Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a game machine with a maintenance device in a state where it is easy to improve the score probability, more specifically, a combination-type pachinko machine, a mahjong-type pachinko machine, or a bullet within a prescribed time A game machine with a score probability improvement and maintenance device that improves the probability of winning during a predetermined number of games by using it as a pachinko machine that competes for a winning score by hitting a ball or a pachinko machine that competes for a winning score as a result of hitting a predetermined number of balls It is about.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, with respect to various gaming machines including pachinko machines, various computer controls have been performed with the progress of computer technology.

In this way, as a result of the control by the computer, a so-called fever machine is provided in the pachinko machine, and it has been used for actual games.

In this fever machine, when a specific state is reached during the game, the accessory operates so that the score probability is significantly improved. By operating the accessory in this way, many prizes can be won in a short time. You can get a ball.

Furthermore, more specifically, a plurality of reels having a plurality of patterns on the board are provided, and when the reels stop rotating, for example, when three numbers 7 are seen side by side, it is extremely easy to win the prize. The special prize hole is opened for a certain period of time so that many prizes can be won in a short time. Normally, the specific winning hole is closed so that if there are 10 winnings, it is opened again so that the winning probability is high again. Finally, opening and closing is performed 10 times. The state that the winning probability was improved was ending.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As described above, conventionally, with respect to the pachinko machine, the game property is enriched by improving the winning probability.

However, in such a conventional pachinko machine, the game continues until the ball on hand ends or the so-called stop is reached, and thus the above-mentioned winning probability improvement state is repeated ten times. It was possible.

On the other hand, as a game machine similar to a pachinko machine, a combination-type pachinko machine, a mahjong-type pachinko machine, which already exist,
Alternatively, for a pachinko machine that competes for a winning score by hitting a ball during a specified time, or a pachinko machine that competes for a winning score as a result of hitting a predetermined number of balls, one game ends depending on the specified time or the specified number of balls. Therefore, although the score probability in one game can be improved, the score probability cannot be improved over several games.

Therefore, in the present invention, once the game in which the score probability is easily improved is formed so that the game state in which the score probability is easily improved can be easily maintained during a certain game. It is intended to improve.

[Means for Solving Problems] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention configures one game with a fixed number of balls or a fixed number of balls, and
When there is a score at the end of the game, a medal corresponding to the score is paid out, a medal corresponding to the score is paid out, and the score probability improving device operates and a specific condition is obtained. In a medal-type pachinko machine with an improved probability, a game is formed from a normal game and a game in which it is easy to improve the scoring probability. If a specific condition that facilitates the improvement of the score efficiency is obtained, the score probability improving device operates during the fixed number of games from the next game to improve the score probability over a plurality of games. It is characterized in that it is formed so that a game in which the score probability is easily improved can be played by obtaining a simpler condition than an easy specific condition.

[Examples] Hereinafter, the case of using the present invention in a combination-type pachinko machine will be described as an example together with the illustrated examples.

FIG. 1 is a front view of a combination type pachinko machine, and FIG. 2 is a flow chart for judging the suitability of inserted medals.

The combination-type pachinko machine shown in FIG. 1 is entirely formed of a box body 50 and a front plate 51 of the whole box body 50. A board surface 52 is fixed to the upper center of the front plate 51, and a ball handle 53 and a medal payout opening 54 are provided in the lower center. Further, on the left side of the board surface 52, a medal insertion slot 55, a return slot 56, a return switch 57, a clearing switch 58, etc. are attached. Also board 5
A rail 59 for guiding a ball hit by a ball is fixed to 2, and a display part 60 of the combination result and a rotating reel 6 as a score probability improving device are provided at the center of the board surface 52.
1 and the accessory 62 and the passage chucker 63 are provided.

In the flowchart for determining the suitability of inserted medals shown in FIG. 2, the control program is set to a state in which the game machine can be used, and the number of sets is such that medals are inserted into the medal insertion slot 55 (step 1 ) Is possible.

Then, the medal selector provided on the back side of the medal slot 55 of the game machine determines whether or not the inserted medal is appropriate (step 2).

As a result, when the inserted medal is not a true coin, it is returned to the medal return port 56 (step 3), and a series of operations is completed.

If the inserted medal is a true coin, it is determined whether the game to be played is a normal game or a game in which it is easy to improve the winning probability (step 4).

As a result of the judgment, in the case of a normal game, the normal game processing shown in FIG. 3 is performed, and in the case of a game in which the winning probability is easily improved, the winning probability shown in FIG. 4 is easily improved. Game processing is performed.

