Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine, and more particularly to a pachinko machine having a plurality of variation pattern tables.

In recent years, in a pachinko gaming machine (hereinafter referred to as a pachinko machine), which is a form of gaming machine, a game state or game called a time-saving game (time-reduced game) or a probability-changing game (probability-changing game) compared to a normal game. There is a game state called so-called latent probability change that does not allow the player to recognize that the game is a probability change game, and a change pattern table in which a change time and a change mode (change pattern) of different staging patterns are specified according to each game state By switching to, you can change the variation time and variation mode of the effect symbol displayed on the liquid crystal screen, or the background aspect of the effect symbol, and increase the expectation for winning the big hit game in each gaming state Things are known.
However, in the conventional pachinko machine, since the trigger for switching the variation pattern table depends on the number of games (the number of variations of the production symbol), it is displayed on the liquid crystal screen until the predetermined number of variations is reached. There is no change in the variation time and variation mode of the production symbol, or the background mode of the production symbol (hereinafter referred to as the variation pattern), and depending on the average variation number of the game board (nail adjustment), the switching is executed. It took a considerable amount of time and caused players to get bored.
Also, what kind of performance pattern will be determined at random from the variation pattern table by a variation pattern random number acquired separately, so during the short-time game that draws the player's attention or during the probability variation game In other words, there is a possibility that so-called outreach reach will occur frequently, and the reach production that raises the expectation for winning the big hit will be missed many times, resulting in the result of increasing the frustration of the player. For example, if the game state is a latent probability change (a state in which the player is in an internal probability change state, but the player cannot recognize this), and if the reach effect is repeated many times with a small number of revolutions, the player will change the probability internally. If it is not, the result of misunderstanding will be caused, and by concealing the internal state from the player, the meaning of the latent probability of changing the expectation of the game will be lost.

However, the following embodiments do not limit the invention according to the claims, and all combinations of features described in the embodiments are included in the invention. It is not always essential to the solution.

  FIG. 1 is an overall front view of a pachinko machine 10 as an example of a gaming machine. The outline of the pachinko machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG. The pachinko machine 10 has a game area 11A in which game balls (hereinafter simply referred to as balls) are launched, and a game board 11 that is detachably attached to the inner frame 12, and the inner frame 12 can be opened and closed in the front-rear direction. And an outer frame 13 that is pivotally supported on the outer frame. In front of the game board 11, a window 12 </ b> A that is pivotably supported in the front-rear direction of the inner frame 12 is provided, and the front of the game board 11 is closed. In addition, a launch handle 103D is rotatably attached to the lower part of the pachinko machine 10, and the launch mechanism 103B mounted therein is operated by rotating the launch handle 103D, for example, clockwise by a player's operation. Drive. When the launching mechanism 103B is driven, the ball stored in the upper tray structure 16 is launched upward through the firing area between the inner guide rail 17 and the outer guide rail 18, and enters the game area 11A.

  Around the inner frame 12, a decorative lamp group 20 such as a speaker 19 and LEDs is disposed. The speaker 19 and the decorative lamp group 20 are members for enhancing the effect in the game, and are controlled by the main controller 100 described later along the progress of the game.

Next, the gaming parts arranged on the gaming board 11 will be described. A plurality of guide nails and windmills (not shown) are planted on the surface of the game board 11, and the balls that have entered the game area 11A flow down while being guided by these guide nails and windmills.
An effect symbol display device 30 is disposed substantially in front of the game board 11. The effect symbol display device 30 is fitted into the game board 11 through a mounting hole (not shown) penetrating the game board 11 in the front-rear direction.
The effect symbol display device 30 has, for example, a liquid crystal screen, and displays a plurality of effect symbols composed of numbers and specific characters in the liquid crystal screen. Effect, notice effect, background change, etc.) are displayed, and the effect symbol is stopped and displayed in a manner indicating the result of the success / failure determination described later. The effect symbol display device 30 may be a CRT, drum type, or the like.
In addition, a plurality of holding ball display lamp groups 21 </ b> A are disposed below the liquid crystal screen in the effect symbol display device 30. Under the control of the main controller 100, the holding ball display lamp group 21A is turned on every time a ball wins a first starting winning component 22 or a second starting winning component 23, which will be described later. The remaining number) is notified to the player.

A normal symbol starting part 25 is disposed on the left side of the effect symbol display device 30. The normal symbol starting component 25 is a gate-shaped component that opens in the vertical direction, and a normal symbol starting switch 25A is provided inside (see FIG. 2). When the ball passes through the normal symbol starting component 25, it is detected by the normal symbol starting switch 25 </ b> A, and a detection signal is output to the main controller 100.
Based on the detection signal from the normal symbol start switch 25A, the main control device 100 executes a normal random number acquisition process, a normal figure win / fail determination process, and a normal figure change display process.

A plurality of start winning components 22 and 23 are arranged below the effect symbol display device 30.
The first start winning component 22 positioned above is formed as a fixed start port for receiving the ball from the open opening. On the other hand, the second start winning component 23 arranged immediately below the first start winning component 22 is a variable start opening that can change the difficulty of winning a prize by opening and closing a pair of opening and closing blades 24 provided on the left and right. .
The opening / closing wing 24 is opened or closed by being driven and controlled by the main controller 100 by a start port solenoid 35 mounted on the back side of the game board 11. The opening operation of the opening / closing blade 24 is executed based on the fact that the above-described normal symbol is stopped in a manner of winning, and it becomes easy for the ball to win a prize in the second start winning component 23 during the opening operation. On the other hand, when the open / close blade 24 is closed, it is difficult (including a case where a winning is impossible) for the ball to win the second start winning component 23.

  A first start detection switch 22A and a second start detection switch 23A are provided inside the first start winning component 22 and the second start winning component 23, respectively. When the ball wins the first start winning component 22 or the second start winning component 23, the first start detecting switch 22A or the second start detecting switch 23A detects the winning of the ball, and the detection signal is the main control device 100. Is output.

