Next, as shown in FIGS. 5 (b) and 5 (c), the vertical axis and the horizontal axis are displayed, and subsequently, the vertical axis is the value obtained by subtracting the total number of shot balls from the total number of prize balls, A line graph is displayed so that the horizontal axis shows the transition of the number of shot balls. Then, as the line graph extends to the right, the person's picture is also moved to the right and displayed. After performing the above-mentioned display, the display of the line graph of the prize ball payout state disappears as the end screen, and the display is fixed with the person facing the front (FIG. 6).

The scale of the vertical axis in the line graph is, for example, "0" at the center and ± 15,000 above and below.
A sphere is used, and the horizontal axis has a scale of 50,000, for example. Here, since the graph extends in the horizontal axis direction, if the graph does not fit within one screen, when the graph is displayed from the right side to about 1/6, the graph moves to the left side. By sliding it, the whole graph can be displayed. If the entire graph does not fit within the scale in the vertical axis direction, the position of the center (0) is adjusted or the scale is adjusted.

The prize-ball payout status displayed on the image display device 40 is calculated by the prize-ball payout status calculation means 210 in the electric control device 180. In the prize-ball payout state calculation means 210, the total number of shot balls calculated by the number-of-fired-balls calculation means 190, the winning probability that a hit ball is won in each prize hole previously obtained by measurement, etc., and the hit ball is prized in each prize hole Based on the number of prize balls to be paid out in this case, the prize ball payout state, which is a value obtained by subtracting the total number of balls fired from the total number of prize balls, is calculated.

A method for obtaining the total number of fired balls by the number-of-fired-balls calculating means 190 will be described. In the number-of-fired-balls calculation means 190, the number of hits detected and counted by the left gate 130 and the probability of hitting a ball passing through the left gate 130 previously obtained by measurement or the like, are fired into the game unit 30. Calculate the total number of shots. For example, if the probability of hitting balls passing through the left gate 130 is 1/10 and the number of hit balls detected and counted by the left gate 130 is 50, the total number of shot balls is 50 × ( 1 / (1/10)) = 500 (sphere).

Further, in the payout award ball number calculating means 200, the total number of shot balls obtained by the shot ball number calculating means 190 and the winning probability that the hit ball wins each winning opening previously obtained by measurement or the like,
The total number of prize balls to be paid out is calculated based on the number of prize balls to be paid out when a hit ball is won in each prize hole. For example,
The number of award balls obtained by winning a hit ball at the award winning port, which is the general award winning port 120, is 500 total balls launched by the number-of-launch calculating unit 190, and the winning probability for the award winning port is 1 /. Assuming that the number of prize balls to be paid out for the prize is 15 at 100, it can be calculated by the following formula: (1/100) × 500 × 15 = 75 (sphere).

Further, the number of prize balls paid out to the hit balls hit in the central first-class starting opening 100, the left first-class starting opening 110, and the variable winning device 90 is actually the central first-class starting. mouth
The number of balls detected by the central first type 1 start detector 101 after winning 100 and the actual number of balls left by first winning the first type 1 start opening 110
The number of balls detected by the seed starting detector 111, the number of balls actually detected by the variable prize winning device 90 by the variable prize winning device 90, and the number of balls detected by the prize winning device 91 are paid out for winning in these winning openings. It is calculated based on the number of prize balls. In this way, for the winning of the central first type starting opening 100, the left first type starting opening 110, and the variable winning device 90, the calculation is performed based on the actual number of winning balls. This is because the CPU performs calculation for winning and the CPU load can be reduced by directly using the calculated value.

In this embodiment, the central type 1 starting port 100
Also, the number of prize balls paid out to the prize winning in the left type 1 starting port 110 is 5 and the number of prize balls paid out to the prize winning in the variable winning device 90 is 15. Therefore, by multiplying the number of winning balls to the central first-class starting port 100 and the left first-class starting port 110 by 5, the winning to the central first-class starting port 100 and the left-first class starting port 110 is achieved. The number of prize balls to be paid out can be calculated. Also, by multiplying the number of winning balls to the variable winning device 90 by 15, the number of prize balls to be paid out for the winning of the variable winning device 90 can be calculated.