FIG. 3 is a control flowchart used when it is determined that the game is a normal game. After the game is started, the normal game is started (step 5).

During the game that has started, it is determined whether or not the score probability improving device is operating (step 6).

Here, the scoring probability improving device is formed from three reels 61 on which a plurality of patterns are described, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, and the score is obtained by combining the patterns when the reels 61 stop rotating. Something that improves the probability, something that the numbers on the digitally displayed windows change in sequence, and that improves the probability of scoring by combining the numbers when stopped, or three colors alternate, though not shown. It is conceivable that three sets of colored blocks are formed, the colored portions of each block are formed so that light is sequentially turned on, and the score efficiency is improved by the combination of colors when the movement of light is stopped.

In addition, this score probability improving device starts operation by winning a specific prize hole or passing a specific chucker,
Stop after a certain period of time or by turning on the stop switch. Therefore, when the specific winning hole or the specific chucker is not passed, the score probability improving device may not be operated.

Therefore, the score probability improving device may not operate at all during the game, but at that time, the player will enjoy the game of the normal combination type pachinko machine.

In that case, when a predetermined number of balls have been hit, it is judged whether or not there is a score based on the game result displayed on the display unit 60 (step 7). If there is no score, the game ends.

If there is a score, the number A of payout medals corresponding to the score is stored (step 8), and then the medals are sequentially paid out one by one to the payout opening 54 (step 9).

Further, when the medals are paid out in this way, the payout counter B increments the count value by 1 for each payout of one medal (step 10), and then the memory value A of the number of paid-out medals is compared with the count value B. Then, the medal payout work is continued until the values become equal (step 11).

When the payout is completed, the payout counter B and the memory (A) are cleared (step 12), and then one game is completed.

On the other hand, when the score probability improving device operates, this state is determined in step 6, so it is next determined whether or not a predetermined combination is established (step 1).
3).

As a result, if the combination is not established, the process proceeds to step 7 and the subsequent steps, and the same processing as described above is performed.

However, when the combination is established, it is determined whether the combination is a combination that is effective only for that game or a combination that can easily improve the score probability over a plurality of games (step 14).

As a result of the determination, if the combination is valid only for that game, the process proceeds to step 7 and subsequent steps.

On the other hand, if the combination is such that it is easy to improve the score probability so that the combination is spread over a plurality of games,
The indicator light to that effect is turned on (step 15) to facilitate the improvement of the winning probability from the next game (step 1).
After 6), the processes after step 7 are executed again.

That is, when a predetermined number of balls (usually 16 balls) have been hit, regardless of whether or not there is a combination, and whether or not it is easy to improve the score probability from the next game, the score obtained in that game is dealt with. The medals to be paid out are paid out, and one game is completed.

Further, as a specific example of the establishment of the combination in step 13, for example, when the plurality of rotating reels 61 stop rotating as described above, the reels 61 [7--], [-
7-] or [--7] is considered, and at this time, the specific accessory 62 which is configured to be easy to win the prize.
It is conceivable to improve the score probability by making the numbers open for 1 second and winning a particular winning character 62 at the same time as winning a number that is usually difficult to win or a number that is easy to win, at the same time.

Furthermore, as another specific example of the establishment of another combination in step 13, the stopped reel 61 is [77-], [-
77] or [7-7] in some cases, and at this time, if the specific character object 62 configured to easily win the prize is 10
It is possible to improve the score probability by opening the second for a second and winning the particular prize 62 so that it is treated as if a number that is difficult to normally win or a number whose score is easy is won.

The combination of the reels 61 that have stopped rotating is [77
7] corresponds to the improvement of the score probability in step 13, and the specific character object 62 which is configured to be easy to win is 30.
If the player opens for a second and wins a specific prize 62, it is treated as if a normal hard-to-win number or easy-to-go number is won, and it is easy to improve the winning probability from the next game in step 14. It will be a combination of games.

Further, in this embodiment, when a symbol "7" is present even in a part of the reel 61 that has stopped during a game in which the winning probability is easily improved, a specific winning combination that is easy to win is formed, similar to "777". Object 62 opens for 30 seconds and its specific character 62
It is formed so that when a prize is won, it is treated as if a number that is usually difficult to win or a score that is easy to win is won.

FIG. 4 is a processing routine in the case where it is determined by the determination in step 4 described above that the winning probability is easy to be improved. When the game is started (step 17), the counter C is incremented (step 17). 18) Then, it is determined whether or not the score probability improving device is activated (step 19).

In this embodiment, since the score probability is not improved because the score probability improving device does not operate, when it is determined in step 19 that the score probability improving device does not operate, it is determined whether or not there is a score in the normal game. In the same way as the judgment step 7, it is judged in step 20 whether or not there is a score.