  Main controller 100 transmits a payout command to payout control board 103 based on a detection signal from first start detection switch 22A or second start detection switch 23A, and pays out three prize balls by prize ball payout device 103A. A prize ball payout process to be issued, a special figure random number acquisition process, which will be described later, a special symbol (special figure) success / failure determination process, and a special symbol (special figure) variable display process are executed.

  A large winning component 26 is disposed immediately below the second starting winning component 23. The big winning component 26 is mounted on the back side of the gaming board 11 by opening and closing the opening / closing plate 27, and a rectangular winning opening that opens to the front of the gaming board 11, an opening / closing plate 27 that opens or closes the winning opening. And a large winning detection switch 26A for detecting a ball taken into the winning opening. The opening / closing plate 27 is a plate body that is opened by the operation of the big winning solenoid 28 that is driven by the control of the main control device 100 based on the execution of the big hit game described later. The main control device 100 executes payout control processing based on the detection signal from the big winning detection switch 26A of the ball taken in by opening the opening / closing plate 27.

  A plurality of general winning components 29 are disposed on both sides of the second starting winning component 23. The general winning component 29 is formed as a fixed starting port for receiving a ball from the receiving port opened upward, like the first starting winning component 22. A general winning detection switch 29A is provided inside the general winning component 29. When the ball wins the general winning component 29, the general winning detection switch 29A detects the winning of the ball, and the detection signal is sent to the main controller 100. Is output. Main controller 100 executes the same prize ball payout processing as described above based on the detection signal from general winning detection switch 29A.

  On the decorative component 11B on the left arranged on the game board 11, a special symbol variation display 31 (hereinafter referred to as a special diagram variation display) and a normal symbol variation display 32 (hereinafter referred to as a general diagram) are arranged in order from the top. A special figure hold indicator 33 and a universal figure hold indicator 34 are provided.

The special figure fluctuation display 31 is composed of, for example, a 7-segment lamp arranged in parallel, and a special figure fluctuation display process executed by the main controller 100 displays, for example, numbers 1 to 9 at high speed for a certain period. Then, it is stopped and displayed in a manner indicating the result of the special figure success / failure determination process.
Here, for example, when the result of the special figure success / failure determination process is a win, the same number (7, 7, 8, 8, etc.) is stopped and displayed on the 7-segment lamps arranged in parallel, and they are out of place. Stops and displays symbols such as (---) and numbers different from each other.
Further, the start timing and stop timing of the special symbol variation display are synchronized with the above-described variation display start timing and stop timing of the effect symbol. Note that the fluctuation display time of the special symbol and effect drawing is defined by a special figure fluctuation display process described later.

The universal fluctuation indicator 32 is constituted by, for example, a lamp that displays a circle and a cross symbol arranged in parallel. For example, the universal symbol change display 32 uses a normal symbol fluctuation display process executed by the main controller 100 based on a detection signal output from the normal symbol start switch 25A to, for example, a constant lamp for displaying a circle and a cross symbol. After blinking at a high speed for a period, it is stopped in a manner showing the result of the normal-use determination processing. The normal / bad determination process is a process executed based on a random number acquired in response to an input from the normal symbol start switch 25A. The acquired random number and the normal / normal determination determination table are stored in the ROM. By comparing with the random number, a result (win / fail) corresponding to the acquired random number is extracted.
Here, for example, if the result of the normal / unusual determination process is successful, only the lamp that displays the circle symbol is lit, and if it is off, only the lamp that displays the cross symbol is lit. .

The special figure holding indicator 33 is a form in which four circular lamps are arranged in parallel so as to correspond to the maximum holding number, and the detection signal from the first start detection switch 22A or the second start detection switch 23A is used as a detection signal. Based on this, the main control device 100 sequentially turns on the lamps, and performs control so that the lamps are turned off each time the special symbol success / failure determination process and the symbol variation process are executed.
Similar to the special figure hold indicator 33, the general figure hold indicator 34 has four circular lamps arranged in parallel so as to correspond to the maximum hold number, and is detected from the normal symbol start switch 25A. Based on the signal, main controller 100 sequentially turns on the lamps, and performs control so that the lamp is extinguished each time the normal / unusual determination process and the normal fluctuation display process are executed.

Hereinafter, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 will be described with reference to the control block shown in FIG.
In the figure, the main control device 100 is a device that controls the entire game based on signals from each detection switch input via the input relay board 100A. The main control device 100 has a CPU as a computing means and a program required for the game. This is a so-called computer having a stored ROM, a RAM for temporarily storing information necessary for a game, and an input / output port.
The main control device 100 is connected to a sub-control device 101, a panel device relay board 102, and a payout control board 103. The sub-control device 101, the board surface device relay board 102, and the payout control board 103 operate based on a control command or a control signal transmitted from the main control device 100.

The sub-control device 101 is a computer having the same configuration as that of the main control device 100, and based on control commands (production change commands, voice control commands, lamp control commands) transmitted from the main control device 100 A control command is transmitted to each of the control board 101A, the amplifier board 101B, and the lamp control board 101C.
The effect control board 101A is a board having a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, an input / output port, a calculation means such as a VDP, and a storage means, and a ROM based on the effect change command transmitted from the sub-control device 101. Is extracted from the plurality of moving image data stored in the display, and the moving image data having a length corresponding to the variable display time information included in the effect change command is extracted and displayed on the effect symbol display device 30. Enliven the game.
The board surface device relay board 102 is a relay board connected to each game component provided on the game board 11, and drives and controls each game component based on a control signal from the main controller 100.
The payout control board 103 is a computer having the same configuration as that of the main controller 100, and drives and controls the prize ball payout device 103A based on a payout command transmitted from the main controller 100. Further, the payout control board 103 drives and controls the launch mechanism 103B based on a firing permission command, a firing prohibition command transmitted from the main control device 100, or an output from a touch sensor provided on the firing handle 103D. The payout control board 103 is also connected to the CR unit 103C, and the ball lending operation to the player based on the output from the ball lending switch disposed in the CR unit 103C or the return switch, the prepaid card returning operation Execute.
Hereinafter, main control processing of the pachinko machine 10 having the above configuration will be described.

