[First Embodiment]
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the pachinko gaming machine 10 as the “gaming machine” of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6. As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a glass window 10W on the front surface, and the gaming area R1 of the gaming plate 11 can be visually recognized through the glass window 10W. Then, by rotating the operation handle 12 at the lower right of the front surface of the pachinko gaming machine 10, the gaming ball stored in the upper plate 13 is driven into the upper part of the gaming area R1.

A liquid crystal display device 14 is provided in the center of the game area R1, and a first starting winning opening 15, a second starting winning opening 16, a large winning opening 17, and an out opening 18 are provided below the liquid crystal display device 14 in order from the top. There is. Further, normal winning openings 20A, 20B, and 20C are provided on both sides of the large winning opening 17 and on the left side of the second starting winning opening 16.

The first starting winning opening 15, the second starting winning opening 16, and the ordinary winning openings 20A, 20B, 20C have a pocket structure protruding from the front surface of the game board 11 and having an opening on the upper surface. Further, normally, a pair of starting winning doors 16A and 16A stands up from both the left and right opening edges of the second starting winning opening 16, and the winning of the game ball to the second starting winning opening 16 is restricted. ing. Then, when the normal symbol hit (so-called normal symbol hit), which will be described later, is reached, the start winning doors 16A and 16A fall to the left and right for a predetermined time, and the game ball can be won in the second start winning opening 16.

The large winning opening 17 has a horizontally long rectangular shape and is open to the front surface of the game plate 11, and is provided with a large winning door 17A that rotates around the lower opening edge thereof. Then, normally, when the big winning door 17A stands up and the winning to the big winning opening 17 is restricted and the special symbol hit (so-called special figure hit) described later is reached, the big hit game is executed, and the big hit game is executed for a predetermined time and a predetermined number of times. The big prize door 17A collapses forward, and the game ball can be won in the big prize opening 17.

When a game ball wins in each of the winning openings 15 to 17, 20A to 20B, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 13 as prize balls. Further, the number of prize balls for winning the large winning opening 17 is set to be larger than the number of winning balls for winning the other winning openings.

A starting gate 19 is provided in the area on the left side of the liquid crystal display device 14 in the game area R1. Then, when the game ball passes through the start gate 19, a hit / fail judgment is made with a probability of 1/2, and when the judgment result is a hit (that is, a hit in a normal figure), at a predetermined time as described above. The start winning doors 16A and 16A fall to the left and right, and the game ball can be won in the second starting winning opening 16.

When a game ball wins in either the first start winning opening 15 or the second starting winning opening 16, a winning / failing determination of the big hit game is performed, and the winning / failing determination result is notified by the display of the liquid crystal display device 14. Specifically, three special symbols 30A, 30B, and 30C arranged side by side are scrolled up and down, and then stopped and displayed in the order of the left special symbol 30A, the right special symbol 30C, and the center special symbol 30B. If the symbol combinations of the three special symbols 30A, 30B, and 30C that are stopped and displayed are, for example, doublets, it means that the hit / fail judgment result is a big hit (that is, a special symbol hit). If it is not doublet, it means that it was doublet. Then, when the special figure hits, the above-mentioned big hit game is executed.

In the middle of the process from the scroll display of the special symbols 30A, 30B, 30C to the stop display, the left and right special symbols 30A, 30C are stopped and displayed with the same symbol, and only the central special symbol 30B is scrolled to the reach state. May become. This reach state is a condition for hitting a special figure, and the player's feelings are uplifted. Then, in order to further increase the uplifting feeling in the reach state, "state change production" is performed to change the state of the production character so as to remind us that the hit is approaching, and one of them is the book. In the gaming machine of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a "gauge change effect" that changes the state of the gauge image 32 displayed on the liquid crystal display device 14 as an effect is performed.

In the gauge image 32, the first to tenth scales 31A to 31J of the horizontally long rectangle are arranged in order from the bottom to the top. Further, when the gauge change effect is started, the message (not shown) "If you press and hold the lower left button for a long time, the gauge will expand faster !!" is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 14 together with the gauge image 32. Further, the gauge image 32 is initially displayed in the same color as the background color except for the frame bordering each of the scales 31A to 31J. Then, if no operation is performed, for example, the color of the scales 31A to 31J changes to a color different from the background color at intervals of 10 seconds (hereinafter, this is referred to as "scale lighting"), and the gauge image. The state of 32 changes step by step. Further, when the operation button 80 at the lower left of the front surface of the pachinko gaming machine 10 shown in FIG. 1 is held in a pressed state in response to the above message, the maintenance time for maintaining the state of the gauge image 32 at each stage randomly varies. The value is 10 seconds or less.