If it is determined in step 20 that there is a score, the second
The processing shown in steps 7 to 12 of the figure is performed. That is, medals are paid out to the payout opening 54 by a series of processes from step 21 to step 25.

When the payout of medals is completed in this way, it is determined whether or not there is a game end signal that facilitates the improvement of the winning probability described later (step 26), and if there is an end signal, the counter C is cleared (step 27). After that, the game ends.

If it is determined in step 26 that there is no game end signal, then the count value C of the counter in step 18 is
In this example, it is judged whether the number exceeds 20 (step 28).

If the total number of games has not reached 20 (20
-C> 0), the game ends, but the next game also becomes a game under the condition that it is easy to improve the winning probability.

Further, when it is determined that the count value C of the counter reaches 20, that is, the game is played under the condition that the winning probability is easily improved over a total of 20 games (20
-C = 0), and after clearing the counter C and the counter D that counts the total number of games in the score probability improving state described later (step 29), this condition is canceled (step 30), and it is easy to improve the winning probability. The game ends with, and the next game returns to the normal game.

If it is determined in step 20 that there is no score,
After shifting to step 28, the same processing as described above is performed.

On the other hand, when the score probability improving device is activated (step 19), it is determined whether or not there is a specific symbol in the combination (step 31). That is, in the example described above, it is determined whether or not the symbol "7" is present on a part of the reel that has stopped.

If "7" does not exist, the process proceeds to step 20 and the same process as described above is executed.

If there is at least one "7" in each reel, the presence of the specific symbol is confirmed, and in this case, the score probability is improved, so the counter D for counting the probability improvement number is incremented. (Step 32).

Next, it is judged whether or not the value of the probability improvement number counter D is greater than 10 in this example (step 33).

When this counter D is less than 10, (10-D>
0), the process proceeds to step 20, and processing such as score determination and payout of medals is performed.

If it is equal to 10 (10-D = 0), the counter D is cleared (step 34), and a game end signal that facilitates improvement of the winning probability is issued (step 35).
Similarly, the process proceeds to step 20.

That is, if the combination-type pachinko machine is controlled by this program, once a game state in which it is easy to improve the score probability over a plurality of games is reached, that state is maintained for 20 games thereafter (step 28). After playing the game in a state where it is easy to improve the score probability 10 times in the 20 games, the total number of games is 20
The game in which the score probability can be easily improved ends regardless of the game (step 33), and the normal game state is newly established.

Therefore, although the game property can be improved, it is not rich in gambling.

Note that the 10 games or 20 games in the above description is merely an example, and other numbers of games may be used.

The operation of the scoring probability improving device is started at the start of the game in step 5, and the rotation of the reel 61 is stopped by winning a prize in one of the winning holes, or the rotation of the reel 61 is stopped by winning a prize in a specific winning hole. It can also be done. In the other case, in the case of the former,
Since the scoring probability improving device always operates during one game, step 6 in FIG. 3 is eliminated and step 5 is directly followed by step 13.

The score probability improving device can also be formed as something other than the rotating reel 61.

Further, the accessory 62 is not limited to the shape in the illustrated example, and the shape is not limited as long as the score probability is improved.

In addition, regardless of the game, even when the combination is established (step 13), the above description is an example of the combination-type pachinko machine, so that the specific character object 62 that is easy to win is configured for a certain time. Open and its specific character 62
I explained that if you win a prize, it will be treated as if you were winning a number that is usually difficult to win, but in addition to this, you can change the number corresponding to many chuckers arranged at the bottom of the board surface 52, and the ball will enter. It is also possible to place numbers that can be easily combined in easy places.

Also, in the case of mahjong type pachinko machines, it is possible to open a certain special object similar to the one that won a tile that is easy to play a role for a certain period of time, or by winning a specific role, only the number of winning prizes The type of tile may be freely selected.

Also, a pachinko machine that competes for winning points by bullets during the specified time,
In a pachinko machine or the like, which competes for a winning score as a result of hitting a predetermined number of bullets, it is possible to form a specific accessory that is easy to win for a certain period of time.

However, in any case, with the improvement of the game,
It is desirable to take care not to improve the gambling property too much.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, in the present invention, the scoring probability improving device operates during the normal game, and the specific condition that facilitates the improvement of the scoring probability over a plurality of games is obtained. In this case, it is easy to improve the score probability from the next game,
The game quality is improved by allowing a game in which the score probability is easily improved under a simpler condition for a certain number of subsequent games.