<About random number acquisition processing>
Main controller 100 executes special figure random number acquisition processing based on a detection signal from first start detection switch 22A or second start detection switch 23A. The special figure random number acquisition process is triggered by the input of a detection signal from the first start detection switch 22A or the second start detection switch 23A, for example, from a loop counter that can take an integer value from 0 to 65535 that is counted up at high speed. This is a process for acquiring one random value. The acquired random number value is stored in a random number storage area in the RAM.
In the present embodiment, up to four random number values are stored in the random number storage area in the RAM, and the random number values are sequentially stored according to the order of the obtained random number values until the random number value reaches four.
On the other hand, when four random number values are already stored in the RAM, the random number acquisition process is not executed even if a detection signal is input from the first start detection switch 22A or the second start detection switch 23A.
Further, main controller 100 executes symbol random number acquisition processing based on a detection signal from first start detection switch 22A or second start detection switch 23A. The symbol random number acquisition process is performed, for example, from a loop counter that can take an integer value from 0 to 9 that counts up at high speed, triggered by the input of a detection signal from the first start detection switch 22A or the second start detection switch 23A. This is a process of acquiring two random values. The acquired random number value is stored in a random number storage area in the RAM.
Further, main controller 100 also executes a variation pattern random number acquisition process simultaneously with the above-described special figure random number acquisition process and symbol random number acquisition process. Fluctuation pattern random number acquisition processing is triggered by the input of a detection signal from the first start detection switch 22A or the second start detection switch 23A, for example, from a loop counter that can take an integer value from 0 to 10 that is counted up at high speed. This is a process for acquiring one random value. The acquired random number value is stored in a random number storage area in the RAM as described above.

  The main control device 100 turns on the lamp of the special figure holding display 33 via the panel device relay board 102 every time a special figure random number is acquired, and transmits a lamp control command to the sub control apparatus 101 to perform sub control. The device 101 turns on the lamps constituting the holding ball display lamp group 21A based on the command. The lamp continues to be turned on until the special figure determination process described below is executed and is turned off every time the special figure determination process is executed.

<Regarding special figure decision processing and jackpot game>
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a flow of special figure determination processing.
Main controller 100 executes the special figure determination process based on the fact that the special figure random number is stored in the RAM. As shown in the figure, main controller 100 determines whether or not there is a random number value stored in RAM in S100. If YES, the process proceeds to S101, and if NO, one process is terminated.
In S101, main controller 100 determines whether or not the special symbol is stopped. If the determination is YES, the process proceeds to S102, and if the determination is NO, one process is terminated. That is, when the special symbol is changing, the special symbol success / failure determination process is not executed. In S102, main controller 100 determines whether or not the big hit flag is OFF. If YES, the process proceeds to S103, and if NO, the current gaming state is a big hit game, and one process is terminated.

In S103, main controller 100 reads out the earliest stored random number from among the random values stored in the RAM (FIFO), and reads the special figure success / failure determination table from ROM. After determining whether or not the random number value read with reference to is stored, and storing the determination result (hit or miss) of the success or failure in the RAM, the process shifts to a special figure variation process. The processing from S100 to S104 is a special figure success / failure determination process, and the main controller 100 in this case functions as a special figure success / failure determination means.
The above-mentioned special figure success / failure determination table is a map in which the success / failure results (hit or miss) corresponding to each acquired random number are described. The probability that the result is a big hit can be set arbitrarily. For example, the big hit probability in this embodiment is set to about 1/99.
In addition, when a probability variation function (probability variation function) described later is operating, a special figure success / failure determination table in which the probability that the success / failure result is a big hit is set to about 1 / 9.9 is referred to. In the case where the probability changing function is operating, the expectation of winning the big hit is dramatically improved.

Further, the big hit game executed based on the result of the special figure winning / not-judging determination is that the main control device 100 drives the big winning solenoid 28 via the board device relay board 102 and the big winning component 26 A game in which the opening / closing plate 27 is opened. The opening operation of the opening / closing plate 27 once (one round) is the earlier condition from the start of opening until ten balls are detected by the big winning detection switch 26A, or until 24 seconds have elapsed from the start of opening. Continue until is established.
In the jackpot game of the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the opening operation is performed up to 5 times (5 rounds) according to the types of symbols that are stopped and displayed on the special symbol display 31 and the effect symbol display device 30. ) Or 15 times (15 rounds).

During the big hit game, the main control device 100 transmits a payout command to the payout control board 103 based on the input from the big win detection switch 26A, and the payout control board 103 drives the prize ball payout device 103A based on the payout command. For example, 15 balls are paid out to the player for each winning of one ball.
That is, the player can obtain a large number of prize balls (10 × 15 × 15 = 2250) in a very short time by executing the jackpot game.

When the special figure win / fail determination result is “big hit”, the open time extension function and the fluctuating time reduction function (so-called short time game) are activated after the big hit game ends. The opening time extension function is a normal game (a state in which the opening time extension function and the variable time reduction function are not activated) when the opening / closing blade 24 of the second start winning component 23 is in the open state by driving the start opening solenoid 35. It is a function that becomes longer than the case. The variation time shortening function is a function for shortening the variation display time of the normal symbol and the special symbol as compared with the normal state.
The time-saving game is activated by setting a time-short flag (time-short flag 1 or time-short flag 2) for storing the current gaming state at the end of the big hit game (see FIG. 7).