Then, when the display of the gauge image 32 is completed after lighting up to the tenth scale 31J at the top, the special symbol 30B in the center is stopped and displayed, and the special symbols 30A, 30B, and 30C are doublet symbols. become. On the other hand, when the display of the gauge image 32 is completed before the tenth scale 31J is turned on, the special symbol 30B in the center is stopped and displayed, and the special symbols 30A, 30B, and 30C are not doublet. It becomes a combination of symbols. As described above, in this gauge change effect, the state of the gauge image 32 gradually changes from the initial state to the final state, and the state change of the gauge image 32 ends after reaching the final state or before ending. Depending on whether or not the player is benefited, it is notified or suggested.

The pachinko gaming machine 10 including the control of the gauge change effect described above is controlled by the main control board 22 and the sub control board 40 shown in FIG. Specifically, the winning / failing determination due to the winning of the first or second starting winning openings 15 and 16 is performed by the main control board 22. Then, the sub control board 40 acquires the information of the hit / fail judgment result from the main control board 22 and controls the liquid crystal display device 14, and the judgment notification by the above-mentioned special symbols 30A, 30B, 30C and the gauge change effect by the gauge image 32 are produced. To control.

The CPU of the sub-control board 40 increments the first counter in a predetermined cycle (for example, 4 ms) to change it in the range of 0 to 256 in order to generate a random number for performing the gauge change effect, and the second counter. Is incremented and changed in the range of 0 to 1024. Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a noise sensor 25 for detecting wireless noise, and the CPU of the sub-control board 40 detects noise of a predetermined first level or higher and second level or lower by the noise sensor 25. At the timing when the noise is detected, the counter value of the first counter is acquired as the first random number, stored in the RAM of the sub control board 40 and stored, and the counter value of the second counter is set at the timing when the noise of the second level or higher is detected. It is acquired as a second random number, stored in the RAM of the sub control board 40, and stored. Then, when performing the gauge change effect, the first random number and the second random number stored in the RAM are used in the order of oldest, and the used amount is erased from the RAM.

In order to perform the lottery using the second random number described above, a plurality of data tables (hereinafter referred to as "hit random number table") in which "hit random numbers" are set are provided. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, No. 1 is applied to each of the first to tenth scales 31A to 31J of the gauge image 32. Random number tables are assigned to each of 1 to 3. Further, the number of "winning random numbers" set in each hit random number table is shown in the third column from the left in FIG. 4, and the scales 31A to 31J are shown in the fourth column from the left in FIG. No. The total number of "hit random numbers" set in the hit random number table of 1 to 3 is shown.

As shown in FIG. 4, the number of "hit random numbers" is No. 1 for any of the table groups of any of the scales 31A to 31J. It differs between 1 to 3 hit random number tables. Further, the upper scale of the first to tenth scales 31A to 31J is set so that the total number of "hit random numbers" increases.

The sub-control board 40 uses a known control method to determine whether to reach when the determination result is a hit or when the determination result is off. Then, when the decision to reach is made, the effect setting program PG1 shown in FIG. 5 is executed.

When the effect setting program PG1 is executed, FLG1 and FLG2 are first reset to "0" (S10). Next, one first random number is acquired (used) (S11). Then, in the case of "per reach" (YES in S12), when the first random number is a multiple of 2 or a multiple of 3 (YES in S13), "1" is set in FLG1. While it is set and FLG2 is set to "1" (S14), FLG1 and FLG2 remain "0" when the first random number is a multiple of 2 or not a multiple of 3 (NO in S13). , Exit from the production setting program PG1

Further, in the case of "out of reach" (NO in S12), when the first random number is a multiple of 3 (YES in S15), "1" is set in FLG1 and "1" is set. FLG2 is maintained at "0" (S16), and when the first random number is not a multiple of 3 (NO in S15), FLG1 and FLG2 remain "0" and exit from the effect setting program PG1.

By the processing up to this point, the fact that FLG1 is "1" and FLG2 is "1" means that the gauge change effect per reach is performed, and that FLG1 is "1" and FLG2 is "0". It means that the gauge change effect out of reach is performed, and the fact that FLG1 is "0" is set to mean that the gauge change effect is not performed. In addition, when the gauge change effect is performed in this setting, it is controlled so that the probability of hitting the reach is high.

Next, when FLG1 is set to "1" (S14, S16), one hit random number table is selected from the corresponding three hit random number tables of the first to tenth scales 31A to 31J. The table selection process (S17) for selection is performed. In the table determination process (S17), for example, 10 first random numbers are acquired, each of the 10 first random numbers is divided by 3, and 1 is added to the remainder (that is, "1", "2". "Or" 3 ") is calculated. Then, the ten numbers consisting of any of "1", "2", and "3" calculated in this way become the table numbers of the corresponding random number tables of the first to tenth scales 31A to 31J. Set. In the rightmost column of FIG. 4, an example of the table number group randomly set in this way is shown.