The total of the number of prize balls for each general prize hole 120 thus obtained and the number of prize balls for the central first type starting port 100, the left first type starting port 110, and the variable winning device 90 is paid out. It becomes the total number of prize balls. By looking at the graph of the prize ball payout status displayed on the image display device 40, the player can accurately grasp the prize ball payout status of the ball game machine, and finish the game on the game machine. Whether or not to continue the game in the gaming machine can be determined.

Next, the image display device 40 functioning as a lottery number display means will be described with reference to FIG. The lottery number storage means 260 of the electric control device 180 stores the number of lottery times in the special symbol display device (image display device 40) from the last big hit occurrence to the next big hit occurrence. Further, the lottery number analysis means 270 analyzes the relationship between the number of lottery and the occurrence situation of the big hit. The image display device 40 functioning as a lottery number display means displays the number of lottery and explains the occurrence situation of the big hit.

When a big hit occurs, first, FIG.
As shown in (a), a picture of a person is displayed on the right side of the image display device 40, and on the left side of the pointing stick pointed by the person, the big hit of this time occurs from the big hit of the last time. Up to the number of lottery, that is, the number of roulette games (number of revolutions) in the special symbol display device (image display device 40) is displayed as a high-speed count-up and displayed in the balloon appearing below the number of revolutions display. The contents will be explained. This commentary is, for example, a comment that "it is the number of revolutions since the last hit". Then, as shown in FIG. 8B, the display of the rotation speed is stopped, and a commentary on the relationship between the rotation speed and the occurrence of the big hit is displayed in the balloon. This commentary is, for example, a comment such as "I hit early", "It will be normal", and "It took a long time". Then, based on the relationship between the number of revolutions and the occurrence of a big hit,
A person's picture is displayed with a different facial expression, and a comment "I'm really happy" is displayed in the balloon (Fig. 8 (c)). A person's facial expression, for example, makes a happy expression for a comment "I hit early",
An ordinary expression will be used for a comment that says "normal", and a soft expression will be used for a comment that "takes a long time."

After that, as the end screen, the display of the rotation speed and the balloon disappears, and the display is fixed with the person facing the front (FIG. 6). By looking at the explanation of the relationship between the number of times of lottery and big hit occurrence displayed on the image display device 40, the player accurately grasps the big hit occurrence situation in the ball game machine and continues the game in the game machine. Since it is possible to determine whether or not to play, it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

Next, the image display device 40 functioning as the reach state display means will be described with reference to FIG. The reach state storage means 280 of the electric control device 180 stores the state from the reach state until the big hit occurs.
Further, the reach state analysis means 300 analyzes the state from the reach state to the occurrence of a big hit. The image display device 40 functioning as the reach state display means displays the state from the reach state until the big hit occurs, and explains the situation until the big hit occurs.

When a big hit occurs, first, FIG.
As shown in (a), the roulette 340 is attached to the image display device 40.
Is displayed and a picture of a person is displayed on the right side of the display, and the state until the deceleration of the roulette ball 348 is started after the reach state is reproduced. After that, FIG. 9 (b)
As shown in, in the tip of the pointing rod pointed by a person, in the balloon appearing on the lower left side toward the image display device 40,
The time from the occurrence of the reach state to the start of deceleration of the roulette ball 348 is explained. This commentary, for example,
"The ball has momentum.""The ball seems to have no momentum."
Etc. are comments. After that, the display of the balloon disappears,
The display is fixed with the person facing the front (Fig. 9).
(C)).

Then, similarly to the case shown in FIG. 9A, the roulette 340 is displayed on the image display device 40, and a picture of a person is displayed on the right side of the roulette ball 348 after reaching the reach state. The deceleration state of is reproduced. Further, similarly to the case shown in FIG. 9B, a commentary on the deceleration state of the roulette ball 348 is given in the balloon appearing on the lower left side toward the image display device 40 at the tip of the pointing rod pointed by a person. Done. This commentary is, for example, a comment such as “good deceleration” or “normal deceleration”. After that, the display of the balloon disappears and the display is fixed with the person facing the front (FIG. 9C).