In this embodiment, the short-time game is classified into “short-time game 1” or “short-time game 2”. Here, the short-time game 1 is a short-time function that continues from the end of the big hit game until the special symbol is displayed, for example, 10 times, and is activated when the short-time flag 1 is set to ON by a game state switching process described later. (See FIG. 7).
The short-time game 2 is a time-shortening function that continues from the end of the big hit game until the special symbol is changed and displayed 100 times, for example, and operates when the short-time flag 2 is set to ON by a game state switching process described later. (See FIG. 7). Which time the short game is to be played after the big hit game is finished is determined by the gaming state at the time when the result of the special figure determination is a big hit. The time flag ON / OFF will be described later.

When the special figure winning / failing determination result is “big hit”, the probability variation function is activated with a predetermined probability (for example, one half) after the big hit game ends. As described above, the probability variation function is a function that improves the probability that the result of the special figure success / failure determination will be a big hit, as compared to the normal state in which the probability variation function is not activated.
Like the short-time game, the probability change function is activated by setting a probability change flag (not shown) that stores the current game state to ON when the big hit game ends. In addition, the probability changing function continues, for example, until the next jackpot acquisition, and continues or ends (half probability change flag OFF) at one-half of the acquired jackpot.

Hereinafter, the special figure changing process will be described with reference to FIGS.
The special figure change process executed after the special figure success / failure determination process is a process executed to make the player recognize the result of the above-described determination of success / failure. With this process, the special symbol on the special symbol fluctuation display 31 and the effect symbol on the effect symbol display device 30 are displayed in a variable manner and then stopped.
As shown in FIG. 4A, main controller 100 executes a stop symbol determination process in S200. FIG. 4B is a subchart showing the flow of the stop symbol determination process, and FIG. 4C is a schematic diagram of the symbol determination table. Hereinafter, the stop symbol determination process will be described with reference to FIG.
In S150, main controller 100 reads the symbol random number acquired in the random number acquisition process described above, and proceeds to S151. In S151, main controller 100 determines whether or not the result of the above-described determination processing is successful. If YES, the process proceeds to S152, and if NO, the process proceeds to S154.
In S152, main controller 100 refers to the winning symbol determination table stored in the ROM, determines a winning symbol corresponding to the symbol random number in S153, and ends one process. Further, main controller 100 refers to the out symbol determination table stored in the ROM in S154, determines an out symbol corresponding to the symbol random number in S155, and ends one process.

  FIG. 4C is a schematic diagram of a winning symbol determination table and a missing symbol determination table referred to in S152 and S154. As shown in the figure, each symbol random number defines a corresponding winning symbol or off symbol, and the mode of the stop symbol differs depending on the type of symbol random number.

For example, when the winning symbol determination table is referred to and the symbol random number is 3, the stopping symbol is determined as the winning symbol 1, and when the symbol random number is 9, the stopping symbol is changed to the winning symbol 2. It is determined. Here, when the stop symbol is determined to be the winning symbol 1, for example, the number currently displayed in a variable manner on the effect symbol display device 30 stops at the same odd number or the same specific character, and the player wins 15 rounds. Notify that.
On the other hand, when the stop symbol is determined to be the winning symbol 2, the number currently displayed in the variation on the effect symbol display device 30 is finally stopped at the same even number or the same specific character, and the player wins 15 rounds. Notify that. Note that the sub-control device 101 randomly determines what even number, odd number, or specific character stops in the effect symbol display device 30.

  In addition, for example, when the off symbol determination table is referred to and the symbol random number is 3, the stop symbol is determined to be off symbol 1, and when the symbol random number is 9, the stop symbol is off symbol 2 To be determined. Here, when the stop symbol is determined to be the off symbol 1 and the off symbol 2, for example, three numbers and characters that are variably displayed on the effect symbol display device 30 will not stop at the same number or character in the end. Then, the player is informed that the result of the determination is incorrect. In addition, the sub control apparatus 101 determines at random which kind of effect symbol stops in the effect symbol display device 30.

  Returning to the main chart, main controller 100 selects a variation pattern table in S201. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing the contents of a plurality of variation pattern tables (a1, a2, a′1, a′2, b1, b2, b′1, b′2,..., D′ 2). FIG. 6 is a sub chart showing the variation pattern selection process. As shown in FIG. 5, each variation pattern table includes production pattern variation pattern information corresponding to a plurality of variation pattern random numbers, and production symbol and special symbol variation time information. The variation pattern random number is a random number stored in the RAM in the above-described symbol random number acquisition process.

For example, the variation pattern table a1 is a table that is referred to when the stop symbol is removed by the above-described stop symbol determination process and is determined to be symbol 1 (the result of failure determination is unacceptable). In the range of 7, the variation time is defined as 12 seconds, and the variation pattern is defined as the normal variation 1. When the fluctuation pattern random number is in the range of 8 to 10, the fluctuation time is 15 seconds, and the fluctuation pattern is defined as outlier reach 1.
The variation pattern table a′1 is a table that is referred to when the stop symbol is a winning symbol 1 (a result of the determination of success / failure is a hit) by the above-described stop symbol determination process, and the obtained variation pattern random number is 0. In the range of ˜3, the fluctuation time is defined as 60 seconds and the fluctuation pattern is defined as hit reach 1. Further, when the fluctuation pattern random number is in the range of 4 to 10, the fluctuation time is defined as 100 seconds, and the fluctuation pattern is defined as the hit reach 2.
As described above, in the variation pattern tables a1 to d′ 2, the variation time and variation pattern corresponding to the variation pattern random number are individually defined. The variation time of the special symbol and the production symbol, the variation pattern of the production symbol Depends on what variation pattern table is referenced.