When the setting of the table number is completed, the initial value setting process (S18) such as resetting both the timer counter N and the scale identification counter G described below to "1" is performed, and the program exits from the effect setting program PG1.

When the above-mentioned FLG1 is "1", the gauge image 32 and the above-mentioned "lower left button" are provided on condition that the special symbols 30A, 30B, 30C displayed on the liquid crystal display device 14 are in the reach state. If you press and hold for a long time, the gauge will expand faster !! "is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 14. At this time, the gauge image 32 is displayed in the same color as the background color, except for the frame bordering each of the scales 31A to 31J, for example.

Then, the maintenance determination program PG2 shown in FIG. 6 is repeatedly executed in a cycle of 10 [msec]. In this maintenance determination program PG2, the timer counter N is first incremented by one (S20), and it is determined whether or not the timer counter N has reached the upper limit value Nmax or more. Then, when the timer counter N has not reached the upper limit value Nmax, a second random number is acquired (S22). Here, the acquisition of the second random number is performed on the condition that the operation button 80 is pressed, and when the operation button 80 is not pressed, the number in the range in which the second random number cannot be obtained (for example, "" 9999 "), that is, the out-of-order random number is set as the second random number.

Next, it is determined whether or not the second random number matches the hit random number set in the hit random number table (S23). At this time, the winning random number table selected by the effect setting program PG1 is used.

Specifically, when the maintenance determination program PG2 is executed for the first time, the scale identification counter G is "1", so the table number 2 selected by the effect setting program PG1 as in the first scale 31A. It is determined whether or not the hit random number in the hit random number table (see the rightmost column of FIG. 4) and the second random number match (S23). Here, the number of hit random numbers in the hit random number table is "3" (see the third column from the left in FIG. 4), and the change range of the second random number is in the range of 0 to 1024 as described above. With a probability of 3/1024, it is determined whether or not the second random number matches the hit random number (S23). Therefore, by the time the timer counter N reaches the upper limit value Nmax "1000", that is, before 10 seconds have elapsed, the second random number stochastically coincides with the hit random number about twice.

If the second random number does not match the hit random number (NO in S23), the program exits from the maintenance determination program PG2. When the second random number matches the hit random number (YES in S23), the first scale 31A in the gauge image 32 is turned on.

Further, even when the lottery by the second random number continues to be missed, the above-mentioned timer counter N reaches the upper limit value Nmax (YES in S21), and the maintenance time of the first scale 31A in the off state has elapsed for 10 seconds. The first scale lights up as in the case where the second random number matches the hit random number (S24). Then, when the first scale is lit, the scale identification counter G is incremented by one (S25), and it is determined whether or not FLG2 is "1" (S26). When FLG2 is "0" (NO in S26), that is, "out of reach", when the scale identification counter G becomes "10" (YES in S27), the production end instruction (YES in S27). Perform S29) to reset FLG1 to "0".

Further, when FLG2 is "1" (YES in S26), that is, when it is "per reach", when the scale identification counter G becomes "11" (YES in S28), the effect end instruction (YES in S28). Perform S29) to reset FLG1 to "0".

When the effect end instruction (S29) is given, the state of the gauge image 32 is held for a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds), the gauge image 32 and the message are deleted, and then the special symbol 30B in the center is displayed. The stop display is displayed, and the symbol combinations of the three special symbols 30A, 30B, and 30C are displayed.

This concludes the description of the configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment. Next, the action and effect of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described. In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the reach state is reached, if it is a reach hit, for example, a gauge change effect is executed with a probability of 2/3, and if it is out of reach, the gauge change effect is executed. For example, the gauge change effect is executed with a probability of 1/3.

When the gauge change effect is executed, the message "If you press and hold the lower left button, the gauge will expand faster !!" is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 14 together with the gauge image 32. When the operation button 80 is held in the on-operated state in response to the message, a lottery is performed in a cycle of 10 [msec], and if the lottery is successful, the first to tenth scales of the gauge image 32 are displayed. 31A to 31J are turned on in sequence. Further, when the operation button 80 is not operated, the first to tenth scales 31A to 31J are sequentially lit every 10 seconds.

Specifically, assuming that the hit random number table of the table number shown in the rightmost column of the table of FIG. 4 is selected, the hit random number of the selected table number 2 hit random number table is selected for the first scale 31A. Since the number of the numbers is 3 (see the third column from the left in FIG. 4), a lottery for the winning probability of 3/1024 is performed. Then, if the lottery is won, the first scale 31A is lit 10 seconds before, and if the lottery is performed 1000 times even if the lottery is not won, that is, the first scale 31A is lit after 10 seconds have passed.

