not achieved, and therefore the notice effect display control unit 221 does not achieve the latter notice display condition. As shown in FIG. 17, a display N <b> 3 of “Escape reach confirmation !!” prepared in advance is displayed on the effect display device 34 (see FIG. 17E).

  Then, the effect symbol that has been variably displayed on the effect display device 34 is stopped, a message “probability big hit !!” is displayed on the screen (see FIG. 17 (f)), and the game shifts to jackpot game. In the example of FIG. 17, since the player has won the 13R probability change, the player does not hit the touch button 60 repeatedly, and the display N3 “Escape reach confirmed!” Is displayed. Is displayed on the effect display device 34 as “probable big hit!”.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment, in the process of operating the touch button 60, “Confrontation reach confirmation!” That confirms the probability change is displayed on the effect display device 34. You can play games while expecting. And if “Confrontation reach determination!” Is displayed, the player is very excited, but even if the touch button 60 is repeatedly hit, even if “Confrontation reach determination !!” is not displayed, it is simply the second half. Interest in the game will continue because I think that infinity may have been chosen 15 times when determining the notice display conditions. On the other hand, if “Confirmation of confrontation reach !!” is not displayed even after repeatedly hitting the touch button 60, the player may have won the 2R regular hit in the process of hitting the touch button 60 repeatedly. I don't think so and I might be disappointed. In any case, through the process of repeatedly touching the touch button 60, the player can feel anxious while predicting what type per special figure is.

  As described above, in this embodiment, since there is a difference in the determination of the number of consecutive hits of the touch button 60 that is the second half notice display condition depending on the game mode and the type per special figure, the operation of the touch button 60 simply displays the notice effect. Since the process of operating the touch button 60 can predict the game result as well as triggering the game, the announcement effect using the touch button 60 should be interesting and rich in variations. Can do. Further, since the touch button 60 is operated once as the first half notice display condition, the player can be further prompted to press the touch button 60, and the game performance is improved.

  In the above-described embodiment, the touch button 60 is operated once as the first half notice display condition. However, the first half notice display condition may not be imposed. In addition, the number of times the touch button 60 is repeatedly hit may be set as appropriate according to the specifications of the pachinko machine. Needless to say, the distribution of the winning probability of the number of consecutive hits of the touch button 60 when determining the second half notice display condition can be determined as appropriate.

  In the above-described embodiment, the first half notice display condition and the second notice display condition are determined by the number of times the touch button 60 is pressed. However, when the touch button 60 is a switch that can be rotated and pressed, A difference may be provided between the total number of rotations and the number of times of pressing, and the degree of difficulty between the first half notice display condition and the second half notice display condition may be differentiated.