Which variation pattern table is referred to among the plurality of variation pattern tables varies greatly depending on the current gaming state. Hereinafter, the relationship between the variation pattern table and the gaming state will be described.
FIGS. 9A and 9B show a variation pattern selection state defined by the relationship between the gaming state (ON / OFF of the time reduction flag) and the operating state of the reach counter (ON / OFF of the reach counter operating flag), It is a conceptual diagram which shows the relationship between a fluctuation pattern selection state and a fluctuation pattern table.
As shown in FIG. 9A, each variation pattern selection state can be classified into four types A to D. The variation pattern selection state A is a state in which the game state is a normal state (time-short flag OFF) and the reach counter is not operating (reach counter operation flag OFF), and the condition is satisfied as shown in FIG. 9B. In this case, any one of the variation pattern tables a1 to a′2 is referred to depending on the type of the stop symbol (out symbol 1, off symbol 2, per symbol 1, per symbol 2).
The variation pattern selection state B is a state in which the game state is the time-short game 1 (the time-short flag 1 is ON) and the reach counter is in operation (the reach counter operation flag is ON). One of the variation pattern tables b1 to b′2 is referred to depending on the type of symbol.
Further, the variation pattern selection state C is a state in which the game state is the time-short game 1 (the time-short flag 1 is ON) and the reach counter is not in operation (the reach counter operation flag is OFF). Any one of the fluctuation pattern tables c1 to c2 ′ is referred to.
That is, the variation pattern selection state B and the variation pattern selection state C are distinguished depending on whether the reach counter operation flag is ON or OFF, and the change is made on condition that the reach counter operation flag is changed from ON to OFF. The pattern selection state B is switched to the variation pattern selection state C. Further, the variation pattern selection state D is a state in which the game state is the time-short game 2 (the time-short flag 2 is ON) and the reach counter is not in operation (the reach counter operation flag is OFF). Any one of the variation pattern tables d1 to d2 ′ is referred to. Based on the above, the variation pattern table selection process will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 6 is a subchart showing the flow of the variation pattern table selection process. As shown in the figure, main controller 100 determines in S250 whether the reach counter operation flag is ON. If the determination is YES, the process proceeds to S251 because it corresponds to the variation pattern selection state B. If NO, the process proceeds to S258.
The variation pattern selection state B is a state in which the time reduction flag 1 is ON and the reach counter operation flag is ON, but in this embodiment, if the reach counter flag is ON by a game state switching process described later. Since the time reduction flag 1 is always set to ON, in S250, it is determined only whether the reach counter operation flag is ON or OFF.
In S251, main controller 100 reads the special figure success / failure determination result stored in the RAM by the above-described special figure success / failure determination processing, and proceeds to S252 if the result of the determination is a hit, and to S255 if the result is a failure. .

In S252, main controller 100 determines whether the stop symbol determined by the stop symbol determination process described above is a winning symbol 1. If YES, it reads fluctuation pattern table b'1 from the ROM in S253, and if NO, in S254. The variation pattern table b′2 is read and the process is terminated. In S255, main controller 100 determines whether the stop symbol determined by the above-described stop symbol determination process is out of symbol 1 or not. If YES, it reads variation pattern table b1 in S256, and if NO, variation pattern table b2 in S257. To finish the process.
As described above, according to the processing from S250 to S257, one variation pattern table is selected from a plurality of variation pattern tables according to the variation pattern selection state and the stopped symbol (winning symbol 1 or 2, outlier symbol 1 or 2). The Of the processes from S250 to S257, the processes from S251 to S257 are processes common to all the variation pattern selection states, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted, and only main determination processes will be described.

  In S258, main controller 100 determines whether or not time reduction flag 1 is ON. If the determination is YES, main controller 100 shifts to processing after S259 because it corresponds to variation pattern selection state C, and if NO, shifts to S266. To do. In S266, main controller 100 determines whether time reduction flag 2 is ON. If the determination is YES, main controller 100 proceeds to the process after S267 because it corresponds to variation pattern selection state D. If NO, the process after S274 is performed. Transition to processing. In addition, when the determination in S266 is NO, this corresponds to the variation pattern selection state A.

  Returning to the main chart of FIG. 4 (a), main controller 100 reads the random number obtained by the above-described variation pattern random number acquisition process in S202 from the RAM, and based on the random number, the random number from the variation pattern table read in S203. Extract and determine the variation time of the special symbol and the production symbol corresponding to.

Main controller 100 starts the special symbol variation display based on the variation time of the special symbol determined in S203 in S204.
Specifically, a fluctuation start signal is output to the board surface relay board 102, and a fluctuation timer for measuring a time outside the figure is operated based on the special symbol fluctuation time, until the special symbol fluctuation time elapses. The figure fluctuation display 31 is variably displayed.
The display mode (stop mode) of the special symbol that stops after the lapse of the fluctuation time is set in advance based on the determination result and the type of stop symbol. For example, the determination result is a big hit, and the stop symbol is hit. In the case of symbol 1, the same number of odd numbers such as “7, 7”, “3, 3”, etc. are stopped and displayed in parallel on the special symbol fluctuation display 31 composed of 7 segments. In the case of 2, even numbers such as “2 · 2” and “4 · 4” are stopped and displayed in parallel. That is, even if the result of the special symbol success / failure determination is the same, the display mode of the special symbol that stops after the lapse of the variation time is distinguished depending on the type of the stopped symbol.
On the other hand, if the result of the determination is wrong and the stop symbol is out of symbol 1, the special symbol variation display 31 composed of 7 segments cannot recognize the same Arabic numerals as “---” or the like. Stop and display geometric symbols in parallel. In addition, when the stop symbol is out of symbol 2, for example, “2 · −”, “− · 4”, etc., one of the seven segments is displayed as an Arabic numeral, and the other seven segment is marked with an Arabic numeral. Stop displaying geometric symbols that cannot be recognized as.
In other words, even if the result of the special symbol success / failure determination is the same deviation, the display mode of the special symbol that stops after the lapse of the variation time is distinguished depending on the type of the stop symbol (the symbol 1 or symbol 2). In this way, by distinguishing the display mode of the special symbol according to the type of the stop symbol, if the player visually recognizes the special symbol fluctuation display 31, the type of the off symbol can be known, and in particular, the variation pattern selection described later. The game in the states B and C can be further increased.
The display mode of the special symbol is not limited to the above example. For example, the display mode of the special symbol at the time of the big hit and the display mode of the special symbol at the time of losing when the stop symbol is determined as the symbol 2 It is good also as an aspect which approximated so that discrimination | determination was difficult only by glanced. Further, the configuration of the special figure fluctuation display 31 is not limited to 7 segments, and may be constituted by a plurality of lamps, and the type of winning symbol or missed symbol may be notified by the lighting mode of the plurality of lamps. .
The special symbol is stopped by outputting a fluctuation stop signal to the panel board relay board 102 based on the fact that a predetermined fluctuation time has elapsed.