Next, as shown in FIG. 9A, the roulette 340 is displayed on the image display device 40, and a person's picture is displayed on the right side of the image display device 40. The state from the deceleration of 348 to entering pocket 347 is reproduced without the intermediate process. And

For example, this commentary is "It seems that the probability of hitting 3 laps is high", "It is rare to hit in a short lap", "There are not a few hits in 2 laps", "The special hand was lucky". Etc. are comments. The explanation is that if the roulette ball 348 starts decelerating and then enters the pocket 347 in a short lap, there is a high probability of losing, and on the contrary, about 3 laps after the roulette ball 348 starts decelerating. This explanation is based on the high probability of winning when entering the pocket 347 in the number of laps, and when the roulette ball 348 is about to enter the pocket 347 which is a loss, it is a hand on the roulette panel 341. If a picture (a special hand) imitating a shape appears, hit the roulette ball 348, and rotate it further, it will be explained to that effect.

Thereafter, the display of the balloon disappears, the display is fixed with the person facing the front (FIG. 9C), and the end screen (FIG. 6) is displayed. By looking at the explanation of the situation from the reach state to the occurrence of the big hit displayed on the image display device 40, the player accurately grasps the big hit occurrence situation in the ball game machine, and the game machine concerned. Because it is possible to determine whether to continue the game in
The interest of the game can be enhanced.

Next, the image display device 40 functioning as a big hit number display means will be described with reference to FIG.
The big hit number storage means 230 of the electric control device 180 stores the number of big hit occurrences for each big hit symbol. Also,
The jackpot number analysis means 250 analyzes the situation of occurrence of jackpots. In the image display device 40 functioning as a big hit count display means, the big hit count for each symbol is displayed to explain the occurrence situation of the big hit.

When a big hit occurs, first, FIG.
As shown in (a), a picture of a person is displayed on the right side of the image display device 40, and the displayed content is explained in a balloon appearing on the left side of the image display device 40. This commentary, for example,
The comment is, "It's a big hit." Then, as shown in FIGS. 10B and 10C, the number of times of big hits for each symbol is displayed on the left side of the image display device 40, and the tip of a pointing rod pointed by a person, In the balloon appearing in the approximate center of the image display device 40, a commentary on the number of big hits for each symbol is displayed.

Here, since there are a total of 15 kinds of symbols displayed on the roulette wheel 340, if the numbers of big hit occurrences for all the symbols are displayed at the same time, each display becomes small, which is difficult for the player to recognize. Will end up.
Therefore, first, the number of big hits for the fruit pattern is displayed and explained (FIG. 10 (b)), and then the numerical design is scrolled from the bottom of the fruit design, and the number of big hits is displayed for the number design and explained. (Figure 10
(C)). In this commentary, for example, when the number of big hits is 0 to 5 times, a comment "There seems to be little data" is displayed, and a pattern with a number of big hits more than three times the average of the number of big hits ("Orange") ) Is present (Fig. 10 (b)), the comment "A lot of oranges" is displayed, and there is a design ("4") in which a big hit has not occurred (Fig. 10 (c)). "The next 4
May be displayed ”, and if the number of big hits due to the numerical design is higher than the number of big hits due to the fruit design, the comment“ There are many numerical designs ”is displayed and any of the above patterns If this is not the case, and if a big hit has occurred on average for each symbol, the comment “This is the average way out” is displayed.

After that, as the end screen, the display of the rotation speed and the balloon disappears, and the display is fixed with the person facing the front (FIG. 6). By looking at the explanation of the number of big hits for each symbol displayed on the image display device 40, the player accurately grasps which symbol in the ball game machine has a high probability of a big hit, In the gaming machine, it is possible to know which symbol is to be aimed next to generate a big hit, so that the interest of the game can be enhanced.

Next, with reference to FIG. 11, an image display device 40 functioning as a reach count display means and a big hit achievement ratio display means will be described. In the reach number storage means 290 of the electric control device 180, the number of times of reach of each symbol is stored, and in the reach number analysis means 310, based on the storage of the reach number storage means 290, the reach occurrence state for each symbol is shown. I am analyzing. In addition, the jackpot achievement ratio calculation means 320 calculates the ratio of the number of times of jackpot occurrence to the number of times of reach occurrence. In the image display device 40 functioning as the reach number display means and the big hit achievement ratio display means, the number of times the reach is generated and the number of big hits are displayed for each symbol to explain the occurrence state of the big hit.