Then, similarly to the first scale 31A, the second to ninth scales 31B to 31I light up based on the lottery result of the predetermined hit probability that can be read from FIG. 4, and the state of the gauge image 32. Will change in stages. Then, in the case of out of reach, the gauge image 32 and the message are erased after a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) has elapsed after the 9th scale 31I is turned on, and then the special symbol 30B in the center is stopped and displayed. Then, the out-of-order symbol combinations of the special symbols 30A, 30B, and 30C are displayed.

On the other hand, in the case of reach hit, after the 9th scale 31I is lit, the 10th scale 31J is also lit based on the lottery result of the predetermined hit probability, and after a predetermined time elapses, the gauge image 32 and the message are displayed. It is erased, and then the winning symbol combination is displayed.

Further, when the game progresses, the reach state is reached again, and the gauge change effect is executed, the hit random number table used for the lottery of each scale 31A to 31J of the gauge image 32 is selected again, and the hit random numbers are selected again. The lighting of the gauge image 32 is controlled using the table as described above.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the gauge change effect, which is one of the state change effects, is executed, the state of the gauge image 32 is maintained in the same lighting state by lottery using random numbers. The maintenance time is randomly determined, and the maintenance time (in other words, the rate of change of the state change) varies. This makes it difficult to predict whether the state change of the gauge image 32 ends after reaching the final state or ends without reaching the final state, and it is possible to provide an unprecedented novel game. Moreover, since the state of the gauge image 32 changes stepwise by lighting the scales 31A to 31J, the variation state can be easily grasped. Further, each time the gauge change effect is executed, the winning random number table for lottery is randomly selected from a plurality of pieces, so that it becomes difficult to predict the change in the maintenance time and the taste is improved.

Further, the sum of the number of random numbers per hit in the table group of each scale 31A to 31J is larger as the lighting order is slower, so that the scale with a statistically slower lighting order lights up faster. That is, as the change of the gauge change effect progresses, the maintenance time for keeping the gauge image 32 in the same state becomes statistically shorter. As a result, the mood of the player can be raised as the final stage is approached, and the taste is improved.

[Second Embodiment]
In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, step S21 shown in FIG. 6 of the first embodiment is “N ≧ Nmax-50 × G”. As a result, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the embodiment, when the operation button 80 is not operated in the gauge change effect, the interval at which the scales 31A to 31J of the gauge image 32 are lit gradually decreases, and the player You can lift your mood.

It should be noted that step S21 may be set to "N ≧ Nmax + 50 × G" so that the interval at which the scales 31A to 31J of the gauge image 32 are lit gradually increases when the operation button 80 is not operated. .. Even so, when the operation button 80 is not operated, the player's mood can be raised as the final stage is approached.

[Third Embodiment]
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, three maintenance time candidates 1 to 3 for each scale 31A to 31J are selected as candidates for the maintenance time for maintaining the scales 31A to 31J of the gauge image 32 in the extinguished state. An assigned maintenance time table is provided. Then, every time the gauge change effect is performed, the maintenance time determination means is performed instead of the table selection process (S17) of the effect setting program PG1 described above, and the extinguished state of the scales 31A to 31J is randomly set by the first random number. select. Then, when the gauge image 32 is displayed and the operation button 80 is held in the on-operated state, the state of the gauge image 32 is changed by the selected maintenance time.

Also in the configuration of the present embodiment, the maintenance time for keeping the state of the gauge image 32 in the same lighting state is randomly determined by lottery using random numbers, and the maintenance time (in other words, the change rate of the state change). Disperses. This makes it difficult to predict whether the state change of the gauge image 32 ends after reaching the final state or ends without reaching the final state, and it is possible to provide an unprecedented novel game. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the sum of the three maintenance time candidates assigned to the same scale is slightly smaller than the scale with the lower rank. As a result, the maintenance time decreases as the state of the gauge image 32 approaches the final state, and it is possible to feel that the state of the gauge image 32 is approaching the final stage, and the taste is improved.

<Modification example>
(1) In each of the above-described embodiments, the state change effect is performed using a gauge image in which the scale gradually increases, but the state is changed to an image other than the gauge image in which the color or shape, size, or brightness changes. A change effect may be performed, or a state change effect may be performed with a movable accessory whose position or direction changes.

(2) In each of the above embodiments, the state of the gauge image 32 is changed stepwise, but it may be changed continuously. For example, in an effect of continuously changing from red to blue, the change speed may be varied, or when the movable accessory moves from the first position to the second position, it moves without stopping. , The movement speed may vary.

(3) In each of the above embodiments, a long press operation of the operation button 80 is required to change the state of the gauge image 32, but the configuration may require repeated pressing of the operation button 80. The configuration may be such that the operation of the operation button 80 is not required to change the state of the gauge image 32.