  The main control device 100 transmits the effect change command to the sub-control device 101 in S205. The effect change command includes information related to the effect symbol change time corresponding to the change time of the special symbol determined in S203, the effect symbol change pattern, and the result of the special symbol success / failure determination. Receiving the effect change command, the sub-control device 101 outputs the command to the effect control board 101A.

  The effect control board 101A changes the effect symbol by the change pattern corresponding to the information related to the effect symbol change pattern included in the effect change command from the plurality of change patterns stored in the ROM in advance by receiving the effect change command. indicate.

  Specifically, for example, when the effect symbol variation pattern included in the effect variation command is “normal variation” defined in the variation pattern table a1 of FIG. 5, as shown in FIG. On the plurality of hit lines L1 to L3 set on the screen of the apparatus 30, different effect symbols are stopped and displayed in advance, and the remaining one effect symbol is stopped and displayed simultaneously with the elapse of the effect symbol variation time. The effect symbol variation time and the special symbol variation time correspond to each other, and the seven-segment number variably displayed on the special symbol variation display 31 and the effect symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 30 are stopped simultaneously. Is displayed. That is, the stop display of the special symbol and the stop display of the effect symbol are linked to each other. As described above, when the effect symbol variation pattern is “normal variation”, it is difficult for the player to have a sense of expectation for the big hit when the two effect symbols are stopped in advance.

On the other hand, when the effect symbol variation pattern included in the effect variation command is “displacement reach” defined in the variation pattern table a1 of FIG. 5, the screen of the effect symbol display device 30 is shown in FIG. 10B. The same two effect symbols are stopped and displayed in advance (reach state) on the plurality of hit lines L1 to L3 set to “1”, and one effect symbol remaining simultaneously with the elapse of the variable display time is stopped and displayed.
As described above, when the effect symbol variation pattern is “out of reach”, the player can win a big hit if one effect symbol is aligned on the hit line at the stage where two effect symbols are stopped in advance. Until one production symbol is stopped and displayed, it is possible to have a sense of expectation for the big hit. In this example, since the effect symbol variation pattern is “out of reach”, the last one effect symbol is not stopped and displayed on the hit line.

Further, when the effect symbol variation pattern included in the effect variation command is “winning reach” defined in the variation pattern table a′1 in FIG. 5, as shown in FIG. The same effect design is stopped and displayed in advance on a plurality of hit lines L1 to L3 set on the screen (reach state), and one effect design remaining on the winning line is stopped on the hit line. indicate. That is, the player is stopped and displayed in such a manner that the player can recognize that the result of the special figure success / failure determination is “big hit”.
In each variation pattern table a1 to d′ 2, “normal variation”, “outreach reach”, and “winning reach” are defined as production symbol variation patterns, and numerical values from 1 to 4 indicating the types are provided. Although attached, the numerical value indicates a difference in special symbol variation time (effect symbol variation time).
That is, for example, even if the “outreach reach” is the same, it is common for “outreach reach 1” and “outreach reach 2” to cultivate a reach state, but the time until all effect symbols are stopped and displayed. And the types of effects (presence / absence of notice effect, presence / absence of background change, etc.) developed until the effect symbol is stopped and displayed are different. Moreover, in this embodiment, although the numerical value from 1-4 was attached for convenience, it is not limited to this, It can be set as the further subdivided type. Further, the presence / absence of a notice effect, the presence / absence of a background change, and the like may be determined separately by lottery using random numbers.

Here, the variation pattern tables b1, b2, b′1, b′2 and the variation pattern tables c1, c2, c′1, c′2 which are characteristic in the present embodiment will be described in detail. As described above, the variation pattern tables b1 to b′2 are tables that are referred to in the variation pattern selection state B (time flag 1 (ON) and reach counter operation flag ON).
The variation pattern tables c1 to c′2 are tables that are referred to in the variation pattern selection state C (time-short flag 1 (ON) and reach counter operation flag OFF).
Then, comparing the variation pattern tables b1, b2, and c1, c2 that are referred to when the result of the determination of validity is out of the above variation pattern tables, the variation pattern tables b1, b2 include the type of stop symbol (disappearance). “Normal variation” and “Out of reach” are defined as the design symbol variation pattern corresponding to the symbol 1 or 2) and the random number for determining the variation pattern.
On the other hand, in the variation pattern tables c1 and c2, only “normal variation” is defined as the effect symbol variation pattern corresponding to the variation pattern determining random number regardless of the stop symbol type.
In other words, when the current game is the time-short flag 1 (ON) and the reach counter operation flag is ON (variation pattern selection state B), if the result of the determination is wrong, the effect symbol depends on the stop symbol type. Is determined whether the current game is the time-short flag 1 (ON) and the reach counter operation flag is OFF (variation pattern selection state C), while the game is either “normal fluctuation” or “out of reach”. When the result of the above is out of place, the effect symbol is only “normal fluctuation” regardless of the type of the stop symbol.