When a big hit occurs, first, FIG.
As shown in (a), after the above-mentioned number of big hit occurrences is displayed, a picture of a person is displayed on the right side of the image display device 40, and a description of the display content is displayed in a balloon appearing on the left side. Is done. This commentary is, for example, a comment that “the number of reach times is repeated”. And FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 1 (b) and 1 (c), the number of reach is displayed on the left side of the image display device 40 so as to overlap with the number of big hits for each symbol. Here, as in the case of the big hit occurrence count display for each of the above-mentioned symbols, there are a total of 15 kinds of symbols displayed on the roulette wheel 340, so if the big hit occurrence counts of all the symbols are displayed at the same time, each display becomes small. It becomes difficult for the player to recognize. Therefore, first, after displaying the number of jackpot occurrences with respect to the number of reach occurrences for the fruit pattern (Fig. 11
(B)), a numerical design is scroll-displayed from the bottom of the fruit design, and the number of jackpot occurrences with respect to the number of reach occurrences is displayed for this numerical design (FIG. 11 (c)). afterwards,
At the tip of the pointing rod pointed by a person, the ratio of the number of big hits to the reach is displayed as a pie chart in the approximate center of the image display device 40, and a commentary on the number of the big hits to the number of reach is displayed (FIG. 11).
(D)). This explanation is, for example, 1
If the number is / 20 or more, the comment "There is a lot of hits" is displayed, and if the number of big hits is 1/35 or less of the whole, the comment "It's just reach" is displayed and the number of big hits is the above If the value is between the specified numbers, the comment "It is an ordinary way" is displayed.

After that, the end screen (FIG. 6) is displayed, and the explanation of the number of times the reach has occurred and the occurrence state of the big hit ends. By looking at the explanation of the ratio of the number of jackpot occurrences to the number of reach occurrences displayed on the image display device 40, the player can accurately determine the probability of being a jackpot after the reach state occurs in the ball game machine. Since it is possible to grasp the information and determine whether or not to continue the game on the gaming machine, it is possible to enhance the interest of the game.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 12 and 13, an image display device 40 functioning as a prize ball payout status prediction display means will be described. The prize-ball payout situation predicting means 330 of the electric control device 180 predicts a future prize-ball payout situation based on the memory of the jackpot symbol storage means 220 and the memory of the jackpot number storage means 230. In the image display device 40 functioning as a prize ball payout status prediction display means, the prediction of the prize ball payout status is displayed in a line graph to predict the prize ball payout status.

As shown in FIG. 13, the award ball payout situation prediction by the award ball payout situation predicting means 330 is as shown in FIG. Based on the fruit pattern) and the current jackpot pattern, the probability of a jackpot due to each symbol is assumed to be approximately equal, and the future prize ball payout situation is predicted. First, a case in which the payout rate at the end of the big hit is “1” or more will be described. The fact that the payout rate at the end of the big hit is "1" or more means that the number of payout prize balls is larger than the number of shot balls.

Here, the value of the numerical design / fruit design is "1"
In the above case, that is, when a large number of big hits due to a numerical design that increases the probability are generated, and the current big hit design is a numerical design, more launch balls than before until the next big hit occurs. We need more numbers, and we expect the payout rate to be lower than it is now. Therefore, the downward slope of the graph in the line graph showing the prize ball payout state (the value obtained by subtracting the total number of balls fired from the total number of prize balls) is displayed such that it is from the present small degree to the large degree.

On the other hand, when the value of the numerical design / fruit design is “1” or more and the current big hit design is a fruit design, the number of shot balls is about the same as the present until the next big hit occurs. Is required, and we expect that the payout rate will not change from the present. For this reason, the downward slope of the graph in the line graph showing the prize ball payout situation (the value obtained by subtracting the total number of shot balls from the total number of prize balls) is displayed to be a medium degree, as in the present case.

Further, when the value of the numerical design / fruit design is "1" or less, that is, when a large number of big hits due to the fruit design that does not increase the probability occur, and the current big hit design is a numerical design, By the time the next big hit occurs, a slightly larger number of balls must be fired than before, and we expect the ball output rate to be slightly lower than it is now. Therefore, the downward slope of the graph in the line graph showing the prize ball payout state (the value obtained by subtracting the total number of balls discharged from the total number of prize balls) is displayed such that the current grade is from small to medium.