  That is, the pachinko machine 10 in the present embodiment has a plurality of variation pattern table groups (b1 to b′2, c1 and c′2) referred to when the gaming state is a short-time game, and This is a form in which switching of the table group to be referred to is executed by ON / OFF of a reach counter operation flag.

Further, as described above, in the variation pattern tables c1 and c2 that are referred to when the result of the determination is incorrect, only “normal variation” is defined as the effect symbol variation pattern corresponding to the variation pattern determination random number. Therefore, when the reach counter operation flag is changed from ON to OFF, when the change pattern selection state C is entered, the effect symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 30 remains when the reach symbol is reached. Without confirming the stop display of the effect symbol, it can be recognized that the result of the determination is a big hit, and the excitement during the short-time game can be increased.
In addition, since only “normal variation” is defined in the variation pattern tables c1 and c2, a reach state is not created when the result of the determination of success / failure is out of order, and a variation pattern including “outreach reach”. By continuing to refer to the table b2, it is possible to reliably prevent the reach from being repeated many times during the short game 1 when the interest in the jackpot is increased and the player to be awakened.

Returning to FIG. 4, the processing after S206 will be described.
In S206, main controller 100 determines whether or not hourly flag 1 or hourly flag 2 is ON. If YES, the process proceeds to S207, and if NO, one process is terminated.
The main control device 100 decrements the time variation counter by 1 in S207, and proceeds to S208. The short-time variation counter is a counter that counts the number of times the short-time game is played, and when the time-variation counter reaches “0”, the short-time game ends in S209. The main controller 100 determines whether or not the hour / short fluctuation counter is 0 in S208. If YES, the main controller 100 proceeds to S209, sets the hour / short flag 1 or the hour / short flag 2 to OFF, and proceeds to S210. In the case of NO, one process is finished.
In S210, main controller 100 determines whether the reach counter operation flag is ON. If YES, the main controller 100 proceeds to S211 and, if NO, ends one process. Main controller 100 sets the reach counter operation flag to OFF in S211, and ends one process. That is, the reach counter operation flag is set to OFF at the same time as the time reduction flag (time reduction flag 1) is turned OFF by the processing of S210 and S211.
As described above, as shown in the flow of FIG. 4, the processing from S200 to S205 is the special symbol variation processing, and the main control device 100 in this case functions as a special symbol variation display means.

<About jackpot game processing>
Hereinafter, the jackpot game process will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.
In S300, main controller 100 determines whether or not the special symbol that is stopped and displayed is a mode indicating a win based on the variable stop signal output from main controller 100. If YES, the process proceeds to S301. In the case of NO, one process is terminated. Main controller 100 sets the release pattern in S301, sets the big hit flag to ON in S302, and starts the big hit game.
The opening pattern is the maximum number of rounds of the opening / closing plate 27 that is opened during the jackpot game based on the type of jackpot. In the present embodiment, half of the jackpot is continued for five rounds and the remaining half is 15 rounds. Set as continuation. It is also possible to continue 15 rounds or 5 rounds for all big hits.

In S303, main controller 100 determines whether or not the current gaming state is a short-time game, that is, whether short-time flag 1 or short-time flag 2 is ON. If YES, the process proceeds to S304, and if NO, to S307. Transition.
In S304, main controller 100 sets the time variation counter to 100 times, and proceeds to S305. In 305, main controller 100 sets time reduction flag 2 to ON, and proceeds to S306. If the hour / hour flag 1 is already ON, the hour / hour flag 1 is set to OFF and then the hour / hour flag 2 is set to ON. The main controller 100 ends the big hit game by setting the big hit flag to OFF in S306, and ends one process.

  In S307, main controller 100 sets the time variation counter to 10 times, and proceeds to S308. The main controller 100 sets the time reduction flag 1 to ON in S308, and proceeds to S309. The main controller 100 sets the reach counter operation flag to ON in S309, and proceeds to S310. The main controller 100 sets the reach counter twice in S310, and proceeds to S311. Here, the reach counter is, for example, measurement means on software, and when the time-short game 1 and the reach counter operation flag is ON (variation pattern selection state B), that is, the variation pattern table b2 is selected. Subtracted when the variation pattern of the effect symbol is determined to be out of reach 3 in S203 of the special diagram variation process. Detailed processing will be described later. Main controller 100 ends the big hit game by setting the big hit flag to OFF in S311.

  As mentioned above, the process from S300 to S302 is a big hit game process, and the main control device 100 in this case functions as a big hit game execution means. The processing from S303 to S305 and the processing from S307 to S308 are gaming state switching processing. In this case, the main controller 100 functions as gaming state switching means. Further, the processes of S309 and S310 are processes for starting the counting operation of the reach counter as the reach number counting means based on the fact that the gaming state is changed from the normal game to the short-time game 1 (the short-time flag 1 is ON). In this case, the main controller 100 functions as a count start unit.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, in the processing of S307 to S310 described above, when the current game state is a normal game (time flag OFF), the special symbol is displayed in a variable manner 10 times from the end of the big hit game. Until the game state is switched to the short-time game 1 (time-short flag 1 (ON)), and the game state is switched to the short-time game 1, the reach counter is set a predetermined number of times (for example, twice) And the reach counter operation flag is set to ON, and the number of times of reach is counted from the start of the time-saving game 1.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the reach count process executed together with the special figure changing process when the gaming state is the short-time game 1 and the reach counter operation flag is ON.
As shown in the figure, main controller 100 determines in S400 whether the reach counter operation flag is ON. When the determination is YES, the process proceeds to S401, and when the determination is NO, one process is terminated. In S401, the main controller 100 determines that the fluctuation pattern table b2 has been selected in the processing of S201, in other words, the time flag 1 is ON and the reach counter operation flag is ON, and the stop symbol is removed and the symbol 2 is determined. If YES, the process proceeds to S402, and if NO, one process is terminated.
Main controller 100 decrements the reach counter by 1 in S402, and proceeds to S403. The main control apparatus 100 determines whether the reach counter is 0 in S403. If YES, the main control apparatus 100 proceeds to S404, and if NO, ends one process.
In S404, main controller 100 sets the reach counter operation flag to OFF based on the fact that the number of occurrences of outreach (outreach reach 3) has reached a predetermined number (2 times), and performs one process. finish.
As described above, the processing from S400 to S404 is the reach count counting process. In this case, the main control device 100 has the short-time game 1 on condition that the gaming state is the short-time game 1 and the reach counter operation flag is ON. It functions as a reach count counting means for measuring the number of reach since the start of (reach reach 3).
The reach number counting process may be executed when the special symbol corresponding to the symbol 2 is displayed on the special symbol fluctuation display 31.

Hereinafter, a characteristic game flow of the pachinko machine 10 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 shows a flow until the game state shifts from the normal game to the short-time game 1 after returning to the normal game after the big hit game.
As described in S308 and S309 described above, when the big hit game acquired during the normal game is ended, the state shifts to the variation pattern selection state B in which the time reduction flag 1 is ON and the reach counter operation flag is ON. In this state, the special symbol variation display means refers to one of the variation pattern tables b1 to b'2 for the special symbol determination result and the stop symbol type by the variation pattern table selection processing of S201, and displays the special symbol The variation time and the variation pattern of the production symbol are determined.
The illustrated example shows a case where all the results of the special symbol success / failure determination are out of place in the variation pattern selection state B, and the variation display time for the first rotation of the special symbol is 30 seconds by referring to the variation pattern table b2. The variation display time for the second rotation is determined to be 12 seconds (normal variation 2) by referring to the variation pattern table b1, and the variation display time for the third rotation varies again. It is 30 seconds (outgoing reach 3) by referring to the pattern table b2.

  In addition, since the outreach (displacement reach 3) has occurred twice due to the fluctuation display of the third rotation, the reach counter operation flag is turned OFF, and the fluctuation display after the fourth rotation is displayed in the fluctuation pattern tables c1 to c ′. With reference to any one of 2, the variation time of the special symbol and the variation pattern of the effect symbol are determined. The example shown in the figure shows a case where the result of the special figure success / failure determination is all off in the variation pattern selection state C, and the variation display time from the 4th rotation to the 10th rotation of the special symbol is 6 seconds (normal variation 2). , Reach is never fostered.

When the number of times of the special symbol variation display in the time-saving game 1 reaches 10, the time-short flag 1 is set to OFF, and the variation display after the 11th rotation refers to any of the variation pattern tables a1 to a′2, The variation time of the special symbol and the variation pattern of the production symbol are determined.
Although illustration is omitted, when the current gaming state is a short-time game 1 and the special figure win / fail determination result is a big hit, the processing after S. The game is switched from time-short game 1 to time-short game 2, and the game referring to any one of the variation pattern tables d1 to d'2 is executed after the end of the big hit game until the number of times of the special symbol variation display reaches 100 times. The Rukoto.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the short-time game 1, it is important how to win a big hit and shift the gaming state to the short-time game 2. Attention is paid to the variation pattern of the effect symbol when the state is the short-time game 1 and the person is angry.

In the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the count start means sets the reach counter operation flag to ON on the condition that the gaming state is switched to the short-time game 1, and the reach count counting means is the short-time game 1 Since a predetermined number of reach is counted from the start of the game, and the reach counter operation flag is set to OFF on condition that the number of reach reaches a predetermined number of times, a special figure variation display means in the short-time game 1 When the change pattern table is changed, the trigger for switching the special pattern no longer depends on the number of changes in the special symbol. It is possible to prevent the player from getting bored during 1.
Of the variation pattern tables b1, b2 and c1, c2, in which the presence / absence of reference is determined depending on whether the reach counter operation flag in the short-time game 1 is ON or OFF, the variation pattern tables b1, b2 Two variation patterns are defined for each of the normal variation and the detachment reach depending on the type of the stop symbol, and in the variation pattern selection state B, the detachment reach (discovery reach 3) may occur. On the other hand, only normal fluctuation (normal fluctuation 2) is defined for c1 and c2 regardless of the type of stop symbol, and in the fluctuation pattern selection state C, there is no possibility of occurrence of detachment reach. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the maximum number of occurrences of detachment reach in the short-time game 1 is up to two times, and no detachment reach occurs thereafter, and the detachment occurs in the short-time game 1 when the player's attention is gathered. Reaching frequently can prevent the player from being awakened.
In addition, when the probability variation function that promises to win the next big hit is activated, frequent occurrence of outliers due to continued reference to the variation pattern table b can be reliably prevented, and time efficiency can be improved.
Further, for example, when the game state is a so-called latent probability change that does not allow the player to recognize that the probability changing function has been activated, the game state may be changed several times during the short-time game 1 (10 times of variable display). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from misrecognizing the presence or absence of the probability change function operation. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the fun of the latent probability variation that conceals the presence or absence of the probability variation function operation from the player.
In addition, when the player is in the “variation pattern selection state C in advance (when the detachment reach has occurred twice from the start of the short-time game 1), the detachment reach is determined when the result of the special figure success / failure determination is out of place. If you know the information that it does not exist, you can know in advance that you can win a big hit game when the production symbol reaches the reach state, so it is possible to further increase the game in the short-time game 1 .
In addition, a display for informing the player that the number of missed reach has reached a predetermined number in the short-time game 1 and a display such as “one more reach! It is possible to further increase the game in the short-time game 1 by displaying on the top and displaying the number of missed reach while counting down or counting up.

  As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated using embodiment, the technical scope of this invention is not limited to the said embodiment. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made to the above-described embodiment, and it is obvious that such changes and modifications can be included in the technical scope of the present invention.