On the other hand, if the current big hit design is a fruit design, it is expected that the number of shot balls will be a little smaller than the present until the next big hit occurs, and the ball output rate is expected to be slightly higher than the present. . For this reason, the downward slope of the graph in the line graph showing the prize ball payout state (the value obtained by subtracting the total number of shot balls from the total number of prize balls) is displayed such that the current downward slope is from medium to small.

Next, the case where the payout rate at the end of the big hit is “1” or less will be described. The fact that the payout rate at the end of the big hit is “1” or less means that the number of payout prize balls is smaller than the number of shot balls. Here, when the value of the numerical design / fruit design is “1” or more, that is, when a large number of big hits due to the numerical design that increases the probability are occurring, and the current big hit design is the numerical design, It is expected that the number of shot balls will be slightly higher than before until the big hit occurs, and the ball output rate will be slightly lower than now. Therefore, the downward slope of the graph in the line graph showing the prize ball payout state (the value obtained by subtracting the total number of balls discharged from the total number of prize balls) is displayed such that the current grade is from small to medium.

On the other hand, when the value of the numerical design / fruit design is “1” or more and the current big hit design is a fruit design, the number of shot balls is about the same as before until the next big hit occurs. Is required, and we expect that the payout rate will not change from the present. For this reason, the downward slope of the graph in the line graph showing the prize ball payout situation (the value obtained by subtracting the total number of shot balls from the total number of prize balls) is displayed to be the same as the present one.

Further, when the value of the numerical design / fruit design is "1" or less, that is, when a large jackpot due to a fruit design that does not increase the probability occurs frequently, and the current jackpot design is a numerical design, By the time the next big hit occurs, it is necessary to have the same number of balls as it has been hitherto, and it is expected that the payout rate will not change from the present. For this reason, the downward slope of the graph in the line graph showing the prize ball payout situation (the value obtained by subtracting the total number of balls fired from the total number of prize balls) is displayed to be small as in the present case.

On the other hand, when the current big hit design is a fruit design, it is expected that the number of shot balls will be slightly smaller than before until the next big hit occurs, and the ball output rate is expected to be slightly higher than the present. . For this reason, the downward slope of the graph in the line graph showing the prize ball payout state (the value obtained by subtracting the total number of shot balls from the total number of prize balls) is displayed such that the current downward slope is from medium to small.

On the basis of the above-mentioned award ball payout situation prediction by the award ball payout situation prediction means 330, a display is made on the image display device 40 which functions as a prize ball payout situation prediction display means. This prize ball payout status prediction display will be described with reference to FIG. This prize ball payout status prediction display is performed subsequent to the above-described prize ball payout status display (FIG. 5). After the prize ball payout status display (FIG. 5) is performed, the symbols that have become the jackpots are sequentially displayed at the positions where the jackpots of the line graph have occurred (FIG. 12 (a)), and the prize ball payout status at the jackpot intervals ( The variation of the total number of prize balls minus the total number of shot balls) is sequentially displayed (FIG. 12B). Then, the future trend of the line graph is displayed by dotted lines based on the prize ball payout status prediction by the prize ball payout status prediction means 330 (FIG. 12).
(C)). Next, in the balloon that appears on the left side of the person, a commentary on the prize ball payout status prediction is displayed. After that, the end screen (FIG. 6) is displayed, and the display of the prize ball payout status prediction is ended.

By looking at the prize ball payout situation forecast displayed on the image display device 40, the player can accurately understand what kind of prize ball payout situation will be in the ball game machine in the future, Since it is possible to determine whether or not to continue the game on the gaming machine, it is possible to enhance the interest of the game. The above-mentioned displays on each display means can be displayed in an arbitrary order, and not all the display on each display means but only the necessary display means can be displayed.

Further, the display method in the image display device 40 functioning as each display means is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and any display method can be used as long as the content to be displayed in each means can be displayed. May be. In the embodiment described above, the pachinko machine is used as the ball game machine, but the ball game machine to which the present invention is applied is not limited to the pachinko machine, and other ball game machines, for example, arrange balls.
